It was a good while after the defeat of Belos and The Collector was currently busy freeing everyone from their puppet forms. He freed Steve who tried to get his feet together but almost fell.

"What happened?" Steve asked. He froze when he saw The Collector and almost panicked.

"Steve!" Yunan tackled him in a hug.

"Yunan!" Steve cheered. "My single buddy!"

Lilith, whom stood by The Collector laughed. "That is so sweet."

"Hey Collector, how many people did you turn to puppets?" Grime asked.

"Not a lot." The Collector said.

"Define not a lot!" Pacifica yelled from a huge crowd of people.

Turns out the Archives were filled with a lot of de-puppetfied people crowding the entire palace. Many of them were being reunited with their families or friends. There were hugs, kisses and tears to be heard.

In the crowd was Perry Porter, Gus' Dad, who was looking for his son. "Dad!" He turned to see his son coming towards him with his arms spread out.

Gus jumped into his father's arms and he kissed his forehead as he happily embraced him. "I've missed you so much!" Gus exclaimed.

"I've missed you too!" Perry happily exclaimed as he tightened his hug.

Grime approached the two and cleared his throat. "Mr Porter." He offered the witch a slimy toad hand. "My name is Grime. I'm the one who looked out for your son. Well, he wasn't living with me in a swamp he was actually living with a marvellous man named Mr Boonchuy. I never got his first name but-"

Mr Porter just pulled Grime in for a hug, interrupting him. "Thanks for watching out for him."

Grime was surprised by the hug but joined in. "You're welcome. He means a lot to me. Like he were my own son."

Meanwhile, Willow and Hunter were on the lookout for any signs of her Dads. She was worried like she wouldn't see them but then Hunter managed to see a pair of hands waving out to them.

"Willow!" Hunter points to her Dads, Gilbert and Harvey, whom were waving toward them.

Willow happily ran to her Dads who embraced her in a massive hug. "Willow!" Gilbert exclaimed as tears fell from his face. "Harvey!" He happily shared a kiss with his husband.

Hunter just stood in place not knowing what to do. Should he join the hug? Or should he just stand there? But from a distant he was seeing the Parks motioning him to join the hug.

Hunter gave a smile and teleported into the hug, surprising the Dads but nevertheless, they were happy to see him again.

"Dads, I'd like to reintroduce Hunter for a minute." Willow said. "Dad, Papa, this is Hunter. My boyfriend."

Hunter gave the Dads a nervous smile. But then, they hugged him harder like they were embracing him like a new member of the family.

Everyone was being reunited with their friends and family, except for one. Amity was standing by one of the pillar like she was looking for someone. She was currently looking for her Dad. She knows he was being held captive by an evil ancient being but she wanted some hope that he was probably somewhere in the crowd.

Camila approached her with a saddened expression. "You know he isn't here, right Mija?"

Amity sighed. "I know. I guess I just want there to be some glimmer of hope that he's still here." Her lips began to quiver. "But I guess I should give my hopes up." She began to sob which caused Camila's motherly instincts to kick in and to gently wrap Amity in a hug.

"Oh baby." Amity accepted the hug and returned it. "Oh baby. We're going to find him. I promise."

"No you will not!" They turned to the right to see Odalia approaching them. She appeared to have a busted lip, a black eye, a broken nose and what looked like a ton of burns on her arm. Possibly from being beaten by Yunan. "Not while I'm around! Since your father is gone, guess that make me the legal guardian of that child. So unhand her you vile human!"

Camila narrowed her eyes at the woman and began to march up towards her. "Unhand her?! She is in distress right now!"

"So?" Odalia chided. "It's his fault he got captured."

"I've heard so much about you!" Camila chided. "You're an awful woman! No! You're not an awful woman you are the most vile and disgusting people I have ever had the chance of meeting of. What kind of mother treats their own child like some prize to flaunt around?! Being a mother is a responsibility?! It's something to be proud of! Not to brag but be proud of!"

Odalia was kind of intimidated by the woman. "I…I…I..was trying to set her up for greatness. You must know that being a mother is about paving a way for the child's future."

"I know that being a mother is accepting the future your child wants and helping them grow and succeed!" Camila chided. "All you've done is cause so much grief and suffering for Amity! You have no right to be her mother!"

Odalia narrowed her eyes at Camila. "Why you…."

But before she could cast a spell, Yunan tackled Odalia and placed a dagger on her throat. "Don't you dare cast a spell on taller Luz!"

The other witches in attendance watched on with curiosity and worry over what was transpiring. "Don't worry everyone, Odalia's just getting her butt kicked." Lilith's comment made everyone calm.

"Woo, that's a relief." Darius remarked.

Then, they heard the sound of some thrusters coming towards them. They looked and saw Dipper coming in with Marcy following. Coming towards them like some kind of superhero duo.

Lilith was amazed by what she was seeing. "Is that, Marcy?" Lilith asked.

"Yup, she has those powers." Pacifica said.

"Such a graceful image." Grime remarked. "Look at how they're coming in."

Then, Marcy and Dipper crash landed in front of everyone with a clumsy thud. "We're okay." Dipper and Marcy said.

"Forget I said that." Grime said.

Dipper stood up and pushed a few buttons that made the armour assimilate back into the chest plate on his bare chest.

Then, he was attacked by a huge hug from Pacifica and she kissed him with so much deep and passion. "Are you okay?"

Dipper kissed her again. "I am. Are you?"

"Yeah. Belos?" Pacifica asked.

Dipper looked to her and everyone in attendance. He noticed a stage that Lilith, The Collector and Steve were standing on.

"By the way, what was with that nanotechnology armour thing?" Pacifica asked. "I love it!"

"Excuse me." Dipper ran up toward the stage and got on to make an announcement. "People of the Boiling Isles! My name is Dipper Pines, but I'm sure you'll know me as Mason." There we're murmurs that were either of disgust or admiration.

"Your latest book sucked!" Someone cried.

"Yes! Yes! But I'm not here to announce my comeback!" Dipper said. "Emperor Belos is dead." The news of their emperor's death caused everyone to murmur either of happiness or worry. Hunter himself was shocked yet there was some relief. "You're all free from his terror and tyranny and are free to live freely. Though I am not to thank for my efforts. Luz Noceda defeated him with thanks to the Titan. So if anyone is in need of being cheered for it's her." Odalia was horrified by this information and so were some of the Coven Heads. "Now, you all get to live without him looming over your shoulder."

There were some cheers. But it was mainly the cheers that drowned out the boos.

While the Parks happily celebrated, Hunter looked indifferent about this. On the one hand, he was happy he was dead while on the other hand he didn't know how to feel about a member of his family being dead.

"Wait!" Terra cried out. "We have no leader!"

"Yeah!" Adrian agreed. "Who do we follow?"

"Perhaps with Belos gone, we could continue his legacy." Osran suggested. "Sure, he tried to kill us all but-"

"No!" Darius interjected as he walked on stage. "We will not continue living under his rules. The sigils did not please the Titan. They were trying to kill us all. So, we're going to get rid of this Coven rule and begin a new prosperous society for the future!" There were some cheers at Darius' announcement while Odalia gave a tired groan and the other Coven Heads didn't look convinced.

"But there's another problem." Dipper declared. "You're all not safe for now! There is another threat coming!"

Marcy climbed on the stage and turned to the residents. "Their name is The Core. They're a highly advanced being from Amphibia set on one thing. Conquest." The witches all began to murmur with worry. "Settle down!" Marcy said. "We still have time to prepare for the attack. You should rest. It will take time for them to prepare their army but in that time we will be prepared for them. So go ahead and go home, get some rest and get your kids from school! Make sure they have a proper bath, I'm sure some of them stink."

Bump seemed alarmed. "What? I made sure there was enough hot water for everyone."

Pacifica nudged Bump. "Well, Boscha hogged it."

"She what?!" Bump exclaimed. "First getting away with murder now this! Honestly, you two need to control your daughter!" He looked at two women. One with three eyes and pink skin. The other with red hair and light pink skin.

"Hey strange human girl, it's nice you want us to rest for a bit, but how do we get down?" Gilbert asked.

The Collector smacked his head. "Oh! My mistake!" They snapped his fingers and a pair of glowing blue stairs appeared outside the palace.

Everyone began walking down them to go straight towards their respective homes. "I hope no one robbed my stand." Morton sighed.

Lilith approached Dipper. "Dipper?"

"Yes?" Dipper asked.

"My name is Lilith Clawthorne I'm Edalyn's sister." Lilith said as she and Dipper shared a handshake.

"Nice to meet you." Dipper said. "Listen Lilith, I need those robot heads you have in your enclosure. Think you could get them while I make sure everything is in order?"

Lilith gave a bow. "I'll be back in a jiffy." She then turned to Harpy Lilith and flew toward the enclosure to retrieve the head.

Dipper stared at her with a surprised expression. "This world is still surprising me."

The next that were ready to go down the stairs were the Parks. But before Willow took the first step, she turned to face her boyfriend whom was looking between her and Pacifica.

"Hunter?" Willow asked. "You coming?"

"I mean, I want to but…"

Pacifica walked in. "But I'm a little busy right now. Sorry Hunter, we'll catch up later. Why won't you spend some time with your girlfriend?" She then leaned down to whisper in his ear. "I feel she needs someone right now. And I feel you need her. I promise we'll see each other again."

Hunter smiled at his sister and shared a massive hug with her. "I'm glad you're okay." Hunter said.

"Likewise, kid." Pacifica said.

Hunter teleported towards Willow and began to walk down the stairs with her and her Dads. Pacifica just smiled at her brother before going to her boyfriend.

Then Gus and Perry were next to go down the stairs. "You go home and get some rest. I better go and check on Sasha." Grime said.

"Same." Yunan said as she wiped some blood off her hand. "Man, Odalia had so much blood coming from her nose."

Amity stared at Yunan with an alarmed look. "Did you just…"

"No! She just bleeds really bad." Yunan said. "I think she might have some kind of bleeding condition."

Bump then showed up on his stick along with Amelia and Cat. "Do you two need a lift? It's quite a walk from here to Hexside."

Grime smiled. "Sure Bump." He jumped on the staff with Yunan following.

"By the way Grime, are you still going to kill me for stabbing your sister?" Yunan asked before Bump took off.

"When did I say this?!" Grime asked, continuing the conversation while on the broomstick.

"When we teamed up." Yunan said. "You said as soon as this is done you'd kill me for stabbing your sister."

"Oh yeah I did." Grime said with realisation. "Eh, I forgot about it anyway. Wasn't really important. Plus she's still alive."

"Oh, right." Yunan responded.

There was awkward silence on the flight to Hexside. "This is a very awkward conversation." Cat remarked.

Back with the others, Pacifica approached her boyfriend, a Marcy and The Collector. "So now what?" Pacifica asked. "Do you have the shards?"

Marcy panicked. "Oh no! I forgot them!"

Dipper patted her back. "Relax." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the three shards.

Marcy stared at Dipper with wide eyed admiration. "How?"

Dipper grinned. "I might have swiped them during our fight with Belos."

"Speaking of Belos, how did Luz beat him?" Amity asked as she and Camila approached him.

"Luz is at The Owl House with Eda, Anne, Raine and King." Dipper explained. "She…"

"She died and came back as a kitty cat!" Marcy interjected.

"What?!" Pacifica, Amity and Camila screamed.

"WHAT?!" Lilith exclaimed as she returned with the heads. "Luz died?!"

Dipper narrowed his eyes at Marcy. "Marcy!"

The Collector smiled. "Yup. She died but she came back."

"Collector!" Dipper exclaimed.

"Was I not supposed to say that?" The Collector asked.

"Not out of nowhere!" Dipper argued. "Now Amity and Camila are crying." He points to Amity and Camila whom were horrified that one of the most important people in their lives died that tears were falling from their eyes. "Man, I should have let Luz told them."

"Take us to her!" Camila commanded.

"Okay." Dipper said before handing the heads to Marcy. "Marcy, take these heads a place for me to study."

"My Dad's laboratory." Amity replied. "You could study there."

"Okay!" Marcy said. "How will I get there?"

"I'll take you there." Darius said. "Though please do be quiet." Darius turned to Abomination form. "Eberwolf, could you keep an eye on Marcy when we arrive to Blight Manor?" Eberwolf's eyes went wide with alarm until he grabbed them and began carrying them and her to Blight manor.

"So Darius, what's this cool Abomination form?" Marcy asked. "Can others do it? What was it like for nine months? Did you still see things as a puppet? Was it boring?"

Darius jumped off the palace and sighed. "Someone turn me back into a puppet."

Meanwhile at the Owl House, Eda had placed her nest on the floor and began to rest in it with Raine. She snuggled to their chest while they just closed their eyes. She stared at her lover for a moment to analyse their face. There, she noticed that there were some new marks coming from their eyes resembling what looked like tears. The marks of Belos' possession.

She sighed sadly and kissed their hand to give them some comfort.

Anne just watched this with an awkward expression. "Soooooo, where am I gonna rest?"

Luz sat on the nest. "Come on Anne, the nest is comfy after a while."

"Sometimes the twigs impale your skin but you get used to it." King said.

"I'd rather be sleeping in a mini cave." Anne mumbled to herself. She then saw Stringbean. "Hey Stringbean, could you turn into a bed?" Stringbean just shape changed into a pillow, surprising Anne. "Eh, it'll suffice." She laid on the floor and rested her head on Stringbean. "Mmm, that's nice."

Then, they heard the sound of The Collector's star and looked to see who was outside. Lilith entered the House with her hood up. She pulled it down causing Eda to smile.

She sat up from her nest and ran toward her sister. "Lily!"

She and her shared a sisterly hug. "I'm so glad you're okay, Edalyn."

Then the next people to enter were Amity and Camila. When Amity saw that her girlfriend was alive she immediately ran inside with her arms out.

The two shared a hug where Amity lifted Luz up. Then she placed her back down so she and her could share a kiss with each other.

Camila approached her daughter and her girlfriend and waited patiently till they were done. The two pulled out of the kiss and Camila instantly came in to hug her daughter. Luz returned the hug while Amity just happily watched on.

Then, Camila heard the sound of someone coughing. She turned to see none other than Eda, the woman who took care of her daughter. She gave a smile at the woman with her arm out.

"Uh…Hi, I'm Eda." Eda said. "I'm the woman who raised your daughter."

Camila just smiled at Eda and pulled her in for a hug. "I know. Thank you Miss Clawthorne."

Dipper entered the house with Pacifica following. When Luz saw Pacifica she froze in shock.

"Hey Luz." Pacifica said. "Long time no-" But Pacifica was interrupted when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist.

Luz had tears falling from her eyes. "I'm glad you're not dead."

Pacifica was surprised but then returned the hug. "Okay, how many people thought I was dead?"

"A ton." Dipper replied.

"We even scheduled a funeral for November 1st." Anne froze. "Oh wait, today is November 1st."

Meanwhile in Gravity Falls, a bandaged Stan, Ford, Soos, Melody holding a baby, Chyro, Slender Man, Splendor Man, Mabel, Mr & Mrs Pines, Candy, Grenda, Wendy, Rocky, Rev and Prince Marius were in attendance to mourn her loss.

Mabel was on a podium talking about her deceased friend. "Pacifica was once my enemy, then she was my acquaintance, then she was my best friend, then she was my brother's girlfriend, she would have made an amazing sister-in-law!" Mabel began sobbing. "But unfortunately she is gone. Though my gut seems to tell me that she's alive for some reason."

Back in the Demon Realm.

"You prepared my funeral?" Pacifica asked.

"Well, we didn't want to forget you." Dipper said before turning to Lilith. "By the way, do you have the box?"

Lilith pressed her hand against her head. "I remember having it. But I can't remember where I put it. It's probably in the enclosure somewhere. I'll look at it later."

The Collector approached Lilith with a guilty expression. "Hey Lilith." She turned to face them. "Dipper told me that forgiveness takes time. So, I hope this is a start." He shows the Hooty puppet that he brought back to life with their magic.

Hooty, now with flashy eyelashes, opened his eyes and saw Lilith in front of him. He gave a ginormous smile and began to wrap Lilith in a hug. "LULU!"

"Hootcifer!" Lilith happily cried despite being choked.

Amity and Camila watched on with discomfort while Luz pulled them in and smiled happily at the sight. "This is beautiful."

Anne, Dipper and Pacifica were staring at the very beautiful?….Sight with cringe. "What the hell is that?" Anne and Dipper asked simultaneously.

Pacifica shrugged her shoulders. "I don't even know what Hooty is."

"Yeah, that's a mystery that will never be answered." Eda said.

"Well, you know me!" Dipper pulled out his pen and paper and approached Hooty. "Excuse me Mr Hooty."

"My Hooty is my father's name." Hooty said as he let go of Lilith. "How can I help you?"

"My name is Dipper Pines, and I want to conduct an interview with you." Dipper said. "I like doing research into the paranormal."

Hooty smiled. "I'm paranormal?!" Hooty exclaimed. "That's the best kind of normal! Okay, little man, I'll talk! Okay, I was born Hooty Fonzerelli, Goranda, Gary-Anne, Yowie, Kotana…"

As Hooty spoke, Eda was looking through the hole for any sign of apple blood. "Uh…Nothing."

"Well, Grime did dig through it." Anne said.

"Luz, give me a light." Eda said.

"You got it!" Luz pulled out a piece of paper with a drawing of a light glyph and touched it. But nothing happened. She touched it again and nothing happened. "Huh?" She touched it a few more times but not a single light was emitting from the paper.

"Did you draw it perfectly?" Lilith asked.

"I had it prepared." Luz touched it a few times. "What happened?"

"It's like your magic is gone." King said.

"But…." Amity summoned an Abomination ball that she began to play with. "….My magic is working just fine."

It didn't take long for Luz to figure out what had happened. "Your magic works fine. But my magic…" She touches the paper again. "…Is gone. The Titan didn't just give up the last of his power to me, he gave up his life. Meaning that with the Titan gone, so is my magic." Luz looked down sadly causing everyone to stare at her with sympathy.

"Oh Mija." Camila pulled her daughter in for a hug. "I'm sorry." Then Stringbean flew up towards her owner and began to nuzzle her face.

Luz smiled at the gesture and snuggled her Palisman. "It's okay. I have Stringbean to help me."

"Hey Dipper, was this in yours and Anne's vision?" The Collector asked. Dipper and Anne cringed.

"Wait, vision?" Luz asked.

"What vision?" Raine asked.

Anne and Dipper began to sweat. "Uh….What vision?"

"Collector! You cray-cray!" Dipper said.

Pacifica folded her arms at her boyfriend. "Dipper…You never use cray-cray. What's going on?"

Dipper and Anne gave each other some looks. "Okay, but don't be mad." Anne said.

"We saw visions of the future." Dipper replied.

"We saw how the puzzle box was found."

"We saw that we gave up the shards to Belos."

"We saw Hunter die."

"And we saw Luz die."

Amity, Eda, Raine, Lilith Camila and Luz's eyes went wide. "What?!"

King on the other hand, looked shocked. Remembering that he also had the same visions. "Weh?"

"Wait, Luz wasn't dead?" Hooty asked.

"And not just us, Sasha and Marcy saw as well." Anne said.

"Look, don't be mad, we didn't tell anyone because…"

"Because what?!" Amity exclaimed. "They had to happen?!" She had tears falling from her eyes as she held on to Luz to know if she was here. "You knew she was going to die and did nothing to warn her!"

"And Hunter?!" Luz exclaimed. "Does he know?! Or did he know?!"

"Luz, I made so many mistakes regarding…"

"You just stood there and watched her die!" Eda shouted.

Raine stood up from the nest and walked toward Eda. "Eda…I…I think Dipper and Anne didn't mean to find out."

"Well, they were seeing the signs in front of them happening and did nothing!" Luz exclaimed.

"You saw my Luz die and did nothing?!" Camila yelled.

The Collector floated in front of everyone. "Please don't be angry!"

Pacifica got in front of her boyfriend. "Hey, if I know Dipper, he probably had a good reason. Was it time travel?"

"Yeah. I might have accidentally invented burgers for Genghis Khan one time." Dipper replied.

Pacifica exhaled. "Oh, that's bad."

"So every bad thing that was going to happen, you, her, Sasha and Marcy knew?!" Eda's hand began to turn into a claw, causing Dipper to reach into his holster to pull out his gun to aim it at her. Remembering when she scratched him on his back. "And you stood there and let it happen?!" Her eyes began to turn black while Lilith and Raine tried to hold her back. "GET OUT!"

Pacifica, Dipper and Anne ran out of the house just as Eda was about to turn. They ran as fast as they could to avoid the wrath of Eda.

In the house, Eda had just drank a full bottle of elixir that was regurgitated from Hooty and reverted back to her witch self.

"There we go." Lilith said. "Better?"

"Yeah, I guess." Eda said. "But who does that Pines guy think he is?!" Eda began to pace around the room.

"Yeah! For the future?!" Luz exclaimed while Amity held on to her. "How about saving my keister?!"

"How did you know about the visions?" Raine asked The Collector.

"Marcy told me about them." The Collector replied. "She never meant harm. She didn't want to deny them. She wanted to find a solution to prevent them. But she couldn't." The Collector looked away. "Please stop yelling, I'm tired and I don't want to get angry."

"We have too much going on." Camila said. "Perhaps we need a good long rest."

"Yeah. The Collector and Luz's Mom are right." King said. "The Isles need rebuilding, we need to get everyone back to the Human Realm, get Grime and Yunan back to Amphibia, stop the Core, find the box, get Eda's stuff back, find Amity's Dad, what to do with The Collector, find out how Luz can do magic without her glyphs and….Honestly, we have so much to do that I'm sure I missed some things."

"Yeah, you're right little buddy." Luz picked up King and kissed his skull. "We need rest. You want a lift back to your place, Amity?"

Amity gave her girlfriend a tearful look. "No. Camila, Eda, is it okay if I stay here for a bit. Just so I know that Luz is still here?"

Eda and Camila gave each other a look before they gave some saddened smiles. "Alright kiddo."

"If it helps you sleep at night." Camila replied gently.

"Also, there's one thing." Luz said. "Hooty, you thought I was dead this whole time?"

"No. I thought everyone was dead." Hooty replied. "Including now!"

Everyone looked at each other with fear. Even though Hooty was once again speaking nonsense. They couldn't help that bad feeling in their stomachs since Hooty once again has successfully creeped them out.

Meanwhile, Dipper, Pacifica and Anne had ran far enough from the Owl House to avoid the wrath of Eda. They stopped by the Grom Tree to catch their breaths.

Pacifica groaned as she held to her stomach. "I haven't ran for like nine months. Damn! My stomach feels like it's on fire. I haven't ran like that in forever." She then turned to Dipper and Anne. "So wait, you two knew about Luz and Hunter dying?" She asked.

Dipper sighed sadly. "We did. I…Wanted to help. But…The White Wolf-"

"Wait! That wasn't in my vision!" Anne interjected. "What White Wolf?"

Pacifica's eyes widened. "Wait, you found the White Wolf?"

"Well, she found me." Dipper replied. "And yes, it's a she. Turns out she was the reincarnated form of my future apprentice."

Anne looked confused. "Okay, I don't get what's going on."

"There was a lot about Gravity Falls I didn't tell you." Dipper said to Anne. "The White Wolf or Dr Singer told me that Luz was going to die in order for the Demon Realm to be saved."

Pacifica sighed. "I mean…You can't argue with the future. But…How you kept it from her."

"What was I supposed to do?" Dipper asked. "Just make her worry?!"

"Yeah, I agree with him." Anne said. "She had a lot of stuff on her mind. Suicidal thoughts, a friend of her's getting killed, trying to find a way back home and her constant guilt of thinking you were dead. Which you clearly are not."

"And Hunter?" Pacifica reacted. "You knew he was going to die as well?!"

Dipper sighed. "I tried to prevent it. But he was dead. If it weren't for Flapjack then he wouldn't see you again. I…Know you're mad at me. You told me I should protect him. But I didn't know it was because Belos possessed him. The vision showed me Hunter dying, but not the reason. If I found out how Hunter was supposed to die, I would have done everything I could to prevent it. Blendin Blandin be damned."

Pacifica just wiped some tears falling down her face. "I should be mad at you and I am. But…I'm glad he's okay. Look Dipper, there's so much we need to talk about. Can we talk at Blight manor?"

Dipper sighed. "Okay. How mad at me are you?"

Pacifica shrugged. "I don't know if I want to. I've missed you so much." She took Dipper's hand in hers which surprised him a tad bit. But then they began to walk toward Blight Manor while Anne just stayed behind.

"I'm just gonna see Sasha." Anne declared. "I wonder how she's handling a bunch of kids?"

At Hexside, Sasha was walking around the corridor with Boscha, Bump, Grime, Yunan, Matt and Viney following her from behind.

"Bump, here is the situation…" Sasha said at a fast pace speed. "…Hexside is in disarray and an invasion is coming. I need you to make sure every child is reunited with their respective families while keeping everyone in one room so that way they can prepare for the invasion."

"I'll get the invasion room ready." Bump declared.

"I'm sorry, what?" Matt reacted.

"There's a room that was designed specifically for invasions." Bump explained. "A heavily fortified room where the residents can hide while everyone else defends themselves. It's a small door but it's bigger on the inside."

"Take them there Bump." Sasha said.

"Normally, I'd be offended with a child bossing me." Bump said. "But you are a Lieutenant so therefore I have no authority over you." They walked into the gym where Bump left the group while Sasha continued to explain the plan.

"Grimesy, I need you to explain the threat to everyone in attendance." Sasha said. "Tell them that while the robots are easy disposable trash, The Core will learn to adapt to this world and upgrade every one of their weapons to combat them."

"You got it." Grime said before leaving the group.

They walked out of the gym and into another corridor. "Yunan, I need you to help get the witchlets to sleep."

"You mean like…" Yunan made a slitting throat gesture.

"What?! No!" They briefly stopped. "Get them to sleep so they can have a consistent sleep cycle! For frog sake! Don't you ever think?!"

"Only battle strategies." Yunan said before walking into the room where the witchlets were waiting for a story. "Okay kids, who wants to hear the bloody tale of how I defeated Ragnar the Wretched?!" This caused the kids to cheer wildly.

Sasha sighed before she motioned everyone to follow her. "Matt, I need you to make sure we have enough food for everyone. There are going to be a lot of starving mouths."

Matt gave her a salute. "Got it." He walked through the secret wall to prepare the dishes.

"Viney, you and a lot of the medical students tend to the sick or injured." Sasha commanded. "And make sure the sick ones are healthy enough before you hand them off to their families."

"Aye! Aye!" She whistled, summoning her pet griffin, Puddles. She jumped on the griffin to tend to the injured.

Sasha and Boscha walked outside. "Anything you want me to do Miss President?" Boscha asked.

"Have you made sure Kikimora doesn't find her way back here?" Sasha asked.

"What do you think?" Boscha pointed to a flag pole that had Kikimora's clothes as a flag.

"You didn't disintegrate her by any chance?" Sasha asked. "I wouldn't care, she is a bitch."

"No, we just turned her robot to scrap metal and brought it back here to see if we could make parts out of them." Boscha said. "Plus, we stole all of Kikimora's clothes and left her out in the wild somewhere."

Somewhere in the forest, Kikimora was hiding behind a bush trying to remain warm. "Hello!" Kikimora cried. "I know I did some things that were terrible and sucked up to Belos but you can't leave a naked demon like this!"

Back at Hexside.

"I mean, I would have killed her but I didn't wanna get blood on me." Boscha explained.

"Okay." Sasha said. "Cat! Amelia! How are the shields?!"

"We're still working on them, Sasha!" Cat said. "The fauna has grown so long that the lever is kind of hard to find!"

"Wait, I found it!" Amelia popped her head from a bush revealing to hold a large stick. "No wait! Just a stick! Sorry!"

"Hey! Find it fast or otherwise you could be blown to smithereens!" Boscha commanded rudely. But then she realised how rude it sounded and sighed. "Please."

Sasha smiled at Boscha. "You have some decent friends. Try not to underestimate them."

Boscha huffed. "I don't underestimate them. I just think they're great teammates. And friends. Listen Sasha, I rarely do this to anyone…Since I'm not exactly the best person to do it….But thank you. Thank you for bringing them back."

"Hey, I made sure I found them." Sasha said. "They were on my mind the most."

"I should ask, why me?" Boscha asked. "Why am I interesting to you? Why did you take an interest in me?"

Sasha sighed. "When I first saw you and Kikimora together and what that little demon was doing to you, I saw something I didn't wish to see."

"You saw me as you didn't you?" Boscha asked. "I mean, our names do sound alike."

"No…" Sasha looked regretful. "…I saw Kikimora as me. And I saw you as someone I used to manipulate. I manipulated the most vulnerable people to get what I wanted. And that's what Kikimora was doing. She saw how vulnerable you were and thought you'd be easy to manipulate. I did the same to Anne and Marcy because all I wanted was power. But all it gave me was regret." Boscha began to stare at Sasha with sympathy. "And I got the marks to prove it." She points at the scar Anne gave her during the fight on Toad Tower. "I'm trying to be better is what I'm saying. I've been doing it for nearly a year."

Boscha's sympathetic stare just disappeared and she scoffed. "Power does sound cool but not that way….I guess. I've been trained to believe that being feared and looked up to as someone to fear and let everyone down is the best way. Is it?"

Sasha looked at Boscha. "Not really. I do think you have the right to be a better person. To show it's okay to be afraid or show how much you value everyone. That's real friendship and leadership, Hot Stuff."

As Boscha stared at her, she was seeing her glisten under the shining sun and the wind blow her natural blonde hair. It caused the witch's cheeks to turn a tad bit red.

"Got it!" Cat exclaimed.

"Great! Activate it!" Sasha commanded.

Cat pulled the lever and a giant orange shield appeared from the ground and covered the entire school from the front entrance and the back exit.

"So just to make sure, nothing can get through?" Sasha asked Boscha.

"Yup. Boiling rains, gorenadoes, beasts and…." Then, the sound of someone crashing into the shield was heard. The girls looked to the direction and saw that Anne had walked into the shield. Her body scraped down like she crashed into a window. "….Humans."

Anne crashed to the bottom and wiped some of the dust off of her. "Ow!"

"Sorry Anne." Sasha said. "We had to put this up in case of threats."

"Okay, but can you let me in?" Anne asked. "I don't think I'm allowed back at the Owl House?"

"Why?" Sasha asked.

"Luz found out we kind of saw the future which includes her death and keeping it a secret so she's pissed off at me you, Marcy and Dipper." Anne explained.

"Wait! Luz is going to die?!" Boscha exclaimed.

"No she did die." Sasha said. "But she will die someday. Just not today."

"Listen, could you let me in?" Anne asked. "I need a place to stay."

"Sorry Anne, can't risk containment." Sasha said.

"Aww what?!" Anne exclaimed. "Can't you just make an exception?!"

"You listen to the President's orders!" Boscha summoned a fire spell to intimidate her.

"Boscha, put it out." Boscha stared at Sasha with an alarmed look before putting it out.

"Yes! Yes! I'm sorry your grace!" Boscha gave a bow which caused Sasha and Anne to cringe.

"What in the name….Anyway, sorry Anne." Sasha said. "But this is for the safety of everyone in the shield. I hope you understand."

Anne sighed. "Okay. I hope Gus has enough room. Good luck Sash."

"You stay safe, Anne." Sasha said.

"Thanks, Sash." Anne said before departing to the Porter residence. "By the way, Glyphs don't work anymore because the Titan passed on or something. So no more flame sword."

Sasha was in wide eyed shock before she checked her sword. She touched the blade and groaned. "Dammit!" Once Anne was out of sight, Sasha turned to Boscha. "Boscha, what was that earlier?"

"Well, you know since I am your Vice President and I am lower on the command chain, that means…Well, ya know." Boscha panicked and got down on her knees. "I'm sorry! Please have mercy on me!"

Sasha stared at Boscha with sympathy before pulling her up. "Hey, Hot Stuff. None of that. Just because I'm leader doesn't mean you should grovel at my feet. Besides, you are my VP, I should respect you more than I should respect myself." Her words made Boscha stare at her with wide eyed surprise and her cheeks turned red again.

Then, they heard the sound of an explosion. "Sasha!" Grime cried. "Some of the babies got a hand of explosive potions! Help!"

Sasha sighed. "I'll be back. See you later, Hot Stuff. Make sure the shield is still up."

When Sasha began to walk inside of Hexside, Boscha was staring at her with wide eyes and red cheeks. No, she couldn't be. She couldn't be attracted to that human.

Cat and Amelia suddenly showed up behind Sasha with teasing grins. "Ooooh, does Boscha have a new girlfriend?" Boscha's face turned red with anger.

"What do you think their cute couple name would be?" Cat asked. "Sascha? Or Basha?"

Boscha groaned. "Shut up! I'm not attracted to that attractive human!" She froze and her entire face turned red. "Uh! Why is this happening?!" She stomped away to check on the shield while Cat and Amelia grinned.

"In love?" They asked at the same time. "Yes."

At Blight Manor, Marcy was in the lab trying to find out what to do with the robot heads. She gave them some stares before picking up a hammer. She began tapping one of the heads with the hammer, causing it to make a hollow clanging. "Hmmmm….What should I do?" Marcy then noticed a rat that looks like Alador staring at her while eating what looked like a cookie.

"Huh. You're a nice little rat aren't you?" The rat jumped over to the table and began snuggling Marcy. "Awww! You exactly like Alador. I wonder what name I should give you?" She began to think of one and then smiled. "Ratticus?" The rat nodded his head. "Ratticus it is!"

Then, she heard the front door open. "Oh, they're back." When she got upstairs from the basement, she saw that Dipper and Pacifica were kissing each other on the lips, rubbing their hands all over each other's bodies as they did. When she saw what they were doing, she walked back down in the basement. "Never mind."

Dipper and Pacifica continued their kissing session until Dipper pulled out. "I thought you were still mad."

"Shut up, I missed you!" Pacifica commanded before going back to kissing him.

They took off their shoes as they walked up the stairs together. Pacifica then grabbed the reactor off of Dipper's chest and placed it on a nearby table while unbuttoning more of the buttons on Dipper's shirt.

As they travelled along the corridor, Dipper began to feel his girlfriend's biceps before travelling to the back of her shirt where he lifted it so he could feel the bit of her skin.

They made it to the door of a bedroom where Pacifica helped unlocked the door. Dipper briefly opened his eyes while Pacifica took off his shirt, exposing his abs. What he was looking at was a very large bed made for two people.

"Uh…This is the master bedroom." Dipper said.

"No, this is Odalia's bedroom." Pacifica said while kissing his chest. "She made Alador sleep in the basement so he could keep working."

"When we rescue Mr Blight, we're going to make sure them two get a divorce." Dipper said.

The two went back to kiss where Dipper took off his girlfriend's shirt, exposing her abs. She rested her back on the bed on the bed while Dipper got on top of her. He stared at her abs for a moment, just admiring them but then got down to kissing each and every pack of muscle.

Pacifica exhaled happily missing the feeling of her boyfriend's lips all over her body. But then, she began to speak. "Hey Dipper."

"Hmm?" Dipper stopped kissing.

"You never told me you were an ab person." Pacifica said. "I would have gotten them sooner."

Dipper shrugged his shoulders. "Well, being with Wendy helped me realise it. Sorry."

"Hey, at least you tried moving on." Pacifica said. "By the way, I didn't say you could stop."

Dipper went back to kissing his girlfriend's abs. She was relaxed until she began to ask her boyfriend something. "Hey Dipper, do you mind if I ask, why did things end between you and Wendy?"

Dipper stopped kissing and crawled to his girlfriend's face. "Because I was still grieving for you. I went with Wendy because I felt alone. I didn't mean to use her as a rebound, but every time I was around her or kissing her, I felt guilty. It felt wrong. I felt I was betraying you. I guess a part of me felt you were alive. And it was right."

Pacifica sighed. "You know, you could have gone with any girl, but I'm glad it was Wendy. For a brief while anyway. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"How would you feel if I told you your Dad was killed by Belos?"

Pacifica pulled a shocked expression on her face. There were a lot of things she didn't expect to happen today. Being reunited with Dipper and Hunter, Luz's death, her boyfriend having the visions of the future, her boyfriend once dated Wendy and now her father is dead.

The woman just sat up on the bed and exhaled. "He's gone?"

Dipper nodded his head. "Yeah. He's gone. Dead."

"I see." Pacifica didn't know how to feel. On the one hand, she should be grateful that her Dad won't be able to hurt her anymore. But on the other hand, it was her father.

She tackled Dipper in a hug as tears fell from her eyes. "I don't know how to feel right now! I just don't know!"

Dipper was surprised by his girlfriend's reaction but then, just sighed as he returned the hug. "It's okay. It's okay to feel confused."

"I'm sorry." Pacifica sobbed.

"There's no need to apologise." Dipper said. "I don't know how to feel about all this. I hate that man more than anything. But if there's one thing he did that was amazing, it was to make sure that you were born."

Pacifica smiled as she hugged her boyfriend. "You're a dork but you always know how to make me feel better." They continued to hug each other for a good while just as the sun began to set.

A few hours later at the Park residence, Willow and Hunter were in her bed together. This caused a few eyebrows raised from her parents but they eventually allowed it after the stressful day they had. But they had to keep the door open three inches.

But unfortunately, neither of them couldn't get to sleep because of some thoughts rushing in their respective heads.

Willow was staring at Hunter's bare chest thinking about how she almost lost him yesterday due to Belos. While Hunter was struggling with his own thoughts.

"Snail for your thoughts?" Willow asked.

Hunter looked to his girlfriend and smiled sadly. "Okay. How do you feel about Belos' death?"

"After everything he has done, grateful." Willow said. "To you and to the Isles, why didn't he deserve it?"

Hunter stared at the ceiling while Willow wrapped her arm around Hunter's chest and stared at him. "Do you think he doesn't?"

"I don't know." Hunter said. "On the one hand, I'm glad that he is gone and he will never hurt anyone again. But on the other other hand, he did bring me to life. He raised me and he fed me and he taught me how to fight, how could I also not be sad?"

Willow wanted to say it was wrong to miss him. But Belos was still family to him no matter how hard he tried to deny it. An awful member of the family, but still a family.

"Does that make me stupid?" Hunter asked.

Willow sighed as she shuffled closer to her boyfriend. "No. It's confusing. To you. I know he was your uncle, but he did raise you. These feelings must be complicated to you."

"They are." Hunter said. "But, I'm happy he won't hurt anyone ever again." He turned to face his girlfriend. "Especially you."

Willow smiled and then she and Hunter shared a kiss. "I love you, Hunter."

"I love you too, Willow." They shared a second kiss before going back to a sleeping position.

Back at the Blight manor, Dipper and Pacifica was well were trying to sleep but there were still things that were currently on their mind.

Pacifica was facing the window looking out at the moonlight while Dipper was staring at the back of her head while her hand rested in her stomach and his finger circled her belly button.

They were still thinking about everything going on such as the shocking news of Pacifica learning that her father died at the hands of Belos. Dipper on the other hand didn't know how to talk to Luz after what had happened between them.

"Can't sleep?" Pacifica asked.

"How could you tell?" Dipper asked.

"Because your finger has been circling my belly button for the last 25 minutes." Pacifica replied.

"Do you want me to stop?" Dipper asked.

"For now." Pacifica turned to face him and began to stare at him with an expression that said that she was possibly stressed.

"You can't sleep either?" Dipper asked.

"It's just…Today has been stressful." Pacifica replied. "I mean, I just have a lot of information thrown at me like that." She snapped her fingers. "Plus, the Core has Alador. I thought he was a puppet but…Damnit! This is worse than I expected."

"Well, things are scary right now." Dipper said. "But I promise we will figure it out. Together."

Pacifica gave a tired smile. "I hope so." She and him began to share a kiss.

They began to rub their hands and abs against one another's, feeling every detail and goosebump on their skin.

Then, Pacifica removed her lips from Dipper's. "I love you."

"I love you too." Dipper responded while she began to start kissing him from his chest to his navel and to the point where she began to unbuckle his pants.

Downstairs, Marcy slept peacefully on the couch with drool falling from her mouth and Ratticus in her arms, not listening to the loud thumping noises coming from upstairs.

Meanwhile, Odalia was walking in the forest wiping the cuts on her face from the barrage of punches from Yunan. "Betrayed by my own family, imprisoned by a child, beaten by an amphibian, Belos killed and now, I have nothing left! No money, no family, no power!"

"You strive for power?" Odalia screamed and turned around to see her husband standing there dressed in some dark brown armour and bright glowing orange eyes.

"Alador?" Odalia reacted. "What in the name of Titan are you wearing?"

"You want power?" Alador asked. "I can give you it and a chance to live forever."

Back at the Owl House, Eda and Raine were sleeping peacefully in their nest in Eda's bedroom with a blanket covering them or bodies to add extra warmth.

Lily was sleeping on a single bed in the basement, The Collector summoned.

While Luz was sleeping in-between Amity and Camila sharing a more king-sized one that The Collector also summoned in Luz's bedroom.

Whereas everyone was sleeping peacefully, Luz couldn't. She felt something was wrong and that's because there was. She looked at the end of the bed there was a mini blanket with no one there. Turns out this was where King was sleeping only he wasn't there.

Luz carefully got out of bed still dressed in her Good Witch Azura outfit in an attempt to not wake up either Amity or Camila.

But she somehow woke up her girlfriend, who stared at her with a concerned expression. "Luz?"

"I'm going to check up on King." Luz said. "He probably can't sleep."

"Okay, I'll come with." Amity said, taking her girlfriend's hand.

"You don't need to hold my hand." Luz assured her. "I'll be fine."

"It's for me." Amity admitted. "I just need to know if you're here."

Amity still hasn't felt good ever since learning of her girlfriend's temporary death. So Luz just hugged her girlfriend and kissed her head. "I'm not going anywhere, Sweet potato. I promise."

Amity felt tears coming in and gave her girlfriend a small kiss on her lips. "Please don't die. Please don't die again."

"I won't." Luz assured her.

When they got downstairs, they saw that King was staring out the window while standing on the arm of the couch.

Luz approached King and sat down next to him. "King?"

King turned to face Luz with a regretful face. "Luz…I should have told you something."

"What is it?" Luz asked.

"I….Saw your death as well." King admitted. Luz gasped as well as Amity looking shocked. "I didn't want to tell you because I thought it was just a nightmare but when I saw you turn into balls of light…." King had tears falling from his eyes. "….I knew that it wasn't a dream. I…Luz, please don't be mad at me like you were with Dipper and Anne. They probably didn't mean it."

Luz sighed and hugged her Titan. "Ohhh King. I don't want to be mad at you. Let alone I don't want to be mad at anyone else. Did I overreact to them telling me?"

"A little." King admitted.

"But you do understand why I was mad with them, right?" Luz asked.

"You felt like your own team betrayed you?"

"I guess so." She then looked out the window to see The Collector looking out in the night sky by his lonesome.

Luz, King and Amity looked out of the window to see The Collector looking remorseful while also thinking of his past.

They walked outside just to check on them. "Collector?" Amity asked.

"Is everything okay?" King asked.

The Collector turned to face them. They gave a tired smile. "It's okay. I'm okay. I just want to spend some time thinking if that's okay. I'll be back in, I promise."

"Okay, but don't stay out too long." King advised. "Boiling Isles can get cold. Like seriously, I once got myself frozen when I stayed out too long."

The Collector smiled. "Okay. Goodnight guys."

"Goodnight." The trio said before closing the door and going back up the stairs to bed.

Once they were gone, The Collector gazed into the night sky with a bittersweet stare. He wondered if his brothers were watching and how they would react to them befriending Titan. Or who they were as a person. Or who he should be without being so obsessed with playing.

All these thoughts raced into his mind just as a bright light shined upon them.
