Camila Noceda and her daughter Luz and adopted daughter Vee stepped out of the bus that took them from the airport to their hotel that is apart of the casino resort. The casino resort is Dream Castle, modeled after the original castle of Ponyland in Dream Valley. Very popular with families thanks to all the family entertainment for the kids and adult entertainment for the adults in the adult section. They’re on a family vacation together just the 3 of them. With all that has happen to them and afterwards, they needed some family time together. Well for awhile till the others arrival in a few days behind them.
"So we're here huh? I'm so excited! It's been years since we last did this!" Camila said as she walked inside the lobby holding onto both Luz and Vee hands.
Behind them are their luggage on a cart being pushed by one of the workers of the resort. They have already checked into their room at the front desk which is a penthouse VIP room. After getting their bags dropped off at their room, they immediately went to explore the resort floor. The entire trip is free thanks to Sunset Shimmer the owner of the resort personally inviting them for a stay at the resort. With Luz being famous in the Boiling Isles, her staying at the resort would get word out for the people of the isles to come and spend their money at the new vacation spot. Plus the fact that it was all free made the decision easy to make.
The first thing they saw when they step foot outside was the huge dragon statue in front of the entrance of the resort. Standing over 20 feet tall, you can see him standing proudly in front of the entrance. Modeled after the legendary dragon Spike of Dream Valley. He has been sculptured out of purple and green stones and is carved with intricate details of his scales and wings. His eyes glow bright green like he can sense any danger that comes near him.
After staring up at the statues for a few minutes, Camila turns around and looks at the rest of the resort. There are many shops and restaurants all along the main strip. Some of the stores are selling food, souvenirs, or even clothes that are designed to look like the various animals of Dream Valley.
“This is what we need, some nice quality time together as a family,” Camila said leading her daughters deeper into the resort.
They walked down the main strip until they reach a large fountain that spouts water up towards the sky. Along the sides of the fountain are several benches where you can sit and relax while watching the waterfall fall. There was also a small stage next to the fountain where some musicians were playing music for the guests to enjoy. And from one of the benches a figure studied the family of 3.

Gravity Falls Brighton Junkyard -
"Plant clippings, banana peel, paper waste, a pile of fish offal, a empty can of dog food," Daggett said as he and Norbert are emptying out the trash from the back of Soos’s truck.
The trash is from the house boats on the lake, that the beavers have collected for the residents who don’t want to go to the recycling center. They're emptying out the trash, and putting it into a bin where it would be poured into the industrialized size recycler that has been installed into the warehouse that been built in the junkyard. Larger pieces of trash would be broken into smaller pieces if they couldn’t fit the slot.
Since the recycler machines been appearing all over the place. The dumps and junkyards have been transformed with the trash collected being dump into the industrialized size recyclers that breaks all the trash down into material cubes. Which are then sold to factories where industrial fabricators which are essentially large 3-D printers that produce usable items from the raw materials. Many of the landfills are being dug up for the trash underneath to make more material cubes.
"Burnt circuit boards, corroded coil, frayed wire, fried hard drive, and used plastic tubing," Dipper adds.
“Bio-hazardous and medical waste, expired plasma bags, a petri dish and test tubes,” Twilight said lifting out all the gross stuff.
“We also collected the trash that people dump into the lake,” Norbert said.
“A lemon peel, apple cores, old fruit, broken wood, a jar of rusty nails,” Mabel said sorting through her own pile.
“And an old baseball glove with a name on it. Which is a keeper as it could be a collector item,” Wendy said putting the glove someplace safe.
"Oh yeah that can be a real collector's item," Soos said.
"So much junk people still dump into the lake and we can sell it. And that strange fellow pays us money for it," Mabel said pointing to Old Man McGucket who is doing something as he brings in parts into his shack.
"Well Junkman is the one who pays us," Daggett said pointing to the protectron that actually runs the junkyard. (1)
"Then what's with the old man?" Mabel ask.
"He was already living here," Wendy said.
"So, what do they do with this stuff?" Mabel ask watching the robot name Junkman dumping a bin full of her trash into the slot where trash is poured into the recycler. The machine hum as the trash was broken down and sorted into mineral, synthetic, and organic cubes from the other end.
"The mineral and synthetic cubes are sold to factories and people who buy them to be used in a fabrication machine. That makes just about anything as long as the design is program into it. The organic cubes are also sold to factories that need them, but mostly they're used in making blaze which is a bio-fuel. Or simply used as fuel like the new bioreactor that chemically composts organic matter into energy," Dipper explains having looked into what happens to the trash.
"So now they recycle everything?" Mabel ask having never really thought about what happens to the trash.
"Just about everything," Twilight said. "They even recycle the waste from the water treatment planet and the sewage treatment plant. Seeing how the recycler doesn't get the water or liquids that's inside some of the items being recycled."
"Where does the water go?" Mabel ask.
"Glad you ask," Twilight said showing Mabel the pipe that drains the water the builds up in the machine into the sewers. "There are specially design recyclers that are made to clean up all the waste from like a chemical plant before it's empties out into like a river or the sea. The plants also make some money on the side thanks to all the materials that are produced from their waste."
"Hey what's with the purple cube?" Mabel ask spotting the purple cube that came out.
"Cool an exotic material," Daggett said.
"Exotic?" Mabel ask.
"Every now and then a purple cube comes out when a magical item is put into the machine or when something that is made of magic, or just has lots of magic on it is recycle," Twilight explains.
"Like the shavings from Twilight horn and hoof shavings, hair or feathers from a pegasus," Soos said.
"Shavings?" Mabel ask.
"My horn grows like your finger nails, I need to smooth it out and trim it now and then. The same goes for my hooves," Twilight explains.
"So where did the exotic cube came from?" Mabel ask.
"There’s a lot of stuff we have gathered up. There would bound to be something with magic that someone threw away. Or ponies toss their hoof and horn clips into the lake,” Norbert suggested.
"So do the exotic cubes sell more?" Mabel ask.
"Yes, the exotic cubes sell more because of how rare they are and how much it takes to just make a cube. It takes lots of hair, feathers and horn shavings to make a single cube. The last time I recycle my horn and hoof clippings and my hair. I only made a ball which happens when there isn't enough to make a cube," Twilight said.
"So how much?" Mabel ask.
"A cube sells for 50 each," Twilight said.
"So, what are they use for?" Mabel ask.
"Mostly they're used for making spell drives and used in magical research. Then there are people who just buy them to have them. And some former magic users buy them thinking that it can restore their spell casting magic, which no it doesn't," Twilight explains.
"But it doesn't stop people from trying to find ways of getting magic," Dipper adds looking at Mabel.
“I wanted to be a magical girl,” Mabel said.
"Yeah, these purple cube sell big," Soos said.
"Too bad uncle Stan isn’t still married to Eda the Owl Witch. She could teach us magic,” Mabel said.
“Well she did steal his money and his car,” Dipper pointed out.
“And we watch the game show he and she was on, and boy were they ready to tear each other apart,” Norbert said.
“They’re prefect for each other,” Twilight dead panned.

Elsewhere -
The faceless man with the floating head appeared in a room filled with file cabinets and bookcases filled with files and paper. There are also several computers and data storage machines from the old micro films to microchips. There are several old analog computers and digital computers all coming from different worlds of many different levels of technology. His old friend like him has changed from what they use to be, with his friend now an information broker who has ears just about everywhere.
"Terrible Trivium what can I do for you?" The Sensers Taker ask who is buried in papers and ink.
"I see you're still copying all the information you have taken on paper," Terrible Trivium said.
"Of course, I am. The ones I have taken from can do their best in spreading a virus or computer whatever to destroy what I have taken. But there is no way for them to destroy the papers I have written down. Unlike you they don't know where I am," The Sensers Taker said.
"Do you have what I need?" Terrible Trivium ask not even bothering to tell his old friend what he needs.
"Bookcase 4712 on the 3rd self," The Sensers Taker said.
"My payment is here," Terrible Trivium said leaving a box on a pile of papers.

Canterlot -
Sunset sighed it had been a ROUGH day. Sequin Land is now another world that is connected to this world now. Of course that was after the court case dealing with Star Butterfly that is. Shantae not being completely satisfied with Jenny's response at the pool did her own investigation. And learned that while Moon WAS in prison, she learned that there were two other people responsible for the Merge in that world... Mina and Star.
The destruction of magic had hit the closed off genie realm of that world. Sending all the now powerless genies to Sequin Land. Many came to live with their children who are happy having their moms back. But without full blooded genies giving birth to half genies who serve as guardians, caused things to change. As the towns and cities now only had their local half genies to guard them from danger now and no new ones would be born. Seeing how the ones who are born while being half genies, don’t have magic. Which meant the last generation of magical half genies guardians born before the lost of magic would be the last.
The court case ended up with Star while being the one who destroyed magic, wasn’t responsible. Her mother Moon and Mina had forced her hands and no one else was going to stop it before all the monsters would had been slaughtered. Shantae is grateful to Star for giving her back her mother to her.
Then there was the issue of Scratch the chairman of the Ghost World actually being a wraith and him wanting to merge with the husk of his real body. He named Dani to be the new chairman as she’s powerful enough to do the job. But with her being still a kid, Danny took the chairman role instead as he can handle it till Dani is ready to take the role.
Escorted by her new bodyguards Cissnei, and Elena, Sunset walks out of her office. As she does she looks over a message from Dream Castle resort, the Noceda family are being given the VIP treatment. Once word gets out to the Boiling Isles that the heroine who saved them stayed in one of her resorts, the free advertisement would pay off in the long run. And the rest of the Owl House party would be arriving in a few days. She already sent invites to the 3 girl’s families who were the ones who stop the robot frog army, for the same deal.
“Princess Sunset?” Mayor Mare ask who has been waiting all day for her appointment with Sunset.
“Oh yes I did had a meeting with you today,” Sunset said.
“Yes and the ponies of Ponyvile....,” Mayor Mare began saying but was stop as she was cut off.
“And I already told you that my decision stands. Seeing how you wouldn’t had done anything I had my guards round up the ponies responsible and handed them over to the human court system,” Sunset said.
“Please Princess if I could handle the matters I can give the ponies responsible their punishment,” Mayor Mare pleaded.
“I gave you a month and nothing, I know I had your office check and they found nothing of anything going to tracking down the ponies responsible for the destruction of the new homes being built. It was a good thing I had my own people looking into who started the fires, which they found in only a couple of days. I waited a month just so that all the proof of guilt was dug up before the ponies were all rounded up. Now the ponies are in the human court system seeing how you are unwilling to do anything just because human homes are being built in Ponyvile,” Sunset said.
“Princess please the ponies are just scared,” Mayor Mare said.
“And I don’t care as none of you have any choice in the matter. I’m the only thing holding Equestria as a kingdom together if you think things are bad try living outside of Equestria. Yes, I strip you ponies of many things but that was to make all races equal in my kingdom. Not just ponies having all the rights,” Sunset said.
“The ponies in Ponyvile are in a uproar over the arrests and that there are now those securitrons patrolling the town,” Mayor Mare said.
“Seeing how many towns have no law enforcement and seeing how you had no intention of pressing charges against the ponies who destroyed my building project. I'm making sure that my building projects are all being kept safe. Seeing how much money I have spent in modernizing Equestria and how little you ponies have done, I'm more then willing to force you all off of my lands and give them to races that actually will do something other then being scared of everything that's new and wanting things to be like they use to be,” Sunset said.
“What?” Mayor Mare ask shaken.
“The land that Ponyvile is on is still own by the crown. Mom never did sign the papers to give away the land so all of Ponyvile is own by me. Just like how she never gave the land to the Apples. In fact all the lands that ponies have built their homes on are all still on paper is owned by the crown. And seeing how racist you ponies are becoming in wanting no other races living next to you. I been thinking of just forcing all of you by gunpoint to all live in one place and giving the empty towns to other races. And leaving all of you ponies to fend for yourselves as you all think that you don't need anybody but ponies. So I'm going to let you all try without any support but yourselves," Sunset explains.
"How much is still owned by the crown?" Mayor Mare ask fearful.
"Just about everything, not counting the lands that I force ponies off of and give back to the races the ponies took it from in the first place. As for what's left I legally own just about all that's left of Equestria. Which I already made sure that the ownership is now falls to me and not mom, aunt Luna or Cadance, just me. So either do your job or I’ll just have all of you evicted from my land,” Sunset said.
“Yes princess,” Mayor Mare said leaving shaken.
"You’re really turning into a boss," Cissnei said.
"Showing no mercy at all," Elena adds.
"I'm tried of dealing with the whinnying ponies," Sunset said.
Sunset goes into the record room as her parents told her they'd met her there. But once she got there she only found the penguins. Confused, they explain how her parents had been helping them organize... when all of a sudden, they got BEYOND furious called her sisters together and they all went charging out of the castle.
Private hands the file they'd been looking at. Sunset looks it over... goes very pale and summons the guards, penguins, and robots to go after them.

The Maw -
Kuroko Smith sighed as she finished the paperwork, things were so much more simple back on her world. But when the UN saw how much more successful her world had been in getting monsters integrated with human society and bringing peaceful co-existence between human and monsters. So where many pre-merge organizations were disbanded. The Cultural Exchange Security Squad by contrast was given global authority over all things concerning human/monster relationships... and sweet mercy was she exhausted.
Her world already had alot of specialized technologies and societal institutions for the different races to come together. And after the merge happen her organization was able to deal with the problems that happen in Japan, on the most part anyways. All the magical girls who were now had no magic wasn't her department problem. She and her team were so busy in the first year of the merge keeping things in order. She didn't really even have time to mess around with Kimihito anymore! That was her favorite past time.
In any case she'd finally gotten the paperwork done to bring in her 'Monster Ops: Neutralization(or M.O.N. for short.) team' to work here at the states. Kimhito had done well adjusting here in this new world... his 'girls' on the other hand... she kept explaining to them how their 'sexy antic's' might have been 'okay' back in their rather hentai world... but here it was just awkward. She and her team needed a break from all the crazy that's happening in Japan, and not just from all the different monsters and non humans that had appeared.
Her team of the Commando, Zombina, (Living Dead or zombie). Sniper, Manako, (Monoeye/cyclopse). Infiltrator, Doppel, (Shapeshifter). Body Guard, Tionishia, (Ogre). All are still getting use to how things are done in the United States. They're mostly here to help with the ponies in integrating themselves in their new world. Not to mention in handing all the different races that have taken up living in the Maw, and dealing with the owner of the Maw, Mr. Davenport.
Mr. Davenport made deals to make the Maw into a tourist trap for visitors to see a unique place to visit. The Maw is still a maze of hallways and rooms that no one really knows its entire layout. Even with the new security force that now polices the Maw, there are still sectors that haven’t been explored yet. With the only operators, eyebots and Mr. Handies operating in the less populated areas of the Maw. Mainly to repair and maintain the entire structure and all the inner workings to keep the power and water flowing. Even with the Maw being connected to the power grid and water system of the area, Mr. Davenport still kept the old engines that are fueled by coal. Saying it's good to have a backup power supply, not to mention it would cost a lot of money to replace them.
There are also the Nomes that while some have taken in living outside, there are plenty left still living inside the Maw. Which no one really knows what to do with. People have been trying to help them but made no progress in changing them back to normal. The SCP has a research team in the Maw to study what kind of world the Maw came from.
"Hey boss we're back," said Zombina as she lead Manako, Doppel, and Tionishia.
"So how did it go?" Kuroko ask.
"Manako and Tionishia spent more time chasing and hugging the ponies then doing our job," Doppel said.
"Alright you two don't go next time," Kuroko said to the two.
"They were just so cute," Tionishia said.
"And colorful," Manako adds.
"We're supposed to be helping them to get use to this world. Not hug them," Kuroko said.
"Sunset did explain to us about how the ponies are like," Zombina said.
"I just didn't think all of them are such cowards and sissies," Doppel said.
"Sunset did say that the older ponies are a lost cause and to put more effort into the young ones instead," Kuroko said. (2)
“I see what she means,” Doppel said.
“The adults just scream and run around. Or just hide in their houses. The kids on the other hand are the only ones making any progress,” Zombina said.
"And here I thought coming to the states and handling the pony mess would be easier then what's happening back home," Kuroko said before thinking about it. "No forget I said that. This is easier then trying to explain to those girls that they can't just shout pervert and attack men. That Akane Tendo took going through shock therapy to stop her from just attacking anyone who even looks at her wrong. Then there's those two nutcases from the Hina's Inn case that completely refused to face reality and are now in jail."
"It took me pointing a gun to their faces and firing a bullet pass their ears to finally accept the idea that if they harm the owner in front of us I would shoot them dead," Zombina said.
"Which is why we're here. To get away from dealing with that," Kuroko said. (2)
"Now we deal with the crazy of Gravity Falls and trying to get those ponies to accept that in this world they're no longer in control of their world. And also dealing with their princess who is now a human alicorn with magical powers who looks down on the ponies. Who is very money hungry and very cheap as well. The castle is nice but it’s mostly was already there in the first place. All the new stuff she brought in is nothing more then stuff you find in a retail store," Doppel said.
"She does have to pay off all the loans she took out to improve Equestia," Tionishia said.
"And its not like she keeps tons of cash around just laying around. It's all tied up in investments and bonds. She's cash poor," Manako said.
"So she can't afford to buy expensive stuff or take a plane to Paris to shop," Kuroko said.
"She did come from a big family where the money was always tight," Zombina adds.

In Space -
Titan Station (Colloquially known as The Sprawl) was a civilian space station that was built into the last remaining fragment of Titan which was one of Saturn's moons and the site of the first planet crack. Titan Station itself encircled the Shard of Titan as a large metropolis with inner structures such as schools, malls, skyscrapers and a Unitologist church. The population of the station exceeded one million people. That was before the Necromorphs appeared and killed off all the people on the station. Which only ended after the Marker was destroyed, leaving behind a dead station.
"Come on we need to find all the shards!" XJ-9 said as she and her sisters scan the area where the marker use to be located.
After they found the station they learn all about what happen at the station and the alien marker that while a big power source also brings back dead flesh into nercromorphs and how the Unitologist church was behind the outbreak. So unleashing hundreds of operators and other robots built to work in space, they began gathering all the pieces of the marker and putting them into the recycler that broke down the shards. Even with the maker being dead and the power source of it being not in this world, they're not taking chances with it not making super zombies or drive people crazy.
They're even searching and destroying all records of the Unitologist church. So that no one would come across like a book and start the church here. Seeing how followers believe that becoming a zombie is the right thing to do, they're not taking any chances in some nut restarting the faith. Which is nothing but the maker brainwashing people to want to do what it wants. Which is just creating a giant moon size nercromorph that will devour all life across the galaxy just like the universe where the station came from.
"XJ-9 how is the clean up going?" Dr. Wakeman ask through the com link.
"In a couple of months there be no traces of the nercromorphs, the shards or anything to do with Unitologist," Jenny said.
"What about the USG Ishimura?" Wakeman ask.
"The same as there is no way I'm risking a zombie outbreak on Earth. But at least we brought back all the advance technology," Jenny said.
"The technology is very advance I would had like looking over the shard," Wakeman said.
"And you going crazy or someone else goes and builds one and starts a zombie plague?" Jenny ask.
"True," Wakeman said.
"How is Cassie doing?" Jenny ask.
Awhile ago a ship came to Earth with the crew being made up of Cassie Harrison, her father Derick Harrison and Marion the hamster. Cassie had hired Marion to find her father after pirates attack their ship, which after searching half the universe finally found him. But then the merge happen and all the old space ports they knew about were gone.
They ended up on a planet where a large spaceship had already crash landed on. The ship is name Aurora and one of the survivors of the crash had gathered resources and built a spaceship to escape the planet. Which he did only after going on a adventure where he release young Sea Emperor Leviathans to spread an enzyme that cures the kharaa bacterium that had infected much of the planet.
They also found the old seabase he built using the habitat builder which is a hand held fabricator. As well as the vehicles he also built, the Cyclops a large sub, the Seamoth a one man sub and the Prawn a underwater powersuit. Using the technology that's still in working order they used the Naptune Launch Platform to rebuild their ship, integrating all the technology that Marion had had 'picked' up here and there as well as the technology on the planet. Making the ship far more advance then it ever was before. The Ion Cubes that the ancient alien machine kept on creating after the cubes were harvested are what is powering their ship having created big Ion Power Cells that can just be recharged with solar power. They got to Earth and are now living on Talos 2 as they learned about their new home.
"I'm sure that my sister is taking care of her and her father. And those Cuddlefishes they brought with them," Wakeman said.
"You have no idea and just been studying the technology they brought with them," Jenny said. The scanner that the person who built everything on that would had lots of data on it which Wakeman has been going over.
"Well.... come back to Earth and leave the other robots to handle the clean up," Wakeman said quickly as she turns off the com.
"Got it," Jenny said contacting her sisters to return to Earth.

Camp Lakebottom -
Things were going normal at the camp as the campers were setting things up for a camp play. That was till several trees came to life thanks to spirits entering the trees, making them anthropomorphic. This scared the kids who all panic as the stage for the play was setup in a grove surrounded by trees. Mesa the tree woman recognized the trees as Cragglewoods. Tree spirits that used a park with the only ride being a carousel that transform any child who gets on it to become like them. Then the merge happen and the park was burn down but the spirits have been wandering around looking for a new place to recreate the park. (3)
"Wait a second," Ronnie said as she realized something. "If they can only takeover trees then how did they get children to go to the park?"
"They used magic to teleport the children there but now they're here they don't have that magic anymore," Mesa said who is standing with the other adults forming a barrier between them and the trees.
"And they only took little kids right?" Ronnie ask.
"Yes," Mesa said wondering what she's talking about.
"Well if they don't have magic and can only control the trees they're using for bodies. Then why are we scared of them?" Ronnie ask making everyone look at her. "They're trees and unlike Mesa they can move from where they're rooted." (4)
"It does explain why they go for young children," Mesa said seeing how the Cragglewood trees couldn't move from the spot they're root at.
"I'll handle this," Six said as she steps up and opens her mouth. The spirits of Cragglewood were pulled out from their tree host and were consumed by Six.
"When could you do that?" Ronnie ask Six.
"Learn it," Six answers.
"Hey where's Lincoln?" Ronnie ask looking around.
"Here," Lincoln said having fallen into the costume trunk and somehow gotten into a dress.
"Nice dress, suits you. After all your husbands are doing all the fighting," Max said, causing his fellow campers from Camp Campbell to laugh at Lincoln.
"At least he has a girlfriend," Dib said causing other kids to laugh at Max.
Ronnie and Six help Lincoln out of the trunk and the dress, with Six reminding them of her going to see Stump. Which Bill the swim teacher of the camp being the one who will be taking her to Scuttlebutt Island. Lincoln and Ronnie would be going with Six as Stump wanted to do a group thing for Six with those who she's close to. All three went into Lincoln’s cabin not noticing the door is different, the kids step inside and once the door close the door disappeared and replaced with the normal cabin door.

Gravity Falls Brighton -
Dipper, Twilight and Wendy had met up with Pacifica at an alleyway in the downtown area, Mabel also tagged along to see the curse door. Pacifica called about how Lincoln, Ronnie, and Six had just fell out a door that appeared out of nowhere. And that the doorway they all came out of shows nothing but a glowing portal, with Pacifica placing an empty water cooler bottle against the door to keep it from closing. They weren't the only ones who are there as Lincoln called the camp and Huntress Wizard drove into town to pick up the campers and Dib came along to see the portal. There is also Molly who is with her friends Andrea, Libby, Kat, Sheela, and Tammy. Along with Darryl who were nearby when Pacifica saw Lincoln and his girls coming out of the door.
"This is a curse door that randomly appears around Gravity Falls Brighton. The author of the journal writes that they ended up in a a desert and had to hitch hike all the way back. The doors only appear here, and you can end up anywhere. They remain open only as long as the door is open and will disappear after closing it," Dipper said reading from the book.
"So where does it go?" Wendy ask using a piece of cardboard to poke into the vortex inside the door. Dib is next to her scanning the doorway, with his pip-boy.
"I have no idea, but it will be somewhere in Gravity Falls Brighton or around it," Dipper said.
"Well, it's not magical in nature," Twilight said who didn't had her magic anymore after the pit thing, but she can detect it now.
"But what's on the other side?" Molly asked.
"Yeah, what's on the other side?" Mabel repeated.
"I can toss you in to see if it's safe for the rest of us," Wendy said.
"Hey!" Mabel said.
"I'm sending a drone to see," Dib said sending a drone into the portal. Dib open a holo screen showing what the drone is seeing.
On the screen looks to be a long white hallway. The drone is suddenly grabbed and a man in a suit with a floating faceless head is shown on the screen. Yelling could be heard and the sounds of running feet echoed in the hallway. The floating head man came walking out of the doorway, holding both the drone and one of those reusable shopping bags, closing the door behind him which disappeared once it was closed.
"Thanks for holding the door," the man greeted the gang lifting his hat as he did so.
"Hey, I know you," Dipper said having seen him in the background here and there. "I have been seeing you around, all summer."
"Yes, I have been here and there watching events as they unfold. I have been very entertained in your adventures over the summer," the man said.
"So, who are you?" Wendy asked.
"I'm Terrible Trivium," the man said.
"Aren't you the demon of trivial tasks and not important ones?" Huntress Wizard asked curiously earning her looks from the others. "I do have a life beyond archery."
"Yes, I am and I'm here to show you my thanks," Terrible Trivium said pulling out from the bag he's holding wrapped up bars of some kind, the wrapping has no label on it.
"What are these?" Dib asked.
"Oh, just some powers up, I took from some people. They randomly give anyone who eats them a power," Terrible Trivium said giving each of them a bar. (5)
"Wait why are you giving us this?" Dipper ask holding his bar.
"To show my thanks in keeping that door open," Terrible Trivium said.
"And what was that in that place you came from?" Mabel asked.
"I just took the only samples of the Adam experiment that worked. So now that group in the black market will forever repeat the experiment again and again hoping to get it right again but failing. Thanks to the fact I went and did something with the experiment to get it to work," Terrible Trivium said.
"He's the demon of trivial tasks and not important ones. Him doing this is something he will do. His kind of demon needs to have what they are to gain power. Like the more people believe in a god the stronger the god becomes," Huntress Wizard explains.
"Yes, I know I don't have to do this anymore but I do love to get my hands dirty again," Terrible Trivium said.
"Really you don't?" Dib asked.
"I use to need to get people to waste their time but in this modern age, has become the ultimate form of trivial tasks and not important ones is this age the internet age. People wasting time looking up completely unimportant information, people wasting time reading other people blogs, people wasting time looking for things to complain about. Wasting time trying to get likes instead of making something of themselves. Then there are the gamers, wasting time saving the world of a completely made-up world, and wasting so much time in completing tasks that have no impact on the game at all and just doing it to complete the game at 100%. So many wasted the best years of their lives goofing off and doing things that has no real importance. Like the kid in school who did nothing but goof off and be cool that after school they nothing and homeless once their parents kick them out. So much wasted just for stuff that doesn't matter in the long run. The best thing is that I don't have to do anything as they're just doing it themselves," Terrible Trivium said. (6)
"He's right," Dib said thinking about his world and how it rewarded deadbeats.
"Enjoy your powers," Terrible Trivium said walking away.
"Ok so what do we do with these?" Lincoln asked looking at the bar in his hands. On one hand he'll be getting powers, on the other he doesn't know what it will do to him.
"I'll test them first to make sure... Hey!" Dib said looking at Mabel who is eating hers.
"What?" Mabel asked with everyone looking at her.
"Mabel you have no idea what that will do to you," Dipper said.
"Blow?" Mabel said suddenly.
"What?" Dipper asked.
"Blow, the word just pop in my head," Mabel said.
"I know you have the power of blowing!" Luz shouted out.
"Cool!" Mabel said as she filled up with air as she took a deep breath and blew. Which while she did blew hard enough for all of them to feel it, that was it.
"Looks like you do have blowing powers but seeing how you can only hold so much air in your lungs. That's as hard as you can blow," Dib said.
"Awwww," Mabel said disappointed in the power she got.
"Might as well see what happens," Wendy said as she takes a bite out of her own bar.
"Well?" Pacifica asks.
"Don't feel different...," Wendy said before she starts hearing a word. "Ram?"
"You gain the power of ramming?" Ronnie ask.
"I got it. The powers are based around a word," Lincoln said having read enough comics.
"My turn," Dipper said taking a bite from his bar. "Fix."
"Oh good one," Wendy said.
Lincoln eats his bar. "Dumb?"
Six joins him in eating hers. "Cling?"
Ronnie joins them as well. "Soup?"
Pacifica eats hers as well. "Cloud?"
Twilight was next. "Astral?"
"Dib was next. "Boost?"
Molly was next. "Friendship?"
Andrea was next. “Fragile?”
Libby was next. “Barrier?”
Kat was next. “Clean?”
Sheela was next. “Honey?”
Tammy was next. “Slide?”
Darryl was next. “Find?”
And Huntress Wizard. "Cook? At least, I can help out in the kitchen at camp."
"If these powers are anything like the ones in One Piece, there isn't any bad powers, just bad users," Lincoln said.
"So if I train myself, I can really blow," Mabel asked.
"You already blow," Wendy smirks.
"Thanks," Mabel said before she got it. "Hey!"

Equestria -
Sunset looks over the place that would had been her home if her birth parents hadn’t given her up. She stands with her guards and robots to put a stop to her mom’s rampage, that usually has her and her sisters grabbing their mom trying to hold her back. Which is why she brought so many guards and robots. But that wasn’t what they found. They found the ponies of the town gathered around her human family with them talking with her pony birth family.
The place they’re at is a cold god forsaken place called Nibblet, a small village that was setup by Earth Ponies who wanted nothing to do with magic. The town if you could call the shacks that made up the town a town was a sad sight to see. All poorly built and hardly kept the elements out. Thanks to how hard it was for them to get supplies and goods from the outside world. With their only contact being a trader now and then.
The farmland that surrounded the town was overworked and barren. When the rains came, they soaked in and stayed. Even when the surface was dry and cracked, just beneath was sodden. They never went thirsty, but they couldn’t grow any crops that wouldn’t rot before they reached maturity. And that was before they lost their plant growing magic. And the deaths rate of the village skyrocket to the point where there is only around a hundred or so left.
“So, this is where I was born,” Sunset said turning her gaze to her pony birth parents.
Her mother and father are much skinnier and smaller than their human counterparts. As for her pony sisters, they’re all long since left the village to find a better life. The ones who stayed are buried in the family graveyard behind their shack, which has been expanded over the years as more and more children are born. The sight of their pony counterparts and how they live took the bloodlust from her human parents.
“We gave you up, so you have a better life,” her birth father said.
“Our community wouldn’t accept you and it was for the best that you grew up elsewhere,” her birth mother said.
“This is a toxic community. And not because this is a natural bog. The only reason why you all managed to survive this long in this fetid and lamented bog, was because of earth magic. Now with no magic the land has become a toxic quagmire thanks to the runoff from the chicken, pig and cow farms near here. It’s that the ponies refuse to change their ways to make their standard of life to be better. Refusing the supplies that I been sending to help improve things,” Sunset said.
“This is our town, and we don’t need your help,” an elder said.
“And none of your business,” the mayor of the town said.
“Actually, seeing how the land you’re all living on is owned by the crown which is me. And seeing how this town isn’t producing anything this place is a uselessvile. So I’m just having you all evicted from my land,” Sunset said.
“You’re going to force us out of our homes?” an elder ask.
“Of course not. I’m leaving that to the police force to do it. And you all have no choice as I see that you have no supplies coming in and only been eating wild plants to survive this long. And from the number of buildings abandon ponies either left or died. You all won’t survive another winter and I refuse to give you ponies food and get nothing in return. So, I’m giving you all no choice but to leave by force and all of these buildings be torn down,” Sunset said and turns to her party. “Come we”re heading back.”
“Sunset wait,” her pony birth mother said.
“There is nothing to say. I am grateful for you and father for giving me a better life then you could give me. What I can’t forgive now knowing why you gave me up. Is that if this village hates magic so much that already cost you many of my pony sisters because of one thing or another that magic could had done something to help. Why didn’t you just move?” Sunset asks.
“This is our home,” her pony father said.
“And that matters... why? You don’t have enough food to keep all of my pony sisters alive. They left a long time ago and the ones who didn’t are all buried. And seeing how I ended up in Canterlot where Celestia made me her daughter, shows that you two could had travel to another village and made that place your home. So why didn’t you do it? Staying here where most of my sisters died because there wasn’t enough food? Is this place really worth your children lives?” Sunset asks.
Both of her birth parents just shut their mouths and couldn’t even look at her.
“That’s what I thought,” Sunset said before walking away from her birth parents who couldn’t do what was best for all of their children. Which is why they’re all alone as they all left their foolish parents behind.

Author's Note
1 - You'll be surprised how much money you can make recycling.
2 - Seeing how crazy most of all the mangas and animes are completely crazy and most of the cast live in their own worlds. Japan would be completely crazy with all of them brought together.
3 - SCP-2571
4 - A plant monster like a living tree is something to worry about. But if the plant is rooted to the ground and can't move from that spot. Then all you need to do is keep out of range of any long range attacks or the reach of the limbs and vines.
5 - SCP-2923
6 - Having time off to relax and have fun is one thing but wasting your life when you are young just to have your golden years in school and still living with your parents, is another. It's one thing to be still living at home and working, where you help around the house and pay the bills. It's another to be jobless and living at home because you’re a deadbeat with no future but being homeless and living on the street as you have no grades, qualifications or any motivation to actually work or drive to do something that could get you a job or start your own business.
