Boom...
Ren's foot came down and crushed Baraggan Luisenbarn's spine, driving him straight into the ground!
The ground shook as though a meteor had struck. A shock wave tore through the buildings, kicking up dust and whipping it into a raging wind!
The wind swept the dust aside, revealing Ren in a frenzy!
