Genuka: Glad you like my story.

Onix121: I simply found Steven Universe's Jumpchains, The Owl House and Gravity Falls, by typing their names into Google.

Here are the links if it helps you with anything.

gweenace: Thanks, I guess?

RedBurningDragon: You're right Stan's armor at the War Machine is in his secret underground laboratory.

THE EXACT CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE?

Luz is probably imitating Gudrun with the clapping thing, thinking it's an Amestrian Alchemy process and / or a great thing to do.

I like your idea that magical users use their magic to fill alchemical processes.

I think you are right, Alaster and Bill would be great friends, they both have a pretty similar aesthetic style and method of conduct.

But in the end Alastor loves Gudrun in his own way or the fun that surrounds Gudrun 24/7.

Your reasoning about the connection between the Yggdrasil, Gudrun, Alastor and an iteration of himself are very interesting.

Please deepen the subject, it is very interesting.

RedBurningDragon: Another great idea, Alastor acting like Zangetsu to help Gudrun deal with the new "roommates" and dark powers he receives from Lady-Forge.

I'm a Power Rangers fan too, I recently started looking back at Power Rangers Dino Thunder and looking for every Power Rangers Jumpchain available.

Making Draco some kind of reptilian monster with Goldar armor and a Koragg the Knight Wolf attitude, I really like this idea.

I don't know Buso Renkin, but light Jumpchain.

Story arc: Family reunion (II)

Chapter 42: Amity's Dream.

Alternate title: The Pines VS Night Creatures Family.

POV Narrator

In Bonesboroug, one of the largest cities in the Boiling Isles, he's having a quiet day by local standards ... for the moment.

This "peace" has begun to be destroyed by a series of events.

The first, a certain yew-wood door with an eye in the center, appeared in the middle of the Bonesborough square, bringing out Loki and Stan.

The older inhabitants of Bonesborough, along with all those aged 35 and over, began to walk away at the sight of the door.

Some have abandoned all current projects, preferring to turn around and run away.

Most of the inhabitants who know or have heard of the owner of this door simply walked away at a brisk pace.

"Gudrun, he wasn't exaggerating his stories, this place was built on a continental-sized corpse." Loki said, in a surprised tone, managing to see the Titan's immense ribs rising into the sky.

Listening and hearing Gudrun's many stories is one thing, seeing them with your own eyes is a completely different thing for Loki.

"I too after experiencing so many strange things in Gravity Falls, I was impressed with this place, imagine how much money I could make if Gudrun would allow me to bring to the Mystery Shack an exotic animal or a carnivorous plant from this place." He said. Stan, with a nostalgic tone, remembering very well when she wanted to bring a strange kind of hand-faced dragon to the Mystery Shack, but Gudrun stopped her.

"The thing that surprises me most about this place. The whole archipelago of islands is made up of a corpse, the corpse respect is Gogo's maternal grandfather.

How is it possible that something as big as Brittany or Sicily is the grandfather of a 20-year-old who is 2 meters tall? "Stan asked, unable to imagine how it is possible that such a large being is the grandfather of a human-sized being. .

"I almost forgot that Gudrun descended from the Olympic Phanteon, making this Titan corpse his maternal grandfather.

Gudrun once told me that his womb is probably closer to a technological reservoir set up in the core of a sentient alien spacecraft. "Loki replied, exposing one of Gudrun's theories about how he was brought to the world.

"I almost forgot that the Greek Gods were sentient spaceships and interacted with the world through remote controlled mechanical bodies. Could Gogo turn into some kind of Robot-Man or God-Mecha?" Stan asked, having seen enough strange things that he has no trouble imagining that Gudrun can turn into some kind of Deus Ex Machina.

"Maybe it is possible. Gudrun's biology has always been quite complicated to understand and in recent years he kept coming up with new tricks and skills." Loki said, shrugging his shoulders, having rather limited knowledge in medicine he cannot pretend to understand how Gudrun's body works.

"We go straight to Eda or we stand looking around like tourists." Stan said, knowing that for a human being standing still in Bonesborough can be dangerous, especially when some may recognize us as an acquaintance of Eda or Gudrun.

"First of all we have to find, Litchi Faye-Ling, give him the portal and the coded message. My little brother may be weird and impregnable, but he rarely does anything without a reason." Loki said, grabbing the suitcase-shaped portal, preparing to search for Doctor Litchi Faye-Ling's clinic.

"Well, we'll do as Gogo wants, but if we end up chained to a mad doctor's table, it's your fault." Stan said, loading his rifle, preparing to "talk" to one of the typical "doctors" of the Boiling Isles.

Soon after, Stan and Loki stopped in front of a wall with posters of the most wanted people on the Boiling Isles.

Gudrun C. Clawthorne, Winged Snake, reward: 99,000,000,000,000 snail.

Eda Clawthorne, The Owl Lady, reward: 90,000,000,000,000 snail.

Relius Clover, The Mad Puppeteer, reward: 80,000,000,000,000 snail.

Robin Hood, The Green Man, reward: 75,000,000,000,000 snail.

The Gray Vulture, reward: 55,000,000,000,000 snail.

"Should I be proud or disappointed that three of Gogo's alter egos ended up in the top five wanted?" Stan asked, looking at the three of the wanted posters, knowing that Gogo is behind them.

The poster of Gudrun C. Clawthorne, our Gudrun in his divine armor, holding his Luminis staff, having the Magical Portal behind him.

The Robin Hood poster, a person dressed in light green, with a large dark green cloak, armed with a crossbow.

The Gray Vulture poster shows a person in a Vulture-shaped mask, dressed in a gray uniform reminiscent of an Assassin's Creed protagonist, armed with a pair of swords.

"My brother really managed to impersonate Robin Hood and make him a real person. I thought he was joking about that." Loki said, surprised that his brother managed to take a fictional character and make it real.

"That's not the strangest thing Gudrun did." Stan commented, knowing full well that his stepson has done worse.

"I have to agree with this." Loki replied, having the same opinion as Stan about Gudrun.

At the same time, Amity is in her own magic class, which specializes in Abominations.

As always Amity is in the front row, preparing all the school materials to be able to take notes and answer the questions of the teacher.

Even though Amity's hands are flipping through her notes on the previous lesson, her mind is thinking of one thing, precisely it is thinking of someone.

'Luz has officially entered the Academia Ars Magus. So, you two go to the same school now, that doesn't change anything. But it could end up in my class, even school neighbors, and we would have to spend five out of seven days of the week neighbors! Amity thought, with a slight blush on her cheeks, looking at the empty counter to her right, imagining a smiling Luz showing him a drawing with Azura and Hecate holding hands.

'Focus Amity, the class is about to start anytime, you can't afford to be distracted.' Amity thought, substituting Luz's thoughts in favor of knowledge about magic.

The school bell rang and the lesson began, the classroom door opened, letting two people in.

The first is Jubei, the strongest creature in the world and the husband of the Headmaster of the Academia Ars Magus.

Behind the bipedal cat-like creature is a Luz Noceda now wearing the school uniform of the Academia Ars Magus.

The uniform itself consists of a simple white long-sleeved shirt with pink edging on the collar and sides, with purple and pink cuffs; the shirt itself only goes down to the hips and leaves the navel uncovered while keeping the hips covered.

The uniform is also composed of a purple miniskirt with flounces with a pink line that crosses it horizontally; the skirt itself barely reaches the thighs and is held in place by a small golden buckle.

Completing her look, Luz wears a standard purple cloak with pink lining that reaches down to her lower back.

Luz, looking at the class, easily finds Amity and greets her with a sweet smile on her face.

'I have never been so happy that the school uniform is so glamorous.' Amity thought, unable to take her eyes off Luz, especially her legs which for once aren't covered in leggings.

"Class, I have two announcements to make today." Jubei said, attracting the attention of the whole class. Knowing that she is about to say something very important, Jubei rarely interferes in the magic classes and when she does, she often communicates the wishes of the headmaster, Konoe Ayatsuki Mercury aka Nine the Phantom.

"The first announcement, you have a new student, Luz Noceda." Jubei said, pointing to Luz who is already sitting next to Amity.

"Hi, Amity, you don't know how happy I am to be able to be classmates." Luz said, with a big smile, taking out notebooks and pen from the backpack.

"I'm happy to be with you too." Amity said, turning to Jubei who is about to say the second announcement.

"The second announcement, your Abomination teacher is on maternity leave. So my wife pulled some strings to bring in a high-level teacher, an alum of the school, you have surely heard of her." Jubei said, attracting the attention of the students, starting to wonder who the new teacher is.

"Young Witches I present to you, your new teacher, Charlotte Adler, Head of the Cabal Nolava!" Jubei has finished leaving the second ad.

The effect of Jubei's words was instantaneous, the class fell into pure delirium at the news that the famous and mysterious Charlotte Adler will be their teacher.

Of all those present, the most enthusiastic is Amity who seems ready to explode with happiness.

'Luz is my classmate and my biggest idol is about to become my class teacher. This is a dream to have! ' Amity thought, trying to keep herself composed and not style like a crazy fangirl.

"Amity, isn't it amazing, that the famous Charlotte Adler is our teacher!? If we work together and impress her we could join her Cabal!" Luz said, I take Amity's hand and squeeze it gently.

"Your dream is so sweet. Learning from your idol while I'm in your best friend's shoes.

This reminds me of Chapter 7 of Volume 5 of Good Witch Azula, when Azura and Hecate join forces to convince the gold keeper to give the artifacts necessary to complete their mission. "Said a second Luz who appeared behind the teacher's desk.

This Luz is wearing some new clothes that Amity has never seen before, as well as displaying some expensive and powerful looking magical artifacts.

Very cute black boots with purple stripes and a runic symbol you have hips.

A pair of jeans, with a purplish-white metal belt on top, equipped with various compartments and cases to store a deck of tarot cards, various pens, sheets of paper and some mystical coin-like trinkets.

The belt holds a lightning bolt-shaped knife and a tripartite ice nunchaku.

The cat ear sweatshirt has been replaced by a white-purple striped top, with a cool looking purple coat on top, featuring a fake fox tail and fox ear hood.

Luz's forearm is protected by a sort of metallic glove with the appearance of a wolf's head.

On Luz's left hand, precisely on the middle finger, there is a gold ring with a large stone similar to an arrow.

Finally, Luz's gilded earrings were from a single raindrop shaped ruby earring.

"Luz, what are you doing you can't sit in the teacher's seat and not wear a school uniform. You risk getting in big trouble on your first day of school!" Amity screamed, standing up, wondering how Luz did a change of place and dress in a second, maybe the twins are playing one of their tacky jokes again?

Turning her head to the right, noticing that Luz in the school uniform remained seated in her seat, completely paralyzed.

"Amity, calm down, look around, this is a dream." Said Luz dressed in a fancy purple Fox-girl coat.

" This is a dream ?" Amity said, raising an eyebrow, turning around seeing how all of her classmates dissolve into a poof of colored smoke.

"Luz, what are you dressed in and what's going on?" Amity asked, approaching the real Luz, sure her brothers aren't playing a joke, the twins are good with illusions, but not that good.

"In the last four days, I've missed you so much!" Luz exclaimed, taking Amity in a big hug.

'This is definitely the real Luz.' Amity thought, managing to recognize this bear hug out of a thousand, even though it seems to have gotten stronger than usual.

Luz's warm embrace is both beautiful and comfortable, yet it is at the same time akin to grabbing a constricting Boa snake.

"Luz, I can't breathe." Amity said, starting to need some fresh air.

"Sorry Amity, sometimes I forget that my nerdy arms are gone." Luz said, denying hugging Amity and apologizing to her Azula fan friend.

"Are your nerdy arms gone?" Amity said, raising an eyebrow, curious about Luz's statement.

Amity reaches out and begins to feel Luz's right arm, discovering that Luz's lean nerdy arms have begun to gain muscle mass.

Moving her gaze to the rest of Luz's body, Amity begins to notice that Luz appears to be in much better shape.

"Amity, you can stop feeling my biceps, if you want to see the fruits of my short workout with Gudrun, just ask." Luz asked, cheeks flushed with embarrassment, wanting Amity to continue and stop touching her.

"Sorry, Luz." Amity said, red-cheeked, realizing what she's doing.

"You're just curious to see Luz 2.0, I too can't believe you have progress I'm making." Luz said, taking off her purple fox-embellished coat, revealing her much more toned arms.

"Amazing what a hundred sword swings can do, a strict diet of fiber and protein, along with intense magical and physical training. Give me a month and I'll probably have a six pack." Luz said, lifting the hem of the shirt, revealing a very toned and attractive stomach.

Amity at the sight of a sporty Luz showing him her arms and toned stomach, almost begins to rise, realizing that she may have a weakness for strong women.

"How did you do it? The two of us saw each other yesterday and you weren't so fit." Amity said, confident that it is not possible to gain a fit body in 24 hours, at least not without the use of certain illegal and dangerous potions.

"It's only been 24 hours for you, it's been almost five days for me, time and space work differently when you're in an alternate universe." Luz said, not in the least trying to pretend to understand how the space-time continuum works.

"Alternative Universe?" Amity asked, not knowing the word universe in her witch vocabulary.

"Science fiction is not very well known stuff on the Boiling Isles." Luz muttered, knowing that science fiction is barely known on the Boiling Isles, that they have never heard of planets, aliens, galaxies, spaceships etc.

"Amity, sit down I have an amazing story to tell you." Luz said, sitting in a chair, mentally reviewing her final days with Gudrun, the CGO, the Trinity Seven and meeting Stan and Loki, deciding what to say.

Luz later recounted her adventure in the Dungeon and the plan to return to the Boiling Isles, that Stan and Loki travel to Bonesboroug to find Eda and take the Stargate prototype.

Of course, parts of the story about Yui's rescue were embellished and exaggerated in Luz's usual style, making Amity giggle.

"Only you can end up in a different Human Kingdom and get involved in a complicated rescue mission. The Clawthorne family must be cursed." Amity said, having experienced Luz's ability to get in a lot of trouble, but this time she hit the jackpot.

"Out of curiosity if you are stuck in a different Human Kingdom, how can you talk to me?" Amity asked, knowing no magic or artifact that can accomplish such a feat.

"Yui, the Trinity Seven of Greed, is the Master of Dreams, the most powerful witch in the dream world, she can easily connect people's dreams.

Gudrun has a functioning portal that can take you to any corner of the Omni-Verso and a colossal reservoir of magical energy.

By joining forces, Yui and Gudrun allowed me to enter your dreams. "Luz said, explaining that at the moment her physical body is located near the Stargate with Gudrun and Yui maintaining a powerful dream magic that breaks the boundaries. between worlds.

"But why do you want to talk to me, wouldn't it have been better to talk to Eda, she doesn't know this Stan and an idea how these portals work?" Amity asked, appreciating Luz's visit, but if she were in her shoes she would have called Eda or Lilith, a witch with experience and resources to help her.

"We actually planned to talk to Eda, but she's awake and of all my friends only you are asleep." Luz said, telling half the truth.

It is true that of all Luz's friends only Amity can be contacted through Yui's dream magic.

But there is a detail that Luz does not want to reveal, Yui's magic would have sent her into you have dreams of a loved one for Luz. It's for some reason Luz doesn't want to let Amity know that he's a very dear person to her.

"Once I wake up, I'll go see Eda right away and tell him about your latest adventure." Amity promised, ready to grind anything to help Luz get back to the Boiling Isles.

"Before I wake up, I have a very important question, Gudrun C. Clawthorne-Holmes, does he treat you well?" Amity asked, worried that Luz may be mistreated by the most wanted criminal on the Boiling Isles.

"Eda became a wanted woman at 15, ending up holding the position of Most Wanted Witch of the Boiling Isles for 6 years.

But when his son, Gudrun, was left in his care, the boy managed in a few months to become the public enemy number one of the Boiling Isles and hold the position for 21 years. "Amity said, trying to make Luz understand who currently lives under the roof of a very dangerous person.

"You've met Eda and you know it's not what the Emperor's Coven paints her!" Luz said, raising her voice, protecting her Master's reputation.

"If we remove the fact that Eda is not part of a Coven, her main offenses are petty theft, sale of counterfeit potions and damage to public property." Amity said, listing the most common and persistent allegations Eda has earned.

"You're right, Eda is not the model citizen, but at the end of the day she is a good person, practically a second mother to me." Luz said, finally admitting that Eda is more than just a teacher to her.

"Gudrun, the son of the Wild Witch Eda and the half-demon Merlin, has committed more crimes and crimes than his mother. Lilith tells me a lot of not-so-flattering things about the grandson who got his eye out." Amity said, recounting a morbid fact about the unfriendly relationship between Gudrun and Lilith.

"I admit that Gudrun doesn't have the best relationship with the Emperor's Coven, I'm pretty sure there's a loose end with Lilith and Belos. Besides Eda's accomplice status and her feud with Lilith and Belos, Gudrun has never done anything mean to someone else. " Luz said, confident that her adoptive brother won't attack unless provoked or at least it's not for a just cause.

"No, all the stories involve him with Lilith." Amity said, remembering very well how many of her private lessons with Lilith were suspended, because Lilith had to be hospitalized.

"I'm just worried about you, are you sure Gudrun has no ulterior motive?" Amity asked, hoping Luz won't be fooled or take advantage of her kind nature.

"Amity is sweet that you worry about me. But I'm fine, Gudrun treats me like the sister he never had. Even though he's a pretty strict and demanding teacher." Luz said, with a smile, appreciating the lessons and training offered by Gudrun, although sometimes she tends to exaggerate or focus on a more offensive aspect of the lesson.

Amity has because of her upbringing words, stern and demanding, are not very welcome, recalling some not too nice actions of her mother.

"What kind of lessons and training does he give you?" Amity asked, hoping wholeheartedly that Luz isn't going through an experience similar to her upbringing under Odalia.

"Gudrun, he is teaching me more styles of magic, consider that being a versatile and flexible all-rounder is much more useful than mastering just one type of magic.

Speaking of magic, I learned how to draw the basic Glyphs for each traditional element, the Modern Runic Alphabet, how to use Reinforcement safely.

The basic principles of Amestrian Alchemy and Transmutation are quite similar to the use of Glyphs and Runes. Want to see what I've learned? "Luz said, pulling three pieces of paper rectangles with three different glyphs on them from her belt.

Luz taking some clay drew an alchemical circle on the counter, placing the cards around them with the glyphs on them.

"By combining the plant, ice and light glyphs, I get ..." Luz pressed the center of the design, activating the glyphs.

In a few seconds above the counter a large and beautiful flower of pure ice appeared, the petals here gently shine.

"A work of art." Luz said, presenting her little masterpiece to Amity.

"Luz, it's beautiful!" Amity exclaimed, admiring the beautiful bright ice flower.

'Brother, you were right cute girls like unique flowers.' Luz thought, mentally thanking Gudrun for helping her perfect this trick of the combined glyphs to get an amazing flower.

"In addition to Glyphs, Runes and Alchemy. Gudrun taught me some Ninjutsu tricks, which I learned during his time with Hurricangers or Power Ranger Ninja Storm, when he took the role of Orange Shinobi Ranger or Kitsunger.

Much of the lessons focus on the magic of paper and origami. I think he's trying to turn me into some kind of Cardcaptor Sakura or Naruto's Konan. "Luz joked, comparing herself to a famous Magic Girl and one of Naruto's most powerful Kunoichi.

'What are Ninja, Ninjutsu and Power Rangers?' Amity thought, not recognizing much of the terms Luz is using at the moment.

"In addition to magic, he is teaching me how to fight.

Gudrun and Levi are showing me the basics of sword and spear fighting.

In the last few days I have learned the basics of how to use a bow in motion. "Luz said, in a tone full of joy, appreciating having a teacher capable of teaching something more concrete than professional con tricks.

"Why are you learning to fight with a sword and a bow, didn't you want to be a great witch? That's what Ninjutsu is?" Amity asked, considering fighting with traditional weapons a waste of time when you have magic on your side thanks to her mother.

"I'm a girl earning Tropes, Jack-of-All-Stat." Luz said, hoping these simple words can make Amity understand why Gudrun is teaching sword fighting alongside magic.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Amity asked, not understanding anything from Luz's words.

"I have to teach you more human jargon. If for some reason I can't use magic, I have to know how to defend myself in some way.

In short, Handyman, nobody's master. Often better than a teacher than one. "Luz said, using a proverb that surely must exist on the Boiling Isles.

"Plus, the Great Witch, Luzura, Master of Glyphs and Champion of the Sword of Light, sounds great." Luz said, showing Amity one of her newly learned tricks.

Luz's right arm began to glow, being covered in purplish-white Magical Circuits.

Slowly from Luz's belt several paper tags came out, forming a bladeless paper sword.

Luz wanted to show Amity some of her moves learned from Levi and Gudrun.

"Gudrun is teaching me a sword style, born from the Far East created by a Demon Slayer Clan who were inspired by Sun Breathing.

The entire style is based on Total Concentration Breathing, an advanced and esoteric breathing technique in which a user inhales the maximum amount of oxygen within a specific breathing pattern to bring their physical and mental abilities to their maximum limits. "She recounted Luz, wanting to impress Amity, using an understanding speech about the origins of her sword style and a practical demonstration.

Luz spreads her legs, holds the paper sword in both hands, preparing to make the first and only move she has learned to do without harming herself.

When Luz prepares to perform Full Concentration Breath, the entire paper sword has suddenly broken apart, becoming a pile of papers scattered on the floor.

"Gee, I've been able to complete the paper sword spell only once in three times so far." Luz said, in a disappointed tone, thinking she made a fool of us in front of Amity.

"Don't be mad, I have problems with fire magic too, without a magic wand I can't do it." Amity said, trying and managing to raise Luz's morale.

Casting a sweet glance at Amity, Luz without thinking decides to make a nice gesture for her green-haired best friend. Using the magic of paper to transform the sheets on the ground into a beautiful pink origami in the shape of a flower.

"A beautiful flower for my princesa hermosa (beautiful princess)." Luz said, mimicking the attitude and mannerisms of a knight, putting the origami paper in Amity's hair.

'Gudrun, your stories and advice what make me do!' Luz thought, her face all red with embarrassment, blaming Gudrun and his stories about the knights, to explain the gesture just made to Amity.

Amity has remained silent with her face flabbergasted as her brain is trying to process Luz's gesture.

'Can anyone come and help me !?' Luz mentally shouted, wanting to disappear away at the moment and not be seen for a week.

CRAW CRAW!

UKUKU UKUKU!

WAOON WAOON!

KON KON!

The verses of a Raven, an Owl, a Coyote and a Fox break the awkward silence between the two girls.

"Luz, I recognize the birds, but what are those two quadruped creatures !?" Amity asked, having never seen a Coyote and a Fox before.

"They are the Fylgja of Gudrun.

The Crow is Mórrígan, the Owl is Lechuza, the Coyote is Shiriki, the Fox is Hishamaru. "Luz said, pointing to each animal and saying their name.

"Fylgja?" Amity asked, not knowing what this term means.

"Ironic, I'm normally the ignorant one, but when it comes to magic and human oddities, the roles are reversed." Luz said, finding Amity's confused expression amusing and cute as it turns into an adorable pout.

"The Fylgja are a kind of Palisman, but fewer magic sticks and more supernatural spirits accompanying people." Luz explained, delighted to have reviewed the Norse magic section of the Abysus library last night.

"Luz, I'm in a great mood so I let you have fun with your sweetheart.

But as time goes by, Yui cannot keep this Interdimensional dream transmission running forever. Hurry to deliver the package. "Mórrígan / Gudrun said, speaking through the raven, it's a strange enough image to hear a human voice come out of a Raven's beak.

"Amity is not my girlfriend, she is just a great friend, my best friend!" Luz said, not supporting Gudrun's mockery.

"That's why not even a couple of hours go by without our name coming out of your lips." Shiriki / Gudrun said, with a mischievous Coyote grin on his face.

'Does Luz talk a lot about me?' Amity thought, unable to hold back a small smile.

"I'm exaggerating, I'm not just talking about Amity. Yui likes to hear my adventures on the Boiling Isles." Luz said, not wanting to look like a yandere or some kind of stalker.

"I understand, leave the old girl behind and try the new girl. If you want to seduce Yui you have my permission to try." Hishamaru / Gudrun said, with a fox grin, continuing to tease Luz.

"Amity, I've begun to understand why you don't support Emira and Erik, the older brothers and their teasing is terrible." Luz said, empathizing with Amity that she has to support twins who are certainly worse than Gudrun who only jokes occasionally.

" I agree." Amity said, agrees that prankster older brothers are the worst.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?" Lechuza / Gudrun asked, looking closer at Amity, searching through her pristine memories for Amity's face.

"You are a Blight, my future mother-in-law is a Blight!" Mórrígan / Gudrun replied, in a surprised tone, having a problem associating Odalia with the Amity Luz speaks of here.

"Truly Luz, you choose to woo the daughter of the third most detestable person in the Boiling Isles." Shiriki / Gudrun said, with a tone not too happy, before sighing, managing to make his mood understood through the Coyote's muzzle.

"He could have done worse, he could have chosen to have an impossible love with Belos' protégé, Golden Guard." Hishamaru / Gudrun said, turning to Coyote, understanding that the situation could be a thousand times more serious and problematic.

'Is he speaking to himself in a way?' Amity thought, seeing that the voice comes out of each animal to talk to another animal.

"Strangely, this can come in handy. Odalia is a snake, luckily I am a snake too." Shiriki / Gudrun replied, in a mischievous tone that promises trouble to Amity's mother.

"The green snake will listen to the golden hydra." Mórrígan / Gudrun declared, with an arrogant and confident tone, considering himself a worse monster than Odali.

"I'm mature enough to hold my resentments only for Odalia and not target her children as well." Said Lechuza / Gudrun, who appears to be the voice of reason and common sense among the four Fylgja.

"Three minutes, you can have to wait for Stan, Eda and Loki to finish the portal if you want to see her again." Mórrígan / Gudrun declared, in a serious tone, before disappearing along with the rest of Fylgja.

"How does he behave when he's in a good mood?" Amity asked, putting on a false mask of courage and indifference, while on the inside she is "slightly" worried what will happen when she has to meet Gudrun face to face.

"He was in seventh heaven today morning, he said his old Morpher showed a spark of power, he promised to bring everyone to town to celebrate." Luz said, remembering very well how happy and lively Gudrun was in the morning.

"He's just stressed out about the Star-Gate stuff and other major projects he's building.

For this reason we are planning a vacation in Paris, if it were possible I would like you to come with us. "Luz said, starting to play with her fingers, looking like Hinata Hyuga for a moment.

"You taught me a lot about Boiling Isles, I just want to return the favor, and show you the wonders of the human world." Luz said, hoping Amity would accept her proposal.

"I would very much like to see this Paris with you." Amity said, with a faint smile on her face.

"I would like to stay and talk to you, but I stay a couple of minutes and I have to deliver a package." Luz said, with a bittersweet smile, wanting to spend some more time with Amity, but time is not on her side.

"Gudrun made me a medium of magical cards that function like prepared spells, but needing time to recharge until further use." Luz said, taking out a silver card case with a deck of cards similar to Yu Gi Oh or Magic the Gathering inside.

"But for emergency or hopeless situations, he gave me these girls." Luz has taking out four tarot-style cards from a gilded case.

The four cards are tall, about 12 inches long.

The cards share the same image on the back and the frame on the front.

The back consists of a gold frame with 4 stars in the corners and in the center a complicated pentagram of a sun, with a crimson background.

Below the pentagram of the sun are inscriptions in a runic language which could be instructions, a description or a simple poem.

The front is made up of the same gold frame with four stars in the corners with a thin, flowing gold frame around the central image representing the card.

Above, there is a kind of small Primordial Rune, and below, a ribbon with the de facto name of the card, underneath a Roman numeral to mark the card number.

In the center of the card, in front of a purple background, the representative figure of the card

"These are the first four Celestial Cards.

Somehow Gudrun after watching Cardcaptor Sakura season one together, figured out how to make something like Clow Cards using some of his magical power.

He says that only three people in the entire universe can use the Celestial Cards and I am among those three people. "Luz explained in an enthusiastic tone, loving being one of the small number of people who can use the Celestial Cards, it's almost like being. a chosen one.

"The Four Celestial Cards they have are: Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Knowledge." Luz said, showing Amity the S-rank magic cards up close.

The Fire Card shows a female figure similar to a Dragon-Girl, surrounded by flames, vaguely reminiscent of Ryuko Matoi from the Kill la Kill series.

The Ice Card shows a female figure resembling an Ice Wolf-Girl, resembling Satsuki Kiryuin, Ryuko Matoi's rival.

The Lightning Card shows a kind of strange alien angel in the form of a teenage girl. Some might say that it depicts Misaka Mikoto during her level 6 form.

The Knowledge Card, showing a cute girl dressed as some kind of fantasy scribe, looks like Meteora Österreich from Re: Creators.

"What do you want to do with these cards?" Amity asked, sure Luz hasn't decided to waste her last few minutes showing her her new toys.

"My mission was to talk to Eda about my situation, to look for Stan and Loki. But most of all I have to use the Knowledge Card to plant a seed of knowledge about science behind the portal. So no one risks blowing up the planet or creating a black hole." Luz said, in a strained voice, affixing three of the four Celestial Cards, leaving only the Knowledge Card in her hands.

Amity quickly realizes that Luz doesn't want to use the Knowledge Card on her, but she's pretty much obliged to do so if she doesn't want to wait another few weeks to hit on Eda.

"Luz, I give you permission to do this weird card magic on me, I'm sure you won't hurt me." Amity said, in a mawkish tone, putting a hand on Luz's shoulder, reassuring her.

"Health card, show me in front of me and help me!" Luz said, with a big smile on her face, holding up the magic card to the sky.

The card begins to shine strongly, emitting a blinding light, the figure on the card has come out.

The scribe took out an old book the size of a dictionary, opening the tome, a flood of pages came out flying around the room.

Slowly the pages cluster around Amity, forming a perfect circle, the information written on the pages began to shine, exiting the same page and entering Amity's head.

"Thank you for your contribution. Here is a small thank you gift. Dreams or reality, illusions or truth, are nothing to me." Gudrun's disembodied voice was the last thing Amity heard, before the whole world was filled with light.

Amity opened her eyes, finding herself in her hiding place in the library, it looks like she fell asleep while reading a book.

"Was it all a strange dream?" Amity muttered, questioning the whole experience she just had.

Amity's entire head throbs with pain all of a sudden as if something had slipped into her head all of a sudden.

Amity raising her hand to massage her head, found a paper flower in her green hair.

Amity's eyes widened, confirming that her dreams aren't just simple hormonal delusions.

"Luz is stuck in a different human realm and I don't like her older brother! I have to find the Owl Lady and help Luz!" Amity yelled, grabbing her backpack, filling the bare essentials, luckily her hiding place contains a good deal of clean clothes and personal items.

Without wasting another second, Amity ran from her hiding place, running to find Eda.

XXX

Stan and Loki managed to deliver the coded message to Litchi Faye-Ling who was smart enough not to ask questions about who Stan and Loki are.

"It was easier than expected, I expected us to have to fight in our lives or get out of a blast." Stan said, amazed that he hasn't needed to use violence so far.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

A series of loud explosions were felt throughout the district, people in their right mind started running in the opposite direction.

"You had to defy the Norms." Loki commented, confident that Gudrun's misfortune is contagious.

"I could recognize those explosions in a thousand. Anda is over there!" Stan shouted, taking his rifle and running towards the source of the explosions, sure that Eda is responsible in one way or another for these explosions.

"What I don't do for the family." Loki muttered, starting to chase Stan through the back streets of Bonesborough.

XXX

Within minutes Stan, Loki arrived on a road that appears to have been hit by a tornado or a plant monster, as huge yew trees emerge from the ground and walls.

A large number of Conformatorium Guards and members of the Emperor's Coven are found lying on the ground or on roofs, many of them imprisoned by the branches or roots of trees.

Whoever is responsible for this disaster has certainly targeted the police.

"Are we separating and looking for clues?" Stan proposed, sure Eda is somewhere in this mess.

"I don't think it's wise to part when there is someone around capable of doing such damage." Loki said, preferring not to end up like the person being strangled by a tentacle and eaten by a horrible creature.

Before Stan could argue with Loki about which plan to pursue was better, a third person entered the scene.

Amity has come running down the devastated street in search of Eda, quite sure that only the Owl Lady can make such a mess.

"Guys, I don't know what brings you here, but you have to leave, this place is not safe." Stan said, wanting Amity to get out of the area sure the time spent with the twins softened her.

"Humans! It means you're Stan and Loki Luz was talking about here." Amity exclaimed, approaching you have two men slightly confused.

"How do you know our names?" Stan asked, sure he had never met this little girl or had done something important enough to make her name famous in the Boiling Isles.

"The girl is named Amity. She is Luz's future bride, which also makes her Gudrun's future brother-in-law and technically your future daughter-in-law." Loki said, recognizing Amity from the photo Luz showed during their first meeting.

"Great, other relatives!" Stan exclaimed, having a hunch that the Mystery Shack will eventually gain several mouths to feed.

"Why does everyone think I'm engaged !?" Amity muttered, her face all red with embarrassment and / or anger, sure that Luz's new older brother is responsible for this rumor.

"I'm just saying what I heard." Loki replied, not wanting to anger a young witch, women, especially women with magical powers can be unpredictable when they are angry.

Loki sensing something wrong, turns his head to the left, pointing his scepter silently cast a spell to remove all forms of invisibility spell.

On a nearby roof, Eda appeared, armed with a certain magic crossbow with poisonous arrows.

Eda prepares to trigger the crossbow, but stops when she recognizes two of the three people who have discovered their location.

Once Eda got off the roof in one leap, she wasted no time asking questions.

"Amity, Stan and guy I don't know, what are you doing here?" Eda asked, wanting to know why Stan is back on the Boiling Isles right now and what Amity is doing with Stan.

"It's a long complicated story. But what are you doing with Yew Bow, Gogo's magical crossbow?" Stan asked, recognizing the crossbow that Eda holds as one of Gudrun's favorite treasures.

"First of all, I don't have to give you any explanation. Second, Gudrun gave me permission to use his artifacts in cases of extreme necessity." Eda said, loading the crossbow, with another magic arrow that can create yew trees.

"Luz and King, they've been missing for 24 hours, I've been looking for them everywhere, the only people who could have taken them are the Emperor's Coven." Eda said, in a voice full of anger, aiming the crossbow at a certain high-ranking member of the Emperor's Coven.

"Your foster children are not in Belos' hands." Loki said, drawing the attention of Eda and the crossbow being pointed at her head.

"I don't know who you are, but if you lie to me you are a dead man." Eda said, ready to kill someone to see her young again.

"My name is Loki Odinson, Gudrun Odinson's older brother." Loki said, conjuring up a family photograph with Thor, Loki and Gudrun in his hands, before the quarrels between the King of Asgard and his Third Prince.

"If Stan is back on the Boiling Isles and Gogo's brother from here I've only heard of makes an appearance, it means my Crazy Owl has gotten into a bigger problem than the Titan." Eda said, putting down the crossbow, sure that Gudrun is connected to the disappearance of Luz and King.

This both reassures and frightens Eda, elsewhere under Gudrun's care few can hurt Luz and King, the bad side Gudrun has a bad habit of getting into the most scandalous and dangerous misadventures in the world.

"Not necessarily, the process of getting Luz back is pretty straightforward.

We just have to go to the underground complex under the Owl House, take down the main pillars of the Star-Gate prototype.

Go to the Mystery Shack, reassemble the pillars around Stan's lead, without compromising the stability of the personal matrix, recalibrate the energy dosage of the Tesseract and insert a dimensional localization program.

It will take us a minimum of 6 hours, a maximum of 24 hours, it all depends on the state of the equipment and where Stan's portal is. "Amity said, speaking as if she had participated in the construction of the Star-Gate, even pulling out a schematic. on the steps required to complete the tech enterprise.

"How the hell do you know all this, you're a witch, not a mad scientist like Gudrun." Eda asked, surely there are no other people capable of combining science and magic, except Belos, but he would not help his most hated enemy forever.

"Your Gudrun, with the help of a certain Yui, managed to send Luz into my dreams.

In my dreams, Luz explained the whole story of being stuck in a parallel Human Realm and the need to synchronize the two Star-Gate portals to make a safe return journey.

Using some sort of Magai of Knowledge, I implanted the necessary steps in my head to help with the scientific part of the portal, while the two of you take care of the magical part. "Amity explained, touching her forehead to soothe the headache caused by the implanted knowledge.

"Wait, is there an underground base under the Owl House and I never knew about it?" Eda asked, knowing nothing about anything on a secret base under her home.

"What can I say, Gogo is always good at hiding things and making secret passages. When the cops came looking for the counterfeit goods they found nothing." Stan said, recalling that some of his most important works were completed with Gudrun's talents.

"We have to hurry, I'm sure within 48 hours, my headache will disappear and with it any knowledge about the functioning and maintenance of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge." Amity explained, wanting to get to work right away and not risk losing Luz to a damn countdown.

"The bridge of what?" Stan asked, not understanding a horn of Amity's last word.

"Einstein-Rosen bridge or space-time tunnel, also called wormhole is a hypothetical topological feature of spacetime ... Titan, my head hurts." Amity said, moaning in pain, needing a potion to calm down.

"Let's go to the Owl House, you two tell me everything you know, while Amity rests, using her head after getting a ton of nerdy stuff is counterproductive." Eda said, using a sleep spell without warning to make Amity fall asleep, so when she wakes up her head doesn't risk exploding.

Meanwhile, Stan, Loki and Amity explained to Eda what kind of trouble their three children got into as they were carrying the components of the Star-Gate Prototype through Eda's Gate.

The Mystery Shack continued to make the preparations for the party go smoothly.

Soon the party has begun, attracting a large number of people are having a blast, unaware that a Professional Swindler, two Witches of the Boiling Isles and a God of Necessary Evil are working on the combination of Stan's portal and the Prototype of the Star-Gate.

Slowly the party grew in intensity, becoming a full blown party.

Every participant is having a great time, but no one is more enthusiastic and happy than Mabel, who is in her natural element, greeting and making friends with every person on the dance floor.

"Hello, Mr. Williasm!" Mabel said, greeting a restaurant owner as she performs some ridiculous dance moves that should remain in the disco era.

"Gorney! Clean up well!" Mabel said, smiling, as she passes a cheerful-looking boy.

"Move those crazy legs! You ... you weird pool man." Mabel said, trying to give dance advice to the public pool manager, the manager with severe mental disorders.

Remembering this important detail, Mabel decides to walk a little faster and avoid the pool freak.

The spirited twin stopped when Oregon's most incompetent cops, Sheriff Blubbs and Deputy Durland, appeared.

By miracle or a sign of impending disaster, the two idiots with the badges appear to be serious, showing no sign of joy at the sight of the party.

"What's the matter, agents? Did you notice my face making ninety smiles an hour?" Mabel asked, with a smile, having no problems with cops unlike great-uncle Stan.

"We have complaints about the loudest party in town." Deputy Durland said, in a discontented tone.

"Normally we should interrupt the party, which is very sad. But if you let us in we might turn a blind eye." Sheriff Blubbs said, wanting to attend the festivities without having to pay the entrance fee.

Mabel not having the heart to turn down two partygoers and wanting her party to continue, she decided to have the cops join the head.

Mabel handed Blubbs and Durland some party hair and party boos, then quietly said, "Welcome to your dreams!"

XXX

Slightly further away from the party, Dipper is having a hard time.

The young detective, after arguing with Stan, sulked focusing on uncovering new secrets in Diary number 3.

Dipper is about to give up research for today and go see what Mabel or Stan, who has locked himself up in his office talking with important people, is up to.

Suddenly one of the ultraviolet lights of the party lit up the blank pages, showing the secret contents of diary number 3.

"What?" Dipper said, with a confused frown, he picked up one of the ultraviolet lights, holding it over the diary to see the secret contents.

The instant the neon hit the blank pages, it revealed countless notes and bright images that were previously completely invisible to the naked eye.

"There is no way!" Dipper declared, with a tone full of disbelief, realizing what a discovery phenomenon he has just made.

"All this time I thought I knew all the secrets of the diary, but all this time they were hidden in invisible ink!" Dipper commented, starting to browse and read the new contents of the diary, looking for a note on the author.

"Uh ... Corpus levitus! Diablo dominus!" He has read Dipper aloud, trying to understand the meaning of a certain page, not knowing that he is reciting a spell to wake the creatures of the night from their slumber.

Dipper too focused on reading and understanding the page, fails to notice the appearance of an eerie breeze blowing through the trees.

"World vice!" Dipper spoke the last words of the spell, causing Dipper's voice to continue to echo through the forest.

Dipper finally noticing that something strange is going on, took an anxious breath and snapped the diary shut.

The earth began to shake, creating huge cracks that glow a black-red color, releasing strong smells of sulfur and death, along with an intense malevolent sensation.

Dipper watched the crevasse in fear and terror as a mouth-covered tentacle comes out into the open, moving wildly and uncontrollably.

If Dipper were closer to the crevasse, the tentacle would surely eat it or worse.

Slowly the rest of the creature's body came out, revealing a hideous creature that resembles an orc zombie infected with some sort of squid parasite from hell.

'It's just a creature you can find a way to deal with it.' Dipper thought, not knowing how much he outclassed in this situation.

The creature is not alone. The crevasse continued to slowly grow, revealing dozens or even hundreds of hideous creatures, each different and abominable in their own way, but all look like humanoid corpses combined with animal demons.

"Oh man, what have I done ?!" Dipper yelled, finally realizing the full extent of the disaster that had just inadvertently begun.

Dipper's quest to discover the secrets of Gravity Falls and the identity of the author who has not thought in the least about the consequences of his actions.

Now for Dipper it is clear that Mabel and Stan were right, today he should have fun like a normal guy instead of being obsessed who accidentally created a door to hell, giving way to an incredibly dangerous situation, which he had no idea of. how to solve by yourself.

"They have to go and warn Mabel!" Dipper yelled, realizing that the monsters are sure to hit the Mystery Shack and partygoers.

XXX

Despite the hundreds of hideous creatures that have woken up thanks to Dipper and march towards the Mystery Shack.

The party did not stop, on the contrary it grew in intensity, giving a sign that it could last until the sun rises.

The stage is open to anyone who wants to go up and play with the karaoke machine while the rest of the guests dance and / or applaud the musical show.

Right now, Blubbs and Durland are at the height of their impromptu rap duet, one that the excited crowd is sure to enter.

"What's up, you fools, it's Blubbs and Durls." Blubbs said, moving in time with his partner.

"Make all that money and get the girls!" Durland said, ending the song with one last verse.

Before the cops could start a second song, Mabel took the stage, grabbing the microphone, deciding to warm up the spirits of the crowd.

"Is this party legendary or what ?!" When I say 'Mabel', you say 'Pines'! Mabel-! "Mabel said, with a huge smile, wanting to be able to do this trick.

At that precise moment the earthquake and the march of the monsters finally made themselves felt from the shack.

The noise and strange phenomena felt the panic and terror of all the guests of the party.

A random person panicked, starting to scream and shout about the end of the world.

The rest of the crowd reacted in much the same way, the only one not acting like a normal person is Mabel still trying to do her stage trick.

"Mabel-!" Mabel said, not knowing when to give up.

"We will all die!" Shouted a random person, who begins to pray.

"Why does it never work?" Mabel said, complaining of her bad luck, still unaware of the danger.

Fortunately, the shaking ground and the sulfur smell are enough to bring Mabel to reality.

"Whoa, I think it's an earthquake! Hey, people! We have to get out of here!" Wendy shouted, in an alarmed tone, quickly blowing a trumpet to alert the terrified guests of the party.

The turma of sheep (citizens) did not need any other tips to chase a person with a plan and a head in place.

Most of the people have started making a stop for their vehicles, none of them too keen to remain in these dangerous conditions.

"Wait! Don't leave! We haven't done our double family karaoke song yet!" Mabel shouted, having really skewed priorities, even with the imminent danger, her mind is concrete on the progress of the party.

Before Mabel could put in place a contour plan to stop the crowd from fleeing, Dipper returned to the party, running as if his life depended on it, which is very true.

Dipper arrived in front of Mabel, out of breath as he tries to articulate sensible sentences.

"Brother, what's going on ?!" Mabel asked, in a worried tone, beginning to understand that things are serious, especially when her nerdy brother starts looking like a marathon runner.

"I ... woods ... discovered ... secret ... diary ... magic ... demons ... zombies!" Dipper said, managing to pronounce the keywords in short bursts.

"Zombies!" Mabel shouted, in a fearful tone, as the undead infernal army begins to emerge from the woods, wanting to take the twins and the Mystery Shack.

Mabel's fear only lasted for a moment before it was replaced by justified anger and frustration.

"Dipper, what's the one thing I asked you not to do tonight?" Mabel asked, putting her hands on Dipper's shoulders, trying hard not to head butt him.

"Raise the dead ..." Dipper replied with a regretful sigh, wishing he'd listened to Mabel or Stan for once.

"And what have you done?" Mabel asked, with a great deal of surprised anger, if Dipper weren't her twin brother he would surely get a slap or hands around his neck.

"Raised the dead ..." Dipper confessed, lowering his head in shame.

"The two of us will have a little chat later. Ever have an idea what to do?" Mabel said, worried to death as the creatures of the night move towards you have twins.

The Night Creatures began to surround the twins, knocking over the snack table and other party gear.

The twins are essentially surrounding them from all sides.

With their backs pressed against the side of the shack and the Night Creatures have begun to stare at the twins and salivate, giving the impression that they are inspecting their future dinner.

" Below !" Mabel yelled, grabbing Dipper and ducking just in time when a scorpion-like monster swings its tail, injuring several of his fellow soldiers.

This friendly fire accident created a small escape opening for the twins who rushed through the pack of Night Creatures.

Not wanting to risk being devoured they ran with all their might, looking for an escape, the twins unfortunately ended up in a corner with a small pack of werewolf-like creatures in front of them covered with hundreds of bright eyes.

The frightened twins more than ever in their short life hugged each other, seeking solace in the arms of their twin.

"Dipper, I love you!" Mabel yelled, hoping her twin would find an idea at the last moment.

"Me too, I love you, Mabel!" Dipper yelled, finding no plan in his head, hoping for a miracle to happen.

It is thank goodness that the universe decided to preserve the Pines twins.

"Your savior has arrived!" An arrogant voice declared, followed by energetic shots that vaporize some creatures of the night.

Shortly thereafter, Loki dressed in his Asgard clothing, wielding his scepter, ran to the rescue you have twins.

"You're no mere accomplice to one of Stan's shady deals." Dipper said, surprised that one of Stan's business partners is related to the supernatural in some way.

"If you want answers you have to wait another moment!" Loki shouted, using his magic to knock some of the monsters away.

"You two have to get into the hut! I'll keep them busy as long as possible." Loki declared, placing himself in front of the twins and holding his scepter as if it were a spear.

Though the twins have a lot of questions about who Loki really is and how he knows Stan

The twins decided to listen to the God of Necessary Evil and run to the Mystery Shack, letting Loki have his back.

XXX

Once inside the Mystery Shack, the twins began barricading the front door, wanting to prevent the numerous hellish creatures from entering.

"And where is Grunkle Stan?" Mabel asked, worried about Stan's well-being, not seeing her great-uncle in several hours

"How's that supposed to help? He doesn't even believe in the supernatural!" Dipper replied, too scared and worried about Mabel's life to think about his great-uncle.

XXX

Unaware of the twins, Stan is in his underground laboratory with Eda and Amity, all three are working on making changes to Stan's portal, adding the components of the Star-Gate Prototype.

"Where has Loki disappeared? The prince had to return with some food." Eda said, angered by hunger and concern for Luz, King and Gudrun's well-being.

Apparently the scammer couple and model student are so focused on bringing and reuniting with their loved ones that they are completely unaware of the hell that's happening upstairs.

The trio continued to work on the portal, Eda dealing with the magic, Amity with the theoretical science of the Magitek of the portal, and Stan dealing with the more mechanical part.

This admirable commitment and determination of theirs prevents them from noticing the safety sign coming through the dashboard monitor behind them, which showed the twins running through the Mystery Shack being chased by "small" monsters while the big ones are flinging themselves. against Loki.

XXX

The lights of the Mystery Shack go out, with a red light pouring in from outside.

The creatures start climbing out the window as some managed to get past Loki and go through the front door which was recently demolished.

The frightened twins ran towards a door, just as a kind of tentacle breaks through the door, creating a hole that allows the vision of a bright blood red eye.

Dipper winces at what he needed to get a hole in the head, starts backing into the corner of the room with Mabel.

"Dipper, isn't there something in the diary about defeating the zombies ?!" Mabel yelled, hoping that Dipper would find a solution as always in the diary.

"NO! THERE IS NOTHING HERE ON THE WEAK POINTS!" Dipper replied, frantically leafing through the diary in search of an answer, forgetting because of the fear of his discovery about secret messages written in invisible ink.

"It can't happen. I wanted answers so badly that it put everyone in danger. Now we're toasts, it's all my fault, and no one can save us!" Dipper confessed, blaming himself for what's to come, lowering the diary, finally realizing the gravity of the situation.

And indeed, it really seems like there was no hope.

The Creatures of the Night continue to pour into the endless shack, and it is clear that they were overpowering Loki.

As soon as Dipper finished his monologue on his own faults, a tentacle creature broke through the door, grabbing Dipper's arm, lifting it into the air, ready to eat it or tear it apart.

"Dipper!" Mabel shouted, with a look full of horror, starting to cry rivers of tears, not knowing what is worse, being torn alive by monsters or seeing how her real twin brother killed in front of her eyes.

"No!" Dipper yelled, struggling against the Night Creature's grip, knowing there is no longer a way out.

"Ah no! MABEL, I'M SORRY!" Dipper shouted, saying his last words ...

SLASH !

If it weren't for the intervention of an angry old man armed with a Power Armor.

For a moment Mabel and Dipper's brains went blank, trying to figure out what just happened.

For a moment their life seemed on the verge of ending ...

Then suddenly it appeared ... Stan.

The crook stands in a heroic position, with the corpse of the tentacle monster under his feet.

Lady Owl's Mariro stands in the door frame, his fez missing, his hair crooked.

Instead of wearing his usual clothes, he wears a warlike Power Armor that looks like a hybrid between the War Machine and Halo's Spartan Armor.

The adrenaline-fueled con man gasps as he holds in both hands a huge war ax that glows and emits electric sparks.

This image will be immortalized and preserved forever in the hearts of the Pines twins, especially Stan's scary and angry gaze.

"You two! Attic! NOW!" Stan shouted, in the fiercest and most determined tone of his life, raising his battle ax.

"Grunkle ... Grunkle Stan ...?" Asked Dipper with breathless disbelief, not believing you have his eyes.

"By chance Loki is a friend of Ironman or you robbed Tony Stark!" Mabel exclaimed, pulling out the first thing that comes to mind.

"I said NOW!" Stan yelled, pointing to the stairs.

Without saying anything else, the twins ran to the stairs, more afraid of disobeying Stan than being eaten by the monsters from hell.

"The only wrinkly monster who harasses my family is me! Take that! And that!" Stan stated, throwing the battle ax that passes through a dozen lesser creatures before getting stuck in the head of a horrible bull / scorpion.

"Okay, dead jerks. Are you ready to die twice ?!" Stan shouted, pulling out of the Power Armor, a large number of machine guns and large-caliber rifles.

BANG! Ratatata! BANG! BANG! Ratatata! BANG! BANG! Ratatata! BANG! BANG! Ratatata! BANG! BANG! Ratatata! BANG!

A shower of silver bullets come out of the armor, fully investing the numerous monsters that infested the Mystery Shack.

For a single minute comparable to an eternity, Stan continued to carry out a massacre, using every bullet available to kill anything that moves and smells of sulfur.

Stan slowly began to head straight for the stairs, knowing that his inexperience with the Power Armor or running out of ammo could kill him if he overdoes it.

Once at the top of the stairs, Stan punched the nearby pendulum clock down the stairs, throwing some cryogenic grenades, in hopes that the ice could slow down the monsters that seem to never end.

XXX

The twins rushed into the attic, closing the door behind them.

The twins heard several noises of gunfire and a couple of explosions. Then the attic door opened.

Fortunately, the newcomer is not a grotesque creature, but their crook-like great-uncle armed with Power Armor.

"Ugh, oh! Everything hurts." Stan said, before groaning in pain, letting out a cough as he leans wearily against the door for a moment.

"Close the door and get away from it!" Mabel yelled out loud, not wanting her great uncle to be trapped in the back by a tentacle or a claw.

Stan moving away from the door, takes a metal bar and sticks it against the handle, as well as pressing against a large closet to prevent the Night Creatures from entering.

"Grunkle Stan, that was great!" Dipper said, deeply impressed by his great-uncle's heroism, still unable to believe that Stan saved his life.

"Are you OK?" Mabel asked, worried about her uncle who looks very tired, surely even wearing a fantastic Power Armor Stan's elderly body cannot support such fatigue.

"Eh, b-well ... at least you can't deny that magic exists anymore, right?" Dipper said, trying to see the positive side of this whole monstrous situation.

Stan was silent for a second, looking away from his frightened grandchildren, Stan's gaze darkens.

"Boy, I've always known that." Stan confessed, not being able to keep this secret anymore, knowing full well that if they escape this situation alive he will have to spill the beans.

"Wait ... what are you talking about?" Dipper asked, surprised by this revelation.

"I'm not an idiot, Dipper! Of course this town is weird! And the only thing I know about that weirdness is that it's dangerous!

I lied about this to try and keep you away from it. To try and protect you from it! "Stan confessed, running a hand through his hair, not wanting to have this argument.

"Great-Uncle Stan, where did you get this fantastic armor and futuristic weapons from?" Mabel asked, taking a close look at her great-uncle's armor.

"It's a long story. On my first trip to Las Vegas, I married Iron-Star's second mother, this beauty was something of a gift to my last wedding anniversary." Stan said, giving a gentle blow to his armor that allows him to face the Creatures of the Night.

"You are telling me that you are the Stepfather of Doctor Constantin C. Clawthorne, one of my idols and right hand of Mr. Stark, known throughout the world as the Iron-Star!" Dipper exclaimed, not believing that his great-uncle is the father figure of one of the greatest scientists in the world who can easily open the doors of any university.

"It means we have a superhero and lousy rich uncle!" Mabel said, focusing on the flashier things of this second revelation.

"Legally yes. For your information, she also had a witch great-aunt lying in Iron-Star's secret hideout. You also have some sort of cousins in the form of an anthropomorphic dog and a 14-year-old witch." Stan stated, throwing more little revelations about his life and the supernatural part of the Pines-Clawthorne family, as well as telling a little lie to make the entire secret underground lab pass as a Gudrun thing.

Before The Twins could ask a hundred questions, a giant sword-like claw burst through the room door, prompting the entire group to back away quickly.

"What do we do, what do we do?" Mabel asked, losing interest in new relatives, panicking.

"Well, normally the diary would help us, but there's nothing in there to defeat the zombies! It's hopeless!" Dipper said, too depressed and shaken to use ultraviolet light to look for clues about the creatures of the night, even if he did, there probably isn't much information on these kinds of creatures.

"Don't worry, I have faith that one way or another we'll get out of this mess alive." Stan said, solemnly, looking down, knowing that Eda and Amity are working the portal to bring in reinforcements.

"Since when are you so religious?" Dipper asked, never having seen this side of Stan.

"Dipper and Mabel, you need to know one last thing about me.

I pray to only one deity, his name is Gudrun, the God of Armor, Weapons and Armies. This God for more than twenty years has never let me down once. "Stan said, confident that at any moment something crazy, extraordinary and colorful will happen that will turn the situation around.

XXX

At the same moment, Eda is watching with bated breath as two figures emerge from the portal.

"Hmph. Aren't you a little old for this?" A female voice said.

"I may be old, but I can still pull it off." The larger and obviously male figure answered, pulling out a device.

"... POWER UP!" The mysterious figure screamed, creating a flash of color that filled the room.

Gotōge's Style (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) (Free): Whoever drew you is clearly a fan of the exotic and, frankly, did a great job, right? As a result, you have a look that screams "important anime character" - feudal-era Japan-inspired clothing with bright decorations and patterns, eye and hair colors that span the entire visible spectrum (hell, maybe even several at once). ... basically, you are encouraged to take it to eleven o'clock. Sure, what's the point of all this if you were to look cool, but not cool? Along your distinctive appearance, you exude personality, not in the sense "my enemies know I'm a cheeky bastard", but in the sense "woah, it looks intense", and in battle, even your mistakes seem choreographed.

Tunes Demon-Slaying (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) (Free): Every superhero needs their own themed music ... but you are not a superhero. Instead, you are an epic swordsman or mighty demon, and as such, your music reflects this, as does the power of anime music teams. You have a personal soundtrack, which includes your favorite Demon Slayer songs and some custom tracks in the same style, which you can turn on and off at will. Oh, you already have the perks of the soundtrack, you say? Well, no problem - add these songs to your playlist anytime you want!

Painting the Battlefield (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) (100): Let's be honest, the thing that makes Kimetsu no Yaiba such a masterpiece, at least in its anime incarnation, is the fight scenes. More specifically, watching the Demon Slayers at work, with their fantastic visual effects linked to their stylized Breath Techniques. This perk, provided free for the duration of this jump, not only lets you see this amazing stylization, but also lets you differentiate between different fighting styles with a glance! So you know why the pillars of fire and insects are actually called those things and they demonstrate the fundamental truth that you can appear to be wielding a sword the same way as your friend in a different style, and those swings are completely different. Also, if you know an enemy's style, you can be better prepared to counter it, right? For 100 CP, you can keep this advantage for other jumps; It might not be that great when you're battling a group of armed henchmen, but any character who has their own way of fighting will have stunning graphics to go with, and just a few attacks will be enough to paint a picture of their overall style. The effects of this benefit can be alternated.

Total Concentration Breathing (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) (400): Oh, now it gets interesting. After a certain point, training your body in the classic sense doesn't make it easier to fight demons. But! Don't worry, because with this, you are now a practitioner of a breathing style; At the heart of this technique, whatever happens to you, are specialized breathing patterns combined with precise movements of your blade, which evoke something elemental or natural with each technique.

At first, this simply makes you a fair fight for your average demon - not the Twelve, of course, but someone who has eaten a few good meals in their life - thanks to your expanded stamina, heavily oxygenated muscles, and precisely stylized strokes. .

You will never again break a blade (or spear, or club, or whatever else you fight with) from a bad blow, and as your lungs get stronger, so do you.

Obviously, this baseline assumes you are practicing an established style ... but with an additional purchase of this Perk, you develop you will have achieved Pillar-level mastery of something more unique, a distinctive style of sword fighting that it could very well be yours and yours alone, and by purchasing this Perk a third time, you are the progenitor and grand master of a complete fighting style on par with the Breath of the Sun itself - hell, it might not even be sword-based combat style.

This will allow you to teach others your style as well and, like the Breath of the Sun, there will be enough material for other skilled fighters to develop their own variations.

(Full concentration breathing: So, the breakdown is this: a purchase means you fight with a pre-existing breathing fighting style at about the level that Tanjiro displays against the Spider Demon family; you know how to use different techniques and, at the end of the jump , you're pretty sure you've mastered that style and all thirteen of its forms (although we haven't seen all thirteen of them in the anime or manga).

A second purchase means that your Style is still an offshoot of the Breath of the Sun, but it is not a Style for which there is a Pillar, and there is a good chance that you are its only practitioner. You could teach others to fight like you, but you don't have any special skills to do it from the advantage alone.

A third and final purchase means that your style, unlike the other styles offered in this world, doesn't have to revolve around Nichirin blades - it could be a spear style, or a bow style, or even a pistol kata.

Additionally, you will be able to teach others the fundamentals of this style with ease, and your students will be able to more easily adapt it into derivative forms, as the Corps did with Breath of the Sun.)

+ Ninjutsu Student [Orange Shinobi Ranger / Kitsunger] (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (Free): A student of one of the ninja schools, most likely Hayate's Way but perhaps another, you have undergone training to become a ninja and bring honor to your school. You may even have a civilian life separate from your life as a ninja.

Composition Equipment [Pocketed by Bloodedge / the sentient crimson cloak] (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (Free): An infinite supply of all kinds of paper, paint, drawing utensils, and various other art related goods. Easels, cloth, glue, all kinds of goodies.

Ninja Academy Pupil (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (Free): You have an understanding of the basics of ninjutsu. Stealth, disguises, unarmed and armed combat, thievery, deception and so on. Your training currently is only mundane, and mastery is still a long ways off.

A Civilian Life (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (Free): Hiding in plain sight is a ninja tradition, as such you have several years experience at a regular civilian job. You could be a construction worker, a daycare employee, a small time singer, etc. Finding work in this field is easy for you no matter wherever you go.

Ninja Arts (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (200): It seems you've taken to ninja training well, learning several esoteric ninja techniques. Running up walls and across water, disguising yourself as other people, temporarily transforming into animals, limited gliding, and generating vibratory energies to destroy objects you are familiar with. You are still limited in the use of these, only being able to use them in the most basic way and then only for a short while. They can be trained to their full power however.

Ninja Gadgeteer (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (200): Like Oboro Hinata, daughter of Sensei Mugensai and tech expert of the Hurricangers, you are knowledgeable in the development of ninja gadgetry. Technology such as the memory erasing Kuroko bots, the energy shield / invisibility field generator that hid the Hayate's Way school, or the Karakuri Balls and their mini-mecha. Unfortunately the secrets of the Unified Ninja School, and by extension the methods behind the creation of the Hurricangers, Goraigers and Shinkenger, is still beyond you.

Heir to the School (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (300): As a result of your dedication, blood, or even just raw potential you have been named a true heir to your ninja school. You will be recognized as a true ninja, worthy of respect and fear to all who would know such things even in future worlds. You position has granted you another boon, allowing you to become a ninja sentai.

If you are a student of the Hayate's Way you have become a Hurricanger, and have your own Hurricane Gyro. A Hurricane Gyro is an arm brace which can fire infinite shuriken, and transform you into a Hurricanger by summoning your Shinbi Suit. This transformation increases your strength, speed and durability and grants you access to special elemental jutsu, like Hurricane Blue's water blasts or Hurricane Yellow's tunneling and mine laying earth techniques. You also possess a special Hayetamaru weapon, a sword that can be charged up for an energy slash or combined with its sheath to become a rifle. You also possess a personal weapon like the Quake Hammer or Sonic Megaphone.

If a student of Izakuchi's Way you have become a Gouraiger, and have acquired a Gourai Changer. You can use the beetle-like Gourai Changer to summon the armored, insect themed shinobi suit of a Gouraiger. As a Gouraiger you have greater strength and durability than a Hurricanger but less speed, and access to electricity jutsu. You are equipped with the Ikazuchimaru staff, which can be used as a spear or transformed into cross mode to be used as a large shuriken or circle moon mode to be used as an energy shield. You also have a insect themed personal weapon like the Stag Breaker or Horn Breaker.

Of course this universe is home to all manner of other ninja schools, and you are free to design a custom ninja school along the lines of those explained above. Regardless neither the Unified School nor any ninja schools from past or future sentai can be selected with this perk.

Unified Style (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (300): You have devoted yourself to Lady Gozen, the leader of the original Hurricangers and the Unified Ninja School. As such you have forsaken your face and name, becoming akin to Asuka Kagura aka Shurikenger. This means your true form resembles that of a transformed sentai with an armored vest, including the increased strength, speed and durability. You are in possession of a Spin Transform Shuriken Ball, which you can throw at a target to perfectly assume their appearance. While disguised nobody will be suspicious of you not being who you say you are unless they know the target. At any time you can call out "Tenkuu Shinobi Change" to return to your shurikenger form.

You are equipped with a sword that can be combined with its sheath to become a baseball bat. You have a variety of jutsu techniques to charge your sword with a variety of effects including freezing and thawing and plasma. You also have a technique to replicate your Shuriken Ball when struck with your sword in bat mode so as to hit a target with a thousand or more balls. You can also create these replicas to serve as tracking devices.

Lastly you can assume "Fire Mode" casting off your armored vest and your helmet turning around revealing a second visor. In Fire Mode you are much faster and stronger. If you have purchased "Heir to the School" you can freely choose to combine your transformation deice with your Shuriken Ball, combining your Shurikenger form and the form provided by your other device much like an "upgrade" provided to the Hurricangers by a particular " unofficial "I heard.

Mecha - Shinobi Machines [Alternative form of the last, Fylgja: La Volpe Hishamaru] (Heisei Super Sentai 3) (Free): Mecha based off of animals, which are aligned to an element and are capable of performing a special attack based on that element . Only three Shinobi Machines are required to form a full sized mecha. Mecha combinations that use at least one Shinobi Machine may cast off the additional armor that a the Shinobi Machine provides to acquire a major speed boost for sixty seconds. Alternatively you may acquire an insect themed Shinobi Machine that comes equipped with powerful weapons such as three built-in cannons. Only two insect types are required to assemble a full sized mecha. Each Shinobi Machine comes with a ninja medal that can be used to summon them. If you have purchased Heir to the School you receive a Shinobi Machine for free.

Green Man (Fate / Legends - God Save the Queen) (400): See nothing more than a flicker in the leaves before a hail of death rains on your enemies.

The legacy of the Green Man is yours to inherit now, a place under the title of Robin Hood if you wish. Talent for stealth, enough to easily escape an army of knights and mages for months on end before being captured despite constant raids against them, and skill with the bow, to shoot an arrow through the visor of the helmet of a knight of a thousand steps is not even a challenge, they are the daily bread of this role. You are even better at both when you are in a dense forest, trees and shrubs never hold you back and only increase your lethality

Guerrilla warfare is your calling and even alone you are enough to paralyze entire armies or small kingdoms. Traps, sabotage, poisoning and turning the ground against them, you are adept at all kinds of small or large scale attacks in these ways. A long-term effort could see two-thirds of the entire armies as victims or corpses. Your druidic knowledge helps in these endeavors, allowing you to create magical poisons or remarkably powerful weapons from nature, as well as befriending fairies and other creatures of nature. Animals rarely attack you unless they help you of their own free will, and whimsical fairies act on you more like mischievous friends than evil devils.

If the role of Robin Hood isn't to your liking, you can also inspire your own legend with a little effort. Like the Green Man from fairy tales, you can create an unnamed character based on your exploits, who will attract those with similar perspectives and abilities to take on that role when you are unable. They will all share the same title, becoming nameless figures to play the role you created. A mysterious outlaw who fights for ordinary people, a black knight who punishes the dishonorable or a witch whose face is never seen but hunts down evil children who disobey their parents.

Yew Bow (Fate / Legends - God Save the Queen) (200): A crossbow made by the hands of one of the many who took Robin Hood's cloak. Made from the yew tree, each shot of this bow contains a terrible poison, which can weaken and damage a heroic spirit or mighty demon, with normal humans falling from its effects in moments. Arrows appear in the hand of the wielder when needed, allowing for quick loading of the bow which can optionally fire at a fairly high speed.

With a short surge of energy and saying the crossbow's name, a variety of magical effects can be used. The first and most deadly is that anything that touches the next dart fired will see any impurity, disease or poison in their bodies instantly amplified. Even a touch is required, making defense difficult as the darts do not need to pierce the enemy. The effect of this can range from simply intensifying existing effects and duration to creating an explosion like gunpowder inside their body. Alternatively, the same name call can cause the next arrow to create an area around where it lands that automatically transfers a weaker dose of Yewpoison, strengthening as long as they stay inside.

Finally, through the consumption of magical energy, the Yew Bow can create trees under the command of the user that come from Sherwood Forest. These can appear as roots that swarm and bind targets, originating from darts fired from the bow, or as trees that appear and mold to the desire of those who hold them around their body.

No Face May King [Amount: Bloodedge] (Fate / Legends - God Save the Queen) (200): The party clothes of the May King, an English folk spirit associated with different types of fairy. The robes are one with nature and the wearer finds himself merging with the world around them, erasing any sign of their presence. It does not hide the magical energy but the sounds and smells produced by the wearer are completely hidden, as well as their physical presence. The cloth ensures effective invisibility, even when attacking, although special techniques and powerful attacks force the protection of the garments to terminate briefly and allow detection. However, even during intense combat, wearing the cloak prevents others from being able to directly detect your abilities, power level or abilities via magical means.
