Markiplier began to slowly and sleepily open his eyes back up, the light coming through the window nearly blinding him. For a moment, he was really disoriented, not knowing if he was even alive or dead. But a second after he opened his eyes, he saw Tyler leaning against the wall by the window. Then, he saw Ethan and Kathryn sleeping in the chairs at the end of the room. Finally, he turned to his left and saw Jack sleeping in the chair next to his bed.

Jack opened his eyes and was happily relieved to see his good pal awake and alright. "Am I alive?" Mark asked, half joking and half checking, making Jack giggle and capturing the others attention. They too were happily relieved to see their friend back.

"Yes Mark, we got the bullets out" Jack smiled, Mark sighting in relief.

But then, he noticed Amy wasn't among the group and started to get worried. "Where's Amy?" he asked.

Jack just smiled and pointed to the bed next to him. Mark turned to see his beloved Amy peacefully sleeping, smiling in relief and at how pretty she looked when she slept. "Believe it or not, she pulled through pretty damm well, even getting the bullets out for you and herself" Tyler informed in astonishment. "That's one hell of a girl you found there Mark" he acknowledged, Mark not taking his eyes off the prettt lady.

"She is that" he smiled. But then, a thought popped into his head. "Wait, and what about William?" he quickly asked.

"He's alive" Tyler answered. "He's upstairs and is being guarded by the police" he informed. "He also has neck and spinal injuries" he added.

Mark was silent for a moment, considering everything that's happened and what he should do now. "Is there any way we can get in there and talk to him?" he asked, shocking the others.

"You wanna talk to him?" Ethan asked in confusion.

"Yea, just to settle some things" he answered.

"But we've got him on everything" Kathryn noted.

"Yea, and not to mention everything he's done to us" Tyler added.

"I know guys, but it's not about that" he noted. "There are just some things I need to sort out with him"

"But Mark, look where we are, look where Amy is" Ethan pointed out.

Mark shut his eyes and averted his gaze for a moment and took a deep breath before responding. "I know what we he did was bad" he nodded before facing back up. "But guys, don't let revenge make this any worse, revenge is the reason we're all here" he stated. "In fact, Will probably wouldn't have even done this if it wasn't for me" he regrettably added. "So please, just lemme speak with him, it's something I need so I can make this better make this better" he urgently pleaded.

The other group members glanced between one another, knowing he was true and he greatly needed this. "Are you sure about this Mark?" Jack asked to make sure, not wanting him to end up regretting this.

"Yes, I'm positive" Mark nodded. The others knew there was no way of convincing him otherwise, so they all agreed to join in and help out.

Wilford Warfstache was lying in his bed with a contraption surrounding his head, supporting his injured neck. There were two officers just outside the closed door, keeping watch as he slept. Wilford opened his eyes at the sound of the window opening, then squinted his eyes at a canon sticking through and shooting a portal at the wall. Just a few minutes after he heard the sound of something flying away, Mark and his friends all stepped through the portal. The Colonel slightly chuffing as they surrounded him, Mark taking the seat next to his bed while the others either stood or sat beside, looking as if they could jump at Warfstache any moment.

"I should've known you would come back for me" he stated in a low, unphased voice. "Go on, mock me, finish me off and have your laugh" he challenged. "That's all this is, is one big practical joke" he added bitterly.

Mark took a deep breath with a sad look before he spoke. "I'm sorry William" he said, surprising his nemesis and even his friends. "I know what really happened to us at the manor, and I know that...thing, whatever it or he is, I know he's been messing with ur head, and I'm so sorry" he apologized again, the others still not knowing where he was going with this. "I let him get the best of me, I ended up helping him escape when I could've, and should've, stopped him" he explained, continuing to catch everyone off guard. "It's my fault all of this happened to you Will, I should've handled all of this much better then I did, but I'm going to make it right" he stated promisingly, William looking more surprised then the others. "I don't know what that thing is or why he's doing this, but I promise I'm not gonna stop until I find out and find a way to stop him" he stated assuringly, William easily telling that he was telling the truth and never once expected to see this side of him. "You take care of yourself Will" he kindly wished before standing to leave the room, closely followed by his friends.

This had left Will in confusion, and amazement. Everything he knew about Mark, everything he was told about him, didn't come close to adding to this. This was something he had never seen from him before, and never expected to either. Mark was really much better then what Wilford gave him credit for. "Mark wait!" he quickly stopped him before he left. "You won't be able to stop him" he urgently warned.

Mark's eyebrows went up in surprise and suspicion. "Can't stop who?" he asked, going back by his bed. Will had a horrified, hesitant look on him, but had enough courage to respond.

"Darkiplier" he stated fearfully. Mark furrowed his brow as he and the others traded glances. "It's what he calls himself, Darkiplier" he confirmed. "He planned all of this, he and that....other one, that looks like you" he gestured to Jack.

"Wait, you saw him too?" Jack asked in shock.

"Yes, he was in on it" Will replied. "The plan was for him to force you two to kill each other, or at least tear you apart, and then the Apocalypto soldiers, or me, would finish you off" he informed.

"What's his name?" Jack asked.

"He calls himself, Anti" he informed. "I don't know if it's always been that way, but it's short for Antiseptic, or Antisepticeye" he added informally, Jack finally feeling some relief in finally knowing something about his archnemesis. "But he wasn't the one calling the shots, he's too crazy for that" he noted.

"And this....Darkiplier is the one who's been pulling all of the strings?" Mark asked.

"Yes" he responded. "And he's planning something big, something far more terrible, and he's coming" he warned, the others looking just as worried as he was now. "I'm sorry Mark, I too should've handled this much better" he shamefully admitted.

"It's ok Will, that's all in the past now" Mark sympathetically forgave him.

"And all of you, I'm so sorry" he apologized to the rest. "For everything, for......NO!" after a brief moment of distress his voice changed and his eyes grew completely black, scaring the others and causing them to jump back. "I'm not sorry, you all deserved the misery you've experienced!" he shouted insultingly, continuing to frighten the others.

Mark didn't need to ask to know that wasn't really William talking. "Let him go, Dark" he demanded.

"You think ur saving anyone? You think you can stop?! Your the cause of me!" he noted. "You, and those people you cared so dearly for!"

"Then I'll be sure and be the one who stops you, now let him go you son of a bitch" he demanded again, more threateningly this time.

The demonic possesor just grinned at him. "A lot of people are going to die, and there's nothing you can do about it" he evily grinned, Mark keeping his threatening look to hide his fear and get him to go. "I'll see you soon" he promised before Wilford gasped at finally being set free, panting and sweating with his eyes back to normal.

"William? William, are you ok?" Mark asked urgently.

"Yes yes, I'm....oh my God" he exhaled. "He's gone, he's really gone, I can no longer feel him" he sighed in relief. "Oh thankyou Mark, Thankyou" he nearly cried. He probably would've given him a hug if it wasn't for the contraption on his head. "I swear, I'm gonna spend the rest of my life righting everything I've ever done to you and your friends" he promised.

"It's ok Will" Mark assured, extremely relieved that Dark was gone and Will was back. However, he was thoroughly aware that this was far from over, and he had a lot to do from this point on. "I'm actually the one that has a lot of making up to do, and we all have a lot of other stuff to do at that" he replied knowingly, calming everyone down some but letting them all know what was ahead of them.

"But wait, what's gonna happen now?" he asked in concern. "What're all of you gonna do?"

Mark smiled at himself, glancing at everyone in the room. "I don't know, but things do eventually get better, right?" he smiled towards Jack, receiving one in return. "We'll figure out a way, just so long as we don't ever let this maniac tear us apart again, ok?" he glanced around the room and everyone smiled and nodded in agreement and eagerness.

"Never again" William agreed as well. "Not ever" he undoubtedly added.

"Not ever" Mark nodded with a smirked.

"Hell yes" Tyler followed with a smile.

The only reason Darkiplier had bested them was because he tore them apart, separated them and even turned them against each other. But now they were back together and determined to stay that way. If Darkiplier was gonna defeat them, he was gonna have a hell of a chance. But that would be saved for another day. For now, there were other matters that Mark needed to sort out.

Amy Nelson inhaled deeply as her eyes opened back up, seeing Mark himself sitting at the end of the bed. "Hey" she smiled.

"Hey" he smiled back.

"So you finaly know the truth about it all, huh?" she asked.

"You heard of that?" Mark asked back.

"Enough of it, I almost charged in there and started blasting everything in sight" he joked and the two giggled. "Are you ok?" she checked.

"Yea I'm fine" he nodded. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm healed and feeling better" she nodded with a smile. "I'm also really proud of you for what you did in there, choosing to forgive William and save him, even after everything that's happened between you two" she kindly remarked.

"Well, I figured enough people got hurt already, I didn't want anyone else to suffer for our mistakes" he stated.

"Even so, I'm still very proud of you" she sweetly complimented again.

"Thankyou" he smiled.

"So what happens now?" she asked.

"Well, we have a lot to do, a lot on our plate, and who knows how we're gonna get it done or how long it'll take us" he noted. "But despite all of that, even if it's barely even possible, I would still....really, really like to try and make some time for us and give this a shot as well" he greatly and hopefully suggested.

Amy was actually pretty surprised that he was still willing to give that a shot, especially after barely even getting started with whatever it is they had going on and since they barely had time whatsoever. She was pleasantly amused by that. "Do you even....want there to be an us?" she asked with a bright smile.

"If that's alright with you, that is" he nodded nervously. Amy just smiled before leaning in to capture his lips again, the kiss lasting for a good, heartfelt moment.

"Sounds worth a try" she smiled once they broke apart, receiving one in return before they leaned back in. Things certainly seemed to be going well so far, only time would tell just how much better things could get.
