And then the gates are broken... that shouldn't be possible, it shouldn't.
but it is.
Just outside the gates, he stops, casting back a massive wave of hellfire, driving the hordes back, at least momentarily as the sorcerous power of the Harkness line and his marks of damnation combine to power the burst.
Hearing the screams of hell behind him, he guns the engine, and heads for New Orleans.
