Silence.

The facility..... Is silent.

This thick tension and suffocating silence is similar to a harsh knife attempting to claw its way down, but finding no way of slicing through by how sturdy the material is.

Everyone just watches..... And waits.

At least, for those who are staring through the glass window; Watching the unconscious specie as Taehyung -completely coated in armor- moves his glowing hands over his body to check his vitals once again or if anything has changed.

It hasn't.

True to his words, this mysterious being had no broken body parts and his organs are all healthy, probably the healthiest than any living thing out there. Everything about this creature is so similar to the human body; Limbs, hair, facial structure, various body parts exactly the same as a human- Everything.

Yet it seems as though he stopped aging while he was in there, except for his long chocolate hair that reached the ground in a mountain pile.

Now the only thing everyone is anxiously waiting for is for Jewel to just wake up, hoping to get some sort of communication from him. From what they've gathered so far through DNA testing and the dirt underneath his fingertips, he is from the Mesozoic era - Just as Jungkook theorized. He has a few vicious, yet healed, scars on his body that would definitely be too big for it to be from an animal here if he did live in this era.

Muscles are close to the embodiment of a stone- bricked and hard, explaining his survival to the claw mark.

Hoseok later on found something strange in regards to his hair particles. It's similar to his eyes in some way, having this synchronizing connection? But he can't exactly explain what it is yet since he doesn't even know himself.

And that's when the decision came from him- If Jewel doesn't wake up in three days, they will have to awake him by force.

Three days passed, and Jewel is still unconscious.

The thing is his brain activity is still active and he is breathing. Just not waking up.

So, they have no choice left.

Jungkook anxiously rubs his arms, feeling himself frown when Taehyung meets his gaze from the glass window with a shake of his head.

Nothing has changed.

He still can't see anything.

Dr. Jung Hoseok grimaces to this and turns around, "Everyone prepare for the 342 test! We need everything to run by smooth, so bring us more volunteers in case all hell breaks loose!"

342 testing; The awake of a specie. It's a procedure they do when a specie they discover doesn't wake up, which involves electric shocks to the brain in order to help quicken their activity in a force to awake out a survival instinct.

Not exactly dangerous since they start with small bolts, and if the specie doesn't wake up then they rise it up higher.

The goal of this is to not hurt them, just to awaken them.

However, in the past, some species have woken up aggressively and would openly attack - that's why they need the assistance of the volunteers in case they do get violent or hostile.

It didn't take long for them to arrive once they were called out to, only igniting Jungkook's nerves by a milestone but he tried to remain professional and calm. Taehyung is still in the room, and will stay in the room while this happens to either calm Jewel down or protect those to the other side of the glass.

More specifically Jungkook.

So with that thought in mind, Taehyung hardens his skin and casts a glance to the glass, nodding.

Jungkook got the message, moving his eyes to Hoseok to see the man already staring at him.

And Hoseok looks back to Jewel, not hesitating as he presses on the glowing blue button down.

Starting off with five volts.

Small, barely anything, but still enough to have sent waves to his head by the circular headband band wrapped around his head.

No reaction.

They raised up the bolts to ten.

No reaction.

"Can I say something?" Taehyung suddenly says, turning to the glass.

Jungkook pressed down on the microphone button, "What is it?"

"Rise bolts by thirty," He advises, glancing back to Jewel, "If he not full human, more bolts."

Reluctantly Jungkook and Hoseok glance at each other, unsure. Sure, he may not be entirely human, but leaping to those high altitudes could cause damage to his nervous system. It's not something that they can just do without taking into consideration of the health hazard -

Taehyung suddenly approaches Jewel and extends his hand out towards him, eyes glowing purple as he slowly runs his hand down from over his body.

Stopping where his heart is.

And his jaw clenched.

Snapping his eyes to the glass, he calls out, "Seonghwa, lightening."

Both Jungkook and Hoseok were taken back by the sudden order, confused, but one of the volunteers seemed to have understood.

Seonghwa.

And he didn't hesitate from taking a step forward, electric bolts running wild behind his eyes, before he pushes between Hoseok and Jungkook and places his hands fired in electricity on the control panel.

Immediately Jeongguk attempts to push him back after connecting what Taehyung is thinking, but he yelps when his hands got burned by the electric currents flaming Seonghwa's body.

From gold, to a fierce electric blue.

The lights in the room Jewel is in suddenly blinks before a sudden strike of lightening shot directly to the body.

A quick shot, and that was enough to rise Jewel's vitals by a max, including his heart rate.

Hoseok panics, "Seonghwa stand down!"

Seonghwa didn't listen, only feeling and seeing the electric bolts running through Jewel's body with wide eyes.

Reaching all the way to his brain.

Taehyung narrowed his eyes and held a hand up, halting Seonghwa from going again when he saw Jewel's hand twitch.

After waiting for a few moments, the twitching stopped.

Jungkook immediately took that opportunity to speak over the mic, "Taehyung, let us handle the procedure-"

"Seonghwa again."

"Taehyung!"

Seonghwa purged more electricity through the panel, forcing this time a stronger electric current of lightening of 145 million volts to strike the body.

This time forcing a scream out of Jewel.

With his eyes flying open.

In chaotic whirls of colors.

Taehyung immediately holds a hand up, "He's awake!"

He's awake.

Jewel is awake-

A fierce wave of forceful energy abruptly echoed out of Jewel's body, pulsating Taehyung back with such speed and power to slam against the glass - cracking the unbreakable window. Jeongguk shoots to his feet, horror flashing his eyes as Taehyung's body slides down against the glass to the ground limply- Revealing the being of the energy.

The man is sitting up on the bed, eyes blazed of various colors mixed in together with his hair shifting from chocolate waves of brown to multicolor just like his eyes - Unmovable, still, but breathing, heavily.

Everyone stood frozen, unsure what to do or how to react to this turn of events. Sure, they were ready for something to happen, but this felt different - no, it is different. It's different because this being is familiar; it's an ancestor of their past; a bloodline descendent to the roots of their entire being of life. This right here gives them just a major glimpse to who they were, how it was even possible and how come no records were found of this specie. This is different, and now that Jewel its awake, anything can happen - especially if this specie has been concealed for more than hundreds of years. Those of the volunteer unit are the only ones mentally prepared, waiting for an order, taking in the scene cautiously.

Jeongguk's heart by now is in his throat, afraid to even move a muscle or even spare a glance to his fallen partner - only focused on Jewel in a paralysis of shock.

Everyone's eyes are only on him, waiting.

Just waiting.

Jewel continues to breathe heavily, being completely still. Calm. Breathing in the fact that he's awake. Alive.

His eyes are clear crystals of that realization.

Dr. Jung Hoseok just barely glances to the vital monitors, noticing how everything so far seems normal in his body.

But his breathing is picking up speed.

Either he's growing anxious, or he's not used to the air quality and he's subtly suffocating.

Jewel snaps his eyes to the glass screen, just as someone just barely shifted in their seat from the seat far behind everyone else. Hoseok startles back, his breath growing uneven when slowly Jewel's eyes shifted to a singular color of pitch-black darkness, along with every strand of his hair of raven waterfall of ink. Jeongguk's lips parted, disbelief to such transition happening so slowly and prominent before his eyes.

This is what Hoseok meant by his hair and eyes having a connection - they shift into the same color.

But what does those colors mean?

A subtle groan snatches Jeongguk's attention from inside the room, finally having the control of his body to shift his eyes to find Taehyung moving to his feet - swaying but squares his shoulders to gather his composure. His eyes shifted grey in a bright glow the second his gaze settles to Jewel, hunching subtly in defense in case he attacks. Jewel immediately caught his presence when he snaps his pitch-black eyes to him, silently. Taehyung scrunches his nose, cautiously stepping closer to the being, but being careful.

Everyone now watches with breaths choking their lungs, especially Jeongguk - observing Jewel quietly with the gears in his head turning slowly.

His hearing is intact, that's for one, and it's sharp enough to hear through thick walls.

Survival instincts are still inconclusive, but he's quiet and calm - for now.

Can they make some sort of communication?

Very slowly, near painfully, Jeongguk presses on the mic, flinching to the thudding noise is made to show it's on, before leaning towards it, "Tae, try to see if you can communicate."

Jewel's faces flinches brutally to Jeongguk's voice echoing the speakers, abruptly shooting to his feet. Taehyung raises a hand to the glass instantly, signaling Jeongguk to not speak - or anyone in that matter.

Somewhere deep down in Jeongguk's he feels it.

This is going to turn out so horribly wrong.

Everything is too calm, especially from a being who was just awake from years of a near coma.

Taehyung slowly edges to Jewel, hissing quietly. This immediately had Jewel snapping his eyes to Taehyung, hunching low with feet moving back, a face scrunching up in a snarl with sharp teeth.

Sharp teeth.

He didn't have sharp teeth-

Taehyung growls back with his own sharpen teeth, taking a daringly large step closer in dominance, making Jewel scrunch back with a fierce growl urging out of his throat - a low, harsh and deep sound, yet so pitchy at the same time.

A growl so unlike any animal they have heard of before.

A noise not possible for a regular human to make.

That noise..... What is it?

"Velociraptor," All attention snaps to the voice who spoke through the silence, leading to Hyunjin - the Paleontologists of this institution - eyes widen in shock to such noise echoing the room, "That sound.... It's a sound a Velociraptor makes before they-" He gulps, "Before it attacks."

Velociraptor, a dromaeosaurid dinosaur.

If Jewel is making a noise similarly to those creatures, then Jeongguk's theory was correct - Jewel is from the Mesozoic period. His only source of communication is through their language, as though he was the creature itself.

Which means he will also have their animal instinct.

Everyone shoots their eyes back to the glass, immediately with Jeongguk gripping the mic for dear life in fear for his partner, "TAEHYUNG SUSTAIN HIM! HE'S GOING TO ATTACK!"

Jewel suddenly roars, a noise so deafening and hoarse that echoed even through the glass - rattling the tables and chairs of the room, even the ground itself.

That sound.

It was-

"Tyrannosaurus," Hyunjin shrieks, scrambling back in his feet, "We all need to leave! Now!"

Various of the scientists in the room evacuated, just as Jewel's entire eyes and hair drained in silver, right before he suddenly lunges forward to Taehyung with his sharp teeth. Quickly the man shifts aside, body now covered in armor before he attacks back and forcefully sustains Jewel to the ground. However, he didn't even get a single second on him before being blasted back by fire that coated every layer of Jewel's body, forcing the blue flames to shoot out and pin Taehyung to the wall across the room.

The rescue unit immediately forced their way into room, forcing intimidation on him with the large numbers, while Jewel scrunches to the wall with animalistic hisses before he suddenly caws - loudly.

Calling.

He's calling something.

But nothing appeared, making a confused yet hysterical expression fill his eyes while still hissing back to the being surrounding him.

He's scared.

Jeongguk spoke again, noticing this, "Don't hurt him! He's just confused, someone please try to communicate with him-"

Unexpectedly Jewel pushes himself from the ground, catapulting himself up, and with strong energy slams his fist through the ceiling. On most occasions, this room would withstand such strength and force from any being outside of Earth - those who created it with their abilities made sure of it. Yet that was unstoppable for Jewel as he created a vast and enormous whole in the ceiling to the outside - catching many by surprise, including Jeongguk.

Shit, he escaped!

Taehyung narrows his eyes to the hole with a stubborn sneer, a deep huff escaping his throat before forcing himself to push off the ground as well and chases after him. Various of the beings followed suit as well, going into immediate emergency mode on keeping everyone safe for those in defense and the rest going on the offense with Taehyung to restrain Jewel. Hysterically Jeongguk didn't even waste a sweat before gathering his notes and racing out the now empty room - not before putting down the alarm for everyone in this island to go into lockdown.

For now, Jewel is unpredictable.

They need to be safe, including him too.

The sky of once clear skies and bright sun rays is now clouded in a blanket of white to stretch far beyond the ocean, just before sprinkles of snow suddenly twinkled down as faint dust. Taehyung moving from tree to tree with his purple glowing eyes to detect Jewel began to have a difficult time seeing anything, hissing angrily to the open, "NO SNOW!"

"IT'S NOT ANY OF US SIR!" Taeyong, patterns of blue snow decorating his eyes, shouts once he landed beside him, hair white as the ice flickering the sky, "I'm the only one who can command snow, and it's not following my orders."

Seems like their escaped Jewel can control their environment, and his ability is stronger.

Taehyung grimaces deeply before sniffing the air, immediately leaping into to the sky as he settles from tree to tree following the faint sent of Jewel, fighting to see through the snowstorm.

He didn't make it far as he expected.

Aggressively he was ambushed and tackled to the side, forcing the air out of his body as he soars through the sky, trees, before being dragged down across the ground through the rubble and stumble of rocks before his back shackles to the lower end of the mountain of this island. Taehyung's vision blurs to the force it caused to his head, but his ears perked and automatically his arms shield his face, just as he feels a brutal punch land to his arms. That didn't rattle a core in his body, if anything it woke him up to grab the fist that landed on his forearm and swing it on the firm rock behind him.

There he faces Jewel, hair and eyes mixed of white and silver, snarling harshly before he pushes his feet alongside the rock and shoots with all his strength to Taehyung's body. Feet firm on the ground, Taehyung withstood the bullet force of Jewel's body attempt in dragging him to the ground. The more Jewel fought back; the heavier Taehyung drowned in his animalistic instincts. Without thought, his claws slide painfully over his nails and sinks them into Jewel's back - forcing an animalistic screech out of him before Taehyung forcefully sends him to shackle against a tree - snapping it in half.

The snow caressing down the sky suddenly stopped, just as Jewel's hair drained of its color right when Taehyung was going to attack.

Shifting blue.

Dark, navy blue.

Taehyung watches on edge as the snow quickly melts, the liquid now tracing all the way to the man limp against the tree.

Just like the tears that spilled his glowing blue eyes.

Hesitantly Taehyung observes him with his purple eyes, sensing this overwhelming generating of liquid being produced in Jewel's body, just as all the water traces to every inch of his skin.

His eyes snaps to Taehyung, forcing his breath to hitch his throat.

A forcefield shield Taehyung's body the same second the water shot out to him, having one of the volunteers - Yeji - standing in front of him with calculated eyes of a purple grid piercing her orbs - just like the forcefield she's producing around them.

Yeji, from planet Nebula. A planet known for their intelligence in technology - something far more advanced than in planet Earth. Being able to produce forcefields with their bare hands, causing disturbances either with radio signals or Commnication easily. She came to Earth willingly, searching for a signal that she caught from Nebula, leading it here.

She's been here for five years as of now, not wishing to return.

"I can trap him," Yeji firmly states, not removing her eyes away from Jewel, "But you need to distract him before the rest get here-"

Yeji is suddenly sucked down to the ground, arms and legs stuck beneath the Earth - forcing the forcefield to disappear instantly. Angrily Yeji shrieks, but a vein filled with clematis flowers to conceal her vision.

Taehyung grinds his teeth to see Jewel now with green eyes glaring at her, a hand fisted to the grass before he slowly looks at Taehyung - clearly aggravated.

Possessive little thing, isn't he?

Fine, you have all my attention now.

Annoyedly Taehyung snarls aggressively back to him, forcing another hiss back from Jewel as he slowly rises to his feet. As he did so, vines quietly traced up Taehyung's legs and shoots down to his arms, straddling him. However, Taehyung with his claws escaped fiercely through to continue fighting, but a hand grabs his neck - pinning him to the tree trunk behind him harshly.

By the surprise attack, Taehyung chokes to the stone strength of the hand on his neck. Attempting to claw his wrist to free himself, two trees suddenly shifted either side of him, opening a hole and trapping his hands inside by the branches that forced his arms out open. In attempts to move his feet, the bark of the tree trunk stabbed his ankles to remain them still - forcing an animalistic whimper out of his lips.

No way of escaping now.

Choking and gasping on air, Jewel only watches with a pointed expression while squeezing tighter to Taehyung neck. In a frail attempt, Taehyung still tried to communicate through to him, in any way possible, but Jewel only choked him tighter and tighter with his every attempt. Yet something also occurred within this moment, and it was Jewel's eyes flickering from green to a deep orange when he tilts his head slightly to Taehyung.

Taehyung now began to see blurs in his vision, suffocating, but strange enough this odd sensation began to bubble and boil in the deepest part of his abdomen. A feeling so wild that purged out every feverish animal instinct out of him. Not only whimpering to the pain but growling and moving violently against the restraints on him, leaning his face to Jewel with every attempt to bite his face off. Jewel boldly leans closer to him, breathing him in with a gritted dark sneer from the back of his throat back to him, forcing his dominance.

And at that moment, where Taehyung felt every humane thought chip away from his head, did it come to an enlightenment as the animal in him awakens, what Jewel's purpose was.

He could feel it.

Why Jewel's attention was only on him, fighting, attacking only him.

To mate.

His species fight to near death to demonstrate their dominance, like wolves fighting for their positions in their pack.

And Jimin sensed Taehyung as an alpha since the start.

Taehyung growls deeply to him, fighting back but Jewel presses his entire palm to his throat, nearly knocking the breath out of him to force him into submission, but Taehyung refused angrily. However, the will to fight was slowly diminishing down in Taehyung's body with his strength now becoming frantic to his heart racing in his chest. Jewel grew stubborn, nose twitching to Taehyung's heavy breaths.

With seconds away from passing out due to the lack of air, Taehyung ready to let go of life in his body, but before that occurred, his ears suddenly perked.

With a familiar scent radiating his nose.

Oh no.

As though a boost of energy surged his body, his eyes shoot open, hysterical now, especially when he noticed that he wasn't the only one who noticed the same thing he did.

Jewel slowly turns his head to the side, just as the sound of rustling edges closer to them before coming to their line of vision but stopping abruptly.

Not a single blood in Taehyung body was warm, now cold in horror.

Jeongguk.

The breathless scientist gasps between air as he glances between them, sweating profusely to having had ran all the way from the facility to here - where he tracked Taehyung down to. He couldn't sit still knowing both Jewel and Taehyung could possibly kill each other, and his pulsating heart lead him here.

With no plan.

Now he's frozen standing before them.

Unable to move.

And there he realized how useless he truly is.

He's just a human, he can't stop Jewel.

Shit.

Taehyung barely strangles out, "G-Get out ..... Leave! H-He'll.... Kill -"

Jewel suddenly let's go of his neck, walking towards Jeongguk now with his eyes slowly flickering in red.

Red.

When it flickered red in the facility, he fused fire.

Taehyung fiercely attempts to free himself, shrieking as Jewel grew closer to Jeongguk, while the scientist took cautious steps back before tripping over a vine and slamming back against another tree trunk - not realizing a vine slowly slithered up the tree to secure his torso - tightly. He looks down frantically, just as another vine traces his arms and ties his legs.

Refusing him to be freed.

Jeongguk shrieks back, unable to remove his eyes away from Jewel's pointed stare as he stands in front of him now, his gaze mysterious and dim, yet clearly not pleased.

He's pissed.

"D-Don't hurt me," Jeongguk whimpers, making Jewel slowly turn his head, "I j-just want to help-"

Fingers feathers his lips, shutting him up. Jewel eyed his lips, his own mouth twitching curiously before tracing his fingers down to Jeongguk's throat.

Right where his voice box is.

Jeongguk breathes painfully hard, tears beaming his eyes as Jewel glares to his throat before his fingers suddenly presses hard on his skin - feeling as though he was just about to rip Jeongguk's vocal cords out of his body.

He chokes.

"DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Taehyung screams, hysterically moving to be freed, "AH! Don't touch him!"

Jeongguk chokes hard, whimpering with the tears gliding down his cheeks as Jewel leans to his neck and breathes hard over his throat. His hot breath caresses his goosebumps coated skin, tracing slowly up his neck and right above his lips with his eyes now glimmering gold.

Inhaling.

As though a vacuum was sucking the air out of Jeongguk's lungs, forcing through his throat and of out his mouth - where Jewel was sucking it in with his parted lips hovered over his mouth. An unbearable pain stabbed like knives against Jeongguk's abdomen and ribcage, feeling as though he was drowning and suffocating all at once, hysterically trying to chase after his breath but was only left gasping with lightheadedness to the drastic low levels of oxygen, all the while Jewel pressed on his voice box harder and sucking in all the air out of him.

Black spots blurred his vision, his body growing still with his eyelids fluttering as he began to fade in and out of consciousness. He can faintly hear Taehyung shouting in the background, howling for backup urgently, but that felt like a song whispering from far into the horizon.

But if there's anything Jeongguk believes in, it's in Taehyung's devotion for him.

With his eyes closed.

So, with his last strength, he quietly breathed, "Taehyung."

A thunderous sound blared the forest, snapping and bombarding in a ferocious scream. Before Jeongguk's heartbeat gave out, Jewel's touch on him faded away.

But he fainted in unconsciousness, the last thing hearing being bloodthirsty roar shutting his mind off.
