Mabel's POV

I was silent. We all were. What could we say? A good friend of ours tore himself apart, and we could only watch.

I can't wait to get Dipper back for this. Suddenly, a figure opened the door. She looked like one of Dipper's servants.

"You are requested to follow me." Was all she said. And before we could argue, we were pulled towards her.

As we continued the walk, I wondered what was going to happen. I could barely see the path ahead of me, but it seemed the servants knew exactly where to go. I kept stumbling through the halls, my paranoia keeping me on edge.

Suddenly the servants stopped. They opened up two doors that led us into what looked like a training room. Swords were lined up on the wall, and there was a floating circle in the middle. Around the arena, many demons and monsters were sitting. Dipper was among them, sitting next to Bill and chatting. When he saw us, he stood.

"Hello my fellow nightmares!" He shouted, "I'm so glad you could join us to witness some arrogant meat sacks fail once again! Are you excited!"  Shouts and cheers erupted from the stands. Oh, how I wanted to punch them.

Dipper turned to us. " I've grown a bit bored keeping you in your cell. So today, you'll choose three of you against me, Bill, and Pyronica in sword fighting. No magic applied."

"Really?" I asked. This seemed a little too good.

"Really. And if you win, you get to leave. That's a pretty good deal."

We huddled up to discuss. After the huddle, I walked up to Dipper.

"We'll do it. Me, Wendy, and Ford will defeat you."

" I don't think you will." Dipper said, "But it's a deal!" And with that, we shook on it.

"I want to go with Sixer!" Bill shouted. Dipper chuckled and gave him a thumbs up.

"Can I have Wendy?" Pyronica asked. "No one gives my little bro heartbreak and gets away with it."

"She's your SISTER?" I yelled. Dipper just nodded.

I couldn't believe I got replaced. How dare he just do that? It only fueled me up more.

"So the rules are simple." Dipper said. "You'll go up in the circle with your opponent. If you fall off the circle, you win the match. You guys just need to win once for you to be free. Are you ready?"

I took a deep breath before nodding.

"Alright, let's start." And with that we stepped on the circle.

A bell ring, and I lunged forward, only for him to sidestep, causing me to lose my balance. He took this as an opportunity, swinging near my feet, making me instantly fall.

I open my eyes to Dipper smirking at me. "Better luck next time!" He chirped.

Grunkle Ford lasted a little longer than me, but Bill made him drop his sword. Wendy went pretty long, but Pyronica was too fast, and she fell too.

"Well folks I think you can see that these folks aren't leaving anytime soon. So, as our prize, we're going to torture them more! Who do you think it should be, guys?"

I heard a lot of shouts for all three of us. After a while, Dipper silenced them.

"Ok guys, let's try Wendy!"

The monsters were excited for this. I wanted to look away, to fix things somehow. I wanted things to be normal.

But things will never be the same.
