"Push in, the front line's collapsing!"
"Hammer the enemy support, he's low!"
"Mo, heads up, watch for the traps!"
"Keep those spears back!"
"It's almost there!"
"Hold oooon..."
The enemy base seemed to collapse in slow motion, as the team stared in disbelieving shock, the words winner flashing on the screen. It... couldn't be over already, could it?
