nineteen

Newt, Tina, Jacob, and Queenie stood underneath the SQUIRE's sign on the rooftop in the middle of the night. Things were finally being unraveled. From the edge, they had a clear view of the chaos going on below. Sirens were blaring loudly throughout the city.

"Jeez, is that the Obscuria-thing?" Jacob asked.

Newt was staring, contemplating, registering the scale of the destruction. "That's more powerful than any Obscurial I have ever heard of."

The city beneath them was burning. Newt thrust his case into Cora's hands and took a journal from his pocket.

"If I don't come back - "

"Nope," she retorted, flinging the case into Tina, who caught it clumsily. "I am coming with you, Newton."

He winced at the use of his full first name.

"If what you said is true, then that could be my Credence. I am not going to let him fall prey to some lunatic. And if you even think about Disapparating, I will fly."

Newt looked back between Cora and the case in Tina's hands. "I - oh bugger. Miss Goldstein, please look after my creatures if we don't come back. Everything that you need to know is in there," he said, pointing to his case.

"What?" Tina questioned.

Newt looked back to the Obscurus. "They're not killing it." Then, he grabbed Cora's hand, pulled her off the roof as he jumped, and Disapparated.

Times Square was in total chaos. Buildings were on fire, people were screaming and running in all directions, and cars were destroyed. Graves prowled through the square, oblivious to the distress around him. He was only focused on the Obscurus at the end of the square. It was angrier than before. Credence's face was just discernible within the mass. Graves stood before it in triumphant. Newt and Cora Apparated from farther down the street and watched silently.

"To survive so long with this inside you, is a miracle. You are a miracle. Come with me. Think of what we could achieve together!" Graves exclaimed.

The Obscurus moved closer to Graves. It screamed, having the broken memories of Graves killing his real mother. Its energy burst out, knocking Graves to the ground. The force sent a shock wave around the square. Newt and Cora dove behind a fallen car for protection.

Tina Apparated into the square. "Save him!" she shouted at Newt and Cora as they Disapparated.
