To Save Us Tim Burton 9 3&4 X OC Alexis/10

Saving the Others

Later the group is then waiting as they made a makeshift funeral for the others while 9 is holding the talisman. Just as 9 is about to do the sequence Alexis quickly stops him spotting something on the talisman.

"9 wait please." Alexis says.

"What is it Alexis? We have to set their souls free." 9 says as he looks at her.

"But what if we could bring them back to their old selves?" Alexis asks getting everyone's attention.

"What do you mean?" 9 asks.

"9 look at the back of the talisman. I saw a place that looks like a key hole." Alexis says as 9 does as she tells him seeing the key hole.

"Alexis I'm sure it's nothing." 7 says.

"But I'm sure it is. Look." Alexis says as she opens her front and pulls out a metal part that looks like it will fit into the talisman before closing her front back up.

"Where did you get that?" 9 asks.

"It was with me when I awoke. It was with a piece of paper that had my name on it. I had asked 2 about it and he said it was something special that likely went to something and told me to keep it safe. 6 knew about it as well and told me to protect it. I never truly understood what that paper meant or this key till now." Alexis says.

"Alexis did this piece of paper say to save them?" 9 asks.

"Yes why?" Alexis asks as she looks at him.

"It had the same symbols on the talisman on the back but in a different order that said save them. I saw it when i was in the first room. It had your name on it. Could it be possible that that key will bring them back?" 9 asks.

"But what if it doesn't?" 7 asks as the twins give them concerned looks.

"But 7 we owe it to them to try. I don't think the scientist would of left it with instructions if it wasn't meant to help us. Please we have to try. What else have we got to loose?" Alexis asks as 7 nods hesitantly before Alexis gives the key to 9 as he puts it into the talisman with a perfect fit before then doing the sequence and placing the talisman on the ground. The group then back away before seeing their friends souls come out one by one and return to their old stitchpunk selves.

"They're back!" Alexis shouts happily.

"We're alive?" 5 asks as Alexis runs over hugging him, 2, and 6.

"How are we even here?" 1 asks.

"Well the person you said wouldn't help us just saved your lives." 7 says as 1 and 8 look at Alexis.

"I think you owe someone an apology." 5 says as he smiles.

"Oh forget the apology I'm just happy everyone is alright." Alexis says as 9 and 7 smile.

"Well that's all well and good but there's still the matter of where we're going to live." 1 says as 8 nods in agreement with him.

"1 has a point. What happens next?" 7 asks.

"I'm not sure exactly. But this world is ours now. It's what we make of it." 9 says.
