This Isn't Over

A couple weeks have passed, and John was able to find some airplane tickets back to the U.S. and they all pack and are driven to the airport. They get on the plane, and it takes off and flies back to the U.S. airport. After about nine hours, they arrive late back in  the U.S. and John gets the kids into his own car, loads up all the suitcases, and drives them back to his home. He yawns and checks the rearview, seeing the four kids asleep soundly, holding their plushies tight and he smiles, keeping his eyes on the road.

  Once they got home, he gets gets the children in the house first, getting them in bed. The four kids shared Benjamin's bed and John gets all the suitcases in, locks the car and house, and gets in his sleepwear and gets in his own bed. The next morning, everyone slept in late and Benjamin was the first one awake. He stretches and hears a thump onto the floor and a voice, "Ow." Benjamin peers over the side, seeing Tux glaring at him in plush form from the floor.

Benjamin giggles, "Sorry Tux." He gets down and picks up the cat and hugs him. He quietly leaves room, trying not to wake anyone up, and sets Tux down on the couch and goes to the kitchen. Tux turns into his monster cat form and follows him and watches the boy grab a stool and try to start the coffee pot for his uncle. Tux smiles and he nuzzles Benjamin's cheek, "It feels good to be back home." Benjamin boops the cat's nose and he pushes the button for the coffee, "It really does. I'm happy we're home, and I'm happy Esther and her friends have a home too."

Benjamin takes Tux to the couch and they sit together, watching cartoons on a low volume, but loud enough for them to hear it. Tux hears John waking up and he turns into his plush form and Benjamin runs to his uncle and hugs him and John chuckles, "Good morning buddy." He picks up Benjamin, holding him and Benjamin smiles, "I made you coffee." John laughs, "Did you now?" He sets his nephew down and Benjamin goes to the bathroom to brush his teeth and do his business while John gets a mug and pours some coffee into it.

Tux stretches and he feels something grab his throat and he gets thrown to the floor and pin by the neck, "Dammit Hopp, I swear to God, I-" "You thought this was over?" His eyes widen when he sees the Entity come into view. John runs to the living room, and gasps, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" The Entity tries to shoot at him with the black spikes but John avoids them. Benjamin runs out the bathroom, Esther and her friends wake up and gasp when they saw the Entity back.

Tux scratches the Entity, trying to get him off but he gets his head banged into the floor. Benjamin grabs a chair and throws it, but the tall black figure knew better and he throws it back with an unknown force, and Benjamin jumps out of the way. Mr. Hopp, Mr. Stripes, and Miss Bo were forcefully turned into their monster forms and brought forth to the Entity and he laughs, "Time to go to your real home!." He opens a portal, and he takes the four monsters through, Benjamin leaping to save Tux but it closes quickly and he bangs his fist, "NO!"
