"Dear players, don't worry and go all out!,

Let the house clash begin!" the crowd inside the arena roared with exhilaration as their voices echoed off the walls.

The atmosphere was electric, filled with anticipation and enthusiasm as each team prepared for the competition ahead.

One by one, the players felt a surge of energy as they were transported to the island, a breathtaking arena surrounded by shimmering waters and vibrant landscapes. The island promised challenges and adventures, and the excitement only grew as the journey to victory awaited them.

"Oh! Wow, that's incredibly fast! We already have a three-person team from House Spades stepping up to the challenge! That was impressively quick, folks," Vins exclaimed, her voice booming with excitement as she observed the unfolding drama.

The sound of cheers and shouts reverberated throughout the vast interior of the dome, creating an electric atmosphere. Raven leaned against the railing, a sly smile creeping across his face as he took in the scene before him, clearly amused by the action.

"Incredible, isn't it? Just look at George, Juvia, and Jay as they take on Freya from House Diamond," Karl remarked, his tone a mix of admiration and concern.

"This is shaping up to be a fierce battle for her."

"Freya of House Diamond : Eliminated"

There was a brief moment of silence as Freya was suddenly cut in two, not by a member of Spades, but by a Battle Anitas that appeared unexpectedly. She had just dodged an attack from George and Juvia when another Anitas emerged from behind her.

The silence shattered as a scream erupted from the crowd, captivated by the new scene flashing on the screen.

"And there you go! Another three-member team but this time, from House Hearts battling two members of House Diamond!" Vins shouted with excitement.

Napuno lalo nang sigawan ang dome, samantala ang housemaster naman ng Diamond na si Suzane ay hindi maitimpla ang mukha ganoon din ang kapitan nilang si Allen at tiningan ang kapwa kapitan na nginitian lamang siya

Sa ginagawa ng mga kalahok nila sa palaro ay ipinaparating ng ibang house na pinatagtutulungan sila.

"Ceejay of House Diamond: Eliminated"

"Rose of House Diamond: Eliminated"

"Paul Guevara of Diamond take down three man team of Clover: Miya, Jenny and Snow of House Clover" anunsyo naman ni Karl nabuhayan naman ng loob ang mga Diamond

"Miya of House Clover: Eliminated"

"Jenny of House Clover: Eliminated"

"Snow of House Clover: Eliminated"

"And we have another three-person team from Spades fighting against the three-person team from Diamonds," Vins commented.

The teams consist of Analiza, Nico, and Ashley on one side, facing off against Samantha, Patricia, and Kacee, who is currently taking on Paul's appearance.

As Analiza rises from the ground, the weather shifts dramatically. Strong gusts of wind begin to blow.

Before Kacee can attack Analiza, a massive hand made of black sand forms and immobilizes him.

Samantha quickly creates a barrier, while Patricia summons three skeletal beasts. However, Ashley counters this move by summoning a swarm of insects.

When the insects make contact with the skeletal bodies, they explode automatically.

Before they could counter an attack a strong lightning strike down already at them.

"Samantha of House Diamond: Eliminated"

"Patricia of House Diamond : Eliminated"

"Kacee of House Diamond: Eliminated"

Sigawan naman ang mga nasa House of Spades.

Kung napaka ingay ng tatlong House, napaka tahimik naman sa pwesto ng House of Diamond. Tila nagpipigil nang galit ang kanilang housemaster dahil malakas ang pakiramdam niya na napagkaisahan sila .

It felt as though the three houses were bullying them. However, that contradicted Allen's feelings right now.

Naisip tuloy niya na ganoon pala ang pakiramdam nang ginagawa nila sa ibang House dati lalo na sa Spades.

Meanwhile, on the island, Analiza's team quickly hid and fled from their location, separating into three different directions.

They understood that the moment Analiza used her ability, it would attract attention. Her ability was like a double-edged sword: while it could reveal their location to their opponents, it could also alert their allies, including the sneaky Anitas.

Raven and the rest of the team had already discussed this during their training, noting that among the three-man teams, Analiza's group was the easiest to notice.

They also agreed to leave no traces behind, except for one deliberate mark indicating where the other members had passed. Analiza took on the role of bait.

Help could still be provided to her if she ever finds herself in a dead-end situation, as they can easily track her down due to her ability.

Everyone agreed that once they observed Analiza's ability, they should approach her location while maintaining a distance of at least 75 meters.

This serves as a cue for all members of Spades, since they have witnessed Analiza's ability and realize she might be facing off against some Diamond members or Anitas.

Meanwhile, Ivy let Silver and Ruby go ahead to Analiza's location, and the other two didn't ask questions; they simply followed her.

"Come out!" Ivy called after her two comrades had left.

"Make me," came the reply, accompanied by a small, teasing laugh.

"Really? Shaira David! You want to play hide and seek?" Ivy responded flatly.

"Ah, I see now. Your ability suits you well: invisibility. It keeps everyone from seeing your ugly face," Ivy mocked, and it worked, as Shaira appeared immediately.

"Gotcha! Loser!" Ivy teased and punched her in the face.

"Ouch, bitch!" Shaira shouted back and immediately disappeared.

"Haha, go on. Make yourself invisible Shaira. We both know na hindi mo pa gamay 'yan. Limited time lang ang pagiging invisible mo. Isa pa, it has time interval right?" saad ni Ivy na ikinagulat ni Shaira

"How did yo-" hindi na natapos ni shaira ang sasabihin ng putulin ito ni Ivy.

"Surprise? May pakpak ang balita may tenga ang lupa" saad nito at sinugod si Shaira nilabas naman ni Shaira ang punyal at inatake din si ivy

Shaira duck and stab Ivy's leg causing her to have a big long deep wounds.

"Loser ka pala eh" asar ni Shaira dito

"No sissy. it's strategy bye bye loser!" sagot naman ni ivy. Nagulat si Shaira sapagkat ang katawan ni Ivy ay unti unting nawawala at nagiging mga pira parasong papel.

"at least you saw it with your own eyes, how special my clan is" Ivy said and smile sweetly at her.

Nakita pa nito na tinuro ni Ivy ang kanyang kinakatayuan at duon niya napansin ang mga papel na inaapakan niya. Huli na ang lahat ng mapansin niyang sasabog ang mga iyon.


BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

"Shaira David of House Diamond: Eliminated"

The dome was filled with screams as the audience witnessed the intense fight between Ivy and Shaira. They were also surprised by Ivy's abilities.

Raven, on the other hand, was proud of her cousin, much like a stage mom cheering from the sidelines.

"Ha! Watch my team as they claim that crown!" Raven thought, glancing at Allen, who was staring back at him. He smiled sweetly at Allen before turning his attention back to the screen.
