Opening Song

Silver Stable retirement Community; a once completely Equestrian old folks home. It now held so much more since the merge. And with help of the newly hired Fix-it Felix Junior, they'd been able to expand even more. Many of the residents were watching either the forest, or Felix building more homes for Simon to move people to, from the Maw. Felix had been busy as there's a huge demand for his magic hammer that fixes anything with a tap, which only works for him and no one else. Plenty of people had already tried to used it and its only a normal hammer in anyone else's hands.

"To the meatloaf! AWAY!" Shouts the elderly superhero Mermaid man as he and only slightly younger 'sidekick' Barnacle Boy swooped up to the cafeteria as dramatically as their hips would allow.

Both of them had moved far from the sea after what happen with Sponge Bob and Patrick. Thanks to them selling off their superhero equipments and the number of villain equipments they had picked up here and there over the years. Both of them have plenty of money to live off of for the rest of their lives. Which is also why they're no longer small anymore but full size humans. The shrink ray on Mermaid Man's belt was finally reversed thanks to Ms. Wakeman figuring out how it works. And both of them ending up moving to Canterlot both for being far from the sea and them not standing out as they would otherwise.

"To the table! AWAY!" shouts Mermaid man once more as he again rushed as quickly as his meds would allow to the table.

"Wait for me, consarn it!" shouted his young(ish) ward as he tries to keep up with him.

Former librarian Dusty Pages was nearby telling everyone how one of her favorite library patrons found an overdue book... but did NOT freak out. She calmly paid the fine, allowed her plaque to be removed without issue, called her up at a time of her convenience and had a good long talk that she felt benefited them both. Dusty praised the influence of her new friends.

Nearby, a very withered and decrepit cat was in a wheel chair filled with life-support tubes, is sitting outside staring at the nearby woods. The reason why the orange furred cat is bound to a wheel chair is because of him missing his lower half of his body starting from where his pelvis would had been and only kept alive thanks to the tubes replacing his pelvis parts. Is patiently listening to a short, green, wrinkly, old guy babble nonsense.

"One day I was walking and I found this big log. Then I rolled the log over. And underneath was a tiny little stick. And I was like, "That log had a child!" the old guy exclaimed.

Cat rolled his eye's, "Whatever you say buddy."

Cat couldn’t help but remember his past as he listen to the nonsense the old guy is talking about. Making him remember about his brother Dog and why he’s no longer connected to him anymore. Dog for years just did what he wanted and caused destruction, harming people with that smile on his face as he does so. While he gets blame for all the things that Dog did, which continued for years. Then one day did finally did his final mess which caused the complete destruction of their town of Nearburg, which unlike all the other times before many people were killed. Also unlike before the surviving people knew that Dog was to blame for everything. They came for Dog who up to the point where they were cut in half, thought everyone was there for a party. Cat could still remember as Dog was carried away to be burn at a stake for all the destruction and deaths he caused. Dog called out for Cat to do something and just get him out of the mess he got himself into, so that he'll be able to continue to have fun.

At the moment Cat realized that his brother only saw him as something to allow him to have all the fun he wants and never have to take the blame for. Cat just crawled to Lola's birdhouse where she treated him saving his life.

Since coming to this world, he's already used his experience to convince a younger version of himself to ditch Dog and live his own life. Which had both Catdog being cut in half and given lower body parts thanks to Membrane labs doing the operation. Which Mr Membrane did for free as he wanted to test it out to see if he could do it, and used what he learn to save lives for people who are cut in half.

Last he heard from his younger counterpart. He has become a manager of a bank which he started out as a teller before climbing the ladder. As for Dog he ended homeless after being sued for all the damages he caused, thanks to Cat moving out of their old house. Dog finally learned that he can’t just do anything he wants and nothing bad will ever happen to him. But now that he’s homeless and has no real job skills, he really doesn’t have that bright of a future to look forward to. Cat enjoyed helping his younger self find happiness... but he wished their was another opportunity to spread his knowledge, make his life and suffering MEAN something. To do good in this life... before his final breath.

And then the music started...

Darkening skies
Coming this way
Falling behind
Into nothing

Mermaidman paused in his meal annoyed.

"Dang hippies and their new age hornswoggle! CUT THAT RACKET! I'M TRYING TO EAT MY MEATLOAF!" He shouted suddenly.

But if you lead I will follow
A thousand miles away
I will be your Apollo
Alone in outer space

Although crippled, a curious Cat's ears will still able to pick up the source of the noise...

Satellite
Shine on me tonight
I will be your gravity
I will stay and never leave
My satellite
Are you here tonight?
Shine your light and set me free
Take the darkness out of me
Shine on me

Yes, if cat didn't miss his guess... this had the tell-tale marks of a pony 'heartsong'.

Shine on me

Blinded I wait
The end is forming
You are my fate
Give me warning

If you lead I will follow
A thousand miles away
I will be your Apollo
Alone in outer space

And considering such a thing was a mystical resonance that came from one's very heart and soul.

Satellite
Shine on me tonight
I will be your gravity
I will stay and never leave
My satellite
Are you here tonight?
Shine your light and set me free
Take the darkness out of me
Shine on me

Shine on me

...either the person singing was REALLY into satellites...

Far across the emptiness I walk the night
And search the silence in the dark you left behind
I seek the stars above the worlds to be the guides
But they are pale against the light in your eyes

In your eyes

...Or they were really LOST... in more ways then one...

And I won't suppose to know why you walked away
But I can feel you pushing through beyond the space
So send your energy to me and I'll push through
Send your signal home and bring me back to you

Satellite
Shine on me tonight
I will be your gravity
I will stay and never leave
My satellite
Are you here tonight?
Shine your light and set me free
Take the darkness out of me
Shine on me

Well, this would be interesting...

Shine on me

Dipper Pines finishes the song just as he leaves the woods... a mix of shame, contemplation, despair and confusion on his face as he randomly ambles about.

“How did you sing a heartsong without a pony nearby?” Dusty Page ask.

Dipper still looking a bit lost and wrapped up in his own world, speaks without really paying attention. “Wha? Oh, the plot device showed me how.”

Plot device suddenly pops out of nowhere from behind a tree. “Hello!”

“Hello plot device,” all the elders said except Mermaid man who just looked annoyed at all the interruptions.

“Listen, boy. Someday when you are older. You could get hit by a boulder. While you're lying there Screaming, "Come help me please!" The seagulls poke your knees,” the little wrinkly, green guy said.

“Wha?” Dipper ask finally getting out of his own head a bit.

“Ignore him, he's off his meds. Anyway, penny for your thoughts?“ Cat said.

Dipper's eye's widen as he FINALLY becomes aware of his surroundings and apologizes to the elders.

Cat waves it off and points out he looks like he's got something on his chest.

Now ordinarily Dipper would never tell something so personal to a stranger. But frankly he had so much emotional baggage right now. That plus his exhaustion... also it was hard to feel threatened by a cripple in a wheelchair that had tubes coming in and out of where his scrotum should go.

!

Flashback -

So Dipper tells him how yesterday; he, Twilight, Wendy and Soos had found a weird mailbox in the middle of nowhere deep in the woods that would answer ANY question.

Excited, they immediately contacted Sunset. Who in turn contacted many others. Discord with his camera crew at hand explain that this is something that's rare that even his game buddies only heard about. The being is like a seer or an oracle who can answer any question and never lies. And also any answer the mailbox gives about the future can be change, which Discord wrote that question on a note and gave it to the mailbox which answered that any answer it gives about future events can be changed. Soon the place was swarmed with important people and others who desperately needed help. (1)

Doctors who wanted to know incurable diseases...

Politicians who wanted a way to stabilize all the problems caused by the merge...

Mothers and fathers who wanted to know where their missing children are...

Sunset wanted to know what to do with Celestia...

Celestia who wanted to know what to do to be the mother Sunset had needed her to be...

Star wanted to know if there was anything to be done to bring her family back together again...

Moon wanting to know how to earn her family forgiveness...

Raz wanted to know how to restore the Psychounauts to their former glory... and get over his Auquaphobia...

Lilly wanted to find her dad...

Six wanted to know more about her past...

Twilight wanted to how she should handle her old herd...

Jenny had a whole list of questions regarding a bunch of euclid class SCP's she has contained.

Dipper was curious about the Author of the Journals of course... and the flashes...

He'd already demonstrated it's capabilities to satisfy everyone that it would work and they were negotiating who gets to use it. But Soos went and just asked the mailbox how best to get everyone’s question answered. And the answer was to line up behind Soos with their written question in hand. Which cause a mad dash where everyone with a question to line up behind Soos, with first come first serve rule in effect and no cutting in line.

Dipper who had a note pad and pen in hand stood by the mailbox writing the question for those who stood in line if they didn’t had anything to write with. People only got to ask one question so that the line wouldn’t be held up. And people had their questions answered with some getting back in line. That’s when Mable snuck in and thought it would be a good idea to mail a video of her putting gummie worms up her nose. Thinking that the mailbox was just a mailbox.

Naturally, this offended the entity in charge of the mailbox. They then immediately smithed the mailbox and vowed to never help humanity again.

This... needless to say made many people angry. And Mable didn't help things by shrugging off what happened as if it was no big deal... and then try to 'entertain' everyone by sticking a gummie worm up her nose. Dipper was forced to take her away quickly before the now forming angry mob got her.

Using the old twin trick, he used Mable's spare clothes to make the mob think he was Mable and lure them away as Mable made a break for it. Although this worked for Mable... it lead to him being chased around non-stop all night through the woods without rest. Not helping he also was attack by forest creatures that only came out at night to hunt.

Finally, he was able to get back to the Shack after losing the forest creatures out for his flesh. When he got there Mable seemed nice enough and made breakfast for him... but she laughed off all the injuries he got being attacked by the creatures of the forest he ran into. And clearly she didn't feel she did anything wrong and everyone else just overreacted.

Dipper knew Mable was just more oblivious then insensitive... still... if not for the food she made and how exhausted he was...well, anyway it was NOT a good way to start the day. He could say that much.

Somehow, after the meal they started playing games with Soos... he started to feel better after a bit, he was on a winning streak. And then... out of nowhere... Soos pointed out how Mable was slightly bigger then Dipper.... and things went downhill from there...

Mable just kept laping up, teasing him, taunting him...mocking him. And... then... it all just sorta hit me at once... everything that had happened... everything he'd done for her... everything he would've done for her if the situation had been different... every bad thing that had happened this summer... every life or death situation... and... then-

CRACK!

And just like that... Mable was on the ground... she had a black eye... and she was looking at Dipper in disbelieving shock...

Dipepr was speechless... Soos was speeches... Mable was speechless...

"Uh... I think I need to... I just remembered I have to... I think Mr. Pine's told me to... I need to go!" Soos said nervously, while slowly backing out of the room and with that he runs out of the room.

"...Dipper...why?" Mable ask sounding hurt and confused.

"You can't be that dumb! Think of why I would punch you in your stupid face or why those people who from yesterday had wanted to beat you," Dipper said as he walks out of the shack.

!

Present -

Dipper finishes his tale and groans... he knows hitting Mable was the wrong thing to do... but he was just so tired of her crap. Never listening to him, never taking things seriously, always assuming SHE'S right, that SHE knows best. Never taking responsibility for her actions and expecting HIM to clean up after her.

Worse, he had another flash. Even in the timeline where he let Wendy get hurt and be with that jerk Robbie to win her dang pig, she STILL would've mocked and ridiculed him for his height! After everything he did for her! She still didn't take him seriously! In EITHER timeline! Dipper... Dipper didn't know what to do... before coming to Gravity Falls... all her little quirks made her so lovable... so fun... so MABLE. But now... now things were different... and he didn't really know how to deal with that.

"Look kid... I don't want to badmouth family love or anything like that. Family can be just as varied and different as people. No two are alike. I'm sure their are many loving families out there that are very happy together... but that being said... also just like people... some are good... and some are just bad," Cat said

Cat tells him about his brother Dog. How dysfunctional their relationship was. He was the enabler and Dog was the co-dependent. Cat did everything to keep food on the table, a roof over their heads, power and water running. Dog on the other hand did nothing to earn his keep, sure he help now and then but mostly he was just a sponge. The reason why Cat was stuck with Dog was because they were conjoined twins.

Cat had to deal with Dog only thinking about himself for years and now caring at all about how much pain he puts his brother through. Like how they learn that whatever one does to his teeth affects the other's instead. Which Dog didn't care at all about how much pain he's doing to Cat's teeth and when Cat started to treat his teeth badly Dog acted like he didn't do anything wrong. Or the time he let their home burn down, not letting the fire department use the hydrant because another dog used it. Then there was the time he and a bunch of others went and peed on him while he was holding onto a golden hydrant.

Cat also tells Dipper how any relationship is a two way street. And he tells him the parable of the two bridge builders.

There were two bridge builders who were assigned one side of the bridge to build. One builder made his side an extravagant masterpiece a marvel of engineering. Everyone was in awe of it, come opening day they all drove through... and fell to their deaths. The other bridge builder never even started his side of the bridge!

"See, it doesn't matter how strong and committed your side of a relationship, if the other side won't even TRY. Then your relationship is as useless as a one side bridge," Cat said.

"...takes two to tango," Dipper said stunned.

"Ah, now your getting it...," Cat smirks grimly.

Cat also told him the many times he SHOULD had broken off ties with his brother Dog. But out of family love... he did not. Not to say Dog never did anything to help Cat or anything like that. Like reminding Cat that no matter what he'll always have a brother. Or doing all the work for the get rich quick idea that Cat thought up. Like running on a treadmill to generate power to the point he's able to power an entire town alone. But those moments were just too far and few.

"Wow... it's almost like those relationships where wives who get beaten by their husbands are willing to stay by there side and lie for them to keep them out of trouble. Or those relationships where it's the other way around where the wife henpecks her husband and is emotional abusive," Dipper said.

"Good metaphors... I would've also accepted Stockholm syndrome," Cat said as he nods impressed.

Although Cat made some good points, Dipper is till conflicted... he still loves Mable dearly. And before coming to Gravity Falls, they were inseparable and had such good times together, they always had each others back. Despite everything... he was reluctant to throw that all away.

"Maybe all the dozens of 'friends' she makes on a daily basis are really more acquaintance then friends... but... really, 95% of the time she's a good person," Dipper said.

Cat looks thoughtful before speaking. "...is it safe to assume that the other 5% is all the IMPORTANT things in life, life-or-death situation, growing-up to face certain challenges, etc?"

Dipper also looks thoughtful before speaking. "...maybe?"

"Kid, although quantity can have a quality of it's own I think we both agree that lately that hasn't been the case. Quite the opposite, really...," Cat said shaking his head sadly.

"I guess. It does seem all the things that are important to me is just a joke to her," Dipper said still conflicted.

"Look kid... think of it like this. Is your relationship REALLY doing her any favors?" Cat said.

"How do you mean?" Dipper ask confused.

"Look, you told me about that... vision... that flash, where your sister was unemployed crazy cat lady?" Cat said.

"Yeah?" Dipper said giving him a cautious but curious look.

"Well how do you think she got that way? She obviously never grew up... and why would she need to? With you there to baby her, there's no need. She never got a job... again, why would she need to? She mooches off of you for everything. Constantly causes problems with the law? Once more, why would she need to care about the rules? You clearly shield her from consequences. Like I did with my brother Dog," Cat said.

Dipper was stunned, he'd never thought that before.

"I know it's hard... but sometimes you gotta be cruel to be kind. You need to rob Paul to pay Peter. And above all... sometimes to best thing for someone you love? Is to set them free," Cat said putting a comforting paw on his shoulder.

Dipper doesn't know what to say.

"Look kid... look at me. I have nothing below my waist, I shit in a tube. My money is gone. And my doctor says I have maybe a couple years at most before I go on to the big litter box in the sky and I have NOTHING to show for it. No accomplishments, no great deeds, no family of my own... my life was a wreck... and as easy as would be to blame it all on my brother. But I share a part of the blame as well for allowing things to go that far," Cat said.

"My future self was alone," Dipper said remembering how clear it was that his future self didn't had anyone but Mable in his life.

Cat gives him a stern look. "Don't be like me kid. Don't cling to the past, look to the future. Be your own person, your own man. BUILD your own future, your OWN family."

"I need to think about this," Dipper said.

"I understand," Cat said nodding.

Bursting out of the tree line is Wendy in her deer form. She's been following Dipper's scent after learning from Soos what happen. In her deer form Wendy is able to detect scents and track them, not to mention that as a Deer woman she's able to track the scent of any male she sets her sights on, namely Dipper.

"There you are Dipper! We've been looking all over for you! Me and Twilight were worried sick!" Wendy shouted out loudly that once more annoys a still eating Mermaid man.

Wendy tells how she and Twilight bumped into Soos as he was leaving and he told everything. They ran in and angrily berated Mable for mocking Dipper after everything he did for her. Mable said she just wanted to enjoy winning something for once. But the girls weren't having it! True, Dipper kept tallies of his victories and made the occasional causal comment. He never TEASED her, mocked her, belittled her, ridiculed her in a way that he KNEW would make her feel bad!

With Twilight telling Mable coldly that, 'It's called being a good winner Mable, do yourself a favor and look it up!'

The yelling got so bad, Stan had to intervene and force them out.

Suddenly Mermaid Man had had enough of the noise. Mermaid Man stands up annoyed. Getting the attention of everyone.

"Listen up you villains! I'm trying to eat my meatloaf! If you don't get out of here right now...," he gives out a salute. "Then by the power invested in me... I hereby pronounce you man and wife!"

"WHAT!?" Wendy and Dipper ask blushing.

An orderly bursts through the door. "What is going on in here!?"

Mermaid Man looks to orderly and points at Dipper. "You may kiss the bride!"

"Oh,mercy! My stitches will pop!" Cat said while laughing and looks to orderly, who's eyeing the two trespassers annoyed one a boy the another a deer. "It's okay Lou, they're with me."

"Mr. Cat although it's nice to see you have visitors for once. You know all visitors have to sign in and notify us in advance," Lou said.

"Uh, that's fine. We probably should be leaving anyway," Dipper said.

"Hop on," Wendy said allowing Dipper to get onto her back.

"Hey kid!" Cat said as he tosses them a flask and Dipper caught. "Those ninjas may have messed up royally, but they got one thing right! If you're old enough to get killed, you're old enough to drink."

"Thanks," Wendy said while Dipper just looks dumbfounded. Wendy took off with Dipper on her back.

"Mr. Cat we've talked about your booze, it's not healthy," Lou said groaning.

Cat just rolls his eyes in response.

"Right, what a shame if my couple of years of life gets slashed!" Cat said sarcastically. "Besides, what booze? I just gave it away, you saw."

Lou shakes his head and leaves.

Cat waits for him to leave. Then pulls out another flask and gives a toast in the boys general direction.

!

As Wendy and Dipper help themselves to the hooch, Dipper gets more and more bolder and starts to sing.

Under the knife I surrendered
The innocence yours to consume
You cut it away
And you filled me up with hate
Into the silence you sent me
Into the fire consumed
You thought I'd forget
But it's always in my head

Dipper remembers how Mable ignored him about Norman and how they both nearly died because of it...

You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?

Dipper remembers Mable throwing out his cameras into the lake...

This is the world you've created
The product of what I've become
My soul and my youth
Seems it's all for you to use
If I could take back the moment
I let you get under my skin
Relent or resist?
Seems the monster always wins

Dipper remembers Mable accusing him of being a pervert when he saved Wendy's life...

You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take
Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?
From the monster you made me?

Dipper remembers his tongue almost cut out because Mable wouldn't listen to him about Gideon...

My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul
I'll lift you up and then I'll let you go
I've made an art of digging shallow holes
I drop the darkness in and watch it grow
My heart's an artifice, a decoy soul
Who knew the emptiness could be so cold?
I've lost the parts of me that make me whole
I am the darkness
I'm the monster

Dipper remembers Tyrone dying just because Mable wouldn't listen to him... again.

You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage
Can you change me?
Can you change me?
You're the love that I hate
You're the drug that I take

Dipper remembers Mable demanding Waddles... no matter the cost...

Will you cage me?
Will you cage me?
You're the pulse in my veins
You're the war that I wage

He remembers a grown woman breakdown in sobs as the mailbox is destroyed... her son was abducted years ago... this had been her one chance to find him...

Can you change me?
Can you change me?
From the monster you made me?

"LITTLE DIPPER!" Mocked Mable with a laugh...

The monster you made me?
The monster you made me?
The monster you made me?

Dipper, emboldened by alcohol... nods. He was going to do it! He was going to march up there and disown Mable!

Wendy drops him in front of the shack and went off to change into her spare clothes she left around the shack. Dipper marches into their room... and his courage leaves him... he finds a sobbing Mable... she runs over to hug him and apologizes for teasing him. Dipper loses his nerve completely and hugs back... and apologizes for hitting her.

But although Mable feels better... Dipper... Dipper remembers... he remembers it all.

!

Elsewhere -

Slenderman watches it all annoyed... and gives out a sigh.

"Oh, well... the bonds of their sibling hood were still strained... and it's too early for the finale anyway... ah, frack with it! Let's just call it a day and have an adventure already!" He snaps his fingers and reality adjusts accordingly.

!

Back at the shack -

The 'awkward sibling' hug is interrupted by Twilight texting to Dipper. Apparently she thought about the flashes Dipper had when he saw the hands of time and then there was the whole deal with Thrax. She cross-referenced it with the journal pages that she copied and found a place of crystals that could alter size itself. And she feels they should go investigate immediately.

"Crystals that can make you bigger or smaller? Let's go!" Mable said.

Dipper was about to tell her to come along... but once more all the memories of all the times she'd wronged him came up. Including of the one yet to be. That ends up with her just telling Gideon about the flashlight crystal which he used on them.

"Sorry but both Wendy and Twilight are still mad at you. Not to mention just about everyone around here because of the mailbox. So you better lay low for a couple of days," Dipper said leaving before Mable could retort.

Leaving Mable alone as she looks down to the ground sadly.

!

Elsewhere -

Spike is making food for Ember and Smolder. He fondly remembers back when he was a runt and how the other female dragons would act sexy to get him to pop out his teeny weeny and laugh at him. And Ember and Smolder would yell at them to knock it off. Then playfully give his wick a poke... which always left him conflicted.

And then he had his growth spurt... in both height and... GIRTH.

He walks to the table to give them food of roasted meat. Smolder puts down a paper that says 'Famous inventor and dog uses techno trouser deluxe to escape Great Britan during Rat deluge. Both Wallace and Grommit have become quite famous in England thanks to all the inventions they make on their own tv show.

"What's the matter Spike?" Ember ask seeing Spike looking down.

"I was just thinking of how Twilight doesn't take me anywhere anymore. Now she spends time with the beaver brothers, Stump, Dipper and Wendy," Spike said.

"Spike she just made new friends and you do need to learn how to be a dragon," Smolder said.

"Yeah like how female dragons only start laying eggs when we're over a hundred and fully grown," Ember said.

"Really?" Spike ask.

"Yup which is why none of the female dragons that have been teasing you. Don't have to worry about laying eggs seeing how they're not fully grown," Smolder said.

"So we young dragons have nothing to worry about till we're over a 100," Ember said.

"Why are you telling me this?" Spike ask sweating.

"Well knowing that, you don't have to worry about knocking up any female dragon up till we're all much older," Smolder said.

"I don't want to do any of that," Spike said.

"You did just had your growth spurt so it does that awhile for your body to fully change to that of a dragon of your age," Ember said.

"And just to let you know. We female dragons have nothing against sharing a mate," Smolder said.

"Well some of us anyways. Mom doesn't like to share," Ember said.

"Right," Spike said wondering how much more he needs to learn about being a dragon.

!

In the forest -

Wendy and Dipper join with Twilight and they began searching for the crystals. Dipper using his flash forward memories guided them deep into the forest. Twilight also used reports on either giant or small animals to give them an idea which area of the forest to search. Dipper remembering where the crystals are lead Twilight and Wendy to the place where the crystals are. And instead they found a large lego continent in a crater filled with water, with what looks like an evil villain volcano lair near a lego city.

The lego continent is very large being that size of a big building, like a Walmart building in size. And the lego continent is also in the shape of a dragon. And it has it's own ecosystem that is all made out of lego. Which from what they can make is having trouble. Using powerful magnifying binoculars they see the trouble.

During the merge many worlds were fused together as one, but some of those worlds there was a huge size difference. The lego continent is home to many of the worlds that came very small. There are the native locals of the lego world, ninjas from Ninjago, and the Bionicles. There are also the natives from other small worlds, ants from the world of 'A Bug's Life', the ants from 'ANTZ', ants from 'Ant Bully', the Minimoy's from 'Arthur and the Invisibles' and the pikmin from 'Pikmin'. They all found themselves on the continent of ninjago as it had been forcibly crashed on top of the size changing crystals during the merge.

They were being attacked on all sides, not just the pikmin monsters Amphituber, Antenna Beetle, Arachnorb, Armored Cannon Beetle, Bulborb, Burrowing Snagret, etc. But also from the army of the tyrant Malthazar. And that's not going into all the other native insects wanting a piece of them. Not to mention there are the bigger life forms that appear now and then like the birds and lizards that wanted to eat them. (2)

The sapient bugs have been having a hard time adjusting, they were so use to a kid-friendly world where the insects aren't constantly eating or killing each other. The Minimoy have been helping them adjust as they had to deal with that kind of life already. They been using the pikmin to help defend the lego world from all the attacking forces. Who use the dead insects to make more of them when they're not being eaten by the other organic lifeforms living on lego land. Since everything is made out of plastic, the organic life of lego land had to search for food around the forest around their new home. Which the Minimoy's lead the ants and other sapient bugs on hunting and gathering parties for both food, water and anything that they could use.

Then there are the natives of the lego land, who unlike their new organic friends don't have to worry about being eaten by the native lifeforms around them. Nothing wanted to eat them and using their advance lego technology they built giant fighting robots to fight off the many wild native life forms that wanted to eat their new friends. The ninjas may not have elemental powers anymore, but they still can do the Cyclone of creation and other master builder related skills. There are also the newly reformed Serpentine tribes also lend a hand. And over the year since they came to this world they managed to scare off most of the dangerous animals who learn to stay away from lego land. Not to mention thanks to the sea that was already around the lego land, rain and snow. Created a watery barrier around the lego land keeping the native bug and animals from getting to the lego land stuck in the middle. The only way to cross the water is either by boat or flying.

But that was till a couple of months ago before a new army came to the forest. Lead by two robots that escape with an army of Fmeks. The Fmeks were a species native to the planet Fmoo and were the enemies of the Arquillians and the M.I.B. Their planet was destroyed when they tried blowing up the Arquillian's planet. A large number of them were imprison by the M.I.B. after trying to takeover Earth but after the merge happen the M.I.B. suddenly found themselves dealing with bigger problems.

During the confusion after the M.I.B. failed to mind wipe everyone and they were disbanded, replaced by S.C.P. with the agents who weren't let go being spread out around the new agency. The Fmeks imprison escape with the aid of their new allies who were on their way of escaping on their own when they came across the small aliens. And after raiding the supply closest and using a golf cart escape into the forest that surrounded the prison they were kept. That turned out to be located in Oregon.

The robots who act as leaders of the Fmeks and protect them from animals that wanted to eat them. The first is Killgore, who is a diminutive wind-up toy robot with a tag that reads “VILLAIN” attached to his head. Nearly everyone in Tremorton found Killgore adorable, despite Killgore constantly trying to convince them and himself that he is an evil and powerful villain. After Jenny broke ties with Tremorton and her mother/creator she caught Killgore and gave him over to SCP. Who were interested in how a wind-up toy became self-aware.

Then there is SCP-1370 or Pesterbot who is a self-aware artificial being constructed from various electrical devices and tools. It stands approximately one meter in height and is capable of moving its articulated joints despite the lack of any power source or motors. SCP-1370 communicates in a monotone voice via a speaker mounted in its chest.

Its head is a voltmeter soldered upside down to a neck joint, giving the appearance of a friendly smile, but containing no active sensory devices. However, SCP-1370 will react to visual and audible stimuli, and its ability to do so is hampered when the head is covered or otherwise restrained. Its design appears to give more importance to aesthetic concern rather than function, as evidenced by a poor center of gravity that hampers its ability to balance and walk.

After the golf cart lost power the two robots had the Fmeks build a sledge for Pesterbot to pull with the supplies they stole from the prison. While in the woods they came across two giant lego people with vehicles and mechs who are the size of humans. The two told them about size changing crystals that are underneath a lego land and where they came from. The piece they used to make themselves bigger was lost as it was only the size of a grain of rice and they fell into a river when they lost it. Now knowing a way to change their size the group traveled through the forest till they found the lego land. Seeing it as a good place to also make a home base for themselves the Fmeks found the land to be home to beings smaller then themselves and quickly tried to takeover but were driven away. With Pesterbot unable to help because of the deep water.

Since then they been trying to conquer the lego land after the Fmeks learned that the lego pieces could be used to build machines that seem to have no power source at all. During the first winter that had the pond around lego land frozen, allowed Pesterbot who stood at 1 meter or 3 feet tall proved to be all but unstoppable due to his sheer size compared to the natives of lego land. It's only thanks to combining all the different mechs together forming a giant robots, were they able to defeat Pesterbot leaving him in pieces.

The Fmeks and Killgore salvaged Pesterbot pieces and been rebuilding him since then. They also been going into Gravity Falls, raiding the town for parts. The Fmeks also been stealing machine parts of the machine animals from the Horizon world. Not wanting to completely destroy lego land if they used blaze to melt the plastic, they instead used chillwater to create freeze rays to just freeze the lego people. Which they used to freeze the water around lego land so that the new rebuild Pesterbot could break through all the defenses.

Pesterbot now a heavily armored robot with two electric scooters attached to a toy wagon replacing his legs and giving him better balance and speed. The wagon not only carry's the scooters power supply but also the ammo for Pesterbot's weapons and serves as transportation for the Fmeks. Pesterbot's upper body and head is still the same but now heavily armored and attached to the front of the wagon. Pesterbot arms have been replaced with a large extendable claw for the left and a gun arm on the right. The gun arm can either fire a laser, or fire a blast of chillwater thanks to the metal fuel tank attached to the back of the wagon. That protects the fuel and serves as a counterweight to prevent Pesterbot flip over because of too much weight on the front. And the wagon also has laser and rocket turrets manned by Fmeks and has a fusion power cell to power it all.

That's what Twilight, Dipper and Wendy walked into. Pesterbot rolling across the frozen pond and easily destroying the mechs sent to fight him. The lego city's auto defense turrets could do little against the thick metal plating that protected the robot and a salvo of rockets took out the city's power grid, causing the turrets to go offline. And right behind the giant tank like robot is Killgore leading the rest of the Fmeks into battle, who are all riding in war machines either lego made or put together using scrap parts taken from Gravity Falls. Surging forward seeing the defense guns no longer firing. Already lego land is breaking apart because of the ice and rockets, exposing the size crystals underneath the city.

Nearby -

Charging into battle Twilight using her telekinesis lifts Pesterbot into the air and threw him away from the lego city. Wendy welding an axe which she brought with her to break some crystals for samples, began batting away at the Fmek war machines. Join by Twilight who is using her telekinesis and hooves on the evil horde. Pesterbot got back up using his claw arm to get himself off of his side and began attacking Wendy and Twilight. The later using her telekinesis to block the incoming attacks with a log and spinning it in the air in front of her. Wendy was also put on the defense as the Fmeks fires their weapons at her and while the smaller energy weapons don't pack a punch it still hurts her.

Dipper on the other hand having brought along some tape and a flashlight grabbed a size crystal and attach it to the flashlight. Seeing how there's fighting in the lego city and at his current size he would just end up breaking more stuff then saving. He used the flashlight on himself shrinking himself down so while he's still a giant compared to the lego people and the Fmeks he isn't so big that he would accidentally destroy the city. And he began helping the lego people fight off the aliens. Kicking at the Fmeks and knocking their flying machines out of the sky like in a giant monster movie.

So focused on keeping the lego nation alive, they don't notice they have a spy.

"Heh, fools! You've made yourself vulnerable!" Gideon laughs from behind a tree and begins to turn around. "While your distracted, I'll grab one of those crystals and I'll...."

Gideon stops dead in his tracks at the sight of two Luchadores towering over him.

"Hey Jutt! Darnedest thing! I coulda sworn I just heard fancy pants here say he was going to put the pines in a squeeze!" one of the Luchadores said while smirking.

"But Jatt that can't be right! He's under strict orders from Killbane to lay low and stay away from the Pines! After the lawyers pulled his sorry but out of jail after he got his nuggets handed to him!" the one name Jutt cackles and pretends to look shocked.

"Right, I thought so... I must be hearing things," Jatt sneers down at Gideon who cowers in fright. "What do you think pipsqueak? Am I hearing things?"

Gideon was torn between fear and seething with rage. Ever since the blasted merge it been harder and harder to draw crowds, there'd just been too much competition and then the luchadores started to muscle in on everything, took his business right out form under him! How dare they!?... he was the master! Not the pawn! Gideon knew he could reverse his fortunes if he could just get his hands on that SHACK! But after Killbane's lawyers had 'proven' that he'd been possessed by a demon and forced to assault Dipper Pines (in reality they paid a demon to posses him before the test so it would come up positive - shudder -sweet mercy that had been unpleasant!)

"Well, of course friends! Widdle-old-me would NEVER double-cross my top investor!" Gideon said smiling while thinking. 'Patience Gideon... your time will come... and then you'll be king once more."

"Good... I hope you won't mind us following you back into town... least you be fraught with temptation...," Jatt said.

Not having a choice... a grumbling Gideon complies.

Also under orders to lay low after what happen with the hideout at the cave, the Luchadores don't intervene in the fight. They do make a note of it and the size crystals, emailing it right to the boss. Right now the Luchadores in Gravity Falls are now have taken over Gideon's factory and using it to make what they need and keeping an eye on the boy.

Elsewhere -

After getting an email from some of his men informing him about size changing crystals Killbane enters Grindewalds meditation area. Since going to Gravity Falls where he could sense the passive magic, which is the strongest within the magical seal around said town. With magic seeping to the surrounding area, thanks to both the Candy Kingdom and Canterlot being on either side of the valley. Grindewalds has been experimenting in learning to use the passive magic and using the magical items that could be used while in the field. And has been using other magical arts to try to tune into the magic, as he is doing now.

Grindewald continues meditating, and doesn't look behind him. "I take it the meeting went well?"

"The freaks are practically salivating at the mouth to make it big! The treats are hot and the tricks are coming! I'd say we're good and ready for Summerween, wouldn't you say?" Killbane said with a smirk as he waves for Grindewald to follow him.

"Good... all is ready..." Grindewald gets out of his meditative position to follow Killbane.

In another part of the building they're in was a lab being run by a short redhead man with a receding hair line, a bushy moustache and thick glasses. He is professor Norton Nimnul a mad scientist who Killbane picked up from somewhere. Though Nimnul is an intelligent and creative scientist, his plans often lack any trace of logic and tend to be extremely convoluted. For example, he kidnapped all the cats in a city to make an immense amount of static electricity, and there was when he constructed a laser cannon designed to create a giant gelatin mold which would be used to cause an earthquake under the United States Gold Reserve. Killbane has him working for him in learning how to use the many high tech equipment found around the world thanks to the merge.

"Doctor how is the project going?" Killbane ask.

"Thanks to Grindewald, I think I should have the device ready soon. Still need to make some calculations and testing it first," Nimnul said as he's working on the programing of the FAS-FSP5 Khopesh or Deathbringer as the natives of the world the war machine came from call it.

"What about the Deathbringer?" Killbane ask.

"Had to scrap the entire original programing and working on a new one. Don't want to have it and others go out of control like how the Faro Automated Solutions set it up where it can never be turn off. I would like to get my hands on a Metal Devil," Nimnul said.

"All of them have been destroyed and anyone who even attempts to activate one would gain unwanted attention," Killbane said.

"And those things already were so unstoppable that the only way to win was with Project Horizon," Grindewald adds.

"True but at least I have a robot that will give me what I need," Nimnul said as he turns to the vivisected remains of the once formidable 'Iron Giant'. Who was found in pieces up north and brought to the lab. The only working part of the Iron Giant left was his head which was missing sections of plating revealing the circuits within.

"H-H-H-H-hogarth?" the Iron giant coughing and wheezing, sputters right before Nimnul reach into his head and rips out the last of his crucial circuits, killing the gentle giant for good.

"The time for the offices of Marshal, Carter and Darks to make their big debut is almost upon us!" Nimnul said as he held up the alien circuitry in triumph.

In the woods -

Twilight and Wendy held out against Pesterbot and the Fmeks long enough for Dipper to finish off the ones in the city. Dipper was now small enough where he could hear and talk to the lego people and the friends. Working together with Dipper protecting the lego people they repaired the city's power grid and defense network. Reactivating the city's auto defense turrets that blasted the flying and ground vehicles of the Fmeks. Dipper smashing all the hard targets with his sheer size and strength while the others gave him support, keeping the Fmeks from overwhelming him with their firepower. And working together with the heroes of the lego land they drove the Fmek's out.

"Don't run fight!" Killgore shouted at his minions who ran by him.

“Killgore, I heard of you from Jenny,” Dipper said having read Jenny’s blog.

“And you know that she fears me,” Killgore said staring at the taller human who was only about a foot tall a little bit taller then him.

“What she feared was people hating her because the people in the town she use to live in all found you cute and would hate her if she destroyed you. Which was a waste of time as they never appreciated her saving them in the first place,” Dipper said.

“She was a fool not to destroy me when she had the chance,” Killgore laughs.

Which Dipper responded by kicking Killgore knocking him over and using the flashlight shrinks Killgore to a smaller size. Dipper looks down at the struggling robot trying to get up from his side. Dipper lifts his foot into the air and brings it down on Killgore, repeatedly till he was nothing but bits and pieces. (3)

Meanwhile across the frozen pond, Twilight and Wendy were being push back. Wendy was bleeding from the number of rockets she’s been hit with and lasers burning her skin. It’s only because she’s a deer woman that she’s able to take being hit so much. Twilight is also covered in wounds and used up most of her energy shielding Wendy And herself from attacks by creating a barrier around them, by using rocks that are spinning around them.

“They’re weakening forward!” Pesterbot shouted to the Fmeks.

Those were the last words Pesterbot said as a energy blast engulfs him. The energy blast caused the fusion power cell to blow up with the chillwater tank. The blast took out all the Fmeks riding on Pesterbot and around him. Looking up the crowd below up to see Jenny and her sisters flying down, blasting at the remaining Fmek war machines. The Fmeks tried to flee but were sprayed with knock out gas from the robot sisters, XJ-1 and XJ-2 protected Twilight, Wendy and the people in the Lego land from the gas by creating a forcefield around them.

"Looks like that's all of them," Jenny said scanning the area and finding all the Fmeks in range are either dead or knock out.

"Thanks for coming," Twilight said.

"Always happy to help any friend of Stump," XJ-5 said.

"Now where is Killgore?" Jenny ask.

"Right here," Dipper said holding the broken remains of Killgore in his hand. "I know you wanted to do it but I kind of beat you to it."

"Is it me or have you gotten smaller?" Jenny ask looking down at Dipper and spotted several lego people dress as ninjas riding on his hat. "And are those living lego people?"

"It's a long story," Dipper said.

After the SCP cleanup crew arrived and gathered up all the remaining Fmeks, putting them in cages and loading them into prison trucks. As for the remains of the two robots that lead them, Jenny gathered up the pieces and said something about tossing the pieces into the recycler, to make sure there's no way for them to be rebuilt. The size crystals are confiscated and the nation of Ninjago is being moved to a safer place. Jenny and her sisters are going to transport Ninjago to the Candy Kingdom where there are plenty of small races that they would fit in. Helping to clean up the mess are several volunteers from Gravity Falls who hearing that there are living lego people came in droves.

Many people of Ninjago volunteer to be grown by the crystals, but the majority of the population remains tiny as they do not have enough houses for all of them, and the structural integrity of the island nation had been compromised from the crash and battle, so growing it or the houses there was a bad idea. The Lego citizens volunteer to help build houses and they proved to be rather good at this but only with legos.

Jenny talking to the lego ninjas regarding information on the Hands of Time, revealing that this isn't the first time they met living legos. Jenny learn from the ninjas about the Vermilion Warriors that the Hand of Time have at their disposal. The Serpentine ask that if caught, the Vermillion warriors be given to their custody, as they are one of them.

Meanwhile, Dipper watches the crystals being quarantined and loaded into trucks. The XJ sisters had carefully mined all the crystals from underneath Ninjago and filling up the empty space underneath with rocks and dirt. He looks at the growth crystal he'd acquired to allow him to fight in the lego city. He then looks down at his loins.

"Don't even think about it," Wendy said as snatches it out of his hand and pockets it... for safe keeping.

"Yeah, I'm still growing on my own," Dipper said blushing.

BOOM!

The two turn as Twilight runs by them.

"Twilight, what happened?" Dipper ask.

"Your sister happen, that's what! She somehow got it in her head to try and introduce duplo toys! The lego people starting having PTSD flashbacks for some reason and are fighting everything in blind terror!" Twilight explains.

Dipper just groans but joins his friends to clean yet another of his sisters messes.

In Australia -

Him looks over the destruction and death that use to be a rain forest called FernGully. The fairies that once lived in the forest were all dead thanks to their ancient foe who he freed from that tree. Hexxus an entity of destruction whose ultimate goal is to destroy nature for his pleasure. He feeds off of pollution such as smoke, slime, and sludge.

"I must say, I love your work," Him said looking down at the dead fairies who all have painful death faces on them. Not to mention all the different and painful ways they all died. Some burn, others choke on smog, others engulf in sludge or slime and so on.

"What can I say, I'm an artist," Hexxus said in his smoke form. He inhales deep as he feeds off of the smoke from the fire he started that's burning the forest around them.

"So are you in?" Him ask.

"I'm sure am," Hexxus said.


Author's Note

1 - I hate how people think that any future event foretold can never be changed. Like you're going to die in a car crash tomorrow, just don't go driving and stay inside for the whole day. You'll be fine. Besides that kind of thing is just plot points where no matter what the event can't be changed. And in real life the future foretold is so cryptic that it can mean anything.

2 - Everything that living on the lego world is about the size of a real life bee at the biggest, including the legos.

3 - With small foes that can be step on. The only reason they last so long in most fiction is because if it was that easy the plot wouldn't be that long.
