• Imu and the others poured their strength into a combined assault, shattering the meteor into flaming fragments that crashed into the sea.
• The people of Sabaody saw the meteor destroyed, but remained too drained and frightened to cheer.

Madara taunted Imu and summoned a second, planet-sized meteorite over Mary Geoise, leaving Imu unable to escape without abandoning his reign. As the battlefield lost hope, Natsu called on Kunwu, and red-gold Chakra began spreading through Sabaody while avoiding those who had taken lives.

• A brilliant pillar of light descended from the sky, pierced the second meteor, and began disintegrating it from within.

A beam pierced the meteorite above the Sabaody Archipelago, but left a third of it intact and breaking into a rain of deadly fragments. The fragments and resulting tsunamis devastated the archipelago as unprotected Navy Soldiers and civilians faced destruction.

• The beam erased a vast stretch of sea and seabed before fading, while the damaged meteorite broke apart into hundreds of fragments.
