Dipper's P.O.V.

After the little talk we had we left the RV and started training. JJ took Mabel to master hand to hand because she talks to animals for crying out loud, there's not much to do there. I started using my head, literally, to lift objects and throw them at targets I made. I picked up a few rocks with my mind and threw them towards the bulls-eye.

"Oh, you were so close to hitting the white on the outside. You missed the target completely." Pacifica said mocking me.

"Oh shush, I'm getting used to it, besides you can't say anything because you've had practice with Pig Latin before. I've never had practice throwing things with my mind." I argued back.

"You have a point but still, all you had to do was at least hit the target. Stand back and I'll show you how it's done." I stepped away a little and watched what she was about to do. "Ireballfay." A fireball engulfed her hands. "Argettay ightedsay." She looked at the center of the target. "Aunchlay." She launched the fireball and hit the target dead center. "Impressed yet."

"I was impressed when you revived me." I stood there with my mouth wide open in awe.

"Close your mouth hon, you don't want flies flying into your mouth."

I closed my mouth and I sat down again and tried it myself. I closed my eyes and focused on yet another rock around me. I imagined the target about 15 feet away, with a wind speed blowing away from me at about 5 miles per hour, and the center of the target being 4 feet and 5 inches higher than ground level. I threw the rock and I heard a thunk. I opened my eyes and saw the rock was sticking in the center of the bulls-eye and it was stuck.

"Not bad Dipper, not bad."

"Thank you, it wasn't hard after I put my mind to it. Now let's see if i can pick up heavier objects." I focused on a tree that I was leaning against and tried to pick it up, I could hear the leaves rustling and birds flying away chirping. I felt the tree bark rise with my shirt getting stuck but just stopped the tree from rising any more.

I could feel sweat run down my face and myself breathing heavily. I took the shirt and moved it away from the tree and continued lifting the tree. I then raised it above the rest of the trees and threw it as hard as I could. What I didn't expect was that it went about a mile away.

"Wow, you're getting better Sir Dippingsauce." I knew that voice, knew it my whole life.

"Mabel would you leave me alone, at least I can control objects with my mind, all you can do is talk to animals."

"Oh yeah, army of the birds, attack." Then birds left and right started dive bombing their way towards me. I used my mind to pick up a stick and started defending myself from the birds. "Army of the squirrels, attack." Squirrels now came after me.

After about 20 minutes of defending myself from forest critters, they finally pinned me to the ground. I dropped the stick and started panting for air. "Ok Mabel, you win. But that was amazing."

"You critters go back to your normal lives and thanks for helping me prove my brother that talking to animals is the coolest." The animals left the area and I was still laying down tired from all the fighting. "Need help bro-bro"?

"Yes please." She extended her hand and I grabbed it pulling myself up.

"That was impressive, both of you." We looked and saw JJ leaning against a tree. "Great arrangement of attack Mabel, and Dipper, fantastic way to combine both martial arts and your telekinesis."

"Thanks JJ, it was only right for the birds to attack from the sky first and have other animals attack around the ankles, I knew after a while that it would get to him."

"Yeah, you got me, but I promise that those small critters were stronger than what they're supposed to be. I felt this weird magic inside them."

"That's because I gave them magic." Pacifica said putting the pieces together in my head.

"So I fought a two on one fight? I did pretty good."

"Yes Dipper you did, but your stamina is lacking, easiest thing to do is run about an hour a day until you know you can run forever. That's how I build my endurance, just by running."

"Yeah, but you're more physically fit then I am JJ, and you know that."

"Then how about this, a race. First one to run to the waterfall about 6 miles out and back gets a free meal cooked by the loser."

"I'll take you on that deal." Then we shook hands and we ran as fast as we could towards the waterfall.

Pacifica's P.O.V.

The boys took of sprinting in a direction in a forest and Mabel and I just stood there confused. "When do you think they'll be back"? Mabel asked me.

"Well, they're running 12 miles so, JJ will be back in about an hour and a half. Dipper will be back in about 3 or 4 hours." I answered back.

"Yeah, Dipper's not really the athletic type, maybe it'll take him 5 hours."

"Well, he is my boyfriend and your brother, so we can't complain."

"So true. So do you think that JJ will still sacrifice himself for everyone."

"Well, if the prophecy is true, and we can't stop Kreis, then he will do it."

"But that's the thing, there is a way to stop Kreis, I just know there is. I can feel it, and it has to do with our powers coming together."

"I mean, I can chant any spell, Dipper can move things with his mind, you can talk to animals, and JJ is just himself, he's a fighting machine that's really smart as well."

"Well, we work well together."

"Yeah, but that's the thing, if we work well together then our demon selves work even better together. And if we fight ourselves eventually we'll get tired and die before Kreis even shows up."

"Well, I did teach you guys how to read your opponents and know their weaknesses." We heard a voice next to us.

"JJ, how are you back so early, and where's Dipper"?

"Relax Mabel, Dipper's fine. He kept up with me and told me that he wanted to train a little in peace, he's maybe half a mile out."

"Oh, well okay then. What are you going to do after the war Pacifica"?

"Well, what I'm hoping is that my dad is still alive and we can turn the Northwest family name into something people see hope in instead of fear and anguish." I almost started to tear up saying those words.

"Let it out Pacifica, tears are only a sign of humanity. It's one of the main things humans do when either happy or sad." JJ's words touched my heart and I just started balling my eyes out. Mabel put her hand on my shoulder and started comforting me.

"Mabel, sniff what do you plan on doing sniff after the war"? It was my turn to ask Mabel the question she asked me.

"Well, I plan on going back into college and graduating with flying colors. After that I hope I can find the right guy for me and settle down and start a family." Mabel had such a good life she wanted to live, and I was more than happy to help her complete her dreams.

"Hey JJ, what about you? I mean you've got plans after all this is over, right"? After I asked him the question, I could see the hurt in his eyes. I could tell I hit a nerve.

"My plans, are not yet figured out. I hope to live my life the way I want it to but with the war going on, I probably won't have a chance in any of it. This war is ruining my life, Bill ruined my life for getting in a conflict with the puppet king, my life is burning down"! He punched the closest tree and a hole stood in the middle of the trunk.

I was scared at the moment, with the fact that JJ just punched a hole in the tree, it just amazes me the strength he has. "Are you going to be okay"?

"NO, I'M NOT GOING TO BE OKAY, I WANT BILL AND KREIS DEAD AND THERE'S NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO TO GET IN MY WAY"! His rage got the best of him and he stormed through the forest without saying a word.

"We should probably let him cool down, he's frightening when he's mad."

"I agree with you Mabel, he needs an hour or two to calm down."

JJ's P.O.V.

I ran through the woods boiling with anger and hatred. I couldn't control myself anymore, it was too much. All I could think about was what was going to happen to everyone if we lost this war. I couldn't forgive myself if millions of people died because I didn't try hard enough to defeat Kreis.

I stopped somewhere in the woods and fell on my knees and started crying, I didn't even try to hold back the tears, I just let the waterfall fall down my cheeks and hit the ground. These tears that I was shedding was a very rare thing for me to do, I didn't cry much so it was a rare sight if I cried.

Once I was done, I looked upwards and saw a bright light, and being the curious man I was I explored over towards it. When I got there I saw nothing, then a flash blinded me and when I woke up I was in the dreamscape. Somewhere where I didn't want to be at right now.

"Are you the one named JJ"? A voice called out to me, it sounded feminine-like.

"It depends on who's asking." I decided to respond being cautious about the voice.

"Do not be afraid, I am a friend, an ally, and a protector. I want to help you win this war, but if you can not trust me, then all hope is lost."

"Well if we're going to work together, then I need to know that I can trust you. So tell me what your name is."

"I have no name, but if you must trust me, then I will tell you something that you want to know. However, it must be something that happened in the past."

"I want to know about my family, are they okay with me being gone"?

"Your family, has been enslaved."

"By who"? I could hear the worry and sadness in my voice.

"A demon named Kreis, she enslaved them not too long ago, it was actually one month ago."

"Where. Are. They"?

"They are in the demons master quarters, being forced to do Kreis's bidding. I'm going to wake you up now but unlike when you went to sleep, when you wake up you will have this power surging through your veins, and in your mind you will be one with yourself."

"Wait, I have so many other questions."

"It's okay, I will always be in your mind, and one more thing."

"What is it"?

"Tell the others about your experience with me here. Let them know that you trust them and then you will all be able to win the war. Goodbye for now, if you need to contact me just say so and I will answer your call."

I woke up but this time on the cold hard dirt ground. I looked around and remembered why I was here, I was mad at Kreis and Bill for getting me in this mess. I had to get back to camp and tell the others about what's about to happen and what we're going to do and how we're going to win this war.

Dipper's P.O.V.

I walked back to the RV and saw that JJ wasn't here. "Hey Pacifica, where's JJ"?

"Oh Dipper hey you're back." Pacifica said giving me a hug. "JJ had a little temper so he ran off into the woods to cool off."

"Shouldn't we go after him"?

"You see that tree"?

"Which one? Oh wait, I see it. The one with the hole in the middle of it right"?

"Yeah, that's the one, we didn't want to get hurt to badly so we just let him go. I mean it's JJ, he'll be fine."

"Yeah, you're right, he will be fine. Almost nothing stops him. It's late, and I'm tired from training with my powers and my hand-to-hand combat, so I'm off to bed. If you want you can join me."

"Ok, I'll be there in five, I'm waiting to see if JJ comes back tonight."

"I get it, we're like family and we all care about each other." I closed the door behind me and got ready for bed. I had this feeling though that the war was closer than we all think it is.

So how about this one, good? Bad? Yeah you probably won't tell me but oh well. Hope you enjoyed the story the next few chapter will be put into three parts, and I'm going to enjoy writing them. Take care guys.
