A/N: nearing the end of ephemeral ! Enjoy :D

Olivia's POV:

Theo lets out a growl, taking a step closer to the Surgeon. "Let him go."

"You have the entitlement and narcissism typical of your generation." The Surgeon monotonously mocked. "In that, you are a profound success."

Mason lets out a scream, causing us to turn and see Liam snatch his hands away from the syringe with a panicked expression.

"Scott, I-I can't get it out. I don't know what to do." He worriedly says, frantically looking between Scott and I. "What do I do?" Scott crouches down to Mason's level but I stand my ground with a glare.

"But your failure taught us one thing." The Surgeon continued to say. "The banality of evil. That you were and would always be an ordinary evil."

Theo clenched his fists. "You think I'm ordinary?"

"We believed that to resurrect the perfect killer we had to start with the perfect evil." He says before he tilts his head towards Phoebe and Mason's direction. "From you we learned true evil only comes by corrupting something truly good.

"Not something." I whisper as I worriedly look behind at Phoebe and Mason. "Someone."

Theo growls and lunges towards the Pathologist but I look at the Geneticist, seeing as it began to make its way over to Phoebe.

I flick my wrists and tackle the Geneticist away, driving her backward so her back would slam against the wall.

The Geneticist slams their head against mine, causing me to lose my grips but I strike a punch against the head which earns a loud clang.

She grabs the back of my jacket with her hands then repetitively slams her knee against my chest. I barely get a glimpse of Phoebe trying to charge towards the Geneticist from side and instantly, I'm thrown in the same direction and crash against Phoebe.

I roll off of Phoebe as she weakly rubbed the side of her head, but the sounds of Mason's screams causes us to look up and see him push himself off of the ground. He rips out the plug from his neck, allowing it to clatter against the container in which my jaw drops at the action.

"Transformation..." The Surgeon trailed off, seeing the black shadows emerge and begin to surround Mason as the rest of us watch in horror. "Transformation without frequency."

"Mason!" Liam worriedly shouts out as he and Scott weakly push themselves up from the floor.

Mason looks up from the floor, the entirety of his eyes now glowing a bright blue. "That's not...my name." He lowly snarled as his form shaped into the Beast, letting out a ferocious roar once the transformation completed.

The Beast backhands me to the side, causing me to be thrown across the room and land in the pile of wood while Phoebe crashes on the other side.

The Geneticist body rolls in front of me and I look down, seeing the blood begin to seep out from the inside of her mask in which I slap my hand over my mouth with a gasp.

I look back at the Beast and watch in horror as he grabs ahold of the Pathologist and lifts him in the air in a choke-hold before tearing his head off of his body. The head rolls across the room until it stops by Theo's and the Surgeon's feet.

"O-Oh my god." Liam stammered.

Before Theo could move away, the Beast harshly throws him to the staircase in which Phoebe quickly runs to his side.

The Beast corners the Surgeon but the Dread Doctor remained still, almost as if he was making his final observation. "Success."

The Beast lets out a roar before plunging its claws in the Surgeon's abdomen before dragging him outside.
