Stroheim shoots Kars with the machine gun in his mechanical torso. Kars' Brilliant Bone Blade ability, a series of fast moving jagged blades on his arm, cuts through the bullets and Stroheim's body. Kars attempts to retrieve the Super Aja, but Stroheim fires a beam of ultraviolet light at him, sending the Super Aja sliding towards a cliff edge. Joseph and Kars chase after it and although Joseph grabs the stone, Kars pulls him off the cliff with him, wanting revenge for Esidisi's death. Knowing that Kars would not break the stone, Joseph uses the Super Aja as a shield and prevents his fall by chaining a series of icicles together which Caesar uses to pull him up to safety. Kars lands safely far below, before heading to his daytime hideout. The next day, Caesar heads to the abandoned hotel believed to be Kars' hideout by himself. Lisa Lisa orders Messina to follow him.
