The heroic final team is Robert, Cole, Kyle, Tori, Grace, Cale, Rose, Veld, Max, and Ashley.

Soldiers: "For a group of mainly children you're quite confident."

Max swings his scythe over his shoulder as Veld does the same with his hammer and Rose's teal energy.

Max: "Just shut the hell up."

Veld: "If fact, why are you all confident?"

Rose: "It's bizarre."

Grace, Cole, and Kyle take aim.

Kyle: "You're clearly outmatched."

Faith: "Has he been keeping quiet about the hundreds of you he sent our way?"

Cole: "Because that sounds about right."

Tori, Cale, and Ashley prepare to strike.

Ashley: "No sane person would want to pick a fight with us if they knew better."

Tori: "So we're going to take down your president so no one else has to die!"

Cale: "Th-That's our resolve!"

The soldiers open fire.

Soldiers: "We're done talking here."

Everyone does their best to defend and dodge.

Max: "(salty) Arrogant fucks..."

Robert is the one protecting himself from most bullets.

Robert: "We can't change that. All we can do is wait on Edo."

Faith: "Edo!"

Rose: "Guess that makes everyone-"

Max: "TWO KIDS GONNA DIE TONIGHT!!!!"

The night sky forms around Max and Grace.

Kyle: "(in pain) Someone's eager."

Veld: "Good luck."

The aura glows bright as Max's scythe grows hazy and a pink light flashes in Grace's eyes.

Max, Faith, and Grace: "Synergy Attack, Pyscho Break!"

Every single soldier around them drops their guns and grab their heads due to a splitting headache.

Grace: "Sorry, but you left us with no choice."

The soldiers' heads explode before they drop dead.

Max: "Felt so good."

No soldiers remain standing and the path is clear to their destination.

Ashley: "All in one."

Tori: "(in pain) Not a bad strategy."

Veld helps the bow users to their feet.

Rose: "Let's go see just what's next."

They all stumble their way to join the others, anticipating what's to come...
