Chapter 12: Dipper 2
As they looked around for Ernest and Victoria, Star and Marco hear a roar sound.
"I think we should start running, before whatever's following us catches up." Marco said. So they started running, but after awhile, Marco fell over and broke his leg.
"Marco are you okay?" Asked Dipper.
"Of course not, my leg is broken!" Marco yelled in pain.
"Star, can you warp Marco home to take care of his worse?" Asked Pacifica.
"Of course i can. Lets go cutie." She said while walking over to Marco. Then they warped home. So Dipper and Pacifica continued looking for Ernest and Victoria alone. On the way, they hear the scream of a girl.
"Do you think it was Victoria?" Asked Pacifica.
"I sure it's her." Dipper replied, and they both started running toward the sound of the girl's scream. After a bit of running, they arrived in an open aria, surrounded by trees, berry bushes, and flowers. In the middle of the field, Victoria and Ernest were getting attacked by a 4 meters tall man like creature, with large dragon wings, razor sharp claws, shark like teeth and a long dragon tail.
"We have to help them." Pacifica said while running to Victoria's aide.
"No P, Don't!" Dipper yelled, but it was too late. The creature turned towards the girls, whipped both Pacifica and Victoria to the ground, grabbed them both with his scaly tail and flew up into the clouds and disappeared.
"Pacifica!" Dipper cried.
"Non Victorie, je suis désolé." Ernest yelled. (No Victoria, I'm sorry.)
"Ernest, lets go after him." Dipper said.
"How? We don't even know where they went, and even if we find them, How are we going to fight back?" Ernest cried.
"Well, i've got an ace up my sleeve." Dipper said while pulling out a sword and a tracking device out of his bag.
FLASHBACK to Dipper's dream that he had last night:
"You're going to need a sword." Bill said.
"That's it? Okay, thanks Bill." Dipper said.
"No problem, and by the way, make sure you give her a hug after you kill that beast." Bill said.
"Of course, I'm not an idiot." Dipper replied.
"Well, you never know." Bill said.
Real time:
"How did you know to bring a sword?" Asked Ernest.
"I just had a feeling." Dipper said and smiled. He looked at his hand. He started to get a headache, he started to sense where Pacifica was.
"This way." Dipper said pointing towards the northeast. So Dipper started running, Ernest followed closely behind him. But all of a sudden, Dipper couldn't sense her anymore.
"Now what?" Ernest yelled.
"Well I guess we continue to go northeast, we don't have much of a choice." Dipper said.
"Alright, then what are we waiting for!" Ernest shouted and started running. Dipper followed him into the thicker part of the woods. They ran, and ran, and ran, and ran, and ran, and ran, they ran for a long time, and finally they arrived in front of a cave, it was surrounded by thick vines, tall trees, and poisonous plants.
"We're here." Ernest said.
"But we don't know if the girls are in this cave." Dipper said. He took a deep breath and shouted:
"Pacifica, Victoria, are you girls there!" Dipper was replied with a roar. Then the ground started to shake, something was coming out of the cave. Dipper got his sword into an attacking position. The creature that was in the cave was the Mangon, he stood about 25 meters away and he had both girls tied in his long scaly tail. Pacifica shouted out:
"Dipper, thank god you're here!"
"Ernest, Dipper, you guys came!" Yelled Victoria.
"Don't worry girls, i'll get you both to safety." Dipper replied. The beast roared at Dipper and Ernest, Ernest stood back, but Dipper didn't move.
"Dipper, don't fight. It's too dangerous. We'll find a different way." Pacifica said. Dipper didn't reply and smiled. He started running at the creature, he was gaining speed. He felt like something was flowing through him. Dipper pointed the sword right at the Mangon and stabbed him in the knee. The creature cried out in pain and he threw a punch at Dipper. The boy wasn't ready and got sent flying back about 40 meters. The Mangon roared to show his strength and he started walking over to Dipper while throwing the girls onto the ground. Ernest raced over to Victoria's side while Dipper fought the beast. Dipper got up straight way and ran at the Mangon again, the creature dodged his attack and kicked him, which sent Dipper flying into the sky. Dipper smiled and said to himself:
"Just like Bill said, the kick into the air. Then he'll go for a bite and at the last second he'll go to the left." The Mangon flew up and opened his mouth, getting ready to eat him. Dipper pointed the sword downwards to stab the monster in the mouth. At the last second, the Mangon went to the left. Dipper smiled again and throw the sword into his eye. The monster's left eye was blinded. Dipper fell down into a tree and landed on a branch with his stomach, which hurt a lot. And the Mangon fell to the ground, the creature got up slowly while taking the sword out of his eye. Dipper got down from the tree, and started running towards the beast. The monster tried to claw Dipper, but he jumped over the hand, grabbed the sword, and stabbed the creature's hand. The Mangon was crying out in agony, but the beast got up and shot a fireball out of his mouth, Dipper got hit in the head and fainted.
In the Dream scape:
"Hey pine tree, you're doing great." Bill said while giving him a thumbs up.
"Really? I just got hit in the head by a fireball, how am i going great." Dipper said.
"Don't worry it's all part of the plan, now go for his wing, which will send him falling to the ground, then go for the final blow." Explained Bill.
"Okay but right know, i'm in the open. He could crush me with his dragon foot." Dipper said.
"Don't worry, i put a shield over you, plus, your sweetheart is waking you up." Bill said winked.
"Was that a wink or did you blink?" Asked Dipper.
"Come on kid, it was a wink! *sighs* it doesn't matter anyway, you need to go back and fight." Bill said and snaps his fingers, sending Dipper out of the dream scape.
Back in the real world:
Dipper woke up to the sight of Pacifica over him, he was in her arms and she was crying. Dipper put his hand on her face, whipped the tears off and said:
"Don't cry, i'm fine. Go hide, i've got to kill this b*tch." She replied with a nod, but before she could react, the Mangon grabbed her with his scaly tail. Dipper was furious. He got up and shouted:
"Let her go or i'll kill you where you stand!" The beast replied with a roar. Dipper grabbed the sword, and started running towards the beast faster then he did before, Dipper was blinded by pure rage. Whatever was flowing through him began to increase and made him more aggressive. The Mangon shoots another fireball, Dipper cut it up into dust. The monster flew into the air with Pacifica firmly in his tail. Dipper climbed up a tree as if he was a ninja. As he jumped into the air, the sound of thunder came from where he had left the ground, Dipper grabbed the Mangon by the foot and started climbing up the monster. He was able to cut the beast's wing which made the creature fall to the ground, then once on the ground, Dipper quickly reacted. He sprinted as fast as possible to run his blade through the heart of the Mangon in the heart. The creature roared a final time and tried to get a swing in, but it was too weak to move, it took its last breath and died. Dipper fell to the ground due to exhaustion, but he remembered that he needed to help Pacifica out of the beast's tail. He slowly got up and went over to Pacifica who was on the floor stuck under the monster's tail.
"I'm such an idiot, i put you in harms way. I'm so sorry P." Dipper apologized while removing the tail and gave her a hand to get up.
"Don't apologize, it was fun and i know you would come and save me and Victoria." Pacifica said while blushing. Just behind them, there was the sound of crying, Pacifica and Dipper turned around and saw Victoria in Ernest's arms crying.
"J'avais tellement peur, je croyais que j'allais mourir." (I was so scared, i thought i was going to die.) She cried.
"Pleure pas, je suis là." (Don't cry, i'm here.) He said while hugging her.
"Well, looks like he won this round." Dipper said.
"Hey Pines, do you think he could have taken down that beast all by himself? You still get a chance, and you never know, maybe it was for the best." Pacifica said and hugged Dipper. She started crying, Dipper held her in his arms and whispered:
"It's over, you're safe." She didn't reply, but she held him tighter. Than Dipper heard a whisper saying:
"You did it, you found the P." Dipper started thinking:
'Is Pacifica in the VELEP? Damn it Bill, why do you have to talk in riddles?'
"Are you okay Pines? you look a bit spaced out." Pacifica said.
"No i'm fine." Dipper replied and smiled. Later that day, after everyone has gone home, Dipper went into town to have a hot chocolate. He goes to his favorite café: SpaceCafe. He orders a classic hot chocolate, sits down and starts deciphering the riddle Bill gave him.
"What does Bill mean by 'you're going to have VELEP, I'm so proud of you.'?"
FLASHBACK to late night's dream:
"You're going to have VELEP, I'm so proud of you. VELEP is the most important thing you have to worry about. If you fail, you'll never be with your girl." Bill said and smiled.
"But what the hell is VELEP?" Dipper asked.
"Something that will lead you on the path to your Honey." Bill replied with laughter.
"What's so funny?" Asked Dipper.
"Don't worry, you already know V. Now you have to find the 4 others."
"But where do i start my search?" He asked.
"Sorry I can't tell you. You have to figure it out yourself." Explain Bill.
Back to the real time, Dipper tried to figure, but he couldn't figure it out. But from across the room he was being watched by a mysterious girl, the girl was looking at a photo on her phone and said to herself with a smile:
"So that's Dipper pines. Oh Victoria, you should really keep an eye on your men before someone like me takes them away."
