## Plot

Everyone is shocked, and Vintage is losing his cool. He does his X-Pose, and mutters to himself about the topic. Specs is confused, and Omega tells him that Vintage does it to keep his cool, while also doing it. Everyone is still confused, and Vintage finishes up his thinking and warns Goggles, saying that “He won’t mess with the X’s pants”. Goggles tells him that “Battles are more fun if you prank your friends”, and still confuses everybody. After a moment, they continue on the game and Team Blueperor fights X-Blood.

Double Egg and Red-Soled focus on Goggles, but with his training earlier he dodges both of them. But, Omega cuts in as Goggles is still falling from his dodges, about to splat him. Luckily, Emperor notices and grabs his jacket just in time as Omega fires on Goggles. Goggles, now back on his feet attacks Double Egg, Red-Soled, and Omega with Emperor supports him. But then… Vintage butts in… and splats both of them. Concerned, Headphones and Bobble-Hat come in to avenge but Omega flanks and counters them, splatting the Inklings in the process.

The team comes back, ready to fight, but only Goggles appears, getting on the tower. Red-Soled and Double Egg immediately come over to attack him. Shocking everyone, Goggles fiercely dodges both of them while still staying on the tower annoying both Double Egg and Red-Soled as their shots kept missing. The spectators, including Rider and Aloha are worried, as Goggles is on his own and he can’t fight them while dodging. Tired and annoyed, Vintage grabs Goggles’ attention once again as he reveals that the entire X-Blood team is now in their infamous X-Fall formation. They’re just about to attack when suddenly, Headphones, Bobble Hat, and Emperor comes in, revealing that they have their special gauges charged!

They all use their special weapons at once and chaos ensues and a mass barrage of blue ink rain down on the enemy team. Everyone is surprised, but either way X-Blood dodges the attack. But, their X-Fall formation has been disrupted and they have once again lost their chance! Goggles, still on the tower praises the team. Double Egg, angered, moves on over to attack Goggles and take over the tower. So Goggles calls on Emperor and they use their famous rapid attack moves. Goggles does his “Squid Lightning Jet Attack!” and Emperor does his “King’s Slide Dodge Attack!” moves on Double Egg. Since he can’t focus on one of them due to their rapid speed, Double Egg gets splatted. Team Blueperor has learnt from the previous X-Blood matches. Goggles, happy forgets the name he made for the move, and Specs and Rider are shocked on how he could forget his own name for the move!

At that moment Team Blueperor has passed Checkpoint 2! Vintage then viciously defeats Headphones and Bobble Hat who were on the tower, But Team Blueperor have managed to turned the tide of the match!

Double Egg goes to the center as Vintage also goes over to have a talk with him. As he surprises Red-Soled and Omega, Vintage gives Double Egg confidence and reminds him of their X-Rank pride. As they close the conversation, Goggles simultaneously pantses both Vintage and Double Egg which makes them enraged!!!

**CAN Team Blueperor keep their lead?!!**

**WILL X-Blood be stopped once and for all?!!**

**WILL VINTAGE AND DOUBLE EGG LIGHTEN THEIR MOODS?!**
