"We're here to stop you, Maleficent," Namjoon declared, stepping forward with a fierce determination. The group spread out slightly, readying themselves for whatever the dark sorceress might throw at them.

Maleficent chuckled, the sound low and menacing. "Such bravery... or perhaps foolishness. You think you can stand against me? The most powerful sorceress in all the realms?"

"We know what you've done," Y/n spoke up, her voice steady despite the fear clawing at her insides. "You've twisted Simba's mind, brought chaos to this world, and we're here to end it."

Maleficent's eyes flicked to Y/n, her smile widening. "Ah, the little girl who brought them all here. How amusing. You meddle in forces far beyond your understanding, child. But no matter. Your interference ends now."

With a flick of her wrist, Maleficent conjured a burst of green fire, sending it hurtling toward the group. They scattered, narrowly avoiding the flames as they slammed into the stone floor, leaving scorch marks in their wake.

"Spread out!" Taehyung shouted. "Don't let her pin us down!"

The group split up, moving around the edges of the throne room to flank Maleficent. But she was prepared, summoning dark tendrils of shadow from the ground that lashed out at them, forcing them to keep their distance.

"She's too strong!" Hoseok yelled, ducking under one of the shadow tendrils. "We can't get close!"

Y/n's mind raced as she tried to think of a way to counter Maleficent's magic. The sorceress was clearly powerful, and they were at a disadvantage in her domain. But then she remembered the relic—the glowing object they had seen in her hand earlier.

"That relic!" Y/n shouted. "It's the source of her power! We need to destroy it!"

Maleficent's eyes flashed with anger as she realized what Y/n was planning. "You will not touch it!" she hissed, raising her staff to summon another wave of dark magic.

But before she could attack, Jungkook charged forward, using his makeshift spear to knock the staff out of her hand. It clattered to the floor, and Maleficent snarled in fury, but her focus was now divided.

"Now!" Namjoon shouted. "Go for the relic!"

Taehyung and Yoongi sprinted toward the throne, where the relic lay on a small pedestal beside it. But Maleficent wasn't going to make it easy. With a furious gesture, she conjured a barrier of green flames around the relic, blocking their path.

Taehyung skidded to a halt, frustration flashing in his eyes. "We can't get through that! It's too strong!"

"We have to find a way," Y/n said, determination hardening her resolve. "There has to be something that can weaken her barrier."

Jimin, who had been circling around the room, suddenly had an idea. "The Magic Mirror!" he called out, pointing to the large mirror on the wall behind the throne. "It's tied to her power! If we can break it, it might weaken her magic!"

Namjoon nodded, quickly forming a plan. "Hoseok, Jin, distract her! The rest of us will go for the mirror!"

Hoseok and Jin immediately launched into action, hurling whatever objects they could find at Maleficent to keep her occupied. Meanwhile, Y/n, Namjoon, Taehyung, and Jungkook made their way toward the mirror, dodging the tendrils and flames that Maleficent threw their way.

The mirror loomed before them, its surface rippling with dark energy. Y/n could see her reflection distorted in its depths, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

"Together!" Namjoon shouted. "On three!"

The four of them grabbed whatever they could use as weapons—spears, branches, even broken pieces of stone from the floor. They raised them high, ready to strike.
