The next chapter opens with the announcement of the five remaining members of the team that will face Jasugun in the next round of the tournament. Alita's team is led by her brother, who has set up a brain-wave machine to revive her if she has another spasm. She is grateful to him for restoring her to health after the first spasm, but she does not like him for the second one. She says that she will do what she can to take over the tournament and that she is not interested in the chips that the other members of her team have brought with them. She tells him that the sport of motorball is a tool used by zalems to burn off their frustration and stress. She adds that she has fought many people and even grown up a little bit. He tells her that he trusts her words and that he will always be as she is. He says that he cannot believe that he is hearing her words from her mouth. He adds that he does not know what is going on.
