"Get ready, kids. When I get that time wish, you'll wish you were never born! Or rather, you'll wish you were born, because I'm gonna wish you were never born!" Blendin screeched out his words with his high-pitched voice, glaring at the two kids who stood in front of them.
"Dream on! There's two of us!" Dipper shouted back while glaring back as well, his fists clenched as his wrists were trapped in the electric handcuffs.
"AND WE HAVE HAIR!" Mabel shouted as well with her hands on her hips.
"O-Oh yeah? Well I have training!" The time traveler stuttered before snatching a spear and twirling it to show off. What do you think I did in prison all that time?"
"Uh-oh." Mabel gulped.
"Let the Globnar...BEGIN!" A chubby baby with an blue hourglass printed on his forehead shouted from behind a floating crib-like thing.
Lighting is flashed before the scoreboard behind everyone blared and lit up, giving everyone zero points. Blendin, Dipper, and Mabel's handcuffs turned off and fell to the floor, giving them full control of their hands. They all shot glares at each other and Blendin let out a war cry before the games begun. It was all going well. The twins would win and lose and so would Blendin. At some points there were ties and some points either one of the teams were in the lead. At the last game everyone looked beat up and tired. They were at a tie.
"There is only one final challenge for Globnar. An ancient game, thousands of years old, chosen for it's exemplification of pure strategy: The ancient art...of Laser Tag!" Time Baby's voice boomed. A course then appeared and everyone got a vest and gun. "The one who touches the victory orb first will win!"
"Laser tag? Seriously?" The 12 year old boy made a face and rolled his eyes. This was going to be too easy. When Blendin wasn't looking, he gave a signal to his sister to make a run for it when the time traveler was too busy talking.
Instead of Blendin getting to talk, the lights dimmed down and the course lit up to a bright, neon pink. The twin's eyes widened as they looked around. Everything was pitch black, and the fog machine that turned on wasn't a huge help either. Sounds of a horn blaring were heard and footsteps took off in a run. The girl and boy gasped before linking up and running together, shooting their guns rapidly at a search for their rival. They caught nothing but the walls. It came to the point where Mabel split up from Dipper and they both went to race to the yellow glowing orb at the top. Only their breathing was heard, but now only the boy twin's was heard to himself. A couple minutes later a bright flash was seen as well as a horn blaring. 'Mabel got it!' He thought to himself with a grin, knowing at how fast she was. She could definitely beat that guy. The lights turned back on slowly...to reveal Blendin with the time wish floating down in front of him. Uh-oh. His score was up to 999. He won.
Dipper and Mabel gasped and ran up to each other, staring at the time traveler who was laughing and grinning. "I TOLD YOU THAT TRAINING WOULD PAY OFF!" He shouted, pointing at them. "N-Now revenge is mine!"
"Before you use your time wish, tell us; what fate have you decided for the loser?" Time Baby questioned as the crowd stood still in their seats.
"I want their parents n-never to have met!" He shouted, making the crowd let out a gasp.
"Very well then." Time Baby nodded and got ready to snap his fingers. "Any last words, losers?"
Losers...Dipper and Mabel Pines...known as Globnar's losers. They took a deep breath and looked at each other with watery, stinging eyes. This would be the last they'd see eachother. The Mystery Twins would turn into nothing. All the memories they made this summer. Gone. They smiled sadly at one another.
"G-guess this is a goodbye then..." Dipper said quietly while looking at his sister.
"H-hey...i'm sure we'll s-see each other sometime..." She responded back, sniffling and rubbing her eyes.
"R-right...y-yeah..." He took a deep, shaking breath before looking at her. "M-Mystery Twins..?"
She smiled sadly and stuck out her fist. "M-Mystery Twins...for ever and ever."
He stuck out his fist as well and they fistbumped even though their hands were shaking rapidly. They gave one last sibling hug and then let go, letting tears run down their face. They weren't ready to leave one another. They weren't ready to 'die'. They took each other's hands before looking at each other.
"Ready to h-head into the unknown..?" He questioned, gripping her hand tight.
"N-nope..." She took a shaking breath in and gripped his tighter. "..L-let's do it."
"Together."
And with that...the last sound they heard was snapping before a bright, blinding white flash was spread across the whole room.
