Having turns to Jamil, Floyd says with an evil grin, "Now it's time for the good part—you, Sea Snake."

"What?!" Jamil exclaims.

And soon enough, in the woods behind the campus, Floyd is chasing Jamil. Floyd shoots beans at Jamil as he tries to run.

Jamil runs as fast as he can as he shouts, "How long is he going to keep chasing me?!"

And Floyd is not far behind, "Where ya goin', Sea Snake? Come out and plaaay! Ahahaha!" and laughs.

"Yeah, right. Who would ever oblige that slimy, slithering voice?" Jamil says in thought.

And soon, Floyd catches up with him, "Woop, I finally caught up!"

"How did you get right behind me—in my blind spot, no less?! Rgh, I can't dodge from here!" Jamil says.

Floyd fires and Jamil tries to dodge, but Jamil has been hit by the beans.

Out of breath, Jamil says, "Looks like...I've been beaned... And so I meet...my inglorious end,"huff, "I'm out."

And now, Jamil is out of the game too.

Jamil responds in his thoughts, "I hate to get eliminated after making it this far, but anything beats being endlessly hounded by Floyd.

"Ruh-roh. I'm all outta beans," Floyd replies.

"Well, well. How unfortunate for you. Farmers can't defeat monsters without beans.

And Beanfest is in its final stages. I've got no idea how many students are still in this... But I suggest you find a supply crate and restock before heading to the coliseum," Jamil says.

But exclaims, "What?!" as he dodges the attack.

"I don't need any stinkin' beans to play MY kinda game! Ahaha!" Floyd laughs as he spins the bean blasters.

This worries Jamil, "Wh-why are you swinging around two bean blasters like a pair of tonfa?!" And shouts, "Hey! That's a blatant violation of the rules! And shouldn't you be focused on getting the harp in the coliseum? You're a farmer! Why are you still coming after me after eliminating me?!"

Floyd laughs, "Ha-HA! See, the thing is... I never cared about the stupid golden harp from the jump. Doesn't matter to me which side wins. So how's about we throw the rules out the window and just play until both of us are totally wrecked?"

And with that Jamil begins running, "Rgh... I question which one of us is the real monster here."

"Run, monster, run!" Floyd shouts and laughs, "Gyah ha ha haaah!"

Suddenly, someone shouts, "Jamil, get down!"

Jamil does just that and something makes its way to Floyd.

Floyd quickly dodges the attack, "Whoa, that was close. That net almost got me."

And soon, Azul makes an appearance, "Floyd, you know physical violence is against the game's rules."

"Azul! This is your goon. Do something about him!" Jamil cries out.

"Haven't we been through this before, Jamil? The Leech brothers do not work for or answer to me. When Floyd isn't in the mood to listen, he won't. Period. Full stop. End of story," Azul reminds him.

"Wh..." Jamil responds, shocked.

"I'm afraid we'll have to subdue him the hard way. Come on, now. On your feet!" Azul says.

This peeks Floyd's interest, "Ooh, you wanna play too, Azul? Sweet, I'm down! Ahaha!"

"I'm already eliminated! Just let me go to the gym!" Jamil says.

But Azul says, "Floyd is picking a fight with empty bean blasters. Hence, beans and the harp are no longer part of the equation at all. This is nothing but a ringside rumble!"

And with no other choice, Azul and Jamil have to fight Floyd.
