"The Second Salem boy." He answered, whispering back.

"Is a miracle." Graves continued. "You are a miracle. Come with me. Think of what we could achieve together." It was certain now, that was not Percival Graves. Credence's Obscurus threw itself against Graves, making him fall. And went by closely to where Newt and Élie were hiding.

"Newt!" Tina's voice called their attention.

"It's the Second Salem boy. He's the Obscurial."

"He's not a child."

"His power must be so strong he's somehow managed to survive."

"Newt, save him, Miss Rosier, with me." Both wizard and witch nodded and Amélie followed Tina the second she moved from her hiding spot. "We have to distract Graves enough to let Credence go so that Newt follows."

"Considérer que c'est fait." Answered the Auror, saying that it should be considered done. "You go first?"

"You go first."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, you go first." Élie shrugged.

"Alright. Graves!" The man turned around and Amélie threw a spell, that he barely blocked. A second later, Tina threw her own spell, then a second one; and he continued to block. She threw a third one and then Amélie sent two spells at him. He looked at her annoyed and when he attacked, she defended herself. The spells got connected and she grunted as she stood her ground, his attack was strong. That's when Tina attacked the man, but he stopped her spell with his bare hand.

"You two are always turning up where you're least wanted." He said. That's when he stopped the connection of the spells and threw a car at Tina while he threw a stunning spell at Rosier. Goldstein dodged while Amélie fell on her back roughly.

  Both girls got up and rushed to the spot where they started hearing gunshots, that's where he'd be. When they arrived, they found the Aurors creating a protective dome to keep the muggles outside and prevent the Obscurial to get out. Obviously, because no one else knew Percival wasn't himself, he got in with no problem. The two women had to roll over the ground to get inside the magical field before it closed.

  It took them a while to get into the subway, but when they did, they found Newt and Graves on the ground and the Obscurial on top of them, a second away from hurting them.

"Credence, no!" Tina yelled and Amélie stood behind. She knew seeing an unknown face could alter the boy even further. The dark shadow stopped its movements. "Don't do this. Please."

"Keep talking, Tina." Newt told her softly. "Keep talking to him. He'll listen to you. He's listening."

"I know what that woman did to you. I know that you've suffered. You need to stop this now." She started walking slowly towards the front. "Newt and I will protect you, as well as our friends. This man, he's using you."

"Don't listen to her, Credence." Said Graves, that's when Rosier started moving slowly to hide behind a column, to move forward towards him without being spotted. Not by him, or by Credence. "I want you to be free." He added. "It's alright."

"That's it." Said Tina as the darkness started to settle. Unfortunately, that's when an army of Aurors arrived, all of them pointing at Credence, whose Obscurial roared. "Shh." Tina tried to silence them. "Don't! You're frightening him."

"Wands down." Graves ordered. "Anyone harms him, they answer to me. Credence."

"Credence, shh." She tried, that's when the Aurors opened fire against him. The three wizards who were on the train tracks placed themselves close to the ground to avoid getting hurt. "No!" She yelled, as well as the other three. A distant scream was heard and, moments later, the darkness dissipated. That's when Tina and Newt stood and Graves made his way towards where Credence once was.
