"Sometimes, all you can do is lie in bed, and hope to go to fall asleep before you fall apart."

🥀.

       Are you okay? Do you need any help? I've been hoping you'd wake up sooner, but I'm glad you're awake now, this is what Wirt meant. Instead of those caring words leaving his dry lips, his fiendish side showed,"Get up." The Beast will never let me be kind.

      Finn nods quickly standing up. His noodle legs collapsed immediately. I can't feel my legs. His thick hair fell beside his neck, and his hoodie with it revealing his dirty blonde scalp. Wirt sighs opon seeing Finn's hair in a tangle mess, he could blend in with a bird's nest. "O-Okay let's t-try this again..." The ice prince mumbles. His eyes are like pressure beams ready to squash me.

       Wirt takes a quick glance behind him to see the demon limping from side to side towards them. Leave me alone! He stares down at his companion. The blonde below jabs an elbow at his own thighs. He yelps,"It-It senses pain, but n-not movement? L-Listen to me you i-idiot get up!"

       The ice prince huffs more curses under his breath. His rage rises when his feet don't seem to respond.

"I will leave you here if you don't get up."Wirt states walking off to go with the demon.

"W-Wait I'm c-coming!"Finn reaches for Wirt's midnight cloak, and as the Lantern Barrer strolls off he drags the ice prince with him.

      The burbling water swishes side to side in the lake, and the wind softly whispers in your ears. The dead trees stick out high from the fog. Bill rests underneath an alderwood tree, his face appearing relaxed. "I'm hungry."he states as both boys stop next to him.

"Wirt get me food."

"No."

○°•Time Baby's Realm•°○

◇. 

       "You will return to The Unknown, and bring me their flesh attached to their bodies. Don't forget that if you fail me Iron I will strip you from your position, and harvest you inside my tummy." Time Baby reaches out for the large circle with brown dots handed to him. He chomps it all in one bite. The cookies are magnificent, he concludes tasting the chocolate swirling in mush around the dark caves in his mouth. A fresh baked ingredient was inserted to make his breath smell new.

        How is he not choking if he doesn't have any teeth? General Iron flinches at the crunching sound of Time Baby's jaw. Did he break a bone? He bows then turns on his heel to march down the colored carpet.

       Osto shakes her head, I have to make him angry to zap me again so I can become stronger. She raises a brow at the large toddler before her, "Do you need to eat? I thought you didn't since you're the All Powerful King of the universe that you didn't have a weakness. I guess food is one."

"Be quiet witch." A servant robot flies up to the Ruler of Time with the same torn dark green t-shirt. He pats away the chocolate under his lord's chin, and brushes away any crumbs. "If you want more power so you can grow younger again then just say so. I have no problem letting a chance to kill you pass away."

      Osto leans on the large pillar,"How do you know my wishes?"

"I know everything."

"Then do you know a way to get rid of those three kids?"she smirks.

      After the last words leave her mouth, Time Baby strikes a radiant beam of red light from his hourglass tattoo at Osto. She jolts back receiving the energy. Violet mist covers her as she cries a witch-like laugh.

* * *

      In a rusty, cold, ombre-orange cell, dangling by a weak chain several miles in the air; a blonde girl wearing a brown torn dress shakes the bars holding her hostage. Steam came from tubes connected to all over the palace. Only orange lights illuminated from above the dark atmosphere. There were other cages around her containing rotten corpses, dry skeletons, and faint civilians. Most of the people around her were dead with red trickling down the wounds they sustained over the years of torture.

"I am back Northwest~"Iron announced as he stood below her miles apart. His body glows purple, his feet part from the ground into an inhuman state. He's floating. He uses the new power to soar high up the tower holding hostages. He hovers in front of the girl's cage. "I see you're growing accustomed to the place. Who wouldn't when they're about to spend eternity in a cage dangling several meters in the air?"

"Why did you imprison me here? I have nothing to do with--!"

"Filthy lies."he slams his fist on the cage making it squeal bolts, and rust dust out of it. It swings around with the girl squealing for it to stop. Iron grabs the bars and pulls the cage close to him,"Is it accustomed for a Northwest to lie?"he sneers as she holds a deadly grip on the bars.

     Iron out of nowhere smiles,"But it won't matter anymore because I've been assigned to bring forth their heads on a silver platter for the lord."he let's go.

"Ahh!"she yelps as the cage slowly swings.

"While I'm gone just hope that the cage doesn't break. A lot of people fall to death, and don't have to wait years to die. Honestly it's better this way~"

"W-Who- what do you mean their?"Pacifica ask with tears in her eyes.

"Haven't you heard?"Iron flashes a smug smile,"I thought Northwest always knew the gossip, but unfortunately not~ I've been assigned to take care of that demon, the 'Ice Prince', and the so-called 'Prince of the Unknown." Iron looks up at the non-existent roof.

"Wait! What did you do to Peppermint Butler?!"Pacifica glares.

"Oh him? I couldn't just let him wander around while you were captured. Besides the lord wanted something new to eat since yesterday. So I asked the kitchen staff to produce something special for the lord. Our king ate cookies today, but I guess I'm sorry to report to you of another poor animal who wandered off into the lord's food.." Iron shifts his faces between sinister then concerned then happy then suddenly he pouts.

     Pacifica's eyes widen in horror, she claps her hands over her mouth shaking her head in denial. "No..."

    Iron's eye glows suddenly an orange glint. His honey iris mischievously lingers to every part of her facial features. His shark-tooth, sly smile extends all the way to his ears. "Isn't it delightful? The lord finally got to eat a new topping off the menu, but you know what?"

    Pacifica was death scared. Her bones creak in tension at if any sudden movement the cage would fall or worse, Iron would snap her neck. Pacifica wasn't ready to see her parents in hell. Her body trembles.

     Iron tosses a blue piece of ripped cloth. The color allures Pacifica to take it quickly. She smells the fabric. Peppermint~ Pacifica drowns is sorrow. The loss is too great. Peppermint butler had taken care of her since her parents died in Gravity Falls by being turned to stone. Pacifica had managed to escape and wander around Bill Cipher's palace. When Time Baby invaded the place to capture the demon he captured the rest of the human survivors and turned them into slaves. Peppermint Butler took her under his cloak and protected her when she was assigned to assist him in helping the general. The same general standing before her. For over a decade he helped her. You can't age in this realm, but your soul can. Peppermint Butler...your the father I wished I had. "NO!"She wails.

     The general smiles at her with deep passion for her salty tears,"No need to cry over a simple candy cane character. Instead feel proud that you've survived! Thrive for your ability to lie, and lose another one of the closest people to you."

     That's right, Soos. The caring lovable human man who cared as a friend for Mable and Dipper Pines survived as well the Gravity Falls mishap. Despite her being a selfish rich girl back then the man-baby cared for her. He helped her escape the death of her parents and aided her when she wandered as a servant of Bill Cipher. He's dead too--everyone I know is.

     This makes her swallowing wails louder. Iron chuckles as he hovers down from her cage,"I won't be gone for long princess~."

"NOOO!"

In the Unknown

🥀. 

        In the dark forest the weather had calmed down to a foggy mess. Crows squawk while the perch on the twisting branches of the barren trees. The wind has simmered dow to a simple breeze.

"AHHH!" Out of nowhere in the distance a little girl's cry wakes up the sleeping animals to spread into the air in fright. "WHAT THE ****!"

"SHUT UP!"a manlier voice shouts over the high pitched one.

      Jumping a wooden fence in a green valley three teens sprint for their lives into the forest while a pack of chickens and goats chase them along with a crowd of angry villagers wielding pitchforks and torches.

"H-Holy S***!"the blonde boy trips over a log, and grabs quickly the tall boy's cloak. He's dragged away.

"Hey!"Wirt looks back to still see the group of angry animals follow them.

"How is everyone faster then us when we run?"Bill shouts puffing air. His body clearly not fit for the physical work out. Stupid Pinetree! "You know what? If you want your body so bad then take it Pinetree!"he leaps to grab one fo Wirt's antlers.

"AH-What are you doing?!"Wirt leans to one side dramatically from all the pressure on his head. He turns abruptly losing a couple of the animals behind him.

     Finn tugs back on the tall gnomes cape. Wirt slows down as his collar choked his throat, he tugs it down bringing Finn forward again. Sticks and stones graze his stomach painfully. Bill keeps dangling, wrapping his legs around the Lantern Barrer's antler. His boot strikes Wirt's glowing eye. "AH!" Not watching where to go, Wirt slips on the side of a dark valley in the middle of the woods. His boot slides along with himself from the weight down the cavern of darkness. The three of them howl out fear as they plummet down.

      The villagers confused stop with their attack as they come across a large canyon filled in a black abyss.
