Cinematic starts. Magni and the raid arrive at the Seat of the Pantheon.
Magni Bronzebeard: The seat of the Pantheon.
The Pantheon quickly manifests in their respective thrones and begin channeling energies into the world soul of Argus, hoping to sever his connection to Sargeras. However, the world soul turns red and lashes out, knocking the titans back and surging dangerously. In the distance, an ominous green cloud swirling over Azeroth pulses as a booming voice addresses the raid and the Pantheon.
Sargeras: That which you have stolen will be your undoing.
The world soul manifests as Argus the Unmaker.
Sargeras: Rise, Argus. Rise, my broken world.
Argus the Unmaker lets out a roar of fury matched only by its endless torment. A scythe born of celestial energies manifests in his hand.

Closing cinematic

With Argus fallen, Aman'Thul addresses the champions of Azeroth.
Aman'Thul: You have done well, mortals.
Eonar: It is time.
Aman'Thul: We must gather our strength. Return home, children of Azeroth.
As the Vindicaar teleports the others away, Velen turns to Illidan.
Prophet Velen: Illidan... we've done all we can.
Illidan Stormrage: Every choice, every sacrifice has led me to THIS moment.
Illidan stares at an empty throne in the Seat of the Pantheon - the throne of Sargeras.
Illidan Stormrage: To face HIM once again.
Prophet Velen: You... are not coming with us?
Illidan Stormrage: The hunter is nothing without the hunt. Did you not see this fate, Prophet?
Prophet Velen: Fate? Our survival was never in fate's hands.
Smiling knowingly, Illidan approaches the throne.
Prophet Velen: Light be with you, Illidan Stormrage.
As Velen is teleported away, the Vindicaar breaks off and travels back through the rift to Azeroth. The Pantheon seat themselves in their thrones and channel their powers into a great astral beam that passes the Vindicaar, breaking through to the dark cloud enveloping Azeroth.
Aman'Thul: Brother! Your crusade is over!
As Velen, Magni, and Khadgar watch aboard the Vindicaar, the infernal form of Sargeras himself is pulled from the dark cloud, roaring with rage. He glares bitterly at the energies threatening to pull him from his long-sought prize.
Sargeras: NO!
Summoning a massive sword, Sargeras stabs it through the atmosphere of Azeroth and deep into its surface before the pull of the Pantheon becomes too strong. As he is pulled away, Sargeras tries in vain to grab the fleeing Vindicaar, before he is teleported into his throne in the Seat of the Pantheon. Illidan stands before him, blades at the ready.
Illidan Stormrage: At last...
With a flash, the rift opened by the Inv 7ti titan sargeritekeystone [Sargerite Keystone] closes. Watching the blinking star that remains, Velen sighs and closes his eyes, relieved that the Burning Crusade is at last over. But down on the surface of Azeroth, the blade of Sargeras stands above the gaping wound it left in the sands of Silithus...
