So, capture the flag has started. Gladly for Red, they were given preparation time, otherwise there wouldn't be much for him to do. Being in the front line is useless, so he should provide a suggestion at least. He cut himself from the world, feeling his temples with his fingertips, this time going too deep into his Memory Hall. He needed all the information he had on both teams and their surroundings and come up with something decent. He first accessed the "Profiling" section of his memory Hall and dig out all the profiles he had made up to now.

[i]"Kristen: Control over pheromones, Deborah can find missing links in deductions, Jaska seems to be under the Super-system class, but I am uncertain, Ella has control over fire, Aislin has animation powers and Jake has his pseudo-illusions. That's what I know for my team. For the other team...Amanda is absorbing abilities and seems to have control over metal now, Tetsuya is a Panda-man, Christopher has control over magnetism, Henry is a bipedal lizard, Matthew is omnikinetic and Nikki has control over insects. The tower is a significant spot, so the team who has access to it gets a significant advantage. There are also many things scattered throughout the field, probably to help some people with their powers, or they are coincidentally there, although it is unlikely. However, the main point is to capture the flag. Now, what would be the best plan?"[/i]

Red then moved to an empty room in his mind. It was a room that entered only in special cases, where he could unfold all the info he had, analyse it and make his estimations. He processed every single piece of available data, reprocessed it as many times as needed and finally he came up with his decision. His first action was to go to Deborah. She was a senior student and her power should be known to others, so she would be great as the voice of reason in the team. Without delay, he rushed to her. Fortunately, they had been on "good" terms, although he wasn't sure how the incident with Chris could have affected that. But, right now, it was for mutual gain to co-operate and Deborah should be able to see that. He approached her and said:

"Deborah, I have come up with something...Although my information is limited, I think I have a basic plan that we can use and you can improve it! I think that our ace for getting the flag should be Jaska. His stature makes me believe that he can be as agile as needed and also be able to tace care of himself in a hand to hand fight. His support group should be Jake and Gabe, who are more familiar with each others powers and can probably make a great use of it. Meanwhile, to disrupt the other team, I think that our best bet should be Ella. Her fire manipulation should surely prove effective against Henry, who is a reptile, Nikki, who controls insects, Chris who is a living magnet and probably Amanda, who is currently controlling metal, by heating her up and the Panda-man. I can't think of many animals who like fire. Panda-man's other weakness should be his forehead. That's where most of the nerves are on bears, so I think the same should apply to pandas. Aislin's power should also prove effective with the things on the ground, since it can make them unusable to the enemy with her animation ability. But most importantly, I think that Jake should use his illusion abilities to change the appearance of the fighters of our group and mix them, so the enemy group should think that the one they see will use his power, while in reality he will use the power he really has. You should be the one to improve the plan and explain it to the team, if you find it good, though. I think that they will listen to you more eagerly than me."

Victoria was tired of waiting, but, now, the time for action has come. Her prayers were heard when she found out that she was on the same team as Henry. He wanted to fight side by side with him, not against him, although she wouldn't go easy on him if she had to. But the real good news were that Valjean was on the other team. Even though Sylvia proved to be the better fighter of the two, Valjean was still one of the toughest around, which gave him priority in Victoria's list of opponents during the game. Despite that, what he wanted to do right now was to get ahold of the promise that Henry made. He went to him, touched his shoulder from the front, so as to not startle him again and once again climbed on his back. Henry did say that she could stay on his back if they were on the same team, after all. Gently feeling his cheek, she said:

"You do know what I can do Croco. So, if you manage to take me close enough, I should be getting the flag with a single swap. Just promise me that you will not worry about me and trust that I can take care of myself. I take airborne attacks. You handle the ground! We are winning this thing, one way or another!"

Now that she was on Henry's back, she was by far the tallest person in the room. Looking at everyone else on the team now, she blatantly said:

"Don't hold me back, folks! I will get this flag for the team before you can blink, as long as you support me! Oh, Sylvia, next time, I hope I get to fight with you, mon amie!"
