Chapter 12
"You... want to join my wing fight?"
Jungkook nods as he stares into the eyes of a man double his size. He has a large, disgusting beard and tattoos all over his skin. He must be at least 45 or above and his breath smells like a fucking dumpster. Jungkook keeps it together and tries to look intimidating.
Suddenly, a deep laughter rumbles through the man and he's joined by some other people around the large field made for the battles. Jungkook looks around in annoyance but he holds himself back from freaking out. He got a stronger angel than these people, they just aren't aware of that yet and he needs to use that to his advantage.
"I will like to join all the fights," he repeats. Some of the other participants comes up next to the tattooed guy. Most of them are looking at him mockingly and Jungkook thinks he even sees a look of pity on one of their faces.
"Listen kid, this is for strong angels only, we don't fight grey angels," he says. Their angels aren't there either, but from the information Jungkook remembers they don't have anything higher than white-winged angels. And after the fight with Minseok, victory is almost certain.
"I have higher ranked," he says. It's actually a bit of a tradition that you don't spoil what rank of angel you have. It's a way to confuse the opponent and in the end it just became a norm that it's kept a secret in fighting areas. All angels stay away until they are summoned and the fight can begin. At first, Jungkook hated this rule because it's clearly a disadvantage for people with weak angels. They don't know what they might get their angels into and they end up losing.
However, the tables have been completely turned now that Jungkook is on top. And oh, how he can't wait to beat the shit out of these pricks.
"Oh really? Listen, if it's money you are after, I can offer them to you for something... a little different," a rather tall guy with a nose ring and bleached hair says with a smirk. It's not the first time Jungkook has gotten such an offer and he has accepted them before in extreme cases where he was so close to dying that even 1 won could save him.
However, it isn't going to be like that today. The man reaches out and wraps his around Jungkook's waist, but the younger his fast to escape his grip and step away.
"I bet I can beat you all and I already payed the entrance fee," he hisses and dusts off his shirt as if he has gotten infected from the man's touch. The guys laugh again and shake their head at him. It's only normal they would act like that since they haven't seen him before. Often, people know each other inside the whole wing fight community, so they probably think he's just some desperate kid who's looking for some excitement in their life.
Jungkook has never heard of any black-winged participants in their city though, so these men are about to get themselves a big surprise.
"Fine, you can go against me first and the other's afterwards. What's your name, pretty one?" one of them asks. He has uneven teeth, an ugly beard and he smells terribly. Jungkook almost gags as he steps closer to take the man's hand in a handshake. The guy giggles and presses extra hard which makes Jungkook grimace for a second.
"Jeon Jungkook."
"Well then, lets have a good fight, princess."
Another squeeze is forced around Jungkook's hand. He ignores the pain as he follows them to a more open space, seeing some people standing around a marked territory. Some judges are there too and they immediately give Jungkook a skeptical look before whispering to each other. They are probably discussing how to stop the fight quickly in case Jungkook's angel can't fight.
The younger feels the excitement grow in his chest. This is like being poor at school but then suddenly turning up one day as a millionaire. Only then people will care. They will fear you because suddenly you have outpowered them. People with a good heart always say that it's more than just the money which is bullshit in this decade of the world. No one cares, it's just about money and Jungkook is planning on winning a lot of it.
"Let's get it on, kiddo," the man says as they walk out on the marked area in each end. Jungkook smirks as he gets into a better stance, even though he doesn't really have to do much. This is like that old movie show called Pokémon, you just have to guide your angel but in Jungkook's case that's not going to be necessary. Taehyung has all the experience needed to win this fight.
The man at the other end holds his hand out towards Jungkook and takes a deep breath.
"Jeon Jungkook, I challenge you!" he yells and not even five seconds later, Jungkook's hair is pushed back from the wind of a variegated-angel that lands in front of the man. The angel is pretty with blonde hair and big eyes, but he has an evil smirk on his lips, clearly ready to beat some ass. It won't be that easy though.
Jungkook smirks and holds his hand out as well. His heart is about to burst from excitement and he can't wait to see their reaction. With a deep breath and a minute with closed eyes, he finally gets it together and says the words he has only said once before.
"I accept your challenge!" he yells. His eyes open and the wind-force that suddenly surrounds him makes him stagger a little on his legs, but he manages to stay upright. In that moment, he feels trust for the first time as he sees the familiar shape of his guardian angel that has arrived to protect him.
The wind is strong and it takes a second for all the people to see the angel that landed right before Jungkook. Taehyung slowly stands up as the sand lies down and he is out in the open for everyone to see. A smirk is permanent on his face and he stretches his wings out as far as they can go, showing just how strong and huge they are.
Jungkook feels his stomach take a turn in satisfaction when he sees the people's expressions. Fear mixed with surprise is permanent there and some even holds a hand over their mouths. The variegated-angel seems flabbergasted and takes a frightened step back. Jungkook sees that the tattooed guy literally dropped the cigarette that had been resting between his fingers, his face overruled by surprise and most likely regret. That's what you get for being a smartass, prick.
"W-What the fuck?" the guy that challenged Jungkook says, he probably hasn't truly realized what this means. Taehyung cracks his neck and his fingers. He heard everything doing the conversation from up in the sky, which just made him even more ready to beat this fucker's ass.
"He's not your princess," Taehyung states and just the sound of his voice sends shivers through the people and angels present. He lets one foot move back a little so he can set off better.
"He's mine."
Before anyone can even blink, Taehyung is gone and the next second the variegated-angel is met with a fist against his cheek. The power from the punch sends the angel flying backwards and he lands painfully against the ground. Taehyung is so fast that he travels faster than what the human eye can see and Jungkook can't help but be amazed. Pure talent is what it is.
"F-Fuck-" the opponent stutters and stares as his angel gets beaten roughly for at least five minutes before getting picked up and thrown to the other side of the ring, landing behind Jungkook who just stands with his arms folded, a smirk on his face.
The man keeps watching as his angel gets beaten more and more and has a difficult time fighting back. He hasn't even brushed Taehyung at this point. Obviously, this makes the disgusting guy angry. He looks at Jungkook and sees how the boy is straight up mocking him. That seems to do the trick.
"You motherfucker!" he yells while running and lifts his arm to throw a punch at the boy. Jungkook however, doesn't move at all and just rest on one of his legs in a superior way.
"Bad decision," he says and shakes his head just like they had done to him only minutes before. The man frowns and before he can do anything else, Taehyung is in front of him and a strong hold is placed around his neck as he screams. Moments later, they have set off into the sky at a height that a human wouldn't survive falling from. Taehyung holds the man in a straight arm as his wings keeps them in the air.
He tilts his head slightly and his purple eyes bore themselves into the very soul of this man that's struggling against his grip. Many would wonder if Taehyung is an angel or a devil at this point because his eyes will forever sit when them, a trauma they will never be able to escape from. This man is going to wake up with nightmares from this day and Taehyung is more than pleased with it.
The angel smiles devilish and tightens his grip.
"Not so confident anymore, are we?" Taehyung asks. He looks down for a second before returning his focus on the man, letting his thump 'care' for the neck he's currently suffocating. "Next time, I won't let you live."
With that, Taehyung releases his hold and the man goes into free fall. He screams from the bottom of his lungs as he drops through the air and scares the shit out of everyone in the area. Taehyung, of course, has it all thought through and just like he had predicted in his head, the variegated angel gets up just in time to catch his human and save him from a terrible death. Too bad, Taehyung would have enjoyed the show.
The black-winged angel slowly lowers himself onto the ground a few meters in front of Jungkook. He crosses his arms and smiles as the opponent angel falls to the ground, probably even more injured from the impact of his human that's sitting on the ground while shaking.
"You want some more?" he asks.
The angel passes out and the creepy man looks at him in shock. He shakes his head quickly and looks at the judges, "I-I s-surrend-der."
That went by easily. Jungkook jumps up in the air with a victory yell and laughs, "ha! Fuck you, asshole!" he says. They won! They won money even! Some sort of relief rushes through Jungkook's system and he can't hold back the huge smile that forms on his lips. Taehyung looks back fondly at the boy and flies over to him. Without Jungkook's consent, he lifts the smaller up in the air. He's just so cute, how can he not?
"Now now, don't get too confident, there's still four more games," he says. Jungkook struggles in his hold, but in the end he just gives up and lets Taehyung carry him.
"Doesn't mean I can't celebrate, that guy is a prick," the younger says and Taehyung laughs. "True that."
Their little moment is cut off as the guy with the tattoos stands out on the field, his face permanent with anger and his chest rising and falling a little too quickly.
"Little devil. You will fight me next!"
