(Author's Note: The story continues back in the Underground back in present time.)
Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Rain, and Wendy were just making their way out of the woods in Snowdin, when they saw several figures approaching them up ahead. Not knowing if they were enemies, the group were getting ready to fight, when they saw who it was and they all relaxed. It was Finn, Jake, Phoebe, Locke, Hornet, Stan, Ford, Giffany, Huntress Wizard, Brain Wiz, one of the Eliminators, the six Wizard Cops, Six, Sans, and Papyrus.
"Grunkel Ford! Grunkel Stan!" Cried Dipper and Mabel as they ran to their grand uncles.
"Kids! Oh I'm glad to see you." Said Stan bending down and hugging the two kids.
"We were so worried." Said Ford hugging the kids next.
"I'm glad you're alright." Said Huntress Wizard to Pacifica.
"It's good to be back. So what's the deal with these guys?" Said Wendy indicating Luminous, Mr. Shine, Mr Bright, Stratos, the Legion of Light bug warriors, Endol, Merak, Ruxxtin's Staff, Loke, and Viper.
"Oh we met all these guys in town." Said Jake strumming the Golden Lute before he introduced the others.
"Loke and Viper were going to help us rescue you, when the town was attacked by an army of the undead and one of the Shadow Queen's daughters. We fought them alongside all these other guys and after we won, they wanted to tagalong and help us, so we let them. And here we are." Said Finn.
"Well we had a pretty interesting adventure of our own." Said Dipper opening his bag and showing everyone the Crystal Star they found.
"How'd you get that?" Asked Sans as Dipper handed the Crystal Star to Finn, who placed it in his bag next to the other Crystal Star.
Dipper and his group filled the others in on their adventure in the Subcon Forest. Stan and Ford were both horrified by what happened to Dipper, but they calmed down once they heard he got his soul back.
"It was tough, but with help from Alcor, Dolly, and Vivian we made it through in one piece." Said Dipper.
"That's is quite a story. I'm very surprised that one of Shadow Sirens didn't steal that Crystal Star from you." Said Luminous.
"Vivian was a Shadow Siren?" Asked Mabel in shock.
"She is." Said Sans with a nod.
"Why would a Shadow Siren help us?" Asked Rain.
"Most likely as some kind of twisted plow to earn, your trust and get you to let your guard down. You can't trust anyone who comes from darkness, believe me." Said Luminous.
Phoebe found herself scowling at Luminous. She didn't like what the leader of the Legion of Light had said, since her older sister, Marceline was both a vampire and part demon and she was one of the nicest and kindest people Phoebe knew and she trusted her completely.
"Well for whatever reason Vivian helped us. I trust her and if she wanted to steal the Crystal Star from us, she would have." Said Dipper.
"Anyhow, I couldn't help, but notice some people are missing." Said Wendy.
"You weren't the only ones who got teleported away." Said Ford before he explained what happened to the others.
"So we need to find our friends and the other Crystal Stars." Said Dipper.
"That's about the sum of it." Said Stan.
"May we ask, why you're trying to find the Crystal Stars." Asked Luminous.
"We plan to use them to get to the Shadow Queen, so we can destroy her once and for all. With her out of the way the Underground will be much safer. After that were going to take down the barrier." Said Finn.
"A noble endeavor and one I approve of. You know I know of someone who can help you and their aid will guarantee your success." Said Luminous.
"Who's that?" Asked Finn.
"The Radiance." Said Luminous.
"Here we go." Mumbled Viper.
"The Radiance? Isn't she an evil being that got locked up? Why would we want to free her?" Asked Finn.
"The Radiance, evil. Oh I'm afraid you've been misled. The Radiance is a divine being of pure light. She is on a holly mission to purge the multiverse of evil and darkness. The Radiance was merely trying to rid this place of evil, when Ballos interfered and locked her away. We intend to rectify that wrong and continue the mission." Said Luminous.
"Yeah we don't believe you guys." Said Jake.
"We aren't going to help you free Radiance, so you can just leave." Said Phoebe with a glare.
"Fine. Fine. Have it your way. We wish you the best of luck with your quest." Said Luminous with a shrug as he turned and walked away followed by his forces.
"Should we be concerned about that?" Asked Huntress Wizard.
"Relax. Those guys have been searching for the Hollow Knight and the Radiance for years and haven't succeeded. They're just a bunch of shiny blowhards." Said Sans.
"So what about you two?" Asked Ford looking at Merak and Endol.
"Will stick around with you for awhile longer." Said Endol.
"I don't think anyone else from our group is in Snowdin. I think we should head to Waterfall and see if we can find any of our allies there." Said Brain Wiz.
"Makes sense to me." Said Papyrus.
"Alright will lead the way." Said Loke.
The group headed towards the direction of Waterfall, unaware they were being followed and watched.
Mr. White crouched behind a large rock watching the group move on. He would continue on following them, until they led him to Gata and then he would strike and fulfill his mission.
Mister Dark, Dark Corvo, Doopliss, and Vivian stood on a tree branch above the ground watching the explorers walk away. The four of them had seen that the group had two Crystal Stars in their possession. Mister Dark had decided it would be best to let their prey get closer to Spirit's lair, so it would be easier to transport the Crystal Stars to the base once they stole them. Plus there was a chance the group might find even more Crystal Stars. So for the time being Mister Dark and his companions would follow Finn's group.
In the Gunslinger Lich's lair, the Gunslinger Lich and his forces were setting out to Hotland using some special tunnels that went through the Underground. Laser Wizard and his elite students would be lead and escorted to Hotland by Gnarl and large force of Minions and Stalkers, LeChuck and his crew would be dropped off in Waterfall to explore and look for treasure, and the Gunslinger Lich would lead a force into Snowdin to deal with the Gravity Falls team.
The Gunslinger Lich's team would be accompanied by Beast, Toffee, Rasticore, Y.V. and the two copies of Elise. The two clones looked like Elise in her armored form. One clone was called Dominant Elise due to having an heir of confidence about her and the other clone was called Crazed Elise due to having a mad look in her eye and a feral nature.
With everything setup the forces of the Gunslinger Lich set out through the Underground.
Meanwhile in Waterfall, Samantha, Nyx, Chi, Kai, Elise, Toriel, Jenka, Sly, and Sheo were exploring one the town and asking the locals if they saw Mom or Isaac, but they weren't having much luck. Unbeknownst to any of them Pedro and Lil' Hunter were staying at a nearby inn and Pedro was looking out the window and spotted Samantha and recognized her from the bounty post, Spirit had sent out after Fay Soff's death. Pedro alerted Lil' Hunter and the two of them geared up to claim a big bounty.
Samantha had just finished questioning a few monsters, when her advanced senses warned her of incoming danger and she quickly leaped to the side as several bullets and a few laser blasts pelted the ground where she had been standing a few seconds ago. The cyborg turned to see where the attack had come from and saw Pedro standing a dozen yards away with a machine gun and Lil' Hunter hovering in the air with his jetpack and holding a laser gun.
"Who you creeps supposed to be?" Asked Samantha.
"Pedro!" Said Pedro.
"We're the guys who plan to claim the bounty on your head." Said Lil' Hunter.
"Bounty?" Thought Samantha as the two began to fire at her forcing her to dodge about.
The fighting caused a great commotion that made the nearby monsters to flee from the carnage and caused Samantha's allies to rush to her aid. Samantha rushed at Pedro and tried to punch him out, but he flipped out of the way and fired his gun at Samantha forcing her to block. Lil' Hunter tried to blast her from behind, but Nyx unleashed some magic fireworks that exploded and blinded the flying villain causing him to lose control of his jetpack and smash into a building, before crashing to the ground. Chi came to Samantha's aid by pulling out her own guns and fired them at Pedro, who expertly flipped out of the way and dodged the shots.
"Pedro! Pedro! Pedro!" Laughed Pedro.
"Let's see how you handle this!" Said Nyx as she made some marbles appear at Pedro's feet.
Pedro stepped on the marbles, slipped, and hit the ground. Samantha rushed at Pedro, who was staggering to his feet and delivered a powerful punch that sent him flying and crashing into some barrels. Pedro groaned as he laid in a heap of broken wood. Lil' Hunter recovered and was about to attack again, when the woman known as Rogue arrived on the scene and stood between Lil' Hunter and the others.
"Stop!" Cried Rogue.
"I...know...you. I think?" Said Lil' Hunter as he lowered his weapon and looked at Rogue.
"I finally found you Lil' Hunter. It's me, your friend and partner. Rogue. Do you remember me?" Said Rogue.
"Sorta. I have a picture of us and...your name sounds familiar." Said Lil' Hunter.
"Um excuse me. Who exactly are you?" Asked Samantha.
Rogue pulled out a gold badge with IDPD imprinted on it, before facing Samantha and the others and spoke.
"I'm Officer Rogue of the Inter-Dimensional Police Department and this guy codename Lil' Hunter is my partner, who I have been looking for a few months."
"So why is that guy having a hard time remembering you?" Asked Nyx.
"Longer story short, we were investigating a few high ranked officers in our department we believed to be corrupt. My partner managed to get some evidence on them with a flash drive, but before he could pass it on, he was sent on a incredibly dangerous mission that severely injured him and I lost contact with him. I believed that the mission was a setup and that the corrupt cops were trying to kill him and destroy the evidence. Now I found my partner and now I plan to get him home to get him patched up and takedown the corrupt officers in the department." Said Rogue before turning to Lil' Hunter.
"I'm...starting to remember. There was a explosion and I ended up here. I still have the flash drive." Said Lil' Hunter.
"Good. Now let's head back to base." Said Rogue as she tapped a device on her arm.
Nothing happened. Rogue tapped it again and still nothing happened. The device then flashed red and Rogue let out a gasp of alarm.
"Those creeps hacked my tech, so we can't get back to base and now they're locking on to our location and sending a squad to eliminate us!" Said Rogue.
"Well, I'm not going down easy!" Growled Lil' Hunter as he readied his blaster.
To be continued.
