"PANIC'S AWAKE!" WOOHYUN ANNOUNCED when he ran inside the room where Seunghyun, Junhyung, and Wonho were. The moment Wonho heard the news, he quickly looked back at Woohyun and said, "Where is he?" 

     "Follow me," Woohyun answered instead as he went out, Wonho right behind him.

     They arrived at Woohyun's room. Hyungwon was sitting down on the bed, so Wonho quickly ran to him and gave him a tight hug.

     "Well then, I'll be downstairs if you need me," Woohyun stated as he left the room so he could give the two some privacy.

     "Thank goodness you're finally awake," Wonho stated, still hugging Hyungwon. Hyungwon, who was confused about what was going on, gently pushed Wonho away and asked, "What happened?"

     Wonho looked at Hyungwon and sighed, "Where do I even start?"

MEANWHILE...

     "Wait a second...is that...Jackson?" Minhyuk asked with shock. But before Sungjae could even say anything, Hope ran towards the two men with tears pouring down his eyes.

     Jackson looked at Nightmare; surprised that he was suddenly crying blood. Then like Hope, Nightmare started running. In the middle of the street, Nightmare grabbed Hope and gave him the tightest hug he could ever give him.

     "It's you...you're here." Nightmare stated, crying and hugging Hope at the same time.

      Hope, who was also crying, answered, "I can't believe it. It's been so long since I've last seen you."

     Nightmare broke from the hug and looked at Hope, examining his face, making sure this was the person he's been waiting for almost a hundred years.

     "It really is you. You're right in front of me. Seeing you now makes me feel like I just woke up from a terrible nightmare." Nightmare ironically stated.

     Hope wiped the tears from Nightmare's cheeks and said, "Well in my case, I've always prayed that one day I'd end up having a nightmare. Because maybe through that, I might be able to see you again."

     Nightmare smiled upon hearing what Hope had to say. He felt so happy that he grabbed Hope for an even tighter hug. But as Minhyuk, Sungjae, and Jackson finally arrived, the two broke apart.

     "What are you doing here?" Minhyuk asked as he looked at Jackson.

     "Shouldn't you be with the others?" Sungjae added.

      Jackson looked at the two, confused about why they were out here instead since he knew they were supposed to be at the Holy Home too, but he doesn't ask about it anymore since, by the looks of it, they went through a lot.

     "I kinda went to visit hell and...took him," Jackson answered while pointing at Nightmare who was holding Hope's hand tightly like Hope was going to vanish if he lets go of him.

     Minhyuk's eyes widened as he looked back at Nightmare, "Wait a second. Don't tell me he's...he's Nightmare?! You got him?!"

     Jackson nodded his head, then he looked at Hope with a questionable look, "And who's that?"

     "That's Hope." Sungjae and Minhyuk answered in unison, making Jackson widen his eyes from shock.

     "Hope? You have Hope too?" Jackson asked in disbelief.

     Hope lets go of Nightmare's hand and bows in front of Jackson, "It's nice to meet you...Prince Wang of Envy."

    Jackson looked at Hope, still with a shocked expression, "W-We did it...we have both of them."

      Minhyuk and Sungjae looked at each other and smiled. Their hard work and sacrifices paid off after all.

      "Then where are the others? We need to go to them before-" Minhyuk was suddenly cut off when they suddenly heard an explosion. Then people started screaming. Nightmare quickly pushed Jackson and the others off the streets too because the cars started moving again. If it wasn't for Nightmare they could have been run over by a car.

     "Thanks...Nightmare." Minhyuk stated as he looked at Nightmare.

      Nightmare looked back at the others and said, "No problem...Prince of Glutton and Son of Phanuel."

     Sungjae and Minhyuk were shocked that Nightmare knew them, but they didn't say anything anymore. This wasn't the time for interrogations.

     "What happened anyway?" Nightmare asked.

     "Kharon and the Jihoon's power expired. Time started again." Sungjae stated, now slowly panicking.

     "We need to hurry." This time, it was Hope who said it.

    "Help me!" a woman suddenly shouted as she ran towards Jackson and the others.

     "Please calm down ma'am," Sungjae stated as he held onto the girl, but the woman started vomiting blood the moment Sungjae touched her.

     "Ma'am...are you-" Nightmare quickly pulled Sungjae away and said, "Don't touch her, she's being possessed. We need to go."

     Sungjae looked around. His expression quickly changed into a sad expression when he saw people running and panicking all over the place. Some were even covered in blood.

     "We need to help them. We need to do something." Sungjae begged as he looked at the four.

     "Sungjae, we can't help them here." Minhyuk tried to say. When Hope noticed Sungjae's worry, he quickly held his shoulder and said, "We'll help them my dear angel, but we can't help them without your brothers."

     Sungjae finally calmed down and nodded his head.

     "That's why we should go," Jackson quickly added.

     "There!" Minhyuk shouted as he saw an open car parked on the side. "We should all get inside. It will be dangerous for us to walk around now, especially when we have Hope and Nightmare with us."   

     "He's right. We'll have to use the main road if we want to arrive at the Holy Home faster. But it would be too dangerous so we should drive through the longest route instead to avoid hordes of people." Sungjae explained, and everyone nodded in agreement.

     "Then let's go," Jackson stated as he and the rest went inside the car.

     And yes, Jackson knew how to drive.

     Jackson was at the driver's seat, Minhyuk at the passenger's seat, while Nightmare, Hope, and Sungjae were at the back.

     "People are panicking over the sudden mass possession that has occurred in Seoul and apparently in Gangnam as well. The local police are trying to keep the people at bay but even they are being affected by this sudden event. Now people are starting to wonder, is this is the end for all of us? Or is it..."

      Jackson quickly turned the radio off since he noticed everyone was starting to feel the panic because of it.

     "Chaos...everything's in chaos," Sungjae stated as he continued to look out of the window. He felt responsible for what was happening even though it was obviously not his fault. But Sungjae just couldn't help but feel like he needs to protect the people, especially when he's an angel.

      Everyone was running around, being chased by possessed humans. Some were wounded, and some were lying on the floor, unconscious. Sungjae and the others weren't even sure if those people were still alive. 

     There were buildings that were on fire too. It felt like an apocalypse.

     "I thought you were with the King." Hope suddenly stated while looking at Nightmare. Minhyuk, Sungjae, and Jackson silently listening to the two's conversation.

     "I was, but Nameless took me. But you, where did they take you? Did they hurt you?" Nightmare asked.

    "Hurt me? Nightmare, I was taken by angels, so they obviously didn't hurt me. I was well kept so you don't have to worry." Hope answered as he leaned his head on Nightmare's shoulder, then Nightmare gently kissed his head and said, "I missed you."

     Sungjae, who was sitting beside the two lovebirds, started feeling uncomfortable. Then his eyes unknowingly wondered at the rearview mirror, and to his surprise, Minhyuk was staring back at him. Sungjae quickly looked away as he felt his whole face turn red.

     "We're...here?" Jackson told them, but it was more of a question than a statement. Sungjae looked out the window and saw the damage that the ghouls and the lords have done to the Holy Home.

     Again, he felt bad about it.

     "This was all my-" Before Sungjae could even finish, Minhyuk looked at him and angrily said, "Don't you fucking dare blame yourself again or I will kill you."

     Jackson, Hope, and even Nightmare looked at Minhyuk with shock. Sungjae even flinched. When everything felt awkward, Jackson quickly said, "I'll go out first."

     Everyone inside the Holy Home heard the car's arrival. Sunggyu, who heard it from upstairs, quickly ran down with Hyunseung. Junhyung, Kharon, Park Dongmin, and the rest followed and went outside.

     The moment Jackson went out of the car, Sunggyu fell on his knees on the sudden relief that he felt. Seunghyun and the others couldn't even help but smile on the demons' successful return.

     "Jackson!" Mark shouted as he pushed everyone in front of him so he could run to where his lover was. Jackson opened his arms to catch Mark. Then he lifted him up and passionately kissed him.

     "Welcome back," Mark stated as he looked at Jackson with a bright smile.

     "Told you I'll be back," Jackson told him with a smile too. Then he lets go of Mark and goes to his brothers.

     "Good to see you in one piece big guy," Taeil stated as he quickly hugged his best friend. Afterward, Suho and Hyunseung hugged next. When they parted from the hug, Jackson went down on his knees so he could level Sunggyu who was still kneeling on the floor.

     Sunggyu lifted his head and looked at Jackson, tears filled in his eyes.

     "What the fuck are you crying for? Aren't you our leader? You should be the one who should be looking cool and calm here." Jackson joked before grabbing Sunggyu for a hug. 

     "Welcome back." Sunggyu simply says.

     When the two finally stood up, Kharon looked at him and said, "Just by looking at your bruises, it's obvious that you had a tough time. So...how did it go?"

     Jackson looked back at everyone and smirked."Finished the game with ease. And apparently, I stumbled upon a bonus."

     Minhyuk and Sungjae finally went out of the car, the two 'emotions' right behind them. Everyone was shocked and didn't move for a couple of seconds as Sungjae and the others approached them.

     Finally, Junhyung took a deep breath and ran towards Sungjae, "You fucking idiot! I thought you died!"

     Sungjae laughed it off as the rest of the Arcs ran to him to give him a hug too. The Demons went to Minhyuk and welcomed him back as well.

     "You faint one more time and I'll permanently make you sleep," Hyunseung stated as he continued to hug his best friend.

     "You have no idea what I've been through guys," Minhyuk stated with an excited smile. He couldn't wait to tell his brothers about his journey.

     "Well, we can't wait to hear about it you idiotic genius," Suho stated while messing up Minhyuk's hair.

     "Thank god you're alive," Sunggyu stated as he looked at Minhyuk with a smile.

     While they were hugging each other, Sungjae suddenly started crying when he saw the Home again, "I-I'm sorry...I couldn't protect the home...I couldn't..." Hyunseung, who was standing beside his brothers, went to Sungjae and smacked Sungjae's head, making him stop crying.

     When Sungjae looked at Hyunseung angrily, he was surprised that Hyunseung was crying too, but this time, his tears were water, "You kept your promise Sungjae. You protected our brother."

    Minhyuk, who was standing beside Hyunseung, looked at Sungjae as well and said, "I know I've said it before but...thank you."

     "Thank you!" the rest of the Demons said in unison, now bowing in front of the Phanuel's son.

      Sunggyu, the Demon's leader, walked in front of Sungjae and held his shoulder tightly, "Thank you for protecting my brother...Yook Sungjae."

     Sungjae wiped his tears and finally smiled, the worry in his chest quickly vanished as the Arcs and the Demons continued to cheer him on.

     "You did great kid," Dongmin stated as he patted Sungjae's head. While everyone was hugging each other, Minhyuk's eyes widened as he saw someone he hasn't seen for quite a long time now, "Choi Seunghyun?!"

     Seunghyun looked back at Minhyuk and smiled, "Hey Minhyuk, you look good as always. Still working out?"

     "He just arrived earlier," Lay added. Then, Grim, who's been silently standing beside Wonho and Hyungwon, looked at the brothers and said, "So, whose the guys behind you?"

     Jackson, Sungjae, and Minhyuk, who completely forgot about the two, quickly pulled Nightmare and Hope forward so everyone could see them.

     "Well, we bring you...Hope and Nightmare." The three said in unison.

    "WHAT?!" everyone shouted. Wonho and Hyungwon looked at each other first, and then slowly, they walked towards Hope and Nightmare with a shocked expression.

     "N-Nightmare? Is that really you?" Wonho asked, even though he clearly knew that he was Nightmare. He was just scared to realize that maybe Jackson was just doing an illusion and he really wasn't his brother.

     "You still look shitty Pain." Nightmare said with a smirk, but tears were already falling from his eyes.

     Wonho, who pushed back the tears, quickly hugged Nightmare without saying a word. Hyungwon on the other hand was just staring at Hope. He couldn't believe their long lost brother, was right in front of him.

     "Isn't this the part where you say something to me Panic?" Hope asked with a small smile, but like Nightmare, he too was crying.

     "You're fucking alive. I can't believe it." Hyungwon said as he slowly lifted his hand to touch Hope's cheeks gently.

     "You're as pure as the first day I saw you," Hyungwon added, tears now falling down his cheeks as well.

     "I missed you Panic." Hope stated as he grabbed Hyungwon and hugged him. Then the four of them started hugging each other.

    Sunggyu and Junhyung, the two leaders, couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

     "They did it." Sunggyu softly stated as he continued to look at the four.

     "They actually fucking did it," Junhyung added.

     Kharon looked at Minhyuk, Jackson, and Sungjae, "I don't know how you guys did it but...I'm proud of all of you."

     "We're proud of all of you." Dongmin corrected.

     The three nodded their heads and smiled. They didn't need the praise since it was something anyone of their brothers would have done too, but still, they were grateful that everyone acknowledged their hard work.

     "Anyways, I hate to break it to you guys but time started...if you haven't noticed," Minhyuk stated, making the four emotions break apart from the hug.

     "I'm sorry if we couldn't properly introduce ourselves to both of you but we need to hurry inside. We'll do this in front of the Holy mirror." Dongmin stated as everyone ran back inside, including the four emotions.

     Pain, Panic, and Nightmare started having headaches the moment they got inside, but Hope didn't feel anything since he was goodness himself. Everyone arrived in front of the mirror. Hope and Nightmare were in the middle while everyone was circling around them.

     "So...do they just...do it?" Suho asked as he looked at the two confusingly.

     "Nightmare will use his powers first, then Hope will quickly follow," Grim explained.

     "So you'll just kill all of them, right?" Taeil asked as he looked at Nightmare.

     Jackson, who knew that Nightmare didn't want to harm the lords, looked at him with worry. Nightmare looked back at Jackson and took a deep breath, "No, I'm not going to kill them."

     "What?!" everyone asked in shock.

     "Nightmare, you have to kill them if you want to help us end this," Seunghyun stated, but Nightmare only looked down. Hope, Pain, and Panic looked at their brother with pity. They knew exactly what Nightmare was feeling.

     "The lords...they are my children." Nightmare suddenly said while he continued to stare at the floor.

     "I will not kill those who have been loyal to me for over a hundred years just because of a selfish command by some angels and princes." Nightmare continued, finally looking up at everyone. But to his surprise, they didn't look mad at all. They actually looked like they...understood.

     "Hey, idiot..." Sunggyu called out. Nightmare looked at the Demon's leader as Sunggyu continued, "Did you seriously think we wouldn't understand that?"

     "We pretty much broke most of our commands too just so we could protect each other you know," Junhyung continued, and then he looked at Sunggyu and smiled.

     Sunggyu smiled back, making Junhyung relieved that Sunggyu went back to normal after the leader's sudden outburst earlier.

     "But what are you going to do then?" This time, it was Hyungwon who asked it.

     "If it's alright with you, I'm only going to forcefully send them back to hell and lock them up. I promise they will never harm you again," Nightmare stated.

     "But what about Nameless?" Seunghyun quickly asked.

     Jackson looked at Seunghyun and answered instead, "He won't be a problem. He doesn't have the ability to control the lords anymore. Well, most of them. But he won't be a threat to us, especially when Nightmare's here now."

     "Well, I'm not going to ask how you did that but...if you're going to lock them up in Hell again, doesn't that mean someone has to make sure they're...locked up?" Kharon asked.

     Nightmare doesn't answer, but his sad expression said it all. Hope, who knew exactly what Nightmare was planning, stated, "You're going back to hell aren't you?"

     "I have no choice." Nightmare stated as he looked at Hope, tears ready to pour out of his eyes any minute. Hope gulped and nodded his head, making Nightmare know he understood it.

     "Hope, you do know once you return time, you'll be back to Ophanim too right?" Dongmin suddenly asked, shocking everyone. Hope gave out a small smile as he looked at Nightmare, "We really can't be together, can't we?"

     Nightmare gulped and shakes his head, "Maybe not."

     "Fuck this." Hyunseung suddenly stated. When everyone looked back at him, he continued, "Can't we think of something else? These two...it's obvious that they fucking love each other. They just saw each other after...I don't know...a hundred years and...we're...separating them again." Hyunseung said with a sad expression. Junhyung even went to his lover and comforted him.

     Hope looked at Hyunseung with shock, he didn't know the Prince of Lust would have such thoughts towards them, "Well, there is something we call destiny." Hope stated. Then he looked back at Nightmare and continued, "We'll meet again. Maybe if given a chance...in a different life...we'll be together, this I'm sure of."

     Nightmare's tears finally poured out, but he doesn't say anything and just nods his head. They've been separated for a century. The man he loved was right in front of him. But even though he was supposed to be an evil emotion, Nightmare had Hope, and he knew that doing the right thing with Hope would make him have the courage to move forward, and he'll be sure that someday they'll have a great future together.

     "Before we begin, I think you should say your goodbyes," Kharon suggested as he looked at Hyungwon and Wonho.

     Pain and Panic quickly went to their two brothers and hugged them.

     "We'll come back for you, I'll make sure of it," Panic stated.

     "Then I'm counting on it," Nightmare stated as he patted Panic's head.

     Hope looked at the two as well and said, "Hey, stop with the games okay? I don't think the Princes will like it if you keep on stalling them."

     Pain and Panic quickly glanced on the Demons, then they looked back at Hope and said, "No way!"

     Hope laughed and held Pain and Panic's cheeks, "You've grown up well. Mother Pandora must be very proud."

     "And I'm definitely sure she's proud of you too Hope. After all, you're the only good thing that she still has." Pain stated. Hope wanted to cry again, but he knew it would only make things hard for all of them.

     "No goodbyes, okay?" Nightmare asked as he looked at his brothers.

     "No goodbyes." Everyone said in unison. The Arcs and the Demons looked at the four brothers with pain in their chests. They didn't know why but somehow looking at them made them teary.

     Finally, Pain and Panic moved to the side.

     "We're ready." Nightmare and Hope said in unison. Dongmin nodded, and in one command, the mirror started glowing.

     Nightmare looked at Jackson and said, "You are one powerful guy Prince Wang. No wonder the King of Hell is scared of you."

     Everyone looked at Jackson with shock, but Jackson only smiled on Nightmare's sudden comment.

     "Hope to see you again Angels and Demons," Hope said with a sweet smile.

    "But Nightmare...the King will take you once you return to hell, right?" Woohyun suddenly asked, making Nightmare and Hope look surprised because Woohyun looked genuinely worried for them. So Nightmare shook his head and answered, "I can handle myself. And my lords can protect me for the time being. So hurry it up and finish the King of hell so we could all have a happy ending, alright?"

     "You can count on that," Sunggyu said with a determined smile.

     "See you again kids." Grim stated as he looked at Hope and Nightmare. Then the two intertwined their fingers together.

     "Thank you!" the Arcs and the Demons all said in unison, and then they bowed, making the two smile.

     "See you soon." the two stated as their final words. Right after, their eyes turned purple. Hope started glowing, and Nightmare was covered in fire. The mirror was lighting up brightly as well, forcing everyone to close their eyes. Everyone felt a powerful wind that almost knocked them off. Then, there was only silence. 

     Seconds later, the brothers' heard the school bell, and student's started chattering. They quickly opened their eyes, surprised to see that they were back in HAU.

      They were standing in the middle of the hallway, and they looked fresh and clean like they didn't fight off possessed humans the whole day.

     "What date is this?" Sunggyu quickly asked.

    Junhyung looked at his phone and said, "This was the day that kid got possessed inside the classroom." (Note: If you don't remember, it was on SDS3 13: Unwanted Guests)

     "Hope sent us back to what happened this morning," Taeil added.

     "Is everything...okay now?" Minhyuk asked since he felt like he was just having another Déjà vu.

     "Well, for starters, Seunghyun's not here." Lay pointed out.

     "We should head back to our room first. If that student gets possessed again then we just redid everything." Sunggyu instructed, so he and the rest of the brothers went to their room.

     They entered the room and sat down. The professor arrived and took the attendance like normal, then he started with his discussion like what he did before. The Arcs and the Demons looked at the kid who got possessed. He was still wearing the same clothes too.

     "And...now," Taeil stated since he was sure that it was at this time that the student got possessed. But nothing happened.

      The Arcs and Demons sighed, then they looked at each other with victorious smiles.

     They did it. They actually did it. And it was all thanks to two emotions named Nightmare and Hope.

*****

It was already lunch break, but the brothers went to the dorms instead of the cafeteria to check on Pain and Panic. When they arrived, Sunggyu didn't even bother to knock. He just barged inside the room, the Arcs and Demons right behind him.

     "Well, that took you longer than we expected." A voice suddenly said.

     Everyone walked further inside and saw Seunghyun, Pain, and Panic playing cards.

     Junhyung smirked when he saw them, "Well, we were kinda busy today."

     Seunghyun smirked back and stood up. Wonho and Hyungwon followed.

     "Good job everyone. We just made the King of Hell know we're someone who he can't defeat easily." Seunghyun stated.  Then Wonho and Hyungwon walked closer to where the Arcs and Demons were.

     Hyungwon looked at the Demon's leader and seriously said, "That's why it's time..."

     "Time for what?" Sunggyu asked with his right eyebrow raised.

     Wonho smirked and looked at the Arcs and Demons with an excited expression, "Time for you to meet Jiyong again."
