Rather than tackle the creature, Bruticus decided to use his rockets. His body shook as if it was hit from above as the large artillery (located on his back) fired up into the air. The shots were aimed to destroy the thing instantly, and he waited for the dust to settle from the large explosion that would ensue.

As each rocket strikes, Gaia's power enters it, the iron shell melting, the explosives being neutralized. However, as he aims to do the latter, he finds instead an unfamiliar energy, which proceeds to blow up. Half the golem is destroyed, sent to the ground under the barrage of rockets. The only reason it's still standing is because Gaia hardened the air around it to act as it's own 'overt sheild', but even that is becoming heavily damaged. Gaia uses the brief interval between the attack and the next strike to launch himself forward, the full weight of the stone construction smashing into Bruticus. Even diminished, the stone golem outweighs Bruticus, as Bruticus had been made to be as lightweight yet sturdy as possible.
