I've been receiving notes from you my dear readers asking, when I was going to update ,or why it's taking so long, or if I'm okay or am I abandoning it. Good news I'm not, I was planning to upload it today because it's my birthday and National Chocolate Cake Day. Bad news, I wont be updating for a while, my spring semester has started last week, and I do not want to fail any of my classes this semester. So do have patience okay?

And surprisingly, some of you have guessed right on what I'm doing for this chapter. For those who did, gives yourselves a pat on the back and a sweet, tasty dessert to eat.

Also, I saw the second Helluva Boss episode and I loved it. I'm keeping a lookout and having YouTube Notifications on when the next episode or announcement pops up.


There were a few people outside of the Mystery Shack and the Hazbin Hotel this morning, some of the town's folks decided to check out the Hazbin Hotel to see if it's really a hotel to stay in and not just a prop for the Mystery Shack's entertainment.

Inside the hotel, Dipper and Mabel were working with their demon in disguise friends. Dipper helping at the front desk and Mabel as a bellhop, there weren't any customers that wanted to check in for a night or two, so it was more of a walk around, look at what they got, see if there's a gift shop or by a drink to go. As the costumers were leaving, Mabel and Dipper turn to Charlie and Mabel asked, "Hey Charlie, can we go to the dinner? We're huuungry." "Huuungry." The two pines kids grab their bellies and start smacking against each other's stomach.

Laughing at their sibling antics, Charlie checked the time, her eyes widen in shock, "Holy shit. We've completely missed breakfast!" Niffty came out of the kitchen with a small frown on her face, "Not to alarm you, Ms. Charlie, but we're running out on our food storage in the kitchen." Seeing everyone looking hungry and all of the visitors leaving, it was a perfect time to close the hotel and go out to eat. "Looks like we're closing up early. Go find Stan and see if he would like to join us."

The twins nodded their heads and went to the Shack to find Stan. Turning to her friends, Charlie announce, "Looks like we'll be making a trip into town."

Time Skip

"I still can't believe you Stan. You lock a person inside your shop!" Vaggie scolded, "The yahoo wouldn't make up his mind. Besides, he wouldn't even notice that we're gone." Said Stan as he leads everyone inside Greesy's Dinner. It was still the same as Dipper, Angel, Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor remember. Crazy and running with animals, but the food wasn't that bad though. Upon entering the Dinner, the Pines' and the Hazbin's witness one of the waitresses swatting at a woodpecker on the wall and another one trying to hit a beaver that pop it's head out of the floorboard. Taking the lead, Stan walks over to the only biggest tables in the dinner has, they walk by Old Man McGucket, who's drinking way too much coffee making him even more jittery than normal or maybe the cause of him being jittery in the first place. They spotted Wendy and her family having their breakfast together, and the two policemen were having pancakes together, but were using a speeding tracking gun as a test to see how fast Sheriff Blubs and eat an entire stack of pancakes.

With Husk and Niffty sitting in the center, Charlie, Vaggie, Mabel and Stan sit beside Niffty with Stan sitting at the end. While Alastor, Baxter, Angel and Dipper sit over by Husk with Dipper sitting at the end. As they were seated, an old waitress lady with a lazy eyelid shut closed walks over to their table. Stan greets the waitress, "Lazy Susan! There's my little ray of sunshine! Where were you yesterday?" their waitress smiles and said happily, "I got hit by a bus!"

The hotel residents were shock to hear her getting hit, 'Maybe that's why her eye is wonky.' They all thought. What's even more shocking is that Stan was laughing at her respond, "Ha ha ha ha! Hilarious!" and Susan was taking it as a complement "Thank you. Ha ha ha ha hee hee ho ho ho." Niffty whispers over to Husk, "It must be how they flirt with each other." Husk whispers back, "They have a weird way of showing it." "You do split plates, right?" Stan ask the waitress who smiles back and said, "Maybe..." she lifts up her lazy eyelid and said, "Wink!" while winking at Stan. The moment was quite disturbing for them to witness. Unfazed by her flirting, Stan place down their order, "Great! We'll all split a one-fourth of the number seven, plus a free salad dressing for the lady, and a small plate of ketchup for the boy."

Not liking how Stan is being cheap on them or thinking about proper nutrition for Dipper and Mabel, Charlie politely ask Lazy Susan to give them a few minutes to look over their menus. Lazy Susan nodded her head as she writes down Stan's order and walks off. "But Grunkle Stan, I want pancakes!" Mabel whines, Stan turns to look down at her and said, "With the fancy flour they use these days? What am I, made of money?" he waves his hands around exaggerating, only to have a dollar bill slip out of his sleeves. "Tap tap." As funny as it is, Stan taps the money back into his sleeves. Angel snorted at Stan's money antics, finding the whole thing quite funny. As Mabel looks down dejectedly for not getting any pancakes, "Awww..."

"Don't worry, Mabel. We'll have a pancake breakfast at the hotel tomorrow." Charlie reassures the young girl, "Or we could win some pancakes." Said Dipper, pointing at a manliness tester with a sign that says, "Beat the high score and win free pancakes!" "I don't know, Dipper. Those kinds of games are rigged most of the time, and besides those pancakes look like they've been sitting out there since the first day of summer." Vaggie points out. It's true, those pancakes were moldy as hell.

Suddenly Stan and Mabel burst out laughing uncontrollably and banging their fist on the table, to Dipper and the demons of hell they look like they have lost their minds or something. "May I ask what you two find so amusing?" Alastor asked them. Wiping away her tears, Mabel answers, "Oh, no offense guys, but neither of you are not exactly "Manly Mannington." Ha ha ha!" and went back to laughing. Unknowingly that no one else but Stan was laughing with her. "Hey, I am too "Manly... Manny" or whatever it is you said." Dipper stood his ground, "And how would the two of you know? You not even a man, Mabel. And you're just a sad, wrinkly old elder." Said Baxter, but Stan knock them, Alastor, and Angel, down a couple of pegs. "Look, face the music, boys. You dress mix clothes like a filly. You're a mama's boy. You both got no muscles, some of ya' smell like baby wipes, and let's not forget last Tuesday's... 'incident'."

The Tuesday 'incident' is when Stan walks in on Dipper singing, "Disco Girl" in the bathroom when he was getting out of the shower. He even overheard Baxter singing about some girl named Barbie, Angel singing about being blue, and Alastor... Well the song he sang sounded like what his grandmother would sing, something about never fully dressed without a smile.

Mabel snorted at the songs Stan had listed, "You were listening to girly Icelandic pop sensation "BABBA"?" she said to her brother, "Don't you mean 'ABBA'?" Niffty corrected Mabel, "I thought you were also girly songs, Mabel. You who likes to do girly things on a regular basis. And you're telling me that a catchy pop song is girly? You're quite the hypocritic." Vaggie says crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at the 12 year old girl. "On a different note. Do you ever heard of knocking before entering?" said Baxter, "Or that curiosity kills the cat?" Husk shoots Alastor a mean glare, "And while we're at it. Who ya callin' a "filly", busta'? I'm more man you could ever be, baby." "Well ya' ain't talking like one." Stan retorted back at Angel. "Plus it's not my fault you guys were singing so loud." Angel, Alastor and Baxter glared at Stan with killing intense.

Recalling Mabel saying that he listens to BABBA, Dipper quickly said, "No. Heh heh, I wasn't. It's not important. Look, come on guys, I'm plenty masculine. You see this chest hair?" Dipper was about to pull his shirt open to expose his chest, but Vaggie quickly stops him from doing it, "Dipper! We're in a public diner! Not in a locker room!" "Sorry." Dipper mutters his apology quietly, while Stan and Mabel burst out laughing again.

Having enough of his family ridiculing, Dipper says, "Fine, "family of little faith." Get ready to eat your words And a plate a delicious pancakes." Knowing that Dipper would be humiliated by his family, Alastor send a little bit of his magic to make the game work in Dipper's favor. With Stan and Mabel distracted and seeing Alastor using his magic in public, Charlie quickly nudged Alastor to stop using his magic to cheat. With Alastor's magic cut off from the game, the game arrow drop down to the weaklings. "Oh, what? This thing must be broken. It's totally broken, guys. It's like a million years old, probably ran out of steam power or—" Dipper got cut off by a hard shove from Manly Dan who cracked his knuckles and only uses his PINKY on the handle. Which causes the machine to automatically hit manly man as it exploded sending pancakes everywhere.

As Manly Dan yells, "Pancakes for everyone!" and everyone cheering in excitement. Dipper removes a pancake that fell on his head to see Stan and Mabel laughing at him, and Mabel even have the gall to point at him. Thankfully, the only ones who weren't laughing were Charlie and the gang. The expression they were showing to him was pity and sorrow while giving his family looks that would kill them a hundred times more. Feeling the world closing in on him, Dipper ran out of the dinner, "I need to get some chest hair and fast." He said, only to be tripped over by a beaver poking it's head out of the hole. "I'm fine! Heh heh! Everything's fine!" Dipper says as he exits out.

"Yeesh! How am I related to that?" Just as those words left his mouth, Angel's glared at the old man as he got up from the booth and send a flying right hook into Stan's right eye. "OW! Wha- what the heck was that for!?" "Figure it out yourself old man shit! You're just as bad as Henroin." Angel mutters under his breath on that last part, as he got up and started to leave the dinner before saying, "I've lost my appetite." while giving Stan and Mabel a 'fuck you' as he walks out the door to find Dipper. "I'm going to take my leave as well." Said Alastor, "Same here." Said Baxter. The two sinners also got up from their seats and follows Angel out of the dinner.

Looking at the girls, minus Mabel, and Husk, how were giving him looks of utter disappointment and detestation. "What?" Stan asked, that question set Vaggie and Charlie off. "'What'?! What the fuck is wrong with you!" Vaggie screech, "Why did you have to laugh at Dipper and hurt his feeling!?" Charlie demanded an explanation at their actions. "Dipper knows it just a joke. He can handle it." said Mabel feeling confident that she is right. But she's not. "No. What you did was very hurtful! And the more you keep ridiculing him the more likely he might start self-hating, self-inflicting pain and eventually taking his own life. And all because you guys think its so fucking funny to treat your family like shit!" Taking back by her words Mabel felt scared as tears start to form in her eyes, "Mabel. Please don't try to make us feel sad for you because we've said hurtful things to you. You hurt your own twin brother. How long have you been doing this to Dipper, Mabel?"

Mabel didn't answer, she just cheer herself up and changed the subject to Stan, "Come on, Grunkle Stan. I'm sure deep down you have a soft side too." 'She's avoiding the question.' Charlie, Vaggie, Niffty and Husk thought bitterly, "Ha! Nothing in here but a cold, dark, empty soul." Stan replied, "Which matches your outer self." Vaggie commented making Stan feel offensive. Just then, Lazy Susan came back with Stan's Order, "Food!" she announce, as she sets it on their table. But what happened next really baffled the sinners and Charlie, Stan stutter his thanks. "Thanks there, sugar pot. I-I mean, I mean uh honey wasp, kitten baby, b-baby cow." "Ha ha! Silly!" said Lazy Susan as she walks away, "Silly man..."

Still baffled at what just transpire, Husk just hand to say the one thing that's in everyone's mind, "Okay. What the hell was that all about?" Stan quickly said, "Nothing. I don't wanna talk about it. Talk about what? Why is this table wet?" Squinting their eyes in suspicious, Vaggie and Charlie seem to have found away to get back at Stan. While Mabel was putting two and to together. "Wait just a second. I think I have an idea happening here. You..." "No!" Stan cried, "And her..." Niffty joins in, "Stop it!" Stan pleads fell onto deaf ears, or there's going to be deaf ears with how Mabel and Niffty were screeching with excitement and Charlie and Vaggie laughing at the turn of event, and Husk. Well, he covered his ears from the noise. "AAAHH!" "Oh boy." Stan grumbles in utter embarrassment. "You have a thing for Lazy Susan! You do have a soft side!" Mabel points at her great uncle with glee.

Stan quickly shush them up, "Keep it down, will ya?! Alright. I admit it, okay? It would be nice if she liked me. But I've been out of the game for so long I wouldn't know where to start. I mean, look at her. She's so classy." Everyone turn to see Lazy Susan hitting the spinning pie trolley to get it to work while crying, "Spin, ya dumb pies, spin!" "Yeah, She's real-ly classy." Vaggie said sarcastically, still pissed off at Stan belittling Dipper's masculinity. Although she does feels a tiny bit sorry for the guys, but if she hadn't seen their reaction, she wouldn't care less about it. What Stan said really crosses some lines about them.

"Grunkle Stan, you are a cranky, gross, weird old man." Mabel pointed out Stan's old and grumpy nature, "But we will get Lazy Susan to like you because nothing is stronger than the power of—" "Love?" Stan suggested, while Husk proclaim, "I lost the ability to love years ago." Mabel turns to him and says, "And we're going to fix that!" before turning her attention back to her Grunkle Stan, "Mabel. To victory!" and drinks the salad dressing. Charlie, Vaggie, Husk and Niffty look at her in disgust.

But one this is for certain, they will use this opportunity to punish them for mocking Dipper and the guys.

Meanwhile with Dipper, Angel, Alastor, and Baxter

Angel, Alastor and Baxter were trying to catch up with Dipper who was walking very fast down the street. "Not manly enough, stupid diner, stupid lumberjack..." "Ma- Dipper! Wait up!" Dipper stopped walking when he heard his real name being called out by Anthony, or rather Angel. "Don't listen to them. They're not manly enough either." Baxter tries to reassure Dipper not to worry, but he was slightly doubting himself about his masculinity too. Angel decided to make a joke, "Besides, your sister doesn't even have a dick and yet she's acting like one." Dipper let out a snort and gave Angel a glare. Even though he didn't like people talking bad about Mabel, he had to admit that the joke was kind of funny. "And that game, whoever made design it is a buffoon with no respect and only want to rally up the audience's emotions." Alastor pointed out.

"Guys. I really appreciate all of you trying to make me feel better, but—" Said Dipper dejectedly, but got cut off when he and the guys got sprayed by some water. "Gah!" "What the hell?" "Shit! My make-up!" moving out of the spraying water, the guys sees Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland investigation a fire hydrant shooting out water in every direction. "Another hydrant destroyed. It's a gosh dang mystery." Said Blubs, Durland then suggested, "Wanna take off our uniforms and run around in circles?" Seeing Blubs with his shirt already off, the sheriff's reply to his deputy was, "Quit readin' my mind." And then they started to do just that. Running around the hydrant waving their shirts in the air, screaming in delight in circles.

Not wanting to get anymore wet then they already are, Dipper backs away only to accidently bump into a woman. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking for the mailman." Before Dipper could retaliate, Alastor came in and gave the lady directions, "The correct word you're looking for is "post man", and the office is a few blocks down there." She smiled and said , "Thanks, hope you guys and gals have a good day." That set Dipper off. "I'm a guy!" he shouted and ran off into the woods, "For future notice toots: Don't judge a book by its cover and be careful of what you say. Otherwise ya be pissing off the wrong guy." Said Angel as he glares at the lady before he and the others chases after Dipper again.

When they found him again, he was on the ground bench pressing with a small tree branch as a weight. "Okay Dipper. This is getting ridiculous." Taking the branch out of Dipper's hands and pulling him up into a sitting position. "Dipper my boy, you don't have to lift weights to prove that your 'a man'. It just takes time." Said Alastor as he sits down beside the young boy, "Then what's the secret? Is it physical, is it mental?" "Wish I have the answer." Baxter admitted as he sat on the log next to them.

Pinching the bridge between his nose, Angel took a moment to calm himself. 'I can't believe I'm saying this.' "In all honesty from what I'm seeing, Dipper. Is that ya trying to fix yourself just to please and change your family's view on you." Dipper look up at Angel with an expression that reads, "What do you mean?" "You already know that I'm gay. And that I was born into a mafia family... Pops was, and pretty much still is, a homophobic. He didn't like the idea of one of his sons being gay. If word got out, it would bring shame to our family's name and to his business. So the only way to change that and to make sure no one knows by his logic, is to beat the shit out of me until I start being what he wants me to be more normal like everyone else and be more like my brother. And if I don't, he'll call the doctors and take me to the hospital asylum to "cure" me from my so called "illness". You can guess what I had to do in order to live."

Dipper, Alastor, and Baxter couldn't believe that Angel's father threaten him all his life and had to hid his true self from everyone when he was alive. "I take it Henroin is your father's name then?" Alastor question Angel who nodded and said, "yeah. He changed his true name when he came to hell too." "That explains why you've punch Stan in the eye." Dipper stare at Baxter then to Angel, "You did what?!" "Stan had it comin'! He said something that pissed me, Charlie and Vags off. Ya should have seen Vaggie Dipper, she look like she was going to shove her harpoon up Stan's ass" Angel explained, "Do I really need to know what he said?" Dipper asked concerningly. Not sure to tell him in his great uncle's exact words, Alastor said, "He was just wondering how you and he are related." Unsure if he means their family tree or just how different he is or how weak Stan thinks he is. All Dipper could say is, "Wish I was there to see it actually happen."

Suddenly, Dipper's stomach started to growl. "Guess I'm still hungry." Dipper sheepishly admitted, "I think we all are." Baxter joke slightly, "Why don't we go find a café and have brunch there?" Alastor suggested, that was then Dipper realize that he had some snacks with him. "Wait, I have some jerky I got from the vending machine. Guess I completely forgot about them." he said as he fishes out the beef meat strips from his vest. Just then, the ground begins to shake setting the sinners on edge, as a very hard and a large roar is heard through the dense forest. Various of wilderness animals flies or runs out from the opposite direction of where the noise is coming from. Even Manly Dan was running with the animals in fright, "For the love of all that's holy, run!" he cries as he continues to run away.

"Not so manly now, are ya!?" Angel yells at the lumberjack, but the sound of a tree falling over laps his insults. Dipper quickly snatches his hat before it got crushed, while Alastor grabbed Dipper and pulls him out of the way. "Dipper, get behind that log." Alastor ordered as he and the others transform into their demon forms ready to fight off whatever creature that's heading their way. It let out another roar scaring Dipper to cry out in shock in high pitch scream, "Wait...sorry." but quickly changes his scream to a lower octave scream but sends him into a coughing fit.

Stepping out of the forest was a huge humanoid bull creature that look like it came straight out of a mythology book. It had a red-ish brown beard in a low tied tail and a mustache, a white toga loincloth and a red bandana, ears, horns and hooves like a bull, and a dark brown tattoo of the symbol for male gender on its shoulder. It let out another roar only the roar was more of a yawn, and what this creature did next really set Alastor on edge. It grab a buck not too far off behind a bush, uses its antlers as a back scratcher, and taust it over its shoulders. Free from its grasp, the buck took off running. And Alastor felt he should do the same thing. The creature turns his attention to where Dipper was hiding, as he stomps over to the boy Angel, Alastor, and Baxter stood their ground to ward him off with their guns, magic, and explosive chemicals. But the beast pushes them aside and knocks the log out of the way too, leaving Dipper expose.

Dipper crawl back in fear of what it's going to do to him, "Please don't eat me! I haven't showered! In like a week!" "Dipper!" The adults shouted at him scoldingly, no wonder the hotel and the shack was starting to smell awful these past few days. "And I'm all elbows! Elbows, and gristle!" the mythology creature points at Dipper and shouts, "YOU...! Gonna finish that?" the guys looks at the bag of jerky that Dipper was holding, 'so all he wanted was the jerky?' they all thought in disbelief. No longer feeling hunger, Dipper answered the beast's question, "No." and tosses it to him, who began eating them like an animal.

Keeping their distance away from the creature, Angel, Alastor, and Baxter walked around the hungry beast and went back over to Dipper who was aweing at sight of this creature of Gravity Falls, "I can't believe it, part animal, part human. Are you some kind of Minotaur?" Dipper asked the huge muscle guy, who answers with a ponding fist to the earth shaking the ground and sending humans, demon sinners, and nature bouncing in the air. "I'm a manotaur! Half man! Half...uh...half taur!" "And what is your name, sir?" Alastor asked the manotaur, "I am called Chutzpar!" Chutzpar declared, Dipper tries to rap his head around at how Chutzpar found them, "So did I, like, summon you or-?" the manotaur proclaim that it was, "The smell of jerky summoned me! JERKY!" and then punches a tree down with his bare fist and smashes a rock against his head to pieces, "YEAH! Ha ha! Heh."

Suddenly, Chutzpar starts sniffing the air and then smells the guys and Dipper, "Do you mind!? Obey the five foot rule, please!" ignoring Alastor's warnings, Chutzpar says, "I smell... emotional issues!" "I- we were having problems, Manotaur. Man-related problems." Dipper answered, not wanting to stay here with this big brute any longer, Alastor quickly added, "Which we've already gone over and discussed." "Yeah, I have to agree with Smiles." Said Angel, "I'm not offering any of my time or service to a brute rando in the woods." While Baxter said, "Let's go guys. Come on, Dipper." The manotaur didn't like their attitudes or responds, "You deer, fish, and other spider hybrid humans do not know the RESPECT of a MAN!" turning around Angel barks back, "Listen ya' di— wait a minute." It was then Angel caught what the manotuar had called him, "Did you just say, 'other spider'?" Angel ask raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, this spider came into our mountain yesterday. My people forced him to leave, but he fire back at us with his fire power! And claim our mountain as his own." Chutzpar replied. "This 'spider'. Does he have a hair style like mine, only black short in the back and long strands dropping from the front, and has wight red eyes?" Chutzpar gave it some thought before nodding his head, "Yeah." 'It can't be...' Angel thought. "Angel, do you know this spider fellow?" Baxter asked him. "I want to be sure." He reply before turning his attention back Chutzpar, "Do you think you cloud lead me to him?" "And maybe give us some pointers about being manly?" Dipper asked, only to get scolded by Alastor for ever suggesting such a terrible idea.

Much to Alastor's dismay, Chutzpar agreed with Dipper's request. "Very well. Climb atop my back hair, child!" Chutzpar's back hair is a total gross mess! 'Did is guy ever take a shower or a bath?!' before Dipper could give his answer, Angel stops him, "How 'bout we follow you instead?" "Hmm. Very well." Chutzpar then grab Baxter in his big hands and hoist him up onto his shoulders, "I'll just carry this one, cause he looks like he can't run very fast." He said as he starts taking off with Baxter on his back. Startled of him practically kidnapping their companion, they gave chase to the manotaur. With Alastor sleeking in the shadows, and Angel taking Dipper in his arms again and jumps from tree to tree to keep up with the crazy running manotaur with Baxter screaming bloody marry and getting hit by tree branches and a birds nest.

Moving the birds nest that actually has baby birds in it from his face, Baxter was not prepared for what is coming up ahead. Chutzpar yells as he jumps over a gorge while Baxter clings on him for dear life as they crash through the side of a mountain. Angel mange to land safely on the side of the mountain, with Dipper still cling onto him, shaken, but still good. While Alastor pop up beside him. "That was quite a thrill of a lifetime." Said Alastor, as he, Angel, and Dipper poke their heads in the hole Chutzpar and Baxter had left them. Turns out the inside of the mountain is actually a cave filled many house hold objects: couches, TV's bar table, foosball, weights, you name it. And of cause, the area is filled with manotaurs doing everything in the cave. From wrestling to playing games and lifting weights.

Dipper astound, "This place is amazing!" "The gnomes live in the trees, the merpeople live in the water, 'Cause they're losers!" Chutzpar explains with bold confidence, "That's a little harsh." Baxter mutters under his breath only for Alastor and Angel to heard, "But we Manotaurs, crash in the MAN CAVE!" "Literally." Said Angel deadpanned, as Chutzpar rings the gong, making every manotaurs to stop what they are doing and turn their attention to Chutzpar. "BEASTS! I have brought you, a hairless child! And his hybrid animals!" Chutzpar announced pushing Dipper and the three male hotel residence forward. "Hey." "Hello!" "...S'up." "How's it going?" Chutzpar then starts naming off some his fellow manotaurs, but before he could ask what their names are, Angel cuts in demanding, "Will skip the names, where is the other spider you've mention?"

One of the manotaurs step forward, "And why do you wish to know? Girly man?" Angel glared at the beast, "Because, ass face, I may know who he is." All of the manotaurs murmured, "He swear!" "He got guts!" "Does my face look like an ass too?" walking off the cursing insult, Chutzpar answer's the spider demon's question, "He's behind that bolder we move to keep him sealed in a smaller room cave from attacking us. Only one the strongest of man! Can move such a humongous rock could ever—" Hearing enough of Chatzpar running his mouth man nonsense, Alastor grips his hand and uses his magic to crush the rock into piece. Angel quickly thanked the Radio Demon and went by the entrance of the cave to see the spider hybrid walking out. "Well, I never expect to see you here, in a place like this. Nissy."

A growl came out from the cave and stepping out of that said cave was the spider that the manotaurs were talking about. And the way Angel described him were also to a T, the guy had a black suit and pale yellow pants and black men's boots. He even had a spider web bow tie in the same pale yellow color as his under shirt and pants. But the one thing that surprised, Dipper, Alastor, and Baxter of all. Was that his height is small, almost at the exact same height as Niffty's only a few or more millimeters taller than her. "What? Can't I give my l-big brother a nickname?" Angel quickly corrected his question to his little big brother, who calmly replies, "Oh no, I don't mind the nickname... Tony!" only to smugly respond to his little brother's real name nickname. Taken by surprise, Angel whips out one of his hand held gun, clicks off the safety trigger, and shove the barrel of the gun into his brother's side of his face. Who also responded the same thing with his gun barrel in Angel's face. "Why I Oughta!" "I'd like ta see ya try, Tony!"

'There was no doubt about it, this guy is definitely Angel's older brother.' Dipper, Alastor, and Baxter thought as they witness the scene playing in front of them. "Hate to interrupt, but I take it that you are Angel's older brother?" realizing that there are other's present in the cave with them, the two spider demons put away their guns and try to be a bit more civil around each other. "Yeah, the names Arackniss. Laugh and I'll shoot." Arackniss threatens before he turns to his younger brother, "Tell me, Tony." "Don't call me that." "What possessed you to go out and have the four way with the Radio Demon, an angel fish, and a human kid?!" "Hey! I'm not always a slut, ya know!" Angel snap, "Al's not into it and neither is Bax. And what in gods fucking name are ya thinking?! I don't do kids! Not NOW! Nor EVER!" As Angel rant at Arackniss for ever thinking that idea, Angel was very grateful for Alastor to cover Dipper's ears blocking out their conversation.

Letting go of the young lad's ears, Alastor walks over to the two brothers. "So you're Angel's older brother. It's quite a pleasure to meet sir." "Can't say the same to you. Never in my afterlife I would get a chance to meet the Radio Demon Overlord and still be alive." Arackniss replied, Alastor glares down at the small spider not liking his negative attitude towards him. "I don't go on a killing spree every single day as some folks exaggerate on what they say about me." "Sorry. I don't really take everything into consideration on what people say out in the streets or rumors speeding around. Even if it's the truth or not." Arackniss explains, "That is both good and terrible habit to have." Baxter commented while Angel nodded in agreement, he's been dealing with his brother's antics and habits all his life and afterlife.

"I DON'T LIKE YOUR FACE!"

The sudden loud screaming broke their conversation, turning their heads to the sounds of yelling and punches. The demons see that the manotaurs have started a fighting brawl and Dipper was smiling at them fighting and said, "I like these guys." And the way he said it is pretty much exactly how Mabel would say when she's in a situation like this. "Man, Dipper is a bit like Mabel than he realize." Arackniss looks at Baxter in confusion, "The kid's a bit like maple?" Angel snorted at his brother's words, "No. Mabel. She and Dipper are twins." "Oh.. great." As if one pair of twins weren't enough to deal with in one life time, Arackniss now has to deal with another pair? What the hell life.

The four adults crept up behind Dipper wanting to know why these beast men are fighting, Alastor clears his throat startling the young man. "Dipper. What did you do?" looking up at the stern glaring demons, Dipper gulped and explain in a shaky voice, "I may have told them if they could show us how to become a strong man." And quickly added squeaky, "Don't kill me." "Relax, we're not going to kill you. We're going to punish you." Alastor responded cheerfully, "Then why does it feel like you're going to kill me?" "Because the punishment may or may not kill you?" Angel suggested, suddenly his phone went off buzzing. Pulling it out from his pocket, Angel sees a text from Charlie. And what it said made him chuckled, "You guys are not gonna believe this. Turns out Stan has the hots for that lazy eye waitress back at the dinner and Mabel is planning to get Stan to go out with her."

Those who know what Angel is talking about chuckled or groan at the text. "Oh no, Mabel is going to try match make Grunkle Stan with Lazy Susan." Dipper moan is disgust, "I take it that this is a regular thing?" Baxter asked, "Too much of a regular thing. She's been doing this sense we were little kids, sometimes it's me or someone from school or in our neighborhood." Dipper answered, and their reaction were a mix of anger, piss off, disbelief, or all of the above. Suddenly an idea pops into Angel's head, "Well since Mabel and Stan cause trouble earlier, how about we return the favor?"

Dipper, Alastor, and Baxter were concern and interested at Angel's offer. While Arackniss was feeling very left out and pissed about it. "Whatever you're planning on, I'm in." "As long I can get some enjoyment out of it." "As long as no one's getting killed!" Dipper quickly added, 'I do want to get back at them, but I don't want to hurt them.' "What exactly happened at that dinner you keep talkin' 'bout!?" Arackniss snapped. Baxter told Arackniss what happened as Angel text a they reply back along with the 'revenge' plan to Charlie.

Meanwhile

"Vaggie, are you sure this is a good idea?" Charlie ask her girlfriend concerningly, who strongly respond, "Hun, Mabel and Stan really cross the line when it comes to family support. They deserve to face some consequences for their actions." "But still..." "Charlie listen to me. You wanted to punch Stan in the face just as much as me and surprisingly Angel, but they can't just go on while not taking responsibility for their actions. Besides, we don't have to maim them, we just need to find a legal way to get back at them." a ping went off from Charlie's hellphone, opening it up to see Angel's replies, "Angel replies, 'LOL! That is fucking karma right there! Dipper says Mabel's been doing match making for a really long time, with him and some other or adults, teens, and kids from their neighborhood and school'." Taken back at Dipper's reply, the two ladies are now considering to take their plan into action. "Oh my gosh, it's like she doesn't know the meaning of staying out of people's personal life or reading the mood." Said Vaggie.

After the fiasco at the dinner, Charlie, and the others just left the dinner and went to a nearby café and bought coffee drinks, two breakfast sandwiches, a muffin, and a croissant. Charlie and Vaggie were at the Shack with Stan and Mabel along with Wendy and Soos, who came in for work or hang out, while Husk and Niffty were looking after the hotel. Sitting at the living room table, Stan was shuffling cards when Mabel came up with a camera behind her back, "Okay, Grunkle Stan. Welcome to the first day of whatever is left of your life! First, a before picture." She says as she takes a picture of Stan which startles him with the flash going off and sending cards flying in the air.

"I never miss a scrapbookertunity!" Mabel declare as she opens up her summer scrapbook and slaps the picture of Stan in one of the empty pages while humming an off tune, "Deedly dum, memories. Bap!" Looking over the 12 year old girl's shoulder, Vaggie and Charlie can see pictures of Dipper investigating the Wax Stan murder case, and the fishing trip. Thankfully, the pictures of them were in their human forms, but that still didn't ease their worry if Mabel would sneaking a photo of them in their demon forms without them knowing. "Let's start out with some roleplaying. Soos will play Lazy Susan." Mabel mand a hand gesture point to Soos dressed as a waitress at the dinner with makeup and everything, "I'm soft, like a woman." Vaggie crosses her arms and gave him a look, "What's that supposed to mean?" she challenged the handyman, Soos chuckles nervously under the manager's glare and responded, "Oh, haha. Sorry it just like- boom- just popped in my head there." This seem to relax the moth demon, but her hard glare never left her face.

Going back at the task at hand, Mabel resume where she left off, "Grunkle Stan, show me how you approach a woman. Remember this is a safe, non-judgemental environment. I'll just be right off the side judging you on a scale from one to ten." Getting up from his seat, Stan walks up to Soos who flutters his eyelashes to his boss. Of course the ladies cringed a little, it would seem that Soos is really taking this roleplaying seriously and if it were Angel... Oh god. Charlie and Vaggie don't want to even think of that! Stan look like he was going to say something, but instead he spits to the side of the floor and ask, "Can I borrow some money?" like his asking a random person. Mabel blows a whistle and announce her thoughts out loud, "This is gonna be harder than I thought."

While Charlie and Vaggie were finding this situation funny than they expect it to be. And perhaps the perfect opportunity to get Mabel to talk about her actions and relationship she has with her brother and how she see it.

Meanwhile back in the man cave of the Manotaurs

While the manotaurs were fighting, Arackniss was finally caught up at what his brother along with his acquaintances had gone through over the past couple of weeks and why and what they are doing here. "So this Stan Pines was talkin' shit to his own grandnephew, and the kid's own twin sister was in on it? That's whole lot of fucking bullshit they pulled." Said Arackniss, "I know, Molly never did something like that. Pops definitely, but I can never see Molly belittling me like that. You Arie... Eh, more in the gray area." Hating his brother's choice of nicknames for him, Arackniss couldn't help but feel a tad bit honored that Angel doesn't fully hate him. But still it makes him wonder if Angel would understand his reasonings for inflicting some damages on theirs and Molly's bond when they were alive, and all the way into their afterlives.

A few feet away, Alastor and Baxter were lecturing Dipper for not only asking the manotaurs to teach them to be manly but also having titles to their names to sound more manly. Dipper the Destructor, Alastor the Sorcerer, Baxter the Alchemist and Angel Dust the Gunslinger. Heck even Arackniss got a title; Arackniss the Mobster. Even though Dipper did went behind their backs, they have to admit he's pretty creative on their title names.

"After a lot of punching, we have decided to deny your request to learn our manly secrets." Said one of the bruised up manotaur while another one shouted, "Denied!" and punches himself in the face. Leaving the guys to question if he's making a point or is just being stupid. "That's fine with us, we didn't even want to be here to know your ways of being a 'man' as you say." Said Alastor, "What are you saying, Sorcerer?" ignoring that ridiculous name, Alastor continued, "We only came to know if your spider guest happens to be someone we know or not. And I do thank you for leading us here, so we'll be on our way and we'll be taking Mr. Arackniss with us." They started to leave the cave, but Dipper had other ideas, "Denied? Ok, fine. That's ok with me. Obviously, you guys think it would be too hard to train me. Maybe, you're not man enough to try."

Everyone stop and turn to the young boy, "Dipper!" Alastor, Angel and Baxter screamed his name while Arackniss shouted, "Kid!" One of the manotaur stomps forward to them, "Not MAN enough!?" he shouts while Chutzpar tries to reason or warn Dipper he's pushing his boundaries, "Destructor..." "Dipper what the hell are you thinking!?" said Angel, "Not MAN enough!?" the same manotaur shouted again. Alastor and Chutzpar both cried,"He didn't mean it." To the pissed off manotaur, who then started to list off is manly appearance, "I have three Y chromosomes, six adam's apples, pecs on my abs and FISTS FOR NIPPLES!"

Alastor cringe in disgust, "That sir, is really disturbing." while Angel stare and said, "I'm having some very confusing emotions right now." "I thought you would be into these kinds of men? Or turned on at least." Arackness asked his brother, "They're not my type." Angel quickly replied to his big brother, and whispers in a low voice, "Plus, they don't show much of intelligence or have good appearances. I mean they're part farm animals" 'That explains it.' Arackniss thought irritatedly, but said, "I can't help but to agree with you there." Despite the change of topic and the threat warning, Dipper did not back down. "Seems to me you're too scared to teach us how to be a man." Dipper then started to mock them and make chicken noises, "Hey, do you guys hear that? It sounds like... Bock-bock. Bock. Oh, that's weird-Bocock, bocAW! Is that?-BACAWK! That sounds like-BACAW! Yeah, a bunch of chickens!"

The manotaurs gasp in shock and went back into a huddle again, "I feel all weird." "He's using some sort of brain magic!" While they were talking, Alastor, Angel, Arackniss and Baxter were impressed with Dipper's cunning inverse psychology, "Good show there, young Dipper. But none of us truly wants to be here or agreed with your idea." Said Alastor, "We only came for my brother and nothing else." Said Angel, "What am I? a damsel in destress?" Arackniss asked sourly, "Sorry, moody." You can almost feel the sarcastic sass coming out of Angel's voice. The huddled manotaurs break formation and the manotaur with fists for nipples spoked again, "After a second round of deliberation, we have decided to help you become a man!" all of the manotuars were chanting, "Man! Man! Man!" the sinners of hell groan in annoyance while Dipper seemed a little pleased at this, "Great! Thanks guys, whatever it is, I-we will not let you down." "Oh no. There is no 'we'. This is all on you, Dipper." Said Baxter, "No excuses! Time to be a MAN!" the manotaur yelled as he grabbed Baxter and Dipper while the other manotaurs grab Alastor, Angel and Arackniss, and headed out of their cave.

They took them to the base of the mountain, there they and other manotaurs sand in front of a hole, Chutzpar speaks first, "Being a man is about conquering your fears." As the next manotaurs announce their first task, "For your first man test, you all must plunge your fist-INTO THE PAIN HOLE!" every manotaurs wince in fright as phantom pains from their experiences of putting their hands into that hole.

All of the hell residents and Dipper just stared at them and asked confusingly at the challenge, "The what...?" they asked, as one of the manotaurs walks up and puts his fist into the hole as a demonstration. "Pain hole, schmainhole-WAHHH! AHHH! AHH!" the manotaur screams in agonizing pain while punching himself in the face. He retrieves his hand out of the hole, clutching it and ran off. Leaving the guys very wary at what is in that hole. "Are you sure this is really necessary?" Dipper said skeptically, "Hey, you're the one who started this." Angel said to Dipper before turning towards Chutzpar to say, "And what good does it do when you know that you shouldn't put your and in a hole that cause pain?" "Our feminine fellow is right. It doesn't prove that you are a man, but a moron. Or maybe a clown like Husker." Said Alastor.

The manotuars were mad, how dare this sorcerer talk back to them. And with such manliness too! Chutzpar only responds was, "You guys want to be a man, don't you?" all of the manotaurs scream chanting, "Man! Man! Man! Man!" while one of the manotaurs is punching another manotaur in the face in a headlock. Fed up with how these creatures are not going to take 'No' for an answer, Baxter told them off, "Look. None of us are going to—"

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

The guys turn to see Dipper puling his hand out of the hole and clenching it in pain. His screams were so loud, it cause birds to fly away from the trees. "DIPPER!" they scream as they rush to the hurt boy. 'Oh, he's gonna get a punishment for this.' The guys thought, but not as much as Mabel's punishment is going to be.

Meanwhile back at the Mystery Shack

"So it's agreed then, Mabel is going to clean every single toilet in the hotel AND in the shack?" said Vaggie, as she looks at the new text Angel has sent. It said that Mabel should clean all of the toilets in the hotel and in the shack by herself and that Stan should pay them for their share of their partner agreement pay early. And double it. "And Stan's check for us working with him." Said Charlie, *Ping!* another notification went off, Vaggie sees another message from Angel, two in fact. "It says that Angel has found his older brother here and that they are in the woods with Dipper who... Okay, this is weird. They found creatures called Man-o-taurs, and that Dipper wants to know how to be a man from them and rope the guys into it."

"That is weird." Said Charlie nodding her head in agreement, "Anyway, Angel said that Dipper hasn't showered in like a week. Besides giving the boy a bath and making his hair fluffy as Angel's, oh god, Dipper should also get an extra punishment. By helping Niffty with the bed sheets in both folding, making, and washing." Vaggie says as she reads off the text. "Well from what can tell, it seems that Dipper was trying to help the guys to become strong men then they are now. Dipper is thoughtful, but he should concern for what other's thoughts are on the matter." Said Charlie, "Yeah, I can see where they get the idea to punish Dipper. At least it's not harshly. And who knows, maybe this little 'man training' could help him to be more confident and stand up for himself." Vaggie replied.

Suddenly, they hear Soos screaming at the top of his lungs, "AAAAAAHHHH!" and running out the door leaving it swinging on its hinges. It didn't even take them a minute to know that it had something to do with "Mabel." They said as they headed to the room where Soos ran out of. The girls sees Stan with a forced smile on his face, but it wasn't even a smile. It looked like a frown mixed with a grin and weak tweaks corners of his lips. And his eyes look like they were going to pop right out of their sockets. "No wonder Soos ran away." Vaggie deadpan at the scene before them. Mabel then pulls out a CD labeled "Training Mix" and said, "This is going to take some really great training music." And puts in a CD player. 'Oh my fucking god.' Vaggie and Charlie thought as they see Mabel making a montage of trying to get Stan to look attractive for Lazy Susan. If there was only one word for them to describe this it would be...

"Revolting."

Time Skip

After an intense work out of pulling a wagon of manotaurs, jumping off from a cliff to the other side, and other things that were both gross and insane or just plain dumb. So as of for right now, the sinners, Dipper and the manotaurs were relaxing around in the hot springs. They were thankful to the manotaurs to lend them some towels, even though they're all guys but some of them just want to have some decency for their bodies. "Ah~ man, this is what I need." Angel sighs in relaxing bliss, hanging is arms on the edge of the spring and trying to keep his fluffy chest from getting wet. Arackniss was also relaxing just as much as his brother. "Afta everythin' that 'as happened, both here and at 'work'. This is best stress relief ever." The old brother said as he leans back and let his body float in the water. "Not for me, I feel like I'm being boiled alive!" it's true. Baxter did look like he was being cooked and the smell of fish in the air wasn't a good sign either. So he's just sitting close by and keeping his body out of the water.

"Well I have to say today's been a hefty one." Said Alastor. It was a shock to see Alastor without his clothes, he didn't want to remove them, but the bulls forced him to remove them or they will do it for him. Not wanting to be touched, Alastor reluctantly undressed himself in front of everyone. It wasn't his manhood he wanted everyone to see, it was his scars. Alastor has cut scars covering almost his entire body. Scars from fights, scars from attacks, and scars from his time on earth. Those are the only guesses that ran through everyone's minds when they saw them, but instead of asking how he got them they choose to leave it alone for now, and not make the Radio Demon uncomfortable or get themselves killed by him. And that their respect for him as increased dramatically. But it wasn't just Alastor they forced, they tried the same thing with Angel and his boots. Somehow Angel manage to work around them and got in the springs without anyone getting so much as a glimps at his feet.

"You said it, brother." Said Dipper, turning to the manotaurs and said, "Guys, I just wanna say that these last few hours have been...I-I feel like there's really been some growth." One of the manotaurs show of an actual growth forming on his head, "I have a growth!" he shouted. Showing off his growth to everyone, Dipper laughs while everyone grimace at the sight of it, "Glurk, you are hilarious today!" the manotaur, Glurk, clicks his tongue and mad a hand gun point at him. "It's just you guys took me under your wing and have just been so supportive." Said Dipper, the sinners rolled their eyes at that statement, Chutzpar wave his hand and said, "Oh, stop." Gesture. The demons quickly picked up the flattery in his voice, Chutzpar was either really flattered or... it could mean something else.

Dipper did heard the flattery but to him it sounded more like a joking friendly thing, "No, you know what? You really have been. I think I feel like I'm finally becoming a man here." He said puffing his chest up. Chutzpar waves his hand in a 'whoa, hold up there' and said, "Not yet, Destructor. One final task remains. The deadliest trial of all." "Really? Cause I thought the 'running from bulders down on a mountain' was the deadliest one." Angel said sarcastically, it was a miracle how Dipper survive that. Though they did manage to help him with their powers and ability, but it was Dipper's quick thinking that help saved them. Clenching his fist in determination, Dipper proclaim, "I've survived forty-nine other trials. Whatever it is, bring it on!" the manotaurs shouted, "Yeah!" while Angel, Arackniss, Alastor, and Baxter groan. "Da kid's gotta death wish." Said Arackniss.

As they got of the springs, the adult demons and Dipper went to put on their clothes back on, with Angel being the fastest one to get his sexy underwear and shorts on before putting on his iconic boots. They were almost finished, only to be stop by a manotaur, "No. You all must wear these!" he hands them loincloths, "And nothing else!" Okay, this was ringing a lot of alarm bells in their heads. "No way, asshole! This is where I draw the line!" Angel shouted, "Agree" Arackniss growls in disgust. "No loincloth, no man!" the manotaur said, "Hey! We've gone through those so called challenges without in our normal clothes! Why the sudden change of mind, Dickshit!?" Baxter barked back in demand, "This has been a waste of time." Alastor growls under his breath, turns to leave until he saw Dipper starting to undress himself again, unaware of a few manotaurs looking at him with lust in their eyes.

With a quick snap of his fingers, Alastor shrouded himself, Dipper, and their acquaintances in dark shadow with only the torches as their only light. "Al?" "They were looking at Dipper with disgusting gleam of hungering lust in their eyes." Oh they. Are. Now. PISS OFF! Snapping his head over to Dipper and stop him from undressing himself even farther. "Dipper! Stop!" thankfully Dipper listen to Alastor, "These guys are being perverts!" "What?!" that really caught Dipper off guard. "You didn't realize, or were aware of your surroundings, that some of them were being a bit too flirty or looking at you the wrong way." hearing Angel saying and explaining that made Dipper fell sick to his stomach. "A-are you sure?" Dipper asked in a shacky voice, no one could blame him for feeling so scared, "There's a lot of sick freak shitheads in hell, kid. And folks who love to have a time with young kids is horrid as sin." Despite giving Angel the most harshest coldest shoulder on his time when they were alive or in hell. Arackniss knows fully well what his brother has to put up with at the porn pimp studios.

Seeing the concern and worry in their eyes there was no doubt they were telling the truth. Swallowing a gulp of air, Dipper quickly redress himself back into his regular clothes. "Okay, you guys were right. I'm sorry for dragging all of you with me on this stupid man-up thing." Dipper apologies, and then ask Alastor, "Quick question; are these shadows sound proof?" "They can be if I want them to, and in this case they are." Alastor answers much to everyone's relief. "Hey! What's going on in there?" Chutzpar shouting to them, "Oh, sorry. Just having a private chat is all!" Baxter quickly respond, "Okay, take your time." Chutzpar called back, "Think they might be changing back into their clothes?" "They do know we have rooms, right?" "Well whatever it is they should be ready for the deadliest challenge." It would seem that Alastor's magic made the barrier tilt in their favor, the manotaurs can't hear them anymore, but they can hear them from outside. "There's a rumor about another spider monster has been sited. It that true?"

"Another one?" Angel and Arackniss shared a look of surprise and concern as they listen closely to what the manotuars have to say. "Yeah it's true, its hanging around at our enemy's cave." "Shh! Don't give away our deadly challenge yet! We don't know if they can hear us." This info was starting to make the Ranieri brothers more concern, it got even worse when they said, "Any more information?" "Yeah... it's a female. Looks as tall as Gunslinger, almost looks just like him too." "They should bring her hear as part of the challenge." "Let's show off our manliness to her!" "And have some fun with her too." "Yeah!" "But see if Leaderaur agrees with this." It got quiet after that, the brothers turn to their companions. And in the most scariest moment, their whole expression and their bad bonds as brother completely washes away. As if it never happened. "Alright Niss. We'll make them see hell." "They're gonna wish they hadn't met the Ranieri brothers." "And shoot their balls off." "I like the way you think, little brother."

'These two... really are brothers.' The non-Ranieri people thought rand through their heads. The two brothers turn to them and Angel started talking, "The other spider monster they were talkin' said is tall and looks like me and a female. Which most likely means our sister, Molly, is here too." "No wonder you guys are so pissed off." Said Baxter, "My dear gentlemen, I believe we have some business to take care of. Those bulls for brains will find it suspicious if we suddenly leave." Alastor pointed out, "Why not fake it?" Dipper suggested, all of the demons look at him. "We'll just pretend that we agree to their challenge to find the cave where your sister is at." "A simple go in, get it and get out." Arackniss commented, "And as for the loincloth thing, I have an idea." Said Dipper.

When Alastor's magic disappeared, all of the manotaurs looked furious. "Why are you not in the loincloths!?" Pituitor demanded an explanation, "We thought we should make this final task more challenging. Would it be more interesting that we complete the task without so much as getting a speck of dirt or a tear on our clothes? That's quite manly if you ask me." Said Dipper, the manotaurs murmur out their thoughts in another huddle, "It is manly." "No one's ever done that before." "Not to mention it'll gain attraction from the ladies." Soon all of them answered, "Excepted!" and went to prepare the ceremony, "Jesus fucking Christ. These guys will believe anything with 'man' in it." Arackniss curse under his breath at the sheer stupidity of this guys. They offer tattoos to them both, fake and real ones. But they denied them cause they weren't to their liking, plus some of them have fur and it wasn't a good mixer. Soon, they were standing in the cave of their leader as rows of manotaurs bang on other manotaur's heads like drums.

Chutzpar stands before them and announce, "Behold our leader, Leaderaur!" Two manotaurs standing like guards parted ways to relieve an old hunched manotaur walking towards them, humming, "Rum te tum tum..." this wasn't what they were expecting at all, even after Arackniss got himself stuck in this place he expected their leader to be more stupider or more mob boss like, or something. Dipper voiced his thoughts to Chutzpar, "Is he like the oldest, or wisest, or...?" the old manotaur raises his hand slowly and said, "Greetings, young—"

*CHOMP!*

"—AAAGHHHHHH!" It took only a half a minute to prosses what just happened, the old manotaur was talking, a mouth came down, and the old manotaur got eaten alive. Leaving Dipper, Angel, Arackniss, Baxter and Alastor petrified with shock, fear, and spark with amusement. "Naw, he's just the offering." Chutzpar said brush-off before pointing upward to the beast that ate the elder. "That is Leaderaur." They look up to see a gigantic black, red eyed manotaur. He has huge muscles and biceps, his loincloth are just their loincloths stich together to make one big one. Hell, his teeth are coming out of his mouth. One look, and you'll mistook him for a bull demon. Maybe he is.

Leaderaur swallows the old manotaur in one gulp before stomping his turning towards them and asked, "You - You all wish to be a man?" Their replies were, "Sure, why not." "I'm just here for the action." "Let's just get this over with." "The faster we do this, the faster we become men." "True that." It was mostly lies and truths, but it worked in their favor, all of the manotaurs bought it as they scream, "Yeah!" Leaderaur spoke again, "Then you must heroic act, go to highest mountain." What he did next made everyone question that he might be a demon in disguised, He reaches into his chest and pulls out a spear made out of bones, "And bring back head of...the Multi-Bear!" and then tosses the spear at Dipper's feet. Leaving the manotaurs to gasp in alarm. The sinners knew what this challenge really means, the kid needs to kill, commit murder, even though it's an animal but still. Having a young boy go out killing a big animal predator? That's a bit much.

"The Multi-Bear? Is that some sort of bear..?" Dipper tries to ask, as Leaderaur shouts, "He's our sworn enemy! Conquer him and your mansformation will be complete." "Conquer?" Dipper is having second thoughts on this challenge. "Hey! What the fuck ya' think ya doing!?" Angel's shouting startled Dipper out of his thoughts to see Chutzpar looking through his backpack. Luckily, he didn't look too far as Alastor conger up his magic again to take it away from him. "You really shouldn't go looking into people's personal belongings." He said as he hands the backpack back to Dipper who made sure everything is still in there. "I couldn't quite help to overhear of another spider monster being spotted close by?" said Baxter.

They start explaining where to find the highest mountain and the cave of the Multi-Bear. With that information in mind, they set out to find the Multi-Bear and the other spider monster. The manotaurs cheered as Leaderaur spouts fire from his nose, which the flames nearly got the guys burned by. "I'm okay!" cried Dipper, "Hey! Watch the fluff!" Angel shouted, "Why? You needed it, booby boy." All of the manotaurs present laugh at Angel and his fluffy booby chest fur. Angel snaps a cold hard killing glare at the manotaurs and they completely shut their mouths up, not even daring to breath. And with that, the guys left to find the cave of the Multi-Bear hoping Angel's and Arackniss' sister is there. And a promise that the manotaurs will pay a helluva price for the shit they put them through today.

Meanwhile at the Mystery Shack

The 'Get Stan Pines to be more charming to win a date with Lazy Susan' project had its ups and downs, but mostly its downs. Stan didn't have the manners of a gentlemen, or any concerns for other's feelings, he speaks bluntly and don't get them started on his chest hair regrowing fast after it's been shaved off. How the hell is that possible!? It really baffled Niffty, Charlie, Vaggie, and Husk's minds. Right now, Mabel has Soos, Wendy, and them gathered to see the results of her progress. "Okay, Grunkle Stan. You started like this.." She shows them Stan's before picture she took earlier, "But you became.." but when she lowers picture to see what Stan has become. In short, he was still his old gross self with messy clothes and sweat all over him. With what looks like actual vomit, 'what the hell did Mabel do to Stan to make him throw up?' everyone thought in disgust and pity for the old man.

"Can I scratch myself now?" Stan asked to anyone present in the room, while Mabel blows up shouting and demanding an explanation from her Grunkle, "No! No, no, no! Is that throw up on your shirt?" Stan only replied, "I don't know how to answer that." Before Mabel starts ripping up the before picture of Stan into tiny pieces. Feeling a tad bit sorry for the young sweater wearing girl, Wendy said, "Face it, Mabel. Your uncle's unfixable. Like that spitting pie thing in the diner." Which got Mabel an idea, "Grunkle Stan, come with me! And leave your pants at home!" "With pleasure!" but before they could get out the door, Charlie stops them, "Hold it! Mabel, listen. Me and the others were talking about yours and Stan's behavior back at the dinner. And we all agreed that you need to know that what you did was wrong." Wendy gave them a confuse look and then ask, "What did they do?" "They made mocked Dipper, Angel, Alastor, and Baxter of their masculinity, likes and appearances. They laugh and point at Dipper for trying that strength tester game, not to mention Stan said this after he left, 'How am I related to that?' Which really pisses all of us off!" Vaggie explained, "What!?" Wendy exclaimed. Now that Wendy is on their side, Stan felt the girls will sure kill him and make it look like a bloody accident. Soos steps in and says, "Guys, maybe Mr. Pines might have had a reason behind it." "Well whatever it is, he and Mabel are still going to pay for their actions." Said Charlie.

"What?" she replied and blows a raspberry, "I did not—" "No Mabel." Charlie raised her voice a little cutting her off, "The two of you really step out of line. There for, you guys are going to be punished." She points to Mabel, "For your behavior, you going to clean all of the bathroom toilets both here and in the hotel starting tomorrow." Mabel's jaw drop to the floor, 'Why am I being punished?' "And Stan." Vaggie says sharply, causing the old man to sit up straight. "You've haven't paid us yet as to are agreement of sharing the profit with the hotel and the shack. You only have by the end of the day to pay us or you'll be facing a worst punishment than Mabel's. And trust us, you don't want a punishment that is worst then death." She says coldly at the old conman. 'Somehow this day was going to bite me in the ass. I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.' Stan thought, hoping that he'll get the money on time, or else he might be starting to write out his will very soon.

Meanwhile with Alastor, Angel Dust, Arackniss, Baxter, and Dipper

It wasn't a that much of a long walk, a few jumps from the trees, swinging on vines, and climbing up the mountain would make anyone exhausted. But if you have demon powers it'll make anyone less out of breath in half of what an expert survivor would go through. "Thanks for the teleportation there, Al." said Angel, "Not a problem." Alastor replied, "Although, you could have teleport us closer to the mountain and not just at the base?" Arackniss asked, Alastor gave him a grinning look that says, 'You got a problem with how I use my magic?' before saying, "I would. But something is interfering with my powers. There must be something causing it."

Dipper looks up to the radio demon, "You think there's someone or something that's causing interference with your powers and could somehow be linked to how you guys got here?" he asked, "My, my. You're catching on quickly, Dipper my boy." Alastor replies with a smirk, as he starts hiking up the mountain. "So all we have to do is find that source and either destroy it, or have it be our ticket go back home in hell." Said Baxter as he calculate the scenario of their situation. "Which would've explain why we were back to our human selves when we came here." "Wait, what?" Arackniss looks up to his brother to say, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Everyone stop their walk and turned to the older brother as if he got three heads, "You seriously don't know?" Baxter cried, "When we arrive here, we were back in our bodies have changed into our human selves before we've died." Alastor explains, "I don't remember waking up to my human self, I've always been like this by the time I came to this place." Arackniss explains, which leave the rest of the guys thinking, "Maybe you might have unconsciously switched into your demon for before waking up?" Dipper suggested, "Maybe, but for now. Let's focus on finding Molly and that Multi-Bear." Said Angel as he press on and the group fallows him. With the brothers' unique spider abilities, they were able to climb the mountain with ease.

Once they were at the entrance of the cave, the group prepare themselves with their weapons in case the Multi-Bear wants to fight before entering. "Guys this thought has been driving me crazy since we left. What is a Multi-bear?" Dipper asked, but they didn't respond. Because right Behind Dipper, the creature that the manotaurs told them wakes up. Feeling like there's something towering over him, Dipper turns around and sees the muti-bear roaring at him with seven heads and eight limbs. "Oh, that's a multi-bear." The top head of the Multi-bear spoke, "Bear heads, silence!" but one of his heads was overlapping the talk with it's roar. The main head slaps it to get it to stay silent. "Child, monsters, why have you come here?" Angel and Arackniss stood in front of Dipper, "We heard rumors about another spider monster that looks like me, but a girl. We just want to know if she's here or not?" said Angel, the Multi-bear looks at them in question and ask, "Then why do you have weapons and a spear from the manotaurs?" Dipper answers, "It was only to trick those guys into believing us, we met them first and heard the rumors from them. We have no intension to seek your head. Or, one of them, anyway? There's like-what? Six heads?"

"Look, the point is that we want to know if the person is our sister." Said Arackniss, Multi-bear's eyes lit up in realization, "The two of you are Molly's brothers?" "Yes!" Arackniss and Angel replied. "Well in that case." Multi-bear turns to the back of his cave and calls out, "Hey Molly! You got some friends here." "Be there in a sec. I got to put lunch in the oven." Molly calls back with her New Yorker accent much like her brother's accent with a hint of Italian in the mix. Baxter looks up at the Multi-Bear and ask, "You have a kitchen?" "I do go through the dump every now and then, and I work what I have to make my cave more homey. But still a cave for a bear." He answers, "I see, Mr. Multi-bear." "My name is Bearn Barron, but please call me Bear-Bear." 'Bear-Bear?' the group all thought in confusingly but found the nickname, 'That's weird/cute/funny/adorable.'

Sounds of multiple footsteps echo from deep within the cave, stepping out was the female spider the manotaurs were talking about, and boy she really does look like Angel, only more ladylike, blonde puffy hair with pinchers styles on the side ends, four arms and four legs, freckles by her noes bridge, same eye color as Angel's, bigger breast, and her outfit wildly stunning, business dress suit, two different pairs of gloves on each of her hands and two different pairs of thigh high boots.

"Angie! Arie!" "Molly!" Molly rushes to her brothers and jumps onto her twin and pulls her older brother up into a hug, "I can't believe you're here!" she cried, "Imagen my surprise when I found you two!" said Angel, "Molly. No air." Arackniss gasp out.

As the three spider siblings reunite with one another, Alastor, Baxter, Dipper and Bear-Bear stood by and chatted about their time with those man bulls, "Those manotaurs. They don't know when to quit. They all made fun of me because I know all the words to the song 'Disco Girl'." "There, there Bear-Bear." said Dipper, as his eyes quickly widen in astounding realization, "You listen to Icelandic pop group BABBA? I-I love BABBA." "Again, Abba." Baxter tries to correct Dipper, but neither Dipper nor Bear-Bear were listening to him cause they were currently singing Disco Girl together. "I thought I was the only one." Dipper laughs happily and said, "This is crazy! Finally someone who-who understands how fun Disco Girl is."

"You feel better now, my boy?" Alastor asked the twelve year old boy, Dipper looks up to him and ask, "Huh?" "Dipper, did you forget that you've faced off an army of gnomes, or the robotic lake monster?" Alastor pointed out, while Baxter said, "Don't forget about the curse wax figures." And Angel said, "Or the insane psychopathic bitchy brat." Molly and Arackniss stare at theme in bewilderment, "Whoa, you guys went through all of that during your time here?!" Molly asked, "That's crazy." said Arackniss. Letting go from his sister's hugs, Angel kneels down to Dipper's level and said, "The point is, Dipper. Is that you are stronger then you realize. You choose how you see yourself as a man."

Dipper stares into Angel's is in wonder, his words really struck him to his heart. "Whoa, thanks." "Aw, look at you Angie. You're like a big brother to this little guy." Molly gush over brotherly moment. "My name is Dipper. Dipper Pines." Alastor walks over to her and Arackniss, "Somehow Charlie's hotel came here with us, its standing on Dipper's great uncle's property. Despite that, we've made a deal with him. He can use the hotel as a tourist attraction and have us stay, in exchange we help around at his tourist trap attraction he calls 'The Mystery Shack'." He explains, "It sort of started becoming a safe haven for anyone from hell who are stuck here like us." Said Baxter.

"I hope the Princess won't mind of having us there, would she?" Molly asked, "Wait, 'us'?" Arackniss look at his sister as if she is out of her mind, "Yeah, I mean, do you want to stay inside of a cave and have no running water or no electricity?" Molly listed off things her brother won't have while staying inside a cave. Not finding anything to argue against, Arackniss has to agree to his sister. "Fine." "For the record, I wasn't really planning on having you at the hotel to begin with. But seeing you have nowhere else to go and not wanting to stay with those dick heads, this changes things." Said Angel, "Wow. Don't I feel loved." Arackniss says sarcastically. "Now then, shall we get out of here? We've spend a whole day skipping breakfast and lunch." Said Alastor. "Oh, wait. I have a couple of fishes cooking in the oven." Molly quickly realize that she has food in the oven, "Cod?" Arackniss asked while Angel ask, "With Italian bread crumbs as toppings?" Molly cheerfully answers her brothers' questions, "You bet!"

And so, they stay for lunch with Bear-Bear, who ate most of the cod. When they were leaving Baxter chuckled at the sight and sounds of a mountain exploding far off in the distance, seeing smoke coming from the manotaurs man cave, the guys, minus Dipper, chuckled in satisfaction. For you see they planted some small but big exploding bombs in their caves, a stink and slime bomb, and a small dynamite stick strong enough to cause a cave in just before they left. And with Alastor's help, Dipper throws the spear to the cave's floor and made an announcement to the manotaurs about their manliness task stuff is just malarkey, the Multi-Bear, Bear-Bear, is actually a nice guy and that they are a bunch of jerks for wanting him to cut off his head. Leaderaur looks into the portal and demands, "Kill the multi-bear or never be a man!" Dipper glares up at him and said, "I don't need to learn how to become a man from someone who treats my friends with such disrespect. If anything, they are more manly than you! You bullshitting bastard!"

Everyone gasp in shock, with eyes popping out of their sockets. Leaderaur had vines popping all around his head and he look like he was going to eat him where he stand right there and now. Alastor quickly shuts off the portal before throwing one of his voodoo magic subjects at him to tear him apart. "I'm sure he'll be fine. Consider this as our test for them after what they put us through." Said Alastor, he turns to Dipper and ask, "Did you really mean what you said, Dipper? About us?" feeling all eyes on him, Dipper became flustered and ramble on his defense on his speech. "I was-uh, Trying to... It was the heat of the moment! I don't know what I was thinking!? It went blank on me!" Angel crouch down to Dipper and said, "I think you really meant it." Coming up empty on excuses, Dipper cave in, "Yes. These days were must exciting days I ever had, and you guys are strong, not just physical. And I admire you both for that."

Angel, Alastor, and Baxter were taken back at Dipper's words. He genially looks up to them. "You do know that we were sent to hell for our crimes we've committed, right?" said Alastor trying to understand the boy's reasons to why he looks up to him when he was a serial killer, "Yes, and Grunkle Stan also did many crimes before. But he's not all that bad too, right?" Now THAT took the guys back in surprise. 'Despite not fully knowing our backgrounds, he thinks that we're not completely bad, god awful, people.' They thought. "That is so sweet, sugar!" said Molly as she scoops Dipper into her arms in a squeezing hug, "I got admit, kid. You keep on surprising us." Said Arackniss, "So about that switching to human forms and back?"

It took a few tries, but Arackniss and Molly were able to change into their human forms. And when they saw each other as their real selves the three siblings couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic, it's been a very long time sense they last saw each other as their human selves before they died that they had almost forgotten what they looked like.

It was peaceful.

Time Skip, Meanwhile at Greasy' Dinner

Despite being grounded, as Charlie and Vaggie put it, Mabel was so happy to finally get Stan and Lazy Susan together for a date. All it took was convincing Lazy Susan that Stan is fixable to go out with her. If that makes any sense. In the end, Lazy Susan gave Stan her number and a slice of pie on the house. She squeal with excitement "EEEEEEEEEEEEE! We did it! When are you gonna call? You wanna call now? I don't have a phone. Let's buy a phone! We can put it on a credit card. Let's get a credit card." "Mabel! Let a man enjoy his pie, huh?" Stan shot her enthusiasm down as he continues to eat his pie.

Charlie and Vaggie were with them and saw the whole thing, it was crazy to see Stan getting a date. But they still haven't forgive them for what they did to Dipper and the guys. "I swear, she must have some kind of brain and behavior problem on her." Vaggie whispers to Charlie, "She might have some medications to take." Charlie whispers back. "Better get Stan to call their parents." "About Mabel's behavior?" "That and to let them know we're working with Mr. Pines. I don't think Stan might have contacted them about how things are going here or who are his employees are to them. You know, to build a trust bond." Vaggie put some thought into what Charlie has said, "It does make sense, but we should have Stan talk to them first just to have them prepared when one of us speaks to them." Charlie smiles at her Vaggie, "That's exactly what I'm planning."

Looking out the window, Charlie and Vaggie notice the guys walking by the dinner with two other people with them. And scary enough to look like imperfect clones of Angel Dust, one shorter with black hair and the other a replica of their porn star friend but as a real woman. But they weren't the only ones looking at them from the window though, "DIPPER! ANGEL! ALASTOR! BAXTER! AND TWO PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW! It's me, Mabel! I'm looking at you guys through this glass! Right here! This is my voice! I'm talking to you from inside!" Mabel was screaming at them from their table, but before any of them could scold her, the guys sent looks of disgust or disappointment at her. Angel gave her a thumbs down while making a gaging expression on his face. Alastor narrow his eyes at her with a grin indicating that her worst nightmares will come to life. Baxter glares at her hoping that she'll burn up by his experiments. The two followers just fond her a bit amusing and annoyance all at once. While Dipper just gave her a calm down sign before he and everyone else went inside.

The guys walk to their table, as Mabel jumps up and down from her seat, "Did you see me through the—?" "Yes." Dipper quickly cuts her question off, she crooked her head to the side and ask, "What's wrong?" and everyone minus her, Stan, and partly Dipper, glares at her in utter disbelief. "Are you seriously asking that?! Didn't you even care or know what you and Stan did this morning!?" Angel yelled angerly at the oblivious little girl. While the majority of sinners and demons present in the dinner agree with him. Dipper rest a hand on Angel's arm, "Angel, it's fine. I don't want to talk about it." "Good." Stan's respond earn him a kick to the shin, and a slap to his face. Curtesy by Vaggie, Charlie, and Molly. "Ow! Wha?! What the heck?!" "You could have worded that better, than being a dick of a jerk!" Molly snapped at him.

Dipper then continues his, Angel, Alastor, and Baxter's day "It's just these half man half bull humanoids were hanging out with us..." Stan sighs and mutters, "Here we go." "Shut up." Baxter snapped at Stan, ignoring his great uncle, Dipper continues on where he left off, "But then they wanted me to do this really tough, horrible thing but it just wasn't right. So I said no." "You were your own man and you stood up for yourself."

It took everyone a moment to process what Stan just said before giving him another attack. Baxter, Alastor, Arackniss, Angel, and Dipper who look at Stan in confused, "Huh?" Stan starts explaining, "Well, you did what was right even when no one agreed with ya. Sounds pretty manly to me but, what do I know?" the young men and Dipper were touched and honor to hear Stan's piece of advice. For someone who reminded Angel and his siblings of what they wish for their father to be, he sure isn't like Henroin entirely. 'I guess I've always been a man from the start.' Angel thought, while Arackniss thought, 'I guess I wasn't a man from the start.' While Dipper smiles at his great uncle's words of advice.

Suddenly, Mabel spots something no one else could see with her sharp eyes. "Wait a minute, do my eyes deceive me? You have a chest hair!" it was true, looking down at his chest Dipper saw a small strand of hair growing on his chest. "You're right! I do! Ha ha, this is amazing! I really do! Take that, man tester! Take that, Pituitor!" Stan raised an eyebrow and questioned, "Pituitor?" "Don't ask." Both Angel, his siblings, Alastor, and Baxter replied. Dipper points to himself and announce, "This guy has chest hair!" only to have Mabel pulls it out and puts in in a scrap book journal, "Scrap-book opportunity!" "That is both weird and disgusting." Baxter flatly said, while Dipper felt a little down Stan decided to cheer him up a little, "Don't worry, kid, if you're anything like me, there's more where that came from."

Charlie and Vaggie widen their eyes in a panic, "STAN DON'T!" they screamed, but they were too late as Stan rips open his shirt exposing his big hairy old man chest hair. "OH, GROSS!" "None of us wanted to see that!" "Cover it up! Cover it up!" "Can't this day end now?!" Everyone voices out their reactions and cover their eyes, all the while laughing at the small humor Stan had made. Until Dipper stood up from his seat and said, "Seriously, that's disgusting. You sack of old bag of jackass shit." Stan and Mabel jaws drop to the floor, with Charlie and Vaggie following. Dipper just cursed at them. "Ah-hehe. I've been giving the boy a few pointers on insults." Angel nervously explains to the stun crowd.

Charlie let out a warning tone, "Angel." "Hey, those guys were being annoying dicks to us for most of the day. Also the kid needs to stand up for himself." Angel explained, "Plus we made sure he won't use much swearing in the future." Molly quickly added. Stan got up from his seat, walks over to Angel Dust and his siblings while everyone else got out of his way as he towers over them much like their father when he's angry. "So you taught my grandnephew to swear at others, and to talk back to me, huh?" he asked intimidatingly, fearing for the worst, Molly unknowingly grasp her brother's arm while Arackniss gets defensive and Angel prepares for what's coming. But what they didn't expect was Stan barking out laughing, like he's heard the most hilarious joke of all time, "Ahahaha! I LOVE IT!" and then hug the three siblings in a tight hug, "I always think that kids should learn how to swear. It helps builds them a way to tell people, 'You don't even know me, ya idiots!' That'll bring them to the real world."

Angel, Arackniss and Molly expression were, 'What the hell is going on?!' or 'Why is he hugging us?!' and 'Can he at least put his shirt back on?!' Even Dipper is weirded out at his Grunkle Stan's affection, and it wasn't long until he wound up into Stan's affectionate hug. "Grunkle Stan could you please put on a shirt? Or let go of us?" but Stan just shushed him and said, "Shhh. You had me at 'You sack of old bag of jackass shit'." Not wanting to take this weird moment any longer, Vaggie bluntly proclaim, "You're batshit crazy." Stan just shrugged his shoulders at her and said, "Tell me something I don't know."


And that's that of Chapter 10.
I hope you all enjoyed it. Sorry it took so long to make it, mostly the reason behind it was that this episode was my least favorite on the show. It just has that weird and awkward moments that I just want to skip to the next scene or to the next episode, or just go to another room and wait out the time. Also I did a little research and been given a lot of interesting theories on how the Hazbin universe is styled as. It's run like a circus or ranked by the royal standers of kings and queens. I don't know if these theories are true or not, but I rather find out for it myself and not rely on from someone else. Cause I don't know if that's really true or not.

Also I found some interesting facts about Zodiac Sign Myths & Misconceptions online recently, and one of them talks about Twins Disproves Astrology. It says that twins lives will go on identical, firstly not all twins have matching birth charts because twins are born minutes apart and the chart changes quickly. And also free will. Twins are still capable of making their own decisions throughout their own lives which leads to differences to their own paths. It was pointed out in Dipper and Mabel vs. the Future the writers didn't say anything but the weight of understanding and feels about twins and their choosing their own paths was there, in both Mabel and Dipper's lives and in Stan and Fords. So I'm going to add this fact in my story.

I was thinking of giving Angel a motorcycle, or his own car later on in the future. What do you think? A RSV4 Aprilia?(It's an Italian motorcycle brand. Maybe a car) 4C Spider? Or Giulia?

Now comes to what's Arackness' first name is going to be? I was thinking Alessio witch is an Italian variation of Alexis "defender". Maybe Alessandro? Which is the variation for Alexander? or something that is similar to his demon name.
