The Last Seven - a BTS AU Story

Chapter 15 - No More Hiding

It wasn't worth hiding anymore. The man finally decided to hunt down every last one of them...using the old techniques his ancestor Ciaran had once used on the seven princes of Violetta, back at the War of Universe. He had already sent a couple of alien bots to spy on the twelve boys, and they reported back with satisfactory results. He decided to bring back the deja vu.

 Taehyung watched the younger kids laughing so brightly. He couldn't help but smile inwardly. Oh how pleasant the days used to be, two months before the 'aliens' invaded. He was sitting on a huge rock facing the river as he watched the kids running around in the middle of the grass. The others were inside the cave, doing something so weird (Hoseok got hold of a recorder Yoongi had whittled out himself out of a kind of reed and was playing it with his nose, Jungkook and Seokjin were fighting again, Yoongi was sleeping as usual while Namjoon was giving an 'epic' singing performance but was actually breaking Jimin's poor ear.) Taehyung had stepped out to see the younger ones enjoy themselves. He temporarily forgot that aliens ravaged the land. He had his hammer clasped in one hand, just in case. Suddenly, something hard crashed into his head and he passed out. The last thing he had remembered was Kai's panicked scream before the world fell away.

"Hyung? Hyung!"

"God, that was too much blood spilled."

"Taehyung-ah, you're good?" 

Taehyung squinted his eyes to look at his friends staring at him worriedly. Yoongi saw him wake up and asked gingerly, "Tae, is everything okay?" Everything crashed into Taehyung's head all at once. "I heard Kai scream," he managed to say, "Where are they?" Yoongi nervously glanced at Hoseok, who inhaled deeply and said those dreaded words.

"Taehyung, the others are missing."

Taehyung shook his head. He didn't want to accept it. "No," he muttered, "It can't be..." "It has happened Tae, "Seokjin said dismally, "We were waiting for you to wake up to see if you saw who might've taken them." "I don't know, hyung," Taehyung replied. He scrambled to his feet and grabbed his hammer. "Then we're getting them back."

"No," Yoongi said, surprising everyone. "What?!" Seokjin said, rounding on him. Yoongi returned his glare. "I'm serious. It could be a trap." "Would you abandon kids for that?" Seokjin asked. Yoongi shook his head, his blank expression not changing one bit. "No, I never said that. We need to find them, but in a way they never expected." Jungkook spoke up for the first time. "We should wait till tomorrow." "No way," Jimin said. "Who knows what horrors could've happened to them." "There's this dream I had about the Violetta princes I had yesterday," Jungkook explained. "A girl called Ami and their five generals were captured. I wanna see how they got them back. Looked like they were really close to them so that adds to the similarities between our current situation." "From what I know," Namjoon said, "they did the same thing Taehyung thought of and got killed, ending the Violetta rule." Jungkook felt defeated. "Okay, we'll go, but we're somehow kicking their asses and getting those kids back."

Jimin led the small group through the hills and valleys to the back of the building. They all had their weapons clasped tightly in their hands and were ready to start fighting. But instinct told Jimin that they weren't there. But he kept going on. "Hey," Seokjin suddenly said, "I don't think they're here..." Jimin turned to him. "I feel so too, hyung," he replied, "But we'd better check it out, just in case." 

"You can't go there." 

The voice was a girl, mystical and kind, yet authority-filled. The boys turned to see the purple-haired girl standing behind them, her kind smile replaced by a look that plainly said that they were all dumb. Seokjin scoffed. "So what do you expect us to do, huh?" he said, "Sit around on our butts and wait for those alien bot things to send their bodies in bean bags?" "Hyung, calm down," Jimin said, "I know this is shit but at least consider the idea." "They're locked far, far away," the girl continued, staring dreamily into the distance, "back at Dream Glow." "Dream Glow..." Jungkook said, pondering, "Is your name...Ami, by any chance?" The girl gave a wan smile. "Glad you figured that out, reincarnation of Justin," she replied. The boys were stunned. "W-what?" Yoongi stammered. Ami sighed. "Guess I have to explain the full story to you then. C'mon, over here," she said before going to a place close to the quarters but covered with a sparkling purple dome. The boys, unsure of what to do, followed her.
