Oh hey you guys are back, I am so surprised, I'd expect you guys to leave by now. Anyways enjoy reading the story.

JJ's P.O.V.

"All right guys, this is an important day." "Hey wait a minute, what is today"? "Well Mabel, I'm glad you asked. Today Bill receives his powers again, so congratulations on that Mr. Cipher." "Thank you, please hold your applause." "No one's clapping Bill." "Very funny joke Dipper, but the important part of today is that it's training day." "Wait, we're learning how to fight today"?

"That's right Pacifica, you guys need to be ready to face the inevitable, and your demon clones." "But you trapped them in some vines, how are they supposed to come after us"? "Shooting Star, they're demons, a couple of vines aren't going to stop them." "Oh." "Anyways, Bill if you could."

Then Bill snapped his fingers and the RV turned into a dojo-like area with plenty of space to move around. "Great job Bill, so glad you have your powers back. Anyways it's time to get started." "So is there like rules to fighting or is it just like improvising"? "Well Dipper I was hoping you would ask that. Fighting has a little bit of both in it. Rule #1: Know your enemy's weaknesses."

"Why is that important"? "Mabel would you like for me to set your sweaters on fire"? "No, my sweaters are my life." "There we go, weakness right there. And if I used that weakness against you then I could easily just pull a thread and have your sweater torn apart." "Oh, wow, I need to get my life together."

"Pacifica, weakness to getting your hair messed up and getting dirty. Therefore, the easiest thing to do is this." After that I appeared behind her and messed her hair up. "Ugh, my hair, now I have to fix it." "Dipper, you're weakness is too much logical thinking, you try to find ways through logic where you can just easily just do it. When you saw me fighting in the underground city, that was all just going along and doing it."

"So, all I have to do is not think"? "It's a little more than that, but other than that, yeah. Just let your body flow into the fight." "How can I know if I'm ready." "By blocking my punches." And with that, I swung at Dipper only for him to put his hand up in reflex. "There you go." Dipper opened his eyes to see that he indeed blocked the punch, his face was ecstatic.

"Now rule #2: Always, know your limits, and your opponents limits. For example: when I was fighting Mr. J  had to back down because he had no energy deterioration whatsoever, so I tied them up and escaped." "So what you're saying is know how long you can fight for"? "That is exactly what I'm saying, good job gold star for you Pacifica."

"Rule #3: Know how to control your weaknesses. Mabel you could just not care about the sweater and make a brand new one. Pacifica you can just do it later. Dipper all you have to do is do it." "Didn't you say you had no weakness"? "No, I said I didn't know my weakness, but now I do." "What is it"?

"My weakness. Is. Rubbing fingers through my hair." "That's your weakness"? "Yeah, if I'm fighting and fingers are going through my hair then I just feel like I'm not even fighting but in peace and harmony." "Oh, I get it." I continued teaching them the points of fighting and with the information they just received they should be ready to take on anything now.

"So, are you guys ready to take me on"? "Oh we're ready all right." "Come at me then." that signaled them to charge. So I crossed my arms and dodged their attacks having them deflect their own attacks. I jumped back from the brawl and stood calmly. They looked over towards me and came up with a new tactic.

Mabel ran behind me and charged at me from behind, Pacifica charged at me head on but Dipper stood back. I jumped above the girls only to have Dipper right on top of me, he swung but I caught his fist and rotated myself to his back, and slammed him into the ground. Mabel pushed me off of him and I pushed her away from me. We slid back onto the ground ruining the soles of our shoes.

Then I felt rub their fingers on my head, and man did it feel good. But then I thought about the fight, grabbing the person behind me and slamming them into the person about to swing, launching them into the wall. Now Pacifica and Mabel were out, all that was left was Dipper. "I'm impressed, you all are doing a great job."

"Thanks, but now it's just me." "How do you feel Dipper, ready for some more"? "Maybe a few more swings." So he charged at me, but I stood there, as he got closer and closer I could see more of the determination in his eyes. He finally made it to where he could swing but instead I ducked down and tripped him.

He fell to the ground out of breath, and I laid my foot on his chest. "You may have lost, but you definitely have improved on your fighting. Congratulations guys, you passed." "Really, wait how's Dipper feeling." "I'm fine, I just need... a couple of minutes... to catch my breath." "Dipper could you feel yourself want the victory"?

"Yes, I could feel every bit of determination to win the battle, but I did not win." "Well, you did good, you survived longer than last time." "True." "Hey Bill, you can turn the dojo back into an RV." "Coming  right up." And with that Bill snapped his fingers and we were back in the RV. "So just a recap, we have two pieces to defeat the puppet king." "That is correct Llama, and now that I have my powers back, I know where the last two of them are."

"That's great, we're half way to being able to defeat the puppet king." "Hey wait a minute what about our powers that Bill gave us." "Now that you mention it bro-bro, Bill did say something about that." "Got a confession to make Bill." "Ok Pine Tree, I'll tell you your powers now. Pine Tree you have telekinesis, Shooting Star you can talk to animals, and Llama you can say spells in Pig Latin."

"Those are our powers"? "Well they're supposed to connect with who you are. And seeing telekinesis goes to smart one, animal lover gets to talk to them, and forced rich person gets to recite Pig Latin spells." "It does make sense guys." "Yeah, maybe it will work." After that Dipper sat down and closed his eyes. Then the table next to him started to levitate.

I could see the look on Dipper's face, he was struggling to keep it two inches off the ground. He finally let it drop and gasped for air. "Dipper, are you okay"? "Yeah I'm fine, just concentrated too hard is all." "Hey guys we're here, the third piece of material's area." "How about we leave Dipper and Pacifica here while we go and find the material."

"Thanks JJ, you're a good friend." "Hey, kindness is my kryptonite. I can't help it." Me, Mabel and Bill set off to find the third material while Pacifica took care of Dipper in the RV. I had a feeling Dipper was trying to impress Pacifica with his new power.

Pacifica's P.O.V.

Bill said that I had the ability to recite spells in Pig Latin, so I decided to give it a shot. "Ealhay isthay anmay." After that Dipper's body became relaxed and he sat up fully. "So you know Pig Latin"? "Well, I know how it works. And no, I'm not teaching you how to speak it." "That's fine."

"Pacifica, I know you said you wanted to wait and all, and it's ok if you don't want to be with me, but will you officially be my girlfriend"? "Dipper we've traveled half the country together, there is no one that I'd rather spend my life with then you." "You really mean that"? "Yes, and also, I will be your girlfriend." "Well then girlfriend of mine where would you like our first date as a couple be"? "Let's just stay in the RV. I mean JJ, Bill, and Mabel are out there in the mountains looking for the material, so let's just stay here." "All right, we'll stay here."

Mabel's P.O.V.

We were hiking up the mountain for what seemed like forever. "Are we there yet"? "Mabel we just left the RV." JJ pointed backwards and I saw the RV sitting there. "Well, um, oh hey some goats, maybe I can talk to them." "Give it a shot Shooting Star."

I walked up to the goats and they seemed ok with me, I walked up to what seemed like the owner and started talking to him. "Hey there Mr. um, wait what's your name"? "My name is Frederick, king of the goats." "Did you guys hear that"? "No Mabel that was all you. All I heard was baaah."

"Excuse me, but I do not take insult of my people to the slightest, you best apologize before I start charging." "Hey, hey Frederick, he didn't mean it, he can't talk to animals like I can. Now I have a personal request for me and my friends." "And what might that be"? "Well, we were wondering if we could get a ride to someplace in the mountains."

"Oh that will be fine, as long as your brown haired friend apologizes first." "Hey JJ, you need to apologize to the goats for insulting them." "What did I say"? "When you tried to mimic them, they get offended." "Oh well, I'm sorry Mr. goat." "Please, call me Frederick." "He said to call him Frederick."

"Thank you Frederick for allowing us to ride you up the mountain, it will help us get to the area faster." After a little while of scaling the mountains on the goats we made it to the cave where the material was. "Don't worry guys, I'll get it." "Thanks JJ." "Thanks, but I still haven't found a nickname for you yet." "Don't bother Bill."

JJ's P.O.V.

I walked into the cave and took at my flashlight. I looked around for something unique and different, and there it was, there was a doorknob in the cave wall. I turned the knob and a door opened up, I walked through the door and a light turned on, around me were a bunch of the same people from Paris. "Oh you guys ready for round two"?

My question wasn't answered though, they just started swinging at me, but I dodged them nonetheless. Then they took out sub-machine guns of all different kinds and started shooting at me. I ran as fast as I could and dodged the bullets running until I could not hear any more gun fire.

"Did you seriously use all of our ammo"? "I'm sorry sir but he was too fast." "I don't want to hear it, you let him live." I started walking towards the area that had the material. As soon as I grabbed it I was surrounded, I analyzed the people around me and saw they were of no threat to me. I then started running up the walls and grabbed hold of the support beams and started swinging across them.

I made it to the same door from before, but before I closed it one of the people threw a grenade at me, I caught it and dropped it in front of the door then closed it behind me. After that I ran to the goats and the bomb went off. There was smoke coming from the cave entrance and we just rode the goats down the mountain.

We eventually made it down the mountain and we saw the RV was gone. I noticed something out of the corner of my eye, and ran to where they were. "Listen good cause I'm only going to say this once. Do you know what happened to the RV that was here, and if so what happened"? "Please don't hurt me, I know exactly what happened."

"Hey JJ what's going... hey wait a minute Kreis, is that you"? "Yes dear brother, it is me Kreis." They embraced each other as if they haven't seen each other in forever. "How have you been holding up with father, Kreis"? "Well he passed away long ago, I've been on my own for the past couple of years."

"Bill, so this is your sister." "Yeah, this is Kreis Cipher. She's the youngest of the Cipher trio." "There are three of you"? "You don't know everything about me Shooting Star, trust me." "So Bill, what happened to your brother Will"? "How do you know my brother's name"? "I didn't."

"Wait, seriously"? "Yes, I just gave a completely random answer that made sense, and I guess it was right." "So, what else do you know." "Well the human brain can hold about ten million times more than what the internet ever gave off, but we never use every part of it." "I did not know that." "I did."

"Shut up, Bill just because you're a dream demon doesn't mean you can brag about it." "Sorry Shooting Star." "So Kreis." "Yes, um what is your name again"? "Just call me JJ. Anyways where did the RV disappear to"? "I saw something big with lots of tentacles appear out of a warp hole with four shady people, and they just picked it up and disappeared."

"The Puppet King and our clones. Luckily I can track down Dipper's phone in any dimension he's in." "Man technology is cool." "Is there anyway I can help." "Kreis, just stay safe ok, I'll be here to protect you." "Thank you brother."

I think that's a good spot to stop. Hope you guys liked the chapter. They've got three pieces of material, only one more to go, but they need to find Dipper and Pacifica first. If you liked this story drop a vote and maybe a comment or two on either how good or how bad the story is so far. You guys are great and I hope to see you next time.
