* Sola pulls Sarkoja into the arena with her, [[spoiler: and the White Ape tears Sarkoja in two.]]

* Woola throwing a [[SpannerInTheWorks spanner into]] [[TheChessmaster Matai Shang's]] [[SpannerInTheWorks works]], by ''crashing into him'' at super speed and destroying his control bracelet, allowing John to escape. DidntSeeThatComing, did you, Shang?
