Ch. 20: Christmas Chopping part. 2

Meanwhile in another area on top of the ruins of the Medieval Crypt, Dipper he then jumps off the roof and lands on one of the Medieval zombie horses, both Shadow Dancer and Gabriel are on them, and they all start to ride away. Each of their horses are going as fast as possible but the werewolf along with her master riding on top of her is also chasing them. They soon come to a forested area.

Gabriel looks at Dipper and says, "We can't outrun them both forever, we must change our tactics."

Dipper says, "I concur."

Shadow Dancer says, "That goes three for me, I'm getting bored of this chase anyway."

Dipper says, "Flash bombs on my signal and cover your eyes."

Each of them takes out a little tiny ping pong like ball and then as both the werewolf and the horsewoman start to close a little more distance suddenly all three bombs drop and both of them get blinded by the light. Gabriel, Shadow Dancer and Dipper they continue to ride and see the portal nearby. They all come out of the portal back into the mall on the outside of the clothing store with the zombie horses.

Dipper he says, "We need to regroup everyone."

Gabriel says, "I don't follow."

Shadow Dancer says, "Don't worry cuz, Dipper has a plan he's let me and everyone else in on."

"Is it foolproof?"

"I don't know?"

"That's not very reassuring cuz."

"I know."

Dipper then has a beeping on his phone, and he takes up and, on the screen, he sees a text from his sister which tells him that Sailor Venus is secure, and they're now going to the exit of the crimson red portal up ahead of them.

Dipper says, "Alright, we have one of our friends back and my sister and her group are going to rescue another in the ultraviolet portal."

Shadow Dancer says, "So our next stop is the white portal."

All three of them ride on Medieval zombie horseback on the floor of the mall as they are going to the movie theater location which is bright white colored. All three of them as they come near the Scotia Bank Movie Theater from the front and then all three dismount and run straight in the front as its lighted bright white.

On the other side of the white portal, Candy she ducks down behind a diner counter. Candy is in what looks like a Dinner from the 50's, but the whole place is covered in sheets of cobwebs. There are a few skeletons heads each wrapped in cocoons and a few that are laying in places of the diner. She then looks like sees there are now plenty of she sees two Venomous spider giant dog sized Red Widows with their ink black color covering their body and the six long legs about the size of stool legs and red line from their back, each crawling down the webs and are on their way to her. Meanwhile from front doors of the Diner.

Soos is holding the mandibles of a giant Wolf spider about the size of the Diner Counter that is constantly trying to charge and break into the diner with it's harry head in which it's fur is a combination of dark brown and black, six of the blackest pooled eyes that are on Soos and the spider is all the more determined to sink his fangs into Soos for its venom to dissolve his insides. But Soos with his strength can hold the thing back by pushing with his legs. Soos is sweating hard as he struggling to hold the thing back from getting both Candy and him.

Soos says, "Ah man, thank god I've signed up at "Gym Beast" last year but even with my newfound strength I don't know how long I can hold this beast back."

Candy, she sees the two giant dog sized Red Widow spiders whom both have their mandibles ready to penetrate any part of her body. Candy she is digging though the shelves and finds a Lost and Found box and she takes out a couple of switch blades and then presses the buttons on both and two blades switch out.

Both the Red Widows advance on her fast but Candy she then gives both blades a small toss to catch then and hold them by the blade end and then throws both switch blades simultaneously and before both spiders come near her legs, they both have flying switch blades imbedded into their skulls. Both the Spiders then just plop to the ground without a cry of pain as their seconds to do it have been expired, with a little neon red blood that leaks out and slides down the ground.

Candy gets up to help Soos and she looks around again and goes through the back door into the kitchen area, she then comes out with a couple of big kitchen knives and then jump on top of the Diner counter and then jumps toward the Wolf Spider and has both the knives overhead and then have both simultaneously thrusted toward the head; both blades they land on two of the Wolf Spider's eyes. The giant Wolf Spider then cries in pain and then backs away with some ink black blood spirting out from the wounds and hitting both Soos and Candy's clothes. The Wolf Spider is retreating and then both Soos and Candy breath sigh of relief.

Candy says, "We can't keep this up forever, we've got to find a way out of here."

Soos says, "I know dudete, but the problem is were so darn busy with these super-sized Creepy Crawlers and I wouldn't know the first place to look for the exit."

Both Soos and Candy they hear a noise which comes from the back door of the kitchen area of the Diner.

Soos says, "Oh no, now what!?"

Candy says, "Don't panic arm yourself."

Both take weapons, Soos one of the old Stools and Candy she finds on the ground a leg bone and holds it on her right hand like a club. Suddenly they see three people come whom are Dipper, Gabriel, and Shadow Dancer who is carrying a big black bag. Both Soos and Candy they both breathe sighs of relief.

Soos says, "Oh, thank God it's you dudes."

Shadow Dancer puts the black bag, opens it and takes something out.

Shadow Dancer says, "Here Soos catch."

He throws something to Soos and it's his giant metal Pizza Spatula.

Soos then sees the Wolf Spider despite its wound is making another attempt at breaking in. As soon as it pops it's head in the front entrance again, Soos he brings the Pizza Spatula over head and then smashes its head down with the flat of it. The Spatula contacts the Wolf Spider's head and then the wolf spider from the impact of the Spatula its head goes down on the ground and there is the sound of a cracked skull with a little trace of ink black blood leaking out on the floor. Soos, he swings the Spatula overhead again and it lands on the head of the giant Wolf Spider and the spider's head just explodes like a thrown down pumpkin from the impact and there is just a big splat puddle of ink blood and from the gash Soos made it's still slowly flowing down making the puddle even bigger almost covering half of the Diner floor.

Shadow Dancer then throws a couple of Candy's wrist gauntlets to her and suddenly they all hear a rumbling on the roof and sees part of the celling above them is breaking into pieces and though this hole created there is a big head of some sort of head of a giant Fire Ant with its red eyes on the group and mandibles moving left and right constantly waiting to have them all in its grasp. The ant head looks toward Candy's direction, and she immediately points her right wrist gauntlet at the creature and then discharges a laser and the laser hits the head which makes a hole that goes right though the head and some neon red orange blood splatter on the back and front of the diner. A little of the blood hits the group but they don't care. Candy looks at the gauntlets with a smile on her face.

Candy says, "Good having you two again."

Soos says, "I think it's time to relocate our business.

Dipper takes out a ping pong sized ball and Dipper says, "Way ahead of you Soos."

He throws it down and it emits a smoke which covers the whole Diner.

All of them escape through the back entrance. All of the giant insects outside the Diner they move away from the smoke as they are unable to see and smell their prey. On top of some old radio station roof which is covered in cobwebs, there is one-person viewing it all. The person has a dark purple Samurai armor with a helmet on front four red gems which look like eyes, six arms from both its sides, skin all dark ink black, has red eyes with narrow black irises just looking down and a mouth with mandibles on the side of them just flexing and making small growls and he then with all six of his hand makes knuckle cracks. After observing them for long he then sets out their direction.

Meanwhile Hotaru and Henry Leoric they both are running in an abandoned ruined toy store building; they both take cover behind a pillar. They are both running from someone that has silver sleek armor all over their body and a demonic head which has six red glowing eyes and a mouth with rows of sharp teeth that are about the size of tall carrots and as sharp as razor blades. As this space knight is looking for them, both are crawling on their fours to make minimum noise and keep behind cover and hidden but suddenly they see from the aisle their hiding in a toy robot in front of them. This toy robot as it rolls slowly toward them, it then looks up at them and then points what looks like a laser gun at the two. The toy robot fires and Henry he blocks the blast with his mystical wrist tattoo which is an Prysmos mark which starts to form blue light and it's a shield and then laser blast then just bounces off. The toy robot fires again but Henry he angles the shield and the bounces off and hits the robot.

Both they then stand up and run and then dive behind the middle counter of the toy store as the laser gun the silver armor creature hold points their direction and blasts at them which makes a hole that disintegrates all three rows of shelves. The silver armored creature has a bit of a smile from its razor teeth as it knows where they're at but still wants to have some fun and so he holsters his gun and from his forearm his is able to take out a black rectangle he's holstered and then he presses a combination of directions and then on button.

They see both Urawa and Darrien both hiding in the same place.

Henry says, "Nice seeing you here."

Darrien says, "You too but unfortunately you both pick the worse place to hide."

Hotaru says, "What do you mean."

Suddenly they hear some gunshots which make even more holes on top of the counter.

Urawa says, "We're pinned down."

They hear buzzing in the air and see there are a couple of flying R.C. Jets each of them armed with actual mini turrets with real bullets. Both the jets come in for a swoop and then try gunning them down again but each of them takes cover. Urawa he comes up and looks at one of the empty shelves and sees one shelf is loose and then he concentrates his mind really hard, the two jets are coming back in for another swoop but then Urawa he is able to loosen the shelf on time and it the slate flies and then hits both of the toy jets breaking them. Urawa then sits down on the ground fast in exhaustion and his nose bleeds a little.

Urawa looks at Darrien and says, "I don't think I can keep this up, I'm drying up fast."

Henry says, "Darrien what about your bionic arm."

Darrien says, "This isn't the weaponized model, I can pick up and throw some heavy objects with this one and block or deflect bullets but that's it."

Urawa looks at both Hotaru and Henry.

Urawa says, "What about you two, you have magic powers."

Henry says, "Yes, but it's not that simple."

Hotaru says, "Without my Sailor Pen and our instruments we can't conduct any magic."

Henry says, "I have this Mystic Prismos tattoo, but this is for defensive purposes only, not much for offense."

Darrien, he has a piece of a broken mirror in his bionic hand, putting it up and looking at what's over the counter.

Darrien says, "Which is something we need a lot of, look.

Henry, Hotaru, and Urawa they look at the mirror in Darrien's hand and they see there is a whole army of miniature automated toys coming their way. There are old wind-up toy soldiers in an old-fashioned style who are red shirted and blue pants. They have muskets all trained on the center counter along with some cannons. There are also several R.C. Tanks in which its muscles are trained on both of them. Along with several more R.C. cars, motorcycles and even some more R.C. planes and jets all armed with turrets and bullets loaded.

Hotaru says, "This would be a great time for my fellow Sailor Senshi to come.

The group doesn't know what to do until they hear the sound of a rushing water which short circuits and makes some of the automotive R.C.s explode and break down from the mystic water. And there is a what looks like some sort of wind and gas that come to the airspace where the R.C. Jets and Planes are, and they just short circuit and crash down on the ground exploding or even fly different crazy directions crashing into shelves and exploding. Hotaru recognizes the sounds, and she stands up and sees it' s Sailor Mercury and Venus in their positions in unleashing their powers.

Hotaru says, "Venus, Mercury it's great to see you."

Everyone else hiding behind the counter they stand up and they all join up with both Mercury and Venus but Mabel she steps in and says, "No time for formalities, cover your eyes and follow us."

Mabel then throws another ping pong like ball to the ground which creates a big flash, and this flash covers the whole room. The armored creature with is red eyes is trying to keep sight of them, but its sensor keeps reading unreadable and is getting nothing but static. But soon the light fades and the sensor and sees the area they once were vacated. The creatures six red eyes glow bright red and there is a growl. He then takes one of his other devices and connects it to his waist, the device has two joysticks for both his hands, and he operates then and the device it then emits a red laser sensor which scans the ground, and he can see a multitude of footprints that go one direction, he wastes no time and follows the footsteps.

All three regroup with the others from the signal Dipper pressed on his phone. After they regrouped in the food court area of the mall. As everyone is there, Shadow Dancer turns to Dipper and says, "Alright Dip, this part of the plan work, so what did you really have in store?"

Dipper steps up in front of everyone and says, "I've had enough of these games, it's time we take them head on."

Gabriel says, 'A full frontal assault is risky."

Sailor Mercury says, "The odds of survival in that kind of assault are…

Mabel says, "Um Ami remember the words of Han Solo."

"Yeah, I know never tell me the odds."

"Right, and don't worry my brother knows what he's doing."

Crimson Talon says, "Yes it's a risk, but it's a risk we'll have to take, if we keep letting ourselves get roped into their games we'll eventually lose."

Mercury she then nods her head along with Dipper and Gabriel concurring.

Gabriel says, "I know when to bow to people with good ideas, alright Dipper what's the plan?"

"Simple you all go back to the van and lock and load."

Mabel says, "What are you going to do."

Dipper says, "I'm going to talk with Morgiana."

Everyone is surprised by this.

Venus says, "You can't negotiate with that monster, she wants you and everyone dead."

Mabel says, "Dipper she'll kill you the moment she sees you standing."

Dipper says, "No, she won't remember Mabel she's an artist of death, she wants all of us to die with a style that is fitting, it's her masterpiece, to kill me on the spot would be cheating herself there is no artistry to it no elegance."

Gabriel says, "That is the craziest thing I've heard and yet it actually makes sense."

"After both I and Mogiana have finished, I'll press the signal on your phone and I'll come back to the van to give you all more instructions, so good luck everyone."

Gabriel nods to Gabriel and looks at everyone and says, "Alright you heard him lets go now."

Everyone reluctantly then starts to walk away, but Mabel and Shadow Dancer stay.

Shadow Dancer says, "Are you sure you don't need a number two with you."

Mabel says, "Or three."

Dipper says, "I'll be alright, trust me but thanks for the offer both of you."

Shadow Dancer then takes Mabel's shoulder and says, "We have to go right now."

Mabel puts her fingers on Dancer's hand, looks at Dipper and says, "Be careful Dipper."

Dipper says, "Always am sis."

Both Shadow Dancer and Mabel then turn around and start running to catch up with the rest and not waste time.

Dipper now walks onto the public square of the court waiting and he then sees both Morgana and her dark knighted cohort walking together in his direction.

Morgiana she looks at Dipper and says, "Cutting and running, not like any of you, perhaps I misjudged your worth."

Dipper says, "No you were right."

"What makes you think I won't kill you right now."

"Because I'm the only person that can get you everything you want for Christmas."

"I'm listening."

"I and the rest haven't run away, instead we want to play another game with you, both our teams settle this all-in fair combat, it will take place here on the recreation square of the mall."

"How do I know this isn't a trick?"

"You don't, but for this proposition I won't, however you have to ask yourself do I want to pass up the chance to take them all out; let alone the only way you'll have all of us is once you say yes."

Morgiana thinks on it but also views Dipper suspiciously looking for anything to indicate a bluff or a lie. Dipper is keeping his eyes on both of his assailants watching for any tricks and lies but also trying to figure out the identity of both.

Morgiana she breathes a gentle sign and has a small smile looking down and then at Dipper.

Morgiana says, "I don't like to ponder things too long, it bores me."

Dipper says, "No, nor do I, so the answer is yes right."

"Of course, but you all better be back in ten minutes time to give me my presents, because you don't' want to know what will happen when I'm unhappy on Christmas time."

"Never have when I was a kid, don't intent to."

"I will give you the instructions on your phone once I signal you on your phone, which will be the time for all of you, so as you come back their make sure to enjoy those few free remaining minutes those are my gift to you."

Dipper says dryly, "How kind of you."

Dipper walks away. The knight behind her comes to her and talks in a deep inhuman voice and says, "We should've just killed him, I'm sure they would've come to collect his remains."

Mogiana looks seductively at the knight and as she comes near him, she puts her arms around him and says, "Patience my dear, you'll have your chance and just for holding off on killing him while I was talking."

She removes part of the knight's mask, which reveals only his mouth which looks slightly decayed as it's a bit dry and pealed but not by much. She then kisses the knight's dry lips hard, despite how hard and cold they felt on her lips she didn't care. She then comes down from the kiss, puts part of his mask back on and her right hand seductively on his chest to feel how hard it is but then she puts her head on his chest with her eyes close and her ear pressed on it listening to heartbeats.

Mogiana says, "Glad you're still the same in some way."

The knight gives no expression from the kiss and her hand or that's what it seems as she can't see it as she put the mask down but there was a small movement in it.

Mogiana says, "Come with me our court awaits."

Mogiana then takes something which is a compact which has a crescent moon on top, she then presses a button on the communicator, which gives a signal to all her other subjects that also copies of her compact with them. She then closes it knowing everyone got her message and are lined up in their meeting spot the whale sculptures, then both her and the knight start walking.

Mogiana along with the undead Knight they come to a section of the mall with the two whale head sculptures which show the tail and the heads of both, and the floor is color in ocean blue to look like the ocean. In this area there are two rows of figures all stand before her. Mogiana looks at both rows of her warriors and then she comes back down the line and then faces all of them. She doesn't say anything except just one gesture where she made a fist with her right hand and then pounds it on her left. Then she turns around and then goes a direction and everyone else follow her.

Dipper is back in the van and then he is on the bridge in front of everyone and he says, "Alright everyone it's on, the fight is going to take place on this section of the mall in just ten minutes time, is everyone ready."

Dipper doesn't really need that question answered as everyone is in their outfits for combat from the Sailor Senshi whom are in their usual get up. Gabriel who is in his black leather jacket, with a purple head wrap tied to make him look like a pirate, a katana, in the back, on his belt a gun holstered to the right, combat knife holstered on his left, and two short bullwhips right behind him. Talon he is in his usual militaristic uniform the navy-blue paints and shirt, black cape, black boots, with one black glove for his human right hand and a silver bionic arm on his left, he has the blue samurai like helmet and a silver face plate covering his entire face.

Crimson Talon says, "Don't worry….

He makes a fist with his left bionic arm and with his right human hand stokes the knuckles.

"We're more than ready."

Dipper says, "Alright everyone remembers stay frosty, stick tight, if anyone has any trouble come to them if you can, and there are no rules in this battle, our opponents obey their own rules, so we have to obey ours. And above all else everyone be careful, let make sure we all celebrate Christmas."

Mabel says, "No problem Dip."

Mabel puts her hand on his shoulder, and he does the same.

Shadow Dancer says, "Just like I and Mabel, we're all with you to the very end."

Gabriel, he puts his left fist up and says, "For the Brotherhood."

Dipper says, "Gabe, you know were not all official members."

"I know but Adam says you all don't have a signature team phrase yet."

"We don't need one."

Shadow Dancer says, "We always need one, all the great ones have their mark of honor and aren't afraid to display it to signify hope for the helpless and powerless."

Dipper shakes his head in bemusement and says, "You're such a weirdo, you really are."

"Thanks Dipper I take that as a compliment."

Mabel says, "Actually we both do, I think a signature team phrase is awesome."

Gabriel says, "It does help boost status."

Dipper says, "Ok, fine we'll do the phrases until we find the right one, alright say the previous phrase with me out loud everyone."

Dipper along with Shadow Dancer, Mabel, Gabriel and everyone else says, "FOR THE BROTHERHOOD!"

After the phrase Dipper gets a ring on his phone, he takes it out and sees the text that Morgiana sent which are the instructions on where to meet them which is on the Recreation Square of the mall.

Dipper says, "Alright move out."

They all come out of the van to the Recreation Square of the mall which has on the floor one big chess board. They then look and see Morgiana along with her knight by her side she has brought in her team. Dipper and the rest are just a little bit surprised on what their seeing as each of them look inhuman but also wondering who they could be as some of them are actually their friends.

Mogiana says, "Before we start, I think it's wise that I introduce each of my finest warriors."

Mogiana then goes to the right standing to the side and makes her announcement.

"Spirdrax."

Spidrax steps forward he flexes his mandibles and mouth with sharp shark teeth and gives out a loud growl with his six hands griping the Mongolian swords.

"Strife"

"Setsuna/Strife steps forward, her black eye holes glow bright neon green with some electricity flowing through her along with the staff she's gripping.

"Klothod"

Klothod steps forward with the exposed mouth from the helmet the cover most of her face, she gives a small sinister smile with bother broadswords gripped tight and some tinges of lightening flowing from the blades just waiting to drench them with blood.

"Pentagram"

Pentagram steps forward, she is a muscular reptile with a feminine figure body green with scales, she has only a black mask that covers her face with a star pentagram as its face, she is breathing hard as the mask where the mouth is located goes back and forth, knuckles with her mouth.

"Congo"

Congo steps forward, he has a black trench coat with a bird mask which is black peril color, and his eyes have just multiple colors flashing but with the white lower part of the face and mouth exposed with a manic grin.

"Wrath"

The silver armored figure Wrath steps forward, who's six eyes glow bright red and his long sharped toothed mouth shows a couple of globs of black oil drool that come down and make a mark on the ground. And his claws are very sharp just waiting to make any kind of move.

"Abzethibod"

Morgiana's knight steps forward and his neon red eyes from that mask glow deep red and his fists are clenching hard.

"And Gevaudan"

The female werewolf is on all fours looking at all of them viciously and is growling with a lot of ferocity but still has its eye on Dipper with anger and is moving her teeth back and forth just waiting for them to sink into him.

Morgiana says, "One condition, we won't stop until you're all dead."

Dipper says, "Agreed."

Morgiana, she steps forward covering one black square of the giant chess board but then continues to take more steps. Dipper does the same as he takes steps forward to cover one white square on the chess board and he continues to take more steps. Everyone else from both sides follows their leader, they are all just slowly come walking toward one another and then they all quicken their pace and then go into a full-on charge and then make hard contact.
