[neverbeamemory]

Characters: Sephiroth, and those that might try to stop/interact with him. Also Open Mingle for reaction purposes. (Tower of Jenova Phase #2)
Setting: Commencing mid-morning 23rd March. Locations: Dormitory 02-06, then on route to Floor 23 post-Killswitch
Format: Prose/Action as necessary 
Summary: Sephiroth's power level reaches a tipping point. He retires to his Dormitory for channeling more of his energy than he has yet thought to attempt. Using Reunion as a tool he flips a Killswitch in all those Tainted and instantly sucks all of the energy accumulated from the Deaths, and the Tower itself, together in one go. Causing a complete failure of the Tower's power; all Glamour and Power systems drop.
The result - finally he manages to break his cage. 
There is only one thing left to do, find an exit from the Tower (Closed NPC Prompt). 
Warnings: All the warnings including but not limited to: OP-Sephiroth, out-of-body experiences, glamour breaks, mutations, body horror and character death.

[Thousands of spectral hands appear, originating from Zo's form.]

You don't get to make demands.

[There really is nothing else for it but Sephiroth isn't about to turn his back on those hands to attack the barrier. He flicks his sword around to the front of him and waits for the hands to move to attack him. He will slash at the first ones to approach him - he expected to have to fight his way out, in the end.

The energy closest to his core shines up brighter as Sephiroth prepares to defend himself.]

[The spectral hands seem to grab at the air before rushing toward Sephiroth's sword--but they bring the air with it as Zo finds the very barrier separating the air from everything else and forces it forward.]

[neverbeamemory]

[Similarly to the way that he conjured his telekinetic shield while he was still in a wire frame, Sephiroth does the same now in his spirit form. To brace for the impact of that barrier before it would get to the defense of Masamune, now crossed across his form which is ready in his battle stance now.

The energy near crackles in the atmosphere between them]

[animusnpcs]

[The air collides with the barrier--and swallows it up as Zo moves the barrier of the air here. The sword will go next, turning into air as if nothing was there at all.]

[neverbeamemory]

[There is no time at all between the complete dissipation of his shield and when Masamune vanishes into nothing as if it weren't there. Sephiroth takes half a step back and tries again to summon his sword. Failing that he grunts as he wills all his metaphysical and psychic defense to the front of him, the intention to resist the barrier on his own at the height of his ability.

Not now. Not after coming so far-]

[Zo's entire body glows, shining with sharp light as the hands come forward and rip and tear and push and pull--they pierce Sephiroth in the most literal sense of the word. They pierce Sephiroth's existence as much as they pierce his body, and they begin to rip and tear at it, pulling pulling pulling until the tendrils of energy holding it in place snap with thick, painful sounds.

It is only through Zo's own power of will that Sephiroth's very essence doesn't shatter into a million irreparable pieces. Of course, Sephiroth's sense of awareness is left in his body while Zo leaves with his self, left in unimaginable pain for several minutes until he finally falls unconscious and dies.]
