More People Join

"Alright before we begin, I'm gonna bring in several more people," Nighlock said.

He then activated a hologram on his metal arm to see who to bring in. One by one, he began making his selections.

The remaining Disney Princesses (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas, Mulan, Anastasia, Hercules, The Princess and the Frog, and Encanto), Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and...

Nighlock paused when he saw his next selection: IOTS. He looked a little uncertain as he knew what that meant. Island of the Slaughtered. He lifted his finger up to his ear.

"Hey, Doc," he whispered. "I'm thinking about bringing in the Survivors, the Victims, and their families in for the viewings. I need you, Arthur, and Elise to tend to the Survivors and Victims before they come to the theater. I'll explain it to the families, just take care of the kids. Ok, thanks Doc."

With that, Nighlock hung up and made his final selection. He then set the teleporter to bring the remaining Disney Princess characters, the citizens of Whoville, and the families of the contestants directly to the theater, while sending the Survivors and Victims to the Hospital of his Lab.

"What the?!"

"Where are we?!"

"Who dares kidnap the Grinch?!"

"Bark!"

"Please be calm," Nighlock called out. "You are in my theater. If everyone could wait here, I need to speak with these people here *gestures to the contestants' families*."

"Why just them?" Astrid asked with curiosity.

"Because I have information regarding your children," Nighlock responded, looking slightly uncomfortable as if he were trying to steel his nerves for a bombshell he was about to drop. "Sydney will explain why you are all here."

With that, a girl wearing electric blue clothes, mask, and cape hovered down.

Nighlock led the families out of the room, and into the hallway.

"Well, where are our children?" Mr. Ingrid, Gwen's father, demanded.

"When I call your last name, please step forward," Nighlock told them before reading off a list. "Tarun, Garren, Anderson, Connelly, Ingrid, Uratu, and Olongala."

The seven families stepped forward while the rest were shocked more weren't called.

"Your children will be in the recovery room of the hospital by now," Nighlock told them. "My teammate, Mai-coh will take you there."

Sure enough, a Native American suddenly materialized, as if he had been hiding in plain sight the entire time.

"Follow me," he simply said.

The seven did as told.

"What about us?!" Mr. Kasuga, Heather's father, demanded.

"Yeah, where are our kids?!"

Nighlock closed his and took a deep breath. This was one bombshell he took zero pleasure in dropping.

"Before the show began, there was an inspection of the island to make sure it was safe," Nighlock told them. "With how cheap McLean truly is, however, it was half-assed. Because of this, they never knew someone who shouldn't have been there to begin with was on the island. There was a serial killer on the island."

The remaining families absorbed that information. None of them liked where this story was going.

"Ezekiel was the first to die," Nighlock told them.

"NO!" Mrs. Miller cried out in heartbreak before she broke down crying.

As Mrs. Miller sunk to her knees, her husband gently but firmly held her, his face speaking a thousand words of what was going through his mind.

Meanwhile, inside the theater, pretty much everyone heard Mrs. Miller's cry. Only a handful of people accurately guessed what was going on.

"How did our children die?" Mr. Miller questioned.

"I've already traumatized you all with this information," Nighlock replied in an uncomfortable tone. "I won't traumatize you all further with how that son of a bitch killed them. All I will say is that he was extremely brutal with each of his kills."

"Did you bring their bodies?" DJ's mom asked quietly.

"Sort of," Nighlock answered. "For some reason, they continued to haunt the island even after death, only they took on the appearances of what they looked like when they were murdered. My top medic is currently taking care of making sure they are... *Trying to search for the right word* that you aren't extremely horrified by what you may see."

"Please take us to them..." Mrs. Miller whispered.

Nighlock nodded, then motioned for them to follow.

*Line Break*

The last thing Gwen and her friends expected was to find themselves in hospital beds and hooked up to IV bags.

"Please be still, Ms. Ingrid," a female nurse urged her. "You and your friends are safe now."

"Where are we?" Gwen croaked out.

"Away from that horrible place, dear," the nurse told her. "Your families are coming in soon, so please rest."

Gwen closed her eyes, tears silently falling down her face.

Duncan sat up, his face sullen.

Cody curled up into a ball to make himself look smaller.

Izzy turned on her side to look away from everyone.

Leshawna broke down crying when she realized that the nightmare was finally over.

Katie just laid there.

Eva briefly smiled knowing that her fellow remaining campers were finally safe.

*Line Break*

Zeke slowly opened his eyes. When he looked around, he deduced he was in a hospital.

"Is this Heaven?" he asked.

"No," a robotic voice answered. "You are the hospital of the laboratory of my creator."

Zeke turned his head to see an actual robot by his side.

"Please lift your arm," the robot commanded.

"Hey, metalhead," Zeke said softly. "Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm kinda in pieces."

"Dr. Machina has seen your body back together and fitted you with cybernetic enhancements to ensure that you stay in one piece until the nanobot have completely sealed up your injuries and you are 100% whole again. Please lift your arm."

Zeke and did as he was... Wait, his arm was actually slowly lifting up. Sure enough, the robot was right. He was sewn back together and the cybernetic enhancements were holding him all together.

Meanwhile, Lindsay was currently being tended to by a surgeon. The surgeon had already removed the stick in her forehead and healed the wound and healed her good eye. He then set to work carefully removing the eye that had already popped out.

Meanwhile, a large purple robot with orange optics, a surgeon's mask, surgery gloves, and scrubs was carefully removing the hooks in Courtney's body fixing her broken leg.

Timeskip:

"And so, in conclusion, that is why you're all here," Taser told the audience.

"Wow, I can't that the Multiverse is real..." Weiss muttered excitedly.

"I know," Rapunzel agreed. "To think that there's multiple different versions of us, and all with different lives. Cass, do you think that there's a version of her out there that is actually good?"

"I want to believe that, Raps," Cassandra replied, "but our experience with her makes me have some doubts."

Silco, meanwhile, was wondering if there was a universe out there where Felicia didn't die that day on the bridge. She was practically the glue that held him and Vander together, and when she died... Well, we all know what happened after she died.

Just then, Nighlock came back in with the families and their children. However, when everyone saw what the Victims looked like after surgery to fix them up for the viewings, they were horrified at the implied damage done to them.

Ezekiel was being helped by his parents to walk. Even with the cybernetics, he still needed to relearn how to walk again.

Lindsay had an eye patch over her left eye.

Sadie was completely blind after having the flowers removed from her eyes, and she had a whiteboard and marker to write on to convey her thoughts.

Justin's face was completely covered except for his good eye and a respirator to help him breathe easier.

Beth was wearing a device to help make it easier to not smile as much as she complained that it hurt to smile and that she couldn't stop.

Tyler had to be carefully shrunk back down to a manageable size and wore sunglasses to cover his eyes (per his request.

Noah had a bacta patch on his stab wound to heal his injury and was currently being accompanied by Cody.

Bridgette was covered in bacta patches for her burns and had her eyes completely replaced with robotic ones to help her see again and was helping Geoff.

Speaking of Geoff, even with the cybernetics helping the stitches keep him together, he needed to use crutches in order to walk.

Owen had his teeth filed down to normalcy and was accompanied by his mom and Izzy.

DJ was partially blind and being guided by his mom. His pet, Bunny, was sitting on his shoulder.

Trent needed major surgery done to his neck in order to speak again, although he also had a whiteboard and marker as Dr. Machina had ordered him not to try to talk for about a few months.

Harold had gotten new glasses to replace his old ones and had a thought translator in order to help him speak due to his lack of a mouth.

Courtney had cybernetic implants in the spots where the hooks had been to help her move those joints, while also using crutches due to having a caste on her broken leg. She was currently being accompanied by Duncan and Gwen.

Heather, on the other hand, had her head sewn back onto her head, her eyes healed and the blood cleaned off. However, unlike Ezekiel, it would take more than just cybernetics to fully heal her as she had been completely decapitated. Due to this fact, Heather was confined to a wheelchair until she was ready to start learning to walk again.

"What the hell happened to those kids?!" Grinch asked in horror, immediately standing up to go check on them.

"Believe me, Mr. Grinch," Nighlock said in a grim tone. "You really don't wanna know that right now."

"Okay, so can I ask why you brought us here?" Noah asked softly as him and Cody sat down.

"To watch your lives in the Multiverse," Nighlock answered bluntly. "Y'all go ahead and sit down, and I'll get things started."

The Survivors, Victims, and their families sat down as Nighlock walked off to get something.

A/N: Yes, I skipped introductions cause I'm feeling lazy.
