Nightfall:Seize Your Happy Ending

Sunday, July 4th ?:?? AM
Unknown Place

Yuri is laying in a soft bed and his left arm feels cold, almost like when it's hanging out the window of the car on a cool day. He has a slight headache, but otherwise feels good, vaguely remembering having felt awful just after the flash of light from after when they left the Sunless. The room he's in is dark, lit only by the lights from what looks like some hospital equipment, standing a few feet away.

Yuri: He slowly opens his eyes and looks around the dark room, seeing all the lights and realizing that he must be at a hospital but he doesn't remember coming here at all. After laying in bed for a few quiet minutes he decides to try standing up from the bed.

As he gets out of bed his movement seems to draw the attention of someone else. A young voice, vaguely familiar, but he can't quite place it. You awake? It's from another bed, a few feet away from his, that he didn't notice before. It's... There's a slight weezing. It's me... Rava... I guess...

Yuri: He looks across the dark room to the other bed before he whispers. Rava?... The light from the hospital equipment lets him partly see his face. Where is everyone?

Rava: Nemo's gone insane. He weezes again. From how weak his voice is it sounds like he's having a lot of trouble breathing. ...Said he doesn't need us anymore.

Yuri: He tries to stand up all the way but an IV attached to his arm stops him, he realizes it's why his arm feels cold. What? He looks up from his arm back to Rava. Why would he say that? He tries to remember what happened. The sunless and the Aphelion Knight. He remembers both the Hat man and the Knight died and that Nemo teleported them to the Wake motel. Why are we in a hospital?

Rava: We're not in a hospital... He weezes. Yuri can't really see him, just part of his arm and the blankets on his bed. He put us... In the basement... Locked us down here...

Yuri: That doesn't make sense... why would he do that? He sounds like he's starting to get angry. And what the hell is this thing in my arm?

The lights suddenly turn on. Yuri quickly recognizes it as Nemo's basement room, his lab beneath the house out in the desert, but it looks larger than he remembers it. There's even room enough for a pair of medical beds and some equipment. He can now see Rava, who doesn't look much like how he remembers. It's just a boy laying in bed, thirteen, maybe fourteen at the oldest. He looks weak and sickly, so thin that it's unlikely he could even get out of bed. His face looks sallow and pale, with dark rings around his eyes, and his he's completely bald.

Yuri: He narrows his eyes as they adjust to the lights. He looks back at Rava, seeing how sickly and weak he looks while laying in that bed. It only confuses him even more.

Nemo: Yuri! He seems to suddenly be in the room, the door not even having opened. You're awake! He looks and sounds so happy.(edited)

Yuri: He looks back at Nemo, unsure of how he even got in the room. He still smiles a little, happy to see him. In the back of his head he thinks maybe Rava is just messing with him. Bro... what's going on? I don't even remember going back to the motel...

Nemo: The greatest thing happened Yuri! Everything awful that happened to us didn't happen! After the motel I woke up at Shane's, his old house in Anaheim! It's like we've been sent thirteen months into the past!

Rava: That doens't make sense... You're lying...

Nemo: No I'm not! He pushes passed Yuri and thrusts out his hand, curling his fingers into a claw. Rava suddenly arcs his back in pain and a beeping goes off from a previously quiet heart monitor. Nemo quickly lowers his hand and Rava falls back against the bed, too weak to move. The beeping slows and quiets until it's gone again as Nemo looks back to Yuri and his anger quickly fades as he smiles again. As far as I can tell none of the Hat Man stuff every happened, or... Has happened yet, I'm not sure.(edited)

Yuri: At first he doesn't look like he believes him but after seeing his claw, it worries him a little because of the Gemini. You got your old powers back?(edited)

Nemo: Yes! His face lights up. I'm so strong now! So powerful! He looks passed Yuri to Rava. I don't need him anymore! I'm back to my old self! I'm not weak, and frail, and shitty- I'm back to primary antagonist mode! He looks to Rava with a deviousness that Yuri regonizes from back before Nemo died.

Yuri: He's not sure how to feel about all of this. I'm glad you're powerful again, bro but... what am I doing in your basement? And where's Lucas?

Nemo: Oh... yeah, sorry... I guess I have a bit of explaining to do. He looks around. I'll start from the beginning... He thinks for a moment. After the flash of light, I woke up with Shane, at Shane's old house in Anaheim... I felt a familiar feeling... It's hard to explain but, the last time I woke up like that was when I woke up in my-Lucas's bed five or so years ago. He looks down. I immediately knew some sort of time travel resulted from the Hat Man's defeat, so I went looking for you and Lucas. Lucas was easy to find, but he seemed preoccupied with Ricky, who is alive again. He smiles and looks up at Yuri, then looks away. So I left the two of them undisturbed and I went looking for you. Took me a few hours, and when I found you, you were in pretty bad shape, suffering from withdrawal... So I picked you up, brought you here, and gave you some stuff that would replish your fluids and take a lot of the edge off. He looks back up to Yuri. You've been here about twelve hours, give or take an hour.

Yuri: He's still having an extremely hard time accepting that all of them went back over a year into the past. He stays quiet as he thinks.

Nemo: You don't believe me? He thinks for a moment. We can go find Odie, that'll prove it to you, won't it? He smiles.

Yuri: Odie's alive?

Nemo: We have a second chance, Yuri... Well in my case it's more like a third chance I guess... He shrugs a little, still smiling. Everything bad we did, well, you did I guess, has been undone! It's like it was all a terrible dream that we've woken from...(edited)

Yuri: He's still sitting on the hospital bed. This is a lot to take in...

Nemo: I know... But it's the best thing, isn't it? I'm still unsure of why it happened, but I'm glad it has.

Yuri: He looks back down at his arm. ...Can I take this thing off?

Nemo: Yeah, let me get it. He grabs Yuri's arm, and though Nemo isn't being forceful, Yuri can feel just how strong Nemo is as he pulls the IV from his forearm and then rips the tape off. Let me get a bandaid. He walks over to a cabinet. I stole a bunch of medical stuff for you guys.

Yuri: While Nemo is turning around to get the bandaid he tries to remember everything that was different a year ago. If it's as far as Nemo says it is, he still hasn't met Stacy Lee or any of his other old friends. They must still be alive. He thinks there's really only one way for him to tell. In his mind he speaks out "Belxephon?".

Belriuy: The familiar voice, almost child-like in tone, but with a rumbling undertone, like thunder, bounces around inside Yuri's head, making him feel a little dizzy. We pretend not to care about you, but to us you don't speak with... We wonder if that makes us sad... Or angry... You have been places... Without us... We see it...

Yuri: He rubs the side of his head as he hears his voice, speaking back to him in his mind. It's just you again... but I still rememeber everything.

Belriuy: Are you a riddle for us? ...How does a boy remember that which hasn't happened? A tiresome trick... You have made for us...

Nemo: He puts the bandaid on Yuri's arm. So how are you feeling?

Yuri: He looks up at Nemo. Like shit... compared to how I felt before. He slowly stands up. Especially my head...

Nemo: Well, my alchemy can only do so much to take the edge off. He smiles a little. At least I'm here for you this time. He puts his hand on Yuri's forehead and messes up his head a little. We won't be enemies.

Yuri: Enemies? He looks at his blue eyes.

Nemo: I'm not gonna try and eat Lucas this time, so we don't have to fight. He takes a few steps back and smiles warmly.

Yuri: He forgot how strange Nemo used to act when they first met. What are you gonna do?

Nemo: The best I can! He smiles more.

Yuri: He looks back at Rava and remembers everything he went through. What about him?

Nemo: I'm not really sure what to do with him. He's just a human now... Dying from cancer. He shakes his head and looks to the small withered boy, still passed out in the other bed. I was just going to kill him, but then I decided to wait for you to wake up and help me decide. He knows too much about me, about us even, to let him be... I could save him... Kill him... Leave him to his fate... He looks back to Yuri. What do you think?

Yuri: He's the only reason we got you into the Sunless. He looks back at Nemo.

Nemo: He also tried to kill me, and then when he realized that wouldn't work, he tried to bind me to his will... So... I'm not sure if that evens out.

Yuri: Why did he try to kill you?

Nemo: I turned him into my demon, I guess. The deal was, I save him from dying and give him power, but he had keep my mind from falling off the deep end. He shrugs. He didn't seem to like the terms once they were brought down upon him.

Yuri: You turned a cancer patient into a demon?

Nemo: Pretty cool, huh? He smiles.

Yuri: Well, save him. We all have a second chance and everyone's alive again... you can't start off your third chance by killing someone.

Nemo: He smiles and practically leaps forwards and grabs Yuri in a hug that's way too tight. I was hoping you'd say that! I was going to save him either way, but I just wanted to see if you were still you, and not the Hat Man you! Yuri's back cracks a little as Nemo lifts him up.

Yuri: When Nemo squeezes him too hard he opens his mouth but no sound comes out at first. Bro- you're- really strong.

Nemo: Oh... He quickly puts Yuri down and lets go of him. I forgot for a second. He takes a step back. Sorry.

Yuri: ... He sits back down on the bed until his bruised back feels a little better. I still can't believe this happened. Does everyone else remember?(edited)

Nemo: Coty remembers. He's dozed off on the couch upstairs. Shane doesn't remember... Troy doesn't, explaining it to them was... Annoying, but Lucas remembers, Rava remembers, and you remember. So I guess it's only the people that went to the Sunless... Which means Trent might remember. He narrows his eyes. ...I almost forgot about him.(edited)

Yuri: You brought Coty to your house?!

Nemo: He got my number from Shane and then wouldn't stop calling here until I spoke with him, so yeah, he's here. He shrugs. I brought him here in the previous timeline too, so I didn't think it'd be too big a deal... He's just a weak little human anyway, what's he gonna do, shoot me? Haha.

Yuri: ...Does he know I'm here?

Nemo: You 'fraid of him "big bro" Nemo punches Yuri's shoulder as lightly as he can.

Yuri: He rubs his shoulder still. Guess it doesn't matter... it's not like he'll ever find me. A demonic wave of energy goes across his entire body, turning him invisible.

Nemo: That's something else I thought I'd bring up. I know how to deal with the Gemini now, but what do you want to do with Belxephon? He just stares at the spot on the bed where Yuri was.

Yuri: He reappears sitting on one of the counters in Nemo's basement. ...What do you mean?

Nemo: He turns and looks at him, rolling his eyes as he does. Don't you want to get rid of him?

Yuri: Do you wanna get rid of the Gemini?

Nemo: I'm not sure... Being without him was... Difficult. He's a part of me, and without him my brain turns to mush and I do stupid things... He looks down. I felt so impotent... In that month... Watching you struggle against everything that was happening around us... Odie... Ricky... Lucas... They were gone and I wasn't smart enough, or strong enough, to do anything about it... I don't like that feeling of being powerless. He wraps his arms around himself and grabs his shoulders. I felt ashamed...

Yuri: He's you, so... it makes sense that your brain turns to mush.

Nemo: He sighs and shakes his head. But Belxephon isn't you guys. He shrugs. We can do whatever we want with him and you won't be affected. We can get rid of him, or maybe even twist him into something better, more useful. Grandma was selfish. She wanted Belxephon to be a certain way, and she wanted him to suffer, even at the expense of you and Lucas. He taps the side of his head. But I remember everything I read in that book of hers. He nods a little. The Gemini gives me that eidetic clarity now. You don't have to live with him inside you if you don't want to.
F
Yuri: He looks up a little and to the side, almost like he was trying to look at him. What do you think, Belxephon?

Nemo: He raises an eyebrow.

Beliruy: His voice bounces around in Yuri's head again, like a small stone rattling around and bouncing off the insides of his skull. Another riddle? From you... Think think think-think-thinkthinkthink... What do we think? Do we think? So long you don't talk to us and then we get two riddles from you. How do we remember what to think...

Yuri: He thinks back a few years ago. Ya'know... I vaguely remember grandma lobotomizing the demon inside Ricky. Could you do that to Billy?

Nemo: I suppose I could try, but I'm not as powerful as her...Yet.

Yuri: I know where her book is. He smiles.

Nemo: You really want to break into Natalya's place with less power than the last time? ...Actually I have way more power than the last time, so maybe that can even it out...

Yuri: We could get even more help...

Nemo: Lucas? Ricky... Odie...?

Yuri: The Prince.

Nemo: His eyes light up suddenly. THE PRINCE! His mouth drops open. We need to find Cinnamon right now!

Yuri: Right now?

Nemo: Well at your leisure I guess... He shrugs.

Yuri: We have an entire year to spare, we could bring him back next week. I kind of want to go see Odie... just to make sure.

Nemo: Let's go then! He grabs Yuri's hand.

Yuri: Huh?

Nemo: Junior! They suddenly appear standing on the sidewalk, he looks down the street, then in the opposite direction. He points to a house, it's Odie's old house. He still lives here.

Yuri: He looks around the neighborhood, remembering coming down here on his skateboard to see Odie when he was younger. He doesn't wait to take in the nolstagia and quickly runs towards Odie's house.

Nemo: He runs after him, running across the lawn up towards the front door like when they were kids. Maybe I should stay hidden. He stares at the doorbell and pulls his handkerchief up over his face.

Yuri: He quickly presses the doorbell twice like he used to always do and waits.

After a moment the front door opens.

Odie: He looks at Yuri for a moment, then tilts his head. Yuri? He smiles. Holy shit man! I wasn't sure I'd ever see you guys again. He looks to Nemo, and his excitement quickly fades. ...Nemo? He looks confused as he looks back to Yuri.

Yuri: While he waits for the door to open his heart feels heavy until he finally sees his best friend. He doesn't say anything and just hugs him really tight.

Odie: He hugs him back, still looking at Nemo with uncertainty over Yuri's shoulder.

Nemo: He smirks evily at Odie, really playing up the villain card that he hasn't been able to play for a while.

Odie: ...So... What's... Going on, man? He pats Yuri's back, genuinely happy to see him again after all these years, but he sounds a bit cautious.

Yuri: He backs away a little and smiles. We're still best friends, right?

Odie: I hope so, better friends than I've had in the last few years at least. He smirks a little, remembering Leo whip him across the back.

Nemo: Almost as if he knows what Odie's thinking he chimes in. To be fair Leo was being pushed to extremes. He wasn't himself... He crosses his arms over his chest. He's better now.

Odie: ...What's he doing here? Please don't tell me you're tangled up with this guy. He looks back at Yuri and whispers. He's in with some bad guys man, he's dangerous...

Yuri: He looks back at Nemo and then at Odie. Fuck Los Angeles... I'm coming back to Wildomar and if we're gonna be best friends again then I can't keep any secrets from you. He takes off Nemo's bandana. This is my other little brother.

Odie: He raises an eyebrow at Nemo. ...I'm sorry, what?

A few hours later they're sitting in Nemo's house, in the living room.

Odie: He's sitting on the couch, taking everything in. So... let me get this straight... Nemo is an alternate version of Lucas... From the future, that travelled back in time and engineered a lot of the events, but couldn't step in too much because he was enslaved to a necromancer that was once the high priest of the Dark Paradise cult. Then you guys all met, about a year from now and learned all of thise, then fought the "Hat Man" only for his defeat to cause a time paradox that sent you back in time to this day? He looks to Yuri. So Nemo is from an alternate timeline, and you guys changed this timeline? He puts his hand to his forehead and brushes his hair back for a moment before it falls back to where it was.

Yuri: You won't get a headache if you just think of him as the Prince's son. The warlock one. He smiles.

Odie: Well, all of it sounds awesome... What happened to me in the future?

Coty: You were a cop or something. He's standing in the corner, not having said much while the explained it to him. My brother bought your big ass house from you, the one up north, and we lived there for a while.

Odie: Why are you here? I didn't even know you knew the twins.

Coty: Because I'm from the future. He smirks smugly. And me and Yuri have gotten real intimate.

Odie: He raises an eyebrow at Yuri.(edited)

Yuri: He wants me because my two gay brothers already have boyfriends and he can't touch them. He shakes his head. He just doesn't realize I'm already taken too.

Coty: Eh-

Odie: Wait you're gay? He looks back at Coty.

Coty: You tell anyone and I'll beat you black and blue O'Dwyer! He glares at Odie fiercely and holds up his fist threateningly.

Odie: He stands up and an ice Katana materializes in his hand and he swings it. It makes a slight ringing sound as it cuts through the air. Bitch I'll cut your smug ass down to wallet size.

Coty: He smirks. Nah I'm just fuck'n with ya. He looks at Yuri, looking him up and down. Can't fault me for trying to get a piece of that though. Thought I might have a better chance since I travelled to another dimension and helped him save his brothers. He looks at the katana and shakes his head, crossing his arms over his chest. Who uses swords? It's the year-He stops. Well it's almost the year 2000...

Yuri: Too many gay people around here... Where did Trent live again?...(edited)

Coty: Trent's gay. He tried to seduce me into getting into the shower with him.

Nemo: Tried?

Coty: I'm not making excuses. I just didn't want him getting emotionally attached.

Nemo: ...Man you have a terrible on-screen track record with guys, you know that? Even off-screen I threw you across the locker room that one time. He smirks and shakes his head.

Coty: He rolls his eyes. I don't need to be talked down to by a bunch of perma-virgins like you guys.

Nemo: We're not virgins you idiot-

Coty: Everyone that hasn't been with me, hasn't had real sex. That's a fact.

Yuri: Odie, please never turn gay.

Odie: I have a girlfriend now, actually. He looks at Yuri. She's a nurse trainee... Might break up though, she doesn't want to move with me to L.A...

Yuri: I don't want you to move to LA.

Odie: But I've already started going to the police academy, I graduate in a few months, top of my class even.

Nemo: There's nothing in L.A. for you Odie. Trust us.

Odie: He thinks for a moment. ...Did I die or something? Why didn't I travel back in time with you guys? He looks at Yuri.

Yuri: He sighs slowly. ...I killed you.

Odie: ...What?

Nemo: It was more of a combination of him and Lucas. They both kinda killed you. Lucas was so broken up about it he was on thin ice there for a while. He looks at Yuri. It was also my fault... The demon I'm affliated with possessed Lucas and made him do something that forced Yuri's hand.

Odie: ...That sounds convoluted... His katana vanishes.

Yuri: Possessed Lucas found out how to get the Astreiya demon to possess you again. You went straight for me and cornered me in the basement downstairs and... and I panicked. He looks down.

Odie: ...What? He has an obvious look of distress.

Nemo: We really didn't even need to tell him. He shakes his head.

Odie: That thing that possessed me is still out there, somewhere?

Nemo: Not if we find the book and destroy it... That's the great thing about this Odie, we can prevent all the terrible things that happened from ever happening! He smiles.

Odie: He looks to Yuri.

Yuri: It was a really fucked up timeline, Odie... almost everyone died... but now we all have a second chance to make sure nothing like that ever happens again.

Odie: ...Who else died?

Nemo: Ricky died, a few of Yuri's friends died... I think I actually died twice. He stares off in realization.

Yuri: Everything will be different this time... Nemo can control the demon inside him now and I think the Hat Man is gone for good.(edited)

Odie: ...It still feels weird... That I... Died...

Nemo: To be fair you died in my timeline too. Everyone died in that timeline... He sighs. But we're all alive! He smiles.

Coty: He suddenly puts a heavy hand on Odie's shoulder. Look at it this way man, even if you die, these guys will break the future to save you. He pats him a few times. Nothin to worry about, right? He looks to Nemo and Yuri.(edited)

Yuri: It's still weird knowing so much that I shouldn't know... but at the same time I kind of wish I wrote down some lottery numbers...

Coty: ...Shit... Fuck! He sighs. I'm writing down the powerball from now on in case we do this again! Damn it!

Nemo: I'm actually a millionaire again. He rubs his knuckles on his chest, like he's shining them. So uhh, you peasents can be gone from my sight... He pauses. You know what's weird though is I have this awful fucking headache and I really want to strangle you guys, but I'm doing a real good job holding back.

Yuri: He looks at Nemo and blinks a few times.

Odie: Maybe you need a smoke? He raises an eyebrow as he looks at Yuri. Lucas always got violent whenever he'd stop smoking-

Coty: Fucker burned up that whole parking lot at school that one time, I heard he did it because he was trying to quit, makes a lot more sense to me now-

Nemo: Fuuuck that's right I don't have a new body. He looks at Yuri.

Yuri: I wouldn't mind getting a new body... you should start working on that.

Nemo: Why would you want a new body? He looks at Yuri. It's awful, bones are all brittle and I couldn't even lift a car if I wanted... I think even Coty was stronger than me... He looks at Coty and shakes his head, looking away.

Yuri: I'll just start working out with Coty... no big deal.

Coty: I'm just gonna come out and say this, if you tempt me too far I cann't be held liable for my actions.

Nemo: I guess I could make you a new one, anything for my younger bro. He smiles at Yuri smugly.

Yuri: He smiles and then looks over at Odie. You doing alright, man?

Odie: Yeah I guess... It's just, heavy stuff, you know? I always wanted to travel through time... Sucks that I died and missed it... Feel like I've missed out on a whole lot... Like I'm just the side characters from Back to the Future, you know? He sighs a little. Doesn't matter, I'm still happy you're back Yuri, last time I saw you... Well I hadn't seen you since Lucas showed up that one day. He looks at Nemo, then back to Yuri. You know the second you guys left everything fucking sucked? I ended up in a coma from being lashed by hellfire, and the new friends I made turned out to be fucking terrible. I actually hung out with someone that was a bigger loser than you guys for a while... Chris just turned into some... Snake person...

Nemo: He narrows his eyes. We should try to kill Natalya... He looks at Yuri.

Yuri: Natalya? What about Chris? He came out of nowhere in the future and tried killing us all. He looks back at Nemo.

Nemo: I don't think you realize how fucking powerful I am, and fi we resurrect the Prince? I give Rava his old powers back, He looks to Odie. We got the Junior Weeb with us, Coty's rooty-tooty-shooty, Lucas's Dragonbreath, and Ricky's hellfire? He looks back at Yuri. Not to mention Troy is immortal and he's pretty smart on top of that. We could rule Riverside in her place. He looks to Odie. Make it how it should be...

Yuri: Instead of ruling over Riverside we could always just put the Prince back in power and work behind the scenes... oh and we should leave my other brother out of this. Lucas will probably turn into a dragon again if you even mention Ricky's name in any dangerous situation.

Odie: This is weirdly sith-like guys... As bad as Natalya is, she's been a good Prince, for the most part Wildomar has been a safe place to live, no crazy Old God cults, no rogue witches killing our friends, nothing... Murdoc's basically out of a job, and you want to undo that and put the Prince back in power?

Yuri: She's not some normal snake person, she's some ancient woman cursed by a god. She hates all of mankind and wants to take over the world with her snake children.

Nemo: He looks to Odie.

Coty: I'm probably just going to drop out of school to help you guys with this, because school is fuck'n boring compared to the shit I just went through over the last few days.

Nemo: Don't do that. He looks at Coty. You'll have plenty of time to do both. Besides, I'm not even sure if I want you tagging along.

Odie: He looks to Coty, then back to Nemo. So we're going to be running a coup? For lordship over riverside?

Nemo: It has the most hellmouths of anywhere on earth, and she doesn't even know how to use them. I do!

Odie: Shouldn't we be sealing them all up? Why does anyone need to use them at all?(edited)
Footpaw - Today at 4:48 PM
Yuri: Odie's right. We'll seal a few of them and keep the rest for Nemo and the Prince.
Omniance - Today at 4:51 PM
Nemo: If I have the Hellmouths under my sway, nothing like what happened with the Hat Man would ever happen again. He looks at Odie, then Yuri. Understand?
Footpaw - Today at 4:52 PM
Yuri: We're not gonna actually try to take over the world though, right? We're different than Natalya.

Nemo: I don't care about the world, I just care about you and Lucas, and making sure you're safe... Some day, Natalya is going to actually use all of those Hellmouths. He looks to Odie. And we don't be able to stop her... You think it's a good idea to let that happen?

Yuri: He looks back at Odie to see what he says.

Odie: He sighs. ...I suppose not... Man I really wanted to become a police officer... But this seems like a more important calling... He runs his hands through his hair, messing it up.

Yuri: So what should we do first then?

Nemo: We steal that book. He looks to Yuri. As long as she has it, we can't do anything to her, because she has all the answers.

Yuri: Do you think those sigils can boost my invisibility?

Nemo: Fuck yeah I do. He looks to Odie. They can boost any demonic power to levels well beyond what you'd be capable of otherwise.

Odie: Like how Leo could use hellfire?

Nemo: Yes.

Odie: So you're the reason I was put into that coma...

Nemo: Chris is the reason.

Odie: He looks down and away.

Yuri: Chris is the reason you were in a coma?

Odie: He followed after Leo because he's an overconfident idiot, that didn't know what he was doing. I warned him, several times, to turn back. Then I tried to get us out of the situation and Leo lashed my spine with a hellfire whip... I was put into a coma for a few days before they used some healing tonic to revive me... It was awful.

Yuri: He turns invisible suddenly.

Odie: He looks around for Yuri.

Nemo: We don't have to start this right away if you guys need more time to think about it...

Yuri: He reappears after a moment. He's holding a clipboard with a blank paper on it. He quickly starts writing down names.
As everyone gathers around Yuri they can see the list of names is several at this point. At the top is Natalya's name, surrounded in skulls.
Yuri: We're doing this...

Nemo: But we're leaving Lucas and Ricky out of it. He looks to Odie. Alright? We shouldn't even tell him.

Odie: I guess, yeah...

Nemo: Can you think of anyone else that could help us? I'm going to start making calls, gathering resources.

Odie: ...I could ask my brother maybe, I don't think he likes Chris very much... Tate could help?

Coty: That little emo kid from school?

Odie: He's a witch, not a great one. He looks back to Coty for a minute. But we could keep him in mind since his sister was incredibly powerful.

Nemo: This is going to be a huge undertaking. We're going to need everyone we can get, and use their strengths to help us. He looks down at Yuri's list. I'm not going to sit around and watch the world pass me by for a third time... I realise now that we don't earn our happy ending. We seize it from those are keeping it from us.
