*sobs quietly*

3rd person's POV

Everyone walked back up to the surface, leaving the dead aliens behind. The unconscious members of the Keyfinders woke up shortly after. Everyone was celebrating the victory, and having a blast out in the courtyard area. One of the shadow figures had brought a radio and some large speakers, and were blasting beats. South Korea took over as main dj, turns out, he was really good at it.

The Readers were chatting with the Keyfinders, asking questions and the like. People were complimenting Cookie on his alien cookies, they were actually quite delicious. And as for drinks...

...Let's just say Russia handled that.

A conversation about the school started up.

"So, was this school made as a power harvester? That's kinda dark." Said Shadow.

An0n was nearby when she heard this, so she answered. "Actually, the aliens crashed here two weeks before school started. The real teachers are hidden somewhere in the building. I'm not sure wh-"

"FOUND 'EM!!!" Cried out Pheonix. The Readers and Keyfinders left the party for a bit to go investigate.

Pheonix had been messing around with the statue of Pangaea in the fountain, when they discovered that Pangaea was wearing a key-shaped pendant. Naturally, Pheonix poked it.

The bottom of the fountain had dropped away, swiveling on some ancient mechanism. The Readers and Keyfinders now perched around it's rim, curiously staring into the dark abyss.

Ukraine shot a beam of light.

There, at the bottom of the pit, was a small rocky island. Chained up on it were the cold, wet, and starving teachers. The real teachers looked up at them shivering, squinting their eyes to adjust to the blinding light. An alien casually walked around the corner and spied them. The alien hardly had time to react before Russia froze an ice-spear and penetrated the alien through its heart.

America and NSW took turns with shapeshifting and flying the poor bedraggled teachers out of the wet pit. When they were done, the teachers thanked them for their efforts gratefully.

As soon as the last teacher was brought out of the secret hole under the fountain, a rumbling was heard. The Readers, Keyfinders, and author sprinted towards the noise, just barely catching a glimpse of a UFO rising above the treeline, before speeding off into the distance. Several of the Readers cursed.

"What are we going to do, An0n?" Asked Cookie.

"Don't worry," She replied, squinting at the fading traces of the UFO containing Ari. "I have a feeling that's not the last we will see from him. Next time, he won't be so lucky to escape."

An0n turned and sighed. She faced the Readers. "Well, friends, thank you for coming to our rescue. Without you, this book would have had a very different ending. Unfortunately, your time here is up. You must return to your side of the fourth wall. However, I also have a feeling that we might need you again, so take this." She handed each of them a key-shaped pendant. They all put it on.

"When you wish to travel through the fourth wall again, use this key to unlock it. You will come back to the active world you used it on, and will retain all of your powers and abilities that you had here. You can also appear as a character for a brief amount of time if I should need it. You can also use these to interact with all of the characters in the active world, not just Japan here."
