Those words still rang through their minds and their hearts were racing. After that event, the Thea members rehearsed to perfection. It doesn't matter if it was already morning, it doesn't if their bodies were tired, their determination was fully set. There were no distractions. Not even the negative comments of their teaser videos dampened down their mood. They were very, very eager about their debut.

 

 

They spent their time wisely. All of their attentions were focused on only one goal: to debut. No wait, scratch that part. To BE the BEST debuting group. Chaerin and Sarah as the leaders took good care of their members and they made sure that they are in perfect health and condition. Of course, they also talked about their songs and the Thea logo. They distributed everything and prepared what was needed.

 

Right now, is the moment of their truth. Their sunbaes will be watching them. South Korea will be watching them. The whole world will be watching them perform their debut single. Taking a deep breath, Chaerin and Sarah smiled encouragingly at each other.

"...And now, for another group doing their most memorable performance, we have a girl group consisting of 12 members which is the largest girl group in the Kpop history for now, debuting under the label of YG Entertainment. Let us now welcome Thea with their debut song...SHOCKWAVE!" FT Island's Lee Hongki, the MC of the show, enthusiastically introduced the girls. However, after a while, he was confused and so is everyone inside the venue.

 

 

'W-What? Where are they?' was the thought of the perplexed and puzzled population. Back stage, a group of four and five smirked. 'Let the games begin'

 

 

Suddenly, the arena turned dark for a moment before the spotlight was turned into the screen. The word 'THEA' was shown in the screen before it was flipped into 'THEA' then scrambled and turned into 'SHOCKWAVE' and afterwards transforming into 'SHOCKWAVE'. Then, it flickered into the scene were in 6 teens were standing in front of the huge mirror, wearing white blouses and white pants as well as white sandals. Reflecting them were six other teens wearing black tops with matching black leather jackets and black jeans which some parts are ripped and black heeled sandals. Those in white have cheerful smiles on their faces while the ones in black have their lips into a thin line. The one standing in the middle, Hestia looked at them with eyes full of sorrow, she gestured a hand and then those in white found themselves in a different time line, probably in the ancient times.

Intro

 

 

...Experience things seemed impossible
See unfamiliar sights out of this world
By the power bestowed upon the earth
In turn given to the deities
Ruling the world in harmony
Balance existing within
For centuries, peaceful the world was
Despite the wars that surfaced
The cruelty shown by mankind
A bright, shimmering hope is there
But...a downfall came
No longer did the fire burn fiercely
The cold, humid zephyr put if off
And in a blink, everything was in ruins
Forgotten, buried deep under, given no attention, held no importance
Tears of snow white pain turned into crimson, boiling hatred
Vengeance soaring the veins
Piercing the heart
..............like a shockwave!

The girls in white saw the girls in black inside the majestic palace, they assumed that it was a temple. A Greek temple perhaps? They have witnessed that those who were in black were smiling and was laughing along with other girls and were receiving recognitions. Then the scene changed into when the said girls were out-casted by their own families, they were punished. Every day and every night. Their bodies were full of bruises and dried wounds. But then it flickered into the scene were these girls' eyes were filled with such loathing and the one in the farthest right, Hebe plucked her bow and as it was approaching to the heart of a bloodied man, the memory ended. The girls dressed in Black, Diva, stretched out their arms towards their counterparts. Divus, the girls in white, hesitated. The Diva members smirked and grab their waists, taking them inside the mirror. The mirror was the world of painful memories of Diva. They watched them suffer. They watched them struggle for their life. Until to their last breathe, were in they mouthed 'Revenge will be ours'.

1st rap (Hebe)

From there and onwards I saw below
The land I once called as paradise
Where I spend my entire being, life
But then all the smiles turned into cries
It was drowned with unfading sorrow
The happy day goes away and flies
Hoping that I may overcome this strife
And end the dark era full of lies


Refrain (Persephone)
The streaming river of lava continuously flows
Passing, breaking, crushing and burning down everything in flames

 

 

Verse 1
(Aphrodite)
Against the dark blue skies,
The stars and the moon shines brightly
Happily twinkling upon the surface
The navy waters reflecting their joy


(Ceres)
As the sun rises up again
The darkness covering the world dispels
Yet the feeling gets heavier and heavier
The light and heat didn't affect the cold wind


Chorus (All)

Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh


2nd rap (Hecate)
The orbs are now dim and lifeless
Long ago, filled with mirth, now gloom
The body had grown tired and weaken
Never staying at any part of the room
Leaving the mind and soul restless
The feeling of anxiety spreads and bloom
Fingers beginning to be vigorously shaken
Silently counting and waiting for the sound of doom


Refrain (Artemis)
The streaming river of lava continuously flows
Passing, breaking, crushing and burning down everything in flames


Verse 2
(Tyche)
The flowers the blossoms
Lucky and fortunate to have such beauty
The majestic, lovely rose kept a secret
And then, pricks its thorns with an intent to paint


(Hestia)
The ground was covered in red
And the hand continues to bleed more
The thorn descended into further
Howling in agony, it still remains

Chrous (All)

Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh


3rd rap (Hera)
The scene was so sickening and gory
The water from the eyes fell unnoticed
Quivering with such fear, they were slaughtered
That crooked smile contains so much malice
Happy endings are banned in the story
In their environment exist no peace
Their screams of anguish and pain was not heard
The freedom was cut down and was cease

 

Refrain (Persephone)
The streaming river of lava continuously flows
Passing, breaking, crushing and burning down everything in flames

 

 

Verse 3
(Hestia)
Chains wrapped around me
Seemed impossible to break
Now its getting tighter and tighter
May someone help me get out?


(Aphrodite)
Finally free and safe
However, an unfamiliar emotion strikes
Unexplained anger swelled up inside
Trying to decipher the enigma


Chorus (All)
Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh


4th rap (Iris)
This time I came to realize
The sentiments deep inside
The things ought to be done soon
Hatred that I'm trying to hide
The darkness increases in size
Sharpened blades never leaving thy side
Facing the phase of the rare blue moon
Awaits the vengeance I'm suppressing to bide

 

Refrain (Artmis)
The streaming river of lava continuously flows
Passing, breaking, crushing and burning down everything in flames


Verse 4
(Tyche)
Alas! The long wait is over
I can now do what I wish
No more orders to follow
No more rules to bind me


(Ceres)
The dagger in my hand
Glistening against the moonlight
Oh! How it could appear more majestic?
With blood covering it, it will be


Chorus (All)
Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh


Bridge (Hera)
The innocence has been cracked
The darkness came in and took over
Nothing seems clear to the mind
But...the task of Revenge!
Vengeance! Revenge! Vengeance!
The will to Avenge!


Chorus (All)
Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh


Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries, and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh
 

 

Last rap (Athena)
No matter, whenever, whatever
Nothing was meant to last forever
Everything was built to be destroyed
Chaos ensues because of silence
Loathing is born because of love
Physical pain may be washed away
But the words shall forever be buried in your brain
They penetrate through your entire being
Like a shockwave entering your body
Thunder and Lightning will take the crown
The dark, gray clouds will produce the storm
The storm that will cleanse it all...

Cleanse it all...

 

 

Chorus (All)
Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time
But the grief and pain of the heart never fades away
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums may pass by
Whatever happens, come what may
It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh


Coda (Nike)
Erase...Delete...Remove
Erase...Delete...Remove
Erase...Delete...Remove
Eliminate the useless...
Eliminate the worthless...
Eliminate...Eliminate...Eliminate...
Eliminate the useless...
The worthless...
The useless....
The worthless...
Eliminate them all...Eliminate them all!

Divus could feel their hearts beat faster than ever, their breathes went rigid. And with fear, they screamed. Their eyes fluttered open only to see their Big Bang and 2ne1 looking at them with concern. They stood up very fast, eyes frantically searching for something.

 

 

"Where are they?" they asked their sunbaes.


"Where are who?" asked  a confused Minzy. "We haven't seen anyone else inside the museum"

 

 

"M-m-museum?" they stuttered. They sighed and ran a hand through their hairs. They let their gazes wander from every corner of the museum but they didn't see any signs of Diva. 'But...it felt so real'

 

 

"Come on now" Each member of Big Bang and Dara put an arm around their dongsaengs. "Let's go home, you guys must be tired from all the sleeping you made"

 

"Y-YAH!"

 

 

Big Bang and 2ne1 laughed at Divus' faces. With one last look at the museum they headed out. When they were out of sight, Diva came out from the pillars that they are using as shields.

 

 

"Well...that was fun!~" Artemis sarcastically commented. Hebe laughed  and put her arms on her shoulder. "At least the burden is lighter"

 

 

"Now, now you two" chided Hestia. "Don't be that way"

 

 

Aphrodite shook her head while Tyche just sighed. "Hey Hera! What do you think?"

 

 

Hera let out a chuckle. "It doesn't end here"

 

 

At the same time, the six of them looked at the direction that Divus, Big Bang and 2ne1 had taken. Before identical smirks crawled upon their faces. "That was just only the tip of the ice berg"

 

 

The screen then went into black before the words 'SHOCKWAVE' and 'THEA' scrambled into 'TO BE CONTINUED...' before it then turned into 'TO BE CONTINUED...'

---

---

The audience was stunned. Each one of them, including the host himself was speechless. But after a while, he regained his composure and smiled. "Well...that was a dark yet great song now was it?"

 

 

And the crowd cheered. "Since they just debuted, let's call on THEA!"

 

 

Chaerin and Sarah nervously approached Hongki and then bowed down. "Annyeonghaseyo~  Thea's representatives are here"

 

 

 "Annyeonghaseyo! This is Hecate" smiled Chaerin. Sarah grinned and bowed. "And I am Hestia"

 

 

"As you can see out of 12, there are only two of us here..." started Chaerin. "Hestia and I are the only ones whom are assigned to stay in Korea"

 

 

The last sentence aroused another round of confusion. Assigned? Korea? Huh? Many questions were swirling in the minds of everyone.

 

 

"If it isn't too much to ask, may we call the other members of Thea?" with a nod from the director, the big screen was divided into 10 squares. The names 'Ceres, Nike, Aphrodite, Persephone, Tyche, Iris, Hebe, Artemis, Athena and Hera' appeared from the top to the bottom respectively.

 

 

"Konbawa" greeted Ceres. "It's me Ceres of Thea. Nice to meet cha~ Currently, I am here in Tokyo"

 

 

"Annyeong~ Nike of Thea here reporting from Taipei" Nike waved a hand and smiled.

 

 

Aphrodite winked. "Hello!~ Aphrodite present at Manila!"

 

 

Persephone bowed. "Persephone here at Kuala Lumpur. Hey there~"

 

 

"Yo!~  Tyche here and present in Vancouver" smiled Tyche.

 

 

"Hi hi~ Iris in California reporting for duty~" waved Iris.

 

 

"Bonsoir~" Hebe smiled. "Hebe here and in Paris"

 

 

"Hiya~" said Artemis. "It is Artemis here in Stockholm"

 

 

"Wake up sister!" a cute voice spoke up and everyone saw a little girl around 10 shaking  someone on the bed. "5 more minutes"


"Sister! You need to wake up now!~"   the one being shaken sighed and blinked her eyes before looking at the camera and hide her face again. "Sophia, cover the camera" 

 

 

The little girl said 'Sorry' and covered the screen. After a few minutes, the cover as lifted and Sophia sat on the bed. Sighing, she can't do anything but smile slightly. "Annyeong! Athena here at your service in Berlin"

 

 

"Sorella! Wake up!" everyone turned their attention onto the last square wherein a boy around the age of 6 was pouting. "5 more hours" grumbled the one wrapped with a blanket.

 

 

Everyone especially the Thea members sighed. "She's still tired eh?"

 

 

"Sorella! If you don't wake up! You don't love me anymore!" the child sniffed and within a second later, the person woke up. "I'm up! I'm up!" she picked up the boy and placed him on her lap. She combed her hair using her hand. She smirked at the camera. "Ciaossu! Hera in Venice present and up~" she saluted using her middle and index finger.

 

 

"Theacious! You're journey and destination, Thea imnida~" the members joyfully introduced themselves. "As a gift, we will sing the chorus for you"

 

 

"Fate and destiny can be rewritten through the hands of time. But the grief and pain in the heart never fades away. Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries and millenniums may pass by. Whatever happens, come what may. It can never erase the fresh wound embedded on the flesh"

 

 

Thea sang the chorus without being accompanied by music. Just their voices. The other ten members of Thea were apologetically smiling, some are biting their lips while others were smirking-meaning Hera and Athena. The audience along with MCs and idols that were present are in total state of shock. Before they could even realized it, the other ten members of Thea had already bid farewell and the screen was turned off.

 

"Wow...Just...Wow" Hongki muttered still amazed by the performance of the girls. Chaerin and Sarah smiled at him. Then, he snapped out of his daze before turning back to the crowd. "That was great right?" he asked that got a loud 'YEAH' from the audiences. "Thank you Thea~" 

 

Both leaders grinned and waved at the crowd for the last time before they disappeared into the backstage.

The Next Day....

 

The following morning, the leaders of Thea were called up by the CEO to his office. Nervously, the entered and was engulfed in a group hug. Big Bang and 2ne1 were grinning at them and the CEO smiled at them in approval.

 

"You guys have definitely taken the entire world by storm"
