"Eclipse, with Hades. Slyther and Asteroid. The rest with me."
Their leader ordered as he wasted no time and walked ahead with Xethin and Heister tailing him from behind.
The three agents walked through the hall as Xethin remained behind, sticking himself on the wall, his hand remained on the same position, on guard.
Alpha peaked to the right as they arrived into an opening while Heister checked the left side, making sure both sides are clear before they went further.
A loud banging noise rang through the area, grabbing their attention as it then switch to the hologram announcer appearing on top of them.

"That's Hades OP." Heister whispered, noticing the familiar sound as it was different from other sniper because of the skins. Clicking his gun as he did a wide peek, moving to the other side, Alpha and Xethin remained behind. Circling around as they each checked their backs, eyes wide open.
Xethin who has been at the back the whole time, turned to the side only to see a blazing hell fire being thrown at their directions. "12 o'clock! Down now!"
They all bent down at the signal, dodging the attack as Xethin was the first one to regain composure and started to shoot at the direction where the fire came.
"Move back!" Heister shouted, taking out two 10.000 korean won before throwing it to the same direction as he joined his teammates at the back before flicking his fingers together, letting it to explode changing its form into coin, scattering on the ground as it exploded again.
Alpha clicked his tongue as fire emerged on his hand, swinging it to the front as a blazing lion appeared running to the opponent's location.
Roaring was heard Alpha and Heister approached, circling around as Alpha landed a shot on one of the opponent he just spotted, his blazing companion followed his direction as it attacked the other member nearby.
"They're hurt. Xethin!"
"On it."
Deep in the shadows located behind the two, Xethin emerged from within, aiming his rifle to their heads one by one, earning headshot points.

"Did we throw him under the bus?" Xethin asked after teleporting back to his teammates who are standing there ground on the site, taking full control of it.
"Payback for what he did to me." Heister replied with a sulky tone, standing near Xethin as Alpha approached them slowly, having his guard up.
"Xethin, go to Slyther. We're okay here."
"Okay, Capt."
He smirked, giving the a slight waved, taking a step into the shadows and teleporting near Slyther's location as quickly as possible before his black hole closed.
"Keep your guard up, they could be nearby." Alpha reminded, giving the younger a smile before winking.

[ MATCH POINT ]
ATEEZ 1 | 0 DREAMER
Oh?! what happened here? Dreamers losing the first round. That's an unusual thing to happen.
It was a 4v6. Dreamers had the upper hand in round one but it seemed that Ateez was able to take the round.
today's match is an intense one as we know both teams are really strong. Seeing how both teams are saving their ults for later, we may get several intense ult battle there.
The members reloaded each of their guns, throwing away the old ammos as they replacing with the new ones.
"I'm not using OP anymore." The youngest stared, his face was plastered with a sour expression as he glared at the older ones, feeling annoyed as his brain replsyed how he was eliminated from the match.
Alpha and Hades let out a chuckled as they locked their loads. Slyther rolled his eyes, sighing deeply, loud enough for the rest to hear his robotic voice.
"It was Heister's idea." Xethin said, brushing his hair back while the two younger ones started to bicker with each other.
"Let Asteroid use Vandal instead." The oldest ordered, seeing the younger beamed up, cheering slightly as he took a out one of his rifle disk. Hearing a soft 'thank you' from him, Alpha flashed a soft smile before letting it disappeared when he saw their opponents glaring toward their direction.
"Whose ult is ready?" He asked.
"All of us is still on process." Slyther replied as he read the stats in his armpad which were tracking each of the members health and abilities in the previous round.
"Eclipse will be the first one to be ready with his ult. 1 minutes after the round start." He continued, putting his arm down, automatically turning off his pad.
"We break just like last time, Hades OP. We're attacking so call out any clear site or if you manage to take a site."
They all nodded as their focus switched to the barrier that now had disappeared. Aiming their guns up as they entered their side and into the playing area.
With them breaking into three units, they scattered through the area, having a much wider control of the game. Slow and steady steps they took, avoiding wood-panels and pebbles, trying not to make any sound.
"I'm going up." Hades informed as he already had one of his leg stepping on a wooden crate, climbing up into a higher stand. Crouching down and eyes sticking on his scope.
As Hades waited for his next victim, Eclipse scanned the rest of the area, making sure their area is clear.
Although no heads were seen, they both encountered two spheres of midnight smoke, blocking every entryway of the area. Seeing this, Hades clicked his tongue as his gun was almost useless to this situation.
They both stood on guard as Eclipse kept looking around, turning from left to right. Heavy footsteps were heard coming their way, Hades tighten his grip around his gun.
"Look away, Hades." The other said, snapping his finger as a ball of light appeared. Hades did as he told, bending down, covering his eyes as Eclipse threw his sun flash to the smoke they're facing.
With his none-blinded-eyes, Hades peeked as he flicked his finger as he threw his own blinding ability on the opening behind him.
The sound of footsteps getting closer was heard, Hades immediately looked back up, regaining his stand, aiming to the smoke.
Squinting his eyes slowly, waiting for the moment as he saw on agent peeking through the smoke. Not thinking, Hades pulled his trigger as landing right on a headshot.

"Good shot." His friend praised as they watched the smoke dimmed down, "they're running."
Hades wasted no time as he jumped down with hurried steps switching to a hand gun with Eclipse followed behind. "My ult is ready."
"Let me plant the spike first then you can activate your ult."
Hades said, crouching down behind one crate, pulling out the spike and started to plant. He pulled the spike, opening it before quickly switching to his hand gun, dropping the spike as he shot one agent spotted in front of him.
Poking his inner cheeks with his tongue as he returned into planting the spike, letting Eclipse take the kill.
"Shit. He left."
"Not quite, they're coming again. Lots."
Instead of a panic expression, Eclipse smirked as he heard footsteps getting closer.
"4 coming your way." Slyther's voice rang through their earpieces, informing them to expect some guests.
"We're coming, don't be greedy." Alpha's voice rang through their heads, reminding the two to be more focus on defending the spike instead of killing.
"I'm activating my ult." Eclipse said, taking steps away from his teammate as his tanned-skin arm started to appear bright lines going up from his hand to his neck. His brown-coloured eyes started to shine in a yellow colour.
"They're behind you, Hades."
A small smirked was shown as he ran full speed towards the direction given to them, deploying his rocket launcher as he jumped into the air, avoiding the spike and Hades.
In mid air, he saw the four agents that were mentioned, he smiled widely as he aimed his launcher towards them. "Eat this shit!"

Slyther's voice cut as gunshot was heard before disappearing completely, the two stayed on guard as they circled the area once again before staying at one spot, holding an angle.
"Serpent and Falcon are the only ones left."

2 vs 3
With his eyes wide open, Alpha peeked into their site, seeing Hades and Eclipse holding an angle, he slowly approached them, avoiding startling them.
At a snail pace, Alpha went to the spike near Hades. "Serpent will come from there."
He informed, pointing at one entry. His other hand pulled out his disks as he aimed perfectly on the walls framing the opening.
Gunshots were heard, grabbing Eclipse's and Alpha's attention as they began to shoot, resulting a 3v1.
Alpha took most of the hit as Falcon switched his aim to the leader before stepping behind, saving his health.
The eldest frowned as he fall back, letting Eclipse stood in front of him. Hades shot fire again as he aimed for the walls, hoping to land a single bullet through it. Eclipse followed as he threw a couple of shots before reloading his gun and continued his attacks.
[ FALCON ELIMINATED ]
1 vs 3
Hades took the opportunity to ran to the other side as he looked back to the other opening before crouching back down next to Falcon's pixalate body.
He extended his left arm at Falcon's direction before turning his hand into a fist as he made a pulling motion towards him, making a stream of black flames went from Falcon's body to him.
"How much HP do you have?" Their leader asked through the earpiece.
"I'm still full."
"Healing now. 96."
"Shit. I'm only 6. Falcon mainly aimed for me and Hades."
"Don't worry, it's a 3v1. we're able to take this round. You just rest there old man."
Alpha glared at the younger as held up his Phantom. For once he wished that he could headshot this teammate of his.
Hades who is standing on the other side, aimed his sniper to the other opening. Pulling the trigger instantly as he saw an agent body peeking between the walls, his bullet landing through his chest, not enough to eliminate him.
"Fuck. He's full health and I missed."
"Don't worry, we got it."
Alpha who is standing behind, got signals from his arm bands, knowing exactly what that meant— his lips curved up as he formed a smirk.
He hurried himself and went towards an opening as he saw Serpent– the opponent's agent, stuck in one position unable to move as his body started to glitch from left to right. It was obvious that the opponent had gone into one of his traps, making him in this current state.
Alpha smirked at the sight as he aimed his Phantom to the head.
