"Before we all go running out like idiots,"
Sponge turns towards the lamp.
"Is there a way to fix it? And if so, how?"

"If we knew how to fix it, it would already be repaired by now. I'm afraid you're on your own in fixing everything..." the lamp says in a defeated tone.
"I don't know about you bitches, but if we're gonna meet our ends, I'm not gonna just wait in a fucking office building for it. I'd rather go out on own terms, after fucking some shit up." Raphael lends his opinion.
"Raphael... You're a complete idiot." Hypnos gives him a dirty look.
"I don't care. It's the end of the world and nothing matters." Raphael pulls out his scythe and looks at his reflection in the blade.
"You only say that because you don't care about anyone but yourself!" Hypnos continues to hold Medi's lantern.

"If this was caused by the Null, maybe we need some kind of reverse Null? I wonder if there's a mirror Omega..."

Sponge crouched down next to the lantern.
"shush, shush.... everything will be alright."
For some reason, Sponge forgets that he is literally the worst singer of all fucking time, and decides to try and sing Y.M.C.A. by Village People.
"Young man, there's no need to feel down."

Raphael is beginning to get annoyed. He shoots a glare at Sponge.
Then, the phone rings.
The lamp picks it up with no hands.
"Voidco underworld branch, this is Lampshade speaking."
On the other end, there are words being uttered in furbish with a highly synthesized but slightly childlike voice.
"Ah, Furbinator! What's the news? Anything?"
More furbish noises.
"...they, fixed it?! How? ...what do you mean 'classified information'? ...hold on, I got another on the line."
Lampshade somehow presses a button on the phone.
"Voidco underworld branch, this is Lampshade speaking... what's that? An enormous amount of unaspected player souls just landed in a bubble somewhere? That's great! Send the robes over there to get them registered." Lampshade switches back to the first caller. "Back. Anything else to mention? ...mirror world has been sealed again? Okay, thank you."
Lampshade puts the phone down.
"It looks like things are going to be... all right. The fountains should be turned back on soon."
"...really? they will?" Theta looks up from his apparent sobbing.
"You hear that, Medi? We're gonna be safe! It's all fixed again!" Hypnos tells her softly.
"...I'd like to see some proof. How am I supposed to know this wasn't just a series of convenient calls meant to placate me? It'll take more than that to convince me of your charade." Raphael continues to gaze into the reflected bloodstained world in his scythe. The edges are covered with a fading purple layer, never cleaned off.

Sponge stops his torturous singing, breathing a sigh of relief at the news.
"Dude, check the messageboard."

Medi stops her bizarre mantra, but is still whimpering.
The poor girl is still scared...

Theta pulls out his laptop and checks the message board. There appears to be a single message confirming the end of the Null. All the other messages seem to be worried about other things though.
Outside the window however, the shattered skies seem to be melding back together, and disappearing behind a thick blanket of mist. The sea shines in rainbow from unknown lights reflecting upon it.
Hypnos looks out the window from across the room and gasps. "Holy shit... guys, look!" He points at the window and most of the group looks towards it.
"Well then. It appears things are returning back to normal." Lampshade says in a weary and relieved tone.
"How are we supposed to know it doesn't always do that shit out there?"
"Raphael, get your head out of your ass. Oh wait, you were buried in that position." Hypnos backtalks to him.
Raphael puts his scythe away, and then flips Hypnos off.
Theta looks out and smiles. "balance has returned to the underworld... the eternal procession has resumed."
"The what?" Raphael is confused.
"He means everything down here is running how it should again." Hypnos explains.

Raphael is moderately pissed, but he doesn't seem to be taking it too personally. It's just standard insult banter. He wonders if he'll ever see Cerxes ever again though. He did kill him at the end of his timeline after all.
"yeah, that sounds like a good idea. it's been a long night of studying anyways." Theta types something on the message board before putting the laptop away.
"Medi, you're more than welcome to stay with us in the tower. I want you to know that." Hypnos tells her softly.
"...What are we waiting for? Let's get moving." Raphael starts walking towards the door.

The soul in the lantern flickers.
"O...Okay..."

"You're gonna like it there. We got a Hot Topic to buy cool clothes at, a kickass forest, all the badass weapons you could ever dream of, coffee, and all sorts of other cool shit." Hypnos carries Medi's lantern as they walk down the hallway together.
"That's fine and all, but the rest of the fucking army is still in danger up there. I think I'm gonna go join the fight with them. They'll need my leadership to survive against a fucking doublekiller." Raphael looks straight ahead while walking.
"what ever happened to the cops i called in?" Theta asks.
"Do you really think the cops did jack shit against a fucking black hole?"
"well, maybe?"
"Give me a fucking break, Theta. The police are cowards and you know it."
The crew make their way out of the building and out into the frigid dreamscape. It's much foggier than it was earlier.
