Episode - 4

Let's start the story now:

"Grab him", Jungkook barked, half - command, half - snarl. His boots crushed throughout the corpse of a drone as he stalked towards him.

" He's coming with us."

" What if he runs?" Justin snapped back, grinning as he skidded past a collapsing support beam.

"He won't", Jungguk 's voice was rough, dark, and certain. " Look at him. He knows he's already caught". Jungguk's chains snaked toward him feet like living thing, and that's when Tae tried to step out, tried to run.

" Don't fight it,. little fracture. You belong..."

Jungguk said nothing. Just steeped in close enough that his glowing finger tips brushed the collar on his neck, still sparkling weakly, before it fizzled competely into ruin.

" Get away from me", Tae growled. His fists clenched. His voice cracked, not from fear. From the rage. From fire. His body trembles, his skin electric. The flickering parts of the broken systems around him sparked, reacting to something. Him. " You don't own me."

Silence.

For one heartbeat, one single breath, nothing moved. Then Jungkook smiled. Slow, dark. Dangerous. Tae held his breath. " Oh", he murmured, stepping closer until his towering frame swallowed him whole. His eyes burned. Almost as if they are saying," Little human, I do not think you understand". His clawed hand lifted, hovering near his jaw but not quite touching. Not yet. Not until he either flinched or fought. And he did neither; he froze. " We don't take what's ours". His voiced dropped, a velvet thread at the end of a smile. " We claim it". What none of them knew was that he was not one person's thing to claim. He was much more than that. In reality, they were his to claim. Their existence was bound to the thing they wanted, the person in front of them.

Jungguk's grip was steel wrapped in fire. No matter how Tae kicked, twisted,or clawed at him, he didn't so much as stumble. His plasma wings curved protectively over him, deflecting the storm of bullets and debris raining down. " Put me down!" He yelled, shoving his fists against his chest. "No", His voice was steads calm, as if the world itself were an unbreakable law of the universe. But even his perfect calm faltered for a split second, right as something sharp, fast, and deadly sliced through air.

A dagger.

Not just thrown, hurled with a perfect precision. A glint of steel, aimed straight for Tae. Time seemed to fractured. His breath caught, his heart stopped. Too fast. I couldn't move. It's going to hit. Before Tae could blink or say anything, clang. Jungkook's clawed hand caught the blade midair - no wasted movement. No effort. Just a sharp pivot of his wrist, catching the dragger between two fingers like it was nothing. The impact sparked against his claws, metal shrieking, fracturing.
