By including the dynamics of gravity we are able to follow the evolution of collapsing cycles as they attempt to undergo a topology changing transition. Rather than achieving this singular geometry we find that one of two scenarios occur, depending on the initial conditions. Either a horizon forms, shielding a curvature singularity, or the cycle re-expands after an initial contraction phase. For the case where a horizon forms we identify the final state with a known analytic black-hole solution. We also show use our results to demonstate a novel compactification mechanism, owing to the asymptotic structure of this black-hole solution.
