The seven of them stepped out of the van quietly, checking they had all parts of their gear and weapons. Namjoon and Jin grabbed the large metal trunk, carrying the weight between themselves, leading the group. 

"Just turn right here," Namjoon whispered, and they obeyed, moving as stealthily as possible. 

After a few minutes of travelling, they reached another clearing, a much bigger clearing this time with a better view on the eerie castle. 

Yoona gasped and her eyes widened to saucers. 

In front of them were around 16 groups, idol groups, she should specify, conversing amongst themselves in the quietest of whispers. 

Infinite, BAP, Big Bang, Vixx, Got7... there were 8 male idol groups and then 8 female groups like Red Velvet, SNSD... 

Yoona could not believe her eyes. "Jimin!" She grabbed the boy's arm next to her.

"Hm?" He leaned closer to hear her. 

"So all idol groups aren't just idol groups...they're all like us?" She muttered excitedly, and Jimin softly chuckled. 

"Most of them, yeah. We just make ourselves visible to humans when we go on shows and tours and stuff, then become not visible again when we want to just travel outside, and not get bombarded with fans" He winked. "It's a good life."

Yoona took all of the information, but she shouldn't surprised, really. Yoona had to admit though, that she had to have a lot of self-restraint not to go and hug all of her bias groups due to the sudden attack of fangirl feels...because that would be highly inappropriate at a time like this. Probably.

"Right," Namjoon let the truck down in the middle and joined the spot where the leaders were conversing seriously, whilst the rest of BTS took up the small area left for them. 

"Are you alright?" Yoona felt two voices whisper in her ears and she momentarily froze. 

"Yeah, I'll be okay," She whispered, glancing from Jungkook to Jimin who were giving each other a stern look. Jungkook wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close so her head was resting on his chest, while Jimin sighed and turned away, not wanting to look at the couple. 

"Alright!"

All heads turned towards the front and all whispered ceased. 

Namjoon stood in the centre with the rest of the leaders either side of him. 

"It is now-" He glanced at his watch, "-4:45am. I'm really thankful that everybody could make it and will fight alongside us. As we know, there have been mysterious disappearances of humans - I'm fairly confident that we'll find them in there," He pointed to the massive building. 

"I don't  know what's inside, I don't know what we're going to find or what we can expect. So we've come up with a flexible plan of action. Infinite, here's what you're going to do..." Namjoon began listing the roles to each group, making each one take two grenades from the trunk. 

"And lastly, BTS. You'll be heading for Melantha herself. I'm not sure whether she'll be in hiding or out in the open, but wherever she is you'll have her as your target." They nodded in understanding. 

"Yoona and Taehyung, I want you two to find Yoongi. That is your primary goal - Find and free Yoongi, then rejoin the rest of BTS to take down Melantha just in case the others haven't already. Clear?"

A whisper of yes was heard and the leaders smiled in satisfaction. 

"Then lets get moving."

They moved as one, silently in the early morning darkness. For a crowd that size, they moved so quietly it amazed Yoona, who was biting her lip. She felt a hand squeeze hers in reassurance and she looked up to the raven haired boy whose features where illuminated in the dim light. 

"You're going to be okay. We're going to be okay," Jungkook smiled, and she nodded with a smile. 

They finally reached the large wooden double door. Sunggyu was in the front, waiting for Namjoon's signal. When the latter gave the slightest nod, the former tinkered with the lock, holding up a hand to tell the rest of Infinite to hold back the log they were going to use to ram the door down. Instead, Sunggyu turned around with a face of confusion. 

"It's unlocked."

Namjoon raised his eyebrows. "Unlocked?"

Sunggyu nodded, and after Namjoon gave another nod he carefully pushed open the door, everyone with their weapons ready. Suddenly Sunggyu slammed the door open and the forefront of the mini battalion held up their guns, filling into the interior. 

And almost dropped their weapons at the sight. 

They found themselves inside what was the remains of a humongous ball room, with a high ceiling and bright artificial lighting. The beauty of it was long gone, leaving behind eroding architecture and grey walls. 

And in front of them could only be described as an army, like something off a film.

An army about double the size of theirs, was stood in straight lines. Foremost were creatures with black, haunting eyes; long black talons; black veins bulging; backs hunched over and snarling with large fangs protruding from their colourless lips. 

Behind them were 'demons', their large black wings spread out behind them and darkness in their eyes as they looked as though they were eager to pounce at any moment.

They were all, quite frankly, horrifying. 

Yoona gulped, gripping her sword tighter in her fist. 

"Well well well...it is nice to see you, and just in time you are," A loud voice boomed, sending a shudder through Yoona's spine. 

The real demon herself stood up from the ledge she'd been perched upon, swinging her legs and jumping off gracefully and spreading her large black wings that shimmered with a tint of deep red as she glided to the floor. 

"I'm so glad you made it to the party," She muttered softly, but it was clearly heard by everyone, who Yoona could see was gripping their weapons as tight as she was. 

"What is this," Namjoon gestured angrily to in front of them to the hoard of snarling creatures, and Melantha just let out a tinkling laugh, her tone soft and sickly sweet. 

"It's what it looks like. An army, of course. See here," She leapt up and flew over the front line of her army. "These are all humans, did you recognise them?" She giggled. 

"All the missing people..." 

"Correct!" She clapped as though he'd answered a quiz show on the TV correctly. "Don't they look good?" 

"How can we fight innocent people?!" Hoseok yelled frustratedly, causing her to emit another laugh.

"Don't ask me. But they'll kill you if not," She shrugged, flying back up to her ledge. "Anyway, I'm bored of talking. Lets have some action shall we?"

"Wait, listen-" Namjoon started, but it was too late. With a flick of her hand, her army surged forward, backing them against the wall and door which was now shut. And locked, somehow. 

"Change of plan," Namjoon hurried. "Every group is now fighting, except for BTS - go for Melantha and Yoongi, clear?" 

There was a murmur of agreement before Namjoon let out a guttural roar and they advanced, plunging the previously calm atmosphere into chaos. 

Yoona was momentarily frozen with fear, unsure what to do until Taehyung grabbed her arm, causing her to flinch. 

"Come on, Yoongi remember?" He half smiled in an attempt to calm her nerves before taking off into the air with her in tow, and the pair glanced around the hall rapidly just in case Melantha was stupid enough to hide him in there, although of course she wasn't. 

Yoona caught the others of Bangtan flying out in pursuit of her, and prayed that they could end this soon, but she knew it wasn't going to happen and so she focused on her primary task. 

"Tae, lets get out of here and explore the rest of the place," She tugged on his arm and he nodded in response, and the pair swept through the large broken window where they had seen the others go through earlier, narrowly missing scratching her wings on the shattered glass panes. 

They landed in the long corridor that not only had several closed doors dotted along it but also branched off into three more directions. 

Taehyung groaned. "Seriously," He muttered, before starting to kick down the door one by one, his sword ready in his hands. 

"Do the same Yoona, we need to get down all the corridors as fast as we can."

She nodded, and proceeded to do the same, using the heel of her boot-cladded foot to ram into the doors, holding her blade out. 

Empty. Empty. Empty. 

She glanced down the corridor, sighing at the endless doors. She couldn't imagine why someone would ever want to live in a castle, it was just too much. 

Where are you, Min Yoongi?
