"Right. Right. Okay, left. Heh, gotcha."

"So rude."

Sangyeon let Minjae hold the circle strip, and they were practicing swinging it around for when the robot came.

They came to a mutual decision that Minjae would not be the one to fight the robot after he got the strip stuck in a hedge while swinging.

Serim was again using his strategy to guide them to the center, for possibly the last time.

He was currently examining the hedges by putting his hands on them for three seconds then saying "yes" or "no" if he thought they were going the right way.

"I don't think he knows what he's doing.", Minjae said.

"I used to think so too, but somehow...it's working."

The closer they got, the more anxious they became. At any moment, the robot could appear.

Sangyeon now held the circle strip, gearing up for the inevitable.

"So, strategy. When the robot shows up, you take Minjae and run.", Sangyeon said.

"I didn't agree to that.", Serim replied.

"I am not going to argue about this. I'll fight the thing and you two run."

"Are you sure you don't need help?"

"I'm sure."

"You better win this fight."

"Oh trust me, I will."

Serim turned a corner of the maze and immediately stopped.

"Sangyeon, there it is!"

Sitting on the ground in front of them was the robot. It turned around at the sound of Serim's voice and began to get up.

"Okay, okay. When it comes this way, run! I'll meet you at the center!"

The robot came stomping in their direction.

The moment it rounded the corner, Serim grabbed Minjae and they ran together.

Sangyeon was now face to face with the robot.

"I guess it's me and you...so what's going to happen?"

The robot stepped towards him.

Sangyeon held out the circle strip.

The moment the robots hand reached out, he swung, clearly knocking it's forearm loose.

The blue light on the inside, Sangyeon noticed, was coming from the wires.

"Ah, I see. Hehe, this is gonna be fun!"

The robot got angrier, pulling off its broken forearm section and tossing it down.

It came closer to Sangyeon, who ran under it and swung at its leg.

He hit it directly, causing the leg to bend backwards.

The robot fell forward, but quickly started to lift itself up again.

Sangyeon had to think fast.

He went to the other leg and hit it repeatedly, causing it to come apart from the robots base. He watched the now exposed wiring scramble back into the robot.

"Ew-"

The now very angry robot used it's single full arm to lift itself up more, and turned to Sangyeon.

It crawled towards him with shocking speed, causing the leader to run.

"Come catch me!", he yelled.

The robot crawled faster, but Sangyeon had a speed advantage on him.

He ducked into a corner before the robot could see him.

When the large contraption came crawling around the corner, Sangyeon took a deep breath and swung as hard as possible.

All he heard was the sparking of electricity as the strip hit the robot directly in its face.

It sparked a vibrant blue, and the robots form convulsed and began to smoke.

Sangyeon let go of the strip, as it was stuck in the face of the robot.

He watched it for a minute, as it slowly shut down, and laid on the ground of the maze.

"I just did that...", he said, "I. Just. Did. That."

He cheered to himself, jumping up and down and doing fists in the air.

Thanks to Sangyeon, Team B, now containing himself, Serim, and Minjae, were safe the Developers game.

He ran off through the maze, following where he knew Serim had went.

He followed his friends strategy of the flowers on the hedges. His smile grew wider and wider as he made his way to the center to share the news.

"Sangyeon!", Minjae yelled.

Sangyeon looked ahead and saw his Team, safely in the center.

He ran to them, and tackled them to the ground.

"We did it Team B! We survived the Developers game!"

They all cheered, holding hands and jumping in a circle.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!"

Minjae still held Taeyong's necklace, and gave it a kiss before holding it in the air.

"Hyung! And friend! We made it! We made it!", he screamed.

They hugged each other, all of their emotions that weren't fully expressed coming to the front.

There wasn't a dry eye among the three.

"I can't believe it...it's over.", Serim said through a waterfall of tears.

"Does this mean we can go home tomorrow?", Minjae said.

"Home...we're going home!", Sangyeon yelled.

Serim fixed his hair.

"Let's go back. I'm sure Yechan is feeling lonely."

The wall opened and the trio ran out of their final maze.

Once they reached the building however, their smiles dropped.

"Guys...", Minjae said.

"You not seeing what I'm not seeing?", Serim asked.

Sangyeon looked around the building.

"Where did Yechan go?"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Team A was not indeed celebrating.

Jungwon was guiding them through the maze a few minutes ago when, as expected, they heard that familiar creaking metal sound.

Stomping with all its might towards them now was the robot, and he was very angry.

Seungcheol instructed Soobin to hand hin the circle strip. He did, and now Seungcheol was at the front, swinging to keep the robot back from them.

"We need a plan!", he yelled, "Some kind of strategy or something!"

"I have an idea!", Keeho yelled back.

"Now's a good time to tell me!"

"Run backwards! The robot will chase you and give the ones in front a chance to escape!"

Seungcheol took the idea and started running back.

The robot passed Jungwon and Soobin to follow him.

Keeho still couldn't run, and hadn't thought that part through.

The robot swung at Seungcheol, missing him but knocking Keeho back a few feet.

"Keeho!"

He was helped up from the ground by...

"Yechan?! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Helping!"

Yechan ran forward, snatching the circle strip from. Seungcheol.

"Go! I'll block it!", he yelled.

"Yechan no! He could hurt you!"

"I don't care! Go!"

Seungcheol knew he couldn't argue, and grabbed Keeho's arm, pulling him along.

"No! Cheol I have to help my brother!"

Keeho kept yelling as Seungcheol pulled him away.

Jungwon was ahead of the two, and saw Soobin with his eyes closed before he ran towards the robot.

"Soobin! What are you doing?!"

Seungcheol reached Jungwon and pulled him too.

The robot tried to go after Seungcheol, but was stopped by Yechan and Soobin.

"Yechan, I want to try something."

"Yeah?"

"If I'm going to be useful...it might as well be as a fighter. Hand me the strip, I want you to tell me where to swing!"

Yechan smiled, handing Soobin the strip.

The robot was getting frustrated, and swung it's arms at them.

"Swing left!", Yechan yelled.

Soobin swung left, doing as Sangyeon did and knocking the robots arm off.

This made the robot even angrier, and it kept swinging at them.

"Left again! Now right!"

Yechan would yell for Soobin to swing, and he would, hitting every single time.

The robot was working with one arm, and dents all across its body.

Yechan was behind him, cheering Soobin on.

The robot used it's existing arm to deliver a powerful swing forward.

"Right!", Yechan yelled.

Soobin swung right, hitting the robot in its arm and sending it ricocheting backwards.

Yechan however didn't have time to move completely out of the way and was hit by the ricocheting arm.

The force of the swing launched him into the hedge, and to the ground.

"Yechan what is it doing now?", Soobin asked.

He didn't hear anything.

"Yechan! Answer me!"

The robot stomped towards Soobin, swaying on its dented legs.

Soobin was scared. Yechan wasn't answering him, and he couldn't see the robot.

But, he could hear him.

He swung the strip, making contact with something.

As soon as he heard the contact, he kept swinging as hard as possible.

Further down the path, Keeho got free from Seungcheol's hold.

"I have to go help them.", he said to Seungcheol and Jungwon, "You two get to the center."

"But...", Jungwon started to say.

"You guys got this. Keep going. All three of us will meet you there."

Before they could stop Keeho, he gathered all of his strength and did what no one expected.

He ran, and he ran fast.

Despite the immense pain he felt, he knew his brother and friend were in danger.

The closer he got, the more adrenaline pumped through him.

He reached the area where the two were and saw a sight unlike any other.

Soobin was standing in front of the robot, who was now missing both arms, and swinging at him furiously.

But when Keeho looked behind the robot, his heart dropped.

Laying on the ground by the hedge wall was Yechan.

Keeho ran forward to Soobin, taking the strip.

"Go, Soobin! I got this!"

Soobin heard the urgency in Keeho's voice and sped off.

The robot had sparks coming from its body all over that spat onto the ground.

Keeho looked up at it, anger in his eyes.

"You...you hurt my brother!", he yelled, "It ends for you, right here!"

He swung at the robots legs, disconnecting one of them and denting the other one so bad, it exposed the wires.

The robot fell on its stomach with a loud creaking thump.

Keeho walked around it, to its head. The eyes of the robot followed him, casting a menacing gaze.

"I've never hated the look something gave me more than you...", Keeho said.

He held the strip up, and with one hard swing, he hit the robots head clean off of its body, sending it flying into the hedge near them.

He watched the sparks gradually fade, and dropped the strip next to it.

Then reality struck him again. He ran back to where his brother was and crouched down next to him.

"Yechan! Yechan, come on, get up!"

The younger boy had many cuts and scratches on the side of him that hit the hedge first. The ground next to him was slowly filling with red from the injuries, namely the small branch that had broken off in Yechan's right side.

Keeho had only once choice.

Ignoring his own pain, he lifted his brother from the ground, carrying him in his arms.

He went as fast as possible towards the center.

The pain he felt was immeasurable, but the pain he would feel if he lost his brother too, would be worse.

In the center of the maze, Jungwon, Seungcheol, and Soobin had made it.

Soobin paced nervously around, waiting for them to arrive.

"What's taking so long?", Jungwon said, "I should go back and help."

"No, Jungwon, stay here.", Soobin replied.

"Guys look!", Seungcheol yelled.

Soobin once again pouted because he in fact, could not look, but he knew it had to be Keeho and Yechan.

And it was.

Keeho came running into the circle, dropping to his knees as he crossed the threshold.

He put Yechan on the ground, trying to catch his breath.

"He's...hurt...", Keeho said.

"We'll take care of him. Are you okay?", Jungwon asked.

Seungcheol used his over-shirt to put pressure on Yechan's injuries in hopes to stop the bleeding.

"I...can't...breathe.", Keeho answered.

"Okay, okay, just sit. Try and go slowly. In, out, in, out.", Jungwon told him.

Keeho sat down, trying to follow Jungwon's instructions.

All he could think about was his brother.

The wall of the maze opened, signaling for them that the Developers game was over.

"Help him...please...", Keeho managed to say.

Seungcheol used his strength, and some help from Soobin, to lift Yechan.

They started leaving the maze, hurrying back to the building.

"Come on Keeho, we have to go.", Jungwon said.

"I can't..."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Can't get up. Jungwon, I can't get up."

Keeho tightly squeezed his eyes shut, feeling strong pain down his back.

"You have to, you can't stay here. I know it hurts, but we gotta get back."

Keeho tried to lift himself from the ground, but it hurt too much. He screamed in pain every time he tried to move.

Jungwon was trying to think of an idea.

"I'll carry you!"

"Are you...sure?"

"I'll have to be. I can't leave you here. Now come on."

Jungwon crouched in front of Keeho, and allowed him to slowly get onto his back.

Then, using his own legs he stood up straight and let out a gasp of relief.

"You're strong.", Keeho said.

"I had started training with Sunghoon."

"Nice."

Jungwon walked out of the maze with Keeho on his back.

The wall closed behind them.

As of that moment, Team A had officially completed the Developers game.
