VR Ryan rides along on his VR Nitrocycle in a field, when two sets of three Ultra-Skugs appear on a nearby hillside, two of each set armed with bazookas. VR Ryan is oblivious, until they start firing upon him, dirt bursting around him but failing to hit him even once. VR Ryan motions his left arm about, and fires lasers from his VR Nitrocycle, bursting the six Ultra-Skugs, then doing the same again with same results. VR Ryan glances about, and spots Charmador hobbling through the field by himself. So VR Ryan buckles down on his VR Nitrocycle and rides at Charmador, firing lasers at him. The bolts are reflected back, bursting around the VR Nitrocycle until VR Ryan is thrown off. |

He rolls to safety and recovers, then suddenly looks up to see Doommaster atop a nearby cliff with a gang of Ultra-Skugs. There's some dialogue exchanged between VR Ryan and Doommaster. Charmador hobbles forth quickly, so VR Ryan leaps at him and punches, only to get his arm grabbed and then thrown over. Charmador then picks up the downed VR Ryan, and pitches his whole body into the air. He quickly recovers, pulls out his VR Laser Saber, readying it. |
