Subterranean- Yeonkai

The airplane hangar

The trolley took off towards the black and red fortress. Kai was about to see the biggest exit in the city. He was about to see a hatch large enough to let planes out. Most importantly, he was about to see the planes.

They got their eyes and prints scanned then walked into the grand lobby. Jungkook walked until they hit the back wall. He pressed his hand on a brick and Kai watched a wall to the right open backwards. He walked inside with Jungkook trailing behind.

Thats when he saw it. A large hangar with 9 planes inside. An empty spot on the edge for the one surveying the globe. Their planes didnt look like planes. They looked like large thin sharp frisbees with 4 supporting wheels on the bottom. All were silver. Two of the planes had their shields being worked on. Kai saw the electric blue surrounding the planes glitch in an out as a team continued to work on it.

Jungkook walked Kai over to one of the planes being worked on. The legs that held the wheels had to be 8 feet tall. "The blue stuff you see is the shield I designed. Call it the dust repellant. It now is capable of absorbing bullets and say... rockets. It works kind of like a gel. It uses the momentum to spread their energy around the shield while the actual weapon part gets stopped to drop to the ground. That's partially why the design is like this so there's more area for the energy to go."

Kai walked around while continuing to listen to him talk.

"Im sure you can guess why else this thin design would be an advantage."

"Much harder to hit. Can go faster unless of course it was upright."

"Correct. I know you see it. What's the flaw? Why would these planes fail against you?"

Kai walked around one of the planes by the farthest wall. "All shields can be broken if you know where to break them. There's always a weak spot."

Jungkook joined his side. "And that is?"

"The pilot."

The commander didnt quite fully understand what the general meant but he let it go for now. "Ah. The plane is coming back. You can watch the transfer right now."

Kai watched the floor in the middle open up. He wondered why the planes were so close to the wall. Now he had his answer. "They exit in the ceiling and come in from somewhere else? How much dust repellant do you need to put on the ceiling for it to not fall through?"

"A lot and I showed you the outside. I just didnt show you where that room was. Thats the room they come through in."

"What else is in that room?"

"Why would you assume theres something else?"

"Call it an instinct."

Jungkook smirked. "Its not what you think. Its just where we keep our death row prisoners."

"Show me."

"As you wish baby."

Jungkook opened a small closet with his prints and handed Kai a contamination suit. They put the suits on and the commander asked "have you ever seen people exposed to the dust without a suit on?"

"No..." Kai had a bad feeling about this but it was too late now. It probably wasnt worse than he saw his dad do to people. Or even what he did.

The commander led his general to the same platform a plane was going on. The ceiling opened and it raised. Kai, Jungkook and the plane were now outside in the dust.

They watched the wings of the plane spread out like a ladybug. Two smaller wings on top with two larger wings extended from underneath. The frisbee design made a little more sense now. Every wing had a row of missiles attached. The top, between the wings, looked like a space for a gunnar although he didnt actually see the guns. On a countdown of 10, the plane took off to survey the globe.

Kai began to wonder what would happen if you exploded one of the missiles just as it left the safety of the shield. Maybe that would be enough momentum to break it.

Jungkook grabbed his hand and they started to walk a distance. Kai subtley looked around to memorize his surroundings. Their steps became hollow a half mile out from the ceiling of the hangar. Jungkook touched the ground and the platform descended.

Thats when Kai saw them. Alive but decaying prisoners in their cages. Their rotting flesh burned his nostrils. Feces and other bodily fluids were piled in the corners. Dust from the opening began to blow all over them from the wind. The prisoners started to scream as it melted their skin. Kai didnt see a single prisoner who had both eyes and all four limbs. He wanted to vomit at the sight.

Jungkook too had had enough. He touched the floor again and the platform raised. They watched more dust float onto the prisoners. Their screams were deafening until the ceiling finally closed.

Kai had seen a lot but that was something else. The smell was the worst part. Jungkook asked "are you okay?"

The blonde shook his head. "Its the smell. Its the fucking smell that gets you."

"I know. Come on... I think youve seen enough for today."

Kai happily agreed with that. Only thing he wanted to do now was go back home to watch anime and eat his feelings. They returned their suits to the closet and then he waited for the commander to be done giving instructions.

Jungkook called the trolley and set off towards home. He let Kai watch his anime while he went into his home office to do work.

Kai could hear him on the phone, yelling at various people so he turned the TV volume up. His stomach started to growl so naturally he grabbed a slice of cake from the freezer and started eating it. Ordering food wouldve been time away from watching his program.

Jungkook ordered them both some korean bbq and they spent the rest of the night watching the show together. Kai actually had fun. They started talking about non-work related things. They compared their crazy parents to one another. Talked about their adventures when they ran away from their parents. Jungkook even started rambling about his crazy exes which made Kai laugh more.

For one night the blonde figured... there were worse places to be trapped in. This one wasnt so bad.
