The phantom shrunk all of a sudden and turned into purple spikes on the armored rhino's back. With its size reduced, it got free of the hold of the Cyclops on it and fell to the ground. Then it began to escape.
The change thrilled Soverick. He took a while to balance the Cyclops before he began to reach for the escaping rhino. The rhino took advantage of its newfound freedom and decided to run away with its back turned to him. One of his arms has been destroyed by the phantom so he can only use the other arm that was previously holding the monster down to try and grab the rhino. That arm hadn't gone far when the spikes on the monster detached explosively from its back. The purple spikes shot at the Cyclops while the monster continued its escape.
