(The next morning, the sibling all woke up sick, but went about their normal day anyway until strange things started to happen. Luther's body changed back into a gorilla like form, Diego's precision and aim enhanced tremendously, Five started teleporting  uncontrollably. Around noon, they all met back up at the academy, and like every other Hargreaves gathering, there was a lot of screaming involved. Viktor was the last to arrive.) 

Viktor: Someone explain what the hell is going on here quick. 

Five: Well, Viktor, that's what we're all trying to figure out. 

Luther: Oh God, Don't look at me. 

Diego: No one's blaming you, Luther. 

Luther: No! I mean, don't look at me! I'm hideous. 

Five: At least you're back to your old self. Alright! The rest of us feel like someone injected motor oil in our veins. 

Klaus: It's so strange. Because I, for once, feel fantastic. 

Lila: Yeah? Well, you think you got problems? Look at this!

Diego: Oh wait. No!

(Lila's eyes start shooting out lazers and everyone ducks as she moves around the room.) 

Luther: Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey! Not inside! 

(Lila stops and goes to apologize until it starts up again.)

Luther: Turn it off. 

Lila: I don't know how.

(It stops and Lila sighs in relief and looks at all the damage she caused.) 

Lila: Oh, sorry about that. 

Five: be careful. 

Diego: How do you do that? 

Lila: A gun to my head, I couldn't tell you. 

(Luther starts complaining about the paintings but Viktor gets annoyed.) 

Viktor: I want answers now!

(Viktor starts using his power without even realizing it and everyone gets nervous but everything goes silent when Ben walks in, dragging one of his tenticles behind him.)

Ben: Realx, Kodiak Jack. It was me. I know you're all to terminally emo to do what had to be done, so I made the executive decision and spiked your sake with Marigold.

Five: Why am I not surprised? 

Viktor: You had no right to do that, asshole!

Ben: Oh, trust me, you'll thank me later. 

Viktor: Yeah, or I'll kick your ass right now. 

Ben: Oh yeah. Now, that I would love to see. 

(He plops down on the couch, making Allison move.) 

Diego: What is with the tails? 

Ben: I don't know. They won't go back in! 

(Luther pokes one of the tenticles and it hits him in the face.)

Luther: Oh! God. Why is it cold? 

Lila: The real question is, why would you touch it? 

Ben: Forget about my tails alright? I haven't felt this good in years. Maybe you guys need to take some more. 

(He holds up the marigold.)

Five: Okay, you know what? Give me that. 

Allison: Hold on, Klaus, why aren't you sick? 

Klaus: Well because one sake bomb is too many and a thousand is just never enough. 

Allison: You didn't drink it. 

(Klaus shook his Head and Viktor starts shouting.)

Viktor: Do you realize what you've done?! 

(Viktor starts to hit Ben while Diego and Luther try and pull him off)

???: ENOUGH! 

(Everyone stumbles back as squid ink squirts out of Ben's chest. They all look into the darkness, where the voice was coming from when a women emerged. A women they all recognized immediately. One they hadn't seen in 6 years.) 

All: Y/n...
