As the world ends


It might have been the worst decision they've ever made to attack their sister, whose power was still unknown to the rest of the world.

White energy tentacles held the five Hargreeves siblings in the air while suckling their lives away.

In an effort to catch the girl's attention, Five laboriously exhaled "Eight" grunting each letter of the girl's name. Given that she was a speedster with so many super abilities that none of them possessed, perhaps Number Seven was most fortunate when she was drawing energy from her.

"Light..ning.." The boy grumbled, his body immobilized, his eyes searching for the girl.

The problem was that the girl had never thrown lightning before, therefore she had no idea how it would effect Vanya or herself. She also didn't want to hurt anyone if she didn't have to. Nevertheless, she immediately grasped what he meant.

They were her family.

The girl struggled to free her hand from the white power chains that were engulfing her body as she hoped the boy's scheme wouldn't fail, gasping in agony as she did so.

She just had one shot to succeed at this.

She shut her eyes and concentrated on the last bit of energy that Number Seven hadn't yet absorbed inside of her, which was tying her thoughts to every particle moving through her body.

Even though she could only see total darkness, she felt purple lightning sparks cover her body as her energy accumulated externally rather than internally.

The girl directed her remaining electric energy through the hand she had previously freed, sending purple sizzles spiraling down Vanya's energy drainer at full speed. 

Hitting the woman's white aura and causing her to break the connection between herself and all of her siblings, dropping them to the ground, the woman then fell unconscious as the remaining of her energy blasted through the open roof.

Eight groaned in anguish, unable to stand like the others.

"Eight, you did it." Five kneeled next to the girl, lifting her head up as he smiled.

"I did?" The girl smiled weakly. "Vanya? Is Vanya okay?" her smile was quickly replaced with worry plastering her face, trying her hardest to get up so she could check on her sister.

"Yeah. We're all alive." Five continued smiling, helping her stand.

"We did it. We saved the world." Luther panted.

"Yeah, take all the credit moon monkey" Eight rolled her eyes, limping over to the rest of the family with Five's help, holding her by her waist as he guided her.

"I'm proud of you." Five whispered to the girl, kissing her cheek.

She blushed hard, her ears warm red at the gesture, smiling like an idiot at his words.

"Uh.. Guys? You see that big Moon rock coming towards us?" Klaus exhaled, pointing up at the sky, getting everyone's attention.

"That's not good" Luther sighed, his eyes fixated on the flaming rock getting close to earth.

"Vanya's energy wave must've hit the moon and it exploded." Eight looked at Five, both of them trying to find a reasonable explanation.

"That must be the reason for the apocalypse." the girl mumbled under her breath.

"So this is it, huh? So much for...saving the world." Number Four said, his head hanging low as he played with his dog tags.

Five and Eight walked away from the family, both of them trying to find a solution to their problem.

They've come too far to die like this.

"There's millions of parts falling at the same time, no way in hell would I ever stop them all. They're too fast for me." Eight breathed out.

"No. I won't let you sacrifice yourself just like that." Five exhaled, his hands gripping his hair in distress, stomping in circles as he tries to think.

"Do you think we could possibly use your time travel? I don't have much energy left but I can share so all of us could go through" The girl proposed her idea.

"You're a genius." Five exhaled, his eyes bright again as he looked at her.

"This doesn't have to be the end." He said, turning over to the rest of the family to tell them the plan.

"What? What are you saying, Five?"

"We think we have a way outta here. But you gotta trust us on this." The boy stated, his voice a little hesitant.

"Yeah, I don't think so."
"No."

"Well, then, we might as well accept our fate, because in less than a minute,we're gonna be vaporized." Eight sighed, looking up at the falling rock getting too close to them.

"What's your idea, then?" Diego asked.

"We use my ability to time travel. But this time, with the help of Eight, I'll take you with me." The boy explained his idea.

"You can do that?"

"We don't know. We've never tried it before." Eight breathed out, answering the question honestly.

"What's the worst that can happen?" Diego asked sarcastically.

"You're looking at it. Two 85-year-olds in teenage bodies" Five threw his arms up, pointing at himself and Eight.

"So, there's that." The girl scoffed.

"Oh, what the hell? I'm in."
"Yeah, whatever. I'm in."
"Me too. Allison?"
"What about Ben?"
"Great, yeah, he's in."

"Okay, great. Luther, grab Vanya" Five instructed."Wait, should we be taking her?" the man asked, scooping up the unconscious woman into his arms.

"I mean, if she's the cause of the apocalypse.Isn't that like taking the bomb with us?" he continued.

"The apocalypse will always happen. And Vanya will always be the cause, unless we take her with us and fix her." the boy said while taking Eight's hand.

Eight stood in front of Five and faced him while the rest of the family swiftly formed a circle around them, gripping Five's shoulders and linking their hands together.

Eight inhaled deeply and closed her eyes to refocus on the source of her energy so she could share.

They didn't do this often, so they lacked experience and had to make do with what they could salvage at the time.

Above the family, a dark blue portal opened, filling their ears with a whooshing sound as the wind howled.

"It's working. Hold on, it's gonna get messy." said Five, before the dark blue vortex swallowed the Hargreeves family, disappearing before the whole world burned up in flames.

A/N: so, season 1 is over, season 2 work in progress. I'll probably continue in this same book, I just feel like starting a new boom would just add more work than I am willing to do haha :)

I hope you liked the first season, don't be afraid to leave comments, I'm open to criticism. Have a great day :)
