Five Sparks of Life: The Blossoming Beginning

Episode 18: Everything Falls

(And I believe we have about two chapters left and this is done! I can't believe it! This story was so much fun to write and different from what I normally do. It is a wonderful adventure, and I will write at least 3 more series for it! For now, enjoy!)

           "Ow... What happened?" Kim asked as she sat up and noticed she wasn't at Flynn Findings.

She noticed she was on a couch and found Ron sighing in relief. He helped her sit up and lean against the couch.

"We got our butts handed to us" Randy answered with a groan as he was holding an ice pack against his head.

Kim noticed a cloth was on her head and took it off. She looked her friends was disappointed in herself. Star was holding her leg while Danny was getting taken care of by his big sister and Sam. Everyone was hurt. They lost the book and Lapis to Bill. They failed. She sighed as she hugged herself and looked at her feet.

"Hey, are you ok?" Star asked worriedly as she noticed Kim's sadden expression.

"No offense, but I don't she and I are not ok. Unlike you and Randy, we are actually aware of the consequences and realized this is bad" Danny snapped as he groaned at Jazz rubbing some ointment on him, "This is bad... I don't even how we are even going to do anything now"

Jazz shook her head as Randy snapped, "Well, we haven't given up yet. We did lose, but we can't let that stop us from trying to make a comeback and do something to help others. We can't leave the Nomicon in their hands nor leave Lapis like that"

"And how do you propose to do that?" Danny asked annoyed, "We are literally broken and beaten. He took us out with his power. For once, stop being an idiot and think"

Randy growled as Howard held Randy's shoulder to stop him from fighting with Danny. She could feel his fire burning while Star shook her head at them. Star looked to Kim who seemed defeated. Were they finished? Was this it?

"I don't even know how we will explain this to my parents" Danny said in defeat, "Heck, will we even have a job? We left Flynn Finding open"

Tucker screamed in realization as Sam reassured, "Hey, we will also take the blame for it too. We opened the building and let that happen"

Danny simply shrugged in defeat while Star struggled to stand up. Marco and Janna helped her, but she fell on her knees and groaned in pain.

"But we can't give up" she said in a tired manner, "We have to do something. We can still do something, right?"

She looked at Danny, Randy, and then to Kim. Why weren't they saying anything? They weren't giving up, were they?! There was a loud knock on the door, making everyone jump.

"Who is that?" Tucker asked worriedly as he whimpered.

"I'll go and see" Randy reassured them as Howard helped him stand up.

"Are you sure?" Howard asked worriedly.

Randy glanced at his friends and nodded. They were too weak to fight. He was as well, but he wouldn't mind protecting them with his remaining strength. He and Howard went to open the door and found an old, scientist standing in front of them.

"Uh, can I help you?" Randy asked unsure as Howard shrugged at him.

"It's us!" Mabel exclaimed happily as she pulled herself and Dipper in front of the old scientist.

"Twins?" Danny, Tucker, and Sam said surprised.

"Uh, who is the old scientist?" Randy called as the old scientist shook his head.
