__Mabel's POV__

After apologizing with Dipper, Henry has told us that it's time to face the last objective: the Attraction Storage. 

We entered the room, it was huge, a with an amusement park ride in it. I sat down and giggled.

"If only this was working," I told myself.

Dipper and Henry approached a table. Henry leaned on it while admiring the large room. Dipper was finding the switch in the meantime.

"Henry can you tell me about other workers too? I mean ones that you have met." I ask him.

"I met Wally Franks in person. He was a really fun guy, he looked young for his age and some people think that his voice doesn't fit him. He's good friends with Susie Campbell. The two were practically twins. He was also good friends with Lacie Benton and Shawn Flynn, they'd joke around, calling them the drunk squad. Lacie Benton was like his older sister. She was the mechanic of the rides, and Wally, he was going to replace Thomas Connor soon as the mechanic of the pipes and all that. Thomas was always mad at him cause he'd screw up, but Lacie would teach him without getting mad at all, she was a great teacher for him."

"How did he look like?"

"He wore a cap with a Bendy head. He had a white polo, boots, and grey leggings. He has brown hair and freckles."

"Do you know which ink monster did he turn into?"Dipper asks.

"Boris. He turned into a Boris. The one we're going to save right now."

I gasp in shock. It was hard to believe that Susie, who was great friends with Wally, now wants him dead.

"Did you find the switch Dipper?" henry calls him, changing the subject.

"Yeah!"

"Okay then, come back here, time to do this."

"What do you mean?"Dipper returns, a bit curious. So was I. Henry was full of surprises.

He presses the audio log that was on the table and it started to share the words of Bertrum.

"The biggest park ever built, a centerfold of attractions. Each one, grander than the one before it. It makes my eyes come to tears at the thought. But then... oh Mister Drew. For all your talk of dreams, you are the true architect behind so many nightmares. I built this park. It was to be a masterpiece! My masterpiece! And now you think you can just throw me out? Trample me to the dust and forget me? No! This is my park! My glory!"

The machine started to move. I quickly got out of one of the rides. Henry smiles, holding his trusty ax.

"What's going on? Is the place going to explode?" Dipper asks.

 "You may think I've gone..."

Henry stands on the table.

 "But I'm still here!"

 "Boss fight!" He suddenly shouts. Everything happened fast. The machine revealed a head, Bertrum's head. Henry bounced off the table and landed on one of the machine's arms.  There were some kinds of targets on them. He screams and hits them. He was then hit by the wall by the angry ride. But Henry resisted. He was so confident.

I joined him too. I took a ride unbeknownst to the monster and when he spun the arms around, I managed to get to the targets and hit them. I had the same fate as Henry, hit to the wall. It kinda hurt my back. 

Dipper looked at the whole scene in shock.

__Dipper's POV__ 

I tried to do something, but I was sure my weapon wasn't that strong to hit the targets.

Then something fell from the ceiling. I turn and see an ax. I run to it and look at where it came from.

I recognized Allie form the shadows of the ceiling, winking at me. Behind her was her own ax, so this must've been an extra she had.

I nod at her as a thanks and ran to the machine.

henry and Mabel were doing the same again. Jumped on the arms and hit the targets. Which would anger Berturm more.

I, on the other hand decided to do something else. When Bertrum would place his arms down, resting, before going crazy all over again, I'd hit more targets than the others. And when Bertrum would realize this and spin, I'd dodge and hide near the wall. 

Mabel and Henry saw my technique, and soon we were doing the same.

Target after target.

Hit after hit.

Bertrum got tired and tired.

He wanted to end us.

But we won't let that happen.

Bertrum, angered, started to scream and shout of frustration. His arms detached from his body, and steam started to appear. The doors were closing, much to Bertrum's anger.

The doors finally, close, and there was no more action. Just silence.

"We did it! Thanks to you Dipper! You made it much easier!" Mabel runs to me and hugs me really tightly.

"Heh, knew you had it in you kid," Henry says, ruffling my hair. "Now let's go to the Haunted House and save Wally."

I nod, run to the switch, turn it on, and we return outside.

We're confident enough to defeat Alice.

(Sorry for the short chapter, next chapter might be short too, I dunno, but expect the Chapter 4 to end today)
