(Valerie's POV)

We all went to Dad's favorite spot. Luther is holding Dad's ashes. "Did something happened?" Mom asked. "Dad died. Remember?" Allison looked at mom. "Oh, yes, ofcourse." Mom looked at the ground. "Is mom okay?" Allison asked everyone. "Yeah, yeah she's fine. She just need to rest. You know, recharge." Diego looked at mom.

Pogo walked in while holding an umbrella. Luther looked at Pogo "Whenever you're ready, dear boy." Pogo said as he bow his head. Luther step in while being soaked to the rain. He opens the thing where Dad's ashes are in. He opened it and poured it. We all look confused, there's a tiny amount of ashes instead of a lot. I noticed Klaus doing this weird face. I realized that he might have spilled some of Dad ashes. "Probably would have been better with some wind.." Luther murmured.

Pogo looked around and asked "Does anyone wish to speak?" I looked to the ground. No one is speaking. All i can hear is the rain drops. "Very well" Pogo said.

"In all regards, Sir Reginald Hargreeves made me what I am today.  For that alone, i shall forever be in his dept. He was my master... and my friend, and i shall miss him very much. He leaves behind a complicated legacy--"
   "He was a monster." Diego said. We all looked at Diego. Klaus suddenly burst out laughing. "He was a bad person and a worse father." Diego said while being soaked to the water and looking at the ground. "The world's better off without him."
     "Diego." Allison raised her voice and looked at Diego.
"My name is Number two. You know why? Because our father couldn't be bothered to give us actual names. He had mom do it." I shook my head as i know that this will end bad. "Would anyone like something to eat?" Mom suddenly asked. "No its okay Mom." Vanya answered. "Oh, okay." Mom smiled.

"Look, you wanna pay your respects? Go ahead. But at least be honest about what kind of man he was."
        "You should stop talking now." Luther looked at Diego.
"You know, you of all people should be on my side here, Number one."

        "I am warning you."
"After everything he did to you? He had to ship you a million miles away-"
        "DIEGO, STOP TALKING."
"THAT'S! HOW MUCH HE COULDN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF YOU!" Diego pointed at Luther.

Luther lost it and started to pull a punch on Diego, but Diego was able to ditch it. Everyone stepped back as the 2 boys were fighting. "BOYS! STOP THIS AT ONCE!" Pogo shouted. "Come on, Big Boy!!" Diego said. He punched Luther on the belly and attacked him at his back. "Stop it!!" Vanya shouted. "Hit him! Hit him!" Klaus cheered them as i watched them fight. Pogo shakes his head and leave.

Luther pushed Diego to the ground. Diego stood up and continued punching each other. Luther grabbed Diego on his clothes and lift him up. "Get off me!!!" Diego shouted. He had a chance to escape so he did and punched Luther on his face. "We don't have time for this." Five said and leave. "Come here big boy!" Diego shouted. Luther suddenly hits Ben statue. "Oh..." Klaus whispered. "And there goes Ben statue." Allison shakes her head and left. I scoffed as i saw that Ben's statue fell.

"Diego, no!!" Vanya shouted as Diego put out his knife and throw it to Luther. Luther's arms were bleeding. He left while stopping the blood. I sat with Klaus. Vanya walked towards Diego and asked "You never know when to stop, do you?"
    "You got enough material for your sequel yet?"
"He was my father too."
Vanya walked away.

Diego was walking towards mom when i teleported to him. He stopped and looked at me. He was about to go when i pushed him. "Why do you always need to cause a fight, huh?" I looked at Diego. "Not right now Valerie." He walked past me. "Mom, let's go inside." He escorted mom and they went inside.

I looked at Ben's statue broken. I wiped my tears and left.

17 Years Ago..

"Nietzche once said "Man is as a rope stretched between the animal and the superhuman. A rope over an Abyss. It is a dangerous crossing, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting."

The Umbrellas were at the lower ground of the staircase except for Number 7. He was with Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Sir Reginald Hargreeves looked at his book and closed it. He looked straight at Number 7 and she whistled. Everyone started climbing up the stairs.

"As much as you strive for individual greatness, and strive you must, for it won't come to you for its own accord... you mus also remember that there is no individual stronger than the collective.

Number 1 was going on first when Number 2 catch up to him. Number 3 was right behind him and Number 5 was at 4th place when he suddenly teleported a few steps away. "That's not fair, Five's cheeting!!" Number 2 shouted. "He adapted." Reggie shouted. Number 8 was at the last when she suddenly teleported at the top of the staircase. Vanya looked at her and smiled. She rolled her eyes.

"The ties that band you together makes you stronger than you are alone."

Number 3 was crying on Number 4 shoulder after she got tattooed. Number 2 was on the chair getting tattooed. Grace walked towards him and tried to hold him but he ditch his hand.

"They will make you impervious to the pain and hardship the world will trust upon you. And believe when i told you.. live will be hard... it will be painful. "

Reggie walked towards Grace. He looked at Number 1, Number 6, Number 8, and Number 5 who is next inline. Number 8 is crying when Ben hold her hands. Number 7 was on the stairs, watching her sisters and brothers to get a mark. He put out a marker and drew a Umbrella logo on her wrist just like the mark on the other Umbrellas.

"We can accomplish anything when we accept responsibility together. This is what creates trust."

Reggie putted some mind monitoring to every Umbrellas. He spy them every night.
