Just like that Namjoon's plan had plummeted to a success rate of less than thirty percent. 

Yoongi was already injured and from the looks of it already losing a lot of blood. Yoongi already had a pale complexion, but with the way he was limping and struggling to keep it together, Namjoon knew that he was losing too much. Nevertheless, Yoongi went towards Jin and with a determined expression lifted him up, putting Jin's arm around his waist. Yoongi and Namjoon exchanged looks, Yoongi nodded once as he made his way out of the building.

"Namjoon begin retreating with Jimin slowly." Ruby said through the earpiece."These guards aren't the smartest bunch. Backup is coming and they'll ambush the rest of them."

Namjoon shot at three more guards responding, "What about you?"

"I'll be fine. Taehyung had never been better than me at combat." Ruby chuckled before cutting off the conversation. Namjoon slowly began retreating back, aiming and hitting as many soldiers as he could. Jimin was on the opposite side, becoming almost a blur as he easily fought off the guards on his side. Namjoon smiled sadly to himself.

At least he'd done right with making Jimin.

Meanwhile, Yoongi had managed to force Jin to walk outside of the facility. To his relief, Jeongyeon was already waiting there, easily grabbing Jin from Yoongi's shoulders. Her eyes widened in alarm at the amount of blood soaking through Yoongi's shirt. Jin looked at Yoongi, who frowned.

"Yoongi, you're hurt." Jin whispered."Help him."

"I'm fine!" Yoongi insisted, grabbing multiple painkillers from his equipment, downing them all in one go. With that, he grabbed another weapon from the vehicle, looking at Jeongyeon annoyedly.

"Yoongi, you're injured. You shouldn't push it." Jeongyeon warned."Momo is already on her way with backup. You could get yourself killed."

"They need me in there." Yoongi replied nonchalantly."Stay with Jin."

With that, he ran back towards the fight, ignoring the discomfort of his right shoulder. The painkillers had subdued a lot of the pain that Yoongi had felt, but it didn't stop his wound from leaving his right arm pretty much useless. Hoisting the crossbow on his left shoulder, Yoongi began firing at the guards who had not noticed him.

At the falling of the guards, Namjoon turned briefly, resisting the urge to slap Yoongi across the face. He kept fighting as Yoongi approached, aiming at anyone he could, having the guards falling in droves. Yoongi slightly smirked, standing side by side with Namjoon. Yoongi kicked one of the guards in the stomach, aiming quickly at him before turning his attention to another guard.

"You shouldn't be here Yoongi!" Namjoon hissed, knocking yet another guard unconscious."Are you trying to die?"

"Funny." Yoongi smiled."Jeongyeon told me the same thing." Setting the crossbow down, he grabbed his dagger."Now time to really get my hands dirty."

In a flash, Yoongi was on top of the numerous shoulders, easily sinking his dagger into their fatal spots. Namjoon had to admit, even with the wound Yoongi was acting like he was in control of himself, an aspect that he found both stupid and proud at the same time. With Yoongi's help, Namjoon was able to completely finish off the guards, who had all collapsed, either unconscious or dead, courtesy of Yoongi. Yoongi grinned madly at Namjoon, masking his continuing pain that had now burned through the painkillers he had just taken before rushing to help Jimin. Namjoon groaned in frustration, following behind Yoongi.

Yoongi aimed his dagger and threw, the dagger burying itself in the guard's chest. Yoongi quickly took another one out and aimed once more, the other dagger hitting another unsuspecting guard. Namjoon had taken possession of Yoongi's crossbow and started firing at the other guards. 

"What the hell is Yoongi doing here?" Jimin asked in disbelief."He should be with Jin!" 

"For the last time!" Yoongi growled, yanking out the daggers from the fallen."I am fine! Just lend me some of your strength, Jimin. Put this bond to good use."

Yoongi felt another burst of adrenaline soar through him, his heart beating faster than he had ever felt it. He quickly maneuvered his way around them, the guards no match for him. One by one they fell at his mercy, an aspect that had Yoongi grinning in glee. He felt invincible. Like nothing could stop him.

A burst of pain flared up in him. But it wasn't his pain. Yoongi's eyes widened.

It was Jimin's.

Jimin had gotten distracted, the distraction causing him an injury in the same leg he had first gotten injured in. Without thinking, Yoongi immediately threw his dagger, the impact causing the guard to stagger back. He pulled Jimin up, who offered him a grateful smile. Relief flooded through him as he saw the place flooded with Momo's backup, people who were more than ready to fight against the tyranny of Taehyung's government.

Taehyung watched in anger as the number of his guards fell and the rebels went up. Ruby smiled triumphantly at him, managing to hurt him once more with her katanas.

"I was always better at you in combat." she laughed, kicking Taehyung in the stomach. Taehyung stumbled at the flow, regaining his footing easily, blocking Ruby's attack. He wiped the blood out of his mouth."Me and your sister."

"She was no sister to me." his voice hardened."She took what was mine!"

"What the hell Taehyung!" Ruby almost yelled."I am not an object."

"You were my Perfect Match before you were anything of hers." he spat venomously."You were supposed to fall for me. Instead, I caught you with my older sister. What the fuck was going through that head of yours?"

"You betrayed me!" Taehyung roared."You betrayed what was sacred. Do you think I wanted to do this? You made me this way. It was all you!"

"You're going to die." Ruby stated simply."By my hand."

She swept Taehyung off his feet, shoving her heel against his throat. She raised her katana in the air, the glint of it shining on Taehyung's face.

"Goodbye, my love," she whispered, her voice holding no sympathy."We could have loved each other one day." 

With that, she buried the katana into Taehyung's chest, numb to the screams and please Taehyung gave.

And then, silence.

Ruby stared wide-eyed at the corpse in front of her. She had done it. She had killed Taehyung. She took the katana out of his chest and began walking outside, a strange sensation in her chest. Yoongi approached her, smiling brightly at her. Her eyes widened at Yoongi's state. He was paler than she'd ever seen him, his eyes sunken, his lips a papery white. He looked like death. And yet, he looked more alive than she had seen him in a while.

"I did it." Ruby said numbly."I killed Taehyung."

Yoongi's eyes widened."Ruby, that's great—"

Ruby watched as Yoongi collapsed to his knees, blood coming out of his mouth. He looked down in surprise at the blood soaking his abdomen, a handle the only thing he could see causing it. His lips made an 'O' before he grabbed the blade weakly, keeping it in place.

"Think again, my love."

Taehyung met Ruby's eyes, a smirk in his lips. She heard Jimin scream in distress, Namjoon urging him and others to pick Yoongi up as fast as humanely possible. 

"Did you think it would be that easy to get rid of me?" Taehyung chuckled."You're really an idiot. No matter." 

"Namjoon, go!" Ruby yelled at the top of her lungs."Get home as fast as possible."

Taehyung grabbed Ruby roughly, forcing her to her knees. He yanked her hair, forcing her to look up as Yoongi was placed on a stretcher, looking lifeless, his fingers still closed around the handle of the blade. She watched helplessly as Jimin muttered sweet nothings to Yoongi, reassurances that he would be okay. She looked, guilt completely consuming. She hadn't even seen Taehyung approach Yoongi. She hadn't been able to see the blade until it was too late.

"Yoongi," Ruby whispered painfully. Taehyung only hummed in delight."I'm so sorry."

"All you did was kill a mere guard." he said gleefully."I talked through him. It was a hallucination. You did nothing. Now you're coming with me, Aaliyah. We have so much to catch up on." 

Ruby felt a needle jab her neck, its contents quickly circulating through her entire body. No matter how hard she tried to fight against it, she failed.

Taehyung's laugh and Yoongi's haunted look were the last things she was before her world faded to black.

a/n: well. this didn't go according to plan. it be like that sometimes (x2)
