Welcome back folks

The Mystery Twins of Sparda Ch 3
"So let me get this straight...You not only falsified a mission report, retrieved information about Dipper and Mabel's family, and almost endangered my team so that you could simply ask them to join?!" Wendy huffed.
All CPU could do was shrug his shoulders.
"Pretty much." He answered honestly.
"Here's an idea...How about i don't know...ASKING THEM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON WOULD?!" Wendy angrily replied.
CPU sighs.
"Look Wendy, I understand where your concern is coming from. But I've seen them fight someone like Faust Stein and his pets, and believe me, we have sent knights to capture that man, either ended up dead or apart of his lab experiments. I wanted to see how well twins would against anyone trained knights lower than S rank." CPU states.
"Wait, so there's a ranking system?" Dipper asked.
"Yep. In the order, there are exactly 5 ranks. Our ranks depend on our skills, performance, and kills. D rank is for weak and inexperienced knights. C is an average rank for knights who are above D ranks. And those 3 you two fought were all C-rank." CPU explained.
That information caused Mabel to break out in laughter.
"NO WAY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NO WONDER THEY COULDN'T BEAT US!" Mabel exclaimed.
"HEY! Just because we're low rank doesn't mean we're weak!" Sam argued.
"It kind of does Sam. Why do you think we did this?" Razor said dejected. As much as he hated to admit, with how they fought the twins, you might as well labeled them garbage.
"Hey, none of that. I understand you guys feel inadequate, but you have to remember you guys started out last year and your still green. Trust me, it took me a while to become A rank." Wendy assured.
Razor rolled his eyes. "No offense Wendy, but you were trained by the daughter of Tamashi clan! Of course you were going to become A rank!"
"While that is true Razor, it still took me 5 years to become an A rank knight. You guys have to be remain patient. Besides, you three have the ability to make it far, especially you Razor." Wendy said while smiling.
Razor stops his mopping and looked flustered. "Well...When you say it like that..."
This time it was Sam who rolled her eyes.
'Always acting different when Wendy compliments him.' Thought Sam.
"Anyway can we go back to the ranking system?" Dipper said.
"Right. B-rank knights are those above average for a knight. Not only are they stronger than D and C ranks, but they are allowed to take solo missions. Plus they have the potential to become A rank. Now for A-rank knights, they are held upon a high standard by the Order of the Sword, they are strong enough to take down a hundred demons without breaking a sweat. They can also recruit new knights to join the Order of the Sword and be their teacher." CPU explained.
"Like me." Wendy pointed to herself.
"I'll be honest Wendy, I've never expected you to be the teaching type." Dipper said.
"Well, things change." Wendy answered.
"If I can explain without being interrupted that would be nice. Anyway, then there's S-rank knights, they are the strongest demon hunters here in Gravity Falls. They are the knights to call upon if all else fails. We hold a higher standard than A-rank knights. Our job is to make sure the Order of the Sword doesn't fall."
"We? Your an S-rank? I don't know...You don't really scream the strongest." Mabel said to CPU.
"I'd believe him if I were you Mabel. He may look weak and scrawny."
"Really? You had to go there?" CPU responded back annoyed.
"But I've seen what he can do against demons. Underestimating him is a bad idea." Wendy warned her friend.
"So how many S-ranks are there?" Dipper asked.
"6 S-ranks, originally we were 8 but-"
Wendy quickly motioned for CPU to stop. He raised an eyebrow but he did what Wendy wanted. Though it wasn't unnoticed by the twins.
"Right, our leader of the S-rank is Tamashi's head's bitch daughter." CPU explained.
He was then punched in the shoulder by Wendy.
"Hey! What have I told you about making fun of her!?" Wendy stated a bit angrily.
"Wonder what's that all about?" Dipper wondered.
"Hmph! Isn't obvious?" Dipper and Mabel turned to Razor.
"Wendy is super grateful to Shinsetsu Tamashi." Razor said.
"Why's that?" Dipper asked.
"Because she raised-"
Before Razor could finish, Sam placed her hand over Razor's mouth.
"Don't listen to Razor! All he ever does is spout bullshit!" Sam said while smiling.
"Shinsetsu Tamashi is part of the Tamashi clan known for killing demons in a intriguing way, the art goes way...way...way back. And her father is even stronger than her and he is also the descendant of the only original Order of the Knights that survived." CPU explained. The man then sighed heavily.
"Look I apologize for doing what I did to you two, but think of this as a great opportunity. Your descendant Nero was proclaimed as a hero even though he is part demon. Wouldn't you want to make your descendant proud by saving the lives of humans from these monsters from Hell?" CPU asked.
"That's the thing, we've been doing that since we've been 13! And we don't need an organization to kill demons. We're just really good at it." Mabel answered.
CPU turned to Dipper, awaiting his response.
"What my sister is trying to say is, while we thank you for offering us a spot in your organization, and for giving us more information about our family, we have been sufficient enough at killing demons for 5 years. And like you said, Order of the Sword seems to be doing fine without us. I don't know why you would want us to join." Dipper calmly replied.
CPU rubbed his hair in annoyance.
"Okay look, I understand you two haven't been to Gravity Falls for 5 years right?"
"Yeah..." Mabel said.
"Well after that hell on Earth that was...And I can't believe I'm saying this...Weirdmageddon, more demons have been popping around in Gravity Falls." CPU said with a grim expression.
"He's right." They all turned to Wendy.
"You recalled how that asshat Bill managed to warp Gravity Falls? Thanks to that, portals from Hell have been popping out here in this town and thats how demons are entering Gravity Falls." Wendy explained.
"Odd, we never saw any of that after we defeated Bill." Dipper said.
"That's because the demons we've encountered are smart enough not to expose themselves in broad daylight, even though they could kill normal humans on sight. There has been tons of reports about people going missing, by the time I joined the Order of the Sword, I realized the truth, those people were killed by demons." Wendy continued.
"Dipper while I agree that our organization has kept things under control for the most part, it still doesn't change that fact that the more demons appear in this town, the bigger the casualties are going to be. Even people in our own organization has been killed by demons and that hasn't stopped in the past 5 years since our headquarters moved to this town. Despite the fact that we have qualified demons hunters, we are all still human. I've seen good people slaughtered before my own eyes. You two...Even though you have the blood of the monsters that have taken innocent lives, you use that demon power to protect lives, do more than what we humans can do...I'll ask again, will you join the Order of the Sword to protect the lives of everyone in this town?" CPU states in a pleading matter.
The Pines twins look at each other for a moment, before the eyes draw to the dark haired man with blue lines.
"...Alright CPU, we'll join the Order of the Sword." Dipper said.
CPU then flashed a grin.
"Great! I'm so glad-"
"But only if you agree to a few of our stipulations." Dipper finished.
CPU lost his smile and stared at Dipper in confusion.
"Huh?"
"You heard my brother, if you want us to join the Order of the Sword, you have to agree to our conditions!" Mabel said while grinning.
CPU looks to Wendy.
"Wendy...Can't you convince them to join without pleading demands?" CPU asked Wendy.
Wendy just cackles at CPU's frustration.
"Can't help you dude! You dug your own grave, now you gotta lay in it!" Wendy said.
CPU just grumbled under his breath and turned to the twins.
"...Just tell me what you want."
"One, give us the S-rank class." Dipper said.
"WHAT?!" CPU yelled.
"It's like you said earlier, even though your S-rank, your still human. Why not add two more S-ranks who not only have demon powers, but also have supernatural healing compared to you guys. Plus we would be helping you deal with the really strong demons, preventing casualties on your side correct?" Dipper states.
CPU then crossed his arms as he stares into space.
"...I guess I can see the logic behind that."
"Two, even though me and Mabel are demon hunters, we still have a life outside of that. If you can, contact us after were done with classes if we are needed." Dipper said.
"Fine, but if were dealing with a life or death situation such as being short on demon hunters, I pull you two out of class, no excuses."
Both twins nod.
"Three, under no circumstance should Mabel and I be harmed by any of the demon hunters in the organization." Dipper said.
"Hm? What do you mean by that?"
Dipper shook his head.
"Come on, I know you didn't bring up the fact that us existing could pose as a problem for the knights who despises demons to the core. I'm not naive enough to believe that everyone in the organization won't hate us for being part demon despite the fact were working to save lives. And I have a hunch that if we refused your offer, someone else of your rank would've come and hunted us down just for having demon blood, am I right?" Dipper explained.
That made CPU chuckle nervously.
"You...Definitely hit the bullseye there. I'll make sure that Tamashi's daughter knows of your request."
Mabel then decided to speak.
"And four!...We want to get paid tons of money!"
"Okay." CPU said.
"Wait seriously?" Mabel asked.
"Of course. You honestly think we risk our lives 24/7 to stop beings from Hell from killing innocent people...For free?" CPU rhetorically questioned.
"How much money do you make?" Dipper asked.
The man walks to the twins, pulls out his phone, taps a few times, and shows his phone to them.
Both twins eyes widen at what they saw.
"That's...A lot of zeros." Mabel states.
"Yeah..." Dipper added.
CPU placed his phone back into his pocket.
"So is that all your requests?" CPU asked.
"One more, and it kind of adds to three...We have friends and I don't want them targeted just for being friends with us due to...You know what." Dipper said.
"That's an odd request considering we kill demons, not humans, any reason why you asked for that certain request?" CPU asked.
Dipper then turned to Razor and the C ranked knight mentally cursed himself as he remembered he tried to kill the girl with glasses. If Wendy found out about what he did...
"...Just in case there are those in your organization who hate demon supporters and stuff." Dipper answered.
Razor sighed in relief.
"Wait Dipper! What about-"
Dipper cuts off Candy by placing a hand over her mouth.
"Demons attacking our friends too? Thank you addressing that Candy, it completely slipped my mind! CPU here can have some of his knights protect our friends in case something terrible happens right?" Dipper quickly states with a small smile.
"Umm...Sure." CPU said.
Candy's voice was muffled but Dipper could tell she was upset.
"Look I what Razor did to you was wrong...But I don't want to get Wendy's team into any more trouble...Plus I'm positive Mabel would kill him if she found out what he did...I'll make sure he apologizes to you..." Dipper whispered to Candy's ear.
Dipper removes his hand from Candy's mouth.
"...Fine...But I'm only keeping quiet cause you asked me too. And that asshole better apologize to me." Candy whispered.
Dipper nods.
CPU clapped his hands.
"Okay! If were finally done wasting time, we should head to him base now." CPU states.
"Wait!" Mabel spoke up.
"UGH! WHAT NOW?!" CPU exclaimed.
"We still have classes." Mabel answers.
CPU placed a palm over his head.
"...Just tell me when you guys are done with school for the day."
They all heard a groan from Victor.
"...Ugh...How long was I out?" Victor groaned.
Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, Razor, Sam, Victor, and CPU were walking to the organization's base. Candy couldn't come because she wasn't apart of the Order of the Sword.
"I still can't believe you hung out with descendants of Nero during summer vacation Wendy." Victor said.
"Weren't aware we were related to a hero of Fortuna...And sorry for stomping on your chest. Mabel said.
"It's fine. You didn't kill while I was unconscious, so thanks for that." Victor said.
"So where are we going?" Dipper asked.
"Over there." CPU points to what looks to be a train station.
"Since when did Gravity Falls had a train station?" Dipper questioned.
"The town started working on it the moment you guys left. Plus its how we get to our secret base." Wendy explained.
The group enter the entrance of the train station.
There was a man sitting behind glass and noticed the group.
"Good afternoon, may I help you?" He said.
CPU said nothing as he reached into his pocket and pulled what looked to be a badge with the Order of the Sword symbol.
"Ah, and they are with you?" The man asked.
CPU nods.
The man behind the glass then pushed a button which the others couldn't see.
"Please head to track 7." The man said.
"Thank you." CPU said.
He turned around and gestured the group to follow him.
They all went to Track 7 as they saw a door that said do not enter.
"All the people in this town aren't aware that the Order of the Sword use this train track to enter and leave our base. They all think it's unfinished, but its the opposite for people like us. CPU explained.
"Ah I see, very discreet." Dipper said.
The group entered through the door and saw the train tracks.
"So when's the train coming?" Mabel asked.
As soon as she said that, the train somehow appeared in front of them. It was just one car.
"Invisible trains?! So cool!" Mabel gleamed.
"Yeah, that was my reaction when I first say it." Wendy said while smiling.
The train car opened up and the gang walked in. The train then started moving without a conductor and entered a tunnel.
Dipper and Mabel were sitting next to each other, while the rest were sitting across from them.
"Hey! Dipper right?" Razor spoke.
"Yeah?" Dipper said.
"I want to finish our fight. If Wendy hadn't interrupted, I'm sure I would have beat you when I pulled out my secret weapon." Razor said with confidence.
"Nah, I watched the entire fight. Dipper was definitely toying with you. It would not have made a difference if you used your secret weapon." CPU told Razor.
"Come on Wendy! Back me up! If I had used on Dipper, he would've been finished!" Razor pleaded.
"Can't really come up with an answer for that Razor, I haven't seen Dipper or Mabel in 5 years. I don't even know how strong they are." Wendy said.
"Well I can say for sure were both stronger than those chumps you have for a team." Mabel said.
"C-CHUMPS?!" Razor expressed angrily.
"What my impulsive twin sister meant to say is that Mabel and I literally started training/hunting demons since we were thirteen. And it seems that you guys just started out in the world of demon hunting. So we have more experience, therefore either Mabel and me could beat all of you in a fight without even using our Devil Trigger forms." Dipper explained to Wendy's team.
"How old are you guys now?" Wendy asked.
"Nineteen." The twins said at the same time.
"Damn, you guys have been doing this shit for 5 years. Just like me." Wendy said while chuckling a little.
"Yeah...What made you join the Order of the Sword in the first place Wendy?" Dipper asked.
"...Let's just say certain events happened that made me realize my true calling." Wendy explained. Even though she was smiling, both the twins saw that Wendy was clutching her fists.
Sam also noticed that and quickly came up with something.
"...Why don't you ask us why we became demon hunters instead?!" Sam pleaded.
"What?!" Razor exclaimed. Unhappy with explaining their background to the twins.
The twins looked at each other, then back at Sam and nods.
"Right!...So I used to live in a home that I was constantly told to hold impossible standards. I had to have been the 'perfect' girl and always listen to my parents because they are right about everything. I couldn't get bad grades, I couldn't stay out past curfew, I couldn't have any friends, Compared to facing demons every day, living in that house was hell. One day I decided to just run away...I figured there was a new life away from that nightmare of I lived for most of my life. Then I ran into a demon...Even though I experienced Weirdmageddon, seeing a literal beast from hell petrified me. I didn't find the strength to move. I was sure it was the end of me...But then, someone saved my life, and it was Wendy as she cut off the demon's head in one fell swoop."
Sam smiled at her teacher. Wendy smiled back.
"She not only saved my life, but gave me the courage to join the world of demon hunters. And here I am today. Me with a sniper, blowing holes into demons."
Mabel turned to Trent.
"What's your origin story?" Mabel asked.
"So basically, I was enjoying summer as a high school graduate. One day when I was out on my daily jog. I've noticed some smoke in the air. Naturally I was curious. So I followed the origin of the smoke. When I got to the destination I was speechless. I saw a car that was totaled. But the horrific part was that there was a some kind of monster who I learned was a demon eating humans. Then the back of the car, I saw two helpless kids who were terrified. It didn't take long to put two and two together that the demon killed their parents and that monster was about to spot those poor kids. Without thinking, I rushed two save those kids as the demon finally spotted them. I ran as fast as I could to get out of there, but the demon was two fast for me and it tackled me to the ground then started cutting me up, mostly my back. But I had to protect the kids as I knew if I feel unconscious, they would be dead. I was sure we were all goners...But then I heard silence and turned to see Wendy and the demon that attacked us was killed. She basically admired how brave and strong I was for protecting those kids and asked me to join the Order of the Sword."
Trent smiles as he looks at his ring. "Not a day goes by that I don't regret risking my life to saving those kids."
"And that leaves Razor, how did you join the Order of the Sword?" Dipper questioned.
Razor however glares at Dipper.
"There's no way in hell I'm telling you my personal life! Not to you demons!" Razor remarked.
Before anyone could respond, the train comes to a halt.
"Looks like were here at the base." CPU says.
Everyone got off the train. Dipper and Mabel saw that they were surrounded by a field of grass and flowers.
The group all turn to a large cathedral.
"Welcome to our base." CPU smiles as they all enter through the large doors.
Dipper and Mabel were surprised to see many people in the building. There were those who held swords, guns, spears, bombs, any weapons you could think.
"Man that mission was hard as hell." One person said.
"Yes! I'm finally a B rank!" Another person said.
"So I have to take out this many demons?" Someone else said.
"How are there so many demon hunters here?" Dipper questioned.
"Well Dipper, believe or not, most people who become demon hunters want to do it for insane reasons." Wendy explained.
"There's also a rumor that the those who are the most insane have the highest chances for survival." CPU added while grinning.
"Ah, so Mabel can fit right in here." Dipper jabbed.
"HEY!" Mabel said while punching her brother in the arm. Dipper could only chuckle.
The gang entered a secluded hallway and stopped by a large door.
"Sorry guys, only S rank demon hunters can enter through this door except for Wendy. You three have to wait out here." CPU explained.
"What?! Why can't we come in but Wendy can?!" Razor complained.
"Dude, you know why." Trent said to Razor.
"And don't be rude! Your lucky Wendy tolerates your behavior." Sam added.
"Now now guys no fighting. Razor, I understand your upset. And I wish I could bring you guys in, but rules are rules." Wendy said calmly.
All Razor did was grumble.
"Shall we?" CPU said as the group minus Wendy's students entered. The doors closed.
"...Mmmmmm...This fucking sucks! WHY THE HELL DO THE DEMONS GET TO GO INSIDE BUT WE CAN'T!" Razor exclaimed angrily.
"My god you are such a child Razor! We've just been over this!" Sam argued.
"This whole day has been crap! First CPU decides to fuck with us by giving us an impossible mission! Then we were embarrassed by the demons! And now were supposed to see them as good because they're 'related' to Nero! I call fucking bullshit!" Nero states.
"Wendy knows them! If she says they're cool! Then they're cool!" Sam said.
"Wendy could be wrong! She didn't even know they were demons when they met! For all we know, they could've been lying to her this entire time!" Razor continued.
"Oh please! The only reason your butt hurt is because Dipper manhandled your ass! Face reality Razor, we were never going to beat them in the first place!" Sam explained.
"We would've if I revealed my secret weapon! I don't care what anyone says! It would've killed Dipper!"
"Um guys?" Trent spoke up
"WHAT?!" Sam and Razor explained.
"Who's that?" Trent points to a person.
The two turned to see a man they didn't recognize.
He was wearing a typical magician's attire, a black tuxedo, a white buttoned undershirt, white gloves, a red bowtie, and black top hat with a red stripe. He wore a domino mask, and black hair.
"Hello kids, would you like to see a trick?" The stranger said as he took off his hat and the trio was shocked to see the bottom of the hat had monstrous teeth and a long tongue. The hat opened its mouth and it started sucking up the three demon hunters as they could do nothing but be eaten by the hat.
Meanwhile...
Dipper, Mabel, CPU, and Wendy were in the room where the other S ranked knights were. They were sitting near a round table.
The first person they saw was someone they recognized, Gloria.
"Hello Dipper and Mabel. Glad you could come." She said while smiling at them.
The twins said nothing as they still were suspicious of her.
The rest of the people they didn't recognize.
There was a boy who looked to be 10 with ivory skin, he had a red baseball hat, and had indigo hair. He wore blue overalls and a white sleeved undershirt.
The next person was woman with a strange appearance. Her skin tone was dark green, her scleras were black and her eyes were red. She had pointy ears, her hair was light green and was long as it reached her back. She had grey branches that looked like horns protruding through her head. As for her attire she wore a bra and a skirt that made out of leaves.
The person next to her looked to be a man in his early thirties with porcelain skin. He had navy blue hair with a long tied ponytail. He had a eye patch covering his right eye. He also wore earrings that had Japanese writing that translated for tsunami. He wore a haori that had a intriguing design. Most of the haori was sandy colored, and at the bottom of the haori were blue waves. His undergarment was black. He wore setta sandals and tabi socks. From behind him, he had two sheaths for two swords.
A male that looked to be the twin's age was next to eye patched man was glued to his gaming console. He wore a black hoodie that didn't show his hair or face, just his mouth and he wore black pants.
The last person in the room was a woman in their late 20s. But the twins could tell that her presence alone was filled with power and authority.
She had short slate gray hair with bangs that covered her forehead. Warm ivory skin, a mole to the left side of her face. She wore a white crop top, white gloves on her hands, blue jean shorts, and white boots.
"Ah, CPU, Wendy, glad you could finally make it. So CPU, can you tell me why you created a false mission?" The woman named Shinsetsu Tamashi questioned.
"Believe me when I say that doing so prove to be beneficial because I found two people who could be a great help to our organization." CPU explained.
He gestured to Dipper and Mabel.
"Unbelievable!"
The man with the eye patch expressed his destain. "So you admitted to doing something unlawful to pick up two nobodies without our permission?!" He states.
Before Wendy could react, CPU stepped up. "Yeah, I thought that at first too, but I've done some research and learned these two are Dipper and Mabel Pines. The people who had a hand stopping Bill Cypher five years ago." As soon as CPU said this, most of the S-ranked knights were surprised to hear this information.
"Ah...So these are the Pine twins who you highly spoke off, eh Wendy?" Shinsetsu said.
"Yep, but there's something else you need to know about them." Wendy said.
"So turns out, these two are not only heroes of Gravity Falls, but they are descendants of a certain hero we all know too well..." CPU states with a grin. The leader's eyes widen at the statement.
Shinsetsu said nothing as the next moment, she appears in front of the twins and stared at them. Her gaze was was predatory, but the twins said nothing. For a moment, a hint of gold gleamed in her eyes.
"I sense it...You two have the powers of demons...How is that possible?" She questioned in a serious tone.
"It's because these two are related to Nero, the hero of Fortuna." CPU explained. And this made the other knights, even the one with the black hoodie, stare at the twins.
"No way...You two are actually related to THE Nero!?" The kid with the red cap asked excitedly.
"I've heard stories about Nero, but to hear he had descendants is exciting news." The woman with green skin said.
The guy wearing the black hoodie said nothing and continued to stare at the twins.
The man with the eye patch looked angered at that statement. "Are you all serious right now? We're suppose to believe two random kids from nowhere is related to the hero of Fortuna!?" He states.
"It's true, I did my research on their family." CPU states.
"What CPU saids is correct. These two are descendants of Sparda. Sharing the blood of the demon who saved the world from the Prince of Hell Mundus." Gloria added.
Shinsetsu placed a hand on her chin and turns to Wendy. "Wendy, why was I not aware of this?" Shinsetsu questioned.
"Umm...Shinsetsu Tamashi right? Truth be told. We never knew we had demon powers until after summer when were attacked by a demon. We then learned what we were and had been training and slaying demons for the past 5 years." Dipper explained.
"I see...So I need to know, why are you two here?" Shinsetsu said.
"Because we want to become members of this Order of the Sword group!" Mabel states.
The man with the eyepatch plants his fist to the table.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! WE ARE NOT ALLOWING THEM TO JOIN OUR ORGANIZATION! AND EVEN IF WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THEM BEING NERO'S DESCENDANTS IS TRUE, AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH SANCTUM, WE ARE NOT ALLOWING ANOTHER PERSON WHO USED DEMON POWERS INTO THE ORDER OF THE SWORD!" The eye patched man protested.
Mabel looked at him offended. "No one gives a damn about your opinion cyclops! How about you shut the hell up and let us join up. After all, CPU said you guys need people like us in your organization!" Mabel told him off.
The ten year old covered his mouth in shock. While CPU and Wendy giggle at this display.
The eye patched man looked even more angry. "I will not be lectured by a damn child!"
"I'm 19 you dipshit!"
The eye patched man turns to Shinsetsu. "Shinsetsu. I believe CPU should be punished for not only tampering with a mission, but bringing two undisciplined children to our organization, without our permission!" He argued.
"I would watch how you speak to me Mizu, I am your leader and I decide what goes on here." Shinsetsu then turns to CPU. "Regardless Mizu has a point. Your punishment CPU is to run 5 laps all around the cathedral." She ordered.
"Five!? But its a big ass cathedral!" He complained.
"Now its ten for talking back to me." She added.
"...Fine."
Wendy smirked. She still didn't like how CPU potentially put her team in danger. Even if it was harmless in the end.
"So...You two want to join the Order of the Sword?"
"Yes." The twins said at the same time.
"Right, to convince them to join, I had to agree to their stipulations." CPU explained and the leader glared at him.
"And what are the stipulations?" She questioned.
CPU then explained the stipulations proposed by Dipper and Mabel.
"...And those are all?"
CPU nods. The leader turns to the twins.
"I can grant almost all the requests for the first one." Shinsetsu told them.
"What?! Why not?! Were strong enough to stop dangerous demons!" Mabel pleaded.
"Come on Shinsetsu, I've known these guys, plus they played a huge part in defeating that asshat Bill." Wendy added.
"Regardless of all that Wendy, I can't grant just them S-rank without knowing how well they are with slaying demons. Even if they are related to Nero." Shinsetsu explained.
"That's fair, so tell us we can do to change your mind." Dipper said.
Before the leader could answer, a loud explosion shook the building.
CPU looked alarmed. He snapped his finger and suddenly a digital screen appeared. The screen showed two individuals. One that looked like a magician, the other was female.
She wore a black ninja suit, white bracers on her arms and legs, her mouth was covered by a red scarf. And she wore a black hood to cover her hair.
"Unbelievable, it's them..." CPU spoke with anger.
"CPU! How the hell did your technology not detect them?!" Wave exclaimed.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out!" He shot back.
"I can't believe those idiots are back." The kid with that hat said.
"Oh my, I can't help but think they injured some people by breaking in." The green skinned lady said.
"Who's the magician and ninja wannabes?" Mabel asked.
"Those two were originally S-ranked knights." Wendy explained.
"Were?" Dipper said.
"Apparently, they were supposed to stop this strong demon from destroying a town separate from Gravity Falls. From what I've heard, they abandoned the mission and the citizens of the town were all killed. Shinsestsu found out what happened and the two were stripped of their rank and was kicked out of the Order of the Sword. I honestly can't believe they have the balls to come back here and cause havoc." Wendy explained.
"Regardless, they should be dealt swiftly. With your permission Shinsetsu, I can stop this madness within 5 minutes." Wave stated.
Shinsetsu looked at the screen then at the twins and smiled.
"You two want to be S-ranked knights correct? Here's what you can do. You two can go and stop them and bring them back here alive. Do that and I'll grant you both S-rank understand?" Shinsetsu ordered.
"Hold on! You can't just throw these two into a situation like this! Those are former S-rank knights!" Wendy pleaded.
"I understand your concern Wendy. But remember the fact you choose this profession in this first place. The moment you became a member of the Order of the Sword, you knew your life would constantly be at risk. And the same can be said for them."
She placed a hand on Wendy's shoulder. "If it makes you feel better, we can monitor them and if it looks like they are in any time of danger, I'll sent one of us to help them. Okay?" The leader smiled.
Wendy turned to the Pine Twins. Why wouldn't she be worried? After all, its been 5 years since she has seen their friends. Even if they thrashed her team, she still was scared to lose them.
Wendy sighs in defeat.
"Fine...But if anything bad happens to them...I'm cutting one of the perpetrators legs off!" Wendy said.
Meanwhile Dipper and Mabel were talking to each other.
"I'm going to go after ninja girl, you can take the magician." Mabel said.
"I have no objections with that." Dipper said.
"You know what...Let's make things interesting..." Mabel had a devious smile.
"Are you proposing a bet?" Dipper asked.
"Who ever defeats the enemy first and drags them to this room wins! The loser has to pay for dinner!" Mabel states.
"Then its a bet. Good luck, your going to need it." Dipper said.
Both twins took off to the door and went to opposite directions.
Wave crossed his arms in disapproval.
"Making bets in a time like this? How irresponsible are they!? I can't believe we have to wait for them! We don't even know if they are strong enough to stop them!" He argued.
"Have patience Wave, from what I've seen, these two are more likely to give those ex-knights a hard time." CPU countered.
"...I hope so." Wendy muttered.
With Dipper...
Dipper got out from one of the hallways and was witnessed to a brutal sight.
Demon hunter bodies was laid on the ground, blood stains were on the floors, walls, the windows, even some parts of the ceiling.
The corpses had cards stuck to their bodies, some were bisected into two, some were burned, there were corpses that had chunks of the bodies ripped out, almost like a demon attacked them.
Dipper was filled with anger and disgust at the perpetrator.
"Like what you see?" Dipper turned to see the magician from earlier walking to him. He was juggling several severed heads that belonged to the demon hunters he killed.
"Why did you do this?" Dipper questioned.
"Simple...You are Dipper Pines. Descendant of Sparda. I was told to come here and kill you!" He said as he stopped juggling. While doing so he took off his hat and the hat opened its mouth to swallow all the heads coming down towards it. The magician puts back his hat onto of his head.
From the other room, the S-ranked knights heard that.
"How the hell does he know that information?!" CPU questioned. As far as he knew, only he and Gloria knew about the Pine Twins bloodline. So it didn't make sense for an ex-member of the Order of the Sword to know that information.
Gloria/Trish stared at the screen. 'I can only think of one way that fool knows...Arkham.' Thought Trish.
Hearing what the magician said made Dipper glare at him angrily. "If you were after me, why would you kill these people!? They had nothing against you!" Dipper spoke.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The magician said as he wagged his finger at Dipper.
"That's where your wrong my friend. You see after our 'final' mission. Me and Naomi were mocked for abandoning our mission!" He states.
"I've heard about that. My question is why did you two flee the mission? Weren't you both S-ranked knights?" Dipper questioned.
Dipper saw the magician frown. "Why?...Why is that the response we get every time?! There is nothing wrong with retreating! Sometimes you have to know when to fold in order to survive!" The magician argued.
"But didn't you join the Order of the Sword in order to protect innocent people!?" Dipper countered.
The magician then cackled. "You really think I give a shit about protecting some nobodies!? The real reason I joined was because I wanted to show everyone how wonderful I am at killing demons! I wanted to be a star! And when I became an S-rank, I finally got what I wanted!"
He then scowls. "...But then...One mission...One fucking mission...Screws up all my progress...I sacrificed years of my life to this damn organization to become a star...And all I got for it for failing one mission was ridicule and torment!...These very people you see lifeless on the floor are the same people who mocked me when I abandoned my mission...So why the hell should I feel bad for killing these people when they mocked me in the first place?!"
Dipper said nothing as he unsheathed Yamato.
"I completely understand now...Your nothing but a damn scumbag. If I wasn't ordered by your previous boss to take you in...Your head would be rolling across the floor right now." Dipper threatened.
The magician laughed at Dipper's statement. "How hilarious! You really think you can stop me?! I may no longer be a demon hunter, but I was S-rank! And you should be careful how you talk to people boy...You never know what they might do next!"
The magician snapped his fingers. Suddenly out of nowhere, three monstrous rabbits with bloodshot eyes, sharp teeth, messy fur, and the size of cars sprang at Dipper.
The rabbits collided with each other, thinking they got Dipper. Only to look at themselves in confusion when they realize that Dipper disappeared.
Without warning, Dipper slammed into one of the rabbits, plunging Yamato into the rabbit's brain, killing it instantly. Blood dripped from its head, nose, and mouth.
The other rabbits looked at Dipper in anger for killing one of their kind. Both rabbits sprang towards Dipper. The descendant of Sparda pulled out Yamato from the rabbit corpse and did a horizontal slash against the rabbits. Splitting them into.
The magician was surprised to see Dipper kill his pet rabbits with ease.
"Hehe...Your more fun that I thought you were...Perhaps you'll entertain me."
"I never in a million years would've thought Dipper of all people would become a swordsman." Wendy said.
"Well life is full of surprises Wendy. What do you think about him Wave?" CPU said.
"I would hold your tongue. So far he hasn't done anything impressive." Wave states.
With Mabel...
While Dipper found his opponent, Mabel was still trying to find hers.
"Now if I was a ninja...Where would I be?" Mabel said.
Mabel heard another loud explosion.
"...Causing mass damage." Mabel ran to the direction where she heard the explosion. She entered a large and saw many dead people laid on the ground. There were scorch marks, destroyed items, but Mabel gasped as she saw charred bodies, humans whose limbs were burned off. There were also those that suffocated through mysterious means.
"Help...Help me..." Mabel saw a man whose legs were blown off crawling to her.
"Shit..." Mabel ran to the man and crouched down.
"What happened?" Mabel questioned.
"It happened so fast...Why?...Why did this happen?" The man groans weakly.
"It's okay, I promise to find her and..." Mabel stopped talking when she heard a sizzling noise.
She stared at the man's back and was horrified to find some type of paper seal that was being burned.
A loud explosion took place.
From out the corner, the ninja from earlier walked to the scene.
"Hmph...What a fool...To be taken out like that is pathetic...Well considering these weaklings are now dead, that is to be expected." She states.
"You fucking bitch!"
The ninja's eyes widen when the smoke revealed Mabel had Rebellion in front of her to tank the explosion.
"Using someone's life like that is fucking low you scumbag!" Mabel screamed as she rushed to the ninja. Mabel then thrusted her blade through the ninja. To Mabel's surprise, she just vanished.
"Too slow..." The ninja sidestepped behind her, kunai in hand as she prepared to jab it through Mabel's head.
The young adult then tossed Rebellion in the air as she did a front flip while taking out Ivory and doing handstand where she then starting firing.
The ninja had been parrying the bullets using her kunai.
Mabel then used her foot to kick the falling Rebellion to the ninja who easily dodged the large blade. Which is what Mabel wanted as she used the moment to do another flip as she raised her foot to land an axe kick at the ninja's head. The ninja jumped back as the attack lands, creating large spider cracks on the floor.
"Woah...She's pretty strong." The boy with the red hat said as the S-rank knights were watching Mabel.
"I'm honestly surprised she didn't hurt her foot upon contact." The green skinned lady said.
"I always knew Mabel was more of a physical person, but that right there is too much." Wendy admits.
Mabel seen Rebellion plunged into a wall. So she quickly passes the ninja and runs to grab her sword.
"Oh no you don't!" The ninja spoke as she flung dozens of shurikens at Mabel.
She turned around and was startled to see many flying stars coming her way. Mabel pulled out Ebony and started firing bullets. Each bullet knocked down the shurikens.
Mabel got to the wall and pulled out Rebellion with ease. The remaining shurikens were closing in. Mabel with one vertical slash, destroyed the remaining flying stars.
"I'll admit your good...But not got enough." The ninja told Mabel.
"What the hell is your problem? Why are you doing this?" Mabel questioned.
"Me and my partner Milton were told kill you and your brother for being descendants of a demon. We don't give a damn if your related to Nero, the hero of Fortuna. All demons who invade Earth should die." Naomi explained.
"But why kill these people? What do they have to with me and my brother?" Mabel said.
"Oh they don't, but I would like to think of it as releasing all this pent up aggression caused by our stupid bitchy ex-boss. These people just so happen to be in my way." Naomi continued.
"H-Haven't you known these people for years, built bonds with them, for God's sake, you all basically have the same goal, killing the demons and saving the innocent!" Mabel exclaimed.
Mabel couldn't see it, but Naomi was frowning under her mask. "You think I WANTED this profession!? You think I was happy risking my life everyday for these useless people?! Not a chance in hell! But...My grandmother was originally a member of the Order of the Sword. She forced me to join this division...I had no other choice...I couldn't escape this hell. Even after she passed away, I already became S-rank so there was nothing I could do...Until that mission happened. When Shinsetsu kicked me out of the organization, it was the happiest day of my life...Until a realized a harsh reality...I had no home, no family, no friends, no where else to go...I was basically lonely until...I met him. He explained everything to me and Milton. He promised us to grant our deepest wishes and desires if we killed you and your brother...And if that meant mowing down anyone from the organization to do so, then I'll do it!"
The ninja held a smoke bomb in her hand and tossed it to the ground, creating smoke in the entire room.
Mabel pulled out both her guns, aiming for Naomi. She then saw a figure moving the smoke. Mabel fired both Ebony and Ivory, the smoke revealed nothing.
Mabel spun and saw another figure so she fired again.
"Hahahaha!" Naomi's voice rang through the room.
"Urgh!" Mabel just spun around and fired multiple bullets, hitting nothing in the end.
Mabel then saw a figure running to her. She aimed her guns to fire. The figure then vanished.
"Where did she-AGHHHH!" Mabel felt searing pain on her back. She turned her head and she saw Naomi had slashed her back with a sword. Smiling underneath her mask.
With Dipper...
Dipper was running through the room he was in as he was being chased by more of those carnivorous rabbits. Three were chasing from behind him. The descendant of Sparda saw a wall and smiled.
Dipper ran up the wall as the three rabbits smashed into the wall, dazed. Dipper then jumped off the wall doing a backflip, while doing so he did three vertical slashes as he landed on the ground and unsheathed Yamato. The rabbits were cut in the middle before they knew what happened.
Dipper then ducked without looking back as some cards were thrown at him. The cards embedded themselves to the wall to indicate how sharp they are. The 19 year old turned to Morton who was chuckling to himself.
Dipper said nothing as he dashed towards the magician.
The ground then rumbled as the floor parted to reveal a giant earth worm with beady eyes and teeth bigger than that of an average adult.
"When the hell did he draw that monster out?!" Wendy exclaimed.
"That bastard...He knows that I have to reconstruct this whole place!" CPU grumbled.
Dipper in the nick of time managed to use his sheath to stop the worm's teeth from turning him into mush and unsheathing Yamato. He was however hanging with one hand while he was staring down the earthworm's uvula. The earthworm then roared as it tore through the upper floors of the entire building. Eventually they reached the roof as the earth worm continued to ascend.
"Alright, that's enough out of you." Dipper said as he did multiple flips before eventually managing to a somersault that tossed him away from the earthworm's mouth while holding his sheath. Upside down, Dipper then used Yamato to do a horizontal slash, cutting off the earthworm's neck, killing it instantly. Dipper then flipped himself as he stabbed Yamato to the earthworm's body as he used the corpse to slide down. Eventually he reached the same floor he was fighting the magician.
"Hello again!" Morton waved.
'I think its better if I approached him from a safe distance.' Thought Dipper.
Dipper sent out an almost invisible slash at Magician, he then jumped back and sheathed Yamato. Then the sheath turned blue as it looked like Dipper unsheathed and sheathed Yamato.
Morton then acted upon instinct as he jumped back as a volley of slashes appeared where he stood.
"What the hell?!" Morton stated, sounding alarmed for the first time. Even though he evaded the attack, he didn't come out unharmed as his torso and parts of his legs were cut.
Dipper continued with the attack as Morton was hopping back, avoiding each volley of slashes.
Outside the battle, Wave was staring at the screen, mesmerized by what Dipper was doing.
"...For him to create that many cuts from that distance while sheathing and unsheathing his blade..."
CPU had a small grin. "My my...Is someone impressed?"
"...I'll admit, I can see the boy has SOME skill as a swordsman. His sister on the other hand, her skills with a sword leaves something to be desired." Wave states.
CPU nudges Wendy. "Your friends are putting on quite a show for us Wendy. There transition to S-ranks is as good as gold." CPU said.
"I'm still worried about my friends, but I can see the merit behind your thinking. They might actually have a shot a being S-rank knights." Wendy said.
"That remains to be seen." Both turn to Shinsetsu who had her arms crossed while watching the screens.
"I hope you haven't forget that I still have the right to give them rank or not." Shinsetsu states.
Back with the fight, Morton continued to dodge Dipper's cuts.
Morton then pulled out one card and threw it at Dipper.
Dipper saw the card and easily evaded. But that was what Morton anticipated because as soon as the magician snapped his fingers, the card exploded in a bright light, blinding Dipper for the moment.
"Shit! I can't see!" Dipper yelled out. He knew he was in a bad position right now, but held the grip of his weapon tighter.
Dipper's vision was returning, but he couldn't take any chances. So he just did a horizontal slash, he was hopping to at least nick him. When Dipper's was no longer blinded, he saw that he had decapitated the head of another monster rabbit.
He turned to multiple directions to find Morton but he didn't see him.
Unknown to Dipper, somethings were protruding out from the corpse. Loud popping sounds were heard and Dipper turned around to find some cards thrown at him. He managed to cut most of them up, but one grazed his cheek.
Dipper then felt a throbbing pain growing across his face. Morton then pops out of the neck of the rabbit looking messy and stained. The magician went into his sleeve and pulled out a bunch of tied handkerchiefs. He used the handkerchiefs to wipe himself, and a few seconds later, he was clean. Morton saw Dipper wincing in pain.
"Normally a magician doesn't reveal his secrets, but I'll make an exception for you. Those cards I used were laced with holy water, very effective for dealing with demons. Too bad you have demon blood in your veins.
With Mabel...
The 19 year old was on the floor, panting as the pain to her back was almost unbearable. She was barely holding on to Rebellion, even if the tip of the blade was pierced to the floor.
Mabel saw Naomi holding a short blade.
"This blade is laced with holy water. You see Mabel Pines, holy water is poison for demons. When used on, it acts like acid, burning through everything, even through bones. And judging by your reaction to the liquid, it really does prove you have demon blood in your veins...How disgusting." Naomi explained.
"Why is that disgusting? Me and my brother use the powers of demon to save lives and kill demons who threaten the innocent!" Mabel argued.
"Because, an anomaly like you and your brother shouldn't exist! It doesn't matter if what you say is true! All demons exist to be slain! Hell, the Order of the Sword uses demon corpses to make new weapons! The fact that your family somehow harbored the genes of a demon is terrible! You all should be slain for existing alone!"
Mabel's eyes were shadowed as she slowly started to get back up, surprising the ninja.
"H-How!? The holy water should be turning you into bones at this point!" Naomi panicked. The holy water always worked against demons, but she didn't understand why Mabel wasn't dying. Sure it burned her skin, but other than that, its not doing anything.
Mabel pulled out Rebellion and glared angrily at Naomi.
"PEOPLE LIKE YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE MY FAMILY!" Mabel then vanished from the ninja's sight as she was perplexed.
Mabel then appeared in front of the ninja who barely was able to jump back as Mabel used Rebellion to do a vertical slash, nicking the ninja's face while also cutting her mask.
Naomi held her face as she realized the blade cut left side of her face which was now bleeding. But her left eye remained unscathed. She removed her mask and dropped her hoodie. The bottom portion of her face had several cuts and burns. She had black hair tied into a small pony tail.
Mabel then appeared in front of Naomi again as she was going to stab her. The ninja evaded to the left as Rebellion once again grazed her check. Mabel then held Rebellion in the air as she brought it down while Naomi quickly blocked it with her short blade. Naomi was struggling as it was clear that Mabel had more strength. She even saw her short blade starting to crack due to the pressure of Rebellion.
Mabel used her strength to quickly lift up Rebellion and slam it down with such force that it snapped the blade in two. Mabel used the momentum to slash at the ninja's body as she slashed her body.
The ninja jumped away from Mabel and looks down to see that her ninja suit was cut, revealing she had a large bleeding wound, her blood oozing on the floor. Naomi quickly ripped off both her sleeves, revealing her old scars from her battles with demons. She then wrapped them around her body. Of course it didn't stop all the bleeding, but it at least slowed it down.
'Damn her!...At this rate I might actually...No...Don't think those thoughts!...That's what caused that one mistake that ruined everything...I can kill her!' Thought Naomi as she pulled out a scroll.
She opened the scroll and it turned out the blank.
She smeared her thumb with her blood and rubbed it against the scroll.
The scroll then glowed red as it turned into mist and flew into her body. Naomi let out a pained scream as her body was convulsing. Mabel looked at her confused.
The ninja's scleras were turning black as her eyes glowed purple and became bloodshot. Her body then was covered in veins.
Her head snaps back at Mabel and she had a creepy grin.
"Now...I have enough power to kill you!" Naomi spoke, her voice distorted.
She then vanished in front of Mabel's eyes as without warning, felt a punch to her face, sending her flying through a wall. Mabel stabs Rebellion to the ground as she skids to a halt. Her mouth was filled with blood.
"Damn...How much stronger is this bitch?" Mabel cursed, realizing that the fight has taken a drastic turn.
Naomi appeared behind her in the air as she brought out another short blade. She spun around to cut off Mabel's head. Mabel's instincts were screaming for her to dodge. So at the last second, Mabel ducked as she felt a part of her hair was cut, but she was unharmed. The same can't be said for the pillars of the room as they were cut in half, causing them to fall down.
The ninja then appeared in front of Mabel, giving her no time to react before kicking her flying. Sending her flying into the air. Naomi then appeared above Mabel, doing a front flip before giving Mabel an axe kick to the stomach, sending her back to the ground, creating spider cracks in the process.
Meanwhile, the S-ranks were perplexed by this development.
Shinsetsu frowned at the sight of the ninja. Once again her eyes showed a hint of gold.
"Her soul...It has changed..." She spoke in a serious tone.
"Changed? Changed how?" Wendy questioned.
"That scroll she used...It had the influence of a demon...Somehow her soul has become demonic." The leader answered.
Back with the battle, Mabel slowly got up from the floor while coughing up a little blood.
"I don't know how she did, but somehow the bitch became faster and stronger than before.
Mabel looked up and saw Naomi jumping around at speeds beyond that of a human.
Mabel tossed Rebellion onto her back as she pulled out Ebony and Ivory.
"All I have to do is get a single shot at her!" Mabel said as she was aiming her guns to where Naomi would be. To Mabel's surprise, the ninja stopped moving at some point.
The descendant of Sparda didn't know why the ninja stopped moving, all she knew is that she got a free shot!
What Mabel failed to see however, was that she was holding some type of silver strings. The ninja pulled the strings.
Mabel then felt a world of pain as her neck, arms, torso, and legs were being crushed by the strings. She was lifted into the air
"No way...That means the bitch was actually stringing me up this entire time!" Mabel states as she realized her blunder. She should've moved when she had the chance.
"Heheheheheheh...How does it feel Mabel Pines, how does it feel to be weak against a stronger threat?! How does it feel to constantly live in fear that there's a chance that you'll die?! How does it feel to know that your life never mattered in the first place?! . ?!" Naomi screamed out in glee.
She pulled the strings harder, the strings cutting Mabel's skin, which made her start bleeding.
"Tell me Mabel Pines, are you angry, scared, confused, betrayed? It doesn't mater what you think, you'll be dead soon!" Naomi sang.
With Dipper...
"I did my homework on you...I know your not to be underestimated. You did kill Faust Stein after all. But unlike him, I'm not stupid."
Dipper's eyes widen at that remark.
"How the hell do you know about Faust Stein?" Dipper questioned.
"You know what? Why not? Your going to die anyway. After me and Naomi were excommunicated from the Order of the Sword, we were approached by a man that could give us power that we didn't have before...Arkham!"
Dipper was shocked to hear that name again.
"When Arkham learned that you slain Faust, he ordered me and Naomi to hunt both of you down and kill you both!"
"Again, why did you have to kill many innocent people to get to us? If you wanted to kill us so badly, why not do it before we entered the cathedral."
"Simple! I want all those losers who rejected me to see how far I've come. Arkham taught me that the Order of the Sword was squandering my true potential! After I'm done killing you, Arkham promised to me even more power!...Let me show you something else."
The magician took of his hat and turned it upside down as its mouth opened. Then he took out a card and with a quick slash, he cut his thumb, making it bleed. The blood fell into the mouth of the hat. Morton tossed the hat onto his head. The hat then stabbed Morton's head with its teeth. Confusing Dipper.
Morton's body then began to twitch and convulse unnaturally. Suddenly, Morton sprouted two more identical arms, but four signature magician wands appeared in his hands. The magician's mask was glowing purple. Eyes suddenly sprouted onto the hat. The scleras were dark blue with azure eyes.
"You know...I'm glad your going to be the first person see my new act!" Morton's voice was high and distorted.
Dipper said nothing as he prepared Yamato.
'He transformed the moment he put on his hat. And the blood must been activation...Like Faust...All I need to do is target the hat and I win...But I know this fight will get more difficult.'
"Staring off into space is very disrespectful to magicians like me!"
Morton placed a hand on Dipper's shoulder, the latter quickly jumping away from him, alarmed.
'How the hell did he get behind me without me noticing?!' Dipper thought.
Dipper rushed in to slash at Morton. The magician was waiving one of his wands. Dipper approached him and use Yamato to do a vertical slash. However, when he did, Magician vanished. Dipper look down and saw a small hole where Magician was standing.
The hole then removed itself from the ground, almost if it wasn't there in the first place. The hole floating in the air, flew to Dipper.
Dipper immediately slashed at hole, which split into four as the holes flew near Dipper, they latched onto Dipper's wrist and feet as they transformed into silver large rings. Another ring materialized in between Dipper's wrists and feet. Linking the rings together. This caused Dipper to drop Yamato and his sheath.
The magician then appeared in front of Mabel by phasing through the floor.
"Now I know why Faust lost. His dumbass should've separated your sword." Morton said as he picked up Yamato and the sheath.
Dipper tried to move, but the rings were restricting his movement.
"I know what your thinking, those rings aren't specifically made for stopping demons, but those rings make sure you can't move."
His hat, mostly the top of his hat, opened like how a person would open a garbage can. The hat gained another mouth as its tongue was hanging in the air. Dipper couldn't do anything but watch as his weapon was tossed into the hat. The second mouth was closed.
"You swordsman are all the same. You compensate using swords because they ultimately have a weaker fighting prowess. Without a sword in your hand, your weak." Morton declared.
Another wave of his wand from one of his other arms and a rope of colorful handkerchiefs flew from his wand and wrapped around Dipper's body, encasing him like he was an undead mummy.
The magician then waived another wand as a giant coffin opened risen up from the floor. The coffin opened revealing giant spikes inside the coffin, and the door the opened the coffin had spikes on the other side two.
"For my grand finale, my volunteer will enter the spike torture coffin! Will he survive?!...Probably not!"
Morton spun around and tossed Dipper into the coffin, which in total made the coffin close in.
Blood was seen dripping out of the coffin.
"NOOOO!"
Wendy screamed. She was about to leave when...
"Halt Wendy...It's not over yet." Shinsetsu said.
"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?! DIPPER WAS CRUSHED!" Wendy angrily exclaimed.
"...His soul hasn't disappeared..." She explained.
Morton was cackling.
"I DID IT! I KILLED HIM!...Even though you were fun Dipper Pines, your act has reached its conclusion."
Without warning, the giant coffin bursted into pieces, stunning Morton.
He was shocked to see Dipper in his Devil Trigger Form. The hole sized wounds he had, mostly on his torso and some on his legs instantly closed up.
Each S rank knight had different reactions upon seeing Dipper's Devil Trigger Form.
The kid with the red hat looked in awe, the green skinned woman looked curious, Gloria smiled, The guy with the hoodie said nothing, but continued to stare, Mizu scowled at Dipper, and Shinsetsu intrigued.
"Hate to disappoint you, but my act is far from finished!" Dipper exclaimed.
With Mabel
Naomi knew that she had won. There was no way for Mabel to esc-
She was interrupted by a glowing red light as Mabel was going into her Devil Trigger Form.
"You ran away from a strong demon right?...Let's see how you deal with me!" Mabel exclaimed with a huge grin on her face.
Using her new strength, Mabel used the strength of her arms and legs to tear apart the strings. She also cut the string around her neck using her hand but Mabel wasn't done, she caught all the tore strings and yanked them hard. Naomi was not prepared for this action, as she was suddenly pulled towards Mabel.
The descendant of Sparda reared her right arm and as soon as she came close to Mabel, the 19 year old gave her a hard uppercut to the stomach. This made Naomi coughed of blood and she felt her ribs cracked and the uppercut sent her flying through the roof. Mabel then lands on the ground and looks to the hole on the roof. Mabel then squats in position and jumps into the air really high, leaving large cracks on the ground.
Naomi in the air was dazed, her eyes became blank.
'No way...No way...Just one punch alone...How strong is she?...Does that mean she was holding back this entire time?!' The ninja thought
Mabel appeared over Naomi and did a front flip before hitting her in the head with an axe kick, sending her plummeting down to the room where she crashed to the floor, creating a medium sized crater. Mabel lands to the ground without fail.
She looked down to see Naomi was unconscious. Her scleras turned back to white as her veins disappeared from her body.
Mabel transformed back and walked to Naomi.
"Ah shit...I hope I didn't kill her."
She leaned towards her chest and heard a heartbeat.
"Oh thank god."
Mabel grabbed Naomi and tossed her onto her shoulder.
With Dipper.
"So its really true, if you can transform into a demon, then you really are the descendant of Nero the hero. Regardless, you don't have a sword to deal with me."
"Who said I needed a sword to take you down."
Dipper stretched his right arm as he made a vertical slash.
"Ha! Idiot! Like that's gonna do-"
A large squelching sound was heard as Morton looked to his left to see both of his left arms were cut off, surprising the magician. Because his arms were cut off, the wands dispersed.
"You...You...How did..." Morton's voice was trembling.
"You said you wouldn't make the same mistakes as Faust Stein, yet you've underestimated me, like he did. Your no better than that bastard. Your honestly pathetic."
Morton looked down and clenched his remaining fists.
"Pathetic...Your calling me pathetic?...No...No...I'M NOT PATHETIC!"
One of his wands into a purple blade .
He charged at Dipper really fast.
"I'VE SPENT MY ENTIRE LIFE TRYING TO BE A MAGICIAN SO NO ONE COULD EVER DISRESPECT ME!"
Morton screamed as he jabbed and slashed multiple times at Dipper, the 19 year old easily dodging and weaving each attempt.
"I WAS DEEMED A FAILURE BECAUSE MY MAGIC WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH! THEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ORDER OF THE SWORD AND THEY NEEDED MY HEALTH. I'VE GAVE MY BEST YEARS TO SLAYING DEMONS AND ENTERTAINING THE PEOPLE HERE! SUDDENLY...ONE MISSION AND I'VE BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK LIKE I WAS BEFORE! I'M NOT PATHETIC, MY LIFE HAS SCREWED ME OVER SEVERAL TIMES!
Dipper then grabbed his lower right arm with right hand and with his left hand cuts off Morton's hand, making the blade disperse. Dipper wasn't done though as he smashed Morton in the face with his elbow, breaking his nose and making it bleed, the attack sent him crashing into a wall, creating spider cracks upon impact.
Morton slide down, looking woozy.
Dipper appeared in front of him.
"Just give up, its over." Dipper warned him.
"...Your right, it is over..."
Dipper then saw a shadow cover him. He looked up to see the hat hat somehow gotten bigger and taller, its second mouth opened wide.
Morton grinned.
"OVER FOR YOU!"
The hat then starting pulling Dipper like he was dirt being sucked by vacuum. Dipper was eaten by Morton's hat.
The S-rank knights saw what happened.
"...Ah man...He was doing so well too..." The red hat kid said.
"Hey guys!" Mabel walked into the room with Naomi.
"It looks like Dipper failed to get here first, so I win the bet!" Mabel cheered, but stopped smiling as she saw everyone in the room was not smiling except for Gloria, who's expression remained neutral.
"...What happened?" Mabel questioned.
Wendy stared at Mabel, looking upset.
"Dipper was sucked into Morton's hat." Wendy answered.
"...So what's the problem?" Mabel asked, puzzled.
CPU sighed.
"Morton's hat is basically a separate dimension where he stores all of his tricks. Only he has access to it, so killing him is out of the option. But its fatal for Dipper because we don't know if he'll require food or water, or if he's in there for too long he might...We have to get to Morton before he leaves." CPU explained.
"Ohhh...Don't worry, my brother can escape." Mabel answered and everyone just stared at her.
"What do you mean by that?" Shinsetsu questioned.
"Well, my brother has a sword that can cut anything, so we shouldn't worry." Mabel bluntly answered.
"Impossible! Your saying your brother can cut through a separate dimension?!" Wave exclaimed at Mabel.
"I'm with grumpy here, has Dipper done something like that in the past.
"Well...He has never done anything like that before, but who knows, first times the charm." Mabel answered.
Wave turns to CPU and glares at him.
"Again...You chose these people?" Wave questioned.
"If Mabel said Dipper can do it, I'll take her word for it." CPU said.
"...I hope your right Mabel." Wendy added.
Inside Morton's hat.
Dipper was falling into some darkness until he landed on the ground feet first.
He looked around and all he saw was a wooden floor, and large red curtains that surrounded the world that he was in right now.
"Dipper?!" Sam's voice rang,
He turned around and saw Sam, Trent, and Razor.
Dipper noticed that Trent was holding onto Yamato and his sheath.
"Morton got you guys too?" Dipper questioned.
"No Dipper, we were kidnapped by Santa Claus, of course that prick trapped us here idiot!" Razor tells Dipper.
"Dude caught us by surprise, I can't believe we didn't recognize an Ex S-ranked knight." Trent said.
"Wouldn't have mattered, I'm surprised he didn't kill us on the spot. But then again, making us fight for our survival is just cruel." Sam added.
Dipper then noticed that there were a lot of dead rabbit corpses similar to the ones he fought outside. Some hat bullet holes, some had first imprints and were crushed, and some were cut and sliced to death.
"Don't worry guys, I'm getting us out of here."
"How? We've been running around this damn world trying to figure out where the damn exit is! There is none! Were trapped here!" Razor argued.
Dipper smiled.
"We don't need to find an exit, I can make one."
This intrigued Wendy's students.
"My sword Yamato can cut through anything and this dimension technically counts as anything."
This made Razor snorts. "I'm sorry...You mean to tell me that you can cut through a fucking dimension like this?! I'll admit, you cutting to create a small ravine was impressive, but a dimension like this, even that is a reach!"
"I hate to agree with the jerk here, but Razor's right. And let's not forget that there's a possibly that Morton probably laid some traps the moment we tried to even attack those curtains." Sam said.
"I can still do it." Dipper said, not defeated.
"...You know what? Let's let him do it! I wanna see this through! I want to see him fail! I want to see his face when he fails!" Razor laughed.
"Alright...How about this, if I cut through this dimension and set us free, you have to apologize to Candy for what you did to her."
"Okay fine! I promise to apologize to her!...If we get out that is!" Razor smiled.
Trent tossed Dipper his weapon which he caught.
"You do realize if Dipper can't get us out, we might die right?" Trent told Razor.
"We still have other knights to save us from the outside world." Razor said.
Dipper did a stance and he was engulfed in a blue aura.
"Get down!" Dipper warned.
The students of Wendy ducked.
Dipper then spun around doing a horizontal slash that struck the curtains of the dimension.
Outside...
"I'll deal with him later, I'll find Mabel Pines and-"
He heard a sound of fabric being cut which stopped him in place.
The monster hat lost its smile as the being's upper half fell off and landed on the floor. The bottom half of his hat lost its solid form and fell off its head, turning the hat into a pile of goo. The last wand in his hand turned to dust.
That also meant that the magician lost his form as his four arms transformed back into two, with his left hand being a stump thanks to Dipper. His mask stopped glowing.
"No...How did this happen?!" Morton's voice returned to normal.
"You know you really should of done your homework."
Morton turned to Dipper and Wendy's students.
The Magician was flabbergasted.
"How...How in God's name did you escape?" Morton was terrified. The hat given was the reason he was one of the strongest in the Order of the Sword, if demons were to be captured by his hat, there would be now way out unless he allowed it. He was sure he won! So how did Dipper Pines escape?!
"My sword Yamato can cut through anything, including your pocket dimension."
That information made Morton speechless.
"To cut through dimensions?...That's impossible...There's no way a weapon like that exists!...There's an explanation to it!...THERE HAS TO BE!" Morton screamed.
"You should be quiet because its my turn to show you something. I'm about to make a scumbag go to sleep!" Dipper vanished and appeared behind Morton, sheathing Yamato.
The next thing Morton knew was his body was littered in cuts, spraying an amount of blood to the floor. The pain was too much for Morton so he fell to the floor.
"Holy crap! I can't believe you just killed an S-rank!" Trent exclaimed.
Dipper transformed back to normal.
"Relax, I didn't kill him, I just aimed for all his non-vitals. As much as I wanted to, he deserves justice for what he has done." Dipper states.
"I'll admit Dipper, that was pretty impressive, no wonder Wendy talks highly of you." Sam said.
"Thanks, I guess." Dipper picked up Morton and placed him onto his shoulder.
"Let's hurry. I made a bet with Mabel to see who would beat the former S-ranked knights first."
"Wait, there was another one?" Sam questioned.
"I'll explain on the way." Dipper said.
Sam, Trent, and Dipper ran to the S-rank room. Leaving Razor to his own thoughts. He grits his teeth in anger and clenched his fists.
'...Why?...Why is he better at being a swordsman than me?...I trained my ass off to be better...To be like him...And yet...I was treated like a joke...Dipper...Didn't take me seriously...Morton didn't take me seriously...I couldn't even rescue my friends from the fucking hat! Dipper did and I looked like a fucking clown for stopping him!...Why...Why am I so weak?'
"Well Mabel, looks like we were wrong. Your brother could do that." CPU said while smiling.
Wendy looked relieved. Dipper not only escaped, but it seemed he rescued her students as well.
"Really thought dude was a goner." The kid with the red hat said with a large smile.
"Hey Wave, what do you think of the kid now?" CPU asked.
Wave crossed his arms.
"...I'll admit, him cutting through a pocket dimension is impressive for someone his age. He basically destroyed the hat which the organization created from inside out...Maybe there is more to him than I thought." Mizu said.
"Ummm...What about me? I was impressive too right?" Mabel smiled.
"...I guess." Wave bluntly states.
Mabel's eyes twitched for a moment before pulling out Ebony and Ivory.
"THE FUCK YOU-"
"All right Mabel let's not do anything extreme." Wendy quickly held Mabel back.
"Brash and impulsive. Why can't you be more like your brother who seemed calm and reserved." Wave continued, but that riled up Mabel more.
"I KNOW YOUR NOT TALKING CYCLOPS! YOU WERE TRASH TALKING ME AND DIPPER SINCE WE GOT HERE!" Mabel argued.
"Ignore Wave, he was born with a disease to bring everyone down wherever he goes." CPU said while smiling.
Wave just ignores CPU.
Dipper comes back into the room with Morton.
"HAHA Dipper! I win! In your face!" Mabel teased.
"Why do you always have to act like a child?" Dipper jabbed.
"Why do you always have to act like a Negative Nancy?" Mabel shot back.
Shinsetsu comes between them.
"Good job, now leave them here." They noticed two regular chairs.
They placed the ex-members on the chair and tied them with robe.
They waited a few moments for the ex-members to wake up.
"Hello traitors." Shinsetsu stares into the two of them. The traitors were in terror because their ex-boss was face to face to them. Her expression was unchanged at the moment.
"...You know, I'm honestly baffled. I kick both of you out for being incompetent and the next thing I know, you come back and have the audacity to kill my subordinates without thinking of the consequences...And the worst about it is that you were sent to kill Dipper and Mabel Pines. So you basically killed those people for no reason."
Shinsetsu's tone was sharp and dangerous. Even though she didn't show it, she was mad.
"Now, I am a fair woman. If you answer all my questions truthfully. I might see reason to let you both leave here. Understood?"
Both ex-members nod.
"First question, how were you able to bypass the forcefield around the cathedral?" Shinsetsu questioned.
"WHAT?!" The twins exclaimed.
"Yeah...As a security measure, hidden in the cathedral is a machine that activates an invisible forcefield that not only keeps demons...Oh shit, I just realized I forgot to mention the whole forcefield thing! TLDR, it keeps demons from entering the cathedral. And I guess it detected your human blood despite having demon blood too...Good for you both I guess...But going back with the security measure, ex-members of the organization are integrated into the machine. So if they ever set a foot upon the cathedral, my machine would give me a signal..."
CPU turned to the ex-members.
"Yet they bypassed that function entirely...How odd..."
"So tell me, how did you two do it, how did you sneak past CPU's security?" Shinsetsu demanded.
"And why should we tell you?" Morton questioned.
Wave then appeared in front of Morton, holding what appeared to be a steel khyber blade except it the blade itself was light blue. It was aimed near his next.
"Because if you don't, then your never gonna perform another magic trick ever again." Wave warned.
"...Fine...I'll tell you." Morton reached into his pocket and pulled out a small type of paper with what looked to a drawn eye except it was red.
"These tags helped us become invisible. That's how we were able to sneak here undetected." Morton explained.
Wave snatched the tag from his hand and gave it to CPU.
"Something like this can by pass the forcefield? I'll have to take a look into this." CPU states.
"Second question, I know you work for Arkham, I don't care how you two joined forces with him, I want to know what the hell his plan is." Shinsetsu ordered.
"I don't know." Naomi answered.
Wave made sure to place his blade near Naomi's neck.
"Wrong answer."
"I'm telling the truth. Arkham told us to come here and kill Dipper and Mabel Pines. He said that doing so would benefit him when he rules the world." Naomi explained.
"But how is he going to achieve this plan?! We have to stop him so in order to prevent more people from dying!" Shinsetsu yelled out.
Morton looked terrified while Naomi started laughing.
"...Your laughing? Pray tell me what you find so hilarious in the situation you've brought onto yourself?" The leader states, clearly not amused.
Naomi stopped laughing and stares at her ex-boss, with no fear.
"I just find it so funny that you give a damn about your coworkers lives when you clearly don't! For fuck sakes, you literally hire people to get slaughtered by beings from HELL! Your honestly ridiculous! Look at how many people you drag into this stupid game of humans vs demons! Like her for example!" Naomi gestures to Wendy.
"What do you know about me?" Wendy questioned.
"Oh a lot! Especially the fact that Shinsetsu took you in when-"
"This is your last warning. Tell us what Arkham's plan is or face the consequences." Shinsetsu cut her off in a cold tone.
Dipper and Mabel did hear that odd information.
"Come closer, I'll tell you..." Shinsetsu leaned her face closer to Naomi.
The ninja then spit on the leader's face.
"Go to hell bitch!" Naomi said while smiling.
Everyone in the room, even Wave was surprised at this action.
"...I see...Your not gonna comply...That's fine..." Her tone was low and quiet. She wiped the spittle from her face.
She turned to Dipper and Mabel and smiled.
"You two have done a great job dealing with them...But there is one more act you need to do to become S-rank...Take their lives."
The whole room became quiet upon that declaration.
Wendy of course was the first to break that silence.
"Shinsetsu, you can't be serious! You can't just have them-"
"Wendy, I decide things here, not you. I thought you understood that." Shinsetsu argued.
She turned to the twins.
"I want both of you to kill them...Without any hesitation."
Mabel was pondering this, while Dipper said nothing as he walked up to Morton, who looked scared for his life.
"L-Listen man, you don't have to listen to her...You can just leave man..."
Dipper's expression remained unchanged as he unsheathed Yamato.
"...If this is about me killing those people...I didn't mean it!...I just wanted to show them how great I am!...PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Morton begged. Tears streaming down his face.
"...Remember when I said if I wasn't ordered to kill you, your head would be rolling onto the floor?" Dipper said coldly.
"WAIT I-"
Dipper quickly slashed his neck.
Morton's neck spurted red blood, before his head, fell off his body and landed on the floor.
"Good Dipper, Mabel your next."
Mabel looked nervous about this, but decided to walk to Naomi anyway, who was already spilling tears.
"No...NOOOO! DON'T KILL ME! LOCK ME UP FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!...I'd rather take that then death!" Naomi begged.
Mabel said nothing as she took out Ebony and aimed it at her head.
"...You would seriously become that woman's lapdog!? Do you have any idea how many people she had inadvertently killed over the years. How she has signed them for death upon taking this life! I...I never wanted this life!...I'm begging you, please don't pull the trigger!" The ninja cried out to Mabel.
"Shinsetsu this is enough! Why are you making them do this?!" Wendy argued.
"To test their resolve." The leader answered.
"...Truthfully, I want to believe you, I want to believe that you are generally a good person who got caught in these wrong circumstances..." Naomi smiled at Mabel, believing that she would let her live.
"But I can't overlook the fact that you and your partner murdered innocent people...You also took pleasure in doing so...AND you worked with Arkham, that bastard who's sliced up scientist almost killed my friends!...Perhaps you do deserve this."
"NO-"
BANG
The bullet shot through her brain, killing Naomi instantly, her corpse slumped.
"Good job you two...I understand the weight of taking a human life. But we knights have taken oaf to end demon lives while preserve human lives. Should one deviate from the oaf of the Order of the Sword and take a human life or side with the demons...They would be terminated with extreme prejudice...In other words, the moment those two snuck up back here and started taking human lives, they were set up for execution."
She then smiled.
"You two have demonstrated great strength and resolve...Plus your ancestry with Nero is also a factor...Congratulations, welcome to the Order of the Sword."
CPU walked up to the twins and placed both his hands on their shoulders.
"I knew you two would've impressed them. So glad you proved me right." CPU smiled.
The kid with the red hat ran up to the twins, beaming a smile.
"My name is Runus! So glad to have new teammates!" Runus said.
"...I've been meaning to ask, how old are you exactly." Dipper questioned.
"I'm 10 years old!" He proudly states.
Both twins to the leader with concerned expressions.
"Relax, Runus here has proven himself time and time again. Why do you he's in S-rank for a reason?" Shinsetsu told them.
The green skinned woman walked up to the twins.
"My name is Druid." She spoke.
"Druid, like those in fantasy?" Dipper asked.
Druid nods. "Yes, there's actually more of us here in Gravity Falls, I'm different because I was born from a mixture of nature and demon blood...Thanks to it, I'm a healer and treat the injured." Druid smiled.
"No way...Mixing nature with demon blood? I have so many questions! How did you take your physical form? Do you age? Are you immune to diseases? Can you-"
Mabel chopped Dipper in the head.
"We have no times for 20 questions Dipper. Shut that nerd shit down!" Mabel states.
The teen noticed the guy with a black hoodie, preoccupied with his game.
"Who's that?" Mabel asked.
"That's Lucky...We just allow him to do what he wants."
"How come?" Dipper asked.
"Let's just say...He brings a certain calamity wherever he goes."
Gloria walks up to the twins.
"We already met. Glad to know you two will be cooperating with us." Gloria told them with a smile.
"...Same..." Dipper said. The twins were still unsure about Gloria. They didn't know why, but they felt something off about her.
And finally, Wave begrudgingly walks up to the twins while crossing his arms.
"...I'll admit, you two proved to me today that you aren't totally useless."
"Thanks cyclops!"
Wave's gaze became sharp. "However! The rest of them may be okay with you two anomalies, but I'm not! Should either of you do anything that would harm or even kill any of my allies. I will not hesitate to kill both of you on the spot!" Wave declared.
"That's fine, we have the same goal, protecting Gravity Falls from demons." Dipper replied as he was unfazed by Wave's threat.
"Give us a few days to clean up the mess left by Naomi and Morton, and we'll help you both understand your roles in this organization."
The leader turned to Wendy.
"So Wendy, are you happy that your long time friends are officially members?" Shinsetsu asked.
Wendy just scowls at her and turns around to leave.
"Looks like Wendy is having one of her moods again..." CPU said casually.
"Watch what you say about her, I understand why she's mad though. I should apologize to her after she cools down." The leader said.
She turns back to the twins. "You both are free to leave now. CPU will come on a later date to pick you guys up."
Dipper and Mabel were heading to the door.
"One last thing..."
Both twins stop and turn to Shinsetsu.
"You both have a huge responsibility to fill, don't disappoint me." She states.
The twins left the room.
"I don't think Morton and Naomi were working alone...Even if they used these tags to bypass my security...I'm more concerned the fact that they chose to attack the twins when we entered the base. And there's also the fact that they knew about the twins existence and bloodline WAY before I explained it to you guys apart from Gloria...And their correlation with Faust Stein before his death is also concerning...Shinsetsu, I believe there is a traitor among us." CPU addressed in a serious tone.
The leader nods. "I have the same thoughts CPU, we have a mole in our base. Someone who is aiding Arkham with his schemes. Even though we don't have a suspect right now, we need to be on high alert and can't let anything like today happen again...Right now, we need to collect the bodies of the dead and restore our building. CPU, good news, your no longer have to do laps, you'll spend the rest of the day on restoring the infrastructures of the base."
The man shrugs. "Better than doing laps."
Dipper and Mabel see Wendy's students.
"Hey guys, you have any idea why Wendy looked pissed?" Sam questioned.
"Well, Shinsetsu made us kill Morton and Naomi." Dipper said without hesitation.
This surprised the team.
"...Well, they were scumbags and cowards, so they got what they deserved." Razor said.
"I'm honestly surprised that they weren't incarcerated." Trent said.
"Consider the amount of shit they done, I'm not surprised Shinsetsu told us to kill them." Dipper said.
"But, why do you think Wendy was upset about it? She's already an established member, I thought she was used to something like that?" Mabel questioned.
"Wendy has always been like that, from the year we spent with her at least." Sam mentioned.
"Speaking of which, she did say you two have become official members of the Order of the Sword...Congrats I guess...And thank you."
Dipper, Mabel, and even Razor's team were surprised by that last sentence.
The blonde scratched his head and looked sheepish.
"...Today you both have proved me wrong...You guys risked your lives to save people in this organization. And you Dipper, saved me and my friends from that cursed hat...I at least now know 100% that you guys aren't the enemies."
Sam chuckles a little.
"My my, I never thought I'd see the day you became humble." Sam told him.
"Glad to know you can be rational when your not screaming 24/7." Trent jabbed.
"SHUT UP!..I just used common sense that's all! Is that a crime or something?!" Razor yelled out, embarrassed.
"Oh Razor, remember our a little deal?" Dipper mentioned.
Razor stops and turns to Dipper.
Mabel looked intrigued.
"Deal, what deal?" Mabel questioned.
"Oh, Dipper and Razor made a deal all because Razor wasn't sure Dipper could cut through Morton's hat dimension, which Dipper did."
"Hmm, I'm curious, what was the deal?" Mabel wondered.
"Something about apologizing to Candy." Sam answered.
"Candy? What does she have to do with anything?" Mabel asked.
"Yeah Razor, I'm also curious about what happened with you and the girl." Trent added.
The three stare at Razor.
Fortunately, Dipper answered for him.
"He tried to ask Candy out on a date, but she rejected him." Dipper said.
"Figures/Makes sense." Sam and Trent said at the same time.
Mabel walks up to Razor and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright dude. Take it from me who had failed romances before, there's plenty of other fish in the sea." Mabel said.
"...Yeah, thanks...Anyway, I'm sure your friends are probably worried about you." Razor said.
"I think I'll stay here for a while, Dipper you can go." Mabel told them.
Dipper nods.
Both Razor and Dipper walk out of the cathedral and enter the train station to return to the university.
The two 19 year olds are in the train going back to where they came from.
Dipper said nothing as Razor's eyes were shadowed.
"...Twice."
"Huh?"
"You could've ratted me out and told them what I did to your friend, but you intentionally lied for me twice...Why would you do that for someone who not to long ago, tried to kill you?" Razor's voice was low.
"Because of Wendy." Dipper answered.
Razor's eyes points to Dipper, confused.
"What does Wendy have to do with anything?" Razor questioned.
"It's been five years since we saw all our friends at Gravity Falls, I never thought we would see Wendy again until today...Hell, I never knew Wendy was apart of an organization for hunting and killing demons. When she mentioned she had a team, I knew she would be upset if she found out you tried to hurt Candy, someone she knew besides us. And considering the organization doesn't take it to kindly to hurting/killing humans, I knew I made the right call." Dipper explained.
Razor was speechless as he let those words sink in.
His face broke into a smile, but it was a sad one.
"...Just like Mom." He muttered.
"What?"
"...I was an orphan, and no Weirdmaggedon didn't make me an orphan, I was born as one. Either my parents were dead or shitty lowlives, I honestly didn't give a damn. At age 4, I was adopted by a wonderful woman who couldn't bear children. To me, she was the parent I needed, the one I could call Mom...But then...But then..."
His fists were shaken.
"She was possessed by a demon...The woman I called Mom was gone...I couldn't fight her, I couldn't run...I couldn't do anything about her...I was sure I was dead until..."
"Wendy showed up and saved you." Dipper concluded.
"No, it was actually Wave who saved me."
Dipper blinked for a moment. "Wave, the guy with the eye patch, the same guy who hated me and my sister from the start?" Dipper questioned.
Razor laughed. "Sounds like you met him. I hear he's a bit of an asshole, but he's a great swordsman, arguably one of the best in our organization...That's why I joined the Order of the Sword and became a swordsman, to become S-rank, so I can be by his side and repay him for saving his life." Razor declared.
Dipper smiled at this. "I think you have a noble goal."
The train stops at their destination.
"Looks like this is our stop." Dipper said.
Dipper and Razor were in the dorms.
Dipper knocked at the door.
"Hey its me."
The door opened and Candy was excited to see Dipper.
"Oh Dipper! How did everything go?" She asked.
"Fine, me and Mabel became members, we'll talk more once we meet with Grenda, Mabel, and Pacifica." Dipper said.
"That's great!" Candy looks and sees Razor was here as well, looking nervous.
"Hey...Candy is it? About what happened...I admit it was a dick move...I honestly thought Dipper was a threat. You already heard how that mission was a fake, it was still not right of me to try and hurt you...I'm sorry." Razor said sincerely.
Candy stared at him for a moment and smiled.
"It's okay, I forgive you. At the end of the day, you were just trying to do your job. I just wish you weren't acting like a psychopath earlier." Candy expressed.
Razor grinned.
"In that case...How about I take you on a date to make it up to you?" Razor asked.
"Umm...No thanks, your not really my type." Candy said.
Razor sighs, "That's fine."
Razor walks away from the two.
"Oh yeah! Candy wasn't there something you wanted to ask me?" Dipper mentioned.
Candy then remembered she was trying to ask out Dipper before being interrupted by Razor.
"Right! Well Dipper, now that were alone...I just want to say that...That...I...L-L-L-L...LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOUR TIME AT THE ORDER OF THE SWORD!" Candy yelled out.
"...Okay, like I said, we'll talk more about it when the rest of our group meet...See ya." Dipper walks away.
Candy just facepalmed in embarrassment.
"Damn it! I did it again!"
Gloria aka Trish was in Arkham's office.
"The plan went off without a hitch." Arkham expressed.
"You can say that again." Trish said.
"Hehe...Those two fools were easy to manipulate. They foolishly sacrificed their lives believing they could kill the twins." Arkham chuckled.
"True, their only use was to plant the seeds of distrust in the organization." Trish said.
"Exactly. And you mentioned that the twins are now the Order of the Sword's lapdogs...Perfect."
"May I ask a question?"
"You may." Arkham said.
"As of right now, nobody suspects me as the traitor. But if a situation should come as me being revealed as the mole, what plan of action should I take?"
"It is of no concern, and even if it should happen, by the time they found, it would've been too late. Everything depends on the twins and my ungrateful daughter." Arkham states.
"To a new world order." Trish states.
"To a new world order." Arkham states with a smile.
Mabel was enjoying the scenery as she was on top of the roof.
"Nice view isn't it." Runus appears next to her.
"Runus right? I don't mean to be rude, but how did someone like you became an S-rank."
"...Weirdmageddon really changed everything huh." Runus said.
"Yeah...It was truly something." Mabel said, a bit nervous.
"You know...I always wondered how that hell even happened in the first place." Runus continued.
"I'm sure those who survived Weirdmageddon would say that." Mabel answered.
"Not my parents." He spoke in a monotone.
Mabel with a shocked expression stared at Runus.
"I was 5 when they were killed...You know how they died?...They were eaten by a demon...I watched while they were screaming...Their screams still haunt my dreams...I keep thinking to myself...Why did my parents have to die?...Who was responsible for Weirdmaggedon?" Runus continued in a monotone.
"Bill Cypher! Bill Cypher is the reason why your parents died! Now he's a statue, you've gotten justice!" Mabel was now panicking at the boy's revelation.
He slowly turned to Mabel and his expression was emotionless.
"Not really, because the person responsible for giving the Rift to Bill in order to start Weirdmageddon is sitting right next to me, isn't that right Mabel Pines?"
"How did-"
"I can read your mind. It was an ability granted to me when a demon did this to me."
Runus took off his hat to reveal something horrible under his hat.
It looked to be an eye, except the skin covering it was orange, the sclera was indigo and its eye was red. It looked attached to Runus's head. The even moved upon seeing Mabel.
"...It would be really interesting if everyone in the organization found out how Weirdmaggedon started. Why Gravity Falls has been haunted by demons for 5 years. And shocked that the descendant of Nero, was the reason Bill Cypher terrorized this town." Runus then smiled darkly.
"You wouldn't dare-"
"Now now, I'm not unreasonable. You and your brother did stop Naomi and Morton. So you guys are definitely good."
"...What do you want?" Mabel questioned, she knew she was in a precarious situation.
"At the moment nothing. Just remember, I know what you've done Mabel Pines. I expect something out of you in return and if you can't grant me that, then your little secret comes out...Goodbye."
Runus walks away from Mabel.
Leaving Mabel to say two things.
"...We're fucked."
Chapter End
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Next chapter, more focus into Wendy and her team as they deal with a new mission involving rescue! And Lady comes back. Until then, Scourge7 is out!
