Amaterasu moved through the air, but the missiles were following the heat signature of the sun goddess. Neza was trailing behind the missiles with shotgun and sword drawn. She fired her shotgun when Amaterasu made a sharp turn and couldn't dodge. She moved farther up the sky to avoid being like a dove caught in a hawk's clutches. Neza was caught up in the thrill of the chase as the other gods that weren't in the process in reviving Yori channeled their energy toward Amaterasu to sustain her form, while making them fade more into the plane of the gods.
Yang ripped large sheet of scrap metals from the downed golems with his magnetic powers, throwing them at Jiro. The sharp metal cut through the smaller stones and wedged into the larger ones. The metal scrap that went made shallow cuts at Jiro's arms and legs. Jiro yelled in rage; several stone columns shot up from all sides, made of the densest of stone. Many of the flying pieces of thin and razor sharp metal pieces Yang was controlling collided with these pillars, shaking them off balance. The others barely seemed to turn around the pillars. Jiro started to weave around the pillars as more shot from the ground.
The metal discs shot upward and started to slice down in the gaps of the stone pillars in a cutting arc. Jiro turned around after the first pass of blades missed him, and put his hands together as though he was catching a sword with his two hands. The stone pillars each trapped the metal fragments between each other. He then clenched both of his fists; the ten pillars moved in unison with his fingers. Jiro roared in rage as the palms of the stone fingers shot from the ground. He exerted more energy than he had thought previously possible to bend the stone, using the energy that Amaterasu had been gradually gifting him through the thin sunbeam that cut through the dark sky in defiance. The first gigantic hand shot upward and took full shape to block the incoming missiles Amaterasu was retreating from, and swatting down Neza with vicious backhand. The second gigantic hand came at Yang as a fist barrelling down the earth where he stood in place. At the corner of his eye, Jiro saw Yori move towards Yang to attack him with his fingers around his sword, about to be hit by the stone hand. It stopped, but as soon as it did, the body of Yori instantly dropped like a rag doll. The metal of Yori's body had all been controlled, down to the last meticulous detail in how he walked. The two warriors started to wrest control over the hand comprised of stone and the metal embedded in it in a battle of wills. As soon as Yang felt the hand was under his control, he shot it back at Jiro. However, not the whole hand moved. The index fingertip remained and flew at Yang. Yang saw that the Aqwuis Stone in Jiro's possession was glowing, and as the fingertip shot through the air, the friction caused the fingertip to be shaped like an arrow, flying a perfect path, along the magnetic field Yang could feel instinctively. It's core was mainly metal, and it was moving along the path like it was a rail. Realizing this in only an instant, the arrowhead rock reached the pole - his brain.
Yori's body was surrounded by the subtle energies of Tsukiyomi, Kisshōten, Mikaboshi bringing him back from the grave. An aspect of him was coming through, which had used his cybernetics to calculate the killing move to be relayed to Jiro through the Aqwuis Stone.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR BITCH SLAPPING ME, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Neza screamed in the sky. An entire ordinance of missiles were revealed from several compartments jutting out from Neza's sides. Amaterasu raised her sword up high to channel the sun's heat into a very small but intensely hot orb. She was fading away like the other gods. This would be her last gift, in response to the request the aspect of Yori whispered in her ear like a muse. When the missiles were fired, they curved towards the much more intense source of heat. When Neza realized the presence of the orb, it was too late. She could dodge the orb, but she couldn't dodge the blast radius of the missiles that were attracted and would explode because of the intense heat, nor stop part of her metal body from melting violently into liquid solder.
The smoke cleared. Neza remained standing in the air, a monstrosity held together by tendrils of black energy. All the gods faded away from the mortal plane. The stones rose up and surrounded Neza, except for the Aqwuis Stone, defiant and under Jiro's control.
"You cannot win as long as I'm alive to fight against you." said Jiro.
"YOU ARE ALONE!"
"I don't have much time." Yori whispered, through the Aqwuis Stone, still lying as though inert. Yori could feel Hotaru with him as two flames joining to become one. At any moment he knew it could all end, but it was no longer about the gods anymore. He would help his best friend.
