Meanwhile, the monster team...

Some of the Monster Group, including Jack, Tanzanite, Jasper, and Trinket, are at the coliseum stands firing at the target.

Jack says, "Got another one! You guys might as well pack it in right now."

"I got one too," Jasper says.

"Yikes! This dude is a MONSTER. He just keeps coming, no matter how far we run!" The farmer says.

"Does he have endless stamina?!" Another farmer questions.

The first farmer says, "As long as he's there, we're guaranteed to get hunted down the moment we set foot in the coliseum."

"Urgh. I think the monster team might take it this year." The second student says in defeat.

"Next field scan in five, four, three, two, one..." Azul says, and looks at the scanner. Scan complete. Monster team: seven players. Farmer team: same amount. We should probably expect an assault soon."

Suddenly, Rook's voice calls out, "Roi de l'Effort!"

"Only one person would call me that," Azul says and turns to see Roo rushing over, "Hello, Rook."

"Oui, it is I," Rook says, "I was just outplayed by your very own adjutant, Monsieur Prémédité."

"Really? By Jade?" Azul asks, shocked.

"Indeed. Trey fell to a single exquisitely-aimed shot on his part. I believe Jade is armed with a bean launcher— a long-range sniper model," Rook informs.

"So one of the seven remaining farmers is Jade, and he's got a bean launcher. Interesting." Azul says,.

Then says to Rook, "Rook, if you were in Jade's shoes, where would you position yourself to snipe targets in the coliseum?"

"Hmmm. If it were I..." Rook says.

Meanwhile...

Briar and the others arrive to the front of the coliseum, and have a plan.

"All right, everyone. I believe it's time to commence Operation Harp Homecoming," Jade says.

I believe in you, guys. You're the only one who can bag that monster," Cater says.

"Our very lives are riding on you," Jade says.

"Consider that monster bagged," Grim says.

"My heart's pounding out of my chest..." Briar says, feeling nervous.

"Mine too. I'm so nervous," Sereia says.

"This calls for a pre-final battle picture!" Cater says.

But Briar says, "Down Cater, resist the urge. Let's wait until after we're done with the game.

Cater sighs, "You're right. Let's just post a big group pic if we win!"

"I'd be happy to," Jade says.

"Here goes nothing, then. It's GO time!" Cater says.

Soon, arriving at the field... the last battle begins.

Jack spots them, "The farmer team's here!"

"You shall not pass. I stake my pride as le Chasseur d'Amour upon it," Rook says.

Then says, "Monsieur Magicam. Monsieur Peluche..."

But Tanzanite notices, "Hold on, where's Grim and the girls?"

"Oui, where are the Tricksters?" Rook questions.

"Tricksters?" Jasper questions.

But then Jack says, "Who cares? I'll just grab these guys right here!"

"Now to chug my own secret weapon, the fast-running potion... I've always been quick on my feet, but now it's in a literal sense! Get ready, 'cuz Cay-Cay's ready to MOVE," Cater says and charges in for the attack.
