Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.

Jenka and the others put out the fire on the house remains, before going to stand next to a distraught Toriel, who was staring at the tunnel that Mom had fled with Isaac.

"She...took him." Said Toriel.

"Don't you worry Toriel will get him back." Said Jenka.

The group searched the wreckage of the house for some travel supplies and they headed down the tunnel. Jenka used a tracking spell to help them follow Mom and Isaac.

Mom ran through the snowy landscape of Snowdin carrying Isaac. She had done it! Mom had finally captured Isaac! Now all she needed to do was kill the child and her holly mission would be complete. Isaac just hung limply from Mom's arms too paralyzed by fear and dread to do anything. Mom found a large clearing and began to look for anything that she could use as a weapon. Her eyes landed on a rock the size of her head and she set Isaac down and picked it up. Isaac stood before Mom trembling in fear. His worst nightmare was about to come true! Isaac couldn't fight Mom and he was too scared to run away. Perhaps it would be for the best to just let Mom kill him and get it over with.

"Don't be afraid son. It'll be quick." Said Mom in an almost soothing voice as she prepared to slam the rock into Isaac's skull.

Isaac closed his eyes expecting to feel pain, but instead all he heard was a tiny whoosh sound followed by a loud thud. He opened his eyes in confusion to find Mom lying on her back unconscious with a dart in her neck. Before Isaac could do anything, he felt a tiny prick in his neck and he fell to the ground unconscious.

Lunar stepped out from behind a tree holding a dart gun. He couldn't believe his good luck at finding the two humans. The Doctor would be very pleased. Lunar wrapped the humans in a net and dragged them to his motorcycle, which he called Cerberus Alpha. The machine had armor that resembled a wolf, was equipped with several weapons, and had the ability to transform into a giant robotic wolf. Lunar loaded the humans onto Cerberus Alpha and took off for Hotland.

In Snowdin village both Endol and Merak had split up from Lunar to search the village for humans. Endol was walking down a street, when he came across a wall with various posters some of which were advertising the Sibling Showdown. Endol studied the poster and a idea began to form in his mind. Not many people knew, but the gigantic bird creature Baruda was Endol's younger brother. Endol decided that he and Baruda should enter the tournament and win the wish. He was a loyal follower of the Doctor, and the Doctor had many enemies in the Underground who would likely enter the tournament and win the wish for themselves and possibly use it against the Doctor and his forces. Endol would win the wish to help the Doctor and his cause. He let out a chuckle as he went back to his mission of searching for humans.

Miles away at the Gunslinger Lich's lair, Laser Wizard's group and Chi's group were gathered around a large dinning table. The Gunslinger Lich sat at the head of the table with Gnarl by his side. Gnarl whispered to Gunslinger Lich who looked over at Chi and her friends.

"Gnarl has told me that you all met Elise and you're interested in how I fixed her to serve me." Said Gunslinger Lich.

Chi and her friends nodded their heads.

"You see living things will adapt an alternate personality, when they are put through a incredible amount of stress or trauma. I simply applied this to Elise and put her through several different stressful situations to make an alternate personality to emerge and when it did I took it one step further." Said Gunslinger Lich.

"What do you mean?" Asked Samantha.

"When the alternate personality emerged I used my powers to separate it from Elise and I created another Elise. My first Elise copy was a wild thing that I was forced to put in a cage, but my second one is a great success and a ideal warrior. I plan to create a dozen more Elise copies in the future." Said Gunslinger Lich with a chuckle.

"Good for you." Said Samantha with a fake smile on her face.

In reality Samantha was absolutely disgusted with Gunslinger Lich's actions and had to resist the urge to use her arm cannons to blast the Gunslinger Lich and Gnarl to bits. Samantha knew that the Gunslinger Lich was probably a lot stronger then he appeared and she had no idea how Laser Wizard and his group might react to such an action, though there was a high probability they would defend the Gunslinger Lich and fight alongside him. The cyborg glanced at her friends who she could tell they were thinking the same thing as her. Alcor looked over at Samantha and she shook her head. It was a bad idea to attack, but the group did plan to take action.

As they all ate lunch, Chi and her friends began to wonder if the Lich was like the Gunslinger Lich. It did make sense since the Gunslinger Lich had once been a physical part of the Lich. The thought really sent a shiver down the group's spine and made them feel uncomfortable about serving a twisted being like the Lich. After lunch Chi asked Gnarl for a map of the Underground, which Gnarl provided.

With a map to help them navigate the Underground the friends came up with a plan to get Else out of her cell and away from the Gunslinger Lich. They snuck down to the dungeon and Kai used her powers to travel through shadows to enter the cell and appear next to Elise.

"What are you doing?" Cried Elise in surprise.

"We're busting you out and setting you free." Said Kai.

"No I can't leave!" Cried Elise.

Kai grabbed Elise and they sank into the shadows together and traveled into Chi's shadow. Kai's righthand rose from the shadow and gave a thumbs up. The group exited the dungeon, located Laser Wizard and told him that they were going to explore the Underground. Laser Wizard waved them off and the group exited the lair and headed off to explore the Underground, but unbeknownst to Chi or her companions, Toffee had been spying on them and had witnessed what had taken place in the dungeon.

"Interesting. It seems like some of the members of our little band have decided to go rogue and play hero. A bit unexpected, but this might be useful for the quest." Thought Toffee to himself.

Chi and her friends traveled a few miles from the Gunslinger Lich's lair and into Snowdin, where they decided it was safe for Kai and Elise to rise out of Chi's shadow. Elise tried to run away from the group, but Samantha grabbed her.

"No! I have to go back! They'll find me and punish me!" Cried Elise.

"You don't have to go back. I promise you that we will protect you from them." Said Samantha.

"But they're dangerous!" Cried Elise as she continued to struggle.

"So are we. We can take care of ourselves." Said Alcor.

"Why...are you helping me?" Asked Elise as she stopped struggling.

"Because what was happening to you was completely disgusting. No one has the right to treat another living thing like that." Said Samantha as she let Elise go.

"I had a best friend who was getting horribly mistreated and I should have helped her as soon as I found out about it. She got away from her abusers thanks to the help of another friend and I made a promise to myself that if I ever came across someone being abused I would do everything in my power to save them." Said Chi.

"Who are you people?" Asked Elise looking at the group.

"Just a band of friends and oddballs hoping to do a little good in the world." Said Samantha.

"You really think you can help me?" Asked Elise.

"That's what the plan. Will get you out of this mountain and back to your home dimension." Said Chi.

"But first a change in wardrobe." Said Nyx zapping Elise with a bit of magic.

Elise's gown and slippers changed into a white shirt, a blue skirt, and shoes.

"Whoa! Thanks!" Said Elise with a smile.

"You're welcome." Said Nyx.

The little group pressed onward into the Underground.

Meanwhile miles away in another part of Snowdin, the X-Nauts were still digging and Crump was secretly hoping they wouldn't find anything, since a failure like this would make Fawful look bad to Grodus. Unfortunately things rarely ever went Crump's way. A couple of X-Nauts began to excitedly shout as they pulled a large white star shaped crystal out of the ground. Fawful went up to the find holding a small grey rectangular device that began to beep loudly. The little green being's smile grew wider. They found a Crystal Star!

"The victor is me!" Sang Fawful.

The X-Nauts cheered as Midbus produced a boom box and held it over his head as it played music. Fawful and Sammy began to dance as Crump just groaned in dismay.

From their hiding spot, Resourceful Rat and his gang couldn't believe their luck. They had landed on the mother load! With the power of the Crystal Star the band of thieves could really make a name for themselves and start rolling in riches. Now all they simply had to do was wait for the Legion of Light to arrive on the scene to fight the X-Nauts and in the confusion Resourceful Rat and his crew would steal the Crystal Star.

The X-Naut diggers began to pack up their gear and the Crystal Star was placed in a red treasure chest. After everything was packed up the group prepared to march towards Spirit's lair in Hotland. Crump found himself looking up at the sky desperately wishing for some form of disaster to happen, so he could prove his usefulness and skills. He saw a twinkle in the sky a few several stars came crashing down from below and exploded around the group causing chaos and confusion as X-Nauts were sent flying. The air was filled with smoke as someone spoke.

"Nice shooting Mr. Shine. That should really shake them up."

The smoke soon cleared to reveal Luminous with Mr. Bright and Mr. Shine by his side and a couple dozen large beetle and mantis warriors with glowing orange eyes surrounding the X-Nauts. The beetles carried swords, while the mantises simply used their sharp appendages as weapons.

"Fink-rats!" Snarled Fawful shaking his fist at the Legion of Light.

"We got a tip that you leeches were digging around here, now we shall purge you from this world you disgusting shadows." Said Luminous.

"Oh you'll be the ones getting destroyed!" Said Crump taking a fighting stance.

"Legion of Light expunge these shadows!" Ordered Luminous.

"X-Nauts battle formation!" Yelled Crump.

Mr. Bright flew into the air and became a large sun that unleashed a intense concentrated beam of fiery energy at the ground. The X-Nauts scattered to avoid getting hit by the beam, but a few unlucky troopers got hit and were burnt to a crisp. Mr. Bright returned to the ground and the rest of the Legion of Light charged forward.

"Ball formation!" Ordered Crump.

The X-Nauts grouped together and formed a giant ball. Crump jumped on top of the ball and began to run and made the ball roll forward. The ball rolled over several of the bug warriors and squished them to death. Luminous let out an angry snarl and fired a light energy blast at the ball. The ball exploded sending X-Nauts flying and crashing everywhere. Crump was sent flying high into the air and managed to land on top of Luminous and delivered a few punches to his face. Luminous shoved Crump off of himself and began to fire light lasers at him forcing Crump to retreat.

Soon all out war broke out between the two factions. Midbus, Fawful, and Sammy stood around the chest protecting it as they looked for a way out. Resourceful Rat decided it was time for him and his crew to spring into action. The band of thieves charged forward throwing smoke bombs into the crowd of fighters, which added to the confusion. Pluto lead the way smashing any bugs or X-Nauts that got in his way as Resourceful Rat, Popple, and Croco. The thieves soon reached their target and Midbus got in their way.

"None shall pass!" Bellowed Midbus as he tucked into a ball and rolled at a fast speed towards Pluto.

Pluto stuck out his hands and intercepted the rolling Midbus. Sparks flew from Pluto's hands as they made contact with Midbus's spinning form. Pluto gritted his teeth as he tossed Midbus high into the air. Midbus got out of his ball form and then he fell from the air and body slammed Pluto into the ground with a thunderous crash!

"Pluto!" Cried Popple and Croco in alarm.

Pluto groaned as Midbus pulled himself off of him. Midbus turned his attention to the other thieves, but before he could go after them, he felt a hand on his shoulder followed by a powerful punch to the face that sent him reeling back. Pluto was back on his feet and ready to continue fighting. Midbus let out a roar as punched Pluto in the face and sent him reeling back. Both fighters roared as they began to furiously punch one another.

Fawful, Sammy, and the thieves watched the slugfest go on for several seconds before turning their attention to each other. Resourceful Rat saw that Fawful still had the Crystal Star tracking device in his hand. Knowing the device could be a problem, Resourceful Rat threw a kunai knife at it, knocking it from Fawful's hand and destroyed it. Fawful cried out in both anger and surprise as Popple and Croco threw flash bombs at him and Sammy that blinded them. Resourceful Rat and his comrades rushed over to the chest and threw it open. The rodent criminal grabbed the Crystal Star and turned to Pluto.

"Time to put those legs of yours to the test!" Called Resourceful Rat.

Pluto knocked Midbus back and ran over to the rest of the gang. He scooped them all up and bent his knees.

"Blastoff!" Roared Pluto before he leaped high into the air.

The bandits soared through the air away from the fighting with the Crystal Star. They had succeeded in their heist!

Elsewhere in Snowdin, Sans and Papyrus had the Gravity Falls team and their protectors to a large cave with many large crystal spikes sticking out of the ground with crystal balls hovering above them. The explorers stared at the hovering crystal balls in awe.

"Welcome to the Crystal Cave!" Said Papyrus.

"It's one of the great wonders of the Underground." Said Sans.

"What's the deal with this place?" Asked Dipper.

"Long ago, Ballos, Jenka, and a few other powerful magic users discovered that the crystals in this cave possessed the unique magical ability to look into other universes of the multiverse. Ballos and Jenka crafted and shaped many of the crystals into balls to better look into the other universes." Explained Sans.

"So all we have to do is look into any one of these crystal balls to see a different universe?" Asked Ford.

"Pretty much." Said Sans.

"Observe." Said Papyrus indicating one crystal ball.

Everyone peered closely and saw what appeared to be a bar with two human men eating hamburgers. What really got the group's attention was that the two men wearing clothes exactly like Sans and Papyrus! They were looking at a universe where Sans and Papyrus were humans!

"That is so cool dude!" Exclaimed Soos.

The group was filled with excitement as they split up to look at the crystal balls. Each ball showed a different universe. There was a universe made of zombies, a shadowy universe full of vampires and werewolves, a robot universe, a universe full of fish people and aquatic beings, a black and white universe were everyone seemed to be cartoons, and many more.

Finn and Phoebe were looking at one crystal ball that showed what appeared to be Fionna and Balder fighting their way through a monster infested dungeon with smiles on their faces.

"I think we're looking at Aaa." Said Finn.

"I think so too." Said Phoebe.

Fionna and Balder finished off the last of the monsters and then they kissed, which made Finn and Phoebe smile before moving on to look at some more crystal balls. They saw a universe where Finn was a Flame Person and was with a human Phoebe, a universe where Finn fell in love with Marceline, a universe where Finn fell in love with Lucinda, a universe where Finn fell in love with Gearga, a universe where Phoebe fell in love with Lance, a universe where Phoebe fell in love with Henry, and a universe where Phoebe fell in love with Drake.

"Man there's a lot of different universes." Said Finn.

"Yeah agreed." Agreed Phoebe.

Stan was looking at one crystal ball that showed the Void, where Rob and Bobert were loading Robin and the other Titans into cannons and firing them at a large patch of cacti. The Titans screamed in pain as they collided with the cacti and Stan burst out laughing.

Gata, Jake, and Heckapoo looked at a crystal ball that showed Subspace and the form of Tabuu floating. The three stared at Tabuu not sure what to make of him. Tabuu just looked forward and Gata had the feeling that he was looking at her and the others.

Finn and Phoebe looked at another crystal ball that showed a strange version of Simon wearing a blue tunic fighting Phoebe, while that universe's version of Finn watched the fight with great enjoyment on his face. The crystal ball then showed Marceline and Bubblegum kissing each other passionately.

"That's a...strange universe." Said Finn.

"My sister hates Bubblegum. I am so not telling her about this." Said Phoebe.

"Agreed." Said Finn.

The group continued to explore the cave, when a voice spoke out.

"I see there's a group of new arrivals enjoying my father's cave."

Everyone turned to the center of the room to see a tall white humanoid wearing a white dress and crown. The newcomer appeared to be transparent, had a featureless face, and two long red clawed hands with silver jewelry on them.

"Spirit!" Said Sans as his body tensed up.

The heroes recognized the name from Toriel's story and they immediately attacked. The two Eliminators fired their lasers, the six Wizard Cops fired spells from their wands, and Huntress Wizard and Hunter Wizard fired arrows. The attacks went through Spirit and seemed to cause her no harm at all.

"You fools can't harm. I am the invincible supreme ruler of the Underground." Said Spirit.

A Wizard Cop took off his boots and hurled them at Spirit. The boots harmlessly went through Spirit. Spirit stretched her arm out and grabbed the cop and hurled him into his fellow officers knocking them all down. She then went about attacking the others with her arms and claws forcing them to dodge about.

Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Rain, and Wendy ended up on one side of the cave. Pacifica pulled out her bow and took aim at Spirit. As Pacifica was taking aim, Dipper studied Spirit and her claws and came up with a plan.

"Shoot the claws!" Yelled Dipper.

Pacifica fired her bow and her arrow struck Spirit's lefthand.

"Aaaaaaaaa!" Screamed Spirit as she reeled back in pain.

"Yes!" Said Pacifica as she prepared another arrow.

"You brat! I'll send you to a living nightmare!" Declared Spirit as she yanked the arrow out of her hand.

Spirit slashed the air with her claws and created a portal in the air. The portal flew through the air and engulfed Dipper, Pacifica, Mabel, Rain, and Wendy and vanished.

"Kids!" Cried Ford and Stan.

"Where did you send them?" Demanded Huntress Wizard.

"To the most dangerous place Snowdin. Now I think I'll send some of you on a trip as well." Said Spirit as she created a couple more portals and flung them at the group.

One portal engulfed Gata, Heckapoo, BMO, and Soos and the other engulfed Rock Wizard, Gideon, Ser Manuell, Hunter Wizard, and a Eliminator and vanished. Finn let out a roar and leaped at a roar and leaped at Spirit, who simply just shank into the ground and vanished. The remaining explorers looked at one another in stunned silence. Members of the team had been taken and they were in separate locations in the Underground.

To be continued.
