When Y came to pick the two up, the two of them got on and slid into their seats, ignoring the pile of four people on the ground.

The Tobot had question marks flying around now, "What on Earth happened? Why are Diluk and the Bikerbots here?"

"I think that they got word of our coming here, and used that to try to ambush us," Duri explained.

"Yeah, thankfully we managed to beat them, right Duri?" Nebok smiled.

"Yep!" Duri nodded.

Y chuckled a bit, "You guys have had quite the trip, haven't you?" 

"No kidding. But I met some new friends along the way," Duri admitted. 

"Same here," Nebok laughed. 

"Wait, so did Nebok say anything to you before I came to pick you up, Duri?" Y asked, trying to sound as casual as he could. He could barely handle his excitement. 

"Erm... About that..." Duri turned beet red. "He... kinda... confessed to me-" 

"YES YES YES!" he screamed, doing a few loop-de-loops in happiness. This was amazing! He had confessed! "Great job, Nebok!" 

"E-EH?!" his partner's eyes widened. "Wait hold up, you knew, Y?!" 

"Everyone knew, Duri! It was, like, the most obvious thing in the world!" Y laughed, ignoring the insulted "Hey!" he got from Nebok. "In fact, I think that was the second reason Dai set this all up!" 

More offended looks were sent his way, but as a Tobot who was in his vehicle form, he couldn't see that, and thus was immune to it, "Anyway, what was your reply, Duri?"

"E-Erm... I-I'll say in private..." Duri grew even more red.

"Please?"

"N-No!" 

"Yes!" 

"No!" 

And so began the mini-fight between the partners, though anyone would know that it wasn't that bad that their partnership would be broken. After all, their bond was the strongest among the Pilots. It was the only way Duri had managed through the year, and how Y managed to recover from the brainwashing that could have taken weeks. Their bond was just that strong. 

Nebok could only watch them with a small smile on his face, watching the night sky around them. 

Duri's words echoed in his mind. 

"I'm sorry, Nebok-hyung... Maybe before this entire mess, I would have liked you, but now... I... I don't have those kind of feelings towards you. I'm sorry."

He also remembered his own reply. 

"You know, it's okay. I can understand. But promise me that no matter what happens, we won't let stupid stuff come between us. *smiles* I care a lot for you, Duri. If you end up dating someone else, I'll be glad for you. You're like my brother now. Let's keep it that way, then. A do-over from all the chaos we caused last year, okay?"

He had been honest. While it would take a while before he recovered from this pain, he would make it. Just like how he had persevered through his own feelings to fight Acnee, he would do it to make it to the end. 

Below them, the new people they had befriended were smiling as well. 

Pilseung, Pada and Pori were laughing while having dinner together as Pilseung cooked some food for them. Taeyang was having a video chat with his uncle, Kang Taeman, smiling all the way. Beom and Young were talking away as well, looking worried but trusting Duri and Nebok. 

And for good cause. 

Cause soon, Acnee would be exposed. 

And it would all be over.
