(Don't Stop by Innerpartysystem Starts)
(0:00 to 0:28)
The Grimm army marched forward, undaunted by the arrival of the Justice Friends and their friends who tried to slow them down. The Grimm numbered in thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, bolstered by the Vehicons and Eggman's robots, and as great as Earth's mightiest heroes were, they could not stop the Grimm as they marched onto the mountains to carry out their mission:
Destroy every living thing that lived there.
Then suddenly, a rocket shot forward and blasted the Grimm on the frontlines.
General Skarr blinked, seeing an explosion temporarily cause the Grimm to halt their advance.
A single man wearing a golden helmet with a red cloak stepped forward, holding a spear over his head. "The three hundred…fight for the world!"
More rockets came, blasting at the Grimm and the Vehicones.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
"What in the-" Jetstorm grunted, seeing explosions taking out the advance force.
"It appears our enemies have reinforcements of their own." Obsidian remarked darkly, turning to a nearly floating screen to see what was happening. "Spartans."
"Not just Spartans." Strika commented as another blasting sound was heard.
The road I walk is paved in gold
More shells were fired, and they hit the Volcano Toads that were positioned to bombard the mountains.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
To glorify my platinum soul
"Charge!" The voice of Scotty Blake was heard before warriors of Scotland along with the Spartans attacked the advancing Grimm and Vehicons.
SLASH!
SMASH!
CRASH!
BANG!
BOOM!
I'll buy my way to talk to god
At the very same time, deep in the center of the Earth, Garnet pointed at Nergal. "Crystal Gems, attack!"
Nergal grunted, lashing out with his four tendrils at the Crystal Gems but Johnny Bravo shot forward, dodging them as he came in and swung his hammer, forcing Nergal to jump back.
So he can live with what I'm not
We then jump over Gravity Falls as Kiva puts her fighting skills to the test against the zombies summoned to attack her and the townspeople. She lashes out with a series of punches and kicks, easily knocking many of them down but they just kept coming.
(0:41 to 0:45)
Everything pauses as Sammael is shown smiling on the far-left side of the screen followed by a snarling Nergal appearing next to him, with Bill Cipher appearing in the middle with some popcorn, and on the right side is Nyx jugging down some soda as she watches in excitement.
The selfish blood runs through my veins
Deep inside Van Kleiss' ruined fortress, the Green Goblin laughed as Spider-Man dodged as slash from the clawed hands of a symbiote infected Mary Jane. He tried to subdue her but she was every bit as fast and agile as he was and thus was giving him a hard time.
I gave up everything for fame
Back on the surface, Capital G was grappling with three of Grimm Ghidorah's heads as the rest lashed out at him like snakes, biting at him and seemingly breaking through his Aura.
I am the lie that you adore
He grunted but shrugged them off as he easily shrunk down onto one of the heads and jumped up, returning to his maximum size and body slamming down on the giant Kaiju Grimm.
SLAM!
BOOM!
I feed the rich and f*** the poor
As the impact kicked up dust in all directions, a singly colliding punch from Sammael and Major Glory created a shockwave that literally blew the dust away.
I got, what you want
Sammael grinned, seemingly vanishing from sight, confusing Major Glory but he remained on guard as he carefully looked around where his enemy might be.
It's just, don't stop
Nergal grunted as his tendrils wrapped his arms and legs, forming makeshift armor as he used both arms to block a hammer strike aimed at his head by Johnny, electricity sparkling from the hit and shooting out like lightning.
I got, what you want
The zombies kept on attacking Kiva as she tried to make her way to Megas and check on her friends.
It's just, don't stop
Nyx narrowed her eyes for some reason.
This is entertainment
Suddenly Major Glory found himself attacked by Sammael on the right, his blade positioned to stab the hero. He fired his Star-Spangled Vision but to his surprise Sammael vanished again.
Nergal finally managed to punch Johnny away before Garnet appeared from right behind Johnny, jumping over him and delivering a powerful punch to Nergal's face.
Lies are entertainment
Major Glory suddenly felt a blow to his back and the force was great enough he was blown far across the desolate landscape of Nowhere.
SAM-R-I and Gentle-Jim's swords clashed, sending sparks flying as the swung, ducked, dodged, parried and even danced around each other while dashing across the battlefield.
You are down on your knees
Valhallen spins his Mighty Axe in one hand, narrowing his eyes as the Slag Cephalopod attacked again, lashing out with its tentacles. Valhallen conjured a dome of lightning around himself, actually causing the Slag Cephalopod to be electrocuted on impact, knocking it back and he followed up with a note that summoned bolts of lighting down from the sky.
BOOM!
Begging me for more
Kiva was exhausted as she continued to fight through the zombie hoard, trying to get to the downed Megas and see if Jamie and Coop were still alive. As this happens, Bill Cipher with pure unrestrained glee, followed by a shift to back to the center of the Earth where Nergal slams Garnet face first into the ground.
Nergal laughs.
Bill Cipher's eye narrowed with glee, giving the impression he was smiling.
The left side of Green Goblin's face is shown as he watches Spider-Man struggled against the Symbiote possessed Mary Jane.
And lastly, Sammael is shown grinning down on Major Glory with his eyes glowing bright red.
the road I walk is paved in gold
At the front of the Grimm army, Boris was marching in front, his feet leaving large footsteps and cracks along the ground each step.
To glorify my platinum soul
On his shoulders sat I and Am who were grinning with excitement.
I am the closest thing to god
They stopped when something landed in front of them, leaving a descent sized crater. The dust cleared to reveal cyborg huntsman Dracon, the Dragon of Denver.
So worship me and never stop
The Tiki-Deity roared as he charged at Moloch who summoned giant dark wooden roots to sprout from the ground, slamming into the fiery deity who burned his way through them. A dark forest sprang around them, cutting the Tiki-Deity off from the rest of the world.
The rested blood runs through my veins
General Skarr narrowed his single working eye as the Grimm army was encountering heavy resistance on all fronts.
I gave up everything for fame
Just as Kiva was about to get overwhelmed by the surrounding zombies an axe was thrown, cutting down many zombies in just under a second.
I am the lie that you adore
Running through the hoard, Rufus Roughcut picked up his axe Razor Edge and slashed down a dozen more.
I feed the rich, f*** the poor
One of the heads of Grimm Ghidorah opened its mouth and let loose a lightning blast at Capital G who barely managed to roll of the way and avoid getting blasted.
I got, what you want
Another Sammael appeared on his right and Major Glory blasted it, only for another to appear to its right and then another on its left.
It's just, don't stop
More clones would appear, surrounding the Major as he frantically blasted or punched at them.
I got, what you want
Once there were thirteen duplicates, they all rushed at the hero.
It's just, don't stop
Major Glory spun as he went on the offensive, shooting at the nearest one with battle cry.
This is entertainment
CLASH!
Gentle Jim flipped back, dashing upwards through the mountains, followed by SAM-R- I. He spun around and the pair clashed with their blades. The energy cancelling abilities of Gentle-Jim's sword cancelling out the mystical lightning SAM-R-I produced.
Lies are entertainment
Krunk growled, stopping through the ground as he let out a yell, grabbing the stone Grimm Skullcrusher and slammed it repeatedly into the ground.
You are down on your knees
Nergal sent Garnet flying with an electrified fist.
Moloch rushed out of the darkness, grabbing the Tiki-God's head and slammed him face first into the ground.
Begging me for more
"Mary Jane!" Spider-Man cried out as he slammed into the ground.
The Green Goblin grinned from ear to ear as his nemesis was pinned down…
Dear future,
"Garnet!" Steven cried out, watching as the current leader of the Crystal Gems was knocked away and then grabbed again before slammed into the ground.
I bought you
Grimm Ghidorah rose up, its eight heads snarling and spreading out like snakes, ready to attack Capital G who readied himself.
I own the rights
Dracon rushed, sending a metallic fist at Boris who stood still…and actually caught the fist with just one bare hand.
To let go
"Hold him down." The Goblin commanded the symbiote as he raised a red glowing Mayhem.
Destroy you
Major Glory found himself being attacked on all sides by Sammael and his duplicates, attacking and disappearing before the Major could even blink.
This is my life
As Rufus Roughcut helped Kiva, Wendy slashed through the zombies with her own axe, making her way to Stan and Ford who were helping to keep the townspeople safe.
"Where are Mabel and Dipper?" She asked once she was close enough.
Dear future,
"Do you understand now, Major Glory?" Sammael and his duplicates taunted as they disappeared and reappeared constantly around the overwhelmed Major. "You can't stop what is to come."
I bought you
"Foolish mortal, parading as a God." Moloch punched the Tiki-God through several dark trees. "No matter what power you possess, I cannot be killed."
I own the rights
"They've been captured." Ford answered Wendy's question as they continued fighting. "Mabel's in that energy dome and Dipper is up in Bill's castle."
To let go
"I would have waited an eternity for this." The Green Goblin held his sword over Spider-Man's head. "It's over, Parker."
Destroy you
"One or another, the Gem of Heart will be recovered. Even if you stop us." Sammael spoke to the overwhelmed Major.
This is my life…inside
"The Gem will still awaken, signaling the others to awaken and call out to their wielders."
"RAGH!" Boris charged forward, making Dracon skid back even though his feet were planted firmly in the ground.
I got, what you want
Nergal grabbed Garnet with a tendril, lifting her off the ground. "First you and then the others and then that boy."
"GARNET!" Steven shot forward, his gem glowing.
"STEVEN!" Pearl called out but was too late to stop him!
It's just, don't stop
Steven jumped, flying right at Garnet…
And then both were engulfed in a bright light.
"GAH!" Nergal was blinded by the light, forcing him back.
I got, what you want
"And when that happens, the question I have will be answered."
Major Glory narrowed his eyes.
It's just, don't stop
"Are…"
Dracon pulled out a beam sword and slashed at Boris who raised one arm to block, muscular nerves made of Aura appearing around his arm as he blocked.
this is entertainment
"We…"
The Goblin raised his sword over his head, the blood red light only making the grin of it's owner even more terrifying.
Lies are entertainment
"Worthy?"
The duplicates all surrounded Major Glory, raising their swords to finish him off.
You are down on your knees
CLASH!
Suddenly something blocked the Goblin's sword as he brought it down on Spider-Man. "What?!"
Begging me for more
Raven in her white cloak had appeared, saving Spider-Man at the last second, her eyes glowing white and narrowed at the sight of the Goblin's sword.
Begging me for more
Even though he was outnumbered, Major Glory was far from finished as he used his Semblance to enhance his speed, moving fast enough that a few duplicates ended up cutting each other down, making him smile.
Begging me for more
"Oh yeah!"
Nergal only had a chance to blink before a singly fist to the fast sent him flying.
"Sunstone's in the house!"
The new Gem fusion had a fire-shaped head, bright orange skin with normal orange patches, and two sets of arms: one bulky and muscular with the other slender. They wore a pair of dark red shades, covering their eyes, Steven's salmon-pink shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Garnet's gloves at the lower arms, Steven's jeans as shorts with a red pocket on the left leg and a blue pocket on the right leg, and sandals.
She flexed her muscles and smiled. "Chillax, my dudes. Your rockin' pal Sunstone is holdin' it down."
(I got, you want
Goblin staggered back and snarled at Raven who glared back.
It's just, don't stop
The Sammael duplicates spread themselves out, attacking him one at a time to breach his defenses but help arrived.
I got, you want
"KRUNK SMASH EVIL MAN!" Krunk leapt in and body-slammed into a Sammael duplicate, causing it to explode into black smoke.
It's just, don't stop)
(Don't Stop by Innerpartysystem Ends)
Sammael paused and looked up as lightning shot down and destroyed his duplicates while he slashed the lightning bolt aimed at him with Oblivion, dispersing it with one mere touch.
"Yo, Major!" Valhallen landed next to Major Glory who sighed in relief. "You, okay?"
"Yes, just need to catch my breath." The Major answered. "How are things going back there?"
"Sebben and the others have managed to set up a command post to organize the counterattack and we're holding back the major players but the Grimm are making their way into the mountains." Valhallen answered, glaring at Sammael who remained calm and composed as Krunk joined the pair, making it three to one in their favor. "Now we just need to take out the big baddie here and the whole attack will be called off."
"Easier than done Asgardian." Sammael smirked. "As usual, it seems Odin is content to send his children to fight his battles for him. The very god who conquered the Nine Realms and he can't even be bothered to help his youngest son. How pitiful."
Valhallen pointed his Mighty Axe at Sammael. "Shut up about Asgard, cretin. You have no right to speak of it or Odin."
"I have more than you think." Sammael's smirk widened slightly. "At the very least, Major Glory's uncle had the courage to face me while Odin just sits on his throne in silent judgement, believing himself to be above all others. It's almost laughable that he is more concerned with preserving his rule than removing those that threaten his world and his people."
"Odin won't be needed to take you down, Sammael." Major Glory stood up straight as he, Valhallen and Krunk prepared for battle. "Because we'll be taking you down ourselves."
Xxx
Nergal snarled at the Gem Fusion known as Sunstone as she flexed her muscles. "You were annoying enough separated."
"You'll never separate us, you bully." Sunstone said with a thumbs-up and her glasses flashing.
"Oh really?" Nergal grinned as he stood up. "I'll settle for flattening you instead."
Xxx
"So, we got to get that giant robot back up and running, rescue Mabel and then we save Dipper." Stan said as he punched another zombie's head off.
"Stan, you and Wendy go save Mabel." Ford shot a few more zombies. "Miss Kiva and I will deal with the robot."
Xxx
The battle for Earth continued on multiple fronts and none were slowing down.
And only one person could see all of this.
Sebben sighed as he patted his eye patch. "I need to consider retiring…or a very long vacation after this."
INFINITY TRAIN
Opening File: Samantha
Samantha, more commonly known as The Cat, is a traveling con artist and self-proclaimed entrepreneur. She is able to travel across the train cars in her personal shuttlecraft, attempting to sell seemingly useless items to the unsuspecting inhabitants in each car. She even owns and operates several cars on the train including the Lucky Cat Car, Le Chat Chalet Car, and her own namesake car.
She appears to conduct business dealings on the train only using her title of 'The Cat' with the exception of Simon who calls her Samantha. The Cat has been on the train for at least 150 years. At one point she traveled with a young passenger named Simon Laurent for a few months, with the two becoming extremely close to the point that the cat acted as the boy's parental guardian. They were separated when the pair were attacked by a Ghom in the Box Car.
Fleeing from the creature, Samantha slid through a box and did not realize Simon was not with her until she was too far away. Her accidental abandonment of Simon led to him meeting Grace Monroe and instilling a hatred of denizens, leaving their relationship in a tenuous position for the next eight years. The Cat was aware of Amelia Hughes' takeover as conductor of the Infinity Train, and has had more than a few encounters with her, claiming Amelia has tried to kill her numerous times. Nonetheless, they have occasionally formed grudging alliances, which are generally one-sided due to the threat Amelia poses to the Cat.
She has also encountered the Apex on a number of occasions since its formation, holding a bitter rivalry with Grace but a tenuous tenderness for Simon despite his actions since joining the Apex. The Cat is a shrewd business cat, always looking for opportunities to collect unique things and make sales, even of entirely useless items. Outside of her business schemes, her intentions are difficult to read: initially, she planned to deliver One-One to the Conductor and schemed with the Conductor to trap Tulip in her memory tape. However, it is implied her plan to deliver One-One to the Engine was to help him regain control of the train from Amelia.
This is in line with her stated philosophy that she always 'does the right thing,' even if her reasons are unstated in the moment. Her overall relationship with the passengers is somewhat unclear: as shown when she is not above selling out passengers like Ryan and Min-Gi for profit, although she also helped orchestrate the plan to free the two later on. She also genuinely cared about Tulip's safety, and even helped her get to the Engine to fight the Conductor; when she mistook Lake for Tulip, she was initially worried that Tulip was still on the train. Her former companionship with Simon shows she is capable of connecting with passengers on a deeper level, to the point that she stayed with him for months.
However, she accidentally left him behind during an attack by a Ghom and never went back for him, which directly led to him meeting Grace Monroe and eventually forming the Apex. His experiences with the Cat's abandonment directly instilled a lifelong hatred of denizens and fear of abandonment. Despite her overall antagonistic relationship with the Apex, the Cat still harbors mixed emotions about Simon and tries to help where she can when they met up again, including giving him a hidden device that will give him access to Grace's memories and telling him how to make use of it. However, she warns him in vain that this could be dangerous, and laments that he has no idea what he's doing when he is out of earshot.
This demonstrates that she knows her actions may not help Simon in the long run, a notable contrast to her claim that she always does the right thing.

"So, you can stretch yourself all over the place and you have no idea why?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Ooh, that's rough kid." Stan Pines simply said as he and the kid named Eddy continued their journey through the cars.
Eddy had no idea why he decided to just spill everything to an old coot but Stan had this way of getting him to just drop everything and talk.
Maybe because he spent so much time pulling scams along to cope with his 'powers' and being abducted by aliens and nearly killed by demons or whatever.
He certainly couldn't just leave and go back home.
Home…
He wondered if everyone was okay back home…
He had kind of blown up at Ed and everyone else getting back home but he was…
He was…
Okay, he was frustrated, and he took it all out on everyone because he thought they shouldn't be as upbeat and somewhat happy since he couldn't feel that way, especially Ed since him, and those two kids Nigel and Abby were the reason those aliens came after them.
Or was it fair to blame them at all?
'Gah, why do I keep thinking up this stupid stuff?' Eddy grumbled in his mind. 'Why couldn't we just go back to the cul-de-sac, and I try dreaming up something to become super rich?'
It was all so simple back then.
Stan for the most part was letting Eddy work things out in his own way. That was why they were on this train in the first place, to work out their own issues.
Or at least that's what Ford had said.
Given everything that has happened because of Ford's involvement, Stan really hoped he could trust his brother one last time.
His only concern was finding Dipper and Mabel and getting them home.
And maybe help this Eddy kid while he was at it.
'Heh, look at me. All those years I spent undercover as a Huntsman and I'm starting to think like a real one.' Stan chuckled to himself. 'Wonder what Dad would have to say about that.'
He would probably say… 'I am not impressed.'
'Right, he always was a hard butt.' Stan rolled his eyes.
Xxx
"That was amazing, right Rolf? Who knew a tree with so many faces would be able to help us out?"
Rolf took a deep breath and sighed as they exited the car. "Rolf will admit that many faced tree was helpful…Even the most vicious and dreadful monster of Rolf's darkest dreams."
The Son of Shepard shuddered, knowing he would not be sleeping for a few nights.
"So where to now, Rolf?" Jonny asked as they walked over the bridge leading to the next car. "This train like goes on forever…Like some kind of…Infinity Train."
Jonny paused and looked at Plank. "What do you mean I'm breaking the fourth wall, Plank?"
"We keep moving until we reach the end, Jonny Wood-Boy. Rolf knows we will find our friends eventually." Rolf said as they opened the door to the next car.
Xxx
"I know we'll come upon your friends and mine if we keep moving." Ford said as he led Kevin and Double D into the next car. "The important thing we do is-"
Xxx
"Stick together, Mabel. For only together can the brave space outlaws find their way off the robot planet and return home." Ed said, pointing a finger dramatically into the air.
"Wow…" Mabel gasped with big awestruck eyes. "Amazing."
Ed chuckled. "Shock-o-rama."
"What happens, Ed?" Mabel asked eagerly.
"The story begins when three space outlaws, who crash-land on a robot planet. And they have to fight off the robots, but they also must try to escape back to Rarth, or the robots will grind their bones to bits. When the three spacemen lose control of their ship, and hurtle into a field of asteroids–"
Ed and Mabel walked into the next car which resembled a futuristic city with actual robots constructing new buildings or knocking them down. A robot even changed into changed into a giant wrecking ball that nearly hit them but neither Ed nor Mabel noticed.
"–that almost crush them into space dust. They're sucked–"
The next car they entered was a series of pipes in what looked like a giant theme park of sorts.
"–into a dimensional time portal that transports them to the robot planet."
They step out of the car a few minutes later.
"The heroes find their ship destroyed. They're marooned on the robot planet."
"Wowwww…" Mabel marveled.
Xxx
"So, your sister came here because she was upset you were getting this apprenticeship from your long-lost uncle." The Cat named Samantha said while sitting on Dipper's shoulder. "Sounds like she overreacted."
"Well, she did have a rough day." Dipper admitted. "She wanted to be with all her friends, but no one had any time for her. We all were…"
"Busy." Samantha finished as the door leading out of the car they had been in opened. "Welcome to real life, Dipper."
Dipper was silent as they entered the next car. They had been through several cars already and there had been so sign of Mabel or the rest of Dipper's family.
"Samantha, are you sure we'll find them?" Dipper asked aloud.
"Of course. You say they boarded the train the same time as you, correct?" Samantha asked, to which Dipper nodded. "Then they are onboard. Granted, the train is composed of a never-ending number of cars but I've learned from experience that you humans tend to make a lot of noise when motivated."
Dipper glanced at the cat on his shoulder. "Do you know many humans?"
They ended entering a carven like landscape so far it seemed safe to traverse.
"I've met my share of humans. Some of you are interesting while the others are just trouble." Samantha then frowned as they walked past a crystal.
Dipper noticed the reflection didn't resemble him, but an older scraggly looking teen with blond hair in a ponytail.
"Simon…" He heard Samantha mutter.
"You know him him?"
Samantha closed her eyes. "He was one of the humans I had met…Someone who needed help but couldn't…Or wouldn't find it when he needed it the most."
That worried Dipper.
So far, they avoided any danger on the train but from the way Samantha spoke of this 'Simon', he ran into trouble.
Trouble that Mabel might run into if he doesn't hurry.
Just as they reached the end, Dipper gulped when he saw there was a steep chasm between them and the door leading to the next car.
"Well, it seems we'll have to use a little brainpower here, Dipper." Samantha remarked calmly. "How to get across without falling to our deaths?"
"You've been on this train for a long time, haven't you?" Dipper asked, glancing to the Cat who raised an eyebrow.
"I have. What's your point?"
"My point is, I think you already know the way across and you're just testing me." Dipper frowned. "I may be a kid, but I learned a lot this summer, especially after a dream demon possessed my body. You're not an ordinary cat and unlike the other denizens we've seen, you never stay in one car. So you must have traveled this train for a long time. Long enough to know how to get across."
Samantha smiled. "Very good, Dipper. You're a credit to your claim of being related to a genius."
"So why don't you tell me how to get across?" Dipper asked, gesturing to the door on the other side.
"Because that would defeat the purpose."
"The purpose?"
"The purpose of the train is to help the people who board it work out their problems and they can't work out their problems if I or any of the other denizens spell it out for them. You must your brain power to sort out the solution and then work on emotionally maturing yourself to recognize the problems in you and sort them out." Samantha answered, hopping off of Dipper's shoulder.
Dipper glared at the Cat but simply sighed. "Okay, so I at least now know there is a way across. Meaning there is some kind of switch."
"Go on." Samantha prompted, looking back at Dipper with an intrigued smile.
Dipper looked around and saw what looked like a stone pedestal with several crystals embedded in what looked like slots but noticed some were missing. "It's a puzzle. The crystals in that pedestal, they must work to create a bridge."
He looked over the colors of the crystals: Red, Green, Blue
He then looked around and noticed some additional colors on the walls of the cavern.
Orange
Yellow
Purple
Almost like they were the color of a rainbow…
A rainbow!
"The crystals." Dipper snapped his fingers. "I have to add them all to this tablet to activate the bridge!"
"Bravo." Samantha clapped her paws. "You figured it quickly, but which crystal must you add?"
Dipper noticed the crystals in the pedestal were a certain size and shape, meaning he needed to get crystals matching the ones already there along with the remaining colors. It took him nearly an hour but eventually he found the right crystals that needed to be added and once he did so, a bridge made of an actual rainbow appeared, extending out to the door.
"Okay, I know this is not my world but a rainbow bridge? This is something Mabel would probably imagine and write down in her 'Endless Fantasy' novel." Dipper muttered as he walked across the bridge. "How is the light of this rainbow even solid? Does it use a form of Hard-Light Dust?"
"You really must stop trying to apply human logic here, Dipper." Samantha commented, walking alongside the boy towards the door. "The Train exists in a world where so-called normal rules can be bent and twisted beyond recognition."
"Who made the Train anyway? Why does it even exist to help people with their problems?" Dipper asked as the door opened.
"Truthfully, I do not know any of that. The Train has always existed as far as I know, bringing lost children aboard to work out the problems they cannot solve in their world." Samantha informed as they walked across the bridge. "There's no shortage of human children who need help, solving whatever it is that bothers them so much."
Dipper frowned at that.
"All that matters in the long run is that the Train has a purpose, and we are all on it for a reason." Samantha finished as they made it to the other side. "Until you find that reason, you cannot leave."
"So, you keep saying but why is solving our problems so important? Why do all of this? Make a train in the middle of some kind of pocket dimension that just goes on forever? Why keep us prisoner and label us with numbers until we are forced to deal with our issues?" Dipper stopped and stared at the floor. "Why do all of this?"
"Still trying to apply reason to something you can't understand. You're definitely the brainy type." Samantha rolled her eyes. "And you're only a prisoner so as long as you refuse to understand the reason you are here."
"But I'm not here because I have problems!" Dipper exclaimed, glaring at the Cat. "Sure, everyone has issues, but I only came aboard to find my sister. That's why I'm here and until I find her I can't focus on my problems because I am thinking of myself, I'm thinking of her!"
Samantha looked Dipper's hand and noticed his number changing.
30
"So, let's skip the therapy talk because until I find Mabel, I am not thinking of anything else." Dipper walked up to the door, waited as it opened and then stepped inside.
Samantha watched as he entered…and smiled. "Perhaps you will be different after all."
