Falling Gravity (Season 01)

DWS (11)

Wendy took a turn on the hall of her palace and opened a nearby door. Behind her was Fiddleford and Brianna, together with a boy floating on a green glow. Her smile dropped at hearing a groan and turning to see him struggling.

"Let me go, you red-haired maniac weirdo!"

"I'm afraid I can't," Wendy got closer of him. "Because after 15 years, I finally have what I need the most." she passed a hand on his cheek. "It's you, my emperor. My sweet Dipper."

Dipper couldn't move, but that didn't stop him from trying. He knew giving up the ring would make him powerless, but keeping the ring out of him was better than to let Wendy search him and find it just to keep it for herself. She was already dangerous and unstable, he couldn't risk turning her even more powerful. That's why he went after Mabel, that's why he threw it at her. It was safer that way.

Even if he wasn't so safe anymore.

"Your ascension won't work, Tao." Dipper said. "You're not a goddess! You're just a normal girl with powers!"

"No, I'm not." Wendy said. "And now, with this." the three Journals flew behind her, surrounded by the green glow. "Now I can take my power back, to its fullest." she turned to Blind Fidds. "While I am upset that this was hidden from me." she shot him a glare. "I am glad to have them all now."

Dipper turned to Blind Fidds. "Wait— you!" he frowned. "It's you! You little thief! Lying bastard!"

The elder man shook his head. "Your Majesty, I should go." he turned. "I will be preparing your ritual with Brianna."

Wendy nod. Brianna and Blind Fidds bowed to her, leaving afterwards.

When they turned the hall and disappeared from Wendy's sight, she turned back to Dipper and brought him closer to her with her magic. She lightly pulled one of the strings of his eye patch. "You know," she started. "You remind me of Brianna. Both wear eye patches, you're mysterious, and I like both of you." she said. "But the question is. . . What is your story?"

Dipper tried to move away from her hand, to no avail. Wendy shook her head, as if dealing with an ignorant child. "You're still stubborn." she said. "But soon, you will remember." she stepped inside of the room, bringing Dipper floating behind her.

"What are you doing?" Dipper asked.

"I already done." Wendy said. She moved her arm, and the glow followed her direction.

The glow released Dipper with a thud. Dipper stood on his elbows and looked up at her. "You can't trap me here thinking that I will love you after this!"

Wendy giggled with a hand in front of her mouth. "But of course I can!" she said. "We're finally going home, darling. I am finally going to take back what's mine." she leaned forward, lowering her body slightly. "And you will love me, because you will remember us."

Dipper took advantage of her closure to jump and try to punch her. His fist was blocked by a barrier with ten repetitive symbols. His eyes went wide, pulling his hand away from the barrier and retreating as far as he could, before his back hit the other side of the barrier. "Wh—What?" he looked down and around, seeing a gigantic pentagram with symbols drawn on the floor.

Wendy's smile dropped. "That was rude, Tyrone."

"You don't get to call me that." Dipper spat. "What the heck did you do?! What is this?!"

"For someone who held the first knowledge you truly lack it, don't you?" Wendy chuckled teasingly. "This is the same shield Pacifica made against me, but. . . More complete." she spoke like a teacher giving a lesson. "The complete spell is actually a caging barrier. Whoever goes in, won't get out."
