## Chapter Guide

**X-Blood who have managed to defeat Prinz who has even greater potential than Emperor!! What does that mean for Team Gloves?!**

## Plot

Team Gloves are facing the superstrong X-Blood in the semifinal match of the Ranked Battle Cup. The spectators are worried about how Team Gloves are going to face X-Blood, but Goggles notices that Gloves seems fine and cheer Gloves on Goggles uses fake tentacles, but got too excited with the cheering and fell into the water surrounding the Manta Maria! Soon afterwards, Gloves falls in too!

The match begins with both teams heading for the Rainmaker in the middle of the stage. X-Blood reaches it first, with Red-Soled carrying it and Double Egg acting as her bodyguard. As they ascend to the goal, Gloves and Clip-ons stop them in their way and Red Soled fires a shot from the rainmaker forcing them to dodge with the dodge roll. Gloves and Clip-ons keep dodging Red-Soled's attacks as she advances closer to the goal. Team Gloves are desperate to stop X-Blood, but before they could do anything, Double Egg fights back with his dodge rolls. As he continues to dodge roll, Vintage calls him from a distance telling him to not get hit like in the first round (Round of 16) Unfortunately, Double Egg gets distracted and is hit by Gloves. Red Soled notices he got hit and is then defeated by Clip-ons. Team Gloves has stopped X-Blood's advance but X-Blood is right in front of their base!

Team Gloves begins their advance forwards and moves the rainmaker forward, Half-Rim uses his charger to create a path of ink and somehow the shot strikes Gloves!’ front tentacle off. Emperor assumed that his hair scraped the ground when he was doing the dodge roll! Team Gloves has made it to the centre but Army notices something weird; X-Blood is not trying to get the rainmaker back! Instead they get into their X-Fall formation surrounding Team Gloves and splatters them down with their notorious move: X-Fall. Team Gloves comes back only to get plundered with X-Fall again! but Gloves has managed to dodge X-Fall! Vintage has detected the move and then defeated him with X-Fall is yet to be beaten! Red-Soled jumps off the Manta Maria, into the sea with the rainmaker and it has returned to the centre of the stage. Vintage tells Team Gloves that his team doesn't need it anymore.

Team Gloves still hasn't given up yet but all of Gloves’ tentacles have fallen off his head! probably due to the dodge he did as he dodged X-Fall, Goggles is desperate to still Glove's tentacles back on, He throws in some substitutes including a leaf, ohagi dumpling and a roll of duct tape, X-Blood notices that Team Gloves hasn't attacked yet, and thought that they had given up! but Straps is charging with the rainmaker in hand, alone! Vintage doesn't care if she's alone, and before X-Blood could attack Straps with X-Fall, Gloves and Clip-Ons bombard them with Tenta Missiles, X-Blood dodges the attack, Half-Rim follows up with Sting Ray and X-Fall's formation has been disrupted!, Team Gloves is using this chance to advance the Rainmaker forward, Vintage thinks that disrupting X-Fall's formation was petty and Gloves believes the battle was about having fun. Vintage believes that it was impossible for Team Gloves to win!
