The place wasn't even big... But it was intimidating and had many underground tunnels like a coal mine for some reason. It was an abandoned oil factory with barely any working lights. As I went though the door, I turned back to see Tao with a scared look, "Are you sure there aren't ghosts in here?" I stared at him with my not impressed look, "There are ghosts everywhere if you think they exist. Just don't think about them and think about saving Xiumin hyung for god's sake." Inside, the room looked gloomy and dark, with traps ready for us to fall into. I made myself glow so we can see better. "Well... Begin mission."
Suho: We survived for five minutes before we encountered our first trap of the day. "Suho... Step on that please." Chen pointed at one of the tiles in front of me. I hesitated and looked at him again. He nodded and pushed me gently towards the tile. There was a barrier surrounding me and I got trapped. The last thing I saw was Chen mouthing to be careful and Tao and Kai looking very shocked before I was taken down the ground and into the water. The barrier closed on me and everything went dark. When the place was clear again, I found myself breathing normal in a capsule of water. My mama symbol glowed faintly, protecting me from drowning and suffocating. I looked out and saw Xiumin... He was chained up and he looked beaten up. I wanted to scream and go to him but Chen came over, the fake Chen. "Look look, if it isn't the alpha leader of Exo, Suho. Welcome to my humble home."
Kai: I'm never going on missions again. There were traps everywhere, I had to be the one to activate them while Tao stops time so we could all cross before I finally teleport to them before it closes or really trap me. Finally, Chen stopped in front of a big door. "Hm... How are we all going to get in before the door shuts on us?" I went to him, "Dude, can't you just step on the buttons to activate them and pass through the door easily?" Chen looked at me, "Sure, it would be as simple as that... Of course not! Even when I do that, who's gonna control the electric barrier so you both won't get electrocuted?" "I can stop time..." Tao pointed out. "Listen, Kai you be at the button. Tao you run past the door when I got the barrier deactivated then you stop time so Kai can run through the door too. Wait... Damn it." Chen walked over to the door and passed through. Tao turned to me, "So... What's the plan?" I looked around and found a boulder at the side, "Ok, go near the door." Tao dashed towards the door and I rolled the boulder to the button and watched the door open. I charged towards the door and grabbed Tao. "Wait Kai... Don't-" I jumped towards the door and teleported.
Tao: I fell onto the ground with a thud. Before I could groan, I saw Kai. He was alive but was electrocuted a little bit. "Kai! Tao! Behind you!" Chen floated over to us. I looked behind and almost got hit by robots. I dodged and swept the robot's legs so it could fall. I picked up Kai and started running. Chen flew next to us, "I didn't tell you guys to go in without me!" "Mianhae, gege! I tried to stop Kai!" He turned around and pointed his finger at them. The robots immediately stopped and broke down from electricity. I pushed past a door and fell again onto the ground. "You two managed to survive... How nice." I looked up and saw the other Chen. He had a gun up to my face. The real Chen was mumbling curses as he tried to find a way to protect us and save Xiumin at the same time. "Hm... You are all really heartless... You let your leader be your activation key for the first trap so you can both go in." He laughed and I followed the direction he looked at. Suho was inside a capsule of water, his eyes were closed. "Suho hyung!" I screamed and tried to run to him. The kidnapper pointed the gun to my forehead, "Why trying to be a kind person when you used him in the first place?" I caught a glaze of Chen giving me a thumbs up and told me to continue my act. I caught my breath and was relieved that Suho was just acting. "Why are you doing this to us?"
"Why? Because I hate the fact Exo existed! You gave me pain so I give you pain back by murdering you all!" I used all my strength to stop myself from punching this guy. I crept to Xiumin and started to unbind him carefully without being noticed. "What is your real name?!" I heard Tao said angrily. "Hahahaha! I'm simply Chen of Exo! You don't see me!" This jerk... Taking my name and face, to step by step destroy Exo... All for... Loving Xiumin. I choked up my tears and finished unbinding all the chains was about to carry Xiumin away when something caught my eye. I stepped back and screamed at Tao, "Stop the time!" There was no reaction so I turned around and saw Tao busy fighting the kidnapper and Kai trying to stand up and help. Suho opened his eyes and kicked the capsule. He shattered it quickly and looked at me. I looked around wildly, time was running out... I pushed Suho to Tao and Kai, "Get out of here! Now! Tell Kai to teleport away!" Suho looked back at me, "Chen! What's going on?" "Suho! Just do it! You have to get out of here!" I screamed. Kai seemed to have heard me and took Suho's hand, "We need to trust Chen hyung! Let's get out of here!" Suho looked back at me and Xiumin hyung. I managed a smile and turned to Xiumin hyung. I'm sorry hyung... I couldn't save you... I slowly walked to him and hugged him tightly. Everything went dark... The last thing I heard was... Suho's cry of pain.
