One Again
IZ*ONE SAGA"HEY WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

"I know you are raring to go and fight those remaining bad guys but first, let us heal you."
Minjoo stepped in front of Prince and flicked the pink haired angel, preventing Prince from advancing towards the Great Four chamber.
"Ouch! Minjoo is a meanie!"
Prince pouted as he slumped down on the ground, sulking when the rest of the group just laughed at his antics. Hitomi just shakes her head as she helped Minjoo and the unicorn to rejuvenate themselves.
"You can't fight with such states. Rest for a bit and recharge your energy, then we'll all go into there, alright?"
Hitomi laughed happily as she get to see everyone again. It's been quite some time for them to be able gathering like this as countless predicament keep on showering them. At one point, Hitomi even thought to ask everyone to take some purification bath, just to make sure there's none bad omen following them all this time.
While Minjoo, Hitomi and the unicorn is busy healing everyone, there's a pair of people just standing at the back of the group. One person is staring intensely at another person who fixed his gaze on the ground. Some flapping sounds behind him making his change his gaze and a gentle smile emerge on the stoic face.
Chaeyeon couldn't help but sighed at Kwangbae who seems livelier than before. He is a little bit more approachable after forming contract with Greer, a brown haired angel. Kwangbae is about to talk to Chaeyeon but suddenly, a few more figures stepped beside Chaeyeon while crossing their chest. Eunbi, Minjoo, Hitomi, Nako and Chaeyeon are surrounding Kwangbae who already blinking nervously while scratching his nape.
"Err… Long time no see?"
Kwangbae tried greeting them casually, offering an awkward smile to ease up the suddenly tensed atmosphere. However, the angel flinched when a punch almost hit him and Kwangbae instinctively crouching on the ground while protecting his head.
"Stupid Hyewon! How come you leave us!"
Eunbi snarled at the angel who is rooted to the ground.
"You make me worried for nothing!"
Chaeyeon continuously punched Kwangbae who didn't even retaliate.
"I thought you were dead!"
Minjoo puffed her cheek as she slapped Kwangbae back.
"You shall not eat!"
Nako growled at Kwangbae while kicking Kwangbae.
"At least leave some message, you dimwit!"
Hitomi yelled in tears while shaking Kwangbae.
"Owww, owww! Not my face! Ouch! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Stop beating me!"
Kwangbae timidly trying to stop the girls from raging too much but then, he knows that he deserves the punishment. While squatting on the floor, grieving on his choice, Kwangbae couldn't help but reminded at time when he met the other six troublemakers earlier. Despite all of those punches and kicks, Kwangbae can feel something warm swirling inside his chest.
It's hurts but then… I think I already found what I yearned for all this time.
"Now, now ladies. We can beat this stupid hamster next time but now, let's finish our important matter first."
Prince stepping in while smiling widely, trying to convince the girls to divert their focus on the main matter. However, the glint in Prince eyes are saying that he is rather serious with his talk. Seeing Prince being serious is quite a rare occasion and thus, the girls stopped punishing Kwangbae. Even Eunbi stopped her knuckles from knocking down Kwangbae who is almost losing his entire HP if Prince didn't step in.
"Alright then, we might as well tied Hyewon and hung her on a tree to be our punching bag."
Hitomi pouted while giving her suggestions which is quickly agreed by the rest of the girls.
Remind me not to piss Hitomi off or else she might do something even more dangerous.
Kwangbae send his message with Prince via their shared telepathic connection. The receiver really need hefty amount of effort to not suddenly burst out his laugh at Kwangbae words.
"Of course, all of us will take turns to beat Hyewon while training."
Eunbi added while huffing which made Kwangbae shuddered in fear, thinking about his uncertain future. Prince couldn't help but smile seeing at his beloved comrade.
"Atta girl. That's more like it."
Prince patted Eunbi head before moving away from the leader, dragging both Nako and Chaeyeon with him. He had several things to discuss with the girls regarding their journey through the new dungeon that seems to have some connection with Advinar. Little did Prince know that Eunbi is blushing hard after receiving a pat from the younger kid.
"With our current force, it might be hard to defeat the remaining three but it's not impossible."
Nako shared her thoughts after telling Prince about their journey before arriving Advinar. She told everything about her strategy after carefully taking consideration of their current power together with everyone familiar capabilities.
"If things turned ugly, we might be able to retreat into the dungeon safe area. With 12 of us combining our strength, clearing the dungeon will be a walk in the park."
Chaeyeon added. Prince nodded while revising a strategy to ensure everyone will be safe and they manage to beat those remaining Great Four.
As he is pondering deeply, Prince heart suddenly pounding hard, making him kneeled on the ground.
What is this voice?
A cold voice suddenly echoed in his ears, making his feets turned jelly.
Power… I need more power...
"Hey what's wrong? Prince? Prince!"
Chaeyeon is surprised seeing Prince who is suddenly groaning on the ground with sweat dripping from his forehead. As she tried to hold on Prince, she can feel the body of her friend is trembling greatly, not to mention that Prince temperature is rising, making the pink haired guy face turned beet red.
Get out of my head! Go away!
Ignoring Chaeyeon's desperate call, Prince is focusing to rid this mysterious voice from his mind.
Devour… Conquer… Don't spare anyone…
Damn it, I won't give in!
