"The sigil is in the lobby floor!" Number Five yelled over the edge of the balcony to the rest of his family. He was exhausted, his skin was washing into a pale shade of white and his arm was in agony, but he knew he had to keep fighting to keep his family alive.

Number Eight frowned at what Number Five was saying, until she looked at the tiles and noticed exactly what he was talking about. "It's in the stars!"

"Hurry! It's the only way to stop him!" Reginald ordered his children, pointing at the stars.

There was only one star remaining, and Allison was glaring at it despite Reginald's instruction.

"Number Five. Number Eight. Quickly! You two will fit on the one star." He gestured to the two who were standing at the bottom of the stairs before pointing at the star.

"Hold on." Number Five held out his remaining hand to Number Eight before the pair blinked onto the star. As soon as they landed on the remaining point, an electrical energy current surged between each star, connecting the family members together by a crippling pain.
