When Bryant's fist reacted with the ground, a gigantic crater was formed. Both Cross and Bryant fell inside the dirt hole, landing on their feet. Cross wiped remnants of blood and dirt from his face. He decided to change up his fighting style. He would now only use his legs. Bryant wiped the blood from his head and pulled out his other steel baton twirling it in his huge hand. Veins began popping out his arms, neck, and face. He began yelling. His shirt busted off his chest. His feet sank into the ground0. While Bryant was powering up, Cross decided to use the time to jump out of the giant crater to recover. He shoved his hand in his pocket and pulled out a candy bar that reminded him of a milky way back on Earth. He quickly devoured the candy bar regaining a surge of energy. Bryant jumped out of the giant crater landing on his feet. Shoes no longer supported his feet. His immense power caused his shirt and shoes to pop off his body. Cross instantly began firing metallic spikes at Bryant. As the metallic spikes reacted with Bryant's body, they shattered to pieces like glass. Bryant began snickering. He grabbed Cross by his throat, punching him in his stomach with a full-powered Crushing Blow Volume 1. Cross's intestines exploded. The Crushing Blow Volume 1 caused Cross's shirt to burst off his body. The Crushing Blow Volume 1 came through his back, causing Cross to vomit up a mouth full of blood.

Rider hopped to his feet, shoving his hand into Bryant's chest with his sharp fingernails. Bryant, grunted, driving his elbow into Cross's back. Cross sunk into the ground, quickly taking over his body. When Bryant was going to stomp on his head, he rolled out of the way and first a purple beam at Bryant's face surrounding his head with fire and smoke. Bryant collapsed on his knees as the fire subdued his head. Cross saw the opening and took it. He kicked Bryant in his face then kneeled him in crushing his lower jaw. Bryant crashed into a huddle of barrels. As Bryant stood on feet, he noticed some of the skin on his face was burnt off. Some of his locks were also burnt off. This made Bryant furious. He decided to activate Crushing Blow Volume 2.
