Awesome / Warrior Nun

Go To

BEWARE OF SPOILERS.


Season 1

1 - Psalm 46:5
  • A recently-resurrected Ava killing her first demon. Granted, she thought it was a really messed up dream at the time, but still.

2 - Proverbs 31:25

3 - Ephesians 6:11

4 - Ecclesiasticus 26:9-10

  • An off-screen moment of awesome, but the last we see of Lilith, she has single-handedly taken out a team of well-trained mercenaries sent to retrieve Ava.
  • During the Arq Tech raid for the Divinium shield, Beatrice is confronted by a corridor of armed security guards and she wastes no time single-handedly wrecking them one by one in hand-to-hand combat. When faced with the last one, Beatrice even knocks his gun around while he's trying to shoot her and draws a cross with the gunsmoke before she knocks him out!
    Security Guard: (with a gun pointed at Beatrice) I'll shoot. Don't think I wouldn't.
    Beatrice: Why would I doubt? (promptly kicks the guard's ass before walking away) Faith is my business.

5 - Matthew 7:13

  • All of the Lilith vs Mary fights.

6 - Isaiah 30:20-21

  • Ava killing her second demon after kicking its ass, and this time she knows it's not a dream.

7 - Ephesians 4:22-24

  • Beatrice's Big Damn Heroes moment and giving Sister Crimson a "lesson in camaraderie"...by calling Crimson's attacks exactly as she beats the shit out of her.
  • Immediately after that, Crimson has enough and pulls Mary's shotgun with the intention of shooting Beatrice in the head with it. The literal split-second before she pulls the trigger, Ava launches into action and uses the power of the Halo to save Beatrice's life.

8 - Proverbs 14:1

  • Another off-screen moment of awesome, given that the event happened back in World War II. Beatrice is recounting the tale of the Warrior Nun of the period, who was once a prisoner at a concentration camp, and the time she found herself in a bar with a Nazi officer and some soldiers. She killed the soldiers after they saw the tattoo on her arm. The Nazi officer threatened that he would send her back to the camps himself, and that was the moment when the Warrior Nun moved past her pain and fear and managed to amplify the power of the Halo. She melted the officer's bullets; the officer's gun; the officer himself and she also melted a good chunk of the building, as well. To quote Ava, this Warrior Nun was a badass.
    Beatrice: (reading from the entry in the journal) "Juden," he sneered. "Nein," I replied. "Lesbisch"
    Ava: (smiling with pride for her predecessor) Lesbisch.

9 - 2 Corinthians 10:4

  • Mother Superion coming out of nowhere for a Big Damn Heroes moment to attack Sister Crimson and keep her from shooting Ava.
  • Lilith using her new demon claws to slash Sister Crimson's throat.

10 - Revelation 2:10

  • Mary, Beatrice, Camila and Lilith teaming up to take down Adriel in one awesome fight scene. Unfortunately, they were not able to kill Adriel, but the plan was not to kill him: it was to buy seven minutes.
    • Special mention to Camila for shooting him with a crossbow, yanking the bolt back out, reloading it and shooting him again, this time in the head.
      • And then spitting on him.

Season 2

1 - Galatians 6:4-5
  • Lilith literally tearing through a group of FBC soldiers after Vincent tricks her. At one point, she shreds a man into pieces with her bare claws!

2 - Colossians 3:9-10

  • After a Samaritan interrogation goes awry, a Wraith Demon gets dangerously close to possessing Beatrice. How does Ava react? By screaming "NO!" and delivering a Halo blast that tears the wraith apart.
    • Also counts as Heartwarming. The possessed human breaks free from his restraints and attacks Beatrice. Ava immediately throws herself at him to protect her friend.

8 - Jeremiah 29:13

  • A large group of FBC head off to stop Michael and Ava from intercepting Adriel, only for Beatrice to step out of the shadows. Cue the kickass hallway fight, during which the Sister Warrior utterly decimates the FBC with nothing but her spear and her acrobatics. Say it with us now, Beatrice is badass!
    Beatrice: You all stand between me and Ava. I offer mercy to whoever walks away now. Stay, and you'll never walk again.
