Some time had passed and the training session was over. The Warners made a "Take Back The Falls" flag for the team, then helped Mabel start a campfire. Mabel made sweaters for everyone and passed them out to keep them warm. Dot put on the one Mabel gave her when they first met while Wakko decided to reuse one of Mabel's, since she was running out of yarn to make more. He picked the one with the watermelon on it.
"I didn't have enough left to make you one," said Mabel to Yakko, "but you can use one of mine."
She handed him the black sweater with a red heart on it, as it was the one she made when he came. He put it on, finding it to be surprisingly a perfect fit. The sweater camouflaged with his fur, making it look like he had a big red heart on his chest.
"Thanks, Mabel. Huh, looks like I'm really wearing my heart on my sleeves."
Wakko played the drums to accompany Yakko's pun.
"Thanks for these apocalypse sweaters, Mabel," said Soos, wearing a yellow sweater with a pink tiger face on it. "The end of the world has never been so comfortable."
Some of the refugees nodded their heads and hummed in agreement. Pacifica shivered before finally giving in.
"Ugh, fine! I'll wear it!"
She put on a sweater with a llama on it.
"But I'm not gonna like it."
"I hope you'll find it no prob-llama!" said Dot, getting a high-five from her brothers for that pun.
"Admit it," said Mabel. "This is the best day of the end of the world. I think we actually have a chance to beat Bill and win back our future."
"Yeah," said Dipper. "Getting to actually live to see our 13th birthday party is the only birthday present I want right now."
"Hey," said Soos, "if we're lucky enough to get there, I guarantee this whole town is gonna throw you the best birthday party you've ever seen."
"You bet!" said Wakko. "You're gonna have lots of presents, a tasty birthday cake-"
"As long as he doesn't eat it all," said Dot.
Wakko playfully elbowed her, making Yakko laugh.
"That's our little garbage disposal," said Yakko, patting Wakko's head.
Wakko panted and barked like a dog while wagging his tail in response. They stopped talking, noticing that Dipper and Mabel disappeared.
"Where'd they go?" said Wakko.
They managed to catch them sneaking away and spying on Stan, who was having a one-sided conversation with Shmebulock. They followed Dipper and Mabel, eavesdropping on the conversation.
"This whole plan is bonkers," said Stan. "But of course no one asked the chief what he thinks. After all I've done for everyone!"
"Shmebulock!"
"Yeah, exactly, it's a total load of Shmebulock."
"Is something wrong, Grunkle Stan?" said Mabel. "You're acting grunklier than usual."
"Why don'tcha join us by the fire?" said Wakko.
"It's this darn plan to save my brother. If you didn't notice, I already saved him once from that portal, and he never thanked me! He causes the end of the world, and still somehow it's always 'Stan's the screw-up. Ford's the hero.'"
So that's what's bothering him, Yakko thought.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Dipper already spoke up. However, it was anything but reassuring.
"Well maybe people think he's a hero because he didn't want to hide in the Mystery Shack!" said Dipper.
"Oh boy," said Dot, "he's only gonna make it worse."
"Well maybe if he hid in the Mystery Shack," said Stan, "he wouldn't have been captured!"
Luckily, Mabel interfered.
"Guys! Guys! Trust me, tomorrow's gonna be great! I believe in us."
She hugged their faces, then left to help Chuztpar, who kept flexing through his sweaters. Yakko put his hand on Stan's shoulder.
"Look," said Yakko, "I know it's hard when someone keeps stealing all the glory from ya. And believe me, we know a certain somebody who wanted to take all the credit for all the things we did! But ya still gotta try. Don't worry, my sibs and I'll make sure you get the recognition you deserve."
"Yeah, right."
"Stan, I mean it."
Stan looked him in the eye. He wasn't convinced that they could help him, but he could tell that Yakko was being serious and so were his siblings. He softened up and agreed to join them by the campfire, appreciating their effort.
The next morning, the whole group got inside the Mystery Shack, prepared to use it against Bill.
"Alright, fellas," said McGucket. "Let's hope this turns out better than my other inventions."
"Everybody ready?" said Yakko.
They agreed.
"Then let's do this!"
"Dipper, now!" said Mabel.
He pulled a lever, causing gears to be put in motion. Lo and behold, the Mystery Shack turned into a lean, mean, fighting machine.
"Onwards, Gravimaniacs!" said Dot.
It got up on its robotic legs and walked towards the Fearamid.
"Alright, guys!" said Yakko. "We've been preparing for this moment since yesterday. All that hard work and training's gonna pay off. Next stop: victory!"
The crowd cheered. When they finally arrived, the t-rex head crashed through the door and roared.
"What?!" said Bill. "I just fixed that door!"
"It's the Shacktron, dude!" said Soos, standing on the balcony.
Wakko joined him and held up the flag.
"So the mortals and toons are trying to fight back, huh? Adorable! Henchmaniacs, you know what to do! Take them out!"
His minions grew in size and stood in front of the Shacktron.
"Step aside," said Yakko, holding a microphone, "I got this."
"All yours, dude."
Soos and Wakko stepped back and went inside as Yakko attempted to peacefully resolve things, even though he knew fighting was the only way to get Ford back. And quite frankly, he preferred it that way.
"Listen up! Surrender Ford to us or face the power of the Shacktron. And believe me, it ain't pretty."
"I have butchered millions on countless moons," said Paci-Fire.
Yakko was casual about this, smugly smiling at Bill's henchmen and shrugging.
"Well, I tried."
He retreated back into the Shack.
"Attack!" shouted Pyronica as they ran towards the Shacktron.
"Everyone!" said Dipper. "Like we planned! Three, two, one. Go!"
Candy and Grenda operated arms, punching away Paci-Fire and Kryptos. Yakko used the mallet launcher to crush Amorphous Shape and send Pyronica flying backwards. Meanwhile, Wakko and Dot cheered on Pacifica as she used the anvilinator on Hectorgon. A flock of Eye-Bats attacked the Shacktron.
"Get em, Gobblewonker!" said McGucket as he grabbed one.
Rumble killed two others using fireballs.
"Oh, no you don't!" said Wendy, jumping on one and pulling its wings, turning 8 Ball's head into stone.
"Nice aim!" said Yakko, high-fiving Wendy.
"Everyone!" said Multi-Bear. "Incoming!"
Xanthar rammed the Shacktron and pushed it back, making everyone scream as they were pressed against the walls.
"Hold on!" said Yakko.
"Maximum power!" said Mabel.
Sev'ral Times ran on a treadmill, doing as Mabel ordered.
"And...now!" shouted Dipper.
He turned a wheel, causing the Shacktron to grab Xanthar and throw him. Teeth was set on fire and ran away. Meanwhile, Bill took matters into his own hands, grew a giant fist, and slammed it on the Shacktron. To his horror, it survived the blow without a single scratch.
"What the-?! No, no, no, no, no!"
He grew ten arms and pounded at the Shacktron, but to no avail. The Warners made silly faces at him as his attempts to bring them down failed.
"ATTACK!" Mabel screamed.
Grenda punched, causing the t-rex head to lunge at Bill and rip his eyeball out.
"Ewwwww!" said all three Warners, cringing and looking away.
"My eye!" Bill screamed, grabbing the hole in his face. "Do you have any idea how long it takes to regenerate that?"
"We've got him distracted," said Dipper. "Now's our chance."
"Rescue team, move out!" said Mabel.
"Go, go, go!" said Yakko as their group split into two.
The Warners, Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Wendy, Soos, Pacifica, McGucket, and Sheriff Blubs each got into exit tubes. Mabel put the grappling hook in her sweater, Soos put the memory-erasing gun in his backpack, Dipper tested the height-altering crystal flashlight on a snow globe, and the Warners got their mallets ready. Everyone had parachutes on them for safe landing.
"Okay everyone," said Dipper. "We get in, rescue Ford, get out, save the world. Piece of cake."
"Atta boy!" said Dot.
"Just so we're clear," said Pacifica. "If I die, I'm suing all of you."
Yakko rolled his eyes.
"Hey," said Stan, "on second thought, maybe we could come up with a plan that doesn't involve us plummeting to our certain death."
"Way too late for that," said Yakko.
"Now!" said Wendy.
She pushed a button. They were pulled up the tubes and sent flying out of the Gobblewonker's mouth.
"Oh, man, oh, man..." said Dipper as he tried to keep his calm.
"I feel so alive!" said Dot, spreading out her arms.
"Woohoo!" said Mabel as she did cartwheels in the air.
Yakko dove after Mabel and hugged her, making her laugh. He pulled her close for romantic effect as they fell together.
"Oh yeah," said Yakko, "I'm totally feelin' it right now!"
He kissed her as he pulled the cord and activated his parachute. The others did the same as Mabel sighed dreamily. When they landed and removed their parachutes, they gasped as they saw the human throne of twisted agony inside the blood red Fearamid.
"Oh, man," said Dipper. "It looks even worse up close."
