A/N: Hey guys! I appriciate all of the comments back from Chapter 5. I decided to push back Dipper's POV until Chapter 7, because some viewers wanted to know what happened to Lebam, so I put that in this chapter. I guess I'll make Dipper's POV into two chapters since Mabel's POV is in two chapters. That's fair right? Anyways, sorry I didn't update right away, believe it or not I had an English report that was worth 290 points. Outragious huh? Okay, here's chapter 6 and I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 6: Backstories and Choices

Mabel's POV:

"She was taken away from him? How?" I couldn't help but asking, standing outside of the cave as a gust of wind brushed past me and Mailliw. The wind was cold as it made contact with my skin; I shivered lightly, but Mailliw just stood still as a statue with his blond hair lightly waving across his face. He was still looking out towards the town of Sllaf Ytivarg as he began the tail of Lebam's disappearance.

"Yadsruht, Enuj 91, 2102: a day that will live in infamy in the heart, and memory of Reppid Senip. It was a normal, ordinary day in the town of Sllaf Ytivarg as twins Reppid and Lebam were making there way home after another day of intense training for the future attack of the powerful force...the Brightness. Reppid and Lebam were both factors of the resistance against Llib Rehpic, since he brings the force every thirty years. As they made there approach to their home, an unexpected and uncalled anomaly took place. However, it was not your average anomaly that they practiced for." He explained. My stomach was in knots, as I got an idea as to how this all went down. Immediately as Mailliw began the backstory, I felt utterly guilty and sad for Reppid. I knew exactly how his emotions would end up with twin separation anxiety. I began to feel a little bit of it as Mailliw talked about Lebam, and I was certain that Dipper was feeling the anxiety ten times worse than me.

"Instead of the gravity being forced down, it was pushed upwards. Both twins, and the residents were unsure how to handle this type of anomaly, but Reppid had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, but he didn't know how right he was. While grabbing a hold of his sister, Llib appeared out of thin air; his black square figure and red flames were shown glowing brightly in front of the Senip twins. They felt powerless, not knowing what to do. Reppid knew that this was the fault of Llib, and the only scenario that he could think of was that this nightmare creator wanted to strike a deal." Mailliw stated. I can definitely recall some of the deals that Bill Cipher wanted to strike with us (mostly Dipper) back in Gravity Falls. I'll never forget that one deal-or trap-he struck with my twin; taking over his body so he could destroy the journal and continue with his big plans that were underway. I was just glad that I didn't hand over the journal to him and I wore out his body so Dipper could return to his rightful place. Although, I did enjoy seeing my brother get mad while he was communicating to me through a sock puppet. It was funny to see him like that, but I wanted my dork of a brother back so that we could continue with our future adventures. There can't be the "Mystery Twins" if one of us is hurt or missing.

"What deal did Llib want to strike?" I couldn't help but ask. I knew for a fact that this story was not going to end on a good note, and as my stomach continued to turn into knots as I felt bad for Reppid, I began to miss my friends, my family and my brother as the story progressed. I saw that Mailliw was about to answer my inquiry, but he and I both jumped in surprised as we heard the rough, and squeaky puberty voice of Reppid Senip. "It wasn't a deal at all..."

Mailliw and I re-entered into the cave as we saw him on his knees and his head down, sniffling in the process. "...He demanded that I hand over the tracking devices that I use for the darkness, and lanruoj -3, or else something unbelievable and indescribable would happen. I needed both items since they both give me information about the upcoming "Brightness" attack. I had forced my sister behind me so that she was protected, incase Llib would do anything. Of course, I refused; not tricking myself into his trap. He tried the bargaining game with me, but I continued to deny his requests. And then, the unthinkable happened. In the blink of an eye, my sister wasn't behind me anymore. She was pulled into the force of Llib as he laughed menacingly. She tried to fight against his strong hold, but it was no use since she received minor shocks to her system. Every time she screeched in pain, my ambition to save Lebam grew larger as the seconds ticked by. Trying to make my attempts to retrieve my now captured twin, I received powerful strikes from this Nightmare Creator, making my body weak and helpless. I can remember his last words to me exactly; If you wish to see your twin sister alive, be prepared to fight me when the brightness arrives on Yadirf, Yluj 92, 2102. If you refuse, you will never see your sister ever again. I heard her whimper in pain and fright as I tried to make an attempt to reach out to her, but it was too late...he was gone...and so was Lebam." He concluded.

Feelings of despair and sadness entered my stomach as I learned about the my doppelgänger. Taken away by a powerful villain, unable to break free just feels horrible. That's when I thought occurred to me; did Reppid only come down to the spot where I entered because he thought I was his sister? I didn't bother to say a word since I knew that he was still hurting, and it must have been tough to talk about his sister's disappearance. I believe it's especially tough for him since he has no update if she's still alive, or if Llib killed her. However, another thought occurred to me; if my doppelgänger happened to be killed, would that mean that I would cease from existence as well? Was it possible that I could die in this universe and never put glitter on my brother's underwear ever again because it drove him crazy? Is it possible that if I die helping Reppid defeat Llib while taking on the brightness to save Lebam, I could never see Dipper again? I felt tears beginning to form, but I didn't dare to let any of them show.

"Mabel..." Reppid began as he finally stood up and walked back towards his lab desk where he put the picture back down. "I know that the Brightness may seem horrible,-even though it is- but I know for a fact that with your help, we can both get what we want." I looked at him, slight teary eyed and confused since I couldn't comprehend what he meant by "We can both get what we want". I doubt that he knew that I had a brother, and that my brother was his doppelgänger. I gave Reppid a "What are you talking about" look as he just rolled his eyes and motioned to Mailliw to clarify his statement.

"He knows that you want to get back home to Gravity Falls and he wants his sister back. If you help him, then you both get what you want." Mailliw explained to me as I comprehended that more easier.

"Wait..." I began. "I thought that I was forced to help you with this." I replied as I began to remember what Reppid said that there was no exceptions as to help him with this 'Brightness Battle'. He sighed and approached me, placing a hand on my shoulder. This was the first time that I saw Reppid act like Dipper, because Dipper always did that whenever I felt sad or upset.

"I only said that so I could talk to you about this whole situation privately-of course it wasn't that private since Mailliw is here-but if you do, you can get back home to Gravity Falls and do whatever it was you were doing back there." He replied. Now I was getting all mixed up. As soon as I arrived here, Reppid told me that I was forced to help him with this battle, and now I'm getting the opportunity to think about it? Ugh! I'm beginning to get confused again just like how I got confused back in Gravity Falls (about which side to choose).

"And if I don't decide to help?" I asked with concern. Whatever the outcome would be with the reply shouldn't be all that bad.

"Then you'll be stuck here in Sllaf Ytivarg...forever." Both Mailliw and Reppid replied in unison.

Man, I have another big decision to make. Why am I always the one who has to make a decision?

A/N: OOH! What will Mabel choose? I hope you all enjoyed.

Question: Since Dipper is coming back for two chapters, what should he and the author talk about while they are getting equipment to repair the portal? I have some ideas but I want to here from you guys! Leave your responses in the reviews please!
