6	The battle continues between MD-5 and the elite squad - who turns out is led by Belle, who is also at the tournament after Lucks has somehow discovered MD-5's plans. Can MD-5 fight off Belle and her goons and make it to the top of the mountain to execute the Deep Mountain Clip?

8	!!Episode 9 contains examples of:
9	* BoomHeadshot: Both Theo and Tari land one of these with the Finger Guns spell.
10	* CliffHanger: The episode ends with Tari being the only member of the party left, and Belle ignoring Lucks' orders in order to discuss some things with an incapacitated Tari.
11	--> '''Belle:''' No one left to save you now... Let's talk.
12	* DwindlingParty: As the episode continues, Theo, Lamar, and Masa are each eliminated one by one, with Tari being the only one remaining once Belle had defeated Masa.
13	* HeroicRROD: Masa, while defending an incapacitated Tari from Belle, ends up overloading his Meta Runner arm before Belle overpowers him, being eliminated right after.
14	* HeroicSacrifice: A non-death variant, as Theo ends up TakingTheBullet for Tari to defend her, though he ends up re-appearing back in the real world. Masa also ends up sacrificing himself to defend Tari, seen above under HeroicRROD.
15	* InternalReveal: The elite group's leader is revealed to be Belle before she reveals herself to MD-5 on top of the mountain.
16	* OhCrap: Lamar has this reaction when he realizes TAS Corp knows MD-5 is in the arena once Belle reveals herself to them.
17	* PreMortemOneLiner: Tari delivers one to an opponent on Theo's behalf prior to [[BoomHeadshot eliminating them]].
18	--> '''Tari:''' [[BorrowedCatchphrase Crackerjack.]]
19	* TheReveal: Masa used to be one of Lucks’ Meta Runners and the TAS Corp team captain, and was decommissioned after a previous attempt to hack into Lucks’ private servers after suspecting his involvement in the apparent death of Lucinia.
20	* ShadowDiscretionShot: When Theo and Tari land a BoomHeadshot kill with the Finger Gun spell, it's shown in white silhouettes with a black background.
21	* WhamLine: More like Wham Conversation, revealing Masa used to be a part of TAS Corp, and used to be in kahoots with Belle as well prior to being decommissioned.
22	--> '''Belle:''' You don't get to tell me what to do anymore, Masa. You're not TAS Corp team captain anymore!\
23	'''Tari:''' Wait, what?\
24	'''Belle:''' Oh, you didn't tell her? Why, too ashamed of being decommissioned? \
25	'''Masa:''' Ashamed? No. I stand by my choice. I just wish you did the same for me...!\
