Rather than a defense program at all, maybe the final battle will be with Reinforce herself.
The Defense Program eventually takes over Reinforce, as before, as Hayate convinces Reinforce to stop fighting and let her take over. They release/recreate the Wolkenritter to help fight the Defense Program (which still looks like fights like Reinforce).
Eventually, they break the Defense Program enough to let Hayate out, at which point Reinforce stays inside her broken shell to keep it passive until everyone can land the final blow.
Hayate pleads, Reinforce refuses, and then she dies in a blaze of glory.
