On Earth
Near NCT's Dorms
South Korea

Just as Donghyuck predicted, the turtle landed on Earth.

Chanyeol and BamBam exited the turtle after instructing Minkyu to watch the kids, and proceeded to identify what planet we're on. They soon realized that they were on Earth, but asked a random citizen where they were on Earth exactly.

The citizen cooperated, and kindly informed them that they were in South Korea. The two them were relieved, until they saw a tall building suddenly plummet to the ground and cause a huge explosion. Not even seconds after the explosion, they saw a stampede of dinosaurs running right for them.

BamBam immediately made a series of clouds appear under their feet, as well as the little crowd of surrounding citizens, which lifted them up into the air to avoid the dinosaurs.

As if the dinosaurs weren't enough, they then spotted a light in the sky and a series of small meteorites plummeting to the ground. BamBam created more clouds to protect the citizens, and Chanyeol pixelated his body to glitch the rock that came towards them. It glitched right through them and hit the ground.

Minutes later, they found six young looking boys coming from the plumes of smoke on the ground. Chanyeol recognized them first and confirmed that they were the members of Boy Story, and Bam confirmed that they were indeed taken over too.

Bam knew just how powerful the boys are, and dispersed the other clouds to safety to protect the citizens on them.

Right after doing this, Hanyu used his Stand, The Hand, multiple times to eliminate the space between them, until he brought the two back down to the ground.

Before they could attack them, Chanyeol created a Glitch Tornado around them to protect them from incoming attacks.

"Minkyu, listen to me. This tornado will protect the turtle. Bam and I are leaving it here inside the tornado to keep you safe while we fight. They can't come in here since it'll harm them, but it won't harm any of us. Just stay in here until we're done. Don't come out, no matter what"

Chanyeol warned him.

Before Minkyu could protest, the two left the tornado, leaving the kids within it.

-

Even though he was very scared, Minkyu sat with the kids, trying to keep them calm as Bam and Chanyeol fought. But not long after the fight began, he and the kids heard how Yeol and Bam were beginning to struggle.

The more that they continued to listen, the more sad and angry they became.

Minkyu tried covering his ears as he began to tear up, but he could still hear them.

Suyun clenched her fists as she felt herself heating up.

Sungmin desperately held out her hand, as if she was trying to summon something.

Junsung quietly cried from him being angry, and a dark energy began to emit from him.

And the Dream Eater that Xuefen was playing with turned into a Nightmare from the anger he felt.

He eventually made the Nightmare disappear and stood up, after finally having enough of hearing his hyungs being tortured.

"Grab hand, one at time"

He ordered the others.

They were confused by his sudden order, but Junsung complied immediately. He grabbed his hand, and he began to grow in size immediately after.

The others immediately realized that he wasn't only growing, but he was also getting older. Junsung let go once he grew to be sixteen years old.

"We don't have much time. This is one of Xuefen's new powers. When you hold his hand, you'll be able to grow up like I did, to an age where you'll be strong enough to use all of your powers. We'll be able to help our hyungs once we do"

Junsung informed them, and they quickly cooperated.

Sungmin and Suyun each held one of his hands at the same time. Sungmin let go once she was fourteen, and Suyun let get once she was fifteen.

Xuefen asked Minkyu to hold his hand too, and even though he was confused, he complied. But instead of aging his body, Xuefen aged his mind, and let go of Minkyu after a couple seconds.

Xuefen then aged himself until he was fifteen.

Because four of them destroyed their smaller clothes from how much they had grown, they went to the nearby closet and found more suitable clothes. They then each took a moment to figure out what their new powers, Stands, and weapons were.

Junsung's new powers are called Chaos, Wall Crawling/Walking, and Molecular Vibration, his new Stand is called The Grateful Dead, and his weapons are a Nirvana Sword and Malice Spear.

Xuefen's new powers are called Dream Communication and Age Shifting, his new Stand is called Metallica, and his weapon is an Elemental Ocarina with the name "Korin" engraved on it.

Sungmin's new power is Blood Independence, her new Stand is called The World, and her new weapon is a Keyblade she called "Starlight".

Suyun's new power is Hell Blaze, her new Stand is called Notorious Chase, and her new weapon is a Sheol Blade.

And Minkyu's new Stand is called White Album, and his new weapons are Twin Matrix Guns.

After their self assessments, they exited the turtle, ready to help their teammates.

The five of them left the tornado to an unusual sight. Bam had been turned into a teenager and was slowly aging backwards because of Mingrui's power, and Chanyeol was forcibly sunk into the pavement from Shuyang's Stand's power.

Minkyu let his Stand cover his body, and began to skate around the seven of them to form an ice ring on the ground.

Xuefen played a few notes on his ocarina and the air around them, Chanyeol, and Bam suddenly became frosty as well. Multiple members of Boy Story tried to use their powers, but Xuefen used his Stand to make iron needles burst out of the corresponding limb that they used.

Junsung then summoned his Stand, and not even seconds later, the Boy Story members started turning old. Despite this, Xinlong still managed to summon his dinosaurs to come running back to him.

They noticed that the stampede was coming right for them, so Sungmin used The World to stop time. During those five seconds, she used her Keyblade to destroy all five of their earrings, as well as create a protective barrier to keep the stampede from trampling them.

She returned to the others before the five seconds ended, and Boy Story immediately collapsed from the earrings being destroyed. All of the effects of their powers wore off, which in turn changed Bam back to normal and released Chanyeol from the pavement.

Junsung made his Stand disappear and Xuefen played another note to make the air around Boy Story frosty. The effects of Grateful Dead wore off and returned them to their regular ages.

Chanyeol made the tornado disappear once the dinosaurs turned back to regular humans. Suyun picked up the turtle and brought it back to the others, enabling them to put Boy Story, Bam, and Chanyeol inside the turtle to rest. As they remained outside, they tried to figure out who to go to in order to regroup.

"So, what do we do now?"

Junsung asked as he looked around at their current surroundings.

Minkyu thought to himself for a minute, then proceeded to ask one of the nearby citizens where NCT's dorms were. The citizen offered to drive them there instead of just telling them, and they happily complied.

-

Once they arrived, Minkyu knocked on the door, and Taeyong answered the door.

Even though he barely recognized the other kids, he recognized Minkyu from pictures that Mark sent them before. He quickly let them inside, and took them to the their lounging area to let them relax.

The members already saw everything on the news that happened on Ethora just a few minutes before, but the kids explained to them how they got to Earth and how they got older to save their teammates.

"I thought it would be a good idea for us to come here. Because of our fathers, I knew that we'd feel the same connection with all of you here"

Minkyu informed them.

Kun brought them all refreshments, and went into the turtle to give the rest to the others.

"I commend all of you for thinking as fast as you did. You're welcome to make our dorms a refuge point"

Johnny smiled.

"How are you all so calm, especially with the sudden attacks? I even saw a bit of destruction outside of the dorms"

Suyun questioned them.

"All around our world, we have heroes that protect certain locations. South Korea has the Black Panther, Chadwick Boseman"

Ten explained.

"Chadwick Boseman... Taeil-hyung and Uncle Renjun told us stories of how Earth's Chadwick passed away many years ago. Is he the same one?"

Minkyu recalled, to which Ten confirmed.

"He suddenly appeared here in South Korea not too long ago. He usually patrols around our area, so we know each other very well"

Taeyong added.

Chadwick had been reborn on Ethora, but decided to return to Earth to protect humans.

"We don't have to worry since he's around to protect us, especially since he has a new power called Speed Clones. That power allows him to utilize high speeds to create a solid afterimage, realistic enough to actually attack and bleed from injuries. With that power, he's able to move fast enough to be in more than one place at once to protect people throughout South Korea"

Kun explained, returning from being inside of the turtle. 

Not long after finishing their refreshments, they all heard multiple thuds from outside. Junsung could tell that it was Xinrei and some of the others, but Taeyong became alarmed because Chadwick didn't know that.

He quickly opened the slide doors to their balcony, finding Chadwick preparing to attack them.

"Chadwick-hyung! They're allies! They're here to retrieve their teammates!"

Taeyong yelled from the balcony.

The others even surrendered, trying to prove to him that they weren't a threat.

"Oh! I'm very sorry! Welcome to Earth~"

Chadwick welcomed them after apologizing.

He then greeted Taeyong and the others, and stood by the door to wait for them to come down. Taeyong took the kids outside after they said goodbye to the others, and Chadwick stood guard to be ready for any attacks.

Once they made it down to the others, they were greeted by Yuta, Donghyuck, and Xinrei.

"Kyu~! Are you ok?! Are any of you hurt?!"

Xinrei immediately ran to hug Minkyu upon seeing him.

"I'm fine Rei. Really, I am. We're all alright"

He calmly reassured him.

"Huh..?"

The three of them were greatly confused by his calm response, especially Xinrei.

He then took a good look at him and the other four kids, noticing how greatly they had changed. Donghyuck was also very shocked to see how much Suyun had grown.

"What...happened to you guys??"

"We'll explain once we get back to the others. For now, we need to prioritize getting back to them"

Sungmin insisted.

"She's right. We shouldn't keep them waiting too long"

Yuta opened up another portal that lead back to Aerus.

They thanked Taeyong for the hospitality and bid their goodbyes to him and Chadwick before they each entered the portal, Yuta being the last.
