Take Care, Jeon Jimin

Jimin's POV

You were falling fast asleep on a cot in the corner of Citrix's base when you heard the explosion from above you. Due to the explosion, little pieces of the ceiling tile fell on your face as the base's ceiling began to crack along a thin line. Lying on the cot, you wished you were surprised at the explosion but knew all too well who had caused it. Taejun. As you were forced awake by Citrix's firm grip on your arm, he led you to a secret chamber away from the main base. In the dim light of the hallway, you could see Citrix's sly smile that seemed to say, "Way too easy." 

But as you were led down the hallway, you heard voices in the main chamber. Way too many. 

"Tch. Looks like they brought almost half the league. This won't be as easy as I thought. Good thing my little buddies will be able to fuck around with them," he said as he continued down the passageway. Hearing his words, you looked at him strangely. Realizing his mistake, he whined. 

"For fuck's sake Mr.Small Dick, I don't mean literal fuck!"

Irritably, he led you through multiple passageways to a room with a couch and let you go. You heaved a sigh, holding the book in your hands as you tilted your head back, resting your neck on the sofa. Glancing to the side, you could see Citrix in front of a big screen with a gaming device in his hand. On the screen, it showed multiple Charms fighting off the highly advanced bots he had prepared. In the center of the chaos stood HD sect. 

Looking at their faces through the screen, you wondered how many days have passed since you've been with Citrix. You understood that he was a villain, but he wasn't necessarily bad. Now, you were split between which side to support. Watching intently, you saw Taejun run and kick at lightning speed, Necromancer and Same at her side. Looking at Necromancer made you ticked off, so you scoffed, crossing your arms. Maybe there was one positive outcome of this fight.

Taejun's POV

"These bitches never stop coming!" Puppet Master yelled as he tried using mind control over the bots. He was flipping his body and avoiding bots as best as he could. "My Charm can't hack into their systems! Damn! Citrix has everything figured out doesn't he?!"

"We need to take them all down in a blow! We can't afford to lose more Charms than we already have!" replied Same as she looked at the bodies littering the floor. Turning to you, she yelled "Mary! Get BOSS and do a 4-ring spin-around combination with an explosion!"

Listening to her intently, you nodded, turning to BOSS. BOSS's hands glowed as she slammed them into the ground, pulling up four metal structures aligned in the shape of a diamond. Pressing your foot hard into the ground, you launched yourself off the ground toward one of the structures, bouncing off the first and onto the second. Once you had gained enough speed, you pummeled yourself into the center of the bots, yelling "EXPLOSION!"

As your body slammed into the ground, breaking the metal, the area around you was engulfed in the same fire as the previous year. The members and other Charms braced themselves for impact as your explosion engulfed the entire area. When the surrounding area had settled down, the bots were destroyed. "Good thing Citrix didn't know about my Charm before he built his bots," you thought, standing up. You were glad that you had trained enough through the year so that your Charm was better controlled. Dusting the rubble off your clothing, you rejoined with the sect and the remaining Charms. 

"Good planning, Same," you said, patting the top of her head. She looked up giving you a big grin. You all then looked around at the surrounding area, there seemed to be no doors leading anywhere, which was strange. You were all confused until BOSS stepped forward, pointing to one of the blank metal walls.
