The Universal Elements

Chapter 22

Jongho sat on the ground as he leaned against the bars. Yeosang tried to keep him happy but it wasn't working. Nothing had happened to Jongho but he knew it would only be a matter of time before something happened.

"How do you still have your crystal Sang"? Jongho asked.

"I-I don't know. But I'm lucky he couldn't take it. I'll get your back I promise. San and I will get everyone's crystal back". Jongho looked at Yeosang and smiled. Jongho looked around at the others. Seonghwa was getting worse. Hongjoong was still crying from the pain, Yunho had began to feel sick and Mingi looked fine.

"Why is this happening"? He whispered.

"Don't think negative Jongie. Please"?

"Easy for you to say, you still have your powers... Your not close to death". Yeosang looked down and Jongho knew he fucked up.

"I-I'm sorry Sang... I didn't mean to sound so rude"...

"I-it's ok"... Yeosang whispered. Coughing filled the quiet room and everyone turned to Seonghwa.

"Hwa"! San cried out. Wooyoung wasn't next to Seonghwa and was scared.

"I-I'm ok for now"... Seonghwa whispered. Jongho began to feel scared, not only for himself, but the others. Hongjoong had began crying softly and Mingi was trying his best to calm him.

"What's happening to Joong"? Yunho asked.

"H-his power is turning against him like Hwa's"... Mingi whispered. Hongjoong was in pain as he sat there. Similar to Seonghwa, his power turned on him, large vines wrapping around him body. He felt stabbing pains in his arms. Jongho, Mingi and Yunho showed no signs yet but they were all scared.

"I-it hurts so much Mingi"... Hongjoong whispered.

"I know... We'll fix this I promise". The older nodded and wiped his tears before Suho walked in.

"I see two of you are close to death"... He sneered. Yeosang looked up at Suho and ran to the bars, blasting ice shards towards him.

"You fucker"!! He shouted. Suho dodged the ice and chuckled before he walked over to him, flames in his hands. Yeosang moved back.

"I wouldn't test me... Unless you don't want your powers to work". Yeosang began to feel weak and dropped to his knees.

"Sang"!! Jongho shouted. Suddenly, a large blast of water drenched Suho, putting the fire out.

"Don't you dare hurt him"!! San shouted, his eyes bright blue. Suho growled and turned to San.

"You just made a big mistake"... He stormed over to San and threw it up, grabbing him and throwing him out onto the floor.

"San"! Seonghwa called before coughing. San groaned as he stood up.

"What are you gonna do"? He snapped. Suho chuckled and raised his hand and before San knew it, large vines wrapped around his body and held him in place.

"Just so your clear, you can't take my crystal. So don't even try it". San clenched his hands into fists and soon, hail dropped from above them. Suho was hit in the head and stumbled as San managed to break free. He ran forward and grabbed the crystals before running back to his friends.

"I got them"! San opened the cell doors and handed the boys their crystals. Seonghwa gasped as he felt his magic return and smiled, the burns disappearing. Hongjoong sniffled as his magic returned. The others were happy when they felt their powers return to them as Suho stood up.

"N-no! They don't belong to you"!! He shouted. San turned to him.

"They're OUR crystals. OUR powers! You can't take them from us"!! He shouted. The others ran over to him and stood by San's side. 

"Let's get out of here", Seonghwa spoke softly. San nodded and they all ran out of the building, Suho screaming at them to come back. 

"We have our powers back", Hongjoong said, smiling. Everyone was happy to have their powers but San was worried. 

"He'll come after us again. We need to think of a plan to get rid of him once and for all". The others nodded and they began walking before San coughed. 

"Sannie"? Seonghwa asked. San felt around quickly and his eyes widened. 

"M-my crystal... I lost my crystal"!!!
