The Umbrellas had finally done it. They had finally defeated the commission and the handler and could now return home(back to 2019 that is*).
But what if the 2019 that they had returned to was a different 2019? At first this new timeline may have se...
*P. S:This chapter may contain some mild violence. *

Strike!!! "Woohoo, Ha in your face Monkey Boy! See I'm way better than you, you sick son of a...." "Diego!", Allison cut in. "There kids here." Allison said, using her eyes to signal to Claire and Five sitting at the side, looking at Diego with a 'What the Hell' look plastered across their faces. Whoops. Diego must have gotten a little too carried away with beating Luther... Now, who was next ? Diego asked himself. "I'll go." Claire said, getting up from her seat, as if reading his mind.
========== *Sigh* Gosh did they look like they were having fun, Five thought to himself.
"Ah so I guess that leaves just the two of us here huh ?" Klaus chuckled as he sat himself in the seat next to Five. Five turned his head towards Klaus. "So Fivey, ..what's the last thing you remember about...well..(Pause) let's say...us(the umbrella academy) ?" *Five let out another great sigh.* Great. Now here we go again... "Well I'm sorry to disappoint you Mr Klaus but other than what happened earlier today..(Pause) Pretty much nothing." As he said that, Five wasn't sure why but he just couldn't help but let out a small smile. "First off, Ouch. " Klaus scrunched up his face in a funny way as he said that. "And second, skip the honorific would you, it's making me feel... well...a little bit old." Five couldn't help but let out a little chuckle. Claire really did have one funny Uncle,he thought. His gaze returned to the sight of Claire laughing with her other uncles, one Auntie and mom. It was clear that Claire was enjoying herself greatly and having a wonderful time bonding with her family. Looking at Claire laughing and having fun with her family reminded Five of his own family. Of how extremely close they once were and how much they had enjoyed each other's company. Which of course made Five feel some form of envy towards Claire. Oh how he wished things could have just returned to how they once were. Especially before that fateful day...
"Look um K..Klaus, after seeing just how nice all of you are, it seems like you all are really good people...So I'm sorry for ever doubting or not trusting any of you to begin with...", Five looked down ashamed. Klaus pat Five gently on his back and smiled as a sign of forgiveness.
Just then, a group of masked men, all carrying guns barged into the bowling centre and looked around, as if looking for someone.
Then, the gunfire started. =========== The next few moments were just a blur. People screaming, bullets flying everywhere, it was just pure utter chaos. "Everyone get down!" Diego shouted.
There were in total five masked men, all certainly heavily armed, or as Diego could make out from behind the stack of bowling balls. Furthermore, it was clear that they were all starting to split up, most likely to find their potential target at a much quicker rate. In fact, two out of the five men were coming in Diego's direction, one in Luther's, one heading off to the left and the other to the right.
As much as he wanted to finish off the rest of the armed 'soldiers' by himself , Diego knew that his siblings would probably take equal pleasure in defeating them. So, Diego returned his attention to the two men that were coming towards him.
As the two men neared, Diego tightened his grip on his knives and waited for an opening. He had to make sure that they would be hit within their blind spot, so as to prevent any 'accidents'. Then, he saw it. There! The two men had turned their heads in a different direction from where Diego was just for a brief moment. Hence, without wasting a single second, Diego launched both his knives, both cutting through the chests of that of the two men. And just like that, the bodies of the two men had fallen down...(both of them were dead). Diego muttered a soft 'yes!' before turning his gaze in Luther's direction.
Now it was Luther's turn. ========= Tap, Tap, Tap... This was the sound of footsteps approaching Luther's hiding spot. As the masked man walked closer and closer towards Luther, Luther was no doubt starting to become more and more frantic. Afterall, this guy had a gun, while Luther was on the other hand becoming somewhat cornered. But then, Luther sparked a bright idea.
"Crack!" Luther had thrown a bowling bowl directly aiming for that man's head. Bullseye! The man's skull must have been crushed, as he fell down almost immediately, dead.
=========== Five's POV: In the distance, I could see three men drop down, probably dead, almost simultaneously. 'Wow that was quick.' I thought to myself. So this was really the supposed well-known Umbrella Academy in action huh. My legs were by no doubt starting to get a little tired from squatting for so long but oh well, I'd much rather remain like this than get shot or something. Hmm, I wonder whether Claire is OK though...
I'm not quite sure what exactly happened next but I must have zoned out (which is quite unusual for someone like me), but the next thing I knew it, I was staring down the shiny black barrel of a gun.
The gun was situated around no more than two inches away from my face and considering how close the gun was, I knew that I would stand little to no chance of escaping in time. Maybe this was really it for me. I closed my eyes, expecting to hear the all so familiar 'bang' sound, preparing myself for what was to come next.
*BANG* I opened my eyes to see what looked like a bright purple energy sphere surrounding me, separating me from the man that had just nearly killed me. I looked towards my left to see a familiar face and let out a sigh of relief. It was Claire. Phew, thank goodness she had made it here in time. Afterall I knew all too well that if she had been only a second too late, I would have been already...
The masked man must have been a little taken aback by the sudden appearance of Claire(probably because of her invisibility powers), that he paused for a brief moment. It was as if he was contemplating how in the world it was possible that a teenage girl had not only seemingly appeared out of nowhere but was also able to block his lead bullets. But alas, it was clear that he was not going to give up until he had his way. So, he continued to fire his gun at us, most likely hoping to somehow break the force field so that he could get to us.
(*Reminder : Claire has the powers of invisibility and the creation of force fields*)
But what he hadn't noticed was that Allison, had crept up from behind him.
"I heard a rumour...that you dropped dead."
And just like that, he had most certainly dropped down, dead.
However, it must have been the collective sound of gunshots that had unfortunately attracted the last masked man towards us.
The fifth masked man was now about no more than four feet away from us. He raised his gun, and pointed it directly at Allison, aiming for the back of her head, getting ready to fire.
"Mom, look out!", Claire shouted.
*Thud* That was the sound of the masked man's dead body as it hit the ground. He had been stabbed at the back of his neck with one of Diego's knives at the very last moment.
========== Five's POV : I didn't want to admit it but... That was cool! So this was what it was like to be alongside the Umbrella Academy on one of their so called missions. No wonder Claire looked up to and admired the Umbrella Academy so much.
Suddenly, a shearing pain shot through my right side. I looked down and gasped to see blood oozing out my right side through what looked like a bullet hole.
Shit.
My vision began to blur and the next thing I knew, I had blacked out. *Thud*.
