Once getting to a safe distance the group see the factory is completely destroyed.

"Good riddance." 1 says.

"It's done." 5 says as they look back to see the twins playing a record on a record player they found.

"Now this is a lovely site Alexis." 7 says as she climbs up to the top of the record player on the arm.

"That this is." Alexis says happily as she laughs watching the others as the twins try to scare 7 but she scares them instead before they come over to Alexis trying to get her to dance with them trying to follow their lead.

"Sound. Sound. Sound." 6 says as he talks into the speaker causing Alexis to laugh slightly at the site before feeling something placed into her hair like fur as she then pulls it out seeing it is a small paper flower.

"Did you two make me this?" Alexis asks as she looks at the twins as they nod shyly causing her to hug them as a thank you while enjoying the celebrating with the others as 5 chases after a record.

"Ahh! The machine! Everybody! The machine! Run away! Ahh!" 5 shouts as he comes running over before everyone then sees the machine behind him as it then grabs him.

"No!" 9 shouts as he is then stopped from running over by 1.

"There's nothing we can do!" 1 shouts as he holds 9 back.

"5 no! Please no!" Alexis shouts as she starts to take off running over for 6 to grab her and keep her back as they all then watch in horror as 5's soul is taken from him and his body is dropped to the ground.

"To the bridge!" 1 says as everyone makes a run for the bridge as 7 is pulling 6 along before he breaks away from her and tries to go back toward the machine before 9 is pulling him back.

"They're trapped! They're trapped inside!" 6 shouts.

"6 come on!" 9 shouts as he and 7 pull 6 along while they run onto the bridge before it starts to break due to the weight of the machine is it hangs onto a rail to keep from falling. 7 then starts to try to cut the rail.

"No! Stop! You mustn't destroy it!" 6 shouts as he runs over to 7.

"Get away 6!" 7 shouts.

"You mustn't destroy it! Don't destroy it! They're trapped! They're trapped! They're inside! they're inside!" 6 shouts as he goes over to 7 as the bridge begins to collapse as 6 is grabbed by the machine as it gets to safety on the cliff. Alexis sees this as 7 and 9 come running over off the bridge as she tries to run towards the machine only to get grabbed back by 7.

"No let me go! I won't lose anybody else. Please let me go!" Alexis shouts as she tries to get away from 7 wanting to help 6.

"There's nothing you can do for him now 10." 7 says as Alexis stops struggling before giving her a fearful and sad look.

"Go back! To the first room! He'll show you! the source!" 6 shouts as the machine then steals his soul before dropping his body into the cliff.

"It must be destroyed." 1 says as he looks over at the machine while it is hanging onto the cliff.

"No. No we can't. Didn't you hear him? They're trapped inside. We can still save them." 9 says as everyone looks at him.

"What? how?" 7 asks with disbelieve.

"We have to find the source. It holds the answer." 9 says.

"We need to destroy it." 7 says.

"7 is right 9. That thing has taken too many of our friends. I won't let it get away with what it's done." Alexis says angrily.

"But there's still a chance." 9 says as they hear the machine trying to get back up the other side of the cliff.

"We're out of time." 1 says seeing this.

"9 they're gone." 7 says.

"Your wrong." 9 says as begins to run off.

"9!" 7 shouts as 9 leaves.

"Let him go." 1 says.
