The team is transported to their spawn point, a desolate island. They quickly decide to move fast and find a more suitable location to search for other teams.

Just as they’re about to leave, the island starts flooding, and they realize that the map continuously shrinks, forcing everyone toward the center as the water rises.

The team takes position at a vantage point, waiting for enemies until they spot a flare in the sky. It turns out to be a signal from other teams, indicating their intent to form an alliance against LLENN’s group.

As LLENN attempts to divert attention by sprinting through the train yard, a swarm of enemies surrounds her with suppressing fire.

She skillfully dodges the attacks, buying her team time to develop a counterattack and arrive at an abandoned freight train with the others.

Surrounded by multiple teams inside, Pitohui uses her photon sword to cut holes in the train, creating openings for LLENN and the others to fire at the opposing teams.

The plan, the same one Pitohui used in the second Squad Jam, works perfectly. With most of the enemy forces defeated, the team decides to move out as they notice the water closing in, further shrinking the map.
