THE STAGE'S SHINING their neutral colors again after the units finished performing their songs. The center screen above showed the main announcer from the beginning. Alkakurei were breathless, and speechless on their respective sides while the votes were being counted by artificial methods. The audience is stunned, looking at the announcer as he demanded a drum roll for the awaiting results.

You watched from the left wing, which is exactly where the host is carrying out his duties. Right at the background, a green screen is on display with the suited man standing in front of the camera.

"And the winners for the Remnants of Scintillations are...!" The announcer had a habit of rolling his R's. The crowd is already murmuring amongst each other, others had their phones up to record the moment, and the two units on each side of the grand stage glanced at each other in pure ambition.

"crazy:b leads the thriller team to victory!"

...

"YEAAHHHHH!!!" Rinne was probably the loudest person that night, probably jumped the highest in the air too. The screens of the other sides turned on to show Crazy:B's logo, and everybody was cheering for them at that point with confetti rained everywhere from the top of the stage. Alkaloid also celebrated on the other side, clapping as though it reached the opposing team while some fans yelled out Crazy:B's names with utmost triumph.

"WE WON?!" Niki gasped, his hands pumping up into the thrilling air. "WE WON!" It was like he was only directing that to his producer. The 'crazy:b!' chants in the audience are muffled at the swarming thoughts of how proud you are. For now, he'd have to wave and cheer with Dean and Sunniva, who both clapped and whistled at the back.

"We did it, Himeru-han!" Kohaku jumped on the stage. that night, he even accepted that it brought out his inner child in him as he allowed himself to be hyped on the stage in front of thousands of people. "Yes, we did, Kohaku!" Himeru chuckled, in a way he never had when standing on stage with his unit. This was a turning point for Crazy:b, now the world was going to witness this phenomenal milestone.

"Come on, guys!" Rinne threw his arms around Niki and Himeru. "Ya know what this calls for! Drinking until we pass out!...And apple juice for Kohaku-chan."

"I don't need apple juice!"

"But ya know what?...My little bro almost beat our asses!" Rinne lets go of Niki and Himeru when Alkaloid walks up to them. Hiiro bounces over, hands up and sparkles in his bright eyes. "It was a mighty battle, Nii-san!"
