"Kids! Get on the roof!" Stan shouted as he punched a zombie's head off using brass knuckles. Around him a horde of zombie closed on in.
Dipper thanks to his training that he's been doing quickly climb up onto the roof and pulled out a blaster from his Pip-boy. He gave Stan covering fire as he retreated to where Mabel is lifting up a ladder and leans it onto the side of the shack. Stan covered her as she climbed up, knocking the zombies away before climbing up as well. Dipper kept blasting the heads off of the zombies slowing them down but unlike in the movies. The zombies just kept on coming, no matter how many pieces they're in.
Watching all of this is Terrible Trivium who the zombies are paying no attention to, since he's not a living being. Thanks to Mabel once again, playing her part as the idiot who causes problems that puts everyone around her in danger. Behind him are the other heroes who are fighting their way through the zombies.
"So how do you like the zombies?" Terrible Trivium called out.
"Why aren't they dying?" Dipper ask trying to blast their heads but only knock their heads off.
"They're magical not the dead. So completely different rules," Terrible Trivium said as he noticed the mailbox has been knock over. He waves his hand and the letters came flying to his hand. And he began looking through the letters, dropping letters that he didn't find interesting.
"Hey hands off!" Stan shouted as he kicks a zombie off the roof as they piled on top of each other trying to get the 3 flesh bags on the roof.
"Oh, what do we have here," Terrible Trivium said as he finds a letter and opens it. "Now isn't this interesting. Oh Stan when were you going to tell the kids about this?"
"Don't read it!" Stan shouted realizing what the letter Terrible Trivium has in his hand is.
"How can this be my life?" Mabel said as she hides in her sweater. Wondering how could this day had turned into this.

Earlier Gravity Falls -
The Owl Shack having been built using the two remains of both the Mystery Shack and the Owl House. And the deed for the shack is now somewhere that only Eda and Stan knows. Which Dipper figures is someone in the museum rooms, which is the subspace rooms that Eda created for her museum. Which survived the destruction of the old house thanks to it being a magical room. Which meant all the exhibits that Eda had setup were all still intact, unlike the exhibits for the shack which were all stolen, and the animals in the back gone. So now Stan is rebuilding his exhibits and waiting for any of his stuff that the government recovered.
Eda's been working on the defenses of the shack, even working on a new guardian like Hooty. Eda went and place one defense spell after another on the shack, to prevent what happen to Hooty from happening again. Eda has also been getting help from her sister Lilith who was made to be the ambassador of the Boiling Isles and living at the embassy in Canterlot. She’s even thinking of putting some auto guns on the house but that would need tons of red tape, to be able to have auto guns be setup. The does have a new Mr. Handy as they didn’t know what happen to the destroyed one and a protectron to help around the shack.
King has taken to riding on the back of Frank the two headed dog around the shack. Training Frank to be his mighty steed, if only Frank wouldn't just lay down and roll onto his side sending King falling. Besides that King has been trying to get one of the demons to restore him back to his full power.
Stan has been also been restocking on all the stuff that was taken stocking up on supplies. From medical, food, water, even weapons just incase they're needed, then there are some strange things. Like in one of the rooms is filled with canisters of blaze that Stan said they might need later. And thanks to the MCD forces using the army canteen that never runs out of water and the bottle of cough syrup that never runs dry, both of them were quickly recovered and now Stan is keep them them lock up. Stan is still selling Mystery water and cough syrup in the gift shop.
As for Mabel she’s been spending much of her time in her room. Dipper doesn’t talk to her anymore or anyone else besides Stan, Eda and Luz. She can’t leave the shack without being attack by people blaming her for what happen. She can’t even go out around the shack when it’s open to the public. She kept being mobbed and beaten, to the point that Wendy is making necklaces made out of the teeth that been punched out of her mouth and selling them. Not helping her case was that she refuses to take responsibility for her actions and that everything that happen wasn’t her fault. The only thing that keeps her going is that once she’s back home her mom and dad will make things better.
Mabel has tried to do stuff with Dipper but he just keeps on handcuffing her to something keeping her from messing around. Mabel did cheer up when Stan told her he's planning on having a family day with only them as a family. Stan was uneasy and all that but Mabel didn't see it as she only cared that she'll be with her brother. Not only that but there is a cartoon show she's been hearing about online but couldn't find it on any of the channels.

Camp Lakebottom -
The camp reopen after all the repairs were done and was cleaned up. Of course the camp is now emptier thanks to angry parents taking their kids out, not to mention the lawsuits. Which caused the firing of Psychonauts, Sasha and Milla as they didn’t inform the camp about the issue with Oleander. Going into episodes where he’s a villain, which caused him to help with the takeover of Gravity Falls and putting the campers in danger. Seeing the campers all being kids were captured by the villains. Razputin Aquato and Lili Zanotto are the only ones left on the camp. Since they’re kids and the adults didn’t tell them about Oleander either.
Both Sasha and Milla are trying to get new jobs but with them messing up with the camp and endangering children. Few people wanted to give them an interview. Right now they’re talking with the SCP to work for them, while they live in the tent that was owned by the boy that no one cares enough to remember his name.
People around Gravity Falls have taken up wearing anti-magic items ranging from rings to all kinds of jewelry. Made by the H.A.M. Company, or Humans Against Magic, which using technology from the Hunts Clan created anti-magic jewelry that prevents any spell from working on the person wearing them.
But the camp did get some new campers. A trio of sisters the Dazzlings who are sirens and a girl name Shreeky, there are also the Edds and some of the kids of their destroyed town. Who were placed in the camp while their parents are working in finding new homes and jobs. The Dazzling sisters and Shreeky already made themselves known as bullies, but they’re putting all of their energy in bullying Mabel, so no one cares. They been playing pranks on Mabel like sending her food that is covered in fire brand hot sauce that is made for demons who are either fire breathers or made out of fire, or able to swim around in lava, to give them a spicy meal. Needless to say Mabel has been falling for the trick so much that Eda had to resort setting up a water cooler that serves a milk base potion that cures the burning effect of spicy foods. They also grabbed her and dress her up as a big baby with her having pictures of her wearing a big diaper.
There are also 3 strange kids who also came to the camp. Kipo a purple girl who can transform into a purple jagar. Wolf a kid who wears a blue wolf pelt all the time. And Benson who is the normal one of the group. The three seem to know how to survive very well both in the woods and in urban envoriments.
Speaking of which the parents of the Peach Creek kids finally had to spend time with their children, instead of never being around and only being home in the early morning or late at night. Which the parents as well as other adults had no idea how to interact with children.

Elsewhere in the Camp -
Dumbledore thanks to a lift from the ships fleeing England and catching a train managed to get back to Gravity Falls. He was helped by the pets and other animals that have been following him from Camden. They got the other animals who they could talk to to help get them to get to where the pet was going.
Dumbledore went to the camp to talk to Harry and Mesa the tree woman is reluctant given what happen last time. But Dumbledore explains how he only has a year at most before he's bedridden at beat, dead at worst showing Mesa a doctor’s note that proves it. And before he 'leaves on his next great adventure' he wants to clear the air with Harry. Mesa although still reluctant says she'll ask Harry what he wants to do, and if he says no, he'll have to leave. Harry reluctantly comes, if for no reason then to make sure he's dead soon and not bothering him anymore... although he'd be lying if deep down... he also wanted closure... (for better or for worse, the man played a large part in his life...)
Dumbedlore proceeds by surprising Harry... telling him he was right about everything... and their was NOTHING worth saving of his old world (Dumbledore thinks that the destruction of London was INTENTIONAL on his former followers part, he doesn't realize they’re dead... and he has no intention to find them they’re (metaphorically) dead to him far as he's concerned). Since he having no experience with Muggle technology/media, wouldn't be informed of the contrary... and Harry isn't feeling generous enough to correct him.
“I know that my apology is hollow at this point. So I’m seeking to try to make things right however I can,” Dumbledore said.
Dumbledore shows Harry the sack of magical treasures that have their magic restored to them, that he found at the ruins of London. Which the animals that have been following him were the ones who had gathered them. Then he brings out a vial...
As you know; After the Merge I traveled and researched to find where the magic went...,” Dumbledore said.
Harry sharply interrupts. “Which you did instead of using your authority and political clout to keep the wizarding world from collapsing into anarchy and heading off the baby massacre... despite my constant warnings?”
Dumbeldore gave out a weary sigh. “Yes... At the very edge of our 'world' (where their part of the world was merged with the other worlds). He found a small sample of magic... that was caught between the two worlds... somehow manged to not die out... sadly... there was only enough to allow a person one spell.”
Harry glared at his former mentor. “That's it? That's why you were too busy to keep the riots and baby murder from happening? Just for a one use magic spell?”
“Harry, I realize now that even if I had found a substantial amount of magic... it would have in no way been worth it... You are right, I should've stopped trying to cling to the old world... and tried to adapt to the new... but I did not... And London paid the price... this world is new... everything on it is new... there's no place for a senile, old codger stuck in the past... I realize that now...,” Dumbledore said.
“What are you talking about?” Harry asked.
Dumbedlore says nothing... simply drinks the vial...
"For the fruit to bloom... the flower must die... Goodbye Harry. For what it's worth, I wish you a long and happy life,” Dumbledore said.
“A blood spell with you using your life to fuel it,” Harry said realizing what he’s going to do. Many emotions flowed through Harry but one emotion remained the same. “Won’t be anywhere near making up for what you did.”
Dumbledore lets out a loud incantation... and just like that... he dissolves to dust... in his clothes... a philosopher stone. The secret ingredient to creating the stone is a willing human sacrifice... a person must terminate in their place in the circle of life, give up any chance of fortune they could have. So someone else will have the means to lengthen their part of the circle of life, so they have a better chance of increasing THEIR fortunes.
The pets loudly mourn for the loss of the old man who'd been kind to them.
“Hey, it's going to be alright...,” Harry said picking up the stone.
“No it won't! Everything is falling apart and-,” Dolly was sobbing but realizes a human talked to her. “Wait, you understand me?”
“Let me guess...:cut off from the rest of the world for whatever reason and don't know what's been happening the past year or why you’re being heard at all?” Harry asked.
“Uh... yeah?” Dylan said.
“Alright, everyone inside! We have an orientation film for just this sort of thing! Come on!” Harry said and all the pets follow him to a cabin.
Which was followed by the news that there are puppies in the camp and the kids are all soon playing with them pups and other animals.

Trolberg a walled Scandinavian city -
Hilda and her friend Frida had another amazing adventure as they helped the Librarian who's name is Kasia get a late book, from her old teacher Matilda Pilqvist. They also discovered the reason why the witches of the witch tower hidden beneath the library, are still able to use magic. They're using borrowed magic from Seshat the Egyptian goddess of wisdom, knowledge, and writing, who is the head god of the gods of libraries. With the god in charge of the witch tower library being Radigast the Slavic god of sound advice and though. He’s easily recognizable he carries a two-headed axe, has a bull’s head on his chest and wears a flying swan on his head. They can only hope he’s doing it for a bet.
“So all the witches here use borrowed magic?” Hilda ask Kasia.
"Of course," Radigast said. "The witches here use the magic that me and the other gods of our group lean them."
"It also means that we have to follow the rules that the gods give us if we want to keep our magic," Matilda Pilqvist or Tilly as many call her adds.
"So no throwing people into the void or you all lose your magic," Radigast said to the 3 head witches.
"Yes sir," the middle witch said.
"So what do witches here do?" Frida ask, since the merge the witches and other magic users have been viewed in a bad light especially since what happen in England.
"They been giving aide to the government here when it comes to magic and helping when it comes to magic matters. Some good PR helps to get people not to see that witches around here aren't like the ones in England," Radigast said. "In fact you showed the makings of a fine witch."
"Me?" Frida ask.
"Yes dear you kept your head while in the maze and your friend Hilda makes the prefect familiar," Tilly said.
"Oh that's good," Hilda said.
"So what do I do to join?" Frida ask.
"Here kid," Radigast said making a spelldrive appear in his hands. Which is one of the newer models that's the size of a large Iphone.
"Cool, I always wanted a spelldrive," Frida said.
"But where's the wand?" Hilda ask.
"It's the pen," Kasia said, showing her own spelldrive and pulling out the small pen attachment which acts like a wand as well as to write with.
"Or you can just go with the old fashion wands," Radigast said pointing to how the older witches used wands.
"No thanks," Frida said looking through the spells on the spelldrive. "So this is it? No like going to magic school?"
"No... not anymore," the witch on the right said of the 3 head witches.
"Next year there is going to be a magic class at the school where students using spelldrives can learn to safely use them," the witch on the right said.
"But don't you just point and click to use a spell?" Hilda ask.
"Yes but that's a new model you're using that allows you to use spells by chanting the words of the spell. Of course you still have a limited supply of energy before you used it all up. The class is to give students who want to use magic better understanding how to use it as well as knowledge of the different races and creatures," Kasia explains.
"The magic users around here need to get themselves out and show that they're not like the ones in England. And instead of just hording everything instead of helping others around them," Radigast said.
"Wait," Hilda said remembering how some of the witches she saw were dress as utility workers. "I been seeing utility workers using spelldrives to fix up things around the city."
"That's us," the middle witch said. "As part as the agreement with the government we witches use our magic to help around. Mostly as a cost cutting utility service."
"It's a paycheck," Tilly said having been called up to help.
"We get paid?" Frida ask.
"Yes it's a government job and we get paid using our magic in fixing things or enhancing something," Kasia said. "Mostly we been called to help find thing using a find it spell."
"Well that's useful," Hilda said.
"And its a job," Frida said.

The Maw -
Since the invasion the Maw has been busy in construction, reinforcing the metal shell and supports, repairing the broken parts, reconnecting wires among other things. An army of operators and Mr. Handy's are working around the clock in restoring the Maw. They're replacing and putting in lights so that there wouldn't be any dark areas that had been made livable. They also been draining the Maw of water that even after so long there are still areas that are flooded. Many of the pipes that cover the inside of the Maw like spiderwebs needed to be replace and fix, a project that was started when people first started to move into the Maw and still on going.
There are also workers from the many races that make their home working in fixing up the Maw. Seeing how the Maw is a self contain city onto itself some of the workers are being paid with vouchers that they can use in stores, vending machines, or the new pay fabricators. Which work like vending machines with the fabricators making just about anything once the right amount of money is paid.
The Maw still has many rooms that hadn't been open yet and many rooms that still are full of junk. Many Material Recyclers are working overtime in breaking down the piles of clothes, shoes and other refuses that have built up in the Maw. The organic cubes are being used in the many furnaces as the cubes burns good and long. The furnaces provide both power and heat for the Maw as well as supplying power to the surrounding area for a price that is. With Simon Petrikov making deals with the power companies to be paid for the power that the Maw gives to the power grid.

Talos 2 -
Wisteria Wakeman the sister of Nora Wakeman and aunt to the XJ sisters, was busy looking over the shipments heading for Earth. While the XJ sisters play hero being called to places that called for help, as part of a UN group and paid for their services. The space station that serves as their home still needed more funding to keep it working and getting the things they need.
So Wisteria made a side business in selling the produce that the station produces. She has one of the girls take a cargo container down to Earth where it ends up at an Amazon wellness center. And the food produce are selling well.
The engineered Siskak Eels which helps clean the waste from the toilets and later used as food. After the new fabricators were installed from that ship that came from the ocean planet Subnautica, which removes all the bones and harmful things from the eels. Allowing them to be eaten whole and already has a market for the eels.
Then there are the engineered plants that are all been engineered to thrive in conditions aboard Talos I. The Jamon Tomato a tomato engineered to taste like Iberian cured ham. Methuselah Apple a shiny and crisp red apple, Moonshade Lemon a bright yellow lemon, Skyking Pomegranate a blue pomegranate, and Sunburst Banana a pristine specimen engineered to never develops unsightly brown spots.
All making lots of money after getting the ok from the FDA. She’s still waiting approval to be able to sell the alien plants also coming from the Subnautica. The marblemelon, Chinese potato, and the glowing bioluminescence Lantern fruits from the Lantern Tree. All still being tested before the ok is given to take them to the market.

Paris, France -
Chloe Bourgeois formerly the superhero Queen Bee, before her kwami Pollen was taken from her. When the other heroes left to help in America, the villains made their move. All she remembers is hiding with her friend Sabrina Raincomprix while a villain was rampaging through the city, while Ladybug and the others were gone. She did had her spelldrive with low level defense spells and taser spells that are the only legal spells she was able to have. She was using shield spells to protect others but it only got the villain attention on her. She had used a taser spell on the villain but it did nothing to him and he responded by tossing a car at them. She shoved Sabrina out of the way as the car landed hitting her. She remembers seeing Sabrina trying to protect her from the villain who had grabbed her and tore her in half. Chloe used a cut spell that only works on no living objects, on power lines that landed right on the villain who was being splashed by a broken fire hydrant. The power surge killed the villain, and before she lost lost her strength she cast one last spell on Sabrina, putting her in a status field to keep her alive.
Chloe thought that she would die but she later woke up in a hospital. Now she’s bound to a wheelchair, her legs so badly mangled that they had to be cut off. As well as her arms and her left eye, with her being impaled in 7 different places. With her womb being so badly damaged that she'll never have children. Thanks to the new advance medical equipment her life was saved, but she’s left crippled. Right now she’s dependent on her Mr. Handy to care for her and wheel her around. She needs to wait and heal before any replacement limbs can be installed to replace what she lost.
“Chloe?” Ladybug ask as she climbs into her room from a open window.
“What do you want?” Chloe ask.
“I came to talk to you about giving you back Pollen,” Ladybug said holding out the hair comb that held the bee kwami.
“Oh I thought I wasn’t suited to have a kwami. Even if Hawkmoth is now on your side. If I had it I could had fought off the villain,” Chloe said.
"You proved me wrong," Ladybug said feeling guilt of taking Pollen from Chloe and leaving no one to fight the villain.
"And how am, I suppose to be a hero when, I'm like this? The doctors said that it will take me months to heal to the point where, I'll be able to have robotic replacements. I know that I'm a self centered, spoiled brat, but I wanted to fight as a hero," Chloe said.
"You can be when you're healed. It be nice to have a cyborg on the team," Ladybug said.
"Pass," Chloe said shocking Ladybug.
"Chloe, I talk with the others and all of them agreed that you more than earn...," Ladybug was saying.
"Stop right there. I don't want to hear it from you. You're the reason why, I'm like this. And I'm not going to be here as I'm heading for Gravity Falls," Chloe said.
"What?" Ladybug ask.
"I'm going there to be magical healed and that villain Crow is going to outfit me with robotic parts from his world," Chloe said.
"The villain Crow?" Ladybug ask.
"Yes him. I contacted him and talk with him about replacing my missing parts with robotics from his world. In exchange I'm going to be working for him as a minion," Chloe said.
"You're going to be working as a minion for a villain?" Ladybug asked.
"Ms Rockler said it's more as being the manager for the branch office here. With some help from my parents, there's going to be a branch office of his company, Nefarious Corps. Mostly just a warehouse depot and a small factory, mostly, I'll be handling the orders for Europe," Chloe said.
"Wait you're going to be a manager? But you're too young," Ladybug said.
"So is Sunset being the ruler of Equestria. Who while, I'm in Gravity Falls. I'm going to ask if I can follow her around and learn from her," Chloe said.
"What?" Ladybug ask.
"You all see me as the villain. So I'm going to be the token evil teammate just like Sunset. Besides, I'm the one with a body count now," Chloe said.
"The evil teammate?" Ladybug ask her eyes wide.
"I'm going to be like Sunset. She's a greater hero then you'll ever be. I'll save the city my way, even if I have to drag you and the others kicking and screaming to do it," Chloe said.
"Chloe please you don't have to do that," Ladybug said.
"I wanted to be a hero but you all just saw me as a villain. So I'm going to be one just like you all saw me as," Chloe said.
"I was wrong, you can be a hero," Ladybug said holding out the comb to Chloe.
"I rather be the villain," Chloe answers.
A portal open up in the room revealing Becky and Kronika who had open the portal step into the room.
"So you're the superhero Ladybug. We really didn't had time to talk last time," Becky said.
"It's time?" Chloe ask.
"Yes it's all ready," Becky said.
"You're going to turn her into a cyborg?" Ladybug asked.
"We already did it with her friend Sabrina," Becky said.
"Sabrina?" Ladybug ask.
"Yes, I was saved thanks to the advance technology," Sabrina said as she came through the portal. Ladybug's eyes widen as she saw Sabrina as only a head in a jar on top of a robobrain's body. Ladybug had studied up on the robots that Robco is making and she remembered what she read on the robobrain.
The Robobrain's chassis is a large, bulky cylinder with two continuous tracks providing mobility, powered by dual 40 horsepower motors), attached via a flexible or fixed mount. The torso is heavily armored, containing the internal power plant, sensors, and storage. The central processing unit, the brain, is located in a dome mounted on top of the chassis. A pair of flexible extenders emerge from the sides of the torso, with manipulators that boast opposable claws. Together with very precise servomotors and rotator mechanisms, they enable the robot to manipulate its surroundings with extreme precision, including the operation of human weapons (typically assault rifles or submachine guns) and devices designed for human hands. The chassis also contains robust monitoring systems.
The dome containing the brain is filled with biomedical gel to preserve the brain, with armored glass providing plenty of protection. However, it can still be damaged, disrupting the brain/machine connection, activity within the brain, or cause depressurization and leaking of the contents, all of which are serious problems without qualified maintenance personnel. If the proper seal is maintained, the brain contained within can be expected to last for centuries. The main chassis is very sturdy, with armor plating installed to protect the hydraulics, relays, and other crucial instrumentation (such as the auto gyro sequencer, hydraulics, restrictor coils, relays etc.). The primary power supply was also contained within the shell, alongside reserve power systems that would engage in case of fluctuation in the main power supply. More advanced Robobrains were capable of self-repairing to full condition, if given enough time. The hull also contains sensors which provide the robot with high resolution imagery of their surroundings. These are quite complex and include imaging scanners, backup infrared sensors, and auto-tracking functionality. Robobrains can also lock-on targets for increased accuracy.
Finally, to simplify communications with controllers, Robobrains were outfitted with audio receptors and voice modules, allowing it to receive, interpret, and mimic any normal human voice. But instead of a brain it's Sabrina's head in the brain dome.
"With my body rip into pieces, this was the only way to save my life. Chloe made some calls and got me to go under the robobrain operation, like others have done," Sabrina explains.
Once it became known that you could go under an operation to become a robobrain and extend your life. Many people with the money and those who could raise it, became robobrains. Not only to extend their lives but if like they had cancer and becoming a robobrain was the only way to live.
"Working under Crow, I can upgrade both mine and Sabrina's bodies. I'm going for being a cyborg and Sabrina is going for an experimental brain transplant into a new body," Chloe said.
"As long as you both show that our investment wasn't wasted," Becky reminded them.
"I intend to show both of you that this investment was worth it," Chloe said as Sabrina wheeled Chloe through the portal.
"Is this really ok?" Ladybug ask.
"Both of their parents already gave the ok and signed the papers. See you around hero," Becky said going into the portal followed by Kronika who closed it behind her.

Ghost Zone -
Pariah Dark stares at the viewing screen that Sidney Poindexter brought up for him, who works as his computer expert. The war with Soul Society is still on going with neither side gaining ground. It is thanks to the mortals that they learned about the plan with those legless giants against them, and was able to counter that attack. And with the return of his crown he was at full power now. But they're still at a stalemate.
"Technus have you made any progress," Pariah said to his head scientist.
"Yes, I have made it so that the ghost traps won't work on us anymore just those shinigamis," Technus said.
"Good now those shinigamis won't be able to use those traps on my forces anymore," Pariah said.
"Sir there's a call from Skulker," Poindexter spoke up.
"Put him on," Pariah said.
The screen change to that of the best hunter of the ghost zone.
"This better be good," Pariah said as he doesn't like his time wasted, especially when he's talking with one of his competent minions.
"I have captured one of those captains," Skulker said showing Rukia Kuchiki chuffed by two of Walker's guards. After he released her from the ghost trap she found herself in the ghost zone where he powers didn't work anymore and was easily chuffed by the guards of the prison she found herself in.
"This is good news," Pariah said, he learn early on that while the army of the Soul Society is vast. It's the captains and lieutenants who do most of the fighting during the raids they launch.
"Caught her trying to recruit the human hybrid in Japan and ambushed her after she step back into Soul Society," Skulker said.
"You will be well rewarded for this. You didn't cause a scene in Japan capturing her did you?" Pariah ask.
"Don't worry when her mortal friends tried to stop Skulker. I just started to rock out causing a crowd to form between them and stopping them from reaching the portal before it closed," Ember McLain said who has been playing in Japan as she's a big star over there. "Which is why, we're splitting the reward."
"Agreed," Skulker said as he had enough trouble making it back to the ghost zone after he captured the captain.
"Good, I better things to do than having to deal with the mortal leaders about having this war spill out to the mortal world," Pariah said having made a deal with the mortal leaders of not having the war spreading to the mortal world, in exchange for things that he needed to fight the war.
Pariah actually likes having this war as before after he had conquered the ghost zone there was little for him to do. But now with this war where the enemy forces only able to use their powers in their afterlife that made it easy to fight them. But also made attacking them in their realm hard because of that fact. He actually has something to do in and the ghosts of his realm are actually looking to him for his leadership. Many other afterlife realms are coming to him for help in fighting off the army of Soul Society with their leaders bending the knee to him for his protection. He has been listening to his minions in lightening up his image from a tyrant to harsh but fair ruler. Which with each passing day he's starting to think more and more as the way to rule, so that what happen before wouldn't happen to him again.
“Hey boss,” Valerie Gray said as she rides in on her flying board.
Because she was fighting with Ladybug, her power to undo the damage and deaths during a battle still worked. But due to her being so far away, it only worked partly. To save her life Danny took Valerie to the ghost zone and Pariah fully restored her to life, as a half ghost like Danny. And to repay her debt Valerie is now one of his knights.
“Came back from the Land of the Dead (Coco) and they agree to your terms in exchange for protections from Soul Society,” Valerie reported.
“Good. Go and give the order to send soldiers to be sent and setup a base,” Pariah said.
“Will do boss,” Valerie said taking off.
“Yes this is far better than how I use to do things,” Pariah said to himself.

Talos 2 -
Jenny sat in front of the long range communication controls, with the signal being boosted by the Gem ships that had entered the system, which numbered 6. Two warships and four cargo ships that carried the things needed to rebuild the base. They're already rebuilding the moon base, and setting up some other defenses as well, seeing how the Sol system is part of the Gem empire. To make sure that something magical in nature wouldn't happen again, taking the designs of Professor Membrane's anti-magic machine. All the main weapon systems of all gem ships are being upgraded with an anti-magic emp type weapons that will shut down anything magic, no matter what. Something that the other Diamonds agreed with after they saw the report of what happen on Earth.
Steven also having an energon collection plant on the planet Mercury, to justify the cost of the defenses being place in the Sol system. Energon being used in the new gem pods to create new gems instead of draining planets of life. As well as a practical currency for most of the known universe once races discovered how powerful of a fuel source it is. Not to mention how powerful weapons powered by them are. In this region of the galaxy the Gem empire is so powerful thanks to them producing the most energon.
"We're currently at war with both the Gouald empire and the Lorwardian empire. And then there is The Queen of the Crown (Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers) who we're fighting with the Cluster," Steven explains to Jenny.
"Who's that?" Jenny ask.
"She's the ruler of a vast and crumbling Empire, the sorceress-Queen fuses magic and technology in a nightmarish combination in order to stabilize and keep hold of her territory," Vega explains.
"The band of villains that, I was busy fighting to help you guys out. Turned out to had been hired by her," Misty adds.
"I have upgraded the Cluster war machine to fight her forces, but we're at a stalemate. With her having to deal with keeping her empire together to put more effort in our war," Vega said.
"Aren't there any other empires you can team up with?" Jenny ask.
"We are part of one already," Misty said.
"We're members of the Utrom Alliance. We share military and technology to help other members. But even then we still have our hands full dealing with the aftermath of the merge. They're sending us aid but they have their own troubles to deal with. You think it's bad on Earth out here in space it's worse," Vega said.
"Well what you expect when most of the police force around here are also the galactic Postal Service," Misty said.
"What?" Jenny ask.
"They deliver and guard the mail that is sent from one system to another. Beats hoping that a delivery company ship won't be ransack by pirates. It's their main source of income," Misty explains. (1)
"Make sense," Jenny said.
"Also meet with the robots that form the Mighty Orbots, Boo, Bo, Bort, Crunch, Tor, and Ohno of the Galactic Patrol. You and your sisters should all merge together to form a giant robot too," Misty said.
“Yeah that be nice,” Jenny said. “What about the space police?”
“Have their hands full too in keeping the peace. All the different space police groups here and other galaxies we have contact with are also working together like Star Command, Virus Warriors, and the Galactic Guardians,” Misty said.
“The ships and defenses I sent are the only ones that I could spare. Without leaving other sectors underpowered. The energon plant is the only reason why I can spare a squad of ships to be station there,” Steven explains.
“So if we were to increase energon production. It would make the Sol system important enough to have more protection,” Jenny said.
“That would work. Making the Sol system a major source of energon would make it important,” Peridot said who after surviving the old moon base destruction. Has been busy in rebuilding the defenses and building a new moon base.
“I can see if there are any cybertronians willing to go to the Sol system to help in energon production,” Vega said having taken in many refugees from the galaxy that Cybertron is located in. That’s to them the Cluster has been advancing in technology as their two technologies merged together.
“Great, we also have that massive space station Titan Station that we can use to get more energy too. There's a massive solar array that we can use to make energon. It use to power the station till it was replaced by fusion generators. The robot crew I left there have been working on repairing the station but with some gem help it be done faster,” Jenny explains.
“Great, I'll give the order to help. Also about that dream program,” Steven began but was cut off.
“Me and my sisters got rid of it and made sure that such a program can’t work on us anymore. Turns out that the reason why it work was because the chip that Wakeman installed in me for the dream program to interact with. Was never removed from me after the mess I caused the first time around. So when my sisters were all upgraded with bodies like mine, mom had copied my body which included the dream chip. The bad guys having hacked into Wakeman’s computer learned that she only deleted the program leaving the chip in me. So they only had to steal the program and not have to figure out a way to install the chip into me and my sisters,” Jenny said.
“I wanted to see if I couldn’t dream surf into your dream,” Steven said.
“That would be fun but no. The chip is gone so there is no way for me or my sisters to be caught in any dream world ever again,” Jenny said.
“What about your older sister?” Misty ask.
“XJ-10 made sure Wakeman removes anything that could be used against her. We’re also being rebuilt with anti-magic metal that will completely prevent any spell from effecting us again,” Jenny said.
“Still have issues with your mom?” Vega asks.
“I only have Gaia as my mom as she treats me and my sisters as family and not tools,” Jenny said. “Besides she doesn’t care enough to try to make things right she just went and built XJ-10 to replace me.”

Elsewhere in space -
Orbiting Jupiter the gas giant planet, is the super max prison for being too dangerous for any other prison. The prison orbits the Goldilock zone where if the prison were to go lower the gravity of the planet would pull the prison down where it would be crush by the pressure. The entire prison is run by robots with the life support being able to be turned off at anytime. The only way to travel to the prison is by starship, there is a teleportation pad but that is kept far from the prison and heavily defended on its own space station.
To keep prisoners from thinking they can escape by stealing a transport, all the transports are nothing but shipping containers that hold a limited supply of air thanks to air tanks, and for the ones who don’t need to breathe. The containers that are ship between the two stations can’t move on their own, needing robots to transport them. Which are always watched by drones that are armed with lasers that can cut up the containers in seconds.
In case of a riot or a breakout, the entire prison is design to be destroyed easily. The metal of the station is only strong enough to keep the station together and mainly rely on the forcefield to keep it safe from anything that drifts too close to it. The life support systems would release poisons into the air and water supply, right before cutting it all off. There are bombs that are buried deep in the right places that will cause the prison to break apart. Not to mention the rockets that keep the station in orbit, would reverse and fire at full blast to send the station down into the gas planet. Then there are the auto cannon drones that surround the station that will fire on the station when the alarm goes off. Making it impossible for the prisoners to escape, on their own. Like in Doctor Who with The Beast prison that hovers above a blackhole, it breaks free it dies. The prison station follows the same idea, the moment the prisoners try to escape, they die. Making it the prefect prison, that no prisoner could ever escape from without outside help. Which is why the two stations are also protected by an army of robots and drones that would attack anything that came too close to either stations.
A new prisoner was being transported into the prison. Yujiro Hanma who before the merge was an unstoppable fighter, who could slug off bullets and punch through tanks. But like many others once the merge happen they found all the superhuman things they use to be able to do didn’t work anymore. And that bullets work on them like everyone else. He had laid low as he felt a drive to become strong in this new world and spent a year training himself.
Yujiro went to Gravity Falls to fight all the people that came out of those fighting games. In one of the casinos that was hosting a fighting ring where some of the fighters of different games could fight each other. He had watched at first and was glad to see that they still had their powers, but saw how they held back like in American wrestling so not to really hurt or cripple someone. Bored he hopped into the ring and introduced himself and accepted anyone who wanted to fight him.
What he got was Princess Sunset flying into the ring and pointed out that he’s a wanted man still. And by exposing himself made him an easy target to capture. Which she did by simply creating a bubble around his head and held it there till he simply ran out of air. And when he woke up he was chuffed and in a force field cage. With Sunset telling him that she can’t believe that no one in his old world ever just gas him as she doesn’t care how strong he is, he still needs air. Which he admits even before the merge would had worked on him as he needs air, like everyone else.
Yujiro on a gurney being wheeled by a pair of robots, took him pass several cells. And strap down as he is, Yujiro could only look into the cells of his fellow inmates. Who are all too dangerous to be kept on Earth, and we’re going to be just executed.
Princess Kaguya the source of chakra or whatever it’s called. She was captured during the first year of the merge.
Cronus the Greek god of time and unlike his kids didn’t lose all of his powers.
Chase Young a evil magic user and fighter who can transform into a dragon.
Wuya a powerful witch before the merge took away her magic.
Hannibal Roy Bean a living bean that is much more dangerous than he appears.
The Dark Dragon the only evil dragon in his world.
Auntie Roon a powerful witch who was left powerless after the merge and was captured when she was trying to get her magic back.
Then there is that small old pervert who went around stealing underwear of women in Japan. Happo- something who is a very skilled fighter in his own right in his world and somehow even being very old is still strong. Strong enough that he could fight himself, but was quickly captured and just disappeared. Well Yujiro did wonder where he was sent off to after he was captured.
After being placed in his cell Yujiro sat down on his bed and waits. He knows that escaping from this prison is impossible from the inside. He was shown the video explaining what will happen if any of them try to escape. They escape, they all die, or if immortal trap in the high gravity of the gas giant they’re above.. no if there be an escape from this place it be by outside help.

Camp Lakebottom -
“My evil clone is still alive and has teamed up with other evil versions of other heroes,” Jake said talking to his grandpa on videophone.
“I had hope that with the Dark Dragon imprison there wouldn’t be any more evil dragons, from our world at least,” Luong Lao-Shi said.
“Well tell the rest of the family and not be fooled by him showing up. I am not going to be back home anytime soon and won’t just show up out of the blue,” Jake said.
“I’ll tell them and the magic council,” Luong Lao-Shi said. “And what of the others?”
“Juniper is handing things on her end, Danny and Dani are preparing to deal with their evil future selves. As for the Powerpuff Girls... they’re taking it hard that their sister Bunny is now fighting on the other side. Both Buttercup and Bubbles are blaming themselves for failing her when they created her,” Jake said.
“Take care Jake,” Lao-Shi said hanging up.

On the East Coast -
Once again Doctor Von Reichter lab is fully operational. Which is now using the cover of a fish packing plant instead of a pig farm, as he does need to be able to get rid of all the bio-waste that his experiments produces. The Fix Ideas now working along side the workers that were already working at the plant, while his lab is hidden in one of the nearby warehouses used for the plant. He has setup several meat base plants like this all over the country so that he always has another safe house to make his new base. The meat part was to make it easier for him to get rid of failed experiments and bodies.
Bringing up a screen showing the conveyor belts busy at work getting rid of the organic waste. Unlike before he's being careful by having the Fix Ideas only working at night when the normal workers had all left. The conveyor belts fed the industrial recyclers breaking down all the organic waste, into cubes. Richter rather like the recyclers as they made it so simple to get rid of bodies that he rather not have anyone find, even if he is only having the homeless being used as lab rats. No one misses them but there is always the bodies to get rid of, so that people don't catch on that something is happening.
He switch to another screen and brought up his new partner in crime, Dr. Luther Paradigm also known as Dr. Piranoid arch villain of the Street Sharks. He's working off shore in an underwater sea base, with his seaviates a group of mutant sea creatures. Slobster, a anthropomorphic monster lobster, Slash a mutant swordfish with a drill nose, Killamari a mutant squid who is able to project natural "spears" or "harpoons" from his mouth and the many suckers covering his body, Repteel who use to be human before he was merge with the genes of a moray eel and electric eel, and Shrimp Louie a mutated shrimp.
"Dr. Piranoid how are things on your end?" Reichter ask.
"I have been making progress with the mutagen and mixing it with my own gene research. I'll be able to control how the mutagen works so that instead of it being random, the mutants created by it will not be wild or uncontrollable. I been working on the sample you gave me but it will take sometime for me to perfect what you want me to do," Dr. Piranoid said.
"Good, we can't risk the heroes finding out about this. It was by sheer luck that the heroes learn about my operations near Gravity Falls. I don't want this operation found out," Reichter said.
"At least the recycler also takes care of the mutagen so that there won't be any trace of it," Dr. Piranoid said.
"There is that. Give me an update when you make a breakthrough," Reichter said as he turns off the screen and walks over to the tank holding his latest masterpiece, a tall woman with long black hair.

Canterlot -
Sunset walks into the lab of Crow who has made a breakthrough with his portal machine. With her are the Turk members Tseng and Elena, while the others had the day off. Crow was laughing as a portal was opening in the gateway he made, with the help of other smart people from the video games.
“They finally did it,” Becky said to Sunset.
“And it opens to your universe?” Sunset ask.
“Should,” Tails said having help build the portal.
“Can’t wait to get back home,” Crow said as the portal open up to reveal a surprise princess Mayapple, princess Apoidea, princess Ariella, and prince Malachite all looking up in surprise.
“Crow?” Mayapple ask.
“That’s right I’m back,” Crow shouted as he leaps into the portal and lands on the table the royalty are all sitting at. “Back and ready to kidnap you all again.”
“Boss,” Becky said getting his attention as she pokes her head out of the portal.
“Yes?” Crow ask looking at her while she made hand signs to look around him.
Which he did and saw that he’s in a room full of princesses all sitting at tables and all looking at him.
“You have the excuse of being gone for awhile but this is a meeting of the Council of Virtue,” princess Virtue the head of the council said from the middle of the room.
“Oh this is embarrassing,” Crow said as the Council of Virtue is one of the times where the villains don't do anything, taking a break from being villains.
“Excuse me,” Sunset said as she flies out of the portal. “I am princess Sunset and acting as the diplomat for my world.”
“Has Crow been causing trouble for you?” Mayapple ask.
“No he’s been a big help since he started working for me,” Sunset said appearing in the portal.
“You work for her?” Apoidea ask.
“Different rules from here and I couldn’t just kidnap princesses anymore,” Crow said.
"He tried that with me and all that did was him ending up being dog piled by my sisters," Sunset said.
"Don't remind me," Crow said.
“Is the portal stable?” Sunset ask Becky who is still on the other side of the portal.
“Yes it is,” Becky said.
“Turn it off and see if the radio works. And turn it back on after 3 minutes,” Sunset said.
The portal closed and Sunset called using the radio which works and the portal reopen.
“Ok, I call you when to reopen the portal. Crow and Becky you two go and contact the other villains. While I talk with the other princesses here,” Sunset said.
“Sure,” Crow said as he and Becky left the room. Leaving Sunset with the rulers of his world for some diplomatic talks.

Machine nation of Zero One -
After the destruction of Liberty Prime and the lost of the crew of the USS Constitution. Mr. House made a deal with the machine nation to rebuild the USS Constitution and make the parts to rebuild Liberty Prime. As well as another project that’s being kept behind closed doors.
The robots of Zero One rebuilt Captain Ironside using his memory box that was saved. Downloading his mind into a spare body while a new body is being built for him. And his new body is being designed by both Doctor Light and Wily so that he’ll be more powerful than ever before and made it impossible for him to be hack by any virus. And are equipping him with weapons and equipment right out of their games.
The remains of the Constitution have been salvaged and being used to build a new ship. Which will served as the flagship of Zero One navy, which Captain Ironside will be in command of and is recruiting an all robot crew to man the warship. That will be apart of UN operations once completed. The machine nation had already revealed themselves to the world and are now having talks with the UN. And rebuilding the Constitution is part of a PR campaign to improve their image as many have seen the Matrix film series.
Seeing how there is an entire nation of machines, the robotic experts Doctor Wily, Doctor Light, and Eggman all traveled to the nation. They were all there when the MCD forces had attack Gravity Falls, and why they couldn't give more aide to Professor Membrane. Seeing that thanks to uploading a virus into some of the robot heroes allowed the takeover to happen. The 3 worked together to make it impossible for that to happen with the robots of Zero One, by adding their knowledge of protection against that kind of attack. For the most part anyways as the robots from Robot City are basically clockwork robots, the 3 doctors had scanned and look at parts of dead robots who couldn't be fix. And there are nothing but gears and springs inside them, which even the robots had no idea how that works. But it also made them impossible to be reprogrammed as there is nothing there to reprogram in the first place.
With their advance technology, the nation of Zero One are on their way of becoming a global superpower. And unlike what happen in the world of the Matrix, most of the countries part of the United Nation have pass a motion for equal rights to all fully sapient A.I.'s. With many nations and companies already making deals with the machine nation, trading for things that they needed.
With China still in a civil war, a new industrial giant is rising up to replace it. The robots also been taking in things that other countries didn’t want. Like bones that the robots used to make oil for lubricant, which they trade for advance machines or for factories to make parts for the non-robot nations.
Then there are the unclaimed bodies that people have no idea what to do with. As there are thousands of unclaimed bodies that end up in morgues, that their families or friends didn’t want to deal with mostly with the homeless or people too poor to have a funeral for, which before the merge ended up in mass graves or burn to ash. After the merge the unclaimed bodies would go into a recycler that broke down the body into cubes, after getting permission from the family or friends who didn’t want to deal with the body or after the set amount of time depending on where the morgue is located before they can legally toss the body into the recycler. Which fans of Judge Dredd have called the recycling centers that dealt with dead bodies as Resyks after the ones in the comics.
While the cubes of mineral, synthetic and exotic materials were easily sold to buyers. The organic cubes had few buyers thanks to where the cubes came from. But the robots have been buying the cubes, which they used in fabricators to create things like oil, lubricant, and blaze to keep their factories running. Which many countries around the machine nation have been sending the organic cubes to them in exchange for goods.

Thailand -
The Thai city of Roanapur was under siege as the Thai army had rolled into the city. The main roads leading out of the city are guarded by soldiers and sentry guns that shot at anything that tries to leave. Anyone who tried to stay off the road would be attack by hordes of Eyebots. Those who try to escape by air are shot down by missiles, from stationary missile sentries or Eyebots. They are also blow up any boats that try to leave the city, backed up by the Thai navy.
The Thai army was called in after a call from the U.N. Informed the Thailand leaders about the city that is a cesspool of crime. Which also has a rather large safe house for M.C.D. somewhere inside the city. A US navy ship came across a ship that had onboard several ponies that were being shipped out to be sold to buyers who believed that by eating them they would gain magical powers. And after interrogating the crew of the ship the navy crew learn that the ship came from Roanapur a Thailand city.
XJ-10 had been sent to round up all the crime lords before they could escape. And seeing how Roanapur is the only piece of the world that the city came from after the merge happen. All the people in it weren't citizens to any country, so quietly they'll be transported away to be taken care of.
"The last target has been taken. Only a few holdouts are left in the city," XJ-10 said to command.
"Get them into the transports," a fully masked soldier said as he controls the robot soldiers as they force the crime lords into the waiting transports.
"The ponies and some of the stuff stolen that are here have been recovered," XJ-10 said to command.
She watch as ponies were being taken into transport.
"I understand," XJ-10 said staying to make sure nothing happens till the operation is done. Where the Thailand army would took over once all the ponies and items stolen were recovered.
While she waited XJ-10 listen to the news reports. It seems that thanks to the backing of her sister Jenny, Charles Godwin and Henri Crosteau has convinced the UN to set up ADVENT battlegroups and are working on getting the ok for the Nexos cloning chambers all across the world. England being the only exception thanks to the sanctions still being up.
Speaking of which Norsefire's is on the raise in international and domestic popularity. People being angry of not being allowed to go to give aide to all the displaced people of London thanks to the UN sanctions against Albion, talks of removing sanctions from them, Pro-Norsefire governments being voted into power all over the world, Norsefire disbanding, merging and remaking MI5 and MI6 into SIRS (Signals Intelligence Response Service) due to their 'incompetence to foresee and prevent the destruction of London, the Metropolitan Police Service has similarly been disbanded and replaced the paramilitary corporation Albion, and overall people all over the world becoming more xenophobic and paranoid. It also came out that the video showing what happen at London and all the other stuff shown on the video came from a server in a Norsefire branch office.

Big Mountain -
The Big MT Research and Development Center was built inside a cave system running underneath a large mountain peak that gave it its name. The goal of the facility was to build the future of mankind and create the technology of tomorrow without restraints, either moral or technical. It welcomed some of the most gifted scientists, who plumbed the depths of many experimental technological fields. The research conducted within was as groundbreaking as it was unethical, conducted in part on living humans (both American volunteers and Chinese-American detainees). Big MT even included a concentration camp of its very own, safeguarded by lucrative contracts with the US Army, such as the X-42 giant robo-scorpion. However, due to budget cuts in the later years of its operation, Big MT had to improvise alternate means of funding and research. The executives began to strike deals with third parties, exchanging experimental technology for money and other privileges. Due to budget cuts, they even began assassinating non-military targets Project Hare to procure research subjects, and exhuming buried US citizens Project Burketo procure test subjects.
Of course after the merge happen, the R&D center fell onto new management as a new government was made, with Robco acting as the front company. Some of the prisoners were released and given new lives as the crimes they committed against a government that was no longer there. But some prisoners were kept because of them not being the likes that you want to live next door. Many prisoners that are sent to Big MT are the same who would make better as lab rats than anything else, mostly death row prisoners who had the choice of surviving for 10 years before being cut free or go back to death row.
"I must say I thought the game setting we were in was something," Professor Hojo said as he and Scarlet are the newest members of Big MT after Membrane's Lab went bankrupt. Both of them are in the weapon testing area to see the new robots.
"Just don't start acting like we're back in the game," Scarlet said who unlike how she acted in the game is actually meek about exposing herself.
"Don't remind me. Since coming here people think I'm like that off camera," Hojo said.
"Ah good you two are here," Doctor Bright said who is one of the researchers of Big MT.
"Of course it might not be my department but it's nice to see some of the old robot bosses," Hojo said.
"Well we couldn't make them as they are in the game but close enough," Scarlet said joining the two at the viewing window.
The first robot model being presented to the suits in the other rooms is the Scorpion Sentinel using the robot scorpions that Big MT had already made as a base.
The second robot model is the Airbuster.
The third is the Valkyrie.
The forth is the Arsenal.
"So how much are they?" Hojo ask.
"I managed to keep the cost low to that of a tank by just using the operating system used in the PDQ-88b securitrons. So each cost under 10 million," Scarlet said.
"That is impressive," Bright said as he ate something from a jar.
"What is that?" Hojo ask.
"Oh this?" Bright said holding up a jar containing green slime or jelly in it. "This is something that, I came up with it's plant material that's been broken down into its base components. I call it Salient Green, a universal and easily convertible nutrient source."
"That be useful,” Hojo said.
“Yes a new money maker to help funding. I got the idea from the recyclers,” Bright said.
“Makes things so much easier, I sure wish we had that in the game. The remake really shows how slum life is like and how much trash piles up,” Scarlet said.
"So which food company are you going to sell that green stuff too?" Hojo ask.
"Well many of the food companies from my world are having a hard time to meet the standards of food safety of this one," Bright said.
"The amount of preservatives in the food will make them last for hundreds of years. Seeing how the USS Constitution had food onboard that still be eaten even if they're very unhealthy. Not to mention like that processed meat, Cram that are shipped in cardboard boxes. I don't get how that was ever approved. Than there's the Sugar Bombs, I can't believe the amount of sugar those boxes contain. Its like the bake goods from Equestria, over 100% of the recommended daily amount of sugar," Scarlet said.
"Mad because it's so fattening?" Hojo ask.
"I do not want to end up like the ponies," Scarlet said.
"Well the Sugar Bombs are now have less sugar than they had before," Bright said. "Speaking of which how is the test going with those two headed cows?"
"The Brahmin are quite a product of the nuclear fallout but with some work and selective breeding the perks that the Brahmin have over the non-two headed cows can be pass down to a new breed. Not to mention the radiation they have in their bodies makes them harmful to even try eating. The other animals from that bad future world are something else. I would expected it more from a game world than anything else," Hojo said.
"What about those other creatures? From the eggs that were stored away on the USS Constitution?" Scarlet ask.
"Very dangerous to handle from the ones that were hatched. Need to research them more but it does seem that most have been effected by something that Bright's pre-merge government had been working on," Hojo said.
"Like the samples of Adam it needs to be researched more before it can ever be used. Those creatures born from the fallout and what else were released after the bombs fell, are stuff of nightmares," Bright said.
"Which is why they're all locked away in here. I might be a mad scientist in the game but off the clock, I know better than letting loose those horrors," Hojo said.

Gravity Falls -
A new factory had open up a subsidiary of Vim! Pop Incorporated, a soft drink manufacturer that operates out of Maine on the East Coast. Sunset on a visit to Maine was introduced to the regional soft drink and took a liking to it. Seeing how before the Merge happen the company wasn't doing well thanks to the brutal tactics from Nuka-Cola, signed a deal with the company to supply Canterlot with their soda.
All the casinos carry the soda and with good advertising, along with Sunset often being seen drinking the soda. Got many people to start drinking the soda, which came in 4 different flavors. Vim a combination of pure Maine spring water and other extracts and syrups, the flagship beverage of the Vim! Pop Corporation is slightly fermented, which helps to better bring out its unique and natural flavor profile. Vim Refresh which is even more energizing than Vim Quartz, and is flavored with apples. Refresh looks the same as regular Vim, but with a light green color and a lime wedge design on the label. Vim Quartz is bubble gum flavored and contained extra "oomph" (or "vim"), making drinkers more energized. Captain's Blend that has a taste that is fishy, with marketing has the taste of Maine in a bottle.
Vim has proven to be a popular drink among the griffins and loved the Captain’s Blend as fish is a big part of their diet. Which is why the factory has been built to supply the demand for the drink. As well as allowing the company to get their name out there around the West coast.
There is also another soft drink that Sunset took a liking to during a visit to Las Vegas to see Mr. House for a business deal. The root-beer type soda, Sunset Sarsaparilla is also a popular drink around Gravity Falls after Sunset started ordering the regional soda to be ship to the casinos. And became a big enough hit that a small factory was built to supply the demand for the soft drink. The company is also trying out new flavors like Diet Sunset Sarsaparilla.
Another soda Nuka-Cola can also be found but the company is still facing the fallout from Nuka-Cola Quantum having radioactive isotopes in the beverage. Not to mention the underhanded tactics that the company uses to get rid of their competition. There is also the problems found at the company’s theme park Nuka World. The company flagship drink also is very unhealthy because of the amount of sugar of over 120% of the recommended daily allowance of sugar. The CEO and founder of the company John-Caleb Bradberton has been busy making the changes and meeting the safety standards of the new worlds he found himself in.
Even with all that has happen, Gravity Falls still has people and companies moving in to setup shop. Thanks to Sunset’s making Equestria into a place that people could legally gamble, and having tax breaks for companies that operate in the kingdom, with some conditions they have to meet to enjoy the tax breaks. So that they can’t just build a factory and than shut it down to move operations elsewhere or having an one man office that does nothing just to enjoy a tax break there or backing out a deal without heavy fines filed against them.
There is also another reason why tech companies are setting up shop in Gravity Falls. A couple of months ago it was discovered that the gems that grow like some crystals that’s found all over Equestria, once crushed and refined. Could be made into microchips that can be reduced in size and their speed increased as well. Computer systems that could handle the data centers of governments and companies, that took large rooms to be stored in could be made the size of a toaster using the gem microchips.
Now after the invasion and with the rebuilding taking place. The news was released and different companies are now investing in the new microchips being created. The main investor being Mcduck who Sunset made a deal with to oversee the production of the chips. Thanks to Sunset knowing that she will always get a fair deal from him. She also made a deal with Mr. House to have some of the mines run by robots or partly and work with normal workers.

MCD -
Since the failed invasion and even with some of the goals having been completed, the fallout of threatening the world with a space rock that’s a global killer is still being felt. Namely the governments of the world are cracking down hard and the MCD branches around the world. Anyone with any connections to them have been rounded up and tortured for information. With some having their brains taken out and made into robobrains, who when ordered to told their jailers everything they know. All civil rights were halted seeing what levels the MCD group would go.
The buyers who brought the items stolen or the ponies who were taken, were also hard pressed. Made to talk from pressing the barrel of a gun on a finger and pulling the trigger, till they talk. Or being given lighter sentences for information. Or just having mind reading machines used on them. Which lead to operations being stopped by government forces, assets seized, and safe houses being raided.
Then there is the other criminal groups that are now refusing to do business with them. Including banks that use to laundry the dirty money into clean money. Seeing how anyone connected to them would have all their civil rights taken from them, which seeing how MCD was willing to kill everyone on the planet if it wasn’t for the heroes stopping them. Made working or doing business with them too hot, even North Korea wasn’t willing to do business with them.
“Ok with the losses thanks to the world wide crack down. We’re down by 70% of operations and dropping as the governments around the world crack down on us. Thanks to many governments not holding back and sub-spending civil rights just for us. Is causing mass desertion from the ranks and few other if any want to do business with us. Then there Is Grindelwald being labeled as a bad boss, willing to kill his own people just to save his own skin. Has cause people to not wanting anything to do with him or the group. Not to mention how we're now labeled as sex slavers for perverts who are into child porn and furry. Thanks to what some of the people who brought the ponies young and old did with them and there’s that sex video that showed up with Grindelwald with those children,” Kevin said reading from a clipboard.
“Which isn’t me,” Grindelwald defended himself.
“No one cares and believes the worse of you,” Kevin said.
“So what we did is hurting us more then what we gotten out of it,” Killbane said.
“Yup unlike the terrorists like the Middle East ones before the merge anyways. We don’t have a country that both supplies and fund us. Or allow us to hide in said country and among people who will hide us. Which thanks to the oil rich countries no longer making billions and being the main source of income, said countries are bankrupt and the terrorist cells now have no funding or supplies coming to them. Which is what’s happening to us right now. We’re losing manpower, assets, and people who will do business with us. Jack Hench of HenchCo Industries has wash his hands in selling or buying anything from us. Only Dark’s operations are still running and our sole lifeline. Without him we would only last for a few months at best on our own,” Kevin said.
“This is Steelport all over again,” Killbane said.
“Best thing to do is hide and wait,” Kevin said looking at his clipboard. “Especially seeing how both you and Grindelwald have a combine billion dollars price on your heads.”
“What?” both men shouted.
“There are going to be a whole lot of people coming for your heads. Especially seeing how anyone who has a criminal record will be absolved of all their past crimes on top of the half a billion price on your heads,” Kevin said before his iPhone made a beep and he looks at it. “No wait it’s now an even billion for both of your heads being offered by the U.N. So expect lots of people all be gunning for you two. Also the American president has just challenge to a rematch fight, 'if Eddie isn't a coward', in her own words.”
“This was a mistake,” Killbane said realizing how many villains would be after him with the offer of both the money and the crimes they have committed being absolved from their records.
The base was suddenly rock by explosions. Turning on the security screens they saw the base is being attack by WEE soldiers and robots. The screens suddenly showed Gemini the leader of WEE or Worldwide Evil Empire.
“Killbane, Grindelwald sorry to bust in but 2 billion is too much of a good deal, to pass up,” Gemini said.
“Why you,” Grindelwald said as he tries to cast a spell but found he couldn’t.
“Anti-magic generator, the best that money can buy,” Gemini said.
“Then we’re doing it the hard way than,” Killbane said pumping himself up for a fight. But stops as the base is rock again.
"Just not WEE is after the prince on your heads," Kevin said bringing up a screen with the Legion of Evil made up of Vladimir, Mudslinger, Lancer, and The Mad Hammer Brothers, C list villains of XJ-9 breaking into the base. There is also the Footclan being lead by Karai and Shinigami, who also brought with them Bebop and Rocksteady. Then there are a group of mutants and magical beings being lead by Tiger Claw and Fishface.
"All after the price on our heads," Grindelwald said not liking how outnumbered they are.
“And it gets worse,” Kevin said bringing up screen of their own men switching side.
"We need to leave now," Killbane said seeing there be more coming soon.
"Right," Kevin said as he presses a button and a hidden door swung open and all three ran inside leaving the base.

Castle of the Two Sisters -
Sunset has been busy as she's been pulling every favor and strings that she can in rebuilding her country. With Celestia gone there is only Cadance and Luna to help her, not that Celestia did much but every little bit would help. There is also another issue, both Twilight and Alchor being alicorns, they're seen as a proverbial POWER couple. Although not 'technically' dating, the two are getting VERY close... their alicron training was progressing rather nicely too.
Sunset is seriously considering making them royalty. At the moment there was no rush... true, the losses and kidnapping of ponies had been staggering... but the vast majority of the ponies had left, and without their bickering and causing problems. Susnet was finding her job much easier, as the ones that are mostly left are the ones whp actually listened to her and embraced change. Which while the ones who refused to changed had hide away in their homes, the others had fled or help with the fighting.
With only around 25% of the pony population remaining in Equestria. Susnet was quick to open the real estate to others. Typically the ponies who left were finding it a nightmare, having to deal with others who aren't ponies. Most of the pegasus had just made cloud cities and fled. But now without Sunsets political protection they were getting shot down all over the world. The other ponies aren't much better, the Earth ponies are becoming more isolated and the Unicorns are acting more and more as snobs.
Fluttershy and Rainbow begged and pleaded for Susnet to do something when their parents got shot down and thrown into prison. Sunset finally agreed but on the condition they be made to do community service to fix things AND they either had to live with the ponyheads or on the ground, anymore making cloud cities will see them straight back to jail. Which the parents agreed as they didn't like being in prison.
Blue Blood and the other nobles who went with him eventually tried to come crawling back, but Sunset wasn't having it! They made their bed and she wasn't going to help them anymore. She had WAY more important things to do then babysit a bunch of adults who should know better. If they didn’t like how the real world is without her protection and them having to actually find jobs and not living in an all pony residence, they shouldn’t had left.
Twilight is also still helping her friends to get their act together. The one doing most successfully, was Rainbow. Sunset had finally agreed to create the Shadowbolts on a trial basis.
Many people showed up, including the old Wonderbolts. They act arrogant, thinking they already have it in the bag... and try to convince Rainbow to skip the 'formalities' and just let her 'old buddies' in. They also tease all the non-ponies and anyone who can't fly (thinking Rainbow is pulling a prank 'letting' them here).
Rainbow tries to VERY hard to be patient and insist the sit down for the orientation/try-outs. They don't get the hint and arrogantly think she's just tying to look professional and not show favorites in public. They believe she'll be waiting to make them Shadowbolts in 'private' (several Stallions say that suggestively, much to her annoyance).
She tries to start the orientation... and then it's crashed by a monster... many (mostly all the former Wonderbolts) just fled. But several others try to protect people... others stay put... others who started to run but stop when they realized what was happen, but Scootaloo actually jumps at to attack-
CRACK!
Only to shatter the holo-projector instead... turns out the beast was fake... like the fake dragon that Sunset had setup during the rally the pony arm forces had setup. Showing everyone that they rather just act brave only till they had to risk their lives to save others, which they ran and hide even one hiding behind a puppy.
"Wow you all fell for the same trick," Sunset said to the ponies who had returned, as well as a couple of others just 6 who also ran.
"This was the first test, if you were either compassionate enough to protect people, smart enough to realize it was a trick, came back when you got over the shock and collected yourself or brave enough to attack a monster 10 times your size. You passed and everyone else failed," Rainbow said to everyone.
"I'M BRINGING THE HEAT!" a heavyset human man shouted as he came bursting in armed with a shotgun that has a baynet attached to it. He looks around and saw no monster. "Hey where did it go?"
"It was a test to see who would run and hide rather than do their job and protect others. But seeing how you just ran to grab a weapon you pass as well," Rainbow said.
"Hey that's no fair," Spitfire said backed up by the other Wonderbolts.
"Seeing how a filly was braver than you all, how can any of you be counted on protecting others when at the first signs of danger you all fly away. And seeing how Den here a chicken didn't run away tells me all I need to know about you all. I can't believe you all were my heroes," Rainbow said.
"I agree," Den a chicken from the world of My Gym Partner is a Monkey said.
"But most here can't fly!" Spitfire pointed out.
"Have any of you heard of flying machines? The Shadowbolts aren't only for the ones with wings, using aircrafts and some magical ways thanks to Sunset. The recruits will train in all of them to keep them versatile and from depending on any one source of flight," Rainbow explains.
"Guards takes them away," Sunset said sending out the robot guards which forcibly escort them out.
"Hey I know she's underage... but she WAS the only one to attack the monster," Rainbow said pointing to Scootaloo.
"Take her as an intern under your wing... we'll see where things go from there," Sunset said.

Gravity Falls -
Wendy sat with her dad as they waited for her mom to finish speaking with the elders of her tribe. Which one of them being her grandmother who is an elder and is the reason why her mom is also there at the metting. Her borthers are out and about talking with some of the other male members of the Deer woman tribe. It is true that male children of deer women don't have any powers like female children, but they do sometimes get something thanks to how many other races deer women mate with. With some of the male children showed once they're old enough.
"We're back," Velma said entering her mom's home.
"We went through everything and think we know what happen," Bella, Wendy's grandmother said who still looks good for a woman of her age thanks to being a deer woman.
"So what happen?" Manny Dan ask.
"Wendy's wolf form is caused by her having a wolf as a spirit animal. And that's dangerous as a deer woman typically has a prey spirit animal. By having a predator spirit animal will eventually make her unstable and insane," Bella explains.
"Wait what about that power up I took that transformed me into a giant werewolf?" Wendy asked.
"That is something that I pointed out and the others have no idea. Not to mention if there isn't already a werewolf or a skinwalker in the family. And what was shot into her just woke the dormant genes up or the traces of the power up inside of her," Velma said.
"Well thinking of it, during the month where you were conceived I did join in on the fun with those....," Bella began.
"NO!" Wendy shouted not wanting to hear sex stories of her grandmother.
"So what was done to Wendy could had been caused by either the power up or one of her grandfathers being a werewolf or a skinwalker?" Manny Dan said not liking hearing sex stories of his wife's mother. Not to mention how often she hitted on him, which onyl ended after Wendy came along.
"This is unprecedented and no 'conventional' means can help Wendy," Bella said. "Well there is the 'unconventional' expert."
Manly Dan goes deathly pale and pleads. 'No! No, anything but HER!'
"But we have no choice but we have to wait for a week or so. She's still in New Vegas," Velma said.
"Who is?" Wendy ask.
"My sister Rita," Velma grunted not liking she needs help from her sister.

The Mystery Shack -
For the last day or so Dipper has been seeing Slenderman (mockingly doing normal things and giving Dipper the occasional cheeky wave and 'catch yah later' motion, etc) everywhere but Stan and Mabel don't see him. They don't take him serious or support him and insist he just be a 'normal kid'. Justifying it as Slenderman being here is supposed to be impossible because of the barrier.
For various reasons no one is around to help out Dipper, large reason is that Stan closed the shack and sent everyone away to have a 'family day' to try and fix the gap between Mabel and Dipper, also he's secretly doing this to get them in a good mood and keep things private when he tells them their parents are dead. Edda and Luz aren't around because they got a lead on Luz's parents where abouts and are down at the police station to see what they can tell them. Wendy is meeting with the elders of her tribe of Deer Women and be away for the entire day.
Dipper tries to contact others, but found that Mabel has destroyed all of his secret communication devices so he'll focus on her. But secretly she's trying to get him to stop being involved in the paranormal a she's scared he's going to get himself killed. Mabel saw him kill Killbane and doesn't want him to be a killer.
Dipper just gets angrier and angrier as they refuse to listen, keep forcing him to do family activities, won't let him contact anyone for help. He tries to point out all the episodes where a person isn't believed until it turns out he's right all along. But Stan is desperate to set the mood to tell them about their parents and fix Mabel and Dippers relationship. And is experiencing tunnel vision... and Mabel's just being Mabel.
"Come on Dipper we love playing with each other," Mabel said.
"I rather be at the camp and having fun with the kids there," Dipper said.
"They're mean!" Mabel said.
"That's only because of you pissing them all off whenever you try to do anything with them," Dipper points out.
"But those Dazzlings sisters and that girl Shreeky, have been going out of their way in bullying me," Mabel said having one mean and cruel prank being done to her by them.
"And that's different from just about everyone else how?" Dipper asked.
"Come on Dipper we don't need anyone else but us," Mabel said.
"Only because no one around here like you," Dipper points out.
“Well it doesn’t matter, once we’re back home than everything be back to normal. No more life and death things happening and I’ll get mom and dad to stop you from doing paranormal. And no more you hanging around that slut Wendy instead of me, Mabel your belov....,” Mabel was ranting before Dipper tackles her to the floor and began to punching her face.
“Dipper stop!” Stan shouted pulling him off of Mabel.
“You and your double standards,” Dipper said storming out of the shack leaving Stan tries to get him to come back, apologizing profusely, acknowledges Mabel went too far that he handled this poorly, and pleads for him to come back so they can sort this out as a family.
“Family? Yeah right, you care more about Mabel than me. I’m going with having a family of choice than being family with Mabel,” Dipper said taking off into the woods.
!
In the woods -
As Dipper's running off in search of Slenderman. Using the various clues that Slenderman gave him, with the offer for some information for him if he entertains him. Dipper finds him in the clearing not too far away from the shack. Waiting for him by a campfire.
"Glad to see you come," the man with no face greeted him.
“You’re not Slenderman,” Dipper said looking at the no face man more closely. He’s wearing a dark suit with a well-pressed shirt and tie, polished shoes, a white handkerchief in his pocket, and a well-brushed hat.
“I’m certainly not. I’m the Terrible Trivium at your service,” he introduced himself.
“Wait from the Phantom Toll Booth?” Dipper ask.
“Yes my boy I am,” Terrible Trivium said.
“Then why did you pretend to be Slenderman?” Dipper ask.
“When did I ever said I was him? If you mistakes me for him that your fault not mine,” Terrible Trivium said.
“What happen to him?” Dipper ask.
“Was laid off after his creator decided to break off the co-write with this story with this universe creator. I gave him the pink slip and sent him to the unemployment line,” Terrible Trivium explains.
“Just like that?” Dipper ask.
“Just like that and now I’m his replacement and unlike him I’m not going to be a average power fantasy avatar for the creator of said avatar. That’s just lazy writing and ass pulling with him taking things from other universes that has no connections at all with the setting of this world. Like being in a fighting game and than someone brings out a gun, just a power fantasy. Not to mention the reason why he got away with stuff and never got any real punishment is became his creator is very protective of him and hates him not being smug and getting away with everything he does and wouldn’t hear of any suggestion of him actually being hurt and showing anything but being smug. Just a power fantasy of a lazy plot device that is average, seeing how many creators do that, making an avatar that is invincible and never gets hurt even being made into a fool. There is a right way over making an overpowered character like what happen in One Punch Man, what happen with Slenderman is just the average plot line that too many creators do,” Terrible Trivium explains.
“So basically Slenderman was fried because of being a story breaker and the two creators broke apart because of that?” Dipper ask.
“Among other things that I won’t go into,” Terrible Trivium said.
“So what’s your deal?” Dipper ask.
“I’m neither on your side or the villains side. I will help you one day and the other I won’t. But don’t worry unlike Slenderman I won’t be just pulling stuff out of nowhere, and just to let you know I’m stronger than him. Seeing how the lions hare of his powers came from being a power fantasy. Without them he isn’t anything but a boring villain,” Terrible Trivium said. “Like that summoning spell you have ready on that spelldrive. He would had pulled out a staff that allowed him to control the zombies, he he got it by pulling it from a Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons type world.”
“That’s just cheating,” Dipper said.
“If you and the others could freely travel to different universes that be completely different but in this setting. It’s just an ass pull,” Terrible Trivium said.
“So that’s it what you wanted to tell me?” Dipper ask no something else.
“Nope that’s not the reason why,” Terrible Trivium said.
“Than what is it?” Dipper ask.
“Dipper!” Stan shouted as he and Mabel had ran after him.
“Slenderman!” Stan shouted seeing that Dipper is right.
“Dipper I’ll save you!” Mabel shouted running over to him and grabbing his arm.
“It’s not Slenderman it’s Terrible Trivium,” Dipper said.
“Dipper let’s run,” Mabel said not listening and pulling on his arm that held the pip-boy. And doing that she press the pip-boy that had the spelldrive app on it and activated the summoning spell.
“Mabel you idiot!” Dipper shouted as the spell summon the undead which burst out of the ground.
“Dipper what’s going on?” Stan shouted as the zombies came out of the ground.
“An army of zombies that Abadeer gave me a summon spell for. They’re able to kill Slenderman from what he told me. They will follow one command before they go back where they came from,” Dipper said.
“Great! Zombies get Slenderman!” Mabel shouted and pointed at Terrible Trivium.
The zombies look at Terrible Trivium before turning to the Pines.
“Mabel you idiot I said he’s not Slenderman and because you gave an order they can’t follow. They now no longer under anyone’s command but their own,” Dipper said.
“You all should run,” Terrible Trivium said as the undead horde advance on the Pines.
The Pines ran back to the shack with the zombies following them. There they found they couldn’t enter thanks to Mabel locking the door and forgetting the keys. Seeing a bunch of fireworks that Stan had setup, Dipper fired them all off hoping that it got someone’s attention. Which it did as it got the attention of a securitron that’s part of the rebuilt police force of Gravity Falls. And the word quickly spread of zombies attacking the Owl Shack.
!
Now -
Hearing about the zombie attack, while she was at the police station, Eda race back to the shack while leaving Luz behind as she waited for her mother who turned out to had just moved to Canterlot for a new job there. She was surprise to learn that not only her daughter is living in the nearby town but also been living with a witch in another world.
Once Eda got there she began castings spells on the zombies attacking her family. The securitron that gave out the alert had tried to destroy the zombies but was overwhelmed by their numbers. The only way to completely destroy them was by destroying their heads, which was a lot harder than it seemed as their heads were nearly unbreakable. The only weapons that work were explosives, energy weapons and magic.
More people came once word spread once like Mabel and Stan mistake Terrible Trivium for Slenderman. They began calling people and more and more people began to show up. As that was happening Terrible Trivium goes through the letters in the mailbox as he watches the Pines fight off the zombies as they tried to get onto the roof.
“Bill, bill, bill, coin collection thing, may have won, hello what’s this,” Terrible Trivium said as he finds a court letter and reads it. “It’s a court letter for Stan.”
“No don’t! Please don’t do this!” Stan shouted realizing what Terrible Trivium found.
“What do you know Stan and Eda Pines are the kids new guardians,” Terrible Trivium said wagging his finger in the air.
“What?” Dipper asked as the zombies all just froze.
“The untimely demise of Mat and Rose Pines, the guardianship of their children Mason and Mabel Pines nearby goes to Stan and Eda Pines,” Terrible Trivium said.
“Our parents are dead?” Mabel ask in shock.
“What’s going on Stan?” Dipper asked.
“They died in a car, their bodies are missing but it doesn’t look good,” Stan said causing the twins to be devastated at the news. Mabel more then Dipper, as any chance of having a normal life is being smashed to bits before her. “I was going to tell you two tonight, this whole family thing was to make both of you happy so I could break it to you two. And I failed miserably on all accounts.”
“What are you talking about. Their parents bodies are right there!” Slenderman said pointing behind the trio.
Sure enough, their parents are right there. Mabel happily embraces them, but Dipper wasn’t fooled as Terrible Trivium only said it’s their parent’s bodies. And he was right as both parents grabbed Mabel and were lifted into the air, revealing it to be the escape SCP-1305 the Cat Lure. The cat lure tried to pull Mabel into its mouth but Stan pulls her away and Dipper blasted the puppets it was using before blasting into its mouth. Sending the cat lure into the mass of zombies who swarmed all over it and rip it to pieces.
At this point a large crowd of their friends and even gods have gathered, but they’re all silently watching dumbstruck at the reveal of their friends parents dying. They’re also waiting for more gods to show up to bring down Slenderman for GOOD. Their not taking anymore chances with him, somehow he not only regenerated from the beatdown they gave him much faster then it should've been possible to but he also somehow bypassed the barrier, which was ALSO impossible.
XJ-9 begins to access the database to look for how their parents died. And sees it was the day that she and her sisters were all shut down for that new patch. The same day the incident with Thrax at the arcade happened... and also. XJ-9 face was lock in horror as she begins to connect some dots.
“How did they die?” Dipper ask Stan as Mabel is crying over the husks that we’re her parents.
“Does it really matter?” Stan said as he gets evasive.
“Of course it does,” Dipper said.
“That’s the news that I wanted to give you Dipper,” Terrible Trivium said.
“That my parents are dead?” Dipper asked.
“That Stan dismissed the charges of manslaughter of the one who killed them," he said.
“What are you talking about?” Dipper ask baffled as he glares at Stan.
“This letter, shows Stan ordering all charges to be dropped on Mabel Pines,” Terrible Trivium said.
“Me?” Mabel asked.
“Stan what did you do?” Dipper snap at his uncle.
“Come on kid it’s all a misunderstanding,” Stan said.
“How did they die?” Dipper ask.
"I'll do you one better my boy. I'll SHOW you what happened,” Terrible Trivium said as he creates a window in time and space and it begins to play what happened that night. But Grunkle Stan tries to block it and pleads with Dipper to not look.
Dipper gets more and more angry.
“You’re only delaying the inevitable,” Terrible Trivium said.
“SHUT UP!” Stan shouted which Dipper uses the distraction to forcefully knock Stan down.
And thus Dipper saw it... his parents driving down the road... Mabel running past... them swerving to avoid her. With them crashing into the SCP truck... the crash killed them. His father chest being crushed by the wheel of the car as the front was crush inwards. And his mom face impaled with the broken glass of the windshield, managed to crawl out of the wreckage before choking on her own blood. Than the cat lure broke free of the damaged truck, eating the still alive truck driver and then feasting on his parents bodies.
Dipper... is silent...
Stan has his head in his hands saying. "It's happening again."
Mabel sobs in denial...
“That’s why we never found the car crash they described in Gravity Falls... because it was in PIEDMOUNT and the future,” Sunset exclaimed.
“And you did that when me and the others were offline for an update,” XJ-9 said.
“Wait I thought that Slenderman couldn’t manipulate time like that without destroying the universe he was in or at least alerting everyone on what he's doing?” Sunset asked Kronika and Clockwork.
“He can’t and that’s not Slenderman,” Clockwork said.
“My name is Terrible Trivium his replacement after he was fired. He will never be apart of this tale again. Not after showing he’s nothing but a bad plot device and power fantasy,” Terrible Trivium explains.
“So it’s your fault!” Mabel interrupts and tries to shift the blame to him.
Terrible Trivium just tsk and wags his finger. And reveals more windows in time, showing her all the times that a Slenderman possessed, Sprott warning her over and over to let the pig go and that it wasn't worth it... and Mabel just brushed him off every single time... even holding up a sign. Dipper and Twilight had sorta saw it. But had been too busy focused on catching Mabel to really see what it was.
“Had you just given up on that pig, your parents would still be alive,” Terrible Trivium pointed out.
Stan enraged at the sight of Mabel’s sobbing. “Hold on! Are we seriously going to take the word of this sociopathic ass-“
“I believe him,” Dipper said shocking Stan.
“Dipper you can’t believe that,” Stan said.
“I rather believe him then you,” Dipper said pointing the blaster he’s been using at his uncle who backs away in fear. “You would had never told me. That it’s thanks to Mabel that my parents are dead.”
“Dipper,” Mabel sob reaching out to him only for her let out a scream as the energy blast from Dipper’s gun barely miss her hand.
"This is my message and for these zombies," Terrible Trivium said as he clap his hands creating a shock wave that pop all the zombies heads at once. The zombies all crumbled into a heap that would take time to clean up.
"Terrible Trivium it's been awhile," Abadeer said having been called by Marcaline about Slenderman showing up and was surprise that it wasn't.
"Yes it has Abadeer," Terrible Trivium said.
"So he's gone for good?" Abadeer ask.
"He is and all of the things he has done is undone. All the souls he made to be sent to another universe are back in this one and all the other things. Aku that he was using as his personal time traveling plot device has been gotten rid of. Now that all of his plot armor is gone he's nothing anymore," Terrible Trivium said showing Abadeer what happen to Slenderman.
Slenderman in the Creepypasta universe is packing all of his belongings that could fit into his car as he was kicked out of his home as he couldn't pay the bills anymore without a job. And skip forward in time to show Slenderman living out of his car that he couldn't drive anymore as its broken down and he's stuck in a small town in the middle of nowhere. He survives by digging through the trash and collecting recycles to earn enough money to keep himself alive. Skip forward showing that his car was towed away after he had a run in with the police and he was jailed. And he's now sleeping under a bush once he was let out. (3)
"No big ending or a grand final. Just him without a job and back in his own universe where he can't pay the bills. Ending up living on the streets homeless," Terrible Trivium said.
"Good, I hope he lives forever and lives like that forever," Abadeer said.
"Unlike him, I don't depend on plot armor and power fantasy to be able to do things. Which I'm much stronger than he is without his cheats," Terrible Trivium said.
"Aren't you the demon of trivial tasks and not important ones?" Abadeer asked curiously.
"And the ultimate form of trivial tasks and not important ones is the internet age. People wasting time looking up completely unimportant information, people wasting time reading other people blogs, people wasting time looking for things to complain about. Wasting time trying to get likes instead of making something of themselves. Than there are the gamers, wasting time saving the world of a completely made up world, and wasting so much time in completing tasks that have no impact on the game at all and just doing it to complete the game at 100%. The best thing is that I don't have to do anything as they're just doing it themselves," Terrible Trivium said.
"You are better then the baby who needs everything made easy and protected by his plot armor," Abadeer said.
"Well, I'm done with my part for now," Terrible Trivium said as he sank into the earth.

Later -
A lot more people had gathered around the shack after what happen. The gods have mostly left to spread the word that Slenderman is gone for good but a few are sticking around as they want know what's going to happen. Word had already spread about Mabel being responsible for the deaths of her parents, just for the chance of her getting a pig.
Sunset asks if anything can be done from Clockwork and Kronika. They tell her no, with Mabel being the main reason that killed them also made it a fixed point in time on top of everything else. Mostly thanks to her running through time and already setting up per-destine events.
Sunset then quietly talks with some other rulers. They all agree not to confront Stan about lying in regards to getting permission from the twins parents, but they also agree that Mabel HAS to go. They won't confront of him now... let him have time to mourn... but then they'd tell them that by summer's end... Mabel was to be kicked out of Gravity Falls. And was NEVER allowed to return.
At that point they see the inevitable confrontation...
“Dipper how could you shot at me?” Mabel pleaded to Dipper.
“I don’t want to hear it from you. Thanks to you caring more about a pig you only knew for a day there isn't a home for us to go back to anymore. No, that was never my home. The only good memories I had were with you and our parents. And now those are tainted. Everyone there, you, mom and dad, the school, everyone there all pressured me to be NORMAL... but here in Gravity Falls I can finally be myself. Be with REAL Friends and a REAL family,” Dipper said.
To everyone shock, he walks over to Lilith.
"Aunt Lilith is it alright if I stay at the embassy for awhile?" Dipper ask.
Lilith was stunned and looks to her sister, who nodded in agreement. Both of them have been fighting for years, but what happen between Mabel and Dipper is much worse than what had happen to them.
"Sure Dipper," Lilith said.
"No Dipper don't leave me!" Mabel pleaded.
"Right now, I just want to kill you and than kill your ghost," Dipper said causing Mabel to be stun silent.
"Dipper stop!" Stan shouted as he goes onto his knees to be at eye level with Dipper.
"I can't trust you. You rather keep it all hidden so I wouldn't know Mabel killed our parents. I have no sister," Dipper said.
"I know I screwed up and wasn't honest with you. But don't cut ties with Mabel, I made a mistake once and it broke my family apart. I don't want that to happen again with you two. With your parents gone and my brother Shermie maybe about to join them," Stan said.
"What!?" both Dipper and Mabel gasped.
Stan gave out a sign thinking of his younger brother. “Your grandpa's not doing great. He wasn't exactly a picture of health before all this, he was a heavy smoker and has lung cancer because of it. And once your grandma died he went back to smoking and drinking. Now learning about the death of his son and daughter-in-law REALLY did a number on him... he's refusing all treatment... and he's not eating. The doctors aren't optimistic... it's like he's just lost the will to live!”
"You two are all that, I have left now. I don't want to see what happen to my family happen again," Stan said.
Dipper was floored by this. He wasn't seeing his usual sarcastic, snarky conman of a grunkle. Just an old man who just wanted to keep his family together.
"No, just no. You proved and shown that you care more about Mabel than me. I can't trust you. And Mabel is the one who killed our parents. And that, I can't forgive," Dipper said walking off with Lilith following him to the car that drove her to the shack.
As they drove off... a broken Stan is helped to his feet by Eda. She tries to be as comforting as possible. Mabel tries to run after Dipper pleading for him to comeback, but she's held back by some unsympathetic securitrons, that Sunset sent to keep her back.

Elsewhere-
“Things really have shaken up,” Uniscorn said having watched the action with the others.
“So what happens next?” Kuvira asked.
“That’s the problem, I have no memories about this happening at all,” Uniscorn said.
“I don’t remember hearing about this either,” older Kuvira said.
“Me neither,” older Lum said.
“So what does this means?” the krogan ask.
“It means we’re flying blind and it means Mabel isn’t needed to be around anymore,” Uniscorn said.

Bill’s realm -
“THIS IS GREAT NOW THAT FOOL SLENDERMAN LOST HIS JOB BY BEING A BORING POWER FANTASY CHARACTER. I DON’T HAVE TO SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT ANYMORE. AND SEEING HOW HE CAN’T JUST SHOW UP ANYMORE AND ALL THAT STUFF HE HAS BEEN SETTING UP FOR THAT IDIOTIC THIRD ACT IS GONE. I CAN REALLY GO AND BE THE GREATEST VILLAIN,” Bill said.
“Yes Bill this is the time to show that upstart how to be a good villain and not just an average power fantasy villain that shows up,” the stranger said having joined up with Bill. “I had some hope that he’ll be more than just a power fantasy but he has proven that he can only be that. So mediocre.”
“SO DID YOU FOUND THE IRON POT?” Bill ask.
“They found it,” the stranger said.
Two figures came out of a portal. Monkey King who unlike his good counterpart is a psycho prankster. He was trap as a wooden puppet till he was freed by Him. The other is Spring-Heeled Jack a ravenous and rhyming troll, who can leap great distances. Many years before, a wizard named Simon Magus turned him into a statue and stored him in his museum of strange creatures. He was freed as well and got to eat the descendants of Simon Magus. Between the two they carried a big iron cauldron.
“THE BLACK CAULDRON NOW THERE’S A SIGHT I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER SEE AGAIN,” Bill said.
“The Horn King had no idea the power it contained, neither did those witches and you two did took care of them right?” the stranger ask.
“Sure did, those hags didn’t had their magic anymore,” Monkey King said.
“The fat one was tasty,” Jack said.
“OF COURSE ITS JUST A POT TILL ITS EMPOWERED BY A SOUL JUST AS VILE AS THAT EVIL KING,” Bill said.
“I have an idea for that,” the stranger said showing Bill the book that's been causing trouble.
Something that Slenderman had plans for but now that he's gone. The book that drove people to kill had another use. The stranger drops the book into the Black Cauldron, where the evils of the book was devoured by the stronger powers of the Black Cauldron. Restoring it to its full power thanks to the evil history of the culture that was written in the book.
"GOOD NOW THAT THE POT IS POWERED UP THE REAL FUN CAN START," Bill said.

Author's Note
1 - It would make sense having mail being delivered by a group that can fight off space pirates.
2 - Admit it, if you or you ever had a party member like that you would never let them back on the team.
3 - I could had given Slenderman a horrible ending but this is a more realistic one and all too common thing that happens in real life. And won't be able to turn their life around as having a police record while being homeless, makes it very hard to find someone willing to give you a job or help from services that help the homeless in real life.
