While on high alert, Maxima moves upstairs, scanning his surroundings with great caution. The Bedroom? All clear. Bathroom? Safe. The Storage Room? Nothing suspicious. The Master Bedroom? Two individuals are detected. Approaching them cautiously, he realizes that an average-height figure is trying to get inside the master bathroom as the endangered party appears to be barricading themselves inside.

"STAY AWAY!" Octávia hollers giving her all to prevent the door from opening. Being the stronger one, her attacker manages to get in halfway. Scared for her life, she retaliates with a household object.

*SMACK*

Her enemy falters from a toilet plunger landing straight in his face. She allows her hands to let go and reach for the bathroom door. Hearing muffled complaints, Octávia takes one last look at her attacker before locking the door. Witnessing this, the determined fighter immediately grabs ahold of the plunger-faced foe.

"Not bad. That look suits you!" Maxima tosses his opponent backward to collide with various items within the spacious room. Before long, a set of footsteps are heard coming from the Master Bedroom's entry point. K' has caught up to join the scuffle. Turning his attention to him, the brawny brunet alerts, "Still in one piece, partner?"

"Yeah. Who's this fool?" The Beast of Prey refers to the assailant seen in front of them. Gathering himself from the throw, their enemy reveals to have a φ insignia branded on his collarbone. Enraged at this point, Phi takes drastic measures to allow the outcome to be in his favor. He brings out an incendiary weapon from his belongings, and then speaks in a foreign language:

"Στο όνομα του Θεού Ήλιου, κάψτε τους όλους ως θυσίες!"*

Flames spread wildly, spiraling out of control in the fighters' direction. This refrains K' and Maxima from attacking fleetingly. Even though the duo manages to keep the Master Bath's door from being set ablaze, embers scatter along the carpet and nearby objects. To make matters worse, another participant intervenes.

"Typical," Phi hears a disgruntled voice criticizing his most recent choice of behavior. "This is how a real professional does their job."

This belonged to his assigned partner who is seen wearing a geometric lion mask on their head. Looking at two male fighters as their new prey, the unidentified person is interested in joining the fight. Switching weapons, a portable spray gun attached to a small canister is now seen in the masked intruder's gloved hands. The fighters' enemy initially keeps a safe distance between them, almost as if he or she is analyzing their next move. At a moment's notice, the masked assailant reacts with great vigor.
