Kasumi! What are you doing here? I thought players were supposed to leave the arena once they get tagged out.

Yeah, I got tagged out. Thanks to their dirty, no-good methods! The three of them ganged up on me, the prettiest and strongest girl of this century!

K-Kasumi… I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.

Aww, it's fine… No big deal. There was no way anyone could've helped me in that situation. Plus, if they'd got you too, then only Ayumu would be left.

But onto more pressing matters! We gotta figure out a way to take out that Maki-Eli-Mari team, pronto!

Ma…kelimari? Are you bringing up calamari?

Don't play dumb with me now! Ayumu, Rubyko! You need to take revenge on the villains who wronged me!

Villains? So you want us to fight Mari and the others?

Exactly! That was humiliating! But I'm tagged out, so I have to get you two to avenge me.

There's also the fact that our team's doomed if we don't do something! I can't imagine those three will leave you guys alone now.

I hate being driven into a corner like this! I want us to completely dominate them until they cry and apologize for taking me out of the game!

I-I don't think we need to go that far.

Also, Mari and Eli have really good aim. I don't see any way for us to beat them…

Maki made that shot from really far away too, didn't she? She's really calm and careful.

Yes, yes, the three of them are incredible, but we don't need to let that psych us out now. Not this late in the game.

We can definitely win this as long as we all work together. No sweat!

Do you have any good ideas?

Of course I do! I thought up a devious way to make sure those three will get tagged out!

Rubyko will grab their attention first. While they're distracted, Ayumu will shoot from where she's hidden behind them! What do you think? Perfect, right?

We'll wipe out the Calamari, I mean, the Maki-Eli-Mari team all at once! Victory is assured for the Kasumin team!

That's a simpler plan than I expected…

Doesn't it seem a little sneaky?

Sneaky?! This is a battlefield! We have to do whatever it takes to win. And anyway, the three of them ganged up on me!

First, we'll aim for the one responsible for tagging me out!

Maki? Why are we going for such an intimidating enemy first… Though I guess they all are.

As soon as the game started Makiko sprang right out in front of Rubyko, remember? She didn't even try to hide.

That's right. She came right up to me and announced she'd found me. It was really scary…

Tch, I bet she looked really smug right then. Anyway, the odds are good that Makiko will show up in front of Rubyko just like she did then.

Which means we have a chance. I wonder if it will go as smoothly as that… And besides, I'm not sure about using Ruby as our decoy.

It'll be fine! You're a pretty accurate shot, Ayumu. And I know when it comes down to it, you'll do what needs to be done too, Rubyko!

Of all the members on the enemy team, Makiko has been paying the closest attention to our movements. It'll be a pain if she gets away, so let's finish this in one shot!

How do you know she's been watching us?

*Cackle* If my calculations are correct, it'll only take one more shot for Makiko—
