His little legs kicked beneath him as he struggled to try and break the surface. His chest burned as his air supply was gone. He could see the gobblewonker eating up Soos and Mabel. In a state of panic he tried to call out but only to have water rush down his throat. Combine that with the fact a rope from the sinking boat was wrapped around his leg was dragging him down, things weren't looking good for him.
Vision getting hazy and each kick of his foot took more and more effort. He tried to cough out the water in his mouth only for more to enter. The gobblewonker was to his upper left swimming in circles. The pain was fading along with his vision. A sense of ease and calm washed over him. They may not get to enter the contest but at least they saw a monster…
Hold on Mabel..I'm coming
Mabel kept pressing her hands against her non-moving brother as tears slide off her cheeks. They were in the metal stomach of the submarine that McGucket had created. Said oldman was watching with a guilt filled expression.
"I-I didn't mean for this to ha-"
"H-Hes gonna be ok!" She turned to snap at him before turning back to try and revive her pale brother. Soos watched trying to help in anyway he can. "C-Come on Bro..w-wake up" No movement..'W-WAKE UP" still nothing… "GET US TO THE SURFACE NOW!" She turned and yelled at McGucket. This...this couldn't be it. The boat had crashed but the 'gobblewonker' had eaten them, allowing them to join McGucket in the stomach...Dipper however had gotten dragged down where no one was thinking to look. But they found him in time!...They had too….He wasn't dead. He just wasn't!
I'm so sorry Dipper...
