Vol.2 Ch.89: 30F - Thorn (5)

30F - Thorn(5): As Novick and Horyang head towards the place where Viole is being held captive, Yuto informs them that they need to jump into one of the many present wells in order to reach him. Yuto tells them that the wells are a result of some experiments which were abandoned long ago, and they will allow them to get to Viole in a discreet fashion as the enemies (FUG and Mad Dog) are not aware of these wells. When questioned about why he/she is helping Viole, Yuto replies saying "You will find that out shortly." Yuto then tells them that he/she is going to distract the enemies who are guarding the entrance. When Horyang and Novick are reminded that they might lose their lives due to the fact that their enemies are extremely strong, they reply that they have both made up their minds to re-join their former teams. Yuto is reassured, and they head out.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Beta encounters Rak and Yeon. He asks them if they are Viole's friends. Typically, Rak replies that he is just his prey, while Yeon says that one of the members of the Ten Great Families would never be friends with a FUG. Hearing this, Beta tells Devil Bon to find his real comrades. Devil locates Wangnan and Quaetro, and reports their position to Beta. Meanwhile, Hatsu and Koon reprimand Rak for letting Beta go, as he was the one who tricked Viole. Rak then follows Beta.

In the jungle, Wangnan is arguing with Quaetro. While Wagnan and Quaetro are dong so, they are ambushed by one of the participants. Quaetro  decides to fight him. He tell Wangnan that he is not doing this for Viole, but because he has come to like Wangnan. When Koon hears this, he recognizes Wangnan's leadership qualities, and realizes that he has made a good decision in making Wagnan the vanguard.

While Beta is following Wangnan, he is ambushed by Vespa, who claims that she is the fastest regular in the tournament. Vespa comes to realize that Beta, too, hates Viole. She is about to suggest that they join forces, when she is reprimanded by Leesoo. She then tells Beta that he is her enemy. Since Vespa is the fastest regular in the tournament, Beta decides to test his speed. He uses a "partial ignition", by the name of Dionysus, and his speed leaves Vespa in shock. Just when he is about to finish her in one blow, Rak steps in the way and stops Beta's attack with his spear. Rak then tells them that they are Viole's friends. Beta puts the pieces together and realizes that they intend to summon Viole.

On the FUG side of the island,Horyang and Novick engage the guards in a fight.
