The 13 Leaders

Forty-Eight

"Thank you Straykids for making it look easy- okay I should stop before I run out of jokes." Eric said as he made his way onto stage.

"Lets give a big hand for ATEEZ preforming HalaHala." Eric cheered as more applause filled the auditorium.

"Ateez are definitely a fan favorite. I have a feeling they might win this whole show." Dino said.

"I wouldn't complain if they did! Look at that performance!" The8 said. "It's like they are possessed!" He added.

By the end of the performance, everyone was asking if San's neck was okay, because of hard he "snapped" it at the end.

Eric made his way back onto the stage after it was cleared and set back up for Astro's performance.

"Everyone HOMESTRETCH! It's ASTRO with All Night!"

"Those outfits are absolutely GORGEOUS!" The8 said as he started shaking Mingyu's shoulders.

"Yah Hyung you should buy me that outfit." The8 pouted as Mingyu shooed him off.

"Hoshi legit robbed me the other day. He keeps stealing my wallet." Mingyu glared as the older.

"Okay guys bicker later Oneus is on!" Seungcheol shushed them. "And look at that set." He pointed out as they all turned back to the screen.

"Well folks this has been fun, but it's time for the final performance. Please welcome ONEUS with To Be Or Not To Be!" Eric bowed.

"Okay now THAT was powerful." Wonwoo said in shock. "They should really rank high for that performance." He admitted.

Speaking of ranking, Eric called them to the stage right after, not bothering to clear the stage props.

"HEY GUYS IM HERE TO TAKE OVER ERIC'S JO-" Jae jumped onto the stage only to get pushed out of the way by Eric.

Resulting in Jae doing some fancy spy movie roll to the side. "Okay let's get on with this. Like normal we have ties this round too!" Eric said.

"I'll announce the first one." Young K said grabbing the card from Eric. "Okay in 5th place: STRAYKIDS & ONEUS! Congrats!" Young K clapped.

"In 4th place: It's Ikon!!" Wonpil said as the Green light landed over the now excited boys, happy they didn't place last again.

"In 3rd place NCT!" Sungjin said as the yellow light flicked on over their heads.

"In 2nd place: We got a tie between ASTRO AND ATEEZ CONGRATULATIONS YOU TOO!" Doowoon applauded both groups.

"And I'm sure you guys know but in first place: SEVENTEEN!" Jae yelled as the 13 of them did a group hug.

"GOLD ACHIEVED!" Hoshi screamed as Dk picked him up and spun him around.
