(City of Inkopolis - Arowana Mall)

From the spectator stands Ruby could see that Blue Team were going up against Yellow-Green Team, whose leader just so happened to be non other than Rider himself. The S+ Turf War player they had encountered earlier.

If all the things Ruby had heard about Rider were true, then it seemed that this was about to be a very one sided fight. Even though the match hadn't even started yet, she felt as though her new friends were already in huge trouble.

But even so, Ruby held onto hope in her heart that despite the odds stacked against them, Blue Team would somehow come out on top. In that moment, Ruby recalled the many fairytale stories her mother and sister would read to her before bed. Stories of brave underdog heroes saving the day from the clutches of evil villains.

Those stories and various other influences were what largely inspired Ruby to become a Huntress. A hero who'd risk their life in order to protect all those who could not protect themselves. A beacon of light for the mases to gather around during dark times and a symbol of peace across all the lands and seas.

With that warm memory in mind, Ruby decided that she'd do her absolute best to support her friends. Even though she couldn't actually do very much from the side-lines, Ruby was confident her heartfelt cheering would be more than sufficient to help motivate her friends.

Refocusing her attention back to the playing field, her friends appeared to be in a silent stand-off with their opponents, she could see Specs and Headphones were visibly terrified but by contrast Goggles and Bobble Hat were smiling happily as though everything were fine.

Directly opposite from them, Rider and his teammates all looked serious and determined to win no matter what. Rider in particular appeared more so irritated than anything else, most likely due to Goggles earlier shenanigans.

Then she watched as Rider opened his mouth to speak, and fortunately for her the large T.V's broadcasting the match in the spectators zone could also somehow pick up audio from the players.

Rider: "So, It's you losers from earlier... I'll crush you all."

Specs and Headphones appeared even more terrified than they already were. Which from what Ruby could see via the T.V Screen, prompted Goggles and Bobble Hat to start laughing at them for some reason.

Goggles: "Hahaha! You're faces look so ridiculous!"

Specs & Headphones: "It's your fault you know!!"
