9 Hours Later

-

We finally arrived at our destination, but I have an unusual feeling about this place...

Kun gently picked up Jeno, and carefully carried him out of the ship. The High Five and everyone else joined us in front of the tree.

"This is the Phantom Eevoprava Tree. The celestial being is inside, contained in a cell"

Vexxen informed, leading us inside.

As we walked further in, we saw multiple Will-O'-The-Wisps flying around, occasionally following us.

This must be where Taehyung came from. They all have the same curiosity that he does.

After a few minutes of walking deeper into the tree, we finally made it to a cell that had a pink orb inside of it.

"This is it"

Vexxen announced, trying to find a way to open the cell.

I looked over and saw Taeyong quivering a little.

"You alright hyung??"

"The power that's coming from the orb... It feels so familiar to me..."

He didn't dare to look away from it.

Peter got tired of waiting and rusted the bars of the cell. Fasa easily tore it down after it was rusted completely.

Vexxen took the orb out of the cell and warned us to stand back. After we were all far enough, he placed it down and stepped back after popping it.

A blue and pink mist appeared where the orb was, and a warrior looking angel suddenly appeared, aiming the bow that she had towards Vexxen.

Wow...

She's really pretty. But, there's something familiar about her, even though I've never seen her a day in my life...

Very familiar...

It's as if, it's my own presence that I'm feeling, like she's a part of me...

She was about to fire at him, but then she noticed all of us behind her and loosened her grip on her bow.

"What's going on...?"

She questioned.

Her voice is so delicate despite how alert she is...

It reminds me of my own voice...

"I'm sorry that my brothers and I locked you up. My oldest brother took control over us, and we couldn't break free of his power"

Vexxen bowed apologetically.

"Oh... Yes, I see. The malicious aura I felt coming from you is gone"

She put her bow down at this realization.

She looked around at all of us, but when her eyes landed on Taeyong, she looked surprised.

It wasn't until then that I noticed that Taeyong was practically shaking now, and he was so shocked that he had his mouth covered with his hands.

"Hyung??"

I gently shook him, but he didn't look away from her

"I-It can't b-be..."

He stuttered.

Does he know her??

She put her bow and arrow away and slowly walked towards him. She stopped in front of him, and they just stared at each other.

She lightly held his face in her hands and Taeyong began to cry. Johnny looked just as surprised, while the rest of us were practically clueless as to what was going on.

"...Taeyong?"

She suddenly spoke, and Taeyong just nodded and broke down in tears.

They immediately hugged each other, leaving the rest of us even more clueless.

"I have questions. What is going on, and who is she???"

Sicheng questioned Johnny.

"T-That's the Legendary Fallen Angel..., Huang Luoyang!"

"WHAT?!"

Most of us shrieked.

Mark and Donghyuck even unfused from their shock.

We watched as the two of them had their little moment, but she soon started panicking.

"W-Wait a minute. Taeyong! Where's my son?! Where's Renjun?!"

She questioned.

He pointed in my direction, and everyone around me stepped away to reveal me to her.

It...can't be her...

When she saw me, she immediately dashed over to me with Taeyong.

Seeing that she was a little bit taller than me, she got down on her knees to be eye level with me.

There's no way that it's her..., but...

Her lavender eyes are so calming. It feels like I've seen them before, like somewhere out of a hazy dream.

And her gentle touch on my cheek... I feel like I've felt her soft hands against my cheek before, but I haven't...

A-And her pure angelic presence, reminds me of the day I never truly met her...

I...

I d-do know her...

We both shed a tear at the same time.

I felt my lip quiver, and more tears escaped the more I looked into her eyes.

"R-Renjun..."

"M-Mom-my...!!!"

We both broke down and hugged each other tightly.

Taeyong and Johnny both joined the hug, and surprisingly, he was crying along with Taeyong.

7 Minutes Later

-

After a few minutes of just about everyone trying to console us, we all finally calmed down and mom took a good look at me while wiping away my tears.

"Look at you... You're all grown up and turned out just how I knew you would~. You're so strong and very handsome~"

I blushed at her words, unable to hide my smile as we stood up.

Zuho suddenly came over, wiping away the tears he shed. He immediately hugged our mom and she looked very happy to see him.

"You must be my baby Zuho~"

She smiled, gently pinching his cheeks.

"H-Hi mom~"

He smiled back.

She then spotted Leiyong standing by Niha, and motioned for him to come over.

He seemed scared, but still came over. She hugged him, and he hugged back, seeming less scared.

"Little Leiyong, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I'm very sorry about what happened to your family"

She apologized.

"I-It's ok... It happened so long ago anyways, and I'm reunited with Renjunie so it's fine~"

He happily reassured her.

But then her smiled disappeared.

"Where's little Yoonho??? I would've expected him to come running to me"

She pondered.

I pulled myself together, and explained everything that's happened from hours past.

Her attitude changed back to when we first released her. She looked very angry and vengeful.

"Just wait until I get my hands on that man... He will know pain"

Her wings flared up more the angrier she got.

"Wait Luoyang! There's something we need your help with right now!"

Taeyong informed, trying to calm her down. 

"After you and Zhenya died, I ended up adopting six other boys who are now Renjun's brothers"

He motioned for the other Dreamies to come forward, and they did.

They stood in order from youngest to oldest.

"This is Park Jisung, the son of Poseidon. The adorable hybrid boy, Zhong Chenle. The young future overseer, Na Jaemin. Lee Donghyuck, the young pyrokinetic magic user. And Mark Lee, the cyrokinetic earth bender~"

"It's very nice to meet you!"

They all bowed, and she smiled.

"Wait a minute. You said six. Where's the last one Yongie?"

Mom questioned.

Kun carefully brought him forward.

"This is Lee Jeno, the young ninja arts master. His body wasn't always this size, and he's in really bad shape from his last battle. Vexxen told us that you might be able to help him with your power of Purification"

Taeyong explained, and she nodded.

Kun rested Jeno down with his head in his lap. Mom bent down and gently kissed his forehead and backed away.

Immediately after, his body began to shrink down as the darkness inside him flowed out. We all watched with anticipation as his body continued to shrink.

The clothes he had must've been on him for too long, because they didn't shrink with him. Vexxen quickly used his power to turn the overstretched clothes into new clothes that fit him, once his body shrunk back down completely.

Jaemin, Serafina, and Xiaojun immediately ran up to him and Kun, while the rest of us gathered around.

"Hyung! Hyung! Wake up! Please wake up hyung!"

Jaemin lightly shook him.

"Jeno...., please wake up...."

Serafina gently caressed his cheek.

After a few seconds, he still hasn't woken up.

"What's wrong with him? Why hasn't he woken up??"

Xiaojun seemed a lot more impatient and worried.

"It seems that he's lost a lot of energy, and that's preventing him from waking up"

"I'll help him"

Niha volunteered.

"You can really help him Niha???"

I questioned.

"I can. I never told anyone about this after my brother died, but one of my powers is Energy Transferal. I tried using it to save Yamato that day, but it didn't work, because I was too afraid... But now I'm thinking that I can help Jeno. I'll give him some of my energy for him to wake up. I wasn't able to save my brother, so I'll help you save yours"

He knelt down, and rested his hand on his chest.

A blue energy aura rose from Jeno's chest as the energy flowed into him.

After Niha finished, Jeno actually started to wake up~.

His mask was covering his face, but I know he was smiling.

Jeno soon opened his eyes, and Jaemin started crying. Jeno looked around, confused by his surroundings, as well as his new clothes.

"...Did I miss something?"

"Y-YOU'RE OKAY H-HYUNG!"

Jaemin attacked Jeno with a big hug, along with Serafina.

They both showered him with love and kisses, confusing Jeno even more.

"I must've missed a lot... What's going on? How did I get these clothes? Also, who's the pretty angel lady and that guy with the different colored eyes?"

Jeno's questions went on and on, but we filled him in while Jaemin continued to cry in his shoulder.

5 Minutes Later

-

"So, Xander wasn't kidding about how I could die from his power..."

Jeno frowned.

"That doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that you're alive and well, and that Renjun has been reunited with his mother"

Xiaojun stated, petting his head.

"Wait... If mom is alive..."

I mumbled, getting everyone's attention.

"Vexxen. You said there were two powerful beings that you resurrected. Could the other one...., be a demon?"

I asked and he nodded.

"One of the most powerful demons out there"

"Dad..."

I mumbled.

"Zhenya..."

Taeyong and mom both mumbled after me.

"Unfortunately, only Xansho knows where he's being held. but if we can somehow corner him, then he'll have no choice but to bring him out to try and use him against you all"

"We have no choice but to go after him then"

Mom stated.

"But wait! By that point, he'll have full control over him, and fighting a demon that powerful may prove to be lethal not only for us, but our entire universe!"

Vexxen looked and sounded scared.

Everyone looked a little scared hearing that, even Ten and Kun.

"..I don't care"

I stated, getting everyone's attention.

"I can't just leave dad to suffer under Xander's control. I just got my mom back, and now I want to get my dad back. I know I might've hated him for being a demon when I first found out about him and mom..., but he's still my dad, and he's done nothing wrong. I have to save him, and then the universe"

Everyone remained silent.

"...Zhenya is my husband, for better or worse. I can't just stand here and do nothing, knowing that he's in trouble. We vowed to protect each other, and to never leave each other behind. I'm going too, no matter how dangerous it may be"

Mom followed after me.

"Luoyang and Zhenya are two of my closest friends and family. And Renjun is not only their son, but he's also my son too. I can't just let this happen to Zhenya. I'm going to help save him, and do my best to prevent the destruction of our universe"

"...Taeyong is my best friend, and Zhenya is my friend too. I'm going with him, not only to protect him, but to also help him save our friend"

Taeyong and Johnny followed after us.

Whether they felt pressured or felt the same determination as us, everyone soon agreed to help save my dad and the universe, no matter the cost.

"You guys are crazy..., and I like that. I will do my best to help"

Vexxen smiled.

He's beginning to become one of us now. I'm glad.

"Let's go then. But first, I need to pay someone a little visit"

I smiled.

"Like who Junie???"

Suko questioned.

Everyone looked like they were wondering the same thing, making me smile more.

"You'll see~"
