“No you don't!” you snarl, again focusing your ki through the blade. Once more there's a flash of azure light, the helmet not regaining control of the woman. But she then raises both arms.
“ENOUGH!!” she shouts, trying to use the helmet's magic once more. But you don't stop channeling your ki through the weapon and stopping it before she can cast anything. But that seems to have been the last of the woman's strength, her body sagging against the wall. Nabu then confirms she's done by shooting itself up and off her head, flying away from you as its eyes glow.
“Lightning of Penitence!” the helmet calls as you turn, jerking the dagger from the woman's chest to see twin bolts of crimson lightning streaking towards you. Again you cleave through the magical attacks, with two flashes of light the attacks disappear into nothing. “Shackles of Anubis!”
Suddenly, from the crystallized ground explode dozens of chains, each as pitch black as the true Dark you've witnessed before. But as they shoot up out of the ground, your son calls out.
“Crystallize!” he calls, and to your shock the chains themselves begin crystallizing. You leap back, the chains trying to follow but are completely bound within your son's crystals before they can grow to even three feet long. “You're not escaping this time! CHAOS SPACE!!”
And the world around you is completely consumed by swirling lights and sensations, tastes and smells as nothing makes sense. One moment you feel like you are falling, the next drowning, and the moment after being consumed by flames. But then everything stops, leaving the three of you without that woman's body in a world of nothing but gray. The ground is gray, indistinguishable from the gray sky and gray everything. The only source of light is your blazing emerald aura, reflecting off of the golden helm.
“You think to keep me trapped here, in this space? Please. Law of Order: Causality! The First Flame of Disparity!” Nabu declares, and from that helmet erupts a blazing inferno. The heat is instant and intense, more powerful than any fire you've ever seen. If it consumes you, you're in for an agonizingly painful death.
