"Flight KR209 is boarding." The overhead speakers announced. Kyungsoo and I gathered our things and went to Gate A25. By the time we got there Minseok, Jongdae, Yifan, and Zitao were already in line. Kyungsoo tugged my shirt and pointed off into the distance. Yixing, Sehun, and Luhan were coming this way. A few feet behind them was Joonmyun with many more bags than when we got to the airport. Once again only Chanyeol and Baekhyun were missing. They were the most energetic of the 12 souls.

I grabbed Kyungsoo's wrist and pulled him into line. We moved slowly in line. I gave the flight attendants our tickets and a faint smile. She smiled back with and uncomfortable grin. We started boarding the plane. This would be my first time on a plane.

We walked through a strange tunnel-like thing and at the end was the entrance to the plane. I was only trusting a man-made vehicle because of Kyungsoo. I've seen too many accidents regarding planes, trains, and cars, but since it is a need to find Kyungsoo's stone I need to have some trust.

"Please proceed to the upper deck," one of the guys that were standing near the entrance spoke. Next to him, there stood a girl in uniform. She was wearing light blue with a sideways ribbon in the back of her hair. I guess I was analyzing her too long because I felt a slight tug at my shirt.

"Come on, West bought us expensive seats. We need to thank him later," Kyungsoo said. He walked ahead of me and went up the stairs to the deck. I bowed slightly at the flight attendants and followed Kyungsoo up.

When we got to the deck there were only a few seats remaining. The seats were in sets. I looked at my ticket: A27. I followed Kyungsoo until he sat down. I felt a slight tug in my chest when I read the number on the overhead compartment: A26 Kyungsoo tiptoed and tried pushing his bag into the overhead compartment. Seeing his struggle I pushed it in for him. He turned around in the tight isle and smiled then sat down. I was about to walk away when he spoke, "just sit here and ask the other person to sit in your seat. I don't want to sit next to someone suspicious." His voice was wavering and his hand was tightly gripping onto the end of my shirt. I smiled back and put my bag into the overhead compartment and sat down next to him. He let go and looked out the window.

Yifan and Zitao were sitting next to each other in front of us and behind Luhan and Sehun. To the right of us were empty seats and to the right of Yifan were Yixing and Joonmyun. In front of them were sleeping Jongdae and Minseok reading a magazine about Japan. I assumed all of the others thought similarly to Kyungsoo about exchanging seats.

As I started getting comfortable I heard a laugh that anyone could distinguish. Chanyeol and Baekhyun have arrived.

"You guys were late again." Kyungsoo said. "Sit over there and tell whoever sits there to exchange seats."

"That's smart!" Chanyeol said picking up Baekhyun's bags, "I'll put it up for you since you're too small." Chanyeol joked as he put them in the compartment. I looked at Kyungsoo and gave a small smirk. As Chanyeol put the bags in the compartment Baekhyun squeezed his way in between the seats and Chanyeol's body. He put his seat belt on reminding me to do so too.   

The seat belt buckle clicked right as an announcement came up.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." I looked over at a rustling sound next to me. Kyungsoo was having trouble putting his belt buckle together.

"Let me help you," I said grabbing the seat buckle, skimming his hands slightly. A warm rush fled through my body. I could feel heat rising into my face.

After a while of sitting in awkward silence another announcement came on. "We are ready for departure. Please remain seated at all times."

In front of me I could see Zitao's head rested on Yifan's shoulder and Yifan's head rested on top of Zitao's head. I could also see Sehun's arm patting Luhan's head and he was smiling. It wasn't often that that kid smiled. It was normally only around me or Zitao, but I guess he found an interest he would protect. I looked over to the right and saw Chanyeol and Baekhyun laughing the screen in front of them. Kyungsoo was looking out the window with distant eyes and look tired so I offered my shoulder.

"Kyungsoo," I said patting my shoulder. He looked at me wide-eyed and looked around to check for spectators. He leaned over and rested his head on my shoulder and spoke. "What if we can't find the stones?"

"Don't worry," I replied. Kyungsoo was always worried and asked a lot of questions when no one was watching. He looked up and his eyes met min. I smiled to give him reassurance, then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. He was probably tired from worrying last night. I put my ear buds in, closed my eyes, and went into a deep slumber.

I was woken up by shaking in the cabin of the plane. Baekhyun and Chanyeol were fluster and holding on to each other tightly. All the other people were looking around with worry filled eyes. Kyungsoo woke up immediately and opened the window to see what was happening.

The skies were grey and lightning was striking. I looked over to Jongdae and his hair had changed color.

"Jongdae!" Joonmyun shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Trying to redirect the lightning away. Something is targeting the plane. It's not normal lightning." He replied.

"This wind is picking up speed too." Sehun said, his hair slowly adding colors.

The rattling was getting rougher and people all around were panicking as the flight attendants tried to calm everyone down.

"Zitao!" I yelled, "freeze time and let me check out what's going on outside. Yifan come with me." They nodded.

"Be careful," Kyungsoo said as our fingers left each other. I grabbed Yifan's arm and vanished. We were outside standing on the wing of the plane. I grabbed onto Yifan and nodded. His hair color changed. He put his hands by his side and we flew up above the plane. Far away there was a floating person in the air wearing the Korean military uniform.

Essem.

I panicked and teleported back into the plane.

"What?!" Kyungsoo exclaimed.

"Essem is outside."

Joonmyun got up and started barking orders. "Sehun, put a ball of wind around the plane. Jongdae, direct the lightning around the plane. Chanyeol, Yifan, call your pets. Baekhyun, Yixing, and Kyungsoo help the flight attendants on reassuring the passengers. Others wait for later orders."

I stood as told and waited.

Luhan tapped Joonmyun's shoulder, "What do I do?" Joonmyung was shocked, "stabilize the plane." Luhan nodded. His hair turned pink and suddenly the ratting stopped. I stood up straight and the flight attendants did as well.

Everyone's hair was colored and their tattoos glowing. All but Zitao, Minseok, Joonmyun, and me.

"Minseok, freeze the water as I shoot. Jongin, bring us out of the plane. Zitao, you are our back-up freeze time in emergency only."

"mhmm," Zitao replied.

I grabbed their arms and we vanished. We were on top of the plane. To the left was flaming phoenix with Chanyeol riding on top and to the right was Yifan on his dragon. A striped line of lightning was running around a cloud of wind. Joonmyun has his water from the bottle floating around him. He formed an arrow-liked shape, "Minseok freeze." It froze.

He shot it forward and it flew forward headed straight to Essem and his uniformed men.
