Aztec 13: Keep reading and things will begin to escalate to unimaginable levels.
We then see the Running Men on platforms inside the stadium.
"So you're saying that my partner is an agent of the Peacekeepers?" MacArthur asked. "Why didn't she tell me?!" She was angry about the situation.
"That's the point of a secret organisation." Kitty tries to get a simple point through her head. "It's supposed to be kept a secret."
"It's just a massive concept to wrap my head around." MacArthur sighed. "A hard pill to swallow."
"That reminds me of the song 'Hard Pill to Swallow' by Blacklite District." Duncan smiled.
"You also listen to him?" Kitty asked.
"Yeah, I have dug through many popular rock bands. Decided to find someone underrated." Duncan said.
"So, this is the team match. I guess I can work with it." MacArthur shows off her pride.
"Yeah, this is gonna be good." Heather smiled.
The robot then appears in front of them.
"Congratulations Running Men!" The robot congratulates the group. "You have made it through the solo matches of the Running Man Championship! Now you will play in the team matches! Let the games begin!"
The stadium lights up to manifest into the Super Arena.
"The game is called Ball Control!" The robot announced.
Holographic screens appear in front of each of the Running Men.
"You will be divided into 2 teams. The one with Spirits is the Red Team and the one without Spirits is the Blue Team." The female voice announced.
"Wait a minute, how is that fair?!" MacArthur questioned.
"Yeah! How?!" Carrie asked.
"For the match to be fair, the team without Spirits will be given a boost in physical capabilities." The female voice continued.
"Aw yeah!" Owen cheered in seeing the match not one sided.
"The point of the game is to have control on all 3 balls. Each team begins the game with a ball in their possession." The female voice continues. "Another ball will be found in the stadium. If you hold a ball, it will count for your team. You can steal the balls from your opponent by taking it out of their possession for 10 seconds. Stealing the shields will still result in elimination."
"Are you ready?" The robot asked the audience.
The audience cheered loudly.
"It's Running Time!" The robot announced the game.
The Running Men then fly into the arena.
We then see the Blue Team walking in the arena. Owen is holding a blue ball.
"So, what's our game plan?" Carrie asked.
"I dunno, but we got a ball. That's a start." Owen smiled without worry.
"You better don't play with it, we might lose it." MacArthur kept an eye on him.
"Yeah, we better choose someone who can hold the balls." Shawn thinks of a plan.
"How about you, Shawn?" Owen suggests Shawn to hold the balls.
"Wait, me? Really?" Shawn was confused by this remark.
"Well, Owen and I don't want to have the responsibility, and MacArthur, is well, MacArthur." Carrie said.
"What does that mean?" MacArthur didn't like that remark. "Just remember that I have a physical boost."
"Well, so do I." Carrie points out what MacArthur had forgotten.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." MacArthur laughed a bit. "Come back here!" She yelled.
"Aaaaagh!" Carrie screamed.
MacArthur then chased Carrie away. The two then went out of sight.
"Okay, maybe we should go after them." Owen said.
"Yeah, maybe we should." Shawn agrees.
The two then began walking. But what they didn't know was that an energized Heather was watching them from a distance while leaning on a pillar, acting as a scout.
"MacArthur's self destruction would lead to the self destruction of the others." Heather was planning out an attack. "We need to find a perfect time to strike."
Heather then walked out, while whistling.
We then see Carrie running from MacArthur.
"Can we stopped getting sidetracked for a moment?!" Carrie tries to get her to stop.
"Okay. Okay, I'll stop." MacArthur gives in.
The two then slow down.
"You will?" Carrie sighed in relief.
"Yeah, yeah." MacArthur agrees. "For now."
"Ugh, you are pretty annoying, you know that?!" Carrie was annoyed with MacArthur's behavior.
"I've heard worse insults." MacArthur shrugged the insult off.
Suddenly, something tackles MacArthur.
"Agh!" MacArthur exclaims.
"Oh no!" Carrie yelled.
When MacArthur's body hits the floor, they get a glimpse on who tackled her; Mike.
"Yagh!" MacArthur yelled.
Then MacArthur attempts took a swing at him. Mike then takes out his batons and blocks the punch. But due to MacArthur's enhanced physical capabilities, Mike stumbles back.
"Aaaagh!" MacArthur yelled from hitting the metal batons and from the shock that came with it. "Those batons are becoming a serious annoyance." She exclaimed.
"Well, at least I know that I can do some damage." Mike smirked. "Who has the ball?"
"Like we'll tell you!" MacArthur yelled.
"Okay then." Mike grins.
Mike then inserts his Spirit into his watch.
-Spirit of Cloning-
Then Mike summoned 3 of his clones and they put on a fighting stance.
"Can we fight this many?" Carrie was worried.
"Eh, don't worry." MacArthur readied herself.
MacArthur began firing at them.
The Mikes dodge the bullets and began charging at them.
"Get ready, we may have to use brute force for this one." MacArthur warns.
"Okay, I'm ready." Carrie said with determination.
Carrie then took a swing with two of her arms at two of the clones, knocking them down. She then takes a look but they have no shields or watch.
"These don't have shields!" Carrie yelled.
The clones then disappear.
We then see MacArthur doing hand to hand combat with two Mikes.
"Yah! Which one of you is the real Mike?!" MacArthur yelled.
One of the Mikes swung his batons at MacArthur. Due to enhanced capabilities, she was able to dodge and get a glimpse of Mike's shield.
"Hasta la vista!" MacArthur yelled in seeing an opportunity.
In a quick motion, MacArthur spins and steals Mike's shield.
"Booyah!" MacArthur yelled.
"Oh no!" Mike yelled.
The hand appears once again and pulls Mike in.
"Mike out! Mike out!" The female voice announces the elimination.
"I think he slightly underestimated us." Carrie stated.
"Slightly?" MacArthur questioned.
Then Shawn and Owen meet up with them. Shawn was holding the ball.
"Okay, MacArthur, try not to keep us seperate. This is a team match, we need to stick together." Shawn said.
"Just calm your calves, we already eliminated one." MacArthur brags about the elimination.
"I know, but just stick together. Don't go lone wolf on us." Shawn said.
"Just shut i- AGH!" MacArthur was talking when something hits her leg. "Agh! Officer down!"
"Oooogh!" Shawn yelled as he also felt something hitting his leg, dropping the ball.
"What the?!" Carrie was both surprised and confused.
They turn to see two of the Red Team, Kitty and Heather, near them. Kitty was firing at them with her arm cannon.
"They dropped the ball!" Kitty exclaimed.
"I got it!" Heather yelled.
Heather the ran at the two to get the ball. Carrie was blocking Kitty's arm cannon shots with her extra arms.
"Owen, we better do something!" Carrie yelled.
"On it!" Owen yelled.
Owen then gets into Heather's path. Seeing this, Heather swings her staff at him. Owen dodges it and uses her momentum to shoulder bash Heather, causing her to fall back.
"Ohh, that was unexpected." Heather exclaimed, heavily weakened.
"Oh wow! I can't believe I did that!" Owen yelled in celebration.
"Not time to celebrate just yet. We gotta get out of here." Carrie points out that it's not the time to celebrate.
"Oh yeah, right." Owen said.
Owen walks up to Heather and body slams her.
"Ooooohhh!" Heather yelped in pain.
Owen gets up and picks up Shawn and the ball while Carrie picks up MacArthur. They then ran away from the area.
Kitty walks up to Heather lying flat on the floor.
"I guess this is what Noah feels." Heather weakly said.
Kitty lended out her hand. Heather grabs it and pulls herself up.
"Wow, I wasn't expecting that." Kitty exclaimed.
"Ugh, how does Noah survive this on a daily basis." Heather complained while rubbing her back.
"It gets some time to get used to." Kitty smiles. "Noah told me he took 3 months to get used to the first 10 seconds of it. And lots of physiotherapy."
Heather snickers at the statement.
"You know, I'm starting to worry a bit for our friends." Heather points out.
"By that, you mean your boyfriend." Kitty states.
"Alejandro is not my boyfriend." Heather denies the statement. "And even if he is, he is not the only one I'm worried about."
"Oh, come on, you haven't even met my sister." Kitty said. "Though you are both competitive."
"I'm not talking about everyone. I'm just also worrying about Gwen and Courtney." Heather said.
"Like you even like them." Kitty was calling out her bluff.
"Don't take this the wrong way, but even though I hate them, they're still family. We're all still family, even if some of us have never met." Heather states.
"Yeah, that's why we're gonna find them." Kitty assured Heather. "If there's one thing we have in common, we can take care of each other."
"Thanks for this talk, it helps me distract myself from worry." Heather said.
"You betcha, now come on, we've got a match to win." Kitty said.
"Okay then." Heather said.
"Wait, where's Duncan?" Kitty realized someone was missing.
"Ah crap." Heather exclaimed. "Let's find him."
They run in another direction.
We then see the Blue Team resting by a pillar.
"So, anything thought of after that entire skirmish?" Shawn asked.
"Well, I see that none of them have balls, so that means Duncan must have them." Carrie said.
"Okay, then, we find him, then eliminate him." MacArthur thought of a plan.
"Right after you heal of course." Owen suggests them to rest.
"Okay then." Shawn agreed.
"Why heal? We can take him on right now!" MacArthur yelled in stubborness.
"No, just wait for a bit, then we'll attack." Carrie said.
"Yeah, you took quite the blows from that arm cannon." Owen points out the injury.
"Okay, okay. I'll rest." MacArthur gives in.
We then see Duncan walking around, walking with the red ball.
"Hmm, I wonder where the ball is." Duncan was looking for the third ball.
Duncan turns to look behind a pillar where he sees a gray ball sitting there.
"Bingo." Duncan smiled.
Duncan walked to the ball and picks it up. The ball immediately turns red.
"Now I need to steal one more." Duncan said to himself.
"What the heck are you doing?!" Heather's voice was heard behind him.
Duncan turns around to see Kitty and Heather.
"Well, I was just finding the other ball. Now I have it." Duncan smiled.
"We gave you the ball because you are the strongest. Yet you are here away from the group who can protect you." Heather was scolding.
"Relax, I can handle myself." Duncan said.
"Just give me the balls if you won't even stick with the team." Heather said.
"Wow, didn't know you were such a team player." Duncan rolled his eyes at the statement.
"Just give it here." Heather demanded.
"No, I'm the strongest!" Duncan exclaimed.
"How about Rock, Paper, Scissors." Kitty suggests. "Since you can't decide, let chance do it for you."
"Fine." Duncan said.
"Fine." Heather said.
The two held their fist out.
"Rock!" Heather yelled.
"Paper!" Duncan yelled.
"Scissors!" Kitty yelled.
"Shoot!" All three of them yelled.
Heather pulled out Scissors and Duncan pulled out Paper.
"Yes! I won!" Heather yelled in celebration.
"Ugh." Duncan sighed in defeat.
Duncan then handed over the balls to Heather.
"Well then, shall we continue?" Kitty asked if they shall continue the game.
"Yeah, we shall." Heather agrees.
Suddenly, someone popped out of nowhere and kicks Heather in the face.
"Aaaaagh!" Heather yelped.
The person landed to reveal themselves as MacArthur. She then picks up the one of the balls from Heather's hands and makes a run for it.
"Sayonara suckers!" MacArthur yelled.
"Wow. Didn't make it past a minute." Duncan sarcastically remarked.
"Ugh, dangit!" Heather yelled.
"I'll get her." Kitty said. "Pick up the other one."
Duncan then picks up the ball from the ground.
Kitty takes out her Spirit and inserts it into her watch.
-Spirit of the Wind-
Kitty then flies after MacArthur.
"Come back here!" Kitty yelled.
Well then, I had to think hard again for this to work. I also made up this game. Now that this round is in full swing, all you have to do is wait for the next one to release.
Sayonara suckers!
