Sijun's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself in a dark, damp room. He was lying on a cold, metal table, and his wrists and ankles were bound by thick, metal chains.
He struggled against the chains, but they were too strong. He was trapped.
Suddenly, a faint light flickered to life in the corner of the room, illuminating the dark space. Sijun's eyes adjusted to the light, and he saw the scientist standing in the corner of the room, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
"Welcome, Sijun," the scientist said, his voice dripping with malice. "I've been waiting for you."
Sijun's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. How had he ended up here? What did the scientist want with him?
The scientist began to walk towards Sijun, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "You see, Sijun, you're a very special person," he said. "You have a unique gift, one that could change the course of human history."
Sijun's eyes widened, his heart racing. What gift was the scientist talking about?
The scientist reached out and touched Sijun's forehead, and suddenly, Sijun was flooded with visions and images. He saw himself standing in a vast, open plain, surrounded by towering mountains and sparkling lakes. He saw himself wielding a powerful sword, fighting against an army of dark creatures. He saw himself standing on a cliff, looking out over a vast, sprawling city.
The visions faded, and Sijun was left feeling stunned and disoriented. The scientist was still standing over him, a smile spreading across his face.
"You see, Sijun, you have the power to shape reality itself," the scientist said. "You have the power to create entire worlds, to bring forth new life and new civilizations."
Sijun's eyes widened, his mind reeling. Was this really possible?
The scientist leaned in closer, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "And I'm going to help you unlock that power," he said. "Together, we're going to change the world."
Sijun's heart was racing, his mind spinning with questions and doubts. But before he could say anything, the scientist reached out and injected him with a strange, glowing serum.
Sijun felt a sudden surge of energy and power, and he knew that his life was about to change forever.
Meanwhile, Joon Woo was searching frantically for Sijun. He had been separated from him during the escape from the settlement, and he had been searching for him ever since.
As he ran through the forest, his heart pounding in his chest, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help. He followed the sound, his senses on high alert, and soon found himself standing in front of a large, metal door.
The door was locked, but Joon Woo could sense that Sijun was on the other side. He raised his foot and kicked the door, using all of his strength to try and break it open.
The door creaked and groaned, but it refused to budge. Joon Woo was about to try again when he heard a faint voice on the other side of the door.
"Joon Woo... is that you?" the voice said.
Joon Woo's heart leapt with excitement. "Sijun! I'm here! I'm going to get you out of there!"
There was a pause, and then Sijun's voice came again. "Joon Woo... be careful. The scientist... he's not what he seems."
Joon Woo's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. What did Sijun mean?
Suddenly, the door creaked and groaned, and then it swung open. Joon Woo rushed inside, his sword at the ready.
But as he entered the room, he was met with a sight that made his blood run cold.
Sijun was lying on a metal table, his body covered in strange, glowing markings. The scientist was standing over him, a smile spreading across his face.
"Welcome, Joon Woo," the scientist said. "I've been expecting you."
Joon Woo's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. What was going on?
And then, just as he was about to attack, Sijun's eyes flickered open, and he spoke in a voice that sent shivers down Joon Woo's spine.
"Joon Woo... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."
Sijun's voice trailed off, and his eyes closed again. Joon Woo's heart was racing, his mind spinning with questions and doubts.
What had happened to Sijun? What had the scientist done to him?
And then, just as Joon Woo was about to attack the scientist, everything went black.
JOON WOO'S POV
As Joon Woo's vision faded to black, he felt himself being pulled backwards, away from Sijun and the scientist. He tried to struggle, but his body felt heavy and unresponsive.
When he came to, he found himself in a dark, damp cell. The walls were made of cold, grey stone, and the air was thick with the smell of mold and decay.
Joon Woo's head was pounding, and his body ached all over. He tried to stand up, but his legs felt weak and unsteady.
As he looked around the cell, he saw that there was a small, barred window high up on one wall. The window was too small for him to fit through, but it let in a faint, flickering light that illuminated the cell.
Joon Woo's eyes adjusted to the light, and he saw that there was a figure standing in the shadows, watching him.
"Who are you?" Joon Woo demanded, trying to keep his voice steady.
The figure stepped forward, revealing a tall, imposing man with a cruel smile on his face.
"My name is not important," the man said. "What's important is that you're here now, and you're going to help us with our experiment."
Joon Woo's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. What experiment? And what did they want with him?
The man smiled again, his eyes glinting with amusement. "You'll find out soon enough," he said. "But for now, let's just say that you're going to be a very important part of our research."
Joon Woo's heart was racing, his mind spinning with fear and uncertainty. What were they going to do to him?
And then, just as he was starting to lose hope, he heard a faint noise coming from outside the cell. It sounded like footsteps, heavy and deliberate.
The man's smile faltered, and he looked nervously at the door. "It seems we have a visitor," he said.
The door creaked open, and a figure loomed in the doorway. Joon Woo's heart leapt with excitement as he saw Sijun standing there, his eyes blazing with determination.
"Sijun!" Joon Woo exclaimed, his voice filled with relief.
Sijun's eyes locked onto Joon Woo's, and he smiled. "I'm here to get you out," he said.
But as Sijun stepped forward, the man who had been watching Joon Woo reached out and grabbed him, holding him back.
"I don't think so," the man said, his voice cold and menacing.
Sijun's eyes narrowed, his face set in a determined expression. "Let him go," he growled.
The man smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I don't think you're in a position to make demands," he said.
And with that, he reached out and pressed a button on the wall. The cell was filled with a blinding light, and Joon Woo felt himself being lifted off the ground.
He was trapped, and he didn't know how he was going to escape.
SIJUN'S POV
As Joon Woo's vision faded, Sijun was left lying on the metal table, his body covered in the strange, glowing markings. The scientist was standing over him, a smile spreading across his face.
But Sijun was not unconscious. He was aware of his surroundings, and he was fighting against the effects of the experiment.
The scientist had injected Sijun with a serum that was designed to enhance his abilities and make him more susceptible to the scientist's control. But Sijun's body was resisting the serum, and he was starting to feel a strange, tingling sensation in his veins.
As the scientist began to examine him, Sijun realized that he had to escape. He focused all of his energy on resisting the serum and breaking free from the restraints that held him to the table.
It was a struggle, but Sijun was determined. He used every ounce of strength he possessed to fight against the restraints, and slowly but surely, he began to break free.
The scientist was caught off guard, and he stumbled backwards as Sijun sat up and swung his legs over the side of the table.
Sijun's eyes locked onto the scientist, and he smiled. "You're not going to control me," he said, his voice low and menacing.
The scientist's eyes widened in fear, and he stumbled backwards, tripping over his own feet. Sijun took advantage of the distraction to make his escape.
He leapt off the table and sprinted out of the room, the scientist's cries of alarm echoing behind him. Sijun didn't look back, he just kept running, his heart pounding in his chest.
He finally reached the cell where Joon Woo was being held, and he burst through the door, ready to fight. But what he saw took his breath away.
Joon Woo was suspended in mid-air, his body surrounded by a strange, glowing energy field. The man who had been watching Joon Woo was standing next to him, a cruel smile spreading across his face.
Sijun's eyes narrowed, his mind racing. He had to act fast, or risk losing Joon Woo forever.
