Three-Way Struggle: Part 4 (
Summary[]
Tsezguerra and his team using Accompany cards to elude Genthru
As the Bombers arrive, Tsezguerra reminds his team to stick to the plan. Genthru is seen with his book open, and Tsezguerra opens his as well, quickly using "Accompany" to transport his team to Masadora. Genthru follows and uses an "Accompany" on Tsezguerra to chase them. They continue to run away from the Bombers, and after Tsezguerra runs out of "Accompany" cards, Barry uses one to transport the group to Soufrabi. In a forest, the group has seven "Accompany" cards left, and Rodriot says that the Bombers have stopped chasing them, wondering if they gave up. Tsezguerra replies that they changed the pace in order to keep them guessing.
Kess tells Rodriot to use "Return" once they run out of "Accompany" cards, and Rodriot adds that they will alternate between Aiai and Soufrabi. Tsezguerra contacts Goreinu and asks how things are going. Goreinu says that Sub and Bara are looking for him (Goreinu) at the spell card shop, with Genthru using two imposters like before. He guesses that the group was betting he would try to use the shop while the two groups were chasing each other. Tsezguerra tells them that they won't fall for the same trick again. The others are eager to make a stand against Genthru since he will be alone, but Tsezguerra remains confident in their plan. With Aiai in the distance, the group hears Genthru traveling to them and prepares to flee again.
Killua telling Gon it's time to focus on their main strategy
At the badlands, Gon continues struggling with the Emission exercise, aware that they only have five days left. Killua asks Biscuit if she can give Gon some advice, but she says that it's different for everyone, worried that she may give him preconceptions and confuse him even more. Killua approaches Gon and tells him to stop practicing since his time is up. Gon says that they still have five days, but Killua says that they have created a strategy to beat the Bombers. Gon tries to assure them that he's close to completing the exercise, but they know that he isn't and tell him that they can't use something they can't rely on. Biscuit holds up a card and says that they will use it, with Killua adding that Gon will practice every day to perfect it. The group then sits down together, and Killua explains the plan to Gon.
As Tsezguerra's team lands outside Masadora with their last "Accompany" and plans to use "Return," Genthru and the imposters land seconds later. They use their "Return" to travel back to Aiai, and Genthru says that with the group out of "Accompany" cards, they have reached the endgame. He rockets after them and contacts Sub and Bara to ask them if they got any more cards. Sub tells them that word has spread that the Bomber is hunting players around the shop, and so hardly anyone is showing up. He guesses that they already killed the person who was buying cards for Tsezguerra. Genthru says maybe and tells the two to meet him in Soufrabi, revealing that Tsezguerra's team is out of cards and luck.
Tsezguerra and his team returning to Battera's Castle
Tsezguerra tells his team that their last option is to use a "Leave" card and confront Genthru's team in the castle if they come after them. He adds that if they stop chasing them, they can just wait until the deadline. Kess and Barry agree to the plan, with the former saying that they should pick the three cards they want as prizes and the latter saying that they should ask Battera which ones he wants. The four hear Genthru approaching and all use "Leave" to exit the game. However, once inside the castle, they find that all the armed guards are gone. Tsezguerra beckons Sabazushi, who comes around a corner and says that he was sleeping. He tells the group that everyone left since Battera cancelled the contract, and while he already received his cancellation fee, he stayed behind to tell them what happened.
Tsezguerra is left speechless and heads for Battera's room, banging on the door and demanding to know why he called things off when they were so close to clearing the game. The multi-billionaire mutters that he doesn't care anymore, and Tsezguerra is left confused after all the years of work they put in as a group. Battera says that he will pay them through his lawyer and that they can do whatever they want with the three cards, finally telling them to leave him alone. As Tsezguerra and his team stand confused outside his room, they hear a scream down the hallway and Genthru is seen to have killed Sabazushi with Little Flower, saying that they can kill anyone they want since they won't lose their card data.
