At Emelda's request, Grenda fought her way through the nefarious East Pines Park to defeat the monsters infesting the park. There, she subdued one of the West Park Employees; Muscle Man who had been under the control of the enemy. Upon returning Muscle Man to himself, Grenda was shocked to learn the real leader behind the conflict, a land in the future was teeming with monsters pouring from the Dimensional Portal. What was more, the forces were apparently lead by other than Mabel's brother; Dipper himself. Wishing to figure this out, Grenda and her new allies made their way into the future. When they arrived, they were greeted by the hostile Pines boy.


Back at the main Park, Grenda walked through the doors to see Muscle Man eating Chicken Wings on the couch.

"I see you're doing ok." She smiled. "Any other problems?"

"None, Muscle Girl." The green man replied. "I'm doing just fine."

Grenda tilted her head. "Muscle Girl?"

Muscle Man looked nervous. "I mean I don't know your name, but since you had muscles, and you're a girl, I just-".

"No, no It's fine." Grenda nodded. "I get it. I am buff. But for the record, my real name is Grenda."

"Got it, Grenda." Muscle Man nodded. "Anyways, thanks for freeing me from that dark spell. I totally would have ripped you all apart if it wasn't for you guys."

"No problem." She shrugged. "But what happened anyways? How did those monsters get here? And how did you get roped in with them?"

"Well, the first thing I remember was waking up in the middle of East Pines, some of the workers there found me, captured me and brought me before Gene, where be prepared to prank me for trespassing. A few moments later, those monsters showed up and with them was some strange kid with a Pine Tree Hat with pale skin and green eyes. He ordered the East Pines personnel to be tied up and taken away."

"Mabel's brother was leading those monsters?" Grenda wondered aloud.

"Who's Mabel?" asked Benson.

"My best friend." Grenda told him. "Well...one of them. She has a twin brother named Dipper. He went missing during the invasion of our world, but it seems he's ok...but...not okay if he's somehow leading our army. But what happened, how were you brainwashed?"

"Well, he told me that they had kidnapped Starla and that if I ever wanted to see her again, I would have to do exactly what they said. They handed me a drink and-"

"Hold on." Benson cut him off. "Last you told us, you said she was being protected from Grenda, Mason, and those creatures."

"No." Muscle Man replied. "I definitely remember it being, 'we kidnapped your girl and you'll have to follow our orders if you ever want to see her alive again.' Yeah, that sounded right."

"Then...why did you tell us..." Benson was about to ask when Emelda flew forward with Mason behind her.

"I have a theory." Emelda flew forward. "When they fed you that drink, it must have messed up your thought process, which is why you weren't willing to listen to Benson when he tried to talk you down."

"But that doesn't explain those earth powers." Muscle Man added.

"Well, looking back on experience, Sage powers tend to activate when one expresses a desire to protect something or someone they love with all their heart." Emelda surmised. "When you fought against us in a desire to protect Starla, that must have awakened your powers."

"But what about that strange, strong Fire?" asked Benson. "How did that activate?"

"When you expressed your selfless desire to protect your home." Emelda told him. "That allowed you to be chosen as the Sage of Fire."

"And what are these sages?" asked Benson.

"They are 12 dimensional champions who were said to have defended the dimensions from threats from other worlds." She explained. "They each possess a different element: Light, Darkness, Fire, Water, Lightning, Nature, Shadow, Spirit, Earth, Wind, Ice, and Stars."

"Two of them are with us, but in a different group." Grenda told them. "You see other rifts appeared to other dimension and they tackled those while we came here. They're the sages of Nature and Ice. And this evil witch on the bad guys' side said Dipper is the Sage of Darkness. But Dipper is a good guy, he's usually not the evil guys' ally."

"If he's normally their enemy, Then chances are he's brainwashed just like Muscle Man was." Benson surmised.

Mason said nothing on the matter...It looks like they're craftier than I expected. Not only are they brainwashing sages to keep them from being a threat, they're also trying to turn us against each other by taking on our forms. Well, it's a good thing I'm wearing this armor so they don't know who I am. But still, we'll have to defeat this imposter before I reveal my identity to Mabel and the others."

"Do you know where they came from?" Emelda asked Muscle Man?

"I...I'm not sure," Muscle Man replied. "Like I said, they just appeared out of the blue."

"Then that means they must have appeared out of another rift." Mason surmised. "We'll have to split up and find it."

At that moment. Gene and two Manotaurs entered the house.

"Our scouts have just reported something." Gene told them.

"Well, that was fast." Grenda remarked. "Alright guys, let's get up and get out."

The others got off the couch and began to grab their weapons.


A few minutes later they reached a northern cliffside of the park where there was another rift stationed.

"Is it dangerous?" Asked Benson.

Emelda shook her head. "It isn't, but this is definitely how those monsters got here. They must have been able to come here from through the gateway."

"And where does it lead?" Asked Muscle Man. "Will it take us to Starla?"

"Only one way to find out." Mason spoke up.

He poked his head through much to everyone's shock.

A few moments later he took it back out.

"I don't know WHAT this place is, but I'm willing to bet it's where our enemies are."

Grenda nodded in understanding before turning back to the Manotaurs and Gnomes. "Round up the rest of our troops and tell them to redezvous with us through the rift. We have a new destination."

"Yes." Carson nodded before rushing off.

"Alright." Mason spoke as he, Emelda, Grenda, Benson, Muscle Man and Gene turned to the gateway. "Let's go."

They all stepped through and vanished into the next dimension.


4224 AD

The rift stood in the distance from a giant museum.

In large words the sign read: Museum of the Night Owl.

"Woah." Exclaimed Benson. "What is this place?"

"It looks to be like some sort of museum in the far distant future." Mason whispered.

"I sense an evil presence inside there." Emelda frowned. "It's the same aura of those who attacked the forest."

"You think one of the commanders is in there?" Mason asked his fairy companion.

Emelda nodded. "I am certain."

"And Starla too." Muscle Man added.

Everyone turned to him.

"How do you know that?" Grenda asked him.

"I feel like I can start remembering things." Muscle Man spoke up. That Pine Tree kid showed me an image through a strange ring on his finger. It showed Starla being tied up and led into that huge Museum. Chances are that's where she is."

"Then it's also going to be heavily guarded," Mason commented. "We can't just barge in there, not with an enemy general in there and all."

"Let's first set up base somewhere," Benson told them. He looked around. "But where would be a good place?"

"How about there?" a gruff voice came from the distance.

They looked up and saw a familiar face approach them.

"Skips!" Benson cried. "You're here!"

Skips nodded. "After the merge, I woke up here with Margaret."

"Margaret?" asked Emelda.

"She's the ex-girlfriend of one of my employees." Benson told her. "Where is she?"

"Last I heard she went ahead to the Museum, but then those monsters appeared and I haven't seen her since." He replied. "I just hope she's OK."

"Chances are they took her as well as Starla." Muscle Man frowned. "They would stoop this low to kidnap innocent people. I won't rest until Starla is safe."

Everyone was surprised at the way Muscle Man was speaking.

"Is he always like this?" asked Mason.

Skips shrugged. "Looks like love really does make you do crazy things."

"Anyways. Let's attack the museum." Emelda told them. "But first thing's first. Noah."

Noah the gnome walked forward and handed out four communi-crystals for Benson, Gene, Skips and Muscle Man.

"What are they?" asked Gene as he examined one.

"They'll allow us to stay in touch with one another." the fairy told them. "Now let's go save those two women and close the Universal Portal!"

[BGM: Sequence of Drops HW]

Suddenly a giant digital screen appeared before the museum. On its face was Dipper Pines, however, his whole appearance looked rather pale, like the paper clones he once used though he did have the pine tree on his hat rather than a blank face on the white.

"Invaders." He scowled bitterly. "Troops, destroy them for me."

Several Skullkin began advancing toward them behind them were two Lizard Men.

"Mabel's brother." Grenda exclaimed. "No. He would never try to attack us like this!"

"Let's worry about this later." Benson pulled out his Fire Rod. "For now let's focus on taking these guys down."

Everyone readied their weapons and charged at the Skull Kin.

"First Muscle Man, and now this." Grenda spoke aloud. "Who is controlling our friends like this?"

Mason chose to keep his mouth shut. "We must find him. If we do, I'm certain we'll also find the Universal Portal."

They approached the oncoming troops and readied their weapons.

Grenda slashed away at several of the enemies with her giant blade while Mason cut away at some with his Sword and Shield.

However as they focused on all the skullkin, they were left unaware of the oncoming Lizalfos who readied their claws to swipe them down.

Suddenly two golden metal gloves shot out and trapped both humanoid reptiles by the throat.

The two looked up and saw Skips glaring his enemies down.

"Stay away from those two kids." He snarled before slamming them into the ground.

"Use this!" Emelda cried as she gestured to a Manotaur to deliver a golden spiked flail for him.

Skips grabbed it before slamming the flail into his foes so they vanished into purple smoke.

"Woah." exclaimed Mason, "Thank you for the rescue."

"Don't thank me yet." Skips told them. "We're not out of the woods yet."

Benson, Gene, and Muscle Man rushed up.

"We need to get into the Museum." Gene spoke up. "Any suggestions on how to break in?"

Skips noticed a nearby control box in a keep in front of the museum.

"If I can capture that keep, then maybe we'll be able to use that control box to open the gates."

"Good idea." Mason praised.

Skips then skipped over to the keep when suddenly several more enemies appeared in front of him.

"They're guarding the keep!" he exclaimed. "We'll just have to break through!"

"I'll cover you." Mason promised as he held up his weapons.

Grenda drew her Blade. "Same here!"

Several Lizard men rushed past them but they we're heading off into the distance.

"They're heading for the base!" Grenda cried.

"Leave them to us!" Gene exclaimed as he held up his Rod.

They then hurried after the reptiles with flashes of fire, ice and earth taking up the space near the Duty Free Shop they were passing by.

Skips readied his new flail with the Fists of Justice and swung it around, shattering the bones of the Skullkin, reducing them to dust and dark smoke.

He then thrust it forward into the last skullkin, finally clearing the keep.

Skips then approached the control box and saw that the multicolored flickering buttons on it.

"How to we use it to get in?" asked Mason. "This all looks too complex, even for me."

Skips stared at it for a moment...before he punched it with his fist, causing The Armored Phantom and the gruff girl to jump back.

"I...don't think that's going to he-" Mason was about to speak when suddenly the museum doors began to whir and they slid open.

"Well looks like it did work." Grenda exclaimed. "Now we can get it!"

"Yes." agreed Emelda. "Let us mount an attack on this museum."

"We'll handle the enemies outside." said Benson.

"Not me." said Muscle Man. "I'm going with you to save Starla. Besides I kinda owe you for beating you all up back at East Pines"

Mason, Emelda, Grenda, Skips and Muscle Man all ran through the doors, plowing through the Skullkin and Wizarlocks that poured out the doors.

"Dipper is in there." said Emelda. "And chances are he's not going to greet us as a friend."

"That kid from the screen?" asked Skips. "But why?"

"Because it's obviously not the real Dipper." said Mason. "It's likely a trick someone is using to confuse everyone. First to brainwash Muscle Man and then throw those from his world into disarray. We have to expose him."

"Agreed." said Skips. "Maybe there's some sort of tool we can use to help us." He grabbed a digital map and swiped through the contents before stopping on something. How about this. "The Mirror of Truth?"

"That sounds exactly like what we need!" exclaimed Mason. "Where is it located?"

"Somewhere in the middle of the Museum." Skips continued to examine the map further.

Suddenly more enemies began to charge at them.

"Hold them off for me." He asked. "I'll grab the mirror."

"Got it." Muscle Man glared at the skullkin as he readied his Hammer. "Ready, Muscle Girl and...uh Knight boy?"

"Yep/yes." They both said before charging on ahead.


Skips made his way to the center of the museum where he saw several objects within glass cases.

He scoured over them until he found what he was looking for.

"A-ha!" He exclaimed. "The Mirror of Truth. This is just what we need."

He smashed the glass with his fist before grabbing the artifact.

"Now to get this back to the others."

He hurried back the way he came when suddenly the metal shutter doors slammed down. Trapping him in the exhibit.

He groaned. "Of course they would do this to me once I got here." He called out. "GUYS! A little help here!"


Muscle Man finished by slamming his hammer into several skullkin, finishing him off. "I think that's all of them."

"Now we just have to wait for Skips to come back with the Mirror of Truth." said Mason.

"Don't bother." a mocking voice came from the speakers.

The fake Dipper appeared on a digital screen.

"I've captured your ally. If you want him to remain safe, then surrender."

He showed an image of Skips trapped in the central hall, with several skullkin and Lizardmen spawning around him. More than he could handle on his own.

"What kind of coward takes hostages?!" Mason snapped. "You're making m-I mean Dipper look bad!"

Skips' voice came from their Communi-Crystals.

"Try cutting the power in the museum!" He told them. "That should open the gates and get me out of here!"

The three nodded before Dipper spoke up again.

"Try anything silly, and your friends outside get it too!"

Several Wizarlocks were shown charging outside the museum towards Benson and Gene.

"Let's split up." Mason whispered. "One of us will go to save Benson and Gene while the rest of us save Skips."

Muscle Man charged after the assault troops leaving Grenda and Mason behind.

"Search the west." Mason told her. "I'll search the East."

"Right." Grenda nodded. "But are you sure you're ok with going on your own?"

"He's not alone." Emelda fluttered next to Dipper. "I think you should ask yourself that question though."

"I'm fine too." replied Grenda as she gestured to her pet iguana perched on her shoulder.

"Duly noted." Sprye remarked before they parted ways.


Muscle Man charged forward with his Naginata onto the Wizarlocks who were harassing Benson and Gene.

He thrust it forward allowing a flurry of dust, dirt and rocks to crash into the monsters,

With them weakened, he plunged it into the ground allowing a mound of earth to poof them.

"Hey, thanks!" Benson exclaimed.

"Don't thank me yet." Muscle Man told him. "We're not done, just yet."

He turned to several more enemies charging at them

The three nodded and charged.


Mason hurried through the east of the Museum.

"Where could the box be?" He asked.

"I'm sensing a gathering of enemies near the south of this place." Emelda told him. In the Southest room over there.

"Then that's where our power box must be." Mason smirked.

He charged towards the keep which was occupied by monsters.

Readying his sword he released several dark slashes, and eliminated the enemies in the room.

He rushed towards a fuse box in the back, opened it, and pulled down the switch that gave the main room power.

"Skips!" Mason exclaimed into his crystal, "I just cut the power to the Main room, you should be free to get out!"

"Sorry to disappoint but that only caused the lights in here to flicker for a few moments, there must be another box in the museum somewhere!" was the reply he got.

"Not to worry." He replied. "Grenda can handle it."


Inside Grenda made her way to the southwest keep of the Museum and noticed a fuse box.

"That must be it!" she exclaimed.

Suddenly Lizzard Men and Skullkin appeared before her.

"Looks like I'll just have to fight it out." she grimaced before charging forward.

She ran forward screaming with her blaze but these Lizard Men were more prepared and quickly locked blades.

They proved stronger because the next thing Grenda knew, her blade was sent flying out of her hands, and out the window, and she was sent sprawling into a glass case that broke.

The Lizard Man cackled as they closed in on her.

"Stay back!" She shouted as she grabbed a giant Blue sword that was in the case, and tried to stand up but she had taken such a beating that she couldn't and fell back down on her rear.

They laughed louder. said, STAY BACK!" she shouted as she swung the blade.

Suddenly a torrent of water shot from the blade and sent the nearest Lizard Man flying back.

Grenda looked at her new weapon in amazement before smirking.

The Skullkin began to cower and their bones began to literally rattle.

Grenda charged forward and swung her blade, allowing blasts of water to escape and stagger the Lizard Men.

She drew her blade back and with one final water charged swipe, she literally wiped the room clean.

With them out of the way she rushed over to the fuse box and pulled down the switch to the main room.


The Main Room flickered with electricity before dying down, the metal doors opened.

"It worked!" Skips exclaimed. "Now I can get out of here!"

He was cut off when a Wizarlock attacked him.

"That is if I manage to survive the next few minutes."

He bumped his fists together, creating an electrical burst of energy between the FoJ. He then fist-pounded the ground, sending three electric bursts forward which sent the Wizarlocks flying back. He then did a large swipe with his left hand while holding the flail eliminating the rest off.

Two Lizalnoids them appeared behind him prepared to get the jump on him when...

Two blades sliced them down.

Skips looked up to see Mason and Grenda, the latter with her new weapon.

"Thanks for the save." Skips smiled.

"No prob, Skips." Mason nodded. "Come on, let's find the fake me...an Dipper. The fake and mean Dipper and take him down."

"YEAH!" Grenda cheered. "Let's do this!"

She raced down the halls as Mason followed.

Skips narrowed his eyes as to what Skips said, suspiciously at what this child knight said.

"He's quick to call the kid leading these monsters a fake." He thought, "Does that mean he's...well, we'll have to wait and see after we defeat the evil one. I'll talk to him myself when he's alone."

He followed them.


They arrived at a southern point of the museum.

"So any idea where he may be?" asked Grenda.

"Well according to the map there is an office riiiiight..." Mason stopped when they ran into a dead end. "Here."

"It's just a wall." Grenda complained.

"It's a magic illusion." Skips told them. "Observe."

He held out the mirror of truth towards the wall and it began to shine before dying down to reveal the Owl's Office.

"What happened?!" Grenda exclaimed. "The wall disappeared, and a passage opened."

They burst in to see several monsters guarding the fake Dipper. Behind them was the Universal Portal.

[BGM: Boss Battle OoT HW]

The Fake Dipper glared. "I have no idea how you broke my spell, but no matter. You leave me no recourse."

He raised his hands in a similar manner Bill did back at the Valley of Ruins and shouted. "Come forth, my loyal servant, Komodo-Saur. Burn my foes to the bone!"

A ball of light shot out from the portal and landed outside to reveal.

"Komodo-Saur." Mason whispered. "He'll crush everyone outside to bits."

"I'll head out and stop him." Skips told them.

"You'll need me!" Emelda flew up. "According to what Mason told me, Mabel and his Sister defeated it with bombs and sage power!"

"Well, we have two Sages out there." nodded Skips. "But we'll need bombs!"

"Our Gnomes and Manotaurs have those covered." Emelda told him.

"Great." Skips smirked.

They raced out of the office.

"So I guess it's just the three of us." fake Dipper glared.

"Yeah." glared Mason. "It's Two against one. We'll crush you."

"You? Crush me?" Mason cackled. "Ok, I see how outmatched I am with how strong the two of you look, but maybe I can even those odds with THIS!"

He pulled out a dark sword and shield, resembling the ones Mason used. Only there were dark. The Shield was purple and emblazoned with two evil eyes while the sword had a blacked curved hilt and a slender blade with glowing runes on it.

"Let's dance." He smirked.

Mason and Grenda charged at him. The former locking blades and resonating two waves of dark energy in either direction.


Outside, Komodo-Saur shot out a ball of fire at a few Gnomes, but Gene shot out his ice rod to freeze the fireball.

Muscle Man plunged his Naginata into the ground and send up several mounds of earth to block the beast but it crashed through them with a roll.

"Dang, this thing's tough!" Noah grunted. "How to we beat it?"

"How about we fight fire with fire!" Benson suggested as he flared his rod up with energy.

A dragon of fire magic appeared and blasted at the beast but only managed to singe its scales.

"What?" He exclaimed. "What sort of threat are we even dealing with?!"

"Everyone, Fall back!" Gene screamed.

The three started at run as the dinosaur opened its mouth to charge up an intense ball of fire before letting loose.

"GET DOWN!" Benson noticed it and everyone ducked as the ball soared over their heads and into a nearby building.

They turned to see the monster approaching them.

"This is the end." whimpered Gene. "Our attacks don't have any effect against that guy. We're done for."

"Starla." Muscle Man whispered. "I'm Sorry."

The monster began to charge up another attack when Skips suddenly jumped in with his gauntlets ready.

"Alright you dumb dinosaur, time for you to go extinct again." He snarled.

He summoned a Bomb from the Bomb Sack and hurled it down its throat.

This stunned the Komodosaur and it fell to the ground.

Skips turned to the others.

"Everyone! Attack it with all you got!" He yelled.

The others nodded and charged at the beast with their weapons ready.


Meanwhile back inside, Mason and Grenda were bringing the heat against the fake Dipper.

Mason traded blows with his opponent, parrying when the sword was thrust at him and then thrusting his own sword forth once he found an opening.

However, both of them were equals physically when it came to sword fighting. Though there was one difference between them...

Grenda jumped up from behind Mason and used her new Blade to summon a flurry of water blasts to soak the fake boy.

"Grenda." The fake Dipper acted all scared and nervous all of a sudden. "Why are you doing this? I just want to see Mabel again. That's the only reason I teamed up with these monsters."

This surprised Grenda and she lowered her blade. "W-what? Then why-"

"Psych!" He sent a deadly blast of darkness from his blade that sent her flying across the room.

"Your muscles always did make up for how dumb you were." He scoffed. "Mabel can be crushed for all I care."

"Shut up you faker." Snarled Grenda.

"Oh you'll be the one shutting up." Fake Dipper taunted her. "Forever..."

Before he could stab her through, a giant metal ball slammed into him, knocking him to the floor.

Mason was glaring his opponent down.

"We were in the middle of something here." He snarled. "Can this wait?"

The response was low and scathing.

"No...It can't."

"Fine!" His opponent sent several dark beams from his sword out but those were blocked with his shield.

The knight then did a jump before slamming his charged up sword to send Mason sliding back before he summoned a magic Circle below the fake Dipper and exploded it, causing the boy to be sent slamming into the wall before he dropped down defeated.

The Fake Dipper tried to scramble to his feet but slipped down again.

Mason then grabbed the mirror of truth and pointed it at their enemy.

A beam of light shone from the glass surface and onto the enemy to reveal...

Maivy.

The witch could only gasp as her illusion was dispelled.

"But how?" she cursed. "How did you see through my disguise?"

"Easy." Growled Grenda. "The real Mabel's brother would never do any of this to us!"

"Also...You can't be Dipper." Mason spoke. "Because..."

He tapped his shoulder and a pillar of purple Light erupted beneath him.

When it died down, Grenda gasped.

Dipper stood in Mason's place, the palm of his right hand radiating with a purple symbol.

"I am Dipper." he spoke.

"Mabel's brother!" Grenda exclaimed. "You're alive?! But how?!

"I'll explain later, but sorry for not telling you." Dipper told her sheepishly. Before they both turned their angry attention to Maivy.

"This isn't over." She shrieked as she summoned her broom. "I will destroy you all! WAIT AND SEE!"

A dark portal opened behind her and she flew through it. It closed behind her.

Once she was gone, Grenda looked back at Dipper.

"So you were Mason this whole time?"

Dipper nodded. "I was. I had to hide my identity from my enemies until the time was right. Truth be told, I would have revealed it a lot later, but this imposter sped things up."

Grenda nodded. "I can see that, but...just...why?"

Dipper looked down in guilt. "I'll explain this all when I reunite with Mabel and our other friends, but for now..." He looked up.

"Let's seal this gateway so it can never be used by anyone again."

He extended his palm towards the gate as rich purple energy surged from his palm before it floated towards the gateway.

The energy enveloped the creation before it all shrunk down and vanished in a twinkle.

"Now let's get out of here." He told the buff girl.

"On that we can agree." She nodded.

The two of them sheathed their weapons and walked out of the room of the museum.


On the way out, they noticed some Manotaurs and Gnomes fighting off some of the enemies inside.

Most of them had retreated now that their commander was defeated but the stragglers weren't so lucky.

"General Grenda." One of them approached her. "We've just taken care of the remaining enemies in the museum."

"I can see that." Nodded Grenda.

"We've also searched the back room and found these two ladies trapped in an exhibit."

He moved aside as two women walked towards them.

One of them was a Red Anthropomorphic Robin with skinny jeans and a black short sleeved shirt that exposed her belly button.

The other resembled a female version of Muscle Man with her hair in pigtails. She wore a white shirt and a gray skirt.

"Thank you so much for saving us." The Robin girl told the Manotaur. "You have our thanks."

"Actually, it was...her who saved you." Dipper spoke up gesturing to Grenda.

Her face fell. "Oh...well...thank you, little girl."

"Hey!" Grenda growled. "I'm NOT little."

The Robin girl was taken aback by her gruff voice. "Well...I can see that."

"I'm impressed with you, girlie." The Green lady smirked. "A fellow Muscle Women like me and my Fiancé; Mitch."

"Would you be Starla, by chance?" Grenda asked her.

The Green lady nodded.

"And I'm Margaret." The Robin girl gestured to herself.

"Well, I'm Grenda...Grenda Guinivere Grendinator."

"And my name is Dipper." Said Dipper.

The two women then noticed Dipper and frowned.

"Hey, aren't you that kid who put us behind bars in here?" she demanded.

"Well...yes...and no." Dipper explained. "The one who kidnapped you was an evil witch who took on my appearance to decieve you."

"Deceive us? Why?" asked Margaret.

"That's...a long story." Grenda came to his rescue. "For now, let's get you guys out of here and regroup with the others."

They all walked outside with their troops.


Outside, the rest of the employees finished taking down Komodo-Saur and were just waiting for Grenda and Mason to return.

They turned and saw Grenda walking out. Her new Blade sheathed onto her back.

And next to her was Dipper, with the Sword and Shield he wore from his time as Mason sheathed as well.

"Grenda! You're all right!" exclaimed Benson.

Muscle Man noticed who was with them.

"STARLA!" he shouted.

"MITCH!" she shouted back.

They ran headlong into each other's arms sobbing wildly.

"I was so worried about you!" Muscle Man exclaimed. "I thought I'd never ever see you again!"

"But I'm here now, Mitchy." Starla comforted him.

The two leaned in while rubbing their faces into each others as everyone cringed.

Benson walked over to cover both Grenda's and Dipper's eyes before noticing Dipper.

"Hey, you're the kid in the Museum, right? Did Grenda and Mason free you from control?...Wait, where IS Mason?"

Dipper nervously chuckled. "Yeah, long story short. I was Mason."

"Wait? You were that armored man?" Benson exclaimed. "But why? How?"

Dipper held up his hand to reveal the Symbol of the Sage of Darkness.

"Using my powers, I created a suit of dark armor to conceal my identity."

"He did it to protect his sister and their friends." Emelda explained to Benson, Skips, Muscle Man, Margaret, Starla and Gene listened in. "If they met up while he was himself, then Bill would have found the opportunity to take them all out in one fell swoop. He needed some of the enemy forces to keep searching for his real identity to mitigate the pressure on our main forces."

"Ooooh." Muscle Man said aloud. "That actually makes sense."

"Well, now that your cover's been blown, they pretty much know you're alive and with us, right?" asked Margaret.

Dipper nodded. "We're going to need to double down on our training if we're going to be ready for when Bill dishes out for us next."

"Who's Bill?" asked Gene.

"He's an enemy from our world." Emelda explained to them. "He's been using dark magic to open gates between worlds in order to achieve rule over all dimensions. And as you can see, your dimension has become one of them affected. It's our responsibility to stop him from doing whatever it is he's planning."

The Employees looked at him, then each other before Skips spoke up.

"Well, if this monster is as dangerous as you say, then you'll need my help."

"Really?" asked Grenda. "You'd help us?"

Skips nodded. "Anything to save this world."

"Same here, Bro." Muscle Man stepped up. "No one takes my she-lion away from me and gets away with it."

"You guys would really support us? Even though you don't really know much about us?" asked Dipper.

Skips nodded. "All of us."

Benson looked up. "Wait? ALL of us?"

"Yes." Skips nodded. "Benson, you and Muscle Man are two of these chosen Sages who can defeat this 'Bill' guy. If anyone can help stop him, you're one of them."

Benson thought About this and reluctantly nodded.

"What about you two?" asked Emelda. "Can you two fight with us?"

"Definitely." Smirked Starla. "I can punch down anyone in my way."

"Sure." Margaret looked down. "But I don't have a weapon to use."

"Hang on." Grenda looked up. "Maybe there's something you can use in the Museum to defend yourself with. Like how I found this new blade."

"Ummm." Margaret looked down.

"Don't worry." Skips assured her. "All the monsters in there are gone. I'll even go with you as an escort."

"Thanks." Margaret replied as she walked towards the Museum."

Emelda flew towards Grenda's new weapon.

"Hang on." She spoke up. "Where did you find that thing?"

"Like I said, in the Museum."

"That's one of the weapons the Dimensional Champions used from the past times." She exclaimed. "The Blade of Water. Said to summon currents of Water and Ice to assist it's wielder in battle."

"Woah." Grenda looked at it in awe. "Amazing. But what was it doing in the Museum?"

"Probably another way the monsters were trying to stop the Sages power from being used to defeat them, not only by scattering the champions but by confiscating the weapons that had similar powers."

"Do you think there are any other sage weapons in there?" asked Gene.


Margaret and Skips walked into the room where Grenda found her Blade of Water.

"What's in here that I can use?" asked Margaret.

Skips moved some of the shards of glass away with his fists. "I'm not sure but be careful in what you pick. Whether it's from the glass or metal, you'll probably get cut if you don't know how to handle it."

"But how do I know which one is the right one?" she asked.

"There is no right weapon to use." Skips continued to move the glass away. "Just find whichever one looks comfortable to you."

"Whichever one looks comfortable to me." Margaret repeated to herself as she eyed the swords and clubs littered on the ground. "I just want something to protect people like Mordecai and Eileen with. Something that can give me that power to do so."

At this, her eyes began to radiate with a deep blue light and she suddenly turned to another room.

"Huh?" she thought to herself. She then turned and walked out of the room as Skips looked up.

"Margaret, where are you going?"

She didn't answer as she walked off to the West area.

She approached a glass case where there was a Giant Handbell made from a white Conch Shell.

It was emitting the same blue light she had in her eyes.

She reached her hand forward where the Bell was and it phased through the case.

Instead of the cool flat surface of glass it felt wet and soft, like water. And she certainly had no trouble pulling the bell out from the case as both the glow from it and from her eyes receded.

"Margaret." Skips approached her. "Are you OK?"

Margaret turned to him, the Bell in her hands. "Yes I am. And I found what I was looking for."

Skips looked at it. "A giant bell?"

Margaret nodded. "I don't know why, but I felt like...it was calling to me..even though... it's just a bell."

She gave it a little ring and at the jingle, an intense bubble of water shot out from the bottom and slammed into the wall, much to their shock."

"I don't think that's just a bell." Skips spoke aloud.

"Well, whatever it is, I think it can help us." Margaret told him.


Skips and Margaret walked out as everyone was packing up the Camp.

"Oh, you guys are back." exclaimed Dipper.

He then noticed the Bell Margaret was holding. "Is that your weapon of choice?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I'm not sure why but it was calling to me with a distinct blue glow. Almost as if...it wanted me to use it."

Emelda started to realize something. "Margaret. Show me your hand."

Margaret did so. There was a glowing blue mark on the back of her right hand in the shape of a teardrop.

"As I thought." She said aloud. "You have been chosen as a sage. The Sage of Water to be precise."

"I'm...the Sage of Water?" Margaret spoke aloud.

"That's what it looks like." said Benson. "I'm the Sage of Fire, Muscle Man is the Sage of Earth, Dipper is the Sage of Darkness and according to him and Grenda there are two other Sages in different parts of their party: Forest and Ice."

"So that's..." Dipper counted. "Six Sages chosen so far. All that's left is for the remaining six to be chosen by the world and we'll be able to fight back against Bill. Now come on...let's head back to my world and we'll plan our next move...ummm how to we get their exactly?"

"The Rifts that opened between dimensions should be a sufficient way for us to travel back to your world." Skips surmised.

"You got it." Dipper nodded. "But then again, it still may be recovering from the monster attacks, and with the monsters that appeared, the people there may not be comfortable seeing you guys there."

"Fair point." Benson thought. "I mean has anyone in your world seen a walking Gumball Machine before?"

Dipper, Grenda, Emelda, the Gnomes and Manotaurs shook their heads.

"Let's head back to the Park Instead." Benson suggested. "Though the small men and Minotaurs can crash at Gene's."

"WHAT?!" Gene exclaimed before he calmed down. "Then again, I do need some help cleaning up from what those monsters did."

"So it's settled." said Skips. "To the Parks."

They all walked through the rift.

Sorry it took so long. Like I said College and having to deal with a best friend passing from Cardiac Arrest.

Up next Candy Chiu's adventure.
