The following takes place mid-December of their senior year.

Chapter 1: Bumpy Trip

The sky is black, and the moon is shining, there is snow which has painted the ground white, a lone car is driving throughout the night. It is a black Trans Am car which has its headlight on illuminating the roadway and most of the nighttime.

The person that is behind the wheel is someone that is in an emerald green winter coat with gloves and blue jeans on. She has long brown autumn hair with a brown hat with dog flaps. She is some that is around 20 yrs. old. The person in the passenger seat has a navy-blue parka coat and gloves on, black hair cropped short and a baseball cap with a pine tree on the front. He is about 18 and right now is looking out at the night sky with nervousness. The driver notices her significant others look on his face and then has a sly smile on her face.

She says, "FIRE!"

The significant other jumps and was so startled that the baseball cap muffles his face.

Wendy has a small smile and says, "Sorry, I was just wondering if you were still alive."

Dipper straightens out the cap and says, "Yes, I am and what was that for you nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Well, this trip was getting too quiet for my taste."

Dipper adjusts his cap once more making sure it's on straight as he is still a little a bit shaken.

Wendy says, "Are you always this tense during the holidays?"

"It's not the holiday I'm worried about it just…I don't really like taking road trips in the dark."

"Really, I always found them a little soothing as there is just quiet and the open road to yourself."

Dipper remains slightly quiet not sure about the proper response.

Wendy says, "Oh, c'mon Dipper think positive, think how good it will be once we come to the cabins, having our pre-Christmas celebration."

Dipper he puts his head up and has a smile on his face.

Wendy says, "A tree, hot coca, cookies, decorations…"

Dipper says, "Hours of Fight Fighters 5."

Wendy then raises an eyebrow and says, "I was also thinking hours of snogging."

"What, I was getting to that."

"We're you are thinking of which new character to beat me with."

"Um, yeah."

"Wendy has a small smile and says, "Well, I wouldn't get too confident yet, I still have plenty of move you haven't seen yet."

"Bring it."

Wendy gives a wiry smile and Dipper he just thinks about a little of the that conversation and the possible double meaning.

Dipper says, "Wait a minute are we talking about the video game or um another kind of game."

Wendy says, "Both."

Dipper gets a little blush from that response and looks away to try and hide it which he suddenly realizes is stupid. The conversation they had has brought a little warmth to the trip and has made Dipper a little less tense from the night drive.

Wendy says, "Isn't this great, going out to have a pre-Christmas celebration will all our friends together."

Dipper says, "Let alone where we're going to have it, at Darrien's cabin."

"Are you excited because you want to uncover secrets there, what if it's just an ordinary cabin."

"Nothing about Darrien is ever ordinary, he's always hiding something."

"You still don't trust him, even as he has converted completely."

"He's not that good."

"Well suit yourself but personally I want to be there to finally sip hot coca and relax, you you're a workaholic you really love the thrill of an investigation."

Dipper nods in agreement and says, "Yeah that's true."

He has a small smile and so does Wendy as they continue driving, they continue their conversation.

Wendy says, "Still can you believe Darren he built that cabin himself and has added on to it ever since, it was a best kept secret for so long.

"And yet Candy was the only one that found it."

"And now we're going to be the next guests to fill up his mystery shack."

Wendy has a small smile and so does Dipper and both stick out one free hand, Wendy her right and Dipper his left and both they then hold hands.

But then suddenly they both get hit from the right and the car from the impact goes out of control and then on the left side crashes toward a tree. Both are unconscious in the car and suddenly there is some big seven foot gray figure that has a lot of grey clothing, dirt, but also has a long beard which goes down to its legs, that is just staring at the car with his hands that are half closed to imitate talons. His hands have dirty and blackened nails which have one or two tiny pieces of metal that are stuck right in a fingernail or two. But the figure doesn't even notice or seem to care about if the figments on his nails are causing any pain or not. It moves back slowly into the cover of darkness and as it does it keeps it's eyes on the wrecked car and the occupants in it.

Meanwhile, on a gravel trail there is a crimson red van with flames on the sides that is slowly advancing forward and then it comes to a big flat gravel lot and then suddenly parks. The driver comes out of the van along with the shotgun passenger. The driver has a navy-blue uniform with a shirt which has lots of button in the front, black boot and a cloak/cape that is draped all around him. His face is covered in some sort of helmet. It's a samurai like helmet as the back is shaped like one and it's all black, but his facemask is silver. It's a two-piece mask where he has a mouthpiece that has small ventilator spots left to right for breathing. And even the top cap of the helmet is silver and on the forehead of the helmet is a shuriken. The other is in a pink parka coat with black jean paints, black winter boots and glasses on. The driver then opens up the passenger side door and out comes two people one a female whom is in a black leather jacket, black boot shoes, bell bottom pants, black top, she has dyed deep red hair as she along with significant other whom is in the usual where black trench coat, black paints, combat boots, black gloves, black hat, and sunglasses.

All four of them see the cabin which is about two floors tall there is even a tool shed. The cabin looks almost like it could be a vacation hot spot for any holiday. The place is rather big as there is a deck out in front to walk on and even big enough to have a BBQ outdoors or party, several window up, down and to the sides, the cabin is painted sky blue, which really helps make it shine in the moon light. All four get a few things from the back and they come in and Darren/Crimson Talon he is walking a different direction to put the bags he has someplace. While Silent Jim, Candy and Grenda they are admiring how spacious the place is from the wood paneled floor which is red brown and has been freshly cleaned and they go to the living room and there is some furniture like a three seated white couch in the middle along with one two seated couch on the right, a chair on the left, and there is a flat screen TV set up but they notice there is a tree which is standing right by a window which is to the right next to the TV and covers half the window which has a view of the lake the home is near.

Grenda looks at Candy and talks with an Irish accent. "Nice pad."

Candy looks to her friend and says, "Use to just be just a small house."

"Looks like he's done lots of renovations since then, anyone that builds anything like this…, I almost thought you were daft for loving Crimson Talon I mean Darrien but now I'm thinking the other way around."

Candy has a small smile and then looks to Gretchen once more.

Candy says, "Listen I got help Darren with some stuff, it will take a while so you and Silent Jim can watch TV or decorate that tree or do whatever you want.

Candy leaves and it's just Silent Jim and her alone and Grenda she looks at the tree and then at Jim and says, "Do you mind bringing in some boxes with me?"

Silent Jim says in the usual dry matter of fact tone, "Of course."

Both come back to the house with two pearl black boxes which aren't cardboard but are some sort of light but save metallic substance. They both put them down and they open the lids and there are several small rectangular boxes. Gretchen, she take out the first box.

Grenda then breathes a gentle sigh as she looks at the big Christmas tree in the room and says, "This is always my favorite part of the holiday."

Silent Jim looks a little puzzled, "Tree burning?"

Grenda surprised at the response looks at him and says, "No are you daft?"

"Sorry that was how Christmas was celebrated in Dimension MCA to pay homage to the one of the tree gods."

Grenda looks at him strangely and then shakes her head. "Back to the subject, whenever I see an empty tree, I just know it is just waiting to be decorated."

She then looks at the boxes and then opens one of them and there are a bunch of decorations and she takes one of them out and it is a miniature replica of a Quilt Ann doll with an old style green and pooka dot purple long dress and a happy face of a girl with short long brown hair and a smile on her face with two red circles at the ends of the lips to represent a blushes.

Grenda looks at Jim and says, "This was an ornament mom gave me, I always loved these kinds of dolls when I was little."

Silent Jim says, "Sounds like you still do."

"Anything wrong with that."

"Of course, not though is anyone every dared say that in the public eye to you I'd…"

"Um, Jim I think I get the rest of it."

She then takes a miniature, hooks it up and places it on the tree. She then takes out another which is a homemade ornament of her favorite character in the show "TMNT" whom has a walnut for a body, five colored mini cotton balls glued to serve as legs, arms and head. The head has an orange bandana with plastic glued on eyes with a little backpack that moves any direction you turn it, and a tiny piece of glued paper to be a mouth.

Grenda says, "This I admire the most, I remember every December I and my aunt would go to a bazaar at our church to pick out new Christmas ornaments, there was always a place where we made ornaments of our own. There was just so many arts and craft supply to choose from, I decided to make characters form a favorite carton show of mine, the inspired me to get into fighting.

Silent Jim once again a little puzzled. "A humanoid turtle gave you inspiration?"

"Well you know what they say inspiration comes for the most interesting and unexpected places."

She then hands the character up on the tree. Grenda she then looks to Silent Jim. "So Silent Him do you have a special ornament."

He then opens his box with a push of a button, the box black metallic box opens up , unfolds slowly and he takes an ornament out from one of the mini black boxes he presses a button to unfold slowly and shows her the ornament which is circular but consists of several twisting roadway that are curved, zig zagged, go side to side all around. Grenda looks at it with puzzlement over the ornament and interest looks toward him. "It looks nice, what is it?'

Silent Jim says, "It's a mini replica of the planet there are many roads and curves here where many people could easily get lost of years. Each town is different in shape like neighborhood of people living in circles. I really like this planet because I could just about explore forever especially hose zig zag roads that have all the Christmas shops and even pizza places within every turn, I still haven't tried all the pizza on those streets."

Grenda curious of his story says, "You think sometime after the holiday, we could go to that planet and try those pizza places.

Silent Jim looks at Grenda and says, "It shall be one of my Christmas presents for you."

Grenda smiles from Jim's comment and then she has her hand on her stomach.

Grenda says, "Speaking of pizza I'm starving."

Silent Jim says as he also holds his stomach. "My blood sugar levels have reached zero."

Both Talon and Candy reenter the living room and Grenda looks toward both, "As much as I enjoy the tour, is there anything to eat."

Talon/Darren says, "Yeah, it's been a long trip.

Talon then looks to Silent Jim and says, "Jim, Bruce Campbell's Soup."

Silent Jim he suddenly takes out in his trench coat a big can of soup, which has a sketched face of the actor in a chief's hat, with a big soup spoon in his right hand, and that usual smile he gives.

Talon/Darrien looks at the soup and says, "Clam Chowder, my favorite."

He then goes straight to the kitchen to cook up the soup while Candy comes with him to help fix up the rest of dinner. Meanwhile both Grenda and Silent Jim they pass the time by decorating more of the tree.

As some other neck of the woods, one car is crashed onto one of the trees. Adam, he gets up slowly form the wheel. He looks but can't hardly see a thing as his vision has gotten blurry. He feels the dashboard for his glasses. He then feels the handle of his glasses and then picks them up but he notices something different about the weight and then he uses his four finger to feel for a lens but can't feel one and actually has that four finger go thought where the lens should be. He realizes that his glasses are broken. Adam disguards the broken glasses and then he reaches into his coat pocket and takes out a small case, which is a contact lens case and he puts them on and he looks within the car and sees what has happened and sees the front of the car has crashed into something as the front has been scrunched in. He then looks to his right and sees Mabel whom is still unconscious from the crash, Adam he then unbuckles his seatbelt and then comes toward Mabel to check for a pulse but then suddenly she stirs up and then she looks at Adam and she is wondering.

Mabel says, "What, what are you doing leaning on me and what just happened."

Adam says, "I don't know something just hit us out of nowhere."

Mabel says, "But what possibly could have done it there is hardly any wildlife here."

Adam says, "Even if there was, there are none that could have done this to the car."

He helps Mabel get out and Mabel stands there for a while just to shake off the effect of the crash, Adam is taking a look at their car and sees a huge dent on the left side but also something else that was unusual, he looks closer and sees there are what looked like hole that were sized and shaped as if nail went thought he outer skin of the car. Mabel has shaken out of it and then she joins Adam in looking at the car and is a little amazed by what she sees.

Mabel says, "What could have done this some sort of bear."

Adam says, "No, I don't think so Bears hibernate at this time usually, those looks a little too small and narrow to be bear claws, besides the holes also look like their slightly bent."

"Like someone just grabbed this car and just shoved it onto this tree."

Adam says, "I suppose."

"But how is that possible?"

"From the weight of this car and speed we were going, I have no idea what could have done this."

"Wait what if what hit this car comes back for us?"

"Then let's not wait to find out."

He then looks at the road they've been on and wondering how far they are.

Adam says, "Let's get and take what we need out and get the map."

Adam, he unlocks the trunk with his remote and then takes out a couple of the cases and hands Mabel her case and they get some sort of packs in the back and open the packs up to put in some clothes. And then both put on some snowshoes.

Mabel says, "Wait our cells."

Adam then looks at her and says, "Yeah, of course, I'll dial up my brother see if he's arrived."

Mabel says, "I'll dial up mine too."

Both they try dialing in the numbers but for some reason the numbers aren't getting though as they have dead dial tone and their phones act screwy as there is just static and it just keeps flickering.

Mabel says, "I don't believe this, this was a new phone it shouldn't behave this way."

Adam says, "Same here."

"Are our phones damaged."

Adam looks at his, checking it front and back and side to side.

"No, their intact, and this is made from material to be anti-impact proof and resistant to any substance."

"So why are they on the blink?"

"I don't know unless they were hacked, but that wouldn't make sense where miles away from civilization away and in the wilderness where no one tower exists."

"So, we're non comunicado that means I can't talk to my brother or any of my friends Candy, Wendy and Gretchen."

"Yeah I'm afraid not."

They both put their cell phones away.

"Adam I'm worried, what if they didn't make it to the cabin, did that thing also come after them."

"Let's hope not, however I not totally worried about them they all can take care of themselves; I'm worried about us."

"You know another question we should ask ourselves is who would want to hack us and cause this?"

"We first need to survive long enough to find that answer and help our friends if we can reach them on time, alright let's find out where we're at."

Mabel takes out the map and Adam takes out the combat knife and unscrews the bottom handle and takes out a compass.

Mabel is looking at the map and then says, "Alright I think I figured out where we are."

She points to a part of the road.

"There was a sign back there that said Oni Road, this is road were on."

She points to the road.

Mabel says, "And this is our destination."

She then moves her finger up a way and then moves it to the secret pathway that has just been drawn on the map which leads up to a creek which is where Darren/Crimson Talon's cabin is.

Adam says, "That's about 10 miles away from here."

Mabel says, "That's still a long walk."

"And with this cold and the darkness it makes it more difficult. Alright here's the plan we'll walk the miles to cover the distance and possibly make it tonight but if not then we'll find some shelter, build a fire, and camp for tonight."

"What about that thing, won't it find us."

"It already has, but if we keep moving, we'll be harder to spot."

"Hiding while in motion."

Adam smiles.

"You catch on to the ways of the ninja quick."

"Only because I had a good teacher."

Adam nods and both Mabel and Adam, they both stick close to each other as their walking in the snow. But as they are walking there is something that is behind the tree that is seven and a half feet, pale white and grey skin, and has a long beard that has both Adam and Mabel in his sight with eyes that are both completely black.
