Fearless

Jeonghan stops in his tracks, Wonwoo running into the older's back, scowling. "Why'd you suddenly stop?" The beta backs away but stops speaking when he gets a good look of the distressed look in Jeonghan's eyes. They're spasming between the colors of his natural eyes and the secondary eyes. Wide and frantic.

"I... don't know. Something in me just felt off." Jeonghan breathes deeply, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You know what... change of plans." Wonwoo makes a confused noise but he's willing to hear the altercations. "I'll go get Joshua, go back and find Soonyoung and Jihoon. I have a bad feeling about something." Wonwoo doesn't ask without a second thought, turning around his path.

Jeonghan runs up another flight of stairs and hears a loud crash of metal. Down the halls, he sees a broken iron door and dust floating in the air. He sees a shadow in the dust and smells lavenders. The omega sees Joshua walk out of the cloud of dust and they both lock gazes with each other. Happiness overcomes the two, the older running to the limping man.

"You seem to be holding on just fine." Jeonghan relives with a sigh. The American rolls his eyes at his comment.

"You guys have no faith in me." They chuckle and pull apart.

Suddenly, a gun fires, hitting Jeonghan in the collar bone. The omega yells in pain but is quick to fall into his powers, eyes looking through the dust to see Jangmi.

"Did you not learn your lesson?" Joshua glares at the enemy who's pointing a gun at them. "You're just messing with another insane person, even more than me." Jangmi's eyes widen, looking at Jeonghan.

Bloodlust thickens the atmosphere when Jeonghan and Jangmi lock eyes. Jeonghan snickers, cracking his neck and knuckles despite the pain in his collarbone. "I've been waiting to pay you a memorable visit, Jangmi." Before the omega could move, the devil spawns right before him within a blink of an eye, a fist to the face before he's sent off to a wall.

"You rest, Shua. I got this." The devil disguised as an Angel grins hysterically, golden eyes wide with the intent to kill while Jangmi could only watch the grim reaper take his life away.

   Seungcheol and Seokmin are huffing, covered in sweat and blood as they look at the Hangyeol. The alpha isn't as tired, but with two skilled people on him, it was going to be difficult either way.

"Why do you defend him? Don't you understand our hatred? Our sorrow and grief for Dokyeom?!" The younger huffs, wrath spreading like a wildfire. Seokmin stares at him with a empathetic look.

"You were all close to him, I was his brother, but you were more like a brother to him than anyone else." The beta's heart breaks, knowing he hurt everyone around him. But the act wouldn't be forever, at some point they'd know. It's better than hiding the truth.

"I trusted you... I thought we'd be unstoppable, until you ruined it and brought back reality... how could you?" The alpha shoots his gun at a chandelier before diving to attack Seungcheol. The older leader quickly dodged the falling decor, blocking the knife with his gun.

"You took him away from us! You took our power— everything! We were supposed to be the rightful heir to the boss but you guys ascended beyond us." The younger man was truly devastated and losing his grip onto control.

   Hangyeol grabs another knife from his hostler and stabs straight into Seungcheol's thigh, earning a pained groan from the alpha. Before Hangyeol could grab his gun to shoot, Seokmin fires his gun but misses the enemy.

"Watching you is like watching my best friend betray me." The alpha growls. Seokmin switches his gun and fires the bombs that latch onto the enemy's sweater. Seungcheol kicks the younger away before getting up and fleeing. Hangyeol is quick-witted, discarding the sweater and taking cover as well.
