"Matt... Somethings calling me to that box." I say. "Let's open it together, yeah? That way if anything happens, it isn't just you." He says. We walk over, and we open then box. "There's a note. What's it say?" I ask as Matt picks up the note. " Warning Rune." He says. "Warning Rune... Warning Rune... That's a song! But, it isn't one by RE. Why would that be here?" I realize. "Maybe it's some kind of side quest that'll help us. Like the Lazarus Box. Do you know the song?" He asks. "It's the theme for season four of Escape the Night. I memorized it." I respond. "We found something that might help us. But, it's an entire song, so everyone has to quiet down a bit. YN, you ready?" Matt addresses. "Yeah. Let me get the tune in my head... Got it." I say, nodding my head to the best of the tune in my mind.

"Should've come alone
I ain't messin' with my throne
Gotta keep you at a distance

Trying to roll my name wide
Play a wicked game
Welcome to your Warning Rune

Trust me and I'll keep you safe
Under a glass in my museum
Find me and you'll feel my rage
And a hunting dark maze

This is your Warning Rune
Warning Rune, hey, hey
Your Warning Rune

Trust me and I'll keep you safe
This is your Warning Rune, hey, hey

Your friends will pay a toll
While I gather all their soul
You're the reason they are here

You may think escape
But the evils got a hold
You can never go and leave

Trust me and I'll keep you safe
Under a glass in my museum
Find me and you'll feel my rage
And a hunting dark maze

This is your Warning Rune
Warning Rune, hey, hey
Your Warning Rune

Trust me and I'll keep you safe
This is your Warning Rune, hey, hey..."

I notice a stone in my hand. "The Guardian Angel Stone. And a note?" I murmur. "Place this stone to your forehead, and choose the characteristics of one guardian angel wisely. Everyone will know your decision, for your outfit will change to their uniform." I murmur. I bring it up to my forehead. I see Nikita and Matt, and my mind thrusts toward Matt. I feel the sleeves of my tank top extend, and leather over the majority of my arms. "YN? What's happening to you?" Nathan asks. "I'm fine Nathan. Did anyone find anything?" I ask, realizing that I was on platform. I quickly jump off and Matt rushes toward me. "I saw the stone. What happened?" He asks. "Well, it was you or Nikita, and no one wants a complete A-hole. Now, let's get to work! We need to get out of here!" I say. I look at the bricks on the wall, and see one that sticks out a bit. "Who's tall... Sean? Can you lift me up?" I ask. He runs over and I get on his shoulders. I press in the brick and jump off his shoulders, seeing a door open. "I-it looks like... It..." I stutter. I shake my head. "What do you see?" I ask. "I see the outdoors. Why?" Midnight says. "It's a trap. It's not the outdoors. Watch this." I say, and Matt throws a chipped piece of brick in. "Told you." We both say as a gun shoots the rock. I have Sean lift me up and I close the door. I see a note on the door, and Mark takes it. "Sing the chorus of a song all of you are in." He reads. "Trick question. There isn't." I say. "Okay, we cannot have two Matts! Turn back to your regular self somehow." AJ exclaims, pointing at me. "I don't know how to do that. Besides, I think you'd want two Matts rather then an angry Nikita." I say. "I agree. Nikita can be awful. If you got in her way, she'd kill you in a heartbeat." I look around, blocking out everyone. Someone touches my shoulder, and I hit his arm with my hand. I look and see that it was Alex, who voiced the dragons. "Sorry! Reflex! I was examining the room a bit. Do you think you could lift me up to that sign up there?" I ask. It's hard being a teenager, trapped in room with a bunch of your idols, and staying calm. "Sure. Geez a weeze that hurt though." He says. "Sorry. My parents used to joke that I had arms like knives." I laugh. "Used to?" Dodger asks, coming up behind us. "It's not important. Just- just lift me up." I stutter. "Your lying YN. What's wrong?" Matt observes as Alex lifts me up. I grab the two notes that were up there, and come down. "It's nothing Matt." I say, walking away from the group to observe the notes. "Why won't you come to us? Why do you walk away from us?" Matt says. "Because it's my fault you all are here!" I scream. I silence falls over the room, just my voice echoing. "At least, that's what my mind tells me." I say, breaking the silence. I open the note. "In Web of Lies, what did Phone Guy say as a synonym for irrecoverably?" I mumble. "Crud. I didn't watch that musical yet. Phone Guy was MatPat in the main Five Night Musical, so he might know. But, I just yelled at them all, and they probably don't want to help me. It's me versus my Idols right now, and it's the worst thing that could happen. I'm just a stupid, ugly, horrible, orphan girl who was lucky to reprogram her phone to run without charge." I say, not aware of the people behind me. "Hey, don't beat yourself up like that." I hear from Mark. "M-mark. You... You heard that?" I ask, embarrassed. "Yes. Yes I did. Is that what you meant by used too?" He asks. I nod quietly. "Now, I wasn't in Web of Lies, but I know Matt was. Your theory's right with that. Let's go ask him." Mark says, grabbing my wrist gently. "Mark, I just yelled at them for no good reason. They don't want to talk to me. I'll just figure the clue out on my own." I say. "But, it's a team effort. So, what's this clue?" Nathan says, appearing over my shoulder. "Why are you over here? I'm nothing. A waste of space." I say. "But your not. Your lucky Phone Guy isn't here. Anything he wants to hide he'd burn to ash." Matt laughs, then gives me a smile. "As in Burned to Ash! That's the answer to the first riddle." "And YN, your a bit louder than you think. Everyone heard you talking to yourself. Why did you tell us you are an orphan?" Midnight asks. "Well, say you just lost your job, and you get a new one a few days later. But, the twist is, you don't tell your husband or wife. It's like that. You don't really want them to know you lost it, so you move on from it, hiding it." I say. "But parents are so much bigger than say, a job. I'd give YouTube up in a heartbeat to give you a home, and so would everyone else." AJ says. I turn around to look at the note. "How could one resist?" I murmur. Matt looks over my shoulder. We both share a grin, and sing it together. "How could one resist this perfectly pristine, eco-friendly, patent-pending, Bendy Ink Machine." I see AJ's face light up. "I think I know why your here."
