Anyeonghasseyo... It's me Hyunbin again, and with another chapter of NBFTY, and I'd love to thank everyone that reviewed my story, and everyone out there, even the silent readers. I appreciate everyone reading :p...
And I'm so sorry that I took so long to update this, because where I am, it's flu season, and I became a victim (poor me). So now, I'm basically in my bed, as I right this. I'm hating the situation I'm in right now *cough*...
And also, idk why, but I can never find myself to be in the correct mood to write this story. You see, when I write, I have to get into the right mood. If I force it, it won't come out right, and it'll turn into a flop. Instead of NBFTY, idk why, but I've actually been more into writing my newest story, April Fools. I've been busy on that for the past week, because it's fun to write anyways. If you ever have the time, why not check it out? Please? Jebal? Haha, just some advice from me...
Anyways... For this chapter, I'm probably just going to be explaining of what happened, and then afterwards, I'm gonna let the pen take me to wherever it goes...
Plus, I also want to ask... Did anyone get it right? Were you able to guess what was going to happen? Why Sehun was where Averna was? I gotta say, I left a lot of clues, and only 1 person I know got it right. Do you know those clues? C'mon! Be Sherlock Holmes for once... Be Sherlock! *SHINee suddenly walks in the door*
SHINee : I'M SO CURIOUS YEAH!
HyunBin : Oh god! Be serious here!
SHINee : WHY SO SERIOUS?
Okay-_- lets stop before things get out of hand...
Anyways, I guess I'm now probably just gonna start off this chapter, and please forgive me if I made any minor mistakes in typing, because again, I'm just reminding you that I'm writing all my stories on my phone, and it's very easy for me to mispell words and all. Mianhamnida...
And now, without further ado, chapter 14!
Disclaimer : I don't own EXO, but everything else from this ff is mine, the idea, the sentences, the words, all MINE... And if I did own EXO, they would probably be staring in a movie called No Better Father Than You by now :p...
~oOOOo~
"TAO! STOP!". Tao knew that voice, it seemed familiar to him. Tao turned around, to see that the owner of that voice happened to be Luhan.
"Luhan-hyung, what are you doing here?"
"Tao, please stop what you're doing"
"What do you mean?"
"Tao, stop". It was another man talking. Tao's eyes had widened, to see that his father had just walked out from the bushes, and stood right next to Luhan. Other than that, more exo members started to walk out, both from dragon and wolf clan. Even Suho was there.
"What are you all doing here? What are you all talking abou..." Tao suddenly stopped talking. While he was yelling out to Luhan, he turned around to look back at Averna, and was terribly shocked to see the sight in front of him. Averna was gone, yes that's very shocking, but what made him freak out, was that at the same exact place where Averna was, sat another person, which happened to be so familiar to him.
"SEHUN?". Tao suddenly screamed in horror as he saw Sehun sitting in front of him, with his clothes ripped up, and his face covered with blood, which was coming out from his mouth. What had happened? Where was Averna? Why was Sehun there?
Tao looked at every single person there...
"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?". Lay quickly ran towards Tao and Sehun and quickly put his healing skills to work. Kris stood there, as he looked at his son.
"Tao, listen to-"
"I had Averna, she was here, and I could've ended everything. She was here. What had just happened?"
"Tao, you never met Averna today, it was-"
"She was here! I KNOW IT! If you don't believe me, Luhan-hyung, you can look into my mind and be a witness. And Suho-hyung, you saw Averna. She was here!". Suho looked at Tao, and said to him...
"Tao, it's not what you think. Averna was never here toda-"
"Then who did we see earlier?". Tao eyed Suho, demanding for an answer. Kris stepped up towards Tao, and said to him.
"Tao, it was all a test..." Tao widened his eyes when he heard the sentence which had just came out of his father's mouth. A test? What on earth were they talking about?
Luhan stepped up, and looked into Tao's eyes. Tao looked back at him, as he then started to feel his head being filled up with visions or something. Tao then knew what was happening. Luhan was showing him every single thing that had happened, and Tao was now starting to understand. Luhan's eyes turned goldish brown, as he sent in his memories of the past few minutes into Tao's mind, like a computer transferring data to a flash disc. Tao felt a bit of a tingling feeling as Luhan did what he did. Pictures came straight into his mind, so much, it was difficult for Tao to process it all, but he did so anyways. That moment, Tao saw everything Luhan saw.
#Flashback
Luhan and Sehun came out of the kitchen, into the living room as they quickly walked towards Kris and the others. "Hey Kris, where's Tao?" Luhan asked. Kris looked at Luhan.
"Tao went out with Suho just a few minutes ago. They said that they were going to try working out Tao's time control powers. Why?"
"I actually have an idea of how to unlock Tao's ability"
"And how are you going to do that?"
"Earlier, when I showed Tao the memories of what Averna had done, he felt scared, and other than that, he also felt anger in him, as if he was bubbling inside of him. And I have a feeling, he really hates Averna after what happened yesterday". Kris looked at Luhan and cocked his eyebrow at him.
"Yeah, I guess so, but what does that have to do with Tao's power?"
"Kai was right when he said Tao needs something to encourage him. And it didn't work earlier, because he didn't think it was much of an emergency, so he wasn't technically encouraged so well. So I was thinking , maybe we have to take it to the next level...".
"As in?"
"Use Averna..."
"WHAT?"
"Not really Averna, just her image...". Hearing the words which came out of Luhan, Kris widened his eyes and slightly clenched his knuckles.
"What if I say no to this?"
"No? Why?"
"Well, you saw the way Tao reacted to the 'encourages' you guys gave him this morning. I don't think he'll be able to take anything like that anymore"
"C'mon Kris, I'm sure it'll work, and Tao won't get hurt anyways. We have Lay here with us". Hearing the sentence that came out of Luhan's mouth, Lay widened his eyes and stepped up.
"Me again? Guys, you gotta be kidding me..."
"Um, why?"
"I mean like, I know I have the power of healing and everything, but I have my limits too you know. After that fight last night, I feel pretty exhausted, healing everyone here. If it were four or five people, I could do it without a sweat, but eleven is pretty much a lot to heal, not to mention healing myself..."
"Lay, please do this...". Lay looked at every person in the room. He sighed, and answered them with a nod. Luhan looked back at Kris. He said to him, "Kris, Lay is willing to do this. He's in on it. All we need now is your permission. Please give us that permission"
Kris looked down as he thought for a while. He wanted Tao to unlock his inner potential, but he was also afraid. What if Tao wasn't ready yet? What if they fail AGAIN? "Kris, please..." Luhan said. Kris took in a deep breath and looked at Luhan and the rest.
"Where do we start?"
~oOOOo~
"Okay, everyone got the plan?" Luhan said, as he stood next to Sehun. He looked at everyone who was currently infront of him, as they all nodded at his question. Luhan smiled. He then started to hope his plan would work.
Everyone there scattered around the field, ready in position, while Sehun and Luhan stood together. Luhan looked at Sehun, as he then spoke out a question...
"You ready?". Sehun looked at his older brother, as he then nodded. Luhan then opened his mouth and said to everyone there...
"Sehun and I are going now. Everyone, remember the plan. We'll be back as soon as possible...". Everyone nodded as they heard Luhan's explanation. Luhan then walked away with Sehun, but then stopped for a moment the second he heard a voice call out to him.
"Lu-ge!" Luhan turned around to see the owner of that voice, which turned out to be his old friend, Xiumin.
"HWAITING!" Xiumin yelled. Luhan could only smile at his old friend he finally reunited with.
"Ne! Gomawo!"
With that, Luhan and Sehun walked away together. This was it, the beginning of their plan. Luhan just hopes it works.
~oOOOo~
Luhan and Sehun walked to the park, where they saw the two people they had been looking for. Tao and Suho.
"Ok, so how do I get Tao to follow me?" Sehun asked. He had to admit, although he listened to Luhan's plan, he still was a little confused with the plan. But he knew, that all he had to do was do whatever his brother told him, and Luhan would take care of the rest. "Just stand there. Don't worry, I'll do the rest". Sehun nodded, and stood exactly where Luhan told him to.
As Sehun stood there, Luhan then looked at Tao. He blinked a few times, and as he did, his eyes shifted colors, from his normal brown eyes, into redish purplish color. It was a sign, that he was using his powers. As he stared at Tao, he concentrated, and began to enter his mind. Once he did, he began to do something in his mind. He began to put in a few images of Averna into his mind, but Tao didn't realize it a bit. It was like when a hard drive starts downloading things into your computer. Once it's in, It doesn't automatically open up the file, but you have to open it yourself later. Tao would only see it when he later opens it.
As Luhan did it to Tao, he also did the the same thing to Suho. He didn't want Suho to ruin his plan, just because he doesn't know anything. After putting those images into the two guys minds, he then noticed that the two of them were having headaches. Suho was trying to hold it in, while Tao let it out anyways. To Luhan, it was basically a sign to show that what he was doing was working. He then saw the two of them began to stand up from the bench they were sitting in, and then started to walk towards the apartment. This was it.
"Sehun, you ready?" Luhan asked. He looked at his brother. Sehun then nodded at Luhan as an answer. With that, Sehun stood there, as Luhan began to use his powers again. This time, he inserted images of Sehun into both Tao and Suho's mind. He then crossed their (Sehun and Averna) images. Why? Because by doing that, he can make them believe that their seeing Averna, when actually they were seeing Sehun. It was all part of the plan.
What was their plan anyways?
Luhan believes, that they can awaken Tao's powers by using Averna to encourage him. But of course, they can't use the real her, so instead, they use a decoy. For that job, Sehun volunteered. Sehun will be the one to fight Tao, and with the help of Luhan, Sehun will be able to look, sound, smell and feel like Averna, but only to the people who Luhan wants, and for this case, Tao and Suho. Everyone else will also get a role in this plan. But not right now, for later.
Sehun then stood there, as he also made sure Tao and Suho would see him (as Averna). The second they did, he saw the expressions on their face. They really did think he was Averna. A grin began to grow upon his face. "Wow, you're amazing, hyung" Sehun thought. Luhan smiled. He heard the words which Sehun had just thought, and he then sent him a message through his mind.
"Gomawo..."
Luhan saw as Tao and Suho widened their eyes, as they saw Sehun as Averna. He saw their reaction, especially the way Tao was gonna run straight for him. But then he frowned as Suho stopped him. Luhan grunted. If Suho stopped him, his entire plan would fail. No matter what, he had to get him away from Tao.
"Sehun, start to walk away...". Hearing Luhan's voice in his head, he then did as he was told, and began to walk away. After looking at Sehun, Luhan quickly turned his head back to Tao. He smiled. It was working. Tao was beginning to feel anger in his self, and Luhan knew exactly what he was thinking. He wants to chase after Sehun. The farther Sehun walked away, the more Tao felt the urge to just run over to him, until suddenly, he did.
"TAO! STOP". Luhan turned his head to Suho's attention. He then went into his mind. Luhan read Suho's thoughts, and he then realized that Suho knew that wasn't Averna. If Suho knew, and he told Tao, the plan would fail. They only had one shot at this plan. Once it failed, Tao will know everything their capable of, and they will never get another chance to awaken his powers. He had to get Suho to stop. He had to tell him. With his powers, Luhan then began to send messages into Suho's mind.
"Suho...". Luhan kept looking at Suho, as he kept running towards Tao, until suddenly, he stopped. Bingo! Suho heard Luhan's message. He then called him again.
"Suho..."
Luhan saw as the man held his head, and turned it back and forth, trying to find the source of the sound, but of course, that was something impossible. The reason, was because Suho kept using his ears to listen to where the sound was coming from, but it's not possible for you to find something like that. Because Luhan used telepathy, in other words, everything you're hearing is all in your head. You can't listen to it with your ears, only with your mind. Luhan then called Suho one more time, to make sure he really is listening. "Suho..."
"Suho, it'll be okay...". Hearing those words, Suho widened his eyes.
"What?"
"Everything's fine, Suho. Trust me on that"
"Who are you?"
"It's Luhan..."
"What? What's going on..."
"Just go with it. Don't worry about Tao. It's not Averna, nor is it a trap. It's just a test"
"Where are you?". Luhan the walked towards Suho as he tapped on his shoulder, shocking the man in front of him.
"Right behind you..."
"Gah... Hyung, you scared me"
"Mianhae. Just trust me. It's all just a test ~WOAH!"
All of a sudden, out of no where, Kai appeared exactly in between Luhan and Suho who were currently talking to each other. Of course, he teleported himself there. But it still pretty much surprised the two men. How would you feel if all of a suddenly someone out of no where appeared right in front of you? Course, I would be shocked.
"Hyung, we gotta hurry. Tao's almost at the field, and if he gets there and sees everyone there, he'll know it was all fake" Kai said. Luhan nodded at him, and said...
"Yeah, I have to go into his mind again, and make him believe that everything he sees is a part of Averna's magic" Suho looked at Luhan, as he then cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Wait, what?"
"Everyone's waiting. We have to go now"
"Come on Suho, I'll explain everything later". Listening to Luhan's explanation, Suho nodded as a reply. Kai then held out both of his hands towards Luhan and Suho.
"Come on...". With that, the two of them grabbed hold of Kai's hand, and in a sudden moment, they teleported back to the field that they had fought in the night before. There, Suho saw that everyone was there, except Sehun and Tao.
"Are they here yet?" Luhan asked. As he did, Xiumin looked at him, and shook his head.
"Not yet. But I think they'll be here s..."
"THEY'RE COMING!" Baekhyun yelled, as he then jumped off the tree and ran back to everyone else.
"I saw them. They were only about a few minutes away from here"
"EVERYONE! GET IN POSITION!". As Luhan yelled out those words, everyone ran back into the positions Luhan had told them to be in. He then climbed up the tree Baekhyun was in earlier, and there, he saw Sehun and Tao were running their way here. He saw something else. Tao was running with incredible speed. He was just so fast, Sehun had to use his powers (for those who don't know, he has the power of wind) to push himself. Maybe, without the wind, he might not even be able to escape Tao. Luhan then knew, that his plan was working. He could tell that Tao was using his powers. Tao was manipulating time, and it was all because he saw Averna. Luhan was right. Tao's powers were gaining.
Luhan then stared at Tao, and began to use his again. He started to send images of every one who came from the exo planet with him, and began to replace their images with Averna's powers, that way, Tao won't be able to see them. All he'll be seeing is Averna's powers. That way, Sehun (or in this case, Averna) won't only have one power. Sehun can only use wind, but with the help of his friends (and of course Luhan's telepathy and illusions), they'll be able to imitate Averna's power.
Other than that, Luhan also made an illusion for Tao, so that he wouldn't be able to hear every person that was there. That way, they can communicate with each other. Tao won't hear a thing. Even if Sehun yelled out loud, or if anyone at all screamed at each other, he still wouldn't hear them.
It only took a few minutes for Sehun to finally reach the field.
"GUYS! I don't know why, but just by Tao chasing me felt like a horror show. He's so fast! And the look in his eyes makes him look super creepy, not to mention his dark circles somewhat look darker!" Sehun said as he got there. After running, he panted so hard, he felt like he was gonna pass out, but he wasn't allowed to. He had to do this. Sehun then looked behind himself, to see Tao was now there at the field.
"GUYS! LUHAN! WHAT ON EXO DO I DO?"
"KAI! Get Sehun out of there!" Luhan yelled. With that, Kai quickly teleported from behind the tree, to where Sehun was exactly standing. He then took Sehun's hand, and teleported him back to that tree. Luhan had kept his eyes on Tao, assuring the illusions that he was giving him. To Tao, he would be seeing Averna standing there, then all of a sudden disappearing. Luhan noticed the expression Tao had on his face. He was completely shocked.
Luhan then started to send Tao a few whispers, but in the voice of Averna. This was the power of telepathy. With telepathy, you can do many things, because you're completely using your mind. With your mind, you can do many things. Some people even say that the imagination of the mind is nearly limitless. Luhan looked at his younger brother.
"Sehun, you ready?"
"Gimme a minute, I wanna make things dramatic by climbing up a tree..."
"Dongsaeng, don't do that. He'll see you climb"
"Not unless I help out..." All of a sudden, Kai held Sehun's shoulder and teleported him up the tree.
Tao then looked at Sehun with anger in his eyes. Suho looked at Tao's charcoal black orbs, seeing right through them. He saw all the anger and hatred he had been holding in himself, not to mention, that his inner power was also bubbling inside him. Suho was then impressed. This plan was working perfectly.
"Looking for someone?" Sehun said. It was actually kinda awkward, but to Tao, it was all serious. Tao looked at Sehun, and in his eyes, flames were all everyone could see.
"Averna..."
~oOOOo~
"Chanyeol! Gimme a fireball!"
"Heads up!". Chanyeol had thrown out a big red fire ball towards Tao. Tao saw that fire ball coming, and dodged it. Tao looked upset, as he began to run towards him.
"Yo Kai! Help me out!". Out of no where, Kai appeared right by Sehun's side and they both teleported to a different area of the field. Tao seemed very frustrated seeing that 'Averna' keeps disappearing from the battle.
"Tao's pretty strong" Chen said, as he saw Tao walk around the field, with hate in his eyes. Although he doesn't have the ability to read or see through minds like Luhan and Sehun, but he knew for sure, that hate was what filled his mind for the moment.
"Yeah, he is. I have a feeling that it'll be a bit hard for this plan to work with all that energy that's currently in him..." D.O said. As those words came out of him, he kept thinking of how powerful Tao can be sometimes, and the scary part is, that even when he's unconscious, he's that powerful. He then wondered how Tao might be like when he's completely in control. D.O remembered how Tao was able to freeze the time he used when he was trying to crush Tao and Suho. The way he felt like he blacked out. Had anyone else felt something like that before? He didn't think so. From what he remembers, and from what Luhan had told him, only he was the one who felt that way.
"...But I think I know a way to make him weaker..." D.O continued. All eyes were now on D.O. "How?" Chen asked. D.O then looked at Lay. Lay widened his eyes as he then looked back at D.O.
"D.O, I haven't done that in a really long time..."
"But I know you can do it..."
"Do what?" Chen asked. Although he was standing there as the two wolves talked, he still didn't really understand what they were talking about.
"Absorb energy". Chen, D.O, and Lay turned their heads to the man who had just spoken out those words, a man, none other than Suho. Chen widened his eyes, after listening to what Suho had just said. "What?"
"Have you ever wondered how healers often pass out when they use their powers to heal people? It's because they use up all their energy for that person, in other words, their giving away their energy. There are only two ways to get that energy back. There is : one, the human way, aka rest or just take a nap, or two, absorb other people's energy..." Suho explained. Chen looked at Suho and cocked an eyebrow at him.
"How do you know that, hyung?"
"Back on Exo, before the war started, I was quite close with Lay". Suho sighed, as he then looked at his old childhood friend infront of him.
"Lay, I actually think D.O is right. Tao will be quite hard to fight right now. I've been looking into his eyes lately. He doesn't want to give up. By the time his energy is out, Luhan might be very weak after using his mind powers for so long. You can help him"
"I don't know if I can still do it"
"I know you can. I have faith in you, Yixing"
Lay widened his eyes as he heard the name Suho had just called him. 'Yixing'. When was the last time someone called him that? Probably decades ago, before they left Exo, before the war had even begun. It was his birth name he had received from his parents. But then, there had been a massive tragedy that happened. One day, when Yixing was walking home from a friend's house, he was kidnapped. Ever since then, he never met his parents again. It was then Yixing changed his name to Lay. Everyday, he was treated as a slave. He rarely ate nor sleep. He felt like he was going to die.
By the time Lay's hopes were all crushed, it was all changed when he met another boy, probably a bit older than himself. He saved him. Until now, Lay still looks up to that boy, who everyone now knows as Suho. If it weren't for him, Lay doesn't know what could've happened to him by now.
Lay looked at Suho, with hope in his eyes. He's so glad that he finally met his childhood friend again. He was glad that the feud between the wolves and the dragons was now over, and he was reunited with his best friend again. Lay murmured out...
"Suho-hyung..."
"Yixing, I have faith in you. I know you can do it...". Lay then smiled, and nodded at Suho as an answer. Suho and Lay yelled at Luhan...
"LUHAN! We've got an idea". Without a moment to lose, Luhan read Suho and Lay's mind and smiled. It wasn't a bad idea.
"Kai! Help Lay out". Kai then nodded, and where one moment he was in helping Sehun, the next thing you know, he was right next to Lay. Kai held Lay's hand and teleported the two of them, so that they were both with Sehun. Afterwards, Kai teleported the three of them, so that they were all behind Tao. Lay then concentrated quickly, as he then placed his hand on the back of Tao's neck, and began to absorb his energy. Lay's eyes began to glow a bright green color as he did. Lay widened his eyes. Chen wasn't kidding when he said that Tao had a lot of energy. Lay suddenly felt so much stronger, and he also knew, that at that same moment, Tao grew weaker.
Lay stopped his actions the moment Tao dropped down to the floor. He then ran back towards Suho and the others.
"I knew you could do it..." Suho said to him. Lay smiled, as he then nodded at Suho. "Thank you, hyung"
Back with Sehun and Tao, Sehun slid a foot under Tao's stomach, and pushed him, so that Tao lied on his back. Tao grunted as he felt himself out of energy. Luhan, seeing Tao's condition, thought that it was finally time. "Kai, do you have it?" Luhan asked. Kai looked at Luhan and nodded. With that, Kai took out something from his pocket. It was a dagger, a blue crystal dagger. It was the Exotic.
With that, Kai handed the dagger to Sehun, as he then stood in front of Tao and held the dagger right above him. Kris, seeing the actions that Sehun was doing, widened his eyes. He then yelled at Luhan, "What on earth are you doing..."
"Kris, it's part of the plan-"
"I don't remember anything like this in the plan, and when did you get that from me?"
"I took it this morning" Kai answered. Kris sighed, as he then looked back at Luhan. "I don't approve of this..."
"Trust me when I say this will work..."
"Sehun! You better stop what you're doing right now!"
"Sehun, don't stop! Just do it..."
"NO!" Kris yelled with all his might as Sehun drew the dagger straight towards his son, but suddenly, that worried feeling Kris had in him suddenly disappeared. It was then replaced by a curious feeling in him. What he saw was completely amazing.
One moment, Kris saw his son was lying on the ground, with Sehun above him, about to stick the Exotic into him, yet, the next thing you know, Tao was now right beside him, with the Exotic in his hand.
"Looking for someone?" Tao said. Sehun looked at him and widened his eyes. Everyone then started cheering. "OMG! It worked! Luhan-hyung! Your plan worked..." Sehun stood up, but then he realized that Tao was still hallucinating.
"Luhan-hyung, what do I do?"
"I... I don't know..."
"WHAT?""
Luhan began to panic. Why? He knew his plan would work, and it did. But what he didn't think that something like this would happen. Tao was in his own mind. He was too focused on getting back at Averna, Luhan couldn't reverse the spell. Tao only saw what he wanted to see, and for now, it's Averna.
"HYUNG! WHAT DO I DO?"
Tao looked at 'Averna'. Although he did nothing, Luhan knew that everything Tao was thinking of. Hatred was the number one feeling in his head. He began to think of striking back at Sehun.
"Sehun, watch out. He's gonna strike! Chanyeol! Help him out!"
With that, Chanyeol, quickly through a fireball at Tao. He wasn't even thinking when he did that. What he wanted to do was to distract him, but what he did was a mistake.
Tao was able to stop the fireball, and to make it worse, he made it fly back towards Sehun and Chanyeol. The two of the quickly ducked away from the flying ball of flames as it smacked itself into a tree behind them.
"LUHAN! WHAT ON EXO DO WE DO!"
"We gotta get him off track!"
"HOW?" Sehun tried his best to get away from Tao, but it's like he's completely focused on his goal, and can't stop. Luhan then quickly read Tao's mind, and knew what he was thinking. He was thinking of many ways to get back at Averna. Luhan began to panic. Tao was more poweerful than he ever thought. Luhan kept thinking and thinking for a new plan, until he suddenly got something.
"Lay! Absorb him again!"
Lay looked at Luhan, as he then nodded at him. Lay was about to run towards Sehun, when suddenly, Kai was already right next to him.
"No need for you to waste your energy on running..." With that, Kai teleported the two of them so that they were right next to Sehun and Tao. Lay quickly put one hand near on Tao's neck, but before he could suck out any energy from him, Tao quickly pushed him out of the way.
"Tao already knows that move now..."
"What do we do?"
Sehun, Kai and Lay looked at Tao, and there, they saw something impossible. Tao was running with super speed.
"HE HAS TIME CONTROL AND SUPER SPEED?"
That's what everyone thought, everyone except Luhan. Luhan knew that it wasn't super speed, it was slow motion.
As Tao ran, he then suddenly pushed Sehun down to the ground, and with the total speed he had earlier, Sehun felt like he had crashed into stone or something. It hurt bad. Sehun then grunted of pain as he felt a thick liquid beginning to run down from his elbow, after using them to break his fall.
"SEHUN!" Luhan yelled. He was beginning to panic himself. He couldn't bare to see his brother hurt this way. Sehun was breathing heavily, as he now felt completely exhausted. He even began to shiver. Luhan felt like crying as he saw this scene. He wanted to save his brother so bad, yet he can't hurt Tao either. He didn't know what to do.
As if it were because of his own instincts, Chanyeol quickly generated a fireball, as he then through it at Tao. He knew Tao would freeze it anyways, but that wasn't the point. Chanyeol did that as a distraction for Tao. As Tao freezed the flying fireball, Kai quickly teleported Sehun out of there.
Tao grunted. To him, he had lost Averna again. He started to walk around, trying to find her, but he couldn't.
With that, Chen was quickly teleported by Kai towards Tao, with Sehun by his side. No matter what, if they wanted to get Tao by using their powers, Sehun had to be there, unless they wanted Tao to see powers that just came out of nothing.
Chen put one hand on Tao's shoulder, and began to electrocute him, but what shocked him (very ironic) was that Tao didn't look like he felt it. It was like he was immune to it or something.
"What on earth?"
Tao then turned back, and punched Sehun hard, making him fall back down. Sehun then stood up, as he then ran towards Tao and kicked him by the chest.
"Sehun! What are you doing?"
"By doing this, I'm thinking it might make him realize that he's not fighting Averna. I want him to open his mind and -Akh... Wha... AKH..."
As Sehun talked to Luhan, he didn't realize that Tao had already walked towards him, and grabbed him by the neck. Sehun looked at Tao, as he began to suffocate. He didn't realize that as Tao's full power was out, he litterally became more powerful, as in physically. His arm strength was stronger, and he ran faster too. He also had lots of strength earlier when Tao pushed him onto the ground.
Tao walked forward as he then held him up on a tree, still choking Sehun.
"SEHUN!"
#TING
Luhan felt it. He actually felt it. Tao pitied Averna. He actually did. In other words, he's off his goal. The spell could be undone now. Sehun was right. His plan worked. Luhan could now save him.
"Sehun! Keep him busy for a few minutes. I can do this now..."
Luhan then closed his eyes, as he then opened them again, revealing his bright violet eyes. It was a sign to show that he was using his powers.
As Luhan concentrated on his powers, Sehun still had to deal with Tao. Tao quickly dropped Sehun onto the ground. As he hit the harsh rough dirt, he felt tingles all around his body. He ached everywhere. His elbows still bleeding, his legs not supporting him, his head spinning around, everything in his body hurt. Suddenly, Tao grabbed onto Sehun's wrist, and slammed it onto the tree that was behind him. "Akh..." Sehun grunted out loud, as he felt his wrist probably crushed. He felt the rough tree bark brush itself onto his skin, giving the poor wounded wolf more cuts. Blood began to run down from that cut, and Sehun felt like crying.
"Tao, please I'm sorry"
"After what you did yesterday, I don't trust you-"
"No, you don't understand. Please don't hurt me...". Tao then tighten his grip on Sehun's wrist. "Akh!" Sehun looked at Tao, as he then began to speak up again.
"Tao, please... I didn't hurt your dad..."
Sehun was now actually scared. He looked at his brother, to see that he was still concentrating. He needed more time, and Sehun was sure that he could get him that time, but by doing that, was he also able to save himself?
It was a sudden moment, where Sehun was deep in his thoughts, he was suddenly awoken back to earth by a stun by Tao. Tao had quickly punched Sehun right below the jaw. That second, Sehun's eyes actually began to tear up. It felt a thousand boulders fell on him. It hurt so bad.
"Tao, I'm begging you. I'm tell the truth...". Sehun looked at Tao, as he then saw the look in his eyes. Anger. Anger was in his eyes. Sehun didn't want to see it anymore. He closed his eyes, holding back the fear in his chest, until he then heard someone yell out.
"DONE!"
Sehun opened his eyes, as he then saw a purplish-reddish mist begin to fill the air. Luhan the yelled with all his might.
"TAO! STOP!". Tao turned his head back and saw that Luhan was there.
"Luhan-hyung, what are you doing here?"
"Tao, please stop what you're doing"
"What do you mean?"
"Tao, stop" Kris spoke out. Not only did Kris step out, but everyone else did too.
"What are you all doing here? What are you all talking abou..." Tao looked back at Sehun. It was the first time, Tao saw what he actually did.
"SEHUN?". Tao suddenly screamed in horror as he saw Sehun sitting in front of him, with his clothes ripped up, and his face covered with blood, which was coming out from his mouth. What had happened? Where was Averna? Why was Sehun there?
Tao looked at every single person there...
"WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?"
#End of Flashback
"And that's what happened" Luhan said. Tao looked at Sehun, who was now currently being healed by Lay. Looking at Sehun, Tao then felt guilt take over his mind.
"Don't feel guilty. It was all part of my idea, and I knew the consequences. It's all actually my fault, Sehun's like this now"
"Again, I'm sorry"
"It's ok... At least now your powers are now all out". Tao chuckled, as he then looked back at Luhan. "Thankyou, hyung"
"Your welcome"
~oOOOo~
The flames of a few flickering candles were the only spots of light in that room. Books and pages filled with ancient scripts were scattered all around the floor, as one person sat in the middle of the all.
"Where?" Her eyes began to skim through words of the mythical language, none as Exolian.
"Where?" Her hands kept flipping through the pages, each flip beginning to grow faster and stronger, as anger and hatred began to fill in herself.
"WHERE?" She through the book across the room. Afterwards, she the stood up, and looked at every single page and book there. Her eyes began to glow a dark pink color, as a bright purple light began to shine in her hands, as she then blasted it out towards the books. Pages began to fly around the room, and Averna gritted her teeth. She was now furious. How long she'd been researching, but she couldn't find any information about it.
Suddenly, her eyes were caught by a single page that was flying in the air. It was different from the others. The color of the page was gold. She looked at the page, and she finally found what she was looking for.
"There..."
