Taehyung

    Taehyung had always been drawn to the human world ever since he was a fledgling angel. He was one of the rare ones; Pure angel, never having been sent to the world in human form.  His closest friend, Yoongi had gotten drawn into this curiosity over time. They didn't understand why they weren't allowed to help humans more. They were such pitiful beings and were sometimes plain stupid, but that didn't mean they should have to suffer as much as they often did. Amongst their closest 7 friends, who were all sons of the seven archangels, they were the biggest human sympathizers. The others cared, but they never let it get in the way of their heavenly duties. Namjoon was the leader of the group and he was constantly getting on Taehyung's case about meddling in human affairs. He understood his logic, but rules were rules. 

    One afternoon in particular, Taehyung convinced Yoongi to go down to earth with him. Taehyung had been practicing his fire manipulation; forming a ball of fire in his hand and then putting it out. After a few minutes of that he started throwing the fireballs at some premade targets. He was dead on every time and he was extremely bored after a few rounds. Deciding to have some fun, he went off to find Yoongi who was properly doing his duties. Taehyung hated going there because while his fire manipulation was pretty good, he hadn't quite mastered keeping his whole body warm yet. Yoongi's locations were primarily in colder regions due to his ability to manipulate ice. Taehyung finally spotted him and grinned as he flew towards him, shivering slightly.

"Hyung! I got an idea!" Taehyung exclaimed as he slapped Yoongi on the back. Yoongi didn't flinch and only raised an eyebrow. "What is it this time?" Yoongi questioned his younger friend, who was more like a brother than anything. Taehyung then explained his plan to Yoongi about how it was the perfect time to sneak off and visit the human world since they had finished their duties relatively early. Yoongi reluctantly agreed and they got their plan in gear.

 They snuck off after their duties and were goofing off with the humans. Yoongi was drinking with some in a bar, while Taehyung was yelling at a television at some human game called soccer, was on. This was a big taboo, hanging out with humans. They were guardian angels and were only supposed to guide from afar. However, the two best friends had developed a taste of human life and quite liked it. This night would be their last night before their whole lives changed.

    After hours of horsing around the two went back to heaven to try and sneak back in. Much to their dismay though, the archangels and their friends were all waiting for them. "Shit…" Taehyung heard Yoongi mutter. Taehyung stopped dead in his tracks and laughed nervously as his father stepped out amongst the group with his arms crossed and a look of disappointment and anger on his face. "You two were warned to stop this behaviour. This was your last chance. It has been decided that since you two want to spend so much time amongst the humans that you will be sent there permanently. You are being cast out of heaven from this moment forth. Goodbye my son." Taehyung's father put a hand on his shoulder and looked away as he pushed him down and sent him crashing to earth's surface. 

Yoongi

      Yoongi always noticed how excited Taehyung seemed to get when it came to humans and the human realm. Taehyung used any excuse to talk about them, to try and catch a glimpse of them through a magic mirror. Yoongi couldn't deny that he too, was getting drawn to the humans, wondered what it was like to live on earth with the humans. 

      One afternoon, Yoongi was doing his duties, which was located in a much cooler location. This place was surrounded with ice and snow. Yoongi was used to the low temperatures since he has a special ability that allows him to manipulate ice. Yoongi closed his eyes, stretched his wings, feeling the temperature around him. Slowly, he felt the cold spreading across his body, seeping into his veins. After meditating for a while, the air around him grew colder and colder. He opened his eyes to see small snowflakes floating across the field. He was surrounded with mountains of snow, a frozen lake in the center. He even created many ice sculptures. 

       In the distance he could see someone flying towards him. Yoongi noticed it was Taehyung. As he got closer, Yoongi could see the mischievous smile on his face. Yoongi sighed then mumbled, "Here we go again." Taehyung landed gracefully and clung onto Yoongi's arm. "Hyung." Tae gave him a boxed smile. His cheeks were slightly red from the cold. Unlike Yoongi, Taehyung wasn't used to the cold, he actually preferred the heat since he has the power to manipulate fire. 

     Although they were total opposites of each other, they got along really well. They were like brothers, even fought like brothers at times. Yoongi shook Tae from his arm, which only made him tighten the hold on his arm. "What now Tae?" Yoongi sighed even though he knew very well what Taehyung wanted. 

"Let's go down to earth for a little while, no one would even know we are gone. They are all busy with their duties which gives us an advantage." Taehyung pulled on his arm hopping up and down like a kid asking for candy. "Huh, please! What do you say?" Taehyung pouted his lips and stared into his eyes. Yoongi looked away, sighing "Fine!" Yoongi gave in and Taehyung jumped for joy. "Just this once." 

       After many attempts, Taehyung finally managed to convince Yoongi to go down to earth with him and he was very eager to walk the streets and see what it felt like to be surrounded by humans. Yoongi acted like he didn't really care but deep down he was just as excited. When they landed on earth they hid their wings and walked around like two little kids lost in a candy store. 

     They explored earth, Occasionally helping any human. They soon found themselves in a bar Taehyung found himself attracted to a big tv mounted on the wall, while Yoongi sat down at the bar. The bartender asked him for a choice of drink and Yoongi went with what ever sounded better. He could hear Taehyung yelling from across the room. He took a peak at him and saw that he was yelling at the TV. Yoongi and Taehyung were having the best time of their lives, they didn't have to worry about their duties, about their parents telling them what they can and can't do. 

      After hours of goofing off, they realized that it was getting late and the sun was starting to set. Which meant everyone was done with their duties and they missed dinner with their families. With no one in sight, they both flew back to heaven and tried to sneak back in only to find their parents along with their 5 best friends waiting for them. "Shit.." Yoongi muttered which caused Taehyung to stop dead in his tracks. 

"So much for nobody finding out." Yoongi thought to himself. 

"You two were warned to stop this behaviour. This was your last chance." Taehyung's father yelled "It has been decided that since you two want to spend so much time amongst the humans that you will be sent there permanently. You are being cast out of heaven from this moment forth. Goodbye my son." Taehyung's father put a hand on his shoulder and looked away as he pushed him down and sent him crashing to earth's surface. 

      Yoongi stood frozen in his spot, he was too shocked to notice his own parents come up to him with the same look of disappointment. A hand on his shoulder brought him back to his senses, he looked up to see his father doing the same "Goodbye son." The last thing Yoongi saw before he was sent crashing to earth was the look of shock and sadness in his friends faces. 

Allyrah

    Growing up had been so much fun for Allyrah and her best friend Luna. Luna was from a noble family and was very wealthy. Allyrah was the daughter of a well renowned teacher who had been invited to live at court with his family to teach the royal children. Allyrah and Luna were the same age and had the same birthday so the King and Queen thought it auspicious to allow the girls to play and grow up together. Allyrah was kind and gentle, but she got sick quite often. The doctors were never quite sure why, but she would seemingly recover quickly enough and things were left alone for the most part. The girls laughed and played and told stories to each other daily. They often had sleepovers and were practically inseparable. Allyrah was so well liked by all that she was practically adopted into the royal family and was invited to all functions.

    Allyrah was the dreamer of the two. She always had dreams about angels that were watching over them. She never really got to see their faces, but she knew they existed. They just had to. Otherwise she would have died from an illness a long time ago. But every time she was on the brink of death, she made a miraculous recovery and moved on with her life. Yoongi was Allyrah's guardian angel and Taehyung was Luna's, or that's what Allyrah believed anyway. She often told tales of dreamy angels that seemingly aged with the girls and watched over them from afar. Of course they were only dreams...Or so everyone thought. What she didn't know was that she was somewhat right. Unbeknownst to the two now 23 year olds, their guardian angels had fallen and now nobody was protecting them. Ever since that day, Allyrah's condition had begun to grow worse.

             Allyrah sat on the bed shivering. She was running another ridiculously high fever and she couldn't seem to get warm. She'd always been of weak health from an early age, but recently things had taken a turn for the worse as her health seemed to deteriorate more and more. Her best friend Luna was a princess and was one of the richest people in the world and even her doctors couldn't figure out what was causing Allyrah's mysterious illness. Allyrah sighed and wrapped the blankets tighter around her as she watched Luna packing clothes for the both of them. Rumors of inhumanly strong bounty hunters that failed at no mission had reached the ears of the incredibly wealthy. Luna was kind enough to be taking Allyrah with her to meet them and send them on a quest for a fountain that was said to cure any illness. If anyone could find it, then they were sure the mysterious bounty Hunter group, that called themselves bulletproof boy scouts, would be able to find it. 

    Seemingly coming out of a daze Allyrah suddenly shook her head. "Are you sure Lulu...maybe it's just my time. I stopped having dreams altogether lately. What if that's just a sign? I don't want to risk you getting in trouble or missing out on your upcoming debut into the upper society. Your father will kill us both if that happens…" she was rambling back and forth about whether or not they should really go. They would be running away after all. Even if they were adults now, they still had responsibilities, especially a certain rambunctious princess. Looking over at Luna, who had suddenly stopped packing and had both her hand on her hips, Allyrah sighed. She knew that look. There was no changing her mind about this. Still...two young women risking everything to go see a group of mysterious men just sounded kind of shady. What if they were evil? What if they kidnapped them if they found out who they were?  What if she died on the way there and Luna was left all alone? Allyrah was seriously worried for her closest friend in the world. Luna waved off her fears as she sat now next to Allyrah. 

    "Ally...you know why we are doing this," she explained for the gazillionth time why they had to do this. She knew that Allyrah's dreams having stopped wasn't a good sign and feared for her dearest friends life. Allyrah closed her eyes and leaned into Luna who slowly relaxed and began humming a song to soothe her friend and calm her mind. After the song finished and Luna was done packing, they snuck out of through the servants quarters and into the garage. Luna was the only one that knew how to drive, which was fine considering Allyrah was too sick to drive anyway. They picked the quietest car and snuck the keys out from the valet room while the guard was in the restroom. They quietly drove away and it would be hours before anyone noticed they were gone. 

Luna

    Luna ran around her room, grabbing clothes from her dressers and shoved them in bags. Luna was worried sick for her best friend. She couldn't stand watching her best friend suffer any longer. She watched as Allyrah shivered, Each day Allyrah grew sicker and sicker, her health deteriorating more as days went by and that worried Luna. 

She was angry at herself because there was nothing she could do to help her. It's not like she didn't have the money, she was very wealthy in fact. She hired the most expensive doctors, Healers, witch doctors, anyone who can help her find out what was wrong with her but sadly there was no answer... No one knew what was wrong with her. Luna was an only child to the king and queen. So when she met Allyrah, they immediately became close friends, they were inseparable, they were like sisters. That is why Luna was doing everything possible to save Allyrah. She couldn't lose her. 

Luna heard rumors about a bounty hunter group who never failed a mission. It's said that they are extremely strong, and the best bounty hunters around. That is why Luna did everything in her power to locate them. Luna secretly sent out a maid to find information on where she could find this group, who go by the name 'Bulletproof boy scouts'. When her maid returned with the information, Luna set her plan into action, she had to take Allyrah to meet them.

As Luna packed she heard her nickname Allyrah gave her when they were younger. "Are you sure Lulu...maybe it's just my time. I stopped having dreams altogether lately." Allyrah rambled back and forth "What if that's just a sign? I don't want to risk you getting in trouble or missing out on your upcoming debut into the upper society. Your father will kill us both if that happens…" Luna stopped packing and gave her a look, which immediately shut Allyrah up. Luna knew Allyrah was worried that something bad might happen along the way but Luna didn't want to risk it by wasting precious time sitting and waiting when she can go out and look for a cure. 

Luna explained to Ally once again why they were leaving. Allyrah used to have dreams all the time about angels but now for some reason she stopped having the dreams and right at the same time as she got sicker. Luna knew this was a bad sign and feared for Allyrah's life. Luna hugged Allyrah and hummed a song to help Allyrah clear her mind and calm her down. When that did the trick, she continued to pack. Once they were done, they quietly snuck out the servants quarters into the garage. After picking a car, Luna drove off to find the famous bounty hunters. 

Luna cursed at herself once she saw that it started to pour outside, it's been about 5 minutes or so since they left. She glanced at Allyrah, she didn't look so good. She looked pale and she struggled to stay awake. "Hang on Ally, we're almost there." Luna followed the GPS, and finally they arrived at their destination. Luna ran to the passenger side to help Allyrah out of the car. Luna held onto Allyrah and carefully made their way to the door. 

Luna rang the doorbell, biting her lip. "Come on, come on." Luna mumbled to herself as she tapped her foot, praying someone was home. She was worried the rain was going to make Allyrah even sicker. She was about to ring the doorbell once again when the door suddenly opened. Before Luna could say anything Allyrah collapsed. Luna gasped and tried to catch her but thankfully one of the guys caught her and immediately brought her in the house, Luna following right behind.
