Pacifica was sleeping peacefully in the cave with her boyfriend, Dipper by her side. In about a few hours at dawn, they were going out to destroy one of Andrias' factories. It was at this moment she was suddenly feeling sick to her stomach. As if something was trying to burst out of her.
She quickly ran to the small tunnel marked, bathroom where she noticed Wally was busy taking a bath in a bucket.
"Pardon me, I'm having a…." Pacifica then ran to a bottomless pit, grabbed her stomach and threw up down it. "….Oh, I understand." Pacifica then threw up again. "I had no idea humans could vomit that much."
Pacifica, her face now looking disgusted, groaned as she wiped away the vomit dripping from her mouth."Uh…..Frog, that was awful." Pacifica then stood up but somehow, she felt like she was carrying an anvil in her stomach.
Wally's eyes went wide in shock. "Woah! I had no idea humans could inflate their stomachs!"
Pacifica raised her eyebrow in confusion before looking down and realising that she somehow had a nine month pregnancy month. Then, she screamed as something began moving around in the bump. A hand and a face imprinted on her skin and it began laughing while Pacifica screamed in horrifying pain.
Then, Pacifica shot out of bed and punched something across the cave and leading Dipper to wake up as well. "Huh, what? No Wendy, I want Pacifica!"
"Ow!" Turns out the thing Pacifica punched was none other than Wally as he rubbed his head. "I was just waking you up! We got a mission to do! Get dressed you lot! And hurry up!"
Hunter walked into the Pines' cave whilst putting his shirt on and sighed. "Did he do it to you?"
"Well, Pacifica screaming woke me up." Dipper replied. "Paz, is everything okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine." The terrified Pacifica replied. "Just had another disturbing dream."
"Do you want to talk about them?" Hunter asked.
"Nah." Pacifica replied as she held her stomach to feel it. But once again, there was nothing inside. "Anyway kid, you better leave. We're about to get changed. Actually, just stand outside and try and block us. Some frogs might wanna see what humans look like without clothes."
Hunter turned to face the passing frogs whom were trying to see what was going on behind him, but he was blocking them. "No, they like their privacy!"
Whilst Dipper and Pacifica were getting changed into their gear, Dipper raised an eyebrow as he search one of his pockets. "Hey Pacifica, have you seen my blaster?"
"No." Pacifica replied as she put her shirt on. "What, you think I stole it?!"
"Well, where you would you hide it?" Dipper asked.
"I'll tell you where, up my…."
"Language young lady!" Felicia yelled as she walked past, covering her daughter's ears. "Honestly, what is it with humans and such vile language."
"What was she about to say, Mom?" Ivy asked.
"Nothing Ivy!"
"Okay, I get it Paz." Dipper said as he finished putting on his suit. "But, whoever's using it, they probably don't know the defence mechanisms."
Pacifica chuckled. "Remember when Stan used it?"
Dipper laughed. "Couldn't talk to me for a week."
Dipper then opened a duffel bag that had an assortment of all sorts of gadgets. He picked one that looked like a screwdriver but appeared to have some kind of laser, he also put on a watch around his wrist, a tiny laser blaster attached to a spring that he put on his right wrist and a small rectangular device that he activated, revealing it to be some kind of energy sword. He grinned as he deactivated it and put it in his pocket. "Hey Paz, you have your equipment?"
"Yup. Laser rifle, my laser sword, lipstick flamethrower and the pepper spray." Pacifica replied.
"Wait, you brought pepper spray?"
"We're in a new world. It probably doesn't exist there." Pacifica retorted.
"Paz, as much as the pepper spray is a good item, I don't know when we'll be need that in a war with robots." Dipper said.
Just then, Wally jumped in. "We're going!" Pacifica screamed and sprayed the stinging spray in Wally's good eye, causing him to scream. "Ow! My good eye?! Why did humans make something so horrible?!"
"Sorry!" Pacifica responded.
Later, Team Pines were walking through the forest which somehow had a lot of vines hanging from the trees. Dipper was using his energy sword to get them out of the way of their sights.
During the walk, Dipper was telling Hunter about his and Pacifica's many adventures investigating paranormal activity. Their first instance at Pacifica's old mansion, then Weirdmageddon, then the Connecticut incident and then what happened at their house when they first moved in.
"So, what was wrong with the fridge?" Hunter asked.
"Well, when Pacifica went to get stuff for a homemade latte, the fridge was suddenly hot like a tourist destination." Dipper explained. "Then, I began to notice that everything was beginning to feel cold and that's when me and her realised that…"
"We're here." Pacifica interjected.
"Pacifica, I'm getting to that part." Dipper said.
"No, I think we're here." Pacifica pointed forward where he and Hunter saw a factory guarded by a ton of robots that were scanning the area for intruders.
Just as one of the tracking beams was about to hit them, Dipper quickly dived behind a rock with his girlfriend and Hunter following.
"Okay babe, what's the plan?" Pacifica asked.
Dipper reached into his duffel bag and pulled out what appeared to be a rocket launcher and a bomb. "How far can you teleport?" Dipper asked Hunter.
"From this distance, probably behind the factory." Hunter replied.
"Okay, you see this device?" Dipper asked as he handed a land mine device to him. "I need you to plant this device on the weak point then I'll fire this rocket launcher and it shall cause so much damage that it'll essentially be unbuildable. And to activate it, use this." He handed Hunter his sonic tool which the Grimwalker took. "Point and push the button until you hear a beep, beep noise. While Pacifica will watch you with a sniper and shoot any robots that will come your way."
"How many times have you guys done this?" Hunter asked.
"A lot." Dipper said.
"You should see what happened at the Amazon." Pacifica retorted.
"You and I remember the Amazon quite differently." Dipper remarked.
Just as Pacifica finished setting up the sniper, Hunter teleported behind a rock just behind the factory where he saw a few robots were guarding it.
Luckily, Pacifica used the silent weapon to take out the three soldiers, making a lot easier for Hunter to find a weak spot. He couldn't find anything at the back of the factory, so he teleported to the roof where a robot just jumped on where it was about to alert the others, until Pacifica shot it down.
Hunter noticed a something on the roof which happened to say, 'Do not touch.' He grinned and gave Pacifica a thumbs up.
Pacifica grinned and pumped her fist in the air. "Yes!" She then realised how loud she was and she and Dipper quickly ducked while the robots turned to check the noise. Dipper narrowed his eyes at Pacifica, whom just cringed. "Sorry, I got excited."
Hunter pulled the device Dipper gave him and placed it on the weak spot. He used the sonic tool, causing the land mine-like device to be activated.
"Nice one."
"Thanks." Hunter pushed the red button and then froze when he realised who was talking to him. He fell on his rear as he stared at the bald witch in fear.
It was none other than Malsacc, aiming his sword at him. "Hello, Hunter."
Hunter then began to panic. "No! No! You're not alive! You're dead! Yunan should have killed you!"
"So has Lilith, Luz and human technology." Malsacc retorted. He tried to stab Hunter, but he kicked him in the leg and accidentally rolled off the factory, alerting the robots to his presence.
"Uh oh." Dipper whispered as he peaked over the rock.
"Well, least they're distracted." Pacifica retorted as she pulled out her laser sword and began slicing them to pieces.
Dipper jumped over the rock where one of the robots aimed their weapons at the author. He then used the watch he had on his wrist to electrocute one of the robots, causing its weapons to ricochet, blowing up most of them.
Pacifica quickly pulled out one of her blasters and began blasting the robots, blowing their heads up. One of the robots was about to hit Pacifica, until Hunter teleported behind it and tore its head off.
"What happened kid?!" Pacifica asked.
"I saw him! Malsacc!" Hunter replied as he teleported behind a robot and hit him in the back with his Palisman and stabbed it in the eye with the handle.
Dipper jumped on one of the robots and stabbed it in the bald spot. "Malsacc?! Alive?!"
"You met him?!"
"Oh yeah! Luz used her powers to….."
"Babe, duck." Dipper did as Pacifica said as she shot a robot that was coming towards him.
"As I was saying…." Dipper used his watch that shot a small explosive device into the robot's neck, causing the head to explode. "Luz used her powers to uppercut him and I think he hit an airplane."
They heard one of the robots scream as Pacifica was using her lipstick flamethrower to set it ablaze before blowing it to smithereens with her blaster.
"He got stabbed in the back by Yunan!" Hunter yelled to Dipper.
"Sounds like he's some kind…cyborg."
"I don't know what that means, but sounds it." Hunter said.
"Fall back a bit." Dipper commanded.
The three began to back away from the factory while Pacifica was blasting the robots and Dipper was using his energy sword to slice a few that got a bit too close while Hunter used Flapjack to dent the robots.
Then, Dipper quickly deactivated his sword, pulled out the rocket launcher and fired it. The rocket landed where the mine device was located and it blew up the factory in a ginormous fiery blast that Dipper, Hunter and Pacifica avoided by jumping behind the rock. The fire engulfed the robots, destroying them in an instant.
Once the explosion died down, the three popped their heads up and saw that the factory was now nothing more than rubble. They smiled at each other, pleased with their accomplishment.
"Ha! Take that!" Pacifica chided.
"Let's now hope the others have got them." Dipper said.
"But what about Malsacc?" Hunter asked.
"I think we should leave before we find out if he's here." Dipper suggested as he stood up with the others following.
"Good idea." Pacifica said. "I don't know what will happen if we stand around for too long."
"Rubble!" Hunter screamed as he quickly dived behind a bush while Dipper and Pacifica quickly hid underneath an umbrella that happened to work as a shield.
Pacifica was holding on to Dipper, whom gave a confident smile as he lowered the umbrella. "Okay, I think that's…" Dipper quickly pulled it upwards again as more rubble landed. "….Okay, maybe there was a few more left." And then, one more piece landed in front of them.
"Do you think we should go instead of you showing off your weapon?" Pacifica asked.
Meanwhile, the former golden guard had landed face first into a puddle of mud. He groaned as he pulled himself out of the mud. "Uh." Then, small shrapnel landed in front of him and picked it up. "How many pieces of rubble are there?"
But when he looked up once again, he saw something that was going to horrify him for the rest of his life. There was a stick in front of him but what was on the stick was so horrifying that it was making Hunter terrified.
Because on the stick was none other than the head of the former golden guard that saved his life, Butcher. There was blood dripping down the stick and there were a few flies flying about.
"B…B..Butcher?!" Hunter stuttered. "No! No! No! No! Andrias is going to pay!"
Then, Hunter got kicked to the ground by someone from behind. He turned and saw Malsacc aiming his sword at him.
"Andrias had nothing to do with it." Malsacc said. "He unfortunately got in my way and I had to make sure he couldn't keep ahead."
"You're….you're….you're a monster!" Hunter screamed as he pulled Flapjack out.
He and Malsacc engaged in a Palisman and sword duel with each of them deflecting each hit. Hunter teleported behind Malsacc and tried to hit him, but then he caught the staff in his hand and slammed the former Golden Guard to the ground.
Hunter jumped up and tried to hit the witch, but he used his sword to deflect the impact and kicked Hunter in the chest.
Hunter was now angry and upset at what Malsacc did to Butcher. Sure he hadn't known him for long besides that one time he saved his life, but seeing his head on a spike was enough to make him hate Malsacc more.
Hunter screamed in anger as he was about to hit him. But then, Malsacc used his magic to summon some vines to hold him down as well as Flapjack. The former golden guard tried to get out, but he couldn't.
Malsacc then aimed his sword to Hunter's neck and narrowed his eyes at him. "The only reason why you're alive is because your uncle wishes to kill you personally."
"I know! I know!" Hunter said. "I know what he is! I know he's actually human! I know he's actually a witch hunter named Phillip Wittebane! And he's probably planning something to your people!"
Malsacc chuckled. "That's funny. Those were similar to what Butcher said."
Hunter was shocked. "You know?!"
Malsacc grinned. "The end of magic. Altogether."
"But….They're you're people." Hunter said.
"Do they matter?" Malsacc asked. "Do they at all matter? You're just a bunch of skin strung together on a bit of wood. You're not one of them. Now, I shall get to the palace so they can…."
Then, Malsacc got electrocuted in the head by someone from behind. He turned around and saw Dipper and Pacifica. The author was using his watch and pulled his sword out while Pacifica had her lipstick flamethrower and her own laser sword out.
"Let him go!" Pacifica demanded.
Malsacc grinned. "And I assume you're Pacifica? You're Hunter's own human. I…."
Dipper then charged at Malsacc and did an air kick to his chest. "Listen buddy, I've dealt with a lot of bad guy monologues and I always say the same thing, don't talk, just do." Dipper then positioned his right leg behind and his left leg in front. He raised his laser sword high in one hand and pointed two of his fingers towards Malsacc with the other.
"Babe, did you have to do that?" Pacifica asked.
"I always wanted to pose like that." Dipper said with a smirk.
"Okay, I'll play." Malsacc declared before running towards them with his sword out.
The three engaged in the sword fight where at first they were deflecting each other's hits. Malsacc did everything he could to kill both of them, but they kept deflecting each of his hits.
The golden guard punched Dipper in the face to stun him. Then he continued his fight with Pacifica until Dipper rejoined the fight and tried to put him off by cutting him.
Then, Malsacc did a backflip and tried to wrap the couple in vines but they only managed to slice them before he could trap them both. But it only put them off as Malsacc kicked Pacifica forward into a tree and wrapped some vines around her legs and sword hand.
"Pacifica!" Dipper screamed before charging at Malsacc.
The two continued to engage in their sword fight with Dipper trying to hit low, but Malsacc only deflecting it.
While they continued fighting, Team Anne poked their heads out of a bush and instantly pulled their heads back once they saw what was going on.
He tried to stab him in the face, then Dipper ducked and sliced his knee before the witch kicked Dipper in the face.
Dipper quickly jumped back up and kicked the witch in the face. Dipper tried hitting Malsacc, whom was dodging every single one of Dipper's swings and hits.
Then, he punched Dipper really hard to the ground, causing the author to be disarmed of his trusty weapon.
Malsacc aimed his sword at Dipper's neck and grinned. "You've been beaten. It is useless to stop someone like me."
Dipper smiled with confidence. "Except, I have faced worst than you. I have faced a demon in the middle of an apocalypse, I was turned into a wood by a ghost that haunted my girlfriend's house and the beast of Connecticut. To me, you're just another overpowered piece of filth."
"Mmm hmm. That's what you think." Malsacc was about to stab Dipper until the author quickly sprung the gun from his sleeve and tried to shoot him.
But the witch only deflected the blasts with a sword and shot the weapon off the author's wrists. "Nice moves." Dipper complimented.
"Thank you."
"Shame you were never in a relationship."
Malsacc raised an eyebrow until he heard some screaming coming from behind him. He noticed Pacifica jumping towards him with her laser sword in hand, ready for what appeared to be a killing blow until he deflected the hit.
"Nobody shoots my boyfriend except for me!" Pacifica quickly tried hitting the witch, who only deflected her hits. "At paintball and laser tag!" She deflected some of Malsacc's hits. "Specifically! Dipper, try and free Hunter!"
Pacifica tried chopping off Malsacc's head, but then the bald witch deflected the hit. The bald witch tried to stab Pacifica but then she deflected that hit.
Then Pacifica kicked Malsacc's leg and then gave him a head but to the head, that he returned to her. Then he tried to chop Pacifica lengthways but she blocked the sword and kicked Malsacc to the chest, causing him to be disarmed and taking his sword.
She spun the swords in her hands and grinned. "Dual wiled, punk!"
Malsacc grinned back and teleported right in front of her. "Mind reading thumb, punk!" He pressed his thumb to Pacifica's head, causing his and her pupils to dilate.
She began to see herself at five years old losing a beauty pageant and being yelled at her parents for it, being slapped at eight years old by her dad, hearing the ringing of the dreaded bell, meeting Mabel and trying to put her down, the golf incident where she began to see a different side to the Pines, the first time she hugged Dipper, that time she hugged Dipper in the sack of Mr-Whats-His-Face, surviving Weirdmageddon, realising that she liked Dipper as more than a friend, Dipper being scratched in the back by a mysterious beast, watching her dad shoot a cop dead, seeing her parents getting arrested, sharing her first kiss with Dipper, moving in with Dipper, watching him write his novel, coming out to Dipper, turning into a werewolf, meeting Hunter, hugging Hunter and being bitten by Granem.
Once Malsacc removed his thumb from the Northwest, she had tears pouring from her eyes while the bald witch seemed surprised with what he saw in her mind.
"Well, well, well." He grinned. "I was about to kill you but I guess I can't. Because soon an old friend…" But before Malsacc could finish, the angry Pacifica shot Malsacc in the chest, causing him to collapse to the ground.
"Die! Die! Die!" Pacifica screamed as she continued to shoot him. "Die! Die this time!"
Dipper held Pacifica by the wrist and gave her a gentle stare. "I think he's dead." He took the blaster out of the teary eyed Pacifica. "But to be sure." He then shot Malsacc seven times in the chest. "Okay, I think he's dead."
Later at the base, Dipper had just finished telling his story to Sasha and Anne. "Well, he better be dead this time." Anne said.
"Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he was alive." Sasha said.
"Impossible, I shot him six times!" Pacifica shouted before freezing. "Huh, that was weird say it." She then turned to Hunter and stared at him with sympathy over the horror he had seen today.
Sure he had seen a lot of horrors in the short time since she's known him, but a head on a stick was too much for the poor boy.
"Okay guys, think you two can handle tomorrow's mission?" Sasha asked Dipper and Pacifica.
"Pretty sure we can." Dipper replied confidently.
"Commander, permission to take some time away from missions?" Hunter asked.
"Hunter, my permission is granted." Sasha replied. "You look way too disturbed. You three are all dismissed."
Dipper, Pacifica and Hunter stood up and left the area to get some rest. Once they left, Sasha sighed with tiredness. "What a day."
"Tell me about it." Anne said.
"I mean, you giving up the rank of commander, new threat and Malsacc possibly coming back alive despite the fact he was shot 13 times." Sasha said.
"Don't worry Sash, tomorrow's a new day, maybe it'll be less stressful." Anne placed her hand on Sasha's shoulder, causing the commander to blush and turning away.
"Okay, I think we should deal with these complaints and suggestions." Sasha said.
Braddock walked up to Sasha with a box. "Okay, I got them!"
Sasha took the first piece of paper and began to read it. "This one's from Luz. Put doors on caves."
"100% yes." Anne responded.
"Okay next, bring back stand up night." Sasha sighed. "Wally!"
"Definitely not. Hop Pop would kill in the worst way possible."
"And finally, look for underground lake. From Soggy Joe." Sasha read out loud. "Hmm, not sure why he suggested that but he better come back for missions."
"If he did find one, it'd make a great beach day adventure." Anne said.
Then Luz showed up behind the two and had a ginormous smile on her face. "Tell him yes!"
