''Welcome to God Eden.''

Kibayama's face is contorted into an ugly smirk as Raimon tries to ignore their loud audience and focus on the supervisor instead. The man gestures to the arena around them, seeming utterly pleased by the jeering screams. ''You could say that everyone in this stadium is your enemy.''

The tension in the Raimon team rises at that statement, although they all do their best not to let it show.

Kibayama places his hands on his hips as he takes them in, obviously not fooled by their attempt at composure. ''Let me reiterate...'' he starts, if only to aggravate them even more, ''if you lose this match, you must consent to undertake education to become a Seed-''

''We're not going to change our minds!'' Tenma exclaims before he can stop himself, because only the idea of giving up before they've even started – and subjecting his team to whatever 'punishment' Fifth Sector decides on – makes his skin crawl.

Someone's hand curls around his wrist in a hold loose enough he could break free if he wanted to, squeezing gently, and it comforts him enough that he doesn't react when Kibayama chuckles maliciously. ''You do not have the freedom to change your minds,'' he repeats the brunet's words, now spoken with a mocking tone. ''And you won't be allowed to leave here unless you've won.''

His hand whips up, startling all of them, and he snaps his fingers before clenching his fist. ''Come out, my ultimate players!'' he throws out his arm and, with a deafening sound, a beam of golden light cuts through the arena. Instantly, on the other side another beam, this one purple in color, lights up in response.

They meet in mid-air and streaks downwards. Where it hits the ground, a bright, golden sphere lights up and Raimon has to brace themselves against the blinding force.

When the light dies down, a new team is revealed, dressed in white and black uniforms. Hakuryuu stands at the front, the green captain band displayed proudly around his arm.

Zero.

''What's going on here?'' Tsurugi demands through gritted teeth, eyes growing wide in alarm.

Alarm that is shared by the rest of Raimon. ''Something's different about that team from before!'' Hikaru explains, and the longer any of them look at their apparent opponents, the more wrong it seems.

From behind Hakuryuu, another figure steps up, and Tenma inhales sharply.

He was expecting this, yet it still hurts.

''Shuu...!''

Next to Tenma, Shindou's horrified expression twists with dread. ''It's not just him,'' he manages to say, the hand still holding Tenma's wrist tightening a little. ''Some of his teammates are in the mix too.''

''This is bad,'' Kariya says, uncharacteristically strained, no doubt thinking back on their match against Ancient Dark. Both teams they couldn't beat, now combined. ''Are they brainwashed?''
