The scene shows a strange black void where Kiryu is walking as he searches around.

Kiryu's Thoughts: Everything's so dark... And cold... Where is everyone? Why am I all alone?

He soon stops when he steps on glass and looks down to see his reflection replaced with shattered versions of Oswald.

Kiryu's Thoughts: It's weird... Somehow, I feel like I don't know myself at all... (looks at his hands) Why do I desperately need to have freedom? Why do I want it so badly? And, if I'm not a human or even a machine, then... What am I?

*REALITY*

Back in the real world, Oswald and Erza take in their surroundings and found the whole area covered in frost and ice.

Oswald: Whoa! What happened to the island?

Erza: It must be from Kiryu. He froze the entire island from that attack. This kind of destruction and power... It makes sense that a Kaiju Skayer is capable of this.

Ice begins to break and they see Azuma getting up and Kiryu snapping out of his state of mind.

Azuma: You idiot! Your recklessness is ruining my perfect battle!

Kiryu doesn't answer immediately but then looks at him with dull and lifeless eyes.

Kiryu: Who said you could talk?

Without any hesitation, he blasts at Azuma, forcing the man to dodge and nearly lose his balance.

Azuma: I told Ultear that this thing was a mistake. A machine like this will never know freedom.

Oswald: He's not a machine! And what would you know about freedom?! You've never had people to protect, or lives you value! You steal, and kill, and toy with others just for amusement!

His aura then explodes and Oswald enters Super Kaiju Mode. It shocks everyone but Kiryu at the sight.

Azuma: That's impossible! I've destroyed the Tenrou Tree, along with your magic power. Where is this energy coming from?!

Kiryu: You fool. Though he may be a member of Fairy Tail, his magic doesn't come from Tenrou alone. It's linked to the very essence of mana itself. Which means in the end, you can never cut away our power. Unleashing combat power; 100%! SUPER KAIJU MODE!!!

His body becomes more robotic with cannons on his arms, metal dorsal fins on his back, and thruster-cannon jets on his back and shoulders.

Oswald SKM: Time to end this!

Kiryu SKM: Agreed!
