Chapter Text
Elliott gets blown back by a blast of volatile chemicals from Nils' compounds. His Aura Shield is weakening with every hit he takes, only down to 25% before it can shatter. Nils laughs at the boy as he readies up a blast of dark magic in his palm. He cackles maniacally. "Silly child! You never stood a chance against a Diva! Say your prayers to your god!" Nils fires the blast at Elliott, destroying whatever remains of his shield, sending him flying back from the impact.
Hyejun manages to reach Elliott before Nils started charging up another blast. "Oh, another human who wants a piece of my power. See if you can survive this blast weakling!!" He spits out as he sends another blast for Hyejun. Hyejun summons a magical barrier to shield himself from the blast, until he heard someone yelling?
"YAAAAAA!" A giant hammer smashes the blast into smithereens, and from the smoke revealed a woman who had greyish blonde hair. She stood tall and proud with a hammer whose colors resembled a lollipop. "Are you kids alright?" She turns around and it turns out to be...Nayeon from Twice?? Hyejun rubs his eyes, he can't believe it!
"No way, are you Im Nayeon-noona of Twice??" His tone mixed with both excitement and confusion. He let his barrier down as Elliott's Aura Shield finally fixed itself, allowing him to fight again. Elliott stares at Nayeon with wide eyes.
"NO FUCKING WAY IS THAT NAYEON???" He screams out in delight as he met an idol from his favorite groups.
She giggles and shows off her smile, her cute bunny teeth shining bright. "The one and only!" She shrugs before a screechy sound was made behind them. Nils started his tantrums again. "Are you fucking kidding me!?! I almost had that stupid little worm dead and YOU had to get in the way you stupid CUNT!!" The last word echoing throughout the street, now Nils managed to incite the rage of 2 Agents and a battle-ready idol.
"Wanna say that again chemical brains?" Elliott points his guns at Nils once again as Hyejun summons his sword.
"12, what do you think we should do with this disgraced scientist trash?" He prepares his spells and holds his sword with both hands. Nayeon comes in and holds her hammer.
She huffs and looks at the scientist. "Now scientist-nim, who taught you how to talk to a woman like that? I bet your mom would be disappointed about that." Nayeon, Elliott, and Hyejun proceed to rush at Nils as he lets out a shriek.

Yves is running away from Grimselda, who is sending down explosive balloons at her, causing blasts to set off left and right. "Why run kid? Afraid of some jokes?!" She cackles maniacally as she sends more balloons down, which in turn launches Yves away with the blast.
Yves lands on her feet before she falls to her knee, using her hockey stick to prop herself upright. "Shit, tiny lady has tricks up her sleeves, but man does she suck at close combat. Hey oldie locks! You done throwing balloons and ready to take me on like a real fighter?" She struggles to pick herself up as Grimselda hops off her floating ball and walks up to Yves.
"Learn to bite your tongue superZERO." She proceeds to slap Yves across the face, sending the girl stumbling back with a pissed look on her face. "Now, I will gut your whole body from hole to hole and hang you on my trophy wall!" Grimselda pulls out a chainsaw from nowhere and attempts to slice at Yves, before being stopped by a large silver claymore with gold designs on its hilt and guard. A muscular man stood with all white clothing and his back area exposed open, his blonde hair shining bright as he's holding Grimselda back. This block was followed up by a kick from another person, a woman with black straight hair and a white top and grey skirt.
Yves looks at her saviors and it turns out to be...Wonho and Jisoo?? "...am I dying...?" Yves looked at the two, completely starstruck and enamored by how beautiful both of them are. She stares at both of them while they check up on her.
“Are you okay? Have you suffered any injuries?” Wonho hovers over her while Jisoo’s hands glow a soft yellow. Yves discovered one thing, some idols also had magical abilities like the rest of us Mages.
Jisoo stops over her arm and lifts Yves’ sleeve up, revealing a scrape she endured. “Oh my, I’ll need you to stay still for a few seconds.” She says as her hands glow brighter, closing up Yves’ wounds like nothing.
“I’m fine now, thank you Miss Jisoo.” She bows her head before Grimselda stood up while grabbing her torso, Jisoo must’ve left a mark if she’s stumbling.
Grimselda starts growling. “You cheater! Didn’t your mommy ever tell you that you’re supposed to play fair?! And how the hell did you guys come by? You’re all old!!” She spits out as Wonho and Jisoo looked confused.
Yves realizes why they look so young. “Did you guys come from the past? No wonder why you guys still look young.” She brings out her hockey stick once more to prepare for combat.
“I don’t know what happened, all I know is that when a young lady is in trouble, I’m ready to help her.” Wonho wields his claymore over his shoulder while Jisoo whips out a wand, an ivory wand that is adorned with opal decorating and silver accents. “If you want a fight, I’ll give you one. I don’t take lightly to those who hurt people younger than them!” Wonho and Yves rush at Grimselda as Jisoo casts a spell against her.
-
Ricardo growls as he and Nathaniel are pretty injured. Nathaniel holds onto his arm, closing up without any magic. “Ngh…you fight well kid, but not well enough. You’re very skilled with a blade, I’ll give you that, but it won’t be enough to get rid of me, little kitty.~” He walks up to an injured Ricardo and picks him up by the collar.
Ricardo groans as his fresh leg wound had opened up again. It hurts like hell, sending shockwaves of pain throughout his body. “Fuck! Agh! You must be behind on skill if I managed to get a few licks in. Also, why call me kitty? That’s so we-“ Ricardo is interrupted by a slap from Nathaniel.
“Quiet you! You new age humans really never learn your place do you? Let me remind you,” Nathaniel nears his face towards Ricardo’s, “you are nothing but soil beneath my feet.” He growls the last line in his face and pulls out a pistol and aims it at Ricardo’s face.
“I’d hate to let you go little kitty, but maybe in your next life, you’d be better at killing me.” He chuckles as Ricardo tries to punch his way out of his grip. “Let me go! Get your hands off me you creep!” He yells.
Just as Nathaniel is about to pull the trigger, a shield comes flying at him, breaking his arm and allowing Ricardo to escape his grasp. Nathaniel’s gun arm was also hit with a few arrows that pierce through his whole arm. Ricardo kneels so he can get a good view of the people who saved him, their faces are a little blurry from the dirt in his eyes, only able to make out their blue jean overalls and white plain tee under. One had platinum hair and the other with black hair.
“Hey! Get your grubby hands away from him you creep!” The platinum haired man said. He drew his bow and arrow while the black haired man caught his shield to bring out with his sword. “Beomgyu, don’t try to anger him, we don’t know what he’s capable of.”
Ricardo wipes his eyes at the mention of Beomgyu. Once he looks up, he realizes that he was saved by both Soobin and Beomgyu, thinking to himself, ‘Ha, if only Elliott got saved by these two, he’d freak out.’ He slowly stood up and drank his health potion after realizing his wounds are too limiting.
He wipes his mouth of the red liquid and stares at the two. “What brings you guys out here? I didn’t think idols would be doing the dirty work?” He chuckles as Soobin and Beomgyu look at each other.
Soobin spoke up. “Actually, we heard a voice calling out to us for assistance, next thing we know, we’re saving you from whoever this guy is?” Soobin pulls his shield up, it’s like an exact copy of the Hylian Shield and the Master Sword.
Beomgyu chuckled a bit while playing with his bow. “Wow Soobinie hyung, we leave the others for a few seconds and we already get pulled into the future! Must have bad luck with you.” Beomgyu laughs as Soobin scoffs at his comment.
Nathaniel pulls out the last arrow before his wound heals around it. He launches it at Beomgyu, fortunately it zips right past his head. “You bastards! You are a fucking disgrace to magic kind! I’ll make sure that you never return to the past!” Nathaniel summons a vortex behind Soobin and Beomgyu, luckily the two roll out of the way before it absorbed them, at the expense of a few market stalls.
Ricardo pulls out his rapier once again, ready for combat. “You sick creep. Do teenagers satisfy your thirst for blood? Disgusting.” Ricardo and Soobin charge at Nathaniel as Beomgyu takes position on a rooftop.
-
Bridgett and Quintessa clash with each other while causing damage to the surrounding area. David looks at the vitals screen and notices 7 fuzzy icons. As they clicks them, the names of the past fighters appear, Nayeon, Wonho, Jisoo, Beomgyu, Soobin, ???, and ???, the last two icons still owning the same static that the others had.
“Who are these guys? I thought the Korea division were on training?” They muttered to himself while typing away at their keyboard.
Bridgett pivots with her naginata and smacks Quintessa with a horse kick, sending the silver woman back. Quintessa sends out some light beams, with Bridgett dodging all of them until Quintessa gets up close and punches her face 3x. Bridgett blocks Quintessa’s final punch and proceeds to choke slam her into the ground. She quickly gets off and summons a wave of water to wash Quintessa away, slamming her to a building wall. As the rubble cleared, Bridgett realized she was standing on a trap from Quintessa and was promptly frozen in place by a sub-zero blast, her Aura Shield keeping her alive.
Quintessa stands up and limps towards Bridgett. “You’re stronger than before Thrones. You managed to get me good! Not good enough.” She pulls out a dagger from her tome. She trails the blade down her collar and raises it to stab her. “Forgive me for this Thrones, your death is much needed for our master. Your soul is rich in that fighting spirit he desires.”
Just as she speaks her last line, she was promptly shocked by David’s lightning bolt from their flying saucer. Just then two new fighters enter the fray. A calico cat with yellow eyes scratches Quintessa’s eyes and steals her tome, while a man with long black hair slides into the battlefield and kicks Quintessa’s ankles, making her fall on her back.
Bridgett finally breaks free from her ice prison and looks at the fighters. The calico stands up and slowly forms into a young woman with long, straight, black hair. She had a long sleeved white top and a long black skirt that reached her knees. The man stands up and reveals his wavy long hair and alluring eyes. His black beanie and outfit fit him really well.
David takes a double take and realizes that those two fighters are Hyunjin of Loona and Suga of BTS. “Holy shit. Hyejun really unleashed his whole power.” David realizes that an earlier vision was exactly what happened, Hyejun casts a time spell to bring past warriors into the future.
Bridgett wipes off some frost from her suit. She looks down at the pair and grins. “Nice save you two. Are you guys some vigilante fighters or something?” She asks. David opens up Bridgett’s transmission line.
“Captain, those two are from the past. Turns out that our New Agent 4 managed to summon 7 fighters to assist us in the present! The wonders of ancestral magic…” David closes the line and looks back at the two.
Hyunjin holds the tome in her arm and looks up at Bridgett. “Thank you miss.” She bows. “I am Kim Hyunjin, it’s kinda funny how I came here. One moment I’m in Japan for a photo shoot and then I’m back in Seoul!” She laughs.
Yoongi waves and bows at her. “I’m Min Yoongi, also known as Suga of BTS. I don’t know how I ended up here. I was walking through the airport and heard a voice calling for help. When I turned around, I was right behind the fight.” He spoke in a soft tone, it tingled in Bridgett’s ears.
Quintessa stood up while grasping at her left eye, thanks to Hyunjin for scratching it. “You will pay for this! It took forever for me to get this look!” Quintessa shoots a blast at Hyunjin, unsuccessful as Yoongi deflects it with his knives, causing a large explosion that knocks all of them back.
Bridgett brings out her naginata, Yoongi holds some throwing knives with him, and Hyunjin summons her cat claws in place of her regular nails. They charge at Quintessa, only to get interrupted by Nils, Nathaniel, and Grimselda getting launched back into the center, with Quintessa stealing her tome back from Hyunjin.
Hyejun, Elliott, Yves, Ricardo, Nayeon, Wonho, Jisoo, Soobin, and Beomgyu run to Bridgett’s side to face the 4 Divas. “Captain! Are you alright?” Elliott skids to a halt.
“We came as fast as we could! Oh and we managed to round up a Diva along the way too.” Yves smiles brightly as the idols ran to a halt.
They all look at each other and wave and greet each other. A couple of “You can fight too?” and “Wow it’s so nice to see you!” later, they turned back to the 4 Divas.
“I don’t know about these guys, but they’re outmatched 4 to 13. Unless they’re ready to forfeit, I think we can take them all down.” Ricardo points his rapier at the Divas.
Quintessa claps her hands as the Divas get into formation, each fighter is ready to take on their enemy. “Divas! We may be outnumbered, but remember your strengths and abilities!” She summons a staff, Grimselda takes out her chainsaw, Nathaniel brings out a poleax, and Nils pulls out his tablet. “We bring despair and destruction to the land! To plunge the world in desolation and defeat! We are, the Divas of Destruction!” They all shout it out, creating a giant force field dome that covers the giant crosswalk street thing.
All fighters inside the force field began to fight. Nils summons a flail from his tablet and swings it around in an attempt to hit Elliott, making Nayeon step in and bludgeon him with her large hammer. Hyejun follows up that attack with a magic slice, cutting Nils’ face. Nils rages and brawls with Hyejun for a bit until he’s shot off with Elliott’s magic bullets.
Nathaniel swings his poleax in an attempt to hit Soobin, with the leader dodging each hit. “Beomgyu-ah!” He shouts as he blocks a smash from the poleax. Beomgyu charges at Nathaniel, kicking his face before using it as a launch pad to then shoot two arrows at him in midair, both of them missing as Nathaniel dodged the shots.
Grimselda slashes at Wonho, the man dodging each of her slashes. Jisoo runs up to Grimselda and executes her martial art move, ‘Elegant-Body Art’, a 5 hit combo that exudes poise and grace. Grimselda stumbles back afterwards, allowing a free follow up light blast from Yves, burning the clown’s dress. Wonho then does an upward slash with his claymore, sending the tiny lady flying to the roof of the dome.
Quintessa launches some arrows of light at Hyunjin. Hyunjin swiftly dodged them all in cat form and scratched her shoulders. Quintessa followed up with a swift smack that threw Hyunjin back, only to be met with a flurry of knives from Yoongi, grazing her arm and tome.
Nils summons a few steel beams with his tablet to crush his opponents, but Hyejun and Nayeon dodge the beams while Elliott kicks one back at him like nothing. Nils quickly blocks it, only to be followed up with some icicles sent from Elliott. Nayeon positions herself and sends out a powerful boom from her voice, showing off her vocal skills with Sound Magic, making Nils cover his ears in pain.
Nathaniel and Ricardo duel with each other, unleashing powerful clashes that let out waves of Lightning and Void magic
“Mr. Soobin! Switch!” Ricardo quickly switches out with Soobin, allowing him to clash with Nathaniel. Both men clash for a while before Nathaniel manages to throw Soobin back, allowing Beomgyu to engage in combat. Surprisingly, Beomgyu holds really well against the man with a poleax, dodging each of his strikes and stabbing him with an arrow.
Grimselda and Yves clash with each other, their chainsaw and hockey stick clashing with great force. Grimselda’s chainsaw is knocked down by Yves’ hockey stick and is promptly beaten up by her fists, Wonho and Jisoo joining the beat down by kicking the crap out of Grimselda, the tiny woman yelling out in pain. “Fight back you spiteful old hag!” Yves taunts the woman while pummeling her.
Quintessa and Hyunjin exchange kicks with each other, creating a small shockwave with each leg clash. Hyunjin finally kicks Quintessa off balance and sends her flying back with a simple uppercut. Yoongi catches up to Quintessa and slashes her down to Bridgett with a hard kick. Bridgett holds her naginata out and pointing to Quintessa, going for a killing blow, but instead she stabs the tome through the middle.
This simple destruction of the book causes Quintessa to unleash a bloodcurdling scream as she falls to the ground, causing everyone to stop fighting.
“The tome! The tome! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ALL OF US?!” The 4 Divas gather up as the force field crashes down in red glittering pieces. “Quintessa! You’ve got to be fucking with us! We let you use the tome and you manage to destroy it?!” Grimselda scolds the woman as Nathaniel looks at the group.
He brings out a kunai-dart on a rope and looks at the Agents and Idols with disgust. “We will not go down with all of you guys in tact!” He launches it at Beomgyu, with Soobin rushing to save his member. As the distance closes between the dart and Beomgyu, someone else comes in to save him. Elliott jumps in front of the dart and blocks the attack with his Hero Shield, with the piercing attack breaking it completely, launching both him and Beomgyu back.
Nils smacks Nathaniel’s head in anger. “Even when we’re about to expire you’re still a stupid fucking idiot aren’t you?”
Unfortunately for the Divas, the tome opens up and proceeds to absorb everything close to it, including the Divas and the ground. The Divas meet a gruesome end as their skin and flesh are removed from them first, the gory sight followed by painful screams from all four of them. It then absorbs whatever is left of their bodies and drops their clothing and items as the tome proceeds to eat itself and completely stops existing.
Everyone uncovers their eyes, with David vomiting into a bucket in their flying craft. “Gods, that’s a sight I will never forget.” Everyone’s transmission lines picks up the words from David’s mouth.
A part of the ground is missing, along with most of the buildings in flames or crumbling from the fights. Bridgett sighs as she dials a number on her phone. “AMV HQ? Yeah, I’m requesting a clean up crew on the behalf of the South Korea Division. …Yess..put it on their bill..thank you.” She hangs up and shortly thereafter, a truck of magicians pull up and begin to put out the fires and repair the damaged buildings, returning the city back into a city and not a battle field.
Beomgyu is helped up by Elliott, straining his neck to look down at him. “Many thanks for standing in front of that kunai for me! I would’ve been dead meat back there.” Beomgyu bowed at Elliott, and he bowed back.
“Anything for my bias.” Elliott shrugs and looks at Beomgyu and chuckles a little.
Jisoo and Yves look at each other and start praising the other for her skills. “Miss Jisoo! Your martial arts skills were incredible!” Yves exclaimed.
“Back at you Yves! I love how wonderfully you fought with your hockey stick and bravery. Reminds me so much of my members.” She looks up at the sky, reminiscing on her girls.
Ricardo looks at Yoongi and Hyunjin. “You guys are insane fighters. I’ve never met an animal fighter whose form was a cat! And I’ve never seen anyone handle knives like you do Mister Yoongi!” Yoongi and Hyunjin chuckle from the praise.
“It’s what I do best.” Yoongi let his gummy smile show, melting Ricardo’s heart. “I say, your skills with a rapier as delicate as this one is cool! I don’t think half of the members could’ve wielded your sword with such grace!” Hyunjin prods at the rapier’s pommel.
Hyejun looks at Wonho with wide eyes, he’s only seen the idol through pictures, but he never imagined how beautiful he was in person, especially his muscles. Wonho noticed this and laughed.
“I know that look, all of my fans have that same look. I’ll let you see, just this once.” He flexes his buff body, which in turn makes Hyejun faint from his eyes being blessed from his muscles.
“I’ll never forget this memory for as long as I live, hyung.” He mumbles out as Wonho checks up on him, the boy dazed out of his mind from the sight.
Soobin and Bridgett meet eye to eye, surprising the man. “Wow, I’ve never met a woman who’s as tall as you.” This made Bridgett crack up as she wipes a tear away.
“And I’ve never met a man who can hold back someone back who’s twice his size. With one arm!” She pats his shoulder. “You have a bright future as a fighter, Soobin. Use your abilities to protect your members, and never forget to be a responsible leader to your group. I’ll let you in on a secret.” She nears his ears and whispers into his ear. “You’re a bit of a big shot in the future.” She backs away and gives him a thumbs up.
Soobin smiles, his dimples dipping. “Thank you, miss Bridgett. I hope I can be a great leader to my group. I’m sure you’re a great leader as well.” He bows and walks back to Beomgyu.
As the Idols gathered up, their bodies started glowing orange. “Um, what’s going on?” Yoongi kind of panics as Hyejun steps in.
“I think the spell is wearing off. Sooner or later, you’ll return to your own time and realize that nothing has happened during your time gone.” He tells the Idols, all of them sighing in relief.
Everyone takes a group photo, immortalizing the day with a neat polaroid picture. Everyone says their goodbyes as the idols turn into glowing orbs of light, all 7 of them flying in their own direction.
Ricardo looks down at his hands and notices he has a Mint Suga photo card with his signature and a little note next to it. It read ‘Thanks for letting us experience combat! Hope the future treats us kindly! - Min Yoongi’. Ricardo yelps as he realizes his fav left him a little gift.
“I’m not gay, but I so love that man.” He holds it close to his heart as the others want to see what he had.
Bridgett claps her hands and draws the attention of the entire group. “Alright Agents! Now that we had our fun, we must deal with one more matter on our hand!” She says, making all the agents groan.
-
Inside BraeBurn and Macie, the Agents have a good meal and a nice conversation as the owner of the diner shows up.
“May the stars bless my path, isn’t it our favorite customers!” A peppy voice with a southern accent shouts from across the room. A lady who is dressed like a stereotypical Southern Belle, a pink overall dress with flowers and a skirt under to make it more puffy. Her curly ginger hair glowing a bright red under the lights.
“Bridgett! I haven’t seen you in a while dear!” She walked up to the table and pushes her glasses up, her freckles becoming more prominent.
Bridgett stands up and hugs the woman, unleashing the southern girl she’s hidden for so long. “Oh my days, Charlotte Minx! I haven’t seen you since the Battle of Ferrowood! Oh my, where are my manners? We have a new recruit on the team!” She introduces Hyejun to Charlotte, the lady staring the boy down.
“H-Hey Charlotte-noona. I’m Hyejun Yoo, n-nice to meet you.” Hyejun hesitates with letting Charlotte shake his hand, knowing that he destroyed a part of her diner.
Charlotte shakes his hand and gives him a bright smile. “Aw c’mon sonny! That’s water under the bridge! Plus, the renovations allowed me to have more creative liberty with the diner, now we manage to attract more guests by the daily!” She smiles and looks at the team. “Free rounds on me, Agents!” She lets out a hearty laugh before Bridgett stops her.
“Erm, Charlotte honey, they’re still teens.” She chuckles nervously as Charlotte laughs even louder.
“Oh darn, of course you guys are! No worries, free dessert for life for you guys! Oh but once you guys turn 20, I can hook you up with free drinks.” She winks at the table and waves at them. “Toodles!” She walks off to chat with the other patrons.
Bridgett sits down and looks back at a stunned Yves, staring at her with wide eyes. “What? Do I have something on my face?” She reverts back to her American accent.
“You’re a country girl?? How did I not know that?? You spoke to Charlotte like you were born and raised on a farm!” Yves freaks out as Elliott laughs.
“Dude, I told you Captain was a southern girl. I thought it was obvious from the Kansas flag she totes in her office.” David drinks from their cup of black coffee, Elliott making a comment on how it was stupidly bitter.
“Puta madre. Nunca pongo atención a mi jefa.” Yves scoffs as she falls back into her chair. Everyone at the table having a good laugh. Bridgett then shushes everyone and begins to cheer.
The crowd starts cheering as Ricardo walks out on stage. He grabs his mic, all white with some neon blue stars that light up when he touches it. “Thank you! Thank you! For those new here, my name is Ricardo Villanueva. I’d like to thank the owner, Charlotte Minx, for allowing me to perform in front of you guys. Thank you and have a good night.” He says as the band proceeds to play ‘No More What Ifs’ , Ricardo began to sing with his smooth and deep voice, alluring the crowd.
The Agents feel just right, watching their own perform on stage.
