When the free-for-all began, the mechs of Team Larkinson and Team Clive tacitly ignored each other.
This was not to say they had become friends all of a sudden. The overarching reason why the Twin Souls and the mechs designed by the Clives chose to combine forces was because there was a greater threat in the arena!
[The mechs are off to an explosive start!]
[Uh-oh. It appears that Team Reemus is in danger. This free-for-all has immediately turned into a 4-on-2 fight from the moment the match commenced. If this tentative cooperation holds, then the mechs designed by Mr. Eric Reemus and Mr. Yzard Holliston will be the first ones to get knocked out of the competition!]
