"Zeke, to the left. Stop the melee's from reaching us," Logan said hitting the enter button as they try to break the base and pillars of the enemy.
"Grant, help me. I need energy and I'm running out. Come here and break this," Rhett said as his power started decreasing.
Grant seriously looked at the screen and wandered over to where Rhett is and started helping him out.
"What is happening here, where is Myles!" Grant yelled.
"Myles is fighting off the captain," Zeke replied.
"I can't come over there, Zeke will help you out," Myles said.
"On the count of one two three, using all your power just break the base in one go," Grant said.
"Okay."
"Yes."
"Okay."
"One... Two... Three..." Grant said and all together they broke the base.
"f**k! That was intense!" Kaleb said.
"Yes, it was. They are not bad," Antonio said looking at the screen.
Grant sighed leaving the keyboard as he leaned back in his seat.
Zeke closed his eyes and shook his head as the tension left his body.
"We did it, bro," Myles said looking at the screen.
"Yes!" Rhett replied looking at the audience where his girlfriend and family sat.
"Kids did it, I'm happy for them," Gigi said holding her husband's hand.
"Yes... They did it," Anit said holding her hand.
Ace closed his eyes and prayed the god before looking at the boys.
"Wow! What a start to this tournament, I seriously thought it was going to end soon but didn't see this coming," the anchor said.
"Yes... Yes... Even I thought the same. Guess we went wrong in the prediction. Both the halves of the game were played marvellously by Team A and B. Wonderful... Wonderful..." Anchor two spoke.
"They were good," Ruth said.
"Good? They are better than you," Preston said before standing up from his seat.
"I will see you later bastard. Just wait before we go to our base," Ruth spoke in her dangerous voice.
Antonio and Kaleb shared a look. "Okay... Okay... Calm down, they are not better than you."
Grant, Zeke, Myles, Logan and Rhett stood up from their seats as team Solomid started walking towards them.
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
"Good job."
"Thank you."
"It was nice playing with you guys."
"Same."
They all shook their hands one by one before wandering on stage.
"I will wait in the room," Ace said standing up.
He cannot stay when the crowd is now interested in knowing the boys.
"Okay," Greyson replied.
"The boys will be having a small interview. Tell all of the five to talk at least two sentences," Ace said.
"Noted."
Ace nodded his head before turning around and leaving.
Myles hugged Brooks as they are best friends.
"I'm so happy brother! You played so well!" Brooks said patting Myles back.
"Thanks, brother," Myles replied.
"Wah! Wah! Played so well Zeke boy!" Carl said pinching Zeke's cheeks.
"Don't pinch my cheeks," Zeke said.
"Okay... Okay..."
"Did good," Daman said to Logan.
"Great play brother," Kayden said hugging Rhett.
"Thanks, brother," Rhett replied.
Greyson nodded his head looking at Grant and Grant smiled in understanding.
Everyone knew Greyson is a man of few words.
"Good one," Greyson said looking at everyone.
Diego watched the boys, he didn't see the masked man on stage. Before he could find out who the man is, he disappeared.
Diego stood up from his seat to leave. Antonio, Ruth and Kaleb looked at Diego.
"You leaving?" Samuel asked Diego.
"Yes, we are leaving. Nothing is there to stay," Diego said looking at Antonio and Kaleb.
Kaleb, Antonio and Ruth got the message. "We will leave with Diego," Antonio said.
"Preston already left. He is waiting in the room," Samuel said.
"Good," Diego said and started walking but Samuel stopped him.
"The media will start asking questions on Team A and B. Ignore and move forward," Samuel said looking at everyone.
"Okay."
"Yup."
"Brother Ace wants you five to speak with the media in at least two sentences. You cannot ignore the media," Greyson said.
"I don't wanna talk in front of the camera. I'm scared," Zeke said immediately taking a step back.
Greyson looked at Zeke then at Grant. "Zeke will be the first one to talk."
"Bro!"
"It's from brother Ace. I can't help," Greyson said.
"Hi, guys, congratulations on your win. The media is waiting for you guys. Please hurry up," the backstage member said.
"Thank you, brother. We will be there in a minute," Logan replied.
"We will be in the room," Greyson said.
"Okay."
Greyson, Carl, Daman, Brooks and Kayden started towards the tunnel area from where they can go to the room.
"Let's go boys," Myles said placing his hand on the back of Zeke.
"But..." Zeke said.
"No buts, nothing will happen. Just say it was good," Rhett said.
Ace stopped walking when he saw the crowd before the greenroom.
They are waiting with books and markers. He turned his head towards the left hallway to see the hallway empty.
He turned and started walking towards the left side of the hallway from where he can go to the backdoor.
He pulled his phone out to text Greyson. He was texting that he didn't see the person coming from the other side taking a turn.
He bumped in making things fall. "I'm sorry," he said thinking to bend down to pick the bag.
"It's fine," the girl wearing a black cap said picking the bag.
Before he could see her face his phone rang. It was from Greyson, he turned to the other side and answered the call.
"Hello."
"We are in front of the room."
"I'm leaving through the left side tunnel. I will be waiting on the bus," Ace said turning to see the girl.
The girl already started walking towards the pathway he came from.
He can only see her back, she is quite small and his gaze went to her long hair.
"Okay, we will be there."
"Hmm."
Ace turned back to leave ending the call.
Greyson pulled his phone back into his jean pocket and looked ahead.
"Grey!" He heard his sister's words.
"Grey?" Carl asked confused looking at the girl wearing a mask.
Greyson stopped looking at her. "Do you know her?" Brooks asked.
"Who ignores their sister?" Greyson's sister said.
"Sister?" Kayden questioned.
"Leave, I will see you guys on the bus," Greyson said.
Before Carl could say something Greyson wandered towards his sister and held her arm to go to the other side.
"How do you feel standing on this stage?" The anchor asked Grant.
"Thank you for the question," Grant started looking at the woman.
"Hmm, it's more than a feeling. It was and is our dream to play on this stage," Grant said.
"Well, that's nice. I hope to see you every year," the anchor said.
