As if on cue, Hunter bites down on the hand of the security guard who is holding him. The guard hollers and steps back, and Hunter runs over to embrace his mother. Logan and Hunter both flee from the "PROJECT: GRAVEYARD MINDS" room.
As his family escapes, Sawyer swoops over to the guard, snaps his neck, and pushes his corpse to the ground. Then he turns and stabs Dr. Quantamaker with his butcher knife, right in the chest.
Quantamaker just smiles and laughs at this. He doesn't bleed or register any pain at all. "I'm afraid I'm even harder to kill than you are," he says. Sawyer angrily punches the mad doctor right in his face with unbelievable force. It appears to have no effect on Quantamaker, aside from making his face fall off. Even Sawyer is surprised to see the face is just some kind of mask, and that Quantamaker's REAL face glows like some phosphorescent deep sea creature.
The real Quantamaker - or this particular version of him, at least - is long gone. Whomever it is Sawyer is now fighting is far older, far more evil, and far less human.
The beacon-faced wizard raises a hand, and Sawyer flies backward, smashing through a wall. Sawyer rises back to his feet immediately, and the two titans face off for several minutes, with neither gaining an advantage over the other.
Meanwhile, Logan and Hunter make it to the ground floor of the sanitarium. As they flee, they notice a strange-looking man and a big black dog walking through the front entrance with an eerie lantern. It's Jack and Noobie; they are now able to enter Full Circle thanks to the giant hole Sawyer left in the building upon his arrival. As Sawyer and Quantamaker continue fighting in the basement below, Jack releases all of the Neverdead and explains what is happening to them.
