Mark's POV

Jack, Thomas, and I were sucked upward through the swirling colors. I felt tears prick at my eyes. Even if Dark possessed me or Anti possessed Jack, I'd probably never see them as themselves again.

The trip back up to the human world passed a lot faster than the trip down to the Underworld. After a few seconds, the swirling colors began to turn black and white, and they started to slow down.

Once they had stopped completely, I looked around the room we were in. It was the same room I was in with Anti before he took me to the Underworld. The food that was set out for me was on the table, exactly as it had been left. I looked toward the wall Anti had cut himself at and could still see his blood stains on the floor.

I heard something click before I heard the voice sarcastically cheer, "Mark! You saved Jack! Looks like you also found Thomas Sanders. You must be feeling pretty good."

I forced a smile, knowing she was watching us. "Yeah, I am."

"So I assume you heard about the deal I made with that annoying demon?"

I nodded while Jack yelled, "I'm not playing any of these mind games you asshole!" He walked to the door and turned the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge.

"Sorry, Jackaboy," the voice replied in an extremely annoying voice, "but you won't be getting out of here. I've already sent someone to bring you all to me. We should meet face to face momentarily."

Thomas laughed at her comment as he walked over to the table the food was on. He flipped the table, causing me and Jack to wince slightly before he kicked the table underneath and tore off one of the legs. "Sorry voice lady, but we won't be sticking around for that."

Thomas walked to the door and lifted the table leg over his head. Jack took a step back as Thomas swung the leg at the doorknob, popping it off. Jack shoved his hand through the hole and pushed the doorknob on the other side out.

I walked over to the door and tapped my finger against it, getting it to slowly creak open. I turned around to face the room. "Now, if you'll excuse us, it's time for us to leave."

The voice didn't respond, but I heard the intercom cut out. I smiled before following Jack and Thomas into the hallway.

Jack turned to face Thomas. "That was pretty badass, but are you gonna carry that leg around with you until we get out?"

Thomas glanced at the table leg before looking at me and Jack. "Isn't this the only weapon we have right now? It would be kinda stupid to leave it here, don't you think?"

Jack shrugged while I replied, "Yeah, for now we better keep it."

Jack turned to face me. "Okay Mark, what are we doing first?"

I tilted my head a bit. "Are you putting me in charge?"

Thomas and Jack exchanged a sideways glance before they both replied, "Yeah?"

"Why? I clearly haven't been responsible during the past few days. You two would probably find it in your best interest to just have all of us make decisions as a group."

Jack brought a hand up to his face. "We'd still be making decisions as a group, but someone has to have the overall say in things or we won't get anywhere."

"Why do you want me to be that person, though?" I asked.

"Mark," Thomas started, "Dark filled all of us in on what's been happening here. Jack got kidnapped almost immediately after arriving here, so he doesn't know the layout. I just found out who all is here, and I wouldn't be surprised if we come across other people who aren't supposed to be here. You know the most about where we are and what we're doing."

"So what are we doing first?" Jack inquired before I could oppose.

I sighed and tried to think. "Well, while we were in the Underworld, I figured our best bet would be to look for Dan and Phil. They should be with Nate and Jason, and they might've found other people while we were gone. I'm not sure where anyone else is, but we also need to find Reagan as soon as possible if Dan and Phil haven't already. Last I heard, the voice and all of them were showing her some weird type of special treatment."

Jack grinned. "So we're looking for Dan and Phil first?"

I nodded. "That seems like the best place to start."

"Alright," Thomas replied, "where would they be?"

I hesitated for a second before answering, "I don't know. Hopefully, they're still in the orphanage and didn't get transported to some other world like we were."

Jack nodded. "Where should we start looking?"

Before I had the chance to answer, we heard footsteps coming down the hallway.

"We need to hide," I instructed. "The voice probably sent someone to look for us."

We ran in the opposite direction of the footsteps and hid behind a corner. Thomas and Jack silently walked down the new hallway, searching for a better place to hide in case the person came in search for us this way.

I heard the footsteps get louder and louder until they stopped. Based on what I'd heard last, I assumed the person was down the hallway a bit.

I leaned my head around the corner and saw a person wearing a black robe standing in front of the door we had been near a moment before. The person pushed the door open and looked around the room. A second later, they closed the door and looked down the hallway in both directions.

The person pulled their hood back once they were looking at the door again. I got a good view of the side of Robert's face.

I gulped. He couldn't have been brought back to reality yet. He would've taken off the robe. Robert's body was being used by someone.

I'm placing my money on Felix's father.

I screamed and fell backward as I heard Dark's voice in my head. "What the f–"

"There you are!" Robert yelled as he turned to face the corner.

Nice one, Mark. Now you screwed yourself over because you yelled at a voice in your head.

"This isn't right!" I continued shouting, ignoring the fact that Robert was running down the hallway and that Jack and Thomas seemed somewhere between worrying about me and wanting to kill me. "Anti said you could possess me! He didn't say anything about hearing voices!"

Dark laughed, Dude, calm down. Anti explained all of this. He said we could communicate, and before you embarrass yourself any further, you can reply to me by thinking, you don't have to yell.

Well, isn't that helpful. What am I supposed to do about Robert?

To snap him back to reality? I'm not sure. Shouldn't you be more focused on that fact that he just told you where Dan and Phil are, though?

I paused for a moment as I felt Jack grab my hand and start running down the hallway with me. What do you mean he told me where Dan and Phil are?

He either left from dealing with them, one of your other friends, or from a control room. Run in the direction he came from and you're bound to come across something.

I started paying attention to what was happening to me after Dark finished speaking. Thomas was trying to fight off Robert at the corner while Jack was dragging me away from the fight.

"Jack, hang on a second!" I demanded as I tried to pull away from his grip around my hand.

"Thomas will be fine! I'll go help him in a second once you get somewhere safe–"

I pulled my hand away and stopped running. "Jack, we have to run in the direction Robert came from."

He narrowed his eyes at me. "You're insane."

"Maybe a little, but you have to trust me. Robert could've been walking away from dealing with one of our friends!"

Jack looked past me to Thomas. He sighed, "Let's hurry. One of us can knock Robert over and the other can help Thomas up."

I nodded before turning around and racing back to Thomas and Robert, Jack close behind me. Once we got to them, I pushed Robert over and held him down for a minute while Jack helped Thomas stand up.

Thomas grabbed his table leg off the ground. "Okay, what's the plan?"

I exchanged a quick glance with Jack before I sprung off of Robert and yelled, "Start running!"

A/N

I can't wait to write more of Dark in Mark's head. This has so much potential.

Also, have I talked about the Spider-man AU that's been happening in the Voltron fandom??

I FREAKING LOVE IT SO MUCH AND WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE KNOWS ABOUT A FANFIC BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND ANY AND IT'S STARTING TO ANNOY ME

Anyways, BUH-BYE BROTATOS!
