Your stomach twists in on itself. Your blood begins to boil. Oh, you can taste the END. The final moment of your journey. Hanging in front of your face like a juicy, RAW steak.

The PURIFIER crosses its arm in a defensive position. "ANONYMOUS ANLAYSIS FINISHED THROUGH 'FLESH' AND 'RESTRAINT' SHADOW FILTERS. ATTACK SHALL DEAL 100 FLESH AND RESTRAINT DAMAGE. LAST RESERVE OF REALITY ERASING GAS BEING PREPARED. TOTAL PURIFICATION IN PROGRESS."
The threat analysis collar around Max's neck is beeping like it's about to fucking explode. "Uh! I don't think it's lying! W-what the fuck are we going to do???"

"WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO KILL IT!" Quentin's face knots into something ugly and confused. "RIGHT NOW. I HOPE."
"That thing fuckin' ate our bullets like it was breakfast!" Clover snaps his arm back into place. "I don't really got any juice for 'nother JUSTICE BLAST."

"Okay, okay, okay." You toss the O-CORP CHARM over to Max. "I got a plan. You're going to eat a hit, Max."
"WHAT????"
You can feel Benjamin's eyes staring right through your soul. Okay, you should clarify. You quickly whisper the plan to the both of them while the PURIFIER is still charging his attack.

The two are obviously hesitant but it's either this or everyone gets mulched here and now.
Your allies all move to surround the PURIFIER. Guns, swords and wrenches are raised towards the stationary PURIFIER. The floor is drenched in a slurry of sweat, blood, ash and oil.

Dozens of camera drones fly above your party. Drinking up every last bit of action that's unfolding before them.
An audience. Watching your final performance.
There must be millions of eyes watching this unfold. Allies left behind to heal, associates from every corner of the City, maybe even your own family...if you could remember what their faces looked like. Even the CEOs are watching what's unfolding like it's the most entertaining thing they've seen in decades.

[UNSTABLE] The heavens have spoken: This tarnished, filthy deer has no more highs to rise to...
[POI] There's nothing that can threaten our FAMILY anymore. We're safe. They're safe.
[ANOMALY] Shall we go out with a bang?
[SEEK] With solemn grace, we shall accept this divine ascension.

You can't mess up now.

Time itself begins to distort around Maruyama, Max and Benjamin. Maru and Max rapidly circle around the PURIFIER to keep it second guessing where their positions are. Benjamin darts up as high as his wings will let him. A ball of ash begins to build in his hands that gets larger and larger by the second.

You can hardly see the PURIFIER's eyes but you can tell it's trying to keep track on where Max and Maruyama are at.
Max intentionally slows down right in front of the PURIFIER.
Casey takes this moment to goad the CEO on, 'C'MON! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STAND THERE AND TAKE IT?!"

>68!
It reflexively throws a punch at Max without really questioning why you WANT it to hit her. She doesn't bother dodging out of the way.
