"No deal," Yoongi shakes his head and crosses his arms across his chest.

"Deal," Jungkook says, sending a death glare in Yoongi's direction.

"No deal!" Hoseok says, draping his arm around Yoongi's shoulder.

Yoongi scowls and smacks his arm away. "You're still soaking wet."

"I almost drowned today. Cut me some slack," Hoseok pouts.

"And I got stabbed in the back. You don't see me whining," Yoongi snaps.

"Last time I checked, I'm the Prince of Wrath. So why are your panties in a wad, Sloth?" Jimin snaps.

"Why in the world did she love you morons so much?" Kai groans, massaging the bridge of his nose.

"She used us," Jungkook says. "No love involved."

"Wow, even bigger morons. She gave up everything for our home. Sacrificed hundreds and hundreds of years of her life searching for you and protecting you so you could help her protect our home. And all you can think is that she used you? Maybe I should've let her cut your feet off like she planned," Kai scoffs as he sits down on the floor next to Lucy.

"Some of us understand why she did it. No need for a lecture," Jin says quietly.

"I'm not killing her. I already lost her once... I mean, we already lost her once. I- we won't let that happen again," Yoongi says, a slight blush spreading across his cheeks.

"Sloth likes the Devil's sister!" Namjoon yelps.

"Sloth is going to rip your tongue from your mouth," Yoongi growls, glaring at Namjoon.

Jimin nods in approval. "I'll hold him down."

"No, that's fine. This isn't important. Please continue to argue about childish things," Kai waves his hand dismissively.

"Like we said before... no deal," Yoongi says.

"She will kill you if she stays like this. And I know she plans on killing her brother afterwards," Kai says, exasperated. "She doesn't care that it'll kill her too. She just wants all of you dead. I can't let her singlehandedly destroy my home. It's important to me too."

"Isn't there a way to cure her of the poison?" Jimin frowns as he's lost in thought.

"I..." Kai trails off, keeping his eyes trained on his shoes.

"So there is a way," Taehyung says, eyebrow raised.

"Damn it..." Kai whispers, having an internal battle with himself.

He sighs deeply as he comes to a decision.

"The Devil is immune to the poison," he states in a monotone voice.

"Okay...?" Jin says, furrowing his brows.

"Listen to what I'm saying," Kai says softly. "The Devil is immune to the poison."

"We get it. Lucifer can't be poisoned. Good to know," Yoongi rolls his eyes.

"I didn't say that. I said the Devil is immune to the poison."

"Is he broken? Why is he repeating himself like a moron?" Jungkook snaps.

"Wait," Namjoon says, holding his hand up. "I understand."

Kai looks at Namjoon as they nod slowly at each other.

"Okay, I think Lust is undressing this guy with his eyes."

"Shut up, Gluttony," Namjoon says. "Are you all really that dumb? He's just told us how to save Lucy."

"Maybe I did give you brain damage," Jimin frowns, scratching the back of his head.

Namjoon sighs. "It's sad that out of all of us, I'm the only one who understands what he's just said. But hey, I'm glad to know that I'm the smart one."

Jungkook snorts in laughter.

"The Devil is immune to the poison. Meaning that whoever the Devil is won't be able to die from it," Namjoon says slowly.

They all nod.

"So if Lucy becomes the Devil..." Namjoon continues.

"Then she'll be immune to the poison!" Hoseok snaps his fingers.

Kai rolls his eyes.

Lucy begins to stir and they all stop talking and watch as she slowly sits up.

"What a nice nap," she grins as she rubs her eyes. "Hello, my pets. Looking very handsome with that blood all over you."

"You're in a... good mood..." Kai narrows his eyes.

"I had a wonderful dream. The princess was at a tea party with beautiful tablecloths and cup holders. And I was wearing a lovely scarf," she sighs in content before standing suddenly and Kai follows suit, finger on the remote.

"Lucy..." he says in a warning tone.

"But it's play time," she says, her eyes bright and her hair wild as she stares at the seven men on the couch.

"Boys, take the deal," he urges.

"No," Yoongi says.

"My little sheep. Did you have a good nap?" She cocks her head to the side, licking her lips.

"Lucy, don't make me rip your heart out and crush it since that is the only way to kill someone with Devil's blood," Kai says loudly, giving Yoongi a side glance.

"Teddy bear," Lucy coos, turning on him and grinning. "I can't give you my heart. It belongs to someone else."

"Someone incredibly rude and lazy, perhaps?" Namjoon speaks up and Lucy turns back towards the men on the couch.

She smirks. "I didn't take you as someone who gets jealous, little fishy."

"Lucy," Yoongi says quietly before standing up and walking over to her.

"Hush little baby..." she sings as she steps towards him.

"Sloth, that's not a good idea..." Kai warns as his grip on the remote tightens.

"I just want to hold her. And then maybe we can go somewhere together. Right, Lucy?" Yoongi says slowly.

"Ooh! Party?" She claps her hands and reaches out for the green-haired man in front of her. "Dance with me before I paint your pretty hair with your blood!"

Yoongi nods. "Let's go."

He glances at Kai as he says this and sends him a quick nod as the other men stand as well.

"Lucy, I'm sorry for this," Kai mumbles before pressing the button and she falls to the floor.

"I was being good!" She screams as she holds her head. "I just wanted to dance with my sleepy boy before gutting him!"

"Pride, grab her. You're the strongest."

"Damn right I am," Jungkook grins proudly.

"I'm not strong enough to take you all. You have to do it yourself," Kai explains.

"Ow! Stupid bitch!" Jungkook hisses as Lucy bites down on his neck, blood trickling from the deep bite mark.

Kai sighs and pushes the button again.

"F-fucker..." Lucy says through gritted teeth as she hits herself in the head. "This is a boring game."

"Focus on where you want to go. Feel the energy in your core and use it to pull yourself down to Hell," Kai says quickly.

They all do as he says, and after a tense moment of silence, they all open their eyes to find themselves in Hell.

And standing in front of them is none other than the Devil himself.
