Beethoven holds out his hands over the piano, the index, pinky, and ring finger on his right hand are red, broken, and bruised from Sett stomping on it. Yet he does not stop, slamming his fingers down on the keys, wincing in pain "!..!" The piano fires notes out at immense speeds much like the orchestra before.

Sett dodges them with relative ease, with a quick flip only to suddenly find more notes striking him which he swiftly twists around, landing on one foot, but in that same moment, his foot is knocked out from under him by something he didn't even see! As he falls forward he is struck in the head by a speedy note once more. "KAH!" he tumbles backwards a little. "KYAHAHA! You're not done yet are you!?" He calls out laughing happily glaring at Beethoven scratching his cheeks a little more. "GOOD! PERFECT! AWESOME! MORE FUN FIGHTING! KYAAAAAAAAHAHAHA!" Sett springs forward, Beethoven switching up his grip playing with vigorous abandon despite of his broken fingers, tapping on the pedals under the piano with his broken leg, enduring the pain through sheer willpower.

"!.!.!" Sett leaps around the arena again, holding up his arm to summon the sand blades again but he looks up and notices his missing hand before being struck back a bit.

"Kyaha… my hand's gone," he keeps dodging on pure instinct, his eyes menacingly darting around before he sees it sitting right next to Beethoven's piano still gripping his khopesh. He flexes his arm as the sand slowly but surely forms into a single Egyptian battleaxe, which he swings around with his remaining hand. "Kyahaha! This is getting interesting now!" He runs forward, swinging his axe around, striking the notes away yet he keeps being struck by something, knocking him off balance, but he keeps moving forward. "KYAAAA!"

"!" Beethoven glares up at him slamming down on his keyboard, with a single loud plink, sending two notes out, Sett sees them materialize midair right next to each other, swinging his axe to knock them both away, but finds he only hits… ONE?! The other was slightly slower! He jerks his head aside, dodging it and he leaps at Beethoven raising his axe above his head.

Icarus looks down in shock. "What's going on!? Shouldn't he be severely weakened without any violins, drums, trumpets, OR flutes!?"

Pandora nods. "He should. He IS! But there's a trick. You see… a piano is an instrument that is actually TWO types! It's a chordophone, which is why it fires the notes like string instruments. But it's also a lot of small membranophones! Because of that, now that he's playing it himself rather than conducting, he can more accurately control the power and direction of the notes it shoots!? YEAH! That's it!"

"But… his fingers are broken… there's no way he can keep this up!"

"He has to. Losing his hand, it looks like Sett's lost a good deal of control over his sand blades too!"

Sett holds up his axe, spinning it around as he comes down with a strong swing. In response, Beethoven slams his fingers down on the keys, causing Sett to strike a powerful aimed note and depleting the power of his attack, instead Sett simply lands with one foot on the piano and one on the ground behind it! He sets off with his other, for an axe swing directly down onto Beethoven, who raises his hands to blow Sett away but as he hammers them down his broken finger bends the wrong way, hitting the wrong note, only managing to strike Sett slightly as a result of the drawback of his instrument! If not played perfectly they will misfire! He jerks his head back, Sett's axe grazing his loose hair and getting in a deep cut on his right arm. "!.!.!.!" Beethoven grits his teeth, switching his grip on his left hand, rapidly playing a quick melody, blasting notes point blank at Sett forcing the god to leap back, his axe morphing into two axe-heads only which he shoots out, Beethoven jerking his head to the side, dodging one, and hitting the other with a note. He looks at his torn coat, and swiftly rips the sleeve off, and wraps it around the cut. "!.!.!" He grabs his hand with his functional one and places it on the keyboard. He can't lift his arm quickly anymore! BUT HE CAN STILL PLAY!

"Aren't you happy!? Beethoven! Getting such a THRILL! KYAHAHA!" Sett springs forth, his sand forming a long blade at his arm stump, which he stabs toward Beethoven. GUARDIAN'S HAND! Beethoven plays away on his keys Sett twirling midair to dodge the fast ones, slicing up the slower ones coming in after with his new hand blade. Beethoven puts his fingers together, hitting four keys in a row, sending four notes, and then moves back, hitting them again, each note practically striking right at the tip of Sett's blade, breaking them only to be replaced with more, Sett's blade being chipped away until Beethoven is struck in the chest by Sett's arm-stump once more, sending him tumbling out of his seat.

Christian folds his hands together. "Please. This is… too much. Just WIN already! Please, Ludwig! I can't bear to watch," He lets his hand sink into his arms as Beethoven crawls towards his piano, Sett suddenly kicking him in the stomach his claws digging into him a bit as he goes tumbling.

"!?" Beethoven rolls, protecting his head as he pants, seeing Sett approaching him. He gets to his feet panting as Sett approaches forming a new sword on his stump, grinning ear to ear.

"What now?! WHAT NOW!? Show me what's next!" He calls out, Beethoven gritting his teeth, Sett jumping for him, Beethoven diving to the side, barely avoiding the attack and he shuffles towards the piano as Sett comes in from behind, Beethoven springing forward with his broken hand to aim for the keys, as Sett leaps over him. "You're SO FUUUUN! Let's see how fun it is to KILL YOU!" He laughs swinging his blade, right as Beethoven hits the left-most key on the piano, sending a note straight into the air at Sett's throat, making the god's eyes jitter and he misses the strike for Beethoven's head, but using his long arm he manages to get hold of his khopesh which has been stuck into the ground for a while now. He careens back into the air as Beethoven hammers on his keys again somewhat uncontrolled for once. Sett grins as he forms a shield behind him to stop him from flying back. GUARDIAN'S ARMORY: BLOODBATH FINISH! He holds his weapons close to his body ready to slash and he springs off with a grunt. "DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE HUMAAAAAAN!"

Beethoven grits his teeth feeling his entire body tensing up, raising his arms, staring Sett straight in the eyes as he approaches before hitting all ten of his fingers down on keys, each note sent out at full power. Sett begins his crossed slash, his tongue hanging out of his mouth with excitement, slicing through several notes at once, each one chipping at the blades! Beethoven raises his hands up once more, striking down rapidly, and Sett makes contact! And then! ... ... Silence.

FINAL VERSE: CODA… Beethoven falls back onto the block designated as his chair as Sett hits the piano, bouncing off of it hard without bracing at all, having gone fully limp, sliding across the ground, striking the wall, and falling onto his back, laughing a little. He looks over at Beethoven as the human turns on his 'chair'.

"kya… haha… 178… you hit me 178 times with those… notes. ahaha… that's funny…" he coughs up a bit of blood. "How fun. Dying… seems pretty fun. Don't you think?" He asks, Beethoven is unable to hear a single thing he's saying, but Sett sees his eyes still have the same look they had when they first met. "Quiet… so quiet… Ahahaa… Shouldn't it be sad… to die…? I like… dying… Kyahahaaaaah… I'm glad... dying is fun..." He says to the sky, with a grin.

Ra's eyes widen as Sett's legs start turning to dust. "Impossible. IMPOSSIBLE!" He stands up angrily. "SETT! This was NOT what I brought you here for!" He angrily yells as Sett goes completely limp.

"I'll try to… not let it happen again, lord Ra…" he mutters before completely disappearing, Sobek tensing up as he looks over at Osiris who looks to be quite shaken, turning to walk away.

Heimdall floats back in as the audience also are put back in their spots. "THERE IT IIIIIIIIS! The fourth round is concluded! The winners are humanity! TYING THE SCORE BACK UP 2-2 is LUDWIIIIIG VAN BEETHOOOOVEEEEEEEENNNNN!" He screams out, causing humanity to wildly scream in excitement, jumping for joy.

Beethoven, hearing none of the cheers, merely sits back and takes a deep breath, staring blankly at the sky. "..."

Sett vs Ludwig van Beethoven

Match length: 12 minutes 39 seconds

Deciding move: Final Verse: Coda

Victor: Ludwig van Beethoven

Beethoven looks down at the spot where Sett's dust blows away in the wind, as Pandora comes running down along with Icarus down the stairs between the rows of spectators. "BEEEEETHOVEEEEEEN!" She screams as she jumps off the edge into the arena, landing quite easily and rushing up to him. "You did it! You did it I'm so…" She sniffles a bit. "I'm so happy. Come on! Let's get you healed up!" She yells pointing and gesturing knowing he can't hear anything. However, Beethoven shakes his head with a weak smile, pointing to the bandages of Sett's still lying around in the arena. "Huh? What're you… what do you want to do then!? The fight is over!"

Over in Babel, Giza looks at the screen seeing Sett disappearing. "Thank goodness… I mean. I want the gods to win. B-but the world's better off without Sett in it," She says before suddenly feeling a strange aura overcome her as she looks up at Thoth. She felt that she... almost just died...

"Giza..." Thoth starts glaring down at her before he takes a moment to compose himself, a deeeep breath, and a swift exhale. "Giza. Come," He says staring at the screen, before spinning on his heel and the bookshelf they're standing on floats down through Babel. Far far down. To the very bottom. There's a single large door with a metal grate in front but Thoth ignores the door in favor of a table in the middle of the ground floor. "Since you do not know what you're talking about, I will enlighten you," He slams his book shut and inserts it into a slot on the table, causing it to light up revealing the middle is full of rainbow-colored sand, which begins to move and form into recognizable shapes even getting colors.

Giza gulping. "E-enlighten me on… what? Exactly? I-is it… bad to be happy that… Sett is gone?"

Thoth sighs and pans around the sand a little. "Giza. Sett was not like this always. Let me tell you a story. From long ago. A story…" Thoth starts as Beethoven begins to play on his piano, the pain guiding him through his melody. "About Sett…"
