Shield Of ITZY:Storm Arc

Replay 2019

It was 11:58 a.m., and Itzy was already seated, looking at the large crowd lined up to meet them. In just two minutes, they would officially start. Yeji was seated the furthest away from the steps then it was Lia, Chaeryeong, Ryujin, and then their Maknae closest to the line. Yuna saw two men in black suits walk up the steps. The first one she saw was Specter. He had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and wore a different mask. It was a black oni mask that covered his nose down to his jaw. It was strapless and she wondered how it stayed on. The one that followed him was the nerd from earlier. He had this different aura though. He looked more hardened and serious. He had his hair slicked back and his glasses were nowhere to be found. He made his way to where Yeji was. Specter stopped at the side of Yuna's table. 

Yuna: Are you okay? Sorry for asking something personal that you bit your own tongue off. -Yuna said apologetically. 

Specter: It's okay Ms. Shin. I know that you guys were just curious. Don't worry about it.

Yuna: You can talk! - Yuna said in disbelief

Specter: Of course. A wound that small is no problem to me.

Yuna: You are amazing! 

Specter: You just now realized. Pay attention Ms. Shin. They're coming. -Specter indicated with his head as the crowd started to come up the steps.

Specter: Good luck, my Queen. -Yuna just smiled at Specter as the first person came up to greet her.

Oliver was standing next to Yeji as she was signing a fan's photocard of hers. It has already been 40 minutes since the event started. It looks like Yeji hasn't realized that he was the "nerd" from earlier. Thank goodness because he just wanted today to be a breeze and didn't want to talk about the incident. Oliver saw his girls enjoying their time as he stood there with a smile on his face. Oliver then caught a glimpse of a man. He was cutting the line from the far back. Pushing his way though the crowd. He looked like a sweaty, creepy, and dangerous guy. He had some time to contact Specter about the problem. As soon as he grabbed his radio Specter spoke first, "I believe you got this one." Oliver just scoffed as he put his radio back. The guy was already in front of the platform. Oliver made his way to the front. They creep cleared the 8 feet and made it the platform. Landing on both of his feet. Oliver could see that he looked almost like he did this morning. The only difference is that he was wearing a regular plain white shirt. Everything else made Oliver want to change up his "nerd" appearance. This man was about 1" shorter than him but he could feel the aura around this man. He was about to risk it all here. The Midzys on the platform looked over at the man. This led Itzy to look at the man as well. He was now crouching, pulling out some papers from his backpack. Oliver could already see what it was, marriage papers. All Oliver thought in his head was, "Is this 2019?". The man then stood up and spoke.

Creep: CHAERYEONG! PLEASE MARRY ME!

The entire building was now in panic especially Chaeryeong. As soon as the Creep said this, Midzys from below attempted to jump the 8 feet and get the Creep away from Itzy. As Midzys tried to make their way up, they were pushed back by an invisible force. Launching them back into the crowd, hurting others as they landed. 

Oliver: EVERYBODY! STEP AWAY FROM THE PLATFORM! I WILL HANDLE THIS! Oliver's voice boomed.

Oliver can see that his backpack had an emitter in it. The Creep had placed it near the end of the platform, so that if anybody tried to interfere from below, they'll be pushed back from energy waves produced by the emitter. It seems like the range wasn't that big considering he had to place it almost at the edge of the platform. The Creep grabbed something from his khaki shorts. It was a disk and he armed it and threw it towards the stairs. However Specter caught it mid-air surprising the Creep. Specter took a good look at it and set it on the stairs. Oliver knew that this would prevent other Midzys from trying to play hero. It was a disk version of the emitter so if anybody stepped into its radius, it will push them back. The only problem was the 5 Midzys that were still on the plat form. Sensing his concern, Specter spoke, "You five, over here!" Specter shouted to the five Midzys. They quickly rushed behind the tables with Itzy. With that out of the way, Oliver can now worry about the Creep.

Oliver: What is it that you want?

Creep: I just want Chaeryeong's signature, that is all. There was desperation in his voice.

Oliver: I can not let that happen. Chaeryeong does not know you like that.

Creep: She's said it on multiple vlives! She said she loves me!

Oliver: I am pretty sure that she meant Midzys as a whole, not just you.

Creep: NO! NO! NO! I KNOW SHE MEANT ME! The creep was furious and filled with delusion.

Oliver: I can not let you pass.

Creep: Then you will die. The creep pulled out a knife. A single hand handle one with a 12" silver blade. 

Oliver: Come get some then. -Oliver put his hands in his pockets as he stared down the Creep.

The Creep rushed Oliver, ready to plunge the blade deep into his Stomach. Oliver just side-stepped to his left, making the Creep hit air. The Creep then slashed where Oliver was but Oliver back stepped, a second miss from the Creep. The Creep went for a second stab but this time Oliver caught his hand. The Creep tried to pull but it was futile. Oliver squeezed hard, making the Creep drop his knife as Oliver side-kicked the Creep in the stomach. Sending him flying across the platform. Oliver picked up the knife and tossed it high in the air towards Specter. Specter lifted is left leg up and performed an axe kick, breaking the knife in pieces. Oliver walked towards the Creep. The Creep was on the ground facing away from Oliver. Although he was down, he had an ace up his sleeve. He could create an energy blade made up of Divine Energy. He would create one in a couple of seconds and toss it at Oliver. He hid his right hand and started to form the energy blade. Oliver was a couple of feet away, the perfect distance for the throw. It meant less of a chance for him to miss and for Oliver to dodge out of the way. 8 feet, 7 feet, 6 feet, 5 feet, 4 feet, and then the Creep turned and threw the blade. The blade however hit air and hit the wall on the other side. The Creep looked as Oliver had shifted his upper body to his left, completely avoiding the blade. How could Oliver know to move out of the way? There was no way that he knew he could create an energy blade. It was as if Oliver could already see the blade before the blade was tossed. Before the creep could think anymore, Oliver rushed the Creep. He performed a front kick, landing it right in the center of the Creep's face, sending him flying off the platform. Instead of flying off, he flew back towards Oliver, just to get clotheslined by him. It was overkill since the Creep had already been knocked out by the kick. 

Specter: We're not down yet. - Specter walked towards Oliver.

Oliver: What do you mean?

Specter pointed in front of the platform. The emitter was now out of juice as 10 guys cleared the 8 feet. All landing on the platform, ready to fight. 

Oliver: This remind you of 2019? 

Specter: This time, I'm going to keep the credit. - Specter said as he tied his hair into a ponytail.

Oliver put his hands back into his pockets and Specter straightened his posture with his hands at his sides. Out of the 10 men, 2 pulled out handguns, 1 pulled out a sword from thin air, another pulled out a bo staff, and the rest were unarmed. 

Specter: Is that all that they have?

Oliver's pupil began to swirl and take the design of the Milky Way. Shades of multiple different colors faded in and out. He started at the men.

Oliver: That's all that they have. They are all humans who use Divine Energy. 

Specter: That's good. Don't want to deal with one with Spirit Energy. - Specter then reached to with his right hand to the left side of his hip. He pulled a sword out of thin air. Small gold chains swirled on the wooden single handed handle. A silver 16" blade that had a slight curve to it. There was no guard which meant that if Specter wasn't careful, he could cut himself. He wouldn't though because he knew his blade and it would guide his hand where it needed to be. 

Oliver: You ready?

Specter: Always.

Oliver and Specter both charged into battle.
