Maleficent cackles madly. Her eyes flash to beady red. "You forgot one thing, boys..." A transformation begins to take over her as her body morphs. Giant sharp-tipped dragon wings spread out behind her, nailing Seonghwa and Mingi in the chest and causing them to fly to either side, torn from their firm grips on her arms.

Within seconds, there is not a horned woman, but rather a large and ferocious fire-breathing purple and black dragon, standing on the ground in the lobby. She lets out a powerful rush of fire into the air, showing off her feat.

"My dragon form!" Maleficent cries out, her roar echoing around the lobby.

San secures his sword once more in his hands.

"You didn't say anything about a dragon, San?!" Hongjoong roars. "Oh, Kim Gyu-uk-nim is going to wring our necks."

"Shut up, Hongjoong, I got this!" San calls out.

Maleficent turns her attention on San, who is bravely protecting Wooyoung. "Let's see if I don't eat you first!"

Wooyoung screams as Maleficent lunges at San.

The dragon nails the ground where they both had been with a thunderous slam. San flies to one side, while Wooyoung strikes the other side, falling onto his back. He screams again, drawing Maleficent's attention to him.

"Don't move," Maleficent snarls and shoots fire at Wooyoung, entrapping him in a fire ring, before any of the others can rush to his aid.

San runs and jumps on Maleficent's back. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Maleficent roars and bucks this way and that, flapping her wings and flicking her tail back and forth as she tries to remove San from her scaly back.

Yunho, Hongjoong, Seonghwa and Mingi join Jongho and Yeosang, staring on in horror and shock. What should they do? What could they do? Yeonjun, however, darts around the lobby, ducking and dodging the wild dragon's wings and tail.

San staggers on Maleficent's back, earning a collective gasp from the other members of ATEEZ. He slips off and lands on the floor.

Maleficent rears up, hovering over him.

Yeonjun spots this and he launches himself at Maleficent, tackling her and distracting her from San.

San scrambles to his feet as Maleficent grabs Yeonjun in her talons and flings him to the ground, busting open his lip in the process. Yeonjun recovers, whirling around to see San chuck the sword at Maleficent's exposed purple belly.

"Purple!" San exclaims as he lets the sword go.

Right for the sweet spot.

Like Prince Philip.

Maleficent roars in agony as the sword makes contact and instantly brings her crashing down to the ground.

San sighs in relief. Then his mind flashes to Wooyoung and he spins around. The fire ring holding Wooyoung captive dissolves rapidly, leaving a stunned and perplexed Wooyoung on the ground.

"It's over," San breathes out and rushed over to Wooyoung. "It's over. You're okay, you're safe."

Yeonjun picks himself off of the ground and goes over to the fallen beast. Slowly the dragon's body sparkles and dissolves away like ash until there is nothing left but the dented lobby floor.

San holds Wooyoung close to him as the others gradually make their ways over to them, relieved and stunned. They also lend their comfort to Wooyoung. And eventually Yeonjun joins in too, while Wooyoung sobs into San's shoulder.

"So, how are we gonna explain this to the Boss Man?" Seonghwa asks.

"Tell him a fairytale dragon named Maleficent did it, after she kidnapped Wooyoung and tried to kill half our group," Mingi jokes, wagging his eyebrows.

"Not funny, Mingi," Seonghwa and Hongjoong scold in unison.

THE END.
