Multiverse Heroes: Magical Destinies(AmphibiaxSVTFOExTOH)

Within Marco's house, every person who could potentially help with the battle against Belos and Andrias was gathered in his room.

It wasn't his expected army, but it was still something. At least he hoped so. Of course, if he was going into battle with this group, he wanted to at least get to know them first.

Looking around, he felt more confident in some than others. He wasn't sure what Molly or The Pine Twins could bring to a fight. Gretel was a safe bet given that she has super powers.

What really got his attention is how amazing Kim Possible is. He's seen her fight only once but he could tell she had incredible skills, and believed her to be the best in the group.

He won't deny Perry's potential, but he would have rather seen him fight more himself, at least someone other than some pharmacist looking man.

"Okay...so I bet all of you are wondering why you're here," Marco said.

"To stop a pair of evil kings, right?" Mabel asked.

"Yes...well half true, one of them is technically an emperor," Marco said.

"What's the difference between an emperor and a king?" Polly asked.

"Uh...one runs a kingdom, and the other runs an empire," Marco said.

"If you want to be technical," Star began. "A King usually rules over one territory, while an Emperor rules over multiple. A Kingdom can become part of an Empire, so in a way, Belos has more power than Andrias."

"Wow...really?" Marco asked.

"Theoretically speaking, my mother could maintain her crown if Belos takes over Mewni, so while our people serve under my family, we'd serve under him," Star said. "Of course, Belos seems keen on wiping out the Butterfly Family, probably because we'll be a threat to him."

"Well, not all of it," Sasha said. "He still has Meteora. If he wants to, he could appoint her the new Queen of Mewni if he wants Mewni to be part of his empire."

"There's that too," Star said.

"Okay, so there you have it, big and dangerous stuff," Marco said. "This is a big operation, so anyone who does not want any part of this can back out now."

"Yeah, no wusses allowed," Sasha said, much to her friends' annoyance.

"Thanks Sasha, way to make things even more awkward," Marco said.

"Someone's high on herself," Ron whispered to Kim.

"Seems like it," Kim whispered back.

"Hey! You two better not be talking crap about me!" Sasha warned, to which Ron and Kim feigned innocence.

"Anyway..." Marco tried keeping the conversation on topic. "There's seriously no pressure to stay, if you're getting cold feet, just let me know and I will send you back to your home location."

Marco looked around the room, and so far, no one seemed to be moving, though one girl in particular raised her hand to speak. "Uh, Marco?"

"Yeah Brady?" Marco asked.

"Let's say I don't want to fight, but I also don't want to go back to where I was..." Brandy began.

"You don't have to ask," Marco said. "You're not obligated to fight, I rescued you to get you home. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Oh good..." Brandy said. "Like, no offense to anyone here, but Brandy Harrington is not a fighter. Unless you're coming between me and a good deal."

"Oh brother..." Sasha lamented.

"Sasha!" Marco scolded., then focused back on Brandy. "I will get you home, until then you can stick around here."

"I'd rather go shopping," Brandy said. "Where's the nearest mall? Also what's the fashion trend for California these days? Is make up still a thing? Oh what am I saying? Of course it is, what girl would be caught dead outside without make-up?"

"I don't wear make-up," Luz said

"Shame, I see such potential beauty in you," Brandy said. "Same with that girl with the jacket, which by the way, not very fashionable."

"I'm more comfort over fashion," Luz said.

"Oof, how do you survive living in California with that type of mindset?" Brandy asked.

"I'm only here for a bit, I technically live in Connecticut," Luz said.

"...Seriously? Wow, that explains a lot," Brandy said.

"Huh?" Luz asked the girl feeling slightly offended. "Explains what!?"

"Can we please not get into this," Marco said. "Brandy, I'm not good with fashion so I can't help you with tips."

"I can, I know a lot of hotspots," Sasha said. "We'd need to LA first. Santa Monica is for second place only."

"Sasha..." Marco lamented.

"Sounds awesome," Brandy said.

"Moving on..." Marco again continued. "Since we're going to be working together soon, I figured now would be a good time for everyone to try and get to know one another. Everyone decided to stay so I trust that everyone wants to fight."

"I'm down for it," Kim said.

"Me too, I can take care of everything with no problem," Gretel said.

"I'm not passing up a chance to study or observe anything," Dipper said.

"Great, so let's all take a moment to say our names and a little something about ourselves," Marco said.

"Oh! Can this be like one of those games where you have to say something about yourself?" Gretel asked. "Like your favorite movie? Or your favorite video game? Or anything?"

"Kid, we're getting ready to fight supervillains, not becoming each other's best friend," Sasha said.

"Hey now, we can be friends," Marco said. "I'm going to go with that idea. Give your name, where you're from, and your favorite hobby."

"Oh, and maybe ethnicity," Star said.

"Ethnicity? What for?" Marco asked.

"Yeah, no one cares," Sasha said.

"Hey we need to know who's a human and who's not," Star said.

"That's more species," Marco said. "But fine, we'll include that."

"Should you include gender too?" Polly asked.

"Polly, we can clearly see who's a boy and who's a girl," Marco said.

"Huh?" Polly asked. "But I was looking on the internet-"

"We are NOT getting into that!" Marco said. "Let's keep it old fashioned."

Ford turned his attention to Dipper, "What is going on?"

"You don't wanna know," Dipper said, then focused on Marco. "Okay, so since this was your idea, you should start."

"Seems fair," Marco said. "So...My name is Marco Diaz. I'm from Echo Creek, California. My species is human. My favorite hobbies are video games and martial arts. I'm a Red Belt in Karate."

"Red belt? That's pretty high," Kim said. "Are you aiming to reach Black Belt?"

"I would, but my Sensei only ever made it to Red Belt, and he hasn't improved since," Marco said.

"Yeah, they got their Red Belts at the same time," Star said

"...Same time?" Kim asked.

"To be fair, I thought he was ranked higher," Marco said.

"Marco's already a good fighter, he might as well be a black belt," Anne said.

"So is karate your preferred fighting style?" Dipper asked.

"Yes, and I'm good with a sword and a morning star," Marco confirmed.

"Not bad," Kim said. "Well, thanks for introducing yourself Marco."

"Oh, question, do you speak Spanish?" Gretel asked. "I only ask because your last name sounds Hispanic."

"I am on my father's side, he's Mexican," Marco said. "I can't speak Spanish though, I never learned."

"Yeah, it's not easy to pick up," Kevin said.

"Amateur," Hamster quipped, much to Kevin's annoyance.

"Alright, I'll go next," Star said. "My name is Star Butterfly. I'm from Mewni, where I am its Princess. I am a Mewman. My hobbies...uh, I guess just trying anything. I like painting, that's fun."

"Wow, a real Princess!" Mabel gushed. "Do you sing to animals?"

"Not normally," Star said.

"Do you have your own pony?" Mabel asked.

"I'm friends with a Pony's head," Star said.

"You're friends with a what!?" Kevin asked.

"Long story, it's not as weird as it sounds though," Marco reassured.

"How do you fight?" Dipper asked.

"With magic, wanna see?" Star asked.

"Please don't use magic in my house!" Marco said.

"Besides, we already saw it," Mabel said. "You did something called a Narwhal Blast! It was amazing!"

"Yeah, it is amazing," Star bragged.

"My turn," Anne said. "My name is Anne Boonchuy. I'm from Hollywood Hills, California. I'm a human. I like binge watching shows, my favorite is Suspicion Island."

"That sounds cool," Mabel said.

"Oh it definitely is," Anne said. "I also like playing tennis, and sometimes I like to cook. Lately I've been pretty fascinated with plant life, especially herb. Mostly due to my time in Amphibia."

"Sounds like you have some athleticism in you," Kim said.

"A little," Anne said. "I can use my tennis racket to fight, and I know how to use a sword."

"She left this scar on my face," Sasha said, gesturing to the scar. "It was an awesome battle. Anne got the better of me that day. Don't let her scrawny look fool you, she's one tough mama."

"Oh, wow...thanks Sasha," Anne said, almost amazed at Sasha's genuine compliments."

"Why were you two fighting?" Dipper asked.

"Long story," Sasha said.

"What type of food do you cook?" Kevin asked.

"Mostly Thai Food, but I've been learning other recipes too," Anne said.

"So you are Thai," Molly said. "I had a feeling you were when I heard your last name. I'm Thai myself, at least on my mom's side, and I know quite a bit about cooking Thai food."

"We can share recipes then sometime," Anne said.

"By the way, can you speak Thai?" Molly asked.

"Not really, but I do understand it," Anne said.

"Same, I try to study but it's not easy learning a second language," Molly said.

"It was for me, I can speak fluent Thai," Polly said.

"It's easier when you're younger," Marco said.

"King's an example of that," Luz said. "He's catching onto Spanish really quickly."

"Who's King?" Dipper asked.

"A friend of mine, he's missing right now, but I'm hoping to find him again," Luz said.

"We'll help with that," Kim said.

"I appreciate that," Luz said.

"Alright, I guess I'm up," Sasha said. "My name is Sasha Waybright. I'm from Hollywood Hills, California. I am a human. My favorite hobby is playing rock music. I even started a band with Anne and our friend Marcy."

"Wow, that's the coolest thing I've heard so far," Gretel said.

"Gretel, one of those girls is a Princess," Kevin said.

"Yeah that's nice, but that one is a rockstar," Gretel said.

"I'm also a cheerleader," Sasha said. "Captain too. And I'm the first Lieutenant of the Toad Army. And, I have the top score in Super Dance Fusion! And-"

"And...your time's up," Marco said.

"Oh come on, I was about to show off my Dual Wielding Sword Skills!" Sasha said as she pulled her weapons out. "It's freaking awesome!"

"Put those away!" Marco demanded, to which Sasha obeyed.

"...Seriously, this girl has to be the coolest one so far," Gretel said.

Ron turned to Kim, "Such a poor, naive girl."

"She is," Kim said.

"Hey!" Sasha called to the duo. "That's the second time! No more whispering!"

"Okay fine," Ron said. "So, who's next?"

"I'll speak next," Luz said. "Hola, I'm Luz Noceda. I'm from Gravesfield, Connecticut. I am a human. My hobbies are learning magic, reading fantasy books and editing anime clips to music."

"Okay, that is cool in my book," Kevin said. "The anime music clip part at least."

"Seriously? She said she knows magic," Gretel said.

"Yeah, but the anime thing is relatable," Kevin said. "I bet Fred would love Luz. She's big on anime too. She even watches it in Japanese without the subtitles."

"Wow really!?" Luz asked. "Is she fluent in Japanese?"

"I wouldn't be surprised," Kevin said.

"Man, learning Japanese would be so cool!" Luz said.

"You already know Spanish," Marco said. "It should be easy for you to learn another language."

"Anne's father has been teaching me a little Thai, so yes, it's very possible," Luz said.

"When we heard you speak Spanish before, we couldn't help but notice that you had an American accent," Kevin said. "Is it safe to say that English is your first language?"

"It is, I learned Spanish later," Luz said. "I was born to Dominican parents, so picking up the language through context helped with my studies."

"I try doing that when learning Thai," Molly said. "It's still not that easy."

"It isn't, but it's worth it," Luz said. "Keep trying, Molly."

"You got it," Molly said.

"Is your magic different than Princess Star's?" Dipper asked.

"Yes, I use glyphs," Luz pulled them out for an example. "It's mostly elemental stuff on its own, but if I combine them, they do much more."

"Also, you don't need to address me as Princess, I'm not the formal type," Star said.

"Okay, sure," Dipper said.

"I'll go next," Amity said. "My name is Amity Blight. I'm from Bonesborough in the Boiling Isles. My hobbies include playing Grudgby, which is a sport on the Boiling Isles. It's like Soccer Mixed with Volleyball."

"That sounds impressive," Ron said.

"It is," Amity replied. "I also enjoyed my job at my library, where I would read to little kids. Luz here even got me into a book called The Good Witch Azura."

"Best book ever," Luz said.

"And, just to clear the air..." Amity said. "I do not fly with brooms, I do not have a pet black cat, I do not live in a gingerbread house, I don't have magic shoes, and I am clearly not green. Whatever stereotype you heard about witches is not true."

"Oh, so you don't steal the youth from young and prettier girls?" Ron asked.

"No, I don't," Amity said.

"Also, are you vulnerable to houses falling on you?" Gretel asked.

"...Pretty sure everyone's vulnerable to that," Amity said.

"Do you use a cauldron?" Mabel asked.

"That's more for witches who specialize in potions," Amity said, then pulled some clay out and morphed it. "I specialize in abomination magic."

"Wow, that's so cool!" Mabel said.

"It's something my whole family specializes in too," Amity said.

"So, any movie we've seen on witches, just ignore them then?" Kevin asked.

"Pretty much, look outside of being a witch, I'm not that different from most of you," Amity said. "My diet is also a bit different."

"So you don't fatten kids up to-" Gretel shut her mouth the moment Amity glared at her. "Never mind."

Marco took a moment to speak up, "Listen, try to be considerate when talking to Amity. She's a person like the rest of us, and she's a really kind girl. I don't want anyone treating her like a monster."

"Of course," Ford said. "This girl seems like a fine young lady, and I will not abide by any discrimination."

"Thank you, sir," Amity said, then turned to her friend. "Thank you too, Marco. You're as sweet as ever."

Marco bashfully rubbed his head, "Come on, you're embarrassing me."

"Ever the chick magnet, Marco," Sasha said, before speaking out to the others. "Careful around this one ladies, he's got moves."

"Sasha! I do not have moves!" Marco shouted. "Also, I have a girlfriend! She's being mind controlled, and yes it's kind of my fault...and saving her is near impossible...and...losing hope..."

Marco just stood there for a few seconds, worrying not only his friends but also everyone present in this meeting.

"Uh...Marco?" Star said as she gently pat Marco on the cheek. "Hey, wakey-wakey!"

"Huh?" Marco looked around. "Wait, what was I saying?"

"We were introducing ourselves," Star said, then focused on the young tadpole. "It's Polly's turn."

"Right..." Marco turned to the tadpole. "You're up Polly."

Worried as she was for Marco, Polly figured for now it would be better to keep this going and talk to Marco in private later. "I'm Polly Plantar. I'm from Wartwood, Amphibia. I'm a Frog. My favorite hobbies include singing, spitting and going on adventures."

"...Spitting?" Dipper asked.

"Sure, wanna see?" Polly began to inhale.

"I'm good!" Dipper quickly stated.

"Wuss," Polly said, much to Dipper's annoyance.

"My turn," Maddie said as the girl pulled herself to her feet. "I am Maddie Flour. I'm from Wartwood, Amphibia. I'm a frog. My hobby is witchcraft."

"You're a witch too?" Dipper asked.

"Yes, and any stereotype you heard about Amity, could apply to me," Maddie said while sinisterly smirking. "You never know just what I could have planned for you poor mortals."

"...She better be joking," Brandy said, with others agreeing.

"She is," Marco said. "Maddie's a nice girl too, and a very good friend."

"Thanks Marco, you've always been one of my favorite humans," Maddie said.

"Well anyway, that's all of us," Marco said.

"Ahem...you forgot me," Janna said.

"Oh right..." Marco said. "Now it's your turn."

"You say that like it's a bad thing, Marco," Janna said. "I'm hurt."

"Well, she seems like she'll be an interesting person," Ron said.

"Okay so...I'll be taking center stage here," Janna said. "I, am Janna Ordonia. I am from Echo Creek, California. I'm legally human. And I enjoy paranormal stuff."

"You like my friend, Scratch?" Molly asked while gesturing to the very bored ghost.

"Oh yeah, he looks awesome," Janna said. "So Scratch, how'd you kick the bucket?"

"I'll keep that to myself if you don't mind," Scratch said.

"Whoa, touchy subject, must have been embarrassing," Janna teased.

"Please don't annoy our guests," Marco said.

"Oh, my other favorite hobby is involves Marco," Janna said. "He's fun to mess with."

"It isn't fun for me," Marco said.

"Oh you like it, don't pretend that you don't," Janna teased.

"Janna...!" Marco lamented.

"Hey, ease up on Marco," Luz said. "He doesn't need to deal with your torment."

"Hey, I don't torment him, I really do like Marco, that's why I got this," Janna said as she snapped her fingers.

Suddenly an infant looking Marco with wheels for hands rolled into the room. "Hi! I'm Baby Marco and I got wheels for hands!" He began driving around the room. "Weeeeeeeeee!" Within moments he left, leaving everyone shocked and confused.

"Pretty cool, right?" Janna asked.

Marco angrily pointed to the door, "OUT!"

Janna looked to the door, then back to Marco while gesturing to herself, "You mean me?"

"YES! YOU! OUT!" Marco demanded.

"...Wow, I almost never see you mad," Janna said. "That's kind of hot."

"GO!" Marco demanded.

"Okay fine, but remember," Janna pulled a keychain out. "I still got access to your house."

"LEAVE!" Marco demanded again, to which Janna left.

Everyone was once again very confused, wondering what this whole thing was about. Some did sympathize with Marco however, worried about his state of mind after what seemed like a stressful moment.

"Who was that girl exactly?" Dipper asked.

"Some headache," Marco said.

"Hey, come on, she's still our friend," Star said. "She's just eccentric."

"She's also kind of weird though," Amity said,

"Yeah, she just can't read a room to save her life," Sasha commented.

"Sasha, will you be quiet!?" Amity shouted. "Honestly the only reason we keep you around is because you're actually somewhat useful in a fight!"

"Hey come on," Sasha winked at Amity. "I know you like me. I know you REALLY like me."

"As if," Amity said as she turned away while blushing.

"Come on, no more fighting," Marco said. "Sasha's not perfect, but she's still someone I trust."

"Oh wow..." Sasha felt flattered by Marco's praise as a blush took over her face. "Um, thanks Marco. That means a lot."

Amity shrugged the whole thing off, "Always the nice guy. Anyway, the awkwardness is done, let's let someone else speak."

"Sure, we'll start with the Gravity Falls group," Marco said as he turned to the Pines Family. "So, who wants to go first?"

"I guess I will," Dipper said, clearing his throat to speak. "My name is Dipper Pines. I'm from Piedmont, California. I'm human as you can see. My hobbies include solving puzzles and riddles. I've uncovered a lot of strange things during my time in Gravity Falls."

"Like what?" Anne asked.

"Let's see..." Dipper began listing them. "Talking gnomes, time travel, video games come to life, copies of myself that I personally made, long story. There's also the time I fought a Multi-Bear to prove my manliness, though all I learned was not to give into peer pressure."

"Peer pressure, huh?" Anne asked. "I get that on a personal level."

Sasha was quick to turn away in shame, something Dipper noticed but didn't immediately acknowledge. "It's not easy, is it?"

"I used to think it wasn't so bad," Brandy said. "Until it backfired on me. I nearly got attacked by carnivores because of it."

"Uh...wow," Dipper said. "Sounds like quite the story."

"It is, and it proved one thing," Brandy said. "Trying to fit in really sucks sometimes."

"Tell me about it," Dipper said. "Well that's all for me."

"Wait, you time traveled?" Luz asked.

"Yeah, I was trying to figure out why my friend hated his own birthday," Dipper said.

"Wow, you're one loyal friend," Luz said.

"It was quite an adventure, and it ended with endless pizza," Dipper said.

"Sounds tasty," Marco said. "Well, thanks for introducing yourself."

"My turn!" Mabel said. "Hi, I'm Mabel Pines! I'm from Piedmont too! I'm a human, though sometimes I wish I were something else, like a vampire!"

"Huh? Why?" Marco asked.

"Duh, because vampires are hot!" Mabel said.

"At that age huh?" Luz asked.

"Sure am," Mabel said. "My favorite hobbies are arts and crafts, and taking care of animals. Like my pet pig, Waddles!"

"You have a pet pig?" Anne asked. "Exotic."

"Thanks," Mabel said, then turned to her uncle. "You're next Uncle Ford."

"I suppose I am," Ford stood up, the older man feeling strangely out of place. "Somehow I feel like an old man."

"I know how you feel," Marco said.

Ford raised his eyebrow, but didn't press the situation. "I'll keep it simple. My name is Stanford Pines. I am currently residing in Gravity Falls, Oregon. I am human, though slightly abnormal." Ford held his hands out to reveal an interesting fact.

"Whoa, you um...you have six fingers on each hand?" Marco asked.

"It's weird, isn't it?" Ford said. "You don't have to answer, but it does lead into something that's more than just my hobby, it's my goal. I wish to travel the world and uncover all of its anomalies. Beyond that, I wish to travel the multiverse and research all the interesting things I find."

"That's pretty amazing," Marco said. "Have you found anything?"

"Oh yeah, I have three journals worth of information," Ford said. "I even checked out the multiverse...it was not pleasant, especially after being trapped in a void for about thirty years."

"Whoa, thirty years!?" Marco asked. "And...you aged?"

"Yes, it was not some portal where time changed slowly...or perhaps it was and I didn't realize it?" Ford scratched his head. "I should research that later."

"I'm just saying because I got stuck in a dimension for sixteen years once, and when I came out, I looked like how I did before I went in," Marco said. "So I aged there but since only a few seconds passed here, my body maintains this form."

"Wait, so you're actually in your thirties?" Mabel asked.

"Yes...or no..." Marco said. "It's really confusing, like I don't feel like I'm thirty, I feel like a teen. But sometimes I think like I'm thirty."

"Point is, in this realm, Marco's sixteen," Sasha said. "Give or take a year."

"How did you travel?" Ford asked.

"Dimensional scissors," Marco said while showing them off.

"We also used a music box," Anne said. "But that one just took us to Amphibia."

"A music box? That sounds familiar," Ford said.

"We saw that weird girl running around with something like that," Marco said. "I think it had some jewels. Red, blue and green."

"Did I record anything about that? I gotta check later," Ford said.

"Any info you have could really come in handy Mr. Ford," Anne said.

"You may simply refer to me as 'Ford'," The man said.

"Gotcha," Anne said.

"Hey so, can I speak next?" Gretel asked.

"Go for it," Marco said.

"Okay," Gretel began. "So, my name is Gretel Grant-Gomez. I'm from The Tri-State Area. I'm a human. My hobbies are playing video games, fighting crime and hanging out with my brother."

"You're human?" Marco asked. "Even though you have super powers?"

"I kind of expected you to say you were an alien," Luz said.

"I got my powers from aliens," Gretel explained.

"How?" Marco asked.

"They just flew up to me, gave me powers, and told me to use them for good," Gretel said. "So that's what I did."

"Then those same aliens gave powers to the pair of siblings you saw yesterday and told them to use their powers for evil," Kevin said.

"That's weird, what was that about?" Marco asked.

"I don't know, but they gave them to my sister and her hamster," Kevin said. "Meanwhile I got nothing."

"Damn, that must suck," Sasha said.

"Eh, I'm over it, but I still don't get those aliens," Kevin said. "It's like this whole thing is a game to them."

"Well, that has me a little worried," Marco said. "But, let's not dwell on that, we have enough to worry about. Why don't you just tell us about yourself."

"Okay," Kevin said. "My name is Kevin Grant-Gomez. I'm also from the Tri-State Area. I'm human, like my sister. My hobbies include reading comics like Bull Boy."

"That sounds fun," Anne said. "Show us some cool comics one day."

"Sure," Kevin said,

"I'll go next," Hamster said, startling everyone.

"I keep forgetting you could talk," Marco said. "That's a bit unusual."

"One of your friends is a witch, another is a frog, there's a sentient platypus sitting by me, and there's a human looking dog here," Hamster said. "Explain how me talking somehow draws the line?"

"...Point taken," Marco said.

"Anyway, like I was saying," Hamster continued. "My name is Hamster. I'm from the Tri-State Area. I'm a hamster, hence my name. My hobbies including running on my wheel and watching T.V., preferably novellas."

"Ugh, that sounds like something my mom would watch," Luz said.

"Hey, don't knock it till you try it," Hamster said.

"Wel, thanks for the intro," Marco turned to the sole Platypus. 'Uh, Perry, is it?" Upon getting a nod of confirmation, Marco continued. "Can you talk?"

Perry shook his head, merely making his traditional Platypus sound.

"Well, that's fine," Marco said. "Can anyone translate for him? Hamster? Can you-?"

"Just because I'm a Hamster doesn't mean I can translate what other animals say," Hamster said.

"Same here, don't even bother asking me," Brandy added.

"I wasn't," Marco said, then felt a tug on his leg. He presented a paper to the boy, which he read aloud. "My name is Perry. I'm from the Tri-State Area. I'm a platypus. My hobbies is just my job, stopping evil."

Perry nodded his head before sitting back down.

"Well, thanks for sharing Perry," Marco said. "By the way, that scientist guy you fight. Is he particularly dangerous?" Perry answered a slight gesture with his hand and an unsure face. "Somewhere in the middle? Like he tries to be dangerous but isn't that bad?" A nod confirmed Marco's thoughts. "Okay, thanks for confirming. Now who's next?"

"I am!" Molly said. "Hi, my name is Molly McGee. I'm from Brighton, Illinois. I'm a human. My hobbies include art, playing soft ball, watching scary movies and camping!"

"Thanks for sharing," Marco said. "Also, a sport girl, huh? Is your team any good?"

"Sometimes," Molly said. "But I play just for fun."

"Yeah, that's all that matters," Marco said.

"Pfft, that's loser talk," Sasha said while annoying her friends.

"Sasha, come on," Marco said, then turned to the ghost. "So, how about-"

"My name's Scratch, and I'm a ghost," the spirit said. "That's all you're getting from me."

"Oh come on Scratch, don't be that way," Molly said. "Make friends!"

"Look, we're here because you dragged us here to fight some maniacs," Scratch said. "Don't expect too much out of me. I'll help free that girl, but that's it."

"If Scratch doesn't want to share, that's fine," Marco said. "Anyone else?"

"Me," Brandy said before speaking out. "Hi, I'm Brandy Harrinton. I'm from Palm Beach, Florida. I'm a dog. My hobbies including shopping, spending money, since I'm rich, and relaxing in the nice, hot sun."

"So...are you part of a family of rich dogs then?" Amity asked.

"Actually no, I'm a pet," Brandy said.

Marco glanced at the girls in confusion, each of them feeling the same way.

"A pet?" Marco asked.

"Yeah, I'm the Harrington Family pet," Brandy said. "My families totally loves me, they're probably really worried about my absence."

"How did you get stuck in the amazon?" Anne asked.

"That moron Mr. Whiskers got us knocked out of a plane," Brandy said. "The Amazon wasn't too bad though, I made some good friends and some places were really nice to be around. With a little work, it felt like a tropical vacation. Not perfect, but better than nothing."

"That's how I felt in Amphibia at first," Anne said. "I got stuck there after a mishap with the music box I mentioned earlier, along with Sasha and Marcy. It took a while, but I got used to it. I can even eat bugs without throwing up."

"I got stranded too," Luz said. "I was stuck in The Boiling Isles for a while, but I got used to life there. Plus living in The Owl House was like a dream come true. I got to train to be a witch."

"Wow, so I'm not the only one who got stranded somewhere," Brandy said.

"Well duh, even the old guy said he got stranded in some void," Sasha said.

"He has a name," Marco said.

"No it's fine," Ford insisted. "And that is correct, but I must inquire Brandy, from which part of the multiverse are you from?"

"How should I know?" Brandy asked.

"Well if you want to get home, we need to make sure this is the correct version of Earth," Marco said. "Because truth be told, I've never heard of a family with a talking dog like you."

"Just use those fancy scissors to figure it out," Brandy said.

"Wow...the attitude on this girl," Sasha said.

"...Let's move on," Marco turned to Kim and Ron. "You two are the last. Tell us about yourselves."

"I can go first," Ron said. "So, my name is Ron Stoppable. I'm from Middleton, Colorado. I'm human. My hobbies include gaming and cooking."

"Lot of gamers here," Marco said. "We should do a tournament sometime."

"That sounds rad," Ron said.

"So, I gotta ask..." Sasha gestured to a mole rat in his pocket. "Is that your pet?"

"Huh?" Ron turned to the mole rat and pulled him out. "Oh yeah, this is Rufus. My naked mole rat."

"Uh...wow, that's a unique pet," Marco said. "No judgement, my puppies shoot lasers out of their eyes."

"How did that happen?" Dipper asked.

"I created them, I figured the lasers would be cute," Star said.

"...How?" Dipper asked. "That honestly sounds terrifying."

"Can't be worse than the stuff we've dealt with," Mabel said.

"Still, nice to see more pet owners," Anne said. "I have a cat myself, named Domino."

"I have a dog, his name is Churro," Kevin said.

"Churro? Why would you name your dog after food!?" Brandy asked. "I'm honestly kind of offended."

"Hey he doesn't mind," Kevin said. "It's a cute name, everyone likes it."

"At least it's better than 'Hamster'," Sasha said. "Who even picked that name?"

"I did, and I think it's great," Gretel said.

"Yeah, lay off," Hamster said.

"Okay, that's enough!" Marco said. "Kim, it's your turn."

"Sure," Kim stood up to speak. "My name is Kim Possible. I'm from Middleton, Colorado. I'm human. My hobbies include gymnastics of sorts. I'm an excellent swimmer, and I'm Captain of my cheerleading squad."

"Oh wow, you're a cheeleader?" Marco asked. "And you're Captain!? Wow, you're amazing."

"Hey, I'm a Cheerleading Captain too," Sasha pointed out.

"I'm just amazed that Kim's a cheerleader, and nice," Star said.

"She's Captain and nice," Marco said. "When I think of cheerleading Captains, I usually think of Brittney Wong."

"Oh yeah, she was not a nice girl," Star said. "Her booty shaking tactics were strange too. Those girls did not have cute enough butts to pull that off."

"Maybe you need a second opinion?" Ron said.

"Ugh, Ron!" Kim whacked the boy on the arm.

"Ow! I didn't mean me!" Ron insisted.

"Once again, I'm a cheerleader," Sasha said.

"Well, I'm happy to break that stereotype," Kim said. "The girls on my squad are really nice too."

"Except Bonnie," Ron said.

"Uh...yeah, Bonnie and I do not get along well," Kim said. "But she's still talented, I can't take that away from her."

"You know who else is talented?" Sasha asked. "Me, the cheerleader of Saint James Middle School."

"Oh for Titan's sake Sasha, we get it!" Amity said. "You freaking attention hog!"

"Why must you hurt me, Amity?" Sasha asked. "All I've ever done was love you."

"Oh shut up," Amity said.

"Okay, we're all acquainted now," Marco said. "Now, we should probably make a few plans, if anyone's up for it."

"One question though," Sasha turned to the Middleton duo. "Your names are Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable, correct?"

"Yeah?" Kim replied.

"Like, those are your actual names?" Sasha said.

"Pretty much," Ron said.

"...So, like...Ron, if you married a girl, her legal married name would be 'Stoppable'?" Sasha asked.

"That's how it would be," Ron said. "Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable. It has a nice ring to it."

"Right..." Sasha turned away in confusion as she began to mutter. "Weird names..."

"Uh, did you say something about us?" Kim asked.

"Doesn't feel so good being at the other end of that, does it?" Sasha asked.

"Sasha..." Marco placed his hand on the girl's shoulder. "I like you...I really do. But can you please stop being such a pain in the butt?"

Sasha looked almost embarrassed by the physical contact, but decided to have fun with it by hugging Marco very closely. "Anything for you, Marco."

Kim furrowed her brow at the girl, "Doesn't he have a girlfriend?"

"Oh she'll never find out about this," Sasha teased.

"Sasha!" Amity shouted. "Off! Now!"

"Tch, someone's bossy," Sasha released the boy while still glaring at the girl. "If you could, you'd be all over him as well."

"Pfft, I wouldn't," Amity turned away in annoyance. "I don't swing that way."

"Hey now, we already established that Marco makes your gay go away," Sasha said.

"What's a gay?" Gretel asked, to which Kevin began to freak out.

"Uh, hey Gretel, how about we go for a walk?" Kevin said. "We can explore a bit of Echo Creek, and see if anyone needs help."

"Ooh! This will allow my superhero services to branch out! Clever!" Gretel said as she began following Kevin out alongside Hamster.

"Hey wait, you shouldn't go by yourself," Marco said.

"I can join them," Luz said.

"Are you sure?" Marco asked.

"I've been around town, I think I know my way around by this point," Luz said. "I'll take Kevin, Gretel and her Hamster, the rest of you make your plans."

"Okay, thanks Luz," Marco said. As she left, Marco immediately glared at Sasha. "Be mindful of what you say in front of kids."

"Hey I didn't say anything vulgar," Sasha said. "If anything this is worse for Amity because now she has to hide part of who she is."

"It's not about hiding who I am, it's the fact that Gretel is probably too young to learn about that kind of thing," Amity said.

"Learn about what thing?" Polly asked.

"Uh..." Anne grabbed the girl. "Hey let's um...try finding something..."

"Oh hey," Dipper said, getting Anne's attention. "My Great Uncle Stan came through here earlier, I'd like to go find him."

"That's a good idea," Ford said. "Mabel, go with your brother, I'll stay here for the time being."

"Okay, Grunkle Ford," Mabel said as she got up.

"With me, Pine Twins" Anne said as she left with the duo.

Marco sighed in relief, "I really hope this isn't bothering you, Amity."

"I'm not detecting any type of phobia," Amity said.

"You won't get any from me," Molly said. "I respect all kinds of people."

"Same," Kim said. "The only people I don't respect are villains."

"Yeah, yeah, equality and what-not," Brandy pulled herself to her feet. "I'm kind of bored, where's the nearest mall?"

"Brandy, I like shopping too, but this may not be a good time to do so," Kim said.

"Hey, I'm not going to fight," Brandy said. "I might as well make use of my time here."

"Ugh, Star, would you mind going with Brandy?" Marco asked. "You know good places to shop, right?"

"Oh yeah, I can handle it," Star said.

"Ron, mind accompanying them?" Kim said. "It would be good to scout the area."

"Yeah, I can handle that," Ron said as he stood up. "Alright, let's hit the mall."

"We'll be back soon," Star said as she left with Brandy and Ron.

"Alright, that just leaves us," Marco said, looking to everyone remaining in the room. "Now, are there any questions?"

"Yes, what can you tell me about these other worlds?" Ford asked. "Like this Mewni place, or Amphibia, or the Boiling Isles?"

"Mewni is not that different from Earth," Marco said. "It's a Kingdom that looks more medieval compared to here, but the mewmans there aren't that different from humans. Even I've been mistaken for a Mewman."

"A Kingdom?" Ford asked. "Well that girl Star did mention being a Princess. I take it that means her father is The King?"

"Yes, he's King River. But I should let you know that it's a Matriarchy," Marco said. "So Star's mother, Queen Moon, calls more of the shots."

"I see, interesting," Ford said.

"Amphibia is a world of amphibious creatures, hence the name," Marco said. "They're frogs, toads and newts, and their ruler is one of our enemies, King Andrias."

"How strong is this guy?" Kim asked.

"Very strong," Marco said. "He's twice the size of this house, so he's super strong. But what you need to watch out for is his sword."

"Is he good with it?" Molly asked.

"He got me once, right through the chest," Marco said, lifting his shirt up to show the scar.

"My word!" Ford said.

"Oh my God..." Molly replied.

"He did that to you!?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, I was trying to save my girlfriend," Marco lowered his shirt. "I nearly got killed in the process. It didn't matter in the end, I couldn't save her from becoming a prisoner."

"Still, taking an attack like that," Kim said. "That's pretty brave of you."

"Yeah, you're so cool Marco!" Molly excitedly exclaimed.

"I wish I could confidently agree," Marco said. "Anyway, that's about all of Amphibia that I know. Unless Sasha has anything to add."

"No, you pretty much covered it," Sasha said. "Oh, one little detail, their world is basically a giant pond. It's what you'd expect from creatures like frogs, toads and newts."

"Oh yeah, good addition," Marco said.

"And their world is on the medieval side too," Sasha said. "So not too different from Mewni."

"Granted we could be more evolved, especially since Andrias has been making machines," Maddie said. "But technology is foreign to us. Anne had to explain something as simple as her cellphone numerous times."

"Fascinating stuff," Ford said as he wrote it all down. "What about The Boiling Isles?"

"It's part of the Demon Realm, a place witches call home," Marco said. "Amity might be able to explain it better since she's lived there her whole life."

"There's a bit of a class system with the Covens," Amity said. "When witches come of age, we're expected to join a Coven. My family is rich, we're basically nobles. As such, we're fitting members of The Emperor's Coven, sorry to say."

"Covens...noted," Ford said. "What about your magic? You mentioned abomination magic."

"Yes, so when witches are young, we go to a school called Hexside," Amity continued. "There, we pick a course we want and study that magic exclusively. Some witches prefer abomination like I went though. Some prefer potions, like Maddie here likes."

"I sure do," Maddie said.

"There's also plant magic, like my friend Willow does," Amity said. "And Illusion magic, like my friend Gus."

"What's Luz's?" Molly asked.

"She kind of broke the rules and put herself in every class," Amity said. "She specializes in Glyph Magic though. It's archaic, but she makes it work wonders."

"She's fully human, correct?" Kim asked. "Does that mean humans can learn magic?"

"Seems like it, though at one point, the idea felt like a fantasy," Amity said. "Luz was hellbent on proving everyone wrong, and she did. She's an amazing girl, and one of the best friends I could have had."

"Sounds like you two are close," Molly said.

"Yeah, though it wasn't always like that," Amity admitted. "I wasn't always so nice. If it wasn't for Luz, I'd still be a bully, and I wouldn't have the friends I do now."

"Huh...that reminds me of Andrea," Molly said.

"The girl who tried streaming us?" Marco asked.

"Yeah, see when I first Andrea, she turned me into the school outcast just because I mispronounced her name," Molly said.

Marco raised his eyebrow in confusion, a feeling shared by everyone else, "How did you mispronounce it?"

"Well, when I first met her, I pronounced 'Andrea' with an 'aah' sound, like if I'm trying to say the word 'and'," Molly explained. "She preferred her name to be pronounced with an 'ah' sound, like the word 'alure'."

"Okay...this is weird but okay," Marco said.

"So I mispronounced her name, twice in a row because I was nervous with it being my first day in that school," Molly said. "As a result, she turned me into an outcast. Thankfully Scratch fixed it...after almost making it worse."

"Way to weaken my victory there, Molly," Scratch said.

"Sorry, not my intention," Molly said. "I really appreciate what you did for me, and thankfully I was able to befriend Andrea. So it all worked out."

"Well...that reason for out casting you was petty as hell, but I'm glad you two worked things out," Marco said.

"I'll confess..." Sasha began. "I know I'm not the easiest person to be around, but if it wasn't for Anne, I think I'd be worse off than I am. Anne puts up with a lot of headaches that I caused, and I'm grateful to have her as a friend."

"Aw, that's sweet," Molly said.

"You are some wise kids," Ford said. "It's easy to make mistakes. I've made several, especially when it came to my brother."

"You two are twins, right?" Marco asked. "He looked a lot like you."

"Yes, Stanley is my twin brother," Ford confirmed. "He and I were really close back in the day, but one bad fight led to a lot of trouble."

"Sorry to hear that, I hope you've patched things up," Marco said.

"There may still be lingering regrets, but yes, we've patched it up," Ford said. "After all, we are brothers. Siblings fight, but it must not be forever."

"I'm an older sister to a pair of twin brothers, Jim and Tim," Kim said. "I know how tough it is when it comes to getting along with a sibling. I remember being disappointed at first because I wanted a sister. But, I do care about my brothers, and they're not so bad, just really weird sometimes."

"My two older siblings are twins," Amity said. "A boy and a girl, Edric and Emira. They took some pleasure in really annoying me, but lately they've been trying to be better, so that's something."

"I have a little brother named Daryl," Molly said. "He can be weird, and a little annoying, but I wouldn't trade him for anything."

"I just got a baby sister, her name is Mariposa," Marco said. "I'm kind of worried about being a big brother, I just hope I can make my little sister proud."

"You seem like a nice guy, so it will come naturally to you," Kim said.

"The most important thing is always doing your best to understand your sibling," Ford said. "It's not easy mind you, we are human and prone to mistakes. Still, you are a well-mannered boy, Marco. I think you can handle it."

"Thank you all for your kind words," Marco said. "I already feel kind of norma around all of you."

"Sweet! New friendships! Up top, Perry!" Molly said, holding her hand to the Platypus. Confused as he was, he high fived the girl, bringing a bigger smile to her face.

"One more thing, can you tell us about Belos?" Kim asked.

"He's just a scary powerful witch who can shape shift his arms into claws," Marco said. "He has a lot of deep secrets."

"He's also building an army of his own alongside Andrias," Amity said. "He is far from an easy fight."

"I think we can handle it," Kim said. "Now, let's talk strategy."

Elsewhere Gretel was in her superhero costume and helping people involved in a car accident, mainly by lifting the cars up to allow the paramedics access to the injured, and moving any debris out of the way alongside Hamster

"Wow, good thing we came by," Luz said. "She was quick to work. Hamster too."

"Yeah, and so far people seem fine with it," Kevin said.

"They've seen monsters before, so Gretel is a breath of fresh air," Luz said. "Just last Christmas, we got attacked by a robot dressed like Santa."

"How'd that happen?" Kevin asked.

"Blame Andrias, he really wanted us dead," Luz said.

"Boy, this Andrias sounds like bad news," Kevin said.

"Kevin! Luz!" Gretel flew over to the duo. "I got the civilians to safety, should I check somewhere else?"

"Sure, just try not to go too far," Kevin said.

"Okay!" Gretel said as she flew off with Hamster.

"Must be impressive having a little sister like that," Luz said.

"It is, even if I am a tad bit jealous," Kevin said. "I know it's wrong to feel that way, as her big brother, my priority should be protecting her and making sure she stays safe. But I just wish I had more of a way to do that."

"Hey, it seems like you're doing your best," Luz said.

"It just sucks sometimes, my sister's almost gotten hurt because I had such a hard time getting to her," Kevin said. "She's strong, but she lets that get to her head sometimes and she falls into simple traps. I'm just worried that one day, I won't be fast enough to save her when she really needs me."

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself," Luz said. "I get that feeling though, so many of my friends have gotten hurt lately, and I don't even know if they're alive. But rather than worry about that, I'm just going to focus on doing the best that I can, as should you."

"I'll try too," Kevin said. "It should be fine, so long as she listens to me when I need her to. Especially with this upcoming battle."

"Hey, remember what Marco said," Luz pointed out. "If you're not comfortable, you can go back home. This isn't your battle to fight."

"Well given that these guys have been traveling the multiverse, it may become my battle sooner or later," Kevin said. "I'd rather nip this problem in the bud before it gets worse. Besides, Gretel really wants to help, she thinks this could be the coolest thing she's done."

"I gotta say, she's a really nice girl, muy linda tambien," Luz said.

"That means pretty, right?" Kevin asked.

"Very pretty," Luz said. "You said you don't speak a lot of Spanish, right?"

"Afraid not, my mom's from Venezuela so she's fluent," Kevin said. "I never learned much."

"It happens," Luz said. "I can teach you a little if you want, I've been teaching Marco. My friend Amity's been making an effort too."

"Wow, she must be a good friend if she wants to learn your language," Kevin said.

"It's like that sometimes, when you care about someone, you learn about that person's culture," Luz said. "Take Anne, she and I are very close, so I'm trying to learn Thai. She doesn't speak it much but she appreciates the gesture. Marco wants to learn more about Taiwan just so he can feel closer to Marcy. She's not that deeply rooted in her culture, just like I'm not super rooted in Dominican culture, but I appreciate Amity wanting to learn. I wouldn't be surprised if Anne was trying to learn more too."

"Starting to wonder if I should learn more about Japanese culture then?" Kevin said.

"Ooh, got a girl you like?" Luz asked. "Japanese?"

"Her name is Hiromi, but things are kind of weird between us," Kevin said. "Like, I want to be with her, but more often than not, I'm trying to keep my sister safe."

"Huh, sounds like something out of a superhero comic, except you're not the one with the alter ego," Luz said.

"Sometimes I want to tell Hiromi, but that just seems so selfish," Kevin said. "It adds pressure. When Gretel got powers, we only kept it between ourselves and our cousin Fred, mainly since she hates talking to people, so we know she won't feel tempted to tell anyone."

"Fred...interesting name for a girl," Luz said.

"It's short for Winnifred," Kevin said.

"...You know, I really like that name for some reason," Luz said. "Anyway, about that Hiromi girl, it sounds like things are tough. I agree, it is important that you keep your sister safe, I feel that same worry with my friend King. But I hope you figure something out. I bet she's a nice girl."

"She works in a comic book shop, she's perfect," Kevin said.

"Whoa...I'd probably fall in love with her too," Luz said. "I won't of course, you saw her first. Plus, I'm with Anne."

"Oh, so you two are...?" Kevin asked. "You know..."

"You can say 'gay', I'm not going to bite your head off," Luz said. "And no, I'm bi. Anne...well it's weird with her, she thought she was straight, then she and I kissed on Christmas, and I guess this means she's either bi herself, or she's straight but made an exception for me."

"Can that happen?" Kevin asked.

"I know a girl, fully gay, but has one boy she has a crush on," Luz said. "It's confusing, I know. I don't like talking about it or thinking about it."

"...Hey um, that friend of yours, Amity," Kevin said. "She won't be offended that I took my sister out of that conversation, right?"

"No, you made the right call," Luz said. "Gretel probably has enough to think about."

"If at all, she's got such a short attention span," Kevin said. "That's another reason I worry about her so much."

"Heh, I can be the same," Luz admitted. "But she seems to be doing good."

"Kevin!" Gretel flew back over. "Good news, I stopped a mugger, and the lady was so happy, she gave me a piece of candy!"

"That's great," Kevin said.

"Bad news..." Gretel looked at the candy. "It's peppermint. Which isnt bad I suppose, but it's not even Christmas time, why is she carrying peppermint? Where's the chocolate?"

"Gretel, be happy she gave you anything," Kevin said.

"I saved her from a mugger!" Gretel said.

"Which was kind of you, don't get upset over a reward that lady was not obligated to give you," Kevin scolded.

"...You're right, a hero does the right thing for the sake of it," Gretel said.

"Well, because you're a nice girl, how about I take you to get some tacos?" Luz asked. "There's a place I know that Marco loves. For good reason."

"That sounds cool!" Gretel said. "Do they have nachos too?"

"Oh totally, Marco told me that back when he loved nachos, that was the go to place," Luz said.

"Oh, did he stop liking Nachos?" Gretel asked.

"Not by choice," Luz said. "That girl Janna hypnotized him into hating Nachos."

"...Why would she do that!?" Kevin asked. "Why is that girl so weird!?'

"Seriously, is she Marco's bully?" Gretel asked.

"She's supposed to be his friend, but she's so unusual about it," Luz said. "She makes Sasha look tame at times."

"I'm not too crazy about Sasha either, but Marco at least values her," Kevin said.

"Sasha's a bit troubled, that's why Marco feels bad for her," Luz said. "I used to hate Sasha too, but when you really get to know her, she's a lot more caring than she acts. But she's just not good at showing that kinder side to her, and unfortuantely she just ends up annoying everyone."

"Sounds almost like Fred," Gretel said. "Except Fred's not as snarky."

"Well, I suppose we shouldn't be talking about anyone behind their backs," Luz said. "Regardless if they deserve it."

"Yeah, you're right," Kevin asked. "Come on, let's go get those tacos."

"Wait, where's your Hamster?" Luz asked.

"I'm here," Hamster said while dusting himself off. "Sorry, I saw some litterbug dropping trash all over a nearby park. That piece of dirt..."

"Cool, so...Taco Time," Luz said and led everyone away.

Elsewhere Anne was walking with the Pine Twins along a beach, with Dipper asking everyone they came across about Stan while Mabel stuck closer to Anne and Polly, the latter riding on Anne's shoulders due to the hot sand.

"Your brother is on quite a mission," Anne said.

"Yeah, Dipper's always so hyper focused like that," Mabel said. "Do you have a brother?"

"No, well...kind of," Anne said. "Polly and her brother Sprig are the closest I felt to having siblings."

"Sprig's a bit hard to tie down too," Polly said.

"Hey, Polly, are you feeling alright?" Anne asked. "I know you're not good with hot weather."

"If I can handle a volcano, I can handle a beach," Polly said.

"You were in a volcano?" Mabel asked.

"Yeah, we had to travel to some temples and figure out some puzzles to unlock the power of that Music Box we mentioned," Anne said.

"Man, I bet Dipper would love to learn more about that," Mabel called her brother over. "Hey Dipper! Come hear what Anne has to say!"

"Not now Mabel! We gotta find Grunkle Stan!" Dipper said.

Mabel groaned in annoyance, "He really needs to slow down."

"That's how guys are sometimes. Once they have a goal in mind, they're simple minded in approaching it," Anne said.

"That's annoying," Polly said.

"It seems like a stereotype, and I already learned my lesson on that," Anne said. "But some truths persevere. Marco was super determined to get things done, but it's what I admire about him."

"He seems really nice," Mabel said. "Cute too, shame he's taken."

"Lots of girls like Marco," Anne said. "I admit, he caught my attention too."

"Same here, but I think I like him more as a big brother," Polly said.

Dipper walked by the girls as he groaned in frustration, "This stupid search went nowhere...where could Grunkle Stan be?"

"Relax dude, I'm sure he's around here," Anne said. "Why are you so worried? He seems like the kind of guy who can take care of himself."

"He tends to get into trouble when we're not looking," Dipper said.

"Come on, you're exaggerating," Mabel said. "He's been fine our whole lives when we weren't there."

"Mabel, he's been to jail a bunch of times for conning people, and who knows what else?" Dipper said. "Plus, he tends to get drunk sometimes and given that this is California-"

"Kids!" Stan ran over to them, the man not having a shirt on.

"Dude, what the hell!?" Anne said. "Where's your shirt!?"

"First off, watch that potty mouth of yours," Stan scolded. "Second, I lost it in a fight. Third, you gotta hide me!"

"Huh? What for!?" Dipper asked.

"I conned some suckers out of five hundred dollars, and now they're pissed!" Stan said.

"How'd you con them!?" Anne asked.

"Oh, it's actually really funny," Stan said as he pulled out a deck of cards. "You see the trick is-"

"I see cops!" Dipper said. "Quick, in the dumpster!"

"Alley-Oop!" Stan jumped into the garbage pile, much to the disgust of the kids watching.

"Hey kids!" the cops said. "You see an old man about eighty years old and without a shirt!?"

"Eighty?" Mabel asked. "I thought he was-"

Dipper elbowed Mabel in the sides before speaking, "He ran into town."

"All units, move in!" the cops said and ran off.

Once the coast was clear, Stan had come out of the dumpster, smelling awful, "That was close. Thanks for the save kids."

"You know Mr. Pines, when my grandpa tried scamming people once, he went bankrupt," Polly said.

"Did he get caught?" Stan asked.

"He confessed," Polly said.

"Agh! You never confess! That's the worst thing a scammer can do!" Stan said. "Anyway, I'm off to double my winnings."

"NO!" Dipper said. "Just...go home, now! We already have enough to worry about."

"Fine...I need a new shirt anyway," Stan said as he left. "See you kids later!"

Dipper rubbed his face in annoyance, "Geez."

"Is he normally like this?" Anne asked.

"Actually, he's really cool for the most part," Dipper said. "He's one of the bravest men I know. He never backs down from danger, and he always stands by his beliefs. But sometimes, he get so excited and weird stuff happens."

"Sounds like the excitement got to him," Anne said. "Look, now that we found your uncle, let's grab a bite to eat. We'll get some tacos, I know a good place."

"I'm down with that," Mabel said.

"By the way...we heard about Andrias and Belos, but who was that girl with the crown exactly?" Dipper asked.

"...That's my best friend, Marcy Wu," Anne said. "We need to get that crown off of her to save her. I can't stand seeing her possessed like that."

"I know what it's like to get possessed," Dipper said. "I lost my whole body once, thanks to Bill Cipher."

"You've mentioned that name a few times, how bad is this dude?" Anne asked.

"Let's just say that everything I heard about Andrias and Belos still pales in comparision to what Bill can do," Dipper said.

"...Now you've got me worried about him too," Anne said.

"Look, we've outsmarted Bill before, we'll be fine," Dipper said. "I didn't mean to worry you, let's just focus on those tacos."

"Right..." Anne said as she led the twins to Britta's.

Lastly, Brandy is seen looking through some clothing racks, trying to find the perfect fit, "Ugh, some of this stuff looks so last season. I was better off just asking for a trip to Hollywood. Maybe I can find a bus schedule."

Several people glanced in her direction, confused as to what she was, wondering if she was in costume or not. This was especially awkward for Star and Ron, both who seemed to notice the weird glances.

"Being a chaperone for a bipedal, talking dog was not on my plans today," Star said.

"It wasn't on mine either, but I've seen some weird stuff," Ron said. "One of the guys Kim and I fight is part monkey."

"Wow, really?" Star asked.

"He's really good at martial arts," Ron said. "It's nothing Kim and I can't handle, but he's still a pain."

"Kim expressed worry about some guy named Drakken joining," Star said. "Is he really dangerous?"

"Well he's nothing to overlook," Ron said. "He acts like a buffoon at times, but he can be really dangerous when left unchecked. Especially with Shego by his side."

"Shego is that girl in green, right?" Star asked.

"Yeah, she's much more dangerous given her powers and fighting style," Ron said. "She's one of the only people that can match Kim in skill. That's saying something because Kim is amazing."

"Well if this Drakken guy really is going to work with Belos and Andrias, that just makes our job harder," Star said.

"Look, don't worry about it," Ron said. "KP and I have sent that guy packing at least once a week for years now. Plus we got a stacked team, so the next time we meet this Belos and Andrias duo, we'll totally stomp them."

"Well, I do feel comfortable with our odds," Star said.

"This his how much!?" Brandy shouted before throwing a shirt away. "How is a piece of junk like that priced so highly!? What a rip-off!"

"Brandy!" Star went to gently ease the girl out of the store, "Come on, let's find someplace else to go."

"Everything here sucks, I thought you said you shopped here!" Brandy said.

"Listen, I shopped more for comfort than fashion," Star said,

"Well that explains the outfit," Brandy said.

Star furrowed her brow in annoyance before brushing it off, "How about a lunch break? Do you like Tacos?"

"Tacos? What kind of dog do you take me for?" Brandy asked.

"I don't know...a poodle?" Star asked.

"Hey! I'm not a poodle!" Brandy shouted, before a worry flashed through her mind. "Wait...I am mixed with something...what if it is a poodle!?" She then slapped her cheeks, "Get it together Brandy, you've already been through this and survived, you don't need to go through it again."

"What are you going on about!?" Star asked.

"I wasn't talking to you," Brandy said, further annoying Star. "Anyway, if you want to get tacos, then go. I'm going to find some place that's reasonably priced."

"How much money do you even have?" Ron asked.

"...Crap...I forgot I'm broke," Brandy pulled some rocks out of her pocket. "I doubt any store will take rocks. Not these kind anyway."

"Look, let's just go do the taco thing, sound good?" Ron asked. "I'll even tell you about my cool secret agent stories."

"Yeah, I'm not interested in anything you have to say," Brandy said. "Let's just get these tacos and go home. Hopefully Marco figured this multiverse thing out and I can finally go home."

"You think your family even knows you're gone?" Star asked.

"Don't ask me stupid questions, of course they know," Brandy said. "They're definitely worried, and why wouldn't they be? I'm me."

"...Seriously, you and Bonnie could be either the best of friends, or a match made in hell," Ron said.

"Whatever, just take me to this taco place," Brandy said.

Star angrily gritted her teeth while clenching her fist, "Let's go..."

Back home, while everyone still made plans, Marco felt his stomach grumbling.

"Is anyone else hungry?" Marco asked.

"I am," Molly said.

"Same, I could go for something to eat," Kim said.

"I know a fun Taco place, let's go there," Marco suggested.

"You mean Britta's?" Amity asked.

"That sounds awesome," Sasha said. "Let's go."

In the Boiling Isles, Belos was seen preparing his Day of Unity ceremony. His Coven was present and the witches were by his side.

Terra was happy to be there of course, due to her loyalty. Darrius and Eberwolf glanced at one another, both knowing what must be done. Raine looked conflicted, feeling some anxiety over what was to happen.

Andrias was nearby with Darcy, Drakken and Shego.

"It's almost time," Andrias said. "Once the ceremony completes, we will immediately depart for Earth."

"How much longer do we have to wait?" Shego asked. "It's been like an hour."

"These things require time, my dear," Andrias said. "Belos knows what he's doing."

"Yes, so stop whining already, you're bothering our ears," Darcy said.

"Hey, I don't take orders from a punk kid!" Shego warned.

"This 'punk kid' is the embodiment of hundreds upon hundreds of years of Amphibia Royalty!" Darcy reminded. "We are not one, we are many!"

"Yeah, many annoying old geezers!" Shego said.

"Come now, let us not fight," Drakken said. "We have a world to conquer, we must be united."

"Whatever, let's just get this over with," Shego said.

Belos had begun the ceremony, each of his witch allies in their positions.

"My friends, it is time for us to fulfill our ancient prophecy," Belos said. "Gather together as we-"

"Watch out!" Andrias called as a fireball was sent in Belos's direction, the Emperor barely dodging.

"Was that Luz!?" Belos wondered.

Coming into view instead was Eda, the woman joined by Hop Pop and River. "Hey Belos, did you miss me!?"

"Edalyn...what a surprise," Belos said as he glanced at Andrias, lightly gesturing him to come over. "Looks like you're alive after all."

"It's going to take more than a cowardly ambush to kill me!" Eda said. She ran to attack, but Shego leapt in front of her. "Huh? Who's this!?"

"Buzz off!" Shego kicked Eda away, then used her energy blast to knock back both River and Hop Pop.

"Is that another witch!?" Hop Pop wondered.

"Excellent work, Shego," Belos commended. "Make sure they stay away, otherwise I will be unable to complete my plans."

"Hey no one wants it done more than me, I hate waiting around!" Shego rushed in to attack some more, trying to overpower the trio.

"Now then," Belos was about to begin again, but felt a pellet hit his head. "What now!?"

Sprig leapt into view, the boy sporting a slingshot. "Hey Belos, did you miss me!?"

"It's that annoying Plantar boy!" Andrias shouted in annoyance. He turned to some robot guards. "Sieze him!"

As the got in close, King leapt in front of them, "Weh!"

"This creature!?" Andrias asked.

King leapt to attack one of the robots, clawing at it's head and causing the other robots to attack it accidentally, then confusing them into fighting each other.

"That foolish creature!" Belos looked ready to strike when he heard a familiar voice.

"Uncle!"

Belos turned around, and found himself face to face with his nephew, "Hunter..."

"This has to stop!" Hunter said. "I won't let you do this! I won't let you destroy The Boiling Isles!"

"Dear boy, everything I do is for the greater good," Belos said. "Now don't be a fool, stand aside."

"I am done listening to you!" Hunter said. "As of today, I-HEY!"

Shego grabbed the boy from behind, wrapping her arm around his neck, "We're busy kid!"

"Get off me!" Hunter tried elbowing Shego a couple of times, to which she kneed him in the back and then kicked him aside.

"Would anyone else like to interrupt me!?" Belos asked in annoyance.

"Well...since you asked!" Came Kelly's voice as she leapt into view with her friend. "Let's go Jorbie!"

Tom flew over as well, glaring a hole through Belos, "It's time to end this!"

Willow showed up as well, utilizing her plant magic, "We're going to save The Boiling Isles!"

Gus walked over as well, looking ready for a fight, "This has been a long time coming, Belos!"

Next Lilith walked over, the woman having her glyphs out, "I've been waiting so long for this chance."

Hooty also appeared from a mini house on Lilith's' back, "Let's get this guy, Lulu!"

Grime walked over as well with his hammer over his shoulder, the Toad looking ready for a showdown. "My gripe is more with Andrias, but I don't mind bashing in the heads of two Royal Figures."

Lastly Higgs showed up while drawing her sword, "It ends now, Belos! You and your team are done!"

"Blast it all..." Belos lamented as he generated some power. "It's always one thing or another with the likes of you."

Just as he was about to attack, Raine sent a blast near him, taking the Emperor by surprise.

"That's far enough!" Raine said. "No more of this, Belos!"

"Raine...why am I not surprised?" Belos said as Terra used her vines to grab the traitor.

"Raine!" Darrius leapt to action and attacked Terra, knocking her off the platform.

"Darrius!? You too!?" Belos looked ready to strike, but Eberwolf leapt on his head and began clawing.

Hunter pulled himself up, amazed by what he just saw, "Wait, Darius!?"

"On your feet, Hunter," Darius said as he helped the boy up. "We're ending this."

"Behind you!" Hunter warned.

Darius turned around and found himself dodging a strike from Andrias's sword. "Seems like no one told you about what we did to Ludo! Those who turn against us will face the penalty of death!"

Hunter looked ready to fight alongside Darius, then saw Shego sinisterly making her way over.

"Just what I need, another brat kid to deal with," Shego prepared for battle.

"Be careful with this woman," Hunter said. "I don't know her well but I do know she's from another dimension, and she's quite the fighter."

"I can handle it," Darius said.

Unknown to them, Belos had returned to his original position, and began to utilize his magic, "The Day of Unity is upon us!"

"Stop him!" Eda warned as she went after Belos.

Now it was Darcy's turn to leap into battle, "Don't even try it."

"Marcy?" Eda asked. "Marcy! Snap out of it!"

"Please, the likes of Anne Boonchuy, Marco Diaz and your precious Luz tried and failed!" Darcy said. "What hope do you have, Edalyn!?"

"I'm not letting a nice girl like Marcy suffer under Belos's rule!" Eda said. "I will fight you if I have too!"

"Too late..." Belos said. "Andrias! Activate the Portal!"

"With pleasure, Andrias used the magic that Belos was absorbing to power the portal. Many of the witches nearby began to feel faint.

"What...what is happening!?" Terra asked as her magic was drained from her.

"No!" Raine went to stop Belos, but Drakken stood in his way.

"Sit down, gramps!" Drakken kicked the witch to the ground as he turned to his new ally. "That's impressive, I must admit."

"OPEN PORTAL!" Andrias shouted as the Music Box did its job.

Meanwhile at Britta's tacos, Marco and the others had just reunited with their friends.

"Wow, looks like we all had the same idea," Marco said as he sat down. "How was Echo Creek?"

"Terrible, the clothes here are lame!" Brandy said.

"Oh put a cork in it already," Star said, much to Brandy's annoyance.

"There was a lot of danger, but I stopped it," Gretel said.

"We found Grunkle Stan, he's wanted by the police," Dipper shamefully admitted.

"Oh what did my brother do this time!?" Ford asked in disbelief.

"He conned some kids, got like five hundred dollars," Anne said.

"Whoa really!?" Sasha asked in excitement. "That's freaking cool!"

"Don't encourage that!" Anne scolded.

"Well, we're all here, so let's have some tacos," Amity said.

"You guys make plans?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, it was a piece of cake," Kim said. "We just gotta bring the fight to Belos and Andrias now."

Suddenly some portals opened in the sky, much to everyone's confusion.

"Uh...is this normal?" Molly asked.

"No..." Marco said, a hint of fear in his voice.

The sight of the portals made not only Dipper worried, but also Ford, both knowing that something like this usually leads to trouble.

On the other side of the portal, Andrias held his hands out in triumph, "Our time has come!" Suddenly his castle appeared from behind him through another portal, the building now flying as Andrias made his way to the top. "Belos! Keep doing what you're doing! I will break through first!"

"Very well!" Belos said as he continued stealing power. "Today marks a new day! For all of us!"

"M-Master..." Terra fell to her knees. "Why!?"

"For a better future, Terra," Belos said. "You've all served your purpose, you should be proud."

"There's nothing to be proud of!" Eda called as she too felt weak. "You're just another monster! Sooner or later, you will face your consequences!"

"Oh can it!" Darcy said as she kicked Eda. "Hey Belos, we'll go ahead too. We have some friends to visit."

"By all means," Belos encouraged.

"Shego, go with Darcy!" Drakken ordered. "I will lead my men to round up all the trouble makers here!"

"Ugh, why me though?" Shego asked.

"Because I said so!" Drakken said. "Seriously, just make sure those brats don't cause trouble!"

"Ugh, fine..." Shego said as she went with Darcy.

Andrias's portal appeared over the skies of Hollywood as the mad tyrant spoke down to everyone, "Attention Earth! Your new ruler is here!"

Down below, Mr. X grumbled in worry, "This can't be good."

Back at Britta's Tacos, Marco got up off of his seat and stood before his crowd of friends. "Looks like Andrias and Belos are making their move. Last chance, anyone who wants to back out, tell me now!"

"Not happening," Kim said. "Ron and I are with you."

"If Drakken's involved, he's our problem," Ron said. "We're not abandoning you."

"I've made my choice," Kevin said.

"Same, I want to fight some bad guys!" Gretel said as she slammed her fist against her palm with Hamster doing the same.

"I want to help out too," Molly said.

"My family already agreed to this," Dipper said.

Perry tipped his head to agree.

"Well, I'm not risking my life, so I'm going to find somewhere to hide," Brandy said.

"You do you, mutt," Star said.

"Just because I'm mixed, doesn't mean I'm a mutt!" Brandy shouted. "I'm still at least ninety percent spaniel!"

"Brandy, go hide at my house," Marco said. "At the very least, let my parents know so they can keep my sister safe."

"Sure, I can handle that," Brandy said as she began to leave. "Go kick some butt, Marco!"

Star shook her head in annoyance, "That girl is the definition of the word, bitch."

"Hey!" Kevin covered Gretel's ears.

"Kevin!" Gretel pulled away. "Come on, I've heard Fred say worse."

"You what!?" Kevin shouted. "You better not have repeated those words!"

"Kevin, I'm about to fight in a war, why are you worried about my language?" Gretel asked.

"Smart girl," Sasha said.

"Zip it, Sasha!" Amity scolded.

"Focus!" Marco said. "This is where it ends! We gotta find Andrias and Belos! Then do what we gotta do to end this!"

"I'm prepared for that," Sasha said as she slightly unsheathed her sword.

"So am I," Amity said as she generated some abomination magic.

"Not just that...we have to...and I mean, HAVE TO, free Marcy," Marco said.

"We will," Anne said, with Sasha nodding in agreement. "Believe me Marco, no one wants Marcy freed more than anyone of us, especially me and Sasha."

"Just get in close and pull that crown off," Sasha said.

"We might need to rough her up a bit," Amity said. "I really don't want to hurt Marcy but..."

"No one does, but if it will save her from enslavement, then that's the important thing," Luz said.

"Exactly," Marco said. "Alright team, roll out!"

"Let's do this!" Star said as she led the squad into battle.

Marco stood still for a moment as he clenched his fist, "Marcy...I will free you...or I will die trying."

With that, Marco ran to join his friends as they prepared to fend off the ultimate evil, and save those they hold dear to them. The cumulitive battle was upon them.
