Chapter Text
“Are we here yet?”
Jeongyeon sighs, “No we are not here yet, Dahyun.” She replies after making a turn with the wheel.
“So.. Are we here yet?” It was Momo who asks this time, Jeongyeon decides to ignore it.
JIhyo scowls after hearing the same question from the hunter for the past few minutes, “Jesus Christ, Dahyun—Momo! Momo, we are not there yet.” She corrects herself midway through the sentence.
“Can you two please stop asking the same thing?” JIhyo adds, looking at them from the rear mirror. “It’s only been ten minutes and you two managed to ask about it for the hundredth time!-“
The car suddenly comes into a halt, JIhyo was unable to finish what she’s saying due to the incident. Jihyo mutters a what the hell in her breath.
Jeongyeon lifts her elbow to the car door handle and rests her chin against her palm. “We’re here, Momo and Dahyun. I hope you are satisfied, now get your asses out.” She says to the two, silent girls.
There was silence for a few moments, Dahyun gathers all of her confidence to finally speak after observing It’s surroundings. It’s depressingly dark and horrifying to digest the fact that they would be hunting down someone. “Let’s get out now then.”
To Jihyo’s surprise, Momo was the first person from the four of them to take a step outside the car. And when Momo did, she was stunned for real.
The cold, wind breeze brushes past against her hair, stimulating a sudden shaking-chills down to her spines. Today will be my first time to kick some asses after being burdened with a healer position. She clenches at the thought formed inside her head.
The remaining three left the car after Jeongyeon turned off the engine. A careful, yet loud slam was heard. It was Dahyun who made that sound, obviously.
“That was brave of you, Momo.” JIhyo comments, walking up to her with her hands full. Momo looks down at her leader’s palms. A long cold metal, sides pricked, extruding into the air threatening all those who dare touch it. A familiar weapon which may belongs to Momo’s collection.
“I believe this is yours?”
Momo nods, taking the sword from Jihyo’s hold. “Did JYP added something new to this thing?” She examines the object; the touch was very much different compared to the old days when she first discovered it.
“You’ll need to figure that out, Hirai.” Answered Jihyo, using Momo’s last name formally. Jeongyeon snickers, JIhyo being formally mysterious? It doesn’t match her. She thought in her head.
“Cut the cliffhanger, Jihyo.” JIhyo glares at Dahyun, “JYP definitely added a new feature, but we don’t know what is it though.”
“Enough talking about that dumb sword-“
“Hey!” Momo said with an offended tone, directing it to Jeongyeon.
“We should do the mission now, yeah?” Jeongyeon continues, “The earlier, the better!”
Jihyo nods at what she said, “I agree. Dahyun, do you see someone near us?” She turns her head at the hunter.
Dahyun couldn’t answer her question, not without using her power anyway, she activates her power. Her eyes glows white as she examines the environment around them. High, massive jungle trees are seen everywhere, It took one blink to figure it out that they’re in the middle of a dark forest.
Thanks to her night vision and x-ray abilities, she has no difficulties to see around the area. Dahyun notices an apricot aura emitting around Jihyo. But not only that, there’s a huge, round golden dome encased around the four of them.
It turns out that Jihyo also activated her power for safety and protective purposes. Dahyun guesses when she saw Jihyo’s eyes glow with a warm apricot.
“Dahyun, have you seen someone?” Jeongyeon asks out of nowhere, her arms crossed when she receives no reply.
But the truth is, Dahyun, indeed, saw something. Her arm rises up, her hands straightened as her fingers curled. One finger points where she finds something interesting, or rather someone.
A finger, indicating that someone’s here. Jihyo and Momo understood the actions of the younger girl, their eyes followed what she’s pointing at. Jeongyeon is confused but remained silent.
Dahyun pointed out a huge chunk of a tree. “There, someone’s there.” She says quietly. “Which I assume is our target, right?”
“Describe him.” JIhyo replies.
“Pink punk hair, black leather jacket. Looks handsome, big ears, throwing a fireball in our direction.”
“A WHAT!”
The said fireball slams against JIhyo’s barrier, but it didn’t harm the leader. Momo fought a shriek while Jeongyeon activated her power. The elf-looking man is now visible by everyone’s view. Fire flaming on both his hands as he glares at them.
“An elemental user, huh?!” Jeongyeon taunts, Jihyo removed the barrier around them. “Let’s see what you got!” Chunks of solid soil appeared out of nowhere, heading to the his direction. Dahyun and Jeongyeon dashes at him too.
Momo gulps as she also activates her power. Eyes are now glowing pink. She grips her sword tight and catches up to them. Running while dragging the heavy sword with her.
The huge plack of soil hits the man, who was unable to dodge it on time. He tries to destroy with the fire he’s molding. Some of the dirts melted and was set free from the suffocating trap.
The man saw Dahyun in front of him, flames covered his body as an act of armor as he threw out a fire-flamed fist at her. Luckily, she reacted just in time and dodged the fist.
Jihyo prepares her barrier, she just needs the correct timing to trap him in.
The man was unaware of someone attacking behind him. Jeongyeon punches the man from behind, with both her hands wrapped with solid soil, using it as gloves. And the exact time, a sword pierced him in the front, It was Momo who stabbed him in his chest fiercely.
Dahyun took this as an opportunity to finish him off, her eyes focused on the white, glowing reticle locked on his heart. With enough strength and bravery, she punches him with hard force granted by the enhanced strength.
The punch was equipped with a stun.
The solid soils appeared again, but this time, there’s a lot. It slams against the man, enclosing and sucking him in. More and more flew to his direction, the man is unable to use his fire abilities, therefore it’s useless now.
Momo dragged Dahyun to the ground after seeing the floating soils, they almost got hit by it. Momo’s hand lifted up, the sword pierced to the man’s chest is no longer attached. It quickly returned safely on her hands.
Jihyo summons the golden barrier around the man who is currently suffocated by the soil. She shrunken the size of the dome to match it with the round soil.
“Fuck, that hurts.”
JIhyo looks at Dahyun, who was being healed by Momo after attacking the man barehanded to the heart. Jeongyeon huffs out a laugh.
“I mean, you punched him with no protection at all. Though, I suggest you do that again with some protective gloves.”
“At least I did the last blow!”
“At least tell me that you need a soil glove!”
“It sounds dirty!”
JIhyo sighs while hearing them bicker to one another. “Dahyun, is the man still moving?”
“No,” Dahyun replies, “His power deactivated and he is unconscious now. You should probably tell the task force that he’s controlled now.”
Jihyo took out a device that’s used to tell if the mission is finished or unstable. “Hello, yes, the man—Chanyeol? His name is Chanyeol? Oh, a fake, evil clown. Okay. He’s unconscious now, how long until-“
“Why the hell is there a helicopter!” Jeongyeon exclaims, looking up to the sky. The three looks up too, Momo reads out the words formed to the side of the copter.
“SM Agency. Not surprised, It’s their evil, boy twin after all.”
. . .
Mina’s eyes glows mint, Sana stared at fascination while Chaeyoung forms an amazed expression. Tzuyu and Nayeon are unbothered after seeing it the first time.
“So your power really is available in dawn? That’s interesting.” Sana said as she also activates her power too.
“By in any chances, Sana unnie, is your lightning pink too? Just like your eyes?” Tzuyu half-questions and half-jokes. Chaeyoung and Nayeon chuckles at the curiosity.
Sana lifted a finger up and a small, pink sparkles at it’s tip. “You’re correct, It’s pink.”
Lol.
Soon, Sana’s arm was covered with pink, sparkling lightning. “But the longer It is activated, It’ll become blue. Just like the ordinary lightning.”
Chaeyoung lifts up her hand and opens her palm. A blazing flame formed at its center, “Mine has a mix of orange and red. And my eyes glow red too.”
Nayeon pouts in jealousy, “I want to have powers like that! It must be fun.” Her eyes glows blue.
“Yours is super strength, right?” Nayeon nods at Tzuyu.
“Mina unnie, I know someone with a similar power.” Mina’s eyebrow perks up in interest after hearing Tzuyu. “Solar manipulation. She can only use it during the day, but not in the night. Just sharing.”
Why the fuck did I brought her up again?! Tzuyu, get a hold of yourself, she’s unrelated to Mina. Just because she’s the lunar opposite means they are connected with each other. Just evade the topic now.
“Oh? She must be powerful.”
Tzuyu clenches her fist at the thought of it, she stands up. Surprising the others, “I wouldn’t recommend to assume something about someone you know nothing about.” She walks away, not bothering to say goodbye.
“.. What the fuck happened?” Nayeon said, filling up the silence. Sana shrugs in response.
“I think that’s kind of immature of Tzuyu, she was the one who brought it up after all.” Chaeyoung glances at Mina. The girl looks a bit sad after getting bashed by Tzuyu. “Don’t be sad Mina, It’s not your fault.”
What is it that I triggered something inside Tzuyu? Mina thoughts as she sighs. “Yeah, you’re right. Maybe she’s having a bad night.” She smiled sadly.

/// bonus scene
on her plain palm, a black lightning with white outlines appeared. it sparkled beautifully as each black-white bolts dances gracefully with each other. but it’s dangerous. How can something beautiful turns out to be painful?
she clenches her first, bolts disappeared. but it returned, only to cover itself against the arm. the black lightning wraps itself carefully at the other arm too, and after a fleeting second of silence in a dark room. Her body is swaddled with the now raging, dark lightning; as if it’s a cloak.
a cloak with dangerous thorns.
and that reminds her of something, and someone. too.
rose, a beautiful flower person but every of inch it’s stem skin has painful thorns. Do you still want to touch and hold it her?
