"We're here." Ryuuga said as he walked out of the elevator. Looking at the left, all he saw was the hallway connecting to more hallways. Looking at the right, it was the same.

"It's a maze." Abbacchio said, looking at the map on the wall. "A very long one at that. It looks like one of those mazes where scientists placed rats into to see how much time they'd take in finding the exit."

"Only difference is that we don't win cheese when we find what we want." Joe sighed. "I should have brought a snack or something... I hope they have some vending machines in here."

"We came here to fight, not to compare ourselves to mice and cheese." Homura huffed, slamming her fists on top of Joe and Abbacchio's heads. "So what's our plan?" She asked, also looking at the map.

"In all honesty, it's all pretty mathematical." Ryuuga said, joining the trio in looking at the map.

"Math? Aight, I dip, see ya." Joe joked.

"Well, think about it. The Arcana has eleven members, three of which aren't fighting and one that we can't fight right away. That leaves us with seven fighters separated in two floors." Ryuuga explained.

"In another words, there's no way we can tell which floor has the lesser number of fighters, right?" Abbacchio asked.

"Pretty much." Ryuuga nodded. "If we were to assume, then it would be the fourth floor, since two of it's fighters are tag fighting."

"Or it could all be bullshit coming out of that kid's mouth." Homura grunted. "Let's be honest, no one here would be surprised if Mayuri was lying. He didn't exactly show proof of freely handing out info. Last time he gave us something to work with, we had to humiliate him at an airport."

"I'm sorry, which part of humiliate him at an airport are we talking about? The time he died to a big bird or the time he got thrown into a van?" Joe laughed.

"Stop trying to be funny." Homura replied, grinding Joe's head with her fist.

"Well, that's also true. But on the other hand, since only three fighting rooms are being used on the other floor, we can also assume it's the same for this one. If you want me to stretch things even more, with this being the higher floor, you can go and say that the big numbers are here, like The Empress, The Emperor or the Moon. Either way, it's safe to assume that at least one of us will most likely find an empty room with an elevator to Gin."

Abbacchio nodded. "I see. Well, there's no point in dwelling on doubt. Me and Joe will head to the left, you two head to the right."

"Right. Good luck, you two." Ryuuga replied.

"Same with you two. Let's get going, Waluigi. Know when you're getting into Smash?" Joe asked as he and Abbacchio started running down the left side of the hallway.
