And, at the end of the fight, no victory music, no kneeling Golbez. He's still good to go, albeit roughed up. And we're chasing him, but we're too late to stop Zeromus' awakening. Rest of the scene could play out fine.

Alternatively, just let us kill him- but it not be Golbez at all but one of his Voidsent just looking like Golbez. A bait and switch while Real Golbez is finalizing his summoning/awaking ritual.
Another alternative could have been to have use just fight the transformed Azdaja without Golbez. He could of sic'd her on us, knowing we'd weaken her enough for him to accomplish his plan. (⑅ ‘﹃’ )
I really hope they aren't going to try and wrap this story up before 7.0, it already feels like it's progressing too quickly for me. (●´ω｀●)ゞ
