" I thought we are inside a cave?" Chen asks when they walk inside and saw another large plants like they felt small around the different plants around them.

"I felt like i'm in wonderland. Why ate there large trees every where?" Kai blurted out while he walks side by side with Kyungsoo.

"Because we are looking for some flower so it all make sense?" Baekbeom answered making him rolls his eye to the other.

"Of course I KNOW that!! I'm just testing if you guys knew that." He stick his tongue out and hugs Kyungsoo tightly.

"Look!! Another lake and there is a flower in the middle of it!!" Kris points towards it and they all widen their eyes at the sight.

Just when Xiumin is leading the way, he startled by a sound of a bush rustling making them stop for a while. Just then, a boar suddenly emerge running from the bush and made its way past through them and head towards the lake. The group starts to move towards it but they are taken surprise when the boar was swallowed a moving water figure in the lake. They also watch in horror when the boar tried to struggle clearly seeing the skin of the boar melts like the lake was made of acid as it releases a big howl of death until it was nowhere to be seen.

"What.....was...that!!" Chen half scream after he saw what happened to the poor pig.

"So the lake is very dangerous that is why no one ever gets the flower. How can we get the flower if you will be dead before setting a foot near the lake?" Kris puts a hand on his chin to think things clearly.

"I know! Why don't you go freeze the water and maybe that will let us walk towards it right?" Chen looks at Xuimin who widen his eyes and mutters something before talking.

"And who do you think I am?!?! Do I look like queen Elsa to you and sing a song while I freeze the water as I walk by? Even if I can do that, I would never do that to satisfy your fantasy about me copying Elsa. I'm a freaking man!!!" He felt his blood boils as he points a finger to Chen which raised his hands in defeat.

They are stop by their mini fight when Kyungsoo giggles at the two and mutters a sorry before the others also chuckles at them.

"Anyways, we still don't know if that is the 'real' flower." Baekbeom decided to toss a stone which he picks from the side. 

He throws it sideward making it jump by the water before it reach towards the flower. The stone was clearly reduced to smaller as it hits the water since it is quite acidic. What amuses them more is when the rock reach the ground beside the flower, a big monstrous mouth opens beside the flower itself and swallows it down. After few seconds, the ground and flower appears again and remains unharmed leaving them dumbfounded. They all looked at D.O who shook his head in the attention.

"Definitely, not 'our' flower! It has a somehow a mixture of blood red then gold petals towards the center." He state to them.

"Good thing it is not the flower." Kris raised his eyebrow and titled to his side.

"Such a shame we couldn't hear Umin hyung to sing let it g....ooooouuuch!!" Chen gasp in pain when Xiumin decided to shut him up by pulling his ear away from the other who are hindering their laughter from the two guys as they walk on by.

"Maybe that was Chen singing to Xiumin hyung to 'let it go!' instead." Kai chuckles and they all bursted out laughing instead.

Many hour later, they walk and walk but only saw more plants and feels that they are just circling the said forest. They decided to stop for a while and think about what to do next. 

"Hey, you're getting paler than this time." Kris suddenly notice the shorter male becoming white as cold sweat starts forming on his forehead.

 By the time they are venturing the forest, the said male already felt the heat, dizziness and weakening of his body. Good thing Kai was always beside him and put his uninjured arm around his waist for support and held him close when the other seems to be stumbling and squeeze his arm tight when he was in pain. Before he can start answering, he was interrupted by Baekbeom.

"I think we should rest here for a bit. It's not like that we can find the flower for just one day right? Besides, it is not like we can continue our journey since it was also a miracle we've reach this far with an unwell companion." Baekbeom stated which they all agreed. 

Their bodies are push to exhaustion since it was already night, as they all presumed and they need a break. It was also consideration on Kyungsoo's part since he seems to start going from uneasy to a total mess. 

"Are you still okay Kyungie? Where does it hurt?" Kai leans at Kyungsoo who decided to sit and lean over the tree.

They can feel a pang of guilt when the said male decided to curl himself and groans in pain clutching over his shirt and one hand grasping Kai's arms. 

"E......everything.....hurts.." Kai's heart almost break when he saw his love one cringe in pain so he decided to pat his back and says sweet words for him.

"I'm here Soo... just.. hang in there.. I know you can overcome it.. we are all here with you." Kai soothes his back by rubbing circles at his back.

"Can't we do something about it? He is hurting!!" Chen looks at Xuimin and Baekbeom since they are the only ones who knows some cure perhaps.

" I think I have seen this before. Just look over some of his stuffs and maybe we can see something good." Xuimin explains when they heard a loud ruffling of bush near them. Xuimin then grabs the pouch from Kyungsoo as he tried to look for something while the thers keep an alert mode for what is to happen.

"Oh no!! Sounds like trouble." Chen gasp when he felt a sudden movement on his back making its way up to his neck.

"Aaccckk!!!! Snake!!!" He yells and starts to shake his body and force whatever is moving from his body when Kris decided to help him and pull the thing outside from his shirt.

"This doesn't look like a snake to me. It looks familiar though." Kris mutters when the long scaly animal wraps its slender figure around his arms in a possesive way and hissed a little bit.

"That is no snake, that is a baby dragon. How come there is a rare creature here?" Baekbeom points at the creature and thinks how it gets to the place.

"Oh! That's right, I totally knew the little fellow here." Kris snap his head at them as he speak. "It is the same baby dragon that I have encounter back at the cave. Remember how I got him when we are separated back to one of our mission? This is the creature that Luhan decided to move in a sanctuary." He explains to them and saw the little creature gets a little weight. Somehow it was bigger and fatter then before.

"I've heard it got lost on the way where it was supposed to be delivered. Maybe it landed here and manage to track our scent." Xuimin explains to him.

"Ohhh.. here it is.... it's just suppressants, potion and pain killers. Where did you get this? " The older asks Kyungsoo presenting the suppressant.

"It was.... to keep me from attracting many enemies and keeping my scent.." Kyungsoo tells him in labored breathe when the pain subside a little. 

"I think something is out there. It must freak out this baby dragon to come to us like this." Kris said as he pats its head when it decided to curl on his bicep and rest on his neck.

They heard bushes rustling again and this time they paid attention to it. Kyungsoo suddenly flinch then tried to stand up with the help from Kai and Baekbeom.

"Something is coming this way, fast." He informs them and readied themselves. When the rustling is very near, they are all alert to see two person both in cloak, black turtle neck long sleeves beneath it with stylish ripped jeans.

"Whoa..... so this is where that dragon went." The two males was looking at the six men also looking at them with a hissing dragon.

"You look familiar to me...." Kai said to them.

"Hey... he's the.... F...." Donghae points at Kyungsoo as Eunhyuk elbowed him at his side.

"You're the guys who wanted to kidnap Kyungsoo hyung!!" Kai suddenly remembers and the others felt alarmed. Just when they where about to attack, the two held their hands in the air quickly gesturing they meant no harm to them.

" Ei.... ei...ei.. ei.. we mean no harm to you guys!! And to tell you the truth, we are no longer at Siwon's team... See? No tags!!" Eunhyuk decides to speak for themselves since they are outnumbered and they felt the surge of power emitting from the Fae which is somehow unstable for some reasons.

"Why do we need to trust you guys by the way?" Xiumin recalls the day when they where ambushed by the mall.

"You don't... I mean.. we don't want to fight you guys also since your little fae there seems to be in trouble. I seriously want a pet and give me back my dragon if you please." Donghae replies to them while gesturing Kris to handle the mini dragon to him.

"THIS is not yours since he said so. And he is already with me so go find another dragon. Sharing is not my style, sorry." He pet the dragon who lean over his touch.

"Guys, we seriously have to get out of here. Something big is heading this way." The fae alarms them with panic on his face for sure.

"But i though they were the ones...." Chen was interrupted when the ground shake and the trees starts to crack.

"What is that?" Kai points at the back of Donghae and Eunhyuk where trees started to fall and so are the bushes.

A big green skinned monster appear in front of them. It has a fat belly, huge mouth with sharp teeth, nails and feet. It is smelling through the air with its two holed nose, unformed eyes and bulky appearance.

"A bogart!! No need to panic, it is blind as a bat!" Eunhyuk calmed them but when the bogart releases a growl and decided to pick a tree near it, they all panic. 

The monster pulls the tree with its roots successfully then decides to swing it to their location, merely hitting Donghae and Eunhyuk who move closer to the guys.

"I thought it was blind as a bat?" Kris bark at him.

"I forgot that it has good senses to detect possible prey." He replies with a gulp. 

When Xiumin decides to freeze its feet, it manage to trip the bogart and fall in his face first. That is when the monster decided to swing the tree on its arm towards himself. The guys were caught unprepared, clearly hitting the two enemies with Kris Chen and Xiumin closer to the creature. When the bogart decided to crawl its way towards them ready to clobber any of them, shots of light bombs were thrown to it making it stop a little before groaning in pain caused by Baekbeom.

"Do something Hyuk!!!" Donghae ushers Eunhyuk to attack the beast.

"No one supposed to beat a bogart that easy. Besides, i'm wet, I can't use my ability yet, silly." The other protest as he help him stand up like the other guys were doing.

"Look out!" Chen shouts and before the two man notice it, Eunhyuk was pulled harshly out from Donghae ready to be eaten.

"Hyukkie!!!!" Donghae shouts, shocked to see his partner being separated at him.

"Aaaaahhhh... " Eunhyuk tried to free from its grasp but his attempt was futile so hr just close his eyes when he saw that the beast's mouth is just near to him. 

He readied himself for the pain but it never came, instead, a loud roar filled up the air coming from the beast. He was shock when he saw big vines starts to move its way to the body of the bogart successfully getting it tied securely causing it to drop its prey.

"How did that...." He looked at the monster one he landed to the ground peacefully and saw the now red haired boy placing a palm on the ground. Clearly stating that he was the one who controls the vine with his ability.

"Oh my gosh!! That was amazing!!" Donghae, on the other hand quickly hugs D.O making them stumble at the ground by the sudden act. 

"Hey!! Let go of him!!" Kai and Chen was pulling him away from the fae while he still hugs it and rubs his cheeks over the face of D.O.

"You save my Hyukkie's life!! I think I like you!!"He continued to blabber more nonsense words about appreciating him when another roar was heard.

"Here comes more trouble..." Xiumin informs them and they all becomes alert, once again. There was not only two bogarts, but three more appears.

"Now I suggest, we run!" Baekbeom motion for them to get out of the place since they've attract more attention. Baekbeom tried to lift D.O since he find it troublesome to get the unstable fae on his feet when Kai decided to pull the other and make Kris carry him in a bridal style since of his injury. 

"Hold D.O for me hyung!!" Kai said and Kris obeys.

They all run away from the monsters, leading with baekbeom leading the way. That is when they made the wrong turn and stop when they all made it pass through a narrow hole of a stone. It was a dead end when Baekbeom stops just to step at the edge of the cliff where they will meet an angry rushing water with a fall on the side. He turns around and tries to warn them. 

"It's dead end!!Stop!"

The key word was try since the group stop too late for them to notice cliff clearly squishing to one another pushing them near the cliff. And atlast, just like they have all the luck, courtesy of Donghae and Eunhyuk, they all gasp when the bogarts hand manage its way to the hole making them all fall off the cliff with a force by the two knocking them all out.Kai doesn't even have enough time to gather them all and teleport so they all fall down to the gushing water. 

Clearly making their way to catch their breath, they were all safe and still fine when they heard a shriek from Chen. 

"Water falls!!!" Chen screamed and they all tried to find something to hold when Donghae and Baekbeom only manage to grab the nearest branch. They tried to grab onto other but the currents are strong and pushing them all away. In the end, they only manage to save Chen.

"Guys!!!" Chen called for them but they were carried away fast by the river.

"Let's wait for them at the bottom of the fall." Baekbeom announced which the two nods afterwards.

Meanwhile, Xiumin only manage to make an ice block where they can all settle before they went near the falls. Kai, Kris with the dragon and Kyungsoo, and Eunhyuk successfully went in the said ice preparing them for the fall.

"Hold close with each other!" He said preparing them for the worst as they fall. Good thing is that the falls is only five feet so they all sigh at their luck.

"I hate rivers." Kyungsoo sighs and hugs Kai close to him who hugs him tigthly also in return.

"I know, but were all safe here. Don't worry." Kai kissed him in the cheeks earning a blush from him.

"Don't be sure yet. Look! Another fall!" Eunhyuk points to it when they all readied once again.

"Maybe it is just again a small fall...... what THE HELL!!!" Kris cursed when they all saw how tall this fall is. It is like a twenty feet story building and they all scream at the sight of falling down the edge as they were thrown out of their floating ice support. They all readied themselves at the impact of the water as they fall.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Xuimin felt once again the same feeling he had when Tao let him saw something on his vision. He was once again in a close dark room and nothing was familiar to him when somebody talks behind the door as it opens. 

"Until how will we wait for our plan to wake them up?" A stern voice speaks.

"Let's just wait for the right time until Siwon brought more negative forces back and wait for him to wake up." he hears another voice which is another male but he was not certain who they are. 

"How about we just let move to get what we need?" the first voice speaks again.

"We will.. and its not that long to get him here. Look, seems one of them starts to wake." He was taken back when the door opens and he turns back against the door only to find pair of eye looking at him with fierce eye.

"It's about time we meet." It speaks to him as its face clearly shows up. He was shocked to see a familiar face which he saw somewhere but he didn't knew where. The man comes nearer to him and the room got more narrower making the face to open its mouth and readied to swallow him whole just like what he fear. 

"no... stop.. .GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" 

~~~~~~~~~

Chen tried to not to wake his boyfriend up but the stirring the other makes, made him want to check him and shake him awake. It seems that he is having trouble on his sleep. But once he is near him, he was taken by surprise when Xiumin screamed for him to get away with red eyes greeting him and a hand that shove him aside.

"Ouch!!" He yelps in pain.

Xiumin was back on his consciousness when he heard Chen's voice and saw him hissing in cold and his shoulder and arm are enveloped with ice making his eyes widen at the sight.

"Minnie...are you..trying to make an icicle out of me?" Chen tremble at his cold side. 

"S.....sorry! You startled me!!"Xiumin apologized and melt the ife on his shoulders and arms.

"Where are we?" he then asks.

"I dunno... we somehow end up here after we fall before. Good thing Eunhyuk-ssi manage to get us all out of the water before we drown ourselves.

"Where's D.O?" The idea of an enemy helped them came to his mind and searched for the fae.

"He is....well.... i'm sorry...." Chen looks down and saw a hint of disappointment or betray on his face letting his hunch was right.

"What do you mean?" He then start to stand up and head outside pushing Chen out of the way.

"Wait!!!" Chen tried to stop him but the smaller was fast to reach the open ground where he heard voices. 

It was clearly morning but the shade of the sun was clearly clouded making him stand the heat and sun rays. He then saw familiar faces and saw Eunhyuk laughing with Kai and Kris as he grab Eunhyuk by his collar.

"Where's D.O?" His eyes flashed with red towards the offended man who just have his mouth wide open by the sudden act.

"Xiumin hyung, your up early than expected. Wanna have some breakfast?" D.O was there with big innocent eyes carrying some wild boar around followed by Donghae and Baekbeom.

"Your....your okay.." Xiumin releases his hold on Eunhyuk and he looks back to check D.O.

"Whooa... thanks man..." Eunhyuk suddenly mutters but Xiumim just brush it away and Donghae moves next to him.

"Yeah... I mean.. my body seems okay now thanks to Eunhyuk-ssi here." Kyungsoo told him.

"Wait, don't tell me Chen really pursue his joke about D.O being caught by Eunhyuk since we warned him on how you will react?" Kai tilted his head and the older felt he was prank by the dino face.

"Oh no you don't!" Xiumin then glares at Chen who gulps in fear.

"Uhmm.... kk...kkaebsong?" he ing stuttered.

"Now you will pay for that you troll!!!" He warns him and speed fast to the running dino. The other guys just laugh while they saw the two chasing with each other.

"Where to next?" Kai asks D.O. who put the boar into the fire for roasting.

"From here, let's just start to go towards dragon's valley and let this guy lead the way." He taps the little dragon's head who cooed at him.

"How do we know that creature will not let us lost in our way?" Baekbeom asks.

"Trust his instinct 'coz baby dragon's sense is much trustable than any other creatures here." He assures them.

They were on their deep thought when Chen's screams filled the air, as well as Xiumin's making them all laugh at them.
