Armando closed his eyes. He wasn't even sure he could do what he was thinking, but he had no time to doubt. As if reading his mind, Quixote spoke softly. "You're a hero now, Don Rivera. And the hero always wins."

At the last second before impact, Armando pulled off an arm made of a naked singularity and affixed it to the handle of Quixote's lance, before veering the horse left.

The Moon Champion grabbed the impossible lance and thrust it into the dragon's heart with all his might.

The dragon exploded in a blinding supernova of light, because Armando hadn't taken any quantum physics classes.
