(y/n) - your name

"Allison! Allison where are you!?" Viktor calls out with teary eyes, roaming around the long empty hallways alone. He felt like he was stuck in a maze, going in endless circles that he was trapped in. He didn't know what to do or where to go, opening doors and looking in to try and find someone, anyone really. He was shaken up after hearing Allison scream and then just suddenly disappear on him.

"Viktor?" the poor guy jumps back in fright when someone calls his name, turning around quickly to find the one person he thought he would never see again.

"Sissy!?" She looks at him with wide eyes, looking around the place in confusion while Viktor was also equally confused about how she was here. "I don't-I don't understand... how?"

"Viktor, where am I? Where's Harlan?" he goes rigid when Sissy asks for her son and his heart plummets into his stomach.

"Sissy... I'm so sorry..."

"What happened to my boy?" Sissy tears up as Viktor kept his distance from her. In the back of his mind, he knew she wasn't real. She couldn't be...

"I tried to protect him... I really did Sissy. I'm sorry for putting you both through so much pain..." Viktor frowns as Sissy cries, calling out for Harlan as she looked around.

"Harlan! Harlan where are you!?" Viktor goes up to her, grabbing her shoulders to try and calm her down when fear rushes down his spine. Sissy's head twists on her neck unnaturally to look at Viktor, ink spilling down from her eyes. "Where is my son." her voice breaks, Viktor stumbling away in fear as her neck snaps and her head falls to the side, ink using out from the broken neck.

"Oh shit, oh my god!" Viktor lights up in a panic, his eyes glowing a bright white as he blasts his powers at this dark demonic creature. It howls in pain from the bright light, flying across the hallway and breaking through a portal. It shatters and reveals an elevator that Viktor was desperately trying to find, jamming the buttons and jumping into the moving transporter as the door close just in time when the creature gets up.

"Where is everyone!?" Ben gasps as he and Five run out of the elevator they finally managed to find, escpaing the maze of hallways and getting back to the safety of the foyer.

"I don't know..." Five didn't like this silence, didn't like how it felt like it was just them being the only ones left. Ben ran around, searching for som sign of life and yelling out to anyone that might hear him but he only received silence.

"We can't be the only ones left... right...?" Five purses his lips as he looks at the last sparrow kid that used to be his brother. He had no answer. For once, he didn't know what to do. Would he live teh rest of his miserbal lif trying to survive again in an apocalyptic void with creatures that were out to get them?

"Hello?" the boys freeze and turn around to the new voice, seeing a woman walk out from being the pillars with a terrified look on her face. Five didn't know who this was but from the look on Ben's face, he knew who she was.

"Jennifer?" Ben mumbles softly, his demeanor breaking and he looked at her with softness.

"Ben? What's happening? What is this place?"

"You're safe now Jen, I promise." Ben says, walking towards the woman he loved but Five grabs his arm.

"What did I tell you?" he hisses lightly. "There shouldn't be anyone here except dad and his kids. She shouldn't be here." Five explains and Ben grinds his jaw, closing his eyes. He didn't want to listen to Five but he was right. His Jennifer was gone and this was an imposter.

"Ben please, I want to go home..." the girl pleaded and he looked at her with disgust.

"My Jennifer doesn't know my name..." Ben whispers, summoning his tentacles to fight this creature with his last sibling next to him, Five brandishing the axe tightly in his arms. The boys watched, mortified as the girl melts into dark ink before morphing into a large creature, roaring at them with its sharp canines.

"Do you have a plan on taking this thing down?" Five asks and Ben shakes his head no.

"Thought you would being the smartass douche out of all of us." Ben snaps back and the boys jump away from the creature as it charges at them.

"No but I know physical objects or direct offense doesn't work!" Five blinks away, watching Ben trying to wrap his tentacles around the creature but he gets pulled into the darkness.

"Shit!" Ben pulls his tentacles back before he could get taken, Five blinking to save him and taking him to the second floor of the foyer. "This thing is just darkness! How the hell are we supposed to fight this thing!?"

Five pales at Ben's words, looking at the creature. "(y/n)...?"

"(y/n)!? You mean this is her!?" Ben seethes. "Some girlfriend you have!" Five blinks them both away when the creature tries to drown them, the two falling onto the floor harshly.

"Shit-" Five tries to blink away again but her had been overusing his powers, the blue electricity crackling around his hands before the fizzed out.

"Move!" Ben shoves Five away before the creature could get him, being swallowed by the darkness.

"BEN!" Five yells out, scrambling to grab his arm and trying to pull him out, clawing at the ink and ripping it off but it just started submerging his arm in too.

"FIVE!" the boy had no time to react when white light blinded him in a explosive flash, him quickly blocking his eyes when he gets thrown back.

"Shit-" he groans in pain, opening his eyes to see Viktor glowing and using his powers to blast through the creature to save Ben who gasped for air, dropping to the floor.

"Five, oh my god! Are you ok!?" Viktor runs up to his brother, helping him up as he cracks his neck and grimaces at the ink ruining his suit.

"Better that you're here..." he mumbles out, the brothers rushing over to help Ben up.

"Children?" Reginald walks out from wherever he was hiding, holding his book as he looked around the destruction and the final 3 children that stood before him. "Where are the others? They cannot have lost! I made sure that we would win!" Reginald slams his book closed, looking down at the dark ink that cralwed away into the shadows of the building. He was sure that he would win, so sure that he would get his wish.

"You lose." the boys and their father all freeze at the voice that echoed around them, looking around to try and find Her as she stayed hidden within the shadows.

"Show yourself!" Five yells out, catching the red eyes that he knew had been watching him this entire time. The boys and the father watch as the figure crawled out from the walls, claws breaking free from the darkness and breaking the wall to push their body out. The foyer dimmed, as if light was sucked away by the darkness looming around Her. "(y/n)..." Five's heart plummets seeing Her face devoid of emotion behind the hood ofteh dark cloak She wore.

"She is dead." Her words ring through their head, instilling fear of what She had lost too.

"We are doomed..." Reginald says, sighing in defeat.

"Where is Allison!? What did you do to her!"

"Where's Sloane!" Ben and Viktor yell out and She tilts Her head at them, looking down at the foyer ground as figures rose up from the pool of ink. The figures all gasp for air, breathing heavily but they struggled to free themselves from the darkness that wrapped around them.

"Guys!" the rest of the siblings that were believed to be dead were alive, yelling out to Five, Viktor and Ben to help them or ask them what was happening.

"(y/n)! Please, please don't do this!" Sloane, Diego and Lila beg as She flies over to her captured victims.

"(y/n) I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Allison pleades and She looks at her with red eyes.

"Crazy... please... please don't do this..." Klaus sobs and She frowns at him, flying to him and holding his face. "Please... you have to be in there somewhere..."

"She's not (y/n)." Reginald answers as She hoves away from Klaus. "She is the Guardian."

"What!?" everyone exclaims.

"No! That fucker with the scythe was the Guardian! We barely escaped that thing!" Diego yells out, trying to escape and help his girlfriend.

"That is merely Her puppet. A ruse Guardian She had implemented when She was taken from this place." Reginald explains and everyone looks at him, even Her.

"What the fuck are you on about old man." Five hisses, swinging his axe around menacingly and the old man sighs. "You said (y/n)-her Doppel-was your daughter."

"She is but she is half my daughter." Reginald watches as She hovers around the group, waiting, watching. "I stole her from this dimensional void. When I first found the portal, I discovered Her in Her vulnerable state but I knew that she was the Guardian of this dimension. I took Her, merely a ball of growing black hole and injected my DNA in hopes of finding a way to defeat her."

"You sick son of a bitch." Five growls out.
