The Alpha roars at the Warmongers as he walks towards Tzar Bomba V2 and Blade of the People after having swatted away Freedom of Justice. The two look at their leader, whom gives a hand signal; both of them nod in agreement.

Both Warmongers charge forward; the Alpha increases his pace in response. He engages in a power struggle with the Russian giant whilst China's star pupil circles around; Tzar Bomba V2 is struggling to hold the Alpha in place, but she manages to keep him from pushing her back. She takes a brief glance to the side and sees her partner rushing from behind the Alpha.

Blade of the People jumps upwards, engaging her four drill-tipped cables in mid-air and firing them all at the back of the Alpha; they begin boring into his thick hide. The Alpha winces as his back is being bored into, causing him to stumble backwards a bit; the Russian giant takes advantage of this momentary opening. She begins to push harder, and is now steadily shoving the Alpha backwards. While this is going on, Blade of the People retracts her cables, quickly pulling her in.

All of this happens in mere seconds, but the Alpha catches on just in time. He tightens his grip on Tzar Bomba V2 and, just before Blade of the People has fully reeled herself in, swings the entirety of the Russian Warmonger to his side, slamming her into her teammate and sending them both flying; this also dislodges the drill-tipped cables.

Blade of the People does a mid-air backflip that allows her to land on her two feet, albeit with a thud. However, Tzar Bomba V2 isn't so lucky, as the force of the toss threw her straight on top of Freedom of Justice, just as he was getting back to his feet, crushing him underneath.

The Alpha roars to his opponents after successfully countering their strategy and lumbers forwards to the Chinese Warmonger.

She responds in kind, charging directly at him and revving her chainsaw arms as she speeds forwards. The Alpha is about to make a swipe with both of his arms, but Blade of the People blocks with her chainsaw arms, causing a flurry of sparks to fly out as the Warmonger's saw-teeth grind against the Alpha's arms.

Whilst the two are engaged in the struggle, Blade of the People's second set of arms move upwards and begin firing into the Alpha's armpits; several successive shots prompt him to pull back his arms; the recovering Alpha now presents an open opportunity. The Chinese Warmonger proceeds to slash at his chest several times, with each strike sending him backwards slightly, until finally, Blade of the People finishes off this combo with a spinning jump kick that nearly knocks over the Alpha.

He doubles over a bit, with his head hanging low, and Blade of the People prepares to send her chainsaw arm into his face. However, the Alpha suddenly turns his body to the side; the Warmonger's arm only grazes his dorsal plates. At the same time, the Alpha's movement brings his tail in from the side, sweeping out Blade of the People's legs.

Before she can get back up, the Alpha stomps down on the back of her head. Raising his foot once more, he intends to finish the job. That is, until he hears a thumping that's becoming increasingly louder. The Alpha turns around, but before he can react, Tzar Bomba V2 comes rushing forwards, tackling him with such immense force that he's sent tumbling to the ground; Tzar Bomba V2 looks down at her comrade and crouches down, reaching out to pick her up.

Unfortunately, she's cut just short. She quickly stands back up to see the Alpha on his feet again, his dorsal plates glowing a faint blue.

Without warning, he releases an intense stream of fiery blue plasma at the Russian giant. She steadily backs away as she's hit by the plasma stream, with the Alpha advancing to keep up the pressure. He's cut short, however, when Tzar Bomba V2 sends a powerful uppercut right into the bottom of the Alpha's jaw, sending his head upwards and breaking his plasma attack. She then proceeds to throw several more punches into his face, knocking his head to the side each time. After several punches, the Alpha staggers backwards; Tzar Bomba V2 pulls the Alpha into a one-armed headlock and is about to punch him some more.

However, the Alpha suddenly bites down on the Russian Warmonger's arm before her punch can connect; she tries to wrangle her arm free, but to no avail. The Alpha then grabs hold of the arm and, with one mighty tug, completely pulls it out of the socket; Tzar Bomba V2 recoils as she holds her arm's stump and collapses to the ground on her knees.

The Alpha looks down on her before kicking the Russian Warmonger with one of his elephantine feet, punting her onto her back. He roars in victory, as both Warmongers he has fought are now immobilized. He's about to finish them off, with his dorsal plates glowing a faint blue, but he unexpectedly stops.

Turning around, he looks back to see Freedom of Justice standing up again, but this time, instead of yellow light emanating from him, all of his lights are a blood-red color. In addition to this, there is a kind of red aura being emitted from his body.

Freedom of Justice then charges forwards at the Alpha.
