Shadows and Sparks (Yungi)

Ally

Yunho couldnt believe his eyes, yes he had expected to run into a few old friends, but not too soon, not this close.

Hyunjin smirked as he recognized Yunho. "Well, well, well, if it isn't my dear old partner Yunho. I see you've found yourself a new team.~ who've abandoned you i think"

Yunho looked around to find Mingi who was not in sight. Had that egoistic brat really abandoned him. Wait... the others were still there. He doesnt need to worry.

"I'm here to save you, Hyunjin. Just like I saved myself....from the villains," Yunho replied, his gaze unwavering.

Hyunjin scoffed, a bitter smile twisting his lips.

"You know, I used to be just like you. Hungry for power, driven by anger, consumed by a desire to show the world just how wrong they were about me. I told myself I was the only one who could see the truth—that the world needed to be torn apart before it could be rebuilt better. And I believed it. Just like you do now.   But here's the thing they don't tell you about the darkness: it doesn't free you. It chains you. With every scheme, every plan, I thought I was getting stronger. But I wasn't. I was building my own prison—one made of hatred, bitterness, and loneliness. And in the end, all that power, all that fear I spread—it meant nothing. I had no one, and I was no one. I see that same fire in your eyes. That same thirst for vengeance, the same desperation to prove yourself, to make them pay. But listen to me when I say this: that path leads nowhere. You think bending the world to your will is power? It's not. True strength is found in protecting those who can't protect themselves, in using what you've been given to lift others up instead of tearing them down.

  I was there. And I barely made it out. But you—you still have a chance to choose something better. Imagine using all that power to be a hero—to save lives, to inspire hope, to build something instead of destroying everything in your path. You could be more than just a villain in someone's story. You could be the hero this city needs.

It won't be easy. Redemption never is. But I promise you this: there's a freedom in being a hero that you'll never find in ruling by fear. There's purpose, there's light, there's something real—something worth fighting for. Don't let the darkness consume you like it almost did me. Be better. Be more. Be a hero."

Hyunjin's expression softened, a flicker of doubt crossing his features.

"You really think I can change, Yunho? After everything I've done?"

Yunho nodded emphatically. "I know you can, Hyunjin. I know you have the strength and the courage to leave this life behind and start anew. You just have to believe in yourself and in the possibility of a better future."

Suddenly Hyunjin's smile faded ,

"You'd always been this soft , but I'm not"

Without warning, Hyunjin lunges forward with lightning speed, a whirlwind of motion. His fist arcs towards Yunho's face, aiming for a decisive blow. The strike is swift and ruthless, a testament to Hyunjin's skill and intent. The power behind it hums with deadly precision.

In a split second, Yunho's instincts kick in. His eyes widen, reading the attack at the last possible moment. He pivots sharply, twisting his body just enough to avoid the strike. Hyunjin's fist grazes past Yunho's cheek, so close that he can feel the rush of wind it carries. Yunho barely manages to evade, his balance teetering on the edge as he stumbles back, adrenaline pumping through his veins.

Thank you Hongjoong and Yeosang.

He stands up again , with a fierce look,

"I might be soft, but you wont break me"

Yunho holds his hand  and his Shadow crawls out again

Without hesitation, the shadow lunges at Hyunjin with terrifying speed, moving like liquid darkness, its shape constantly shifting as it closes in. Tendrils of shadow reach out like claws, aiming to restrain or strike Hyunjin with precise, menacing intent.

Hyunjin reacts immediately, spinning out of the way, but the shadow is relentless. It anticipates his movements, lashing out again with a swift, slicing motion. Hyunjin's eyes widen as he barely dodges the shadow's sweeping strike, rolling to the side just in time as the dark claws rake across where he stood a split second before.

For a moment, Hyunjin finds himself surrounded by flickering tendrils of darkness, each one poised to strike again. 

"HELP PLEASE HELP"

Yunho's eyes open and he see's Shadow attacking Hyunjin, he cant go back to the same path again.

"Come back Shadow"

Everything goes silent as Yunho sits down and sees Hyunjin fainted. 

He decided to rescue any civilians first,

Yunho raced through the chaos and destruction that surrounded him, his heart pounding with adrenaline as he searched for any injured civilians in the aftermath of Hyunjin's rampage. Buildings lay in ruins, smoke billowing into the sky, and screams pierced the air. People ran in every direction, trying to escape the destruction wrought by the villain's powers.

As Yunho rounded a corner, he spotted a young woman lying on the ground, her leg trapped under a fallen beam. Without hesitation, Yunho rushed to her side, calling out to reassure her as he lifted the beam off her leg. He quickly checked her for any other injuries before helping her to her feet and guiding her to safety.

Yunho continued his search, moving through the rubble with determination and focus. He entered a nearby alley and spotted a group of civilians huddled together, looking terrified. He approached them slowly, offering words of comfort and assurance as he helped them make their way to safety.
He sent a message to San,

"I found a couple more victims , I've sent them to the border. Take care of them"

Hyunjin lay unconscious, his powers finally spent after the destructive rampage he had unleashed. Yunho felt a surge of relief knowing that the threat had been neutralized, but he knew that there was still work to be done .
As Yunho turned to leave, he froze in his tracks as he saw Mingi standing over Hyunjin, his hands radiating fire. Yunho's heart sank as he realized what Mingi was about to do.

"STOP MINGI" Yunho rushed and tackled Mingi to the ground
