The Princes of Power Book 1

Chapter 1: Princes are Bitches

Park Jimin was a cadet in the horde; he was raised in the fright zone since he was a baby. The Horde didn't ever tell Jimin about his life before he was taken in. He just knew that the horde was his family.

Jimin was in a training room, kicking and punching a punching bag. His blond hair messy, his head drenched in sweat. "Take that, you stupid prince!" The punching bag had a drawing of one of the prince's on it.

Jimin was taught from a young age that princes were dangerous, scary, the villains. Jimin grew up resenting them despite never meeting one. Yugyeom, his foster parent. Always told him horror stories about the princes.

Jimin and Yoongi heard a voice over the PA; "all squadrons, report to the training area immediately for evaluation."

That was Jimin. He put on a white long-sleeved shirt with a red horde symbol on the back. You could see it from a mile away. Members of the rebellion would identify him almost immediately if Jimin left the fright zone. But he never did. He was never allowed to leave until he could prove himself.

Jimin ran to the training area along with a few others. He waited for his best friend to show up, but he didn't see him. "Have any of you seen Yoongi?" He asked the other cadets.

They shook their heads. Jimin sighed, 'not again.'

A commander walked over to the group of boys, "alright, cadets. The simulation is about to begin..." he looked at the space between Jimin and another cadet. Someone was missing. "Jimin, where's Yoongi?"

Jimin swallowed, "he'll be here, I promise." Yep, Jimin always covered for Yoongi. Yoongi would never show up to these things on time.

The commander rolled his eyes, "better be here soon." He sighed and continued, "in your simulation, you will be passing through the dangerous whispering woods to reach Bright Moon. Your mission is to defeat the Queen of the princes and redeem Bright Moon in Lord Seokjin's name." He explains the Procedure to the group of Teenagers. "Good luck!" He Said finally.

Jimin ran through the training area. Yoongi had yet to show up, very typical of him. Through Jimin's tech glasses, he saw purple demon-like creatures. This is what the horde was taught the princes were like.

A few of the cadets were knocked out of the simulation; things started to get hard. The floor was starting to get red, and those areas began to disappear. And that's when Jimin saw her, the queen of the princes, or... a robot in the simulation pretending to be her. Jimin jumped onto the robot with his sabre and bashed the robot's guns in with it. Jimin managed to knock it out and tripped and flopped on his chest. The robot is still standing on the floor, so close to falling through.

Jimin noticed a pair of legs walking by him and kicking the robot into the hole, and it fully fell through.

A red spot on the floor started to blink, but Jimin pressed his sabre button, nearly falling through the floor if it wasn't for it.

Jimin caught a glimpse of whose legs they were, Min Yoongi. A Cat-Human hybrid. He had short black hair, red ears and a black tail. His teeth were slightly pointy. His Attire was just what most cadets wore; a white and red shirt, black pants, and no shoes.

Jimin looked up at him, and he looked down on Jimin. "Hey Jimin, how's it hanging?" He joked.

Jimin rolled his eyes, "Yoongi, you really had to show up late so that I could do the hard parts?"

Yoongi faked a pout, "oh come on, that robot was heavy." He laughed a bit, "now come on. You look silly hanging down there." He held his hand out for Jimin. Jimin took it.

The two went into the locker rooms, Yoongi sticking close to Jimin the whole time. "You should've seen your face!" Yoongi laughed a bit.

Jimin scoffed as we washed his hands, "Yoongi, we're senior Cadets now. And you're still pulling the same childish, immature-" Jimin flicked water in Yoongi's face and started giggling. Yoongi hissed but then laughed along.
