Stage 3:
Gabriel moves to finish Satan off with the Vampire Killer only for Satan to morph into the shadows and slip behind him. He then impails Gabriel with his staff, immobilizing him. He then picks up the fallen Vampire Killer and moves upon Homura who is exhausted from maintaining the barrier. The Master Chief tries to stop Satan but Satan entraps him in that black gunk he uses in Lords of Shadow 2. Homura tries to strike but finds herself immobilized as well, her legs and wings entraped in the goo. Satan monolouges for a bit about his power and how he is now unstoppable. He then wonders if the Vampire Killer can destroy more than just Vampires and then pulls Homura back more so that he can make a clean strike for her heart saying let\'s find out. Gabriel and the Chief struggle to break free while Homura realizes just how horribly ironic this whole situation is. Before Satan can strike the final blow however he is stopped, mere milimeters from Homura\'s flesh. Unleashing Kriemhild Gretchen weakened his hold over Madoka. Inside his head he tries to force Madoka back into submission but cannot. Madoka may not be happy with Homura\'s actions but she refuses to hold them against her, not after everything Homura went through. Homura has made mistakes and maybe walking down a dark path but to Madoka she is still her very best friend. Madoka overpowers Satan forcing him out of her body and shattering the retraints he had placed upon the Chief and Homura. For the moment she is once more a full scale over diety with her full powers restored and enhanced by the God Mask. With a single movement Madoka destroys Satan\'s staff freeing Gabriel. Satan summons the Leviathan only for Madoka to one shot the massive beast. Doing so however burns through the last of Madoka\'s strength and she promptly passes out reverting to her human form and Demigoddes power level. Homura catches Madoka before she can hit the ground. Satan has a villanous breakdown right before the Chief and Gabriel start beating the tar out of him. All the commotion however has drawn others especially now that the barrier is down. Cosmos, the Emperor of Man, Sayaka Miki, and a few other key members of the sisterhood arrive. Initially what they see is Homura holding an unconcious and somewhat battered Madoka. Sayaka jumps to the conclusion that Homura\'s trying to kidnap Madoka. Homura runs with this idea going into her card carrying villain mode. Before she can get very far however Satan is thrown into the middle of the room with Gabriel landing on top of him and putting his foot on Satan\'s face. Gabriel gives the true versions of events and declares that if anyone wants to harm Homura they will have to answer to him first. The Chief confirms the story and adds that with respect he would basically fight whoever strikes first. Cosmos and the Emperor take the Chief\'s word for it. Gabriel recovers the Vampire Killer and then leads Homura out dragging Satan along with them. The Chief follows them as far as the door, on Cosmos\' orders. Once out of ear shot of anyone else Homura asks why they stood up for her. Gabriel says simply that he knows how hard the path she walks is, but she doesn\'t have to walk it alone. The Chief says that it was simply the right thing to do. Homura starts crying silently, cracking a genuine smile. Satan moans, Homura kicks him in the head and asks if she can deal with him as she has a very special torment planned.
