Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

On Nerraw, Warren led the little group to a cafe, so they could talk and catch up. Finn filled his siblings and BMO in on his and Phoebe's adventures. He talked about meeting his mom, Atalanta, hearing how his parents met, forgiving Martin, celebrating Christmas, saving the world of Hyrule, and fighting Shadow Spite and Dominator. Jake filled Finn and Phoebe on what had been going on in Ooo. He talked about the discovery of the virtual world of Gravity Falls living in it, the Pines family and their friends living at the Ice Kingdom and scouting out a new home for the other humans, saving Christmas, rediscovering Gata and having her back in their lives, a few crazy adventures he heard about, and finally about arriving on Nerraw, meeting Warren, and his destiny. Gata filled Finn and Phoebe about her own crazy adventures. Finn looked at Gata with a bit of sadness.

"I'm sorry for what you had to go through all that be turned into a statue stuff and that whole get almost killed by wizards biz." Said Finn.

"It's ok bro. Dad was just doing what he thought was best to protect me. I'm not mad at him and I've already made peace with him. That whole business about learning who my parents were and the portal inside was crazy, but Simon and some other wizards fixed me up and dealt with the guys, who tried to kill me. Its been a rough adjustment, but you just have to play the hand your dealt." Said Gata.

"We just have to keep moving forward." Said Finn in a agreement.

"This has been nice and all, but Jake and I must keep going to Sacred Temple of Pannishment to retrieve the Panzark to defeat Ishcano." Said Warren.

"Ok pop lead the way to the temple and we can get to world saving." Said Jake.

Warren lead the group outside the city and towards an ancient looking blue temple. Finn and the others took in the scenery as they walked. Gata took notice of a small grey cave opening and saw what appeared to be a skeletal hand sticking out near the opening. Getting curious Gata ran towards the cave. The others saw her do this and followed after her. Warren saw where they were calling and yelled at them to stop, but his voice was weak and the others didn't hear him and he couldn't quite keep up and got left behind. Gata reached the cave and saw that the arm was attached to a blue skeleton with little patches of withered blue skin on it. She tried to look inside the cave and look inside it, but couldn't see anything in the darkness. Finn and the others arrived and saw the skeleton. Phoebe became curious about what was in the cave, so she conjured up a fireball and used it to shine light into the cave. The light revealed a large cavern filled with various skeletons scattered about. Finn, Jake, and the others stared at the cavern in horror as Warren finally caught up to the group.

"What...is all of this?" Asked Jake looking at Warren.

"I...didn't want you to see this. These are the bodies of...Ishcano's victims. Some of...these beings were taken by surprise, while others tried to fight the monster. All...of them met the same fate." Said Warren sadly.

"Why are they in this cave?" Asked Gata.

"This cave is a sacred burial chamber. It is the custom of our people to lay the bodies of the dead in a cave." Explained Warren.

"Guess that makes sense." Said Jake.

"Come Jake we must hurry. We can avenge the lives that were lost and save the lives of countless others by killing Ishcano." Said Warren.

Jake nodded in agreement and Warren lead everyone to the temple. Warren explained that the only way to open the temple was to use Jake's stretching abilities. Jake entered a large tube and began to stretch his body and limbs through a series of different tubes, until he unlocked the temple doors. Jake exited the tube looking very tired and winded. Jermaine helped his brother stand and walk as they entered the temple. Warren lead the way at a brisk pace barely using his staff and looking a bit healthier then he was a little while ago. Gata took note of this and scowled at Warren's back as they moved on. They soon reached a chamber where they found a large blue obelisk with legs and tubes on it.

"The Panzark." Said Warren indicating the device.

Jake got his second wind and grabbed the device. The group exited the temple and headed back to Warren's place. The Panzark was placed outside the house. Jake was looking incredibly tired and ragged after the little adventure, so he retired early to his room. Warren showed the others to some guest rooms. Finn, Jermaine, were sharing a room and Gata, BMO, and Phoebe shared a room. Warren who was looking a bit healthier and fit said goodnight to his guest and retired to his room.

In the the room that Gata, BMO, and Phoebe were sharing, Gata was pacing the room and seem to be thinking hard about something.

"What are you thinking about?" Asked Phoebe.

"Well you know that Joshua and Margaret were detectives?" Asked Gata.

Phoebe and BMO nodded having heard this info from Finn and Jake.

"Well they taught me to observe my surroundings and pay attention to the details. If something you see is giving an odd vibe and doesn't seem right, you should follow your instincts and investigate it." Said Gata.

"You think something is wrong with this place?" Asked BMO.

"I do and I think we might find some answers at that cave we saw today." Said Gata.

"I'm with you. This whole place does feel a little weird." Said Phoebe.

The trio snuck out a window and headed towards the cave. Unbeknownst to them a six blue alien citizens were following them. The trio reached the cave and went inside. Phoebe provided some light and Gata began to examine the bodies. There seemed to be no sign of physical damage or anything on the bodies. Gata had read Joshua and Margaret's detective books along with some of Doctor Princess's medical books, so she knew what to look for, but she wasn't finding anything that would indicate a death from a physical attack. Then she spotted something carved into the floor next to one of the bodies. It was some words written in English.

"This world is a lie." Said Gata as she read the words.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Asked Phoebe.

The gears in Phoebe's mind began to turn as she started to slowly piece the puzzle together and she wasn't liking what she was seeing.

"We need to see Jake right now." Said Gata with a serious tone in her voice.

It was then the blue aliens attacked the mouth of the cave with enlarged fist and stretchy arms. The attack caused the mouth of the cave to collapse trapping Gata, BMO, and Phoebe inside.

Back at Warren's place, Warren was sitting in his room in a meditating position with his eyes closed. He soon opened his eyes, stood up, and walked over to a mirror to look at himself. Warren was looking a bit younger with less wrinkles and a healthier shade of blue skin.

"That takes care of those three. Now I just have to deal with the other two and make sure Jake fulfills his destiny. Everything will be great after that." Said Warren to himself as he smiled at his reflection.
