Tim Swhales was worried.
The ants were in disarray; he barely had any control over his own mount.
And there was an enraged angel flying straight at him, very fast.
An enraged angel who, by the looks of things, was getting ready to blast him with magic.
In desperation, Tim jumped to another ant, just as Sirius unleashed the Angel Sphere and blasted the one he had been sitting on moments ago. Its exoskeleton exploded rather spectacularly.
DAMMIT! Not Gertrude! She was my favorite! You'd better make him pay for that one!
Wonderful. His new deity wanted him to take revenge for a giant flying ant.
Sirius, meanwhile, had adjusted his trajectory and seemed to be readying another sphere. And Gertrude's demise had panicked the other ants, rendering Swhales in even less of a position to calm the swarm.
So instead, he continued jumping from ant to ant, as Sirius vaporized his makeshift platforms and drew ever closer.
Good. Swhales wanted to get close. Well, not really, but it was the best plan he could think of.
He withdrew his dirk from its strap, and prepared his throw as carefully as he could while jumping around and trying not to get blasted by holy energy or stray ant heads.
Then he said a quick prayer to his new deity, flung the dagger at Sirius' back, and hoped for the best.
THIS IS FOR GERTRUDE!
A black glow enveloped the dagger, and it flew with inhuman precision, striking Sirius in the right wing. He screamed for a moment, and his flight slowed down; but, he did not stop. He flew towards his attacker, still jumping around on the increasingly-panicked ants.
And just as he was about to close in, Swhales jumped on his back, sword in hand.
The angel hadn't expected that; the impact from Swhales' landing knocked him lower. However, he regained his bearings soon enough to utter one crucial word before Swhales was ready to strike.
"Ignition!"

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
