A soldier distracted Cycor, which gave Yonggary enough time to get up. Cycor attempted to crush the soldier with his arm, but Yonggary blew it up with a fireball. Tentacles grew from Cycor's wound and wrapped around Yonggary, then discharged an electrical surge, which made Yonggary fall down. Cycor shot a fireball at Yongarry, but the monster dodged it then fired back and blew up Cycor's head.
