The pulse gains on them, shattering all the nearby windows, causing destruction and chaos. Lilly reverses fast, pulls a spectacular J-turn and speeds out of the woods.

In the slipstream of Lilly's car, Cillian's book is whipped into the air where it bursts into flames, enveloped by the plasma wave.

Lilly: "Which way now?"

Nightmare: "Straight over!"

Lilly floors it, speeding right over the roundabout and away from the town on a winding country lane.

Nightmare: "We can make it."

The plasma wave gains inexorably, igniting the hedgerows as the car struggles to outrun its fate. Lilly drives to escape the burning countryside, a violent rainbow colour.

Nightmare: "We're gonna make it."

Sam's car is just ahead of the gaining fire as it shoots past the sign saying 'WELCOME TO BARLOWVILLE, home of the infamous six, The Darcy Kids'.

Nightmare: "We made it!"

Everyone sees them arriving home, Nightmare got out of the car.

Nightmare + Kino: "Everybody get in now!"

Police Officer: "What? From what?"

Nightmare: "That!"

They show the citizens of the city the pulse that's about to hit them.

Police Officer: "Oh boy!"

The flames of the hedgerows overtake the car. The citizens see the car through a cloud of acrid smoke, blackened but intact. Sam turns the key. It is dead. The gang exits the car and start to walk.

Cillian leads them while carrying Lorcan, stumbling toward an orange light in the distance. Lilly follows, Ellie, Nightmare and Kino behind them, worried. The smoke clears and Gary gazes upon the same panorama he saw in 2000. The valley bathed in orange light. However, it is not the dawn, it's the town and surrounding fields on fire. The flaming hedgerows make a fiery grid as far as they can see. A nearby pylon blazes, showering sparks. They sit down on the brow of the hill looking out across the scene.

Lorcan: "C…Cillian…?"

Cillian: "Yeah bud?"

Lorcan: "D…did we made it home?"

Cillian: "Yeah, man… we did. Just hold on, the paramedic over here!"

Lorcan: "I…it's o…okay…Cillian…"

Lorcan closed his eyes for one last time. Cillian felt in tears. He begins to cry that he lost his brother to the hands of his new enemy. Lorcan was friendly, brave and kind to his family but he lost a best friend of his.

The story has begun, this is the story how it happened. Today's the day that Lorcan Darcy… had died.
