BATAN!!!
The golem is knocked into one of the tallest skyscrapers of Pira Attis, making it topple into smaller buildings behind it. The golem's armor has begun to crack, showing that the fire tone inside is getting weaker.
The guitar solo starts, and flames begin to erupt from the golem's cracks.
(Seems he isn't done yet!) I think.
(Stop this!) Riva thinks.
(Don't interfere!)
The golem curls up into a boulder and rolls towards me. I cannot risk letting it roll through me in my gaseous state, so I send some of my snakes forward to create a barrier. I cannot die, but I will get tired if I have to continue summoning more snakes.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Before colliding with unaffected buildings, the golem uncurls itself, grabs the section that all my heads share, then suplexes it.
BATAN!!!
Grabbing as many heads the golem's two hands can hold, it moves as fast as it can towards the sea, dragging the heads through the ground as it goes.
And with all its might, the golem tosses me to the edge of the sea where Sutoria's previous concert was held.
"No more obstructions..." the man's voice echoes, "and no more mercy!"
BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The golem's legs break, replacing them with volcano-like eruptions that propel the golem up like a rocket. At a certain height, they stop...
And the golem curls into a ball once more.
"THE FINAL BLOW!!! FIRE DRIVE: GOLIATH METEOR!!!!!"
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Upon collision, the ground shakes violently while the golem explodes in flames. After the debris and flames disappear, all that remains is a large crater, half filled with sea water, with a pile of solid magma covering the man in the golem.

At least, that's what it immediately looks like.
The yakuza members who watched the spectacle, as well as many of the citizens still in the city, remain dumbfounded at the battle they witnessed. The Keisetsu members, on the other hand, head to the crater.
"Tamashi!" Clara yells.
"He's over there!" Sigka replies, pointing to a pile of magma after smelling the air.
As they dig out their ally, they find Tamashi's head first.
"Well...how did I do?" he asks.
"Good." says Sigka. "I think it's..."
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
"It's not over yet!" I yell...
As my hydra form, now significantly bigger in size, erupts from the ocean.
"WHAT!?" cries Katsumi. "How did...!?"
The snakes I have are injured, so I make them bite each other to have new heads replace the old ones.
But in doing so, I reveal my weakness.
!!
"Wha!? Where's the main head!?!?!?" Sigka yells.
That's right. To kill a hydra, they have to kill the main head. But in its place is a cloud of mist. Where is it? In the theatre with Sutoria. This is taxing on my rhime, and the "head" in the theatre cannot create more snakes without the rest of the body, but no matter how strong they are, I cannot die this way.
"This is the end!!!" I yell through one of the heads.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I send two of my largest new snakes towards the Kei...
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And my snakes are turned to ash...
By black flames.
"It...can't be!" Katsumi yells.
All the Keisetsu members turn around to look at the top of the crater and see a man even I recognize.
Hisao.
"This fight concerns the entire Keisetsu, and you wanted me to stay behind?" Hisao asks, walking down the crater.

"Never thought I'd see you in person." I say. "Hell's Kulshedra, wielder of the black flame that can turn anything to ash."
"I'd be flattered, if I didn't hate you so much for what you've done to my family."
"Overprotective, grandpa?"
"And now you're making me angrier!!!"
I pause, then have all my snake heads "laugh" in unison.
"A chance to fight you, after all this time! Show me! Show me the power I've given you!"
(What're you saying?) Riva thinks.
...
"I see." Hisao says. "So it is you."
"You knew Hunter?" Hiromu asks.
"Not THIS Hunter, but yes."
(Guess our assumption was correct.) Hisao thinks.
(Indeed. This is awkward.)
Hisao sighs.
"Let's end this once and for all!" he yells. "Outcross to outcross! Let's go, Apis!!!!"
(Right!)
Black flames begin to circle around Hisao and...
