Chapter 24

"No."

"What about Pogo?"

"He's... He's dead, too." Y/N answered, struggling to accept what she had seen a while ago.

"What?"

"Vanya killed him." Luther chimed in.

"But Vanya wouldn't–"

"No, I saw it. Just before we got out." Luther replied. Number Eight looked down in grief. 

"Mom. Now Pogo." Diego croaked as he trembled that he need to sit down. His sister, Y/N sat beside him and put her arm around him in a comforting way. She grieved with him in silence.

Suddenly, they heard Five's voice call them out. "Guys. This is it. The apocalypse is still on. The world ends today." He announced. All of them– excluding Y/N– were in disbelief. Called it. The girl thought to herself.

"I thought you said it was over." Luther piped up.

"I was wrong, okay?" The boy admitted, showing the newspaper in his hand. "This newspaper, I found it in the future the day I got stuck. The headline hasn't changed." He pointed out.

Diego wasn't convinced, "No, that doesn't mean anything. The time could've been altered since that newspaper came out this morning."

"You're not listening to me." Number Five was getting frustrated, "When I found it, I assumed this place came down along with everything else. But here we are. The Moon's still shining and the Earth us in one peace, but not the Academy."

Klaus was having a hard time processing it. So he snatched the newspaper from Five, "I'm confused."

"Then listen to me, you idiot!" Number Five barked, "Vanya destroys the Academy before the apocalypse." He sighed before continuing, "I thought Harold Jenkins was the cause, but he was the fuse. Vanya is the bomb."

"Vanya causes the apocalypse." Number Eight concluded.

"We have to find her." Luther said.

Suddenly, the whirring of a helicopter was heard along with the sirens of police cars. The light was pointing at them. They couldn't help but squint and block their eyes from it. "We gotta go, now." Diego informed.

"Regroup at the Super Star. Go!"

With that, they parted their ways. All of them ran except for Five and Y/N. The boy took her hand and had her warped with him.

The bowling ball clashing with the pins could be heard in the background. Other people cheered even though a kid only got to hit a few of them.

The whole Academy circled around a bench after they put on their bowling shoes unwillingly. "Look, I hate to be the one saying this, but everyone needs to prepare." Luther addressed.

"For what?" Diego asked.

"To do whatever it takes to stop Vanya." Luther earned a light but harsh slap on his chest from Allison and a smack on the back of his head from Y/N using her telekinesis.

The big man sighed, "We may not have a choice."

"Bullshit." Diego exclaimed, "There's always options."

"Yeah, like what?" Five questioned.

"I don't know." Diego replied.

"Look, whatever we do, we need to find Vanya." The girl chimed as she stood up, "Immediately."

"Where? She could be anywhere." Luther remarked.

Klaus opened up the newspaper he was holding. And just as he heard Luther's remark, his eyes landed on a picture with Vanya's face on it including an announcement about her concert. "Or... here." He pointed out, "Look at this."
