Haechan clenches a fist at his side. Tae-il blinks, but he looks a little more relieved. Yong-sun spreads his arms to the sides of him, holding onto his staff as he makes the friendly greeting gesture.

"Oh, don't act so welcoming," Haechan growls. "You have about one minute to free my Taeilie or else you'll feel my wrath!"

Yong-sun chuckles with amusement. "Feel your wrath? Haechan, you have no wrath, but a deadly and, dare I say, sick obsession with your..." He glances at Tae-il, who is biting his lip and looking at Haechan.

"Moon Tae-il," Tae-il squeaks out.

"SILENCE!" Yong-sun thunders. "Sacrifices shouldn't speak."

"Don't yell at Taeilie!" Haechan roars and charges at the dragon lord.

Yong-sun rolls his eyes. "Must things always end in violence." He swings his staff around, just as a burst of pink-purple energy shoots at him.

Instantly, flowers decorate the magical stick, allowing Haechan a split moment to dodge the blow and attack. He skids to a halt, his eyes flashing emerald. His head snaps to the side to see the others entering the rocky lair.

Seung-kwan has his hands thrust out into the air before him, an intense look on his face. On either side of him are: Jae-min (lightning electricity sparking from his upturned palms) and Jin-ho (whose wings are fluttering fiercely behind him).

Hak-nyeon sits on the back of Maverick with Dami's arms wrapped around his waist. Shin-won and Kyung-hwa stand side-by-side in the center, holding tree branches as clubs. Seo-ho and Ryu-jin crouch down, snarling and showing their sharp, nasty canines, while Ravn hovers on Seo-ho's back and Jeong-yeon stands behind Ryu-jin, rubbing her arm nervously and scanning the room.

WinWin neighs, Mark on his back with his sword out before him.

"Nice aim, Kwanie!" Jae-min remarks.

Seung-kwan's arms drop down to his sides. He turns to Jae-min, smiling. "Thank you, compliments from you about me make me very happy!"

Jae-min smiles back at him and flirtily wiggles his eyebrows.

Yong-sun growls and flicks the staff up and down, shedding the flowers from it. "Pain in the--"

"HEY! Dragon dude, there's children present, keep it PG," Shin-won shouts out, pointing a thumb at Jin-ho.

Jin-ho makes a disgusted-sassy face at Shin-won, before tossing his eyes. "Funny, hyung."

Haechan roars again and dives at Yong-sun, forcibly knocking the staff from the villain's hands. It falls to the floor and is picked up by Seo-ho.

"I got the staff!" Seo-ho shouts out around the staff in his mouth.

"GO, DONGHYUCKIE, GO!" Tae-il screams out.

Haechan pins Yong-sun on the ground, causing the red orb thingy to shoot off a large burst of energy in the air. His sharp teeth are bared and his eyes are glittering with the emerald green tint.

Yong-sun chuckles. "Impressive anger, darling vampire."

"That's Lee Haechan to you," Haechan growls at him.

"You're forgetting about my friends, blood-sucker," Yong-sun sneers. "Dal! Sagikkun! Jiog! Yeo-u!"

At once the moon rabbit, Korean goblin, fire dog and nine-tailed fox lady spring into action.

"And you're forgetting about mine!" Haechan snaps back.

Mark guides WinWin forward, gently gripping onto his mane with one hand and the other grasping a shimmering blue sword. Jin-ho, Seung-kwan, Jae-min, Hak-nyeon, Dami, Seo-ho, Ravn, Ryu-jin and Jeong-yeon all spring into action, joining the knight and unicorn. Shin-won and Kyung-hwa (having ditched their tree branches) hang back to survey the scene. Given they're not cursed, they decide to be cheerleaders from the side for now and hold onto Maverick.

"Now, is this going to become a bloodbath or are you going to just give us Taeilie back?" Haechan snarls.

"I think you know the answer to that, Lee Haechan!" Yong-sun spits.

Seo-ho crushes his teeth around the staff, breaking it into two parts like it is nothing. The orb in the center of the lair sparks to life and seems to consume the broken staff, taking it up and leaving nothing. Seo-ho, spooked by this, steps backward with a yelp. 

Haechan tenses up and goes to bite Yong-sun on the neck, however the villain inside channels some kind of sorcerer magic and launches the vampire off of him and into the air via a gust of wind.

Yong-sun scrambles to his feet as Haechan hits the rocky ground and slides backward. "ATTACK THEM! MOON TAE-IL MUST BE SACRIFICED!" At once he vanishes into a burst of red-black smoke and transforms into his dragon-form.

WinWin whinnies and rears back, flicking his hooves into the air. Mark gives a battle cry on the unicorn's back and then there is chaos in the Udo-cave lair. Jin-ho, Seo-ho and Ravn meet with the mythical daltokki, while Hak-nyeon and Dami fight the dakkaebi. The bulgae locks in a fierce combat with Jae-min and Seung-kwan, leaving the Gumiho to take on Ryu-jin and Jeong-yeon.
