-IH-9 just holds him and doesn't squeeze-
-It's quite intent on making sure other people have an easy shot-
-But it does start forcing its own will onto Kazfiel-
-Not hoping to defeat him, but discourage him-
-The weight of an entire world bears down on him-
-All its hopes, all its dreams, all its hates-
-Right on top of him-
-IH-9 starts glowing fiercely-
Battlefield
Well
Not anymore
-Mustang lets go and falls to the ground-
-Gil-
... Right.
-Hawkeye picks herself up, reaching for her pistol-
I had forgotten... how much...
-HK-47 falls out of a HK-stretch-hole in Luffy onto the floor-
Command: Give me one reason meatbag. One reason.
-Klara-
-Gigolo nods-
-Lance-
That seems likely. Drive the ship closer.
Ah. Well. Here's where we run into difficulties.
-There is an intake of breath behind Revan's mask and his lightsaber snaps to life-
-As Gigolo suddenly reappears behind the piloting console and the ship, his hand inside the console-
-The ship grinds to a stop, floating in the sky-
-He smiles, in that infuriating way-
Now that we're all here, I think we can get to business.
Now. How many of you are actually surprised at this point?
City
-This time Kazfiel manages to protect the wing being targeted, pulling it out of the way just in time-
-As the angel gathers its power
-
-The angel stares back up at the robot, matching its own will against
THEGLORYTHEPOWERTHEWILLTHEGLORYTHEPOWERTHEWILLIAMTRUMPETSIAMHOLYFIRE
MENE MENE TEKEL UPARSHIN
-Fire spills from its eyes toward the Dotbot and the lance falls from its body, the angel still wounded-
-But holy winds rise about the sword and Fen cannot approach it without burning herself-
-However this effort means that the lasers of Suzy burn into the angel and while it's not incapacitating-
-That has to sting-
-No it doesn't Steph-
-It's-
-It's just-
-Hey, what are you doing cooperating with the people who murdered you, DIOno that can't be right-
-The power is dominating-
-Bound with your mind-
-The armour is reforming about John-
-But his wounds aren't closing-
Haaah...
-He moves in front of Suzy, blocking her from the angel as she attacks-
Get behind me with her Luis.

-waves a hand boredly- It was inevitable. I am only surprised you had waited so long for this.
Ah... ah, shit, ah shit, ah shit...
-grits her teeth, withdrawing from the fight as she tries to fight it back-
Fuck off, I'm not you. I'm not you, I'm not you, I'm not...
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIEh...?
-Peels himself off the floor and looks up at Gigolo-
Ah... AH!! I knew there was something off about you!
DRIVER ON!
Wait, you're not—!
-Grips his Keyblade-
("...It's something he's gotta do...")
-SORA... has actually run out of magic after doing two Limits in a row, so he waits and watches for a solid opening to run into-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean-IH-9 is melted as the fire rolls over its body-
-But it does not care one bit-
-As the armor melts away, light pours out and forms a new exterior-
-Its superstructure groans, and with some effort, it moves one arm around just enough to point the sword at Kazfiel's side-
-Then it stabs with everything its got, still holding onto him with reckless abandon-
-The smooth baritone voice tries to speak, but it fails-
-Even the persona of Jelaurasz Serisz, the martial idol of Dot, has fallen away by this point-
-Now only the god part of her remains-
-IH-9 turns its head to look at Kazfiel, a holy wrath emanating from its eyes and a low, booming, jagged voice comes from within it-
I AM THE INHERITOR OF THE POWER OF ME'HRON. I AM THE HERALD OF TALLIS THERAKEN. WE CANNOT DIE. WE ARE INDOMITABLE. IRREPRESSIBLE. AGELESS. TRANSCENDENT. YOU ARE BUT THE SERVANT OF YOUR HIGHER GODS. WE ARE A GOD UNTO OURSELVES, AND YOU CANNOT STOP US.
-Starts doing the spacial thing again, except this time trying to crush Kazfiel's body-
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST THE WRATH OF MANKIND? AGAINST OUR HOLY CHAMPION? NOTHING. YOU ARE PATHETIC. YOU ARE FINITE. WE ARE INEXORABLE.
-IH-9's will is being challenged, and some of these words are bluster, but it's not daunted-
-A fresh wave of emotion and power comes forth from it: a desperate, reckless push-
DEATH IS THE ONLY THING THAT REMAINS FOR YOU. GIVE YOURSELF UP NOW, AND YOUR END WILL BE SWIFT.
Battlefield
-The push is not stopped-
-But it passes through him as if he's not even there
-
-He tsk tsks at Klara-
Please. I'm the best at hiding there ever was.
-Gil-
That's right Golden Boy. Of course you'd understand this.
-Luffy-
Why? You're asking me why?
-He begins to laugh-
Well, let's just say I had a thought and a memory.
My blood brother told me about what was coming. He had an idea. A way we could turn it to our advantage. Conception didn't have to just belong to the angels.
Don't worry. You're needed in it. Otherwise I wouldn't have let you come here. But... you can't stop Conception I'm afraid. That's needed too.
Of course, my blood-brother's plan was a good one.
But, if I'm being honest with myself...
-He laughs all the harder-
It just sounded like a blast. Back to the good old days, swindling who we can.
And I swindled well.
Thor, Barkley, Stanton, Morax... and now you as well, I suppose.
-A light shines about him-
I am Skywalker, Liesmith, and Giant's Child.
-With each name, more Gigolos appears at some part of the room-
When I tremble as the snake drips its venom in my eyes, the land quakes with me.
-He grins
◊-
When Morax came to me, begging for help, he licked my boots.
-Each of the Lokis moves in unison-
I am Loki.
-There is one for each of you-
Bad guy doesn't begin to describe what I am.
City
-Suzy-
I promised you. Didn't I?
-It is hard to fight Steph-
-You need what can only be called a superhuman will to control it-
-The angel raises its sword to meet Balrog, the wind tying it in knots-
-As its remaining hand holds the Pokemon's attacks at bay-
-Its side continues to bleed-
-And into this side the sword of the god plunges, and the angel screams-
-Another wing is burnt away-
-There are only two left-
No! Thou art false! You are nothing, bound to the world, creature of the world!
Mankind exists only to serve, and its will is nothing!
-The hole in the clouds grows wider-
You are filth! Filth who are tainted, who do not deserve the world to come! Ye who consort with demons, who defy the plan!
-With a burst of energy and rage, the angel cuts free, flying at Luis and Suzy, its sword pointed directly at them-
-John steps forward-
-But his body can't keep up-
-And his spirit throws a fist that strikes true to the angel's face, even as his body falls apart-
Promise me this. Don't let him win. Save my city, even if I can't.
I'm glad I got to meet you all. I had a blast.
-The rainbow light dissipates across the city's horizon-
-And then John is gone-
-The angel floats with its two remaining wings in the centre of the room-
-Its face is literally cracked-
-Not from John's fist-
-From the angel's own rage-

-continues muffled screaming-
-until it breaks, at which point physics propels him forward, at which point his muffled screaming becomes unmuffled-
-looks at john, then at kazfiel-
-looks utterly pissed-
Dive!
-it dives downward, gaining ludicrous speed-
-trying to hit the wing-
