"Look, he's right. We leave, we die." Jack agreed with the American doctor.

"Jameson, make us an escape, we'll need it later." Marvin directed.

The mute ego nodded in understanding before melting through the seamless prison with the laser, the process slow and tedious.

"How can he do that?" Jack whispered in awe as he watched him work.

"He's from some steam punk dimension where he has magic abilities. Because of that, no one there likes him except-"

Chase broke off once Jameson broke through the wall, leaving a decent sized hole for them to escape through.

Jameson covered the hole back just as Anti and Dark returned, two familiar figures with them.

One was Google and the other was a man with a bright pink mustache and faded suspenders.

Jameson's expression brightened at the sight of the pink mustached male, darting up to the glass and pressing a hand against it.

"Jameson? Why did you two capture him?!" The man demanded as he rushed up to the glass and pressed a hand against the glass that separated him from Jameson.

"I told you Wilford, he and his friends were getting in our way." Dark explained with a tinge of annoyance in his tone.

"Dark-"

"Look, Will, I respect you a lot. Just trust us, you'll get to have your fun in the city once the demons take over this dimension." Dark interrupted his colleague.

"Can we kill them now? Pretty please?" Anti pleaded to Dark, shooting the dark haired demon his best puppy dog eyes.

"Very well. Do with them as you please, then open up the portal to connect this dimension with ours." Dark directed sternly.

Anti clapped his hands together giddily as he strode towards the bullet proof prison.

"Now!" Mark barked, sending everyone trapped inside scrambling out of the escape route Jameson had created.

"Are you all really that stupid?" Anti laughed as he simply waved his wand, creating a portal that dumped them onto the roof of the Stratosphere.

Jack's breathing quickened as he scrambled to his feet, panic quickly taking hold as Anti twirled the wand in his hand.

"Jim." James whispered, clearly scared as he reached for the hand of his twin.

His camera had slid off of the tower and was falling to shatter onto the ground, leaving him with nothing to hold onto.

Jim squeezed James's hand reassuringly as they got to their feet, wary of the demon circling around them like how a lion would trap their prey.

"My, so many options of who to kill next." Anti mused as his gaze swept over the YouTubers.

"Mark,"

Anti ruffled his hair as he walked by, earning a scowl from the dark haired gamer.

"Amy,"

Amy flinched as Anti walked past, praying he would leave her alone.

"Chase,"

"Fuck off." Chase spat defensively.

"Ah, we have a winner then!" Anti exclaimed as he waved his wand, creating a gun in Chase's hand.

Before he could fire at Anti, the demon used the wand to control Chase's arm and make him aim the barrel of the pistol at his own head.

He sucked in a deep breath, but made no other sound as his finger unwillingly fingered the trigger.

"Stop!" Jack yelled.

His cry was drowned out by the sound of a single gunshot that sent Chase to the floor, blood pooling from his head as his eyes stared lifelessly at the horizon.

"Now, who's next?" Anti prompted.

He scanned the remaining faces around him, relishing in the fear, despair, and anger that was radiating off of them in waves.

There was only Mark, Amy, Signe, Jack, Chase, Dr. Iplier, Jameson, Jim, and James left.

"Hmm..." Anti trailed off as he lifted Jack's chin up with the top of his knife so he could look him in the eyes.

"You."

Without warning, Anti shoved Jack with enough force to send him flying off of the building, his mouth open in a silent scream as he fell back towards his death.

Everyone was panicking as time seemed to move in slow motion for Jack, his arms flailing as he fell rather ungracefully through the air.

The air was filled with screams and laughter as Jameson closed his eyes, releasing a long slow breath.

"Stop."

And the world listened.

With that one word, Jameson opened his blue eyes to find time frozen around him.

He waltzed over to the edge of the building and peered down, spotting Jack's body frozen mid-flail with an expression of terror on his paler than usual face.

He pictured himself at the Brighton pier and arrived back in time before Jackaboy-Man had died, grabbing the hero before he could protest and taking him back into his own time before finding Schneep and saving Chase.

Only once Jameson was certain that everyone was okay did he resume the flow of time.

The sound of Anti's laughing and Signe's sobbing filled the air once more, the others stunned into silence.

The dapper ego abruptly staggered and fell to the ground, drained from the feat he had accomplished as he passed out.

Only he had forgotten Jack was still falling.

"Vhat zhe fuck happened?" Schneep exclaimed in confusion as he looked around him, unsure of how he had gotten where he was.

Jackaboy-Man seemed just as confused, yet he didn't have much time to adjust to his surroundings when he spotted Jack falling to his death.

The hero started to run towards him, only to pause when he saw Marvin possessed as Anti march towards his friends with an army of his own consisting of a heartless automaton, a crazy killer, and two bloodthirsty demons.

Should he save Jack first and help his friends later?

Or

Help his friends first and save Jack later?
