Jaemin charged at us with his keyblade in hand, and began firing consecutive fire blasts at us.

Chenle immediately pulled out his kitten harp, and played a note on it.

When he did, it created explosive music notes that began destroying each of Jaemin's attacks.

"Nice one Lele~!"

I cheered him on, and he smiled as he continued.

"Whatever you do, don't let go of me. If you do, you'll only end up seeing what Jaemin-hyung is seeing, and I won't be able to help you resist the illusions anymore"

Chenle informed, and we kept that in mind.

Chenle managed to not only destroy all of Jaemin's attacks, but he also blinded his field of vision because of each explosion.

"Wait, I have an idea!"

Jisung suddenly stated and whispered his plan to us.

He said that if we each aimed at Jaemin and used one of our powers at the same time against him, we should be able to immobilize him or at least weaken him so we could bring him home!

So then, I created an orb of my decomposition ability, Jisung created one from his water ability, and Chenle formed a crystal that created a orange orb of weakening energy.

We heard Jaemin yelling in the distance, and saw him coming for us again.

"Fire!"

Jisung gave us the queue to fire, and we all fired off a beam of our energies at the same time.

All three of them combined to make an even more powerful beam.

Jaemin used his keyblade to block it, but he tried to attack us while he was blocking it, and it ended up hitting him head-on.

His keyblade disappeared and the beam turned into a giant vortex that he got caught in.

Jaemin screamed more and struggled within it, but his movements kept getting slower and weaker, until he finally passed out.

We all ran up to him, and I destroyed the vortex before it took too much of his energy.

I caught him before he hit the ground, and contacted Doyoung.

"Hyung, please send the portal now. I don't want him to stay here any longer..."

"On it"

After a few seconds, another portal showed up, and we quickly went through it.

Back on Ethora
Jaemin's Room

-

The three of us brought Jaemin to his room and laid him in his bed.

We didn't bother waking him up since he's been through so much these past couple months.

I restored all of the energy he lost, and made sure he was comfortable.

"When he wakes up, the effects of Planet Ghast will have worn off and he should be back to normal"

Chenle informed, walking out of the room.

"I'll leave you with him for a little while"

Jisung left out next, leaving me with Jaemin.

Doyoung already told me which ring belonged to Jaemin, so I pulled it out and gently slid it onto his finger.

I gently held his hand as I got up to go find Doyoung.

"I'll bring the rest of them back. I promise"

I let go of his hand and walked to the door, but stopped when I heard him speak.

"H-Hyung..."

"Yeah Nana???"

I went back up to his bed so I could face him.

He didn't even look like he was fully recovered or awake. He kept blinking as if he was trying to stay awake, and he just looked generally weak.

Despite that, he used some of his strength to hold my hand and smile.

"D-Do your best...~"

"I will. But please get some more rest Nana. You really need it"

"O-Okay..~"

I gently kissed his forehead, and finally left the room with a smile on my face.

"Good to have you back Nana~"

Planet Celea.

The planet that Jeno is stuck on.

It's a planet of depression. Every inhabitant on the planet is either extremely depressed, or already dead from the depression.

And with how long Jeno's been here, I don't know if he's even still alive or not. But nevertheless, I ventured into the portal to find him.

The problem is, it's been at least two hours since I got here and I still can't find him. And to make matters worse, the longer we stay here, the more depressed we get with every passing hour.

I soon came to a city that was darker than all of the others. I paced around, feeling as if I was about to breakdown at any second.

I never would've thought that trying to find Jeno would be this difficult. He still isn't anywhere to be seen.

I finally saw a purplish blue light in the distance and began running towards it. But I suddenly felt even more sad than I was before, and tears started falling from my eyes.

"Renjun! Don't lose focus!"

Doyoung yelled.

"I-I'm t-trying..."

Him yelling at me only made me slow down and start sobbing.

Taeyong suddenly started talking to me and tried to make me happy, but the power of the planet was way too strong, and it had already taken over me so much.

I couldn't take it anymore, and I just collapsed and curled up into a ball, crying my eyes out.

"Renjun..., please get up. We have to hurry and save your other brothers..."

Taeyong tried to reason with me, but the fact three of them are still missing just made me feel even worse.

I started feeling extremely weak from crying so much, and it was getting harder for me to keep my eyes open as I began drifting off to sleep.

I could hear Doyoung and Taeyong trying to keep me awake, but there was no point.

But before I fell asleep, I saw a tall shadow coming closer to me. I wanted to move away, but I couldn't. It picked me up and started running, carrying me towards the purplish blue light.

Relieved that it wasn't going to hurt me, at least for now, I drifted off to sleep.

I really hope Jeno is ok...

I don't know what I'd do if he's already gone...
