"YOU WILL NOT TAKE MABEL FROM US!" Craz and Xyler said. The battle began when the monsters began to step towards the Star Catchers. Everyone shouted a battle cry as they charged towards the armored musicians. Stan had other things in mind, as he ran towards Mabel and Dipper.

"KIDS!" He yelled. He skid to his knees and wrapped his arms around Dipper. "I was so worried when I found out that you were alone. I didn't know about Ford or anything. Ah kid, I'm sorry." Dipper hugged him back.

"I'm just happy to know your alive." Dipper said. Mabel got down from Soos's shoulder and stood in front of him.

"Mabel, sweetie?" Stan asked, still shocked to see her in such good shape. He lowered his eyes to the ground, and felt tears coming to his eyes. "I am so sorry that it took me so long to fnd you. I searched and searched and I was so worried that you were gone and with Bill. I'm a failure as a guardian and I-," he said before Mabel ran into him and squeezed her arms tightly around him, and he did the same.

"Grunkle Stan, I'm just happy to see you." Mabel sobbed into his chest, and Stan let the floodgates loose.

"I was just so worried about you pumpkin," Stan said. They squeezed each other tighter and Stan smiled. A good hearted smile that was honest and true, one that only Mabel could have found and put on his face.

"Uh, not to break up this reunion, but we've got company!" Soos yelled. He pushed everyone to the right, avoiding the monsters stomping foot as it backed away from an attack lead by Pacifica and her sword. Dipper watched her yell commands and slash and the monsters ankles.

"Come on Dipper, we've got to help the Admiral." Wendy said, taking out her crossbow.

"Wendy, uh, who is the Admiral?"

"That would be me, Professor." Pacifica said. She then jumped on top of the monster foot and stabbed her sword into its ankle. Xyler screamed in pain, and soon after Pacifica did the same to Craz.

"YOU CANNOT DEFEAT US! WE ARE POP STARS!" Xyler and Craz shouted.

"Man these guys are worse than ocs in Lord of the Rings!" Pacifica said to Dipper. Suddenly their shin guards disappeared and the two giants screamed.

"NO ONE MUST MENTION FANTASY AND LITERATURE IN OUR PRESENCE!" They screamed in agony.

"Wait, you know lord of the rings?" Dipper asked the Admiral. She blushed.

"It's only my secret passion." She gushed. Dipper smiled.

"Well let's use our nerd knowledge and bring down these monsters!" They looked towards the sky and yelled at the monsters.

"Doctor Who!" Dipper yelled.

"Harry Potter!" Pacifica screamed.

"TWILIGHT!" Grenda yelled.

"BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER!" Candy shouted.

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!" Yelled Killbone. Slowly everyone was shouting the names of classic literature and tv shows. The giants screamed as their armor disappeared and they shrank to their neon selves. Mabel walked up to them and said with a straight face.

"You know, I prefered to company of Several Times better." She snarled. Craz and Xyler's eyes widened and they looked towards the sky dramatically.

"NOOOOOOO!" They screamed in unison, until they exploded into pink glitter. Mabel turned to the group and smiled.

"Welcome back Mabel!" Pacifica said. She hugged the girl, who seemed surprised at the sudden show of affection.

"Uhh, thanks." Mabel said awkwardly. Pacifica's heart sank into her chest. She made amends with everyone for Mabel, except for Mabel herself. They broke from their awkward embrace, and the Admiral cleared her throat.

"Let's head back to the bunker!" She said, and everyone cheered in agreement. As everyone got into the trucks, Dipper couldn't help but look back at Pacifica dangling her feet off the edge, staring at the dust in the distance.

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

If the bunker had one thing, it had what seemed to be an endless supply or Pit soda. When they came back, the Privates and Captains who stayed behind welcomed the newcomers with a banquet of Pit soda, Cheetos, and other vending machine snacks. Dipper took a soda to be polite, but his stomach was turning. How could he defeat Bill? Maybe if he talked to Mabel they could make a plan, but she needed some time to digest everything that was happening.

Just in case he saw anyone of interest, he took another soda and wandered off through the bunker.

His last memories of this place weren't the best. He had confessed his feelings to Wendy, faced a shape shifter, and realized was given a grim warning about searching for the author. But somehow knowing that there were dozens of people down here made him feel safe. He wasn't alone anymore, and that was fine.

In the distance, he heard a whisper, and then a shout. Quickly he found the voice coming from a dark room in the back.

"Who's in here?" Dipper asked cautiously.

"NO! I won't give in! I don't know where Mabel is! Gideon either! I swear I'm alone!" A girl screamed. Dipper's eyes adjusted and saw the speaker.

It was Pacifica.

"Pacifica? Who are you talking too?" Dipper asked. The blonde whipped her head around to see him.

"Dipper! Get him out of my head!" She cried. Her fists pulled at her hair and she looked like she was in so much pain.

"What's going on? Who's in your head?" Dipper asked. He was worried about her. She turned around and Dipper saw something shocking.

A tattoo of the Cipher wheel was on her back. He gasped. It was glowing a bluish white.

"Copies of the pages are there!" She pointed towards a desk in the corner were. Dipper rushed over, and was so shocked to see there actually be copies of the journal's. Even if the invisible ink ones were gone, he still had pages from every single book. Quickly he searched for Bill page, the same one he used to get into Stan's mind. Dipper realized he needed help to get Bill out of Pacifica's mind, so he ran out of the door saying,

"I'll be right back," on the way.

When he arrived to his destination, he found who he was looking for. Mabel, Candy, Grenda and Gideon. Mabel had been inside someone's mind before and knew how to fight in the dreamscape. Candy and Grenda knew how Pacifica was in the last couple of days, so they may know why Bill was after her. And Gideon had one of the journals, so he knew some ways to defeat Bill.

"Hey Dippin' sauce, where've you been?" Mabel asked.

"No *breath* time. Need *breath* your help!" Dipper gasped.

"What is it?" Candy asked.

"Just follow me, all of you!" Dipper said. "And grab those candles in the corner!" He added. The three ran, while Gideon waddled, down to the room where Pacifica was last seen. Dipper heard her yells and demands, which encouraged everyone to run and waddle faster.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD! I WON'T TELL YOU WHERE THEY ARE!" She yelled when they reached the room. Pacifica was in tears now, curled up in a ball on the floor. When she saw Dipper in the doorway, she yelled.

"GET HIM OUT, PLEASE!" She begged. Dipper could only nod, as he took the candles from everyone and placed them in a circle around the screaming blonde.

"Oh my gosh, why does she have that on her back!" Mabel asked. Candy, Grenda and Gideon all looked at the tattoo and gasped.

"Oh, dear," Gideon muttered.

"Bill is inside her, probably torturing her through the wound." Candy said.

"Dipper, we have to get in there!" Grenda said.

"What would, how did the mark get there?" Mabel asked.

"We'll explain when we get inside," Candy assured, and Mabel huffed. She didn't like being treated like a seven year old by her own friends.

Dipper lit the last of the candles and picked up the piece of paper with the incantation.

"Everyone put your hand on her head," Dipper ordered, and everyone did so. "Don't worry Pacifica, we'll get him out of your head." He muttered. Looking to the page he said the incantation, while all of the kids eyes glowed white and blue, until they all saw a white light.

What do you guys think? I'm sorry this chapter was posted so late, but I've been really busy. Please don't be too offended if I don't post something tomorrow. Question of the Day: What do you think they may see in Pacifica's mind?
