Deep inside the dark recesses of an unknown lair... a scarecrow-creature known manly as the Summerween Trickster is talking to a group of 'people'.

"So were in agreement? You willingly allow us to use your power and do as we wish in your domain on YOUR most hallowed night?" said someone intoned of someone as if rehearsed yet mystified.

The Trickster nods. "Yes, I the Summerween Trickster so allow it and so may it be done!"

A large flash of energy leaps from him and goes to the others in the room.

"Trick or treat...," Killbane cackles.

At the party supply store -

The Pines family go to the party store which was turn into the yearly Summerween supermarket. While most of the Pines and Soos do their own thing, Dipper bumps into Twilight. She tells him how the whole 'Mare-do-well' thing kept bothering her, so eventually... with the beavers and Stumps assistance... she visited Rainbow Dash.

After a heartfelt talk it revealed some rather interesting things. Rainbow actually DIDN'T want to forgive them for the humiliation she suffered during that whole incident... but she was so desperate to keep her friends and their 'herd' intact, she swallowed her pride and pretended she forgave them... but she never did... and openly wonders if this feeling of betrayal she pushed down deep. Was a contributing factor to her turning against her at the wedding as Twilight was the mastermind of the whole scheme.

Twilight realized she was guilty of similar. Back when everyone was badmouthing and shunning Zecora. She at first knew what they were doing was wrong... but she did nothing to go against her friends, her 'herd'... lest she lose them.

Twilight concludes that although 'true friendship' that was once the foundation of Equestria was great... It was starting to sound like what they had wasn't that at all... and more akin to some form of peer pressure... Suddenly... 'sticking together and being friends no matter what'... Didn't seem so black and white of a concept anymore...

Rainbow reluctantly agrees...

They talk more and she admits she's rather glad Sunset kicked her out of the Wonderbolts. Yeah, it sucked she needed to find a new job to make money. But frankly that job had become more and more degrading... and not just because Sunset had demoted them to 'over glorified sky performers'. Apparently after the 'attempted coup', Sunset wanted to make absolutely sure they couldn't try again. So she did some investigating and aired out a great deal of their dirty laundry to the public.

Turns out one of their famous veterans Wind Rider routinely sabotaged and got disbarred any 'new blood' who came close to breaking his most revered 'records'. Worse, seemed like the Wonderbolts never bothered to investigate very thoroughly into these crimes and the poor new recruit was usually given the boot. She publicly strip him of his medals and his petition, leaving him to find a job in his old age.

Then there's the Wonderbolts had a hazing ritual where they called each other the most embarrassing name possible. During basic training, they would encourage everypony to be the best. Even if it meant them being reckless and hurting other ponies. They went as far as abandon injured teammates and poach good pony's from other teams just to win.

The hazing wouldn't had been out of place with a normal military unit. But seeing how the Wonderbolts never actually do any fighting just putting on air shows. Saying it toughens them up for real combat, was a complete bullshit. Seeing how during the attempted coup the Wonderbolts and the Royal guard all ran away from the fake dragon Sunset sent. The Wonderbolts are only hanging on as a show group with all ties to the Equestian government cut off and the ponies losing all faith in them. (1)

So desperate for money or no... Rainbow Dash was rather glad to be done with them.

But... now... now she really didn't know what to do. All her life she'd dedicated herself to her dream of being a Wonderbolt... and now that was gone. Scotaloo was getting reconnected with her parents and didn't really have any time for her anymore. She didn't even have her weather coordinator job to fall back on anymore, seeing how the weather of this world can't be controlled. The elements of harmony were useless now and being a dropout hadn't helped her job prospects... and even the rest of the girls seemed to have their own problems and were drifting apart... she just... she just didn't know what to do anymore.

In any case, she then invited Twilight to a mass-funeral later that week. Apparently most of Fluttershy's pets after she was forced to release them when she couldn't afford to feed them anymore. Hadn't been able to adapt to a world where they weren't taken care of by pony's. Which included Angel Bunny thanks to a eagle flying down and carrying the bunny off to feed it's young.

Twilight is torn, despite her issues with the others. She didn't feel comfortable just abandoning Fluttershy during a difficult time. Of course... if she went there the others would be there as well... and she wasn't sure she could handle that. True, Rainbow promised to keep the others off of her if she came... but still.

In any case, seeing how Dipper is here. Twilight is asking for advice on whether or not she should go or not.

"Well it is a funeral so there is paying your respect. But of course that is if you actually feel that close to the ones who are holding it. If you decide to go or not is up to you but, I'll come with you if you go and back you if you don't," Dipper said.

Twilight thanks Dipper for his advice and support and they embrace each other in a hug. Then seeing that Mable was coming to them, an annoyed Twilight quickly makes herself scarce. She hadn't forgiven Mable for all she'd done and just didn't like her as she reminded her too much of her former friends attitude at the wedding. But she wouldn't fight or argue with her if she could avoid it, for Dipper's sake if nothing else.

"Dipper before, I go you should know that Wendy is going to the Summerween party that's happening at Tambry's house," Twilight said before running off.

Dipper... starts to have flashes...

Before he could organize or think about them properly, Mable greets him and he has to put on a smiley face. They have a little fun together with the decorations along with Soos who keeps playing with a talking skull. As Mable is having a good time... Dipper likes this... and wonders... why things couldn't just be like this? Why did things... need to get so complicated?

The standard 'your future is catering to a crazy cat lady Mable' pops up, and he shakes his head irritated.

Dipper who is annoyed and grumbling to himself. "Yeah, yeah. I can't be a kid forever. Everything changes. Roll with the punches. Life isn't fair, blah blah cliched grimdark moral. Fine, okay! I get it! Consider the fracking anvil dropped already!"

Which he says that last part loud enough for Mable to hear him.

"Huh?" Mable ask.

"Nothing, nevermind," Dipper said.

They go up to the front to purchase their goods.

The Sales Clerk sees Dipper as she scans his items. "Hey you're the kid who calmed down the lego-people after their freakout. And saved the town from all those crazy videogames! Your awesome!"

"Well... thanks... but it was a team effort! I never could have done it without my friends," Dipper said blushing at the kind of attention he's been getting.

"Well, regardless. Thank you! My sister got seriously hurt during that freakout and it would've only gotten worse without you. So take all your candy, on the house! And here's some extra!" the sales clerk said.

"Thanks," Dipper thanks her and leaves to go to the car.

"OH! Anything for me!?" Mable ask.

"Oh, I got something for you," the sales clerk said before she decks her in the face. "THAT was from my sister, little Ms. Dulpo!"

Mable groans and rubs her face. "...I recognize her handwriting..."

Without another word, Mable just runs to the car as quickly as possible.

The last week had been rather rough for Mable, most of the people who came for the mailbox were people who had terminal family members or missing family members. Some hearing about the mailbox in the few hours that it was known had sold EVERYTHING to come to Gravity Falls from where they came from. With some coming from other countries to do so, some only learning about the mailbox going away only after they already spent or sold their things for the trip to the United States. And now they didn't have enough money to leave... this left a large number of sympathetic people, angry at her and all left stewing in one place.

And then the whole 'Dulpo incident' only made the people in Gravity Falls further annoyed at her.

And of course Dipper was being hailed more and more as a hero.

This reversal of fortunes, left Mable unsure what to do. So she does what she always does... she ignores everything bad and focuses only on the positive! Tonight she and her brother would go trick or treating!

Talos 2 -

Jenny carrying a box of scraps that was all that was left of Killgore and Pesterbot made her way to the recycler. Opening the bin compartment where the items to be recycle goes, she pours the contents of the box into it. Then she turns around to the eyebot camera that's been following her and filming her. She gives a wave as she turns on the recycler and the remains of the two robots was transformed into mineral and synthetic materials that were deposit into the other bin on the right side of the machine.

"And that's how to use a recycler to make sure any evil robots won't be coming back by someone putting them back together," Jenny explains to her viewers on her youtube page.

"Or somehow they're able to pull themselves back together again," said Sheldon popping up from the side.

"Can you believe that back in our hometown of Tremorton that the people there found Killgore so cute that even as he went and rebuilt Armagedroid. They still let Killgore do what he likes. I'm sure glad that we don't live there anymore," Jenny said.

"Hey we got a video call," Sheldon said using his upgraded smart phone to project a holo screen.

The screen showing is Brad. "Jenny how could you do that to Killgore."

"Easy he was already smash and instead of repairing him so that he can do more harm. As I like to point out that he and Pesterbot killed many Lego people and sapient bugs. I'm just making sure these killer robots won't be returning to do it again," Jenny said.

"But they're so cute," Brad cries out.

"Brad do you have anything else to say or just cry over a dumb toy robot that has killed people?" Jenny ask.

"Can you come back to Tremorton and be our hero again?" Brad ask.

"Why? Mom Wakeman went and built XJ-10 to handle that," Jenny said thinking about her new sister that mom Wakeman created to replace her after she left. Which she remembers seeing the blueprints of when everyone thought that she was evil, which Sheldon was the only one who didn't lose faith in her.

"It's not the same XJ-10 isn't a teenager she's a woman with no time to hang out or do anything like we use to do. She's all business and gives out tickets and misdemeanor, or arrest people as she's part of the police department. She gave me and Tuck tickets for interfering with police business when we tried to help," Brad said.

"So first you insult me because I got rid of the remains of robots who killed living beings and you care more about how cute they are then the lives they took. And just expect me to go back to being the hero of Tremorton when it's was made clear that no matter what the people there will never be grateful for what, I do?" Jenny ask.

"Yes," Brad said with a straight face.

"People this is what it's like living in a Uselessvile," Jenny said turning to the camera.

"What do you mean?" Brad ask clueless.

"How about if something went and destroy Tremorton and killed people with Tuck being one of those killed. And I wouldn't let you do anything to that thing because its cute to me?" Jenny ask.

"You'll be a monster," Brad said.

"And you don't see anything that's like the example I just gave you with what Killgore and Pestorbot did?" Jenny ask.

"Hey...," Brad said getting it and not liking what Jenny is telling him about himself.

"It only mattered to you after it became personal didn't it. Well guess what, unlike back in our old world. I'm not following that kind of mindset anymore. Or keep helping people who no matter what will never do anything to deserve it," Jenny said turning off the connection with her old friend. (2)

Las Vegas -

Inside Lucky 38 hotel and casino Mr. House is doing business with GAIA Prime. The company she started had quickly became very big, thanks to deals with other companies like his and Membrane who deals with advance technology. The latest project is improving on the machine animals that create blaze which is being used as fuel instead of oil. Which are also used for labor or for terraforming projects to make wastelands into fertile fields.

With only pieces of his world coming to this new world, Mr. House took action as others were still trying to get back up. Using his small factory that he had underneath his casino which was mostly to repair and built new robots for the casino. He used it to make robots and selling them to get his name out there. Soon with his robots who switched to non radioactive fuel, became a common sight around the country. He didn't stop there as he cherry picked technology here and there from the many different worlds to improve on his own robots.

Learning from what happen in the Horizon Zero Dawn world, he made sure all of his robots had a way to be shut off. His robots are also thanks to how old tech they are with them using things like vacuum tubes to run their systems. Made them all but impossible to be infected by a virus as they didn't had any microchips in them and Mr. House kept it that way. With them the only robots that could be launch into areas that have that rouge A.I. going around and infecting machines.

Not to say he hasn't been improving on his robot designs using the technologies that he has managed to gather. Mostly in improving on their cooling systems, his robots did had a problem in too much heat being built up in them especially the Sentrybots. They needed to expose their fuel rods to vent out the heat before they overheat and blew up. Now with better ventilation and coolant being used, his robots are running better then ever.

Of course there is his plans on using the designs of the XJ sisters but Wakeman has the patent rights to them. Mr. House had been planning on the war happening in his world and had everything planned out, till the merge happen and put an end to everything that he's been planning. But now in this new world he's began making new plans and from what he has managed to gathered, like how during that time travel trip that happen in Gravity Falls. Far in the future XJ-1 who is using her sister's XJ-9's old body is still around. And Mr. House is now making plans so that he'll be around just as long. After all with the merge happening and no longer a war on the horizon he has plenty of time to improve on his life extension pod.

Gravity Falls -

"There's no way I'm going trick or treating." says Dipper having flopped on his bed and staring at the ceiling.

Finally Alone, Dipper had reorganized his thoughts and flashes... and once more groaned over the stupidity of his 'other self'.

"Again! Why didn't my future self just TELL Wendy he was being hunted by a monster?! She totally would have believed AND helped him! It certainly would've been smarter then DUMPING ALL OUR CANDY! GAH! IDIOT!" Dipper said talking to himself and was so glad he wasn't THAT moron... anymore...

In any case Dipper thought things over. He wouldn't throw out the loser candy this time or be mean to random trick-or treaters- seriously, what had his other self been thinking? Wendy wasn't even around to be impressed! Not to mention she'd think he was being a jerk for doing that!

Just be safe though, he also sent a text to the Jenny's to be on the look-out for the Trickster and put eye's on Mable. But to his surprise, he saw there was no need! Not only did the XJ's do extensive research on mythological entities and had a strict policy of 'treat as real and dangerous until proven otherwise'... but... surprisingly they also had a patrol route that went over the shack and right through Mable's trick or treater route! They even had a surplus of Candy to buy off the Trickster if necessary (Dipper can't help but sneer at the Memory Mable who mocks alternate Dipper's suggestion of skipping 'tirck-or-treat' and just buying it... like a SANE person.) Little weird and coincidental... but he wasn't going to complain.

...that just left... Mable...

Dipper sighs, Okay. He'll admit, lying was the wrong way to go about it... but did Mable have to be so clingy about it?

Yes, AGAIN, his sickness was fake and lying was bad... but would it really have been so terrible for her to go without him and do her own thing?

Dipper never saw the black smoke tendrils spreading stealthily through the room... and into his ears...

In fact... the more he thought about it...

Summerween WASN'T Halloween, which means they'd have a second chance to trick or treat in fall! Seriously, take a chill pill and wait a couple of months Mable!

And who said 13 was the cut-off point for stopping trick-or-treating? He'd seen plenty of teenage trick-or treaters! And as long as you came to the door in a costume and said 'trick-or-treat'... who was really going to stop you? You could probably do it up to your twenties if you were smart about it! They had plenty more years of trick-or-treating ahead! Again, take a chill pill Mable!

The more Dipper thought about it (and the more invisible black smoke entered his ears), the angrier he got.

"Say 'I don't have enough Summerween spirit'?! I was going to a SUMMERWEEN party! How is that not showing spirit!" Dipper said to himself.

Dipper rolls his increasingly erratic eye's. "Oh, what am I saying? All that matters to her is what SHE wants to do! So what then? When were doing what MABLE wants and having fun HER way. It's a happy 'family sticks together no matter what' Aesop... but when I want to do what I want and have fun MY way... I'm being selfish? Is that it!?"

More and more smoke enters him...

Dipper starts to shake with rage. "She's unbelievable- I've been celebrating Halloween with her, doing things HER way, wearing HER costumes for 12 years! But she won't let me have ONE Halloween Knock-off holiday to myself? To spend time with someone who I might not see again after this Summer is over? ...2 weeks after I- In another universe- sacrificed my chance at her to give you, your dang pig no less! ...AND I'M THE SELFISH ONE!?!"

Dipper growled. "I OUGHT TO POP HER FAT HEAD LIKE-"

Suddenly Dipper's eye's pop open in shock.

"Whoa! What am I saying!?" Dipper said now very shocked and confused, he tries to calm himself down.

!

Outside window -

"Okay, went too far there! Back up! Back up! Abort!" Slendermand said causing all the smoke left Dipper and retreated back into him.

!

Inside -

Now calm, if a bit disoriented... Dipper lies back on the bed to reflect. He'd made up his mind... he was going to be his OWN person... he was going to celebrate Summerween. HIS way and Mable ...well, he was sure Mable would have fun without him... more importantly... she'd be better for it.

But how to go about it? Lying to her was clearly out... and if he just told the truth... he was honest enough with himself to admit that the moment she sobbed and guilt-tripped him he'd fold like a matchbox and do whatever she wanted! So where did that leave him? No matter how he thought of talking to Mable....

And then it hit him... a solution so simple, his alternate self would've weeped and cursed himself for not thinking of it himself.

!

Later -

Mable, dressed as a jar of jam burst into the room carrying a matching Peanut Butter suite. "Hey, Bro-Bro! You ready to reclaim our throne as king and Queen of Halloween!?"

...and then she realizes he's not there...

"Dipper? Where are you?" Mable asked looking around confused.

Then she finds a note on the bed.

Mable... felt a stab in her heart...

"He... he doesn't want to be with me? For Summerween?: Mable said as her lip's starts to quiver as a tear goes down her face.

Slenderman who is invisible to her, puts a glass under her face to catch the tear drop, he then drinks it satisfied. "Ah! Refreshing as it is soul-crushing..."

!

In Town -

Dipper was amazed, he knew that a post-merge Halloween-like celebration would be something to see... but this was something else. Seeing how only Gravity Falls celebrates Summerween, Sunset seeing dollar signs has setup a Summerween fair which already gotten a crowd to come. The Ed boys had come along with many other kids from Peachcreak to enjoy Summerween. They're not alone as there are the kids from the summer camp running around, along with people from the Candy Kingdom, the Maw, and Equestria.

There are even people from out of state who came all the way to Gravity Falls to experience Summerween, like Sam and Max who came with their new adopted son Issac. With her mother being treated for the voices in her head, Sam and Max took it on themselves to look after Issac. With the help of the Greek they got though all the red tape, at least that's what they claim and sticking to their story. And hearing about Summerween thanks to Sunset's using all forms of entertainment to spread the news, Sam and Max drove to Gravity Falls to enjoy themselves with their new son. With so many people coming for the hoilday, Sunset has also called in many other entertainment to make Summerween a smashing party.

Speaking of which Sunset is walking around town enjoying the party she had setup. She's dress up as a Scottish warrior princess, wearing armor and carrying around a spear she had picked up from the castle. Both her parents were also dressed up as a warrior king and queen. Then there are her sisters who are all dressed up and all carrying a weapon.

Applebloom was selling special breeds of semi-sentient defense plants. They were originally made by 'Crazy Dave', who used them to fight zombies of all the nutty things. After the merge, all the zombies were easily wiped out by the various militaries of the world. Dave, no longer able to afford his hobbies and research was forced to look for investors. (3)

Most saw his plants as more luxury items then anything and didn't go for it. Applebloom however, saw potential in them as domestic security. With all these rouge A.I. attacking cities, people would be clamoring for something to keep their homes well protected! True, the plants weren't much good against the bigger machines, but they could hold their own against the smaller ones.

Naturally, Applebloom had been ignored by her family about this... until she got control of the farm that is. She immediately bought 50% stake in Dave's company and now they were selling like hot cakes all over the world. But that was small potato's compared to her idea to sell them as Summerween decorations! What better way to celebrate Summerween then a front yard filled with monster plants scaring the crap out of their neighbors?

True, there was the problem of what people would do with that much plants on their lawn AFTER the holiday was over. But that wasn't Applebloom's problem, her 'no refund' policy made sure of that. And that people already brought things that they setup for a holiday and couldn't be used till it came again next year.

'Well, Stan is certainly making his mark on the world with teaching all these future 'businessmen', if nothing else...' Dipper thought to himself.

Dipper then looked over to another interesting sight; a monster that stank and held his eye's in his hands, a black and white whip-like monster, and one that looked like a freaky red bunny.

Icaus, Krum and Oblina were from a world where monsters ate garbage and lived to terrify humans. Since the merge, they no longer were able to hide, humans being more competent in this world, for one thing, but that was fine. They use to have to scare humans because without humans fearing them, they would just disappear which in this world they didn't have to do anymore. They were hired out to parties, pranks, amusement parks, holidays, etc. And were gleefully paid wages in garbage and toenails! Simultaneously making many of the monsters rich AND solving the world garbage problem! They even cleaned all the oil-spills in record time! It was win-win!

Another pleasant surprise were the monsters of the 'Monster Inc' world walking around. After the merge, there an initial panic in their community of a 'human Pandemic'. But with the help of the SCP and some brave Monster volunteers like Mike and Monster INC CEO Scully... they were able to prove the humans of this world weren't toxic. Now they went around making humans laugh and selling they're laugh energy to the whole world.

Of course, today they were clearly making an exception and going back to their old ways for just one night. They were even nice enough to give their old scream-powers tech to the other monster group to make their business even more lucrative!

And then of course... THAT song

Friendly ghosts wafted through the air...

Skeletons were teaching people how to do the skeleton dance...

Pumpkins were shot threw the air and exploded as target practice...with fireworks!

The Scary Godmother was chaperoning young Trick or treaters...

Indeed, Mattress stores were selling special 'monster under your bed' varieties...

...the carpenter store was doing something similar...

A pea-shooter and a potato-mine plant scared ANOTHER T.P. prankster away, much to the homeowners amusement...

Sam and Max were currently teaching their adopted son Issac how to shoot pennies off a dead mimes face...

Sang a two-face mayor...

Out pounced a werewolf, a ooze tuxedo guy and tentacle creeper...

Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud was showing off his 'Halloween tree' to weary travelers...

Sang some witches as they flew past using hoverbikes which are much more comfortble then brooms.

They flew past a walking, singing hangmans tree with hanging skeletons in his branches-

-The hanged skeletons take it from there.

A freaky clown popped out of nowhere riding on a unicycle -

-He rips off his face and disappears in a flash of smoke...

Sang the wind as it blew past...

What many assumed was a crazed specter on the moon... was actually clever bat-choreography by Marceline...

The three monster friends alternate from scaring people, eating garbage and clinking their expired milk glasses together in celebration...

Sang Corpse Kid and Bat-Boy

Sang Corpse kids loving parents as they lead him along...

'Two... faced... Mayor... ah! Okay, I get it now... clever...' Dipper thought to himself.

Several Halloween town monsters wheeled in a mysterious scarecrow towards a fountain...

The scarecrow suddenly burst into flames and danced and flailed about.

The scarecrow breathed a huge column of fire...

It then jumped into the fountain... everyone seemed to hold their breath... then a couple of kids began to sing...

And like magic, Skeleton Jack- the Pumpkin King himself! -rose from the inky depths of the fountain while everyone sung him praises!

Everyone applauded, including Dipper. Dipper couldn't help but notice that although the other major holidays had an abundance of Holiday leaders... but Halloween had so few?

In any case Dipper continued his walk to Tambry's house. The Summerween party still going on as he goes to a more privet party. Dipper still thought Tambry VERY lucky that Wendy was giving her a second chance.

After Wendy saved her from Thrax, Tambry came up to her in person and pleaded for them to be friends again. Up to that point she'd been only pleading through her with texts, for her to do it in person was so out of character that it stunned even Wendy. Now while Wendy could easily drop the likes of Lee, Nate and Robbie out of her life. Thompson and Tambry... well, that had been different.

Thompson had NEVER been their friend... more jester, money lender or chauffeur. Wendy was so ashamed of herself when she realized this... she had a LONG, painful talk with him when she got the chance... they weren't friends (you can't lose what you never had)... but they ended on good terms. And Thompson was the better for it! Last Dipper heard, he broke all other ties with the group and was now dating Lollipop girl...

Anyway, in Tambry's case... they'd been friends since they were kids... which made her betrayal hurt even more. Tambry was willing to do ANYTHING to fix their friendship. Wendy, half-joking. Asked she give up on technology for a YEAR... and was dumbstruck when she agreed. Which was alot better then what one of Wendy's aunts had suggested for Tambry to do, kissing and.... having... It just had both Wendy and Tambry red faced at what that kind of making up detailed. She asked Dipper to ask Dib to keep track of her through her online account... and she was surprisingly keeping her word... and a bunch withdrawal symptoms... but mostly her word.

Touched by her commitment to fix things between them, Wendy decided to throw her a bone and come to her party. She hadn't flat-out forgiven her yet... but it was a start. And it's better then how her aunts had suggested in how they should make up.

Dipper reached the house, the party was in full swing...

"Hey Dipper!" a voice called out to him.

Dipper turned around... and was stunned. Wendy was a wolf girl- a furry-bikini clad, claw glove-laden, fanged and marker whiskered WOLF girl.

Suddenly fingers were snapping in front of his face.

"Hey don-Juan! There are other girls here too!" said an amused if slightly annoyed voice.

Dipper's eyes was finally torn away from a now giggling Wendy. And sure enough, the other two girls in his life were there. Pacifica, dressed as a Greek gorgon, complete with a toga. And Twilight....

"Starswirl the bearded!" Dipper said.

"YES! Thank you! Everyone's been just calling me a bearded monk!" Twilight said.

Dipper just shakes his head. "Seriously? How could they not get this? It's so obvious!"

Which Pacifica just looks confused at Dipper. "Really? How is that obvious?"

Dipper gives her a strange look, then points to Twilight. "Those patterns on the cloak are indicative of ancient Neighipt silk, specifically of Queen Leopatra's reign and only 17 were commissioned before she was assassinated by the Assp imperium. Add in the blueberry bells of the Coltic highlands on her hat and Starswirls signature beard, who else is she going to be?"

"Yes! Thank you! Why was that so hard for everyone to get?" said Twilight.

Wendy and Pacifica just look at the two laughing nerds in disbelief.

Pacifica leans over to whisper to Twilight. "Marry him."

"Wha?" Twilight ask blushing then shakes her head of it and quickly changes the topic. "Anyway! Dipper, where's your costume!?"

"Wha?" Dipper said and then he remembered, that NO. He wasn't wearing a costume. Worse, Wendy was wearing a costume too! A GREAT costume at that!

Dipper trying hard not to show he was panicking. "Uh...one second! I'll have it on in a jiff!"

He ran to the restroom, cursing himself. He smacks his head and calls himself an idiot. He bumps into an annoyed Robbie but still runs into the bathroom.

He frantically searches through his backpack for something, ANYTHING he could make a make-shift costume out of- gah! Nothing but the journal, potions, tools, spare loincloth...

Dipper's eye's widen at that last thing... but no, shirely he wasn't THAT desperate.

Suddenly, there was a loud rapping on the door and Dipper, remembering he forgot to lock the door. In his blind panic, decided just to go for it! He almost rips off all his clothes and flings on the loincloth and runs out just as the door opens and Robbie enters.

The girls take Dipper in with a smirk as he comes to them hot, sweaty, panting and wearing nothing but a loincloth.

Wendy trying hard not to laugh. "Uh... little cold for that get-up, isn't it Dipper?"

Dipper trying very hard to ignore the cold, brisk breeze that was making him shiver. "What? No, it's all good!"

Pacifica smirks seeing how cold he is. "You totally didn't bring a costume and you improvised at the last second to impress Wendy, didn't you?"

"Yes," Dipper said hanging his head in defeat.

The girls laugh.

"Oh, Dipper. What, you think blindly copying me is going to get me to like you more?" Wendy smirks.

"No...I guess not," Dipper said. Suddenly, his other selves stupidity didn't seem that unlikely... he'd have to look out for that in the future... he was starting to think there's something to the 'love makes you stupid' trope...

"Okay, go get dressed wild boy," Wendy said.

"Yeah, your LITTLE friend is almost visible," Pacifica said.

Wendy and Pacifica give Dipper a playful slap on the rear as he walks by. Twilight tries to do similar with her horn, but this just causes a painful yelp and her hasty apology.

Wendy smirks, she truthfully wasn't one for costumes... but after the fight as a giant wolf and all those dreams. This costume just spoke to her for some reason... and Dipper... DANG! That boy was really coming along on his own! All the baby fat was gone and starting to develop a bit of a six-pa-

Wendy blushes, suddenly VERY self-aware of how little she was wearing...

'Okay...maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all...' Wendy thought to herself.

But this thought was quickly banished from her mind as a still loincloth-clad Dipper was now back-

"Let me guess; your clothes weren't where you left them in your blind panic and you think they got stolen?" Pacifica said.

"Yeah...," Dipper said sighing then shakes his head. "You know what? I don't care! I'm not going to let this ruin my night! I'm my own person, celebrating Summerween MY way, with MY best friends! And I'm going to make the best of this!"

Wendy smiles. "Good for you Dipper!"

"Trust me man, count your blessings. It could always be worse," a voice said.

They all turned around... and burst out laughing.

Lincoln enters Tambry's home wearing a pink princess dress complete with pointed, tasseled hat. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up. I lost a bet with the girls, so you might as well enjoy it."

Ronnie who is dressed as a barbarian warrior, laughs as she grabs him and lifts him up like luggage. "YEAH! We're the heroes. I'm the barbarian warrior and Lame-o is the princess were going to plunder and ravish!"

Six who is still wearing her yellow raincoat but made up to look like a rouge. "And I'm the rogue."

"Are you guys going to the stage show later?" Lincoln ask.

"What stage show?" Dipper ask.

"Oh, I got Sunset to book some entertainment of a musical group, I found online," Tambry said making herself known. She's dressed up as one of those kids from the 'Hunger Games', with a bow and arrow set. Working at the summer camp got her to learn how to use a bow from Huntress Wizard.

"Really?" Wendy ask.

"Well, throwing a party at home with some friends is one thing, but it's not like my parents would cough up the cash to hire entertainment. So I emailed Sunset about this group, I found out about from the swamps of the south and brought them here to put on a show for Summerween," Tambry explains.

"So we're going to leave your house to go to the stage show?" Wendy said.

"Yeah," Tambry said pointing to her parents who are dress up and partying with their own friends. "Besides my parents brought their friends to the party as well."

"By the way Wendy where are your family?" Dipper ask.

"My dad is out with my brothers. My mom is with my aunts showing Morrigan and Lilith a good Summerween party time," Wendy said.

"I can't believe your aunts wanted us to join them," Tambry said blushing.

"Yeah, I know," Wendy said blushing as well.

"But, you know we could join them and...," Tambry was saying but was cut off by Wendy.

"You really want to do that instead of giving up using your phone?" Wendy ask conflicted.

"If you're into it," Tambry said blushing deeper.

"Come on let's leave these two," Twilight said as she lifts the kids with her powers and going out the door.

Once outside Tambry's house she lets them go.

"Hey look," Pacifica said pointing to Wreck-It-Ralph walking down the street with those candy racers.

"Hi Dipper. Good to see you," Ralph said waving to Dipper's group. "We're heading to the show!"

"Come on let's go," Twilight said leading the group of kids following Ralph's group.

!

At the stage show -

The front of the stage had a large crowd all waiting for the show to start and more coming in. There are also many food and drink stands selling to the crowd as well as other stands. All of which been paid for by Sunset who is looking at the amount of money she's going to be making from this party. The money she already made from sales before Summerween already made back the money she invested already. (4)

"I'm sorry, what is this?" Sunset ask laughing.

Marco and Star had turned up naked save for some leaves covering their privates.

"Uh... we’re Adam and Eve! What's more old school then the first couple? Marco blushes and chuckles nervously as Star hides behind him.

Sunset just looks at him skeptically. "Star tricked you into going skinny dipping- again. And Janna stole your clothes- again. Didn't she?"

Marco sighs in resigned defeat. "Yeah..."

"Well, there aren't any spare clothes left, my sisters had a mud wrestling match, don't ask. But maybe I can get you by a sweater so you two at least be warm... just don't go bobbing for APPLES," Sunset says that last part teasingly.

Dipper and the others just laugh at this sight.

"Wow, gotta say. Suddenly, wearing a nothing but a loincloth doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world," Dipper said.

"I agree," Pacifica said as she playfully starts to undo the knot holding his loincloth up, before he smacks her hand away annoyed. But she just smirks and gives him a teasing wink that causes him to blush.

"Hey check out that," Wendy pointed to the fully operational power loader straight out of the Alien films.

"Hey it's Norbert and Daggett!" Twilight shouted it seeing the two beaver brothers riding on the shoulders of the power loader. Both of them dress like the facehuggers.

"Hey Twilight," Daggett said waving to her on top of the power loader.

The power loader turn around revealing the one controling the suit is Stump.

"Stump?" Twilight ask.

"Yeah isn't it cool? Stump made this power loader so that we'll be a shoe in for the best theme costume group," Norbert said.

"I wouldn't count on that," Sakura said who is with the rest of the Street Fighter cast.

"You guys aren't in costume so you guys can't enter," Daggett taunted.

"Sorry he's right you all are just dress as yourselves so you're not in costume," Sunset said.

"...................," Stump said.

"Switch out clothes with another fighter game?" Ken ask.

"Or better yet with the oppersite sex. So the female fighters wear the guys and the other way," Ronnie said causing many to laugh at the idea.

"While funny it would have my outfit be all stretched out or rip," Cammy said.

"Or just be me trying to wear your clothes," Pacifica said pointing to Rose.

"We would need to find people who are the same body shape and height as us for the outfit switch to work," Ken said.

"Well too bad none of you thought of that before, cause we're going to win," Daggett taunted.

"....................," Stump said to Dipper.

"Yes?" Dipper said walking up to Stump.

"..........," Stump said.

"You got it?" Dipper ask.

"..............," Stump said as a compartment open in the suit and out pops a Pip-boy like device.

"Ok it has only has 5 shots before it needs to recharge for about a minute. And besides the custom job you did on it, this pip-boy is just like any other pip-boy," Dipper said.

"Going for the retro look?" Pacifica ask.

"Yeah, I gave Stump something, I picked up and in exchange Stump made this for me with some future upgrades for it later," Dipper said.

After the whole time travel thing with him and the young 7 each having a time tape. He gave his to Stump to study and hopes that he'll figure out a way to get back to that car crash. So far Stump has made little gain in his research of the time tape. But using what he learned and using a pip-boy, Stump made it to be able to fire a bolt of energy that would slow anything that's hit by the bolt. But it only last for 5 seconds and can only be used 5 times before the pip-boy needs to recharge its energy level. That takes about a mintue and 5 minutes if it overheats. Stump did say it's a prototype and he's still working on the finish desgin.

Backstage -

The entertainment for the evening was making last minute preparations as the crew set things up. Taking things down from the number of trucks or RVs and trailers that made up the convoy that rolled into town. The group had been called in to play for Summerween in the only town that holds it. They group had been touring around the south making themselves a name when they were suddenly booked for the event in Gravity Falls. It was a long trip but the money was good and it help to spread the name of the Voodoo Masters.

Baron Samdei had a... interesting year. First he found himself ripped from his home and thrown into a strange land. Striped of his powers and almost mortal like many other gods, demons and others of the likes. Fortunately, he sensed two true practitioners of the voodoo arts and had used what little power he had to draw them to him. (5)

Dr. Facilier once wheeled and dealed in the dark forces of an alternate version of 1920's New Orleans. His dealings finally caught up with him and his 'master's' called in his debts. But then a faceless entity paid his debt, freed him, gave him a bit of his power back (mostly his shadow), opened a doorway to this new world and gave him directions to find Samdei.

Shortly after a 'Mr. Sunshine' found them. A sociopath drug lord enforcer and Voodoo practitioner. He was once was a powerful second in command of the Sons of Samdei gang. However his organization was attacked by the Third Street Saints. During this war, he pumped with bullets and had his head chopped up and his head thrown into a meat processor.

Unfortunately for all sane law-abiding citizens, his power over voodoo allowed his soul to stay tethered to his earthly remains long enough for his most fanatical men to find him, gather up his remains and rush him to a secret den of Voodoo. Through ritualistic mysticism and esoteric surgeries, his body was restored and Mr. Sunshine lived once more.

However, by the time he was able to walk around again. His boss 'The General' was killed and the Sons of Samdei were crushed beyond all hope of revival. Left with no option, Mr. Sunshine took the few remaining Samdei gangsters and went into hiding.... until the merge turned their world upside-down.

They both offered their services to him. Facilier provided leadership, financial logistics and strategy.

While Mr Sunshine provided fanaticism, manpower and BLOOD.

Indeed, while many of his fellow deities were either floundering or dead... his full power was nearly restored. And with said power he was able to grant his boons in 'borrowed magic' (one of the few magics still allowed in this world). But the rule with voodoo is that the user still can't conjure a thing for themselves was still in effect. But people have been turning to him to grant them magical powers, some being former magic users. Not to mention the potions and powders they sell works, even if sometimes it's becareful what you wish for is the result. Of course for legal reasons and to have an FDA seal of approval, all the stuff they sell has instructions in how to use them and if not followed is the fault of the buyer.

Facilier's scheme for a 'comeback tour' was a very profitable cover for their true plan... Baron Samdei didn't know what his followers did behind the scenes... And he was not sure he wanted to know to be honest, but the SHEER amount of blood sacrifices had greatly restored him almost to his former glory. The shows they put on help spread the word of voodoo magic. He even visited a zebra who lives in the nearby Everfree Forest who creates potions herself that's like voodoo. And he granted her true voodoo magic so that he has a new follower from the talking pony world.

Other henchmen that had gathered around him were:

The Great Fusilli, a talking alligator with a flair for Drama. It was his truck with a built in stage they used to tour the country.

Croco a talking purple crocodile who wears a red tophat. He was already with Fusilli and handles the accounting for the shows and payroll. He also the one who hires the local workcrew whenever they go into a new place, and the one who got the two Mr. Handy robots to help as the roadies for the show and cleaning the convoy cars. He was very surprise when his old foe Mario and his friends came to life from a videogame in Gravity Falls.

Grimm a misanthropic, sadistic and sociopathic dwarf. He despised 'uplifting and sweet' stories and loved to twist and distort them into darker satires of themselves. As his powers let him jump from world to world, he didn't come during the merge but rather AFTER. His curiosity peaked, he's hitched a ride with their group to see what will come of this 'tangled mess of a reality'. His shtick is taking old stories of pre-merge life and twisting them darker versions for the amusement of the crowd.

Origami a french thief who once had an artifact that allowed him to turn into weaponized paper. After the merge it became useless, but through doing services to Samdei he eventually gained enough boons to regain his powers. He works his paper magic as an act and sometimes with Grimm.

Max a 10ft tall giant of a man. They found him crashing from the sky on a deflated balloon of a child actress. He used to work for a sociopath child actress named Darla Dimple.

Bloody Mary her worlds version of the psychotic bloody Mary. Like most of her kind, she lost a good deal of her power coming here. But with the body count she was wracking up in Samdei's name, it was allowing him to grant her more and more boons of borrowed magic... soon... the world would know the twisted madness of Bloody Mary once more.

Odlulu a pre-teen girl that they picked up on the road. She always sports a yellow baseball cap with black stripes and glasses with angular black frames, as well as shoulder-length black hair with a yellow streak. She wears a dress that consists of a long-sleeved top with black and yellow top, and an all-yellow skirt. Her outfit is completed by black socks with white cuffs that she wears up to her knees and blue shoes. She was part of her world's Worldwide Wanderers Society before the merge happen and she found herself all alone. They keep her around for her uncanny ability to find the shortest path to where they're going and finding useful items while she wanders around the places they put on shows. She also works the sound systems for the show.

Vivi who is a curvaceous, vampiric vixen with purple skin, with a Southern belle accent who once ran a "funeral salon". She use to work inside a castle of a brain in a jar trying to take over the world, before a repairman caused the whole thing to blow up. She survived and she was discovered by Odlulu when she was wondering around and came across the ruins of the castle and the coffin Vivi was trap in. Now she works as the makeup girl and has a pretty good singing voice too. As for blood she was delighted to know that she could just buy blood from any hospital and blood bank as there are plenty of vampires around now, with blood that are going to go bad being either sold or just given to them.

Then there are the frog bouncers. Lead by Max they're a group of 13 frogmen bouncers who use to work as security staff for a rock star chicken. Made up of Bucky, Squints, James, Bear, Frans, Samuel, Jerry, Vincent, Dick, Laurence, Kenny and Bob. They handle crowd control and other issues being the roadies when the two Mr. Handy's aren't around.

"Sound and light system is up and ready!" Odlulu shouted from her computer and sound systems. The two Mr. Handy's which Odlulu had named Dip and Chip are making sure all the lights are working.

"Right people, places! We're on in five minutes!" Dr. Facilier shouted as he uses a spelldrive to animate some Voodoo skeletons to take the other band member places while Vivi applies make-up to Baron Samdei, being helped by Max.

After the merge happen and magic going away, it was discovered that there is a work around to no more spell casting magic. By using a spelldrive, which is a mystical computer that can be used to cast spells. It uses "power points" to cast the spells, and each spell uses a different number of power points. The number of maximum power points a spelldrive can contain appears to be three. The user of a spelldrive does not need any specialized mystical knowledge to perform the spells, as the spelldrive does the casting itself.

Of course seeing how the spelldrive comes only from the world that Dib came from and how rare they were already. Getting ahold of one is hard and expensive, as they are very hard to make. Professor Membrane is the only one who makes them and how to recharge them is either buying a replacement cartridge, buying a recharger that slowly recharges the used magic over time by drawing magic from the surroundings or by going to a place where there is passive magic where it will do it on it's own. Or thanks to having a Voodoo god around, Baron Samdei is able to just recharge the spelldrive by casting his magic into it.

"Oui, Dr. Facilier," Max said as he uses powder puff on Samdei and Vivi makes sure the makeup is just right.

Elsewhere in Gravity Falls -

Mable, tried to psyche herself up and go out alone to trick or treat. Being Jelly without Peanut butter was too depressing. So instead she was going as 'Springy'! One of the reject mascots for the 2000 Olympics. Which is just her wearing a suit covered in springs.

Mable rings the doorbell and held out her bag. "Trick or treat!"

The old woman at door glares at Mable seeing who it is at her door. "I recognize you... your stupid gummy worms cost us the cure for cancer! My son is terminal you jackass!"

"Uh...," Mable said nervous.

"Who is it?" an old man inside the house asked.

"Mable Pines!" the old woman shouted out.

"Oh! I'll be right down!" the old man said.

He runs down and starts to punch Mable in the face, her spring suite causes her to bounce right into the fist... over... and over.

Suddenly XJ-1 flies down and stops this.

"Look I'm not saying she doesn't deserve it," XJ-1 said.

"Hey!" shouts Mable.

"But I can't let you do this. This is a grown adult beating a child after all," XJ-1 pointed out.

The elderly couple say nothing, the old woman spits on a handful of candy and throws it at Mable before going back inside and slamming the door. Mable wisely leaves it where it lies.

XJ-1 gave out a sigh and turns to Mable. "Look Mable, this is the 15th house I've had to divert from my patrol and save you. I'm sorry, but I don't have time for this. I need to escort you home so I can focus on looking for the Summerween Trickster."

"Trickster? That thing Soos was talking about?" Mable chuckles. "You don't seriously believe that, do you?"

XJ-1 gaps at her in disbelief. "I- You- Did you seriously- ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!?!"

Mable blanches backward confused at the outburst. "...what?"

"Did you seriously just ask, 'You don't seriously believe that, do you?' To a ROBOT who last week saved your sorry butt from an onslaught of LIVING LEGO PEOPLE who somehow created a seemingly IMPOSSIBLE-TO-DESTROY-LIZARD... again. Out of LEGOS... during the PTSD episode YOU caused in the first place!?!"

Mable was befuddled by how to respond to this. "Uh... yes?"

"Oh for the love of.... Is there a RESET button in your head or something!? I feel like we've gone over this similar conversation with you a dozen times already!" XJ-1 said.

"Oh, come on! Is it so terrible I don't like to think about anything bad or boring and only like to focus on the good in life!?" Mable says with a hopeful smile.

"When it causes problems for other people? YES. YES, it is that terrible!" XJ-1 said as she takes a deep breath. Not because she needs air but to help her systems to cool down from all the heat she's building up. "Look Mable. We're not asking you to stop being YOU. Just for you to be more mindful of other people, to LISTEN to what other people have to say, to be more responsible."

"Responsible?" Mable said as she makes a raspberry noise. "Forget that! I'm freaking 12! I'm a kid, I-"

XJ-1 slams fist into ground, shutting her up. "NO. MABLE. There comes a point where that excuse doesn't cut it anymore! What, just because your a 'kid' that makes any horrible thing you do, okay? We're all just supposed to say 'let kids be kids' whenever your actions screw things up for the rest of us? You're not in a cartoon where you can do what you want and by the next episode everything is back to normal. That's how Spongebob and Patrick acted like, thinking nothing they do is wrong as long as they have fun no matter the cost to others. And look what happen to them. Spongebob is sealed in tank and has no contact at all with anyone thanks to the tubes that filters the water and feeds him. While Patrick was excuted with him only finally getting what he did was wrong when he was being excuted."

Mable whimpers. "But... I just wanted to have fun with my brother this summer! ...maybe find romance?"

"And there's nothing wrong with that... inherently... but even the best of intentions can go horribly wrong if you go about it poorly. You keep going about things the way you do, I GUARANTEE even Dipper will get sick of you! Take it from me Mable, being 'family' may seem like a right. But it can be taken from you as easily as being locked in the closet," XJ-1 said before she grows sad as bad memories of her childhood return, without another word, she grabs Mable and airlifts her home before she can protest further.

As she was flown home Mable thought to herself. 'Stupid robot, what dose she know? No one knows Dipper like me! He loves me! Things... might be weird right now... But that's just because of all those people who came here yelling at me!... He'd never stay mad at me! They'll see! Once things settle down, he'll forgive me like he ALWAYS does and things will be just like they used to be before we came to this stupid place! HOW did they get so many Terminal family member and abducted family member victims to get down here so quickly anyway? They came within hours of him finding that stupid mailbox for crying out loud!'

!

A some weeks back -

Slenderman whistles a certain tune, as he fills up hundreds of envelopes with a special hypnotic powder that would make all the recipients head toward the general area of Gravity Falls at a certain day.

"Ain't I a sinker?" Mocked Slenderman.

!

Near Gravity Falls -

Deep in their lair, Grindelwald busied himself with his experiments. He was surrounded by many jars, filled with items of many worlds; a man made to eat food by a special tunning fork that only made him hungrier and thinner until he died of starvation or until he's made to stop. Already the tunning fork has been used to help people lose weight at a price of course. A caged small imp-like thing made of shadows with beady yellow eyes who if let out could put people's hearts out of their bodies. An Aztec Bloodstone that seemed to be bleeding on it's own. A Flask that had the power to suffocate a target victim by unscrewing the cap. A Sapphire Dragon covered in soot...

He'd discovered that the 'passive abilities still worked, wand-casting abilities don't, borrowed magic worked' rules, although good rules of thumb... didn't account for EVERY variable. Different types of magic from different realms with different rules, reacted differently to each other. And nowhere was that more obvious then Gravity Falls where things just got weird.

Looking at a computer screen Grindelwald, flips through live fees from cameras in several testing rooms. A Luchadore who'd had a magic glass eye inserted in his skull, was slowly restoring the flesh of a weird black puddle. That's kept in a sealed container.

A blue pikmin was being given a devil fruit according to the note that came with it inside the chest it was found inside of. The pikmin was still able to swim perfectly and keep the devil powers. It was still an easily squished idiot unfortunately. On a table are several strawberries to collect the power of the devil fruit incase the pikmin dies.

A quarter was being inserted into an alien called an Asari corpses mouth. The body was discovered inside of a small one person space ship that looked to be shot down and crash into the sea. They learn later of how she came from a future world setting and out in space there are bits and pieces of the world she came from that had just defeated alien robots called Reapers. A loved one from it's memories when alive appears in the room, the alien is then shot and has it's natural biotics harvested, then repeat. There are also other alien corpses that were waiting in the freezer for harvest, a wookie, a krogan and an ewok.

The Kakin Royal Family Seed Urn was still being tested with the first person it was used on. Being held in a cell to see what happens once the egg he swallowed hatches.

All the testing was to see what and how to use any magical item found. To be either be used as tools, sold to buyers or used to make the group more money. Using front companies or giving tools to people who give them their own cut of the profits, giving them the funding to group so that there be more then one source of funds. One of which Grindelwald came up with an idea to use to make the group money in the early days when he was first brought into the group. Thanks to him watching the news on the Middle-East and learning about how blaze was made.

There's a bio potato farm that uses a bag that's always full of potatoes to make more potatoes then they actually farm. The potatoes besides used for foodstuff, are being used as the raw material for a recycler to turn into organic materials that are used in a specially made fabrication machine. That is based on the system that the machine animals use to turn plant matter into blaze. Which is used to create blaze on the industrial scale which is now the main source of fuel. Already making large sums of money for the group and giving them a steady supply of fuel for their operations.

With blaze being a powerful bio-fuel that is plentiful and Eco-friendly and the Gaia Prime company mass producing fabrication machines made to produce blaze on the industrial scale. It caused oil prices to drop as demand for it as fuel fell with people turning to blaze. Not to mention after the merge happen the Middle-East became war torn with many different groups fighting to rule. And with oil not being the only fuel source anymore, the Middle-East being a big name on the world stage fell with the oil price, which for many of the oil rich countries made up more then half of their exports, with the on going wars quickly draining away their savings, many Middle-East countries went bankrupt.

Allow groups like theirs to come in and either steal, trade, or just buy what they need. With other countries having their own issues to deal with thanks to the merge, and how hostile they are to other countries in the first place. And oil which is the main reason why they're important in the first place gone, the Middle-East on the most part with some exceptions was left to fend for themselves. With the on going wars quickly draining away their remaining resources. Leaving the remaining government with less and less to offer in exchange for aid.

Grindelwald couldn't help but smile at that thought. Reminding him of what the magic world had become once their spell casting magic was gone and how low they went trying to regain it. That's when he was then called to the main room. In it Dr. Nimnul was working side-by-side with Professor Chromedome as they rebuilt and remade his old giant laser, with the help of a number of Mr. Handy's. As his employer Chairface Chippendale watches while drinking brandy from a wineglass.

Chairface Chipendale was once a powerful crime lord running the Triggermen on his own world before the merge. Although falling on hard times immediately after the merge as he and his men quickly found themselves like a fish out of water because of how things work in their new world. An argument was made and it was the best thing that could have ever happened to him.

No longer retrained by the semi kid-friendly mindset of his world. That is more common then one would think and forced to reinvent himself after the merge rendered most of his assets worthless. Seeing how only his hideout and his men inside it came from their world. Chairface realized for the first time how him living with a chair for a face made no sense.

After a good deal of experimentation he realized that he unknowingly not only had the power to control chairs but also the ability to give them life! Let them breathe, hear, eat and see. Soon he was murdering hundreds of people at a time either by bludgeoning to death with hundreds of chairs or skewering them with chair shrapnel. Inspired by their boss the other members of the Triggermen became real villains as well.

Then Chairface experimented further. Using the same abilities that allowed him to function as a person and gave life to chairs. Turning them into sentries, guard dogs and even spies, as who'd think twice talking about sensitive information in front of a 'harmless' footstool after all? He was also having a bunch of giant-reinforced steel infused-custom chairs made to hopefully act as his enforcers soon. But he still has his loyal men who followed him even in the bad times after the merge happen.

Yep, in one year he'd become more powerful and more feared then he'd EVER been back home. And most of all he didn't had the Trick to show up and slam a building on top of him... again. Grindelwald and Killbane were seriously thinking of inviting Chairface to replace 'Darks'.

Grindelwald sighed, the whole, 'Marshal, Carter, and Darks' thing. Had started simply as code names to hide their identities and dealings from others back when their organization was getting started.... but somehow... it evolved into their BRAND. The name 'Marshal, Carter, and Darks' was on the fast track on becoming a great criminal power!

They had the assets, the capital, manpower AND the magic. All they needed was 'street cred' in having their name known within certain circles of the rich and powerful. And cutting off some of the dead weight.

Hopefully, tonight would take care of the former... Voldermort may have been an idiot who was never able to conquer his own country never mind others... but credit where credit was due... The man understood the benefits of 'reputation'. Even at Grindelwalds peak he never got people to fear even saying his very name.

As for the later...

Well, Killbane was Marshal, he was Carter and Darks... was ANNOYING. True, they'd reached out to him in the beginning both out of necessity and practicality... and although he was still useful in making contacts. His constant whining and demands were starting to get on everyone nerves.

Still, just getting ride of him would cause too much trouble and they'd invested too much into their brand to just ruin it. Hopefully tonight Chairface would prove a worthwhile investment to replace Darks... or maybe Nimnul! Or even Chromedome... or someone... ANYONE. 'Darks' had to go, it was only a matter of time before Killbane just snapped and hang the consequences.

Speaking of Killbane...

"Alright, the 'gang' is getting restless how long before we get this up, running and blowing the Man in the Moon's sorry ass to kingdom come?" said Killbane. Which caused Nimnul to suddenly look nervous.

"Uh... actually sir... Grindelwald ordered me to forget that and convert the device to a tractor beam," Nimnul said as he quickly hides behind the beam.

"WHAT!?!" Killbane growls snapping a nearby iron plate in two with his punch.

"Temper, temper. My good man. Their is no force on this planet- that we know of or can reliably control -that can destroy the Man in the Moon. There's also the fact that if we did manage to blow him to pieces, said pieces would rain down on us. The more feasible option is to 'distract' him long enough for this hallowed day to be over. Once Summerween is over and done with, any death or damage done to his pawns will be permanent and irreversible even for him and he'll have no choice but to accept our 'replacements' lest a mystic power vacuum destroy his beloved holidays for good...," Grindelwald explains unafraid and resolute. (6)

"And then we rake in the dough having our allies use their newly stolen power over all things holiday-related. To give bad luck to the various holiday related business we haven't invested in as well as good luck to the one's we HAVE invested in. Yeah, yeah. I was at the meeting when we discussed the dang plan," Killbane said and turns to the two cowering scientists.

"Remember you're blood pressure," Chairface said reminding Killbane to calm himself down.

"Okay... is it ready to INCAPACITATE the Man in Moon, then?" he stresses the incapacitate bit with irritation.

Chromedome begins to sweat bullets and cough nervously. "Well... we've successfully restored power to the Lunar Locket stolen from those Xialolin monks and we've equipped it to the beam, it's power enhanced a million fold! And so... factoring all that, in addition to having the element of surprise... while also factoring in the fact that the entities moon isn't as Malleable as the Monk's worlds moon as well as consideration we must give that the moon in question is constantly flickering in and out of reality-"

"Get to the point poindexter!" Killbane annoyed by the rambling and impatient. Causing Chromedome to gulp and sweat even more.

"We believe we can have the moon in complete control... for 10 seconds!" he says that last part quickly as he and Nimnul jump for cover.

"10 SECONDS!?!" Killbane shouts as he destroys a steel girder by bending it.

Thanks to controlling the plasmids and vigors black market, Killbane has been able to strengthen his aging body back to it's prime and stronger then ever. After making sure what he's using is safe that is. Wouldn't do for him and his men who take the plasmids and vigors to become like those splicers in that underwater city. Nimnul and Chromedome were the ones who discovered that the drinkable plasmids is much safer then the needle type. Seeing how there weren't any splicers in that flying city, unless you drink a whole bunch of it at once that is. And drinking water down plasmids so that his body can get use to it little by little over a month has done wonders for Killbane. And why he's doing his best not to crush the two nerds. (7)

"10 seconds is all we'll need," Grindelwald said still calm, cool and collected.

"10 SECONDS!?!" Killbane shouts as he throws a hapless Mr. Handy to its death.

Nimnul still shaking, he pops his head out from behind cover. "Uh... we could still do my idea."

Grindelwald not even bothering to look at him as he interrupts him and brings up a holo-screen. "We're NOT turning the moon to cheese to crash the stock-market on our terms Nimnul... that doesn't even make sense..."

"Actually, I looked over his data and it's actually not as unfeasible as it," Chromedome said sticking his head out and back again once Killbane snarls at him. "Eep! Never mind!"

Both scientists immediately hide again.

"My good man, I do believe your forgetting one rather BIG factor...," Grindewald smirks and shows him the holo-screen... Killbanes angry face morphs to confusion... then stunned understanding... then vicious triumph.

"You magnificent, mad bastard!" Killbane said looking to him with new found respect, then let's out a laugh and turns to the intercom. "Doris! Send something sparkly up! I'm in the mood to go nuts!"

"Uh... sir? This is Carl? From accounting?" the voice on the phone said.

"Fine! Back to work!" Killbane grumbles and tries to call Doris again. "Doris, wine!"

"Still me, sir...," Carl said.

"Oh, for the love of!" Killbane said as there was a reason he left technology concerns to Matt and the Deckers. "Stupid piece of junk!"

He dials again.

"That better not be you again Carl!" Killbane said.

"Uh... no sir, this is Sidney from HR," a female voice said.

While Killbane dealt with that, Grindelwald called forward their allies.

Oogie Boogie: a living sack of creepy crawlies with a gambling addiction. He longs to crush Sandy Claws and Jack Skelington!

Other Mother: Feeding off the love and adulation of others, this twisted creatures lures unwanted children, feeds on their life-force through their love, then twists the husks into dolls for her collection...

Fright Knight: This ghostly specter was once the ruler of Halloween in his realm and use to serve the Ghost King. He desires vengeance against Danny Phantom.

Evil Santa from the world of American Dad: This vengeful, sadistic tyrant was striped of his powers and banished from the North-pole by the other santas for his greed, wickedness and rewarding of the NAUGHTY... needless to say, with the Tricksters magic restoring him to full power he's here to settle the score.

Ko the face stealer: Like most spirits from Korra's realm, he lost everything after the Merge... with his powers now restored he wants mortals to remember to FEAR him once more!

All of them restored to full power through the Tricksters blessing (they had to agree to make 'loser candy' popular after this whole thing... completely stupid... but Grindelwald wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth here). It would only last until the first light of the day AFTER Summerween... but that be all the time they needed.

"Right, you all know what to do?" Grindelwald said.

"Don't worry buddy boy! We cause havoc, settle old scores, all the while drawing attention from and protecting good old 'Sammy' as he works his magic to crush all those do-gooder holiday leaders on the ass-end of the world!" Oogie said.

"Once their all dead, we'll absorb and share the holiday magic with each other! We'll divide holiday responsibilities among ourselves and any of your cronies if we have extra days available... for the record I call dibs on Valentine's day... (does cats cradle with a bunch of screaming paper dolls)... so many wayward hearts... so little time...," Other-Mother said.

"I don't see Professor Ludwig von Tökkentäkker anywhere...," Ko said.

"As he has more men then the rest of you, he felt it necessary to get them ready early. Rest assured, they'll be ready to be empowered and begin the assault when we begin...," Grindelwald said.

And then... he showed up...

Samhain the origin of Halloween. The Celts believe that October 31st was the one night of the year when the veil was thinnest between the living and the dead, and it was Samhain's night. When he reigned on Earth on Halloween night, people kept their children indoors. They wore masks to hide from him, carved faces into pumpkins to worship him, and left sweets at their doors to appease him. There would be no Halloween without him. It had taken considerable effort to summon him and additional bargaining for the Summerween Trickster to agree to bless him as well, in exchange for Summerween would be celebrated everywhere OUTSIDE of Gravity Falls from now on... which was actually the first smart demand he'd made much to their surprise. Lacking a body, they had to make one for him. Grafted together from the best dead/alive body parts and organs they could find and interwoven with mystic enhancements and esoteric surgical enhancements.... also a self-destruct device in case he got ideas.

He alone had the know-how and the power to harness the passive magic of Gravity Falls on this hallowed night... and use it to raise the army of the undead to strike at their enemies. Well enemies that were on hallowed land filled with holiday magic in any case a constraint that made Killbane grumble to no end. In other words, aside from the North Pole, Gravity Falls and the few other places that's has passive magic. Anywhere else in the world is simply too straining and difficult to be worth the effort.

Samhain gestures to the rune circle he made with his own blood and the entrails of three virgin 'volunteers', homeless who no one would really put an effort in to search for. "I am ready, I will begin the first phase of my meditation and the ritual. Remember, channeling all that raw power through me and into our troops will leave me completely helpless. This physical form you've given me is strong, but if it's destroyed, our army will perish and the rest of you will be depowered..."

"Indeed, did you also acquire what I asked for?" Grindelwald said.

Samhain nodded and gestured to among other things; a gold coffin and black box. He puts the coffin aside and gives the black Box to Evil Santa.

"Yeah, yeah. We know the score, when do we start dancing to screams!? I gotta date with a pumpkin headed creep!" Oogie said.

Grindelwald agreed with Oogie, order them all to take their places and for Samhain to begin his meditation... all they needed to do was wait for the beam to reach critical mass... and they'd be ready to begin...

Gravity Falls -

Marcaline waved toward the people at fair as she finished her latest song along with her new band. Who are made up of some of the videogame cast members from the Darkstalkers game. First is Lord Raptor a fellow undead rocker with an axe, Demitri Maximoff a fellow vampire on the keyboards, Hsien-Ko is on the drums, while her twin sister Lei-Lei playing the sax, and Jedah Dohma who is the bassist.

With no place to call home, many of the videogame characters ended up living at the Maw. Sunset is making plans in opening up a theme park base around videogames which would employ many of the jobless videogame characters but is tied up in red tape with the different game companies. Till then many of the videogame characters are working at the casinos for meet and greets or showing up at the other parks. That has gotten lots of fans to come to meet them.

"Thank you! You've been wonderful! Up next we have the master of all that goes bump in the night, the lord voodoo himself! Baron Samdei! But first, the standard warm-up act. Harry the Albino Werewolf doing... something...," Marceline as she left the stage her her band mates.

The Scary Godmother's lazy roommate Harry walked up to the mike, adjusted his notes and coughed to clear his throat, he raised his hand, opened his mouth wide. "The Aristocrats-"

A large anthropomorphic Tomato is thrown at him, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey! I don't care how bad he is, we do NOT throw tomato's in this town!" Bob the Tomato shout as he jumps off the stage as everyone laughs as Harry got back up.

"As, I was saying, The Aris...." Harry began to say but was hit with a pie this time. He wipe off the mess by eating it before looking around the laughing crowd. "Ok who did that?"

At a stand selling pies, Scary Godmother was whistling as she handed human Applejack the money for the pie she just thrown. She was still mad at Harry for that bill for all of those pizzas he gotten.

Dipper laughed along with everyone else. It had been a bit awkward at first to be almost naked at a party... but Wendy was handling it well. She and Tambry had showed up at the fair and join him and the others. And once he got over the embarrassment of having his butt pinched, slapped, his waistband snapped, his loincloth knots playfully almost undone multiple times by the girls... and Tambry... and a couple other cute girls (who he was fairly certain slipped something in his drink while he wasn't looking)... that had wolf whistled at him...

In any case, he was learning to love it! He was having a great time! And maybe it was the several pints of alcohol he'd already ingested... but he was seriously considering just letting Pacifica succeed in stealing his loincloth already... just run home naked! Why not? YOLO!

And then all thoughts left him... as HE came on the stage...

The Baron himself...

Aside from Max on the electric keyboard... all other band members were ghosts, ghouls, or zombies... all raised from the dead right before their eyes... While expect for the purple vampress who acting as a back up singer with two other undead ladies.

He playfully teases the audience...

He starts out slow...then really gets into it! just in time for the sparklers!

Meanwhile, near the Santa North Pole which rest on the northern most tip of Greenland... hundreds of stealth submarines that had been getting in place for weeks... began to unload thousands upon thousands of corpses from their cargo bay's... all slowly rising to the surface of the arctic waters...

The Man in the Moon watched from above as everyone had a fun time during this 'Summerween' celebration... not a care in the world...

Grindewald patiently watched as the beam reached 95%... and rises...

Dipper, feeling all kinds mischievous and daring. When he was sure no one was looking, he jumped up onto a pole, climbed up it, ready to ripped off his loincloth and swung it around above his head, hooting like the semi-drunk, naked maniac he was...

...Until he saw... Wendy staring at him... her eye's perfectly level to his exposed shortcoming as he was lifting his loincloth up to rip it off...

His bravado and confidence now gone... he blushes and gulps nervously...

To his surprise... she just smiles?

She lifts up her fury bikini top, flashes him, tongue stuck out impishly at him AND complete with a playful wink?!

Dipper is so stunned, he doesn't notice/care that Pacifica takes the opportunity to swipe his loincloth from his hand and hides it behind her back.

A naked Dipper stands proudly, unashamed and joyful above all thinking, 'BEST. NIGHT. EVER."

...So of course the Moon chooses THEN to blow up.....

!

In Space -

Well... to be more specific, the second moon was slammed into the first Moon.

Which to be more specific in what happen. The entity known as the Man in the Moon's and his home was forcibly smashed against the ancient alien observation platform that was disguised as a 2-D model of the moon by a 10-second tractor beam before it shorted out...

Which, ordinarily wouldn't have been a problem for the Man in the Moon. Who although a bit disoriented and dizzy would eventually would have been fine...

Except that the first moon immediately struck back...

Which is in fact the ancient, automated defense systems of the advanced alien platform came back online, registering the other moon as what attacked it, analyzed and traced the epicenter of the moons power to a higher-level entity known as the 'Man in the Moon', adjusted it's weapons to compensate for the moon phasing in and out of reality and then attacked with the fury of an entire galactic armada! (8)

Now, if it were any other moon... it would've been reduced to astro-dust within minutes.

But THIS. WAS. NO. MERE. MOON.

This was the Man in the Moon's domain and he was PISSED! It would take a couple days, but this facsimile moon would be reduced to scrap! And all done in a way that wouldn't endanger the earth or effect the ecosystems. And was joined by some of his friends who could survive in space.

Sadly... this would be too late for anyone of concern...

!

Back on Earth -

"NOW!" Grindelwald shouted out the moment the Moons banged together

Samhain activated the ruin circle and began both his meditation cycle and his incantations... soon, as much passive power of Gravity Falls as he could muster would be relayed to all their allies, who would in turn relay it to their troops...

Without missing a beat, Grindelwald marched up to Chromedome and Nimnul who were gaping at the burnt out remains of the tractor beam...

"Right, you two salvage what you can from this then evacuate immediately. All non-combat personal, crucial equipment, and research material have all already been safely sent elsewhere. I'll be joining you shortly," Grindelwald said and turns to Chairface and his men who were unloading hundreds of chairs into the room. "I leave Samhain's protection in your capable hands Chairface."

Chairface snaps his fingers to turn dozens of chairs into snarling animals. "It will be my pleasure..."

He drinks more brandy from his wineglass as the chair he sits on lifts into the air... along with hundreds of others... ready to strike at a moments notice. While his men broke out the army grade weapons they have gathered as well as a few blasters. They quickly began securing the room and the building, ready for what will come at them.

Grindelwald turns to Samhain. "I trust you'll also take care of that OTHER matter I mentioned?"

Samhain said nothing, but an energy spike plus his own sources would later confirm it done.......

!

Ghost Realm -

Seeing what’s happening to Man In The Moon, Clockworks was about to help his friend when he was blasted by a powerful blast of energy. Clockworks tried to sense who attack him but something was hiding the one or ones from him. He tried to use his time powers but to his surprise whoever is attacking him could still attack while time was frozen. Meaning whatever is shielding the one attacking him is very powerful to hide from his powers.

"Who are you?" Clockworks ask finding it odd he can't sense anything or see anything. A rare thing for him to experience.

"Villains!" a voice shouted out.

Clockworks raised his staff as four figures flew at him at super speed and more figures in the background.

!

Elsewhere -

Deep within the mangled ruins of Clappers Wreake. Several men in robes had labored for weeks to consecrate this particular ground... to make it just 'Hallowed' enough...

BOOM!

Out of the ground popped a tree... a mystic yet twisted tree...

Their job done, they make sure the tree is concealed from all forms of discovery by man... and steal into the night...

Never noticing the single inverse Dalmatian that watched the whole thing with awe...

"The end times are truly NIGH...." Dante said to himself.

!

Gravity Falls -

Things happened very fast in Gravity Falls. First Professor Ludwig von Tökkentäkker, empowered by Samhain, resurrected almost all his old team, by bringing Carnevil back to life. Then caused his mooks to multiply greatly before empowering the lot to be even stronger.

Ko the face stealer, Other Mother, Oogie and Fright Knight would channel the power given to them by Samhain to summon a more traditional army of nightmares. Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, ghouls and brainwashed spiders wanting more.

Oogie immediately transforms into his 'filthy Finale' form and appeared in front of his old foe. "OH, JACK! I'm BACK!"

Jack looks enraged seeing his old foe return to life. "OOGIE!"

"We meet again Danny Phantom...," Fright Knight greeted his old foe. Blocking his path as he was flying in to help.

"Whoa, Fright Knight! Where you been? I thought you made a deal with Vald... but then nothing?" Danny asked confused and surprised.

Fright Knight just shrugs. "Yeah... I don't really know what happen there. I suddenly found myself in a strange limbo of... non-existence and irrelevance? ...it was almost like the creator of our world had plans for me... but then didn't know what to do with me and eventually forgot about me?... it was weird..."

"...huh... odd...," Danny said thoughtful.

There was a long pause between the two...

"Well, anyway," Danny shrugs.

Fright Knight politely nods. "Yes, I quite agree!"

They continued their fight long awaited rematch.

On the ground seeing so many people robbed of their faces, lead Asami and Korra to realize Ko was on the prowl. They quickly stole some masks from a stand and took off to find the spirit. Finding him as he was chasing some kids, Asami used a laser gun she kept on her and Korra began throwing fireballs at Ko. Their attacks knock Ko to the ground and the spirit turn his attention onto them.

Other Mother lead a swarm of giant spiders to fight the Scary Godmother as she and her roommates; Harry, Skully Pettiebone, Buga-boo, Count Max, Countess Ruby, Professor Toad and Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud protected the young trick-or-treaters. Sunset's family are using their real weapons to fight off the spiders and the other attacks trying to get to the kids they're protecting.

"Mike! Get Boo out of here!" Scully shouts as he runs to join the fight. Slamming into a bunch of skeletons and leaving behind him a bunch of broken bones.

Mike runs alongside Sam and Max who were desperately trying to get Issac to safety as well only to get whacked from behind and watch as Lock, Shock, and Barrel grab Boo and Issac, rushing off laughing in the enchanted bathtub...

Only for Barrels head to be blown off by a pea-shooter... every-yard was full of Zombie-phobic, trigger happy, mutant plants... and this Summerween's day... Christmas had come early to ALL of them... Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud's own Halloween tree was ESPECIALLY enthusiastic to crack some Zombie heads. Although that might have just been his attempt to impress the cute Blooming Heart that was growing in the garden next to him.

!

Townsvile -

All over town, hidden thugs used stolen size-crystals on Pikmin monsters; Emperor Bulblax, Fiery Bulblax, Empress Bulblax, Beady Long Legs, Man-at-Legs, Waterwraith, Raging Long Legs, Scornet Maestro,Titan Dweevil, and the Quaggled Mireclops. All are grown to enormous size, all are equipped with the special oxygen harnesses that Professor Utonium made to allow the now friendly giant monsters of his world to breathe in this less-oxygen rich world, all equipped with mind-control implants.

The mind-control implants were basic and could only make them obey the most simple commands... but that was fine... they were only needed to cause chaos and keep the Power Puff Girls and other hero's distracted while Samhain did his work...

!

Back in Gravity Falls -

Sam riddles Lock and Shock with bullets as Max rescues Issac and Boo.

"You think this will finally be what it takes for Congress to revoke our franchise?" Max said.

"Don't break the fourth wall chowderhead! We have enough financial troubles as it is!" Sam

Mike thanks them kindly... then grabs Boo and slowly backs away from the two nutjobs with guns. Who are spraying the attacking undead with bullets.

!

The North -

The North pole was at death con red! The guardians and many other battle ready allies were fighting tooth and nail against the zombie hordes, fortunately they were very weak individually. Enough blows turned them into black goop. The elves and yetis broke out the weapons and activated the robots security mode to fight off the zombies. The robots having come from Mr. House to help the santa's and made good PR. Who also setup some defenses like auto guns and such just in case, as the main HQ for the santa's is one of the only places that still has magic. And after what the magic users did trying to regain their lost magic in that blood ritual, the santa's agreed to setting up some defenses just in case, some magic users wanted to try something like that with the North Pole.

The elves weren't just the normal Christmas Elves but also elves from many different worlds. While there are the small and short elves there are also the tall elves from more fantasy world settings what most people thought of what an elf is like thanks to the Lord of the Rings books and films. The more modern elves from the worlds of Harry Potter, American Dragon, and Juniper Lee had an easier time adjusting to their new world after the merge. With the fall of the magical world the elves from the ones who came from Potter's world could now be found working odd jobs where they are paid for their work and for the most part treated alot better. Most office and hotels in Europe have a team of elves who work as the live in cleaning staff.

The ones who still live in the forest and use bows and swords on the other hand had a harder time adjusting. Not to mention how some come off as being snobs and look down at other races. While others because of how different they are from other elves, mostly the small ones or like the elves from the world of 'The Dragon Prince' world having horns and four finger hands made them too different for some elves. Then there are the elves who act anything like what some elves think they should act like. Like the elves who live in the Enchanted Forest, a trailer park in rural Mississippi where they stay because their world government pays them to not cause any trouble with the humans, and their Queen Ilrondelia fits every white trash stereotype to a sickening degree.

Now in the new merge world many of the elves were hit hard with how their new world works. With many of them having to work for a living and learning new trade skills. Then there was the fact that some elves mostly those who are immortal, found out that in this new world they're no longer immortal. Many turn old and died fast because of magic being the reason why they were immortal in the first place. Other elves on the other hand who had long lifespans did better.

Then word spread about how the North Pole had entire communities full of elves who work for the santa's. Many elves who are down on their luck made their way to the North Pole often by signing up for work where one of the santa's drive a flying bus to take them to the North Pole. There where passive magic flows, many elves found themselves being able to use abilities that they lost because of the lack of magic. The elves work jobs that either working in the factories or in jobs that support the factories and the workers. The santa's also made money by using their factories to make things for companies and ship them out. Seeing how they have all year to make presents and the new rule in gift giving is that every good boy and girl is only given one present, allowing the the workload in free present be lighter.

Now with the zombie attack the elves who use to be warriors put their skills in good use. Grabbing guns and taking aim, the elves began blowing the heads of the zombies. Still, as a horde the zombies were formidable. As were their ghost and monster allies. And it didn't help that numerous submarines kept rising up and to release more reinforcements as well as laying down artillery fire.

And it didn't help things that they'd been completely cut of from the Man in the Moon! He was focusing everything he had on his current battle... for better or for worse... there be no help from there...

Most of the more 'family-friendly' santa's had already evacuated with their friends and families to the bunkers. Said bunkers were the places getting most pelted by the missile barrage. The elves had put up candy cane dust forcefields, but they didn't have enough power to keep them up constantly in addition to keeping up their own Candy-Cane artillery barrage.

"I told you we should have spent the extra thousand on an upgrade!" a elf said who is controlling one of the gun turrets.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" another elf shouted.

So they had to be careful to turn it on, only when they were about to be hit.

"Hey! Some of these are duds! I'm not detecting any explosive material on them," a elf a computer shouted out.

"Dang it! We must have a mole! They knew about our limited supply of energy and must be trying to make us drain it faster!" the elf leader of the control room said as he adjusts the tracker. "Attention! I've just modified the scanners to detect all duds! Ignore them! Let them threw if you have to! We can survive some damaged walls, we CAN'T survive a bomb!"

Although concerned at first, seeing many duds shatter harmlessly on the encampment reassured them to focus on the fight at hand...

!

Gravity Falls -

Baron Samdie sighs at all the destruction and carnage that was once a raging party. "I just know I'm going to get blamed for this..."

He was quickly garbed by Max who shields him with his body. Taking him back stages as the frog bouncers were beating back the undead horde attacking. The rest of the crew were busy grabbing their stuff and equipment and loading them into the cars. Facilier was trying very hard to stay cool in front of his subordinates and to not panic.

"Yes, well. That'll be PR's concern. Everyone, to me! Were blowing this dump!" Facilier said as he raises up a spelldrive.

"Come on! Can't I stay and cause a LITTLE murder and Mayhem?" Bloody Mary said exasperated.

Facilier again, trying VERY hard not to snap at her, but clearly at his wits end. "Heh, heh. SWEETIE. We've been over this! Given our 'extra-curricular activities'. We can't afford to draw attention to ourselves. Especially HERE of all places, understand?"

"Besides, your still not at full power. As you are now, you'd be flatten in this battle titans!" Mr. Sunshine said.

Mary grumbles... but complies...

"Got the loot!" Croco shouted who had braved the attacking horde to get to all the stands they were renting for the event. And took all the cash boxes and emptied out the cashiers.

Faciler then makes them all poof away...

!

Back at the battle -

Dipper was the first to start moving when everything went to shit. He still naked, but he didn't care and quickly used up his 5 shots with the slow bolts as he calls them, slowing the attacking minions allowing others to escape or cause them to run into each other because the one in the lead suddenly stopped. His main priority was keeping the girls safe. Which he found that the girls weren't as helpless as he thought.

Pacifica rips off her toga and fake snake hair to reveal a crop-top, skort and several holsters with REAL laser guns. After the debacle at Pioneer day, she was taking no more chances. She'd already lost one friend that she had just made and who gave up his life for hers... NEVER AGAIN. Sometimes it was nice to have a family with more riches then sense. She gave Dipper back his loincloth and one of her guns and they started blasting at the attacking horde.

Wendy alternated between Deer and human as she kicked ass and took names. Her poor outfit got destroyed the first transformation. But ignores her nudity in favor of survival. Twilight had reluctantly ditched her Starswirl costume so she could engage in combat fully. Using her telekinesis to throw the attacking horde around and protecting as many people as she could.

Meanwhile, Six went full HUNGER MODE and Ronnie transformed, thankful she'd thought ahead and altered her costume to stretch with her. Lincoln still in his princess costume drove into the firework launcher controls and began firing the fireworks into the sky hitting the flying enemies.

Star and Marco were one of the first to fight, their leaves were quick to fall. But not caring or noticing and focusing on protecting others, they continued to fight unashamed. Joined by many fighters from different fighting games, which some are wearing the outfits of other fighting games. Like Ryu and Scorpion wearing the other outfit, Akuma and Shan Tsung, Cammy and Sonya, Shao Kahn and Bison, Ken and Terry, and Chun-Li and Mai. And thankfully the zombies aren't the kind that turn people they bite into more zombies.

Stump in the power loader is standing guard at the entrance of a store keeping the attacking horde from entering and getting to the people inside. Daggett and Norbert are armed with blasters that Stump had with him in the suit. Are giving him covering fire and blasting anyone who tries to climb on the power loader. Joined by Ralph who got all the Sugar Rush kids into the store and stood guard with the trio.

Nearby Marceline and her band are in the thick of it. Her Darkstalker band mates are using their powers to tear through the horde of attacking undead as well as the minions from Carnevil. Together they quickly cleared a path to safety for people to flee where they hide inside the buildings around them. Where the robots are protecting them with their blasters.

Above them Sunset riding on her aunt Luna's back is knocking down the flying enemies, with Sunset using her spear and Luna her telekinesis. They're not alone as Dani and XJ-1 are taking care of all the flying minions and their energy blasts are bringing down the ghosts. They're also leading the giant baby Junior away from the town.

Marceline laughs as she looks around while slicing a clown and a zombie in two with her axe. Then sucking up the ghosts trying to attack her, adding their power to hers. "Booze, drugs, naked people and giant monsters! It's Budapest all over again!"

Bubblegum frowns as she blasts a zombies head off with her ray gun. "You remember Budapest VERY differently then what I saw..."

"Yeah there weren't any killer clowns!" Marceline said as she lets a clown stab her so she could chop its head off. The stab wound healing in seconds. Marceline then spotted something. "Or evil santa knock-offs.

Robbie who was still pleased with himself for stealing that runts clothes. Had bumped into a resurrected Krampus. Who recognized him immediately and made the beating he gave him last time look like a scuffle. That only ended when Marceline spotting the pair flew in and cut Krampus's head off in one swing. Leaving Robbie to crawl away trying not to be noticed by anymore of the attacking undead or monsters.

!

North Pole -

The guardians were cleaving through the zombie horde when the artillery on their end stopped firing.

"What the?" Jack Frost ask.

Their coms suddenly buzzed to life.

"SIR! They tricked us! The duds were actually- GAH!" the elf on the other end being cut off.

"Red Leader! Speak to me!" North shouted into the com but gets nothing but static.

They look back... and see most of home base in shambles. The duds indeed hadn't been full of explosives, they were deliberately made to look as shoddy and harmless as possible... all to distract from THEM.

In each dude had been a canister of Monster Blood (Goosebump, IV Blue variant). Once shattered on impact, they quickly sucked up the water in the snow and multiplied rapidly and like piranhas they eventually became nasty enough to rip people open to get the 'liquid' inside of them.

The guardians could sense MANY of their holiday leader friends dying.

And that wasn't the worst thing!

"LOOK!" Tooth said flying high in the air.

That hadn't been the only thing in the duds. Reverse engineered from the Iron Giant himself, bit of special parts rolled from their various impact carters and sought out the sludgy remains of all the fallen zombies behind them.

And one by one... THEY rose from the goo...

Twisted, goo-like abominations, muddled together with creepy doll parts and Victorian style clockpunk/Steampunk.

These would later be named Ruins after the enemies from Alice: Madness Returns.

Insidious Ruin: A hunchbacked creature with two arms, four spindly legs, a doll's head for a face and a small motor in its back. It is about the same size as a normal human and seems to be the most common type of Ruin.

Drifiting Ruin: A small, jellyfish–like creature with the ability to float. It can shoot pieces of Ruin at it's target that harden into spikes on contact with the ground.

Menacing Ruin: A large creature similar to Insidious Ruin, but far more intimidating. It has three doll heads on its "face" and three arms–one large Ruin arm and two smaller doll arms near its faces. In addition to its basic swipes, the Menacing Ruin can run over people, create powerful shock waves, or throw balls of burning Ruin at anyone.

Colosal Ruin: The strongest Ruin creature that is currently known and it resembles a massive worm with stumpy legs at its base and many doll heads dotted around its body.

Ruins and Monster blood coming from the north and more zombies and other cretins pouring in from the south.

"Pincer movement... we're boxed in... clever girl...," Bunnymund said.

A Menacing Ruin choose that moment to stampede at him...

And just when it looked like things couldn't get worse... they did...

Samhain laughs as he suddenly glows brighter! "Yes, I reached the next Apex! The second part of the ritual can begin!"

Soon, EVERY ally felt their power rise to greater heights! Their minions in turn, were given even greater power!

Where was once lowly zombies... now were remade as the Army of Decay! Which the people from the world of the Winx Club recognized.

Various items that Samhain had gathered, begin to glow and activate...

Gravity Falls -

All across Gravity Falls, Hell portals open. Freeing the Four fallen Cardinal Virtues; Fortitudo, Temperantia, Iustitia, Sapientia. All of whom were sent to Hell by a witch name Bayonetta.

Fortitudo takes the form of a two-headed dragon (which function as hands) coated in metal armor on the heads, necks, and partly on the wings, with jewels of similar colors on each forehead. The color of this armor is different for both sides, the left being blue and the right being red. His most prominent feature is the large upside-down face (which is a common trait on most Laguna, particularly his fellow Auditio) on his chest, which he talks through and operates his entire body with.

Temperantia appearance is based loosely on a knight, though without legs and his head is in his chest. His arms are attached to his body via an orange light, and rotating golden rings. On the end of these arms are four tube-like appendages each able to fire bullets, which act similarly to hands. Along parts of his body are hemispheres, each with a pulsing spot in them (that bleed when hit, suggesting he is biological under his armor), five in total, one on each arm, two on the bottom of the main body and one on his back. His human-like face (a trait among most Laguna) is, unlike other Auditio, the only head he has (Fortitudo had three, Iustitia had seven and Sapientia had five.) His forehead has a large yellow sphere embedded in it.

Iustitia is hideous amalgamation of faces, and tentacles fused into a ball. Iustitia has fifteen faces in total. The adult faces have massive tongues protruding from their mouths, ending in child faces (with expressions representing euphoria for the first face, the rage for the second and despair for the third). The last can only be seen briefly, and it is also child-like with which he also communicates. This last "young" face is hidden on top of its body, beneath its halo. Iustitia has six total tentacles, three that merely protrude from its body and the other three mentioned above (acting as tongues) that are connected to the main organs that vaguely resemble hearts. It is said that Destroying the tongues' faces reveals a pair of reptilian eyes. Iustitia's tentacles are barbed and can release a powerful toxin. It also has a curious glow that seems to emanate from its back. Huge sheet-like glowing crystals spike out from its sides.

Sapientia's appearance is that of an armored dragon at first. Though it is said that toward a battle's end, if his horns and wings are destroyed. He'll take on the appearance of an oversized reptile. He also has porcelain faces on his legs and a face on his main head, near his bottom chin. His face parts seem reversed, as his "eye" is near his chin, while his mouth is located on his forehead. Like most of the powerful angels, he is adorned with lustrous metals and jewels. Strangely, his metallic appearance is never lost. As usually, it is said the angel reveals musculature when they are seriously wounded. But he'll retain his machine-like appearance, even if one were to dismember him. He also has to turn silver fans on his flat joints (beneath his halos), and two silver turbines on his neck.

"CALL EVERYONE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! ALL SCP UNITS ARE HERE BY ACTIVATED!" XJ-9 shouted who has been monitoring everything that's been happening and calling up whatever aid she could find. Her sisters are out fighting along side with the Man in the Moon, while XJ-1 is all by herself at Gravity Falls.

"Jenny go I'll handle things from here," GAIA Prime said.

"Right mom," Jenny said taking off.

Elsewhere -

As Evil Santa eagerly gathers all the holiday energy from all the fallen santa's for himself... the black box from Samhain begins to glow... as does his summerian stones.

"Oh, goodie! My favorite part of ANY game," he pauses that thought to hold up the stones to summon an army of Summerian giants to join the battle. "Suden death."

He turns to the box, just as it falls apart... revealing a naked, emaciated elderly man with a santa cap on his withered head... he glares at Evil Santa. Who is better known to the SCP as the Yule Man, SCP-4666.

Evil Santa cackled seeing the Yule Man just as wicked as ever. "Time to play old friend..."

Elsewhere -

Despite still focusing on channeling the insane amount of power through his being, Samhain was able to smile... it took considerable time and energy to both find and revive him to full power... but it was worth it...

The golden Sarcaphogus shake and cackled with power before it's inhabitant broke free.

Dio Brando from the world of 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure' took his first breath of air in centuries...

Dio Brando sigh as he turns to Samhain. "Right, in accordance with the pact I made to you as a spirit in the inferno, I must serve you..."

Samhain smirks seeing the powerful vampire before him. "Yes... but not to worry, I rather think you'll enjoy working for me. Example: There's a vampire in town named Marceline who fancies herself ruler of all vampires..."

"Does she now?" Dio Brando grins wickedly.

"Yes... your first assignment is to... 'disabuse' her of such a notion... and remind her of her TRUE place in the order of things....," Samhain said.

"With pleasure!" Dio cackles.

And with that he was gone...

Near Gravity Falls -

Slenderman stands over the burning town, flask held high. "Ho, ho, ho! Merry SUMMERWEEN! One and all!"

!

Nearby -

"OH YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN GET INTO THIS PARTY!" Bill Cipher said spying on Slenderman.

"This is too good to pass up," Him said who joined Bill to watch the show.

A portal opens up from behind him as a small brown haired child wearing a green hooded coat step out of it.

"AH CHARA YOU BEEN A GOOD KID AND GOT ALL THE GUESTS?" Bill ask.

Chara just smiled as she lifts up an old oil lantern and opens it. Him produces a small flame which he toss into the lantern lighting it up. A shadowman with large antlers on his head appeared once the lantern was lit. The Beast took the lantern from Chara before looking at Bill and Him.

"I see, I have you two to thank for my return," the Beast said.

"You have Chara there to thank for finding your lantern," Him pointed out.

Another portal opens up.

"AH HERE'S THE OTHERS," Bill said.

Stepping out of the portal is a very large girl who is dress like a powerpuff girl but her outfit is purple. She is Bunny the 4th sister who because of how badly she was created by her 3 sisters. When she used her powers to much to save them her unstable body blew up. Now she's been brought back to life by Him and gain 3 new sisters, the Powerpunk Girls.

Berserk is the opposite of Blossom and the self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpunk Girls. She is cruel, bossy, mean, controlling and sarcastic, whereas Blossom is caring, nice, sweet, polite, and smart. Like Blossom, she has long, red hair held by a skull-and-cross-bones barrette and a large, messy red ribbon in her hair, as opposed to Blossom's neat bow. She wears a red shirt with a red button and collar. She also has a red plaid skirt, white tights, and black Mary Janes. She's a laid-back, do-what-I-want type of person that possesses little of Blossom's conservative morals of logic. She is also an instigator of conflict between her sisters. Her element is everything nasty and her signature color is deep red. Although she is Blossom's counterpart, she is just as smart. However, unlike Blossom, Berserk uses her intelligence for evil instead of good.

Brat is the opposite of Bubbles. She is sassy, perky, and trouble making. She has a perky attitude, and is the most unintelligent and rowdy one of the group, in contrast to Bubbles who is sweet, friendly, and sensitive. She has long blonde pigtails held by visible, blue bows. Her hair is longer than Bubbles'. Brat wears a blue tank top with a semi-circle neckline at the top that stops above the navel and a black mini-skirt. She wears six bangles on her arms (four blue two yellow). She also wears white tights with black boots. One big difference between Bubbles and Brat is that, while Bubbles is the timid one of her group, Brat doesn't cry. Instead, she only complains. Brat enjoys sassing people and being a troublemaker. Her element is salt and her signature color is cerulean blue.

Brute is the opposite of Buttercup and the third and final member of The Powerpunk Girls. She, like her counterpart Buttercup, is the most violent and rebellious member of the group. However, she is more violent than her Powerpuff counterpart. She sports a black, spiked, rockstar hairstyle and wears a black dress with a blue spiked belt and bracelets, one on each hand. She wears white tights and fishnet stockings, along with black boots. Brute enjoys being rude, crude and gross towards everyone, including her sisters. Brute's element is vinegar. Her signature color is dark green.

Surprisingly with the addition of Bunny to their group, the Powerpunk Girls really acted as sisters now. After Him recreated Bunny and fixed her up from the mess that her other sisters had made of her. Molding her body to be like that of her sister's just bigger, Bunny and her new sisters had really bonded. They still fight but they do now care for each other thanks to Bunny being the heart of the team.

She and her sisters wasn't alone as a Raggy Ann like skin came walking out of the portal as well. It is Exo-Skin, a synthetic skin made to allow Jenny to pass off as a human being, until it gains sentience. Him also brought Exo-Skin back to life.

Stepping out of the portal is the evil duplicate of Juniper Lee. She was created by Demoness who was trying to free her father Cordoth. Him found where she was banished to and like the other two all of them want revenge on their good counterparts.

Followed by Yang Jake, an evil doppelganger that Jake accidentally makes of himself with a negative dragon chi amplifier. Yang Jake's goal is to absorb all of Jake's other doppelgangers so he can overpower and absorb Jake, becoming Jake Long himself. He held the thermos that held Dark Danny.

"I HOPE THAT YOU ALL DIDN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE?" Bill ask.

"Clockwork's didn't know what hit him," Yang said as he opens the thermos freeing Dark Danny.

"Ah free at last," Dark Danny said before he stop seeing Bill and Him. "Oh it's you two."

"YUP AND WE'RE GETTING A GANG TOGETHER TO GO AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE HEROES FOR GOOD. YOU WANT IN?" Bill ask.

"What do you have in mind?" Dark Danny ask knowing that he’s been sealed away for a long time and seeing how Bill and Him are here it means the world he once knew has changed.

"Find more people like you and the others who want revenge and such. Then once everything is in place we strike," Him explains.

"I'm in," Dark Danny said smiling.

“GREAT WELCOME TO THE BAD END FRIENDS,” Bill said.

1 - While you can say that hazing will toughen up people who will be out in the field being shot at and them killing people. Hazing to join a group that doesn't do anything like that and are just for show like the military of Equestria. Is like hazing someone who wants to join the crossing guards of a school. And yes I'm comparing the Wonderbolts to crossing guards as that's all they actually do and never do anything against any of the villains.

2 - Only in fiction people will continue to help people who will never be grateful or pay them for the service.

3 - Seeing how the zombies can be killed by a plant spitting out a pea at their heads. A bullet to the brain outside of the Plants Vs Zombie world setting will work even better.

4 - With how much Sunset spent on fixing up Equestria. She is always looking for a way to make money.

5 - Baron Samedi (English: Baron Saturday) also written Baron Samdi, Bawon Samedi, or Bawon Sanmdi, is one of the loa of Haitian Vodou. Samedi is a loa of the dead, along with Baron's numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix, and Baron Kriminel. He is synchronized with Saint Martin de Porres.

6 - The Man in the Moon can only interfere physically on hallowed days (holidays) and even then only when beloved holiday figures he'd given his power to are being killed or having the magic he'd given them stolen.

7 - I'm going with drinkable plasmids being safer then the type you used a needle for.

8 - To be clear, the villains are employing the same strategy as Captain Cutter did against Atriox in Halo Wars 2. Make their flagship attack the ark to make the sentinel defense system destroy it.
