Joseon Dynasty

I bet you're wondering at this point, when do I come into this? Where's the time traveling? Patience. We're getting there. But, like with all stories, the scene must get set first, otherwise we'd just be flinging guys into time traveling for nothing.

There's always a reason.

So, Seoho's in a coma. What about our brave warriors?

Joohoney stands in the center of the small village, where he'd first stepped in to save the family with the young boy. They'd sent their thanks to him and Darkest Days by a basket full of fresh fruits. He waves to them as he is joined by five other young men.

One, with signature pink-hair, places a hand on his shoulder. "You did a good thing. We all have done good this week. Eventually, he'll get overthrown and Seoho will be free from tyrannical uncle."

Joohoney nods and turns to him.

"Speaking of Seoho-ssi, has anyone seen him recently?" a golden-brunette man questions. This is Lee Keonhee.

"I'm worried his uncle found out," a short jet black haired man says, shaking his head.

"Why do you say that, Woong?" a berry-red haired man, Kim Youngjo, inquires, putting his hands on his hips.

Yeo Hwanwoong shrugs at him. "It doesn't matter how many times Joohoney kicks Chul's butt, he'll still try to come after him and maybe he found the right opportunity with which to say something."

Joohoney looks around. "Woong might be right and if his uncle knows, Seoho could be in grave danger."

"So, we'll find him and save him!" the last man, a natural dark brown haired man exclaims, whipping his sword out. This is Lee Minhyuk.

"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down!" Keonhee says, patting the hair with his palms down.

Suddenly, across the street in the village, a woman shrieks. Joohoney spins around to see a bunch of horses galloping toward them.

"RUN!" Joohoney roars. "Head for the woods!"

"What about Seoho?!" Kihyun gasps.

"We'll worry about him, once we escape with our lives!" Joohoney responds and shoves him forward. "We're no good to him if we're slaughtered."

The horses gain on them, the leader draws a sword from its holster and Minhyuk whisks his sword up, connecting with the rider.

"Minhyuk, leave it and run!" Joohoney orders, taking off with the others. "There's too many of them for us to take on!"

Minhyuk gives a final swing at the rider and then takes off as well.

It is very intense and close, but they all manage to make it out of the village and into the woods, losing all the horses and militia of the King.

They make it deep into the woods, entering a magical bubble that takes them into a strange colored world. Gliding toward them from a bright light is a woman with wavy silver hair and a pair of shiny, shimmering transparent wings that flutter behind her back. She spreads her arms out to them.

"Welcome to the Multiverse Central, Darkest Days. I've been waiting for you to show up."
