59} Welcome To Oblivion

Jenna and Five scrambled through the tunnel behind the others, just in time before the world got sucked up into the Kugelblitz.
"Let's never do that again," Viktor huffed, out of breath.
"What, narrowly escape the apocalypse?" Five asked sarcastically.
"Well," Jenna patted his back, "That is sort of our thing, Babe."
"There's something very wrong about that," Allison gagged looking at the ass of the white buffalo on the wall.
"Same suite, just ass-backward," Lila told her.
"No hyperbole there," Five cringed.
"This is some hardcore Alice in Wonderland shit," Ben acknowledged.
"Yeah, it only gets worse," Diego put his gun at the ready.

Reginald finally ran through and secured the door shut behind him, out of breath, without Klaus.
"At last," Reg sighed, "The other side."
"Where's Klaus?" Jenna asked him while healing the wounds from the final Kugelwave that discreetly covered her body.
"Children, I'm sorry," Reg adjusted his monocle, "But your brother... I did all I could. But he didn't make it through in time. The Kugelblitz has claimed its last victim."
"No, he was right behind me and Jen when we entered the tunnel," Five sneered.
"Yeah," Jenna agreed, "He followed right behind us."
"We need to go back," Sloane said, completely lost without Luther.
"There's nothing to go back to," Reginald announced, "Children, there will be time for tears later. Right now, we have to keep moving," Reg started to leave the room, leaving everyone else behind.

"Wait," Viktor shook his head, "Luther and Klaus?"
Diego lowered his gun, solemnly, and everyone else just stood in silence, mourning the losses in their family.
"What are you dilly dallying for?" Reg peeked his head back into the room, "Come come. Follow me."
Everyone complied and followed him to the elevators and made their way, crammed in, all the way down to the lobby.
"This might not be the right time," Jenna winced, "But at least we don't have Luther's stress farts to worry about again."
Her remark caused everyone, but Ben and Reginald, to chuckle a bit.
"Yeah," Sloane wiped her eyes, "He did get those."
"Last time in the elevator was bad," Diego explained.
The elevator soon dinged and they reached the ground floor. As they slowly filed out, Reggie commented, "It's magnificent."
"You guys should've stayed here," Ben looked around, "This place is way nicer."

"Lila and I barely got out alive last time," Diego tried to humble him, "Remember?"
"Yeah, but I'm here this time," Ben continued on with zero effect from Diego, "And the numbers are in our favor."
"Well, whatever it was," Lila cut their bickering off, "It was strong, fast, and super pissed."
"Alright," Diego led them to the concierge counter, "So, whatever you do, do not ring this bell. Unless you wanna lose a finger or a tentacle."
"I'll take my chances,-" Sloane attempted to ring it, but was blocked by Lila.

"Don't!" She told Sloane.
"Get out of my way," Sloane stood her ground.
"Look, to take out this thing, we need to be in the right state of mind, okay?"
"State of mind?" Allison scoffed.
"So you mean am I angry?" Sloane looked like she was going to break down again, "Yes, I am angry. I wanna kill whatever it is that hurt Luther."

"Luther isn't the only one that's gone," Viktor walked closer to the counter, "We lost Klaus too. I'm angry, okay? We all are."
"Where are you going?" Jenna scrunched up her eyebrows when Five walked away.
"Come on," He motioned for her to follow, which she did out of curiosity.
"We have to be smart about this," Viktor continued on in the background.
"Yeah," Lila agreed, "When the time is right, we'll act."
"Don't even try it, you two," Diego yelled to the couple who was approaching the rotating doors, "Doors won't let you out."
"So, what? We're stuck here?" Allison scoffed, completely fed up.
"This place is a test and a trap," Reg replied, beaming with pride, "And a means of salvation, all at once."
"Does anyone know what that sign says?" Viktor pointed to a small sign next to the bell.
Diego rolled his eyes, "Yeah, it says, 'Do not ring the bell'. That's what that means."
"We get it, Diego," Five walked back over with Jenna, "Bell bad. What do we do? Does anybody know?"
