Ford had had the opportunity to play dimensional chess with Bill Cipher on a number of occasions. The little dream demon had been a very worthy opponent, stretching Fiord to his limits, and often beating him too. But Bill was predictable in his strategies, even if they were often very sound. In dimensional chess, players could move their power pieces ahead of their pawns if they so wished, thereby enabling them to capture strong positions on the board sooner. However, this came at the risk of exposing valuable pieces early and risking their capture. Bill always followed up an unexpected, strong move with a quick fortifying of weaker pieces.
Ford had fallen for the challenge before. The weaker pieces were easy to grab and they threatened the strong hold on the board, but Bill always placed his pawns where they could be quickly avenged by his back row. This meant that he aggressively advanced his own line of battle and quickly endangered his opponent's entire force, while decimating the power pieces. And if you saw the trap and didn't take the bait, you sacrificed vital positions on the board, allowing Bill to chip away at your defenses and block offensive attacks. Whether he began or started second, Bill always pursued this strategy.
Indeed, it was the same strategy he used when attacking Gravity Falls. He reached out through Gideon Gleeful, a remarkable power piece, to begin his attack. From there, he moved his witless pawns into position and let them be defeated. He allowed Dipper and Mabel to make progress until they were too deep into his plot and then he struck. He had done the same to Ford, too. There was no reason to suspect that he wouldn't do otherwise now.
Sure enough, Ford saw the same old strategy unfold before him as Bill Cipher's armies and allies swept out of his flame portal to begin surround the Stan Island that he and his own people defended. A powerful first move, to either elicit a strong response, or to sacrifice offense for a beleaguered defense. However, Ford had a couple of advantages that he did not have during his first game of chess with Bill.
Firstly, Bill's strategy ensured bloodshed for both sides. Bill did not care for his pieces, only for his own victory. That meant that they key to stopping him was not to worry about position, but to force attrition. In chess, attrition was the nature of the definite bloodbaths that determined the victors of many of the greatest matches. And attrition could be easily slated in one's favor if plotted well. Ford had plotted out this battle's attrition well.
Secondly, Bill was an egomaniac who did work well with others. And in this case, he would have to work with the Gleeful twins and Madladl. Also, there appeared to be different variations of Bill Cipher himself joining the battle. All these strong personalities would not work together forever. If Ford and his people could outlast their enemies' cohesion, they would break them apart and then they could shatter their formations and crush them piece by piece. This was the strategy they had all decided on, and now was the time to implement it!
"Superman," Ford called out. "You are up! Show that one eyed fiend why he should fear us!"
Mabel cheered as Superman zipped towards Bill. Many others were cheering as well, after their preparations for battle they had gotten glimpses of what the Kryptonian was capable of. Dipper and Grunkles, however, were much more grim about was coming next.
"So they send a man child in fancy underwear to best me," Bill laughed. "Sorry, I'm not one to change diapers, but I will certainly wipe you out!"
"That was a terrible joke," Superman replied.
"All jokes are terrible," Bill Cipher screeched, hooking Superman's heel with his cane and then swinging him around. "It is the physical comedy that is actually fun!"
The human Bill set Clark Kent on fire, and Superman yelled with pain as the blue flames burned him. With a weakness to magic, sending the Man of Steel against a chaotic magic user was the not the best of ideas. Or was it?
"Boo," Batman said, appearing out of nowhere, and then socking Bill right in the eye.
Bill Cipher fell backwards in the air and cried out. Loosing grip of his cane, the burning Kryptonian was flung away into the ranks of the assembling army. The monsters gleefully rampaged and piled on Superman. Batman hung in the air, his cape fluttering as he looked down at Bill.
"How did you do that," Bill demanded.
"I used some quickly whipped up cloaking technology to hide my presence as I got closer to you," Batman explained. "We knew that Superman would be vulnerable to your magic, so we used him as a decoy to get me in close."
"And what can a man who hasn't grown past his own childhood fears, wearing an outdated costume, do to an all-powerful being like me!?"
Batman grinned. "Sock you in the eye, and distract you from the toxins now flowing into your bloodstream, from where I pricked you as you fell." Bill went rigid and his eyes widened. Batman continued, "You may have super powers, and your magic will eventually repel the poisons, but with a human body Bill Cipher, you are just as breakable as any man."
The Gleefuls floated up right behind Batman and laughed.
"Looks like I'm going to have a whole new boy toy," evil Mabel said happily. "If he knows how to treat his enemies this way, you know he can treat a lady right!"
"Whatever," Dipper spat. "I bet-"
He was shot from behind by Grunkle Stan's rifle. As he fell Stan shouted, out, "Boo yeah! That's what you get for messing with your Grunkle Stan in your own dimension, you Dipper parading piece of garbage! Now, everyone! Attack!"
Mabel Gleeful realized she was caught in between hammer and anvil, and ducked to retrieve her wounded brother, leaving human Bill Cipher to be trussed up Batman in glowing manacles. Right then, Voltron released a blast from its shoulder canon and wiped out an entire column of large monsters. There was an explosion, and bodies flew away in ruin as Superman rose heroically from the army that had engulfed him.
Ford smiled to himself, as he saw his strategy working as planned. He had captured one of the Bills, and with Superman now in the ranks of the enemy, devastating them, and with Voltron leading the charge, the enemy would be reeling from the beginning. It was an extra bonus that the diabolical Gleeful twins had gotten involved so soon. They would be distracted and now cut off from immediate support.
They could win the day! They just had to keep it up!
"Stanley, move the island forward and take us into battle," Ford commanded.
"Aye, aye, Co-Captain," Stan said, concentrating on imagining the island moving forward.
"And can I light up the fireworks," Soos asked excitedly.
"Permission granted," Stan answered.
"Permission Associate Co-Captain granted," Soos said happily and he poured in his imagination into the island as well. The floating Stan head spat fire and roared as it got closer to the enemy army.
All sense of order broke among the monsters and they screamed, charging forward through the air. Large, laser spitting wyverns flew out of the pillar of fire and attacked from above. Voltron leaped into the air and split into the Five Lions to deal with them. Jake stretched himself out into the front lines and let Finn, Marceline, and Huntress Wizard begin wrecking the fools. A ball of black flame shot from the blue pillar and came to rest before the heroes of Adventure Time, and transformed itself into the Lich.
"Seriously!? Can we never catch a break with you," Finn cried out, hefting his Nighto-sword high over his head.
The flames from the Island of Stan roasted any enemy that came too close to the front, so many of them began circling around, exposing themselves to arrows and missiles from the defenders. The Gummi Bears threw small boulders, the Smurfs and mice shot diminutive, but deadly arrows, and hunky knights taken from Don Bluth films formed a shield wall.
The Cipher Dragon crashed down from the sky and used its tail to sweep aside the knights, opening up the back for the monsters to pour into. The attack would have successfully created a route, but a small group of defenders stood their ground. The My Little Pony D&D party.
"Oh yeah! This is exactly what I wanted! Fighting dragons and overwhelming odds! Oh, the loot drop is going to be spectacular," Rainbow Dash gushed.
"Not so fast Rainbow," Discord said, pulling her back by her tail. "That Cipher Dragon is enormously powerful. It will take someone with similar chaos magic to counter him, and for that, I'll need Spike to buff me. Got it?"
"Roger that," Spike said, stroking his wizard's beard impressively.
"Fiiine! Then Big Mac and I have the small guys," Rainbow Dash complained, rolling her eyes.
"And I'll play you all a merry tune to boost your states," Pinkie Pie sang. Pulling out of her infinity pocket her one-pony band, she did just that.
"And I'll give us another boost as well," Discord said delightedly. Storm clouds appeared overhead and another, larger Discord popped his head out and spat out a 20-sided die. It landed with 14. "Well, not a miracle worker, but definitely something I can work with!"
Discord shot an arrow that became a massive, freezing fist, which took the Cipher Dragon in the face and froze its head into an ice block. The blue Bill Cipher rose up as flames and melted the block away quickly, but was distracted enough for Spike to cast a binding spell. This allowed Discord to keep up a barrage of well-placed arrows. A cheesy health bar appeared over the Cipher Dragon's head, showing a fall in HP.
Rainbow Dash zoomed around, plowing over the mess of monsters and dark warriors. Big Mac then used his broad sword, wielded via unicorn magic, to mop up the fallen foes. The quick come back allowed for the knights still able to move to reform the shield wall ad keep anyone at bay who tried break in at the sides.
But bringing the island closer towards the mess allowed for the enemy to strike from every angle. Tall Urgals, Uruks, and Fused charged the sidelines and broke in. Behind them came a veritable swarm of radioactive candy people and monsters from Adventure Time.
"Alright dude, it's time to get to work," Wendy shouted to Dipper, and he grinned back at her. Knowing that this place acted like the mindscape gave them some fun advantages.
Wendy flipped out her double axes and they blazed to life with golden fire. She flew at one of the Fused and severed an arm off as it tried to fly away. The arm burned to ash. She then hurled another into the chest of seven foot Urgal, and he took burst into smoke and flames instantly. As she flew down to retrieve it, Dipper cleared the way with laser vision, chopping a squadron of Uruks in half.
"What in the name of the Evil One," one of them gasped, before toppling over dead.
Another Fused dropped out of the sky to take on Dipper. Dipper used a special punching move from Fight Fighters to explode the Fused in a burst of blue pixels. Wendy rose up in the air to meet him and they went back to back.
"Let's drop into the middle of this brawl," Wendy said, pumped and ready for more.
"You got it," Dipper replied loudly, and together they dropped back into the carnage, barely saving some Smurfs from getting trampled.
"Quick, get to the center and defend it," Wendy called out to the Smurfs.
The animals of Redwall however, charged into the fray. Being so small, they were not noticed by the monsters, who then shouted and fell as swords, spears, and arrows took out their feet. They would fall and either get trampled, or finished off by Matthias wielding the legendary sword of Martin the Warrior. The radioactive monsters were frightening, but they could not come and help their comrades. A barrier prevented them from coming any closer.
"At least the spell is holding," Papa Smurf said, shaking sweat from his brow. He had put up a special protection spell at Ford's immediate request after seeing the zombies. "Now, my little Smurfs, we must sing to keep the barrier strong!"
The Smurfs started singing a lovely tune that somehow rose even over the din of battle. The barrier held strong, causing the radioactive monsters to pile up and stop even other reinforcements from getting onto the island. The enemies trapped within the barrier were quickly annihilated by Wendy and Dipper's combined efforts. They were a whirlwind of power, slashes, and punches, laying even the fearsome Fused low. A few, Edgedancers managed to get past them, but then they were sniped by Grunkle Stan.
"I got your back," He called out to them. "Ha! My compulsive hoarding of weapons for an insane reason are finally paying off! Maybe the NRA has it right after all… Nah! They are a bunch of loons! But now then canons! Canons are what we need!"
Canons appeared all around him, and he cackled as he fired them into the surrounding enemy forces.
Mabel was on the opposite side of the island from Dipper and Wendy, battling it out with devilish machines from the Demon Lord Aku, who had appeared for this fight as well. She was encased in her hamster ball, and running through the ranks of the machines, flattening them. She shot cute kittens from her fists once more, and they scratched and chewed away many of the robots.
"Little girl, you think that you can best the mighty Aku," the demon shouted down to her. "Do not be so foolish!"
"I'm not going to fight you," Mabel called back. "Okay, maybe just a little."
She shot some kittens at his eyes, and he yelped in pain as they scratched him.
When he finally pried them from his face he said dramatically, "You will pay for your insolence, mortal!"
He shot from his eyes a laser beam. Mabel fortified her ball, and the attack was deflected at the rest of his army, melting the robots. But the demon was quite powerful, and Mabel felt her ball weakening and growing hot inside. But luckily, she was not alone.
"Alright everyone, stare him down," Mabel cheered.
Aku had not paid any notice to the Care bears and their cousins lining up in battle formation. They all puffed out their tummies and stared the demon lord down with their magical beams. Aku cried out in terror and surprise, and the bright, good magic of friendship swirled around him like a tornado and carried him off into the void.
"Boy, and I thought Twinkle Heart could pack a punch! Thanks guys, for helping me out," Mabel called appreciatively from her hamster ball.
"No problem," Lionheart said happily, giving her a thumbs up.
"Arg! They are coming! An unstoppable force of clay warriors!" A random knight ran by, screaming his head off.
Mabel looked and sure enough, there they came, over a thousand skeletal figures of clay with metal sword and spear. She was going to face her fears once again today, but this would be easier than last time. Why? Because she was in a frickin' hamster ball, that's why! She rolled herself forward and flattened them into pancakes.
Ford, Stan, and Soos found themselves surprised from the front of the battle, as Thunderclasts and a Kushanada from Hell Verse broke through the island's barrage of fires. They were followed by black knights with red eyes, impervious to the flames. The greater monsters being akin to the horrors in the Nightmare Realm strode through the fires as well. The pawns were being sacrificed, it was time to send in the heavy hitters.
Stan unloaded the last of his ammunition to no avail, before donning on golden brass knuckles to pummel the monsters with. Ford summoned to his side a Swiss Army Plasma Rifle, illegal in two dozen dimensions, due to its excessive usefulness. Soos twisted back his cap and pulled up his shirt to shoot his own belly beam at a Thundersclast; it barely slowed the creature of stone down. Ford had held the heroes of the Gar's Plaza back for just an emergency like this. He gave the signal and they all charged forward, the two sides meeting with grizzly series of crunches and screams.
Grunkle Stan went too far into the brawl, punching his way through the black armored knights. With his magical, golden knuckles, their armor caved in with well-placed hits. He silently blessed once more his father's cruelty and stubbornness in having him practice boxing to toughen him up. As each knight fell, red smoke and strange little demons escaped from within and scampered off. But once he was surrounded, then started jabbing and cutting him with their swords and spears.
Before he could be overwhelmed, Stan was saved by a series of plasma fire, melting the knights. Ford appeared at his side and healed his twin with a thought. They shared a nod and determined faces before also going back to back and retreating from the onslaught. Ford cleared the way and Stanley had his back.
Radicles levitated a knight in the air and Enid super charged kicked it into a Thunderclast. Once again, the beast way barely stopped. Gar was thrown aside by the Kushanada. Shady Figure danced through the soldiers and made his way to places unknown. K.O. was barely keeping his foes at bay, sending out strong punches and kicks, but the kngiths kept coming!
Then the monsters crawled over the knights and threatened to break the center of the allied formation. The two Stan found themselves in the shadow of a second Thunderclast, bearing down on them with long, sharp fingers like spears. Ford engaged the rifle's bayonet feature and Stan managed to knock away one finger, but the stone beast trapped them under its claws. It then leaned in to crush them flat when its midsection blew apart and it toppled to the side.
The Batwing flew throught the explosion and Batman flipped out, carrying Human Bill Cipher over his shoulder. He threw a number of smoke bombs and explosive bat boomerangs that warded off the monsters and knights momentarily.
"Now, kid," Batman shouted.
"At last," Spider flew out from behind and started slinging his webs all over the legs and arms of the other Thunderclast and Kushanada.
Spiderman's strong and quick web slinging tripped up the second stone beast, and it fell. The heroes of Gar' Plaza swarmed it and broke it apart as it couldn't fight back. The large Kushanada was a different matter. It ripped the bonds apart easily and brought a massive hand to crush everyone. Soos imagined himself growing bigger and caught Kushanada's hand. The two titans began wrestling, and the handyman pushed the warden of hell backwards, devastating the forces still coming through the flames.
"We'll be overrun unless we do something soon," Batman said to Ford.
"We've allowed over selves to be drawn out and get spread out," Ford said heatedly. He then magnified his voice and called out to everyone, "Pull back to the center, we need to regroup!"
Just then, Kushanada got a hold on Soos, and flipped the handyman. The beast gave its hideous roar and sped towards the group of heroes, getting ready to finish what it started. It head's suddenly split in two, and it crumbled into pieces. Superman had flown and punched his way right through the monster's head.
"Nice going Sups," Spider Man called out to the flying superhero.
"Soos, you all right," Stan called out.
"Fine, Mr. Pines," Soos said in a slurred voice, as he got up dizzily. "Now it's time to get rid of these guys for good!"
"Wait, Soos, don't do anything brash," Ford warned.
"He's Soos, when does he not," Stan muttered.
Soos once more lifted his shirt and used a belly beam to clear the field of all the enemies that had made it through the flames, and simultaneously healed all of his friends and allies.
"Wow, I never thought I would be happy to see the hairy under belly again," Stan said with awe.
A voice the spoke in their ears, "Everyone down there, there's something bad going up here, you need to get a look at this!"
"What is it Shiro," Ford asked quickly.
"How is he speaking to us like that," Stan asked, confused.
"Don't think about it too much, Stanley," Ford responded. "Team Voltron, what do you see?"
"A very, very, very bad, unholy gathering of demons," Hunk answered back.
Everyone looked up and saw Voltron battling a large, Pyramid Bill, who defended a gathering of Bill Ciphers. All of these other Bills worked to form a large, golden glowing orb. When Ford looked at it, he got a bad sense of foreboding. Mabel, Dipper, and Wendy came over to their sides.
"The wings of the army are secured," Dipper informed them.
"What gaudy, terrible disco ball is that," Mabel asked, pointing up to the orb.
Human Bill laughed weakly and answered, "That is your doom. I helped gather Bill Ciphers from all over the Tumblrverse, bringing them out of their secluded worlds. When we are all together, we can create a spell of destruction that can wipe out entire dimensions in a single blow. We are going to wipe you all off the face of the map!"
He then managed to kick himself off Batman and pointed his cane towards a structure in the center of the island. One of the Pines' last allies to come through where Lego people from the Lego movies. They had built a special weapon for Ford that could be powered by him and his family to banish Madladl whenever he showed his face. This was the trump card they had been protecting and saving. Bringing closer into the battle so they could use it immediately when needed. Now, it was exposed, and in a flash, Bill blasted it into bricks.
Ford paled as he now realized that Bill had indeed played the winning strategy. All of the beasts who he had taken for heavy hitters had been nothing more than pawns. The Bills, the Bills he had not expected, were the power pieces in this game. He had situated himself perfectly once again. He had just taken out Ford's queen and was in position to now take the rest of the board! Words of defeat escaped his lips and he found himself sinking to his knees in despair.
It was then that Voltron answered with a saving grace.
Team Voltron had been fighting an aggressive aerial battle from the beginning, ever since the wyverns showed up. But even laser spitting beasts were no match for Shiro's leadership, Pidge's quick wit, Keith's daring, Hunk's steadfastness, and Lance's raging Lance-ness. By separating into the individual Lions, they were able to mop up the wyverns quickly, but then they had been beset by monsters conjured from the first Power Rangers series. Forming Voltron again, there had been a hailstorm of sparks as they had cloven their way through a veritable army of cheesy costumes.
But all of that fighting had eaten up a lot of time, and only when it was too late had they noticed the collection of Bills and the orb of golden light. They had tried to get close to inspect it, but they were blocked by a giant, black Pyramid Bill. This Bill easily knocked aside all of their sword attacks. It was then that they got the bad news.
"We just lost our anti-Bill ray," Ford cried out. "Human Bill Cipher, he used Batman to get in close and destroy it!"
Shiro ground his teeth while Hunk spazzed out. Keith called for immediate action against the orb, while Lance questioned if that was such a good idea.
"Now that I've had some time, I'm picking up a major amount of energy stored within that spell, or whatever it is," Pidge told the others. "It's off the charts! It's more than the quintessence we've gone up against before!"
"Holy crap! How are we supposed to fight against that," Hunk shouted.
"Keith is right," Shiro said. "We need to disrupt whatever it is that they are doing. Team Voltron, forward! Hunk, get the canon ready!"
Hunk activated Voltron's shoulder canon and they tried getting a blast off at the ord. Pyramid Bill summoned the energy into his palms and shot it right back at Voltron. The robot summoned its shield just in time to intercept the deflected attack, but the team was thrown back pretty far.
"Wait," Shiro said calmly. "Pidge, locate our Star! And once you have a lock on it, let's see if we can bring the Teladuv through."
"But what will we do with that," Lance asked skeptically.
"We're going to contain all of those Bills and their energy in a pocket reality," Shiro explained. "And if we manage that, if they use that orb, they'll only destroy themselves."
"That's brilliant, Shiro," Pidge cheered. "Okay, I have out Star located, reaching out to it through my Lion now!"
"Ford, everyone," Shiro called through the comms, right as Ford was giving into despair. "We have a way of stopping those Ciphers: we're bringing a wormhole machine here to contain them and their power. It should be a good prison where they can't hurt anyone else."
Ford snapped to and responded, "The wormhole sadly won't contain them forever, they're much too powerful for that! But, a wormhole could keep them locked away long enough for the Lego people to rebuild the device and then we can eliminate every last one of them as they are all caught together! Yes! This can work! How much longer until you can the wormhole drive here?"
"It'll be here in a just a few ticks," Pidge answered.
"What's this," Human Bill laughed nearby. "You think that you can stop all of us? I have hundreds of Bill Ciphers gathered from all over the Tumblrverse! It is impossible to stop us all! Besides, your machine is broken, and you are surrounded by my forces."
"You know," Ford snarled. "I wondered how everyone managed to get here."
"We have a very connected benefactor," Bill answered simply. "That's really all you need to know. I'm not giving you any more chances for recovery."
"I don't need time for recovery, just time to retaliate," Ford smiled triumphantly as Stan jumped behind Human Bill and punched him hard in the temple. With a burst of golden light, Bill was thrown to the side.
"Ha! You never could focus on the right brother," Ford laughed.
"No matter what form you take, or in what dimension you find yourself," Stan snarled, stepping up to the sprawled out Bill. "You should never, ever mess with my family!"
There was another explosion, but this time black fire rose in a pillar as another pillar of blue fire sprang up opposite of the black one. The Lich hurried through his diseased flames towards the good guys. The Cipher Dragon reared up at the other end of the island, and transformed, becoming even larger and more hideous.
"I can't believe it, he's leveled up," Discord shouted to everyone.
"Now can I buck it," Rainbow Dash asked impatiently. She didn't wait for a response but flew up and kicked it in the eye; the monster barely registered the attack.
Soos grew his large size once more and tried tackling the dragon. It easily threw him to the side. It grabbed the barrier that Papa Smurf had made and shattered it. The zombies toppled in, but only to be swallowed up with a flood of bubblegum. Princess Bubblegum came in, riding the torrent.
"Take that you mindless, oozing dumbs," she shouted.
"Not so fast," Bill hissed through his teeth as he lay on the floor. He pointed his cane at the deluge of bubblegum, and it stopped. It then started writhing and became another great beast, leaking green goo. PB barely escaped in time. "Whatever victory you enjoy Ford, I can turn it on its head and make it a bigger one for me!"
Human Bill then appeared next to Dipper and gloated, "Now I will be taking my prize!"
"Over my dead body," Mabel screamed, shooting her grappling hook at Bill.
He caught it with his cane and then reeled the twin in. "A signature move like that is too predictable Shooting Star! Like I was telling Sixer there-"
"Eat my ax," Wendy roared, taking her larger ax and swinging it tow handed into Bill's chest. She then wrenched her blade free.
The one eyes demon coughed up black goo and hiccupped blue flames, before stepping backwards, stunned. "Wow, Red. Who would have thought you were so possessive? Or could have killing intent?"
Wendy then dropkicked Human Bill and sent him tumbling backwards again. Ford raised his rifle and blasted Bill in the face, melting it. Human Bill just lay on the ground, not even twitching.
"Unfortunately, he's not dead yet," Ford said angrily. "But he is stunned for now. Good work Wendy and Mabel. Dipper, are you all right?"
"I'm fine," Dipper replied, sounding winded.
"Well, I'm not! We need to finish this Ford," Stan said hurriedly, casting wary eye at the orb.
"Yes, this will all be over soon," the Lich said, coming up to them. Everyone's knees buckled and they went to the ground. "Endings are inevitable, so they should be embraced when they come. Your ending are now."
"Not if I have anything to say about it," Finn cried out, cutting his way through the dark flames, dispelling the pillar. "Don't worry guys, I've got him!"
"Enough of this" the Lich spat.
"No! Your spells can't touch me so long as I have this cursed sword," Finn explained. "Which means I finally have the drop on you!"
Sure enough the Lich backed away as Finn advanced. He then called for Jake to try and help Soos restrain the Cipher Dragon. Jake the Dog grew as big as he could and tackled the dragon as well. Some of the Care bears had joined in, trying to stare the beast down. Luckily, in all the chaos, the knights and springing Gummi Bears did wonders to repel the lower level beasts. Even the radioactive bubblegum monster was no match for Superman and Batman. Superman beat it into pieces and Batman dissolved it with stuff from his belt. Spider Man then hopped around plastered any enemy stragglers to the ground. As Voltron struggled against Pyramid Bill, the Teladuv appeared and moved into position to trap the bills.
"Legos," Dipper called out. "We need you to rebuild the machine so that we can trap all of the Bills!"
"On it," the small, blocky people said, quickly getting to work.
A portal opened above them all, and the Gleefuls returned. Evil Dipper was healed and looked livid. He used his powers to stop the Teladuv and pull it back from the orb. Evil Mabel knocked aside the Stans and Wendy. She then addressed the younger twins.
"Madladl told us the importance you two hold in all of this. It's your deaths he needs the most. That is why he tried killing you both in Piedmont. So we will finish the job for him. Plus, there can only be one set of us!"
"Yes," evil Dipper agreed. "Right here and now, we will battle it out, for the fate of everyone. Unless you can defeat us, you will never get that machine ready to save yourselves. So let's finish what we began back in Gravity Falls."
Dipper and Mabel nodded to one another and said, "You're on!"
"This is going to be fun," Mabel Gleeful said as she and her brother burst with sickly green and blue magic. "You're going to die!"
