Minnie : make sure to catch the ball
"Let's go!!!"
Wonbin clapped his hands with excitement, eyes glowing under the flashing arena lights.
"Objective remains the same," Minnie's voice echoed from the speakers, a little shaky but firm. "Please score the goals!"
Ali raised his hand and called out to his teammates.
"Come on, boys! We can do this!"
In the center of the field, a mechanical robot rumbled forward and placed a glowing energy ball onto the arena floor. Everything fell silent — just the hum of machinery and the pounding of hearts filled the air.
"I got this."
Asahi charged forward, eyes locked on the ball. He reached out and brought it under control. But then—
BOOM!
The robot retaliated, slamming Asahi aside like a piece of paper.
"Ouch!!" Asahi groaned, tumbling backward. The robot regained the ball and began sprinting toward the goal zone.
But Armin appeared from the flank, eyes sharp and focused. A memory surfaced —
"Dive into the field! Don't be afraid of the dirt. Focus on the ball, not the enemy."
– Coach Noah
Armin slipped in gracefully, performing a low dive and snatching the ball cleanly!
"ASH!! TAKE THIS!!!"
Armin quickly recovered and launched the ball across the field.
"THANK YOU, BRO!! I GOT THIS!!"
Ash received the pass with his left foot. But before he could sprint ahead, Myles appeared beside him with a cheeky grin.
"Can I help you, handsome?"
Ash laughed. "Of course! Let's confuse this big guy!"
The two began weaving — zigzagging left and right. Their movements mirrored each other, switching positions rapidly. The massive robot defender in front of them started to glitch, sensors struggling to keep up.
BEEP. BEEP. BZZT—
While the robot froze in confusion, Ash seized the moment.
He spun, charged his energy — and fired a powerful shot toward the goal zone.
BOOOM!!!
The energy ball exploded into the target core, lighting up the sky.
"GOAL!"
Minnie screamed with enthusiasm.
"First point goes to... Kelana Warriors!!"
The stadium erupted in cheers. Armin clapped Ash on the back.
"Let's make it two."
