“Things are about to kick off,” Jaehyuk said suddenly, startling everyone who was sitting in the living room.

“Huh?” Hyuk questioned right before someone came charging through the front door.

Everyone jumped up to find a dark gray wolf standing in the front hall, glaring at them darkly.

“Well,” Shin said, moving to stand behind the wolf, “I can see we weren’t expected. Good.”

“We were waiting for you to show up,” N glared as the rest of Cross Gene entered the boarding house, “just didn’t think it would be today.”

“I see you’ve got more allies,” Shin commented, eyeing Legend carefully, “but since Got7 isn’t around, it doesn’t matter too much. Might actually work out in our favor actually.”

“Think again,” Leo scoffed, “you aren’t waling out of here in once piece.”

“We’ll see,” Shin smirked before stepping back and giving Casper and Takuya room to shift and stand beside Sangmin, “we won’t mess up your house, promise. It wouldn’t be worth it.”

With that said Sangmin, Takuya, and Casper charged forewords, closely followed by Shin after he’d given orders to Seyoung and Yongseok to get Kihyun. Fighting in such a close space wasn’t easy for anyone, but it was especially hard on those who had more destructive powers. Leo for example couldn’t do much.

Sangmin ended up facing off against Roi, Jaehyuk, and Lito. Changsun decided to stay back and play healer if need be, but his primary job was protecting the humans that were in the room. Hongbin, Hyuk and Ken teamed up to go after Casper, all shifting into their beast forms in hopes that it would make the fights easier. Listen and Ravi were left with Takuya, a fight that was a bit easier so long as they avoided his eyes. This left N and Leo with Shin.

“Dang it,” N hissed as Shin got in a well placed jab at his ribs.

“Not finding it so easy, right?” Shin smirked, “I expected as much. You aren’t used to these types of fighting conditions, are you?”

“And you are?” Leo asked, trying to land a hit to Shin’s face and being blocked.

“You have to be when you call the demon realm home,” Shin replied, “being able to fight in any conditions in essential if you want to keep living.”

His words through the pair off a little bit. Thankfully Listen was there to yell at them for getting distracted.

“Don’t let his words distract you!” Listen snapped as he landed a kick to Takuya’s ribs, “just block all of it out.”

“Right,” N nodded, wincing as Shin found an opening and punched him in the face. It didn’t break anything, but it still hurt.

“Shin!” Seyoung suddenly yelled, appearing by the broken door, “we got her! Let’s go!”

“Good,” Shin sighed, sending once last hit in Leo’s direction before making for the portal, “let’s go! Casper, Takuya, Sangmin, finish up now.”

“No!” N yelled, realizing that Hyorin had been in the basement. If Seyoung and Yongseok had Kihyun, then that meant they had beat her, that she was hurt.

“Don’t you dare leave!” Ravi growled, rushing to grab Takuya and drag him back.

He managed to grab his back leg and the other demon growled, desperately trying to kick him off. But Ravi wasn’t about to let go no matter how many times Takuya’s kicked hit him in the face or his claws left him with scratch marks.

While Ravi struggled to keep his hold on Takuya, Sangmin send a wind attack at everyone else, sending them flying back into the farthest wall.

“Takuya!” Casper yelled, pushing Sangmin into the portal and dragging Shin with him, “we’ll be back, don’t worry.”

“Don’t bother,” Takuya grinned, haulting his fighting, “I’ll get free all by myself. I’ll see you in a few days.”

“I’ll hold you to that, brother,” Casper said before ducking through the portal that Seyoung shut seconds later.

“Dang it,” N cursed.

“I’ll get him locked up,” Listen ordered, grabbing Takuya and pinning him down so he couldn’t move, “someone go check on Hyorin.”

“On it,” Changsun said, rushing off to do ask asked.

“We lost her,” Leo sighed, “they got Kihyun back.”

“But we also have this one,” Listen pointed out, “and we know that they’ll come back for him when he doesn’t show up in a few days. We can prepare for that and when they show up again?”

“We take them down,” N nodded.

“Good luck with that,” Takuya laughed, “you’re not going to be able to keep me here for long. I’ll be back with my brothers before you know it. You aren’t going to stop our plans.”

“Think again,” N hissed, “you’ve hurt us, you took Kihyun, you forced a beast on her. We’re going to stop whatever plans you have and punish you for what you’ve done.”

“Try,” Takuya smirked, “I’d like to see it.”

A/N: might not be the kicking off you all expected, but I like it. Do you think that Takuya is going to get free? Or will something finally go right for our heroes?
