Suddenly being lifted in the air, Victor struggled against his captor when he was hit by a painfully loud sonic wave. The aural assault on his ears continued to intensify, completely destroying his equilibrium. Eventually, Victor's hearing gave out and the only thing he could feel was pain. Claws dug into his charred skin as he felt as if his head would explode. Suddenly, his attacker vanished, leaving Victor to fall to the ground, deaf and bleeding.
Next, he was launched into the air by Garrus's shockwave, right into the murder of vicious crows Steven manifested. The birds instantly set upon him, ripping and tearing at his battered body. Howling again, this time in equal parts pain and rage, Victor launched a last-minute, desperate blast, eliminating the crows, but causing the skin of his hands to start smoking.
He landed once more, his anger the only thing fueling his grotesquely injured body. Victor rose unsteadily to his feet, his breath coming in deep, guttural growls. Looking the extent of his injuries, he should not have been alive. The entire right side of his outfit was completely burned off, revealing his gaping chest wound and skin covered in third-degree burns. The skin of his hands were blackened, smoking, and sparking.
With a slow, menacing gait, Victor advanced on the Society team again, his entire body beginning to shoot off wild arcs of electricity. "If I'm going down, then YOU'RE DOING DOWN WITH ME!" he bellowed as he called more and more energy into his body. The very room began to feel electrically charged as Victor drew massive amounts of power.
Suddenly, another figure entered the fray and immediately dove into Victor, slamming his fist into Victor's face. The blow broke his focus and caused his slippery hold over the large amount of electricity to fail. The energy erupted from his hands and harmlessly dissipated. The attacker got up to his feet first. It was Levi, whose gaze was focused on the now rising Victor.
Victor met Levi's gaze with a twisted smirk. "Bartholomew. You've decided to show up," he said to Levi with a hint of annoyance.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world, Victor," was Levi's curt reply before he set himself upon the wounded Victor with a series of savage blows to his face. Victor was incapable of offering much resistance, throwing up weak counters and blocks that Levi easily broke though. Unable to keep up with the speed of Levi's attack, Victor began to laugh as each individual blow landed on him. Eventually, Levi had Victor against the wall, where he slammed his fist into his face without mercy.
After his barrage, Levi slammed Victor's head against the wall and held him against the wall by his neck. Completely beaten, Victor spat blood at Levi's boots and stared up at him defiantly. "You think you've won, you fool. You haven't seen the last of me, Bartholomew. This I promise you. YOU WON'T WIN!" he screamed.
"I just want my mind back," Levi replied flatly.
He slammed Victor against the wall again, which shattered like glass and exploded outwards. Beyond the destroyed wall was nothingness, an endless black void. With a final, vicious blow, Levi broke Victor's neck and sent him tumbling backwards into the dark abyss. He watched Victor fall until his distant form was swallowed by the darkness. After a long silence, Levi turned around and faced the group, his expression now somber.
"It's over," he said with a relieved sigh.
