"I DON'T KNOW WHAT the fuck is going on in hell, but I'm pretty sure our mother isn't the same mother who gave us a mission before we left. The King is definitely behind it. He's once again slowly getting closer to victory. And I'm definitely sure that if we keep this up...we'll all fail our missions." Wonho stated seriously.

     "Then what should we do? The King just killed Jiyong. He wants his body to use it as a vessel to go to earth. He wants you two so he could complete the seven evil emotions and become indestructible, and he wants to kill us all after. Dongmin told us you can help us strategize. So go on...tell us what we need to do." Taeil said as he looked at Wonho.

     Taeil was the master planner for the Demons and sometimes for the Arcs too. But if things are getting this complicated, then he's out of ideas. Wonho sighed and looked at everyone, "We're only here to send a message, but before we could do so we need to prepare you all."

     "Prepare us? With the games?" Jihoon asked. Still pretty mad after the last one.

     "Fuck this. We aren't even supposed to talk to you." Wonho says as he suddenly carried Hyungwon off the bed.

     "What are you doing?" Sunggyu quickly asked.

     Wonho looked at him and said, "We're leaving. I'm very thankful for what you did for us...but I can't stay here. WE can't stay here."

    "So that's it? You're just going to leave us all confused after everything that you just told us?" Suho says, but Wonho wasn't listening anymore. But when he opened the door, he was surprised to see a phoenix he was very familiar with.

     "Kharon..." he says, making everyone look at him as well.

     "Well aren't you a bit late," Minhyuk says as Kharon entered the room.

    "Put him down, I'll remove the mark on his arm. And come on, I bought all this blood for you." Kharon says as he shows them the bags of blood he was holding.

     Wonho hesitated, and Kharon saw it, so he patted his shoulder and said, "You're safe here, so don't worry about him. And I know you were instructed to avoid the sons as much as you can but I think today can be an exception."

     Finally, Wonho nodded his head and placed Hyungwon back on the bed. Kharon looked at the others and said, "I need to speak with them alone, please leave us."

     Sunggyu looked at their guardian confusingly, but he nodded his head instead and said, "You heard the old man. Let's go."

     Everyone did what they were told and left the room.

AT THE LIVING ROOM

     "What could Kharon be telling them now?" Lay asked curiously, but no one answered since they too didn't know.

     "Who knows, they could be plotting on killing us for all I know," Hyunseung stated.

     "No, I know Kharon. He's not here to betray us after everything he's done. He's more loyal to us than he is to the King," Sunggyu quickly defended. While everyone was waiting, Kharon went out of the room, his hands covered in blood, shocking everyone.

     "W-What the fuck happened to you?" Junhyung asked as he continued to stare at Kharon's now bloody hand.

     "I have bad news and good news. What do you want to hear first?" Kharon asked as he cleaned his hand with his own shirt, smudging the blood on it.

     Sungjae looked at him disgustingly and answered, "The good news?"

     Kharon sighed and sat beside Sunggyu with the others at the sofa, "The good news is that I removed the mark."

     "And the bad news?" Minhyuk asked.

     Kharon sighed again and answered, "The bad news is that I was too late. They know where those two are now. This means the lords will start looking for them in Seoul, in HAU, everywhere."

    "But they still don't know what they look like right?" Taeil quickly asked. Kharon nodded and said, "Yes. The mark just showed the lords the location, not the identity."

     "Well isn't that more of good news than a bad one?" Suho asks.

    "No, it's not. It only means we'll also be facing all the lords that are after them." Junhyung says, now realizing why this was bad news.

     "Wait, lords are the demons with names, right? The ones who can possess people?" Lay asked. When Kharon nodded as an answer and continued, "Why would lords want them?"

     "When the demons found out those two escaped hell, almost everyone followed and chased after them. Like what we've been telling you guys on and on, Pain and Panic are part of the Seven Evil Emotions, which means they're indestructible, which is why the King of Hell wants them. Now that they're here, what do you think those lords would do to them?" Kharon asked back.

     "They're going to possess them so they could be indestructible themselves," Taeil says, now understanding it.

    "Oh shit," Minhyuk says, now realizing the danger of it as well.

     "So what should we do with them?" Sunggyu asked, referring to Pain and Panic.

     "Well, they'll be fine on their own. But I don't know how long that will be. You don't have to worry, lords can't possess royal blood, which means you'll be safe." Kharon explained.

     "But how about us?" Junhyung asked, worried that this might affect him and his brothers too.

     "Lords can't possess Angels either," Kharon answered.

     "But we're not angels...we're human-angels." Mark pointed out, and this time, Kharon didn't answer, making everyone know that they were screwed.

     Kharon stood up and looked at the Demons and the Arcs, "Rest now, tomorrow will be a busy day. Pain and Panic will be upstairs. I know it's asking for too much but I hope you protect them. You'll know the reason why when this is all over."

     The Arcs stood up and bowed in front of the guardian, while the demons looked at him and nodded their heads, like giving him a very small head bow.

     "Then I'll be heading out first," Kharon stated before leaving the Holy Home.

    "Okay, let's go back to sleep," Junhyung instructed as he held Hyunseung's hand and goes back to their rooms. The others followed and went back to sleep, ready to face whatever challenges that would occur tomorrow.

*****

"So how was your night?" Dongmin asked as he looked at everyone at the table. The Arcs and Demons were now in the dining room, ready to eat breakfast when suddenly the doorbell rings.

     "I'll get it," Lay says as he stood up from his seat and opened the door, surprised to see a tall model-like man standing in front of their doorsteps.

     "How may I help you?" Lay asked as he looked at the man from head to toe. The man stared at him with an intense glare for a couple of seconds, making Lay gulp on the sudden scary aura the man was showing.

    "I'm Grim Reaper, and I'm here to take my kids." The man finally says, making Lay widened his eyes from shock.

     "O-Oh...please follow me," Lay said as he gestured Grim to enter the holy home. The moment Grim stepped inside, he was quickly welcomed by an intense headache.

     "Sorry, demons aren't really welcome here," Lay said when he noticed Grim clenching his fist because of the pain. When they arrived in the living room, everyone stopped eating and looked at the tall man with shock.

    "Who the fuck is that?" Junhyung quickly asked as he looked at the tall man.

     "Grim." Dongmin quickly answered as he looked at their new guest. Grim Reaper bowed in front of them all and said, "Good morning Peter."

     "Who told you about this place?" Dongmin asked instead of offering him to sit down.

     "Kharon did. He said my kids were here," Grim answered, making Dongmin sigh.

     "That phoenix..." then Dongmin looked at the Arcs and said, "Wake Pain and Panic up."

     Junhyung, as the leader of the Arcs, stood up and followed the instructions. The whole room had an awkward silence. So Grim looked back and Dongmin and said, "Aren't you at least going to let me join you?"

     "You don't eat." Dongmin shot back, making Grim chuckle.

     "Look, I'm not happy to be here either. I'm just here to take my kids and quickly leave this place. After that, we can all pretend that this event didn't even happen, sounds good?" Grim asked, but Dongmin ignored him, making Grim chuckle again, "As always, you're a pain in the ass."

     Dongmin was finally going to say something but Junhyung suddenly ran downstairs. While panting, he said, "They're gone."

     "What?" Dongmin and Grim asked in unison.

     "Gone? Did someone take them?" Sunggyu asked, but Dongmin shook his head and said, "Ghouls can't enter this place, nor could lords. Only higher ranked demons can get in, but as you can see, it's still painful for you."

     "Then where could they be?" Hyunseung asked.

     Grim sighed and looked at the angels and demons, "I know where they are. Sorry for the trouble."  Grim was about to leave, but Dongmin stood up and said, "Who are you serving Grim? Those two...or the King?"

     Grim stopped. Without looking at Dongmin, he answered, "If you still don't know whom I serve then you're a fool," then he left.

     "What was that about?" Jihoon asked as he looked at their guardian confusingly, but their guardian doesn't answer and massaged his temples instead.

     "We've been having so many visitors lately that I'm starting to really feel that this is a home," Woohyun suddenly said while he takes a sip of his coffee. Dongmin sighed again and looked at everyone, "Eat your breakfast quickly. You have more visitors at HAU."

     The Arcs and Demons' eyes widened upon hearing the guardian's instruction. With just those words they knew exactly what the guardian was talking about.

AT HOLY ANGELS UNIVERSITY

     The Arcs and Demons were walking in the hallway of HAU in their famous pyramid formations. Students would usually bow, or quickly leave since everyone was showing such scary auras.

     "Everyone should be cautious. We don't know when those lords will attack so it's best if we all stick together from now on, do you understand?" Sunggyu instructed as he and the rest continued walking.

     "Yes, Sunggyu." Everyone answered in unison. They arrived at their classroom and were surprised to see that neither Pain nor Panic was in the room.

     "Where the hell could those two be?" Sunggyu asked, but before anyone could answer, their professor arrived and told them all to sit down. So the Demons and the Arcs did.

     (Demons' sitting arrangement: Minhyuk, Hyunseung, Taeil, Jackson, Sunggyu, Suho)

     The professor called out everyone for their attendance and eventually started with the discussion. Jackson, who was the strongest amongst all of them, somehow couldn't concentrate well. He looked at his left and then his right, checking if something wasn't right, but there wasn't.

     "What is it?" Taeil –who was sitting beside him – asked, when he noticed Jackson's uneasiness.

     "Something's not right," Jackson whispered back.

     "What do you mean?" Taeil asked while still staring at the professor. And like someone answered his question, a student in the middle suddenly stood up, making the professor stop discussing.

     "What seems to be the problem Mr. Lee?" the professor asked as he puts the textbook down so he could look at the student who was just silently standing in the middle.

     Jackson was about to stand up, but Sunggyu stopped him like he was telling him to just relax and see what would happen.

     "Death is near for all of you." The student suddenly said, shocking everyone. But what shocked them the most was that his voice sounded weird, like hundreds of people said it all at ones.

     "What are you talking about? Sit down." the professor says, not showing how terrified he actually was. Then, the student started laughing and laughing and laughing until blood started to come out of his mouth.

     "Death is near! We will take you all!" he shouted as blood continued to pour out of his mouth.

     The students started to panic. They were about to stand up and run out of the room when Sunggyu quickly stood up and looked at the arcs, "Jihoon...now!" And with one command, Jihoon snapped his fingers, stopping time. 

     Everything stopped moving except for the Arcs and Demons, and the student who was now obviously being possessed. The rest of the brothers stood up from their seats and walked towards the students who continued to laugh.

     His eyes were red, but not like the eyes of the demon, his were bloodshot eyes like he hasn't been sleeping for weeks. Blood was still coming out of his mouth, and veins were slowly appearing from his skin.

     "I am facing the Princes of Hell...betrayers of the King...no demon has received such honor." The demon suddenly says, but instead of being touched, the demons were somehow freaked out about it.

     "Thank the gods we don't look like that when Hyungwon possesses us," Jihoon says as he continued to look at the demon that was swaying side to side like he was barely trying to stand.

     "That's because he doesn't possess us. Possessing means taking over. Hyungwon doesn't take over, he simply switches with us," Junhyung explained.

     "A-angels...Human-Angels!" the possessed student suddenly says when he looked at the Arcs. Then he creepily smiled and ran towards them, but Hyunseung quickly pushed him away and tackled him.

     "H-Help me tie him up in a chair," Hyunseung said while he was holding the student who was trying to break free from his grasp.

     "Touch! Touch the Angels! Touch the Angels!" the student stated as he was reaching out for the Arcs, and then he started laughing again.

     "Fucking help him!" Mark shouted, the hair on his skin now standing because of the student's peculiar actions. Jackson and Woohyun quickly helped Hyunseung and made the student sit on the chair. Then Jackson removed the boy's shoelaces and used it to tie him up.

     "Well aren't you a resourceful man," Woohyun said when he looked at Jackson who was tying the student's wrist.

     "Can't we just kill it?" Suho asked.

     "Idiot, we can't kill an innocent student," Taeil says, making Suho scratch his head embarrassingly.

     "W-What should we do with him?" Minhyuk asked, slowly panicking.

     "Should I look for Kharon? He's the only one who can perform an exorcism." Lay says, but before Sunggyu could say yes, Kharon quickly arrived to save the day.

     "I felt the presence, where is it?" Kharon quickly asked. Then the Arcs and the Demons moved aside so they could show them the possessed student. The student – who was apparently still laughing – stopped when he saw Kharon walk towards him.

     He smirked and said, "Another betrayer of the king."

     "What are you doing here...Guecubu," Kharon says; now standing in front of the student. The possessed student flinched but quickly shook his head and said, "N-no Guecubu...I am not Guecubu."

    "You are a long way from home Geucubu," Kharon says again, but he was saying the demon's name louder.

     "N-No! Ahh! Not Guecubu!" the demon shouted, now struggling to get out of the chair.

     Kharon placed his hand on his forehead and said, "Now It's time for you to go home...Abiit potest daemonium!."

     The student screamed his lungs out until blood would come out of his nose. Then, he fainted.

     "Well, wasn't that an unforgettable experience?" Sungjae commented, trying to absorb everything that happened just now.

    "So, how did you know who he was?" Taeil asked as he looked at Kharon. Kharon, who was exhausted just by what he did, looked at Taeil and answered, "It's just something you'd know naturally."

    "Well, I can't argue with that."

     "Where's Pain and Panic? Are they with the Grim Reaper now?" Kharon asked.

     "We don't know. They left the holy home this morning. But the grim reaper said he knows where they are so they're probably with him now." Junhyung explained.

     "I hope they are. It wouldn't be safe for them to be here. It's best if they continue to hide until things in HAU calms down." Kharon said, then he looked back at everyone and continued, "Arcs, would you mind putting things back in order? I need to have a word with my kids for a little while."

     Junhyung looked at Kharon like he wanted to ask about it, but he nodded his head instead, "Okay, we'll handle it from here."

     "Good. Demons, let's go." Kharon instructed as he left the room. The Demons looked at the Arcs first before leaving, like they didn't want to leave them after what happened.

     "It's okay, we'll be fine here," Lay says as he holds Suho's shoulder, but he was reassuring all the Demons as well.

    "We'll be back as soon as we're done," Sunggyu said as he left the room. The rest of the Demons following behind him.

     "Okay then, let's fix this up," Junhyung stated as he removed the shoelaces that were tied around the boy's wrist before tying it back neatly in his shoes. He then took off his handkerchief and wiped off the blood on the student's face. Then he took a jacket from the student's bag and made him wear it so it could hide the bloodstain on his shirt.

     Then Junhyung made him sit like he was taking a nap in his armchair.

     Woohyun took a towel on one of the cabinets and cleaned the blood on the floor. Then he threw the now bloody towel away so no one could see it. The rest of the Arcs sat back down, and then Jihoon snapped his fingers, starting the time again.

     The students who were about to run away, stopped when they realized the possessed student was sleeping.

     "W-What...what happened?" the professor asked confusingly.

     Sungjae quickly looked at him in the eye and said, "The student was sleeping. The Demons didn't come to class today. You were just discussing the lesson, and every one of you was listening."

     And like a mindless zombie, the professor took his textbook and said, "The student is sleeping. The Demons didn't come to class today. I was just discussing the lesson, and every one of my students was listening." Then the professor blinked, and the rest of the students blinked as well.

     "Now let's go to the next page," the professor suddenly said. And like nothing happened, the students followed.

     Junhyung looked at Sungjae proudly, then everyone pretended as if nothing happened as well.

*****

"The two S Ranked Demons are probably back at their dorms, room 402. It's best if you meet up with them first." Kharon instructed.

    "Why?" Sunggyu quickly asked.

    "I talked to them last night and asked them about Jiyong," Kharon said, and just hearing Jiyong's name made everyone listen to him attentively.

     "Pain wouldn't tell me anything, but he said they'd only tell it to you all...only when you finish the games," Kharon revealed, making Hyunseung laugh.

     "Games? Those stupid games again?" Hyunseung asked in disbelief.

     "They believe it can help you in the future. I too think it's childish and crazy, but they're the only chance we have in finding where Jiyong's soul is." Kharon explained.

    "Well it's not like we have a choice," Sunggyu said. He sighed and looked at his brothers and continued, "Let's go."

     Sunggyu started walking away, and the rest of the Demons followed. But Kharon quickly called out for them and said, "A lot more bad things will happen Demon."

     Sunggyu, who didn't turn back, answered, "Do you seriously think we still don't know that yet?"

     Then, they were gone. The Demons quickly went to the Holy Angels University dormitory, straight to room 402 where Kharon said they'd be.

     Sunggyu knocked, but no one answered. He knocked louder for the second time, but as expected, no one answered.

     "Let me..." Hyunseung said as he held Sunggyu's shoulder. Sunggyu nodded his head and moved aside so Hyunseung could walk closer. Then, Hyunseung started knocking softly and said, "We know you're there, open the door, it's us."

     It was quiet for a few seconds, but the door eventually opens, revealing Hyungwon, now looking much better compared to the last time they saw him. Hyunseung looked at his arm, glad the mark was gone. When Hyungwon saw Hyunseung staring at his arm, he quickly said, "Kharon removed the mark."

     "We know." Hyunseung simply answered.

     Hyungwon awkwardly cleared his throat, then he remembered something and said, "I'm sorry, where are my manners," then he bowed in front of the six princes.

      "How may we help you?" Wonho suddenly asked when he appeared behind Hyungwon.

      "Kharon told us to come here, he said you have more games in stored for us," Taeil said, making Hyungwon smirk.

     "I'm surprised. You are more eager than before," Hyungwon stated, but Wonho quickly pulled him back and said, "The games can wait, Hyungwon needs to rest."

     "Rest? Do you guys have any idea on what happened just now? A student got possessed. If it weren't for us the other students would have started panicking," Hyunseung said, but Wonho only smirked and said back, "And how was that unfortunate event our fault?"

    "Well if you didn't fucking get bitten by a ghoul then that student wouldn't have faced such an unfortunate event." Hyunseung fired back as he looked at Hyungwon.

     Hyungwon's smirk quickly transformed into a glare as he said, "I got bitten because I was protecting YOUR brother."

     "We didn't fucking asked you to," Hyunseung says out of frustration.

    "We were tasked to let the ghouls take his body but we risked everything just so we could protect him and now you're blaming us?"

     "That's enough." Sunggyu quickly says, pulling Hyunseung away from Hyungwon so he could calm down.

    "We hate each other...I get it. But we all know what happened today, and we all know what would happen in the future. You guys have missions, the Arcs have their missions, and we have our missions. Everyone's trying to do their missions but we end up fighting because of the same reason." Sunggyu says.

     "We're not trying to fight you, we're surprised that you still don't know that by now. So tell me, why do you guys hate us so much?" Wonho suddenly asked.

    "That's because you guys know where Jiyong is but you won't fucking tell us," Minhyuk answered.

    "Okay then, I get the hate but listen to this. Someone gave us ramen so we could serve it to you. We placed it in some hot water; we're only waiting for the noodles to soften. But you guys are too eager to eat, knowing that the noodles are still uncooked. Do you think we'll serve you the ramen even after knowing that you wouldn't like the results?" Wonho asked them.

    "Did he seriously make ramen as an example?" Minhyuk whispered to Suho but Suho only ignored his stupid question.

     "So you're telling us you're preparing us through the games, like how you're preparing for the ramen," Taeil says, making Wonho smirk, "Exactly."

    "But we want to do the games now. We don't care about the fucking ramen. We don't have enough time," Hyunseung insisted.

     "Like what I said, Hyungwon is still-" Hyungwon suddenly cuts Wonho off and says, "No, I'm okay. We'll start the next game."

     Wonho angrily looked at Hyungwon and said, "I said you're still too weak. You haven't regained all of your energy. I told you before that-"

     "I said I'm fine."

     "Well it looks like the man wants to continue on with the games," Minhyuk stated, then he walked towards him and said, "If you don't want to play then stay here, we'll take him with us."

    Minhyuk was about to grab Hyungwon's hand, but Taeil quickly shouted, "You fucking idiot! Don't touch him!"

     But it was too late, Minhyuk already did.

     Hyungwon had a lot more energy compared to anyone, even though he was low in it. Minhyuk had life draining, and his powers automatically sucked in all the energy since Hyungwon was literally filled with it.

     Minhyuk's eyes turned red while Hyungwon's eyes turned purple.

     "Pull Minhyuk away from him!" Taeil shouted.

     Jackson quickly pulled Minhyuk away while Wonho pulled Hyungwon away. When the two separated, both quickly fainted.

     "Great, and he just fucking woke up a few minutes ago." Wonho angrily as he was now carrying his partner up.

     Jackson, who was also carrying Minhyuk, looked at Taeil and asked, "What the fuck just happened?"

     "Minhyuk absorbed his energy," Taeil answered.

     "But Minhyuk can control his powers. He can't just suddenly absorb it," Hyunseung explained, worried that his best friend just literally fainted by one touch.

     "Did no one listen to Lay? These two's source of power is their energy, so basically they're filled with energy. Minhyuk's powers suddenly got triggered because of the sudden amount of energy, thus making him and Hyungwon faint. Hyungwon's out of energy while Minhyuk is now filled with it. Apparently, his body can't take it all," Taeil explained, then Wonho added, "And I thought he was the smartest."

    "Will he wake up?" Hyunseung asked.

     "Of course he will. He just needs to release all the energy that he absorbed. It will take some time but he'll wake up eventually." This time, it was Wonho who explained it.

    "Do you still have the bags of blood Kharon gave you?" Sunggyu asked as he looked at Hyungwon's –once again – lifeless body.

     "Yeah, I stored it at our refrigerator," Wonho answered.

     "Good, then he'll be fine. We'll worry about Minhyuk then," Sunggyu said as he looked at Minhyuk's lifeless body next.

    "This idiot. He faints at the time where we need each other the most." Sunggyu added.

    Suddenly, they heard distant screaming, making everyone flinch.

     "What the fuck was that?" Suho asked with his eyes wide from shock.

    "Shit...Hyungwon, this isn't the time for you to fucking faint." Wonho said as he started shaking Hyungwon's lifeless body like it was going to make a difference to begin with. Wonho's reaction made everyone realize what it was.

    "Suho, stay with these two, and protect them." Sunggyu suddenly instructed, shocking Wonho and Suho.

     "What?!" Suho protested. 

    "We can handle ourselves," Wonho quickly fired back.

     Sunggyu angrily looked at the two and said, "We don't have much time so fucking get inside and don't come out until we tell you to, do you understand?!"

     Suho flinched and quickly nodded his head. Then he looked at Wonho and said, "Let's go inside."

     The two quickly went inside the room and locked the door. Then Sunggyu looked at Hyunseung and said, "JS, can you bring Minhyuk back to the Holy Home safely? He fainted. We don't know what those lords could do with him, so it's best if we let him stay there."

   "Okay, but why don't I bring Hyungwon and Wonho with me? They'll be safer there too." Hyunseung stated while he was already taking Minhyuk's lifeless body from Jackson.

     "No, it's too risky. We don't want the lords to find them there. That's the only safe haven that we have. I'm confident Suho can protect them here." Sunggyu stated, and then Hyunseung nodded in understanding.

     "Jackson and Taeil will stay with me so we could see what's going on. Now go." Sunggyu says.

     "Alright, good luck," Hyunseung says. Then he ran off with Minhyuk on his back.

      Sunggyu, Taeil, and Jackson continued to hear the screams from the campus, the sound made the three gulp nervously.

     "You guys ready?" Sunggyu asked as he looked at his two brothers. Jackson, who was the strongest, smirked and transformed into his demonic self. Then he said, "I haven't had a good fight in seven months."

     Jackson's confidence made Sunggyu and Taeil smile, making them transform into their demonic state as well.

     "Alright. Then let's welcome our new visitors," Sunggyu stated with confidence as he and his two brothers ran back to the campus, only to see everyone panicking and running around. Some were even pushing the others just so they could escape the campus. But apparently, the main door was locked, causing everyone to be compiled in one area.

     "This isn't good," Taeil said as he looks at the students.

     Then, Kharon arrived and ran towards the two, "Where are the rest of you?"

     Sunggyu looked at Kharon, who looked like he was attacked by hundreds of students, "Things happened, we're all you've got."

     Kharon silently cursed and said, "They're here. They're ALL here. They're possessing so many students that I've lost count."

     "How many?" Sunggyu dared ask, not ready to hear the answer, "Almost two hundred students...or even more."

    "Shit, that's a lot of possessed students," Taeil stated.

     "Are Pain and Panic okay?" Kharon asked.

     "They are. Suho's with them. But Hyungwon is kinda...lifeless again."

     Kharon sighed and massaged his temple, "No wonder people are panicking like crazy."

     "And the Arcs?" Jackson quickly asked, worried about his lover.

    "They're at the lobby fighting off some of them. Everything was just...normal...then suddenly everyone started palpitating and throwing up blood. It's like a..."

     "Mass possession." Taeil continued.

     "Let's not waste any time. We need to help the Arcs," Sunggyu instructed. And without answering, the four of them ran off and arrived at the lobby where the Arcs were.

     "Demons!" Junhyung shouted, glad they finally arrived. Well...glad some of them finally arrived. The three summoned their weapons and was about to attack the students, but Mark quickly stopped them and said, "You can't hurt them! They're still students!"

     "Fuck," Sunggyu cursed, realizing it as well.

    "Stop time." Sunggyu quickly instructed.

     Kharon quickly stopped time before Jihoon or Sungjae could even do it. The moment time stopped, Sunggyu released a really powerful aura, causing the students that surrounded them to be thrown off.

     When they thought they were safe, Lay patted on Sunggyu's shoulder and said, "S-Sunggyu! They're coming!"

    Everyone looked at the hallway and saw a hoard of students running towards them. Sunggyu quickly pointed at the auditorium and shouted, "There! Go inside there now!"

     The Arcs and the rest of his brothers and Kharon quickly ran inside the auditorium and locked it. Woohyun summoned his swords and placed it on the door handle; using it to hold the door closed. Seconds later the students arrived and started pushing the door open. Thankfully Woohyun's sword is strong enough to hold it off.

     Junhyung was panting heavily as he said, "I know I've been saying this so many times now but...what the fuck just happened?!"

    "T-They were like...zombies," Jihoon stated, still not believing what he just saw.

     "They're looking for Pain and Panic, and to be able to do that they're possessing as many students as they can just so they could find the right one," Kharon explained.

     "If that's the case then where are the others? Were they taken now too?" Sungjae asked.

     "Minhyuk fainted so Hyunseung is bringing him back to the Holy Home. Suho's with Hyungwon and Wonho at their dormitory." Sunggyu answered.

    "Will those two be safe? Suho's strong but...with that many possessed students? I don't think he can handle it. I think we should go to him," Lay suggested, worried about his lover as well.

    "We can't risk going out there, especially when those things can easily possess you. Suho can handle it. Besides, no one can sense Pain and Panic; they'll be hard to find." Taeil explained.

    "Then what do you suggest we do? Wait for those students to come in here and possess all of us? Or wait for a miracle to happen?" Lay asked.

    "Well, we obviously can't fight them. We'll get them killed, and we don't want to kill hundreds of students," Taeil answered.

    "He does have a point," Junhyung says.

    "So what should we do now?" Woohyun asked since it looked like there were out of options.

    Taeil scratched his chin and analyzed the situation. Things were getting out of hand, and if they're not able to think of a solution, they'd definitely lose before they could even battle the king. Taeil was about to say something, but suddenly, everyone heard a big explosion from outside the auditorium.

     The students stopped pushing the door.

     And everything fell silent right after.
