Mage 01 stepped down from the elevated thrones and stared deeply into Sunny’s eyes. It was obvious he was planning his next move, but what it could be was anyone’s guess. Since they were still within Seohyun’s mind, there was no way to induce actual harm to one another. Everything in the mind was purely the figment of their combined imagination, so any damage here wouldn’t translate to real life. Clearly, Mage 01 knew this but was still planning to go the offensive route. Sunny wouldn’t keep her guard down, Mage 01 had been a full powered telepath for years now. If anyone knew how to cause damage within a mind palace, odds were it would be him. “What exactly do you plan to do?” Sunny asked, trying to bait any sort of information from him. She knew he wasn’t a complete idiot, but because of her inherent ability to detect lies, anything he said would prove valuable to her. “Ahh, so you understand that we cannot harm each other within the confines of our minds. This may be true, however, we still just as much pain as we would in reality. I may not be able to kill you, but I can torture you so much that you become unable to remain in your mind reading state and force you out of Seohyun’s mind.” He smiled.

“I’ve masted mind over matter, there’s no amount of pain you can conflict that will trigger my brain to shut off.” Sunny stated.

“Oh really? Say that again with 1.2 megavolts running through your veins.” Mage 01 lifted his hands and blue sparks began to surge out from his fingertips. Sunny could feel a wave of electricity pulsing from his hands, desperately trying to discharge from his palms. “Oh !” Sunny dashed towards a marble pillar that supported Seohyun’s mind palace and hid just before the streaks of blue plasma were released from Mage 01’s palms.  “How the does he do that?” Sunny wondered, desperately trying to figure out what her next plan of action was. She would need to counter this offensively, but given the fact she only currently knew telekinesis, the situation wasn’t looking great for Sunny. Her eyes focused on a neighbouring marble pillar and she used all her willpower to strip the column out of its fixture and hurled it towards Mage 01’s direction. Although the pillar was multiple feet tall, it was a mere pebble in size for Mage 01’s brain. He caught it without a second thought and tossed it aside like a stray plastic bag that was caught in the wind. “Is that all you can do? Well, maybe you’re not such a threat after all.” Mage 01 snickered. Sunny may not have been a natural born fighter, but what she did know was she hated anyone who underestimated her. She stood out from the pillar, completely disregarding the fact she was exposed to any attack Mage 01 could decide to perform. “Don’t take me lightly, you’ll regret it.” Sunny commanded. Mage 01 didn’t respond, he knew how dangerous the mind could become when anger had taken over. Instead, he charged his hands once more, ready to unleash yet another discharge of raw power. Sunny only had a mattered of seconds to prepare for what would probably be the most painful experience of her life, but just like Taeyeon had said, she works better under pressure. “Think Sunny, Think!” She demanded from herself, as she was seconds away from being barbecued.

“How is he doing this? Does he redirect electrical impulses from his brain? That’s not possible, it would only amount to enough volts to power a lightbulb, not burn someone to a crisp. What could it be?”

“You’re thinking much too hard about the logical and not about the theoretical.” At the sound of that voice, everything went to a halt as if time had come to a complete stop. Sunny turned towards the voice and saw a figure of Taeyeon walking towards her, not the one she currently knew, but one she had only just met two years ago. “You’re thinking too much Sunny, you need to relax.” Taeyeon smiled.

“Am I hallucinating right now? Did I already get hit by the lightning and this is merely me trapped within my own mind because I’m in a coma?” Taeyeon clearly had enough and slapped Sunny right across the face.

“How many times do I have to say until you hear me? You’re thinking too hard!!” Taeyeon yelled directly in front of her face.

“What do you want me to do then!!!?” Sunny yelled back at the younger Taeyeon.

“Remember what I said when I first showed you magic? Magic isn’t about how it works, it’s about believing it exists. Your mind is powerful enough to enter other people’s consciousness, how in anyway is that scientifically accurate?” Taeyeon questioned.

“Well…” Sunny was about to go on a rant about how it could theoretically work, but young Taeyeon kept her resting face up to signify she had once again thought too much about the situation.

“Sorry. Okay, what do you devise that I do then?” Sunny asked.

“Keep it simple Sunny, just think that he somehow can manipulate energy around him and within his body and form electrical discharges from his hands,” Taeyeon stated.

“And if he’s able to do that, I’m able to do it too?” Sunny suggested.

“Exactly. No go out there and manipulate some energy with your mind. Remember Sunny, it’s not about how or why it’s about pushing the boundaries to its limit and then breaking through that limit. Not why rather why not.” Taeyeon smiled and faded from Sunny’s mind.

 

The split second was over and she had returned to the moment just before Mage 01 decided to release a few megawatts of power towards her direction. “Okay, don’t think, just do. Be Taeyeon.” Sunny smiled at just how effective being impetus could be. Sunny always relied on calculating her every move, but there were just some situations that you couldn’t calculate. Especially when it came to the unpredictable and fluctuating nature of magic. “If he can reshape matter with his mind, then I can do it too. Anything he can do, I can do it best.” Sunny smiled once more, she felt so much calmer now. If anything, she felt free to the possibilities rather than confined to a calculated destiny, it was rather refreshing, to say the least. Sunny held her hands out and focused on the incoming bolts. There were hundreds, if not thousands of little blue streaks heading her direction, but one thing was for certain, she wasn’t going to be grilled today. With her outstanding processing power, she pinpointed ever little bolt that could possibly reach her and took control of them. Once she had reached full control, she dispersed their energy through the air, leaving nothing but static flowing through the breeze. Mage 01 was shocked at the sudden turn of events, or it could have been his upright hair from the static that made him seem a bit shocked. “Your ability to control lighting is pretty cool, but it’s a bit sloppy.” Sunny smirked.

“WHAT?? You dare disrespect my telekinetic abilities?? Who do you think you are?” Mage 01 asked.

“I don’t usually come up with the names, but just call me Cerebra, the Mind Mage.” Sunny stated.

“Fancy names doesn’t give you the right to disrespect me and my abilities. You’re nothing but an amateur in comparison to me!” Mage 01 yelled.

“Could an amateur do this?” Sunny focused into
