Royalty Rebel/NCT Gang OT22

C25: The 3rd Mission

As the frontline members headed towards the abandoned mall, they noticed rusling in the bush. They all got alarmed and in an instinct pulled out their guns. A cat popped out and scurried along.

"I can't believe you", Renjun said as he hit Jeno. "You were going to shoot an innocent cat"

"You were too!?"

"Shush", said Jaehyun. "There are two main entrances, one in the front and one in the back. Then there are three other entrances; Old Navy, H&M, and The Chinese Food Buffet. Everyone take an entrance"

They all nodded their heads and went to find Maggie. It was quiet, too quiet. Renjun had gone into the H&M entrance and saw nothing. He was walking out the inner entrance when something in his peripheral vision moved. He turned around and looked all around while pointing his gun. He looked over at the mannequins that were on display.

Wait wasn't there one mo-, his thoughts were cut off by somebody choke holding him. He dropped the gun as they started to squeeze tighter. Renjun had no other choice but to kick them in the shin. They screamed in pain as they loosened their grip. This made it easy for Renjun to elbow hit him in the face and uppercut him. They fell to the floor and Renjun picked up his gun.

"Junnie, something happened? I heard a scream", asked Jeno. Renjun pointed down and Jeno finally noticed. "Did you see any others?"

"No. They must be spread all around" They split up and resumed the search. Johnny was walking around when he noticed things being knocked over at the toy store. He cautiously walked over and spotted Xiaojun fighting somebody. He ran over to assist but was stopped with gunfire by another in a nearby boba shop. Johnny hid behind a trash can and started firing. He then ran towards them after hearing the gun run out of amo. He tackled him and used the cash register to beat them with. The person still had a fighting spirit though and kicked Johnny off of them. They used a metal container to hit Johnny with. However Johnny managed to get behind the counter and grab the blender to use the cord as a strangler. He then brought the person to the counter and plugged in the blender. Finally he stuck their hand inside and left them.

Meanwhile Xiaojun had been busy fighting in the toy store and so far he wasn't winning. He tried running to a different aisle but he was stopped by the bullet that hit his leg. Xiajun tried crawling his way out the aisle but soon got stuck in a dead end. He quickly crawled through one of the gaps. Soon Johnny arrived and helped Xiaojun up. Both of them together pushed down the shelf and knocked the person down. Johnny wasn't done though. He grabbed the person by the collar and with a very stern voice he asked,

"Where. Is. Maggie."

A beep could be heard from the guy's watch. "Code green. Code green. Mission Magnolia is complete. Get back to the headquarters" A laugh could be then heard from the person. "Haha. It looks like she just left. Better luck next time" Out of fury, Johnny hit them so hard that they were knocked unconscious and their nose started to bleed.

"Come on we have to tell the others", Xiaojun said. They met up with the others in the food court. Johnny was holding onto Xiaojun since he couldn't properly walk, Jeno was holding his stomach because he previously got hit multiple times in the stomach, Renjun had a nasty bruise on his face, and Jaehyun was covered with blood(except it wasn't his)

"They already took Maggie", Johnny said with a sigh.

"I heard that from the last person I killed", said Jaehyun. "Come on, we have to hurry back to the van." They ran off to the van but were in shock to see the van filled with bullet dents along with members pooling out with blood.
"Oh no what happened?!", asked Xiaojun.

"These cars started heading out and when they noticed us they started shooting", YangYang said, "and we had to fight back, the windows can take bullets but not as many as the ones that were being shot. They got away but we took one car down."

"Did you see who was all in it?"

"Just five men"

"Darn it"

"What's the problem?"

"They got Maggie", said Renjun.

"You have got to be kidding", said Jaemin sluggish.

"Ok we're taking you guys home now", said Jaehyun. "We'll call the members at the base and see what they want to do"

"Johnny-ah", said Yuta, "I can't drive in this state. Can you do it instead?"

"Sure" They were all in the van and Johnny started driving. Jeno and Jaehyun started healing some of the wounds for some of the members using the first aid kit. As Jaemin was getting his wounds healed, he got a call from Jisung.

"Jeno, can you answer that?"

"Sure thing" he answered it and put it on speaker. "Hey, you're on speaker"

"We have some news! We finally have the voice from the cd"

"Play it through then" The boys listened in, however none of them even knew who the voice was.

"Do you guys know who it is though?"Jaehyun asked.

"Sadly no", said Taeil.

"Wait, it sounds familiar", Hendery said. "It was on the news or something" He got out his phone and looked at what he recently viewed on YouTube. "Ah, here's the video" They watched the video of a guy making a speech.

"That does sound like him", YangYang said. "What's he even talking about?" Hendery read out the video title. "Eugine Stallard releasing the statements about the Stallard wedding"

"Stallard", Chenle said through the phone, "That's Maggie's dad!"

"Wait so-"

"Her own father did this?", said Johnny. "He would kill his own daughter?"

"Guys does that mean-"

"There's no way", said Yuta, "we need to get over to Stallard Kingdom"

"Um guys-"

"Let's stop by the base and get ready", said Renjun.

"Yo-"

"Yeah, but we need to hurry ASAP", Hendery said.

"GUYS!" Jaemin yelled, following with a couple coughs after. They all looked at him. "As I was trying to ask, what about the wedding?"

"Wedding?", Yuta asked.

"Eugene just said there's a wedding? I'm pretty sure Maggie's an only child"

Realization then hit.

"WEDDING!?"
