Warrior of Light could feel the Stop affecting him from the moment it was cast, and he tried in vain to struggle against the magic and continue his attack. This close to Garland, it was deadly to be left so vulnerable, but he could do nothing but wait for the attack to come.

The Wave from Garland caught him fully and sent him tumbling back, since the Stop kept him unable to brace himself against it. He hit the ground awkwardly, his armor doing little to protect him when he fell. His head slammed painfully against the ground, and he nearly blacked out. By the time he had cleared his head and was attempting to get to his feet again, Mikoto was casting Night, and he collapsed once again, asleep.
