"Obsession" [EXO AU]

Ch. 1: Intro

A surge of fire and embers explode into the air. The small room is set ablaze as a pink haired man practices his skills. Using the simulation technology they have on hand, they can easily create clones of themselves to fight against.

What better way to train than with someone who possesses the exact same skill set as you?

The man continues to persistently spar with a mirrored image identical to him, except for a few obvious differences. The clone has a darker appearance. It was fierce, more sinister, and harbored a much harsher flame spirit than the original version had. However, he trains on unbeknownst to the door of the sparring simulation area opening up. A voice called out to him.
"Hey, Chanyeol. You still in here? That won't do you any good if you aren't going to get any better." A male with short black hair and buzzed sides walks in and leans against the doorframe with his arms folded and pressed against his body.
He has an all black military style outfit on and sports a blank expression. This particular man was the youngest on the team.

Chanyeol clicked his tongue upon hearing the irritating words which spilled from the newly entered male's lips. Chanyeol ended the program with a flick of his wrist. A few beads of sweat glistened on his exposed forehead. The ends of his pink colored hair were soaked from the workout and the intensity of the fire fluttering off of his body.

"Shut up, Sehun. Don't be a fucking asshole. I'm just peeved that we have to do this at all," He growls spitefully while he aggressively ripped off the augmented black gloves and tossed them onto the floor of the now all white encompassed room.
"Besides, I don't know why we have to humor this rescuing mission. I've been to Earth before. It wasn't very pleasant. All they did when we got there was try to kidnap us for our powers."

Chanyeol stated strongly and marched toward the door in a swift manner. Sehun was partially blocking the exit with his tall stature. He let out a quick breath of air that sounded closer to a scoff. Chanyeol's whining ticked the younger male off.
"Try? They did succeed, Chanyeol. It took us weeks to escape that horror house. All of us got locked up. Not just you." He squinted his eyes at Chanyeol who barbarously pushed passed him when he refused to budge from his spot. Chanyeol huffed and took a moment to stare back at Sehun.
"Yes, I'm aware. We've been there twice. The second time was deadlier than the last. However, why is there any reason for us to go back? We have been perfectly fine living on our home planet. Now the boss just wants to ship us back there with hardly any instructions, no backup, with a broken team and missing members. All for what? Saving those ungrateful, unprincipled, shit stains who enjoys torturing the only home they possess? Seriously? Some days I wonder where the fuck Sargent Coreander's head is at. Two years of peace and we are forced to squander it by helping the Earth alongside a mortal school girl? Fuck that."
He shook his head and was about to walk away when another teammate stepped out from around a corner. He had slick and silky silvery-white hair which was adorned with a matching white feather piece that's attached to his opalescent locks. This man has a pair of smoldering dark blue eyes and a smug grin plastered on his face.

"Oh. I don't know. It could be fun. Why not play along? Let the girl help us save her dying world. Let us use her for all she's worth and then we can dispose of her when everything is said and done. No one said we couldn't kill her afterwards. " He shrugged casually. He thought he was smart and had all of it mapped out. A creepy smile widens fully on the silver haired man's face. An eerie sight to see on this otherworldly creature.
Sehun snapped his head to attention and glared at the person who had just arrived.
"Baekhyun, as much as I also dislike the idea of traveling to that insignificant dumpster fire of a planet, we have to do what Sargent Coreander instructs us to do. She has taken away our powers as punishment before for not following the rules, do not think for even a second that she will not hesitate to do so again. Which means that we cannot kill the girl. If we show an ounce of defiance toward her orders, we can kiss our godlike abilities goodbye."

Chanyeol and Baekhyun bemoaned simultaneously.
"Such a drag." The silver haired man replied.
"So annoying." The pink haired man added afterward.
"It's an unfortunate situation we have gotten ourselves into, that's for sure." Sehun chimed in as well. He was disappointed.

"How did we even get here?" Chanyeol complained. His eyebrows were pressed together to create stress wrinkles on his forehead. He looked back at the door behind them. No doubt it was the room that harbored their unwanted guest.
