Trims start so you don't see VR Ryan leaving Kaitlin's car; cuts follow-up close-ups of Skullbot and Dr Morgan.

Skullbot, with Dr Morgan his captive, holds a briefcase forth, then lowers it as VR Ryan speaks.

Skullbot releases Dr Morgan and slashes him in the chest, causing him to fall down.

VR Ryan reacts, speaking, as Skullbot stands there with the briefcase in hand. VR Ryan talks, then rushes forth, only for Skullbot to over him. VR Ryan throws a kick, so Skullbot leaps up and hangs on the edge of a catwalk by his blade arm. VR Ryan reacts upward, as Skullbot holds the briefcase to the side.

Shot 9 cuts before Skullbot raises the briefcase; cuts follow-ups of Dr Morgan grabs VR Ryan's ankles.

VR Ryan shifts anxiously, as Skullbot talks down to him with his blade arm raised. Skullbot's boot knives pop out, before he leaps over the side of the catwalk. Sharp zoom ins on VR Ryan as Skullbot tries to slash him with his boot knives, to no avail. Skullbot lands, so VR Ryan engages with him, ducking under his slash, then grabbing his blade arm and kicking him before punching him three times in the face, sending him flying off and teleporting away. VR Ryan reacts, then lowers his guard, looks down, and picks up the briefcase. He turns, walks over to Dr Morgan, and begins to turn his lifeless body over.

A device lowers from the ceiling, and stops just above Skullbot's exposed robot husk lying on a table before Grimlord on his throne and Zelton overseeing the operation. Grimlord points.

Zelton goes over to Skullbot on the table, holding a small sphere in his hand. He places it in his chest, then the device's welding torch thing lowers down and begins to zap a laser into the sphere and the cavity surrounding it, until Skullbot's head glows with yellow energy.

VR JB poses with his saber, as axe-wielding Skugs rush at him. He slashes at them as they dive past him. Next, the Skugs whip off their golden capes and cover VR JB in them as they glow golden, prompting the Skugs to approach and place their axes against his legs. VR JB breaks free and slices his way out of their capes, then dives out of their reach for a moment, then leaps back in and slashes his way past a few Skugs.

VR Ryan continues glancing about, when he suddenly turns and sees something. Skullbot leaps up and dives in, slashing at VR Ryan with his blade arm, but he ducks, then blocks his next slash, though getting his left shoulder sparkily slashed. Skullbot's blade arm is lodged firmly in VR Ryan's right shoulder, so the pair struggle with one another.

Skullbot keeps struggling with VR Ryan, clenching his right hand into a fist.

Shortened; cuts more follow-ups of the pair talking and struggling with each other.

VR Ryan smokes and agonizes, as the pair stagger to the side, remaining locked blade arm to right shoulder. Skullbot talks, VR Ryan responds, as Skullbot begins to raise up a dagger in his right hand, which he then uses to sparkily strike VR Ryan, though his second and third slashes at blocked.

Shot 3 is shortened; cuts final shot before Skullbot stabs VR Ryan with dagger; cuts follow-ups of more shots of the impaled dagger being dug in there.

VR Ryan leaps up, taking Skullbot with him, as they land in a field, switching positions, until VR Ryan kicks the dagger out of his hand, then uses the blade arm to flip Skullbot over, only for turnabout to occur when he next flips him over. Skullbot hoists him back up, VR Ryan then grips his blade arm with both hands.

Cuts final shot before the pair push each other back a few steps.
