Nova's Decision

After Rey had confronted and given Celia the information about Shade, they had proceeded to take the crowd of players inside the motel. However, around five players had left after deciding that they'd rather risk doing more stages than facing the ME Organization.

Due to this, only a total of 42 new players had come to join Team Freedom. Out of the 42 players, there were a total of six new teams which Celia divided into seven players each.

By this time, Celia and the others had explained the details of what had happened so far to the new players as well as their plans to take action against the ME Organization. She had even given them intel about Shade's situation.
