"Alright things are going well, if we can keep this pace up we should be able to bring down Blaze's hit points even further" Saji muttered as he hid in the bushes
"We can do this" Momo hyped from the side
"I wouldn't be so sure of that" Blaze's voice called out from behind them
"Momo has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"When did you?" Saji shouted as he spun around with his gun ready to fire, only for no one to be there
"Did you forget how fast I am?" Blaze joked, her voice seeming to come from everywhere "just because I'm not a knight doesn't mean I'm not as fast as one"
"Momo has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"Sorry Saji-kun, I'm out" Momo stated as she disappeared
"Damn it show yourself" Saji roared as he pulled a line attached to his sacred gear, lines creating a net around him in order to protect himself as he kept hearing the trees and bushes rustle around him
"Unfortunately that's not going to work on me" Blaze's voice called out, all of the lines suddenly being shredded to pieces "I don't really use it but I do have Ascalon which would be sharp enough to cut through your lines even without it's dragon slayer trait, sorry but you're a bad matchup for facing me"
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"Damn it" Saji complained through gritted teeth as he burst out of the bushes and ran as fast as he could to try and get to an open area in hopes of being able to at least have a better chance at taking a shot at Blaze
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"Yeah I'm not letting you do that" Blaze stated as she suddenly appeared in front of Saji, knocking the gun out of his hand before pinning him to the ground "I don't know whether you're lucky or unlucky but there is a five second invulnerability between hits meaning that I couldn't just take you out all at once, I suppose it's so that the knights wouldn't just race into the others base and take everyone out and the whole competition basically being a case of who has the faster knight"
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"Although I might not have been able to stall you for long at least I was able to keep you here for a decent amount of time" Saji grinned "in the meantime I'm sure that Kaichou and the others will be able to deal with the rest if Rias's group, afterall, you're not the only one with a trump card on your team"
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"What do you mean by that?" Blaze asked
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
"You've been focusing to much on the people on the field and finding the guns, hoping for a head on fight, that's not what Sona is good at, she works better at planning and figuring out how to fight without having to face a powerful opponent head on" Saji smiled "the armor might not be able to be moved, but what about the queen's gun" he taunted
"Saji has been hit, 1 hit point lost"
Having dealt the last point of damage to Saji and watching him disappear Blaze went into deep thought, thinking carefully about his words before reaching a terrifying conclusion, every single move that Sona had made never mattered except for Tomoe's from the start
"Shit" Blaze complained "Koneko, is Meguri still heading towards Xenovia?" she shouted down the communicator
"No she seems to have changed course" Koneko responded "she is heading back to the base"
"Blaze what's wrong?" Rias asked through the communicator
"Everything that Sona has been doing from the start has been trying to keep us from going after her directly" Blaze told them "Having Saji and Momo go after me to keep me occupied with the one with the most hit points except for Tsubake and Sona herself with Momo to heal him up, keeping Koneko, Xenovia and Kiba all focused on the armor, it was all part of her plan right from the start, even having Momo join Saji instead of Kusaka was all carefully planned out"
"How come?" Rias asked again, her voice gaining more concern
"This is lazer tag" Blaze roared as she began sprinting towards the enemy base "and lazers can be reflected off of mirrors"
Understanding where Blaze was going with her words Rias instantly gave out orders "change of plans, Kiba, Xenovia, Koneko go straight for the armor and take out Kusaka and Yura as fast as possible, me and Akeno will head for Sona's base as well"
"Got it" they replied
"Koneko where is Meguri?" Blaze said as she pushed herself harder to get as close as she could to Sona's base as quick as possible
"She has just arrived at their base" Koneko informed her
"Shit" Blaze complained as mirrors made from Tsubaki's sacred gear and ice started appearing in the air across the field "everyone take cover" she shouted down the communicator as she threw herself to the ground, multiple lazers bouncing off of the mirrors as they ajusted their angles to either fire at her or in order to bounce between each other the whole field now changing from being lazer tag, to don't touch the lazers.
