"Any idea why the Web-Head called this meeting?"
Logan, better known as Wolverine was not the most patient of men so it was understandable why he was irate with Spider-Man who had come back and called a meeting with the Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four out of the blue but didn't give much info on why.
"I'm sure he has a reasonable explanation."
Steven Rogers, better known as Captain America was always the voice of reason with the Avengers and anyone else he was with.
"It did sound urgent." Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman commented.
"Maybe Jameson has a huge bounty on him and everyone in New York is looking to cash in." Her brother, Johnny Storm who went by his hero name, the Human-Torch spoke up.
"Yeah right." Ben Grimm, the Thing and the physically strongest of the Fantastic Four was the last to speak.
The doors opened and in walked Spider-Man along with Professor X and Nick Fury.
"Well, this must be serious. All of us and SHIELD brought together." Logan commented.
"Sorry for the short notice guys, but I got back from what you might call an 'interdimensional vacation' and let me tell you I met a whole of interesting people." Spider-Man stated.
"What arachnid friend means to say is that we might have problems of our own soon coming from another universe that he recently visited." Professor X clarified. "A universe home to powerful beings, both benevolent or otherwise and many of them strong enough to be on par with the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and many others."
"So when the Web-Head came back, he called us all to inform us of this new dimension." Fury spoke next. "And even came back from his 'vacation' with a lot of pictures."
Spider-Man placed a Tablet that he had been given and it projected an image of what looked like Earth, only a few noticeable differences.
"It appears to be Earth but there are several changes in the continents." Reed Richards who was Mr. Fantastic, leader and scientist of the Fantastic Four spoke up. "Central America is broken up into islands. South America appears to be larger."
"And is it me or is South Africa flooded?" Jean Grey questioned.
"Japan's islands are all together." Logan noted. "In fact, all of Asia looks different. And Greenland looks bigger."
"And Russia is missing large chunk of land in the middle of Siberia. The size of Europe." Piotr Rasputin, better known as Colossus, was shocked to see the state of the alternate Russia.
"And the Great Lakes appear to be interconnected." Professor X noted.
"That's just the beginning here. Wait till I tell you what the locals are like." Spider-Man threw in his two cents before he started to tell everyone of his adventure.

"I AM THE GREEN GOBLIN!" The Goblin howled before his voice changed. "No, you are a monster! You took me from my son!"
"Norman!" Spider-Man called out to the Goblin who looked back at him with a fearful face.
"Peter, don't let it take me again!" The Goblin, Norman Osborn cried out fear.
At the same time, the Symbiote covering Mary Jane let out a screech before it was forced to release her, slithering down her body and onto the ground.
"Mary Jane!" Spider-Man called out as Raven retracted her magic.
Both Mary Jane and the Green Goblin, who was hopefully Norman Osborn again fell to the ground and groaned as they fell into blissful unconsciousness.
"Did it work?" Spider-Man anxiously asked Raven as he moved over to Mary Jane, kneeling down next to her.
Raven opened her eyes and sighed. "Mostly, I managed to help her overcome the alien but we have to get rid of that sword. My magic helped Osborn suppress the Goblin but we need to find a cure for him or the Goblin will return."
"I might know how." Spider-Man said as he lifted Mary Jane up in his arms. "I studied the formula that transformed Norman into the Green Goblin. I think I can make a cure."

"So, this guy made a super serum that turned him in a goblin obsessed lunatic?"
Spider-Man had just finished webbing up Norman Osborn while Raven helped with Mary Jane. They had emerged from the Symbiote chamber and sealed it off before anymore symbiotes could escape look for potential hosts.
"Yeah, pretty much." Spider-Man nodded once the doors were closed.
Raven shrugged. "Not the weirdest villain origin story I ever heard."
"Oh yeah, bet my weirdest villain can top yours." Spider-Man said jokingly.
"Was your weirdest villain a couch potato who made a remote that brought things to life and attacked a movie store clerk for not having his favorite movie?" Raven asked dryly. "Actually, I might be confusing weird with sad."
Spider-Man stopped and paused at what Raven had told him. "…Huh. So, his remote literally brought things to life?"
"He turned candy evil and had them attack my friend Cyborg who responded by eating them. Just so you know, turns out evil candy isn't good for you." Raven remarked. "He was sick for a whole night when we had…monster invasion."
"Yeesh and I thought the fast-food industry was evil." Spider-Man commented. "Okay, I can admit when it comes to weird and sad villains, you might top any I have met. The best I got is a stuntman who turned to villainy because I busted him sabotaging his own set, so he became a super-villain with a fish bulb for a head."
Raven raised an eyebrow.
"He's more menacing if you meet him."
"I'll take your word for it." Raven looked to the unconscious form of Mary Jane who was still in her Scarlet form. "As for her, the life form has bonded with her to such a level I don't know how to separate them."
"The two things symbiotes hate are fire and sonic." Spider-Man supplied. "I don't plan on putting her near any fire, so we need something very loud."
"If my friend Cybrog was here, I would have thought of his sonic cannon…Assuming we could use it in a way that wouldn't hurt her." Raven said and quickly reassured the web-themed hero.
"Well, we can't say for sure if Van Kleiss didn't have something that would allow him to control the symbiotes. Or at least try to control them." Spider-Man looked at the doors. "But no one can actually control the symbiotes."
"Sounds like you speak from experience." Raven commented.
"You have no idea."
STOMP!
Both turned to see a red and black armored figure stomping down the halls towards them.
STOMP!
"Any idea who that is?" Spider-Man asked, straightening himself.
STOMP!
"No idea." Raven admitted, her eyes narrowing. "But I guess she might have been with Van Kleiss."
STOMP!
"Guess we couldn't say it was all wrapped up yet." Spider-Man said as the woman in red and black armor stopped before them.
(Don't Stay by Linkin Park Starts)
A wrist blaster emerged from a hidden compartment on the woman's wrist, and she took aim at the two.
"Look after them." Spider-Man gestured to the still knocked out Mary Jane and Green Goblin.
The woman aimed and fired at Spider-Man who jumped into the air, somersaulting into the air and firing web shot, swinging around the hallway as the woman continued firing her wrist blaster in an attempt to hit him.
(Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe)
Spider-Man swung down and attempted to kick her with both legs but the woman blocked the attack with both arms covering her face. She then grabbed the legs and spun Spider-Man, ripping the webbing he had been using to swing around and threw him onto the ground.
(Sometimes I need you to stay away from me)
The woman attempted to blast him at close range, but Spider-Man's leg shot up, kicking the wrist blaster away as it fired, hitting the wall instead. Spider-Man then jumped up and headbutted the woman.
(Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know)
"Ow." Spider-Man staggered back, the woman's helmet apparently being very durable. "Didn't think that one through."
The woman tried to punch Spider-Man but he dodged and fired webbing in her visor, blinding her.
(Somehow I need you to go)
VISION IMPARED
MOTION SENSORS ACTIVATED
The woman moved to punch Spider-Man again, despite being blind but the web-themed hero's reflexes made him too quick and agile.
(Don't stay)
Spider-Man tried to immobilize the woman with his webbing, but her suit emitted some sort of energy surge that burned the webbing away.
(Forget our memories)
Despite being blind, the woman seemed perfectly capable of aiming and firing at Spider-Man which she tried to do. So Spider-Man lashed out with one kick and knocked the wrist blaster away.
(Forget our possibilities)
The woman 'looked' in the direction of the lost blaster before turning to Spider-Man, punching her fists together.
(What you were changing me into)
She lashed out with punches and kicks and Spider-Man had the feeling he didn't want to be on the receiving end of any of those hits.
Even more so when he saw her fist leave sizable hole in the wall.
(Just give me myself back and)
Just as she launched a spinning kick, Spider-Man ducked and fired webbing at the leg as it swept over his head. The force of the kick launched him off his feet, sailing past her but he landed perfectly on his feet and used the woman's momentum to throw the woman up, over him and into the ceiling.
(Don't stay)
The woman hit the floor not a second and was seemingly unconscious…
(Forget our memories)
Before she stood back up, ripping the webbing off her visor and more blasters emerged from hidden compartments on her shoulders.
(Forget our possibilities)
"You have got to be kidding-" Spidey fired another web string and swung up as the woman fired at him again.
(Take all your faithlessness with you)
The woman tried to shoot at Spider-Man but he missed all the shots as Spider-Man swung forward at her and kicked her into the wall.
(Just give me myself back and)
Spider-Man then tried to cover her in webbing but the energy surge from before burned the webbing away and to make matters worse, a domed energy shield appeared around her, knocking Spider-Man away.
(Don't stay)
Spider-Man was flung back down the hallway by the sudden emergence of the energy shield, kidding a few times before coming to a halt.
(Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well)
He groaned but managed to sit up, watching as the woman vanished before his very eyes. 'Oh great, she can camouflage herself too. Did whoever make that suit ever hear of the word 'overkill'? She could almost give Iron Man a run for his money.'
(Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself)
Spider-Man stood up and carefully looked around. 'Got to rely on my Spider-Sense to find her.'
Just then, his Spider-Sense screamed 'DANGER!' at him from his left.
(Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know)
The woman appeared and aimed a punch at his head. Spider-Man dodged and the two engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
(Somehow I need to be alone)
Due to his years of fighting crime in New York City, Spider-Man was a skilled and experienced combatant, and his Spider-Senses allowed him to stay clear of being hit while lashing out with a few punches of his own.
(Don't stay)
Until the woman blocked his last punch and then punched him in the face, sending him flying back.
(Forget our memories)
Spider-Man grunted when he hit the floor, but his enhanced durability allowed him to shrug off the hit and get back up. 'Forget Iron Man, this woman's strength is on par with Rhino!'
(Forget our possibilities)
The two engaged in combat again but when the woman aimed to punch him again, Spider-Man back-flipped onto her back and kicked her away.
(What you were changing me into)
The woman staggered forward and fell face first onto the ground. She growled as she got up, smashing her fist into the floor in frustration as she rose.
(Just give me myself back and)
She spun around as Spider-Man swung at her and tried kicking her, but she grabbed the foot at the last second and smashed him down.
(Don't stay)
Before she could do so, Spider-Man kicked her visor, making her staggered back.
(Forget our memories)
She spun and suddenly was much faster now, launching a super punch that sent Spider-Man flying back and crashing into the doors of the sealed symbiote chamber.
(Forget our possibilities)
"GAH!" Spidey slid down to the floor, grasping his chest as he coughed. "Okay…That hurt."
Take all your faithlessness with you
He looked up to see the woman running at him, moving much faster with each step. 'Super speed too?! Okay seriously, what the fu-'
(Just give me myself back and)
Just as the woman was about to a land a punch that would have likely been the end of him, a white energy field surrounding, freezing her in place.
(Don't stay)
Raven stepped in front of Spider-Man, using her other hand to spread energy over Spider-Man's body and heal him.
(I don't need you anymore, don't want to be ignored)
"You did good but let me take over now." Raven said to the web-themed hero before flinging the woman back down the hall.
(I don't need one more day, of you wasting me away)
The woman somersaulted and landed perfectly on her feet. She lifted her head up, seemingly glared at Raven who glared back.
(I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored)
WARNING
MAGICAL ENERGY SIGNATURE DETECTED
RECOMMENDATION: TIME DISTORTION UNIT
(I don't need one more day, of you wasting me away)
"Azarath, Metrion, Zin-GAH!"
The woman suddenly disappeared, and Raven was knocked into the wall away from Spider-Man. Before she could react, she kicked down the hallway, separating the two from working together.
(With no apologies)
Raven grunted but got up, the hits from the woman feeling as strong as Cyborg but that was no surprise.
(Don't stay)
She conjured an energy field around her and seemingly in time as the woman aimed a super punch at her face.
(Forget our memories)
'This isn't speed.' Raven realized. 'She's distorting time!'
(Forget our possibilities)
Now knowing what to do, Raven's eyes glowed pure white. "Azarth, Metrion, Zinthos!"
(What you were changing me into)
Suddenly everything froze, the woman in front of her, having been pummeling at her energy shield. She hadn't used this ability since her birthday, the night Slade had returned from the dead but it was necessary.
(Just give me myself back and)
Raven placed her hand on the woman's visor and black energy traveled down the woman's armor. With a mere flick of her hand, the woman's armor was broken into pieces and time resumed.
(Don't stay)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" There was a scream from inside the armor that made Raven pause before it died out.
(Forget our memories)
As for the woman inside, she was a dark-skinned teenage girl who fell to her knees with a groan.
(Forget our possibilities)
Spider-Man got up, looking to see Raven standing over the woman with her armor in pieces and scattered all over the floor.
(Take all your faithlessness with you)
'Maybe I should have let her fight in the beginning.' Spider-Man thought to himself before the woman collapsed.
(Just give me myself back and)
Raven knelt down and looked over the young girl, seeing she was alive.
(Don't stay)
"Is she okay?" Spider-Man asked as he walked over.
(Don't stay)
"She's alive but it looks like there has been some severe modifications done to her." Raven answered. "I think she was abducted like I was, and Van Kleiss experimented on her, to turn her into a weapon."
(Don't stay)
"Sounds like something a man like him would do." Spider-Man narrowed his eyes under his mask. "We better hurry and get her, Mary Jane and Osborn out of here."
(Don't Stay by Linkin Park Ends)
INFINITY TRAIN
Opening File: Atticus
Atticus is a Cardigan Welsh Corginian Corgi and king of Corginia and united the Cardigans and Pembrokes. After leading Tulip to the door, Atticus assisted in fighting the Steward and was flung towards a wall but was ultimately unharmed. After the Steward fled, Atticus accompanied Tulip through the rest of her journey through the train, hoping to help his new friend and to stop the Steward from harming others. Atticus greets Tulip (who he dubs "Tulip the Literate") when she arrives in the Corgi Car and gives her a "Tourginia" of Corginia.
Tulip's haste to get to the next door is interrupted by the arrival of "the monster," a mysterious force that threatens all the Corgis by flooding the kingdom. Atticus requests Tulip's help in defeating the monster, and he joins her on her journey to the door. Upon learning the monster was simply a spider sitting in front of a bright orb, Atticus quickly eats it (defeating it) but is puzzled that this does not stop the water from flowing. He then offers Tulip comfort when she expresses frustration at her lack of progress and accepts a friendly belly rub.
They soon discover the real monster, a giant robot called the Steward, who is messing with the power orbs that run the car. When the Steward opens fire on them, Atticus runs to attack and defend his kingdom, but is quickly injured, though he recovers and restores the power orbs, stopping the floods. After the Steward exits the car, Atticus decides he must hunt down the monster and bring it to justice, and declares he must join Tulip on her mission––and also because Tulip gives good belly rubs. After traveling through the Kombucha Car and the Straight-Up Italy Car (which Atticus prefers to call the "Mediterranean Republic Car"), the group arrives in the Crystal Car.
Atticus suggests Tulip take a break from figuring out the mystery of her number and mull on it for some time. When they reach a cliff-face, Atticus uses his knowledge of answers often coming from above to figure out where the door is. He translates the miming of the crystal man Greige to learn how to get to the door, which reportedly involves singing an emotional song to a nearby crystal. Atticus immediately thinks of a song from his people called "The Ballad of Mustard and Stinktail," but it does not work because the crystal does not recognize howling.
Neither One-One's nor Tulip's attempts seem to work, so Tulip resolves to build a ladder while Atticus relates the entire, extremely long story of Mustard and Stinktail to Greige and One-One. When it turns out the door is locked and Greige explains the song needs to be important to the singer, Atticus realizes his song almost worked because he thought of it immediately, thus Tulip needs a song that is emotional to her. He watches Tulip end up singing "Word Up!" by Cameo, which he encourages and dances along. The song summons a crystal Giant who unlocks the door for them.
The group wraps up an adventure in the Dinosaur Car (featuring a tyrannosaur whose name Atticus immediately forgot) and prepares to go to the next car but are interrupted by the arrival of a completely different car. The Cat arrives, whom Atticus immediately distrusts. The Cat shows Tulip a video tape, which Atticus warns against. After Tulip discovers the tape was an attempt to trap her, she angrily marches out and covers up her number. Atticus marches out of the car with his tail up.
After a stop in the Spa Car, which Atticus does not find as relaxing as Tulip or One-One did, they find themselves in an odd car, which One-One claims is broken. The inhabitants of the car, a group of turtles led by King Aloysius III, arrive. Atticus quickly bonds with his fellow royalty, and they share stories of their respective kingdoms as Aloysius shows them to the door. He requests more time in the car from Tulip, using his head-tilting manipulation technique to get an extra hour.
Aloysius continues to show him around the kingdom, and Atticus takes in the town's many curiosities. The tour is interrupted by One-One's frantic efforts to "fix" the car, which nearly tears apart the entire kingdom. After Tulip manages to stop One-One, Atticus offers the help of the Corginian Response Team to help with disaster relief, and he and Aloysius part on good terms. An adventure in the Jellybean Car leaves Atticus covered in jellybeans, one of which Tulip has to cut out of his fur. They find themselves in the Chrome Car, where Atticus cannot resist the urge to bark at his own reflection, though he joins Tulip and One-One in having fun.
Atticus witnesses Tulip's reflection coming to life and explaining they need to switch places and expresses misgivings about it working, which turn out to be true when Mirror Tulip betrays her. Upon noticing his reflection come to life he barks at it again and witnesses the Mirror Police arriving to destroy the Mirror Tulip and kidnapping the real Tulip. When the police start coming through the ground Atticus and One-One hold them off, and they all manage to escape to the Pencil Bank Car. After a journey in the Luau Car and an overnight stay in the Graph Car, the group arrive in the Ball Pit Car where Atticus happily plays around.
He overhears Tulip remarking she wants to go home and expresses surprise, as he knew she was initially planning to go to game design camp. When Tulip asks why he has stuck with her, he explains he needs to avenge his kingdom but he also strongly values his alliance and friendship with Tulip. They encounter Khaki Bottoms, who leads them on a fun-filled imagination-based journey through the car's jungle gym. The adventure is interrupted by the arrival of the Steward, whom Atticus distracts in a bid to help Tulip escape and also protect his kingdom.
When the Conductor arrives Atticus tries to protect Tulip by attacking it, but the Conductor easily captures him and, threatening Tulip's safety, fires a gun at Atticus which seemingly kills him (losing his crown in the process) and transforms him into a Ghom. The Ghom Atticus starts to suck out Tulip's life force but seemingly stops himself when he realizes what he is doing, but cannot resist the urge to attack her, forcing a tearful Tulip to trap him in a makeshift cage. Tulip remains by the caged Ghom Atticus before deciding to leave him behind, which causes her number to start to increase. After an intervention by the Cat and One-One where she learns the Conductor's true identity as Amelia and a way to fix Atticus using the same cannon the Conductor used, Tulip ignores an opportunity to go home and resolves to head to the front of the train to stop Amelia and get Atticus back to normal.
Arriving at the Engine, Tulip brings Atticus's makeshift cage with her and unleashes Ghom Atticus on the Steward, distracting it long enough for Tulip to fetch the cannon and an orb that will turn him back into a corgi. Tulip manages to fire a shot at the Ghom, but her efforts seemingly fail when the Steward knocks it into a wall. When One-One, the true Conductor, regains control of the Train, the Steward attempts to remove him but is stopped by One-One's command. In that moment Atticus, now in his original form, bursts out of the Ghom body and destroys the Steward, finally avenging his kingdom.
He and Tulip happily reunite, and he witnesses One-One summoning the door Tulip can use to go home, to which he remarks he missed a lot for the amount of time he was gone. He and One-One offer Tulip a final emotional goodbye, Before Tulip leaves, Atticus promises her to remember Tulip forever.

The door opened behind them and a voice called out. "Mabel!"
Eyes wide, Mabel slowly turned around and saw her brother along with her cousins, a tall blue haired boy holding a shepard's cane and a short haired kid carrying a hunk of wood with a face drawn on it.
"Dipper…"
"Grandpa!" Zoe and Frida rushed past Dipper to hug their grandfather who hugged them back but neither Pine Twins noticed this.
Brother and Sister simply stared at each with everyone else watching in silence…
And then Mabel ran up and hugged her brother with all her strength, crying as she buried her face in his shoulder. "I'M SO SORRY!"
"Mabel!" Dipper hugged her back. "I'm the one who is sorry!"
"I didn't mean to-"
"-I should have thought-"
"-how you felt-"
"-I thought-"
"-I would never-"
"See you again!" Both twins finished at the same time.
Ford managed to catch up and spotted Dipper and Mabel hugging while behind them was… "Stan!"
"Ford!" Stan called out with a smile but then looked at the two kids. "Uh, maybe we should get into the next car and work things out."
"Yeah, definitely." Dipper nodded, pulling away from Mabel. "We…all got some things to talk about."
Xxx
"You really came looking for me?"
The next train, the one that Dipper had emerged from led into what looked like a temple of some kind with a night sky and even a moon shining down on the group as they entered the car.
A fire was soon enough set up and everyone were gathered around it, talking to each other.
Dipper looked to his sister. "Of course, Mabel. You should know I would have gone after you, no matter what."
Mabel looked saddened as she brought her knees up to her face.
"Mabel, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't do much to help you. I was so bust with Grunkle Ford and I thought you'd have your friends with you…" Dipper trailed off and looked at the fire. "I didn't mean to make you upset."
"It's okay…" Mabel looked up with a smile. "I got to make some new friends and I had some fun being on this train…But I didn't have you, or Grunkle Stan, Grunkle Ford or any of our friends here. I wished you'd all be here with me but I didn't think I'd…"
Dipper chuckled. "I know. The train caught us all by surprise too."
Mabel's smile faltered for a second. "So…You really came looking for me?"
Dipper raised an eyebrow. "You asked me that already. Mabel, are you okay?"
"I just…I just…" Mabel's eyes were growing watery now. "Why do you try so hard for me, Dipper?"
"What?" Dipper wasn't expecting that question.
"I make things so hard for you. I didn't believe you when those gnomes tried marrying me, I forced you into the sock puppet theater that got you possessed and maimed by Bill, I made you give up on Wendy so I could have Waddles and when I ran off, I got you, Grunkle Stan and everyone trapped on this train! All because I threw a fit!"
Mabel buried her face in her arms and knees as she hugged herself tightly. "Why do I keep screwing up?"
Dipper immediately hugged his sister. "Mabel, you didn't screw up. Look, I went too far in time traveling to win Wendy over, I thought it was a vampire trying to eat you instead of gnomes trying to make you their queen…I guess I can still count that as me being thirty percent right. I made the deal with Bill that time, I got myself possessed but you helped me stop him and…I was wrong."
Mabel looked up her brother with a tear face. "About what?"
"I shouldn't have accepted Ford's proposal…At least not right off the bad. Grunkle Stan talked with me and I hadn't even realized I would have to try and explain why I would be staying to Mom and Dad. Living with a relative they know nothing about and the other one who's a conman. No way, they would have said yes." Dipper said with sad smile. "You said I think too much but I wasn't thinking enough this time."
Mabel rubbed her face, wiping away the tears. "So…you won't leave? But you would be able to do everything you ever wanted."
"I could and I probably will…Just not today." Dipper replied, patting his sister on the shoulder. "When I'm ready and grown a bit. We still have some things to work out before I am actually ready. Until then…We still gotta get through high school together."
Mabel made a small smile. "Yeah…Hug?"
"Want one?"
"Yes please."
Dipper hugged Mabel who immediately hugged him back. Not far away, Zoe and Frida smiled in their direction.
As they hugged, their numbers started to go down.

"So, you guys got on this train too huh?" Eddy was staring at the fire, not looking at his two friends.
"Indeed." Double D nodded. "I came aboard to help the Pines family track down Mabel who boarded first. Ed, how'd you end up here?"
Ed was happy at first before he looked sad. "…Sarah."
Eddy and Double D looked at him. "Sarah?"
"…Sarah's missing, and Mom was sent to a place to help her get better." Ed explained. "I moved in with Rolf."
Double D raised an eyebrow. "Rolf took you in?"
"Into his shed."
"Well, at least it's better than having to put in a foster home far from the cul-de-sac." Double D mused. "Eddy told me about your adventure into space. What was that about?"
Ed held up a hand and both friends watched it turned to slime which made Double D jump back. "Good lord!"
"I got slime power, Double D." Ed smiled sadly.
"Some crystal ladies wanted him for his weird powers." Eddy rolled his eyes. "We all got kidnapped because of him, that blue fire kid and the candy girl."
Ed frowned at Eddy which Double D noticed. "Eddy, don't blame Ed for that. He didn't know about his powers."
"So what? I still got locked up in a weird zoo." Eddy scoffed. "You have no idea what it's been like, Double D."
Double D glared at him. "Oh really?"
"Yeah." Eddy simply said.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"
"Yeah, rea-"
"My parents are dead!" Ed and Eddy froze, staring wide eyed at Double D who was glaring at Eddy as he stood up. "It seems in all this time, Eddy that you haven't changed a bit. You still put yourself before everyone else no matter how much they might have suffered and always blame someone else, especially me when something has gone wrong. If you would have been silent and listened, I would have shared how the contest I entered was fake, my parents were tortured by cult madmen, and they died in the hospital even after I save them from the long-term effects of the torture. But no, you never listen, you never, you never think, it always about you."
Double D turned around. "Well, not this time. If you want to get off this train, Eddy you have to take a good long look at yourself and decide if you the person you are acting like is the person you truly want to be."
With that, Double D walked over to the other side of the fire, away from Ed and Eddy who could only stare…
While Eddy's number went up.

Everyone had spent what felt like a night resting, the fire having been put out before they all went to sleep and now, they were ready to continue their journey. Of course, there was some tension in the group, specifically between Eddy and Double D who refused to look at each other.
"So, you want off this train?" The talking…cat said to the group of kids in front of her. "Well, the only way you can is by working on your issues and perhaps journeying through the car. Perhaps they might be with the conductor."
"We can find our other missing friends." Double D suggested to his fellow Peach Creek kids and friends. "I understand that a few others have disappeared from Gravity Falls."
"Fine, we'll go on this stupid journey." Eddy groaned and with that they set off through the mysterious Infinity Train.
It was about several more minutes, around thirty until Jonny started to ask the famous, 'Are we there yet?' question.
"Are we there yet?"
"Not yet." Samantha answered.
Twenty more minutes passed, and they entered a new car.
"What about now?" Jonny asked.
"Nope." Zoe answered.
Twenty more minutes passed, and they entered the next car.
"Hey, are we there yet?" Asked Jonny.
"No..." Rolf said annoyed.
Fifteen minutes passed and they entered a new car.
"Are we there yet?"
"No!" Dipper yelled.
"Are we there yet?"
"Yes." Eddy answered.
"Really?" Jonny asked.
"NO!" Eddy yelled furiously.
New car only after ten minutes.
"Are we there yet?"
New car.
"No!" Samantha yelled.
More new cars.
"Are we there yet?"
"No, we are not!" Yelled Kevin.
Same as usual.
"Are we there yet?"
"NOOOOOO!" Everyone yelled in unison.
Only another second passed as Jonny asked yet again, only to have Eddy speak over him, interrupting Jonny. "Hey, are we there yet?"
Jonny noticed Eddy copying exactly what Jonny was saying and speaking over him. "Hey, that's not funny-"
"You know this is really immature-" Dipper, Kevin, and Zoe dragged their hands down their faces.
"See? This is why Plank doesn't like you-"
"Alright, we're lost-"
"I'll just stop talking!" Jonny yelled; this time NOT being interrupted by Eddy.
"Finally!" Eddy sighed, with a relieved look on his face.
"But this is taking forever guys! We don't even have a place to charge up our tablets to listen to music or nothing!" Jonny complained.
"It's called the Infinity Train, Mr. 2/4... There is literally no end to the cars aside from starting with the conductor's car. THAT'S where we're going and it just so happens to be... Very, very, far... AWAY..." Samantha said, literally whispering the last word with a pained look on her face.
"Fine, okay I get it! I'm just so darn bored!" Jonny crossed his arms.
"Well, find a way to entertain yourself!" Eddy yelled.
Jonny sighed in sorrow…
Only to smile a couple of seconds later as he started cracking his fingers, visibly making everyone incredibly annoyed and uncomfortable.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
"Oooohhhhhhh!... For FIVE minutes, Jonny... Can you just, y'know, not be yourself?... FOR FIVE FREAKING MINUTES?!" Eddy yelled at Jonny as he turned back around to walking.
Jonny remained silent for a while, until he brought his hand back to the front where Dipper, Eddy, and Samantha were. Dipper and Samantha saw this, and they braced for impact.
Crack!
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH! ARE WE THERE YET!?" Eddy yelled, putting his hands over his ears.
"No, but I see something up ahead." Dipper pointed forward. "It looks like an army…of dogs."
"Correction." Samantha said uneasily. "Those are corgis."
