On Fury Road, Lookout Warboy uses a spyglass and tells Ace Warboy that he's spotted Mortifiers. Ace Warboy tells Jack who says that the Mortifiers have gone rogue. Ace Warboy tells Lookout Warboy contact front and Lookout Warboy spreads the message along the ranks. The War Rig is almost immediately attacked from the rear and the War Rig is quickly surrounded. Two sets of Mortiflyers paraglide and kill or wound all the War Boys riding the tanker of the War Rig. The War Boys escorting the War Rig manage to eliminate one set of paragliding Mortiflyers while Witness Warboy and Lookout Warboy sacrifice themselves in order to eliminate the other set of paragliding Mortiflyers. The line feeding one of the War Rig's engines gets cut and Black Thumb goes to repair it. The War Rig's ranks are replenished from a convoy vehicle and a new set of Mortiflyers start their attack this time using paramotors. The paramotor Mortiflyers start whittling down the War Boys and when a paramotor Mortiflyer throws a gas grenade at Ace Warboy, the explosion also injures Black Thumb, causing him to slide under the truck. Pissboy is covered in flames by a gas grenade and pours his piss bottle on himself to try and put out the flames. Mortiflyer Bomb Setter rides next to the War Rig and places dynamite on the bottom of the War Rig and then lights its fuse.

As Mortiflyer Bomb Setter is trying to grab Furiosa, she kicks him away and Pissboy uses the crane claw to destroy the sidehack motorcycle the Mortiflyer Bomb Setter was riding in. War Pup asks Bommyknocker Warboy if he should turn on the Bommyknocker, but Bommyknocker Warboy tells him not yet. Furiosa repairs the hose, but a radiator cover is dislodged by the dead body of a Mortiflyer. Pissboy grabs the lit dynamite from Furiosa and sacrifices himself to kill a group of Mortiflyers. The Mortiflyers manage to kill all the remaining War Boys except War Pup. Furiosa manages to replace the radiator cover but also reveals herself to Jack. The War Rig is attacked by Mortiflyers using a hand glider rigged with a flame thrower, but Furiosa uses the crane claw to destroy it. The Octoboss using a paramotor attacks the War Rig, but Furiosa fires a harpoon which impales The Octoboss in the leg. Furiosa tells War Pup to turn on the Bommyknocker and The Octoboss shoots and kills War Pup, but is in turn shredded by the bommyknocker. Furiosa pulls a gun on Jack and orders him to pull over, but he manages to throw her out of the War Rig. He starts to drive away, but then stops. He makes an offer to Furiosa that if she joins his crew, he will train her in how to survive road warfare and if she survives, she can eventually go on her way.
