"WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?" Dongmin asked when he saw Hyunseung carrying Minhyuk on his back. Hyunseung and Minhyuk entered the Holy Home, then Hyunseung answered, "He fucking touched Panic."

     Dongmin looked at Minhyuk with disbelief and said, "You idiot."

     "C-Can you help me carry him to his room? He's kinda heavy." Hyunseung asked, making Dongmin realize Hyunseung looked really exhausted.

     "Sorry." Dongmin apologized as he carried Minhyuk for him, then the three of them went upstairs to Sunggyu and Minhyuk's room.

     Dongmin gently placed Minhyuk's lifeless body on the bed and looked at Hyunseung with a questionable look, "What's going on?"

     "Something happened at HAU. I'm not sure what it was but we heard the students screaming. Suho's with Pain and Panic at their dormitory, while Sunggyu and the rest are checking what the commotion was about at the campus." Hyunseung finally explained.

     The Arc's guardian sighed and massaged his temple, "I knew it. They've arrived. You should be with your brothers and help them. You can't get possessed, they'll definitely need you there."

     "But I can't just leave Minhyuk here," Hyunseung said with a worried tone.

     "Fine, I'll go to HAU and call the Arcs back. They're safer here than there. And when they arrive, head back to HAU. You demons are stronger when all of you are together." Dongmin stated.

     Hyunseung nodded as an answer.  Dongmin didn't waste anytime and immediately left the Holy Home. When the Home was now completely empty, Hyunseung looked at Minhyuk's lifeless body and said, "You fucking idiot. Did you seriously have to faint at such an important time?"

BACK AT THE HOLY ANGELS UNIVERSITY

     "He does have a point," Junhyung says.

     Woohyun looked at everyone and asked, "So what should we do now?"

     Sunggyu was about to answer, but he stopped when they suddenly heard a huge explosion from outside the auditorium.

     "W-what the fuck was that?" Jihoon asked as everyone looked at the door, surprised that the students weren't pushing it anymore.

     "Go check it out," Sunggyu commanded as he looked at Taeil.

     "No fucking way. You go check it out." Taeil quickly says back, somehow scared of what he might see outside. Sunggyu was about to protest again but stopped when Jackson did the honors.

     "Chickens," Jackson muttered to himself as he peeked through the small gap at the side of the door. Jackson wasn't saying anything, making everyone look nervous. But then the demon smirked when he got a clearer view of what was going on outside. Without saying anything, he quickly removed Woohyun's sword and gave it back to him.

     "Look who decided to join the party," Jackson stated when he finally opened the door of the auditorium.

    Everyone looked outside and was surprised to see all the students lying on the floor, unconscious. But they were even more surprised to see one of Arcs strongest fighter, Choi Seung Hyun AKA TOP.

     "Is that...Choi Seunghyun?" Taeil asked in disbelief.

     "Seunghyun!" the Arcs shouted as they ran towards him to give him a warm embrace. Well...except for Junhyung who thought it was too uncool.

     "No fucking way," Sunggyu said as he slowly walked towards the Angel. Seunghyun smiled when he saw the Demons, but his smile slowly faded, and he quickly bowed on his knees and said, "About Jiyong's death...there was no day that I did not regret..."

     "Oh shut up." Sunggyu quickly cuts off as he pulled Seunghyun up to give him a quick hug. Taeil walked towards him too and gave the big guy a pat on the back.

     "It's good to see you again Seunghyun," Jackson stated with a small smile.

     "It's good to see you too," Seung answered as he looked back at Jackson. Then, Kharon walked towards Seung and said, "The explosion...it was you right? What did you do exactly?"

     "Don't tell me you fucking killed them." Junhyung suddenly said.

     Seunghyun laughed and answered, "Do you seriously think an angel like me is capable of killing these many innocent students? I only killed the demons that were possessing them, I didn't actually kill THEM."

     "You can do that?!" Everyone asked in unison.

     "I can do it ten at a time. It's not easy but I can do it just fine. Well...I didn't train for almost eight months just to be bad at it." Seunghyun revealed, making Sunggyu laugh.

     "So that's why you were gone? You knew this would happen?" Sunggyu asked, and Seunghyun simply nodded, making Sunggyu laugh even more, "Of course you did. You guys always knew!"

     "I'm sorry but...what's so funny?" Mark asked. Taeil looked at him and said, "I think he lost it."

    "It's best you ignore him," Jackson added, making the rest of them laugh.

     "Sorry to break the reunion but I think we need to go," someone suddenly says. Everyone looked at their right and saw Dongmin with the guy everyone calls Grim. They were panting heavily; they obviously ran their way here.

    "What happened?" Kharon asked as he joined the two guardians.

     "It looks like HAU isn't the only place that's suffering from mass possession. The whole city is being possessed. Everyone's looking for Pain and Panic." Grim Reaper revealed, shocking everyone on the sudden news.

     "And this must be?" Seunghyun suddenly asked as he looked at Grim from head to toe.

     "That's Grim Reaper." Sungjae answered, making Seunghyun slowly nod his head, "Don't tell me he's protecting two of Pandora's evil emotions."

     "Of course you knew about that too." Sunggyu quickly added.

     "Yeah, and they're actually Pain and Panic if you're wondering," Junhyung says.

     "Pain and Panic? Sounds catchy." Seunghyun commented.

     While the rest were talking, Taeil suddenly remembered something, "Wait, if you're here, then does than mean Hyunseung and Minhyuk are at the Holy Home now?"

     "Yes, and I want the Arcs to go back too." Dongmin suddenly instructed, making the angels look at him with disbelief.

     "You want us to leave? You obviously need more men to help you." Junhyung immediately protested. He wasn't going to go home like a coward, especially when something like this had already happened.

     "You are safer there. Those lords would automatically want to possess you the moment they see you," Dongmin explained, but Junhyung wasn't going to back down, "No, we're staying here to help the Demons. So don't worry about us because we can handle ourselves. We didn't train our whole lives just to hide when something like this happens."

     The demons couldn't help but smile on Junhyung's determination. He was willing to risk it just to help them.

     "Let them stay. Like what Junhyung said, they can handle themselves." Sunggyu stated as he looked at the Arcs.

     Dongmin sighed in defeat, "Fine. But I need someone to go back to the Holy Home to switch with Hyunseung. We need Hyunseung here more than anything." Dongmin stated, making Junhyung nod in understanding.

     "If that's the case, I'll go," Sungjae suddenly suggested as he walked forward.

     "Jihoon and I almost have the same powers, but he's a better fighter than I am. You wouldn't need me as much as you need him. I'll call for Hyunseung and protect Minhyuk on his behalf," Sungjae says.

     "Are you sure?" Kharon asked.

    Sungjae nodded his head and said, "I'm sure. I will protect Lee Minhyuk even if my entire life depends on it. So you guys don't have to worry about him and just worry about what's happening here."

     Sunggyu squeezed Sungjae's shoulder and genuinely said, "Thank you."

     Sungjae smiled and nodded at Sunggyu's small gesture.

     "Well, I need to go. Good luck...all of you." Sungjae stated. As he was about to leave, Junhyung grabbed his arm and said for the last time, "You take care of yourself. Make sure no one touches you."

     "Don't worry...I might not be a good fighter, but I'm a fast runner." Sungjae reminded him as he pulled his arm away and ran off.

     "So what now?" Woohyun asked the moment Sungjae left them.

      Kharon looked at Seunghyun and said, "Can you kill all the lords in the city?"

    Seunghyun looked at the Demon's guardian and answered, "I can, obviously, but I can't do it alone."

     "Then who do you suggest we call?" Jihoon asked with his right eyebrow raised.

     "While I was training at the cathedral, the priests gave me a short discussion about Pandora's evil emotions, and apparently, the one called Nightmare can kill lords in one command," Seunghyun explained.

     "No fucking way. That would seriously be so convenient!" Taeil says excitedly.

     "But there's no Nightmare here. Like what we said, we only have Pain and Panic." Jackson explained, making Seung have a you-have-a-point look.

     "Well talking about Pandora's Evil Emotions, don't you think it's best if we go check on my kids?" Grim suddenly suggested, making everyone look at him.

     "St. Peter told me a boy named Suho is protecting them. I'm not doubting his strength but if all those students come to them I don't think he can handle it alone." Grim continued.

     "He's right. We should go back to them. Especially when they're our top priority." Sunggyu stated, then everyone agreed.

     Without wasting any time, all of them ran back to HAU's Dormitory. Seunghyun killing the lords inside the possessed students who they'd run into. Thankfully the dorm was empty, and no one could really sense Pain and Panic's presence so the possessed students didn't even bother to check the area.

     When they finally arrived at the emotion's room, Jackson didn't even knock and just kicked the door in one blow, quickly breaking it. Suho, who was in his demonic state, was about to smash Jackson's head with his hammer, but stopped mid-way when Jackson quickly held onto his wrist; the hammer just a few inches away from Jackson's head.

     "Oops...sorry Jackson," Suho said as he slowly pulled his hand away from Jackson's hold.

     "Where's Pain and Panic?" Grim quickly asked as he entered the room.

     Suho didn't even have to answer because Grim saw Wonho holding onto Hyungwon's hand on the bed. He sighed in relief. Glad they were still safe.

     Wonho quickly stood up when he saw their guardian, "What happened?" he asked.

     The rest of the Arcs and Demons entered the room, and then Kharon and Dongmin walked towards him, shocking Wonho even more.

     "We need to leave and take you to a safer place," Kharon instructed.

     "Why? Are the students of HAU looking for us now?" Wonho asked. 

     Dongmin smirked and answered, "Well actually...the whole city's looking for you now."

AT THE HOLY HOME

"Hyunseung! Hyunseung!" Sungjae shouted when he finally arrived at the Holy Home in one piece. He entered the home and quickly locked the door, hoping that no one was able to follow him. Hyunseung, who heard him, quickly ran downstairs.

     "Sungjae? Why are you alone? Where are the others?" JS quickly asked, surprised to only see Sungjae there.

     "They're still at HAU. My brothers didn't want to leave your brothers behind," Sungjae explained, making Hyunseung nod in understanding.

     "I understand. So, you're staying here I presume."

     "Don't worry, I promise to protect Minhyuk with everything I can, and besides, this is the safest place for both of us," Sungjae said reassuringly.

     Hyunseung smiled, glad Sungjae was willing to protect his brother. He held Sungjae's hand and said, "Thank you Sungjae. I promise we'll be back as soon as we resolve the problem at HAU."

     "Actually, the problem just upgraded," Sungjae suddenly revealed while scratching the back of his head. Then Hyunseung realized that Sungjae looked like his shirt was pulled by tons of people.

     "What happened?" Hyunseung asked seriously.

     "Well...the whole city is being possessed by the lords and they're all very aggressive." Sungjae finally revealed, making Hyunseung silently curse.

     "Then it means I really have to go. I entrust you with Minhyuk's wellbeing." Hyunseung finished, quickly running towards the door.

     "Be careful!" Sungjae shouted as Hyunseung finally slammed the door shut. When Hyunseung was gone, Sungjae sighed and thought, "Should I have told him about Seunghyun? Nah, let him be surprised."

     He locked the door, then ran upstairs to check if Minhyuk was okay. Thankfully, Minhyuk was still sleeping like a baby. 

     "I should change my clothes," Sungjae says to himself. But when he was about to leave the bedroom, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the living room. Sungjae went outside Minhyuk's room and slowly closed the door. Then he quickly summoned his weapon and slowly walked his way downstairs towards the living room.

     "Shit. Were they able to follow me?" Sungjae whispered to himself while his heart was pounding like crazy. But his nervousness was erased when he saw where the noise was coming from.

     It was actually from the mirror that was glowing brightly. Sungjae summoned back his weapon and ran towards the mirror, "Father? is that you?" he quickly asked.

     The mirror glowed for the last time, finally revealing Archangel Gabriel, Woohyun's father.

     "Father Gabriel!" Sungjae greeted as he quickly goes down on his knees to bow.

     "I'm glad you made it here safely Sungjae. But it looks like the whole city is facing great chaos thanks to Pandora's evil emotions." Gabriel told him. Sungjae stood up then looked back at him, "Yes. But Seunghyun has finally arrived. He's done with his training at the cathedral."

     "So I've heard. They'll be safe...for now." Gabriel stated.

     "It looks like those two really are important that the lords are willing to start this much chaos just to get them," Sungjae said.

     "They are. But what you have to worry about now is you and Beelzebub's son," Gabriel suddenly tells him.

    "What do you mean? We're safe here. I made sure no one followed me." Sungjae stated, slowly starting to feel the panic.

    "The mark the ghoul left on Panic's arm. It made them know where this place is," Gabriel revealed.

     "W-What, that can't be..."

     "They might not be able to enter, but they will break this place into pieces. Remember Sungjae, this is the only safe haven you all have left. You must make sure that nothing destroys it." Gabriel instructed.

     "B-But what should I do? Minhyuk...he's not awake! I can't protect him and the Holy Home at the same time!" Sungjae shouts, now panicking.

    "Find a way. You are here for a reason. Protect Beelzebub's son. They will arrive and take him. Make sure no one does."

     Sungjae slowly puts his head down. His hands were trembling as he said, "N-No...I can't. I'm not like Junhyung...I'm not like Seunghyun...I can't..."

     "That is enough!" Gabriel suddenly shouted.

    "You are not Michael's son, nor are you Samuel's. You are Phanuel's son for crying out loud! The Face of God! The one who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life. You will defend this Holy Home, and you will protect the Prince of Glutton", Gabriel said with full power, finally lifting Sungjae's spirit.

     Sungjae clenched his fist and quickly bowed on one of his knees, "Yes father. I will not fail you."

     "They're here...good luck son." Gabriel finally said. 

     Sungjae quickly lifted his head to look back at Gabriel, but all he saw was his own reflection. Gabriel was gone.

    Suddenly, he felt the ground rumbling, like hundreds of people were running towards them. Sungjae gulped but brushed his fear away. He quickly stood up and checked outside the window. The hair on his skin stood up the moment he saw what was approaching the holy home. There were at least a hundred possessed humans and even ghouls running towards the house.

     "Oh dear God, please guide me," Sungjae says as he quickly ran back to Minhyuk's room.

     "Minhyuk, please wake up. Please wake up." Sungjae tried to plead as he was aggressively shaking Minhyuk's lifeless body. Suddenly he heard a loud bang. Sungjae automatically knew the ghouls and the lords were now at the door, trying to push it open.

     "S-Shit...please goddamn it...wake up! I can't fight all of them alone!" Sungjae shouted. But it was no use, Minhyuk wasn't waking up.

     "Fuck this." He said as he finally gave up on Minhyuk.

     He closed all the windows inside and closed the door of Minhyuk's room. He ran downstairs and saw all the lords and ghouls trying to open the windows, but some were already bleeding. It was obvious the power of the Holy Home was strong, even from the outside.

     But the windows were slowly having cracks. Sungjae knew it wasn't going to take long before they break it.

      "Angel! Touch Angel!" the possessed suddenly shouted the moment they saw Sungjae.

     "Okay...You've trained all your life Sungjae. It's your time to shine." Sungjae told himself as he kneeled on the ground. Then he touched the cold marble floor and closed his eyes before saying, "Bless their souls Father."

     With full concentration, Sungjae released a powerful force of lightning. Weak enough to not kill the humans, but strong enough to at least kill the ghouls.

     He quickly opened his eyes and checked if what he did actually worked. He smiled victoriously when it did. He stood up, only to fall on his knees again. What he did made him weak. He wasn't used to releasing such a powerful force.

     Sungjae grabbed hold on the table and did his best to stand up. But when Sungjae thought it was over, he was surprised to see that he only defeated a few of them. More were ready to attack.

     "Shit! How many are you assholes?!" Sungjae shouted because of great frustration. The others, who were still alive, pushed the fainted ones who were in front of the home away and started pushing the door and windows again.

     "Those windows aren't going to hold much longer," he told himself as he saw the cracks getting bigger and bigger.

    Sungjae made the sign of the cross and took a deep breath, "Bless me, dear God." Then Sungjae summoned his silver sword. He held the sword on his right hand and took an umbrella on his left hand.

     "I can't kill those humans, but I can hit them just on the right places to knock them out," Sungjae planned as he readied himself.

      Finally, the windows broke, and the ghouls and possessed humans ran towards him with full force. Sungjae stabbed the ghouls who approached him, while he hit the humans on the back of the head, making them faint.

     He continued to do his strategy by killing the ghouls and avoiding the possessed with everything he's got. But they were too many for Sungjae to handle, and to top it all off, he was exhausted by the powerful force he emitted a few minutes ago. 

     The only thing that was helping him was the home itself. Some ghouls who entered would already disperse before they could even approach him, while the possessed were slowly becoming weaker. But it still wasn't enough because they were dozens of them, all attacking him at the same time.

     While he was trying to defeat everyone who entered through the windows, he suddenly saw some possessed humans approaching the stairs.

     "Prince! The Prince is above!" one of the possessed shouted. But Sungjae quickly hits him before he could even take a step on the stairs.

     "M-Minhyuk...d-don't worry...I will protect you!" Sungjae shouted, releasing another powerful force of lightning.

     Everyone who surrounded him either died or fainted. All Sungjae could do was fall on his knees again, but when he lifted his head, he gulped when he saw that more were coming.

     "N-No...I can't..." Sungjae quickly stopped and remembered what his Father Gabriel told him. So Sungjae used his sword for support so he could stand up. But when he turned around, he was surprised to see that a larger ghoul was already standing behind him.

     It was about to pierce its deformed hand inside Sungjae's chest, but Sungjae quickly moved aside and dodge it.  Unfortunately, it wasn't quick enough. Instead of his chest, the ghoul pierced its hand inside Sungjae's stomach.

     "Ahh!" Sungjae shouted in full pain.

     He lifted his sword with everything he's got and swung it with full force, beheading the ghoul. 

     When the ghoul dispersed, Sungjae quickly looked at his wounded stomach that was rapidly bleeding. He quickly ran to an altar and grabbed the holy water. He looked at the cross that was hanging on the wall, and then he made a quick prayer and sprinkled the holy water on his open wound.

    The pain quickly shot on Sungjae's entire body.

    "F-Fuck!" he shouted, but he clenched his fist and endured the pain. He looked at his wound. It was slowly closing, but it was still too slow to fully heal. He looked back outside the home. More were running towards them.

     Sungjae gulped and fell on his knees again. He was panting heavily. He was sweating and bleeding all over. He knew he was going to be defeated, so he raised his hand and said, "God the Father...I surrender."

     Everything was silent for a couple of seconds. But then, the ground started shaking, and lightning came down from the heavens, hitting everyone who came near the Holy Home.

     Finally, there weren't any ghouls or lords left.

     Sungjae slowly stood up and held his wound to stop the bleeding. His blood was dripping on the floor; even his hands were covered in blood now too. He looked at all the lifeless bodies in front of him. Then he slowly walked upstairs, holding onto the wall for support, leaving bloodstains on them.

     He arrived at Minhyuk's room. He entered the room and quickly locked it. He looked at Minhyuk's lifeless body on the bed and walked towards him, but Sungjae fell on the bed because of how painful his body was feeling.

     "Y-you gotta wake u-up...man," Sungjae said as he looked at Minhyuk who was lying beside him.

    When Minhyuk still didn't respond, Sungjae slowly sat back up. He removed his hand on his wound and saw the painful-looking hole. He was glad that it wasn't that deep to the point where his guts would come out.

     Thankfully the holy water was helping it heal. It was a slow process but Sungjae could feel that it was trying to close the wound.

     Sungjae slowly but surely walked his way towards the bathroom. He removed his bloody shirt and washed the wound with clean water. The first aid kit was downstairs, but Sungjae wasn't going to risk it anymore. So instead, he added an ointment on the wound, and then he placed a clean white towel on top of it. Then he took a jacket inside one of the cabinets and wrapped it around his stomach to hold the white towel in place.

    "This will work. I'll just let Lay heal me afterward." Sungjae tells himself. Then he borrowed a shirt inside the cabinet again and wears it.

     When Sungjae was about to lay in bed with Minhyuk, he felt the ground trembling again. His eyes widened as he quickly went to the window to see what it was.

     "N-No...this can't be..." he says as he takes a peek outside the window.

     His heart almost stopped when he saw more ghouls and possessed humans running towards them.

    "No! Fuck!" Sungjae shouted as he quickly looked at Minhyuk. He quickly ran towards Minhyuk, but because of his sudden action, his wound started throbbing again.

    "S-shit!" He almost fell on the floor, but he endured the pain and went towards Minhyuk, shaking him again.

    "Please Minhyuk! Please wake up! I need your help!" Sungjae pleaded, but Minhyuk still wasn't budging. Sungjae looked at the cross again, pleading at it. But when nothing happened, he clenched his fist in defeat.

    "I can't protect this place any longer...we need to....we need to leave." Sungjae finally said.

    He quickly held Minhyuk's arm and tried to teleport, but it just couldn't work.

     Demons and Angel could teleport, Demons through fire, while Angels through lightning. But it was nearly impossible to do so if you're exhausted or in a state of panic. Teleporting required full energy and great concentration, and currently, Sungjae didn't have both.

    To top it all off, he was trying to teleport with Minhyuk, who was obviously a demon. His powers weren't really effective on Demons.

     "Please!" Sungjae shouted as he tried again.

     He looked at the cross for the last time and said, "God! Please! We need to get out of here!"

     While Sungjae was pleading, he quickly heard the door downstairs being slammed open. They were finally inside again.

     "Shit! Come on powers! Work with me!" Sungjae shouted as he looked back at Minhyuk.

    He held Minhyuk's arms tighter, and then he closed his eyes again, "Father Phanuel, I'm sorry, I can't protect the home anymore. But please, let me protect Beelzebub's son." Sungjae pleaded as he tried to teleport again.

     Sungjae could already hear them running upstairs, causing him to sweat like crazy. But moments before they could reach the door, something sparked on Sungjae's hand.

     The possessed slammed the door open, but they were surprised to see that the two were nowhere to be found.

- END -
