The Last Seven - a BTS AU Story

Chapter 10 - Everything goes Wrong

The boys were shocked. No one was able to say anything at the thought of Jimin being captured. “How did you guys know?” Hoseok asked. Taehyung held out the spyglass and the grenade. Hoseok gasped at the sight of the objects. He pointed to the grenade : “Teleporters!” he exclaimed, “They help the aliens to get to places where rumoured prisoners are.” The boys looked up. “But, none of us had been tracked. How - ?” Seokjin asked, “I knew there were tracking devices placed on prisoners,” Yoongi replied, “I thought Jungkooks was in his thorn handcuffs. I got rid of them though…” Jungkook looked like he was dreading the worst. He slowly dug one hand into one of his shirt sleeves and pulled it out. In his palm was a strange square-shaped chip, complete with a tiny antenna of its own. “It's a tracker…” he said. The boys were quiet in shock. Hoseok finally broke it by saying, “We need to get out of here and find Jimin.” “But how? It takes 3 weeks to go there by sea.” They all then eyed the Teleporter anxiously. “It will work right?” Namjoon asked. “Only way to find out,” Taehyung replied, and prised it open. Inside was an even tinier capsule and a sheet of paper. Taehyung unfolded it and handed it to Jungkook, who read through it, his frown becoming more pronounced. “I don’t understand a single thing!” he said, exasperated, “I only know the spoken dialect, not this shit!” Taehyung nervously eyed it and looked up. “I guess we can, you know, say the name of the place together and throw it down,” he said hesitantly. “Good idea. Let’s try it,” Yoongi replied. He turned to Jugkook. “Throw that tracker into the thicket. That should be a false alarm,” he advised. Jungkook nodded and threw it into the thicket with such force that it was broken when it landed. “Even better. Let’s go and get our Jiminie back,” Namjoon said. Taehyung held the capsule up, ready to drop it. “On three, then,” he said, “One, two, three!” The boys all shouted, “Alien Headquarters!” before being sucked into darkness.

The boys landed on the partially-destroyed hills where they had met. The building of the aliens was close by, and the boys disappeared into the rocks, trying to spot Jimin. Jungkook pointed to one of the other buildings on the side of Alien Headquarters. It looked dismal and disappointing for a futuristic place. Namjoon looked at him dirtily. “What’re we gonna do with that?” he asked. Jungkook rolled his eyes. “Look who’s entering it, hyung!” The boys fixed their gaze at the entry. Two aliens were dragging a figure inside. The blue hair was unmistakable. “Jimin’s alive!” Hoseok exclaimed. Yoongi kicked him. The aliens had heard Hoseok’s shout echo through the hills and were hurriedly moving in their direction. The boys looked desperately for a place to hide but there was none. The temple had been reduced to stone bits and the cave was completely blocked by a boulder. “Oh damn, we’re stuck,” Seokjin sighed. “Cheer up, guys. There’s the plains,” Taehyung said. Yoongi clapped a hand onto his forehead. “I forgot about that. C’mon, let’s go.” With much difficulty, he began to squeeze himself through the rocks and go to the mountain plains. The others followed, occasionally tripping on fallen rock. 

Through the dried grass and bushes the boys walked, finding an area to hide and to get a good view of what those aliens were trying to do to Jimin. They finally found a great hideout, an old den. It was covered in moss but it still had a good view of the prisoners’ building. The boys crept inside it and waited for a single hint that Jimin was in there.

Jimin woke up to an unpleasant shock as he found himself in an enclosed stone cell. Two aliens stared at him with loathing. One seemed to say something to the other, but Jimin didn’t understand. They finally locked the cell door and handed the keys to the jailer, who pocketed it and left. Jimin felt nauseous and his head was spinning lightly. He tried to remember what had happened. But everything had gone black right after he had stepped into the thicket, back at the island with the others. He sat up, his back against the cold stone wall. He was about to run a hand through his hair, but he found out that they were bound by thorns, the same way Jungkooks had been, according to Yoongi. His heart gave an unpleasant jolt as he remembered the others. Surely they’ll be coming for him right now, but the journey takes 3 weeks, so Jimin had nothing to do but wait. He closed his weary eyes and slept for a while, hoping to relieve himself of the nauseous feeling.
