"Life doesn't give you the people you want. It gives you the people you need, to help you, to hurt you, to love you, to leave you and to help your grow into the person you are meant to be"

Maddie opened her eyes slowly, still a little tired after last night but she woke up with a smile because of last night.

She sifted onto her other side so her back was against Five's chest. He responded by tightening his hold and drawing her closer, but this time, it seemed more like a reflex. From his steady, rhythmic breathing, she could tell he was asleep, so she let out a smile.

She remember every little thing about last night 'cause even so it was one of the last night where they are all alive, it was still memorable and the best night of her life. It was a night she would remember forever.

She also remember that she felt nausea early this morning, lucky she could rushed out of bed and into the bathroom, throwing up without waking Five who was really tired after last night.

Maddie thought nothing of the nausea, since she thought that the reason she had it was because of all the alcohol she drink last night.

Her body is not used to drinking alcohol, so her body reaction to the alcohol is nausea and throwing up.

After almost a minute of throwing up, she was done and went back to bed before falling asleep for a few hours before waking up.

She looked to the left to see Five laying next to her with his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep like that with some pieces of his hair in front of his face. Every few minutes, he would tighten his hold, or kiss her cheek, or run his fingers through her hair.

Maddie smiled as she turned to lay on her left while she just stared at him with loving eyes.

"You're staring" Five said still with his eyes closed and Maddie smiled "I admire you" she said "It's creepy" he said "It's romantic" she said as she kept staring at him "Stop it" he said "Make me" she said and he took a pillow in front of his face but she smiled as she push the pillow away before she moved closer to him and he press his lips against hers.

Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me

They pulled away before looking into each other's eyes "Good morring, husband" she said "Good morning, wife" he said and she smiled "How did you sleep?" she asked "Amazing. You?" he asked "Wonderful" she said before taking a deep breath.

"Last night was the best night of my life" she said "Me too. Last night was the best time of my life. I never thought I would be so happy as I was last night" he said "Just for a night I thought that the world was not ending" she said "Yeah, me too" he said as they looked at each other.

Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there, you'll search no more

"Come, we better get up, before we waste a day" she said and was about to get up but then Five grabbed her arm before he pulled her back in bed "No" he said before he started kissing her arm "Come on, Five" Maddie said, trying to get him to stop but he started kissing her neck.

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

"Okay, 30 minutes but then we get up" she said "30 minutes" he said and she smilled before she smashed her lips against his.

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

Freddy turned his body a bit causing pots and pans to fall down on the floor making a clanking noise which cause him to wake up with a groan "Why?" he asked before he lifted his head while he shield his face from the buzzing fluorescent light beams over his head. He looked around to see that he was laying on top of some metal shelf in the kitchen.

"What did I get up to last night?" he asked as he try to remember what happen.

He remember he was singing at the wedding, he remember he was running down the hallway as an maniac, he remember he hold an amazing speech for the two bridal couples, he remember he was in the bar pouring himself a huge bowl of cereal, he remember that he put alcohol in the bowl instead of milk and he remember he was walking down the hallway with the bowl.

His vision then changed to him seeing Reginald in the White Buffalo Suite talking to someone.

"There is no time. I can't do this without you. Do we have a deal?" he remember Reginald say.

"Who the hell is he talking to?" Freddy asked himself before he opened his eyes "What was the old bastard up to?" he asked.

---

Freddy was standing on the hotel's roof, looking at the view as he were watching the Kugleblitz slowly pulling what was left of the world in while he was having trouble remembering what had happen last night.

"Enjoying the view?" Reginald asked "Fuck off, Reginald. I don't want to talk to you" Freddy said "Can I join you?" Reginald asked as he walked over to him "What don't you understand in 'Fuck off' and also I actually, appreciate some...solitude" Freddy said as Reginald walked over to stand next to him "But it seems I wouldn't get that" Freddy said "I know you are angry at me and you hate me more than your family do" Reginald said and Freddy looked at him before he rolled his eyes and looked forward.

"I can see great power in you" Reginald said "So what?" Freddy asked "Don't you want to learn more about it? I can help you" Reginald said "Well. Have made it fine without, so I don't need it and if I wanted to, it wouldn't be with you" Freddy said.

"The world is ending and you are up here alone" Reginald said "I prefer to be alone right now and if it ends while I'm still up here, then one good thing will come out of it" Freddy said "And that is?" Reginald asked "I don't get to see the people I love die" Freddy said before he took a deep breath "But there are worse ways the world could end" he said "I have seeing the world end way worse than this" Reginald said "I don't care" Freddy said "You know, they all run together after a while. But you never forget your first. Your home. Your original sin. You never stop wondering. If you did enough to save the people you care about and I didn't. But I was really hoping you could me out with that" Reginald said "Here it comes" Freddy said with a chuckled.

"Alright, I will go to the meeting. If you tell me what happened with you in the Buffalo Suite. Who were you talking to? Was it Klaus? Was it Ben?" he asked "No one. I was alone. Though I doubt you were in any condition to remember" Reginald said and Freddy narrowed his eyes at him "Then I'm not coming" he said "Are you really going to die alone" Reginald said "If it means that I don't get to feel anymore pain by watching the people I care about die, then yeah, beside people like me are destined to me alone" Freddy said.

"May I ask you something?" Reginald asked "Not if I can be free" Freddy said "You say that you feel a lot of pain" Reginald said "So what?" Freddy asked "All that pain you feel, do you think there is a reason why you are surviving that and are still standing?" Reginald asked and Freddy looked at him "You better go, cause otherwise something you won't like is gonna happen" he said and Reginald nodded before he turned around and walked away "I will go to the meeting, but only if Maddie and Five are coming" Freddy said and Reginald stopped before he smiled and walked away.

---

Five was holding a bottle of alcohol as him and Maddie was sitting with their legs hanging over the edge of the world as they were watching the Kugleblitz slowly pulling what was left of the world in.

"Do you think it's weird?" she asked "What?" he asked "We only seems to hang out when the world is about to end" she said "It's not going to end..." he said sarcastic "But it is Five" she said "You're right, Love..." he said with a sigh before he handed her the bottle "No thanks. I'm not feeling well, so I better not drink" she said and he looked at her "What's wrong?" he asked worried "Well, it started this morning. I threw up a bit up in the toilet while you were asleep" she said "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked "Well, because it was nothing. I was not dying" she said "How are you feeling now?" he asked "Well, a lot better, now. It was probably from all the drinking last night. I'm not used to drink alcohol" she said "So you are alright now?" he asked "I'm fine now. Well, as fine as you can be knowing that the end of the universe is right around the corner" she said before looking at him "I'm fine now, okay. Don't worry about it" she said "Alright, but promise you will tell me, if it return, okay" he said and she nodded "I promise" she said and they both sent each other a nod before looking out on the orange sky.

"You still have yours?" she asked "Yeah" he said before he pulled his suit a little bit up so you can see the scar at his waist "Mine is bigger" she said with a smile "Congratulation" he said and she let out a sigh.

Look into your heart
You will find

"I don't care how many times we cause the end of the world. I don't care what timeline or universe or place we end up on. It wouldn't change my feelings for you, Because I love you. I will love you until the end of time and I love you in every timeline and universe. I will always love and choose you no matter what timeline, place or universe we are in. Always and Forever" he said "Same goes for me. I will always love and choose you, no matter what timeline, place or universe we are in, Always and Forever" she said and he smiled.

"You make me smile even when I feel like crying. You make me laugh even when I feel empty inside. You make me happy even when I have no reason to be. I promise you that I will always fight for this love and for you and us. I will keep choosing you, I will protect you and our love until my last breath. You are my favorite person ever and I love you with all my heart. Whenever I am around you nothing else matters, you make me forget all of my problems and you mean the world to me and I'm forever grateful to have you" he said "I will feel the same way and I would also protect and fight for you and our love" she said.

There's nothin' there to hide

"Let's hope, we will meet again in the next life and live that life we always wanted, and start a family of our own" she said "Yeah. And I hope we will meet while we are young, because then we can love each other longer" he said and she nodded "My biggest wish now, is that you and I will meet in every life" she said "We will, cause our souls are the same and they are connected. Our bond and love for each other is so strong that even in another life, we will always be able to find each other.  I believe that you and me would be together in every version of the universe. That's how much faith I have in our love. We are each other's half. We have a special bond that is strong and unbreakable" he said "Yeah and one good thing will come out of this" she said "And that is?" he asked "We will get to fall in love with each other all over again" she said "Yeah, and I will always choose one last day with you over a life without you 'cause I don't think there's a life or world for me without you in it" he said "I feel the same I will rather die today than live a lifetime without knowing you and having you in my life" she said as they both looked at each other.

"You know that for me, all of this happened within a month" he said "I'm sorry" she said "It's okay, I like the way it end" he said as he looked at her "Us getting together and becoming husband and wife" he said and she smiled "Me too" she said "It has being both the worst and the best month in my life" he said and she smiled.

"I like the ending I will get. I will not go down alone. I will go down with you" he said "And I with you" she said and they smiled to each other before they looked forward, watching the world get suck away into the Kugelblitz.

"If you take away the Kugelblitz is actually a beautiful view" she said "Well, sometimes, something dangerous can create something beautiful" he said "Yeah and when you look at the view, it don't look like the universe is about to end" she said before they looked down at the wedding rings around their finger.

Take me as I am
Take my life

Then they looked at each other "I love you" he said "I love you too" she said before they press their lips against each other.

I would give it all, I would sacrifice

They pulled away before she rested her head on his shoulder and he kissed her on the head before he grabbed her hand as he rested his head on top of hers while they were both looking forward, watching the view.

"Always and forever"

"Always and forever"

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

But then they heard footsteps behind them causing the couple to roll their eyes while lifting their heads as they noticed who was behind them "Reginald" they greeted.

"I take it you two know why I'm here" Reginald said to them as he stood on Five's right side while looking down at him.

Reginald took a quick look at Maddie, his eyes scanned her up and down, until they landed on her stomach.

His eyes widened for a few seconds until they went back to normal.

"I'm outta here" Maddie said "Can't you stay?" Five asked "I think I should find Freddy, see if he is okay after last night" Maddie said "Yeah, he was really drunk" Five said "Beside I better go, if I don't go now, I am gonna punch him" Maddie said, looking at Reginald with an angry look and she got up before she gave Five a kiss.

"Don't let him get into your head" she said "I wouldn't" he said and Maddie smiled at him before she walked into the hotel.

Reginald's eyes watch as Maddie walked into the hotel.

"Stop staring at my wife" Five said calm and Reginald looked down at him.

"How about I save you some time? Give you 'the no' upfront. My wife and I are not the least bit interested in this bullshit plan you've been cooking" Five said "It's not, as you so colorfully called it, bullshit" Reginald said and Five took a sip of the bottle.

"Mind if I join you?" Reginald asked as he sat down next to Five "Actually, appreciate some...alone time with my wife. But it seems I won't get any" Five said before he handed the bottle to Reginald who took a sip "Dear God" he said as he swallow the liquid "Mmm Louis XII, it ain't" Five said "I've had worse" Reginald said as he put down the bottle between him and Five.

"It is impressive, isn't it?" Reginald asked "All the ways we could have screwed the pooch, this way is the most complete. I'm relieved, actually. This time, everything goes. There's no Commission, no leaping away. No life spent going mad with the desperation to see a familiar face" Five said and handed the bottle to Reginald who took another sip.

"I've seen worlds end in ways that would knock your socks off, old man" Reginald said "Wow! Reginald Hargreeves, you never cease to surprise me" Five said "That is some comfort" Reginald said before he put the bottle between him and Five "You know, they all run together after awhile but you never forget your first, you home" Reginald said "Maddie is my home" Five said but Reginald continued "Your original sin. You never stop wondering 'Did I do enough to save the people I loved'?" Reginald said "Did you?" Five asked as he took the bottle "No, but I was hoping you children could help me out with that" Reginald said "And there it is" Five said before taking a sip of the bottle.

"Sorry, Reg. I got a message from the future" Five said "What future?" Reginald asked "My future self told me very explicitly not to save this world" Five said and Reginald laughed "You are an arrogant son of bitch, aren't you?" he said and Five chuckled "'Future you' 'Present you' The past is as much mystery as the future" Reginald said as Five took a sip of the bottle "You ruined your life before by not listening to me are you prepared to do that again?" Reginald asked.

"If it means that Maddie and I will fall in love again. And we will have a life together. That life we could have had if I hadn't time travel. Then yeah" Five said.

"Well, you also ruined Maddies' life once before by not listening to me" he said and Five looked at him "What do you mean that I ruined Maddie's life too?" he asked "She must have being heartbroken when you left. Didn't get the chance to live that life she wanted, because she was too busy trying to find you. So are you prepared to do that again?" Reginald asked and Five clenched his jaw, hearing Reginald's words as he glared at him.

Five stared at Reginald for a few seconds before he let out a sigh "Fine, me and Maddie will attend your stupid meeting" Five said as he let out a sigh while Reginald smiled "Excellent!" he said as he got up "If" Five said as he tilted his head a little bit while giving him a fake smile as Reginald turned to him "You tell me what your plan really is" he said while looking at him.

"I will tell you when the time has come. We should go. Don't want to be late for the meeting" Reginald said and Five let out a sigh as he looked forward again.

"I would move if I were" Reginald said "What, are you threatening me?" Five asked with a frown.

But then the sound of rumbling was heard and some part of the edge Five were sitting on collapsed which cause him to quickly stand up as the ground under him fell into abyss and Five quickly took some steps back as he glares down at the ground that had falling beneath him.

"Shall we?" Reginald asked before walking towards the hotel and Five put down the bottle before he followed him.

---

Five and Reginald walked into the hotel and over to the others "Look who I found" Maddie said and the others looked over to see Maddie with Freddy next to her "Woo! Freddy ! Yeah" Klaus said as the others except for Allison, Reginald and Ben were cheering and whistling "Here he is" Luther said as they were all clapping "Yeah" Klaus said "That speech last night! Wow!" Diego said "And that singing, whoa!" Luther said "Brought me to tears, you big softy" Lila said as she jumped off the couch.

Freddy tucked his hands into his pockets as he stared at his family, regretting the speech and the singing his drunken self have given.

"I especially liked when you referred to us as a family bound by destiny and love" Viktor said as Freddy walked past them "Yes. That was great" Maddie said as her and Five sat down next to each other.

Lila opened up her arm, offering a hug as Freddy walk closer, but he pained no attention to her "No, you don't" she said before wrapping her arms around him "Come here little Red" she said using the nickname she used to call him when they were kids and she pulled him closer.

"I love you, you big softy" she said "Love you too, Lil" he said and she hugged him tighter.

"Okay. Enough" Freddy said before pulling away "It was the booze talking. And I'm never getting drunk again. In the light of day, you're all still deplorable" he said as he sat down.

"And your day's about to get worse. The Norse had seven sleepers. The Blackfoot, seven stars. As a boy, I heard the legend of the seven bells. All these stories are the same. The village is under threat by flood, by fire, by a night that never ends. A shaman brings his disciples to a sacred cave. He tells them if they can ring the seven magic bells, the village will be saved, and all will be restored just as it was" Reginald said.

"Reggie?" Lila asked as she raised her hand and Reginald looked at her "Can we get a little less Brothers Grimm and more 'What the hell does this have to do with us'?" Lila asked as she was laying on the couch with her head leaned up against Diego.

"There is a truth to these myths. None of you can deny what's going on around us. All of existence will be gone by the end of the day, but whoever or whatever wove together space and time, they left a way to put things back together if the universe ever faced total annihilation. There is a portal in the universe. I built this hotel around it, and on the other side is the answer" Reginald said "And...we're supposed to, what? Just stroll in there, ring some bells, and fix this shit?" Luther asked "Sarcasm aside, you are mostly right. Except for the guardian" Reginald said causing the others to look at Freddy "Me?" he asked "No. Not you and not one like you. Another creature called the guardian" Reginald said.

"What kind of Guardian?" Maddie asked as she had her head rested on Five's lap while he was gently and slowly stroking his hand up and down on the right side of her head.

"Kinda a guardian that does this" Diego said as he held up his hand where he was missing two fingers "He has a sword" he said "It is a force to be reckoned with" Reginald said "See? Yeah. This is where you lose me" Luther said "This is where he loses you? I checked out at the sacred cave" Lila said.

"Why would the builders of this 'black door' need to have a guardian?" Viktor asked "Ah! To protect it from people who want to use it for nefarious means" Sloane said "Correct, Sloane" Reginald said "So it's gonna take all of us to defeat the thing protecting the bells" Allison said "You're actually buying his crap?" Five asked as he pointed his thumb at Reginald "I'm not" Maddie said "Yeah, me neither" Freddy said.

"How is a guardian and bells any crazier than time-traveling briefcases and assassins with cartoon masks?" Allison asked "Actually, she's got you here" Luther said to Five.

They were all silent for a moment. This plan was either another chance to survive and life, or they would all risk it for nothing. The unknown taunted them all, with the idea of saving the world one last time.

Ben stood up and walked over to stand next to Reginald "I'm in" he said "Shocker" Freddy whispered before he started to ponder in the effort to remember who it was that was talking to Reginald in the Suite last night, wondering if it was Ben he was talking to.

"Me too" Diego said as he got up causing Lila to fell back onto the couch where he had been sitting "Ow" she said while Freddy looked at Diego, wondering if it was him.

"But I think some of us should stay back. Like Lila" Diego said as he looked at Lila "Uh...or you can stay, and I can go" Lila said as she got up "No. This is much bigger than all of us. Nobody can stay back" Allison said as she glance at each of them causing Freddy to look at her weirdly. How could she know how big this is? They all just got told about Reginald's idea now together.

"You, my children, are all that stands between us and oblivion. Are we ready to go?" Reginald said "Well, I say we vote" Viktor said "This isn't a democracy. Dad's calling the shots" Ben said.

"I'm with Viktor. We vote" Five said "The world is ending, and you want to count hands?" Reginald asked "You're asking us to risk our lives. I think it's only fair you give us time to discuss it. Privately" Luther said and Reginald sighed before he walked away "Why don't we meet back here in an hour?" Freddy asked.

"Agree" Five said "Yeah, sure" Diego said "Whatever" Lila said before they all got up and walked away.

---

"I don't think there is no way to save the world" Five said "Wait...you're giving up?" Maddie asked "Even if we try, I end up an one arm old man that failed to save his wife" he said "Maybe the paradox killed me" she said "If it did, I would've died too. Someone or something must have taken your life as I said failed to 'save' you" he said "So what will you choose?" Maddie asked Five "I don't trust that old man for a second, beside my future self told me to not save the world and I will listen to that. So I will stay" he said.

"Why?" she asked him "Because I've spent my whole life trying to beat the apocalypse and no matter what I did to beat it, the outcome never changed and I always end up on the same path. I'm tired. I have being running in circles and ending up back at square one again for years. Now I just want it to be over, I'm exhausted from all the stress that had weighed me down. I'm done from trying to save the world, I can't go through it again, I'm tired. And even if it means that we only have few hours left. I'd rather spend those hours with you peaceful, than fighting for our lives" he said before he looked at her "What about you?" he asked "I'm on your side 100%. If you go I go. If you stay I stay. Beside I don't trust him either" she said as she was looking at him.

Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it, there's nothin' I want more

"You know that I could also use my power, release The Red Dragon in me and destroy the Kugelblitz" she said "It can get you killed" he said "Maybe, but it can save you and the rest of our family" she said "You know that there will be a big chance that you would die and also I don't think that would work anymore" he said "I know but--" "No" he said, cutting her off as he walked closer to her "Listen" he said as he took her hands "You are The Red Dragon and I love that. But I love Maddison Hargreeves more, my one and only, the love of my life, my world, my light, my everything, my wife" he said and she smiled before she nodded.

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

"The heart and the head" she said "The heart and the head" he said before he took a deep breath "Beside I wanna spend the last hours we have left, together with you, than walking into something we don't know about" he said and she looked at him "Always and Forever, in good and bad ways" he said "Always and Forever, in good and bad ways" she said and they rested their forehead against each other before nodding.

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

"Stay with me" he said "Always, no matter what, I would never leave you" she said "I will also always and forever stay with you, no matter what. I would never leave you" he said before they both closed their eyes as they had their forehead rested against each other.

---

Luther was sitting in his room on the bed looking out the window when Freddy, Maddie and Five entered the room "Hey" they said "Hey, how long do we have left?" Luther asked "A couple hours. Could be more, could be less" Five answered "Where's Sloane?" Maddie asked "Raiding the wine cellar for our end of the world party" Luther said "That sound like a good way to party" Five said "You are welcome to join us" Luther said to the couple "I think we rather spend the time we have left alone" Maddie said as Five nodded "Yeah, just laying in our bed, looking into each other's eyes" he said and Luther nodded "That sound like a good way to go. But if you guys changed your mind you are welcome to join us" he said.

"So I guess you guys know which way you're voting" Freddy said "You're more than welcome to join us" Luther said to him "I'm still on the fence on that one" Freddy said before he began walking around in the room.

"I saw something last night that I was not supposed to see" he said and the three looked at him "Diego and Lila. Yeah, they do it on the stairs sometimes" Luther said "No, I saw Reginald. He was in his room with someone. He was making some kind of deal. Before you three ask, I don't know what the deal was or who it was with. Everything is a blur" Freddy said as he was walking around the room.

"Wasn't me or Sloane. We were, uh, busy doing other things last night" Luther said "It wasn't me or M either" Five said "Yeah, we were busy celebrating our wedding night last night, so we were doing other things, we didn't even leave the room for the rest of the night" Maddie said and Five nodded "Yeah, and we did it more than once" he said as he looked at Maddie who nodded with a small smile "Yeah, we did it three times, actually" she said "Well, it was our wedding night and the end of the world" Five said "And then we did it one more time this morning" she said before him and her looked at each other with a smile.

"Yeah, I get it, guys. Thank you. Everyone was boning everyone last night" Freddy said "Wait, Ben hooked up with someone?" Luther asked "Klaus?" Maddie asked "Focus, please" Freddy said to him as he walked closer to him.

"That story about the bells? There's something Reginald 's not telling us" he said "He's right. Think about it. When the old man ever been straight with us?" Five asked "I don't know. He was ruthless in our performance reviews" Luther said "He always gave me five stars" Five said "Really?" Luther asked "Look, I know I'm the youngest here, but my dad taught me to trust my instinct, and it's telling me this is a trap" Freddy said "Yeah, I have a feeling that this is a trap too" Five said "Me too" Maddie said "Food for thought" Freddy said before the three walked out the room.

"Who do you think was talking to Reginald?" Maddie asked "I don't know, but it will come back to me" Freddy said "Well, no matter what, we are on your side and if you say that this is a trap, then we are with you" Five said and Freddy looked at him "Beside I never trusted that old man, and what you just said about Dad not telling us the truth about those bells, then I agree with you, there is something wrong" Five said "Well, if our instinct say to not trust Reginald, then we better listen to them" Maddie said as the three continue to walk down the hallway.

---

"I think you can all guess which way I'll be voting" Allison started.

She was standing in the middle of the others where everyone have gather up in the main entrance.

Ben and Reginald was standing in front of everyone with Diego and Klaus on one side, Klaus was leaning against a pillar while Diego was standing right by the stairs next to Lila.

Luther and Sloane was sitting on the stairs. Sloane was sitting one step below him right between his legs while Viktor and Lila was also on the stairs. Viktor was sitting down while Lila was standing.

Maddie and Five were standing on the opposite side to Klaus. The two was standing next to each other, leaning against a pillar while Freddy was standing across from them also with his back leaned against a pillar.

"We've all been though a lot. We've all lost people. But their deaths have to mean something. Which is why I'll be voting to go with Dad" Allison said.

Lila walked down the stairs before she looked at Diego "What she said" she said to him before she walked over to stand next to Reginald "Let's go save the bloody universe!" she said "Woo-hoo!" Klaus said.

"All right, well, since she said yes, I vote stay" Diego said and walked over to stand by the stairs as Lila let out a small laugh "How's that for nice?" he asked her "You're not being serious" she said "It's his vote, Lila" Allison said before she turned to Klaus "Klaus?" she asked.

"I am with Father" Klaus said as he pointed on Reginald and Reginald looked at Ben who nodded, meaning that he had not changed his mind, he was still on his side "Okay, that's four to one" Allison said before she looked at Viktor.

"Viktor?" she asked and he sighed "Look, I wanna believe, okay? I really do. I just can't shake the feeling we don't know what we're getting ourselves into" he said "No, but we know what we've got if we don't" Allison said as she put her arms on crossed "We have to go into this together" she said as she glanced at the others before she looked back at Viktor "Viktor. A family" she said causing Freddy to roll his eyes as she use the word 'Family' when all she had done for the past two days was causing a fight with Viktor.

"You can't just keep throwing the word 'family' around. It isn't enough. I vote stay" Viktor said and you could see on Allison's face that she was not happy.

"Luther?" she asked as she looked over at Luther who looked down at Sloane who sat on a step below him between his legs "Um...Sloane and I talked, and, well, we're out. Look, we wanna spend whatever time we have left together, and not fighting some guy with a sword and ringing bells and stuff. So..." he said "Well, dead even. Four in, four out" Viktor said.

"That leaves you three" Reginald said and looked over at Freddy, Maddie and Five.

"I saw the future, and it told me to sit this one out. I vote stay" Five said as he glanced at Reginald before he looked at Maddie and grabbed her hand "It's time we accept our fate" he said as he looked back at Reginald.

Reginald then looked at Maddie, he needed seven to go and he needed either Maddie or Freddy, 'cause their powers were strong enough so that he only need one of them, two for the best if one of them died, then he would have a backup. But he most wanted them both, because together with the full strength of their powers, with the full strength of The Red Dragon's and The Guardian's powers, they would be invincible, especially if their powers merge together. Without at least one of them, his plan wouldn't work.

"Maddie?" he asked "I rather spend the last hours we have left with Five, than walking into the unknown, I'm with Five. I stay too" she said.

Reginald then looked at Freddy "Freddy?" he asked "Well, I will listen to what Five told me about Oblivion and also I don't trust this plan for even a second" Freddy said and Lila looked at him "I thought Logan taught you to never give up or run from a fight?" she asked "I'm not running or giving up. Yes Lila, my dad taught me to fight, he taught me a lot of things, like sometimes there is nothing shame about running, and sometimes is better being smart than brave. But one of the most important things he taught me, was to always trust in my instinct and that is what I'm doing right now" Freddy said to her.

"I vote stay" he said and thunder was rumbling as silence filled the room.

"You're all pathetic" Allison said before walking away "Why can't we go in there, just the four of us?" Ben asked Reginald "That would mean certain failure. It must be seven of us" Reginald replied before he took a step forward "Children, I can't say I'm happy with this. But I see now the blame fall on me. I failed you when you were young, and I have failed you now. And in doing so, I have doomed the entire universe. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the courtyard...awaiting the end" Reginald said before walking away.

"Idiots" Ben hissed and walked away "Was that a real apology?" Viktor asked "The man's never apologized for anything in his life" Luther said "I actually feel bad for him" Diego said "Don't be it was less of an apology and more of a weapon used against us so that we would feel pity for him" Freddy said "Don't worry. It'll pass" Five said as Klaus and Lila walked away.

"So now what?" Sloane asked "We wait for the end" Freddy answered as Five grabbed Maddie's hand "See you around. It's been interesting" he said before the two walked away as the sound of thunderclap was heard.

Five and Maddie was laying on the bed, looking into each others' eyes.

There's no love
Like your love

"This is how I wanted to spend my last day, just laying here looking into your eyes, it made me forget everything, my problems, my pain, even the end of the world" Five said.

And no other
Could give more love

"I feel the same way. Laying like here, being this close to you, just looking at you, made me forget all my troubles. You make me feel like I can do anything, we can do anything" she said.

There's nowhere
Unless you're there

"I know I can do anything, as long as I'm with you. We fight for each other no matter what" he said "No matter what. You know I am with you to the end of the line" she said.

All the time
All the way, yeah

"I want you to know that whatever happen to this beautiful story of you and I, I hope you know that there wasn't a day that I didn't choose you. There was never a minute when you were a second choice or second place. Never. I will love you till the end of time, in this life and the next life, any life. It's you, and it's always been you. And one day, it'll be you and me together, dancing alone perfect timing, and toasting forever. And no matter what happens. I'll always protect you" he said and she smiled before they kissed.

Oh your can't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more

Maddie then moved closer to him before she lay her head on his chest and he began to stroke her back and forward on the side of her head.

Yeah, I would fight for you
I lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah, I'd die for you

"I fell in love with you because you put effort into me. I love you because nobody has ever given me the love that you given me and you are the only one that could ever love me like this. I love you because you always make me feel that I am worth something. You made me smile when I forgot how to. I fell in love with you because you have an honest heart. I love you" he said "You too" she said "You too what?" he asked "I love you too, Five" she said with a smile and he kissed her on the top of her head "Thank you for being my comfort person. You've helped me through some tough times without you knowing it. You're such a bright light in my world. I hope you know that I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. No matter how this ends...Thank you for being here" he said "You make me feel so safe and comfortable, you never fail to put a smile on my face. With you I am the happiest person. I don't know what I will do without you" she said "Always and Forever" he said "Always and Forever" she said before they brought their lips together.

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

The two then pulled away "Beside I don't want to go down that way, fighting to death, I want to go down like this, at your side, holding your hand" she said "I want to go down that way too" he said and Maddie grabbed Five's right hand before she place it on her belly.

There's no love
Like your love
And no other
Could give more love

Five looked down at her belly, stroking his thumb up and down before he grabbed her hand and locked their fingers together and like always they fit together perfectly, like two puzzle pieces.

"You don't need to scared about that we will not see each other" Maddie said "I know we will. I'd choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you, and I'd choose you. And remember, no matter what timeline you're in, or how many times the world ends, I will love you unconditionally. I will love you until the end of time, and more. I know we will find each other again, that's how much faith I have in our love" he said and she smiled.

Five was happened that he had Maddie in the end. She is like the flame inside his heart, igniting his soul his passion and fire. She is like a song that he never forget, keeping him up at nights with the memory of her beauty. To be loved by her, is his greatest happiness on earth and he will treasure her forever.

Five knew that the world was falling apart, but his true world was here, laying next to him, shining like the brightest star in the sky.

Maddie was happy that she had him in the end, he is like her guiding light out of the darkness, his is her anchor, the one that she think about to not lose control, all she have to do is see a glimpse of his face and she will calm down. To be loved by Five Hargreeves is her greatest happiness ever and she will tresure him forever.

Maddie and Five is each other's love. And no matter what they always find their way back to each other, even if it takes years. The two of them will find each other again, even if it is in another life. 

The two stared into each other's eyes, when this was going to end, they wanted to be looking into each other's eyes.

There's nowhere
Unless you're there
All the time
All the way, yeah

Because when they were looking into each other's eyes, they forgot everything, even the end of the world.

You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

"I will find you again someday" he said "I'll be waiting" she said and they smiled to each other.

Five might not get to love Maddie as much as he want to in this world, but he will love her endlessly and effulgently every other universe and reality. His world will never end, because all he need is her. She is his world, his everything.

He knew that the world was falling apart, but his true world was here, standing in front of him, shining like the brightest star in the sky.

Maddie and Five is each other's love. And no matter what they will always find their way back to each other, even if it takes years. The two will find each other again, even if it is in another life.

Freddy was holding a huge bowl of cereal as he was walking down the hallway.

"Hey" a voice said and Freddy turned around to see Viktor walking towards him "Hey" Freddy said "So listen, now when the worlds is about to end, I was thinking that I don't think that you should be alone when it happen, so what do you say that the two of us stay together, the last hours we have left, just so none of us are alone when the worlds ends?" Viktor asked "I think that sound like a good idea" Freddy said and Viktor smiled "Thank you" Freddy said "What you got family for" Viktor said and Freddy smiled before he ate a spoonful with cereal.

"So, what are you doing?" Viktor asked.

"Eating cereal. Retracing my steps" Freddy said "Why?" Viktor asked "Reginald is hiding something" Freddy said "Yeah, feels like there's a lot of that's going around" Viktor said and Freddy looked at him "What do you mean?" he asked "Allison apologized to me" Viktor said "Okay, and that suspicious, how?" Freddy asked "Last night she was ready to go ten round with me at the wedding, and this morning it's all family and Dad and love. I don't know. Something must have happened last night, but I don't know what" Viktor said.

When he said that, Freddy's eyes widened before he dropped the metal bowl with cereal making the metal clanging together and milk spilling on the carpet.

He froze as the sight from last night came back to him and he now remember who it was he saw talking to Reginald.

It was Allison.

"Fred! Freddy! What?" Viktor calls out to his frozen brother.

"It's Allison" Freddy said "What is?" Viktor asked.

Then suddenly they heard Sloane screaming "NO!" she screamed before a door opened and Maddie and Five ran out of the room before the four rushed towards the sound.

---

The four rushed into the White Buffalo Suite to see Luther's head on Sloane's lap who was crying over his dead body. He had a huge cut by his stomach as he was laying in his own pool of blood.

Sloane was looking down at Luther with grief while she was crying hysterically over the death of her husband.

Lila and Diego was standing next to Luther, looking at his body with widened eyes while Allison was sitting on the floor with Luther's blood on her hands.

"Oh my God, Luther" Viktor said "What happened?" Five asked and Maddie put her hands to her mouth as she was looking at her brother's dead body while tears felled from her eyes.

"He went to get ice. I couldn't--" Sloane said, crying "He didn't come back. I...I don't know" she said, weeping.

Everyone was looking at Luther's dead body with tears in their eyes.

Tears was show in Freddy's eyes, for him Luther was that kind of sibling you always fight with, you always disagree with, you always pick on, the siblings you wouldn't admit you actually love.

"Who did this?" Maddie asked and Lila looked at the secret door with the symbols on to see that it was a little bit open "It must have been him. The guardian" she said "She's right" Diego said as him and Freddy crouched down to look at Luther's body "Whatever did this had a long curved blade" Diego said as he was looking at the wounds.

"How...How can you be sure?" Viktor asked, stuttering "I don't know much, but I know knives" Diego answered also stuttering as his eyes was filled with tears.

They were all trying to hold back their tears and not breaking down crying.

"Children, what's going on" Reginald said as he enter the room but gasps when he saw Luther's dead body "Oh God! Luther" he said.

"If we attacked first, he would still be alive" Ben said as Sloane kept crying before she looked up at Freddy "Your the Guardian, right?" she asked and he nodded "They say that Guardians have the power to heal, then heal him, please" Sloane said "Listen, those healing powers are part of my Guardian power, which I have turn off and even if I did turn them back on, I don't think I can heal someone who is already dead....I'm....sorry" Freddy said sobbing and Sloane looked back at Luther's body before crying.

Allison looked from Reginald. She had made a deal with him but she didn't know the details of the deal and she had a feeling that Reginald had murdered Luther to begin his plan.

Then suddenly the whole place started shaking causing everyone to gasp as the sound of explosion booms was heard outside.

Ben looked out the room to see the Kugelblitz coming closer, absorbing everything. "G-Guys? Hey, guys!" he said before walking back into the room and Five ran over to the door see what was coming.

"What are we gonna do with Luther?" Sloane asked "Okay, we're out of time! The Kugelblitz is here" Five said as he ran back into the room and Diego grabbed a harpoon rifle that was hanging on the wall.

"Into the passage! It's the only way" Reginald said as Lila opened the door more before she entered.

"You agree to stay" Viktor told Diego who was on his way to the passage "They killed Luther, all right?" Diego said before he walked into the passage.

Freddy turned his right arm a little bit and as he did that some flames appeared along the arm while moving down to his hand. When the flames reach his hand, it took the shape of a machete before all the flames disappeared leaving him holding a real sharp machete in his right hand.

He then turned his left arm a little bit and as he did that water appeared along the arm while moving down to his hand. When the water reach his hand, it took the shape of a machete before all the water disappeared leaving him holding a real sharp machete in his left hand.

He then put the two machetes behind a holster on his back.

"Come on, children! Hurry" Reginald said "We can't leave him" Sloane said as Allison try to pull her up while Viktor entered the passage "We go now, or we're gonna die" Allison said "No. God" Sloane said "Yes, yes. We have to go!" Allison said as she was trying to pull her up "Come on" she said "Hurry" Klaus said and Sloane stared down at Luther for a moment before she gave him one last kiss.

"Children! Hurry, please" Reginald said "Come on" Allison said as she pulled Sloane up before dragging her with her into the passage "Go, go, go!" Reginald said as the two entered.

Klaus then ran over to Five, Freddy and Maddie "Come on! What are you three waiting for?" Klaus asked "This isn't over!" the three shouted as they glared at Reginald before they enter.

"Get in the tunnel!" Klaus said as he ran over to the tunnel but Reginald stopped him "What! What are you doing?" Klaus asked "You've done a fine job bringing me back into the family fold. You're just more trouble than you're worth. Sorry, Klaus" Reginald said before he push him backward "No, Dad!" Klaus said as he felled to the floor "Thank you for telling me about Freddy and Maddie and bringing The Red Dragon and The Guardian to me, they are just the last things I need for this to keep working. I need their blood and powers to work as batteries" Reginald said "No, Maddie, Freddy" Klaus said and Reginald closed the door.

"NOO!" Klaus shouted as he got up before he try to opened the door but it was lock.

"When your guts tells you not to trust someone, don't. The mind and the heart can be fooled, but your instinct will always be true"
