BTS To The Edge of The Sky: Plots & Twists of the Past

Files To Steal

Letting Five close the door for you, you give him a smile as he returns it. "Nice job, back there Seven." He says. "Thanks..... You look good in that." You pointed to his suit as he stood stiff and pretended to salute you. "Okay, Nine's calling for you, Seven. You better go back." Eight appeared once again with his arms at his sides and warm smile on his face.

Excusing yourself, you moved off to where the leader, Nine, was currently watching the whole team. "Great job Seven. Fast and smooth as always." Nine helped you up the hidden side of a wall where he had been watching with you earlier.

"Thank you." Was your short reply. Glancing around, you caught sight of Eight making a pouty face, meaning he was bored, which made you smile a bit. Five seemed lost in his own little world just staring at the wall opposite of him.

Letting yourself sit crossed-legged, you relax and look over to your far right just over Eight and Five where Four had laid down with his sniper still fixed in position.

Feeling something move to your left, you immediately turn your head only to see Zero approaching you and Nine. "Hey." You tell him. He smiled shortly and sat beside you. "Hey." Was all he replied back.

"Ah Zero. You didn't bump into anyone on the way back here did you?" Nine noticed his presence and faced your direction. "None hyung." He shook his head lightly.

"Um, what are we looking for again?" You asked Nine, forgetting your reason for breaking into an abandoned factory.

"Files that can support us in finding out where High Priestess and KAIROS went off to hide."

"Oh right" you muttered.

With the thought in mind, you remember, it's been a year and 2 months now since you've become Seven. In which KAIROS had fled away to hide somewhere else saying they'll return with more power.

Dismissing the thought, you look to your right, where Nine seemed to be intensely focused on the other members who were at the lab while to your left, Zero had his arms crossed and he looked at certainly nothing but the wall.

"Ah this stinks." A silent voice said through the coms. Looking at every other member, they were looking towards the window up above where Four had stood up and started stretching. "You bored hyung?" Five's deep voice said through the coms.

"Heck yeah..."

Hearing the assassin's voice, you continued to look up to where he stood. "Careful Four, someone might see you." Nine says but his stare was still to the lab. "Yeah yeah, got it."

Inside the lab, at the moment, Six was standing next to a perspiring Three. "Are you done yet? Four's getting really bored." Six pouted. "Do you really think this is easy?!" Tree tried not to raise his voice too much although he had turned his coms off in attempt to focus more.

Three's augs has been on from the beginning but he still had a hard time hacking the damned computer. Until- "Wait... I think I found it." Hearing this, Six leaned in closer to see the screen. Three types in a few more codes into the computer and-

"FINALLY!"

Six moved away in an instant due to his hyung's suddenly booming voice. His eyes shutting themselves in slight agony. Five had opened the door with Eight peeking next to him. Nearly everyone had looked towards the direction of the lab since Three's voice was clearly heard.

Lucky for team Alpha, there was no one else in the abandoned factory to hear the sudden shout.

Three turned his coms back on and told Nine, who told him to finally download the file so you all could leave.

"Ok, I got it!" Three stood up straight holding a USB and stretched a bit as Six walked towards the door which Five and Eight had left open for them.

"Was it really that complicated it took you 5 minutes to hack a little computer?" Four jumped down from the open window with a rope in his hand and his sniper strapped behind him.

Nine jumped down from your hiding place as you and Zero followed. The group gathered just in front of the lab where the night sky was able to shine through the windows; forming eight shadows.

"You have no idea how hard it was! I'll delete this then why don't you go try it yourself!?" Three looked somewhat funny, even Nine had to suppress his laugh and turned it into a small smile. Meanwhile Six had a grin on with you and Zero giggling silently. Five smiled lightly while Eight held his shoulder for support from laughing too hard.

"Nine hyung can we go home now? What's for dinner??" Five came around, Eight just right behind him.

Nine turned to Four who had his arms crossed. "Make me." He scoffed knowing Nine might have him go buy dinner again just like always.

But before Nine could protest or say anything-

"Dinner's on me." The Group faced behind them to where Zero had his hands in his pockets and had a smile on his face. "Whoa dinner's on YOU?" You stared in utter shock and astonishment.

"You serious?" Nine asked him. "Yeah hyung." Zero's smile had yet to leave his face. "Well Alrighty then!" Six laughed; clasping his hands together.

"Ahh our little Zero is paying his whole team dinner! Is that really true?~~~" Eight had approached him and pinched his cheeks. "Ahh! Hyung that hurts!" He whines and grabbed Eight's wrists.

"Yah! Keep quiet will ya!" You whisper-yelled at them.
"Ohh~ Our little maknae is becoming a man!" Eight had quiet down, but his teasing hasn't stopped making the team laugh a bit.
"Ah! Hyung! Practically, Seven's the maknae! She's younger than me remember!?"
The group puts there attention to you. But you just shrugged and walked over next to the eldest, Three.
"I may be the youngest in truth but at least my mind is older than the three of you jerks."

Eyes widening, the group "Ohh"ed at the maknae line (u know who) as you just got them burned. Feeling an arm over your shoulders, you turn your head to see a smiling Four.

"Alright. Thanks to Seven here, she lightened up my mood. Which means..."

A pause and suspense filled the air. Waiting for him to continue, the group only stared at him and you.

".... Zero, buy us some dinner since you all owe me anyway and I'll have some lamb skewers ordered."

With the little proposal, everyone had a satisfied grin on their faces, even you.

"You're serious??" You faced your left to see his face. "Pretty much." He says. Tapping your shoulder, he takes his arm off of you and held the rope once again. "Alright dinner ain't gonna buy itself, let's go!" Three hurriedly reaches for the rope and started climbing followed by the others.

After a successful mission, and a tasty dinner, Phantom Alpha settled in for the night.

All except for one.

Three.
