Prologue: The War Between Wizards and Demons

On the island kingdom of Stellari Kombar (Which means Wizard Kingdom) where wizards and witches roam, it was dark and it was raining. Explosions happened everywhere on the island of wizards and witches. Even worse, there was a war happening there. On the island, many wizards and witched were fighting for their lives. And some were even running away. Meanwhile, a cream colored unicorn with a pink mane and bright green eyes was running for her life. She ran as fast as she could from that something that was chasing her. She then reached a dead end as she turned and saw the creature that saw chasing her. A glowing yellow triangle with limbs and an eye wearing armor holding a spear.

The unicorn backed up. "Someone help me!"

The creature was about to attack the unicorn, but a bright yellow unicorn with a red mane with two streaks with two shades of purple and purple eyes wearing glasses, silver armor and a purple crystal on her chest plate named Moondancer jumped in front of the creature and blasted a beam of magic from her horn at the creature.

The scared unicorn smiled. "Moondancer!"

Moondancer turned to the unicorn. "Twinkleshine, get to the castle. You'll be safe there."

The unicorn known as Twinkleshine nodded and ran straight for the castle.

Meanwhile, a gray Squid Pony with a black mane and purple eyes and a white Squidicorn with a mane with two shades of blue and magenta eyes were finding a way to the castle.

The Squid Pony turned to the Squidicorn. "Vinyl, if we die tonight, will you find me in the afterlife?"

The Squidicorn nodded yes as she saw one of the triangular creatures holding a bucket of water. The Squid Pony turned to what the Squidicorn was looking at and hugged her friend. But they didn't feel the water splash on them. They both open their eyes seeing a 12-year old girl with long blonde hair wearing a white dress, a blue gem, purple eye shadow, a purple cloak, white gloves, and silver boots named Pacifica Northwest blocking the water with magic and splashed it at the creature.

The little witch turned to the Squid Ponies. "Follow me. I'll take you both to the castle."

Meanwhile, many wizards and witches were running to the castle following an orange creature wearing a green cloak, a yellow gem and blue shoes named Wander and a red gumball machine with limbs wearing a black cloak and a red gem named Benson.

"Don't worry, everyone." Benson said. "The castle is up ahead!"

Wander turned his head and saw a giant triangular creature that looked like his minions. He then turns to Benson. "Benson! He's gaining on us! I'm too pretty to die!"

'I wonder what the three are doing in the castle.' Benson thought.

Meanwhile, a blue cat wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, gray pants, a blue gem, and a bright yellow cloak named Gumball Watterson was sitting next to a gray earth filly with a gray and silver mane and purple eyes wearing platinum blue glasses, a purple gem, and a blue cloak named Silver Spoon.

"What are we going to do, Silver Spoon?" Gumball asked. "Bill's going to get us any second by now. Just look at us! We're just kids!"

"I know, Gumball!" Silver Spoon replied. "I knew this day would come! My visions never lie! And plus, I'm all out of options!"

Gumball turned to an android with silver hair and green eyes wearing a purple dress, blue flats, and a bright purple cloak staring outside a window. "Ms. Pixal, we're all out of ideas! What do we do?!"

Pixal turned to Gumball. "I don't know. We all knew this day would come. I can't fight all those Cipherlings. No one can."

Suddenly, a yellow unicorn with a mane with two shades of blue and magenta eyes went into the room.

Gumball turned and saw the unicorn. "Lemon Hearts!"

"All of you get downstairs!" Lemon Hearts said. "Bill's going to get you here!"

Pixal and her students ran downstairs with Lemon Hearts following them. Meanwhile, all the wizards and witches were downstairs in the throne room. The trio ran to the four wizards that brought the citizens to the castle.

Pacifica turned to the citizens. "There's too many Cipherlings. We can't destroy them all."

Everyone in the castle felt a rumble under the castle.

"We can't be in this war forever." Benson added. "And only one can imprison Bill." He turns to Pixal. "Pixal, only you and your students can find the most powerful wizard of all."

"The Pine Tree?" Pixal asked.

"Yes." Benson answered taking out a blue crystal shaped as a pine tree. "Take this crystal. The Pine Tree is the only option we have to end this war."

"How will I find him or her?" Pixal asked.

"The crystal will guide you." Moondancer answered.

Pixal nodded and took the crystal out of Benson's hands.

Wander turned and saw many Cipherlings banging on the windows. "Guys! They're trying to break in!"

The citizens saw the Cipherlings trying to break the windows.

Benson turned back to Pixal. "You have to get out of here!"

"What about you and the others?" Silver Spoon asked.

Benson knelt down to Silver Spoon. "Don't worry about us. We'll be just fine. Even when we turn to stone, only the Pine Tree will set us free from this cruel war."

"Silver Spoon, we have to go!" Gumball added.

Silver Spoon ran to the others to find a way off the island.

Meanhwile, Bill was watching his Cipherlings trying to break the windows. "Come on! I'm starting to get impatient!" He turned and saw Pixal and her students running to the docks. "That's it. Run from this island and never come back."

Pixal and her students went on a boat and started sailing away.

"Goodbye, Stellari Kombar." Silver Spoon said. "We'll meet again if possible." She then saw the one part of the castle explode.

Gumball sat on a barrel. "I can't believe that the rulers of our home relied on us. I don't know what's going to happen to them once they have turned into stone."

"The Pine Tree is our only hope." Pixal replied. "And we have to find him or her." She saw the crystal glow. "The crystal. It's telling us that he or she is at the Mainland."

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Gumball asked with a smile. "To the Mainland!"

Days passed, and Pixal and her students were at the docks of the Mainland. They even got an apartment and Silver Spoon and Gumball were attended to the Wonderbolts Academy.

Silver Spoon sighed as she got a vision. In her vision, the castle of Stellari Kombar is in ruins. All the citizens were in Bill's bubble and the rulers were turned to stone. Her vision ended, but Silver Spoon shook her head telling herself to forget what she and the others experienced. She let out another sigh. "Welcome to the Mainland."

Author's Note

What will happen to Silver Spoon and Gumball? Who will they meet?

Find out on the first chapter of Age of Wizardry!

Chapter 1: A New Life In A New Place

The Elements of Harmony and their friends were having the time of their lives in the Mainland after they have defeated Plankton. Rainbow Dash was now able to come back to her reputation as a soldier and now was protecting the castle. Rarity was now aware of thieves that try to break into the castle with Mabel and her sister Sweetie Belle, now one of her apprentices, by her side. Applejack and Sandy were now one of the castle guards hired by King Meep. Fluttershy was now taking care of the castle animals and worked as the castle nurse also hired by King Meep. Pinkie Pie was now the castle guardian (Since she's a Squid Pony in this story) just in case if anyone outsmarts Rarity. And Twilight Sparkle was now crowned Princess of Friendship ever since she wields the medallion that gave her and her friends the answers to stop Plankton from getting his reign. And the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally got their Cutie Marks.

Today, Twilight's big brother, Shining Armor, and Princess Cadance just got married. There was a big party that had lots of food, games, and entertainment. The Elements and their friends (But Squidward) were at a table talking to each other.

"And then I was like 'Maud, save the cake for the citizens! They want some too!'." Jay said seeing his friends laugh.

"Let me guess." Rainbow added. "It was her birthday?"

"Of course it was her birthday." Pinkie replied. "Jay's not one with the Squid Ponies for nothing. That's why everyone in my town loves him so much. He's the greatest friend ever!"

Spongebob popped up between Kai and Rarity holding five cake pops in both his hands with his face covered in icing. "Haven't you guys tried the cake pops?" He asked with his mouth full. "They are the best item I've ever tasted!" He then swallowed. "I have never tried something so sweet in my entire life!"

"I have never been to a wedding before since I lived in a cave my whole life." Patrick added.

"And if it weren't for you guys, Plankton would've got his reign." Spike said.

"At least he learned his lesson." Bloo replied. "Too bad he's now in a lifetime imprisonment."

Kai laughed. "Well, now I'm not getting those creepy dreams anymore. Twilight was right all along. She's always right."

"We're not friends for nothing." Twilight said.

Everyone laughed.

"Too bad Dipper's not here for the wedding." Mabel added. "I know he got attended to the Wonderbolts Academy." She let out a sigh. "I wonder how he's doing without me."

"Maybe he's doing okay." Cole replied. "Today is his first day."

Fluttershy turned to the stage. "Guys! It's starting!"

The rest turned to the stage and saw a gray pegasus with a gold mane and gold eyes with one of them looking up walk off the stage as King Meep walks up.

"Thank you, Derpy for singing the Mainland anthem." King Meep said turning to the audience. "Anyway, our next act will be the best clarinet player in all of Toonera. Please welcome Squidward Tentacles!"

Squidward walked up the stage wearing a black suit with a red bow tie. "Thank you. As a gift for Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, I will play 'The Magic Inside' by Countess Coloratura. It's my favorite song by the way."

Everyone in the audience laughed as Squidward started to play his clarinet. Everyone started covering their ears.

Squidward stopped playing his clarinet and looked at the side. "Sorry everyone. I left it on the battle setting." He turned his clarinet to the music setting and played his clarinet again.

Everyone stopped covering their ears and listened to the music.

"That's just beautiful." Fluttershy said.

Rainbow turned and saw Lloyd in tears of joy. "Are you crying?"

"No. I'm sweating through my eyes." Lloyd said in his shaky voice.

'He's crying.' Rainbow thought.

"I wonder how Dipper is doing by himself." Mabel told herself.

Meanwhile, Dipper was in a carriage wearing a clean white shirt, gray pants, black shoes, and a brown cloak. He was on his way to the Wonderbolts Academy with a grayish blue earth pony with a mane with three shades of blue and teal eyes named Coloratura riding with him. (Just to let you know, in this story, Rara's both a singer and a fighter)

Coloratura saw the look on Dipper's face. "Feeling nervous?"

"A little." Dipper said. "I mean, I heard a lot about the Wonderbolts Academy, but I'm not sure I might fit in."

"Dipper, you're totally going to fit in once you make new friends." Coloratura replied. "King Meep told me to be your mentor for a reason. To watch over you. You see, when I was your age, I had a passion for music. Then I realized I also had a talent for combat. So I combined my two loves and became the greatest fighting singer of all of Toonera."

Dipper sighed. "I just can't believe I have to miss the wedding just to get to combat school. I wonder how Mabel's doing without me."

Coloratura wrapped her arm around Dipper. "I believe she's doing fine." She turned and saw a giant building. "I believe we're here."

Dipper looked out the window and saw a giant brick building with lots of windows next to a field, had a fountain in the front, and large trees.

After the carriage arrived, Dipper and Coloratura walked out and saw the carriage leave.

"Well, here we are." Coloratura said. "The Wonderbolts Academy."

Dipper was in awe. "This place is amazing. Even that fountain is amazing."

"Well, I'm going to take a walk around the school." Coloratura added. "You're going to be okay while I'm gone?"

"Trust me, Rara." Dipper replied. "I'm going to be fine."

Coloratura smiled and walked away.

Dipper turned to the school. "Alright Dipper, this is your big chance to be the hero." He was about to walk to the school, but he heard running from behind. He turned and saw a stampede of students running to the school. The students ran pass Dipper as he started walking backwards and fell down on many luggages.

"What do you think you're doing?!" A voice yelled.

Dipper rubbed his head and opened his eyes seeing a pink earth filly with a purple and white mane and blue eyes wearing a tiara on her head and blue slippers on each of her hooves. Dipper got up on his feet and picked up one of the luggages.

The filly snatched the luggage. "Are you trying to sabotage me while I was on my way here?!"

"Look. I'm sorry about what I did." Dipper said.

"Sorry?!" The filly yelled. "Sorry is not going to help you! What are you? Braindead?"

Dipper wore a shocked face. "What?"

"You heard me. Braindead!" The filly yelled opening her luggage taking out a bottle of red dust and accidentally dropped it.

Dipper picked up the bottle of dust. "What's this?" He asked.

"Diamond Dust." The filly answered. "Made by the freshest diamonds underground and enchanted by powerful wizards. They come in many elements. Earth. Fire. Ice. Lightning. Wind. Energy!"

Dipper opened the bottle. "I wonder what happens when you smell it."

The filly turned and saw Dipper smelling the dust. "No! Don't sniff it!"

Dipper closed the bottle and felt an uncomfortable sensation in his nose. "Ah....ah....ahh...." Dipper sneezed with red smoke flying everywhere.

The filly snatched the bottle and threw it into her luggage. "That's what happens when you smell Diamond Dust!"

"Look, princess, I'm so sorry!" Dipper said.

"I think you mean heiress." A voice replied.

Dipper turned and saw Coloratura. "Rara! How much did you hear?"

"All of it." Coloratura said. "You're talking to Diamond Tiara. Daughter of Filthy and Spoiled Rich and heiress of the Diamond Dust Company."

"Finally, at least someone knows who I am." Diamond Tiara added. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm new to this school." Dipper said.

Diamond Tiara crossed her arms. "Listen. This isn't your ordinary combat school. This is the place where students get to chase their dreams." She then started walking away. "And just to let you know, there's no going back."

Coloratura placed her hoof on Dipper's shoulder. "She can be irritable sometimes."

After that, Dipper was now at the field surrounded by students. He turned and saw a gray earth filly with a gray and silver mane and purple eyes wearing platinum blue glasses and a necklace with a purple gem next to a blue cat wearing a white shirt, gray pants, and a blue gem. "Um, hello."

The cat and filly turned to Dipper.

"Hi." The filly said. "First day?"

"First day." Dipper replied. "You guys too?"

"Yes. Our first day." The cat said.

Dipper smiled. "I'm Dipper."

"Silver Spoon." The filly said as she pointed to the blue cat. "And this is Gumball."

Suddenly, a yellow pegasus with a messy mane with two shades of orange and orange eyes named Spitfire flew in front of the students. Then she walked up to them. "Welcome to your first day of the Wonderbolts Academy. I don't want no messing around in this school. Last group thought it would be funny to stuff a dozen ears of corn into a cannon! And you want to know what happened?!"

Dipper raised his hand.

Spitfire noticed Dipper's hand. "What happened?"

"They were asked to leave politely?" Dipper said.

"That's right." Spitfire replied. "And it was awkward for everyone!" She flew to Gumball. "Alright, Kitty, what's your name?"

"Uh, Gumball Watterson." Gumball said.

"And what's your dream?" Spitfire asked.

"To protect others that can't protect themselves." Gumball answered.

Spitfire smiled. "You have made a great choice coming here to chase your dreams." She then flew to Diamond Tiara. "What about you, princess? What's your goal?"

Diamond Tiara laughed. "I'm Diamond Tiara. Heiress of the Diamond Dust Company. And when I graduate from this school, I'll be the greatest huntress of all of Toonera."

"Your parents seem to have made a good choice sending you here." Spitfire said.

"Thank you so much." Diamond Tiara replied.

Spitfire then flew to Silver Spoon. "What about you? What do you want to do?"

"I'm planning to be a soldier that travels around the world." Silver Spoon said.

Spitfire smiled. After she talked to all the students, she flew away from the students and landed in front of them. "Alright, now that I know what you want to do, you all have to be a group of four to get to your dorms. Now all of you find someone you're interested in and meet up with him or her!"

All the students started looking for roommates.

Dipper turned to Silver Spoon and Gumball. "You guys want you be my roommates?"

"Sure." Gumball said.

"Would I?!" Silver Spoon exclaimed.

Dipper smiled as he turned and saw Spitfire. "Ms. Spitfire!"

"Dipper Pines, you made an excellent roommate choice." Spitfire said. "You see, Silver Spoon and Gumball are both friends and they live with their mentor. Speaking of mentor, I'm letting your mentor take a place in your dorms."

"Really?" Dipper asked with a smile.

"Yes." Spitfire replied. "And I'm letting their mentor also take a place in your dorms. I talked to her, and she accepted."

Dipper smiled and turned to Silver Spoon and Gumball. That night, Dipper was in his room with his new friends, who were unpacking their things.

"This is going to be great!" Silver Spoon exclaimed with a smile. "I can't believe our mentors our sleeping in our room!"

"So, what is your mentor like?" Dipper asked.

"She's the greatest mentor we ever had." Gumball explained. "Cool, loyal, brave, kind, awesome, you name it."

Dipper turned seeing Coloratura come in the room with an android with silver hair and green eyes wearing a purple dress, blue flats, a necklace with a purple gem, and a white coat.

Coloratura turned to Dipper. "Hey, Dipper." She then turned to Silver Spoon and Gumball. "It's a pleasure to meet you two. I'm Dipper's mentor, Coloratura. But call me Rara if you wish to. Everyone does."

Silver Spoon smiled and walked to Dipper. "Dipper, this is our mentor, Pixal. She's the coolest combat expert of all of Toonera. And the most popular to have as a mentor."

Dipper laughed and shook Pixal's hand. "It is a pleasure to meet you. Silver Spoon and Gumball told me a lot about you."

"I am pleased to meet you, Dipper Pines." Pixal said.

"Now that we got to know each other, who wants to listen to a few of my songs before bed?" Coloratura asked.

The rest cheered in agreement. After all the entertainment, everyone was in bed fast asleep. All except Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Pixal.

Silver Spoon looked down at Pixal, who was in a sleeping bag on the floor. "Ms. Pixal, are you awake?"

"I'm awake." Pixal said.

"Gumball?" Silver Spoon asked.

"I can't seem to sleep." Gumball added.

"It's just ever since we came here to find the most powerful wizard, I was starting to miss home." Silver Spoon said. "I know the Pine Tree is the most powerful and he or she is the only option we have to stop the war, but leaving everything behind is so hard."

Gumball sighed "I know, Silver Spoon. But we can't fight Bill. He's too powerful, we're just kids, and Ms. Pixal's not strong enough to fight all his Cipherlings. We're just here for the only option we have."

Silver Spoon turns to Pixal. "Ms. Pixal, can you tell us more about the Pine Tree?"

Pixal sat up. "Every wizard or witch says that the Pine Tree's jewel was found in a dark cave. They even say that the Pine Tree's jewel was found by Starswirl the Bearded and was given to a mare name Clover the Clever, the first Pine Tree. Clover says that the Pine Tree is the most powerful wizard of all to control the power of the Elements of Harmony. Honesty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, and the one that binds them together, Magic. She even said that the Pine Tree can control the most important magic of all, the Magic of Friendship. The jewel was passed on from every powerful wizard or witch to another." She takes out the blue tree-shaped crystal. "And it's power is passed on from one another. And only the jewel can find it's new wielder." She then saw the jewel glow brighter. Pixal turned to her right and saw a blue aura around the sleeping Dipper.

Silver Spoon and Gumball saw it as well.

"Could the Pine Tree be Dipper?" Gumball asked.

"Only one way to find out." Pixal said as she puts the gem away. "But we need rest for tomorrow."

Gumball and Silver agreed and went to sleep.

Chapter 2: The Battle Test

The next day, all the students of the Wonderbolts Academy were walking to the battle room to pass their battle test. And Dipper was excited for the test. After he got attended, Dipper was panicking about the battle test. But Mabel taught him some battle skills that Rarity taught her before Plankton was defeated. But now, Dipper felt ready for the test. After everyone went into the battle room, everyone got seated and saw Spitfire fly into the room and land on the ground.

Spitfire turned to the students. "Alright, everyone. On your battle test, you have to prove me that you're strong enough for battle. If you are, you will go to the next round of combat. If you're not, you need more practice." She takes out a clipboard. "Our first round is a tournament. You will face your rival in a fight. Whoever wins will fight another rival. Our first battle will be Dinky Doo versus Dipper Pines."

Dipper took a deep breath and walked up to the battleground.

"Good luck!" Coloratura said.

Dipper walked to one side on the ground and saw a purple unicorn filly with mane with two shades of gold and gold eyes walk to the other side of the ground. "This is going to be easy." He then saw Dinky pulled out a spear then he rolled his eyes and got out a dagger.

Spitfire pulled out a red flag and waved it down. "Fight!"

Dinky and Dipper ran up to each other and started to battle. Dipper dodged all of Dinky's attacks using the dagger to defend himself. Dinky kicked Dipper away from her, but Dipper was still standing.

Dipper ran back to Dinky and grabbed her spear fighting Dinky with it. "Having fun yet? I'm having lots of fun right now."

"Don't mock me!" Dinky yelled.

Dinky was about to punch Dipper in the face, but Dipper dodged, tripped Dinky, and held her spear. Dinky ran to Dipper, but he went out of Dinky's way, which made her slam to the wall. Dinky got her face off the wall and fell to the ground with her back first. Everyone was surprised of Dipper's actions. Spitfire was amazed.

Spitfire smiled and got out a blue flag. "Winner: Dipper Pines!"

Everyone in the audience cheered.

Spitfire turned to Dinky. "Dinky Doo, you need more practice."

Dipper walked to Dinky and helped her up.

"Thank you." Dinky said. "But once I finish practicing for next time, I'll think I'm beating you up."

Dipper turned to Spitfire and pointed his thumb at Dinky wearing a confused face seeing Spitfire shrug. Dipper shrugged and walked to the audience.

Meanwhile in the castle, Bloo and the Cutie Mark Crusaders were in the armory room. Scootaloo was fighting an armor stand with a wooden sword, Sweetie Belle was sharpening swords (She has her magic), and Bloo and Apple Bloom were polishing armor.

Bloo turned to Apple Bloom. "If you were a homeless dog surrounded by changelings, what would you do?"

"That's an easy question." Apple Bloom said. "If I was a homeless dog surrounded by changelings, I would fight for my life."

"Why's that?" Bloo asked.

"I have two reasons." Apple Bloom answered. "One: I'm not scared. And two: changelings are an abomination."

Bloo laughed. "You've made an excellent choice, my friend."

"What are you two even talking about?" Scootaloo asked.

"I just chosen to fight for my life if I was a homeless dog surrounded by changelings." Apple Bloom answered. "I have to admit, it's a great question once you say your answer."

Sweetie Belle was going to sharpen the last sword, but she heard scratching at the door. She puts the sword down and she walks to the door and opens it seeing Pinkie and Jay wearing green creepy masks that scared her. It scared the others as well.

Pinkie and Jay took off the masks and laughed.

"Not cool!" Bloo yelled.

"We're sorry." Jay laughed. "It was Pinkie's idea."

Scootaloo puts down the sword. "That was awesome. You got us good."

Pinkie shrugged. "We're not friends for nothing."

Meanwhile, Nya was sitting in the hallway looking into her Book of Memories. She looked at her favorite picture, the day when Twilight got her Cutie Mark. She closed the book and placed it on her chest. Then she turned and saw Spike.

"I see that you're looking at your so-called Book of Memories." Spike said with a sigh of delight. "If only I were like you and your friends instead of living in that dragon's room. But now that Discord is free into the wild once again, everything is back to harmony. Just like Discord is enjoying himself."

"I'm starting to like it here." Nya replied. "And if it weren't for us, we'd be dead by now. But since we're not, we all can have a chance to start anew."

"Yeah. I like it here too." Spike added. "I wonder how Dipper is doing at combat school."

"I'm a little jealous that he has a mentor that is both singer and fighter." Nya said. "But I wonder how he's doing too."

Back at the Wonderbolts Academy, many rounds were finished. Diamond Tiara was now fighting a bright yellow earth filly with a bright orange mane and purple eyes named Noi. Noi was about to throw an attack at Diamond Tiara, but Diamond Tiara blew away Noi with her Diamond Dust knocking out Noi.

Spitfire pulled out a purple flag. "Winner: Diamond Tiara!"

Diamond Tiara smiled with pride seeing Dinky pull Noi to the audience. "Who's next to compete with the heiress of the Diamond Dust Company?"

Spitfire pulled out the clipboard. "Diamond Tiara, your last rival will be Dipper Pines."

Dipper walked up to the battle stage and got out the dagger. "Show me what you got."

Diamond Tiara got out a platinum sword that runs on Diamond Dust. "Oh, I'll show you what I got." She placed a tiny bottle of red dust labeled 'Fire' and slashed fire at Dipper.

Dipper dodged the slash of fire and turned his dagger into a sword without him knowing. The audience was shocked, and Spitfire didn't care of what she saw.

Diamond Tiara was shocked. "How did you do that?!"

Dipper wore a confused face and turned to the dagger that was now a sword. He shrugged and ran to fight Diamond Tiara.

Diamond Tiara shook her head. 'It's okay, Diamond Tiara. Just pretend that didn't happen.' She thought as she ran to fight Dipper.

Pixal looked into her left coat pocket and saw the crystal glowing. "Oh no."

Gumball and Silver Spoon turned to Pixal.

"What's wrong?" Gumball whispered.

"The magic of the crystal." Pixal whispered back. "It found it's new match."

Gumball and Silver Spoon wore shocked faces.

Dipper was dodging every attack Diamond Tiara was throwing at him.

Diamond Tiara growled. "Hold still!"

Dipper ran to Diamond Tiara and kicked her down, which made her drop her sword. Diamond Tiara was about to get up, but Dipper pointed his sword at her.

Spitfire smiled and pulled out the blue flag. "Winner: Dipper Pines!"

The whole audience ran to Dipper, picked him up, and tossed him in the air several times. "Dipper! Dipper! Dipper!"

Diamond Tiara finally got up and saw Spitfire.

"Diamond Tiara," Spitfire said. "You might have lost, but DON'T give up on YOUR dreams. If you want to be a huntress, you need a bit more practice."

Diamond Tiara groaned and walked away.

Dipper came out of the crowd and walked to Coloratura.

"That was amazing!" Coloratura exclaimed. "I can't believe you've beaten the heiress of the Diamond Dust Company. How did you turn your dagger to a sword anyway?"

"I have no idea." Dipper said. "I wasn't even looking." He turned and saw Diamond Tiara walk out of the room, then he frowned. "Rara, I have to go." He ran out of the room after Diamond Tiara.

Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Pixal watched Dipper run out the room.

"Should we tell him?" Silver Spoon asked.

Pixal turned to Silver Spoon. "I don't know yet."

Meanwhile, Dipper was looking for Diamond Tiara around the school. He looked everywhere. The classrooms, the janitor's closet, the field, everywhere. Dipper was now looking for her on the balcony as he turned and saw Diamond Tiara near the fence of the balcony. He walked up to Diamond Tiara. "Look, Diamond Tiara. I'm sorry about that. I never knew wanting to be a huntress was very important to you until now. I should have let you win."

"Sorry?" Diamond Tiara asked turning to Dipper with an angry face. "You think you're sorry that I didn't pass the battle test?! Seriously?!" She walked up to Dipper. "I don't care if I lost the final round of the first phase. I will not stop trying until I reach my goal to be a huntress like my mother was! But you just humiliated me in front of the whole school!"

"Look, I didn't mean to." Dipper said. "I was only trying to make my sister-"

"Trying to make your sister proud?!" Diamond Tiara yelled. "Is that why you came to this combat school?!"

"Not just-"

"I came here because I wanted to be a huntress like my mother was! But you're keeping ME from MY goal!"

"Diamond Tiara, just-"

"I have my rights to be whatever I want!"

"Diamond-"

"And I won't stop until I get to my dream!"

"Just listen to me. I-"

"WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO A PATHETIC HUMAN LIKE YOU?!"

Dipper wore a shocked face.

"You only think about yourself and your stupid family! Just leave me alone!" Diamond Tiara yelled turning her back to Dipper.

Dipper wore an angered face and walked away.

Diamond Tiara then wore a shocked face as tears started falling off her face. "What have I done? Why would I say that?" She then started sobbing. "What kind of heiress am I?"

Meanwhile, Silver Spoon, Pixal, and Gumball were walking to their room trying to forget about what they saw.

Pixal pulled out the tree-shaped gem and saw it glowing brighter, then she puts it away.

Gumball lets out a sigh.

Silver Spoon yelled in pain and started holding her head.

Gumball and Pixal turned to Silver Spoon.

"She's having one of her visions!" Gumball said.

In Silver Spoon's vision, a yellow triangular demon with limbs and an eye wearing a top hat and a bow tie was flying to the Mainland. The vision ended as Silver Spoon opened her eyes and turned to Pixal. "He's coming!"

"Bill?" Pixal asked.

"Bill is coming right now!" Silver Spoon yelled in fear. "And he's coming for the king!"

Pixal wore a shocked face and ran to the room where she is staying with Gumball and Silver Spoon following her.

Meanwhile, Coloratura entered the room and found Dipper looking out the window seeing it rain outside. She closed the door behind her and walked up to Dipper. "I heard the argument you and Diamond Tiara had. I knew you were trying to-"

"Make it up to her that I was sorry that she didn't win?" Dipper asked angrily.

"Yes." Coloratura answered. "Everything is going to be fine. I know it will."

Dipper turned to Coloratura wearing an angered face. "After what she said to me?! She said that I only think about myself! Is that why she hates me?!"

"I don't know." Coloratura said calmly. "I don't think you care about yourself. You care about your friends. You care about Mabel. You even care about me. It's not the end of the world."

"Well to me, it is!" Dipper yelled. "Why does Diamond Tiara think I'm a threat to her dream?! Why did she yell at me after I toppled onto her luggages full of that Diamond Dust?!" He clenched his right fist making a blue glow around his hand without him knowing which shocked Coloratura. "Why won't she just forgive me already?!" He stopped clenching his fist throwing a blue orb out of his hand to a lamp. Dipper turned to the lamp and saw it shut off, then the lamp turned back on. He wore a shocked face "What the?" He turned to Coloratura, who was wearing a scared face. "Rara, what just happened?"

"Y-Y-Your hand." Coloratura said in fear. "It's glowing!"

Dipper wore a confused face as he turned to his right hand and saw a blue glow around it. He screamed in fear, then turned back to Coloratura. "Rara, what's happening to me?!"

"I don't know!" Coloratura yelled in fear.

Dipper and Coloratura heard the door slam open as they turned and saw Pixal, Gumball, and Silver Spoon at the door.

"We heard screaming!" Gumball yelled. "What going on?!" He turned and saw the glow around Dipper's hand.

Sillver Spoon and Pixal also saw the glow. "Oh no."

Chapter 3: Bill Cipher

Meanwhile, Kai was taking a walk with Mabel and Squidward through the town. They were talking about their worst fears they had in childhood.

"And that's how I got my fear of ghosts." Squidward said.

"It is because they float around the place, glow, and they're creepy?" Mabel asked.

"You can say that, Mabel." Squidward replied.

Kai heard screaming from far away. He wore a confused face as he turned around and saw lots of citizens running for their lives.

The citizens ran past Kai, Mabel, and Squidward.

"What's going on?" Kai asked.

Kai, Squidward, and Mabel turned to the sky seeing a giant yellow triangle with limbs and an eye wearing a bow tie and a top hat summoning two bubbles that released tiny versions of himself.

"What is that thing?" Mabel asked.

"I don't know!" Kai said. "I haven't seen it before!"

The triangle pulls out a picture of King Meep. "Does anyone know where the king is?"

"It's after the king!" Squidward yelled. "We have to warn the others!"

"Agreed!" Kai and Mabel said in unison.

The trio started to run to the castle not knowing that the triangle was watching them. He turned to two of his minions. "You two, follow those humans and that squid!"

Meanwhile, everyone at the Wonderbolts Academy was evacuating the school. But Dipper, Coloratura, Pixal, Silver Spoon, and Gumball were looking for Diamond Tiara. They checked the balcony where Dipper had an argument, but Diamond Tiara wasn't there.

"She's not here!" Silver Spoon said.

A thought went into Dipper's head as he ran. "I think Diamond Tiara is in the janitor's closet!"

The rest followed Dipper.

Meanwhile, Applejack and Sandy were waiting for a threat to come by. As Sandy looked in front, she saw three shadows. She got out her bow and an arrow and aimed. The three figures came closer as Sandy shot the arrow. Unfortunately, none of them got hit. But what came out of the dark was Kai, Mabel, and Squidward.

"What the heck is wrong with you?" Kai asked. "You almost killed me!"

"I thought you were one of those triangles." Sandy said looking behind Kai. "Speaking of triangles, BEHIND YOU!"

Kai turned and saw two triangles holding spears. "Run!"

Back at the Wonderbolts Academy, Dipper and the others were at the janitor's closet.

Dipper opened the door and saw Diamond Tiara sobbing in the corner. "Diamond Tiara?"

Diamond Tiara turned and saw Dipper. "What do you want?"

"Look, I'm sorry." Dipper said. "I didn't mean to humiliate you. I was only trying to be a great fighter like my sister is today."

"I'm sorry I called you a pathetic human." Diamond Tiara replied. "I got jealous that you were better than me and all those other students you faced. I was so naive to get what I wanted the most."

"Yeah, me too." Dipper added.

Diamond Tiara got up and walked out of the closet. "Why is it so quiet here?"

"Everyone is evacuating the building." Gumball said seeing a yellow triangle from far away. "And WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

The rest turned and saw what Gumball saw.

As the triangle got closer to them, Coloratura kicked it down and smashed it on the wall. She then ran from the others.

"Rara, where are you going?" Dipper asked?

"I'm going to get something of mine." Coloratura answered. "But don't worry, I know where to find you." She kept running.

Meanwhile, King Meep was being entertained by Bloo and the crusaders. They were performing a play just for him.

Sweetie Belle was playing dead with Bloo holding her pretending to cry.

"Please don't die on me!" Bloo acted. "You have so much to live for!"

Apple Bloom patted Bloo's back. "It's too late, brother. She's dead."

"NOOOOOOOO!" Bloo acted pretending to cry.

Scootaloo was holding a wooden stick pretending that it's a staff. "Ahahaha! Now that your pretty friend is out of my way, I get a chance to destroy you! The world is mine! Ahahahaha!"

The play was interrupted when the Elements and their friends came in the throne room.

Bloo and the crusaders stopped acting and turned to the Elements and their friends. (Which means Sweetie Belle stops playing dead)

"Come on!" Scootaloo said. "I was going to perform a perfect attack."

Pinkie gasped. "Are you re-enacting The Curse of The Nightmare?"

"Yes." Sweetie Belle said. "King Meep said it was his favorite play."

"Why did you interrupt a good part?" Bloo asked.

Rarity sighed. "None of you are going to believe this, but THERE IS A TRIANGLE ATTACKING THE KINGDOM!"

Spongebob got out some chalk and started drawing on the wall. King Meep got a little curious of what Spongebob was drawing. Spongebob finished drawing and what he drew was a triangle with limbs and an eye.

The crusaders gasped.

"What is that?" Bloo asked.

"I don't know." Twilight said. "None of us know."

"Dipper should be here any minute by now!" Mabel added.

Back at the Wonderbolts Academy, Coloratura was back at her dorms. She ran to her luggage as she opened it and found what she needed. "Hello, old friends."

Meanwhile, Dipper, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Pixal got out of the building.

"Can you please tell me what's going on?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"We'll explain later." Silver Spoon said.

The building exploded and everyone took cover. The explosion disappeared and the building was in shambles.

"Rara!" Dipper yelled as he fell on his knees.

"Did someone call my name?" A voice asked.

Dipper looked in front and saw Coloratura wearing a black chestplate, silver metal shoes on each of her legs, a clear black skirt, and a black helmet. And she was holding a silver sword with a blue handle. He ran to Coloratura and gave her a hug.

"We have to get to the castle." Coloratura said. She whistled as a carriage came quickly. She walked up to the carriage stallion. "Take us to the castle!"

The stallion nodded as the carriage door opened and everyone went inside. The stallion started to run straight to the castle. Dipper kept looking at the glow around his hand.

Gumball noticed Dipper staring at his hand as he grabbed his arm. "Don't stare at it! You're going to hurt your eyes!"

Diamond Tiara looked out the window and saw many triangles flying after the carriage. She turned to the stallion. "They're gaining on us! Go faster!"

"I'm going as fast as I can!" The stallion exclaimed.

"Just go faster!" Diamond Tiara yelled.

The stallion ran faster and saw the castle up ahead.

Pixal opened the window, took out a blue potion, and threw it at the triangles, which slowed them down. She then went back inside and closed the window. After they arrived at the castle, they ran all the way to the throne room seeing the Elements, their friends, the crusaders, and Bloo.

Jay noticed Diamond Tiara. "Is that Diamond Tiara? Heiress of the Diamond Dust Company?"

"How many famous people do you know?" Lloyd asked.

"Jay knows a lot." Pinkie asked.

Mabel smiled and ran to Dipper. She even noticed the glow around Dipper's hand as she grabbed it and held it in front of her. "Whys is your hand glowing?"

"I don't know." Dipper said. "It just happened to show up. I got angry because Diamond Tiara called me pathetic and I kind of shot a lamp with some blue orb that flew out of my hand."

Gumball and Silver Spoon turned and saw Kenny reading a book. "Kenny?"

Kenny puts down the book and saw Silver Spoon and Gumball as he muffled their names.

Then they walk up to each other and started cheering and hugging.

The others were confused.

"What's going on?" Pinkie asked.

"We'll explain later." Gumball said.

King Meep, The Elements, their friends, Coloratura, Diamond Tiara, the crusaders, Bloo, Gumball, Pixal, and Silver Spoon turned seeing the window shatter and the triangle come inside.

The triangle turned to the king. "Well, King Meep, congratulations! You just won a free ticket to my grasp!" He then turns to Pixal. "Well, if it isn't Pixal and her two proteges. Long time, no see. Are your students strong enough to stop me now? Or are you looking for the great and powerful Pine Tree?"

"Say what you want, Bill!" Pixal yelled. "If you want the king," A purple aura glowed around her hands. "You have to try!" She shot a purple orb at the triangle known as Bill, but Bill grabbed the orb and crushed it in pieces.

"I guess you're not that strong after all." Bill said pushing everyone but the king to the wall with a spell. He turned to Diamond Tiara as he stretched his arm and got her into his grasp. "Heiress of the Diamond Dust Company? No thanks. You're too valuable." He throws Diamond Tiara to one side of the throne room as he gets in, fixes the window, and shoots the king with magic, putting him inside a bubble. "I guess my work here is done." He snaps his fingers making all of his minions disappeared.

Pixal runs up to Bill. "Bill! You have to stop this!"

"No thanks." Bill said. "I already got what I wanted."

The Elements get off the wall with the others following them. Twilight blasted a beam of magic at Bill, but Bill didn't feel anything. Dipper walks up to Bill lifting his glowing hand letting out a beam of blue energy which hit his eye, making him yell in pain and hold his eye.

Bill weakly opened his eye and blinked rapidly. "Alright, no more play. So are any of you thirsty?"

Patrick raised his hand, but Zane grabbed his hand and puts it down.

Bill pulls out a blue potion and drops it on the Elements, crusaders, their friends, Bloo, Gumball, Silver Spoon, Pixal, and Coloratura. "Oops. I dropped it."

The bottle smashes and everyone but Diamond Tiara (She was knocked out leaning on the wall) started to slow down.

"What was that for?" Patrick asked in slow motion.

Bill started to float out of the throne room with our heroes chasing him in slow motion.

"You big meanie!" Pinkie yelled in slow motion.

"Get back here!" Gumball yelled in slow motion.

"He's getting away with the king!" Squidward said in slow motion.

Bill went out of the throne room and closed the doors.

"Give him back!" Dipper yelled in slow motion seeing the doors close completely in front of them.

Kai grabbed the knob in slow motion and found it locked. "It's locked!"

Mabel feel to her knees in slow motion. "NOOOOOO!"

Bill now went out of the castle carrying King Meep in his bubble. "Well, your majesty, your trip is about to start. So please keep arms, legs, and crowns inside the bubble at all times." He started flying away from the Mainland.

How will Pixal explain why they were in the Mainland? Will Diamond Tiara finally wake up. Will our heroes get out of Bill's Slowness Potion? :twilightangry2:

Chapter 4: We Are Wizards

Diamond Tiara opened her eyes and rubbed her head. "What happened?" She finds her tiara on the ground as she picks it up and placed it on her head. As she turned to the others, she saw them near the door in slow motion.

Patrick was pounding slowly on the doors. "I want out!"

Kenny muffled in slow motion trying to break the windows with his magic.

"Open!" Cole yelled in slow motion trying to break the door down.

Diamond Tiara was freaking out. She found a smashed bottle on the ground as she ran to it. "What kind of potion did that thing splash you guys with?" She turned the bottle around and saw it labeled 'Slowness'. On the bottom of the label, it said 'Lasts for 10 hours. Removes with water'. "I just need some water to splash you guys with." She turned around and saw a big bucket of water. She ran to the big bucket and pushed it down spilling the water all over the others.

"Huh?" Patrick asked walking backwards in slow motion as he tripped on the bottle and fell over to Diamond Tiara.

Diamond Tiara turned and saw Patrick about to fall on her. The others turned and saw Patrick falling on Diamond Tiara.

"Watch out!" Bloo warned in slow motion.

"Diamond Tiara!" Jay yelled in slow motion, then went back to normal. "Get out of the way!"

Diamond Tiara went out of the way as Patrick slammed on the wall back first.

Everyone was now shocked.

"Wow." Coloratura said. "That was weird."

"Did someone say something?" Mabel asked wearing a confused face.

"I can't believe my eyes." Lloyd added. "That thing took the king."

"What was that?" Spongebob asked.

"I have no idea." Rainbow said. "But once I get my hooves on that thing, I'm going to crush him!"

Pixal turned to her proteges, who nodded at her to tell the truth. She then turned to the others. "That 'what' is a 'who'."

The others turn to Pixal.

"What to you mean?" Twilight asked.

"Bill Cipher." Pixal explained. "A dangerous demon who plots to destroy all wizards and witches. Our kind was in a war with him and his Cipherlings for years. And none of the other wizards and witches were strong enough to destroy him. But legend says that only one wizard can stop the war."

"What are you talking about?" Coloratura asked.

"My students and I are actually wizards from the island kingdom of Stellari Kombar." Pixal said." Or Wizard Kingdom. The kingdom was guarded by four brave wizards, Moondancer, Pacifica Northwest, Wander, and the leader, Benson. They were also the rulers of Stellari Kombar. That's when Bill and his Cipherlings attacked. So the rulers sent us on a quest to find the most powerful wizard of all. The Pine Tree."

"What's the Pine Tree?" Apple Bloom asked.

Kenny muffled the answer.

"Kenny said the Pine Tree is the most powerful wizard of all of Toonera that can control the power of the Elements of Harmony." Silver Spoon translated. "The Pine Tree's crystal was passed on from one wizard or witch to another for many years. And only the crystal can find it's new match."

"What crystal?" Cole asked.

Pixal got out the blue tree-shaped gem. "This crystal."

"Bleh. Magic gem." Spongebob said. (Since he's a Sponge Bat in this story)

"Kenny, how do you know what the Pine Tree is?" Mabel asked.

"Kenny was once one of Pixal's proteges before he met us." Fluttershy answered. "Until he and the others were being chased by changelings and he got blasted off the flying ship and fell into a river."

Silver Spoon smiled. "Gumball, Kenny, and I were great friends at Starswirl's School for Wizards and Witches. Kenny was the greatest friend we had. Kind, amazing, he was even popular. And he was the most powerful wizard of the school, we thought he was the Pine Tree. But we stood corrected told that he wasn't, but Kenny didn't care. One day when we were on a field trip with Ms. Pixal, we were being attacked by changelings. Then we lost Kenny when he got blasted off the ship. When we came back from our trip, everyone thought that Kenny was dead. They even mourned for him. But now that we found him, we're so happy."

Kenny turned to Gumball and muffled a question.

"It's all a blur," Gumball said. "But we might find the answer once we get to Stellari Kombar. Bill got every wizard and witch on that island. He even turned to rulers into stone."

Kenny wore a shocked face.

"And only the Pine Tree can set them free."

Pixal turned to Dipper as she saw the crystal glow brighter. The others saw it glowing as well.

"What's going on with it?" Rarity asked.

"The crystal found it's new wielder!" Pixal answered seeing the crystal fly out of her hands.

The crystal flew to Dipper and floated onto Dipper's neck making the glow around his hand fade.

Dipper looked at his hand. "I don't understand. Why did the crystal choose me?"

Kenny muffled explaining why the crystal chose Dipper.

"Kenny said that you have the blood of a wizard." Silver Spoon translated. "Which explains why your dagger turned into a sword, why a blue orb flew from your hand to a lamp, and why your hand was glowing."

"But I'm not that strong." Dipper said. "If I'm the next Pine Tree, why did I not know this until now?"

Gumball shrugged. "Listen, the Pine Tree existed for years. You see, the gem was found in a cave by a unicorn name Starswirl the Bearded and was given to another unicorn named Clover the Clever, the first Pine Tree. Then it was passed on to Benson, who chose friendship and teamwork over the world, then the jewel was passed on to Moondancer, who taught children the true meaning of friendship, then passed on to Wander, who made everyone smile with the gift of song, and was passed on to Pacifica, who gave the poor what they needed. Which created Stellari Kombar and made those four the rulers. That's when the rulers found out that the jewel was connected to six gems called the Elements of Harmony."

"We know what they are." Rainbow said.

"I heard of them before I met all of you." Diamond Tiara added.

"As I was saying," Gumball continued. "The Pine Tree is the only way to stop this war and the only way to stop Bill from putting wizards and witches into extinction. And without the Pine Tree, we'll never exist anymore."

The others gasped.

"Those poor wizards out there." Fluttershy added. "Being kept in a bubble of one of the worst demons alive."

"We have to go out there!" Kai demanded.

"Yes, we do." Silver Spoon replied. "But how do we get out of here?"

"I got it!" Pinkie said as she squirted ink at the doors, turned into a squid, and squeezed through the doors.

The others heard the doors unlock and saw it open.

"Problem solved!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"And that, my friends, is the greatest pony hybrid that knows how to escape." Jay said.

The Elements, their friends, the crusaders, Bloo, Diamond Tiara, Coloratura, and the wizards walked out of the castle and saw the citizens wearing sad faces. They turned and saw Lyra Heartstrings (The Squidcorn) sitting in a wagon.

"Lyra!" Kai said running to Lyra. "Lyra, what happened to the king?"

"That triangle took him." Lyra replied. "And without the king, we don't know who will take care of us."

Bloo and the crusaders walked up to Kai. "We can't come with you guys. It's too dangerous for us."

"But none of you are afraid of a challenge." Kai said.

"We know, but still." Scootaloo added. "This mission is only for you guys. We can't go on a mission that dangerous."

"We'll take care of everyone here until you come back with the king." Sweetie Belle said.

Kai nodded. "Okay."

Twilight turned to everyone. "We leave Bloo and the crusaders in charge."

They then started walking to the docks.

"Come back in one piece." Apple Bloom told Applejack.

Applejack held her sister's hooves. "We'll be okay."

After they arrived at the docks and got a boat, their journey came off with a devastating start.

"How do we start?" Dipper asked.

"We need you to practice your magic." Pixal answered.

"And where do we go to practice?" Dipper asked.

"On our field trip, we went to Fishtopia to practice our magic." Gumball added.

"Fishtopia?" The others asked in unison.

"That's right." Gumball said. "Fishtopia."

Author's Note

What is Fishtopia like? Who taught Gumball and Silver Spoon to practice their magic?

Find out on the next chapter of Age of Wizardry!

Chapter 5: Fishtopia

It has been a devastating time for the travelers. Being followed by Cipherlings without knowing, getting hit by a Slowness Potion, and leaving Bloo and the crusaders behind because they said the journey was too dangerous for them. Kai was glad that he stopped getting those dreams of his he had since childhood, but he's wishing that he won't get them again because of what he saw. Twilight's experience with Bill was more frightening than the time she lost her parents. And Mabel was just shocked that Bill took King Meep away making the citizens sad.

The travelers were on the sea for days, and they haven't arrived at Fishtopia yet.

Spike was sitting next to Nya trying to forget of his experience with Bill.

Nya turned to Spike seeing the expression on his face. "You okay?"

"I just can't believe Bill took the king." Spike said in a worried tone. "What's the Mainland without a king?"

Nya patted Spike's back. "Spike, everything is going to be okay. We're all going to be okay once we get the king back to the Mainland."

"But what does Bill want with the king?" Spike asked.

"I don't know." Nya replied. "But we have to do this for the Mainland. Just like Kai, Twilight, and I went on a quest to find the Elements of Harmony for Celestia and Luna."

"I just don't want anything to happen to the king." Spike said.

"We all don't." Nya added.

Pinkie was playing a harmonica, which was bothering Cole.

"Will you stop that?!" Cole yelled.

Pinkie sighed and puts the harmonica in her mane.

Dipper turned to Silver Spoon. "So, why are we going to Fishtopia?"

"There is a wizard over there that helped me and Gumball with our magic." Silver Spoon said. "His name is Cheese Sandwich. He is the king of Fishtopia and makes his slaves do what he wants them to do."

"What is Fishtopia like?" Dipper asked.

"The citizens there are out of control." Gumball answered. "You'll understand what it's like over there once we get there."

Hours have passed, and the travelers finally reached Fishtopia. But they only reached the forest of the island.

"How long will we be at the town?" Patrick asked.

"It's not that far." Silver Spoon said. "The town is two minutes away. Trust me."

As they kept walking, they heard explosions from far away.

"Are they in some other war?" Rainbow asked.

"With each other, yes." Gumball answered. "The citizens have one objective, and that objective is to steal each other's stuff. And who ever gets a lot of stuff gets money from the king."

"That makes sense." Squidward added.

Two minutes passed, and the travelers finally got out of the forest. They noticed that the town was chaos. They walked into the town and saw all the rubble that was on the ground. Twilight turned and saw a giant shrimp wearing a black mask holding TNT running up to her. She wore a shocked face as she lit up her horn and teleported with others. The travelers appeared in a plaza full of many fish running around chasing each other with TNT.

"So that's why they call this place Fishtopia." Fluttershy said.

"That's right." Gumball replied. "And just like I said. Out of control."

Dipper grabbed the tree-shaped crystal seeing it glow brighter. "Um, guys? Why is this crystal glowing so bright?"

"It means we came to the right place to help you with your magic." Pixal said. "Cheese Sandwich could be anywhere."

Dipper then used his crystal to find Cheese Sandwich. He followed the glow and found the crystal telling him that Cheese Sandwich was in a tower. "I found him! Well, mostly the crystal found him!"

The others turned and saw the tower.

"We have to go up there!" Mabel suggested.

As they started walking, they heard a thud behind them. They turned around and saw a female fish with red hair tied to a bun wearing a pink shirt, a blue headband, and black gloves.

The fish turned to the travelers. "Hey, strangers. I have got myself lots of loot I got from robbing a house. And I noticed that crystal thing you have. And I have a question. What's with it?"

"It's none of your business, okay?" Dipper said. "We're just looking around the place."

"Uh huh..." The fish said suspiciously.

"What's going on here?" A voice asked.

The travelers looked up seeing many fish in several genders and colors.

"Bea has found, like, a crystal thing that can help us find Cheese Sandwich." The pink fish wearing a black leather jacket, blue eye shadow, and a white headband said.

"It's nothing, okay?" Kai scolded. "Just leave us alone!"

"We'll leave you alone." The clear green fish wearing a brown vest said. "If you give us that crystal."

Dipper gripped the crystal tightly. "Why should we? You guys are looking for Cheese Sandwich?"

Rainbow jumped in front of Dipper looking at the fish. "If you want the crystal, you have to get through me, Rainbow-"

The red-haired fish known as Bea punched Rainbow in the face and snatched the crystal out of Dipper's grasp.

Rainbow got up on her hooves and rubbed her face. "Yow, that hurt."

Bea held the crystal up. "Oh, mighty fish gods. Show me the light to Cheese Sandwich!"

A blue fish wearing a black mask tied to a rope comes down and takes the crystal. "Hot dog!" He then turns to a brown fish with brown hair wearing a black vest and braces. "Pull me up, bro!"

The brown fish pulls up the blue fish with Bea chasing after them.

"We have to split up in groups!" Twilight suggested.

"Agreed." Kai added.

The travelers split up in groups. Dipper, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Gumball, Pixal, and Coloratura went after Bea. They went up the building and noticed that Bea and the two brothers were working together.

"Bunch of losers." Bea said maniacally.

"You should've seen the looks on their faces!" The brown one laughed.

The blue one held the crystal up. "Cheese Sandwich, here we come!"

"They're working together!" Coloratura whispered.

Dipper ran out of the shadows. "Hey!"

The three fish turn to Dipper.

"Give me that crystal!" Dipper yelled.

"You have to catch us first!" The brown fish said.

The three fish split up going different directions.

"This is how we have fun in Fishtopia!" The blue fish exclaimed.

The other run to Dipper.

"Who took the crystal?" Pixal asked.

Dipper turns to Silver Spoon and Gumball. "You two get the redhead." Then he turns to Pixal and Coloratura. "You two get the one with the fro. Diamond Tiara and I will get the blue one."

The others nodded and went to get what Dipper told them. Dipper and Diamond Tiara ran after the blue one.

The blue fish turned and saw Dipper and Diamond Tiara. "Losers!" He turned and stopped at the ledge of the building. He turned back to Dipper, who was clenching his right fist making it glow.

"Give...me back...my crystal." Dipper said angrily.

"Okay! Okay!" The fish said taking out the crystal.

Dipper was about to take the crystal, but an explosion blew him off the roof making him let go of the crystal and fall to the ground. He saw the crystal and crawled to get it, but a brown clam with pink hair grabbed it and placed it on her head.

"My turn!" The clam exclaimed as she turned and saw Spike in her way, who blew fire at her, but missed. "Wow. You are one freaky snake."

Spike wore a confused face. "I'm a dragon."

Twilight landed on the clam's head and grabbed the crystal. "That was easy as pie." She then felt a rock hit her head, which made her let go of the crystal.

Bea grabbed the crystal and ran off.

Twilight rubbed her head and saw Bea running away with the crystal. "No!"

Twilight, Spike, Kai and Nya ran after Bea as they ran into Silver Spoon and Gumball.

"Have you seen Bea anywhere?" Gumball asked.

"She got the jewel again!" Nya answered.

Silver Spoon turned and saw Bea running to a ruined house. "There she is!"

The travelers followed Bea to the house. Bea went inside the house and locked the door.

Spike grabbed the door knob. "It's locked!"

Kai turned and saw some vines hanging from the wall. "I found a stress-free way up the house." He runs to the vines and climbed them up the house as he saw Bea poke her head out of a hole in the wall above him.

"Hey Red," Bea said. "I have to admit, you are one hot tamale. Do you work out?"

Kai blushed and wore a confused face. "Excuse me?"

Bea takes out some TNT. "I don't need to know. That was just a compliment." She throws the TNT at Kai.

Kai wore a shocked face and dodged the TNT jumping to another round of vines. He climbs again and saw Bea poke her head out of another hole above him.

"You know what you remind me of?" Bea asked. "This dream I had last night. It was dark and I was in a forest getting chased by sirens." She takes out more TNT. "And I couldn't get them to go away."

She throws the TNT as Kai dodged it going to one more round of vines. As he kept climbing, he finally reached the roof and gestured to Twilight to fly to him. Twilight flew up to Kai and landed next to him. Kai and Twilight looked at Bea, who was holding the crystal looking for Cheese Sandwich.

"Okay, little crystal, show me where Cheese is." Bea said. "If I were Cheese Sandwich, where would I be? I guess that's my problem. I bet Future Bea is super successful."

"Twilight," Kai commanded. "Pounce."

Twilight pounced onto Bea and grabbed the crystal with her magic. Bea and Twilight started to pull the crystal to get it as an explosion occurred making them drop the crystal to another building.

Cole saw the crystal falling to him. He was about to grab it, but it fell into an open window. He turns to Rarity. "We have to get that crystal!"

Rarity nodded and followed Cole to the building. She gets out a hook and a rope and tied them together as she threw the hook part to the window above the one the crystal fell into. She used her magic to lift herself to the window. As she went into the window, she finds a big hole in the ground. She walk up to the hole and looking into it seeing a big orange octopus wearing a black vest and a pale yellow piranha with blonde hair wearing a green cloak holding the crystal.

"What did I tell you about teamwork?" The octopus asked.

"I was the one who said we should work together!" The piranha yelled.

"Did not!" The octopus yelled back.

Rarity grabbed the crystal with her magic out of the piranha's hands with the octopus and piranha looking up to her. "Thank you." She runs out of the window and saw Cole climbing the rope as she used her magic to pick him up.

"Thanks, Rarity." Cole said.

"Anytime." Rarity replied. "But now we have to get to the next building." She puts Cole on her back and runs off. Rarity then jumps to the next building seeing Jay and Pinkie searching for the one who got the crystal. She clears her throat as Jay and Pinkie turned to her and saw the crystal in her grasp.

"Hey, you got the crystal." Jay said.

Rarity gives Jay the crystal. "Keep it from everyone here. Except the ones we know. Pass it to someone you see."

Jay nodded and jumps onto Pinkies back. "Go, Pinkie!"

Pinkie jumps off the building to the ground being chased by many fish. She then runs to Squidward as Jay gives Squidward the crystal. Squidward takes the crystal and runs off being chased. He then runs to a building and finds a ladder. He climbs the ladder up to the roof and finds Fluttershy and Patrick on the roof. Fluttershy and Patrick turned to Squidward. Squidward gives Fluttershy the jewel.

"Get Patrick to the tower." Fluttershy said. "It might be where Cheese is."

Squidward nodded as he took Patrick's arm and ran to the tower.

Fluttershy turned and saw many fish running up the stairs to her. She flew off the roof and flew away as she saw Dipper and Diamond Tiara. "Dipper!"

Dipper looked up and saw Fluttershy, who was holding the crystal.

"I got your crystal!" Fluttershy called throwing the crystal the Dipper.

Dipper caught the crystal. "Thanks, Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy smiled and flew away.

Dipper and Diamond Tiara turned and saw many fish running to them. Dipper puts the crystal on and activated his magic. Then he threw a ball of blue light at the fish blowing them away. After all that, they finally arrived at the tower, seeing the others.

The rest turned to Dipper and Diamond Tiara.

"You two are okay." Coloratura said. "And you got the crystal."

Dipper smiled. "Got it safe and sound." He said walking to the others with Diamond Tiara following him.

Zane knocked on the doors as they open and sucked the travelers inside.

Chapter 6: Cheese Sandwich

The travelers fell into a throne room falling onto each other. They thought it was a trap, but they think it was Cheese Sandwich who made the doors suck them inside. The travelers soon got off each other.

"Is everyone okay?" Twilight asked.

Everyone nodded yes.

Dipper got up on his feet and saw his crystal glowing brighter. "Guys! My crystal found him here! But he could be anywhere."

"Why don't you look behind you?" A voice asked sternly.

The travelers turned around and saw an orange earth stallion with a brown mane and green eyes wearing a yellow crystal and a yellow cape holding a piece of Swiss cheese on a toothpick sitting on his throne.

The stallion turned and saw Pixal and her students. "If it isn't Pixal and her two proteges. We meet again." He pops the cheese cube into his mouth.

"It's Cheese Sandwich." Spongebob said. "We fell into his trap."

"I know, right?" Gumball replied.

"Cheese Sandwich, let me explain everything." Pixal said. "Wizard kind is at stake, and-"

"And Mr. Bill is taking their magic to become the most strongest being alive?" Cheese Sandwich interrupted.

Pixal nodded yes.

"So what brings you here?" Cheese Sandwich asked. "Do you need my help to stop Mr. Bill?"

"We have the Pine Tree." Pixal answered.

Cheese Sandwich wore a surprised face. "What? Who is he?"

Dipper walked next to Pixal looking at Cheese Sandwich. "That would be me."

"Benson sent me and my students on a quest to find the Pine Tree." Pixal explained. "We found him at the Mainland with the Elements of Harmony. And that's when Bill took the king. The problem is Dipper needs to control his magic before we return to Stellari Kombar."

"The only option to stop the war." Cheese Sandwich said as he got off his throne and walked up to Dipper. "I will teach you to control your magic. You just need to face me at the War Pit."

"The War Pit?" The others asked in unison.

After the talk with Cheese Sandwich, they were now at the War Pit. Dipper was in the pit with the others in the audience. And many fish were cheering seeing a green pegasus with an orange and yellow mane and gold eyes wearing a red bow tie and black boots on each leg named Lightning Dust walk into the War Pit.

"Welcome to the War Pit!" Lightning Dust shouted seeing all the fish cheer.

"This place is full of insane people!" Jay yelled. "First a band of fish tried to steal the crystal, then the entrance sucked us inside, and now this!"

"I have to agree with you." Pinkie replied. "Everyone here is crazy!"

"At least this isn't like the time Plankton locked us in the dungeon with Discord." Sandy added.

Diamond Tiara turned to Sandy. "You guys went to Plankton's castle?"

"It's a long story." Mabel told Diamond Tiara.

"On one side, you know him, you love him, our ruler, Cheese Sandwich!" Lightning Dust shouted.

Cheese Sandwich walked into the pit seeing the fish chant his name.

"On the other side, we have a new guy." Lightning Dust said. "And his name is the Pine Tree!"

Dipper walked into the pit seeing the fish booing at him.

"What are the rules?" Spike asked.

"There are no rules in the War Pit." Silver Spoon answered.

"NO RULES?!" Spike yelled.

Silver shook her head no. "No rules."

'This is bad.' Spike thought. 'This is very, very, VERY, bad.'

"This is how Cheese Sandwich taught you guys how to control your magic?!" Cole asked in shock. "Going against him in a violent magic dual?!"

"That's how he always teaches the students." Gumball said.

Dipper took a deep breath. "You can do this, Dipper. You can do this."

"Let the battle begin!" Lightning Dust shouted walking away from the battle.

Cheese Sandwich smirked. "Go ahead. Take your best shot at me."

Dipper clenched his right fist creating a blue orb of magic and threw it at Cheese Sandwich. Unfortunately, he missed. All the fish in the audience started laughing at Dipper. The others wore faces of concern.

"He's got a lot to learn about magic." Twilight said.

Cheese Sandwich laughed. "Is that the best you got, Pine Tree? I think not."

Dipper rolled his eyes and started to create another orb of magic. He then threw it at Cheese Sandwich. But this time, he got him at the head. All the fished gasped.

"Now he's getting it." Gumball added.

Cheese Sandwich shook his head and glared at Dipper. "I guess you're not so stupid after all. After all, you're still a student."

"And you need more practice!" Lightning Dust shouted making all the fish laugh.

Dipper glared at Lightning Dust and shot a ball at magic at her.

Lightning Dust saw the ball of magic and dodged it making it hit the ground.

Dipper turned to the audience. "That was a warning!"

"Yow." Lloyd said.

"Yow, indeed." Rainbow agreed.

"Alright, Pine Tree." Cheese Sandwich said lighting up his hooves with magic. "No more playtime. Let do this the old fashioned way!" He then started floating and shot a beam of magic at Dipper.

Dipper wore a shocked face as he dodges the beam. He got back up on his feet and was about to shoot a beam of magic at Cheese Sandwich.

Cheese Sandwich saw what Dipper was going to do as he shot yellow balls of magic at Dipper. "Bwah ha ha ha ha!"

Dipper cancelled the attack and dodged every attack Cheese Sandwich performed.

"He's going to be blown up over there! We have to help him!" Mabel yelled.

"We can't. It's too risky." Cole said to Mabel.

Spike puffed his chest and jump out of the audience to help Dipper.

Kai turned to Spike and saw him in the pit. "Spike! Get out of there!"

Spike didn't listen and kept running. He stopped and turned to Cheese Sandwich. "Hey!"

Cheese Sandwich turned to Spike seeing him blowing fire at him. He dodged the attack and shot a ball of magic at Spike. But Spike dodged the attack. Cheese Sandwich started to get impatient. "Come on, you tiny pest! You're wasting my time!"

Dipper turned and saw Spike running from Cheese Sandwich's attacks. He then realized what Spike was doing. Spike was distracting him so Dipper would get a chance to beat him. But Dipper didn't know what to do since Spike was distracting the ruler of Fishtopia.

Diamond Tiara wore a face of confidence. 'I believe in you.' She thought.

Dipper heard Diamond Tiara's thought in his head. 'You do?'

'You can do this, Dipper.' Diamond Tiara thought. 'I know you can.'

Dipper smiled and shot a ball of magic at Cheese Sandwich.

Cheese Sandwich felt the ball of magic hit him as he fell to the ground. He got back up and started lifting Spike with his magic. "Alright, dragon. Let's see if you can fly!"

"Spike!" Dipper yelled.

Cheese Sandwich threw Spike leaving him screaming.

The others saw Spike in the air.

"Fly away, Spike. Be free." Patrick said getting a slap in the back of the head by Mabel.

Coloratura ran to catch Spike. As she got closer, she finally caught him. "I got you. I got you." She them placed him on her back. "Don't scare us like that again."

"Promise." Spike said.

Cheese Sandwich turned to Dipper and shot a beam at Dipper. Dipper did the same. (Shooting beams of magic) The beams were now align, but Dipper's was more stronger. Dipper beam finally hit Cheese Sandwich leaving an explosion of magic. The explosion disappeared and everyone was now shocked. Cheese Sandwich was on the ground paralyzed of what he was.

Lightning Dust came out into the pit and looked around seeing Dipper standing and Cheese Sandwich on the ground. "The winner: The Pine Tree!"

Everyone in the audience cheered and chanted. "Pine Tree! Pine Tree! Pine Tree!"

Dipper walked to the middle of the pit. "Who likes magic?"

All the fish in the audience cheered.

An orange fish turned around and screamed in fear. All the fish turned around and saw Bill in the sky. The fish started running away trying not to get into Bill's grasp. The travelers turned and saw Bill.

"Something tells me that Cheese Sandwich told everyone a lot about Bill." Squidward said.

Cheese Sandwich got up and saw Bill coming to him.

"I think Bill is here for Cheese Sandwich!" Silver Spoon said.

Bill arrived above the the pit. "Whoa. Cheese Sandwich? Long time, no see. I saved you a ticket. To my bubble!" Bill shot Cheese Sandwich putting him in a bubble. "Don't worry. The party's inside the big bubble." He threw Cheese Sandwich into the big bubble.

"Oh, come on!" Rainbow yelled. "First the king, now Cheese Sandwich!"

"Run!" Pixal yelled.

The travelers ran away from the pit. Dipper ran out of the pit and joined the others. The travelers ran out of the town into the forest. After they went out of the forest, they found the boat and floated away from the island.

Bill turned and saw the travelers. "That's it. Run away like you mean it. I don't need you. I have all the wizards and witches over here in my bubble."

That night, the travelers were in the middle of the sea trying to forget of what they saw. A burning flame was glowing bright in front of the travelers.

Dipper turned to Pixal. "So, what's next?"

Pixal turned to Dipper. "Now that you got to control your magic, you need to know the origins of Bill."

"Where do we go to do that?" Dipper asked.

"There is this mare named Suri Polomare." Pixal explained. "She knows the origins of Bill. She lives on an island castle. And we have to go there."

Dipper nodded.

"Do any of you have any secrets?" Diamond Tiara asked.

The others turned to Diamond Tiara.

"You mean share our secrets?" Zane asked.

Diamond Tiara nodded. "Who would like to go first?"

Everyone was silent.

Twilight sighed. "My mother was the greatest mother ever. She was the family guardian. Her name was Twilight Velvet. To my dad, Night Light, she was his guardian angel. But to me and my brother, she was Supermom. Taking care of us at day, fighting monsters at night. She was a soldier working for the king of Cassio."

"You had one tough mother." Rainbow said.

"I know, right?" Kai replied.

"I lived with my mother in a snug cabin in the woods." Fluttershy said. "But that's when changelings killed her and took me away. They left me chained to a tree and there was nothing I could do about it. But that's when Zane found me."

"My parents sent me to Stellari Kombar when I found my magic." Gumball added. "I was the newest kid in wizard school and got lots of attention from all of the students. Which is how Silver Spoon, Kenny, and I became friends, and how I became one of Ms. Pixal's proteges."

"Anyone else?" Diamond Tiara asked.

Everyone was silent again.

"I have one." Lloyd said wearing a sad face.

The others turned to Lloyd.

"Rainbow and Squidward knows my secret because I told them." Lloyd again.

"What is it?" Mabel asked.

Lloyd started to untie his headband. Everyone got suspicious of Lloyd. As Lloyd took off his headband, a pair of rabbit ears matching the color of his hair popped up shocking everyone.

Lloyd tied his headband around his wrist. "I'm hiding myself from everyone so no one could see the real me."

Everyone stayed silent.

"Do any of you know what a Faunira is?" Squidward asked.

Everyone stayed silent, not knowing what a Faunira is.

"I know what it is." Diamond Tiara added. "It means 'Animal Hybrid'. They are humans with animal parts. And they have lived for years. Until they became extinct when an illness with no cure killed them all. That sickness killed all of them but one. Which makes him the last of his kind."

Fluttershy felt pity for Lloyd. "Oh, Lloyd. I am so sorry."

"If you are the last of your kind, then why did you shoot a ball of green energy at that changeling the first time we met?" Twilight asked.

"My dad was a wizard. And my mom was a Faunira" Lloyd answered. "His magic might have fused into my blood."

Rarity threw up on the inside. "I just threw up on the inside."

Cole patted Rarity on the back.

Lloyd tied his headband back onto his head hiding his ears.

Dipper turned to Gumball. "When will we be at Suri's?"

"Maybe until sunrise." Gumball said. "We need rest for tomorrow."

The others nodded and drifted to sleep.

Chapter 7: The Origins of Bill

The sun has risen, and the travelers finally arrived at the island they need to be on. They walked for minutes and haven't arrived at the castle yet. Three more minutes passed, and they finally arrived at a giant castle guarded with a force field.

Kenny turned and saw a cockatrice looking at him, then saw him get eletrocuted.

"Who goes there?!" A voice shouted.

The travelers turned and saw a griffon with gold eyes holding a bow and an arrow standing on the roof of the entrance.

The griffon turned and noticed Pixal, Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Kenny. "Pixal? Silver Spoon? Gumball? Kenny?"

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Gilda!" Pixal called.

"Wow! I can't believe it's you guys!" The griffon known as Gilda exclaimed joyfully making a gesture at the travelers. "Come inside!"

The travelers went inside the castle following Gilda.

"It's been so long since we've seen you guys." Gilda said. "So tell me. What's new?"

Pixal frowned. "Bill came to Stellari Kombar and put every wizard and witch in his grasp. He turned the rulers into stone. Then he came to the Mainland and took the king. Then came to Fishtopia and took Cheese Sandwich. And I'm afraid that Suri is next on his list."

Gilda wore a shocked face. The travelers kept following Gilda up some stairs until they reached the throne room. All but Pixal, Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Kenny were tired.

"That....was a lot....of stairs." Rainbow panted.

"Now my feet...are starting.....to hurt." Sandy replied in a tired tone.

Dipper turned and saw a pink earth pony with a purple mane with a bright yellow hairband and brown eyes wearing a blue jewel and a bright blue cape talking to three little girls. One had red hair with a red bow and pink eyes wearing a pink dress, gold bracelets on both her wrists, black flats, and a pink gem. The second one had blonde hair put into pigtails and blue eyes wearing a blue dress, a silver gauntlet on her right arm, black flats, and a blue gem. And the third one had black hair and green eyes wearing a green dress, a silver tiara with a three emeralds in front, black flats, and a green gem.

Dipper turned to Silver Spoon pointing to the pink wizard pony. "Silver Spoon, is that Suri?"

Silver Spoon nodded.

"But who are those girls she's talking to?" Dipper asked.

"Those are Suri's three proteges. The pink one is Blossom, the blue one is Bubbles, and the green one is Buttercup." Silver Spoon answered.

Pixal took a deep breath and walked up to Suri with her proteges, Kenny, and Dipper following her.

"Easy, girls." The pony known as Suri Polomare said. "Everything is going to be-" She turned and saw Pixal. "Pixal. What an unexpecting surprise. Came here for more lessons for your students?" Suri turned to Pixal's students noticing Kenny. "Kenny? But you're dead. How are you still alive?"

Kenny muffled the reason he's still alive.

Suri wore a shocked face. "You were saved?"

Kenny nodded.

"That explains why your crystal is slightly cracked." Suri said. "But what brings you here?"

"We have the Pine Tree." Pixal said. "We found him in the Mainland. We even found the Elements of Harmony. And their friends. We came here so Dipper would know the origins of Bill."

Suri wore a shocked face. "So, does this mean no lesson?"

Pixal shook her head.

Suri sighed. "Who is the next Pine Tree?"

Dipper walked up to Suri. "That would be me."

Suri turned to Pixal. "What's his name?"

"His name is Dipper Pines." Pixal answered. "The crystal chose him."

Suri turned back to Dipper. "Dipper, come with me to the library."

Dipper followed Suri to the library.

Kai turned to Coloratura. "I hope this isn't some vision quest or something." He said with a shudder.

Suri's students walked up to Kenny.

"Long time, no see." Blossom said.

"We thought you died when you fell off the ship." Bubbles said. "Who saved you?"

Kenny pointed to Fluttershy and Zane.

Suri's students walk up to Fluttershy and Zane.

Zane saw the look on Fluttershy's face. "Are you okay, my winged friend?"

"I'm just worried about King Meep." Fluttershy said. "What does Bill want with the king anyway?"

"I don't know." Zane replied. He turned and saw Suri's students in front.

Bubbles flew in front of Zane's face. "You and your pony saved Kenny?"

Zane nodded wearing a shocked face.

"Can I have your autograph?" Bubbles asked pointing to her gauntlet. "Sign here."

Zane grabbed a quill out of an ink bottle and wrote his name on Bubbles' gauntlet.

Buttercup stared at Fluttershy holding her right bottom eyelid. "Look into the eyes of Buttercup the Great. Suri might be our mentor, but I am the tough one. Don't forget it."

"I...can see that." Fluttershy looked scared.

Blossom turned and saw Diamond Tiara. She gasped and flew to Diamond Tiara startling her. "Diamond Tiara? Heiress of the Diamond Dust Company? I'm your biggest fan!"

Diamond Tiara smiled. "Um, hello."

Meanwhile, Suri and Dipper were now at the library. Dipper was sitting at a table while Suri was looking for the book. He couldn't stand the messiness of the library.

"I'm really sorry about the mess." Suri said. "I had many people come in here and try to steal information about Bill. And I had to take care of that problem."

"I can see that." Dipper replied.

Suri shuffled through the books and found a brown book titled 'The Origins of Bill Cipher'. She takes the book. "Here it is." She walks to the table as she opens the book and placed it on the table. Suri looked at the page and read it carefully. "In the land of Sparkario, a young filly had trouble trying to study about wizardry. She couldn't focus on any of it. But that's when she found a cave with a pyramid-shaped jewel inside. On the walls, it told her not to open, but she was curious. So she opened the crystal anyway taking her mind to a dimension in the crystal. The dimension she was in was strange. But that's when she met a triangular creature named Bill Cipher. He helped her with her studies, played with her, and favored her to created a contraption that could change the world. They became great friends. But one day after she finished the contraption, her closest friend, Coco Pommel, saw what Bill was planning. That filly came back to Bill's dimension saying that he lied to her. Bill said that once he come's to the real world, he and his boys will party once again. So she closed the crystal shut and destroyed the contraption. But when she grew up, she was going to the cave where she met Bill, and found the crystal in pieces. She found a hole in the ceiling and found Bill in the sky. She knew that day would come. That pony regretted building that contraption." Suri closed the book. "And that pony was me."

"What?" Dipper asked wearing a shocked face.

"I trusted Bill." Suri explained. "Did what he wanted, helped him with what he needed, everything he wanted me to do. And every wizard said that it wasn't my fault. They said that I didn't notice until now."

"I'm sorry." Dipper said feeling pity for Suri. "Do your students know?"

"I told them. And they didn't think I was to blame." Suri replied. "I was so blind of what I thought of Bill."

Back at the throne room, the travelers were waiting for Dipper and Suri to come back from the library.

Bubbles looked up at the sky and wore a scared face.

The others turned to Bubbles.

"Bubbles, what is it?" Kai asked.

"It's him." Bubbles said in a tone of fear. "He's here."

"Who is here?" Spike asked. "Can you be more specific?"

"BRACE FOR IMPACT!" Bubbles yelled pointing to the sky. "IT'S BILL!"

"WHAT?!" The others asked in unison.

Bill was outside the castle seeing the force field. He pulled out a bubble releasing all his Cipherlings. "All of you break that force field. None of you want an impatient master."

The Cipherlings flew to the force field and started trying to break the force field with spears.

The travelers felt the rumble from above.

"Who knew the force field was connected to the ground?" Rainbow said.

"You had to asked that now, Rainbow?!" Lloyd yelled.

Back at the library, Dipper and Suri felt the rumble.

"What's going on?" Dipper asked.

"Bill. He's here." Suri said getting up from the table. "We have to get out of here." She ran out of the library with Dipper following her.

Back at the throne room, everyone remained in the throne room seeing Suri and Dipper come in.

"You all have to get out of here." Suri demanded. "It's the only way to avoid getting into Bill's grasp."

"What about you?" Buttercup asked.

"I have to stay." Suri said. "It's me he wants."

"We're not leaving without you!" Blossom yelled.

"Please. Bill is only after me." Suri said.

Dipper grabbed Blossom's arm. "Blossom, we have to go!"

Blossom turned to Dipper and nodded.

The travelers ran out of the throne room with Suri's proteges following them.

Suri turned to Gilda. "Gilda, go out there and stop them from breaking in."

Gilda nodded and flew out of an open window of the castle.

The travelers and Suri's students ran out of the castle seeing the force field crack and shatter. They saw the Cipherlings fly to the castle and saw Gilda fighting them with all her might.

Bill turned and saw the travelers as he turned to five Cipherlings. "All of you, destroy them."

The five Cipherling flew to the travelers. The travelers turned and saw five Cipherlings pulling out swords.

Coloratura pulled out her sword and started to fight one of the Cipherlings.

"Foolish pony!" The Cipherling said. "You don't have the strength to fight our master!"

"I don't care if I'm not strong enough!" Coloratura yelled block all of the Cipherling's attacks. "You're not going anywhere with Suri!"

Dipper created a ball of magic and shot it at the Cipherling Coloratura was fighting. Twilight pounced on one of the other Cipherlings and blasted magic at him. Nya saw the third Cipherling flying up to her as she punched him in the eye and shattered him with a punch. Diamond Tiara got out her Diamond Dust sword and got out a bottle of white dust labeled 'Ice' and placed it into her sword. She pointed her sword at three incoming Cipherlings and shot the white dust at them freezing them in ice. Suri's students joined hands creating a ball of magic and shot it at the last two Cipherlings.

Gilda roughed up lots of Cipherlings making Bill angry.

"You stupid pest!" Bill yelled slapping Gilda to a tree back first and land on the ground in pain.

"GILDA!" Suri's students yelled running to the griffon.

The traveler looked at the sky seeing two Cipherlings carrying Suri.

"Bill." Suri said angrily.

"Suri! It's been so long!" Bill exclaimed joyfully. "You just won a ticket to my bubble!" Bill shot Suri putting her in a bubble and threw her into the big bubble. "Well, boys, let's go back to Stellari Kombar and celebrate!"

All the Cipherling cheered and followed Bill.

Suri pounded on the bubble. "You'll never get away with this, Bill!"

The travelers turned to Suri's students, who were looking at the weakened Gilda. They run up to the girls and joined them.

"I couldn't...fight a guy....that strong." Gilda said weakly. "I only....got his boys."

"Please don't die." Blossom begged. "You have so much to live for."

Gilda coughed. "It has been an honor....to protect you girls. But...it's about time...I go into the light."

"Don't say that!" Buttercup yelled.

Bubbles held Gilda's claw. "You were the greatest griffon we have ever known, Gilda."

Gilda turned to Dipper. "Hey, kid. I know..you might not look like....the strongest Pine Tree, but...you can do this. I-" Gilda coughed again. "I know....you can do this. You're strong....on the inside. I know you are." Gilda took out a purple gem. "Take this gem. It protected me, now...it will protect you."

Dipper took the gem and slid it into his pocket.

"Go to Stellari Kombar." Gilda said. "Save wizard kind." Gilda closed her eyes and her claw fell from Bubbles' hand to the ground. Life left her.

Everyone wore sad faces.

"What made Gilda the best griffon ever?" Mabel asked.

"Gilda was the only one who could protect us." Bubbles answered. "Now with her gone and Suri in Bill's grasp, we don't have anyone to protect us from all of the danger on this island."

"We can't stay here. Even when we're by ourselves." Blossom added.

Diamond Tiara looked at Gilda. "Maybe if we surrender, Bill might leave us alone."

Mabel wore a shocked face and turned to Diamond Tiara. "Have you lost your mind, Diamond Tiara? We lost our king. Fishtopia lost Cheese Sandwich. Gilda is dead. And Bill has Suri! Now you're just going to give up?"

"Darling, please leave Diamond Tiara out of this." Rarity said calmly.

"Did I do something to you?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Calling Dipper a pathetic human, that's one of them!" Mabel yelled.

"At least I said I was sorry." Diamond Tiara started to get annoyed. "It's not my fault that you lost your brother once."

"Well I'm not the one holding that stupid sword!" Mabel yelled.

The others gasped.

"You take that back." Diamond Tiara growled.

"Can't. Wouldn't." Mabel said with her arms crossed.

"You know, I hold this sword because I know how to fight." Diamond Tiara said angrily. "But that doesn't mean I know how to run away."

"Your ways of combat don't scare me. Neither does the way you act." Mabel shot back.

"Oh boy." Spike said.

Diamond Tiara turned to Dipper. "Dipper, your sister is being very sour."

Dipper got very annoyed. "Will you two be quiet?! Holy mother of pearl, both of you all acting like little kids!"

"I know my brother well than you do." Mabel said angrily to Diamond Tiara. "He has been in a cell in Plankton's castle for the rest of his days. And the king might be dead because of you!"

"You're pushing this too far, Mabel." Cole said with a tone of concern.

"You know what, why don't I just leave and let you people save wizard kind and the king without me?" Diamond Tiara asked angrily.

"You can't leave! It's dangerous out there!" Applejack yelled in concern.

"Applejack is right. It's too dangerous for a kid to go alone." Kai agreed. "Even for an heiress like you."

"Let her leave if she wants to leave." Mabel grumbled.

Diamond Tiara started to walk away.

Dipper shook his head. "You're not going anywhere."

Diamond Tiara stopped and turned to Dipper.

Mabel wore a shocked face. "Dipper-"

"That's enough. We're on the same side now." Coloratura demanded. "Diamond Tiara is staying."

Mabel crossed her arms.

The travelers walked back to the boat trying to forget about Bill.

Dipper looked at Diamond Tiara and saw the look on her face. "I'm sorry about Mabel. She just gets very angry when people want to give up."

"It's okay." Diamond Tiara said. "It's not your fault."

The travelers went back to the boat and went away from the island. Pixal said that now that Dipper controlled his magic and learned Bill's origins, they have to go to Stellari Kombar to stop Bill.

Author's Note

How will Dipper look deeply into himself? What will he do to prove himself that he was chosen to stop Bill?

Find out on the next chapter of Age of Wizardry!

Chapter 8: Dreams and Visions

That night, everyone on the boat was asleep. Their journey was getting even more devastating every time they see Bill take a wizard or a witch. They even had to take Suri's students with them on the journey because of what they said about being alone.

Dipper had a dream. In his dream, he woke up in a celestial dimension. He got up and started to walk around. "Hello? Anyone here?" He wore a confused face. "This is weird."

"Hello there." A voice said kindly.

Dipper turned around seeing a bright yellow unicorn with a red mane with two streaks of purple and purple eyes wearing black glasses and silver armor with a purple gem on her chest plate walking up to him. "Um, hello." He turned to his right seeing a girl his age with blonde hair wearing a white dress, a blue gem, purple eye shadow, a purple cloak, white gloves, and sliver boots walking up to him. He then turned to him left seeing an orange creature wearing a green cloak, a yellow gem, and blue shoes also walking up to him. He then look forward and saw a red gumball machine with limbs wearing a black cloak and a red gem walking next to the unicorn. Dipper stayed silent not knowing what to say.

"You don't have to ask who we are." The gumball machine said. "We're the rulers of Stellari Kombar.

"All of you are the rulers?" Dipper asked.

The rulers nodded.

"No way. Pixal and her students told me a lot about you guys." Dipper said. "She said that all of you were the wielders of this gem." He held his crystal and turned to the unicorn. "You're Moondancer?"

The unicorn known as Moondancer nodded. "And these people are Pacifica, Wander, and Benson."

"I might look young for a ruler, but I was the one who used Generosity on the poor people." The girl known as Pacifica said.

Dipper frowned. "I still don't understand why the crystal chose me. Was I destined to defeat Bill?"

"You were destined to stop this war." The gumball machine known as Benson answered. "You're the only option we have to stop Bill."

"We don't want this war. We want peace." The creature known as Wander said.

"We want you to see the time before the war." Benson added.

Moondancer walked up to Dipper and lifted her hoof.

Dipper grabbed Moondancer's hoof, taking his mind to another time. He found himself on an island kingdom and found himself with the rulers. "Where are we?"

"The past." Pacifica answered. "The day before the war."

Dipper looked around and saw little children playing around, adults talking to each other, and ponies doing amazing things. "This is Stellari Kombar?"

"Yes. This kingdom was harmony." Moondancer said. "No mistakes, no problems, no pain, nothing terrible."

Dipper followed the rulers to a big castle that looked very new. They went into the castle and in one room, they saw Pixal with Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Kenny.

"Pixal was the greatest mentor we ever hired." Benson said. "She taught them magic very well, and motivated them to success. They could be heroes someday."

Dipper looked at Silver Spoon, who yelled in pain and held her head. Then saw Kenny, Gumball, and Pixal run to her. "What's going on with Silver Spoon?"

"She has the ability of seeing visions of what's going to happen next." Wander answered.

Dipper saw Silver Spoon's open her eyes and tell Pixal what was going to happen. 'Silver Spoon can see the future.' He thought.

'I know, right?' Moondancer replied telepathically.

'Wait, how are we doing this?' Dipper asked telepathically.

'Do you know what telepathy is?' Moondancer asked telepathically.

'Yes.' Dipper answered telepathically.

"That's what we're doing." Moondancer said normally lifting her hoof up.

Dipper grabbed Moondancer's hoof sending his mind to another time. He then found himself in Stellari Kombar, but it was in ruins. "Is this now?"

"Yes. After Bill took every wizard and witch off this island." Benson said.

Dipper and the rulers walked to the same castle they were in before, but the castle was in ruins. They walked to the throne room and Dipper saw the rulers in stone. "What happened to you guys?"

"Bill turned us into stone." Pacifica answered. "But we can still communicate with each other in our minds."

"Why would Bill do this?" Dipper asked.

"Bill is doing this because his dimension is running out of magic." Moondancer said. "He only got the citizens so his home can be full of magic once again. And without wizards and witches, the balance will be destroyed."

"Then why didn't he get Pixal and her students?" Dipper again.

"She wasn't that strong to stop Bill." Benson added. "Neither were her students. Not even Kenny could stop him. We wizards and witches thought he was dead. But since that yellow pegasus and her nindroid friend saved him, we are glad to see him. We all wanted to see Kenny one last time before he returns to the Mainland with the king in one piece. And for Suri's girls, they were very powerful, but Bill wasn't interested to take them away."

"That explains why he was only after Suri." Dipper said. "But why would the crystal choose me if I didn't know I was a wizard until now?"

"The crystal knows who is it's next wielder." Moondancer replied. "We gave Pixal the crystal and sent her and her remaining students away because the Pine Tree was the only choice we have to stop Bill. The crystal chose you because you have the power inside of you."

Dipper looked at his crystal.

"You are the only one who can control the power of the Elements of Harmony, Dipper." Benson said. "It's your destiny. So please, save wizard kind. Defeat Bill. Save Stellari Kombar."

The rulers started to fade away.

"No no no! Wait!" Dipper yelled as he looked around and saw himself in the celestial dimension again. "Wait. This is a dream. It's not real. I have to wake up." He closed his eyes. He woke up and found himself in bed. He got out of bed, grabbed his brown cloak, and walked out of him room finding the others on deck. "Guys!"

The others turned to Dipper.

"None of you are going to believe this, but I had a dream." Dipper said. "I was in some celestial dimension and I saw the rulers of Stellari Kombar. They took me to Stellari Kombar and showed me the time before the war and what Stellari Kombar looks like now."

"They took you from time to time?" Pixal asked.

"Exactly! And it was heartbreaking seeing your home in ruins." Dipper said. "But now that I saw what happened, I'm giving everything I got to save wizard kind and giving my all to save the king."

"What are you saying?" Nya asked.

Dipper stood up tall. "I'm done being scared. And I'm never going back."

The rest cheered.

"Now that's the voice of bravery!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"And whoever wants to join me is welcome." Dipper again.

Kenny muffled in agreement.

"I am not giving in to a big mean demon." Fluttershy said.

"Neither am I." Zane said.

"I want in!" Patrick exclaimed.

"You're my brother. I never leave you behind." Mabel said.

"I'm not scared of Bill." Cole said.

"I will do anything to save anyone." Rarity said.

"I am going to stand up for what's right." Spongebob said putting a gem into his mouth.

"Count me in." Rainbow suggested.

"I'm not hiding who I am anymore." Lloyd said taking off his headband making his rabbit ears pop out.

"This is the newest opportunity to save the world!" Squidward exclaimed putting his clarinet to battle mode.

Pinkie waved her hoof in the air. "Ooh! Ooh! I want in!"

"Count me in too." Jay said.

"I can handle anything. So, I agree." Applejack said.

"I'm with you, friend." Sandy replied.

"Even as the Princess of Friendship, I will go on another journey again." Twilight said.

"I'm not sitting around worrying about my childhood dreams." Kai said.

"I will stand up for the king." Nya said with her hands on her hips.

"I won't give up, even when I'm just a baby dragon!" Spike exclaimed.

"I'm not leaving without the king." Coloratura said taking out her sword.

"I'll do it for Stellari Kombar!" Silver Spoon exclaimed.

"For home." Gumball said.

"Home." Pixal said.

"We'll do it for Suri!" Bubbles exclaimed.

"And Gilda!" Buttercup shouted in joy.

"And the world!" Blossom said.

The others turned to Diamond Tiara.

Diamond Tiara nodded. "Okay, I'll do it. But if we die, my last words will be 'I told you so'."

"I was hoping you would say that." Mabel said pointing her right hand to Diamond Tiara. "Truce?"

Diamond Tiara placed her left hoof in Mabel's hand. "Truce."

Gumball went to the wheel and turned the boat to the right. "Stellari Kombar, he we come!"

Chapter 9: Dipper's Destiny

The travelers were now fully motivated to go to Stellari Kombar all thanks to Dipper's speech. They decided to work together once they go to Stellari Kombar to defeat Bill and his Cipherlings. After they arrived the ruined kingdom, Dipper came up with a plan.

"Alright guys, here's the plan." Dipper explained. "We will go into separate groups to find a way into the plaza. Each group will go to one street. And if we find some Cipherlings, don't die. Do I make myself clear?"

The others nodded.

"Alright, let's go!" Dipper shouted.

The travelers went out of the boat and went into groups.

Diamond Tiara turned to Coloratura and brought out a bottle of yellow dust labeled 'Lightning'. "Here. Smear this around your sword."

Coloratura took the bottle of dust, opened the bottle, and poured the dust into her sheath. She puts her sword into her sheath and shook it.

"Or you can do that." Diamond Tiara said.

Gumball stopped and his ear twitched. The others stopped as well. Diamond Tiara got out her Diamond Dust sword. Coloratura got out her Diamond Dust covered sword. Dipper made a sword out of his magic. Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Pixal lit up their hands (And hooves) with magic. They looked up at the sky and saw lots of Cipherlings flying to them. Diamond Tiara got out a bottle of blue dust labeled 'Sonic Boom', placed it into her sword, and shot it at the Cipherlings. The dust exploded pushing the Cipherlings away.

"Run!" Dipper commanded.

The travelers ran all the way to the plaza without looking back. Pixal went onto Coloratura's back while Gumball went onto Silver Spoon's back and Dipper went onto Diamond Tiara's. Pixal saw even more Cipherlings chasing them. She lit up her hands and shot balls of magic at lots of Cipherlings.

Diamond Tiara tossed her Diamond Dust sword to Dipper. "Use my sword!" Then she tossed another bottle of yellow dust. (I think you know what it's labeled)

Dipper grabbed Diamond Tiara's sword and the bottle of dust. He puts the bottle of dust into the sword and shot the Cipherlings electrocuting them and making them explode. One of the Cipherlings threw his spear at Silver Spoon, but Gumball grabbed it and threw it back making the Cipherling shatter. Gumball then shot a beam of magic at four Cipherlings.

Silver Spoon turned and saw a wagon. "We have to ride that wagon!"

The others nodded and ran to the wagon. Dipper propped the wagon on Coloratura's back and went inside with the others. Coloratura started to run with the others in the wagon. Diamond Tiara got out a bottle of red dust and placed it into her sword. She slashed fire at the seven remaining Cipherlings making them melt.

"I'm melting!" One of the Cipherlings yelled.

"I noticed!" Another replied.

Dipper turned to Diamond Tiara and smiled. "Good thinking."

"Thank you." Diamond Tiara said.

Coloratura stopped and saw that the road they were on was now going down.

"Rara, in the wagon!" Dipper commanded.

Coloratura ran to the back on the wagon as she pushed it down and threw herself inside the wagon. The travelers were now going down and were going fast. They even screamed hanging on for their lives.

"What was I thinking?!" Silver Spoon screamed.

"It was your idea!" Gumball yelled.

Pixal saw the plaza up ahead. "We're almost there!"

The others turned and saw the plaza up ahead.

Meanwhile, the Elements, their friends, and Suri's students were at the plaza.

"Wow. This place is very empty." Jay said.

"I heard that this plaza was used as a festival for holidays." Rainbow replied.

Fluttershy turned and saw Patrick, who was about to eat a cupcake that looked like it was on the ground. "Patrick, don't eat that. You might get sick."

Patrick dropped the cupcake.

Mabel slid her finger on the ground and rubbed her finger and thumb together. "This place is very old, but this place looks like it's still being used."

Kenny muffled a reply to Mabel.

Kai looked at the fountain's alicorn statue. He then looked at the water of the fountain seeing his reflection. "There's still some water in this fountain."

Sandy heard screaming from behind her. She turned and saw Dipper, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Gumball, Pixal, and Coloratura riding a wagon going very fast screaming their heads off.

"Get out of the way!" Diamond Tiara yelled.

Sandy jumped out of the way as the wagon ran over a rock shooting the others out.

Diamond Tiara landed on Cole. Pixal and Coloratura flew into an antique shop. Gumball and Silver Spoon splashed into the fountain. And Dipper landed on the ground not getting a scratch.

Diamond Tiara got off Cole. "I'm sorry. Did I break one of your bones?"

"Nope. You just hit me in the stomach, that's all." Cole said weakly holding his stomach.

Pixal and Coloratura walked out of the antique shop.

"That was a hard landing." Pixal said pulling a rusty fork out of her hair.

Coloratura took the clay pot off her head and placed it on the ground.

Gumball and Silver Spoon walked out of the fountain.

Silver Spoon shivered. "That was cold fountain water."

Dipper got up on his feet and brushed himself.

"That was one landing." Spike said.

"At least we're not dead." Dipper replied. He looked at his crystal seeing it glow. "This crystal might know where Bill is." He took off his crystal and pointed it to the sky.

"Go to your left." Patrick said to Dipper.

"No, your right." Pinkie said to Dipper.

"I say left!" Patrick yelled.

"And I say right!" Pinkie yelled back.

"Left!"

"Right!"

"LEFT!"

"RIGHT!"

Mabel walked between Pinkie and Patrick. "Alright, you two, calm down. Just give Dipper some space."

Dipper saw his crystal glow brighter when he saw that the crystal was telling them to go through another street. "We have to walk together through this street."

The others nodded and followed Dipper through the street. While on the way, they heard noises. Owls hooting, doors creaking, and glass shattering. But they decided to ignore it. After walking through the empty street, they were now at a field with many Cipherlings looking at the bubble of wizards and witches. Some were trying to break the bubble. Others were sad.

Bill floated to the bubble. "Okay, boys! We all knew this day would come! And when I take these wizards and witches' magic and when they fall into our dimension, we will have magic once again!"

The Cipherlings cheered.

Rainbow growled. "When I get my hooves on that triangle creep, I'm going to crush him! Literally!"

"Wait." Dipper whispered.

Bill placed his hand on the bubble and sucked the magic out of all the wizards and witch, making them scream in pain.

Mabel got out her dagger. Zane got out his shurikens. Kenny went on Fluttershy's back and lit his hands with magic. Cole got out a scythe. Jay went on Pinkie's back. Rarity got out two swords. Sandy went on Applejack's back. Lloyd went on Rainbow's back. Squidward got out his clarinet. Kai, Nya, and Coloratura got out their swords. Twilight lit her horn. Spike went on Twilight's back. Spongebob spread his wings. Pixal, Gumball, and Silver Spoon lit their hands and hooves with magic. Diamond Tiara got out her Diamond Dust sword. Suri's students lit their hands with magic. And Patrick clenched both his fists.

Bill got all the magic, which made him powerful. "Oh, yes! The magic! The power! It's mine! It's all mine!"

"Now!" Dipper yelled.

The travelers went out of the darkness getting attention by Bill and his Cipherlings.

"Well, well, well. We have some party crashers over here." Bill said. "Any of you here for something?"

"Bill, let those wizards and witches go." Dipper demanded. "They don't deserve this."

"Oh, come on. Everyone loves to party." Bill started to create a ball of magic. "Just like me and my boys!" He shot the ball at the travelers.

The travelers dodged the ball of magic. They looked into the hole seeing another dimension that was flashing from blue to dark blue.

"What is that?!" Lloyd asked.

"Bill's dimension." Gumball answered.

The ground started cracking. The crack started to go underneath the Cipherlings.

Bill created another ball of magic. "Out of the way, boys!"

The Cipherlings went out of the way as Bill shot a beam of magic, opening another portal. Bill opened another portal. And another to another. Many portals opened. He looked at the bubble and saw the wizards and witches screaming in fear.

Pixal looked at Bill. "Bill! You can't do this! You have to stop!"

"Why should I? My world is dying. And it needs magic!" Bill yelled shooting a ball of magic at Coloratura.

Kai saw the ball of magic flying to Coloratura. "Rara, look out!"

Coloratura saw the ball of magic and dodged it. She then saw another portal open.

"You're only destroying Stellari Kombar to give the magic to your dimension!" Pixal yelled.

"I don't care! The magic is running out in my home. And I will fix it!" Bill shot the bubble and the wizards and witches fell out. (He still has King Meep in his grasp) He shot magic at the middle of the field, which made a cracking hole to Bill's dimension.

A witch with black hair and blue eyes wearing a pink dress, black boots, a pink gem, and a pink bow fell into the cracking hole, but Sandy grabbed her hands.

"Don't let go! I got you!" Sandy yelled pulling her out of the hole.

The travelers were trying to stop the endangered wizards and witches from falling into the hole.

Kai pulled a brown and white colt with a brown mane and brown eyes wearing a red cloak and a red gem out of the hole. "Don't worry. I got you."

"Thank you, sir." The colt said.

Suri's students turn to each other and nodded.

Diamond Tiara was pulling out two witches. One with red hair and blue eyes wearing glasses, an orange dress, black flats, and a yellow gem. And the other was a blue unicorn filly with a mane with two shades of purple and purple eyes wearing a purple cloak and a purple gem. She fell into the hole, but she held on to the edge.

Squidward turned to Diamond Tiara. "Hang on, Diamond Tiara!"

"That's what I'm doing!" Diamond Tiara was slipping. She let go of the edge as Blossom and Mabel got her hoof.

"We got you!" Mabel yelled.

Dipper got up and looked down at his crystal, which was glowing. "Alright, Dipper, what can the Pine Tree do to stop Bill?"

Fluttershy and Zane pulled a white colt with a brown mane and green eyes wearing a blue cloak and a green gem out of the hole. Fluttershy glowed putting Zane and the colt in shock.

Dipper saw his crystal glow yellow as he turned to the Elements of Harmony. He saw Rarity glow. Then saw Applejack. Then Rainbow. Then Pinkie. Then Twilight. He saw the symbols of the Elements. He knew what to do now. "That's it. If the Pine Tree can control the power of the Elements of Harmony, then I have to use their magic!" He turned to Bill. "This isn't the way!" He yelled getting Bill's attention. "I know you feel powerful now. Like you could get everything you wanted! Plankton has been where you are. He's made the same mistake you're making right now. He drank a potion, and just like you, he was happy about the power it given him. He thought turning himself into a nightmare would give him what he wanted."

"Oh, you're wrong, Pine Tree." Bill said. "Unlike that talking pickle, I can have everything I wanted!"

"No, you can't, Bill! Even with all the magic you got from those wizards and witches, everyone will still hate you!" Dipper took off his crystal and pointed it to the sky. "It all comes from Honesty!" Applejack started floating. "Kindness!" Then Fluttershy started to float. "Laughter!" Then Pinkie. "Generosity!" Then Rarity. "Loyalty!" Then Rainbow. "And the one that binds them together, Magic!" Then Twilight. The crystal started glowing, lifting Dipper from the ground. "I've seen who you are, Bill. Now I'm going to show you the most important magic of all." The Elements glowed brighter and shot beams of magic at Dipper. The beams suddenly disappeared showing Dipper, who was now wearing gold armor. He still had his crystal and cloak on. And he was now riding a blue glowing alicorn with a flowing mane with the colors of the rainbow wearing gold armor. "The Magic of Friendship."

The Elements went back on the ground and saw the state Dipper was in now. The others saw it as well. So did all the wizards and witches. Even the king of the Mainland saw Dipper.

Dipper shot the portals and closed them. Then shot the bubble as King Meep fell out.

Twilight flew to King Meep and caught him. "I got you, your highness."

Bill growled and flew to Dipper. The alicorn Dipper was on flew to Bill as she and Bill clashed into each other making a white glow, blinding the others. Then they broke away. Bill shot a beam of magic at the alicorn. The alicorn did the same. The two beams were pushing each other, but Bill was putting pressure on his. Bill laughed. The alicorn was giving all her might.

The wizards and witches gasped.

Fluttershy turned to Lloyd as an idea popped into her head. She flew to Lloyd and took off his headband which made his ears pop up.

Lloyd saw what Fluttershy was doing and didn't like it. "Fluttershy, give me my headband!"

Fluttershy turned to Bill. "Oh, Bill."

Bill looked at Lloyd and saw his ears. "Oh no! Faunira!"

The Cipherlings screamed in fear.

Lloyd wore a confused face, but got the message and turned back to Fluttershy. "Now I see what you've done there."

Dipper opened his eyes and the alicorn's beam of magic was winning. Bill turned back to Dipper and saw the beam of magic about to hit him. The beam of magic finally hit Bill, which made him scream in pain.

Bill looked at his hands and saw them cracking. "NO!" He then saw hit feet cracking. "NO!" Now he was cracking everywhere. "NOOOO!" Bill exploded. So did his Cipherlings. The alicorn landed on the ground as Dipper got off the alicorn's back. The other ran up to him.

Mabel gave Dipper a hug. "I'm so proud of you!"

Dipper smiled and hugged Mabel back.

The travelers saw a ball of magic explode and wisps of magic flew back to the wizards and witches. The wizards and witches cheered in joy.

Author's Note

What will Dipper do next? Will they go home and celebrate the king's return?

Find out on the last chapter of Age of Wizardry!

Chapter 10: True Colors

The alicorn walked up to Dipper and flew to his crystal.

"That was the most awesome thing I've ever seen in my entire life!" Rainbow exclaimed with joy. "You did a very heroic thing, Dipper."

'The rulers were right. This is my destiny.' Dipper thought as he turned and saw all the wizards and witches frowning. "Why are they so sad?"

"They still need their rulers." Pixal said. "There is something we need you to do for us."

Dipper nodded and followed Pixal and her students to the castle. The others joined them and walked to the castle. Pixal then imagined the rulers walking with her and her students. In her thought, she and her students were happy. So were the rulers. The thought disappeared and she found herself approaching the castle with the others. The travelers stopped at the doors of the castle. Dipper walked up to the doors and placed his hands on the knobs. He twisted them as the doors open, showing the throne room. The travelers walked inside the throne room and saw the rulers in stone. They went closer to the four statues and saw seven markings on the floor. Six of them had the symbols of the Elements of Harmony, and the one in the middle looked like Dipper's crystal. Dipper walked to the middle of the room. Applejack walked to the apple symbol. Fluttershy walked to the butterfly one. Pinkie turned to a squid and jumped to the balloon. Rarity walked to the diamond. Rainbow flew to the lightning bolt. And Twilight teleported to the spark. The Elements started glowing as Dipper lit his right hand with magic and shot it at the rulers. A rainbow formed around Dipper. The others saw the statues cracking.

"It's working!" Cole exclaimed.

The Pacifica statue's pointing finger moved. Dipper used all his might as the statues break open. The glow around the Elements faded. The rainbow disappeared as Dipper fell to the ground exhausted. Dipper opened his eyes seeing the rulers walk up to him. He turned and saw Diamond Tiara pointing her hoof at Dipper. Dipper grabbed Diamond Tiara's hoof as she helped him up.

"Thank you." Benson said. "You did a heroic thing today. You got your king back. You defeated Bill. You saved wizard kind. You stopped the war. And we thank you for that."

The others cheered.

Benson turned to Pixal. "Pixal, I knew we could trust you and your proteges on getting the only option to stop this war. And you got yourself some good friends that helped you."

"So, does this mean we're staying in the Mainland?" Pixal asked.

Benson nodded.

Pixal gasped in joy.

Benson then turn to Kenny. "And Kenny, it is great to see you again. Where have you been all the sudden?"

Kenny muffled the answer to Benson.

The other laughed.

After that, the travelers went on the boat with Suri and Cheese Sandwich with them.

Suri was hugging her students. "Thank goodness you girls are okay."

"It's great to have you back, Suri." Blossom said. "But I think you need to hire a new protector because Bill killed Gilda in one hit."

Suri nodded in agreement.

The travelers went to the island castle to drop off Suri and her students. They waved to Suri and her students saying goodbye. Then they went to Fishtopia to drop off Cheese Sandwich. All the fish cheered and hugged Cheese Sandwich as he waved goodbye to the travelers. Now they went back to the Mainland and saw Bloo and the crusaders taking care of the citizens. Bloo, the crusaders, and the citizens turned to the travelers. The citizens smiled as they ran to the king and carried him. After that, there was a big party for the king's return. And everyone was invited. Squidward walked off the stage as Soos came up.

"Thank you, Mr. Squidward." Soos said. "Our next act will be, the moment you all been waiting for, please welcome, Countess Coloratura."

The citizens cheered and saw Coloratura wearing a purple sparkly dress and blue gloves near a piano.

"This song was written for all of you." Coloratura said. "But I can't sing this without a special friend. Pixal? Can you come up here?"

Pixal walked onto the stage wearing a purple dress, black flats, and white gloves. She sat on the piano and turned to a white Squidicorn with a mane with two shades of blue and magenta eyes. "Hit it, Vinyl!"

Everyone cheered seeing Coloratura and Pixal bow.

Meanwhile, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Gumball, and Dipper were gazing at the stars.

"You know, I've been wondering." Dipper said. "Why is Bill and his Cipherlings afraid of Fauniras?"

"Well," Silver Spoon started. "Bill was in his dimension and he saw a Faunira in his kitchen. He told the Faunira to go away, but the Faunira hissed at him, making him faint."

"Too bad combat school is delayed until the building is fixed." Gumball added. "It was so awesome there. I mean, I know Dipper and Diamond Tiara had a rough start. But now that you two got along, everything is back to it was before."

"What are you kids talking about?" A voice asked.

They turned and saw Spitfire flying to them.

"Just talking about us." Diamond Tiara said.

"I'll tell you what." Spitfire added. "I heard that two of you are wizards and witches and Dipper here is the so-called Pine Tree. I promise to keep this a secret, okay?"

The kids nodded.

"Mind if I join you at star gazing?" Spitfire asked.

"Sure." Dipper said.

Spitfire sat down and looked at the stars. The kids turned back to the sky.

"Even wonder what's on the moon?" Diamond Tiara asked.

"Nope." Dipper said.

The others laughed.

Patrick popped up looking at you. "The end!"

Pinkie popped up. "Hey! I wanted to say that!"

Patrick and Pinkie started arguing as Mabel popped up between them.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING?!" Mabel yelled.

Pinkie and Patrick backed up wearing faces of fear.

Mabel turned to you. "Sorry about that."
