(A/n: Must play 'Sub-Pun Music- Tears of War' on repeat and enjoy and oh!

Prepare tissues also!

You have been warned. ☠️ Deaths ahead.)

Silence...

None of them knew what to say or do.

They were wounded, bleeding, hurt, tired, hungry and what else not.

It's been only a day in battle and they had already lost three of their brave partners.

Wooyoung closed his eyes and bow his head down.

Now, they are running away.

And that's mean.

Hunters are running away.

All those humiliations, all those hurtfully words thrown at them about them being useless. All that coming to true.

And they couldn't do anything.

No...

Wooyoung placed his both hands upon his ears as all those words, all those humiliations make there way through his mind.

He was alone sitting in his room.

"Disgrace!."

"Don't let that bustard, go from here alive!"

"Die! You hunter can't do anything!!"

"This is just a myth! Hunters are loser, they can't even defend themselves!"

"Hahahha, maybe everyone is right. Hunters are and will always be useless, thanks God. They atleast had handsome and pretty faces for which can be of help and not so boring! Hahaha"

"Please...." Wooyoung whispered desperately, just wanting this all to end.

"Remember, youngie. You gonna live for both of us now. I didn't have aim but you have, to serve the nation."

"Child, this is my granddaughter."

'Go... I like you.'

"Youngie, we both know, one of us not gonna make it out of here alive. So, if anyone of us will die. The other will leave. Leaving the other behind."

"Please...please... No more." Wooyoung whispered but his pleased were turned to blind eye.

"Mingi/Namjoon/Chanyeol!!!!!"

His eyes shoot opened at that.

He felt like he couldn't breath for quite some minute.

He looked out through his room window, seeing them getting away from where the IGNUS and the dragon shifter and keep on growing dead remains are.

No...

They can't run like this.

They have to fight.

They need to fight.

With that in mind, wooyoung stood up with determination and makes his way towards the lounge where he knew he would find others.

"Stop!" He yelled making everyone turned to him.

"Wooyoung?" Jisoo asked.

She was looking tired and hurt in the lose of her older brother and other partners also but still maintained her facade.

"We can't just run like this! If we run, now. If we back up now. There will be no hunters left! There will be no us! We would made others proved to be right! And I can't let that happened. So-so many lives had lost. Just to keep us alive. We-we can't- no. We won't- at least- I won't!"

With that said, wooyoung made a run towards where the spare bikes are.

He immediately sat on one and drive towards the battlefield all alone.

Others tried to stop him but he didn't listen.

"I am also with him." Jimin declared as he also drive the other bike following wooyoung.

Jisoo sigh and orders in frustration.

"Move back!! We are going back!! NOW! everyone be prepared!!" With that, once again, they are made their way back to the battlefield.

And starts fighting.

Wounded, blooded, hurt, tired, hungry. They fight.

Fight for their people.

"Argh!" Blood flow out yunho mouth as he falls on ground.

He was attacked from behind.

"Yunho!!!" Selena yelled as she screamed and glowed red from head to toe, wiping everyone out of her way to make her way to yunho.

Taylor was hurt, so Jennie was providing everyone support herself but now after 48 hours of constant fight after coming back, she was tired herself.

So, it wasn't late when she fall on ground, drained out of her magic. She had been constantly providing them magic for like above 73 hours or so, all alone.

"Ah! One more down!" Hoseok exclaimed breathly as he finally finished one more dragon-shifter.

Now, only four dragon-shifter left.

The leader of dead remains, the Queen, the other one with wings, and the girl with dragons but soon, taehyung and yeosang finish the small dragons with Jackson finally killing the girl.

Now, three left.

Soon, seonghwa and baek-hyun, managed to finished the leader of dead remains and then the dead remains leaving only IGNUS and two dragon-shifter.

"Hunters for once."

"AND FOR ALL!!!"

they all attack the two together-

Slash!

Slash!

Thud!

Blast!

Boom!

Thud!

Slash!

And finally, only the IGNUS left.

But...

So, did only few of them.

Taehyung, baek-hyun, hongjoong, seonghwa, jisoo, Lisa, Jimin, chaemi, Yun Yeon, wooyoung, San (who had eventually joined despite his severe wounds), and Jennie.

Yes, all other had meet their eternal end.

All the remaining ones were also heavily wounded and blooded.

It was now third day dawn and without rest, they kept on striking with bleeding hearts.

"Argh-!"

"Jisoo!!!" Hongjoong yelled but was too late as his sister also falls on ground with a spike of IGNUS going through her chest.

Hongjoong immediately get ahold of her and Lisa tried to save her but her magic was not effective due to blood loss and tiredness herself.

And soon, jisoo broke her breath also but before that she passed a blood smile at hongjoong.

Soon, baek-hyun also meet his eternal end saving Yun Yeon.

San falls on ground due to intense blood loss.

Remained only hongjoong, taehyung, Jimin and wooyoung.

With seonghwa and Jennie back in the ship, waiting for them.

With Lisa trying to save San.

IGNUS threw his tail spike at them. All of them dug down except wooyoung.

"Wooyoung!! Watch out!!" Wooyoung turned around. His eyes widen.

But, before the spike could reached to him, they were stopped.

Stopped due to jimin's body standing between them.

Wooyoung gasp, as jimin's blood fall on his face and all above him.

He was shocked to say the least.

And soon, Jimin falls on ground but wooyoung was fast to hold him.

He was too shocked to say anything.

He watched and watched as Jimin also broke his last breath, in his arms.

Wooyoung was too shocked to think anything. He looks around with big eyes.

Namjoon, mingi and chanyeol body was half eaten for when they leave them behind.

Lisa crying while trying to save an uncoinsious laying in the pool of his own blood San.

hongjoong fighting the dragon with baek-hyun dead body also placed besides jisoo.

Chaemi and Yun Yeon crying but still fighting along side hongjoong.

He watched as soon, seonghwa and Jennie appeared and seonghwa immediately started helping the three against IGNUS.

Jennie sat on ground near lisa, looking much better but still tired with scratches and black and blue spots all over her body from using alot of her powers without proper rest.

She placed her both hands on ground and starts glowing white, providing them power but wooyoung knew it wasn't much and Jennie will eventually kill herself if she kept doing it.

He was indeed sitting in the pool of dead bodies and there was no doubt in it.

He placed jimin's dead body on ground and stand with no expression on his face.

He took hold of his twin swords and kept walking towards IGNUS.

The dragon, the caused of all of this.

'You have a clear aim, while I don't.'

'If anyone of us died tomorrow, the other will go leaving that one behind.'

'I love you.'

'No!! Stop! Let me go! Mother! Let me go to my Mother! Release me!-

Mother! Mother, please told these people to let me go! I want to come to you Mother! Don't leave me! Don't leave me emmo! Please!'

'Wooyoung-

Are you a cry baby?'

'Who are you?-

"Wooyoung,.. Jung wooyoung. Son of hunters And a hunter myself."

"Let me ask you again. Who are you?"

"A lonely hunter, whose mission is to serve justice."

"What does hunter do?"

"They fight. They fight not only the external battles but the inner ones also. They fight for justice, even if it kills them." '

With all harsh memories repeating in his mind, wooyoung kept walking towards where IGNUS was.

And with a deep yell, he also goes to attack IGNUS. His hunter mark glows a deep Red also.

SLASH!

THUD!

Thud!

"Wooyoung!!!" Chaemi yelled as she run and immediately hug wooyoung from behind who was on his knees on the ground, looking up at the sky.

From, where the first drop of water falls on his face.

IGNUS was dead.

But, why they are feeling so empty??

They have saved the world. Then, why there's no emotions?

Why they are not happy? Why they can't feel anything.

Upon the pool of dead bodies, they were.

Just seven of them, out of all of them.

How much more do they have to sacrifice? Just how the Fuck more?

No tears, no emotions.

What have they become?

Taehyung also fall on ground, his mind was also blank just like wooyoung's.

Junkook, he was dead.

Hongjoong walks to his sister's dead body and stood watching it.

"H-hey si-sis. I-s it o-hk if I c-cry n-ow?" And he broke down, while standing above the pool of dead bodies of dead remains and their own, wetting in the rain besides his sister's jisoo dead body.

Yun Yeon walks to Jimin and falls on ground near his.

"Mi-min!" She also broke down.

With slow steps Jennie makes her way to where Lisa was crying with San uncoinsious.

She sits besides her and hug her and also broke down.

Seonghwa stood watching them all.

He didn't know what to do or what to feel.

This was all so messed up.

Was being a hunter this much of a crime?

Or was it a blessing?

Time skip:

They were finally reaching back from the battlefield. Leaving all of their members behind.

All sad, wounded, bleeding and what else not?

Hongjoong enters the living louch and looks at everyone remaining except Lisa and jennie who were in the infamy with San and wooyoung who was in his room and seonghwa who was in the control room, leaving only taehyung in the louch.

"We have arrived." He says in a defeated tone and sigh looking at the hallway where their rooms are.

Taehyung looks at hongjoong and at the hallway and finally offered.

"I will go call him. You and seonghwa prepared everything." Hongjoong nods and left.

Taehyung with a sigh stood and makes his way to wooyoung's room.

After a knock, he enters and his eyes landed on wooyoung's fragile figure sitting on the side of his bed, looking in a distance with some papers in his hands.

His face was stern.

Taehyung makes his way to sit besides wooyoung on bed.

Wooyoung didn't even spare him a glance.

"They died." Wooyoung started with a emotion filled small voice.

Taehyung glanced at wooyoung and back at ground. He hums only.

"They all died, hyung. Mom. Dad. Uncle Lucas. His wife and kids. Hyung, I could- I could still hear their screams. Their screams of help. Their screams of pain." Wooyoung glup down a lump in his throat. Taehyung just silently listen to wooyoung's broken words.

"They were burned to death because of me." At that, taehyung looks at wooyoung but wooyoung kept looking in a distance, continuing.

"Then, catriel. Her grandfather.  All because of me. El- El-len." The last named comes out more brokenly with tears also.

Wooyoung placed his right hand above his heart and looks in Taehyung's eyes with his broken eyes.

"This isn't mine. She gave up her life because, because I was so weak." A sob left his mouth but he continues.

"She also died." Wooyoung looks down at the letter in his hand, same letter which Ellen has left.

"This letter. She left this." Taehyung took the letter from wooyoung's hand and opened to read it as wooyoung again looked in a distance with tears rolling down his handsome face.

"She died. She died also." Wooyoung said like it was so common.

"Then, noona. She died also, saving me. I was foolish, I knew one of us could die in that forest but I-. . . I was foolish and she died,. . . Also." A small frown appears on wooyoung's face.

"Namjoon hyung-" taehyung looks at wooyoung, with tears in his eyes now.

"Mingi hyung, Chanyeol hyung, yunho hyung, Selena noona, tylor noona, yeonlin noona, hoseok hyung, baek-hyun hyung, Jackson hyung, yoo-ngi hyung, j-jongho, ji-jisoo noona-" wooyoung sniff as taehyung bites his lower lip from stop him from crying and looks away but wooyoung continues. His lower lip wobbles.

"J-junkook hy-ung. J-jimin-" and he finally broke down in tears with taehyung also broke down and brought wooyoung to his chest.

They both cried in each other's arms.

Before wooyoung broke the hug, crying and looks in Taehyung's crying eyes and exclaimed with a shake of head.

"Is this what they meant by 'Tears of war'? Then I have nothing to do with it."

Wooyoung exclaimed while crying.

"You cant say that! Its engrave in you! You cant say no!"

Taehyung reasoned, himself crying. But, wooyoung only shakes his head and wipes his tears, exclaiming as his face turns to stern again.

"Ok then.. fine.. I refuge to be a part of it all!"

And again, his lower lip wobble and he broke down.

"I can't do this anymore hyung. How much deaths do I have to see more? I am tired. I AM FUCKING TIRED OF THIS ALL!!!"

Taehyung cried himself and shakes his head.

He looks at the crying hysterically wooyoung and cried out.

"We can't change it. We can't do anything! This is our fate. This is our fate. Those people out there. We can't."

"Why can't we hyung? All they do is humiliated us. Look down upon us. Give us false punishments. And what we do? Smile? I can't hyung. I am so tired."

"I know young. I know. But, we have to. Come on, they are all waiting."

Wooyoung nods as both calm down.

"This is our destiny. We have to live with it. We can't run from it. Afterall, this is what they called Tears Of War."

Tears of War:

A sad reality.

A brutal truth.

A heartbroken future.

A traumatic past.

Humiliations.

Accusing.

False punishments.

Darkness.

And worst,

LONELINESS.

That's what "Tears of War" Is.

But, despite them all.

You still have to smile.

And that's exactly what hunters do.

The remaining fingers reached the deck and looks down, seeing everyone cheering for them.

Why were they cheering now?

Weren't they the ones, who accused them? Hurt them? Banished them?

But alas,. . .

They are hunters, it's their fate to bear.

And so,. . .

The bear.

TEARS OF WAR-

Isn't just a story.

Because,

All Stories are True.

And so we're the hunters.

Tears of War- All Stories are. . .

True.
