Transcendence Rebels

Chapter 11

During the week after the rebels had moved base, Gravity Falls had become more violent and gloomy. There seemed to be less colour, and rain constantly drizzled now. Soldiers were everywhere, watching the frightened citizens work. A single group of five marched in time with each other, hunched over, just a group of people trying to get out of the rain.

Then the figure in the lead started to hum a small tune, and the marching beat of their shoes added to the harmony. She pressed a button on her wristwatch, one that started to play loud music, before lifting her head, and beginning to sing.

"All I see is, shattered pieces. I can't keep it, hidden like a secret. I can't look away from all this pain, in the world we've made."

Now another figure behind the leader joined in as they kept walking, adding to the song designed to spark a revolution.

"Every day you need, a bulletproof vest. To save yourself, from what you could never guess. Am I safe today? When I step outside, in the wars we wage."

The person at the end of their moving train began to sing now.

"Our future's here and now. Here comes the countdown"

The five figures threw off their hoods, revealing their faces. The main singer was Lavendyr, Mabel next to her. At the other end was Stan, with Wendy standing beside him. In the middle was Alcor.

"Sound it off, this is our call. Rise in revolution. It's our time to change it all. Rise in revolution."

When they reached the chorus, the army soldiers began to stop them. Alcor threw up his arms, and a forcefield enclosed them, keeping them safe.

"Unite, and Fight. To make a better life. Everybody, one for all. Sound off, this is the call."

Mabel noticed a commander speak into a communicator, saying something about 'back up' and 'destroy barrier.' She looked to her brother nervously, but he ignored her.

"Tonight, We Rise, Rise. Tonight, We Rise, Rise. Tonight, We Rise."

"Dipper?" He didn't react to the name. So she shrugged and continued to sing while walking.

"Like a hand grenade, thrown in a hurricane. Spinning in chaos, trying to escape the flame. Yesterday is gone. Faster than the blast of a car bomb."

Wendy glanced behind them, and saw a small crowd gathering to follow them, despite the efforts of the 'law enforcers'. She grinned.

"And when the scars heal, the pain passes. As hope burns, we rise from the ahses. Darkness fades away. And the light shines on a brave new day."

"Our future's here and now. Here comes the countdown."

Lavendyr threw out her arms wide, and sung louder than all the others.

"Sound it off, this is our call. Rise in revolution. It's our time to change it all. Rise in revolution. Unite, and Fight. To make a better life. Everybody, one for all. Sound off, this is the call."

The group started to throw their fists in the air to the beat as they walked, following them a crowd that slowly grew in size.

"Tonight, we Rise, Rise. Tonight, we Rise, Rise. Tonight, we Rise."

They stopped infront of a particularly large group of soldiers, blocking their way. Lavendyr scowled at them, but continued to sing as the music quietened.

"In a world gone mad (in a voice so sad) Sometimes it's crazy (crazy) To fight for what you believe. But you can't give up (no) If you want to keep what you love (keep what you love) Keep what you love (keep what you love) Keep what you love. Never give up, no!"

They heard a chanting from behind them, and the small band of rebel turned to see the crowd jogging towards them, singing along.

"Rise. Rise in revolution. Rise. Rise in revolution. Everybody one for all. Sound off, this is the call."

They grinned, and Lavendyr noticed a rather large car. She beckoned to the other rebels, and they all climbed up onto it as the crowd swarmed them. Together they joined in with the crowd in song.

"Rise, like we're alive. Tonight, we rise! Rise! Make a better life. Tonight, we rise!"

As the song ended, the crowd kept chanting, fists in the air.

"Rise, rise, rise in revolution. Rise, rise, rise in revolution. Rise."

"We are the rebellion!" Lavendyr cried. At this statement several soldiers attempted to stop them, only to be rebounded by Alcor's barrier. They scowled at them. "We are here to loosen the shackles of oppression!" Cries of agreement rose up. "We are here to help those in need!" More shouts. "We are here to fight for what we believe in! If you wish to join, step through the barrier!"

Several people stepped forward, but stopped when the spy lifted a hand. She seemed so calm, considering that they were practically surrounded by soldiers, and things could go very horribly wrong, very quickly.

"You must remember that once you cross, there will be no coming back. You may never see your families again. If you cross, not to fight, but for sanctuary, or cross because you are working for Gideon, the barrier will not let you through." She surveyed the crowd, seeing a few particularly vulgar gestures from some of the guards, and returned the favor before continuing her scan.

Lavendyr noticed a young blonde boy having an intense conversation with his parents. The mother smiled weakly at him, and stroked his cheek, tears streaming down her face. She whispered something, and the next thing the spy knew, the child had crossed Alcor's barrier.

Two teen women, who looked like complete opposites, also crossed, holding hands. One was black-haired, hazel-eyes, and dark-skinned, the other was fair-haired, blue-eyed, and had a pale complexion. They were best friends, and had similar personalities.

A man who didn't look much older than them also stepped through. He had red hair, tanned skin and emerald eyes. He looked smart, a cunning look in his eyes made him seem younger then he really was.

Four people. Not bad. Lavendyr glanced around, checking if that was everyone. She noticed that the military enforcements had arrived, and were being prepared. A feeling of panic rose up in her throat at this. Her eyes darted around nervously.

"Alcor, now." She muttered. He nodded his understanding, and the shield began to solidify, becoming translucent.

One lone soldier glanced from the enforcements, to the crowd, to the rebels, and to the other soldiers. His eyes widened as he realized that his only chance of escape and freedom was about to leave. He took a deep breath, and crossed the barrier, as they teleported to the edge of town.

Everyone gaped at the newcomer, and he scowled.

"What? Are ex-soldiers not allowed to join. They basically forced me to apply for the military, taking away my freedom in the process." Lavendyr and Mabel shrugged, but Alcor narrowed his demon eyes at the man.

"Why aren't we at your base?" The boy asked nervously, eyes darting from the town to the ex-soldier.

"Because they can track teleporting." Stan replied. "Now run." He added with a shove. They obeyed.
