"Another day, another promotion." (Zhou Mi)

Zhou Mi has recently debuted solo and has been promoting for the passed few weeks. Tomorrow will be his last day of promotions and he'll be able to take a break.

"Good work today. Just need to perform one last time tomorrow and you'll be free for the time being." (Ryuah)

"Thanks. I never thought that going solo could be this tiring. But it's worth it. I could never do this went I was with Power Line." (Zhou Mi)

"Because back then, idols in groups couldn't really venture into solo projects. Glad things have changed since the 2nd generation." (Ryuah)

While they were talking, Zhou Mi starts to wonder about something else.

"By the way, how did you get this mansion?" (Zhou Mi)

"It was given to me by my great aunt, who was also a necromancer and my idol. I learned a lot from her." (Ryuah)

"But if she was a necromancer, why didn't she ask you to revive her?" (Zhou Mi)

"Because it's what she wanted. She saved people at the cost of her own life. That's why I idolized her."

"Sacrificial natural... I can see where you got that from." Zhou Mi said that jokingly and the two started to laugh.

 

Meanwhile in China, Power Line was getting ready for their first South Korean tour. And it's the first time they're going to South Korea since that whole thing with Super Junior M.

"Our first South Korean tour. I CAN'T WAIT!" (Xiao Lu)

Xiao Lu seemed to be more excited for this tour. Because it's the first time Power Line is having a South Korean tour since the first generation. But the others are having seconds thoughts.

"I'm still not so sure about this. I mean, after what happened last time..." (Kang Ling)

"We're doing the same thing as his idol. So I wouldn't be too surprised." (Jin Hai)

"Still, what if we bump into them again?" (Si Yu)

"Yeah. I still got chills from that time at the airport..." (Liang Qing)

That scene of Zhou Mi's arm getting ripped off still haunts them to this day. I mean, you just saw a zombie's arm falling off right in front of you. Wouldn't that just scare anyone? Well... unless that person is somewhat of a psycho.

"When was the first generation's tour held again?" (Jin Hai)

Si Yu was just checking his phone. "1997. So 26 years ago."

"That long... And I don't think they show any clips on TV since Zhou Mi's death. We only seen him in internet clips." (Liang Qing)

"Speaking of internet clips..." (Kang Ling)

Xiao Lu was watching one of Zhou Mi's old movies. This was one of the rare cases that a member of a 90's idol group in any country was taking solo ventures.

"Please wait for me. One day, I'll reach your level." (Xiao Lu)

"Lu, don't you think you're taking your obsession a bit too far?" (Kang Ling)

"I'm not being obsessive." (Xiao Lu)

"Actually, you are." (Si Yu)

But now matter how much they talk into this, they know they can't change Xiao Lu's mind.

 

Power Line's tour was announced on South Korean news channels. All their Korean fans were excited. But Super Junior...

"A South Korean tour?" (Zhou Mi)

"What's wrong with that?" (Heechul)

"Nothing's wrong. It's just that I'm a bit surprised. From what I read on the internet, Power Line hasn't done any tours in Korea since my generation." (Zhou Mi)

"Maybe they're taking a change of pace?" (Henry)

"Or maybe not. I mean, remember last time we saw them? And the airport?" (Han Geng)

And as soon as he said that, it didn't take long for the M members to remember the disasters during their Chinese promotions. Zhou Mi's arm getting ripped off, everyone around them at the airport saw everything, Xiao Lu planning on killing Zhou Mi (that one's still just a theory)... If it wasn't for Han Geng's quick thinking, they would've been exposed immediately.

"Han Geng, I need your help." (Ryuah)

"Sure." (Han Geng)

As soon as Han Geng left the room with Ryuah, he suddenly screamed in Chinese. Based on the way he's talking, he's probably on the phone. And of course, only Zhou Mi and Henry can understand fully while Siwon and Kyuhyun can understand occasionally. The rest of them... are still learning.

"What was that about?" (Heechul)

"Just got a call from Power Line's agency." (Han Geng)

"WHAT?!"

"But why would they call us?" (Youngwoon)

"Power Line needs a place to stay and none of the hotels in the stadium areas are doing it for them." (Han Geng)

"Even though they're such a big deal? Did Power Line take a wrong turn after I died?!" (Zhou Mi)

"Of course, I refused. We can't risk getting exposed after the airport incident." (Han Geng)

"So, what now?" (Jungsoo)

"Me and Ryuah decided to meet up with them to discuss some things. I'm not going to let this happen again." (Han Geng)

"... Sorry." (Zhou Mi)

"You don't need to apology, Zhou Mi. That was all Xiao Lu last time." (Han Geng)

"He's right. And the rest of them seem perfectly sane." (Sungmin)

"And..." (Han Geng)

"And what?" (Heechul)

"I don't have a good feeling about this..." (Zhou Mi)

 

And he was right. They were invited to guest star in Power Line's concert in Seoul. Of course, Han Geng initially refuse, but as with the case of many, the pleas became so irritating that they had no other choice.

"Can things get so much worse?!" (Zhou Mi)

"At least it's an indoor stadium..." (Henry)

Last time, due to Xiao Lu's plans, Super Junior M performed in a storm. Although they got electrocuted (and survived 'cause duh, they're zombies), they managed to pull their last concert off with a magnificent light show. But this time, they're indoors. So even if it's storming outside, there's no way to get electrocuted by lightning.

"Mimi-ge?" (Henry)

"Sorry, Henry. I was just thinking." (Zhou Mi)

"About what?" (Henry)

"From what I read online, Power Line has gone through so much since I died. At first, I thought they disbanded. But they kept the group alive by doing rotations. I'm just glad they kept the name." (Zhou Mi)

Once Zhou Mi finished getting ready, he went through the back door to see the stage and he was shocked. It's exactly like the stage from his tour with Power Line.

"This is..." (Zhou Mi)

"Obsession gone too far. We know." (Liang Qing)

"Obsession?" (Zhou Mi)

"Lu-ge has been a crazy fan even after joining Power Line. He would do anything to be like his idol." (Jin Hai)

"His idol?" (Zhou Mi)

"You'd be surprised if you hear his name. It's Zhou Mi, like you." (Liang Qing)

That took Zhou Mi by surprise. Not by the name, but that Xiao Lu idolizes him to the point of unhealthy obsession.

"Sorry we dragged you into this." (Liang Qing)

"No, it's fine. Your agency does have some serious problem, though." (Zhou Mi)

"We know. It only got worse after we debuted. But we can't quit." (Jin Hai)

"Power Line has a legacy, I know." (Zhou Mi)

"Huh?" (Liang Qing, Jin Hai)

"I saw online that despite your agency initially planned to disband Power Line, they decided to keep it for the fans. So they added more members and did rotations. All to keep the spirit of their first and best center's spirit alive." (Zhou Mi)

Ryuah told Zhou Mi about Power Line's history since his death prior to Super Junior M's formation so he was fully aware of their situation. And although he can't say it, it felt good to have a talk with his juniors.

"In the words of the founding members; Do your best, be the best." (Zhou Mi)

"Big fan?" (Jin Hai)

"Maybe." Zhou Mi joked and they laughed.

They decided to keep their friendship from Xiao Lu since he's still insane from their last encounter. Power Line's first concert in Seoul with a guest appearance from Super Junior was a big success. As long as they people remember you, you'll always have a legacy.
