Alex, instead of celebrating, pulls out his favorite weapon, [Mr. 5’s .44 Caliber 6-Shot Revolver]. He activates Sealions Icewing Embrace lvl 0, feeling stronger than ever, and aims at his enemy, shouting to the rest, "NOW, ATTACK!"
Vivi, still enraged, enters a trance, his body glowing in bright shiny colors with a hint of green. Alex has no time to inspect the changes in Vivi’s appearance and immediately fires his gun at Black Waltz No. 3, who stares back with pure hatred.
"You didn’t like that present, huh? How about this?" Alex taunts, firing again.
[Mr. 5’s .44 Caliber 6-Shot Revolver] effect activates: Explosive ammunition!

"You scum! I exist to kill. I will kill you all!" Black Waltz No. 3 flies into the air, readying a powerful Thundara spell. Within seconds, the entire group is hit by the spell’s wrath.
Even Alex, protected by his icy armor, feels the pain and force of the spell. Fortunately, his new ability reduces the damage significantly.

Vivi retaliates with a double Blizzard spell, inflicting tremendous damage on Black Waltz No. 3, who becomes even more enraged, ignoring all attacks and focusing solely on retaliation.
Steiner and Zidane attempt to strike the Waltz, but he uses his wings to fly higher, evading their attacks.
Alex quickly readies another Annihilation Grenade lvl 1, setting the fuse to just 1 second before hurling it into the air.
Miraculously, Black Waltz No. 3 uses his staff to deflect the grenade back toward the group, showcasing his intelligence, concentration, and quick reflexes. However, shortly after striking it, the grenade explodes, still close enough to injure him.
BOOM – The explosion and three shrapnel shards hit him, though he barely avoids the flames.

Despite his outfit and body already half-destroyed, Black Waltz No. 3 disregards the damage and casts his mightiest Thundara spell, not at the group, but directly at Alex. Desperate, Alex raises his [Shield of Pluto], fortified by his icy conjuration ability.
You have taken 34 damage

Vivi, relentless, casts another double Blizzard, causing the wounded puppet to cry out in agony. Black Waltz No. 3, however, despite his pain charges straight at Alex, using his "Hit" ability. This isn’t the simple punch from the game but a blow infused with thunder energy. He strikes wildly at Alex, screaming incoherently, "KILLLL. DESTROY. KKKKKKIILLLL!!!!! YOU SCUMMMM!!!!"

After three painful hits that slowly chip away at Alex’s armor and reduce his HP by a small margin, it isn’t Alex who collapses. Instead, Black Waltz No. 3 reels in agony, taking significant damage from Alex’s frozen armor. The ice spikes embedded in his armor inflict cruel, grievous wounds, and Black Waltz’s left arm becomes completely immobile.
Grinning painfully but defiantly, Alex counters with a heavy strike from his [Sword of Pluto], the blow landing with brutal force. Black Waltz No. 3 stumbles back, barely holding himself together, clearly on the verge of death.
You have dealt 33 damage to Black Waltz No. 3

Steiner and Zidane join the fray, landing another series of heavy blows. The now permanently crippled and nearly destroyed Black Waltz No. 3 leaps into the air.
"Immpp...osss...iible. Huuumannn...usssing...Se...aaaalllio...oonsss pppowerrr..." he stammers, barely able to form words.
"Mission...retrieve...Princess...Garnet...alive."
In a final act of desperation, he jumps off the cargo ship, clumsily flying toward his airship.
"No, you don’t!" Alex shouts, throwing his last Annihilation Grenade lvl 1, at Black Waltz No. 3 and firing desperately to stop him from escaping. His attacks, however, miss as the cargo ship he is standing on speeds away, too fast for him to land a hit.
"DAMN!" Alex curses in frustration, panic setting in. "Will he even give chase in that condition?" he wonders, unsure of what comes next.
The wounded and glitching Black Waltz No. 3 flies toward the small, chaser-style airship following the cargo ship, terrifying Zorn and Thorn. Fearing his growing madness, they abandon the ship in panic. Despite his condition, Black Waltz No. 3 manages to reach the airship within minutes. He steers it towards the cargo ship screaming:
“Kill…Mission…Retrieve…”
