Opening File: Shadow Matter Dust
Of the many forms of Dust in the world all of them can be dangerous if not handled properly but the most dangerous ones are the illegal ones. There is the Toxic Dust, Hydrogen Dust, Mutagenic Dust and Shadow Matter Dust. Several scientists tested this rare form of Dust and discovered it to have extreme amounts of power but it also far too unstable to be used by regular class hunters. When it was tested in combat it was discovered this Dust could control the immediate unseen dark matter around the body and manifest it into solid shape for an instant. The wielder could craft indestructible blades out of thin air, move them with lightning speed, leaving no trace of a weapon.
Tapping into this Dust also allows for full body matter displacement, making movement appear instantaneous. The power also tempers one's reflexes, and movement speed, making it easy to take on multiple opponents or deal severe damage to a single target. This Dust was so powerful it even affects space and time, allowing the user to phase in and out, making it extremely powerful and equally dangerous. Prolonged use of this Dust has the potential to completely sever the user's connection with space and time, potentially trapping them inside a theoretical void that exists outside the space time continuum.
This Dust has thus been labelled highly illegal and must be contained if found. Anyone attempting to hide or harbor this Dust would face twenty years in federal prison as a penalty.

"The one thing that all civilizations run on is energy. Electricity, fuel, sunlight, anything that can power on the televisions, phones and computer we use in our daily lives. Energy is what we rely on for everything in the modern age and without we'd still be living in the Stone Age. But all forms of energy can be dangerous and if not properly handled it can lead to a catastrophe." TOM remarked as the file closed. "Some the best sources of energy were also used as the worst weapons in history. We all must be careful when using this power or it will come back to bite us in the back."

"Hold still, Pinky!"
Pink Diamond rushed out of the entrance of the Moon Base, pulled out into the vacuum of space with the possessed Green Diamond chasing after her. Spinning around, she conjured her shield and used to block a sphere of green lightning that was hurled after her. The force of the blast sent her flying off the surface, smashing into one of the many asteroids once part of the Shattered Moon. Green Diamond flew after her, firing more spheres that crackled with green lightning.
Pink quickly evaded the incoming attacks, jumping from asteroid to asteroid. Finally she landed on one slightly bigger than her and used it as a spring launcher to catapult her straight at Green Diamond. She swung her down but Green Diamond easily caught it between her fingers.
"Oh, was this supposed to be your big move?" Green Diamond laughed, Bill's voice overlapping hers as they spoke even though they were in space but Pink could still hear them.
She channeled electricity into the sword, shocking Pink Diamond who let out a scream but held on.
"It's amazing how the other Diamonds except you brush off how strong this little cleaving together technique can make them. It wasn't until the Grimm attack did these two get a taste and between you and me, they actually liked it." Green Diamond went on. "With Yellow liking keeping Blue safe from harm while loving the emotional support she gets from it and Blue loving the feeling of Yellow holding her, sharing her strength. It's rather sappy but I can stomach it enough to get the job done."
Pink gritted her teeth as she fought through the pain. "This isn't what fusion is supposed to be!"
"And who are you to say how anything goes when the point of you rebelling is because you didn't like following the rules?" Green rolled her eyes. "Love, strength, power, does it really matter in the long run who does it and why they do it?"
She flicked Pink away, sending her crashing into an asteroid.
"Really now, since when did you start saying how others should act with fusion when you don't even share your deepest, darkest parts?" Green flew after Pink.
Pink looked up, seeing Green reaching out to grab her but the smaller Diamond dodged the hand and flew past Green's head. She then kicked off an asteroid and slammed into Green, conjuring a pink bubble around them as they started falling to the Earth.
"And what do you hope to do with this?" Green asked as she spun around. "You'll only end up hurting Blue and Yellow. Maybe you'll even shatter all three of yourselves."
Pink narrowed her eyes. "This is my mistake. I should never have trusted you, Bill Cipher. You got into my head, tricked me into hurting Blue and Yellow…Far worse than they ever might have hurt me. This is not what I want but if we end up shattering because of this…At least you won't have us!"
Bill laughed through Green Diamond's mouth as the pink bubble's fall into the atmosphere accelerated, flames surrounding the bubble as Pink kept them all contained. Like a shooting star the sphere shot down through the planet, impacting the surface in the middle of a desert…

"Ugh…."
"Rose!"
It took nearly forever for her to open her eyes but when she finally the first thing she saw was Pearl, cradling her in her arms. "Pearl?"
"Oh thank the stars!" Pearl let out a huge sigh of relief. "When you fell to Earth I was terrified."
"Fell to…That's right!" Pink shot up out of Pearl's arms, sitting on the ground and looking around, finding herself in the center of a large crater. "Green Diamond, where is she?!"
"Separated." Pearl pointed at the other end of the crater, where two large gemstones colored blue and yellow sat.
Pink sighed in relief as she walked over to the gemstones, looking them over for damage. "Did the impact damage its form enough to force Blue and Yellow back into their gems?"
"I'm not sure. When I found you, you were simply unconscious. I guess the sudden possession along with the impact and the possible confusion is why they have yet to emerge." Pearl surmised, standing next to Pink as they looked over the two diamonds. "There'll be no way to explain to them what really happened when they emerge."
"Then we won't." Pink said, picking up some dirt. "They'll be expecting Pink Diamond when they emerge…But perhaps it would be better if they think Pink Diamond was shattered for doing this to them."
"…My Diamond?" Pearl asked.
"If they know about Rose Quartz because of Bill then they will come after us and they won't stop…Unless they think Pink Diamond and Rose Quartz was shattered from the impact." Pink said as she crushed the dirt until all that was left…were pieces resembling pink shards in her hands. "They might leave the other rebels alone if they believe the leader was destroyed. They chose Pink Diamond over this planet…But Pink Diamond chooses this planet over them."

"You are saying Ed blew up the entire sparring room?"
"Sure did and almost us with it."
"Wow! Far out, right Plank? I wish I could have been there to see it!"
"Jonny, that's not awesome. He blew up a room belonging to one of those Diamonds. We'll be lucky if he's not in trouble for it."
"Calm down, Nazz. Ed's survived a lot worse but I can just imagine the look on those Diamonds' faces when Ed blew up the training room! HAHA!"
"World's best friend everyone."
"You betcha. Now, let's wake Lumpy up."
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
"Get up stupid!" Eddy shouted, having slapped Ed across the face several times before he finally woke up.
Ed sat up with a happy grin. "Where did I go?"
"There, he's up." Eddy along with the rest of the group aside from Bubblegum standing near the bed.
Abby, still wearing her training clothes along with Nigel, rolled her eyes. "Like I said, world's best friend."
"Oh, hi guys!" Ed started removing his bandages and casts, revealing that he was perfectly fine even though he had been in an explosion and buried under rubble.
"How are you all right?" Nigel asked. "A room with the ceiling the size of a basketball court fell on you."
"Save yourself the trouble and give on understanding. I did on the first day I met him." Eddy remarked as several floating fingers appeared around Ed, giving him a scan.

"Looks like you got a clean bill of health, big guy." Nazz remarked with a smile. "At least we can count on the hospitals here to be better than back home."
"Speaking of," Nigel looked back at the others. "How have you guys been doing by the way? We haven't seen you since the tour."
"Managing for the most part." Nazz shrugged. "They weren't kidding about the Yellow Division here."
Xxx
(Flashback)
Nazz was running down a yellow colored hall with numerous turrets coming out of the floors and walls, shooting at her and the other trainees with bright electrical pulses. Nazz cried out as she ducked, rolled and ran as she as she could to make it to the end.
(Later)
Nazz was holding a staff as she sparred with another trainee over a single beam.
(Later)
Nazz was then sparring in hand to hand, taking on a big red furred Mobian…Who easily took her down with a body slam.
Xxx
"I am just sore remembering it all." Nazz grunted as she rubbed her arms. "They put me through all sorts of training. Guess I'll know what to expect if I join the military."
"Rolf inspected their harvesting." Rolf held up a blue colored fruit. "Very simplistic compared to home and this small fruit fills Rolf belly despite being too small that it could feed an entire village. But that is not the worst Rolf has discovered! Rolf has discovered something so horrible about this place he almost cannot say it."
"What is it?" Jonny asked.
"They have… NO MEAT!" Rolf, the Son of Shepard broke down and cried as he answered. "POOR FOOLS DO NOT KNOW WHAT MEAT IS!"
Everyone simply stared at Rolf as he cried, Jonny taking the chance to pat the sobbing Son of Shepard on the back.
"Is this going to be a problem?" Nigel asked.
"Rolf having to go days without meat? Oh yeah." Eddy nodded.
"Still fun." Jonny grinned. "I loved the forests around here but's it not as cool as the dragons!"
Nigel, Abby and Ed simply stared at Jonny. "Dragons?"
"He's not kidding, for once." Nazz smiled, her glinting with pure awe and excitement. "We have dragons."
Xxx
(Flashback)
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jonny screamed as a dragon, specifically a Deadly Nadder shot needles at him. "THIS IS SO COOL, PLANK!"
Xxx
"Yeah, since we're part of the Blues around here we get to feed and hang out with dragons!" Jonny squealed in absolute excitement.
"I have to admit that was very fun." Eddy snickered.
"While the Yellow Division trains how to ride dragons." Nazz inputed.
Xxx
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Nazz screamed as she held onto the back of a dragon, trying not to fall off as it flew through the skies.
Xxx
"It was fun." Nazz chuckled nervously as the few near death experiences she had while riding one of the dragons popped up in her mind.
"So lucky…" Ed pouted.
"I inspected the classes they have for the children. It's very…interesting." Monty admitted. "The way they do it is something called thermogenic cosmesis."
"You mean like brainwashing?" Abby asked.
"Not exactly." Monty replied. "It's kind of like sharing knowledge between minds but not brainwashing. I tried it and soon enough I had a whole class playing the sousaphone."
"Oh no." Nigel muttered, shaking his head with an annoyed face while Abby gave him an amused look before she looked around.
"Hey, where's Bubblegum?" She asked.
"Here." The answer came from the door as Bubblegum walked into the room. "I had a chance to look over the medical archives for the people here in the zone. I wanted to see what exactly made these people age so well."
"What did you find out?" Nazz asked.
"The people here are healthy, absolutely healthy. Their immune systems are more advanced than I could have believed possible. Obviously when the Gems built this place they took into the account of what the organics must need to survive." Bubblegum explained. "There is no chance of a virus breaking out because whatever diseases that came with the ancestors of everyone here was eradicated by the Gems. They must have learned how the immune systems in organic bodies work and somehow enhanced it to the point that any leftover diseases wouldn't stand a chance. It is common for Gems under Blue Diamond to check on the health of everyone registered in the zone so they must have eventually created their own advanced medicine to keep everyone healthy."
"That's kind of cool." Nazz admitted.
"Maybe but we're still trapped." Monty looked at his son, Abby and Ed. "You three have met the Diamonds. What can you tell us about them?"
"Well, we know White Diamond is insane." Abby started, shivering at the mere memory of the first Diamond she had met.
"Blue Diamond on the other hand seems a bit more reasonable but she's also depressed from what we saw. She's not exactly open to the idea of letting us go but she doesn't want to hurt us either." Nigel continued. "As for Yellow Diamond, I think she hates us being here more than we do."
"Really?" Monty asked.
Nigel nodded. "She pushed for the spar with those red Gems called Rubies that led to Ed ending up here. She's not going to go easy on us."
"Hmm…" Monty brought a hand to his chin. "So, we have one Diamond you consider insane, the other is depressed and the other is angry."
"Pretty much." Abby shrugged.
"We still have no idea how to escape so I am not sure what advice I can offer aside from continuing to play along." Monty sighed. "I know it's not what you want but it's just how the situation is at the moment."
"Might not be too hard. Ed's gotten a little friendly with Blue Diamond." Nigel pointed to his fellow Elemental. "He even got her to open up a bit. Seems she's been depressed ever since Pink Diamond was shattered. I don't think these Gems have shrinks."
"She's hurt." Ed said like it was simple. "She lost a sister and no one knows how to help her cope."
"Let me just remind you guys that these Gems are invaders who tried take over Earth, want to destroy and kidnapped us." Abby cut in sourly. "Not to mention she almost let us get killed in that fight."
"That was more Yellow's fault than Blue's but it's hard not to feel bad for either of them." Ed replied. "I almost lost my sister once and I know how much that can hurt. Plus, maybe helping can help make her into a better person. She already wishes for a way to spare Earth so why not help her find one?"
"Oh boy." Abby sighed as she turned away.
"It's not the worst idea out there." Monty admitted.
"Come on." Abby threw her arms up. "Really?"
"Hey, it's not fun for us either, sweetheart." Eddy gestured to Ed. "He's the one getting onto a goddess' good side."
Abby scowled and grabbed Eddy by the collar. "And calling me 'sweetheart' is a good way to get on my bad side."
"Abby," Monty cut in gently.
Abby took a deep breath and let the loudmouth go. "Okay, so how exactly are we doing this?"
"Pardon the interruption, Elementals."
The group spun around, seeing the three Pearls at the door, bowing their heads in greetings. "Blue Diamond wants to speak with the Elementals once Slime is fully recovered."
"Ready to go!" Ed said happily but stopped. "Uh…Where do we go?"
Xxx
The place in question turned out to be one of the crystalline towers in the center of the city, the pink one to be exact.
"This is where Blue Diamond is waiting." The Ice Pearl said.
The three Elementals stared at the giant pink colored doors, each of them wondering what Blue Diamond wanted to speak with them about.
The Ice Pearl walked over to the wall computer next to the doors and opened them. "Please step inside. We will wait outside."
The interior of the tower was strange, even after everything else the three had seen since they had been brought here. Inside was a dimly lit pink room with hundreds of pink bubbles hovering in the air like balloons, each containing the same kind of gem. There were many pedestals, two stairways, a large pillow and two exits: one down the stairs and one up the stairs. In the center of the room was Blue Diamond, kneeling underneath the many pink bubbles but stood up when she heard the doors open.
She turned around, showing lines of tears down her cheeks along with puffy eyes, indicating that she had been crying. The sight of her brought out feelings of pity in Nigel, Ed and even Abby who had been the most distrustful of the Diamonds since the abduction.
Perhaps she just felt sorry for the depressed ruler in her current state.
"You are here." Blue Diamond wiped her tears away and adopted a solemn expression. "Thank you for coming. I heard from the healers that your injuries were non-threatening."
"Oh, they weren't so bad." Ed waved off what happened and smiled. "Ed is always okay."
"Ed?" Blue Diamond raised an eyebrow.
"That's…his name." Nigel supplied, gesturing to himself and Abby. "Everyone on Earth has a different name so we can tell each other apart. For starters, I'm Nigel and this is Abby."
"E-D, NI-GEL, AB-BY." Blue Diamond hummed, slowly sounding out each name. "Such strange names, but then again it actually suits you and the odd customs of your race. I always did have difficulty trying to understand."
Ed let out a good nature chuckle. "Yeah, Earthlings are weird."
"Anyways," Blue Diamond cleared her throat. "My main reason for asking to speak with you is in regards to what happened in Yellow's training room. It was completely unnecessary for Yellow to take things that far for a simple training course, especially when it was the first."
"Oh that." Ed suddenly remembered. "That was fun."
"F-un?" Blue Diamond sounded confused as she repeated the word. "I do not understand."
"He's saying that he enjoyed the spar, even if it got out of hand." Nigel translated for her.
"Oh…Sounds like something a Quartz would say." Blue Diamond said, smiling a bit. "I'm glad there are no lasting injuries or negative feelings for it. You can rest assured that it will not happen again. I have decided to take over in your training."
"You have?" Abby asked.
Blue Diamond nodded and sighed. "Yellow has trained organics before but that was a long time ago. Her methods are always straight forward, set up the course and the obstacles to be defeated. She believes the best answer to any situation involves strength but I understand enough that does not apply in this manner of training. So for the time being the training will be supervised by me and my court."
Nigel and Abby shared a quick look while Ed simply smiled and nodded. At the very least Blue Diamond seemed the most stable of the three Diamonds so far. Sure she was under orders to keep them here but so far she's been honest with them from the moment they had met her.
"Now, given the cycles of when organics are active and need rest I believe you have had enough training this solar cycle. After your next rest period the next training session will be in my palace." Blue Diamond continued.
"Does that mean we will get to see your weapon?" Ed asked suddenly.
Blue Diamond seemed surprised by that question. "Oh well…I haven't had a reason to use my weapon in over…five thousand years."
"Really? That long? Does it even work after all this time? Hunters on Earth have to constantly look after their weapons to keep them breaking apart." Ed said, looking confused.
Blue Diamond chuckled slightly. "Oh, right. I shouldn't be surprised that you don't know. We Gems are capable of storing almost anything in our gemstones. I store my weapon in my own gemstone where it will never 'break apart' as you said."
"Ohhhhh." Ed said, sounding awed by the very idea. "Can you show us?"
Blue Diamond seemed hesitant but the hopeful look on Ed's face, it reminded her so much of her face that she couldn't resist. "Very well."
She stood up and brought a hand to her gemstone that started to glow. From the glowing gem came the end of what looked like a staff that Blue Diamond grasped and pulled out, revealing it to be a massive scythe. The staff was dark blue, matching the color of Blue Diamond's robe while the curved blade seemed to be made of a blue crystalline substance matching the color of Blue Diamond's gemstone and another dark blue gemstone at the top of the staff connected to the blade.
Blue Diamond twirled the scythe in her hands a few times before simply lowering it for the Elementals to see. "Behold, my Rainfall."
"Wow." Ed marveled.
Even Nigel and Abby had to admit it was an impressive weapon; even it was also extremely intimidating. They suddenly imagined Blue Diamond wielding it…
And got the image of her as a reaper, cutting them to bits!
"It was made from the core of one of my colonies, forging with dust from my own gemstone to give it its power and made it indestructible." Blue Diamond said, smiling with slight pride as she showed her weapon before putting it back in her gemstone. "Now them, I have an appointment I have to keep. So for now, I suggest you all take the time to properly familiarize yourself with the zone and perhaps seek out the dragon site where the dragons in the zone reside before waking cycle is over."
"DRAGONS!" Ed exclaimed with pure excitement.
Blue Diamond let out a small giggle as she gestured for her Pearl to open the doors. "This is a restricted area of the zone and a place I hold dear so I must insist you leave now. I cannot have any unauthorized visits to this place."
The Elementals obeyed her wishes, waking out of the tower and Blue's Pearl closed the doors behind them.
"Um, Blue Diamond, ma'am." Nigel spoke up, earning her attention. "When we were brought here we learned that someone came with us and was sorted into the White Division here. If it is alright with you may we be allowed to see him?"
Blue Diamond considered the question for a minute. "Hmm…I suppose you can be allowed. As the Elementals you have access to all the divisions here in the Special Zone but your Pearls must be with you at all times."
"Okay, thank you." Nigel nodded.
Blue Diamond nodded back before walking away with her Pearl, leaving the Elementals and their Pearls.
"Well Ed, time to see what happened to this Kevin fellow of yours." Nigel said, pointing to the white tower nearby.
"Wherever he is I hope he knows about the dragons." Ed mentioned as they headed to the tower.
Xxx
"Ladies and gentlemen! Today I am delighted to announce my plans for the former Mystery Shack. I give you... Gideonland!"
A large crowd was gathered outside the Mystery Shack, waiting for Gideon's announcement.
Except for the three Pines and Soos who disguised themselves and snuck in.
"What?!"
"We're gonna turn this dirty ol' shack into three square miles of Gideon-tertainment. And introducin' our new mascot, Lil' Gideon Jr.!"
Bud Gleeful pulled off a cloak to reveal Waddles in a Gideon costume.
"Boom, he's a pig!"
Mabel gasped in horror at what Gideon had done to her precious pig. "Waddles! You monster!"
"All right, that's it!" Stan pulled off his disguise, followed quickly by Dipper and Mabel.
The Pines then pushed their way into the crowd and run up the stage.
"Listen up, people. Gideon's a fraud! This kid broke in and stole my property!" Stan shouted.
"Arrest him, officers!" Mabel ordered.
"Yeah!" Dipper agreed.
"Such accusations! Mr. Pines, I recall you gave the property to me. Look, here's the deed right here!" Gideon pulled the deed out of his shirt as he spoke.
"Well that's all the proof I need to see." Blubbs shrugged.
"I love you, Lil' Gideon! Sing them funny songs!" Durland said cheerfully.
Gideon snapped his fingers, and the guards got ready to kick the Pines off the stage.
The first grabbed a hold of Mabel. "Hey!"
Dipper and Stan are then grabbed by the two guards.
"Now get off my property, old man!" Gideon slapped a Gideon pin on Stan.
"I'll show you who's the old man!" Stan said before hearing aid acted up. "Ow, my hearing aid! Ow!"
The Pines were then carried off the stage by the guards.
"Thanks for visiting Gideonland, friends! Don't come back, I don't care for y'all." Gideon cheerfully waved goodbye.
Xxx
The Pines and Soos were forced to watch the ceremony through a chain-link fence, sighing as they leaned on it.
Dipper kicked a rock out of frustration. "Don't worry, guys. We'll get the shack back somehow."
Wendy suddenly appeared next to them on her bike. "We better."
"Wendy!"
"If I can't work at the Shack, my dad's gonna force me to move upstate to work at my cousin's logging camp."
Dipper's eyes widened in horror. "What? You're leaving town? But we need you here!"
"Yeah especially Dipper because of his giant crush on-" Dipper glared at Soos. "...you... calyptus trees! Ha! The kid loves eucalyptus trees!" Soos laughed nervously. "Saved it!"
There was a noise from the bushes.
"Oh man, guys. Don't look now." Wendy said, sounding irritated.
Robbie emerged from the bushes holding a boombox. "Take me back, Wendy! My arms are too skinny to keep holding this boombox forever!"
Wendy simply mounted her bike. "I was never here."
And with that she rode away and Robby chased after her. "Have you been getting my texts? Do I need to send you more texts? Wendy!"
Xxx
"This is not good. I cannot feed such a big family." Soos' grandmother said, noticing her home was a lot more crowded than usual.
"Where are we gonna stay, Dipper?" Mabel looked at the suitcase that was full of all her sweaters. "Where am I gonna put all my sweaters?"
"What's Stan gonna tell Mom and Dad?" Dipper wondered.
Soos was more optimistic. "Mr. Pines will figure something out. He always does."
Stan was in the kitchen, on the phone with Dipper and Mabel's parents. "Don't worry, your son and daughter are fine. Where're we staying? Uh, I put 'em up in this amazing four-star hotel!"
A cockroach went up in flames after touching a broken toaster wire.
Stan opened refrigerator. "What, uh, sure we got…"He shook a near empty gallon of milk. "…plenty to eat." He closed the fridge. "Relax, if I thought I couldn't take care of these kids, I'd send them back right away. Uh huh, you too." Finally he put the phone down.
"Grunkle Stan, can we order pizza?" Mabel called out from the living room.
Stan checks his pockets only to discover they were empty and sighed. It was clear to even him that he couldn't look after the kids, no matter what he said.
Xxx
"Wh…Where am I?"
She looked around the strange forest she had woken up in with only a message from her parents.
Our dear Sky, by the time you are awake and found this message you will be on Earth, the very planet your parents were born on. We know this will come as a shock to you since you will awake in a different place, especially after we tell you what has happened. Remember back when we told you stories of Earth and promised to one day bring you there. Well, today is the day we finally fulfill that promise and it wasn't even your birthday.
We're sorry that we're not there with you. The only way to get you to Earth was through a rift that would have let only one of us through. Mommy's trapped because of a monster and Daddy couldn't leave her to become a monster but you had a chance to escape. On Earth you will be safe, allowed to live as a normal girl with many friends and family. Hopefully you will end up in Gravity Falls when you can find Mommy's sister, your Aunt Tambry who can help you find Daddy's mom, brother and grandma next.
Tell them how much we miss them and will never forget them while stuck here. Tambry can show you all the fancy electronics in the world, Grandma Gilligan, that's Daddy's mom can show you all the fancy air machines in the world and if Great Grandma is still alive she can show you how to take down anyone mean enough to pick on you.
Love you, our little Sky.
Your Parents
Sky sniffed as she brought the note to her chest upon reading all of it and the reality of it all sank in. "Mommy…Daddy…"
She'd never see her parents again.
She was alone on this strange world they told her about as a very little girl.
Looking at the note again she stood up, walking around the woods and having no clue where to go.
She needed to get help.
She needed to find someone.
Anyone.
"Help me!" Sky wailed, running into the woods and coming out onto a road where a police car was waiting.
Xxx
"Go red car!"
"Go other red car!"
"This would be a lot more fun with batteries."
Soos moved the red car then it bumped the other red car out of its place.
In the meantime Stan walked into the room and cleared his throat to get the kids' attention, halting their little game. "Kids, we've got to talk. Look I've been thinking and... I can't take care of you anymore. I don't have house or a job. The plan is, you're goin' home. Your bus leaves tomorrow, here are your tickets."
"But Grunkle Stan, you can't give up!" Dipper cried.
"Yeah dude, look at these faces!" Soos began nudging Mabel who had a pleading look on her face. "Be cuter Mabel! Your summer depends on it!"
"Look, I lost, okay? The best thing is for you to be with your parents. Sorry kids, Gideon won." He placed Dipper and Mabel's bus tickets on the table. "Summer's over."
"Mr. Pines! RECONSIDER!" Soos cried, running after his boss.
"Mabel, that's enough. If Stan won't get our home back from Gideon, then we'll have to do it ourselves." Dipper said, refusing to accept defeat. "Gideon may have the upper hand, but we have something he doesn't." He held out his journal. "The journal!"
Mabel was holding out grappling hook; speaking simultaneously with her brother. "A grappling hoo- oh. The Journal... Journal!"

"It seems the key to starting the machine is a complex algorithm." A human wearing an orange T-shirt and purple shorts with black said, staring at the computer. "Problem is we only have three quarters of the algorithm."
"Perhaps we can decode the algorithm ourselves." A boy with red hair, glasses and wearing a lab coat held up a miniature computer. "And what is that?"
The other boy picked up a small container and opened it. "These were the main power sources for the field to keep the portal stable before the owner was able to lock onto the source between realities."
The glasses wearing boy looked over the Dust crystals inside. "Shadow Mass and Hydrogen Dust? These are the highest forms of illegal Dust on the planet."
"I know." The other boy nodded. "However it seemed they were only type of Dust that could power the machine at the time."
"…I suppose this can be overlooked then." The glasses wearing boy said. "I can try and decode the algorithm."

"Hm?" Dexter looked at his computer as it began to emit a strange pulse. "What is this? What is-AAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
From the main computer he attempting to hack came a surge of energy that knocked Double D and Dexter down. Double D let out a scream of pain as his hair started to burn away, leaving behind the scars from the original accident that had been healed by Bill.
Preston Northwest narrowed his eyes as he realized what was happening. "Pines, you never stop interfering."
His Aura flared, protecting him from the pulse while everyone else was knocked down. Still, he needed to get the portal working.
