Everything stays still in the air, like an action movie stilled in a motion, hyper reacting each and every scene unfolding in the presence of the angels in the ground zero.

"Joonnie?"

"It's Lucifer you pathetic little shit."

.

It can't be. I can't believe my eyes, what is happening? Taehyung's mind was running in a million miles but his facial expression frozen still, body stood tall and firm but remained motionless.

"Taehyung, answer me. NOW! How dare you stab him?"

Jungkook fluttered his wings and flew to hover above the ground right in front of the statued silver-haired angel. The raven king's gaze was too dark and fiery for anyone to withhold, but, Taehyung is the only one who can give him a challenge by keeping his eye contact firm and hooked with the raven head.

"I did not."

"Bullshit, I saw the knife in your hand and he was screaming under your touch. Tell me you did not do this on purpose."

"I did not."

"For fuck sake Taehyung, stop lying to me!"

"I am not. You are already convinced I stabbed him then why are you asking me to speak the truth when the truth is not something you wish to listen."

The raven head was gasping for air, he is unable to control the dilemma inside his heart and mind. Both fighting to defend his assumption about Tae stabbing Namjoon and his own past encounter with the angel which shows Taehyung can never do something like that.

"He is lying Jungkook."

The same old familiar voice, which sounded warm and tender in past days now sounded cold and distant in Taehyung's ear.

"He lured me in here and he stabbed me. Look at the weapon in his hand. He used you to lure me Jungkook."

Taehyung's eyes diverted to the back of the raven head's ginormous wings, easily spotting another black wings on Namjoon, or shall we call him Lucifer?

"Stop saying the lies Namjoon." Taehyung was calmer now but his voice was rising, in power.

"It's not Namjoon to you anymore silly boy, I am Lucifer. Call me by my real name." Namjoon's eyes glistened, if it's even possible, orbs flashing between red and black, increasing the demonic aura circling his body.

"Enough. You may leave, I want to speak to Taehyung alone." Jungkook said, eyes never leaving the hazel orbs in front of him.

Jaw clenched, fists held tight, body radiating a smokey black aura was enough to indicate how troubled and fury the demon king has gotten. Taehyung was struggling to keep his leg still on the ground as Jungkook's negative energy was effecting his Soul of Light.

"I will not hear commands from you Jungkook. You may be the King now, but always remember, I was the first."

As Taehyung and Jungkook were locked in an eye battle, Namjoon took his wings to gather around the two men who did not flinch or notice the addition of another demonic presence by their side.

"But-..."

"ENOUGH." Namjoon cut off Jungkook as soon as the boy turns his head to the side, trying to justify his authority and power as the current King of the Dark Realm.

"I will make sure I finish what you were not capable to accomplish, son."

Namjoon's long fingers went around Taehyung's neck, gripping it tightly, shutting the airflow within the celestial's body, making the silver head struggle under the hold.

"Le-let me go..." Taehyung's face turned red, gasping and coughing to keep his breathing steady under the stronghold of the demon - Lucifer.

"Father, I-..." Jungkook was cut short once again when he felt the pair of charcoal orbs turned to him as Namjoon's face held a strong demonic expression, scaring him to the core of his bone. Although he is the King, he can never disobey his father, Lucifer, the once morning star.

Taehyung was tearing, he was squirming, heart-aching calling out for his Archangels and Jimin. He has no idea why his angelic manifestation is not appearing out to aid him in this stressful situation. The silver head angel could only wish and hope, he won't die twice, in the same place.

"Yell, scream, cry all you want Archangel of Light, let me see if your Divine or your Highest Archangel will come to your aid. You do know Garden of Nem is the ground zero between realms right?"

Taehyung was listening while struggling. He is trying to wrap the idea of Jungkook being the son of Lucifer and that infamous Lucifer, the once favorite angel of the Divine, the bright and glorious morning star, is none other than Namjoon. His favorite lecturer.

"You do seem like you have a lot of questions. Now, how about we play some QnA before I kill you with my own hands? I'm sure my son would love to do it again if I asked him to."

Namjoon let go of the struggling angel as Taehyung dropped to the ground, frantically taking in the air he was deprived from. Running his fingers through his hair, calming his heartbeat down.

He cannot appear weak, he is the Prince of Heaven. With or without the assistance of his Archangels, Taehyung needed to be strong, for this final battle, is his own.

"Yes."

The only word coming out of the celestial's mouth is an affirmation on the question asked by the morning star. Namjoon or better yet called Lucifer smirked, quite impressed by the resilience of the young angel.

"I must say, for a newborn angel, you're a tough one. I can see how well the Divine has groomed you even without you knowing."

"Explain to me all these." Taehyung couldn't be bothered by the snarky comments. He needed the truth. The truth behind all these which was not catered to him by Archangel Jin or Hobi.

"Hm, sure. It would be my pleasure your highness, Prince of Light." Namjoon mockingly bowed down, chuckled in the process but soon dropped it when his eyes and face turned back to their usual emotionless pattern.

The silver head was determined, he adjusted his posture, closed his eyes briefly, collecting his strongest strength and opened his eyes, emitting a radiant light and glow around him which caused both Jungkook and Namjoon to shiver a little but kept it under control.

As Namjoon was ready to proceed with his little story, the air around the 3 started to whirl and typhoon wind was swirling in a circular motion, blazing the space with a dark gloomy aura, settling it down with an appearance of 2 additional presence.

Yoongi and Jimin.

Taehyung's eyes adjusted and widened when he saw Jimin was firmly gripped by the demon guard as Yoongi's lips turned to a nasty smirk, tongue running over his lower lips.

"Jimin?"

"Taehyungie?"

Both the soul friends gravitated towards each other but Taehyung was pulled to a stop in his arms by a strong hand. He turns to see it was none other than his lover boy.

"Jungkook. Let. Me. Go." Taehyung warned.

"Stay here. You get near him, I will have Yoongi snapping his head into half."

Taehyung's eyes trembled in pain, face trying to hide the hurt from hearing how heartless Jungkook sounded. The silver head noticed Lucifer sneaking in a devilish grin, knowing very well he is enjoying this.

The Archangel of Light shrugged his arms harshly, yanking off the demon's grip. He turned to face Jimin whose neck is now wrapped by Yoongi's strong arms and the demon guard stood behind his friend, both arms and face too close to Jimin's neck.

Jimin mumbled a soft it's ok for Taehyung to understand as he stood there, terrified but at the same time leaning against the demon guard, still having a tiny hope in his heart that Yoongi will never hurt him.

"Well well well. The more the merrier I see. Now, are we expecting anyone else?" Namjoon clapped his hand in a mockery delight. Enjoying tremendously the pain and hurt Taehyung is going though.

"Me. You need to expect my arrival."

The initial gloomy dark sky was now replaced with a brilliant light parting its ways in. The earlier thunder and typhoon was now replaced with a peaceful choir chiming in the air. The heavy demonic aura hugging the Garden of Nem is now slowly elevated to a breezy breathy air, giving the whole scene so much live than dead.

The sky parted a majestic shine of purple and pink blazing through, accompanied by the musical choir of heaven, giving its approval for the entrance of the almighty Highest Archangel of Heaven, the Angel of Peace.

Every single soul in the face of the garden looked up in awe as the beautiful and ethereal Archangel of Peace descended the clouds with another celestial present by his side, Archangel of Hope.

"It's been a while. Greetings, Lucifer." Archangel Jin stood beside his Prince of Light while ensuring his presence did not go unnoticed by the demons, especially Lucifer - Namjoon.
