Abader smiled as he took a good look around Gravity Falls. With so much happening in the town, the people living there had gotten use to many odd things. Felix had been busy in fixing all the damage the dinosaurs had caused to the town making it look good as new. Even with all what has happen in the past month or so, people continue to come to live in Gravity Falls thanks to all the jobs being found in the surrounding area around the valley.

Speaking of the dinosaurs, there are still wild ones running around in the forest. The ones still in the mine are being dug out as the search for survivors in the mine is still underway. The authorities are very interested in the lab that the fast food soldiers were using. The pig farm is being stripped of all the equipment in the lab under it, with ownership up in the air after the doctor who owned it got away. Then there are the two Cauldrons where the machine animals had been coming from. Seeing how they need an expert in why there are two cauldrons in the same location, Alloy was called in to oversee the operation.

Thanks to Sunset hiring earthbenders and even getting Korra to lend a hand and paying her, the sentient dinosaurs now all have homes near Ponyvile. Which is now under the leadership of pony Mr. Scotsdale who is handling being mayor quite well, with the mass arrest of so many ponies in Ponyvile who had destroyed the building project of Sunset and those who hid them like the former mayor. Ponyvile now was smaller with empty homes, and with robot police now patrolling the streets the ponies couldn't do anything about all the changes being done. As for the mammoths they have moved into the Ice Kingdom ruled by Gunter and his wife Turtle Princess. Where they went back to what they use to do, being scientists who study the world around them.

As for Anne and the frogs, seeing how they have no homes to go back to and they their town was a farming town. Sunset offer them new homes and farmlands she had taken from ponies who she sized their holdings after arresting them. She's giving them the farms and the farming equipment for Intensive agriculture. Where the ponies the farms use to belong to either couldn't or wouldn't change how they farm. So the farms are theirs after they first go to school to learn how to farm on a large scale. And show they can farm on a large scale. Anne was still with the Planters as she searches for her family.

There is also the supervillain Crow who has setup shop in the Fire Kingdom. The Fire Kingdom thanks to being underground with lava, became a industrial powerhouse in the region. The lava flows are mined for the valuable minerals, and with it being a natural forge many smelters and metalwork's are found in the Fire Kingdom. As well as being a Geo-thermal power plant that not only helps to power the entire state but also the surrounding states as well. Crow using his engineering skills quickly setup shop in creating a factory to produce war machines, which he sells to the government.

Crow and Becky learning how this world works and when Crow tried to kidnapped Sunset, he was quickly dog piled by her sisters. Then he tried to kidnap the other princesses, which the princesses around the Candy Kingdom just treated it like how the old Ice King use to do that to them. And Fin and Jake enjoyed fighting him. Of course trying to kidnap Fire Princess just resulted in her throwing fire at him.

Then Crow tried to kidnap the pony princesses, which resulted in him getting ahold of princess Celestia. He tried to kidnap Luna but Sunset and her family kept him from doing so, and then there's Candance but all she did was treat him as a babysitter for prince Buzz Heart the son of Shining Armor and Crysalis. So Crow just went for the sun princess.

Crow's new base -

"What you mean you don't want her back?" Crow ask having prepared his base for a assault by the heroes to get Celestia back and has Sunset on videoscreen to give her his demands.

"She doesn't do anything around here in the first place," Sunset said who is doing paperwork.

"So you're more then happy to let her stay in the cage?" Crow ask pointing to Celestia in one of Ice King's old princess cages.

"She can free herself," Sunset said.

"Wow you and her have a really bad mother and daughter relationship," Crow said.

"You're thinking of my human parents who I care about, my pony ones still on the fence but for Celestia. I can't bring myself to care for her as she couldn't be bothered to care for me when it would had matter," Sunset said.

Causing Celestia who is listening in to hang her head in shame.

"Sunset have you seen Unico?" Luna ask bursting into the room. Ever since Unico has been living in the castle, Luna has all but adopted the little unicorn.

"Oh the baby unicorn? He's over here," Crow said.

"What?" both Sunset and Luna ask.

"He got on my ship after I kidnapped Celestia," Crow said.

"Where is he?" Luna ask.

"Stuck him in the daycare," Crow said. He brought up a screen showing Unico playing in the daycare with the other children. He's playing with a keyboard trying to make up a song.

"I'm going over there and pick him up," Luna said leaving the room.

"So you're not going to come rushing over to save Celestia?" Crow ask.

"Using her as bait?" Sunset ask.

"Yeah, I tried to power my doom cannon and she doesn't work," Crow said.

"On the subject matter the only reason why a swat team isn’t breaking into the room right now is because of the princesses around the Candy Kingdom already use to being kidnap. And that I simply don’t care about you taking Celestia,” Sunset said.

“Tell me about it,” Crow said wanting to be a villain like in his world but he has to play by the rules of this world or he will be facing being imprison or facing a bunch of law enforcement. "Most of my kidnappings is more for the show Discord put together with Fin and Jake coming to save the day."

"You're getting paid to get your butt kick," Sunset pointed out.

"True," Crow said.

"How's the project going?" Sunset ask as the real reason why Crow is allowed to run around free besides being a villain who follows rules of engagement. Is because of his device he created to open portals to other worlds, which he was using to get back to his. His attempts while underground in the sap mine and the void leaking out, caused portals to open up now and then.

His base is more of a research center in studying and perfecting the portal technology. Also thanks to Becky made some deals in making weapons and equipment either for companies that sub contract them to make their brand or selling right to the government. Which is mostly making ammo, rockets, bombs, and missiles.

"That professor Membrane is studying it and we're comparing notes," Crow said.

"Good, being able to open portals will come in handy later. It cost lots of resources to travel around in the universe and having a portal even if its limited will cut travel time down. As long as it can be done safely," Sunset said.

"Portals are something that villains in my world have been trying to master with only those who have the power in the first place able to have control and no accidents. Like that that movie with the fly thing," Crow said.

"Which is why I want it to be safe and like how Kronika can open portals anywhere she wants," Sunset said.

"And don't forget when," Crow said.

"Please using time travel like that will just cause nothing but trouble with the only way to stop out of control time travel is by going way back in the past and stop people from advancing in the first place like in Rick and Morty," Sunset said.

"Oh you saw that episode with the snakes?" Crow ask.

"Like it," Sunset said.

"Got to admit you're like princess Tephra," Crow said.

"Who?" Sunset ask.

"She's a villain princess," Becky said appearing on screen. "She's an ogre princess of the Lava Kingdom and rules it with an iron fist. Like how you're ruling over the ponies."

"Only with the older ones. I'm putting all the work in the kids so that they unlike their parents won't be hard set in their ways and learn how to deal with things that they can't control. Celestia went and baby the adult ponies so much that now in a world they can't control and have no magic. They can't deal with anything and are screaming their heads off, with only a few able to deal with it," Sunset said. "Which is why I'm putting all of my energy in the young ones and if the adults don't like it, it's not like they're the only subjects I'm ruling over. My approval ratings with all the non ponies living under my rule is very good. Besides the only reason why there is even a kingdom in the first place is because of the deal I made with the government in the first place. And I find it very unlikely either Luna or Candance would be able to handle all the paperwork I'm doing and deals making just to keep it going."

"What about her?" Crow ask pointing to Celestia.

"She hasn't done anything of worth since the merge happen. And even before that she left all the most dangerous tasks to Twilight and the others. Then there are the arm forces which are a complete joke," Sunset said.

"We saw the video of the so fake dragon eating up the ponies while all the soldiers were hiding behind things, even one hiding behind a puppy. I can't believe they fell for that," Becky said.

"Equestria would be the kingdom that villains starting out would go to first to begin. And I'm talking about the kids of villains," Crow said.

"Old Equestia is more of a level 1 starting off point," Sunset agreed.

"But anyways you're more of the villain type," Crow said.

"Of course I am," Sunset said shocking Celestia who is listening in. "I'm the token evil teammate. Who operates entirely within the law, that allows me to strip away the rights that the ponies use to have that allowed them to just go around taking any land they wanted even if another race was there before. Not to mention having more rights then other races. So to the ponies the adult ones anyways I'm the villain."

"So why are they not revolting? Or want Celestia back in power?" Crow ask.

"As bad as I am to them, Celestia abandoning me is far worse of a taboo. And that she had all the chances of making things right and she never did it when it would had matter. And now that she lost everything is when she's trying to make a bond with me and be the mother I needed. Which is now a moot point since I have a family already who even learning I'm not their Sunset still accepted me into their family, and my pony family there are still my pony sisters. Celestia has proven that she can't handle anything in this new world as she stayed in power for 3 months after the merge and everything was falling apart. Which only stop after I took command," Sunset said.

"It wasn't that bad," Celestia said.

"Most of Equestria was in flames, the farmlands were dying the other races were on the brink of lynching the ponies, and Equestria was about to be invaded by the US army. I fix it all after taking the throne in less then an hour with a cake," Sunset said.

"How?" Becky ask as she and Crow tried to figure out how that happen.

"Dethrone Celestia, with both Luna and Candance backing my claim as her daughter. Talk with the president and cut a deal with her over some cake. Got Equestria to be a kingdom but apart of the country and follows the federal laws. Which the other kingdoms follow suit. Now I’m busy modernizing my kingdom and tearing down the old ways that don’t work in this world and selling off what I can to pay off the billions I owe to all the banks I took loans from. Which is where you and your portal machine comes in,” Sunset said.

“Going full on evil ruler and takeover?” Crow ask.

“Nope, make trade deals and offer a vacation destination for heroes and villains,” Sunset said.

“Only looking to make money?” Becky ask.

“You have any idea how much stress and pressure I’m under in keeping this kingdom together and cleaning up all the messes that Celestia left for me to deal with. The only one who I can relate to is Steven Universe who had to deal with all the problems that his mother Pink Diamond left for him. But he’s off world ruling along side with the other diamonds in the new Gem empire. But unlike him I only have Luna and Candance to help with the workload. Even then there are only things I can do as they're just out of their depth. And that's only running a backwards kingdom and dragging it into the modern age. It's way too much work already," Sunset said.

"Lots of stress?" Becky ask.

"I'm taking pills for high blood pressure," Sunset said.

"So no being the villain?" Crow ask.

"I'm already the villain. With me being the only one who can do this job, I'm too important to be gotten rid of," Sunset said.

"Then why are you learning to fight from all of those videogame characters?" Crow ask.

"Because unlike Celestia I'm not going to be helpless when I have to fight," Sunset said.

"Really?" Becky ask.

"She was powerful but when she tried to fight the Changeling queen she was quickly beaten. Which is why I'm training in many forms of combat, thanks to having so many different fighter game characters running around. I'm able to learn from fighters who can still use their reality breaking fighting styles and those who use magic while fighting," Sunset said. "Speaking of which what about my special project?"

"Hey it takes time with what you ask for," Crow said.

"How long will it take?" Sunset ask.

"About 2 to 4 weeks and Professor Membrane is still working on the design so it will work without it being too complex. Alot of villains tried to create weapons like what you're asking for but is way too complex for them to use," Crow said.

"From what I can gather from the plans you gave us you been planning on creating this weapon for some time," Becky said.

"I been trying to have my ultimate weapon built since learning about Bill and Slenderman. I tried talking with a Shigure Kosaka (Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple) in Japan who only uses a traditional forge and materials who said is superior to state-of-the-art techniques and materials. But it's only true when in the world she came from, she is still gifted but her weapons aren't the type that can cut through anything and never needs to be sharpen or oiled or anything else. All of her weapons that use to be able to cut through just about anything without so much of a dent or a notch on the blade, suddenly aren't unbreakable anymore. Professor Membrane is my best bet in creating a legendary weapon that's a blend of science and magic. That or put up with Excalibur," Sunset said. (1)

"Who?" both Crow and Becky ask.

"Excalibur is a living weapon that takes the form of a sword. Anyone who wields him is pretty much unstoppable and unlike other such weapons anyone can use him. The problem is that he is completely insufferable to be around which I'm guessing he does so only those who are like King Arthur will wield him," Sunset said. (2)

“Really now,” Crow said thinking about the weapon.

“Location is in Iceland in an underground hot spring. It’s also a tourist spot around the cave because of the hot springs and hotels,” Sunset said.

“You’re just telling me?” Crow ask.

“Yes,” Sunset said.

“Really that bad?” Becky ask.

“He wouldn’t be the first villain to try,” Sunset said.

“Why are you treating us like this?” Becky ask.

“From what that robot told Jenny. You Crow are like Bowser where you’re on the verge of conquering the world only to stop so you and your prisoners can go for a tour in a museum,” Sunset said.

“What? We villains can be perfectly civil,” Crow said.

“And going go-karting and playing games with the princess you normally kidnap. Also Bowser wants to know if you’re interested in the next Wacky Race?” Sunset ask.

“I’ll be there,” Crow said.

“Sunset you’re being too friendly with these villains who haven't reformed,” Celesita said.

“You said the same thing about Discord,” Sunset said. “Besides I’m doing what you always told me to do. Make friends just not the type you like. And yes they're villains but that's not that bad.”

Ponyvile -

At the Apple farm Applebloom and Double D is brokering a billion dollar deal with he Griffins and Dwarf conglomerate. They’re testing the first non-human plasmid trail runs. The test run would use water down doses that would take several months to finish, to avoid anyone transforming into a splicer. There already are cases of splicers appearing from those who took too much plasmid at once.

Also learning that the sap they been mining came from a version of the tree of life. They're working with many gods of nature and plants to bring the tree back to life. They would be able to harvest all the sap they want as long as they keep the tree healthy. So far it's slow going in bringing the tree back to life. It turns out the tree is the oldest tree of life there is, coming from a dinosaur god of all things. Even with the dinosaur gods going with the intelligent dinosaur race that prayed to them, the tree of life they created still lived on. Till the humans of the cult that discovered the tree killed it in the hopes of becoming immortal, which just poisoned them instead.

Applebloom is also treating Applejack better since their talk and Applejack finally admitting to herself what she failed to do. Twilight is also putting Applejack and the rest of the five in a rigorous exercise and combat regime. They all need to get back into shape. While trying to repair their relationship. Twilight has also been helping to keep the wild dinosaurs still being hunted down out of Ponyvile.

Sunset has made a deal with Jurassic Park, where the park where the dinosaurs are going to be kept be apart of the Jurassic Park company. So that the equipment and workers who know how to care for dinosaurs could be sent over. The island where the main park is located was in danger of being destroyed by the volcano waking up. Till Pele the volcano moved the hot spot so that a new island was formed nearby. Which made a grand sight as guest could watch as an island grew out of the sea, several miles away.

Sunset also has been buying up assets and stocks after the fallout in the financial world after so many big-shots and corporations got canned or arrested in the 'Fake A.I. Scandal'. The fallout and backlash of the fake A.I. attacks reached global levels as many countries are now trying to figure out how many A.I. attackers are real and not fake so that some companies could make money or ruin rivals.

Jenny had briefly been called to Paris to talk to Henri Crosteau and agency director Charles Goodwin. She wouldn't say what the meeting was about. But Jenny did bring the wonderful news that after so many screw ups and her father being kicked from office for gross incompetence and abuse of power. Chloe was kicked out of the Miraculous hero group and was on probation until she cleaned up her act. Seeing how Hawkmoth has become a good guy in helping to fight the Nazis in France there is hope for her.

Elsewhere in Gravity Falls -

Today was the day the anti-Slenderman barrier that he used to keep him out of Ooo was fully operational. Oya insisted it was overkill as she clearly sensed that they had badly wounded Slenderman and it would take him many months to reconstitute himself properly. As no matter what there is no way for him to be back at full power, not after the beat down and blowing himself up to escape so soon.

Abadeer frowned at this... ordinarily he trusted Oya's intuition... buuuut...

"Your sure that Slenderman was REALLY that badly injured? No tricks? No illusions? No Deceit?" Abadeer asked, again.

"Abadeer, for the 100th time, YES! Now it is 3:00 AM here, but it'll be 'my stick where the sun don't shine 'o' clock' if you call me in the middle of the night to ask me that again!" screamed Monkey King over the phone...

Abadeer hastily closed the phone. Yes, the other gods- even THOR -felt he was being hasty erecting the barrier so quickly. Doing it so soon would mean most of the other gods would be unable to enter Gravity Falls for the next couple weeks until it properly calibrated to exclude ONLY Slenderman. And advised him to just delay the barriers activation and stretch his calibrations out over the next several months. Otherwise the only thing that would allow them to get in is by sheer brute force, causing tons of damage to the surrounding area doing so. Or getting Excalibur and using him to bring it down, which no one is willing to do.

And... yes... they were all good points... but... Abadeer just shook his head. No, he trusted his friends... he... he was just being paranoid... he... was just being an overprotective father toward Marceline... Yeah, that's it! That was totally why he was doing this!

He quickly rationalized this as he started up the barrier, quickly it's energy began to encase the entire town and the surrounding area... almost... the gaps were closing... won't be long now-

Abadeer buckled as a golf ball whacked him on the back of the head and ricocheted into the increasingly shrinking hole in the barrier.

Abadeer instinctively began to turn to see who hit him, but pauses as he gets a feeling of 'DeJa Vu'. He panicky turns to look back toward the ball, just in time to see it ricochet further into the town... in a VERY unnatural way...

"HA! I WAS RIGHT! NICE TRY SLENDY! BUT I'M NOT FALLING FOR THE SAME OLD TRICK YOU PULLED ON ME IN BACKWARDIA! AND THIS TIME THE KEEBLER DWARVES WON'T BE THERE TO SAVE YOU!" shouts Abadeer as he chases after the golf ball just as the final hole in the barrier sealed up...

"Good thing I didn't pull the same trick twice then." said Slenderman from OUTSIDE the barrier as he threw away the golf club.

He turns to the readers. "Well hello there... it's been a long, crazy ride hasn't it? And here we are! 'Dreamscapers'! The penultimate chapter of this season!"

He pulls out some tarot cards.

He pulls out a card that looks like Dipper dressed as pheasant boy, dreaming of being a knight.

"The 'Rookie' has found the makings of a home, a life, even a Lady?... something to TRULY love and protect... and all the more devastating to lose...

He pulls out a card that seems to have Star ripping off mourner clothes from her body, and walking unashamed, determined and naked from a broken tombstone.

"The 'Atoner' seems to making great progress coming to terms with her mistakes... just in time to make new ones..."

Pulls out a card showing Killbane wearing a horned crown, leading an army to slaughter his enemies.

"Ah, The 'Tyrant' seems ready to put his mark on history...

He pulls out a card showing the dalmatian siblings Dolly and Dylan looking very confused as seemingly the scene around them was collapsing...

"Ah, you can't help but fell sorry for the 'Victims'. All they wanted was to have fun and love their family in peace, not their fault they've been thrown into the middle of events beyond their understanding...

He pulls out a card showing Grindelwald thrusting his fist toward the moon in front of a cheering crowd.

"Ah, sweet 'Visionary'. You work so hard to make your dreams a reality... but not all dreams are good, aren't they?

He pulls out a card that shows Raz chained to a slab, desperately trying to break free.

"Ah, the 'Determinator'. Forget prophecy and old men with beards, he shall be a hero whether the world wants it or not! Just be careful what you wish for my boy! You might just get it..."

He pulls out a card with a smirking Bill Cipher as he shakes the hand of a mortal.

"Ah, and who could forget the 'Devil'? Who-

"Oy! No spoilers!" shouts Bill from the card.

Slenderman sighed, "Fine whatever."

He pulls out another that looks like Grunkle Stan looking somberly upon a pair of glasses in his hand.

"The 'Regretter', so busy trying to fix the problems of the past... yet blind to the issues of the present."

He next draws a card showing a miserable Mable in 'sweaterland', rocking back and forth in the dark.

Slenderman looks at this with disgust, "Ah, The 'Pariah'. In constant denial of her ever changing world and desperate to return the home where she was happy and safe." He rips the card in two. "A home I'm happy to say, no longer exists... I made sure of that..."

He pulls out a card of a strange mask...

Finally, he pulls out a card showing Gideon dressed as a jester angrily shouting at the sky.

"Ah, a sad thing indeed when yesterdays villain becomes today's 'Fool'... even sadder when said fool is in denial of the change of said prospects..."

He tosses away the deck, "But enough games. The stage is set, the players are in place, and the final curtain for act 1 is set to fall..."

One of the cards from the deck fluttered down into his hand. Looking at the card he sees it's a figure with their back turn wearing a raggedy hood cloak.

"The 'Outcast' thrown out of civilization and left to survive on the waste of others. Wanting to undo the past," Slenderman said before tossing it away.

He stands their silently for a moment...

"Well, what are you waiting for? Start the theme music already!"

Theme Song -

Mystery Shack -

Things are slow at the shack thanks to what happen at the sap mine, and that the area has been closed down. There are still wild dinosaurs running around in the forest. Hunters and robots are busy hunting them down, which is why the road to the shack and the surrounding area is closed down. The authorities didn't want people anywhere near the forest till all the dinosaurs have been hunted down and relocated to the new dinosaur wildlife park.

So while the shack was closed Stan took the time to fix things up and setup new exhibits. Eda was also setting up her home to be like the shack seeing how much money Stan is making. The first floor of her house is now a magic museum, displaying magical items that Stan manage to get his hands on and have no place to put them.

Eda was looking over a witch's caldron that Stan brought. From what Stan learn from the seller, the ancient caldron use to be owned by a family of witches that made a living by making potions. The caldron is cast from special metals to withstand the caustic ingredients used for the concoctions. Which Eda can tell that much of the magic used in the potion making came from the pot itself. Of course that was before the merge and the pot is now just an ancient pot. But Eda did point out that back in the Boiling Isles the pot would fetch some big bucks.

“Well Can you use it?” Stan ask.

“Sure I can use it to brew some potions and spell casting,” Eda said looking over the pot. "Or I can just pour that bottomless bottle of cough syrup and sell it as a magical cough syrup."

"Good thinking and we can use some cheap jars or bottles," Stan said.

Dipper was doing an inventory check on all the merchandise, seeing how he has lots of free time to himself. Both Twilight and Pacifica haven't been coming to the shack lately. Twilight was spending more time with Alchor and teaching him how to use his powers with the help of Luna. Who being a alicorn help him to learn how his body works, even with his powers being reversed she still help him figure it out on his own. As for Pacifica she's been visiting Tyrone in Tartarus every chance she gets. Dipper is a little bummed about that, but he just spends more time with Wendy.

"Cool look at this," Luz said as she held up a strange gauntlet that had a blue round gem on the part that rested on the back of the hand.

"Got that from overseas. It's called the Scepter. The seller has no idea what it does," Stan said.

"I looked it over and it would had been able to make copies of objects if it wasn't powerless in this world," Eda said and looks at Stan. "And no I can't repower it."

"Nuts," Stan said.

"Hey guys," Twilight said entering the shack.

"Hi Twilight," Wendy said restocking the drinks in the fridge.

"There's a bat!" Soos shouted as he runs out of the kitchen.

"A bat? Dipper go and scare it away," Stan said.

"Grunkle Stan why don't you ever have Mabel do any of the chores? Why is it always me?" Dipper ask.

"Because I said so!" Stan said.

"Look, Grunkle Stan... I know that you're only pushing all this work on me to 'toughen me up' and make sure when the 'world hits, I hit back'. I don't need it after what I been through," Dipper said.

Stan turns around angry. "SOOS! You blabber mouth! I'm cutting your pay!"

"No! Soos didn't squeal!" Dipper said and quickly explains how he saw it in one of his 'flashforwards', which Soos, Eda and Luz listen in too.

"I heard of this happening but only when there's time magic being used," Eda spoke up.

And before Stan could give a respond of his own. "Look, I appreciate the sentiment behind what you're doing. And I'd be lying if it hasn't helped me get in shape."

"Thank you for his six pack by the way," Wendy says suddenly, then gives Dipper a wink.

Dipper blushes but coughs it away. "Right, anyway. As good as that is, that doesn't excuse you letting Mabel off easily and making me do all the work! Why doesn't Mabel get any work?"

"What, come on! She tough enough..." Stan said.

"We're not talking about toughness!" Twilight said.

"We mean like discipline, responsibility..." Wendy said.

Stan shrugs dismissively. "Eh, never heard of them."

"Me either," Eda adds.

"Ahmen!" Mabel said who is busy watching T.V. on her belly on the floor. Thanks to Eda casting healing magic on her and taking her to the Boiling Isles to be treated by her sister Lilith. Mabel made a full recovery from the beating she took from the mob that attack her.

"Dang it Stan! Do I need to remind you that things with Mabel are getting worse and worse?" Dipper ask.

Dipper pointed out how after the dinosaur rampage, people had gotten it into their heads that it's all been Mabel's fault... again. Mabel literally couldn't step a foot outside now without getting chased or pelted with rotten fruit. She couldn't even go into the gift shop or attractions anymore. A guy whose granny got trampled to death in the rampage tried to strangle her at the register.

"Look at her teeth," Wendy said showing the teeth that were knock out of Mabel's mouth.

"Hey why do you have my old teeth?" Mabel ask. She had new teeth thanks to Eda using magic to grow new teeth for her.

"No real reason," Wendy said pocketing the teeth.

"Look, what do you want from me!? I made Mable go to that Stump guys psycho-whatsit's sessions!" Stan groans and puts his head in his hands. Which Mabel visibly tenses up. "What more..."

Twilight interrupts. "No she didn't! She never appeared to ONE session!"

Mabel starts to try and slink away out of the room unnoticed.

"What? No she told me that you she did," Stan said confused.

Edda raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, did you ever actually make sure? Or did you just take her word for it?"

Mabel is close to the doorway.

Stan sees her trying to leave and spoke up causing her to freeze.

"Mabel! Sweetie... you did go, didn't you? You... promised me you would!" Stand said.

Which caused Mabel to look nervous.

Mabel chuckles nervously. "Well... look, I WAS totally planning to go! ...eventually. But I was waiting for a time when it didn't conflict with my schedule."

"Oh, Mable, Mable..." Stan groans, rubs his temple and trails off in disbelief.

"Oh, for the love of- What schedule!?" Wendy ask annoyed.

"I only seen you watching tv or playing with the animals," Luz said.

"As if you had to ask," Twilight gave out a snort and holds up a T.V. schedule.

Wendy glares at Mabel seeing why she never went. "Ducktective?"

Twilight nods.

"What?" Dipper ask starting to lose his temper.

"You gave Mabel a test, so I gave my own. I deliberately scheduled all the sessions with Stump so they overlaped with the time of all new Ducktective episodes,"

"What?!" Mabel ask glaring at Twilight. Which Twilight glares back.

"You don't get to be mad here Mabel! Dipper asked ONE thing of you to rebuild your relationship, and you couldn't be bothered when it interrupted your show!" Twilight turns to Dipper. "I'm sorry Dipper, I know I should've asked your permission for this."

"You know what? THANK YOU Twilight," Dipper said then glares at Mabel. "Nice to know for certain where the importance of our relationship and my concerns stand with you..."

Mabel looks hurt. "Dipper...."

But Dipper wasn't having it.

"That's it! That's the last straw! I refuse to any more chores until the workload is equally divided among me and Mabel! I'm not asking for much, just an equal 50/50 split! I REALLY don't think that's being too unreasonable!" Dipper ask.

"I'll give you too unreasonable!" Stan said.

Dipper and Stan do their intense staring contest from how Dipper remembers. Except this time it ends with Dipper victorious after he lets out a LOUD predatory snarl. Causing Stan to lose this time.

Stan is so startled he falls out of his chair. "Sweet bass and crackers! Kid, what was that!?"

"Little something Wendy's mom taught me..." Dipper smirks.

'HE's becoming quite the animal' Wendy thinks to herself smirking... her mind starts to.... 'wander'... and her face starts to fluster as she looks toward Dipper....

She snaps out of it when Stan regains his composure and starts to yell again.

"Look kid, while you’re living in MY house, you," Stan said but was cut off.

"I NOMINATE MY PLACE FOR DIPPER TO STAY INSTEAD!" both Wendy and Twilight shouted out.

“You do know my place has room and it’s right next door,” Eda points out. "Besides Wendy you have to talk to your parents first and for you Twilight you have to talk to your roommates first too. Also I can be the one who has people coming to my place to see Dipper."

Stan groans seeing he can't win as Eda is Dipper's aunt. "Alright, you win! Sweetie, go get ride of the bat..."

"Wha?" Mabel ask.

"Sweetie, PLEASE just do it! Do you WANT Dipper to leave the Shack? Cause, that's what I'd do if I was given a chance to live with a GIRL, never mind a girl who is a sex demon. And all those foxy ladies who are her aunts," Stan said causing Eda to glare at him.

"Foxy ladies?" Eda ask.

"Hehe he," Stan laugh then turns to Mabel. "Go and take care of the bat."

Mabel slumps, but resigned, she goes and does it. They hear her mumble as she heads toward the kitchen.

"Well.... can't be that hard, I mean Dipper does it all the time... so how bad can it- GAH! THEY HAVE TEETH! THEY COME IN SWARMS! HELP!"

The group reluctantly goes to help Mabel, while Edda and Stan stay in the room.

Edda gives Stan a weird look. "Why didn't you make sure she was going to those sessions? I mean, her parents did order her to do it...."

Stan suddenly starts to sweat.... "Uh.... well..."

Edda quirks an eyebrow suspiciously. "Wait, they DID order her to do that... right?"

"Well, I'm pretty sure it's what they WOULD'VE wanted..." Stan groaned.

"Oh Stan," Edda said face-palms and groans.

Stan quickly looks around to make sure no one's listening and whispers to her. "Look, I've been trying for weeks to get to a hold of them! But something happened and now all the phone lines are snarled with 911 calls! But you can't tell anyone! Sunset and a dozen of the other local rulers have been breathing down my neck! The only thing keeping them from doing anything drastic with Mabel is me lying that I'm getting consent from her parents! My brother has been looking for them as well and hasn't been able to get a hold of them either."

"Look, I won't tell anyone. But Stan, seriously. This is getting out of hand," Eda said. "I was like Mabel but from what I can see she unlike me has no concept of long term consequences of her actions. And at this rate she'll be driving Dipper away wanting nothing to do with her and that's not even going what everyone else will treat her. I took her and Dipper to the Boiling Isles and somehow in one day Dipper is hailed as a hero while Mabel ended up in the public square being pelted by rotten fruit. Not to mention she’s completely useless in helping out. She just made things worse and her being lock in stocks and being pelted with rotten fruit was the best deal I could make with my sister Lilith to keep Mabel from being thrown into the pain pit after what she did."

"Tell me something I don't know! I just... I don't want to lose my family again...," Stan slumps in defeat.

Edda hugs him, she wished she could help him more. But she'd been mostly focused on finding Luz's parents to past couple weeks.... and it was looking more and more hopeless...

“Now I know what mom went through with me,” Eda said.

“Really you were like Mabel,” Stan ask.

"Well unlike her I would had gone to see Stump. My sister for all that's between us is my family And I do care for her," Eda said.

Outside -

Laying flat on the ground a figure dress in Marine armor over a Marine wetsuit. Unlike the standard or polymer combat armor, this variant relies on a combination of hard and soft armor to provide protection. The torso assembly consists of a tactical vest from ballistic fiber covering the entire torso from the groin to the shoulders and neck, supplemented by tactical rigging combining hard ballistic armor with a powered survival system and a belt with four multipurpose pouches. Arms are protected by sleeves from the same ballistic fiber, combined with hard armor covering the shoulders, forearm and dorsal side of the hands. The hard armor is shaped to provide additional protection from the front when aiming and double as attachment points for additional carry pouches. The legs are protected in the same way, with the added benefit of thigh pouches and a pair of stabilizers on the shin. The helmet is derived from the standard combat armor variant, coming with a polarized visor, filtration mask and additional carry strap on the back of the head. Together, they combine to provide a heavy duty set of combat armor that covers almost the entire body in heavy armor, excepting necessary articulation points.

The figure is watching everything that's happening in the shack through the telescope of the cosmic cannon. The cosmic cannon has 3 different settings in what it fires, sonic, laser, and cryo beam. The figure aims the weapon's sight on Mabel, a finger tightens slightly on the trigger.

"No, you still have a part to play," the figure said getting up and walking into the forest.

!

Back in the shack -

After they rescue Mabel from the bats... they return to the tv room. Dipper demands once more why Stan seems to favor Mable...

"Well...," Stan looking uncomfortable and saved by Eda who interrupts him.

"Come on Stan, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's VERY common for most guys to be unable to discipline girls properly...," she turns to Wendy. "Why do you think he never called you out for slacking? Old Stan talks toughs, but when it comes to the ladies he falls apart in our hands faster then soggy bread...!"

Eda says that last bit with a mirthful chuckle. Which Stan, looks at her baffled... then looks grateful... then looks embarrassed at the full ramification of her implication...

"So it's double standards? Where no matter how bad Mabel acts it's ok for her because she's a girl?" Dipper ask.

"Sounds like how so many from different Japan worlds, where it's ok for girls to treat boys anyway they want but it's suddenly wrong when it's the other way around," Soos said.

"Remember when a bunch of them came here to try to get their powers back and maintained the mindset where it's ok for them to do it but wrong when anyone else does it," Wendy said.

"Oh man, they really were surprise when they were arrested," Soos said. (3)

"Also reminds me of how Lincoln's sisters got away with everything and if he did anything he would always be punish while his sisters didn't," Dipper adds.

"At least you only have to deal with one sister," Luz said having learn of the abuse Lincoln went through with his family. With only because their house falls in The City's side, and the laws of The City are just bad. Till It all came crashing down and The City is still being rebuild.

"Well Stan I'm not going to put up with double standards anymore. And you shouldn't be letting Mabel get away with things just because she's a girl. I seen how you let Eda walk all over you as well. Aren't you tried of that?" Dipper ask.

"Dipper I get away with walking all over Stan because one, I'm his wife. And secondary when he starts complaining about what I'm doing like taking his customers away from the shack. I just make it up to him," Eda said.

"How the only thing Stan likes is money," Mabel said.

"Sex," Eda said offhandedly.

"EEEWWWW," the kids all said with the older ones looking disgusted.

"Why did you say something that I can't ever unhear?" Twilight ask revolted.

"Let's watch tv to get rid of that from our heads," Soos said with everyone agreeing.

Stan silently thanks Eda for covering for him while everyone focuses back on the T.V...

"Don't thank me, that may not be the main issue here... but it IS an issue with you... whether you want to admit it or not...,"
Eda whispers back and gives a playful wink.

Stan groans... but goes back to watching the TV...

Gideon's commercial shows up. Ever since his court hearing where he got off be claiming to being controlled by a mind demon. Gideon name and popularity in Gravity Falls fell, with fewer and fewer people showing up at his shows. Mostly out of towners who stop by to see what’s going on. All of his hidden cameras are still operational but people are wearing them less and less with some even throwing them away. Gideon’s commercial ends showing the shack as a new location for the tent show.

"Should we be worried about that?" Dipper ask both confused and concerned.

"I don't think so...," Stan shrugs and looks like he's struggling to remember something. "Eh, whatever. The deed to the Shack is in my safe and only I know the combination."

Suddenly they heard something in the back room. Walking over where the noise coming from, Stan slam open the door. Inside they found Gideon who is fiddling with the safe, then he sees the gang come in.

"Well, Mr. Pines! Looks like our game of Cat and mouse continues. But who is the cat and who is the mouse? That is the question!" Gideon said.

Stan just looks at him for a moment... "I'm sorry...who are you?"

Gideon looks at him in stunned disbelief.

"Wha- Who am- I'm GIDEON GLEEFUL!" he babbles enraged.

Everyone just kept looking at him...

"Who?" Twilight ask.

"I'm your nemesis?" he probes annoyed.

"Look, tell Rico it wasn't anything personal. I'll pay him back next month!" Stan said groaning.

"What? No! I'm your arch competitor!" Gideon said.

"Granny Sweetkin's.... grandson?" Stan ask.

"NO! I own the tent of Telepathy!" Gideon said.

"Never heard of it," Mabel says flatly.

Gideon looks baffled. "Never... You've been there! You've seen one of my shows! I claimed you as my love! We went on dates! It ended poorly!"

“...could you be more specific? I've had a LOT of failed romances this summer...,” Mabel looks down depressed.

“It reached sitcom levels,” Wendy said.

“...of course...technically most of them just wanted to lure me into a trap to kill me...,” she trails off with a mumble.

“Which she always falls for, even if it happen just hours ago,” Twilight said making Mabel feel worse.

Gideon getting frantic. “I tried to cut out your brothers tongue? I lured him to my warehouse? I used my lucky bolo tie to levitate him?“

“Yeah... that doesn't narrow it down at all... you basically just described most of my recent Tuesdays...,” Mabel said with a look of forlorn. “...wow... how is this my life now?“

“I... want to say...,” Dipper said thinking about it and points to Gideon. “Zombie Karl Marx?“

Gideon looks at him in disbelief. "Zombie... I just told you my name was Gideon! And in what way do I look like a zombie?"

Dipper just shrugged. "Hey man, I'm just spitballing stuff out there. I'm literally drawing a blank, I've had SO many people try to kill me all summer... Fright Knight? Wait no that's Danny's foe."

Mable looks at her brother in horrified bafflement. "HOW can you speak so calmly about getting killed multiple times!?"

Dipper just shrugs...

"For crying out loud. I literally tried to steal your chair at the pool barely a month ago!" Gideon snarls at Stan.

"That was you?... I thought that was Blubs...," Stan said confused.

"IT WAS ME!" Gideon clearly getting exasperated.

"Look, whatever kid. Unless your here to buy something, I'll have to ask you to leave...," Stan said.

"HA! I'll buy something alright, the deed to your shack!" Gideon said.

"Why?" Wendy ask.

Gideon slaps his face. "Oh for the love of- Hello? I'm trying to steal your shack!"

Stan slaps his forehead. "Oh, come on! I told the IRS I was good for it!"

Gideon starts to pulls out his hair. "I'M NOT THE IRS!"

"Right... your... I'm sorry, remind me?" Stan ask.

Gideon throws a temper tantrum, throwing himself to the ground. Pounding his fists over and over while screaming.

"GIDEON! GIDEON! GIDEON!" he shouts repeatedly over and over until his face is blue.

Stan just shrugs and has the shack's Mr. Handy carry him outside.

"...wait, I think he was in that commercial we saw... he... Wait, what was his name again?" Twilight ask pondering.

Everyone just shrugs.

"Whoever he was, he wasn't that bright. I mean, what idiot broadcasts his planning to steal your HOME on a commercial of all things?" Wendy ask.

"Whoever that idiot was, he can't be that important if we don't remember him. Besides, morons like him stealing my shack are a dime a dozen. It's in my state of the art safe AND the combination is in the safest spot imaginable: My mind!" Stan said as he taps head for emphasis.

!

Outside -

Little does he know that right before Gideon is thrown into the mud outside, he hears that last bit. Shivering in rage, he glares at the shack. He couldn’t believe that he isn’t remember anymore, people just seem to forget about him.

“Your mind huh?" he walks into the woods as he begins to pull out his journal. "Your mind ain't as safe as you think, Stan Pines..."

“And neither are you,” a voice called out.

Gideon goes very pale as he sees the familiar towering forms of Jatt and Jutt.

“I've often heard it say that there comes a time in a persons life where he witnesses something SO idiotic, he can't help but stare speechless at the sheer absurdity of the stupidity... I never really understood that until now...,” Jatt glares at him indeed, he does seem at a lose for words to properly articulate the situation and the depths of his annoyance and irritation.

Jutt however, had no such issues apparently. "You've really done it this time you moron. I'd call you as dumb as a brick wall, but at least a wall can be useful, let you put flyers on it to advertise your bake sale. You my boy, are a moronic, spoiled brat. With the STUPIDEST hair and suite I've ever seen...“

Jatt finally composes himself enough to add his own jab in. "I'm flabbergasted, I TRULY am. Shirly you knew, the instant that you made that commercial, broadcasting a PLAN that was in direct in violation of Killbane's orders throughout the town and the surrounding areas, that you were going to be caught!“

This seemingly non-stop barrage of insults and the fear of the consequences at Killbanes hands, caused Gideon to break down a bit...

“NO! This isn't fair! I deliberately waited until AFTER it was announced Killbane would be leaving town for a few weeks!“ Gideon said panicky.

They looked at him in dumbfounded disbelief.

“Okay, first of all. Double-check your info before you use it for anything! That announcement is several days old! Killbane had to cancel his trip! It was announced yesterday! The anti-slenderman barrier, although not IMPOSSIBLE for a mortal to get through before it's calibrated properly, it's still difficult enough to cause problems! Not to mention it would've drawn too much attention to him and our activities! Which as we've REPEATEDLY tried to explain to that thick skull of yours, is the OPPOSITE of what we need right now!“ Jutt said.

Gideon tries to speak up, but the brothers weren't finished...

“And even if he HAD left, you still would've been caught!“ Jatt said.

“What? By who!?” Gideon said.

“Uh... by us? The people that were assigned to you and given strict orders to stop you from pulling crap like this!?“ Jutt gives him a blank look.

Gideon looks at him like he just spoke a foreign language.

“But... Killbane would be gone...,” he says, struggling to comprehend.

“So what? What dose Killbane being here or not being here have to do with anything? The bulk of his organization is here! What, you think that because our boss leaves we just become a bunch of hapless mooks who are completely useless without him holding our hands!?“ Jatt said.

Gideon again, looks to be struggling to comprehend. “Well... yeah...?“

Both goons smack their heads and groan.

“You actually think that our organization wouldn’t have people who are competent at what they can do. The boss needs people who can delegate his various responsibilities and jobs too. All of those groups have long since fallen apart. It’s not like the world where that alien Zim came from, people that dumb are only good as expendable minions,” Jutt said.

Gideon is dumbstruck by this... he could NEVER trust the power of his operations or trust detail of his plans to anyone! He was king! Everyone else was ants! Sheep! He barely trusted his father to all the bureaucratic nonsense of his business and the house mortgage out of necessity! And only then because such trifling matters were beneath one such as him! To Gideon, this was only further proof Killbane was a fool and not worthy of his lofty perch!

Jatt continues on while Gideon deludes himself. "And you think all of the henchmen are just props or nameless drones? Jutt has a classical Asian book club he co-founded. And I like to volunteer to coach rugby and stamp collecting which can earn big money. I find it insulting that you Gideon would just label us as 'nameless henchmen' who do nothing else. We have lives outside of this line of work."

"As enlightening as this conversation is boys...I think I'll take it from here," a new voice said.

Now it was the turn of Jatt and Jutt to go pale, they cautiously turned around... and came face to face with the walking apocalypse himself...

"Sir! I swear we were watching him, honest! But this just completely blindsided us!" Jutt panicky.

"Yeah, I mean. We KNEW he was stupid, but it never occurred to us he'd be this big of a moron!" Jatt adds.

"HEY!" Gideon shouted.

"SHUT UP!" Jatt and Jutt both wheels back on him.

Killbane takes on a calm, reassuring voice. “Gentlemen, Gentlemen. You've nothing to fear... you've done admirably at your job. I can easily see how one steaming hot plate of idiocy of an epic scale.”

"Hey!" shouted Gideon again but Killbane ignore him and continues.

“Could be such a curve ball to you. But not to worry, such idiocy actually works for us, believe it or not. My boys asked around, NO ONE is taking the commercial seriously. Most already see it as a joke- Gideon fumes at this brushoff - a rumor my P.R. boys are happily encouraging. So no harm, no fowl.” he glares at Gideon. “Well... for you two anyway.“

Contrary to what they'd just told Gideon, Jatt and Jutt were aware they were no Einsteins. Still, they were smart enough to immediately get out of the space between their Boss and Gideon.

Gideon immediately stepped back fearful, as Killbane glared down at him.

“Gideon, Gideon, Gideon... I prop your business back up from the brink of bankruptcy, I give you a place among my Luchadore brothers, I spring you from jail... and all I asked in return was- among other things -to give up this obsession with the Pines and leave them alone. A very lenient price all things considered... and yet... here you are... disobeying that ONE rule...,” he tsked.

Killbane makes a dramatic show of looking baffled and hapless.

"I must admit, your actions rather confuse me... is there... something I'm not seeing here?... something I just don't get? ...something your not telling me?" he asks that last bit with a inquisitive yet dangerous edge to it.

Gideon FINALLY managed to compose himself enough to begin to talk his way out of this, "My good sir! I was merely showing initiative!"

"Initiative," parroted Killbane skeptically.

Gideon nods.

"Yes, not only would acquiring the shack provide our illustrious organization a new source of capital and prestige. But it would also eliminate Dipper Pines, the person who was credited more for the failure of your Summerween scheme then anyone else from the equation. For without a home to rest his head, he'd be forced to be sent back to Piedmont. Did I set my sights too high? Possibly, but I assure you. I have this organizations best interests at heart." says Gideon with his beast award-wining smile.

Killbane, looked thoughtful. "Huh, interesting..."

"Interesting how thoughtful my plan was?" probed Gideon.

"No, it's interesting because that little 'story' of yours doesn't match up with HIS." He says that last part as he points behind him, which is the Luchadore's que to drag forward a VERY familiar face.

"FATHER!?" screamed Gideon in shocked betrayal.

"Sorry sweetie! But it was either me or you!" his father implored sadly...

Gideon screamed and made to jump and claw his fathers eyes out... only to be grabbed by the scruff of his neck by Killbane. Causing Gideon to become aware how much shit he's in. Killbane lets him dangle as he looks him straight in the eye.

"Okay slugger, that's strike two. One more, and your OUT." this last word was emphasized by the sound of several luchadore's cocking their guns.

Gideon's mind raced, he feels the weight of his journal still in his shirt. Thankfully, although he'd told his father of his ambition to overthrow Killbane and his plans to take the Shack to do just that... he'd said NOTHING of WHY or HOW he'd planned to do this. He most certainly had said nothing about the journals...

Gideon knew he'd only have ONE chance to save his hide... but as his mind raced through his memory of his journal... he was coming up blank...

Killbane, oblivious or just not caring of Gideon's frantic thoughts... continued...

"Gideon... your little 'plots' to overthrew me have been as amusing as they were comical. Among your few other uses, I kept you around because you made me laugh... but this was one screw up too many... and I am no longer AMUSED. Unfortunately for you, we're heading to the endgame and we just don't have time for clowns like you. And much like Icarus flew too close to the sun," Killbane said.

"What are you doing?" Gideon blinked at the sight of a European wizard popping out of nowhere, and asking this of Killbane.

Killbane sighed annoyed as his prepared speech/interrogation was interrupted. "Relax, I'm taking care of it right now."

Grindelwald glared. "Killbane, I feel, I've been MORE then patient with your little 'guilty pleasures'. But we don't have time for this! Need I remind you we're on a serious time crunch? The barrier has provided us with a golden opportunity and we need to seize it! A job already made difficult by our inability to leave and get much needed supplies and manpower! So just kill the little moron, be done with it and get back to helping me solve a REAL problem."

Gideon bristles at the moron bit, but the being dismissed as a real issue almost had him foaming in rage... but such thoughts were replaced with fear as Killbane thoughtful tightened his hold on Gideon's throat...

"There's also the fact he thinks the Shack has something that can be used against me...," Killbane said.

"He also thought that it would be a good idea to tells everyone and their GRANDMA about his plans to steal the shack through a COMMERCIAL," Grindelwald interrupts and points out with a skeptical snark.

Killbane thoughtfully concedes to that with a nod,

"Hmmm... good point," he shrugs then turns to Gideon. "Sorry squirt, but unless your precious shack has a means to help us take down all the hero's in town at once, I think I'm just going to pop this off now..."

Gideon feels his windpipe beginning to pop, it is said that the gallows can focus a mans thoughts... and thus... Gideon came up with one... last... DESPERATE... idea...

"WAIT! IT DOES! IT DOES!" pleads Gideon as he gasps with more effort...

Killbane looks skeptical, but loosens his grip. "You got one minute... WOW me..."

!

Flashback -

Pacifica tugged at her breastcloth with a sad sigh...

Wendy sticks her head in and tells her she doesn't have to wear that, she threatened to rip her dad a new one if he didn't stop being weird and just ran the training NORMALLY. Well, relatively speaking.

"Good to hear...," Pacifica said giving a nod and tugs at the breastcloth mournfully again. "Honestly, I hadn't seen the point of this... I could probably ditch the breast cloth and everyone who saw me would probably think I was a boy."

To her shock, she found herself tackled and pinned by Dipper, "You listen to me Pacifica Northwest! If I'm not allowed to crap all over myself for my useless dick. YOU are most certainly not allowed to crap over yourself for your flat chest! You are Pacifica Northwest! The first good person in an otherwise shitty family! You’re going to change your family name for the better! You ARE changing your family name for the better! You are one of the most wonderful people I've ever meet! And breasts or no breasts, anyone who can't see how sexy you are is a blind moron! Understand!?"

Pacifica blushed... whether because of his dominating attitude, or their position and the feeling of his 'excitement' through his loincloth she would NEVER specify... but she agreed.

End Flashback -

Pacifica smiles at the memory she was watching and brushed away a tear... ever since then, she'd felt so much more confident... she no longer cared about her chest size... and it was all thanks to Dipper...

A small noise behind her reminded her of where she was... Tyrone too was watching her memories. He'd insisted on being brought up to date on what had been happening in Gravity Falls since he'd... ‘left'... Thanks to their bond, their could share memories back and forth...

"I'm glad that Dipper made you feel better about yourself. It was a very stupid thing to be hung up over when you're still growing," Tyrone said.

"Yes it is when I'm still a young girl," Pacifica agreed with him.

"Do you really want to be with me or am I just a replacement for Dipper? Or is it out of obligation because of me saving you?" Tyrone ask suddenly.

"I can't say it's not true. But it's not fair to treat you like you're Dipper. You are you and he is him. I want to help you to become the person you use to be," Pacifica said.

"That is far from an easy road. What I did while in the Isles isn't something that can be forgiven," Tyrone said.

"No but you can still redeem yourself," Pacifica said.

Pacifica was in deep thought as she prepared herself for what came next. The other reason she came to see him today.

"There is another thing I came to tell you about. It's Mina the one who killed you, she's still alive," Pacifica said.

"What happen to her?" Tyrone ask.

"She and the girl that was with her became lab rats for the doctor that was running the lab under the pig farm," Pacifica said.

"Good," Tyrone said. Even if she's the reason why he wasn't just a paper clone that would had died once wet. She still killed him and transform him into the metal monster he was before. Who couldn't feel anything.

Pacifica is let out of Tyrone's cell to have a quick phone break. All of her belongings was left at the guard station where she had checked in to make sure she didn't had anything on her but her clothes. Once she was escorted by one of the robot guards to the station, she of course call Twilight. They'd both bonding more over the misadventures that came with adjusting to their new 'beau's'... as well as helping THEM adjust to LIFE.

After talking a little bit about how Twilight had convinced her old friends to attend Stumps sessions, go into a strenuous exercise and combat training program, as well as help them find new jobs. Twilight had helped Applejack adjust to her new more modernized jobs at the farm as well as further repair her relationship with Applebloom and Human Applejack.

She'd convinced Rarity to swallow her pride and begin to apprentice under her human counterpart to learn how to sew for humans... and to be okay with mass-producing her clothes. Also that custom clothes made to order is something that most people don't do anymore. People are use to walking past endless shops with infinite variety, then finding something you like and searching for the right size. And while there are people who go and are fitted with clothes that only fit them or someone with the same body type. Those people are few and far between, not to mention they usually only buy custom clothes for special events and not everyday wear. As doing that while impressive is just impractical to do. The only reason why Sunset is doing that with human Rarity is because of her wings and she needs clothes made with slits in the shirts or she'll be struck wearing nothing but backless clothes. (4)

Twilight was teaching Pinkie how to restrain herself, understand that not all people like fun the same way. Learn to butt out of peoples private business, respect a persons wishes if they say they don't want to be friends and overall just let things GO. And not make things worse by not reading the mood of the crowd.

Inspired by Twilight's progress and accomplishments, Rainbow Dash decided she wants to form a NEW group known as the Shadowbolt's. Even if it’s illusionary trap or not, Rainbow had always loved their uniforms more. She wanted them to replace the Wonderbolt's as Equestria's new aerial guard and be everything that the Wonderbolt's SHOULD have been. Putting the needs of the ponies before themselves AND actually being USEFUL in a fight.

Fluttershy had first tried to live with her parents... but the pegasus simply couldn't get it into their heads that the world was different now. The fact that unlike the other tribes; they could just fly away from their problems whenever they wanted and (mostly) ignore what's happening on the ground. Probably didn't help. Their attempts to continue manipulating the weather kept falling miserably and just annoyed people below. They also kept trying to rebuild their cloud cities... but although their passive abilities still allowed them to form cloud objects and lie on them... They no longer had magical properties, so would constantly fall apart whenever the wind or weather whipped into it too much. Thus many pegasus found themselves crashing into the ground when their 'bed' is blown apart. Or yelled at by people on the ground who'd been hit by their furniture or fecal matter that was no longer being 'magicked away' by the cloud plumbing.

There is the Ponyhead cloud Kingdom which still works like it did in Mewi. But the clouds aren't real clouds, they're actually floating plant like things. But the whole floating pony heads thing just scared the pegasus. Not to mention they would be under the rule of Princess Pony Head.

After nearly crashing to the ground while sleeping for the fifth time, and her parents refusing to move to the ground. Fluttershy was forced to move in with human Fluttershy. Human Fluttershy was currently taking her in as an assistant veterinarian at her pet shop but Fluttershy also spent her free time talking with Maud, wondering if there could be a 'non-magical' way to replicate what she did with Earth pony magic, but for Pegasus instead...

While Twilight goes on about that a bit more including some strange, 'contradictory' readings she'd been getting regarding Maud's methodology... Pacifica slyly touches on another topic...

"So... can't help but notice that Alchor STILL gives you your 'special dance' whenever he greets you... and word in the herd is that you still haven't told him about his 'sheathing' issue...," Pacifica said who has several ponies and knows about how male ponies have sheaths for their penises.

Twilight goes very red... Alchor, still is very unused to his body. Has a similar problem that Spike did in regarding... 'discipline'. In other words, whenever he got... 'excited'... he got 'hard'... and when Alchor got 'hard', EVERYONE saw it... you'd have to blind AND fifty miles away not to see this stud in... 'action'. And again, since Alchor was both still unused to this body AND unable to see it thanks to his pony body... a lot of the time he just walked through town with... 'it' fully erect for all to see... And being completely oblivious to what's happening... (his newfound appreciation for the mare body, shockingly did NOT help matters...)

This, naturally, made him even MORE of a mare magnet... he was already popular as the first MALE Alicorn. Sunset was still weighing the pros and cons of whether or not it's a good idea to keep the old 'all Alicorn are royals' rule and bring him into the 'family'. And having magical powers on par with pre-merge Celestia or he will once he gets his powers under control in any case.

Twilight was personally tutoring him in magic, it was made more difficult since all his magics were literally being housed in the WRONG focal point... but Alchor was a good student... and gradually they were making progress. And since she never got the chance to explain how he misremembered the Sunset dance in their first encounter... plus how he kept doing it for her... and how he kept 'unsheathing' more around her then any other mare...

Twilight bristles, "Oh, like your one to talk! How goes your 'touch therapy' with Tyrone?" she snarks back pointedly.

Now it was Pacifica's turn to blush, Tyrone had been a bit overwhelmed with sensory overload with the return of his sense of touch... and Pacifica had been... helping him out... by making out with him... among other things...

Pacifica sighed.

"Touché." she conceded... then they both laughed. "Oh, were just terrible, aren't we?"

"Yep, and I'm loving every minute of it!" admitted Twilight.

Little did they know... they were being listened on.

"Uh...should we tell them about this?" Wendy ask Dipper.

"Nah, they already know. Alchor is honestly just too happy with being free from being a guinea pig, having Twilight's attention and to have 'equipment' that doesn't need a microscope to be seen," Dipper briefly grumbles 'Lucky, smug bastard' under his breath.

"Hey, come on. You're not that bad," Wendy said as she tries to reassure him. "You're a badass, savage animal and I love you as you are..."

"My shortcoming is still an issue... but when you say things like that... it makes it not as important to me... thanks Wendy...," Dipper smiles.

Wendy smiles... then frowns. "Wait, that's only Alchor. What about Tyrone?"

"He's... something else entirely... he did go through alot after he was killed by Mina. Going to the Isles and everything he did to kill the Outsider," Dipper said.

"Yeah," Wendy said winching.

"It's weird... in a lot of ways, they're still 'me' at the core... but things like this... well, their on their way to being their OWN people... I can't argue with that... plus, I gotta admit, its nice to have brothers," Dipper said.

"So... do nothing for now and see how things pan out?" asked Wendy.

Dipper nods... and they go back to strategizing their survival training...

And little did THEY know, they too were being listened in on...

Mable listens to the nutty conversation from the doorway in disbelief...

'Their talking about prisons, clones, unicorns and death... like it's NORMAL... this is my life now... how did this happen?' thinks Mable in slow, horrified realization...

Mable trudged through the hallways in a daze...

She couldn't do this... she couldn't take this anymore... she'd tried to deny it, ignore it, pretend it wasn't happening... but she couldn't pretend any longer... her life was NUTS...

Gnomes... lake monsters... living wax creatures... intergalactic bounty hunters... clones.. .pioneer ghosts... time traveling criminals... videogame's brought to life! Oracle mailboxes who have no sense of humor... lego people that try to eat you! Demonic Halloween massacres (And not the goofy B-Movie type! The STABBY type!)... ungrateful gremoblin employees... nightmarish abominations from a bottomless pit... invisible sharks... her sky-clad brother suddenly appearing on TV, burning her eyes! And her the only one remembering it. More clones! Cute grubs that break your heart! Being beaten by an angry mob!

Suddenly the walls felt so much closer... why was it getting so hard for her to breath? She needed to get out! She ran outside, beginning to hyperventilate...

She walked aimlessly through the woods... catching her breath... but still lost in her thoughts...

"Couldn't even get something good out of this, like having a Unicorn friend out of this insanity! Not only does that honor go to my unicorn hating brother but on top of it all, she's a know-it-all, meddlesome, bucks me the hoochie at the drop of a hat bitch!" she grumbles to herself. "Even the prospect of being related to a unicorn isn't that great..."

!

Flashback -

"My brother is a unicorn! Happy things DO come to those who wish hard enough!" exclaimed Mable happily. Having JUST been patched up after Stan and Eda had dispersed the mob that been beating her...

Alchor gives her a weird look. "I'm sorry... do I know you?" he asked.

Mabel looks at him stunned... then chuckles nervously. "Heh, heh... Good one bro..."

"No, seriously. Who are you? I got a lot of memories erased back in the labs...," Alchor said.

Mabel started to panic. "...we, we're the queens and kings of Halloween? We're the masters of birthdays? We're brother and sister? I'm the jelly to your peanut butter? I'm Mabel?"

"Mabel?" Alchor ask shocked.

"Good, glad you remember," Mabel sighs in relief.

"You're that annoying bitch that brought Tyrone to life even after being warned not to!" Alchor said.

"Wait, what?!" Mabel ask stunned.

"Do you have any idea the HELL Tyrone went through because of you? The Hell I want through!? I was only in that bastard doctors clutches because he stole the cloning machine that had my template on it!" he said as his nostrils begin to flare.

"But, but," Mabel babbles.

"You're lucky that most of the torture and experiments were wiped from my memory and that I TECHNICALLY owe you my life. Otherwise, so help me Faust, I would have shoved this horn right into your eyeball," Alchor said.

Twilight teleports in, calms him down and sends him off. Mabel is about to thank her, but her glare stops her cold.

"Pacifica is already filling a restraining order against you in regards to Tyrone. I'm doing likewise with Alchor. You've done ENOUGH damage to him...," she said and begins to storm away.

Mabel tries to grab her. "Hey come on, he's my broth-"

!

End of Flashback -

The excruciating memory of getting bucked in the hootchie by Twilight (again), was enough to get Mabel out of her head... just in time to see a peculiar sight...

That little kid with the huge hair that had sneaked into the Shack earlier... What was his name?... girdle? Decahedron? Paul? Anyway, he was talking to two giant men wearing wrestler costumes?

"Rest assured, this is in the bag gentlemen! Soon we'll gain the Shack, the power of Bill Cipher, I just need to establish a doorway to him through Stan's mind, plunder it's secrets and we'll be...," the boy was saying but was cut off.

"Dude, we already know all this! We were all there when you told Killbane the plan while begging with your life!" Jatt said.

"Yeah, quit stalling and do the stupid ritual or whatever!" Jutt says threateningly and cocking his gun.

Gideon gulps, but nods and goes to do just that... Deep inside, he's panicking. He'd lied to them and told them that Bill Cipher was an ancient Demon who was both the source of magic in Gravity Falls AND beneath the Shack. And that only the OWNER of the shack could fully use his power. Gideon didn't kid himself, he was on borrowed time... if he could JUST get hold of the Shack... then he could hopefully fool Killbane long enough to find the other journal and gain the power he needs to FINALLY get back on top...

Gideon fiddled with the ritual items, he'd told them he was summoning a SHADE of Bill to bargain with him. He dared not reveal the journal... it was his ONE ace in the hole... So he was forced to do the ritual by MEMORY... which he was now realizing was MUCH harder then anticipated...

It took a few first failed attempts... but FINALLY-

Gideon grunting, clasps his stomach and his eyes glow blue; chanting out the summoning spell. "Egassem sdrawkcab. egassem sdrawkcab. Egassem sdrawkcab! Egassem sdrawkcab! Egassem sdrawkcab!"

The background turns black and white, wildlife pauses in midair and a laughing Bill Cipher appears.

"OH, OH, GRAVITY FALLS! IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK NAME'S BILL CIPHER AND I TAKE IT YOU'RE SOME KING OF LIVING VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY?" Bill said laughing. "I'M JUST KIDDING, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, GIDEON!"

"W-what? H-how do you know my name?" Gideon asked.

"OH, I KNOW LOTS OF THINGS!" Bill said as his body shows pictures of various cryptic locations. In a slow, deep voice. "LOTS OF THINGS..."

Making both Jutt and Jatt to step back. Both in a panic but calmed down when Bill's body returns to normal.

"HEY, LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" Bill said as he gestures toward a deer, the deer's teeth then fly into his hand. And gives the teeth to Gideon. "DEER TEETH! FOR YOU KID!"

Gideon cries out in shock and drops teeth on the ground. "You're insane!"

"SURE I AM, WHAT'S YOUR POINT?" Bill ask as he puts the teeth back in deer's mouth and the deer runs away.

"Listen to me, demon! I have a job for you. I need you to enter the mind of Stanford Pines and steal the code to his safe," Gideon said.

"WAIT... STAN PINES?" Bill ask turning around as his body shows pictures of Stan and his tattoo. "YOU KNOW WHAT, KID? YOU'VE CONVINCE ME! I'M SOLD! I'LL HELP YOU WITH THIS AND IN RETURN YOU CAN HELP ME WITH SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON! WE'LL WORK OUT THE DETAILS LATER."

"Deal!" Gideon said.

"Wait" Jutt spoke up.

"The brat told us that you're the source of the magic around here and you're underneath the shack and only the owner can use your power. Is that true?" Jatt ask.

Gideon was in a panic but to his surprise Bill just played along.

"YUP THAT'S RIGHT," Bill said while giving Gideon a message in his head of him owning him big time and a turkey.

Bill's hand lights on blue fire and he shakes hands with Gideon sealing the deal.

"WELL, TIME TO INVADE STAN'S MIND! THIS SHOULD BE FUN! REMEMBER: REALITY IS AN ILLUSION, THE UNIVERSE IS A HOLOGRAM, BUY GOLD, BYE!" Bill shouted before disappearing.

"It worked!" Gideon laughs maniacally.

Mable is terrified by what she's seen...but quickly pulls herself back together and runs home. She had to warn Grunkle Stan!

!

Back at the shack -

"So Slenderman CAN'T be the one giving me flash forwards?" Asked Dipper over the phone.

Kronika over the phone explains that although everyone is bared from using time magic on Slenderman without risking the destruction of the universe he's in. This is a double edged blade for him, as him using time magic is just as bad if not worse... which ordinarily wouldn't mean much to him- he's destroyed many universes on a whim this way -but he seemed to have a vested interest in this world, so he wouldn't dare. Not to mention that he only does it every so often so he wouldn't attract the attention of bigger fishes out there.

"But I could have sworn I saw Slenderman in the steam room I was in when I...," Dipper said.

"Maybe you were just dizzy from the heat? Or, possibly he was there but was knew Wendy was about to die and just showed you a fake, likely to soon be real image just to mess with you? He's infamous for pulling dick moves like that to mess with people or mislead them just for the heck of it...," Kronika suggested.

Dipper thinking about it and maybe still a little unsure. "Well..."

"In any case, they hadn't sense in degradation of the universe, so he DEFINITELY hadn't been doing time magic. And TRUST me, we would have sensed that...," Kronika said.

Dipper thanks her and hangs up, he just got a trusted expert opinion that just said it was impossible... so why did he still feel so uneasy?

His thoughts were interrupted as Mabel runs in and starts yelling about what's-his-face, a demon called Bill Cipher, a bunch of freaky luchadore wrestlers and a plot to break into Grunkle Stan's mind...

"Demon?" Eda ask and quickly uses a demon detecting spell... and it immediately shatters... making her go VERY pale... as this indicated a demon of the HIGHEST order...

"That's bad right?" Dipper ask his aunt.

"Really bad. This only happens when someone like Abader and higher are nearby," Eda said.

"Wait Bill Cipher is the one who made a deal with Tyrone," Dipper said remembering.

"And he's after Stan!" Mabel shouted out.

They rush to the living room to find Grunkle Stan. They found him asleep in his easy chair. Just in time for a demonic triangle-shaped shadow posses his body.

"There has to be something here," Dipper said looking through the journal.

"What's that?" Eda ask.

"It's a journal that Dipper found when we first got here. It has all this stuff inside about the things found in Gravity Falls," Mabel answers.

"I see," Eda said remembering what Stan revealed to her when he took her down into the underground lab under the shack.

Dipper reads about Bill in the journal... he also reads a spell that allows people to mentally enter a persons mind to chase after him. And since this spell was made and researched in Gravity Falls by the author, it still worked as it was interwoven with the natural magic of Gravity Falls.

"Unless you have a spell?" Dipper ask Eda.

"Yes but that spell has us physically enter a person's dream. Meaning unlike the spell in the book. If we die in the dream world, we really do die," Eda said.

"Well I seen enough of the Nightmare on Elm movies to know that's a bad idea," Wendy said.

"Oh yeah," Twilight said remembering those horror movies she watched with the beaver brothers.

"So let's use it and get him! We need to save Grunkle Stan!" Mabel shouted as she tries to grab book, but Dipper pulls it away.

"No Mable, we need to be patient remember what happen last time?" Dipper ask Mabel keeping the book away from her.

Went Twilight's hooves as they wracked Mable in the hoochie as she impatiently jumped and tried to grab the book and read the spell anyway while Dipper was still talking.

Dipper without missing a beat continues. "Thank you Twilight."

Twilight smiles at him as he looks down at the whimpering Mable rolling on the floor, clutching her privates sobbing.

"As I was saying Mable, We need to be patient. We know nothing about this Bill Cipher but he seems very powerful. We need to strategize and get reinforcements and supplies... I also am worried about these armed wrestlers you talked about... sounds like the Luchadore gang who I already run into when I saved Wendy and Pacifica from them," Dipper had done extensive research on many pre-merge organizations of interest both criminal and esoteric.

"Yeah, Mable do we SERIOUSLY need to remind you how running headlong into the mines ended poorly for everyone?" Wendy ask.

Mable just kept sobbing... while Luz and Edda attended her...

They called Sunset... when she hears Bill's name. She calls EVERYONE that she could her a hold of and could make it. Danny, Dani, Juniper, Jake, Lilith and any of her available soldiers, Star, Marco and their friends, the penguins of Madagascar, the Turks, her sisters and family (both human and pony), Luna, Cadance (with great reluctance) Celestia. Shining Armor stayed at the castle to look after his son Fury Heart, Unico and Alchor who is still learning to control his body.

Finn and Jake, all the leaders/princess of all other nearby areas, Private Public, Blubs and Durland, Dib, Jenny and all her sisters, Spike, Spyro and their girls, Marceline and her gang, the Powerpuff girls, Hiccup, Eragon, Korra and Asami, all the videogame characters main heroes and villains, Crow and Becky, the Psychonauts...

!

Camp Lakebottom -

"Alright team! Sunset just set an alert of the highest priority! CODE RED! All available hero's are to immediately report to Pine family Shack for further details!" Sasha said.

Lilly rolls her eyes. "Oh, for the love of.... what did Mable break this time?" she asks exasperated.

"Now sweetie, we shouldn't jump to conclusions... it might not be about her... this time," Milla said although she tries to sound unbiased... there's not a person there who can't hear doubt in her voice.

"Yeah, I think I'm confident enough to say that's a safe bet...," Raz snarks, but keeps his peace otherwise.

Sasha turns to Harry. "Harry, you go take all the campers down into the bunker. On our way to the shack, let's make sure everyone else in town got the message to go their designated bunkers as well."

Ollienader interrupts. "Actually, maybe I should stay here. If things go sideways, I'll be able to keep the campers safe."

Sasha nods. "Good idea Ollie. Alright team, let's go!"

Ollieander watches as they leave... waves after them... then starts to grin evilly...

Harry starts to run to the intercom to start issuing commands to everyone-

A simple Psi-blast leaves him unconscious to the world...

!

At the shack -

"Bad news, Plot Device called in sick. Said she got a bug... apparently she downloaded AOL by accident..." explained Blub.

Private Public sighed, but continued to lead the rest of the police inside the Owl House. Eda had levitated Stan who is still in his easy chair into her house once, where there was already tons of protection spells cast on it. Plus once it became clear how many people would show up there be no way for that many people to get inside the shack at once. The max number of people that could safely be inside the shack is 100 which the number of people that showed up is way over that. And that's the show floor and not the much smaller living room.

Inside the owl house entering the living room which was redesign so that the living room be like the gift shop of the mystery shack. Doors block the way to the other parts of the house. The room that housed the museum is a bigger on the inside then the outside type room, thanks to Eda using a pocket dimension spell. It took alot of resources and magic to do it but it was worth it once the money started coming in.

The museum first room which housed the map of the layout of the museum, some benches and giant stuff owls that came from the Isles. Along with the restrooms that Eda had to add to meet the building standards to be able to open as a museum. And where everyone had gathered.

"What are you guys doing here?" Luz ask seeing her friends from magic school. The Blight kids, Gus and Willow.

"We were visiting Gravity Falls when we saw Eda's sister and some soldiers and we followed them," Willow explains.

"And why are you here?" Luz ask seeing that Anne and the Hops family are here as well.

"We wanted to know what was happening," Anne said.

It takes time, but soon EVERYONE is at the Owl House. At first many are tense... but then when they see the familiar sight of a sobbing Mabel huddled on the ground clutching her cootchie after she once again tried to grab the book. They start to let their guard down and just start to get annoyed... assuming that Mable had done something... yet again... and the irritated murmuring began...

"Oh Goodie, the moron strikes again..."

"What did she do this time?"

"Fifth time this week we've had to pull her ass out of the fire..."

"And it's only Tuesday."

"Remind me again, why we haven't just gotten rid of her already?"

"What a pain..."

"What a nuisance..."

"What a loser..."

These angry whispers swirled around Mable's head... she begins to cry harder... but she also grows more determined... she'd show them! She'd save Grunkle Stan! She'll show them who's stupid!

Eda had long healed her... but she stayed still... bidding her time...

Sunset called everyone's attention. "Right, now that everyone's here and people who just showed up..."

"FINALLY!"

Everyone, having let their guard down and dismissed Mable as unimportant. Were completely stunned when she immediately aborted her pained fetal position, ran up, snatched the journal from a surprised Dipper and ran to Grunkle Stan's prone form while reading the spell-

"Mable! Don-," Dipper shouted.

"WE'RE COMING GRUNKLE STAN!"

Suddenly, everyone finds themselves in Grunkle Stan's mind.

Mable smiles. "Don't worry Grunkle Stan! The Calvary is here! CHARGE!"

She expected enthusiasm and camaraderie... what she got instead...

"YOU IDIOT!" everyone shouted.

"What is wrong with you!?" Dipper ask.

Mable was stunned and baffled. "What's with you? I waited for reinforcements, didn't I?"

Dipper groans. "Mabel, not everyone here was reinforcements! Some of them were local law enforcement and national leaders! They were here to discuss a plan of action! How to properly defend Gravity Falls and the surrounding nations should the worse should happen!"

"Should the worse happen? Uh... look. I'm flattered you think so highly of Grunkle Stan...but as much as I love him, the world won't end if something happens to him... I mean, MY world would end but...," Mabel ask confused and sees everyone face-palming and groaning. "What?"

"You haven't been paying attention at ALL to what's been happening around you, have you?" Wendy ask.

"Uh, yeah. I've been kinda busy nursing the damage to my lady parts!" Mabel snarks annoyed.

Twilight walks forward menacingly. "Yeah, well. Looks like my performance is about to get an encore."

She's reluctantly held back by Dipper.

"Mabel, this isn't just about Grunkle Stan! Bill is a HUGE threat! Like 'End-of-the-world' threat! Slenderman is like the Joker, where he's able to play with the big boys because of what he's able to do. Bill is like Darksied where he's able to fight just about anyone without breaking out a sweat. I heard enough about him from Abader and the others during game night. Speaking of which Marceline where is your dad?" Sunset ask.

"Chasing a golf ball," Marceline said earning her looks. "I know, I know. My dad is strange."

"I gathered the leaders and police to discuss how to protect all the people in Gravity Falls and the surrounding nations. You've not only thrown us all in here with no plan but now left everyone else a sitting duck if Bill tries something!" Sunset said to Mabel.

"And the potential Luchadore connection isn't making me feel better either...," Private Public said.

"I can't believe she's family," Lilith said. "This is my childhood all over again."

"And I'm finally understanding how you felt," Eda said.

"You mean still feeling," Lilith said glaring at her sister. Then glares at Mabel. "But she's much worse."

"Well at least the XJ sisters are outside, keeping us safe. It's impossible for them to enter the dream world...," Dipper was saying but was cut off.

"No! No this can't be happening! Not again!" Jenny shouted.

Dipper trails off in horror...

Jenny is there, horrified... having a flashback of the LAST time she had dreams... her sisters, although not burden by such a traumatic memory and thus taking it better... are still stunned...

"What?! How is this possible? You're ROBOTS! You can't enter the dream realm!" Twilight said.

The sisters do a quick diagnosis check...

"I... I got the Dream upgrade!" XJ-3 said.

"I... I got it too! How's this possible?" XJ-7 said as well.

"What? No? How? I know I had this uninstalled! Mom took it out of me," Jenny said.

Dipper starts to get REALLY worried as a disturbing thought came to mind. "Jenny, girls... did you get a tune-up or an upgrade recently?"

The sisters shake their heads, but Jenny...

"Uh... a couple days ago I got badly damaged fighting a rouge dino and had to go to the GF Police Station to get an emergency repair job.... why?" Jenny ask.

Dipper doesn't respond, instead he turns to the sisters. "Did you girls... get anything weird from Jenny recently?"

The sisters admit they got some free digital coupons from Jenny in an E-mail for a free oil treatment and spa which they loved! But Jenny quickly denounces this, saying she doesn't remember doing that. But her confused sisters point out the e-mail had her address and security codes attached.....

Dipper checks the timestamps on her Jenny repair job and the E-mail's and groans. "Guys... I think someone re-installed the dream upgrade while Jenny was out of it AND a virus that hijacked her E-mail and made her send those coupons who ALSO had a virus that installed the dream software into all of you. The time stamps you all got the E-mails shortly after Jenny clocked in to be fixed!"

Private Public starts to panic about a potential spy in his ranks and apologizes to an equally freaked out Jenny.

“How about you guys? Anyone who is a robot in your group isn’t here?” Dipper ask the videogame characters.

“None of us is a robot who came here,” Mario said.

“Can’t you and your sister just reboot?” Luz ask Jenny.

“Yes.... but we need someone to do it to our bodies,” Jenny said.

Sasha groans. "I'm afraid that won't be possible. Our bodies aren't at the Shack, we've physically entered, Stan's mind!"

This caused more commotion!

"Wait, I thought this spell only sent us in mentally!" Mabel gasps.

Dipper glares at her. "Yes, when EVERYONE is holding hands has, lit the special ceremonial candles, then they only get sent in mentally. Dang it Mable, because you skipped the rest of the ritual and skipped right to the spell, you botched the whole thing! Now were all vulnerable to being KILLED! Instead of just waking up if we died in the dream world."

"Actually, I have some good news there." Said Eda suddenly. "Before this whole mess, Stan let me put a couple spells on his head. One of which was one that would allow any 'friends' of Stan to be immune to death inside his head. You can still feel pain, but other then that there should be no problem. Stan's conscious mind might be out, but he allowed me access so I should be able to make his subconscious give this gift to the rest of you."

She quickly casts a spell to do just that.

"Wait, why were you casting spells on Stan's dreamscape?" asked Wendy.

"Well I got this book from an alien, showing various sexual positions that are physically impossible for a human to do outside a dream-," Eda was saying till everyone screams and begs her to stop talking.

Desperate to change the subject. Lilith tries to take stock of the situation. "People think; is there ANYONE still outside guarding Stan's body?"

“Well there is still King and Hooty,” Eda said not seeing either of them around.

“Those two?” Lilith ask.

“Yeah, we’re screwed,” Eda admitted.

Everyone else was starting to freak out too... but for different reasons...

"Riiiight... anyone else's 'IT'S A TRAP'! Senses picking up here?" Eda ask.

"Yup and it's all Mabel's fault why we're all here in the first place. Again," Amity said glaring at Mabel.

Mabel grows more and more distraught as more and more people talk about her or shouted at her for dragging them into this mess.

“FINE! FRACK ALL OF YOU! I'LL SAVE GRUNKLE STAN MYSELF! UNLIKE CERTAIN PEOPLE!” Mabel shouted and gives Dipper a nasty glare. “I STILL PUT FAMILY ABOVE ALL ELSE!”

She runs off before anyone can stop her... unfortunately, she also leaves with the journal... and the reverse spell...

She didn't get far as she was struck with a bolt of dark energy transforming her. Her head grew big and ugly with braff green skin. And a mirror appeared in front of her.

"My cuteness!" Mabel screams seeing what she has transformed into.

"I'll be taking that," a strange pale man who wearing clothing made out of shadows said taking the book from Mabel.

"Pitch Black!" Sunset said recognizing him.

"Who?" Wendy ask.

"The Boogey Man," Sunset said.

"And I'm not alone," Pitch Black said as a alicorn like thing appeared which he got on.

"The Tantabus!" Luna said.

"What?" Sunset ask her aunt.

"A living nightmare she created to torment her for all the evil she had done while she was Nightmare Moon," Pitch said.

"But it disappeared after the merge," Luna said.

"Which, I found and now we're working together to bring fear to the world again," Pitch said.

"And don't forget me," Misterioso Grande the mask living nightmare wrestler said appearing.

"You're working for Bill aren't you?" Sunset said ignoring Mabel who is crying about not being cute anymore.

"He ask me to keep you all busy. And now let me introduce you all to some of my friends from all the horror movies that Stan has watched," Bill said revealing horror movie villains and monsters from old horror movies.

"Wait you're not getting Freddy? Jason? Pinhead? Pennywise?" Soos ask.

"Ick hell no. I can't stand those guys, the real ones and I'm not going to be dealing with their memory copies," Pitch response.

"Wait how can you have met the real deals?" Dipper ask.

"You can connect to other universes through dreams if you know what you're doing," Pitch answers.

"And they're as revolting when they're not trying to kill you," Misterioso Grande adds.

"Well we can handle these horror movie villains," Danny said.

"This is the dream world and we can do anything here and unlike that Nightmare on Elm Street films we can't die in a dream," Luna said.

"True but you can still feel pain and they're not the only ones I brought to this party," Pitch said as he snap his fingers and figures came out of the shadows.

Nightmare Moon step out followed by Celestia but different as she's wearing golden armor and her mane is fire.

"What is this?" Celestia ask staring at her double.

"I'm you a better you. If Luna could become Nightmare Moon, you can easily become me, Day Breaker," her double said.

"Or me Broken Heart," a dark version of Cadance said appearing.

"Step aside for me," a new Sunset said riding in a chariot pulled by the mane six who have been transformed into demonic ponies. The Sunset riding on the chariot wore full plated armor with a cape made out of the manes of Celestia, Luna and Cadance. With her helmet topped with the skull of Celestia and shoulders are that of Luna and Cadance. Following behind her came her human family all wearing armor decorated with the bones of ponies.

"A you that went on a killing spree and got the family to joined in as well. And wearing the remains of the fallen. Got to say you do pull off wearing the skin and skulls," Crow said to Sunset.

"As if I would let mom get off that easy," Sunset said.

A Star wearing the brutal war princess outfit when she sneaked into the reform school, along with Marco with the monster arm that didn't look out of place with the monster that Marco became under Star's magic. The evil doubles of Juniper and Jake, that both of their good counterparts glared at. The evil older version of Danny Dan Phantom, along with an older Dani who had sided with her brother. The Powerpunk Girls but joined by Bunny. Exo-Skin that Jenny remembers well. And Chara who with her soulless smile made everyone be creeped out by her.

"MEET THE BAD END FRIENDS,” Bill said as he appeared.

"Bill," Sunset said remembering what the others told her about him. "Remember he is only a shadow while in the dream world he doesn't have his full powers here."

"AH SPOIL SPORT," Bill said. "I SEE YOUR GAME BUDDIES TOLD YOU ALL ABOUT ME AH PRINCESS?"

"Yup and about your weaknesses as well. Like you're trap in your universe and can only project your mind in this one. Where you're much weaker and can only do things when you make a deal," Sunset said.

"I MUST ADMIT THIS PLAN WENT BETTER THEN EXPECTED. ALL THANKS TO SHOOTING STAR THERE," Bill pointed to a still crying Mabel getting her attention. "IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU NOT THINKING AND DOING DUMB STUFF AS THE DUMB CHARACTER OF THE CAST. ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WHO COULD HAD CAUSED TROUBLE WOULDN'T HAD ALL FALLEN INTO THE TRAP."

"What?" Mabel ask.

"YOU'RE OUR HERO! OUR DUMB HERO WHO MAKE IT WORSE FOR EVERYONE BUT FOR THE VILLAINS! IN FACT YOU'RE MORE OF A VILLAIN. COME ON GANG LET'S ALL HEAR IT FOR MABEL THE VILLAIN!" Bill shouted causing the villains to chant Mabel's name and chanting one of us.

"HEY MABEL JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IF WE GET OUT OF THIS ALIVE WE'RE GOING TO BEAT YOU! AGAIN!" Amity shouted out.

Causing Mabel to whimper as she saw Dipper glaring at her like he did when he took part in her beating.

"HOW ABOUT SOME NIGHTMARES FROM YOUR WORSE DREAMS!" Bill said as he made some nightmares become real.

"Oh man I hope it's not the English bulldog man I keep dreaming about!" Soos said then screams as said bulldog man appears in front of him.

"Snakes!" Willow shouted out as a horde of snakes appeared in front of her.

"A harpoon!" Private the penguin shouted out as a whale sized harpoon gun appeared in front of him.

Which caused everyone to stop and stare at him.

"I often dream of me being a whale and whalers want my blubber," Private explained.

"Misterioso Grande you and the others take care of them while me and BIll look for the safe combo," Pitch said as he then took off riding on Tantabus deeper into Stan's mind, followed by Bill.

"So how are we going to do this?" Dipper ask seeing the villains advancing.

"Get a group together and go after those 3 while we handle these guys," Sunset said.

"And remember you can do anything while here," Luna said.

"Really?" Wendy ask as she transforms into a mecha deer.

"Awesome!" Dipper said as he transforms into Ironman like armor. With his arms transforming into Megaman style blasters. And not just any blasters but improved and more powerful ones.

Wendy jumped into action, she had the specially made Pip-boy, Dipper made for her immediately retract all her clothes. Modesty wasn't important, SURVIVAL was. And as a sex demon, her strength, stamina, and senses were ALWAYS at their peak when Sky-clad.

Dipper did similar, sadly, he'd been in the middle of remaking his pip boy to include upgrades to his battle armor that Alloy had given him while she'd been visiting to check the cauldrons. So it hadn't been fully formatted yet, leaving Dipper with just his loincloth. He briefly toyed with using his imagination to make an iron-man like suite in the dream realm as he'd read about, but he discarded that. Reading about how to fight was one thing, but in a life or death situation it was better to fall back on his actual training that he was familiar with. But that was fine, thanks to the fact he couldn't really be hurt in the Dream realm AND the specialized training he'd been getting from Wendy's mom. This worked just as well. But he did recreate the battle armor he used to fight the bounty hunters giving him the equipment that he's use in fighting in.

Dipper jumped on Wendy's back as she transformed into her deer form, but made out of metal. Ever since the 'bounty hunter' incident, Dipper had been annoyed how he'd been unable to help Wendy while she rampaged AND was outnumbered. So he And Wendy worked out ways they fight together to make sure something like that NEVER happened again!

Wendy used her power to RAM through a bunch of trolls, and then to everyone horror... she then supplied borrowed power to Dipper to enhance his own ability (she could only do this while at her peak of power, with someone she trusts with her life and through intense training to enhance the bond) and began to 'fix' them as they're pieces flew through the air by him.

Dipper had been experimenting with his powers and realized that 'fix machines' was rather relative. What was considered 'fixed' to one person was not necessarily the same definition to someone else. And what a 'machine' was, was equally flexible a definition. Seeing how a machine doesn't have to be made out of metal but can be made out of organic materials. And what was considered one of the greatest 'machines' but a body?

Dipper also been taking drinkable tonics that are still in the testing phase before all the Adam products are approved to be sold on the open market. Dipper been taking engineering tonics to help support his knowledge in fixing machines. Like Clever Inventor allowing him to do things with less stuff, Deadly Machines to make a machine be more powerful, Brain Boost to improve his thinking capabilities, Medical Expert giving knowledge in how to heal, and Electric Flesh to make him immune to electricity so he wouldn't get shock. He's been taking the tonics once a day for the last couple of days like medicine, so that he wouldn't overdose and become a splicer.

So by stretching these definitions, Dipper and Wendy had painstakingly trained in secret to perfect this tag-team technique. Where Wendy breaks them down and Dipper uses his pip-boy tools to 'fix' them... into weapons...

He quickly 'fixes' them into a horrific ball of flesh and organs made of psi-energy thanks to this being the dream world and he isn't bound by real world rules. Which Dipper uses as a bomb.

Although this method made many people vomit... they can't deny how effective this was.

Dipper had painstakingly studied biology, anatomy and medicine to perfect this technique of his. And the Medical Expert gave him knowledge that help him alot. True, he was no medic, and most of the 'things' he made would only last five minutes at least before falling apart.

Dipper smashes the evil car with a hammer he made from intestines and bones of Wendy's latest victim. And once clear of the villains they race off towards Bill and Pitch.

Camp Lakebottom -

Meanwhile, at the Camp Oleander has summoned all the campers to come near the lake for a 'emergency announcement'. However, when all the students show up. Professor Layton and Nelson Tethers expertly deduce he's up to no good, and confront him about it in front of everyone, explaining their deduction and revealing how they solved it. Which Oleander claps with a smile.

“Bravo gentleman! You two are every bit the problem solvers you were back on your own worlds....," he said as water bubbles behind him and nearby bushes start to rustle. "Buuut... you forgot one thing... We ain't on your world anymore."

Knocks both adults, and Mesa the tree woman with a bunch of well placed blast Psi-blast. "SO SOLVING 'PUZZLES' DON'T MEAN JACK-SHIT NO MORE!"

Both Layton and Nelson although smart, still hadn't fully gotten out of the 'solving a puzzle, immediately fixes the conflict' mindset from their worlds. Suddenly the giant lung fish monster pops out of the lake and start to capture children, while Luchadores pour out of the bushes to keep the kids and few remaining councilors from escaping. Thankfully, for the two professors faults, they were still good teachers.

Many luchadores found themselves drained, blasted or stupid. As Lincoln, Ronnie, Six and the Young Seven blast their way through and fled the camp.

Lincoln struggles as both girls drag him away. "Wait, where are we going!? We have to help the othe-"

"Lincoln! They have us heavily outnumbered, outgunned, and Ollienader and his monster are both too powerful for us! I don't like it either! But remember Layton's classes about 'picking your battles' and 'living to fight another day'!" Ronnie interrupts.

Lincoln didn't like it... but he agreed... so they had no choice but to flee as the rest of the camp was captured and dragged below by the lungfish. A second group of campers also escape being lead by Huntress Wizard who managed to fight off the attackers longs enough for her group to escape. Helped by Melody and Lila using their super strength, and Rose with her fighting skills. And Jody, Ophelia, Roger, Trixie, Spud, Fu Dog and Monroe who all had grabbed what magic items they could grab from Dib's collection also managed to fight their way out.

Ollienader call Loboto and tells him to be ready for their 'guests'... but also calls his boss.

“Okay, the camp's been secured and except Loud, Santiago, Six and the Young 7. There is also Huntress Wizard who escape with a bunch of other campers. Everyone else has been sent to Loboto's lab. But this plan of your's better work. Between this worlds more 'proactive attitude' and those dang plants everywhere. We could have a full on 'viva revolution' situation on our hands! And Let me tell you, I've been in the Congo. Those rebels did NOT mess around!” Ollienader said.

“Just keep things secure on your end, and focus on finding Loud's group! They were the only one's I was actually concerned about... we'll handle the rest...” the voice over the phone said.

“I’m sending the mind tanks out to capture them,” Ollienader said.

!

Stan's Mind -

"Wow," Dipper said as he and Wendy stood in front of the Mystery Shack that's black and white in a black and white setting.

"Yeah this is something," Wendy agreed.

"Naw this is pretty normal," Eda said who arrived with her sister Lilith.

Followed by Luz who is now dress as the Good Witch Azura. With Willow who is now part plant, Gus is is a big muscular guy, Amity who is now dress a grand witch, Edric now in knight armor, Emira who now has wings on her back and Mabel. Who is being still ugly and is tied up on a big shield. Held up by Edric who been using her to block any attack launched at the group. Like that creepy kid who had repeatedly stab Mabel with that knife, before Luz blasted the kid away.

"It hurts," Mabel cried who is battered and has several sharp weapons sticking out of her.

"Have you been using Mabel as a living shield?" Dipper ask Edric.

"Well she is the reason why we're all here and I did needed to protect my sisters from harm," Edric explains.

"Good that she's useful for once," Dipper said.

"Dipper?" Mabel moans in pain.

"Nope you need to pull your weight ugly," Dipper said.

"And the only way to free ourselves from this is either the spell which you young lady. Just ran off with, so we couldn't had just send people back to the real world. Or we just wake Stan up," Lilith glares at her niece.

"Can you please make me cute again?" Mabel ask having not heard she can do anything in a dream as she was too busy crying.

"No," Lilith said. "You're staying like that till we're all free from this mess."

"Sorry Mabel but you need to learn the hard way," Eda agreeing with her sister on this one.

"How about all of these wounds?" Mabel ask.

"It's just all in your mind. It's not real," Lilith said.

"But it hurts," Mabel cried out.

"Suck it up," Amity said as she smacks Mabel's oversized head with a spike mace.

"Everyone stay together we don't need people wandering away. Also Dipper what do your flash forwards showed you about this place?" Eda ask.

"It's full of doors that shows memories of Stan and I wasn't with the others when they found the code door," Dipper said.

"Ok so we all just search till we find it," Eda said leading them all inside.

"What about me?" Mabel ask trying to free herself.

"You stay there and not do anything. You're more useful as a human shield," Dipper said.

"Dipper... I'm your sister," Mabel whined.

"And that matters when you're the reason why we're in this mess in the first place?" Dipper said staring at the front door of the shack. "Also we should be careful there might be a trap in there."

"Good point," Wendy said as she grabs the shield that Mabel's is tied to from Edric. She opens the door into the shack and tosses Mabel inside, activating the traps left by Bill and Pitch.

"Wendy!" Eda snaps at the deer woman as Mabel's screams of pain rang out from the shack and sounds of gun fire, snapping, chainsaw, spinning, blades, crushing, zapping, lightning, and more.

"Better her then us," Wendy said.

A big boom sound came from inside followed by Mabel crying.

"Good point," Eda said thinking about it.

"Looks like it's over," Dipper said followed by something heavy falling on top of Mabel. Looking inside they saw the remains of many traps and a crater where the bomb went off, and in the middle is a big anvil. "Ok now it's over."

Walking inside Gus using his dream big guy form easily lifted the anvil off of Mabel who is crying in pain.

"No more," Mabel sobbed.

"You did say you wanted to save Stan so you're helping by being the human shield," Wendy said picking up the shield that somehow is still intact and Mabel still tied to it.

"Not like this," Mabel whimpered.

"Well looks like you're only willing to put everyone else but you in danger. Not so fun when you're the one taking the punches huh?" Dipper ask Mabel coldly. "Well we're not going to let you sit it out after dragging us into something when you didn't care to listen and do nothing to solve it."

"You mean she drags you all in and you all have to do the work while she does nothing?" Lilith ask.

"Yup," all the kids said.

"I was wrong she's not like you at all. At least you help out," Lilith said to Eda.

"Come on let's search," Eda said as she opens the first door that she's neared and exposing everyone to that memory. Which is Stan talking with Eda in his office.

"Eda you can't take all of that stuff for your museum," Stan said.

"Why not it's not like you have room for all of it. I have plenty of room so why not?" Eda ask.

"You're going to be getting more customers then me," Stan said.

"And?" Eda ask.

"You're not going to be sharing any of the loot are you?" Stan ask already knowing the answer.

"And that's the problem why?" Eda ask.

"Give me one good reason why I should give you all of the stuff in storage?" Stan ask.

"How about this?" Eda said as she began taking off her clothes.

The door slammed shut as Lilith red faced slams it shut.

"Really?" Lilith ask Eda.

"What? Now that I'm back with Stan I been having fun unlike you. Do you even go on dates?" Eda ask as she grins.

“My personal life is none of your business,” Lilith snaps.

“You’re right it’s moms seeing how you are the only single girl in the family,” Eda said making Lilith glare at her.

“Can we get to saving Stan. The others are fighting those nightmares,” Dipper said.

The search for the door with the safe code had the group opening all the doors that they came across. Which Lilith was soon wondering why she ever agreed in coming along or even showing up even with a demon as powerful as Bill appearing in the human world. She had seen things that had her sister and her husband doing things that she wish she could unsee.

"Hey I think I found it," Luz said finding a door hidden underneath a rug. Opening the door he saw Stan inputting the code.

"So what do we do?" Amity asked Dipper as he walks back out of a nearby memory door.

"We destroy it and Bill can't keep his end of the deal," Said Dipper as he reached over to grab it-

'Dipper' smirks as he nurses the bruise he got from Wendy. While everyone else was shock at what Wendy did. That's when another Dipper walk out from behind a corner after he was looking through some doors. Which caused everyone but Wendy to look between the two Dipper's.

"That's the real one," Wendy said pointing her thumb at the Dipper that just came in view. "This one is the fake."

"What gave me away?" said Pitch as he reverted back to his true form.

Wendy snorted. "Yeah, like I'm going to tell you..."

After the battle of the Sap mines, Tyrone revealed that he was originally going to dress just like Dipper to fool everyone, but he once again sabotaged himself by appealing to his dark side to wanting to make Mable feel more like and idiot before killing her by making his deception obvious...

Realizing that if not for Tyrone's inner turmoil, he would've succeeded in killing Mable. (Which despite all the recent problems she'd caused, Dipper still couldn't bring himself to allow that.) Both Wendy and Dipper set up a protocol that any time they lost sight of each other, the instant they saw each other again they had it give a signal that it was them and not an imposter. In this case, a confusing 'zip-lip' motion...

"Incoming!" Wendy shouted as a wave of black demonic horses that all look like they're made out of sand came rushing at them. Wendy jump in front of the group and used Mabel still bound to the shield to protect the others who help brace Wendy from being topple over as the wave of horses hit.

"WWWAAAAAAAA!" Mabel screamed as she was hit by the full force of the nightmares filling her mind with one horror after another, not to mention it felt like being sandblasted.

"Thanks for finding it!" Pitch shouted as he rode past them on Tantabus, grabbing the door from Eda.

"After him!" Eda shouted as she and the others gave chase.

!

Outside of Stan’s mind -

Unlike the last time that they fought the Powerpuff Girls found themselves being beaten by the PowerPunk Girls thanks to having Bunny on their side. Who is bigger and stronger then they remember her. Not to mention she now looks like a large body girl then the mess that she was when they created her. The 3 sisters were all knock into each other while in the air and were all struck by Bunny who slammed down on top of them. Sending all 3 sisters crashing into the ground.

"What's the matter? Is our sister too much for you?" Berserk ask looking down at them.

"Yeah our sister is the best," Brat said as she giggles.

"And much stronger then you 3," Brute said.

"And unlike how you 3 mess me up. I'm been made with the real stuff. I mean how hard was it for you Bubbles to find sugar? Or you Buttercup to find spices? No you two just went and got artificial and dirt and twigs. Was it really that hard to go to the store?" Bunny ask.

"You're not Bunny," Blossom said seeing how bad her words effected Bubbles and Buttercup.

"What you think happen to the remains that you kept in the shoe box under your bed?" Berserk ask.

"No!" Blossom said realizing what happen.

"I was recreated using real sugar and spices. Now I'm with my real sisters," Bunny said as she and her new sisters all fired with eye beams at her old sisters.

Elsewhere both Jake and Juniper found themselves dead even with their evil clones. Not to mention that unlike their clones, even with them beginning to train again after coming to Gravity Falls. Jake hadn't been doing much fighting or using his dragon powers. Same with Juniper who before coming to Gravity Falls had lost her powers for over a year. So both of them are rusty in fighting against foes who are just as strong as they are.

Both Danny and Dani had their hands full with their older counterparts. Which Dan unlike last time wasn't playing around or making sure that Danny would be alive to become him. Dani had the same problem as her older evil counterpart is older and stronger then she is. Both Danny and Dani used their ghost wail knocking their older counterparts away, giving them breathing room.

"So how did you deal with my future self?" Dani ask Danny.

"I didn't I never saw her," Danny said.

"That's because I was back at home base keeping an eye on things in case someone tried to attack it while Dan was gone," dark Dani said having recovered and standing with Dan.

"It's good to see you're following my footsteps," Dan said.

"We're never going to be you," both Danny and Dani said as they flew at their evil counterparts again.

Jenny was having trouble with the Exo-Suit, which kept trying to make Jenny wear it. Her sisters help her but they were also helping to protect the others. Anne and the Hop family stayed together as Anne had summon a sword and is fending off the villains from hurting her frog family. Slime Princess, Fire Princess, and Princess Bubblegum used their elemental powers to protect the other princesses but needed help. Marceline and her gang were in the thick of things with the other videogame heroes and villains, fighting along with the Psychonauts. Thanks to them being in the dream world where the only limits is their imagination, they all are able to attack with their most powerful attacks without tiring or having to wait for a cool down to use it again. But the problem is that every time they destroy one of the monsters or villains, they would just reappear good as new.

"Killing and skinning the royal family? Please you did it all wrong," Sunset said as she faced off with her evil counterpart. She’s flying in the air as her counterpart is riding in her chariot pulled the the corrupted mane six.

"Really and what you been doing is better? I made sure my Celestia watch as I killed and skin Luna and Cadance in front of her that she's the one who made me into what I am," Dark Sunset said as she lobed fireballs at her good counterpart.

Both of their families are fighting, with the good Sunset’s family summoning weapons or abilities while in the dream world. The dark family does have all the sisters so they outnumbered the good family. But the pony family joined and are helping their human counterparts.

“I made sure that Celestia fully understands that everything she had done and did has been for nothing. She gave me up and I took everything from her leaving her to watch as I drag her kingdom into the modern age, kicking and screaming all the way," Sunset said.

"And why are you letting her live in the castle then?" dark Sunset ask.

"To show her that unlike her I won't just kick her out of the house," Sunset said.

"Sunset quit bonding with her and just kick her butt!" Twilight shouted as she's helping Celestia, Luna and Cadance to fight off their evil counterparts.

"As if you have something that can keep me from coming back!" dark Sunset shouted.

"Source of all souls which dwell in eternal and infinite. Everlasting flame of blue, let the power hidden in my soul be called forth from the Infinite... RA-TILT!" Sunset shouted as she cast the spell on her evil counterpart engulfing her in the blue energy.

The evil mane six found themselves freed from the chariot they were pulling. Before they could make use of their newfound freedom, a bunch of grenades struck them. Down below Crow reloaded his robotic arm cannon.

"Hey Sunset what was that?" Crow shouted out.

"A banishing spell, I created using the Slayer anime as a base," Sunset explains.

"Well looks like it works," Crow said not seeing her double reappearing.

"I been waiting for a chance to use these spells and looks like they work in the dream world like they do in the real world," Sunset said knowing that she needs to find Bill and hit him before he knows what she's planning.

!

Stan's Mind -

"Give me the code!" Gideon shouted from the portal screen that's in the center of the room.

"77," Pitch began but stop as the Blight children cast fire spells on him, making him duck from the fireballs. Followed by both Eda and Lilith riding on their staffs chasing after him.

Still inside the shack Dipper and the others are fighting off the nightmares as they try to stop Pitch from telling Gideon the code for the safe, but attacking him. Luz, Gus, Willow, Amity, Edric and Emira are watching each other's back using their dream form's powers. Dipper is thinking up better weapons to use and using his power to make them better. Wendy was in a centaur form, the body of a deer, and the upper body of a werewolf with deer antlers on her head. And she's wielding Mabel still bound to the shield to protect her from attacks.

"Wendy stop that!" Eda shouted to Wendy.

"What she needs to carry her own weight," Wendy said blocking a incoming nightmare as it charge at her. Ramming it's head into Mabel who is screaming.

"At least stop catching the attacks that would have miss you," Eda said watching as Wendy swings Mabel around catching all the incoming attacks even the ones that would had miss her.

"No one likes her much?" Pitch ask.

"Nope," Lilith said casting a lightning spell which miss.

"Luz what are you doing?" Amity ask as Luz been holding her arms up over her head glowing with energy.

"Gathering up power for this attack I saw on an anime," Luz said. "It just takes awhile to cast."

"Luz this is the dream world you don't have to do that!" Dipper shouted over to her.

"Oh right!" Luz said as she now has a huge ball of energy hanging over her head. Causing her demon friends to all stare in awe. The light coming from the ball of energy drove back all the nightmares.

"But how are you going to hit him?" Gus ask.

"He's moving too fast," Edric said watching as Pitch flew around the room with Eda and Lilith hot on his tail.

"We need something to stop him in place," Emira said.

"I know," Dipper said as he creates a gun that's like that supervillain's energy glove thing in that Disney superhero movie with the super family.

Dipper fires the gun and the area around Pitch and Tantabus suddenly froze with both Eda and Lilith flying right past him. Pitch and Tantabus tried to move but couldn't as they were frozen in place. Pitch looks with his eyes to see Dipper pointing a gun at him and Luz holding a huge ball of energy over her head.

"Spirit Bomb!" Luz shouted throwing it at Pitch and Tantabus.

The spirit bomb hit the two villains sending both of them flying out of the dream shack as they crash through a wall. The spirit bomb traveled far from the dream shack before blowing up creating a huge flash in the dream sky. And with the villains went the door with the code for the safe. And with both Pitch and Tantabus gone the nightmares both in the shack and the ones fighting the other heroes all disappeared.

"Ok that's it, deal is off," Gideon said closing the portal screen on his end.

"So with the safe code gone how will Stan open it?" Wendy ask over a crying Mabel.

"I know it," Eda said and turns to Lilith. "Want to know how?"

"NO I DON'T! I HAVE ENOUGH OF YOU AND STAN SEX LIFE!" Lilith shouts.

"Because you don't have one?" Eda ask.

Lilith simply blasted Eda with a beam of energy. That left a hole in her sister's chest that went right through her back. Which Eda pokes her arm through.

"Really?" Eda ask.

"You'll be fine. Mabel has been taking worse," Lilith said.

"No more please," Mabel pleaded.

"Shouldn't we all be waking up?" Erdic ask.

The top of the shack was lifted off the building and a giant Bill appeared looming over them.

"WELL, WELL LOOKS LIKE YOU ALL BEAT PITCH AND TANTABUS BUT NOW IT'S MY TURN," Bill said looking down at them.

"Kids get ready," Eda said as she and Lilith put themselves between Bill and the kids.

Luz was about to say something when she spotted Sunset flying towards them. Time seem to slow down as Luz watched Sunset create a magical rune in her hands as she chanted a spell. Luz's eyes took in all the details of the rune her mind putting it to memory.

"Lord of the Dreams that Terrify, Sword of Cold and Darkness, free yourself from the heaven´s bonds, Become one with my power, one with my body, And let us walk the path of destruction together! Power that can smash even the souls of Gods, RAGNA BLADE!" Sunset shouted as she flew at Bill unleashing a sword made out of magical energy.

"RAGNA BLADE?" Bill said as his eye widen seeing the blade and Sunset wielding it coming right at him.

Bill screams as his astral form was being destroyed by the spell that Sunset somehow managed to copy from the Slayer world. Bill had a feeling that Lord of Nightmares had a hand in allowing Sunset use that spell. She could never miss a chance in getting back at him. And seeing it’s borrowing magic Sunset would be able to use it in the real world and not just in the dream world that connects to all universes.

Before he fully faded away, leaving him unable to astral project himself to Earth anytime soon, and several weeks for him to reconstitute from the magic attack. Bill destroys the connection to Stan’s mind to the Collective Unconsciousness, leaving the heroes who hadn’t entered Stan’s mind trap. Which left everyone who are inside the boundaries of Stan’s mind disappearing as the dream shack faded away.

!

Owl House -

“What how did I get here? And Frank stop licking!” Stan voice waking all of them up.

Stan is sitting in his easy chair with Frank the two headed dog licking his face. Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, Luz, Willow, Gus, Amity, Edric, Emira, Sunset, Eda, and Lilith all found themselves back in the first room of the museum. King was there with Hooty who had extended his head to look at what's happening inside the Owl House. There is also Frank who King let out of his cage when King run into the shack looking for someone to help and only finding Rusty the Mr. Handy watching the place. But they're the only ones who were awake, and for some reason Mabel was still ugly.

"About time you all woke up," King said who had entered the room after Mabel had used the spell and found everyone was just gone. He was using the bathroom at the time.

"Why am I still ugly?" Mabel shouted out looking at her hands.

"Well look on the bright side," Amity said as she and the other demons kids advance on Mabel. "No one can tell the difference after we're done with you."

Willow, Gus, Amity, Edric, and Emira bum rush Mabel knocking her to the ground and started punching her, again. And thanks to her enlarged head all of them could punch her face at once.

"This is the sap mine all over again," Eda said shaking her head.

"What happen?" Stan ask.

"Dream demon got into your head and Mabel being herself drag everyone here into your mind. And now after having to fight off living nightmares. Mabel is getting beaten up... again," Eda explains.

"And why is she...," Stan ask looking at what Mabel looks like now.

"Oh just a little spell I cast on her," Lilith said.

"Really?" Eda ask looking at her sister.

"She's the reason why we're in that mess to begin with. It will wear off on it's own... in a couple of days," Lilith said.

"You're like me more then you care to admit," Eda said.

"Come on kids enough," Stan said shooing away the demon kids and helping Mabel stand up.

"Why aren't the others here?" Dipper ask.

"They should had come out when Stan woke up," Sunset said casting location spells to try to find her family.

They hear an explosion coming from the shack.

"The shack!" Stan shouted trying to get up but couldn't find the energy to do it.

"I'll stay here," Sunset said.

Dipper runs outside followed by the others. Eda briefly pauses to make sure her home's 'all-purpose-contingency plan is ready to be activated at a moments notice... before running after to join the kids. Stan being too week from what happened in his mind and stays with Sunset who is casting a healing spell on him and Frank.

As they run, Dipper has a flashforward of a similar simulation. Where after fighting Bill, Gideon steals the deed to the shack, goes up to them and gloats... and Alternate Dipper... Dipper does nothing? Why isn't he doing anything? Gideon is right there with the deed and they outnumber him! Why are they letting him walk away without a fight?

Dipper snarls annoyed, he'd made an effort to be more sympathetic and give more the benefit of the doubt to his non-merge counterpart... but his non-proactive attitude was really annoying at times.

They charge outside just as Gideon walks out of the shack. Seeing them, instead of running like he SHOULD'VE. He smugly smirks and begins to gloat-

Teasingly holds the deed to them. "HA! Too little, too late! I got the-"

Dipper tackles him and starts to beat him up. The deed flies away from his hands.

Gideon is baffled by this-

"OW! Hey! OW! You can't- OW! Do this! OW! I WON! OW! I GOT THE DEED! OW! YOU WE'RE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE WITH YOUR TAIL- OW! OW! OW! -BETWEEN- OW! OW! WHY!? -YOUR LEGS! OW!"

Mabel is horrified by this display.

"Dipper, what are you doing!?" Mabel cried out.

Dipper pauses gives her a weird look. "Beating up the jerk who let a demon into our Grunkle's head, possibly had a hand in hundreds of people we know getting killed or worse, AND tried to steal our home. Got a problem with that?"

"No, but as entertaining as this is. We're going to have to step in now," a new voice said.

Everyone gasped in shock as two VERY familiar faces- who HADN'T seen the wanted posters? The infamous Gang leader Killbane and warlord wizard Grindelwald had step out from the side of the shack. Followed closely by dozens of armed Luchadores. One of them kicking the remains of Rusty the Mr. Handy of the shack out of his way.

Killbane glares at a battered Gideon. "Let me see if I have this straight, you have the macguffin in your hand and despite knowing you were outnumbered and useless in a scrap you decided to gloat instead of running away?"

Gideon disoriented and fearful looks up at Killbane. "Uh..."

"You know what? I don't want to hear it, STRIKE THREE," Killbane said as he crushes Gideon's head beneath his boot. "You're OUT..."

Everyone holds their ground.... except for Mabel and Luz and her friends who are sobbing, screaming AND vomiting. They'd never really seen someone killed before, especially someone their own age, let alone that brutally!

"Right, now that the clown is gone, on to business," Grindelwald said as he brings up a... wand?

"What the?" Dipper ask confused.

Grindelwald ignore this, summons the deed to him and starts to rotate the wand around it... causing it to glow...

"Wait a minute, I thought wands didn't work anymore!" Luz said.

Dipper holds up his pip-boy blaster. "They DON'T..."

Grindelwald smirks as he continues the spell. "Ah, but this is no ordinary wand my boy, it's a deathly hallow."

"That shouldn't matter! It's been firmly established that wand casting magic is effectively neutralized, even in Gravity Falls!" despite saying this, Dipper cautiously keeps his weapon trained on him.

Grindelwald keeping his wand on the deed, the deed continues to glow brighter. "My boy... do you know the tale?"

"Of the Deathly Hallows? Yeah, yeah. We've ALL heard if it. Three brothers magically cross a stream, this cheats death, Death take offense, Death tricks them, he creates three object of pow-," Dippers eyes widen in horrified realization. "SHIT! It's borrowed magic from a death entity!"

Grindelwald smirks triumphantly. "Yes, you're looking at the only known functioning wand in existence..."

"Well in this world anyways," Lilith said.

"Yes that's true," Grindelwald said who has been very interested in how the witch race of the demon world have sacks on their hearts that allow them to still use magic in this world.

"And he's not the ONLY one to get an upgrade," Killbane said as he dramatically punches the AIR, causing it to CRACK! The very air itself cracked!

"Wait I know that power! That's from One Piece!" Luz said.

Killbane laughs at their increasingly terrified expressions. "Imagine my surprise when we bagged the Gura Gura no Mi or the Quake-Quake devil fruit!"

Eda heard enough, they were outnumbered and frankly, way out of their league. So she activates the defenses of her house to teleport them back inside the shack. Eda also gets the house on it's legs and protected by a forcefield. If necessary, they'll flee.

Mabel is in a troubled fetal position whimpering over and over, rocking back and forth... "I'm a kid, this shouldn't be happening to me. I'm a kid, this shouldn't be happening to me...."

"Wait, so Dumbles warning was spot on? Dang, Harry is going to be pissed!" Wendy said having heard from Tambry about what happen at the camp as she works there.

Suddenly, they find the house knocked backward. They look up to see a barrier surrounding the Shack now...

"Like it? We used the town's laws of Kleptocracy to claim the Shack for ourselves and Grindelwald had just used said ownership to enchant a special barrier around it," Killbane said from outside.

"Wait that law is crazy and would easily be overturned by the federal government," Dipper said.

"In the confusion of the merge, the law among all the other wacky one's like Woodpecker marriage, fell through the cracks and were never officially revoked. So as the laws of magic was concerned, it was still binding. And since all communication with the outside world are severed, official action wasn't likely to happen soon either," Killbane explains.

"Wait why all this just for the shack?" Eda ask.

"It's simple," Killbane said as he explains the plan.

Basically, it was all a set up.

Grindelwald had been experimenting with psychic powers with loboto and managed to reclaim his occulemncy powers. He can't do much on his own, but he can look into the weak minded... like Gideon. He looked into his mind, saw the journal and the Bill ritual, summoned him made a deal.

They then waited for Gideon to make a fool of himself with a commercial to destroy any chance of anyone seeing him as a threat... Then Grindelwald and Killbane will set up a performance to make Gideon 'think' he came up with the idea to use Bill (actually minor mental compulsion from Grindelwald) to leverage his life.

Turns out Grindelwald was the one who tried to strangle Mable at the register, he just used a powerful charm to change his appearance. He used Mable's frazzled state of mind to plant a mental compulsion to go to the woods at a certain place and time. Anyway, he activated this be sending a small specialized psi-energy wave in her general direction. For everyone else, it went unnoticed. For Mable, it activate the compulsion. Gideon being unable to remember the ritual right was again, compulsions set by Grindelwald so he'd keep failing until Mable showed up.

This was to sell the image of Gideon was ineptly trying to wager his life to the Luchadores by making a deal with Bill. And Bill slyly going along with it for his own purposes, although the Luchadore connection is concerning. They're just a minor gang. (No one knows that it was them who caused the Summerween incident. Chairface never squealed as they had a private deal to bust him out later if he stayed quiet.) Bill is the REAL threat from their perspective, so everyone focuses on him...

...it's all about misdirection...

Why Mable...? To put it simply, her tendency to be the character who helps the villains more then the heroes has not gone unnoticed. They admit that this was more of a 'batman gambit' then anything... they truthfully hadn't expected much of it. They believed that at best she'd cause trouble to protect her 'precious' Grunkle Stan and distract the heroes for a couple more hours so they could be ready to fight them.

But this? This was BEYOND their wildest hopes and dreams!

See although they still defeat Bill, but not before Bill uses the last of his power to banish the heroes who weren't in Stan's mind to the Collective Unconsciousness (this is a mental realm from Psychonauts that binds all minds together). More precisely, a special section of the mental consciousness that Lobotto had just created thanks to the collective mental energy of their new army of freshly converted Psi-tanks. Thanks to all the campers that were taken from Camp Lakebottom. They were hoping for just their minds being trap but thanks to Mabel, they're there for real.

Again, this had been considered a long-shot. They had expected the tanks to mostly be used for actual combat, and the Collective Unconscious trap had largely considered a side-note. The best case scenario had been that they'd capture a small group of heroes sent to secure Stan's mind.

NEVER, in their wildest dreams did they believe they'd capture not only all the heroes but all the local leaders and officials as well!

The sudden disappearance of so many leaders, heroes, police, and civil servants at once while the red alert was still up had effectively thrown those nations into panic! Completely rendering any potential resistance to them completely useless! They'd taken over Gravity falls, key installations and utilities, cut all communication with the outside world in record time!

The two of them gloatingly thank Mable for making it all possible. Grindelwald didn't usually indulge in gloating, but things had worked out so well and in such a cruelly ironic way, he couldn't resist! Bill being defeated and temporarily out of commission was a setback.... but they had planned for such a possibility as well...

"Kids go back beating Mabel," Lilith said.

"What?" Mabel ask before she was again tackled and beaten by the demon kids, again.

"Ok the others are now trap in the mind thing and we're on our own," Dipper said.

"Well there is still Sunset," Wendy said.

"And I still need time to recover my strength," Sunset said from the door going into the museum. "That spell I used on Bill took alot out of me. Dipper you got anything to eat? Or have some energy drinks?"

"I have something to help," Dipper said running to help Sunset recover. Using his Pip-Boy he brought out some bottles of drinkable EVE Hypos that he gotten. Those who still had powers found that taking EVE Hypos restored their energy in using them. As it's either that or eating a big meal. (5)

"So what do we do?" Luz ask.

"Wait for the reinforcements. Not all the heroes showed up you know," Sunset said taking a drink of EVE Hypos.

Around Gravity Falls -

Once the word got out what was happening at Gravity Falls and a bunch of heroes disappearing and all contact was cut off. A call went out for the other heroes to help out. Sunset having learned about Bill spread the news about him and what he can do along with Slenderman.

From New York City, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came with the Mighty Mutanimals.

The Justice Friends made up of the greatest heroes of the Powerpuff Girls world. Major Glory, Valhallen, The Infraggable Krunk, Miss Spell, Phan Tone, Capital G, Sam-R-I, Tiki Torch, Living Bullet, White Tiger and more.

Global Security the Powerpuff girl's world defense organization entrusted with the safety and well being of the planet. With agent Honeydew using her telepathic abilities to call Monkey the super powered monkey.

Robot Boy hearing what happen flew off the island of Albonquentine. He was joined by the super imaginary friend siblings Imaginary Man and Nemesister.

Hearing the news of what happen to her little sisters XJ-10 flew off to save them.

Professor Membrane hearing what happen in Gravity Falls brought out his anti-Santa giant war robot to help. With Gaz at the controls.

From Duckburg came Gizmoduck and Darkwing Duck.

Gravity Falls -

Killbane hears the news of heroes showing up through an earbud. "Looks like more guests have arrived."

"Not quite the cakewalk you hoped? And just because you caught the townspeople off guard, don't count them out yet... you may have won today... but we'll fight you no matter what!" Luz shouted from the Owl House.

Killbane smirks at that. "Ever hear, 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch?'"

Eda quirks an eyebrow. "You got a bunch of pissed off heroes heading your way, and your covering way more territory that you can ever hope to police... how you gonna manage all that?"

Killbane just keeps smiling as he begins to step aside and reveal a VERY familiar figure. "Why I'll use the PLOT DEVICE of course!"

"...forgive me...," Plot Device said under control of Killbane.

All across Gravity falls, M.C.D. soldiers got the signal and pull the camouflage off their organizations newest 'product'.

Zalost towers (Courage the cowardly dog) that unlike the bigger and mobile tower of the mad doctor. Fires energy balls instead of cannon balls but still has the same effect as the old ones. Causing everyone who is hit to fall into crippling depression.

Soon the reinforcements and almost ALL of Gravity Falls and the surrounding nations have been hit by dark energy balls. Making them fall into crippling depression and unwilling to do anything, let alone fight back. The only ones safe were the ones inside buildings and now near a window.

Thanks to the Plot Device, all the reinforcements protections and contingency plans fizzled out and they got hit, too depressed to fight back... they were all almost immediately captured. Although robots are unaffected. Robots like Robot Boy got a email from their friend Plot Device and eagerly opened it... exposing them to the shut-down virus that was put inside. The only one who wasn't infected was XJ-10 who wasn't a friend to Plot Device. And Gaz who is inside the giant anti-Santa robot which is shielded from the attacks.

Equestria was the only nation that kept any sense of order thanks to Alchor taking command of the robot soldiers and other robots around the city keeping the damage low. At the Maw people around it ran inside once the dark energy balls began raining down on them. Lumpy Space Princess scream as one of the dark energy balls hit her but to her surprise she wasn't turn dull color and sad like everyone else. At the Beaver dam a forcefield went up as soon as the dark energy balls began raining down.

Killbane mockingly thanks Blubs for being a dumbass and password protecting Plot Device with an idiotic '12345' password. He also admits that long term, having a suicidal depressed population was never good for any rule long-term... but then again, he and his buds weren't planning to stay long, as it didn't matter. And as for the foreign dictators who they sold this to as the perfect weapon against 'revolutionary populations'... well... 'buyer beware'... He said that last part with a mocking chuckle.

With nothing left to do, Eda activated the emergency teleportation spell. Sending the Owl House deep in the woods.

"Well that went better then I hoped... but in all seriousness, what are you going to do now? Your plan involved Bill.... and he's out of commission. Need I remind you we only have a short window before the barrier recalibrates and Discord and Thor's god hero group mess us up if we don't skedaddle before then?" Killbane said to Gridnewald.

Gridnewald take a package from his satchel.

"Fear not my friend," he said as he gives the package a tap with his wand. "Once again I'm one step ahead."

The package begins to glow.

Far above the earth... The Man in the Moon feels a great dread descend on him...

Las Vegas -

The remains of the giant mecha suit known as the Colossus was at first was kept at an army base. That was till Mr. House managed to make a deal with the army to have the remains transported to his factory. From there he used the remains to restart his old project Liberty Prime. For the past year Mr. House has been taking knowledge and technology from all the different worlds to fix the many issues that he had with Liberty Prime, namely the power source. Both Dr. Wakeman and Professor Membrane help in building Liberty Prime.

Knowing that this world has magic, Mr. House took steps to make sure that a magic user wouldn't be able to just cast a spell on Liberty Prime. Mr. House hired some smiting gods to help in making the metal that made up Prime's body to be anti-magic. He managed to get Gu the Fon god of tools, workshops, and smiths and Onile the Yoruba goddess of blacksmiths to make the metal be anti-magic. By adding many different anti-magic metals found in different worlds in the alloy that made up Prime's body. And thanks to Professor Membrane any magic or energy attack used on Prime would be absorb and the energy be used to help power him instead.

The end results is the now 108 meters tall, to be able to fight Godzilla size monsters. The spirit cannon was remodeled and remade to be a giant energy cannon, to replace the old backpack full of atom bombs. Prime is now able to fly and move faster then it's old smaller model was. There is also all the transformation's that he's able to due thanks to Dr. Wakeman. With Professor Membrane making sure all the systems that's needed to operate the giant robot is working. The main computer brain operating Prime is still the same, upgraded but still used the same old stuff that unlike the more advance systems can't be remotely hack or reprogram. And inside the massive robot is an army of Mr. Handy's and Operators who repair the body of any damage and also act as defenders against anyone who managed to get inside. They even used the FAS-BOR7 Horus or Metal Devil auto repair system to help repair any damage to Prime.

With what happen in Gravity Falls and all the heroes taken out. It was time to show the US government what the billions of dollars that had invested produced. Mr. House watch as Liberty Prime was fueled up and it's weapon ammo stock filled up. For safety reason Liberty Prime was never fully equip to operate or has the weapons armed or loaded. There was many tests they had to do and having a still in test robot armed with loaded weapons was just a dumb thing to do.

Elsewhere -

The Brain Tank that was chasing the Lincoln and the other kids who escape from the camp, was suddenly bombed. The kids turn back to see a woman dress in tribal looking clothes that Lincoln remembers seeing from those people who came from the world where the machine animals came from. She's firing bombs using a slingshot, aiming for the weak points on the tank. Hitting the treads of the tank stopping it in it's tracks. Followed by another on the dome holding the vat grown brain inside, destroying it.

"You're Alloy," Dib said reconzing her.

"Yes and you kids are lucky I was here," Alloy said.

"There's another," Ronnie shouted as another Brain Tank appear.

A missile struck the tank destroying it in one hit. XJ-10 came flying down from the tree line.

"XJ-10 what happen?" Dib ask.

"Some villains have used the barrier around Gravity Falls to cut it off. Something happen to my sister's and I came along with other heroes. The group responsible for this mess used the unhappy cannonballs created by a Dr. Zalost that makes anyone hit by them depress and the other robot heroes have been hit by a computer virus. I'm the only hero left besides Gaz in that giant robot and the gods are being stop by the barrier," XJ-10 said.

"Where's Gaz?" Dib ask.

XJ-10 brought up a screem from her chest showing the group Gaz in the giant robots fighting the villains who had taken over. Gaz was defending, Peach Creek as the invaders try to take it over. The group could see that she's pin down as Gaz used the robot's forcefield to keep the people safe as they ran into the school where she's making her stand, shooting down any incoming missiles and rockets. Keeping them safe as they carried the people who were hit by the dark balls of energy. And giving the police of Peach Creek covering fire as they fended off incoming Luchadores.

"She's too busy to help," XJ-10 said.

"How did this happen?" Dib ask.

"Mabel," XJ-10 said with everyone who knows her grumbling about it always being her.

"There aren't any heroes left?" Lincoln ask.

"Only team Z," XJ-10 said.

"Team Z I didn't know there's a team of heroes calling them Team Z," Lincoln said.

"That's not their team name. It's the name of the plan when all the other heroes aren't around for one reason or another. They're the last team to call upon," XJ-10 said.

"Sam and Max?" Lincoln ask.

"We're not at that desperate yet," XJ-10 said. (6)

"So who are the heroes?" Ronnie ask.

"Underfist," XJ-10 said.

Canterlot -

Shining armor sighed as he watched his son Fury Heart and Unico play together. Alchor abruptly left without explanation. And the sirens just seemed to get louder and louder.

No one contacted him... not that that was much of a surprise. He was basically irrelevant now. His sister hated him... his fiancee hated him. Everyone else only barely tolerated him simply because they had more important things to do then acknowledge his existence.

For umpteenth time Shining wondered if he could've done something... anything different...

Yes, it would've been easy to blame it all on mind-control. But he hadn't noticed that the supposed 'love of his life' had been a imposter. There were so many signs it had been obvious. But Shining had just brushed them off as 'wedding jitters' and just went along with it.

He could've also NOT agreed to have the wedding during a possible invasion. But no, he'd waited too long to be one with the mare he loved. And he'd refused to wait any longer... and his country paid the price...

He could've NOT agreed to Celestia's defense 'strategy'. I mean really? ONE shield, ONE shield to keep everyone safe. ALL of it powered by one pony, a pony who's duties were stretched enough as it is between marriage preparation and his duties as captain of the guards! No back-ups, contingency plans, no special maneuvers, no war plans, no drills... just the ONE shield...

Even more annoying, it was learned that Celestia deliberately allowed all this as a TEST for Twilight, so she could 'prove' she was a leader and could stand on her own hooves even when everyone was against her! Sadly... she had underestimated the power Chrysalis gained from Shining's love. And was promptly defeated when her kingdom needed her the most. And it was only thanks to Sunset stepping up and getting the human police to help that the Chrysalis was defeated.

Shining sighed, who was he kidding? It would be easy to blame everyone else... but he'd played his fair share in the cock up...

He wasn't even Captain of the guard anymore. Not since the rest of the guard had been more or less disbanded after the 'paper dragon' fiasco. Now he’s just one of the few pony guards that are left in the castle. Which was more for show as the real guards are the non human guards and robots.

He turned to the window and looked out wishfully... if only... if only they would just give him a chance to redeem himself...

That was the last thought he had before Canterlot castle was blown to bits...

"All your bases now belong to us." says a smirking Luchadore watching the carnage.

1 - One of the dumb things I can't stand is how old and ancient weapons are better then newer ones and made from stronger metals. As no matter how good a sword made out of copper is, it's still made out of copper.

2 - Excalibur can kill Slenderman and Bill with no trouble at all. The problem is that, who can actually stand being around him long enough to use him.

3 - With how many animes and mangas have abuse on men and double standards being the standard. It's hard to think of a western show that follows the same rule and know it off of hand and not looking it up.

Also with all the bashing on Mabel done in this fic would there be the same response if it was Dipper? Not to mention she never said sorry for her actions in the show and the comic doesn't count.

4 - It would be hard to find clothes when you have wings on your back.

5- The ones who still have powers after they use up their energy have to eat alot to restore their energy level. Like in Slayers where Lina is a big eater because of how much magic she throws around.

6 - Seeing how much damage Sam and Max do in their games and in their cartoon. They're the last resort.
