- "Our mating season is pretty close master. What should we do?" -a very strong voice said in a large, deep and dark cave.
An even stronger, darker and deeper voice answered. - "What we always do! But bring her to me! I want her! She will bear my offspring! Rather she likes it or not! BRING ME LADYBUG!" -
- "Yes master!" -The other voice replied and left the cave. (A/N: They don't know the girl's age).

Mystery Shack's gift shop.
- "I'd like my Christmas shopping done early. Do you have anything that's in the spirit of the season?" -A costumer asked Stan.
- "Uh? How about these crystals?" -Stan offered him a bunch of broken glass.
- "Haha! That looks like broken glass." -The costumer pointed out.
- "What are you? A cop?" -
- "Oh! what is that new thing?" -The costumer said and went to look at that new item.
Then Dipper and Mabel got in the shop.
- "Grunkle Stan." -Dipper called him.
- "Can we go to the diner? We're hungry." -Mabel asked him grabbing her belly.
- "Hungry!" -Dipper copied Mabel movements and then they smashed their bellies between them a few times.
- "Yeah sure! As soon as this Joe make up his mind." -Stan said pointing at the costumer.
- "Do you have this in another animal?" -The costumer asked about a fish souvenir.
- "I'm fine locking him inside if you are." -He turned to the kids and they agreed.
They blocked the door and left while the costumer was trying to decide what to buy.
- "Ladybug's shirt… Black Cat's Shirt… Ladybug's shirt… Black Cat's shirt… Ladybug's shiiirt… Black Cat's shirt." -

At the Greasy's diner people was enjoying their breakfasts when the Pines arrived. They took a seat on a table and then, the waitres Lazy Susan arrived to pick their orders.
- "Lazy Susan! There's my little ray of sunshine! Where were you yesterday?" -Stan asked her flirting a little.
- "I got hit by a bus." -She answered him and he laughed hard.
- "Hilarious!" -He said and Lazy Susan started to laugh uncontrollably. - "You do split plates, right?" -
- "Maybe… wink." -She answered him 'winking' with her bad eye.
- "Great! Wall splitter 1/4 for the number 7, plus a free salad dressing for the lady and a small plate ok ketchup for the boy." -Stan ordered for everyone.
- "But gruncle Stan, I want pancakes." -Mabel said pouting.
- "With the fancy flour they use these days?! Oh! What am I made of money?" -He told her and a buck slipped from his sleeve. - "Tap, tap." -He pushed the buck under his sleeve again.
- "Agh" -Mabel pouted in deception.
Then Dipper saw something at the end of the aisle, It was an old game machine to measure strength, it had a promo that would allow the winner to earn free pancakes. Dipper smirked at that.
- "Don't worry guys! Pancakes are on me! I'm going to earn some by beating that manliness tester". -
- "Manliness tester?" -Stan asked him.
- "Beating?" -Mabel asked too.
Then both of them started to laugh hard. - "He… HAHA… He says… HAHA!" -Stan tried to say something but his laughter didn't let him. A third and mocking laughter could be heard under Dipper's hat and a fourth one on Mabel´s scruff.
- "What's so funny?" -Dipper asked them a little angry.
- "Oh! No offense Dipper but you're not exactly manly Mannington HAHAHA!" -Mabel explained him.
- "Hey! I am too manly… many… or whatever you said." -
- "Look! Face the music kid! You got no muscles; you smell like baby wipes and let's not last Tuesday's… incident". -
*Flashback*
Dipper was in the bathroom, after taking a bath, he was wrapped in a towel and using his brush as a mic, singing along with a song playing in his recorder.
"Disco girl… coming through"
"that girl is you"
Then Stan got in the bathroom And Dipper yelled nonsense, he was scared.
*End of Flashback*
- "You were listening to girly Icelandic pop sensation Babba?" -Mabel asked him.
- "No, I wasn't! That's not important. Look, come on guys I'm pretty masculine. You see this chest hair!" -Dipper removed his shirt to show his… shiny, smooth and hairless chest. Both, Stan and Mabel covered their eyes from Dipper's bright chest yelling things like 'PUT IT AWAY! PUT IT AWAY!' And 'MY EYES! MY EYES!'
- "Oh man!" -Dipper covered himself while Stan, Mabel, and those other two voices kept laughing. Then he spoke with confidence. - "Fine! Family of little faith, get ready to eat your words, and a plate of delicious pancakes." -He went straight to the machine, making everyone there looking at him, including Wendy and her dad. - "All right Dipper, time to manhandle this man handle." -
- "Are you crazy? Even I was laughing back there!" -Dipper heard that mocking voice under his hat.
- "Shut up Plagg!" -
- "You're going to make a fool of yourself." -
- "I said shut up!" -Dipper took the handle and started to press it with all his strength, the machine bulbs started to glow and go up from wimp, to middle age woman, to barely passable, to man, he saw it and smiled, but then, the bulbs went down to 'wimp' and stayed there. Dipper got his prize, a card that said 'You're a cutie patootie'. - "Oh WHAT?! This seems to be broken. It's totally broken guys! It's like… a million years old, probably ran out of… steam power or…" -Dipper was incredibly embarrassed, but manly Dan, Wendy's father shoved him away and cracked his fingers. - "It's rickety man! Ah! You shouldn't even…" -Dipper tried to stop him, but manly Dan just pushed the handle with his pinkie finger and the machine just… exploded! And some pancakes fell on some plates in front of some people.
- "PANCAKES FOR EVERYONE!" -Manly Dan shouted and everyone cheered, but Dipper was extremely embarrassed, and a pancake fell on him, he turned to look at Mabel and Stan, who were still laughing at him.
- "I need to get some chest hair and fast!" -Dipper said to himself and ran out of the dinner, tripping a little while trying to ignore the other laughter on his head. - "Ah! I'm fine! Hehe! Everything is fine!" -Dipper said after getting up and leaving.
Stan watched him leaving. - "Yeesh! How am I related to that?!" -He wondered.
- "Come on grunkle Stan! I'm sure deep down you have a soft side too." -Mabel said.
- "Ha! Nothing in here but a cold, dark, empty soul!" -Stan replied and Lazy Susan came back with their plates.
- "Food!" -She put the food tray on the table.
- "Thanks sugar pot! I… I mean… Honey wasp… Skin baby… Ah! Baby cow." -Stan stuttered.
- "Ha! Silly!" -Lazy Susan said before leaving. - "Silly man." -She muttered.
- "What was all that about?" -Mabel asked him.
- "Nothing! I… I don't want to talk about it! Talk about what?! Why is this table wet?!" -Stan stuttered.
- "Wait just a second. I think I have an idea happening here. You…" -
- "No!" -
- "…And her!" -
- "Stop it!" -
- "Aaahhh!" -
- "Oh boy!" -
- "You have a thing for lazy Susan! You have a soft side!" -Mabel yelled and Stan shut her up putting a finger on her mouth.
- "Ok! Keep it down, will you?! All right I admit it, ok? It would be nice if she liked me but I've been out of the game for so long I wouldn't know where to start! I mean, look at her. She's so classy!" -Both of them looked at Lazy Susan while she tried to fix the pies fridge to make them spin by, punching at it.
- "Crunkle Stan. You are a cranky, gross, weird old man, but we will get Lazy Susan to like you, because nothing is stronger than the power of…" -She said while holding Stan's face in front of her, and Stan interrupted her.
- "Love?" -
- "Mabel." -She said looking at him with sparkly eyes. - "To victory!" -She made a toast with a little glass of water.
Then… Someone burst through the door. The poor man was panting, his shirt had blood on it and he had many fresh bruises. - "They're coming… huff! The… The… man… manotaurs are… coming." -The man said before collapsing on the floor.
Almost immediately everyone started to panic and run out of control, manly Dan took Wendy in his arms and carried her out of there as fast as he could, ignoring all the girl's protests and punches she gave him. Lee and Nate just grabbed Tambry´s arms and pulled her out of there. Grunkle Stan didn't know what to do.
- "WHAT ARE YOU DOING STANDING THERE?! TAKE YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER OUT OF HERE!" -Preston yelled at him while pushing Priscila and Pacifica out of there, said woman was carrying her daughter on her arms, like if she was a toddler.
- "B… But what's going on?!" -Stan asked him dumbfounded.
- "ARGH! You better come with us!" -Preston said carrying Mabel on his arms, like Priscila was doing with Pacifica. Stan just ran behind them, still confused and dumbfounded. They got in Preston's limousine and Jack started the engine. - "TO THE MANSION! NOW!" -Preston ordered him and he drove as fast as he could, they could see police cars coming and going, and heard their sirens all over the road.
- "What's going on?!" -Mabel asked while looking all the mayhem around the town.
- "I'd like to know too." -Pacifica asked, she was sitting on her mom's lap and she was holding her tightly. - "And I'd like to you let me go mom, I'm not a baby." -She pushed her mom's arms off of her. She blushed a little as Mabel was looking at them.
- "Yeah! What's happening?" -Stan asked them.
- "Sigh… I guess you don't know as you haven't had women living with you before." -Preston said looking at Stan and then to his wife and the girls. - "The manotaurs are coming." -Preston said in a very serious tone while his limousine approached his mansion's entrance. Stan and the girls just looked at him, dumbfounded, while Priscila grabbed both girls in her arms.

Dipper was on the streets, just walking with nowhere to go. - "Not manly enough! Stupid card! Stupid lumberjack, then, he got totally wet by a broken fire hydrant, he then noticed all the fuzz around town. He saw officers Blub and Durland passing by him hurriedly.
- "What's going on?!" -He asked them.
- "The manotaurs are on their way here. Better get cover kid. You're not old enough to face this." -Officer Durland told him
- "Manotaurs? What's that?" -He asked them, he heard a gasp under his hat.
- "The manotaurs are massive giant monsters, pure muscles and little brain! They come out from their hideout during summer and attack the town and the people, they destroy everything on their way looking for just one thing." -Officer Blub answered him.
- "What? What are they looking for?" -He asked them.
- "AAAHHHH! HELP ME!" -They heard a scream and saw something running to the forest. Dipper went after it while the police officers just stayed there, paralyzed by fear.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- "What do you mean they're looking for women?" -Stan asked Preston while they got into a safety room deep down the mansion.
- "Exactly that. The manotaurs just come to town looking for women during summer, every 4 or 5 years." -Preston said while closing the safe's room door behind him. Once he did it, the lights turned on and they could see the safe room clearly.
- "WOW!"-Both Stan and Mabel couldn't believe it, that wasn't a safe room, it was a safe house, and they were in the living room.
- "There's plenty of food and water for all of us here, at least for a week, and there are four rooms and two bathrooms. Me and my wife will use one room, the girls can share another, Jack will sleep in the one closest to the door and you will sleep in the last one." -Preston said calmly, but he was so strict with Stan that he gulped.
- "Well, now that I think about it, every now and then I've seen damages around the town, but I guessed it was for a storm or something like that." -Stan said taking a seat and making himself comfortable.
- "You don't go to town very often. Do you?" -Preston asked him.
- "Not that much, just when it's absolutely necessary. By the way, why do we have to hide? If those guys are looking for women, the only one that needs to hide here is your wife, the rest of us are kinda safe, right?" -
- "What about the girls?" -Priscila asked him hugging both girls.
- "What about them? They're still kids." -Stan said without a care
- "The manotaurs don't mind that much about that. They'd take them anyway." -Preston said and sighed in frustration. - "The only ones that stopped them for a few years were Ladybug and the Black Cat, but after they were gone, people started to disappear during summer, mostly women." -Preston had a gloom expression on his face and he approached his wife and daughter. - "If something bad happened to any of you two, I'd go crazy with anger and sadness." -He hugged them both at the same time, Priscila giggles and smiled at him, while Pacifica blushed in embarrassment, but still, she felt happy and safe at the same time.
- "But Ladybug and the Black Cat are back, pretty sure they can handle this on their own and keep us safe, right?" -Mabel asked.
- "Well yes." -Preston answered her, ruffling her hair a little. - "But as I said Pacifica once, I won't take any risk when it's about my family's safety, and that's out of the question. No matter if Ladybug and the Black Cat are out there fighting a manotaurs horde. No one is leaving this place for the next week. Is that clear enough to you?" -He was tender but firm and the others nodded at him.
- "But what about Dipper? He's out there!" -Mabel asked with some fear in her voice.
- "Dipper? You mean your brother?" -Priscila asked her and Mabel nodded, she turned to her husband and they looked at each other in the eyes.
- "Mmhmm… No one is leaving this house for the whole week. That's final." -Preston said with a very serious tone.
- "But…" -Mabel tried to say something but Preston interrupted her.
- "NO ONE IS LEAVING THIS PLACE FOR THE NEXT WEEK!" -He yelled at them. Mabel gulped and backed off, Priscila hugged her and Pacifica took her hand.
- "I'm not leaving my brother out there." -She muttered, but Pacifica heard her and pulled her to the room they'd share for the week.
- "Hey Preston! What were you doing at the diner? It doesn't seem the kind of place you'd go to eat. Or even enter." -Stan mocked him.
- "Well, you're right about something. My family and I don't eat there, but I support local business to keep the city's economy in a good level." -Preston explained while sitting in front of Stan.
- "Really? That's great! But you've never gone to the Mystery Shack to support my business." -Stan said and noticed the very elegant chessboard in the little table between them.
- "Do you want to know why?" -Preston asked him and Stan nodded.
- "Your business is about lies and fake things, that's one of the reasons, but the main reason is that I. DON'T. TRUST. YOU." -Preston said slowly and clear, looking straight at Stan's eyes. Stan just sighed and nodded at him, looking at the chessboard. - "Do you play chess?" -Preston asked him.
- "I used to… with someone I trusted and cared about. Hehe! I never won a single game, but I still enjoyed playing with him." -Stan said with a thin smile, then he sniffed.
- "Do you want to play a little?" -Preston asked him again and Stan nodded. Preston had the white pieces in front of him and moved a pawn to start a game.
- "I'm going to check on the news to see if they say something about the manotaurs, I'll be in our bedroom, is that ok honey?" -Priscila said approaching to her husband and he took a moment to look at her and kiss her on the cheek, nodding at her and she went to another room.
Jack sat close to Preston and Stan and watched them playing.

Meanwhile Dipper was still trying to follow the monster that ran away to the forest but he lost track of it. He stopped running and huffed a few times, trying to recover his breath.
- "We should go back home Dipper. It's not safe to be out here for now?" -Plagg said going out of his hideout under Dipper's hat.
- "Huff… What… huff… is… huff… going on… huff… Plagg?" -Dipper asked him.
- "I… I don't know." -Plagg answered him, he was nervous.
- "Bullshit! You know what's going on! Huff… You know the manotaurs! And you're going to tell me… Huff… NOW!" -Dipper was still out of breath.
- "Ok, ok! Yes, you're right. I know what's going on… Sigh… The manotaurs are extremely big and dangerous creatures. They are incredibly strong and as the officers said before, with little brains." -Plagg explained while Dipper recovered his breath.
- "W… Why… huff… why are they kidnapping women?" -Dipper asked him.
- "Sigh… you won't like this…Hmm…" -Plagg took a moment to answer. - "It… It's their… their mating season." -He finally said, blushing really hard.
- "THEIR WHAT?!" -Dipper was astonished.
- "Their mating season… you know… when they look for females to procreate." -Plagg explained again.
- "I know what a mating season is but… why do they kidnap human females? Wouldn't be better…" -Plagg interrupted him.
- "There aren't females in their species. That's the thing about the manotaurs, they're all males." -Plagg explained. - "They, as humans, are mammals too and need females to procreate, so, they… uhm… they…" -Plagg blushed.
- "What?... They what?" -Dipper asked him.
- "AGH! You're still too young for this! Go ask your dad!" -Plagg yelled at him and turned around.
Dipper sighed and took out a bag of jerk to eat some, he opened the bag and offered some to Plagg.
- "I'd rather have cheese." -Plagg said while taking the snack and Dipper rolled his eyes, then, the floor trembled, many animals nearby started to run away, and they heard a roar. Plagg dropped his snack and hid below Dipper's hat. Dipper saw manly Dan, running away like a little kid. - "For the love of all that's holy! RUN!" -He said to Dipper and ran away like crazy.
Dipper tried to run away, but a tree fell and he had to avoid it, stopping his escape, he could just take a peek to the woods to look at what was what scared manly Dan to that point. It was huge, bigger that¿n the Shack itself, strong, and ugly as hell. Dipper yelled when he saw it.
- "Aaaaahhh!" -Dipper yelled in a high register. - "Wait, sorry… Aaaahhh!" -He yelled again in a lower register.
The monster just stood there, looking around, he seemed to have just awakened because he yawned, took a deer from a bush and scratched his back with its horns, then, threw the poor animal away, then he turned to Dipper and walked to him.
Dipper backed off. - "Please don't eat me! I haven't showered, in like a week! And ahm… I'm all elbows! Elbows and gristle!" -He begged.
- "YOU!" -The monster said pointing at Dipper and he yelled in fear. - "Gonna finish that?" -he asked Dipper about his jerky.
- "No." -Dipper answered him and handed him the bag, which the minotaur proceeded to eat in a haste. - "I can't believe it. Part animal, part human. Are you some kind of minotaur?" -
- "I'M A MANOTAUR! HALF MAN! HALF… uuuhh… HALF TAUR!" -The monster answered him
- "So, this is a manotaur, interesting." -Dipper muttered.
- "It's not interesting, it's dangerous! We better get out of here now, or this guy will turn us into very ugly stamps on the floor." -Plagg said under Dipper's hat but the boy ignored him.
- "So… did I… summoned you or…?" -Dipper asked the monster.
- "The smell of the jerky summoned me. JERKY!" -The monster yelled and showed his brute force destroying a rock. Then, he sniffed something, and approached to Dipper, sniffing. - "I smell… something familiar and… sniff… Emotional issues." -The monster said, Plagg gasped when he said 'something familiar'.
The minotaur invited Dipper to tell him his problems and the boy accepted. - "I have problems manotaur, man related problems. Well… My own uncle called me a wimp… and I kind of flunked this manliness videogame thing…" -Dipper explained while the minotaur just nodded at him. - "Hey! You seem pretty manly, maybe you could give me some pointers?" -he asked the creature.
- "Hmm…Very well! Climb atop my back here, child." -The manotaur ordered him and Dipper agreed.
The next thing Dipper knew was that he was going at full speed across the forest on this monster's back.
- "What are you doing?! This is a bad idea!" -Plagg yelled at Dipper from below his hat.
- "I just wanted some advice but he seems to be taking us to his hideout. That way we can know what are they doing to the women they take." -Dipper told him, then… - "DUDE! WATCH OUT!" -Dipper yelled when they approached a cliff.
The manotaur just jumped up, making Dipper scream from the bottom of his lungs and cover his eyes. He opened them to find that they went through the stone wall of the mountain and got in a 'very manly hideout'. There was a large sofa, dart games, a soccer table, a variety of weights to exercise. And there were many other manotaurs.
- "Wow! This place is amazing!" -Dipper was marveled.
- "The gnomes live in the trees, the merpeople live in the water, 'cause they're losers, but we manotaurs crash, IN THE MAN CAVE!" -The manotaur said and smashed a Wong to call everyone's attention. - "BEASTS! I HAVE BROUGHT YOU! A HAIRLESS CHILD!" -He introduced Dipper to the others.
- "S'up?" -Dipper greeted them
- "This is a… Pubetor, Testosteraur, Pituitaur, and I am Chutzpar. AND YOU ARE?" -The manotaur asked him.
- "My name's Dipper." -He introduced himself to them and they booed at him. - "The… ah… Destructor." -He said and they agreed to it.
Chutzpar smashed the Wong again. - "Dipper the destructor wants us to teach him the secrets to our manliness." -
- "I need your help. Look at this, guys. Look at this!" -Dipper showed them his hairless chest.
- "I must confer with the high council." -One of them said and they talked between them. - "So, share our man secrets or what?" -
- "He's a human. I don't like him." -
- "And I DON'T LIKE YOUR FACE!" -They started to fight.
- "I like these guys." -Dipper said with a broad smile.

Meanwhile, at the Northwest bunker, Preston and Stan finished their chess game with Preston's victory. Mabel and Pacifica spend the whole time in "their" bedroom, talking and playing.
- "Wow Pacifica! Even if this is a bunker under your house, this place is incredible." -Mabel said while playing videogames with her.
- "You think? It's quite lonely most of the time. Even in the mansion" -Pacifica said with a sad expression and sighing in the end.
- "Why do you say so?" -Mabel asked her.
- "Until now, I've been a pretty lonely girl Mabel, You and Dipper are my very first friends, ever." -Pacifica said in a sad tone.
- "Why's that?" -Mabel asked her.
- "Well… My parents forbade me to go out without them and many armored men, I couldn't talk to anyone at all. I've been in the mansion almost my whole life." -
- "What about school?" -
- "Homeschooled. All these years." -Pacifica said plainly.
- "Wow! I mean… Wow! That's… That's…" -Mabel didn't want to say it.
- "The word you're avoiding is… sad." -
- "Well… yes… but… Why did your parents do that?" -
- "Well…" -Pacifica blushed a little and smiled. - "I recently discovered that my parents just wanted to protect me from all the monsters lurking in the town and forest. Just when Ladybug and the Black Cat returned, my parents finally left me be by myself a little more, but still… many weird things go around town very often, that's why Jack is by my side as a bodyguard." -
- "That's so cool! I guess we can't understand how much of an effect Ladybug and the Black Cat have had on town, right?" -
- "Yeah! I guess you're right." -
- "Girls. Lunch's ready." -Pacifica's mom got in the room.
- "Thanks mom. / Thank you, Mrs. Northwest." -Both girls said at the same time and Pacifica finished the game and they went to the living room, where Stan, Jack and Preston were sitting already.
- I have to do something, just follow me, please." -Mabel said to Pacifica and she nodded, she was a little confused
Mabel approached Stan. - "Ok grunkle Stan, welcome to the first day of whatever is left of your life. First, a before picture." -Mabel took a photo of him with a camera that no one knew where did she got. - "I never miss a scrapbook opportunity." -Mabel took her scrapbook and pasted the photo in it. - "Let's start with some roleplay, Mrs. Northwest will play Lazy Susan. Grunkle Stan, show me how you approach a woman. Remember this is a safe non-judgement environment. I'll just be right off the side judging you on a scale from one to ten." -
Stan approached Pacifica's mom nervously, said woman just stood there, a little confused, while her husband and daughter looked at them, Preston was confused too, but Pacifica seemed to have some fun with all that. Stan stood in front of Priscila and… spat to the floor and said. - "Can I borrow some money?" -
Mabel whistled. - "This is gonna be harder than I thought" -Preston and Pacifica started to laugh while Priscila facepalmed, holding her laughter.
- "Well, you can continue whatever you're doing, after lunch." -Preston said and moved a chair for his wife to sit, she pecked his cheek and sat, then, he moved the chair closer to the table and did the same for Pacifica and Mabel, who was about to start to eat, but Pacifica stopped her.
- "No one can start to eat until everyone is seated." -Pacifica told her and Mabel blinked at her, but then, she realized that Pacifica was serious and left her fork back on its place. Then, after everyone was seated, Preston told them politely that they could start to eat and they had lunch together.

Back at the manotaurs cave, the manotaurs had decided what to do with Dipper.
- "After a lot of punching, we have decided to deny your request to learn our manly secrets." -
- "Denied?" -Dipper was disappointed and heard a 'YES!' from below his hat. Then, he had an idea. - "Okay! Fine. That's ok with me. Obviously, you guys think it would be too hard to train me. MAYBE, you're not man enough to try." -He challenged them 'What are you doing?' he heard a panicking voice in his hat.
- "NOT MAN ENOUGH?!" -One of them got angry in a blink.
- "Destructor" -Chutzpar warned Dipper.
- "NOT MAN ENOUGH!" -
- "He didn't mean it." -
- "I HAVE THREE Y CHROMOSONES! SIX ADDAM'S APPLES! PACKS ON MY ABS! AND FISTS FOR NIPPLES!" -
- "Seems to me, you're scared to teach me how to be a man. Hey! Do you guys hear that? It sounds like, oh… puk, puk… That's weird… puk ugh… it sounds like… puk, COOK! Yeah! Like a bunch of chikens!" -Dipper defied them again. They made a circle again.
- "I feel weird." -
- "He's using some sort of brain magic." -Another said and they again turned to Dipper.
- "After a second round of deliberation we have decided to help you become a man." -
- "MAN! MAN! MAN!" -They all cheered.
- "Great! Thanks guys, whatever it is, I will not let you down." -Dipper assured them.
- "Being a man is about conquering your fears." -
- "For your first man task, you must plunge your fist into the pain hole." -They pointed at a hole on the floor.
- "The wha…" -Dipper didn't understand.
One of them approached the tiny hole on the floor and put his fist inside it- "Pain hole means… AAAHHH! AAAGGGHHH!" -He started to yell in pain, and after a few seconds he ran away.
Dipper approached the hole. - "Are you sure this is really necessary?" -He asked them.
- "Wanna be a man, don't you?" -Chutzpar asked him.
- "MAN! MAN! MAN! MAN!" -The other manotaurs cheered.
Dipper hesitated a little more, but he put his fist into the hole. - "AAAAAHHHHH!" -He yelled in pain.
Along the day, Dipper faced a lot of tasks to prove his manliness, while Mabel and Pacifica 'played' with Stan, to make him more women liking.
After all that exercise, the sunset was coming and Dipper was enjoying himself in a hot spring. - "Guys I just want to say that these last few hours have been; I feel like there's really been some growth." -
- "I have a growth." -A manotaur said pointing at the growth on his face.
- "Clark! You are hilarious today! Ah. It's just you guys took me under your wing and have just been so supportive." -
- "Oh Stop!" -
- "No! You know what, you really have been. I feel like I have finally becoming a man here." -
- "Not yet destructor. One final task remains. The deadliest trial of all." -
- "I've survived 49 other trials, whatever it is, bring it on!" -Dipper was full of confidence.
The manotaurs prepared a ritual for the night, meanwhile Dipper was free to go around the caves. He was enjoying his stay, fooling around, but something caught his attention, it was a long aisle with very little light in it, he walked through it, then he could hear something, it was a plead, as he walked through, he could hear the plead more clearly.
- "Please! Pretty please! Let me go! I don't want to have your kids." -Dipper heard many voices say those things.
He got to the jails, the dim light barely left him see anything, he approached one of the cells, and a young woman hit the bone bars, scaring him. She had a very angry expression on her face. She was like Wendy's age. - "Let me get out of here! You idiot! I don't want to get pregnant with those monsters' babies." -
- "Wha… What?! WAIT! WHAT?!" -Dipper asked astonished. He looked around the other cells and found there were all women, imprisoned there, from different ages.
- "What you heard! LET ME OUT! LET US OUT! We have no interest in having their kids." -
- "That's what the manotaurs do?" -Dipper asked to no one. - "They kidnap women and make them have their babies?" -Dipper felt really angry at that.
- "Just let us go. We'll find our way back to town." -A young woman said and Dipper started to think.
- "I can't let you go out now, the cave is full of manotaurs. They'll capture you again, right away." -Dipper said seriously.
- "What's the plan then?" – Another girl about HIS AGE! said.
- "What the hell?! You're about my age!" -Dipper almost yelled.
- "The manotaurs don't mind that much about that, they'll just wait for her to be able to get pregnant, and… well… get her pregnant." -A woman said.
Dipper has his fists tightened with such force, he was extremely angry, he took a deep breath.
- "Listen, I'm going to open the locks, the manotaurs are preparing a ritual in the main chamber. All of them will be reunited there. Once you hear the drums, sneak out of here as silently as you can, ok?" -He told them and all the women nodded.
Dipper backed off to where the women couldn't see him and asked Plagg for help.
- "ARE YOU NUTS?!" -The kwami asked him.
- "We have to save them. Isn't that what heroes do?" -Dipper asked him back.
- "Sigh… When the manotaurs find out about this. They're going to crush you into a bloody pulp, and then turn your pelt into a rug." -Plagg warned him.
- "Just help me to open the locks, I'll handle the manotaurs later." -Dipper told him and faked to open the locks while Plagg was the one opening them. After they unlocked the last lock, Dipper told all the girls.
- "Just wait to hear the drums, ok? All the manotaurs will be there. You will be able to sneak out of here then." -They all nodded to him. He left and went to the ritual.

Dipper was half naked, surrounded by the manotaurs, he went to a circle in the center. The manotaurs started to play the "drums" (other manotaurs heads), and the echo could be heard in the whole cave, Dipper looked back at the hall that led to the exit and sighed.
- "What's wrong destructor? Backing off already? Like a sissy?" -Chutzpar asked him.
- "Pfffttt! You wish! LET'S DO THIS!" -Dipper yelled full of confidence, imitating the manotaurs behavior, but he was really worried, not for himself, but he was worried.
- "Behold our leader. LEADERAUR!" -Chutzpar introduced the manotaurs leader. In front of them, appeared a very old manotaur, he seemed fragile.
- "Is he the oldest? Or wisest?" -Dipper asked.
- "Greetings young… AAAAHHH!" -The elder manotaur was eaten by the biggest manotaur Dipper has seen so far.
- "Na… He's just the offering. THAT! Is leaderaur." -Chutzpar explained and pointed at Leaderaur.
- "You! You wish to be a man?" -Leaderaur asked Dipper who yelled and slapped his own chest. - "Then you must go to highest mountain and bring back head of multi-bear." -Leaderaur ordered him while pulling off a spear from his body and throwing it to Dipper.
- "The multi-bear? Is that some sort of bear?" -Dipper asked him.
- "He's our sworn enemy. Conquer him, and your man's formation will be complete." -Leaderaur explained.
- "Conquer? Ah… I don't know man." -Dipper hesitated.
- "Destructor! Is this yours?" -Chutzpar asked him while holding Dipper's BABBA CD.
- "NO!" -Dipper snatched the CD from him. - "I… I don't know who's that is… just… Borrowing… It's friends… not mine." -He tried to explain, but the manotaurs were doubting him. Then he saw the spear on the floor. - "Hmm… I SHALL CONQUER THE MULTI-BEAR." -He grabbed the spear and the manotaurs cheered at him.
Dipper crossed the forest and went to the mountain; the night fell while he was on his way.

Mabel was in the comfiest bed she had ever lied on, her head rested on a pillow that seemed a cloud, the sheets were as soft as feathers, and she just couldn't sleep. - "Dipper's out there, alone, I have to help him." -She thought, then she looked at Pacifica, even in the dim light, she could see that her friend was sound asleep, she stood up and peeked through the door, there was no one at sight, and went to the main door. She reached for the doorknob.
- "What are you doing?" -She heard behind her and turned around to find Pacifica there, with a very serious expression and her arms crossed.
- "I'm sorry, but I gotta find Dipper. He's out there, with the manotaurs thread, he doesn't know where we are, neither that we're ok, so, pretty sure he'll be looking for us like crazy." -Mabel explained.
- I don't know if you understand our situation Mabel, but if you go out, you'll become the manotaurs target right away. Besides, you don't even know where is Dipper. And he's a boy, maybe the manotaurs won't hurt him or take him away." -
- "I'll start at the Shack, maybe he's there. And… If I don't understand our situation, you don't understand mine, you don't have any brother or sister to take care of, to rely on. Dipper's my brother, and despite everything, I have to be there for him, because I know he'll be there for me too." -
Pacifica sighed. - "Well… In the end it doesn't matter, the door is sealed and won't open unless you introduce the alphanumeric code on that panel, and the vocal code in the other panel, that just recognizes a Northwest family member's voice." -Pacifica explained her, pointing at both panels beside the door. Mabel sighed in deception and sniffed in sadness. - "So lucky you, because I know both codes." -Pacifica said smiling at her and Mabel smiled back, she was about to laugh hard and hug her, but Pacifica stopped her. - "Shhh! We don't want to wake anyone up." -
- "We?" -Mabel asked her.
- "Yep! I'm coming with you." -Pacifica said while introducing the first code in the panel.
- "But… It's too dangerous." -Mabel reasoned.
- "Yes! Too dangerous for you to go alone. Now keep quiet while I introduce the voice code." -Pacifica went to the mic and Mabel stayed quiet. - "THE NORTHWEST FAMILY IS THE BEST FAMILY" -The door opened for them and they snuck out of the bunker and closed the door behind them.
- "What was that?" -Mabel asked her.
- "Just a fragment from our family's precept." -Pacifica said. Both girls were going up to the mansion to go to town.
- "Let me guess." -Mabel joked and took a deep breath. - "THE NORTHWEST FAMILY IS THE BEST FAMILY BECAUSE WE'RE FILTHY RICH, DON´T HAVE TO WORK AND DON'T CARE FOR ANYONE BUT OURSELVES. Is that right?" -
- "Nope, totally the opposite." -Pacifica took a deep breath. - "THE NORTHWEST FAMILY IS THE BEST FAMILY WHEN WE TAKE CARE OF OTHERS NOT SO FORTUNATE AS US, OUR MAIN JOB IS TO BRING JOBS TO THEM, WE TAKE CARE OF THEM, OUR MONEY GIVE US STATUS, BUT OUR KINDNESS MAKE US BETTER." - She recited the precept. - "That's the precept my grandma taught my father, and he taught me. Don't take me wrong, we're filthy rich, and my dad, as any business man, makes business to earn money, as simple as that, but he uses the money he earns to help people's business. I lost the count of how many town shops were about to go out of business and my dad helped them to get on their feet again, by lending them money and teaching them to make their business better, or even buying the whole shop to save them from bankrupt." -
- "Wow! You're not the traditional millionaire family." -Mabel was surprised.
- "The fact that we're millionaire doesn't make us the millionaire stereotype right away. Despite what people thinks." -Pacifica explained while both girls crossed the Mansion's main gate.
- "Well, I think it's awesome that your family… AAAAHHHHH!" -Mabel yelled in desperation.
Both girls saw the mess in the town, buildings on fire, people screaming, gunshots everywhere, roars here and there, monsters as big as the buildings smashing them with their bare hands. The town was turned into a battlefield.
- "I HAVE TO FIND DIPPER!" -Mabel started to run like crazy to the shack.
- "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" -Pacifica yelled at her, but she stood on her place, looking between the town, and her friend.
- "TO THE SHACK! I HAVE TO MAKE SURE HE'S OK!" -Mabel yelled back, but kept running.
Pacifica tried to run behind her.
- "DON'T YOU EVEN DARE!" -Tikki yelled at her and stood in front of Pacifica, blocking her way.
- "But… she's…" -Pacifica tried to say but Tikki interrupted her.
- "There's a lot more people in danger in town Pacifica. You can't risk all those souls, just to save one." -Tikki was firm, her arms crossed and a hard look on her face.
- "But she's, my friend." -Pacifica was at the edge of crying.
- "It… It doesn't matter." -Tikki had tears already. - "I know it's a hard decision. But that's what superheroes do." -Tikki said finally.
Pacifica sighed in sadness, she looked down and took a deep breath, she sniffed and looked at her kwami in front of her. - "Tikki… sniff… SPOTS ON!" -Pacifica transformed and went straight to town.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mabel stopped after a few minutes, she turned around panting. - "Huff… So good… Huff… She… Huff… She didn't follow me… Huff." -
- "What are you going to do? My queen." -Pollen asked her coming out from below her blouse.
- "I… Huff… Have to find Dipper… Huff… And maybe, he's in the town, hiding from those monsters." -
- "Or maybe he's in the shack, already safe." -Pollen said.
- "If he's in the shack, he's safe already, but people in town isn't. Let's go Pollen." -Mabel encouraged her kwami, which sighed and smiled at her.
- "Your wishes, are commands to me." -Pollen said confidently.
- "POLLEN! LET'S BUZZ!" -Mabel transformed and went to town.
When she got there, she realized how horrible were things for real, there was fire everywhere, many people on the floor, wounded, bleeding, crying in pain, and the monsters just kept causing destruction at anything they had at sight, she hurried to help people around town, keeping herself away from the monsters' sight. - "What are those?" -She asked a man while helping him to get up.
- "Those are the manotaurs, they're really pissed this time." The man said taking his shotgun and loading it.
- "What are you doing? You can't fight them." -Queen bee warned him.
- "It doesn't matter. They already took my wife and daughter away from me." -He charged his shotgun. - "I'm going to take most of them with me, to hell, but I shall have my revenge on them. You better hide girl. I don't want them to take you too, neither to look at what's going to happen now." -He caressed her cheek and smiled kindly at her. He then pushed her away and she hide behind some debris, he limped to them. - "HEY! JERKS! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?! COME ON! I'M STILL ON MY FEET!" -He yelled and a manotaur saw him and charged at him. - "AAAAHHH! MAYA! EMILY!" -The man yelled while shooting all his bullets to the manotaur, all of them hitting the monster on the chest and face. The monster fell lifeless right in front of the man. - "ONE DOWN! Many others missing yet." -He said with a broad smile, tears falling from his eyes, while loading his shotgun again, but another manotaur appeared right behind the first one, and looked at his dead partner and the man with the gunshot in his hands. - "What are you going to do? AH?" -The man dared the manotaur.
Said manotuar decided to smash the man with his bare hand. - "AAAHHHH!" -The man yelled again, shooting at the monster's hand that was about to smash him, not backing off. The giant hand was about to smash him. Queen bee couldn't see that and closed her eyes, she heard the hit on the floor, it even made it tremble a little, she looked at the manotaur that lifted his hand to inspect his doing, but found nothing but pavement debris on his hand, he was confused.
- "LADYBUG!" -Queen bee heard the man's voice at the other side of the street and saw Ladybug carrying the man to a safe place, she decided to follow her.
- "LADYBUG! So good you're here." -Queen bee greeted her. - "What's the plan?" -
- "I don't know. What do they want?" -She asked.
- "They came on a stampede, yelling something about the women running away, and blaming the 'destructor' that fooled them." -The man said while loading his shotgun again.
- "Are you really thinking about going out again?" -Queen bee asked him.
- "OF COURSE! I have to avenge my family. They just took them away with them." He said full of anger and sadness, he was crying, but not in pain, but in sorrow for his missing family.
- "You can't! they're going to kill you!" -Queen bee tried to reason with him.
- "I DON'T CARE! Without my family, I don't have life anyway." -He was crying freely now. - "Just let me go and die fighting, so I can be with them." -He asked them.
- "What if they're still alive?" -Ladybug asked him and he didn't know what to say.
- "The manotaurs don't…" -He was interrupted by a manotaur yell.
- "LADYBUG'S HERE! FIND HER! SHE WILL BE LEADERAUR'S MATE! SHE WILL CARRY HIS OFFSPRING! SHE'S WITH ANOTHER SUPER FEMALE! BRING HER TOO! SHE WILL BEAR ANOTHER BROTHER'S OFFSPRING TOO!" -
- "THAT'S WHY THEY KIDNAP WOMEN?! TO MAKE THEM HAVE THEIR BABIES!" -Ladybug yelled in anger.
- "It seems so. And they want us." -Queen bee said, shivering.
- "No way! No way! NO WAY!" -The man yelled and without any hesitation or warning, he charged at the manotaurs, leaving ladybug and queen bee behind. - "BASTARDS! MOTHERFUCKERS! ASSHOLES!" -He yelled while shooting at them. Some manotaurs charged back at him. Ladybug and Queen bee couldn't see what happened next, because…
- "Found you!" -They both heard a deep voice behind them and saw a manotaur trying to grab them, both girls avoided their attacker and started to fight him back, but he was too big and strong, fortunately for them, ladybug could round his neck with her yo-yo string and started to choke him, but that just slowed him down, but Queen bee used the chance to hit him with an uppercut kick and knocked him out.
- "OW! OW! OW!" -Queen bee was in pain, caressing her foot and jumping on her spot with her other foot. - "Their heads are like rocks." -She complained.
- "And they're incredibly strong too. I don't know if we can handle this, and where the heck is the Black Cat?! He could be very helpful right now!" -
- "Are you saying that you need a man's help to handle this?" -Queen bee asked her.
- "In this kind of situation? YES! A man's help could come in handy!" -She sighed and Queen bee sighed too. - "We're supposed to be a team, and I'm not talking about the Black Cat and I, I'm talking about men and women, working together, as teams, as families, we are not supposed to be fighting for everything all the time, for places in society, I mean, it's cool and all to be competitive as equals in society, yes, but when we forget our places in nature, as males or females, then… everything fucks up." -She looked at Queen bee and nodded. - "The manotaurs are wrong at forcing women to have their babies, and we have to stop them, for good, but I won't deny, that my abilities and capabilities on this matter, aren't good enough, and I need a man's help." -
- "So cute!" -They both heard another deep voice and turned up to find another manotaur looking at them from atop. - "Don't you worry Ladybug. Your only concern from now on will be to take care of our leader's offspring. That is, if you survive the labor." -The manotaur threatened her.
- "Come and get me if you can." -She dared him.
- "Ahm… Ladybug." -Queen bee poked her shoulder and she turned around, to find themselves surrounded by the manotuars.
- "Dang it!" -The manotaurs charged at them, and they fought them.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Leaderour was on his throne, waiting, he heard the yells from the lower chambers. - "EMILY! EMILY!" -A woman yelled. - "MOM! MOMMY!" -A girl yelled and cried. - "Don't you dare to hurt my daughter, you bastards, when my husband comes, you'll see what is good." -The woman yelled again. Many similar screams could be heard from there.
Chutzpar came in the chamber.
- "Did you find him?" -Leaderour asked him.
- "Not yet sir." -He answered.
- "Then, why are you here?" -He asked him again. - "That kid fooled us. I want his head on a stick." -
- "Yes sir, I know but…" -
- "BUT WHAT?!" -Leaderour was pissed.
- "We brought someone that might please you, almost as much as the kids head." -
- "And who that shall be?" -
- "Bring them here!" -Chutzpar ordered. And a manotaur brought their preys, Ladybug and Queen bee.
- "Let us go you idiot!" -Both girls were struggling to get free. They were tied up.
- "LADYBUG!" -Leaderour smiled faintly. - "OK, this pleases me, but I still want that kid's head on a stick." -Leaderour said while getting up and the girls were placed on the center circle, in front of him. - "Hmm… A second female, what does she does?" -He asked.
- "We're not sure, she was with Ladybug, she seems to have superpowers too." -Chutzpar explained.
- "Really? That's good." -Leaderour seemed to think for a while. - "You've done good Chutzpar, you can have the other one, make sure to impregnate her as soon as you can, but leave Ladybug to me. She's mine from now on." -
- "Yes sir!" -Chutzpar seemed happy, and both monsters were about to grab 'their mates' from the floor, both girls were struggling to get free. Both manotaurs massive hands were about to grab the girls, who were terrified because they didn't know what would happen to them from now on, and they closed their eyes.
Then, they heard both manotaurs screaming in pain and someone grabbing them and running away.
- "Sorry for the delay my ladies. I had to do some important errands before coming." -They heard the Black Cat voice and opened their eyes. He was carrying them, on his shoulders, they could see back at his neck.
- "Better late than never, I guess. BUT WATCH YOUR HANDS EH!" -Ladybug threatened him. He had his hands on their backs, but their butts were at his reach.
- "No time for jokes!" -He scolded her and kept running. They reached the cave's exit and he dropped them gently on the floor.
- "How did you know we were here?" -Queen bee asked him.
- "Huff… Huff… The multi-bear… Huff… The multi-bear told me that they'd go on a rampage after discover that all the women they kidnaped before, escaped, and would attack the town…Huff… I was on my way back there when I saw them carrying you in here." -He explained while recovering his breath. - "Now you have to leave while I keep them busy and distract them." -He said taking his steel rod and taking a fighting stance.
- "We can't! We have to save all the women they kidnaped." -Queen bee said.
- "One of us can go to the jails and release the women, while the other two keep these jerks busy." -He suggested.
- "That won't work." -Ladybug said.
- "Why not?" -Both of them asked her, they could hear the manotaurs coming to them.
- "Because they'd just attack the town and kidnap them again." -She explained and they sighed.
- "Then what do we do?" -Queen bee asked her.
- "I don't know." -Ladybug shivered and Queen bee panicked. The Black Cat saw them and decided to do something, first he hugged them to calm them down.
- "Easy. Easy. Everything will be fine. I promise." -He said in a soothing tone and both girls calmed down. - "I know what to do." -He said and turned to the cave; he could see the manotaurs coming to them. - "I CHALLENGE LEADEROUR TO A MEN'S FIGHT!" -He yelled and the manotaurs stopped on their tracks and gasped, they just moved aside to let him get in, both girls followed him, but a manotaur tried to grab one of them, but… - "THEY'RE WITH ME!" – Black cat yelled and the manotaur stopped.
- "Are you sure about this?" -Queen bee asked him.
- "No." -
- "Can you defeat him?" -Ladybug asked him.
- "Not even the slightest chance." -He answered without any hesitation.
- "Then what are you going to do." -Both girls asked him.
- "I have no idea, but I'll think of something." -He answered and kept walking.
They reached the main chamber where Leaderour was waiting for him. Ladybug and Queen bee stayed close to the exit, the manotaurs didn't let them go ahead. The Black Cat stood in front of Leaderour, he gulped.
- "A CHALLENGE HAS BEEN SUMMONED; THE HUMAN KNOWN AS THE BLACK CAT! AGAINST OUR LEADER, LEADEROUR!" -Chutzpar announced and all the manotaurs cheered. - "THE RULES ARE SIMPLE. THEY'RE GOING TO FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAVE AT HAND! THE FIRST ONE TO SURRENDER! FALLS UNCUNSCIOUS! OR DIES! LOSES! LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!" -Chutzpar announced and the made the Wong sound to indicate the fight started.
Leaderour didn't hesitate an instant and charged against the Black Cat, who barely avoided his attack, for a while, the Black Cat avoided the monster's attacks, expecting him to get tired at some point, but that didn't seem to work. - "Oh Oh! I'm in troubles. He's not getting tired at all." -The Black Cat thought.
- "You can do it Black Cat! Just find his weak spot." -Ladybug cheered for him, but that distracted him, and he got a punch from Learedour straight on his body, that sent him to the wall, he fell to the floor and was barely conscious. He spat some blood and looked at his enemy, that was walking calmly to him.
- "His weak spot! His weak spot! What could that be? They're just massive testosterone and manliness monsters… Wait! Manliness?! That's it!" -Black Cat got an idea and got up.
- "Is that all you got Leaderour?! Because I've got stronger hits from my friends Ladybug and Queen bee when we're training.
- "WHAT?!" -Leaderour seemed pissed.
- "I mean… You can't even hit like a girl." -Black Cat mocked him.
- "WHAT?! That's insulting!" -Queen bee yelled.
- "Who cares about what you think? You're a woman." -A manotaur close to her said.
- "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" -Queen bee was about to attack him but Ladybug stopped her.
- "Let the jerk be a jerk." -Ladybug said holding her hand, she was clearly angry too. Queen bee sighed and let it go.
Manwhile, Leaderour was still attacking the Black cat, but his moves weren't as good as before, the anger was affecting his concentration on the fight and the Black Cat was getting the upper hand, he decided to attack his legs, something that big, can't keep his balance so easily, so if he hurt Leaderour's legs, he would fall and would be very hard to get up again.
- "Now you can't even hit me! Better bring a girl to take your place, pretty sure she'd give a better fight!" -The Black Cat kept mocking Leaderour with that kind of comments, pissing him off enough
To make him lose control. And it worked, at some point, Black Cat caused enough damage to make Leaderour fall to the ground, the whole cave trembled. The Black Cat got over him and threatened him with his rod on his face. - "Surrender." -He ordered him. Leaderour started to laugh. - "What's so funny?" -The Black Cat asked him.
- "Everything in the chamber, is on the fight, we are fighting, yes, but everything in here can be used in the fight." -
- "What's that supposed to mean?" -He asked.
- "You should watch your girlfriends closer." -Leaderour said and threw his spear to the girls, it would hit one of them and kill her, because the manotaurs were holding them.
- "NO!" -The Black Cat yelled and threw his rod at the spear, it hit it and deflected it. The spear got stuck on a wall, away from the girls, and Black Cat's rod fell to the ground, he sighed in relief, but Leaderour used the chance to punch the Black Cat straight on the face and sent him flying, he hit the ceiling and fell to the ground, he wasn't moving.
- "I WON!" -Leaderour yelled in victory and all the manotaurs cheered. - "Now I'll take my prize!" -He said walking to Ladybug, who was very scared, then she gasped, along with everyone there, including Leaderour. The Black Cat stood up again, he was barely conscious, and trembled on his feet. - "I don't get it! Are they your women?" -Leaderour asked him.
- "They… They are… my friends." -Black Cat answered.
- "Why are you protecting them?" -
- "That's… That's what a man does!" -Black Cat said simply.
- "FOOL! A man does whatever he wants! A man takes whatever he wants! A man doesn't waste time protecting worthless and useless females! He takes them and impregnates them. That's their only purpose! YOU ARE NOT A MAN!" -
- "Th… That's a… a relief! Because I don't want to be that kind of a man!" -Black Cat said looking straight at Leaderour, with a broad smile. That pissed him beyond anything and charged at him.
- "I didn't want to do this, because he's a living being, but I have no other choice now." -Black Cat thought and lifted his hand. - "Cataclysm." -he muttered. Leaderour threw a punch at him, a punch charged with all his strength, speed, and weight over the little man. Black Cat just extended his arm to touch the monster's knuckles, he flew away due to the impact, and fell right in front of Ladybug and Queen bee's feet, who instantly kneeled beside him, due to the manotaurs released them because they were astonished with the sight in front of them. Leaderour, the mightiest, biggest, and strongest manotaur, was turning into dust in front of them.
The girls called the Black Cat by his name and checked if he was breathing. - "What do we do? What do we do?" -Queen bee was panicking, while Ladybug tried to wake him up, to no avail.
- "Wait! Your sting!" -
- "What?" -
- "I mean… It can cause any effect, right? Can it heal wounds?" -
- "I… I don't know… I haven't used it for that." -
- "Well… Let's find out." -
- "Uh… All right. Please, let it work." -Queen bee prayed. - "BEE STING!" -she summoned her power and pinched Black Cat on the chest. After a few seconds, both girls felt like crying, but then, the Black Cat woke up breathing hard. - "Wh… What… What happened?! Did we win?!" -He asked them while recovering his breath, both girls hugged him tightly and cried from happiness.
They stood up and looked around, all the manotaurs were kneeling and bowing at them. - "What's going on?" -Black Cat asked.
- "You mightiest Black Cat! Our new leader." -Chutzpar said with his head low.
- "What?! No way! I don't want to be your leader!" -Black Cat said pissed.
- "You have to, you defeated our last leader, that automatically turned you in our new leader." -
- "Well… I reject the offer; I just want to go home and take all the women you kidnaped back to their families." -Black Cat said and then they heard a 'YES SIR'. Then, all the kidnaped women were released and lead to the super heroes.
- "LADYBUG! BLACK CAT! QUEEN BEE!" – They heard all the women cheer for them and run to them, then it was time to leave the cave, they were at the exit when the Black Cat ring, and Queen bee hairpin chirped. - "Can you handle it from here?" -Black Cat asked Ladybug.
- "Yep" -She answered and her both friends said good bye to her and all the women and left running.
- "How are we all going to get back to town from here?" -A girl about Ladybug's age asked.
- "LUCKY CHARM!" -Ladybug summoned her power and a bus appeared in front of them.
- "GREAT! I have no license!" -She complained and someone patted her back.
- "You don't, but I do." -A woman said with a kind smile. - "Everyone get in." -Everyone got into the bus, it was a little cramped, but they all got in the bus. They reached the town in a few minutes, and got saddened by the look of it, they got down of the bus and ladybug touched it and called the miraculous ladybug. To everyone's surprise, the whole town returned to normal, making them smile again. Then, Ladybug's earrings chirped.
- "Gotta go! See you later." -She said and left. While she was leaving, she heard someone yelling in happiness. "MAYA! EMILY!", "DAD!" "GEORGE!", Ladybug cried from happiness at that.

Pacifica was looking for Mabel, she was getting at the Mystery Shack, when she heard someone laughing. She got closer and saw Dipper and Mabel chatting.
- "So, he was here all the time uh?" -She asked them.
- "Oh! Hey Pacifica! What's up?" -The twins greeted him.
- "Hi guys. I'm sorry to do this, but we need to get back to the mansion before my parents awake Mabel, if they find out that we sneaked out to look for your brother, I'll be grounded until a have my very own baby." -She said and the twins laughed.
- "Yeah! You're right. Let's go Dipper, Pacifica's house is awesome." -Mabel grabbed her brother's hand. But he released her.
- "Sorry Mabel, but if I go with you, Pacifica's parents will know that you sneaked out. And I don't want her to get grounded, you two go ahead, I'll be fine, don't worry.
- "You sure?" -
- "Yes. I'll be in the Shack, I'll meet you at the diner in the morning." -
- "Well, ok, if you say so bro bro. See you in the morning." -Mabel said taking Pacifica's hand instead and leaving.
- "See you in the morning girls." -Dipper stayed there, looking at the sky for a while, when he felt sleepy, he went to his room and slept a little.
Pacifica and Mabel managed to get into the mansion again and no one noticed their absence, they went to sleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next morning Dipper found his family, along with the Northwest family sitting together at the dinner, he went in and greeted them, he sat beside his sister. He heard the last things they were talking about.
- "If the Black Cat did that, he's on the way to become a great man someday." -Stan said. - "I mean, he stood his ground, no matter what, and protected others, not worrying about his own safety. That's incredibly manly if you ask me, but, what do I know?" -He said with a broad smile, Dipper felt really happy at hearing that.
- "I totally agree with you." -Preston nodded at him. Dipper was very happy then.
