These hackers sure are desperate, thought Kris, challenging a superior opponent while on the verge of losing Brain Burst; even if they have numbers and can force unfair conditions, why not 4v1 then? Kris looked behind him and saw the Ice Avatar still futilely chasing him. And you'd think hackers would be smart enough to understand an in-game advantage, Kris continued, why not attack Deer instead?

Why indeed, am I facing novices, or is something fishy beneath all this? resolved Kris. He considered all the actions done by his opponents so far: the Yellow Avatar jamming him right from the start, a smart move yet almost too perceptive; the Ice Avatar attempting to attack with physical ice, having the opposite effect; hearing no audible reaction by the Yellow Avatar from being shot, though shock is reasonable, it shouldn't have recovered so quickly then; and now this.

Up ahead, Kris finally came across Deer/Lily's battle, and more specifically, coming up behind the Red Avatar firing away. To settle his suspicions once and for all, he propelled himself right next to it. Briefly slowing himself down, he tapped the Red Avatar on the shoulder, and said, "Yo."
