Showdown I

Days passed while the two Grail-War alliances played their cat-and-mouse game, but eventually, Ban Renald and Timothy Lee decided to set a plan in action. They couldn't run or hide, they couldn't buy enough time to make their preparations, so their only option is to face their enemy head-on...

"Alright, get yourself prepared..." Ban told the Rook while injecting another potion to recover his chakra after their latest teleportation. After emptying the vial, he took a bundle of explosive tags from his waist and attached them throughout the abandoned warehouse they are currently in, this was only one of many traps that will be quickly laid for their incoming guests.

The warehouse is located deep beneath the ocean surface, light could barely make it way this far down in the water. The reason they were able to breathe and move normally here is due to the expensive item native to Minecraft, which Ban purchased to make this secretive base in Dome City, sponges.....

If one was to leave a Minecraft sponge near water in Dome City, the liquid would be absorbed by the large Porifera. However, if you remove the sponge, the water would surge out of the item. Water physics still worked normally, the sponges functioned more as barriers, barriers that held back excess water from approaching at a certain distance.

Thus, Ban has hidden the two sponges near the warehouse to prevent water from approaching, which created a large air dome around his base.

....

Chastain, Rango, Ukyo, and Jack Sparrow were running on top of an expanse of ocean where no buildings were nearby. Surprisingly though, Jack's compass turned in the opposite direction, causing the group to huff in annoyance, and then turn around and run once again.

However, once they took a few steps, the compass once again turned around...

After a few tests, they understood that their enemies are no longer teleporting around, but are below them...

"....well leader, can your insects swim down to check things out?" asked Ukyo who gestured towards Chastain politely.

"No, my beetles cannot go too deep in the water....the pressure and water are too much, we're going to have to go blind unless we figure out something...." answered Chastain, who was thinking about the weaknesses of her Kidaichu Beetles.

The swarm of insects nearby surged, all flowing into the gourd strapped to Chastain's hip.....their job was done, for now.

Silence descended on the group before Rango suggested..."what about shadow clones?"

Chastain thought for while before nodding tentatively..." hmmm, I suppose that's fine....we need something to provide information and that seems to be the best option..."

Jack Sparrow chose this time to give his two senses on the matter...."if only we had a jar of dirt, we could let it sink to the bottom with your beetles inside, then when they open up the jar like any normal person would, just to see what's inside, BOOM! Beetle attack..."

Jack giggled to himself in sage-like thought while Rango and Ukyo looked at him like he was an idiot.... 'How can a jar sink to the bottom of the ocean with air inside of it? And didn't we already cover the beetle's efficacy in deep water?...' thought the two.

Chastain, however, had a light in her eyes as Jack's musings gave her sudden enlightenyment...
