SDS3 15: HIDE N' SEEK

SUNGJAE OPENED HIS EYES and was surprised that he was able to teleport away from the Holy Home. But the side effect was that he had no idea where he teleported to.

     Sungjae slowly stood up and looked at his surroundings. 

     "No way...did I seriously teleport ourselves to a fucking forest?!" Sungjae shouted with full shock, the moment he shouted, birds suddenly flew above them, startling him. He looked down and saw Minhyuk still unconscious on the ground.

     "I'm surprised you're still unconscious. But what I'm more surprised about is that I'm still freakin' alive," Sungjae says. Seconds later, he started laughing.

     "Oh my fucking god, we escaped! We actually did it Minhyuk!" Sungjae shouted again, but this time, he suddenly heard a howl.

    "Shit", Sungjae silently cursed as he squatted out of instinct. When he realized nothing was approaching them, he looked down at Minhyuk again, but this time he giggled silently. He held Minhyuk's shoulder and said, "You're alive...thank god you're alive."

     Sungjae was about to stand up again but his stomach quickly started aching, stopping him midway. He looked down and saw that his wound was bleeding again. Soaking his clean shirt with blood.

     "Fuck." He cursed when touched his wound, staining his hand with blood now too. Then he looked at the sky. It was getting darker, and one thing that he knew was that it was very dangerous to be in the forest at night. Especially when Sungjae was covered in blood.

     He looked around again, hoping he'd find a spot where they could rest, and to his surprise, he found a cave just a few meters away from them.

     "Okay big guy, we gotta move," Sungjae says as he slowly stood up this time so he wouldn't strain his wound.

     He tried to lift Minhyuk up, but sadly, he was still too weak. He just let out a powerful force that his body wasn't used to, twice. He battled with at least a hundred possessed humans and even ghouls. He teleported himself, and even Minhyuk, to who knows where, and he has a fucking hole in his stomach.

     How the hell is it possible that he's even alive?!

     "How the fuck am I gonna move you?" Sungjae asked as he looked at Minhyuk. But the longer he looked at him, his eyes were slowly closing, and everything around him was slowly getting blurry.

     The tiredness was finally consuming him.

      "No! You can't fucking faint!" he shouted as he suddenly slapped himself on the face. He shook himself up and grabbed Minhyuk's hand again, and then he started pulling him. Thankfully the mud was helping Sungjae slide Minhyuk easily.

      "S-Sorry Minhyuk but we gotta survive," Sungjae said as he continued to pull Minhyuk's lifeless body. The longer he was pulling, the more his wound was hurting.

     "Ah! Fuck me!" he shouted again, trying to ease the pain through cursing.

     "Come on! Just a little more! Just until we reach that goddamn cave!" Sungjae shouted again, still pulling Minhyuk with everything he's got.

     He glanced at his wound. The shirt was soaking wet to the point that his blood was already dripping. Then, he stopped pulling just to catch his breath. But that was the biggest mistake he had ever made because the moment he stopped, he fainted.

*****

"Why the fuck are we running?!" Woohyun shouted.

     Mark looked back at his best friend and shouted back, "Just shut up and hurry it up!"

     The Arcs, the Demons, the Guardians, and Pain & Panic finally escaped HAU and were now running towards an abandoned warehouse. When they got there, Seunghyun and Jackson forcefully opened the garage door and kept it open until everyone got in.

     Seunghyun then looked at Jackson and said, "Okay, let's go." Then the two quickly went inside, making the garage door fall behind them.

     "Okay, this is pretty dark," Jihoon says. Seconds later, all of the demons lit their hands on fire.

     "There we go," Jihoon said with a smile. Hyunseung, who thankfully got together with them when they were still at HAU, looked at the Arcs and said, "someone should seriously look for a switch or something."

     "No," Kharon quickly says, "We can't let them know we're here, especially since we're with Pain and Panic now."

     "He's right," Grim added.

     "Okay then. But we should at least sit down, Seunghyun looks like he could take a break." Hyunseung added as he noticed that Seunghyun was already breathing heavily.

     He killed most of the Lords at HAU that it exhausted him.

     "I agree," Junhyung stated as he sat down on the floor, pulling Hyunseung's hand so he could sit down beside him. Wonho gently places Hyungwon's lifeless body down too, and then he sat down, making Hyungwon rest his head on his thighs. The rest finally sat down on the cold floor as well.

     "It's getting dark, and we've stopped time for too long. Time will start again at 12 midnight. The nonpossessed humans will wake up and realize what's happening, and everyone will be in a state of panic," Dongmin explained.

     "But what should we do? It looks like they're not going to stop unless they find these two." Suho stated as he gestured his hand towards Pain and Panic.

     "Then why not just let them take them so we can get this over with. All of us are powerful and are capable of defeating everyone, but we obviously can't perform a mass murder, that's just fucked up. Giving them to those lords would be our only solution," Woohyun says, making Grim look at him angrily, "Excuse me but can you repeat what you just stupidly said?"

     Sunggyu quickly butts in so the two wouldn't start fighting.

     "Okay, I know it looks like we're running out of options here but we gotta think of a better way. We can't kill everyone who's possessed, and we obviously can't let them have Pain and Panic. Who knows what they'll do once they have them," Sunggyu stated.

     "They might even be working for the King," Jackson suddenly stated, making their eyes widen from the sudden realization.

     "That's not entirely impossible," Kharon stated, making everyone feel pressured even more.

     "So if ever they get Pain or Panic, it's possible that they'll hand them to the King. And ones the King has them all...well...we're all doomed, Heaven, Earth, and Hell." Taeil explained.

     "So what should we do? Just wait this off?" Mark asked.

     "We can't. We need to find a solution before time starts moving again," Dongmin stated.

     "I can't kill all of those lords alone. If we want this to end we need Nightmare." Seunghyun stated, startling Wonho upon hearing his brother's name.

     "Nightmare? Of course...Nightmare is the only one who can finish this. He's the Lord Commander of the Lords. He keeps them all...well, let's just say...behave, when we were still in hell." Wonho revealed, shocking everyone.

     "No way, he's that powerful?" Taeil asked in disbelief.

     "Did you know about this?" Hyunseung asked as he looked at the guardians.

     "Obviously I knew since I'm one of the elders," Grim stated.

Note: Elders - The First Demons in Hell

     Then Kharon answered, "I've been in three different lives now so basically I'm not one of the elders. Kharon the First was one of them. Though I do know about Pandora's Seven Evil Emotions. They're basically as old as hell itself, which means they're older than the Seven Deadly sins."

     "Let's just say because of the Seven Evil Emotions, the Seven Deadly Sins were created." Dongmin further explained, shocking everyone, especially the Demons.

     "So, moving on. What can you say about this guy named Nightmare?" Taeil asked as he looked back at Wonho.

     "Well, he's mostly feared by the lords. Their greatest weakness is their names, and Nightmare knows all of it. That's why with one command he can kill all of them." Wonho explained further.

     "But, the King now has him. Right?" Suho asked, then Wonho sadly nodded his head.

     "Then there's no way we could get him. The King might have absorbed him already." Sunggyu stated.

     "No, he hasn't. The King can't absorb any of them unless he completes all seven. That's why he's causing all this. He needs Pain and Panic to be able to absorb them, and he's wasting time the longer these two aren't with them," Grim explained, making him realize it himself.

     "Then we have a chance!" Mark says excitedly. Then Seunghyun looked at everyone and said, "The only thing we have to do is..."

     "Get to hell." Everyone said in unison.

     "But it's only Friday. The gate only opens at the end of Sunday." Jackson explained.

     "Well, the lords got out. There's a possibility that they have something that they used to get out of hell. We might be able to use it to get inside," Kharon stated.

     "Wait..." Taeil suddenly said. When everyone was now looking at him, he continued, "If Nightmare was the Lord Commander of the lords, but he was captured by the King, then who's commanding them now?"

     Everyone quickly realized what Taeil was pointing out, so they looked back at Wonho, hoping he might know who it was.

     "I don't know exactly, but Nightmare had a right-hand man. His name is...well...he doesn't have a name. He's faceless and apparently, we call him nameless. If Nightmare is gone I'm pretty sure he's the one who's in charge of the lords now." Wonho stated.

     "Then all we have to do is bargain with this nameless guy so we could enter hell," Suho stated.

     Sunggyu looked at him with his right eyebrow raised and asked, "And how do you suggest we do that? Just walk towards him and ask him to bring us to hell?"

     "Well, I don't know!"

     While everyone was thinking of a way to bargain with the demon, Wonho started thinking of a plan on his own. He looked at everyone, thinking of who might be useful, but then he stopped at a particular son. The thought of the plan quickly made him smirk.

     "Hey, why not we play a game." Wonho suddenly says, making everyone stop talking.

     Junhyung looked at him with disbelief and said, "Are you fucking kidding me? We're playing now when everything's in great chaos?!"

     "Don't worry... it's just hide and seek." Wonho stated, making everyone look at him weirdly even more.

     "We don't have time for games Pain," Grim stated, trying to stop his kid with the nonsense. But Wonho wasn't brushing the thought away, "We hide...and the lords seek."

     "What do you mean?" Taeil asked, suddenly interested in what Wonho was blabbering about.

     Wonho looked at the Demon's most powerful son and said, "Hey big guy...you have Glamouring right?"

MEANWHILE...

     Sungjae opened his eyes, his wound automatically throbbing the moment he sat back down.

     "Hey! Don't move too much!" he heard someone say.

     Sungjae quickly looked around his surrounding, shocked to hear someone actually talk to him. He was inside a cave. "How on earth did I get here?" Sungjae thought to himself when suddenly someone approached him, his hand on fire, giving Sungjae a glimpse of who the person was.

     "Minhyuk!" Sungjae shouted, finally remembering that he was with Minhyuk the whole time.

     "You're awake!" Sungjae added, but his wound quickly ached again.

     "I told you to don't move too much," Minhyuk stated as he went closer to Sungjae. He sat down beside him and lit the bonfire that he actually made. Lighting up the whole place.

     "I woke up and found us both on the ground, and you were bleeding a lot. I'm glad I read a book about herbal healing and found some plants that kinda helped stop your bleeding," Minhyuk explained. Then Sungjae felt the plants Minhyuk was referring to. It was gently placed above his wound.

     "Thank you. But I'm much happier that you're okay." Sungjae stated, genuinely glad that Minhyuk was finally awake, and to top it all off, unharmed.

    "Shouldn't I be the one saying thank you?" Minhyuk suddenly asked, making Sungjae look at him confusingly.

     "What do you mean?" Sungjae asked back.

     Minhyuk chuckled and answered, "You won't believe it but...I kinda heard everything while I was unconscious. About the whole city being possessed by lords, how you were desperately trying to wake me up, and...how you protected me...thank you."

     Sungjae didn't know why but he suddenly felt embarrassed.

     "D-Don't mention it. I'm pretty sure you might have done the same for any of my brothers." Sungjae stated.

     Minhyuk nodded his head and said, "Maybe...who knows...but I'm sorry I didn't wake up when you needed me the most. I'm seriously useless. I should have helped you, or I should be with my brothers, helping them with whatever's happening in the city. Instead, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere, and that's all thanks to me."

     "Hey, don't say that. I think we were brought here for a reason. Maybe we're supposed to...find something here?" Sungjae said, but it sounded like he was unsure about that himself too.

     "Find something? Like what? A way to get out of here?" Minhyuk asked with his right eyebrow raised.

     Sungjae sighed and said, "No, I mean, something useful. Maybe something we can use to help the others back in Seoul."

     "Well, maybe you're right. But I think it's best if we go check on your wound first before anything else." Minhyuk stated as he was about to hold the end of Sungjae's shirt so he could lift it.

     Sungjae quickly stopped him and started protesting, "What are you doing with my shirt?!"

     "Look...first of all, this is my shirt you're wearing," Minhyuk suddenly revealed, making Sungjae remember that he just grabbed this shirt from Minhyuk & Sunggyu's cabinet. The thought of him wearing Minhyuk's shirt suddenly made him blush.

     "And I'm just going to check if your wound is healed. Don't think of anything weird about it," Minhyuk stated. Sungjae took a deep breath and finally nodded his head, signaling Minhyuk that he was allowed to lift his shirt up now. So Minhyuk did. He lifted Sungjae's shirt and slowly removed the leaves he placed before. He smiled when he saw that the wound was finally closed, "Looks like it magically closed itself. You should be thankful for my herbal techniques."

     Sungjae was about to say that he placed Holy Water on them, and he was pretty sure that, that was the reason why it healed quickly. But Minhyuk looked genuinely happy so Sungjae decided to keep quiet about it.

     "Thank you," Sungjae said instead, making Minhyuk smile from ear to ear.

     "Well, it looked like you're ready to explore this place. Don't you think it's best we start looking for whatever it is that we're supposed to look for?" Minhyuk asked as he puts Sungjae's shirt down.

     He stood up, and then he gave his hand to Sungjae. Sungjae stared at it for a couple of seconds before grabbing it, letting Minhyuk slowly pull him up.

     "Thanks," Sungjae says as he finally stood up and pulled his hand from Minhyuk's.

     "So, where should we start looking?" Minhyuk asked.

     Sungjae looked at his surroundings, then he pointed at the far end of the cave, "Should we go deeper inside this thing? Who knows, we might find something unexpected." Sungjae suggested. But he didn't wait for Minhyuk to answer because he already started going further inside the cave.

     "Well I hope there are no creepy monsters inside that thing," Minhyuk stated as he quickly followed Sungjae inside the dark unknown cave.

BACK AT SEOUL CITY

     "Are you a fucking idiot?! This isn't the time for us to play games right now." Sunggyu said as he angrily looked at Wonho. Wonho looked at him and told him, "Well I don't see you making other plans. You want this to end then this is the only way. So do you want to play or not?"

     "This is dangerous. Things might fail. I'm not fucking risking another-"

     "Let's just do it." Jackson suddenly stated, shocking everyone since he was the last person the Arcs and even to Demons thought would agree with the stupid plan, AKA Wonho's way of playing their second game.

    "But-" Jackson quickly cuts their leader off and said, "We don't have much choice. We can't let the citizens suffer much longer. We're the only ones they have left. They might not know it yet, but we're their only hope."

     Everyone looked at Jackson with shock.

     "Babe, we can think of another way, not this..." Mark tried to say as he looked at his boyfriend. But Jackson tried to avoid Mark's eyes and said instead, "Come on, we don't have much time."

     Sunggyu looked at Jackson worriedly, but deep down he knew he was right. If they wanted this to end, Wonho's plan was the only way they could do it.

     "I hate to say this Sunggyu but...the big guys right. As crazy as Wonho sounds, his plan is the only plan we have that might actually work," Junhyung insisted, trying to convince Sunggyu too.

     Finally, Sunggyu looked at their guardian. Sunggyu was going to make a decision, but whatever his guardian would say, that's what he'd decide on. That's how much he trusted this old phoenix.

     "It's dangerous...I know...and we're risking everything. And if they really do get Pain & Panic then it's over for all of us. But Jackson, Junhyung, and even Pain are right. This is our only way to stop this chaos." Kharon stated, finally making Sunggyu decide on what to do.

     He took a deep breath and looked at everyone, "Fine."

     "That took you long enough." Dongmin stated, then he looked at Seung and Jackson and said, "Well what are you guys waiting for. Open the garage door."

     The two nodded and quickly opened the door, lifting it up so everyone could go out. Then, they let go of the door and let it fall behind them.

     "It's getting dark." Grim pointed out as everyone lifted their heads to look at the sky.

     "So, what now?" Sunggyu asked as he looked at Wonho, who was carrying Hyungwon on his back.

     "We try to look for Nameless. He's the main key to our plan. If we get close to him then we'd have a better chance of getting inside hell." Wonho explained.

     "Alright then. But where on earth would he be?" Jihoon asked.

     Dongmin looked at Jihoon like he wanted to slap him. But he insisted not to as he said, "Jihoon, you have the power to find people and places through mirrors. If you don't want to do it then I'll do it myself."

     Jihoon embarrassingly scratched the back of his head and said, "Oops, I totally forgot." So he quickly ran towards a car and checked the side mirror. He stared at it for a couple of seconds, then an image started appearing.

     "Oh...so this is the guy you call nameless," Jihoon said as he continued to look at the image. Taeil got jealous and did it too, but he did it on the other side of the car's mirror.

     "Faceless you say. You mean covered in cloth. He's literally just hiding his face." Taeil stated as he too was looking at the same image Jihoon was looking at, but at a different mirror.

     "Well, if you can't see their faces then you wouldn't be able to know their names, and if you can't know their names then it will be impossible for you to exorcist him if he possesses someone," Kharon explained.

    As Jihoon and Taeil continued to look at the image, Nameless suddenly lifted his head. Even though they couldn't see his eyes, it felt like he was staring directly at them, startling the two.

     "Excuse me but...where the fuck is he?! We're wasting time!" Junhyung shouted, startling the two again.

     "He's at a rooftop," Jihoon stated.

     "At a telephone company just a few blocks away from here." Taeil continued.

     "Well then, it's time for us to split up," Kharon stated as he looked at everyone.

     Wonho gave Hyungwon to Woohyun and said, "Please...take care of him."

     "Don't worry, I will," Woohyun says with a reassuring smile. Even though he somehow hated those two, he was willing to risk everything to help the people, which also means helping them.

     Sunggyu looked at Jackson and told him, "If you weren't the most powerful demon then I'd do it instead of you. But apparently, you have more chances of surviving rather than me so it looks like I'll have to let you go."

     Jackson patted Sunggyu's back and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll come back. I'll never leave you...any of you."

     "Well, you better. Because if you don't I'll kill you myself." Hyunseung says with a grin. He was nervous, but he trusted his brother.

     "It's better to return in pieces than to never return at all," Suho then stated, making everyone look at him confusingly. But no one questioned him and just ignored his "Words of Wisdom" to avoid drama.

     "How am I in love with such a complicated man?" Lay thought to himself as he too looked at Suho confusingly.

     "You just arrived and you're leaving again," Junhyung said as he looked at Seunghyun who was also getting ready to leave. Seunghyun suddenly pinched Junhyung's cheeks and said back, "Don't worry, I'll return as soon as I can. Don't want to leave our cute leader for too long."

     Everyone chuckled, but Hyunseung quickly pushed Seunghyun away and said, "Hands off."

     "Oh, I'm sorry lover boy. I totally forgot." Seunhyung jokingly tells him.

     Finally, Jackson looked at Wonho and Seung and said, "Let's go before it gets dark."

     Wonho and Seunghyun nodded in agreement.

     "You three...may the spirit of God be with you and your spirit." – Jang Dong Min.

     "May the spirit of the King of Hell be with you and your spirit." – Kharon & Grim

     The three guardians said in unison, making everyone laugh and finally loosen up.

     "Well...Kick some ass big guy." Taeil stated as he waved goodbye to his best friend.

     Finally, Wonho, Seung, and Jackson started walking away, but Jackson quickly stopped and ran back to where the others were. He grabbed Mark's arm and pulled him towards him. Then he gave him the most passionate kiss he could give.

     "I love you," Jackson says as they parted from the kiss. Mark was about to cry, but he blinked the tears away.

     "Return to me," Mark says.

     Jackson gently touched Mark's cheeks and answered, "I always do." Then he kissed his forehead for the last time before running back to where Seung and Wonho were.

     "Seriously, love is in the air when we're with the two of you," Seunghyun says as he, Wonho, and Jackson, finally left the scene to look for the lords' new commander.

*****

     "This is going nowhere," Minhyuk stated as he and Sungjae continued to walk further inside the cave. It was dark, but thanks to Minhyuk's ability to produce fire, he was able to light the way for both of them.

     "Well, it's better to be here than to be out there with all those wild animals," Sungjae stated.

     "At least we know it's wild animals. In here...well we don't have a clue about what's in here." Minhyuk pointed out.

     "Fine, you have a point. But it's too late to go back now. And besides, I kinda see a light right at the end," Sungjae suddenly pointed out, making Minhyuk squint his eyes, "Hey, you're right. I think that's the end of the tunnel."

     "See, it was worth it after all," Sungjae stated with a proud smile.

     "Then there's no time to waste, let's go!" Minhyuk excitedly shouted as he grabbed Sungjae's arm with his other hand (That didn't have fire), and then they both ran towards the light.

     "W-wait a second Minhyuk!" Sungjae shouted, making Minhyuk realize Sungjae still had a wound that was currently still healing.

     "Oh shit!" Minhyuk shouted as they stopped running. He quickly lets go of Sungjae's hand and turned around. He then kneeled down and gently touched Sungjae's stomach.

     "I totally forgot! Is it okay? Does it hurt?" Minhyuk quickly asked. Sungjae was about to answer but he suddenly blushed. Minhyuk looked like a father who was checking on the baby that was inside Sungjae. The thought made Sungjae blush even more.

     "L-Let go...I'm fine," Sungjae said as he pushed Minhyuk away. Minhyuk finally stood up and looked at Sungjae. Then he smiled widely and said, "I'm glad. I thought I hurt you."

     Sungjae didn't know what to say as he stared at Minhyuk's face. But before anything could happen, he quickly shakes his head and says, "I told you, I'm fine."

     "That's good. Well, I think we arrived at the end anyways." Minhyuk stated as he slowly turned around, then he and Sungjae walked closer to the said light. The two were disappointed to see that the light was actually just a torch. But they were more surprised to see that in the middle was an enormous door engraved with Latin words.

     "I-Is that...a freakin' door? Inside a cave?" Minhyuk asked confusingly.

     "What's going on...this is crazy," Sungjae said as he closely went to the door to touch it.

     "This is enormous. What could these words mean?" he added.

     Minhyuk stood beside Sungjae and answered him, "I know how to read Latin. I studied it before. But, let me warn you, I'm very bad at it."

      Sungjae looked at Minhyuk impressively. Even if Minhyuk said he's bad at it, it's still very impressive.

     "Let's see..." Minhyuk stated as he slowly, but surely, read the words.

     "O-Opa...Opha...num? Ophanum?" Minhyuk says confusingly, but the moment Sungjae heard it, his eyes widened from shock.

     "Can you say that again." Sungjae quickly commanded.

     "Ophanum," Minhyuk repeated.

     "No. That's not Ophanum..." Sungjae suddenly says, making Minhyuk look at him confusingly, "So what? You actually know how to read Latin too?"

     "No idiot...Ophanum isn't a word. But Ophanim is." Sungjae stated, confusing Minhyuk even more.

     "Ophanim?" Then Minhyuk looked back at the words, reading it again, "Oh! Yeah, I totally messed it up. It is Ophanim. Good job Sungjae! But...what does Ophanim mean? Is it some kind of spell?"

     Sungjae shook his head and said, "No, Ophanim is a place."

     "A place?"

     Sungjae looked back at the words that were engraved on the door and explained further, "A place that Archangel Phanuel rules...also known as the place MY father rules."

     "What?!" Minhyuk shouted shockingly.

     "They teleported us to Ophanim. This isn't earth, or hell, nor heaven. It's the one in between all of them." Sungjae explained.

     "Then if that's the case, we do have a purpose here." Minhyuk excitedly stated.

     "And whatever we're supposed to find...it's through this door," Sungjae added.

     "But how are we gonna get this big thing open?" Minhyuk asked.

     Sungjae was about to answer, but a loud growl was heard just a few inches behind them.

*****

"I think I see him. Well, I don't exactly see HIM, but I see black smoke coming out of that building, so that's probably him," Seung quietly stated as he, Wonho, and Jackson, were hiding behind a car.

     "Then it's game time." Wonho said with a smirk, then he looked at the two of them and said, "The last one to get caught wins."

     Wonho started running without even waiting for Seunghyun and Jackson's answer.

     "That fucking idiot! He might get caught!" Seung angrily shouted as he quickly followed Wonho.

     Jackson only sighed and followed the two. Thankfully, they arrived at the building unharmed. They quickly checked the area, and then they locked the door so no one could get inside.

     "Nameless is on the rooftop like what Lee Taeil said, but since time stopped...the elevator won't move." Wonho pointed out, making the two sigh on the sudden realization.

     "We're going to use the stairs all the way to the rooftop," Seunghyun explained, finally letting it sink in.

     "Then there's no time to waste," Jackson stated as he started running up the stairs. Wonho and Seunhyung looked at each other, then both shrugged and followed Jackson. 5th floor, 10th floor, 15th floor...

     Those three didn't stop.

     Well...

     Except for one who thought he was seriously going to die.

     "Let's take a break," Seunghyun stated, making them stop at the 17th floor. Seunghyun's been using his powers with the lords ever since the chaos started so he's a lot more exhausted compared to these two.

     "We should take a rest for a couple of minutes," Wonho stated while panting heavily. He opened one of the doors, but he regretted it the moment he saw the inside of the room.

     "Holy shit," Seunghyun stated as he saw dozens of possessed humans inside the room, all looking at them with empty eyes.

     "Good job Wonho." Jackson sarcastically stated.

     "A-Angel! It's an Angel!" One of the possessed stated as soon as they looked at Seunghyun.

     "The other one is Prince Envy!" Another possessed stated. Some even looked at him with fear. It was obvious they knew that Jackson was one of the most powerful Demons in Hell.

     Finally, their eyes went to Wonho, making Wonho, Jackson, and Seunghyun gulp. Everyone looked at Wonho confusingly; they didn't know what Wonho was, they couldn't sense it. But then they started realizing it. He was with a powerful Angel and even a powerful Demon, and they could sense if he was like one of them. There was only one reason behind it.

     "They know...run," Seunghyun instructed, but it was so weak no one moved for a second.

     "I said they know...idiots...RUN!" Seunghyun finally shouted, startling the two and making them automatically run upstairs. The possessed humans started running too, all laughing and excited to get the emotion that they've been looking for.

     "Get him. Get him. Get him." The possessed repeatedly said as they chased after the three.

     Seunghyun was trying to kill as many lords as he can, but the amount was increasing, like the possessed inside the building signaled the others to come there too.

     "J-Jackson! Do something!" Seung shouted.

     Jackson took a deep breath, and the moment he blinked, the possessed that were chasing after them started falling and sliding down the stairs like there was an imaginary thing that was blocking them from going upstairs.

     "Whatever you're doing, it's fucking working!" Wonho shouted back.

     Well, even though it did work, dozens of them were still able to chase after them.

     "Aren't you going to at least help us?! Aren't you Pain?!" Seunghyun shouted as he looked at Wonho. Wonho continued to run as he answered back, "I'd love to but I'd be killing the humans, not the lords. If you give me permission I'd gladly kill all of these guys with one command!"

     "Hell no!" Seunghyun shouted.

     Eventually, they arrived at the rooftop. Seunghyun quickly grabbed the door and opened it, then the three quickly then went inside and locked the door. Just moments after, the possessed arrived and started pushing the steel door open.

     Jackson looked at Wonho, and then he held his shoulder.

     "We don't have much time," Jackson stated.

     "It's dark already," Wonho added as he looked up at the sky.

     "That's not going to hold, we need to look for that nameless guy," Seunghyun stated as he looked back at Jackson and Wonho.

     "Something's wrong..." Wonho stated, then he continued, "He's not here."

     "What the hell, he should be here. He can't just escape." Jackson stated.

     "The door is going to open and we'll be surrounded." Seunghyun pointed out. He continued to look around, but it was still too dark, "Jackson...can you light us some fire."

     Jackson nodded his head and lit his hands on fire. To their surprise, Nameless was actually already right in front of them all along.

     Seunghyun even gulped because of how he looked.

     He was covered in white cloth and a long black coat. He was covered in blood too and was so tall and thin like he was made of bones. Even though his face was covered with cloth, they knew he was smirking underneath that thing.

      Nameless suddenly snapped his fingers, stopping the possessed humans from pushing the door of the rooftop.

     "What a pleasant surprise...Pain...it's been a while." Nameless stated, his voice sounding like thousands of people were saying it at the same time. Wonho gulped and moved back, "Not a pleasant reunion though."

     "So it seems...it's been so long that I didn't even remember your face." He stated.

      "We came here to bargain," Seung suddenly stated, making the nameless quickly turn his head to look at him.

     Seunghyun gulped again as he continued, "We give you Panic...but you let the three of us inside hell."

     "You are not in the position to bargain angel..." the nameless slowly stated, then he looked at Jackson and said, "But I might listen to a request from a prince."

      Jackson didn't look afraid like he's seen this demon a million times so his presence didn't scare him at all. He looked back bravely and said, "Bring us to hell."

     Nameless doesn't say anything for a few seconds, but then he started laughing.

      "As expected from a royal blood. All cunning and dictatorial...all of you, even your fathers. A trait that you all possessed from the King." Nameless stated.

     He held Jackson's chin with his skeleton-like fingers and continued, "I would love to take you my prince...but for all I know, you are a betrayer, and I don't want the King to see me escorting a Betrayer." Then he looked at Wonho and continued, "And I only listen to one Royal Blood...and that is the King himself."

      He then lets go of Jackson and quickly strangled Wonho.

     "Wonho!" Seung and Jackson shouted with shock. Then they realized Wonho's body was slowly fading.

     "He's bringing him to hell, that's how they do it. He has the power to go back and forth in hell." Seung finally realized.

     "We'll give you Panic too, just stop!" Jackson suddenly shouted, but Nameless only laughed, "Don't worry, I'll be back to take little Panic soon."

     "L-Looks like...it's...game o-over...for me..." Wonho managed to say.

     "No...N-No...this can't be happening," Seunghyun says, now panicking. Then, like something triggered him, he quickly summoned his weapon and was about to stop Nameless, but the two were gone before he could even strike.

      "Fuck!" Seunghyun shouted in defeat.

     He quickly turned his head and angrily looked at Jackson, "Why didn't you help..." But then he stopped when he saw Wonho instead. His eyes widened from shock.

      "Looks like Jackson's illusion won't work if he's not here," Wonho stated as he realized that he went back to normal.

     "W-What the...you did it? You switched?! When did that ha...I don't even fucking care! We did it!" Seunghyun shouted happily, making Wonho laugh in victory.

     "Your plan actually worked," Seunghyun added as he looked at Wonho with disbelief.

     "I'm glad he has glamouring. He was able to exactly copy me that it even fooled Nameless. But the moment he goes to hell, and when the king sees him, they'll automatically find out it's not really me." Wonho stated.

      "Well it's up to Jackson now I guess. All we gotta do is wait for him to return. Hopefully, he returns with a Nightmare." Seunghyun stated.

     Then Wonho looked around and said, "And it looks like the lords are gone too."

     Seunghyun looked up at the sky and said, "Thank God."

      Wonho then looked at the spot where Nameless and Jackson were standing just a few seconds ago, then he said, "Well, good luck Prince Wang Jackson. Hopefully this time, the King of Hell won't be with you and your spirit."
