Arriving onstage, the Colzen trio was shocked.
Blue lights shot at them, looking as if it was trying to eliminate them, the intruders.

Ever present as they were in the championship stages, this was their first time encountering such an advanced technology so their astonishment was understandable.

The crowd waited with bated breaths as the representatives' expressions turned into one of intense focus and competitiveness.
