The final game, Arena of Siam
Even after the flashing of the cameras, they all walked to the arena. Queen Julya and Octo had just arrived to watch Jeno's game, his mother deploying free filled water bottles for everyone.
"If someone threatens you, you bare your teeth and you growl at them, understand?" Queen Julya said to Jeno, patting his forehead that was already starting to sweat.
"Yes, Prince Jeno. You must tackle them with all your might!" Octo chirped, opening a bottle of water for Jeno as he took a gulp. Octo sniffled, his tentacled face grabbing a tissue to help Queen Julya wipe away his sweat.
"Mother, I'm fine."
"Maybe we should pay them off," Queen Julya began but was combatted with Jeno giving her a waring glare. ".... With integrity and hardwork. And where is that human of yours? Why aren't they giving you emotional support?"
"Me?" Both Bunny and Jaemin piping up from behind Jeno, both of them looking at each other in confusion.
"Alright, everyone." Johnny clapped his hands together before nodding. "They're starting. We've already registered our characters to save time, they banned your usual characters as expected. We do it exactly as we practiced."
Bunny nodded, tightening her pigtails.
"On the arena!"
Their names and characters then showed up on the screen, each of their characters beside their names.
Kim Bunny (Luoyi- Mage)
Lee Jeno (Saber- Assassin)
Park Nabi (Clint- Marksman)
Jung Jaehyun (Cyborg- Fighter)
Lee Haechan (Fanny- Assassin)
Na Jaemin (Valir- Mage)
Nakamoto Yuta (Johnson- Tank)
Lee Mark (Franco- Tank)
Bunny winked at one of the other players, her pigtails swinging back and forth when she felt Jeno's eyes on her. She winked to him, turning away to not catch the smile on his lips.
"Remember, we level up first. Haechan make sure you clear their side of the map," Johnny's voice echoed in their ear piece. "Get your ultimate then shadow Kim Bunny."
"Orders, orders," Lee Haechan huffed.
As the game started, Lee Haechan found himself navigating the unknown lane of the Arena of Siam. His body already felt hot from the humid weather, his suit sticking to body when he felt a knock back.
"Sunshine, make sure he doesn't level up," a voice said, Haechan feeling a sense of pain travel up his leg. "If he gets to use his ultimate, we are done for."
"Got it," a female said, Haechan blinking softly when he saw her hover over him, a gun in hand.
She had big brown eyes that Haechan was sure was filled with so much loneliness. He groaned, turning to the side to feel the pain subside, the female waiting for cool down.
"You must be Lee Haechan," she greeted and even if she was an enemy, she sounded so sweet. "I'm so sorry, I simply cannot allow you to level up."
"Is that your strategy?" Haechan asked back.
"Haechan? Where the fuck are you? The other team are stealing our creatures!"
"One on one with someone from the other team," Haechan answered when another shot was aimed to him, Haechan dodging it for a moment. "Your name?"
"They call me Sunshine," she answered, taking to steps back as Haechan tried to attack her. He took advantage at the fact that her cool down was for another 7 seconds, the male finally pushing her to the ground just to straddle her, her body tensing up against the ground.
"Sunshine, huh? Would you like to go for dinner with me after this?" Haechan asked, his face hovering over her. She smiled, not saying anything when he felt it. Her gun fired and his life went down to a zero, the male falling back to be brought back to the recall area.
"Sure," she called out, blowing the tip of her gun.
"LEE HAECHAN!" Jeno roared. "Stop hitting on her and play!"
The game went on, Haechan finally getting his ultimate. He would always see her, hiding in the bushes, the male zipping across the arena. The game continued but it all took a downturn as Jaehyun sprained his ankle.
An opponent had tackled him while he was trying to fight off the Lord. In half an hour, both teams were left with one turret on each side (the main one and Bunny said that it was a losing game).
The problem was, the other team had gotten the Lord. Kyungsoo was stressed and Johnny looked like he would flip tables. Yuta and Mark were trying to protect the turret to the best of their ability when Bunny had a final splendid idea.
"Guys... Guys. Enemy is missing from the map." Bunny pointed at the big digitalized map.
"They're buffing up, Bunny."
A look crossed her face as they began to fight the Lord, its health going to zero.
Now, Bunny's ultimate was a weird one. Luoyi was a mage and a character that was newly introduced this season. The character's ultimate was their ability to bring their fellow players to a designated spot on the map.
She did just that, leaving Yuta and Mark behind to fend off the creatures that were beginning to attack the turret, the other team members not in sight.
"You're leaving the tanks back in base?" Jaemin screeched as Bunny pressed her ultimate. "Kim Bunny!"
The other team was not expecting it, focusing on leveling up when the panels moved, bringing the NCT Training Center players down below and shifting. They disappeared from sight.
"Where are they going? Where on the map are they going?" The players from the other team finally realizing that the other team had disappeared, the two tanks doing their best to defend the base.
Bunny had brought them straight to the opponent's main turret, the female screaming with excitement as they popped up from the ground.
"ATTACK!"
Still dazed, her teammates began to attack the opponent's main turret with Jaehyun taking all the damage.
"Attack!" Nabi yelled, all of them giving their best as the turret's life slowly went down. Jaehyun punched his health button to hold them off, his suit finally giving way.
"They are attacking our main turret!" The other team finally realized but it was too late and their main turret crashed, the words "DEFEATED" showing up on their side of the screen.
The crowd exploded into cheers.
Kyungsoo fell back down on the seat.
"Kim Bunny," Johnny could be heard saying over and over again. "Kim Bunny, that girl..."
"To the world!" a chorus came from all the players of his team.
"NCT!"
As the players began to recalibrate, Haechan could be seen jogging to the team with a flower he plucked from the bushes. The female turned to just see him tuck a flower behind her ear, his finger brushing against the shell of her ear.
"See you for dinner, Sunshine," Haechan said, giving her a wink before running back to Mark Lee.
