Opening File: A Wizard/Witch's Staff
A Wizard or Witch is a being capable of harnessing the energy used for magic which flows throughout the universe. The status of rank for these people is divided between Master(someone who has attained great knowledge of the inner workings of magic) and Apprentice(someone who is learning the magical arts.) When an apprentice graduates to Master level ranks they are gifted with a staff, formed from their own magical energy that can allow them to channel the arcane energies of the universe. A staff is a sign of respect amongst them.

"Uh…."
He wasn't sure how long he had been unconscious.
The last thing he remembered was…
"Caileag Crom... Oir is mise an fhuil-fhigheadair (Hail Crom... For I am the Harvester of Blood!)"
"You are not meant to think! You are Harvester of Crom, one of the four elite generals in Crom's army! You are not meant to think, you are meant to obey!" Crom raged as he marched over and grabbed the Harvester of Blood by the head, lifting him off the ground. "You are a tiny spirit in a suit of armor and your scent is similar to the girl. Crom has a rule of picking his Harvesters! They never indulge in personal affairs when serving Crom. You picked this girl for a reason other than Crom's orders!"
"Please, I-" The Harvester of Blood begged but Crom wasn't listening.
"You are not worthy of the honor of being Crom's general." Crom said, grabbing the sickles. "Crom takes back what was offered to you."
As soon as the sickles left his hand the Harvester of Blood's armor shrank down and vanished, leaving only a tiny small green glowing ghost that was left curled up on the floor.
"Disgusting. What a mess and all because you couldn't remember who is in charge." Crom said, holding the trembling form of Skulker in his hand. "A pity."
With a flash of light Skulker was sucked into Crom's neck, screaming as he vanished.
He last remembered being sucked into that lantern and then…A great light that freed him and he blacked out after that.
"Please don't move."
He looked up, staring into the crystal blue eyes of a little girl. She placed a warm cloth over him like a blanket while he was lying down onto another one acting as a bed.
"You have a bad fever." The girl said, softly placing her finger on his head. "You need to get plenty of rest."
"Where…am I?" The small green glowing ghost whispered in a squewky voice.
"My room. I am Robin." The girl introduced with a soft smile. "I found you in the water nearby. You were hurt."
The small ghost groaned as he tried to sit up. "I feel…so weak."
"Try not to move." Robin said soothingly. "You must rest first. Do you have a name?"
"Sku…Skulker."

"Mr. Lowemon."
The Warrior of Darkness perked up at the sound of his voice and turned around to see the mayor of GrimmFall at the door to the room Agunimon was resting in. "Mayor Sebben."
Kazemon was sitting next to Agunimon's bed, holding his hand as she looked up to see the mayor but remained quiet and actually blushed a bit. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that instead of his usual black suit Sebben was wearing a black tank top and running shorts that showed his muscular form that was usually kept hidden by the suit.
"Sorry if I am interrupting. I heard about his injury in the fight and wanted to check in on his condition." Sebben stated as he stepped in. "That was more than I expected."
"Yeah…Who was that man?" Lowemon questioned.
"His name is Mars Polemarchos, a former Russian soldier. A good soldier but after he lost his daughter in a Saytra attack he was…damaged. His methods become too extreme and was discharged from the army. We're not sure how but he stole the latest Russian exo-skeleton that was part of the latest military project and a powerful object that made him very powerful." Sebben explained. "I almost believe powerful enough he could have been a threat to everyone if he hadn't been stopped."
Lowemon nodded. "He was powerful enough for us…I still have trouble seeing how some people, even humans can become powerful enough to go toe to toe with us. It's been…off putting no matter how much we try to get used to it."
"That was part of the reason I suggested the sparring matches earlier. To get you and the other visitors to our world used to fighting against people as skilled and deadly as us. On the bright side you helped save a great many people from a life of misery. That should be something to take pride in." Sebben remarked. "I am guessing not a lot of humans are capable of challenging a Digimon from where you are from."
"Not really." Lowemon shook his head. "And the few times someone did it ended badly. The military of our world would be like flees to an Ultimate or Mega level Digimon. Here, one soldier, albeit an enhanced one went up against the three of us with the others. That's something we've never seen before."
"We've had to advance a great deal in this world against the Grimm and other powerful forces as you've seen as when you all encountered Crom Cruach." Sebben said, reminding of them of the fight against the evil god not too long ago. "Still, it is a bit of a comfort to know we are capable of rivaling even a Mega Level Digimon if pushed to it, especially in light of recent events."
"What do you mean?" Kazemon asked from Agunimon's bed side. "Did something happen?"
"You weren't told this because we are all distracted by everything that has happened up until now but the Digimon Omnimon, better known as the Grimm Slayer here encountered another Digimon in Chicago by the name of Myotismon." Sebben answered.
This caused Lowemon and Kazemon's eyes to widen in shock. "What?!"
The sound of their voices caused Agunimon to wake up. "Wha-What's going on?"
Berating herself for waking him up Kazemon quickly pushed the Warrior of Fire back down and quickly explained what they had learned.
"Seriously?! A Myotismon?!" Agunimon gaped. "This was how long ago?"
"About a week before Omnimon's mission to rescue the Elementals. He was working with Miss Shannon Blake and Donatello in investigating several attacks in Chicago and they found it to be the work of a vampire Omnimon identified as a Myotismon. They stopped him but he still escaped." Sebben answered. "And as far as we can tell he has no connection to Van Kleiss who brought you and the others here which leads us to a rather distressing theory. It's possible that the tampering by Van Kleiss has left for the lack of a better word scars through the spaces in between universes and dimensions. The consultants I spoke with on the matter believe that the constant tampering could create scars in the fabric of space and time and could easily destroy this…or any of the other universes affected."
This stunned the three Legendary Warriors.
"Then…Then that means…" Agunimon started but his sentence was finished by Lowemon.
"Even if we find the way home we could risk dooming our worlds." Lowemon said sadly.
"This is only a theory and they believe it's possible the scars will heal over time. Bear in mind I do not say this to discourage you but because you deserve to hear the truth after all you've been through. We hope that when Van Kleiss is captured and his machine confiscated we can try to create a stable door way between our worlds. However the healing process with scars in the universe can be various." Sebben continued. "It can take a few seconds or a few thousand years. Even though those scars at most will take several years to heal, the scientists I spoke with on the matter say it will take a few days to heal and that is without accounting the possibility of Van Kleiss opening a portal to any more universes. In conclusion I can only say traveling between universes can be unpredictable."
This was concerning but the three Warriors knew getting back wasn't going to be easy.
"What about that Gem of Bond?" Lowemon asked, remembering the previous conversation they had with Sebben.
"Luckily the Gem of Bond offers a safe and stable path between universes. It's wielder is currently off world and will be away for a while, taking the time to master his new powers. That may keep him from helping but it also keeps him away from danger, especially the kind that would want the gem." Sebben answered. "And…we have another problem. A street camera caught sight of Jimmy leaving the Hall of Heroes and he was not alone. We might have found his collaborator."
When he showed it to the three Legendary Warriors, their eyes widened in alarm as they immediately knew what...or who it was.
"DemiDevimon!" The three exclaimed, with Agunimon nearly jumping out of the bed.
"You know this creature?" Sebben lowered the picture. "Is it another Digimon?"
"An evil one." Lowemon answered, narrowing his eyes. "It's a Rookie level Digimon so its weak but also cunning and devious. So it helped Jimmy?"
"And was likely responsible for the sabotage in the security of the Hall of Heroes and helped Jimmy get his hands on the knife he used on Agunimon." Sebben put the picture away. "I fear this a sign that those dimensional scars I mentioned are causing other Digimon to enter our world and if this DemiDevimon is as bad as you say, Jimmy might end up being just the start of our problems."
The three shared a look, realizing that Sebben was right. Who knows how many Digimon might show up out of nowhere and risk causing trouble.
"I am sorry to burden you with more trouble. Seems I am only good for delivering bad news these days." Sebben chuckled a bit. "Still, I have hope we can make it through this. Now, I've wasted enough of your time. I am going to do a bit of jogging while I still have a bit of a break."
Just he turned to the door, Kazemon spoke up. "Mr. Sebben…I'd like to apologize for how I acted before… It wasn't fair to you after you tried so hard to help us get home."
Sebben turned back and offered a small smile. "It's all right. I understand how difficult it has been for all of you. Rest assured, we will do everything in our power to help you get back home. Until then I hope you will consider us friends to you in these troubling times."
With that said Sebben left the room, starting a light jog out of the building and into the park. He had some new guests to welcome.

"Mama! Dani's bed is freezing!"
Indeed it was.
Danielle's body temperature had gone down so rapidly that ice was forming along her bed. Genki quickly had Sayoko fill the bathtub in Danielle's bathroom with hot water but knowing that warm water alone would not be enough she ordered for a single shard Fire Dust to be placed in the water. Normally that would be insane as Fire Dust could heat water enough that it would burn a person's skin off but when Sayoko used her Semblance to place Danielle, since touching her was out of the question, in the water she not only survived but her icy form caused steam to form. The cold temperature from Danielle's body allowed her to handle the hot water while the Fire Dust shard prevented her from spreading anymore ice.
Still it wasn't very comfortable for the poor ghost girl.
She was shivering and had to stay submerged up to her neck in the water to have any sort of feeling other than the cold numbness she had started experiencing.
And it didn't help all the steam was making her sweat like a pig and caused the ice forming in her hair to melt down her face.
"How is she?" Genki asked as she stepped into the bathroom.
Kuki and Mushi were trying to comfort Danielle as best as they could, washing her hair when ice was forming and scrubbing her back with gloves over their hands to protect themselves from the cold.
"The Fire Dust is keeping the ice from spreading but her body temperature is still going down. If not for her…unique status I'd fear she would not be able to survive." The family doctor answered. "Her heart beat is slightly slower than normal but still beating despite the cold. Still, the fact that her body is generating extreme levels of cold to produce ice is proof that it's surviving at below freezing temperature. That is an extraordinary feat."
"But is there a cure?" Genki questioned.
"Nothing that ordinary medical science can cure, I am afraid. The best advice I can give is that we would need someone with an ice based Semblance to help train her how to control this strange new power. A False Ice Elemental." The doctor suggested.
Genki frowned as she considered the advice. False Elementals were people with Semblances matching that of the Elementals themselves and controlling the natural elements of nature itself such as water, wind and even lightning or wood.
But there is one person she knows of that has an Ice Semblance.
"Please try and look after her as best as you can. I have some calls to make." Genki said, quickly leaving the room.
Xxx
"She needs the help of someone with an Ice based Semblance. There is only one person I know of that might be able to help."
Sensei Splinter looked surprised for a second before returning to a calm facade as he listened to Genki's tale. "You believe this is the only way?"
"Her powers can be considered similar to Aura and Semblance. The Ectoplasm simply acts as channel for a different kind of energy but it all comes from her core, exactly like Aura." Genki reasoned.
"It is not unheard of to have difficulty controlling a Semblance as you have described." Splinter admitted. "However are you sure this is the best way."
"You believe she would not help?"
"Actually, I believe she would not hesitate to help. You may not know this but she was one of the children young Danielle helped save during the Golden Castle Crisis." Splinter answered.
"She was there?" Genki was not expecting to hear that. "I admit we were all distracted and there was a great many of us there but I had not expected her to be as one of the hostages."
"Yes and she kept herself silent to avoid attention. Still she admitted to feeling gratitude for Danielle's efforts and I daresay a small part of her actually idolizes Danielle for her heroics." Splinter admitted with a small smile. "I am sure she would be willing to help."
"I just hope she can, Sensei." Genki said with a worried look on her face. "It's not easy to see Danielle in her condition."
"I will see what we can do." Splinter said before ending the call and tapping the intercom. "Can Frosta please report to my office, please?"
A few moments later the door opened. "You wanted to see me, Sensei?"
It was a girl around twelve years of age with a short cobalt blue bob cut, blunt bangs and two strands of hair that hang in front of her ears. She had almond-shaped black eyes and blue triangular eyebrows. She wore a school uniform representing the elementary part of Yamanouchi Academy she was currently attending and also being the summer version, consisting of a white half sleeved shirt with a blue neckerchief and a blue pleated skirt. She wore white socks with black Mary Jane shoes on her feet and a white sailor cap with a blue trim on her head.
"Yes, Frosta." Splinter nodded with a kind smile. "Tell me, do you remember Dani Phantom?"

"So you escaped the moon and caught Jasper?"
Peridot didn't know if she sound relieved or frightened that the Crystal Gems had captured Jasper of all Gems but remained silent as Steven nodded and explained. "Yeah. Jasper somehow got her hands on some strange powers and it was right after she took control of Malachite when Lapis was getting tired from fighting her."
"Just being on a ship with Jasper made me tired." Peridot muttered as the she, Steven and Connie waited outside Steven's house. "So what are we waiting for? Aren't we still going to drill to the center of the Earth to stop the Cluster?"
"We will. We're just waiting for our ride." Steven answered.
Before Peridot could ask what he meant there was golden flash, followed by a trail of dust that stopped right in front of them.
"Good day, everyone." Living Bullet greeted with a smile. "Fancy a ride to GrimmFall?"

"Good to be home."
Nazz fell face first onto her bed, taking in a deep breath as a relaxed smile spread across her face. She was so relieved to be back home after a crazy adventure but she liked to think it wasn't all bad. She had gone to an alien world, temporarily gained super powers and watched a series of fights in the Hall of Heroes itself! These events, combined with the knowledge of what danger lurked out there would only further cement her wish to become a Huntress, at least for protecting her friends and family.
Now if she could only find a way to reconnect with her parents who only briefly spoken to her on her return.
And by briefly spoken she meant that they had tried to talk her out of training as a Huntress under her grandmother again.
Nazz shook her head and sighed. 'Parents…'
Just as she was about to nod off to sleep there was a beeping sound. Nazz's eyes shot open as she sat up and lifted the hair covering her left ear, seeing the earing she had been given during her time in the Special Zone was beeping.
"That's odd, I thought I got rid of this-" Nazz moved to take it off but the earring emitted a series of beeps in a strange pattern.
Nazz's eyes widened before glassing over as she tapped the earring once. "NA-ZZ reporting in."
The earring then emitted a holographic projection, showing Yellow Technique. "Greetings, NA-ZZ. You have returned to Earth, I trust?"
"Yes." Nazz nodded robotically.
"Very well. I want a full debrief and the current locations of the Elementals and their Pearls."

ZAP!
"Yee-haw!"
ZAP!
"Johnny, take this seriously!" Bunny Bravo scolded her oaf of a son.
Johnny Bravo was currently in the middle of a training field set up by Bunny and Rossweisse, learning how to wield his powers.
Currently he blasted all of the targets with lightning with very little effort.
"I am trying, Mama but it's too easy. I think I put more effort into taking a nap in the middle of the night." Johnny said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Be that as it may you have to try and take this seriously. You're the new God of Thunder so you have to show some shred of sense." Bunny said. "Otherwise what would have been the point of being able to pick up that hammer?"
"I thought I was plenty serious. I mean, it let me pick it up right?" Johnny asked, actually scratching his head with Mjolnir.
"It's a little more complicated than that." Rossweisse stated. "The enchantment decides who is worthy to wield Mjolnir boils down to the oaths one would take when becoming King of Asgard." She held up one finger. "The first oath would be protect the nine realms, including your world which is Midgard."
A second finger rose up.
"The second is to preserve the peace."
The third and last one was next.
"And finally the third oath is to cast aside all selfish ambition and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realm." Rossweisse finished. "The first two are easy to while the third is the most difficult as deep down almost everyone is selfish in some level."
"But not me?" Johnny asked.
"Well, do you have an ambition or something you want very badly at the expense of others?"
"Well let's see…" Johnny said as he thought real hard as to what he wanted.
A fancy car.
Bikini Babes magazine.
Being filthy rich.
Bikini Babes magazine.
Keeping himself in perfect shape for any hot chicks.
Especially the ones in Bikini Babes magazine.
What was he thinking about again?
Was it wanting something for Christmas?
"None that really come to mind. It's still the middle of summer." Johnny thought out loud a second later, completely forgetting what he was thinking about. "What was the question?"
"Right, you can't have selfish ambitions because you can never remember any of them." Bunny shook her head. "Well, that is one good thing you have going for you, Johnny. Hopefully you can become a decent and completely good person down the road."
"I'll try, Mama." Johnny gave her a thumbs up.
"Well, about that." Rossweisse cleared her throat. "The next mission Odin assigned you is similar to the one from before, tracking down a lava monster and defeating it."
"Aw man, again. Wouldn't searching for lost treasure be easier?" Johnny groaned.
"This one lies down in the center of the Earth and is a powerful threat to the entire world." Rossweisse conjured the image of the Earth with a red light in the center. "As the God of Thunder you are being charged with protecting this world."
"So how do I get down there? Should I just start digging?" Johnny asked.
"You have Mjolnir with you now. If you can build up enough power by constantly spinning it before aiming it down to the ground you will be able to tunnel your way to the center of the Earth. And as the reincarnation of a God you can survive the heat from the Earth's core and by focusing your magically enhanced Aura you can survive contact with the magma." Rossweisse explained.
"You mean I can swim in actual lava and not get burnt?!" Johnny excitedly asked before getting whacked on the head by his mother. "Ow!"
"Focus, Johnny! You are helping to save the world." Bunny scolded. "And no swimming in lava without putting on sunscreen!"
"Yes, Mama." Johnny rubbed his head.
Rossweisse took a deep breath. "This is important, Johnny. This monster is part of an ancient weapon left behind by one of Asgard's oldest enemies. If it hatches the Earth itself will be destroyed."
"All right, all right. I get it. End of the world." Johnny held up his hands in a surrender gesture. "So how do we start?"
"By finding the biggest cliff we can find."
"Say what now?"
Xxx
"I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I usually come prepared. So why not let me demonstrate why going against me is a bad idea? Valerie, my dear, care to step in?"
Valerie stepped forward, cracking her fists and her neck.
Grodd wasn't sure what to expect from the young woman in the high-tech armor. His pride refused to allow him to be intimidated by a human of all things and he had no intention of allowing this Van Kleiss to bully him and the remains of his Secret Society into serving him.
And he wasn't the only one to have such thoughts.
"I've heard enough!" Rampage shouted as she charged straight at Valerie.
(Slingshot by Trocadero Starts to Play)
Just as she swung out her fist Valerie dodged and caught her with a fist to the back, knocking her down. Growling Rampage got back up and spun around, throwing powerful jabs at Valerie who skillfully dodged and blocked. She then knocked Rampage back with an open palm strike to the chin, grabbing her head and pulled it down to her knee and finished with a kick that knocked Rampage back a few feet.
"We're so dead…Again." Copperhead groaned as Valerie turned to face them.
In the meantime Piedmon got up, growling at Bell who stoically stared back. "Think you can make a fool out of me, do you? Trump Sword!"
All of his swords teleported from his back and shot straight at Bell who calmly held out her hand, firing a blast of white energy that knocked the swords back.
"Clown Trick!" An orb of energy shot from Piedmon's hands, colliding with Bell's energy blast, canceling both of them out.
Bell shot forward, aiming a punch at Piedmon's face but the Dark Master parried the punch with a sword. He felt the strength in Bell's fist against his sword, causing his arm to tremble. 'How can this little girl be so strong?'
He lashed out with a kick but Bell easily blocked with one arm that then grabbed the foot before she started spinning.
"GAH!" Piedmon shouted as he was lifted off his feet and spun around several times before Bell let go, watching as he flew across the chamber and into another wall. "Why you-"
Piedmon had to quickly dodge as Bell shot at him like a speeding missile, barley dodging the fist that left a giant hole in the wall. He tried to throw a cloth at her, intending to turn her into a keychain but Bell's eyes glowed, releasing twin beams of light that burned through the cloth and hit Piedmon head on, scorching his chest.
"GAH!" Piedmon staggered back, a hand covering his burnt chest. "You are not human…No human girl is capable of holding such power."
"I am Bell." The girl said monotonously. "And I will destroy anyone who threatens my father."
Van Kleiss grinned to himself, pleased with Bell's performance. In addition to the powers he had given her thanks to A.M.A.Z.O. he had also seen fit to download every known fighting style into Bell's mind, allowing her to instantly call on any move needed to take down any opponent. Combined with her super powers it gave Bell a massive advantage, even against a Mega Level Digimon. It also helped he downloaded Piedmon's information into her mind so she instantly knew all of his tricks and he had no clue.
Piedmon gritted his teeth. "It doesn't matter what you are. No one makes a fool of me! Clown Trick!"
Bell dodged the incoming energy sphere and shot forward, delivering a powerful punch to Piedmon's face, sending him crashing into the wall again. She then grabbed him by the neck and slammed him face first into the ground.
In the meantime Rampage, Goldface and Blockbuster all rushed at Valerie…
Only to be knocked seconds later.
Rampage got back up and attacked only for Valerie to dodge her blows and follow up with three short hits, knocking her down before doing the same to Goldface and Blockbuster. Rampage got back up and charged at Valerie, engaging in another fist fight. Valerie then swung Rampage over her head and kicked him towards Goldface, knocking them both down.
"Oh man…" Copperhead stepped back, feeling very afraid now.
"She's good." Shade commented, suddenly getting the idea that going against this woman would be a very bad idea.
"She's only one woman." Grodd said, refusing to back down. "Watch."
With that Grodd charged at the woman, rearing one fist and threw it forward with enough strength it would shatter her skull…
And the woman easily caught his fist.
Grodd's eyes widened in complete shock at a human not only taking a hit but holding against his superior strength. "What?!"
Valerie clenched down on the fist, causing Grodd to grunt in pain and felt the full weight of his body being pushed back as Valerie stepped forward.
"I suppose I should mention her armor was programmed with a special function allowing for super strength, even against a gorilla." Van Kleiss stated confidently. "But why take my word for it when she can show you? Valerie?"
The armored woman granted his request by delivering a powerful blow to Grodd's stomach, powerful enough to make the hyper intelligent gorilla puke as he staggered back. He was only conscious for a few seconds before he fell back. The remaining members of Grodd's faction stared at the woman in shock and fear, seeing how easily she took down Grodd plus three of their strongest members.
"So, any other takers?" Van Kleiss asked.
"Please allow me!"
Valerie spun around, watching as a pumpkin shaped bomb was thrown at her…
BOOM!
The Green Goblin cackled from his glider. "Super Strength means nothing if you have a bomb exploding in your face!"
However Van Kleiss still kept his smile, knowing that the fight was far from over.
And everyone else knew that when the smoke cleared, showing Valerie with a domed energy shield surrounding her.
"What?!" The Green Goblin exclaimed.
Valerie stood up as the shield vanished…And so did she a second later.
The Green Goblin looked around, trying to figure out where the woman would appear next. It was only after did he hear a noise did he spot her…
Right underneath him.
Valerie had activated her suit's own glider and slammed into the Goblin's, knocking him off his glider and leaving him to fall to the ground.
"Super Strength, Domed Energy Shield and Camouflage." Van Kleiss listed. "You will find I might have gone a little…overboard with her…" He chuckled at the pun he had just made. "I guess I was going for both quality and quantity in this case."
"Typical humans." Vexus stepped forward, aiming and then firing dozens of missiles at Valerie.
At first it seemed they were going to hit but unknown to everyone except Valerie the missiles suddenly stopped in front of her, freezing completely. She then grabbed them, turning them around and once the Time Displacement wore off, watched as the missiles flew right back at their origin.
"What?!" The former Queen of the Cluster shouted in pure shock as her own missiles flew back at her.
She barely had the time to dodge, rocketing out of the way before they blasted the ground where she had been. Valerie quickly fired an ecto-blaster that hit Vexus head on, severely damaging her.
"Why you-" Vexus tried another barrage of missiles but Valerie surprised her again by going super fast, dodging all of the missiles as she ran at the former queen.
Before Vexus could react Valerie slugged her in the face and then jumped up, grabbing her by the chin and actually managed to crack the robot's back over her shoulders. As she landed she threw Vexus up and then kicked her away, sending her crashing onto the ground in front of the remaining members of the Legion of Doom who were now all hesitant to fight her or Bell.
(Slingshot by Trocadero Starts Ends)
"Now then, how about we talk now?" Van Kleiss asked, his smile still present. "Or would you all like one last demonstration?"
Suddenly the floor in the middle of the room opened up, allowing everyone to see the room below…and the giant flaming two headed monster that roared upon seeing them.
"Trust me. The show has yet to start."
Xxx
"Finally, we're back."
Miss Spell and Phan-Tone stopped at the sign saying 'Welcome to Gravity Falls'.
"I just hope we're not too late."
"About that…"
Both heroes stiffened and readied themselves as Blind Ivan stepped out of the shadows with a menacing grin on his face.
"I'm afraid here is where the both of you will be meeting your end at the ends of the great one's most powerful disciple." Ivan said as his eyes morphed to resemble Bill Cipher's.
Miss Spell and Phan-Tone prepared themselves to face the final member of the Blind Eye Society.
"How I have waited for this day." Ivan cast aside his crimson robe, revealing the black body suit he wore underneath. "Killing the two of you and bringing your corpses to my lord will fill me with great joy."
Phan-Tone and Miss Spell said nothing, deciding not to waste their time talking to a lunatic.
"Now…" Ivan's grin widened. "Please die screaming!"
(One Hundred Percent by Brandon Yates Starts to Play)
With that he shot forward, moving as fast as lightning as he somersaulted towards the two heroes. Miss Spell and Phan-Tone jumped to either side, dodging the first strike from Blind Ivan and moved to attack him while he had seemingly left himself open. Holding his hand, he used his powers to collect dust from the ground and launched it at the two heroes. Phan-Tone let out a single hum before turning transparent and sinking into the ground while Miss Spell conjured a red glowing barrier to block the attack aimed at her.
Lowering the barrier Miss Spell then lashed out with her powers, mimicking the force of gravity itself that slammed down on Blind Ivan who quickly conjured a yellow glowing barrier to protect himself with great stain.
Leaving him open to attack from below.
Phan-Tone came out of the ground from underneath, punching Blind Ivan through several trees and Miss Spell slammed him down into the ground. Phan-Tone then grabbed Ivan and flew up into the air, clutching his collar.
"What is your connection to Bill Cipher?" The music themed hero asked.
Ivan simply grinned. "He is our god."
"Not even close." Miss Spell retorted, hovering behind her husband.
Ivan attempted to blast Phan-Tone at close range but the hero turned intangible, dropping the leader of the Blind Eye Society. Miss Spell then used her powers to slam Ivan into the ground again.
"He's powerful." Phan-Tone stated, staring down at the crater formed from Ivan's impact. "Even for someone enhanced by Bill Cipher."
"I know…I feel like I can sense…not one but multiple Aura from him." Miss Spell muttered, her eyes widening as she spoke. "Oh Glob he didn't…"
Down below Ivan got up to his feet, his yellow Aura flaring around him while his eyes morphed to resemble the eye of Bill Cipher.
He held out an open palm to the heroes. "Yes he did."
Both Miss Spell and Phan-Tone were caught off guard as a powerful force grabbed them and sent them plummeting down into the ground in front of Ivan. After being slammed into the ground Ivan pulled them up and punched them both into the air. He shot off into pursuit, catching up the two heroes instantly before slamming their heads together. He then kicked Phan-Tone away and turned to Miss Spell, wasting no time slamming and smashing her body into the ground multiple times.
He was about to finish her off with enough force to splatter her remains across the land when Miss Spell's eyes flared and she conjured a magical barrier, blasting him off. Ivan was knocked down but far from out as he fired streams of his power at Spell but she effortlessly dodged them, catching them with her power and sending right back to their owner. Ivan countered by conjuring another barrier and jumped back as Phan-Tone attempted another sneak attack from below.
"Nice try!" Ivan laughed madly as the tattoos on his skull started to spread. "Finally I can show my true power!"
His eyes glowed yellow with the pupils turning into red slits. His tattoos seemed to becoming actual blood, spreading all over his body. Then to the shock of Miss Spell and Phan-Tone Blind Ivan began to literally melt before their eyes into a puddle of red goo until there was nothing but a red blob left. The blob was still for a moment until it began to move and change, slowly taking shape.
It took the form of a red humanoid with dark red skin, clawed hands and toes. The head was bald and large and had no nose but still had two nostrils in the red gooey flesh. A mouth appeared with two large fangs protruding from it while the eyes had yellow sclera with red slit pupils and no irises.
"Body of Cipher." The new creature whispered with a demented grin.
From his body came multiple tendrils that shot out at the two heroes who hastily dodged.
"The Great One saw fit to not only change me like he did the others but I am special case." Ivan said as his arms changed into mantis like claws and his legs split into six crab like legs. "The Body of Cipher blesses me with not one form but thousands of them!"
Insect wings sprouted from his back and he shot up at the heroes, madly cackling all the way. "NOW TASTE MY GOD'S VENGEANCE!"
Phan-Tone hummed a tone, glowing grey as he fell at Ivan, firing an energy blast that actually burned through the demon's body…
Only for the body to instantly regenerate.
Ivan laughed as he slashed at Phan-Tone but the hero luckily turned intangible and avoided getting skewered. "I TOLD YOU! I DON'T HAVE ONE BODY ANYMORE! I HAVE THOUSANDS TO KEEP ME ALIVE! NOT THAT IT MATTERS AS EVEN IF YOU DO KILL ME MY SOUL WILL JUST ATTACH ITSELF TO ANOTHER HOST!"
Miss Spell's eyes widened when she heard that little bit of information. 'Cipher…He took a soul and modified it to attach itself to new hosts whenever the previous host died.'
If that was the case she could not hold back.
There was only way to stop such a monster.
Miss Spell held up her hand and there was flash of bright crimson light. Ivan had to cover his eyes for a second, wating for the light to fade. When he lowered his hands he watched as Miss Spell hovered before him, holding a staff.
The staff was made of pink colored metal with red trimmings and a red ruby gemstone embedded at the top.
"Behold, my staff." Miss Spell stated as she twirled her new weapon in one hand. "A sign of respect between people of magic and a sign that we have attained mastery of our powers. Since you would simply reincarnate again if we destroy your body I have no choice…But to banish you from this world!"

"Good luck, Pine twins!"
As soon as she vanished a black mist emerged from the remains of the wind mill.
"Oh dear." Muriel put down her cup of tea.
"This is where they get ya." Eustace said, not even blinking to the madness happening in front of him.
From ground, four skeletal hands sprouted from the ground.
"Dipper…" Mabel clutched her brother, looking very scared.
First came the hand, then a arm and then an entire body…With a skeletal horse underneath.
Skeletons with glowing red eyes, dressed in Viking armor and carried their own unique weapons.
Axe Vandal
Double-Headed Axe Vandal
Flail Vandal
And a Sword Vandal
All of them looking very real.
And very scary.
"Those cannot be real." Double D muttered.
They are real.
"But they are skeletons! They are dead! The dead come back to life!" The sock headed genius exclaimed.
They just did.
"You'd be surprised." Eustace muttered, pulling out his two tomahawks. "People die and come back from the dead all the time around here."
"They do it around our Grunkle Stan's place too!" Mabel quickly said.
"That's not possible!" Double D grabbed his own head. "People don't die and come back from the dead! That's not scientifically possible!"
You traveled to another dimension with scissors just the other day.
"Yeah, you'd think that…" Dipper muttered.
The four horseman raised their weapons and charged…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dipper and Mabel screamed, clutching each other while Armatae covered Double D in its armor mode.
Eustace held up his tomahawks.
Muriel got her frying pan.
Courage got ready to scream.
Right past them.
"Uh….." Dipper slowly turned around. "They aren't trying to kill us."
"That's good right." Mabel opened one eye.
"Yeah…" Dipper slowly nodded. "But why aren't they trying to kill us?"

"Betty are you all right?!"
Simon knelt by his wife, seeing her right arm turn red with claws.
"Si…Simon?" Betty Petrikov was trembling as she looked at her now red red with half of her face turning red next. "What's happening?"
Simon gasped in fright. "Oh my Betty."
