----------------------------------------------------------------

"Luscev-ssu wait!" I called out and followed Luscev-ssu's retreating form out of the room right after our meeting. We already devised a brilliant plant with the help of Tom-Ak-Ta but our major problem was getting everyone to work together especially Luscev.

"Quit following me!" he snarled.

Ever since Samael-ssu and the rest of the five arrived, Luscev-ssu had been extremely upset and every second was a chance to spark a fight with them. If this continued on and if we couldn't harmonize with each other, how can we work together in order to get them off of this planet and save this world from a catastrophic end?

I followed Luscev-ssu into a room and watched him punch the wooden door into splinters. He released an angered groan and started to mess things in this room except for the bed before throwing himself on the mattress, clutching the thick blanket against his nose and sniffing the scent off of it.

"Ayah..." Luscev-ssu whimpered. "Ayah...ayah!" he started to sob. I placed my hand over my pained ticker and remained completely still. I did not want to upset Luscev-ssu any further with my presence but at the same time, I cannot just abandon him in his weakest and devastated state.

Seeing him like this I cannot help but think that the presence of the five was a threat to him. I had seen how much Lucian-ssu meant to him and how much losing him would equalize to the lost of the quality of his life.

The arrival of his five fathers gave him the impression of the day that Lucian-ssu will finally leave his life. Their arrival meant the end of their joyful days. Their arrival meant that his ayah wouldn't adore him as much as he had before they came.

But I strongly believe that it wasn't the case.

"Lucian-ssu won't love you any less so please...have some more trust on him," I murmured. Luscev-ssu's sobs died down and silence erupted between the two of us. "Lucian-ssu loves you so even without his presence, please cherish that affection and believe."

Can you still not feel Lucian-ssu's unending compassion towards you? Because even before I returned to this planet, I already knew how much he valued you. How much more evidence do you need for him to prove that you do not value any lesser than his lovers? Luscev-ssu...please have some more faith in him.

I felt a presence behind me and found Raphael-ssu at the doorway staring at Luscev with saddened eyes. He diverted his gaze to me and he gave me a nod of acknowledgement.

"Do you really think we'll take him from you with the knowledge of how painful it was to lose him?" Raphael asked gently. "We wouldn't do that Lusceviel. We would never do that. No matter how selfish the other four are, they won't be cruel to their own son. In behalf of the other four, I apologize for not being there as you grow up into a fine man but I know that Lucian gave his all to provide everything for you no matter how hard it was to raise a child," he spoke and started to walk towards him.

Raphael-ssu sat at the edge of the bed and reached out to pat Luscev-ssu's head. "You may not need us in your life anymore because of the many years of not knowing us but can you give us a chance in your life to become your fathers? I only ask you of this Luscev because not knowing you and not being able to care for you meant that we just doubled the days that we became so useless."

Raphael-ssu took the time to wipe some tears that rolled down his cheeks before proceeding. "Luscev...I'm really sorry. I promised myself that I would be there in every aspect of Lucian's life but I wasn't there when you were born. I failed him...I failed you. I wish I was there to catch you and cradle you in my arms because that would be the best moments in my life. You are a gift from Lucian that we never got the chance to receive and now that you're here, I want to do everything in my power to prove that I am worthy of Lucian's gift."

The angel wiped more of his tears and rubbed Luscev-ssu's ear with his thumb before standing up and patting me on my shoulder. "Let's leave him for a bit..." he murmured at me causing me to follow his footsteps outside. He brought out a white handkerchief and handed that to me.

"What is this for Raphael-ssu?" I asked him with much confusion. He needed this more than I.

"I'm not much of a fan of an audience whenever I show my feelings but your tears gave me confidence that my words had enough sincerity in them."

With that statement my hand immediately shot out to my eyes and found that they were indeed wet.

"I am sorry!" I blurted out and wiped my eyes vigorously. "It is just that your words really touched my ticker and I deem them very beautiful!" I explained making Raphael-ssu smile a bit before looking straight ahead.

"I'm glad that our son has a mate like you. Please don't give up on him despite his tough shell. Seeing the two of you starting to bond, I can't help but reminisce the days before Adam and Eve. I wish Luscev was able to see our world before."

I smiled at Raphael-ssu and felt excited. Planet Aecha was much like Earth but our governing power maintained the creation of Kaisen on land and in water. Our world won't disappoint them.

"How was the world before Adam and Eve?" I asked him.

Raphael-ssu's eyes softened even more and his lips spread out in a calm smile. "Beautiful...Simply beautiful..."

"Because our family was complete and no wealth and no fame can ever replace that. Those were the simpler days when all of us will just gather around the fire and enjoy everyone's company. We laughed, we cried, we argued and we made up but all of those were normal in a family right? I wish I can get that back. I'll give up everything just to bring those times back. It was simplicity at its finest."

Those were the last statements that Raphael-ssu gave me which explained his description of the world before and hearing those words gave me enough drive to purse my purpose here without fail.

I will help them regain their lost paradise even if it cost my life.

We got inside the room where all of us had our meeting and found that Thomas-ssu and Coco-ssu were back.

"Have you contacted your friends Aecha?" Caleb-ssu asked.

I nodded and gave them a reassuring smile. "They'll arrive here any minute now."

"How can they access this place anyway? It's not like I'm worried about them or anything but if they are going to make an appearance like Aecha here then we're all in danger for falling fireballs," Slade-ssu pointed out.

"We opened up a portal in the Bermuda Triangle. They can jump inside. Let's just hope they don't drown," Rui-ssu told us causing a jolt of worry to electrify me. I should not worry since the ship can withstand currents but you can never be too careful.

Caleb-ssu and Samael-ssu sneaked their way behind Slade-ssu and bent down at the level of his ears since he was sitting on the chair. "I-it's not like that ba-baka! St-stop it ba-baka!" They teased making Slade-ssu lash out on them.

"! (Assholes!)" he cursed.

A half horse and half human barged inside the room with a stern face. "Your Majesty there's an unidentified flying object which appeared at the skies!"

"That must be Team Ske!" I stated enthusiastically.

I ran to the window and saw our ship hovering on top of the island.

"Aecha are you here?" Stugox asked through our transmitter.

"I am here Stugox, please land somewhere safely," I instructed them.

"Oh wooow! Earth has so many dimensions!" Hyuk Min excitedly cheered.

"You kept us waiting for so long you stupid idiot. I'm going to strangle you when I see you!" Ki growled.

"No need Aecha, we'll just jump out," Stugox told me.

"Nice ride ya got there, can I play with it?" Samael-ssu asked.

"Don't you dare you dumb fuck," Caleb-ssu warned.

All of us gathered to the spot where the ship was flying over. There were many citizens of Eli waiting and I gave them the signal to jump out. There were many gasps from the citizens when Team Ske leaped out from the ship. Rui told the people of Eli to give my team some space to land.

"That looks exciting I want to do that too," Lucian-ssu murmured blankly while watching each person of Team Ske descend.

"Well come on then!" Samael-ssu cheered and gathered Lucian-ssu in his arms before vanishing into thin air.

"What the— SAMAEL!" Raphael scolded.

"You can't be serious! Where are you taking my Lucian you dumb fuck?!" Caleb-ssu protested and jumped on Rapahel's back. "Giddy-up! We're coming after them!"

"Get off of me Caleb!"

"Give back Lucian you bastard or I'll rip your innards and feed it to this mutt!" Slade-ssu threatened before transforming into his dragon form causing numerous establishments to get destroyed by his mere size.

Were they always this destructive?

"Disgusting! You eat it you scaly reptile!" Caleb-ssu retorted. "And hey, I said giddy-up you chicken feet!"

"Am I a horse or am I a chicken, make up your mind!" Raphael-ssu screamed exasperatedly as if he was so tired of dealing with someone like Caleb.

"Don't cause a ruckus here Slade— Slade!" His twin scolded when Slade-ssu flew up to search for Samael-ssu and Lucian-ssu. The winds he left in exchange for his ascent destroyed even more houses.

"What the heck is that?! That is not sexy!" I heard Hoets screech into our transmitter when he survived from the rampage of Slade-ssu in the sky.

"Aecha, is it safe to sleep until I get down?" I heard Won ask me.

"Please sleep when you get down Won. It is not safe especially with Slade-ssu rampaging in the skies..." I explained it to him as best as I could as to not hurt his feelings.

"I missed this," Buck-ssu laughed.

"You mean them killing each other off because of Lucian-onii? Yeah sure, be sure to clean any bloodshed because I'm not cleaning any of it," Rui-ssu grumbled.

Team Ske landed firmly on the ground with much strength and power on their legs and feet —except for Imsothy who lost his balance for a few seconds— before straightening up and having Stugox standing in front with the rest of the members spreading out in a triangle formation.

Team Ske made a movement with their right hand which was in a tight fist with their thumb poking out. They made slashing motions starting from their necks in a Z-track motion and ending the movement with a firm hit on their chest.

"Team Ske is so cool..." I whispered in awe. That must be the signature greeting of the Paragons whenever they meet the inhabitants of other planets.

"We are the Paragons and we're—"

"Wohoooooo!" I heard Samael-ssu holler before landing —not to kindly—on top of Stugox with Lucian-ssu in his arms. Samael-ssu's landing caused a crater to form on the ground which increased my concern for Stugox's well-being.

"That is extremely fun, let's do that again," Lucian-ssu murmured monotonously.

"As you wish my darling bae~" Samael-ssu cooed with much adoration.

"Stugox!" I called out in worry. I don't doubt that it took a toll on Stugox's system considering that Samael-ssu's strength upon landing was two times more powerful than Team-Ske's combined.

Samael-ssu looked down in annoyance when he heard Stugox groan. "I think I stepped on something. Oh shit, sorry, does this mean I'll go to hell in your world? Sweet!"

Joe ran up behind me in shivering fear before screaming: "THEY'RE GONNA KILL US ALL!"

All of us returned to the castle with Slade-ssu carrying Stugox on his shoulder without much effort. Sevor-ssu forced Slade-ssu to carry him as to take responsibility for partaking in the sky jumps even if Samael-ssu was really the one at fault.

"Let's set up the equipment, Imsothy, put this there," Ki ordered.

We were going to assess Lucian-ssu's body for Asahi's soul. Samael-ssu can do it but since he was going to partake in a rebirth that Tom-Ak-Ta stated may take quite awhile, we won't be able to monitor the activity of Asahi.

"The plan is we're going to use Asahi's soul in order to control the fragments of Lucian's power. Lucius is after the fragments so through Asahi, we can spot any fragments taken and pinpoint where Lucius is," Caleb explained.

"So who is this Asahi if I may ask out of my sheer sexiness?" Hoets questioned as he activated our holographic computer.

"He's the first born ancient. It's a long story," Sevor-ssu replied. "But we need to save Lucius who is Lucian's brother and destroy the Queen's soul because as long as she exists, Earth is still in danger with or without judgment day. Only Asahi can do it."

"We also need to perform the rebirth of Lucifer, Samael, Luscev, Rapahel, and Elim since they are the ones who have the most connection with the Christian God," Thomas-ssu brought up. "But if anything, I think all of us need to be reborn since most of us were born in this planet. There's still a possibility that He can use any of us against another. It's better to be safe."

"Preparations are ready," Joe reported.

Samael-ssu assisted Lucian-ssu down on the couch and Ki started to attach electrodes in each side of his head and on his chest. All of us were hunched inside a spacious room with not much furniture.

Sevor approached Lucian and cupped his cheek. "Will you be okay?"

Lucian-ssu nodded. "Yes I will. None of the souls inside my body have ever hurt me. They are all my friends."

"Lucian~ Please tell us if you're getting uncomfortable!" Caleb-ssu cried out.

I could not understand Caleb-ssu's mood. He can range from being serious and untouchable at most times but when facing Lucian-ssu, his mood completely changes.

"We'll start now," Imsothy announced as he typed on the holographic keyboard and pressed buttons on the monitor. I felt Slade-ssu tap on my shoulder and I found him glaring at me.

"If that thing hurts Lucian I'll send you and your team back to your ship with one swoop. Take that mutt with you," he threatened.

I personally do not know how this procedure worked but Ki told me that it was safe. "Yes, please do not worry. My team will never inflict harm on him."

I understand how all of them were concerned about Lucian-ssu. I was also worried about him especially knowing that a soul such as Asahi's resided within him ever since birth.

But if Asahi did want to hurt Lucian-ssu, he would have done so sooner. I do not think that Asahi meant any harm.

Numerous faces appeared on the monitor and everyone was in awe. Those faces appearing in the monitor were the very souls residing inside Lucian-ssu. The screen showed one thousand and four souls. Lucian-ssu housed that many souls within his vessel without any problem.

"How...how is this possible?" Ki asked in astonishment. At the moment we have seen one hundred souls and we had to take a good look at each one of them.

"Be sure to look at them closely. The last time I viewed Lucian's soul bank, Asahi's soul didn't add up to the count. He was able to hide from my power," Samael-ssu reminded us. "Sneaky bastard..." he murmured. Won and Stugox sat on the floor against the wall and both of them were sleeping and were missing out such rare condition.

An hour passed by and we were at our five hundredth soul. That was when our holographic system acted out strangely. The lights from it fluttered out and the process of dissecting each soul increased and we were suddenly at our 1003th soul. A worried and frightened face of a long-haired man screamed at us.

"Watch out!" he warned us before the monitor showed that all 1004 souls were covered. It then revealed the face of a red haired man with a sinister appearance. Our system  did not include Asahi in the soul count. He was able to trick our system that easily?

"Looking for me?"

There was no mistake. This was him.

The electrodes attached to Lucian-ssu got struck away by an electrifying energy. Lucian-ssu was quiet and was unaffected by all the commotion happening inside the room.

"Get Lucian!" Rapahel ordered.

"No use! Asahi is still residing inside of him!" Caleb pointed out.

"Fuck! Chicken wings, exorcism now!" Samael-ssu ordered.

"His soul isn't a demon you moron! The only person here in need of exorcism is you!" Raphael-ssu rebutted.

The system completely shut down causing the whole room to be conquered by darkness. My breath hitch when I felt something lash out on me and my whole body was tied by somethingwire-like. Team Ske activated the light in their eyes and someone turned on the lights of the room.

That was when I discovered that I was wrapped with one of the electrodes.

"Aecha are you alright?!" Hyuk Min asked.

I blinked at the realization of the state that I was in. "I—"

A strong electrifying current flowed inside of me causing my system to abruptly shut down. When I woke up, I wasn't in the royal castle of Eli.

I was in an open field of grass facing the fallen King of Ancients. He was shorter than me by a few inches and his hair was as brilliant as Samael-ssu's hair. Despite the difference in our height why did I feel...so small compared to him?

"I know what you need however, what can you people give me as exchange?" he asked while still bearing that threatening look on his face.

Di-did he want a massage?

I felt my body shaking from such immense power being emitted by him. His eyes trained on me waiting for an answer but I was too preoccupied with my growing fear of him. Asahi sauntered towards me and stood at my side. He placed his hand on top of my shoulder before whispering his demand.

"Kneel before the King."
