"Look, Dani! There it is!"
Danielle followed Kuki's finger to the golden colored Rainbow Monkey in the Prize Grabber machine. "Is that it?"
"Yeah!" Kuki grinned eagerly. "And if we get it do you know what that'll mean?"
"Another one to add to your collection?" This rhetorical question came from none other than Frosta, wearing a dark blue sweater and light blue skirt.
After the experience with the Ice Queen, Danielle had been declared fit to return to the Sanban Estate with Frosta believing she had completely mastered her powers. Of course this meant that Frosta would have to return to Yamanouchi Academy now at her 'assignment' had been completed. She and Danielle made an agreement with stay in touch with each other and perhaps meet outside the Academy since they were now 'honorary' family. Danielle was especially happy to try and help Frosta break out of her shell by helping her to interact with other people instead of just focusing on revenge.
"Not just that one but whoever wins it gets a free tour of the Rainbow Monkey Corporation!" Mushi answered with a big smile.
The other girl with them, Miku sighed. "I thought we were going to have some fun."
"We are. This is an arcade." Kuki gestured to the big arcade they had entered. "So many games to play but that Golden Rainbow Monkey is the ultimate prize."
Danielle sighed as she walked up to the Prize Grabber machine. "Of course it is."
"Are they always like this?" Frosta asked tiredly.
"You mean acting like a pair of fruit loops over these Rainbow Monkeys? Yep." Danielle sighed and nodded.
Kuki and Mushi gasped. "Fruit loops?!"
Kuki then suddenly grabbed Danielle by the shoulders and started shaking her madly. "We're not fruit loops, Dani! Don't you understand the beauty and cheerfulness of the Rainbow Monkeys?!"
Danielle couldn't answer as Kuki was shaking her so bad her eyes were literally spinning. At this point Miku and Frosta were beyond embarrassed to be seen next to Kuki as she continued shaking Danielle back and forth, eventually leaning her against the prize grabber.
"Can you not see it?! The once in a life time opportunity to see the heart of the people who make the Rainbow Monkeys, bringing all that is good and joyful in the entire world?!" Kuki asked, continuing to shake Danielle.
As she was being shaken, Danielle's hand fell on the controllers, operating the prize grabber as it reached down and grabbed onto something. The claw lifted itself up, showing the…
"The Golden Rainbow Monkey!" Mushi shouted and pointed at the prize.
Kuki stopped shaking Danielle and gasped in pure shock before she then pulled the dazed ghost girl into a very tight hug. "WE WON THE GOLDEN MONKEY!"
Danielle gasped, feeling her air supply being cut off as she fell onto the floor. By this point, Miku and Frosta were beyond embarrassed.
"Didn't Danielle win the prize?" Frosta asked, feeling a headache coming. "It was her hand on the controls."
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" Kuki cheered as she kept hugging Danielle.
"Uh…Is that Danielle's ghost half coming out of her nose?" Miku noticed.
Kuki stopped and noticed it as well and then panicked. "Oh no! Go back into Dani, ghosty!"
"Yeah, she needs you to live!" Mushi cried, trying to help push the ghost back up Danielle's nose.
"She might live if you let her go so she can breathe!" Frosta exclaimed.

In a red colored desert a train with an endless number of cars drove down the tracks without end.
"Welcome aboard new passengers! I am your conductors, One-One!"
A strange figure stood atop the train, next to a boy dressed in black with purple hair tied in a pony tail.
"When are done wiping those teary peepers, you'll probably have a lot of questions."
The boy grinned as he nodded the figure beside him.
"Like where am I?"
Sticks twirled a staff in her hands.
"How do I get off?"
Tambry found herself massive computerized room with…walking smart phones and tablets.
"And do you have snacks? We don't have snacks."
Mabel opened her eyes, finding herself in a big farm.
"On this train you will get to solve your problems and you will have taken a number."
Frida and Zoe held up their hands, showing glowing numbers on their hands.
"To get off the train you have get it to zero. You become a literal zero like me."
Eddy laughed as a rain of golden coins fell down on him.
"And if you need help, don't be afraid to ask for help from the denizens. Unless they have big claws and nasty pointing teeth."
The strange figure spread its arms out, its body melting into the car.
"And in the far corner we have our champion: the Macho Man!" Eddy announced.
Stan grinned as he cracked his knuckles.
"And remember, you can't spell friendship without 'friends'. Or 'ship'. Or Ship-Friend."
Me-Mow snarled, pulling out a dagger.
"By listening to this recording and watching this trailer you have verbally agreed to absolve the train of any and all possible incidents. Have a nice day…And if you outght to know, I am feeling very depressed about this."

The Mystery Shack now had a sign over 'Mystery,' reading "Mayorly Shack." There were several U.S. flags and 'Vote Stan' signs all over. Waddles was with Wendy, who had written on Waddles' body "SWINES 4 PINES" on one side
"Spread the word, pig!" Wendy said and Waddles ran off.
"Alright everybody, eyes up here!" Dipper opened a rolled paper with a lot of dust coming out. "Okay, Gravity Falls Elections are based on two events. The Wednesday Stump Speech, held on an actual... stump, and the Friday Debate wherein townsfolk throw birdseed at the candidate they like most. At the end, they release a freedom eagle who will fly to the candidate covered in more seed and bestow a birdly kiss upon him anointing him mayor." He then showed everybody the parchment, frowning; while rolling paper. "I couldn't make this up if I wanted to."
That was when the phone rang.
"Okay Grunkle Stan, are you ready for your first radio interview?" Mabel asked.
"I got my mouth, don't I?" Stan asked back.
Mabel held up the phone. "Okay you're on with the candidate."
"You're listening to Falls Radio: 24 hour news and bear rampage alerts, and now here's our new T-Man. The old one disappeared."
"Hello! Candidate Stan first question: How do you feel about the American flag?"
"Meh, I can take it or leave it, too many stripes." Stan shrugged. "Next question."
Xxx
At the Skull Fracture the people listening to the radio broadcast began grunting with doubt.
Xxx
"What would you do to help educate our kids?
"Ha, simple. Put them on an island and make them fight for dominance."
Xxx
A family was listening to the radio as the woman covered her daughter's ears.
"Also teach kids swears. That'll bring them to the real world."
Xxx
Sebben shook his head, listening to the Falls Radio channel. "Stan, either you are on the wrong channel or just plain crazy while running for mayor. I can't decide which is worse."
Xxx
Mabel and Dipper looked at each other worriedly.
"What would you do about the crime in Gravity Falls"?
"Wait, do you mean crime in general or just the specific crimes committed by m-"
The phone line was cut off when Dipper cut it with scissors. "Okay, interview's over. Candy, what's the damage?"
"Your approval ratings started at zero. Now it's a number lower than zero." Candy flipped her laptop around and shows Stan's negative approval ratings.
"You're meme-ing fast, and none of them are good." Wendy showed her phone, which had a meme of Stan on it that said: One does not simply 'teach kids swears'.
"Look Grunkle Stan, people are like smell markers, and you're black licorice! It's not that you're un-sniffable, you just need to learn when to keep the cap on." Mabel said, trying to help Stan get better.
"From now on, maybe you should read our prepared remarks." Dipper held up a folded piece of paper with 'YOUR SPEECH' written on it with drawings by Mabel.
"Heh heh. Sorry kids. I always say words that come out of my brain. If my head says, that lady's got an ugly baby, my mouth says, 'whoa, lady, you got one ugly baby.'"
Dipper and Mabel looked at each other worriedly…

"And he's insisting on speaking his mind!" Dipper said, pacing in the basement as he relayed all that was happening to the one man who might be able to help.
"So this is an emergency." Ford said, knowing how dangerous it was for when Stanley spoke his mind.
"The Stump Speech is in a couple of days, and if he continues like this, we'll lose for sure!" Dipper finished.
"Hmm. It's a shame there isn't some device that will allow you to control someone else. Oh. Wait. Of course, yes. There is." Ford snapped his finger and showed Dipper a striped tie. "A long time ago I designed a prototype for Ronald Reagan's masters. Just get Stan to wear this, and you can make him a literal talking head."
Dipper peered inside the tie. "Whoa! This is amazing! And ethically ambiguous!"
Ford took out another tie that is darker. "As long as you wear the matching one, he'll say and do whatever you want him to."
Dipper held up both ties. "Thank you Great Uncle Ford!"
"Yes, yes. Use it responsibly and all." Ford said simply as Dipper ran off.
Xxx
"Whoa, thanks for the slamming tie, dudes! These stripes are so slimming!" Soos put on the tie.
Mabel turned to Dipper. "You really think this mind-controlling tie is gonna work?"
Dipper took out other tie. "Flip the switch and test it out!"
Mabel put it on and flipped the switch.
Immediately Mabel and Soos singing and dancing with Soos matching Mabel's movements. "Oh-oh-oh! I'm a dancing dude! I got some fancy moves and a bad attitude!"
Mabel switched it off and Soos started sweating and panting. "Ha! That's amazing!"
"Guys! Something weird just happened. I'm really freaked out!" Soos said, having no idea what's going on.
Mabel flipped the switch on again and Soos mimicked her words and movements again. "I am Soos-Tron! Watch me eat this pine cone!"
Mabel mimicked eating a pine cone while Soos actually ate one, and Mabel then fliped the switch off; Soos collapsed onto his hands and knees, panting again.
"Mind control is awesome!" Mabel declared.
"Oh my gosh! My life just flashed before my eyes! Aghh!" Soos said, still panting.

A sign hanged across two trees saying as Tyler gave his speech: 'General Mayoral Stumpston Speeches'.
"Education, get it. Prosperity, get it. A Gravity Falls we can be proud of, get iiiiit!"
The audience clapped while backstage Stan looked at the tie Mabel gave him in disgust. "Ugh. Do I really have to wear this thing? It looks like a flag threw up on me."
"Grunkle Stan, just trust your lucky tie." Mabel reasoned.
"And now, Stanford Pines!" Blubs called out.
Mabel quickly pushed Stan towards the stage. "You're on, Grunkle Stan!"
She quickly slipped on the mind control tie as she turned to Dipper. "Okay, we'll only jump in if he starts doing badly."
Stan entered through the curtains as he began his speech. "Hiya there! Stan Pines here. Let's get real. Do you think the women of Gravity Falls wear too much makeup?"
"Jump in! Jump in!" Dipper urged.
Mabel turned on the switch.
"Uh, what I meant to say was: you ladies all look great. And have you done something with your hair? Girl, you are working it!" Stan said and snapped his fingers.
A Woman in the audience nodded with approval. "Yes!"
A girl with bow agreed. "That is exactly what I needed to hear right now."
"Whew!" Stan wiped his forehead. "I'm Stan Pines. You may know me as the guy who accidentally let all those bees loose in that elementary school a few years back."
Dipper quickly pulled the tie off of Mabel and put it on, gaining control of Stan.
"But I believe in things. America. Freedom. Ameri-freedom!"
"Good! He's saying all the right things!" A man said, his eyes filling with tears as he grabbed the people beside him.
"Like my opponent pointed out, I may not have a pretty face, but if you want a candidate that will listen to you, well, I'm proud to be all ears." The crowd cheered as Mabel took control of Stan. "Now, watch me break it down!"
Stan started break dancing and then fell to the ground with the control going off. Stan walked off stage, scratching his head in confusion.
"Grunkle Stan, that was amazing!" Mabel said, hugging Stan.
"Yeah! How'd you do it, Mr. Pines?" Soos asked.
"Eh, I don't know. I just opened my mouth and spoke from the heart, or... gut, or something. And what is that sound? Why are people jamming their hands together?" Stan asked, having been given applause or almost any kind of positive attention in his life.
"It's applause! Grunkle Stan, they love you!" Mabel answered happily.
"They... love... me?" Stan pushed the curtain away to see the crowd cheering just to be sure.
"Stan! Stan! Stan! Stan!"
One guy ripped his shirt open, revealing a bald eagle tattoo.
"There he is! Mr. Pines, can we get a picture?"
Dipper, Mabel, Stan and Soos immediately posed. "Yes we Stan!"

"Gentlemen, I've heard you three are the most dangerous criminals on the planet…So the three of you will prove yourselves to in order to get full membership into my organization, Dullahan-"
"That's Scaramouche!"
"Right, Scaramouche, Hector, Kobayashi. Are you up for the challenge?" Van Kleiss asked the three figures standing in front of him.
The first 'man' was in fact a robot or a cyborg, standing over 7'2 feet tall. He wore a black straw hat, orange scarf, red high-heel boots, a long purple coat with red interior, and a large black belt. Inside his belt holster was his tuning sword, while his larger sword is stationed on his back.
The second man was a tall old man standing 7'2 with a muscular build despite his old age. He had short light purple hair in a fohawk haircut along with a purple shavo odadjian beard. He wore no shirt and had a dark gray military coat with a logo of the Rebellion, which was the emblem of a skull with a purple fohawk and with a demon wing on each side, draped to his shoulders. With that coat he wore grey military pants, black military boots, a brown belt, a sword holster where he carried his weapon which was a short orange sword with a gun handle. He possessed a tribal tattoo on the left side of his face, black Kamina glasses with several brutal scars on his chest and finally, his right arm was replaced with a gigantic mechanical arm with three pronged figures, big enough to hold a person with a Gatling-gun design for the wrist and forearm for the outside portion in which the inside was a giant cannon barrel, held together by large bolts at the wrist.
And the third and final member was Hidekazu Kobayashi, leader of the Tetzu Kirazu.
"The first mission I have for you three is pretty special." Van Kleiss said. "The first thing I need to do is-"
Xxx
"I can't believe we were sent to a farm house to pick up some a couple of little girls to serve Van Kleiss and with a brat too." Said Chuck as he, Scaramouche, and Hidekazu were walking down the road of Nowhere while Bell was leading them from the air.
"Aww... Come'on Chuck Baby! Just look on the bright side, Babe!" Said Scaramouche with a smile.
"What bright side!?" Yelled Chuck angrily.
"I don't know, Babe! But when we find it we should look at it!" Replied Scaramouche.
"I've only known you for TEN MINUTES AND I ALREADY ****ING HATE YOU!" Yelled Chuck turning to Scaramouche angrily.
"Woah! Woah! Chill, Babe! There is a very good reason I was picked in the first place! Do you know who I am, Baby?" Asked Scaramouche in a Jazz-like musical hum to his voice.
"Goddamned insufferable?" Asked Chuck as the group kept walking.
"Nah, Babe! I'll tell you who: Me! Be-bee-ba-boo-bo-da... Scaramouche! The Pied-Piper of Demolition and The Musical Nightmare, baby! Also will soon be known as...The most favorite assassin to all the bad guys, babe!" Said Scaramouche as suddenly the third member of their trio dashed in front of the two other assassins, Hidekazu as he started to speak, all the while preforming different battle poses.
"Gentlemen, please! We weren't sent here to fight! We were sent here on a mission to prove ourselves to Van Kleiss! To become part of his soon to be GREAT EMPIRE! It's already an honor for Van Kleiss to give me a chance to prove myself and represent my syndicate the Tetsu Kirazu! The Red Caps and the Satyra have all the fun! But now, IT IS OUR TIME!" Said Hidekazu and during the whole time he was speaking he was preforming multiple slow and steady dance moves in threatening gestures.
But instead of feeling any type of fear, Chuck and Scaramouche were just staring at him.
"If we fail, we might as well commit seppuku! The Tetsu Kirazu are the modern day honorable samurai! I'd rather die than dishonor myself and the Tetsu Kirazu!" Yelled Hidekazu as he took out his katana as he aimed the tip of the blade towards his abdominals, making Scaramouche and Chuck's eyes widen.
"It was me! I caused this fight! YOIYOI!" Yelled Hidekazu as he pulled the blade farther away from his stomach, ready to thrust the blade through his body.
"Wait! Don't-" Yelled Scaramouche, but he was too late.
"SEPPUKU!" Yelled Hidekazu as he stabbed himself... Only for the blade to shatter into pieces from his Aura that he forgot to turn off…
Again.
"I STILL CAN'T EVEN DIE RIGHT! WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY?!" Yelled Hidekazu as he started to sob.
"AND THANK GLOB FOR THAT YOU IDIOT! BECAUSE IF YOU KILLED YOURSELF VAN KLEISS WOULD KICK ALL OF US OFF FROM JOINING HIS LITTLE CLUB AND YOUR GANG WOULD PROBABLY THINK WE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOUR DEATH, AND GO AFTER US!" Yelled Chuck as Hidekazu stood back up with tears still flowing down his face due to the fact that he failed to kill himself.
"Or... Perhaps it is your love that protects me dear mother in heaven!" Said Hidekazu as he continued to sob as Scaramouche and Chuck just stared at him for a moment.
"I think that guy isn't really the kunai in the pouch." Whispered Scaramouche in Chuck's ear as Chuck looked over at his fellow goon.
"Have you looked into a mirror lately, freak?" Chuck asked as he walked forward and grabbed Hidekazu by the back of his collar and pulled him to his feet while taking a puff of smoke. "Come on Mama's boy! It's only a few more minutes away. The sooner I get this gig done, the sooner I can get away from you idiots. By the way, the hell are ya talking about 'all the bad guys' favorite assassin?"
"Oh! Us idiots, Babe? Are ya sure you're not stupid either?" Asked Scaramouche as Chuck tossed his finished cigar aside.
"I lead my own gang Fruitcake, the 'Rebellions'... Huntsmen and Huntresses who wanna put their skills to actual use, and live the good life. But the self-righteous Hunter trash tell us 'We should use our power for good' and "With great power comes great responsibility" crap... It was only after we came together as the Rebellions could we stand a chance, but now that we're being backed up by Van Kleiss, we'll have nothin' to worry about!" Said Chuck laughing to himself a bit as he lit another cigar. "Besides, I'm smart enough to run my own gang, I'm smart enough to- WOAH! A MOSQUITO!"
Chuck pulled out his Scarlet Fury gun and started firing it all around to try and kill the mosquito.
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
He stopped when he saw the smoking holes in the ground, in a tree nearby, and at his two companions. Hidekazu had a smoking bullet hole shot through his lushes pink mane just right above his head with Scaramouche whose hat was shot off. Both of them were giving Chuck annoyed looks with their arms crossed.
"Well... Being trigger happy is also a part of my charm. Now come on! We haven't got all day!" Yelled Chuck as he turned around and walked off.
Hidekazu ruffled his pink mane and easily fixed the whole in his mane while Scaramouche reached into his jacket and pulled out his flute as he played only a few notes as his hat lifted off the ground and landed back on top of his head, as he followed along.
"Is that your Semblance?" Hidekazu curiously asked.
"Part of it. It's been enhanced by my sweet new body." Scaramouche answered, doing a little dance and twirl to show himself off.
"So, you're not a robot?"
"Nope. I used to be full human." Scaramouch turned back to Hidekazu with a smile as he began to tell his story. "Well ya see, Babe, I was hired to massacre a little village in Europe. But during my little rampage, a group of Huntsmen and Huntresses stood in my way. We had a little battle; there was some slicing here, some slashing there, a gun shot over here... But after a while, one Huntsman dashed and managed to crush me under a boulder! After that, I thought I was done for, but...
"That's when a scientist found what left of me and managed to keep me alive by connecting an artificial heart to my brain and kept the blood pumpin'. That was when he created a new body for me to put my brain, my heart and my nervous system in! Don't really know why he attached horse legs to it, but that new body was AWESOME BABY!"
Scaramouche cheered as he finished his story by thrusting his hands in the air.
"Hey love birds, if you're done, we're here." Chuck said as Bell landed in front of him and pointed up ahead at a farmhouse.

"Okay, you have a team of Hunters standing by but what's the deal?"
Eustace had brought everyone down to the basement with the box placed on a stool before he answered Keanu's question. "My good for nothing brother left some sort of guardian to the box."
"A guardian?" Alexis asked.
"Yeah. Some weird mystical mumbo jumbo that he meddled with to keep people from finding the money he got from all his adventures." Eustace explained.
"Uh…What kind of mumbo jumbo are we talking here?" Rino asked, holding up his suitcase. "Because we're kind of on the clock, Eustace."
"Just kill the dang thing that comes out of the box." Eustace said, holding up the key.
"You should heed your brother's words." Shirley, who had remained present, cautioned.
"Do we even need you anymore?" Eustace retorted.
Shirley rolled her eyes but said nothing else as Eustace inserted the key into the box.
