Twinstones
Chapter 11
Prepared for the worst, Dipper, Mabel, Gideon and Pacifica sneaked into the Tent of Telepathy, using the back entrance Diana had shown them. Progressing slowly through the dark hallways, they made their way to where Mabel said the reverse Dipper had gone into. They figured that would be his workrom. Luckily for them, it was after-hours at the Tent.
Reaching the room, no-one moved. They were all too frightened to open the door. It was Diper who regained his composure, and carefully eased the door open. Inside, the stone was placed directly in the center of the room, right in the middle of their line of sight. Mabel was nervous.
"Dipper, I think this is a trap." She said worriedly.
"Nonsense, of course it's not. They're just stupid, Mabel." He assured. A voice come out of nowhere.
"You know, you really should listen to your sister." It was female, and deathly cold. Suddenly the door slammed shut. Pacifica tried the door, but it was locked with magic. The Gleeful twins emerged from the shadows. She paled, and tried to throw a water balloon at the them, but they deflected it with a shield that glowed a faint blue. Now everyone but the enemy paled. Dipper fired a nyarf bullet at his opposite, but he simply dodged. Then Dipper G glowed a bright blue and was slowly lifted off his feet. Mabel did the same. Their clothes flapped aroung them as if an invisible wind tugged at them. Then a blinding light erupted from them and they were transported down to the lake.
The quartet looked around franticly, startled by the change of scenery. As soon as she realized what was happening, Pacifica dived into a nearby bush, unnoticed by anyone.
"Send us back!" Yelled Mabel.
"No! You will only get in the way of our search for ultimate power!" Cried the reverse Mabel. Dipper sighed.
"It always has something to do with ultimate power, doesn't it?" He muttered.
"You are pathetic! We will have fun destroying you." Reverse Dipper announced. He hears flapping and looks at the horizon. Seeing Diana, he knew he had help. "We all will." He said as he turned back. Suddenly pain flooded through his face, knocking him out of the air. Diana had punched him. Anger filled him as he and Diana glowed a brilliant blue and rose into the air. He threw the winged person against a nearby tree. She crumpled into a heap, and didn't rise.
"You monster!" Mabel yelled. She started to throw ninja star after ninja star at reverse Mabel. Gideon threw the banjo at reverse Dipper to draw his attention to him instead of the Mabels. Mabel Gleeful just blocks the attacks with a faint blue shield, cackling wickedly. Then unexpectedly she fired the grappling hook at her. The sudden change of attack surprised the doppelganger as the hook landed in her stomach with a thud. She quickly regained her composure and a sapphire light surrounds Mabel. She is lifted up and held there.
Gideon deflects electric balls comming from reverse Dipper with the shovel, essentially distracting him from Dipper. He takes out the journal and starts flicking through the pages, trying to find something he could use to stop him. Dipper Gleeful, noticing this, pulls the book out of his hands with magic. He then lifts Gideon and Dipper and keeps them there.
Pacifica, hiding in the bushes, watches the whole thing go down. She needed to do something. They were her friends, but she didn't know what to do. She looked down, and saw her bombs. Pacifica grinned. She jumped out of the bushes and threw a glitter bomb each at Dipper and Mabel Gleeful. Suprised by the sudden attack, they released the other three. She ran to them.
"Told you so!" She cried, hugging them.
"Uh, Pacifica. Look." Gideon said. She turned to see the Gleeful twins holding hands and glowing a bright, brilliant sapphire as they rose once more into the air. Their eyes roll back in their heads and a huge circle formed above them. Dipper, correctly guessing that this is some kind of lazer to destroy them, fired a nyarf bullet at each of the twinstones. The speed of the bullet combined with the magnitude of the spell, caused the stones to shatter. The force of the now relseased spells magic sent the quartret flying.
They recovered quickly, only to find the Gleeful twins gone.
"Do you think they escaped?" Asked Pacifica. A voice came from behind them.
"Highly unlikely. Judging by the force of the spell, they would have been destroyed in the explosion." They turned to look at the voice, and saw Diana walking towards them.
"Wha-how...when-" Mabel stuttered.
"Healing magic, remember? Now, do you want a ride back to the Mystery Shack?" She asked.
"Yes, please." Answered Pacifica.
"Such polite manners. I can carry all of you at the same time. Also, Dipper, Mabel, I believe this is yours." She held something out in her hand. It was the Twinstone. Mabel grabbed it as Diana picked the others up. Once they were all in her hold she took off. As awkward as it was, it was the fastest way back.
