"Come on Arie," Pio urged. "Finish him." Dipper stood in the midst of the party crowd, confused at the stranger. He felt an ominous aura being emitted from this dude, as if evil came from every pore.

"What are you talking about?" Dipper questioned the stranger. Pio laughed raucously, his voice loud and deep. "Do it, Arie. You are a vicious predator, I can see the bloodlust in your eyes. Although, you're human form is…smaller, than the last."

The entire room stared at him. No one could make any sense of what Pio was saying. His eyes bored into Dipper, urging him to do something awful. But what?

"Perhaps," Pio began, "you have been asleep for too long. This wouldn't be the first time you have forgotten how to feast. Let me show you." He waltzed over to the boy, sitting on the floor, nursing his broken hand. He blinked past his tears and looked up at Pio. Pio smirked at him and grabbed the teen by his hair and lifted him off the ground. Everyone in the party backed away as Pio wrapped his fingers around the boy's face, squeezing until his mouth was open. Pio reached into the boy's mouth and pulled out a tooth. With a cry of pain, fresh blood ran from the gaping hole in the boy's mouth. Pio gingerly placed his middle finger on the wound, letting the blood cover his finger.

The blood dripping down his finger swirled in patterns and shapes, being absorbed into his skin. Pio breathed out a shaky breath of pleasure, licking his lips. The teen's body was drained of its blood in seconds.

The party erupted with absolute horror. One person screamed, and suddenly, everyone went into a mad rush for any exit. Dipper stood there in absolute horror, mouth agape. He turned to Pacifica, whose face paled, and said "Run."

Pio smiled at Dipper, but it slowly faded away, replaced with a face of realization, then one of horror. "You aren't Aries."

"Of course he isn't," called a deep voice from the doorway. "Keep a level head Pio. Aries never wakes before us, why would he be here?" Sagi stood amongst the horde of bodies rushing out the door. Pio stepped back, in shock of Dipper's very existence. "But he has the ability. He was stealing that boy's essence. He has to be one of us. He has to!" Pio was shouting, the building now clear of everyone but Dipper and the two monsters before him.

Where's Mabel? Dipper thought to himself. I hope she got herself far away from these two. They…weren't normal. But then again, what was in Gravity Falls? Why was he being so calm about this? Why hadn't he run?

"Where is Arie? What did you do with him? Is that you, Capricorn? Where have you been? Tell us!" Pio advanced towards Dipper, grabbing him by the shoulders, digging his nails into Dipper's jacket. Dipper tried to push him back, but Pio's grip was too tight. Sagi walked up to the two, and pulled out an arrow from his pack hanging across his back. He used the tip to lift Dipper's shirt above his head. He quickly inspected his torso and let the shirt drop.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Dipper tried again to shake them off, but to no avail. Sagi lifted his sleeves and checked his arms. He looked at Dipper's head. He checked his neck, and pushed back his bangs. Sagi's eyes widened. His face turned into one of utter horror, and the arrow dropped to the floor.

Dipper finally wrenched himself free of Pio's grip. "What's the matter with you?" he questioned them.

"We have to wait for the others," Sagi told Pio. "We must leave now. We came out to early." Pio stared daggers at Sagi. "I am your superior, don't you dare tell me what we will and won't do!" But Sagi was already leaving, hurrying through the door. Pio stared back at Dipper, and hissed "This isn't over. You better pray I don't turn around and hunt you down tonight." And with that, Pio left. The drunk kid playing the air guitar poked his head up from under the table and said, "What did I miss?"

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't rip open your throat right now," Pio said to Sagi as they ran through the woods. The distant sound of police sirens ringing through the night could be heard. Two squads were breaking up, one going towards the party, and the rest to the murder sight of Toby Determined. Sagi stopped and sat on a rock, shaped strangely like a face. He looked down, feeling defeated and confused.

Pio was on him as fast as lightning, his nails elongated into talons, pointed directly at Sagi's chest. Sagi didn't even flinch. He was in too much shock. "He bore the mark."

Pio stopped mid-strike. His curiosity got the better of him. "The mark of Capricorn? Was it really him?"

Sagi shook his head. He could barely speak. He broke out into a cold sweat and nervously tapped his foot and began to shake. "He bore the mark of Ursa." Pio's heart skipped a beat. His nails retracted and he backed away. "He what?"

"You heard me," snapped Sagi. "But it wasn't fully formed. He isn't developed." Pio stood up, outraged. "Then we could have taken him out!" Sagi once again shook his head. "No. He isn't fully formed, but he is developing. He is unstable. His powers are just beginning to form. They could be nothing to worry about, or they could be more powerful than ours. We don't want to rush into a battle without all the facts. The most logical thing to do is to step back and observe until all of our forces are available."

As much as Pio hated to admit it, he nodded in agreement. He looked up into the sky, mapping out constellations with his finger. "Scorpio," he said out loud. "Sagittarius. Capricorn. Aquarius. Pisces. Aries still has not arisen."

Sagi nodded. "We cannot make a move until after Gemini has passed. We must be sure all threats are eradicated. He may gain his powers before then. He may find another Gemini. We cannot let that happen."

Pio nodded, fangs elongating in his mouth. "Summon our brothers and sisters. We must prepare for war immediately."
