Maxing Defense and the Eighth Event A preliminary event for the eighth event begins, with players required to defeat as many monsters as possible while also fending off other players. As Maple uses a trap to lure monsters towards her, the other Maple Tree members make use of their new companions to raise themselves in the rank. Sally watches a clash between Mii and Payne, which is interrupted when Maple comes through in the mouth of a giant alligator.
