Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night

Dipper Pines was amazed at how things had changed in a year. He watched from the bus as his sisters played with her braids as the continued merge between Republic City and Piedmont continued in earnest. What was once a den of boring suburbanites is now Home to millions from the 4 nations who each can bend one of the four elements with only Korra the avatar being able to use all four at once. They're also some of the few people from a magical like world who can still use their powers.
Dipper reflects how the world had changed since the Merge, with many worlds being fused together or bites and pieces of others. There are many worlds where magic use to be real, but in this new world there isn't any magic left.
According to Star Butterfly of Echo Creek, she had destroyed the magic that allowed magic to exist in her dimension that also linked to others.
The experts best theory is that when the merge happen it also got rid of the other magics of the other worlds also pulled together.
The kind that is used to cast spells with, seeing how there are two kinds of magic. Spell magic which was destroyed and passive magic that is just there. Like how the ponyheads can be how they are and live on magic clouds with all the buildings and things that don't just fall through like with normal clouds...well that and the clouds are msotly magical plants...
Dipper goes through the scrapbook of various news articles he'd been collecting since the start of the merge...
Whether the merge was good or bad could be rather mixed at times...especially to the magic users who found themselves in this world. Like in Japan there was Sailormoon and her fellow guardians who became pop idols after losing their magic.
A career choice that many other formerly magical girls were quick to follow. Some of them miss their magic like those wizards and witches in England- which without magic have fallen on hard times as between overreliance on magic and being so isolated they had no idea how to live without it. While others like that Ranma guy, who use to change into a girl with water is no longer cursed.
Speaking of Japan there was that alien princess Lum or something that made news when they showed up on the day of the merge. They were going to invade by giving Earth a chance to win a game of tag to stop it. But it seems that Earth wasn't the only planet effected as there are new planets and aliens out there in the universe, so the aliens left to deal with all the new things out there.
The merge also revealed aliens who have been living on some of the other Earths. Like that Zim guy: a little green alien who just wore a wig, contacts... which the idiots of his world could never see through... even with him having no NOSE!
The only person who saw through it was his online friend Dib. Dib would amaze him with all his attempts to 'out' Zim...which always failed... frak, even when a big alien went and crash into his classroom in front of everyone... no one cared... and then almost immediately quickly forgot about it and just laugh at Dib when a bird pooped on his shoulder.
Thankfully with magical creatures and other non humans walking around, Dib is no longer seen as crazy nowadays. He even made friends with a boy name Lincoln and another 2 kids Clyde and Ronnie.
They made a web series of them going around and learning about the new creatures and non humans. Which is a big hit and how Dipper became friends with them. As they share his love for the supernatural. Even if there isn't any magic anymore.
People have gotten use to all the non humans and creatures... as opposed to the whole 'we go to war and all that' reason that is used on some worlds they hide with magic.
And having been proven wrong; many of the younger generation- who had wanted to reveal themselves but were always stopped by those above them -Have broken away from their old culture and stopped listening to their elders.
Like the American dragon of New York, who can still change from human to dragon.
He has been very publicly denouncing the old ways of hiding from humans and going against the elders of the magical world with their mindset of 'humans will always seek to kill them because they're different, and that there is no way the younger generation would think differently.'
Having been proven so wrong this has helped people like Star Butterfly and Juniper Lee helping all walks of life to adjust to their new world.
They started clubs where kids of both human and non humans can meet up and become friends. It was becoming more and more clear that they are the ones who will change things, not the older generation.
There is even a young wizard name Potter or something with the muggle born wizards and witches helping the younger generation to become friends.'
Dipper then turns to his own thoughts...namely on the destination he and his sister are going to...His parents were sending them to their seldom seen grunkle Stan who lives in Gravity Falls Oregon for the summer.
Dipper had done some research on Gravity Falls...at first glance it was just a small sleepy town in the middle of the forest. Stan had apparently turned his home into a tourist trap called the Mystery Shack which played off the surprisingly large amount of supernatural occurrences there.
Of course now that the merge happen, Stan still runs the trap but mostly with all the weird things that being found there.
Like the Maw: a huge ship resort that had suddenly appeared that was a actually a prison for children who are fed to the guests. It was cleaned up and now is serving as a home for many non humans and humans who had moved in.
'There is also Equestia county: home to both talking ponies and colorful humans. The ponies come in 3 types normal; Earth, pegasus and unicorns. But their was also the 3 royal alicorns who are a composite of the other 3 races.
They use to be able to use magic that allowed them to do many things. But without it they have become limited in being able to do what they use to do.
There are also other races that came with them and have spread out since the merge.
They're still ruled by their princesses. but the news of the white one abandoning her daughter has caused her to abandon her throne and now her sister and niece are ruling the ponies.
As for the daughter, Sun... something... she's helping her aunt and cousin in modernizing everything. She turned the entire county into a resort and is now a big tourist hot spot, which Stan was also making money from.'
'There is also a town of Peach Creek between Gravity Falls and Equestria County. Also Canterlot City, that sits on the land above the valley. And a few miles away is the Candy Kingdom made up of candy people.
There is also summer camp that appeared in Gravity Falls. Camp Lake Bottom which is run by a sasquatch, a zombie and a normal human woman when it appeared. It's now a camp for both human and non human kids to spend summer together and learn to become friends.
Dipper was excited about that last one!
Both Dib and his gang had told him that they are going to the summer camp along with a whole other bunch of kids across the country. He was finally going to meet all his online friends in person!
Mable...didn't seem to be as enthusiastic about that...apparently she felt he was just making these people up...which kinda hurt...but he was sure she'd come around after meeting them!
Dipper put down his journal he has started writing ever since the merged. He's been writing his thoughts and writing down what he sees so that all the new and strange things he encounters would be recorded. He looks to his sister Mabel who is busy looking up things with her phone, which is cat videos.
Suddenly he gets A flash of memory of an older Mabel in a run down apartment... Why does he keep having these strange flashes?
...Meanwhile...
"Ready to go?" Ronnie ask as she got out of her brother's car to join the others at the bus station. They would take a bus for about 2 days before making it to their camp.
"I'm ready," Clyde said. His dads were busy making sure all the things he needs would be in his bags, which turns out that won't all fit in the bus. So they're rearranging and taking out things with the bus driver having told them there is too many bags.
"I can finally be alone and away from my family," Lincoln said who came with Dib so that he wouldn't have to spend anymore time then needed with his family.
Ever since the merge; the relationship with Lincoln and his family has changed.
News came out about how his family had kick him out of the house because of them thinking he's bad luck.
The only reason why the Loud family wasn't now broken up- with the parents in jail and the kids sent to foster homes -is because of all the confusion that happen because of the merge.
With so many worlds all pulled together, no one really knew what laws were still in effect and who was allowed to serve it.
The police had their hands full in dealing with all the chaos and looting. Especially Seeing how the city that became fused with Royal Woods had some... very strange 'laws', to say the least.
But with that said, the the Loud family lives were ruined once news came out of them kicking out Lincoln.
The parents lost their jobs and their old friends stop being their friends. They were forced to get new jobs in the city that was just a dump compared to Royal Woods.
The people from the Royal have been constantly befuddled by the sheer insane amounts of apathy and stupidly shown by just about everyone in the city. It was to the point where they name their city, 'The City', even their schools are spelled 'Skool' to show how dumb most of the people are.
Needless to say; the people of Royal Woods avoided going over to the City side of their new city... which unfortunately is now half The City and half Royal Woods. The new city is now called Royalwoods City.
With how different and insane most people are in the City part, few Royalwoods venture into that crapsack part of the city. Which both parents now had to work in to put food on the table.
Luckily for them, Its also the main reason why they weren't put into jail thanks to their home falling into the City side, which as stated before has 'different' 'laws' from the Royalwoods side.
The girls of the Loud house also suffered as they became outcasts in their schools once it became known what they did to their brother. T
he girls tried to make things right, but Lincoln had given up on them ever treating him as they would if he was born as a girl.
He's expected to be the good brother while all of them get to do what they want while expecting him to drop whatever he was doing to help them.
The only one Lincoln still sees as a sister is Lily. Now he spends most of his time away from his family besides Lily and hang out with his friends, especially Dib who shares his love in the supernatural.
Lori and Leni lost all of their friends and Bobby broke up with Lori. Both older sisters then lost their jobs and now have to find work in the City side...as prostitutes...
Luna got kick out of her band and no one would hire her, forcing her to also look in the City side for work...she was now a roadie to a band who only paid her if she slept with them...
Luan also lost all of her customers and the only ones who would hire her is in the City side, which usually has her being pelted with waste and heckled if she's lucky.
Lynn became blacklisted because of how bad of a sore loser she is, with no team wanting her. Even being the last being pick for PE. No one even listened to anything she says, pretending she wasn't even there.
Lucy likewise was kick out of her circle of friends, along with everyone learning she likes reading the cute pony comic.
As were the twins Lana and Lola, with the later being black listed in beauty pageants.
Lisa has to face being mocked by her peers for believing in something like someone is bad luck and being seen and treated as the small child that she is.
All In all the entire family is seen and treated as if they came from the City, who are avoided like the paluge and not talked to at all. (1)
"Tell me about it," Said Dib.
Dib loved how the merge brought people who weren't at all like the people around him. He quickly transferred out of his old Skool and went to the school that Lincoln goes to for a better education.
Which also meant Gaz got in as well, seeing how both of them were the only students who tried and actually could understand what the better school taught- although Gaz was quick to be arrested after beating up a teacher -
Better yet, in this new world Dib being into the supernatural and aliens was seen as cool. Especially after he, Lincoln, Ronnie, and Clyde exposed Zim as an alien, to people who weren't from the City.
Then there's their website and blog where the share what happens to them and what supernatural things and beings they discover. Their online videos are mostly about how to interact with all the new non humans and for said non humans learn how to not treat humans. Both sides having different customs and cultures needing to learn how to work together, with them mostly focusing on the kids around their age then adults.
"I'm surprise your sister isn't coming," Ronnie said to Dib.
"Please, ever since she learn about online gaming, she's been posting and streaming herself playing games, which makes her money so she can buy more games and make more money. And Dad is too busy, as all he cares about is all the new technology for him to study. But he and Gaz are doing better all and all. He's no longer having to be the only smart guy that keeps everything running and Gaz is actually a bit nicer now after having spending time in juvie for her getting into that fight."
True...that had been mostly due to her parole officer and the court-mandated shock collar...but hey, it was progress...right?
The city part of Royalwoods City only lasted about a month before it all fell apart...
In fact all the people from Dib's world had the rude awakening to a world where their stupidity isn't rewarded or ignored. Most people quickly found themselves kick out of their old jobs seeing how people from other worlds weren't dumb and just let someone who was incompetent for the job to keep it.
Many children found themselves in foster care which caused it's own problems.
Which is why both Dib and Lincoln avoided going into the foster care system, seeing how overwhelmed the workers were and how bad things were.
The city part of Royalwoods is only running because of people from the Royalwoods side now in charge of things... after the government of The City was forcibly disbanded.
But people only worked there because of the pay or- like the Loud parents -because no one else would hire them.
The City part is the bad side of the tracks and the people there morons, with only a few of them being competent enough to do low skill jobs.
"It's still strange that your dad was so busy in the old world, that the only time he could spend time with you two was ONCE a year."
"You get use to it," Said Dib with a shrug.
"So what's so special about Gravity Falls? You 3 been going on about it since we signed up for the camp," Ronnie asked.
"From what we've been hearing, is that unlike everywhere else in the world: Gravity Falls is the last known place where magic can be found," Said Lincoln.
"Unlike all the other things: like how Jake the dragon can still transform or Danny Phantom, both of which is passive magic for their dragon and ghost abilities... Which I guess would be more of a meta or natural power like in the DC comics where Starfire's people can naturally fly, have super strength and can fire energy blast.
But For those who are like Juniper or any similar magic user, they just lost their powers when the magic went away. Since it's spell casting type," explained Dib. Although he also points out this is all theoretical and they didn't know that for sure and their could easily be exceptions to those 'rules'.
"We been checking things out and from blogs like that of the Abominable Bro-Man who lives there. There are still plenty people saying there is still magic in the area and we're going to prove it," said Clyde.
"Wait, if there is still magic there... why is it only there?" Asked Ronnie.
"It seems that anything magic begins to lose it's power once taken out of the valley, it just fades away in a couple of days to weeks. Of course usually the magic isn't the spell casting type, just something like a magical glowing rainbow rock that stop glowing after a couple of days," said Lincoln.
"People think it's because of both Equestia and the Candy Kingdom being there on either side of the town."
"I'm guessing that the valley acts as a recharging station and depending on how long you stay there is how much of a charge in magic you get. Still have to do a whole bunch of tests once we're there to be sure though. There were all kinds of different magics from the worlds that were brought together. But ow many of them will be able to use that magic...well that's another story. Good thing I bought so many magic items from around the world online for testing," Dib said.
"Well don't expect to use any of those old magical girl transformation crap. There is no way I'm dressing up like them. Running around in those mini-skirts showing off their underwear for the world to see," said Ronnie.
"Would never dream of it," said Lincoln with a smirk yet also with a light blush. Which caused Ronnie to glared at him before punching one of his shoulders.
...
"That's wonderful, glad to see how well the Sparrow Scouts are doing in making friends with non humans," Juniper Lee said as she chats with a young green haired girl name Hilda.
"Yes, the Frea brothers and sisters are helping in keeping the wild and feral trolls away. Me and the rest of the kids think it's neat having some friendly trolls around. The adults are still uneasy with them though," said Hilda.
"By the way, hows Thor doing?" Juniper asked.
"He's still touring around and showing off in those shows. I never imagine a god to be like... well him," said Hilda.
"Tell me about it. I'm surprise that he still has some of his old powers. Is he still acting like Marvel comics Thor?" Juniper asked.
"Oh yes, he's dressed like him and even trim his beard to be like what Thor has in End Game. As well as helping the police whenever he can," Hilda said.
"Nice to see someone like him dong my old job," said Juniper.
"So how are things now that you no longer have to protect the magical world?" Hilda ask.
"Great, I can finally have a normal life. My human friends and non human friends get along and got to show everything that I have wanted to tell and do. Sure we had problems at first and with the whole merge thing but we quickly bounce back, with us kids leading the way," Juniper said.
"You did have super powers," pointed out Hilda.
"Well thanks to the merge, I no longer have magic and am no longer trapped in the barrier since it's gone for good," said Juniper. "I can't believe all of this time we've been hiding simply because of the magical elders fear that humans couldn't be trusted not to go to war with us."
"Same here with those wizards who without magic are just muggles now. I use to be able to do magic. but now the ritual magic doesn't work anymore either. Its too bad, with all the worlds kept separate because of how things were in the past. There was so much we could've done," said Hilda.
"Grandma took it bad when she realized that if she'd done what I'm doing- flip off the elder and go around teaching the younger kids to learn to be friends with monsters- when she was younger then she wouldn't have wasted her life," said Juniper sadly as her grandma had become quite depress once she realized that fact.
"I never understood that; Even before the merge happend in my world we always knew about the magical world and just learned to live with it. Now school has some non humans attending. In my class we have the goblin twins Gine and Gina, Max a small breed of arachne, Jak a cyclope, Sally a mermaid who uses a wheelchair on land, and Anne a dragon like Jake," explained Hilda.
"Same here and even with non humans in the classroom. School is still school," said Juniper. (2)
...
Jake stood in front of the dragon council and his grandfather. Much has change since the merge and the magical world couldn't hide anymore.
With everything chaos between figuring out who is running the government and all the other stuff. Jake helped at first, but once things settled down he just stop being the American dragon and just let the police handle things, seeing how they also been hiring non humans to serve as law enforcement too.
He and his friends started a club where kids could make friends with non humans. Seeing how everything the council did to hide- because they truly believe that muggles will never be ready for them, -was only true because no one ever tried to change things... Which he flat out told them to their faces- among other 'colorful' words - before abandoning the role of American dragon.
Jake and his friends got the young of both groups together, to ignore what the older generation thought was right and make friends with each other.
Using the the civil rights moment as an example- where it was the younger generation who just didn't care about the old ways and their parents who stubbornly held that the color of someone skins is all that matters -on how to become friends with kids their own ages, no matter if they're human or non human. And it spread quickly across the world; as the young were the ones who did the most to adapt to the new world they're in, while many of the adults held onto their ways till it was either changed or shoved out of the way. (3)
"Yeah, so what do you want?" Asked Jake, showing no respect towards any of the elders. He- like many of the younger generation of the magical world -looked down at the elders who kept the worlds separated for their own reasons, which had been proven so wrong.
"Jake we call you here for an important mission," Luong Lao Shi said to his grandson.
"Why not have Haley do everything, She's still wants to be the American dragon. I on the other hand, made it clear that I don't want to ever see any of you again or work for you... Not after what you all tried to do," said Jake with a glare.
The dragon council had joined forces other magical councils to try to restore the veil that hides the magical world from humans and erase everyone's memory of what happend... It worked for only a couple of hours before the magic just faded away like every other magic spell that was cast in the early days.
Once it was discover what they'd done, it caused many to distrust and even despise the various magic councils.
"Now kid, I know you don't want anything to do with your gramps and the others. But this is a big deal," said Fu Dog, who Jake still considered a friend despite still working for the council and was the ONLY reason why Jake had agreed to come to this meeting.
"Well what is it?" Asked Jake annoyed.
"There might be a way to restore magic,"said Fu Dog.
"As if I didn't hear that before," growled out Jake. "Let me guess... it's something like those wizards tried in a ritual that had them offering the blood of thousands of babies to regain their lost magic."
"Don't remind me," shuddered Fu Dog, remembering the massive backlash to hit the magic users after that. Honestly, what had those English wizards been thinking?
Not only had their 'plan' not worked, but as a result of it the Wizard government of England was immediately destroyed and replace...followed by mass lynching of those who had anything to do with the baby slaughter. With no excuse of them being pure blood, rich or 'we were made to do it' accept or even heeded. It did help unite the many groups in the UK together... but in only in regards to their newfound hate for magic.
"No. Nothing like that. There is a place called Gravity Falls where magic is still around. We sent people and they discovered that while in the valley where Gravity Falls is located, they could use magic. But once they left the magic fades," said Lao Shi.
"So why me?" Asked Jake.
"We don't want to make a big scene and seeing how there is a summer camp for humans and non humans...," Began Fu Dog .
"You want me to go and check things out, seeing how," Finished Jake.
"Not just you. We're sending your sister, Trixie, Spud, and Rose to maintain the cover of 'kids going to summer camp.' With the kingdom of Equestia and the Candy Kingdom being around Gravity Falls and others hearing about how there is still magic there. The council doesn't want...," Lao Shi was interrupted by Jake.
"-Don't want people to flock to Gravity Falls in the hopes of getting their spell casting magic back. Like what happend in other places where that magic was reported to be still around," said Jake remembering the news reports about what happened in some of those places.
In the early days there were still lingering spell magic energy in some places that had strong magic to begin with. But the spell cast by Star Butterfly to destroy magic also effected the other worlds when they merged together. And before the magic faded away, many magic users who clung to what they use to be able to do did whatever they could to have sole possession of the last bit of spell casting magic. Things turn real ugly real fast before the last bits of magic faded away.
"Yeah both Princess Bubblegum and Sunset wouldn't be too happy if the same thing happened to their kingdoms. Both of them are playing the 'strange stuff happening' to be just passive magic at work and giving any non spell casting magic a charge in power. Which they also used to get tourist bucks," said Fu Dog.
"Well at least it be a nice place to spend summer," said Jake. He and the others had been leading the movement for the young to become friends with non humans and camps like that were essential to that end. Him and his friends going would be a big PR move.
"Also Juniper is going as well," added Fu Dog.
"Cool, we'll finally be able to speak face to face," said Jake.
...
XJ9 or Jenny was busy as usually as she with XJ8 track down some rouge animal machines.
The merge had brought with it a world that had been wipe clean of life and only brought back to life by the A.I. Gaia. Along with humans that live in a world that have been teraformed by machine like animals, in the ruins of a technology advance world.
Long story short: Jenny with her sisters went and help save the world with a young woman name Aloy from the evil A.I. Hades from activating all the old war machines and the mountain size metal devils.
Now in the rebuilt GAIA Prime; Ms. Wakeman- Jenny's mom -was able to restart GAIA and get all the cauldrons under control. Stopping the animals from attacking humans and getting all the sub A.I.s back under Gaia's control.
Now she's the CEO of GAIA Prime that uses the teraforming technology to help make the world a better place. Like turning ruined fields into fertile fields, cleaning polluted waters, and using the bio-fuel that the grazer animals make into the new main fuel source instead of oil.
Jenny used the cauldrons to upgrade her sisters, giving them new bodies that are like hers.
Now each of them are scattered around the country to help protect the nation.
Seeing how Skyway Patrol was disbanded after the current government was formed- seeing how incompetent they are in doing anything without tons of paperwork being filed to do anything. Not to mention that they used a pigeon to deliver attack forms to let Skyway Patrol to do anything.
A new organization was formed named S.C.P. (Secure, Contain, Protect), which now is running all of the old Skyway Patrol bases and are actually doing the job in protecting people without all the paperwork that obstructed them before.
Jenny and her sisters are now working with the SCP- which is now being lead by Chales Goodwin, former head of 'the Agency' and good friend of Jenny's - in keeping the US safe. Containing any dangerous creatures and arresting people, placing them in cells designed to hold them.
Her world already had supervillains so there were already people who know how to safely contain people with superpowers. There are other agencies that deal with strange things too, like the one that dealt with a demon family and oni's who could summon ninjas. All of them are working together to handle any big treat.
Jenny and her sisters have also been called to help with big problems around the world. Like the crashed Blisk ship in Russia and stopping the aliens plans in irradiating the planet to make it their new home.
The XJ sisters stop the aliens and the new Russian government took over the crash site. But that was the easy part. As Russia was currently embroiled in a civil war to decide who was in control. With the Blisk secretly backing one of the sides till the XJ sisters exposed them. The Russian Civil war was dying down...but it was still messy. Other countries are either fighting their own civil wars or have split their countries apart.
Jenny and her sisters enjoy having people who like having them around. Not taking them for granted in all that they do in saving the day. They're also not seen as easily replaceable like their mom sees them, which is why all the sisters have been avoiding being alone with their mom.
Each of them are now either living in one of the cauldrons or an SCP site under Goodwins protection for their home base. Where they can recharge their power cells, refuel, and rearm themselves. And they been getting along with GAIA who they view as their aunt, who still send them to deal with rogue machines that appear now and then.
"For some reason the rogue machines have been appearing in the area around both Equestia and the Candy Kingdom," GAIA informed XJ9.
"Is there a unaccounted cauldron near there?" Asked XJ9.
"There isn't, but the machines aren't just mine. There are Robco robots showing up as well," said GAIA.
"Maybe a vault or a group of robots like Captain Ironside's crew?" Asked XJ9. "Or maybe someone like the Mechanist?"
"Yes, that's what I'm thinking as well,"said GAIA.
"So who's the closest?" Asked XJ9.
"XJ6 is the closest," said GAIA.
"Alright, better inform everyone who needs to know," said XJ9. She's happy that her sisters get to go around and save the day like her. More importantly, they're much happier for it.
But she doesn't go out as much anymore as she's stuck in her sector unless her sisters need help. On the other hand; she is now part of a REAL family and not just a project that her mom made and then turns off and replaces on a whim.
...
Sunset sat in her office as she looked over the latest sales reports and figures from all the assets that now belonged to her, now that her mother Celestia had stepped down.
She'd been forced to step down after Sunset dropped the bombshell that she abandoned her because she wasn't the tool wanted. Then replaced her with a student who would bark and jump when told.
Now she rules with her aunt Luna and cousin Cadance over Equestria in this new world.
Sunset prove herself as a ruler by heading the changes that were needed to be done to keep the kingdom together.
As a unicorn by birth who had been turned into a human- which she is now stuck as -she knows how both sides think and act. She managed to get Equestria be like a Native American land, once the new government began to get it's act together. They're self governing on the most part, but still follow the laws of the state and the federal.
Sunset had her hands full in getting the ponies to get use to the new worlds they're in and how much of their magic is now gone.
All the known spell casting magic is now gone. All the unicorns lost their spell casting magic save for limited telekinesis. The Pegasuses can still fly, but other then that are normal.
The Earth ponies are the only ones who can still pick things up with their hooves unlike the other two tribes. All ponies used to be able to pick up think with their hooves by magic, now they are forced to use their mouths and special hoof tools to pick things up now.
So in essence: No more spell casting magic, weather control, fast growing crops, cutie marks or the ability that came with it. Needless to say the ponies all panicked and ran around screaming.
Once she was on the throne, Sunset quickly went to work to get things into order.
First, she fired all the guards and having them replace by humans who actually do their job in protecting people instead of doing nothing and leaving it to a group of young ponies to do it instead.
The only way they would get their old jobs back would be retraining by human standards so that they at least show up during a crisis. Sunset got the excuse to fire them after seeing that during the changeling invasion they were nowhere to be found and only showed up afterwards. While the human police were the only one's helping ponies and people alike. both Luna and the real Cadance agreed with her. it didn't hurt that neither of them were there to help during the battle, the captain was under mind control and Celestia was doing a wedding when there was a threat to the kingdom... which further discredited her.
Sunset still had to go to school, but in her spare time she helped run things with Luna and Cadance. Who followed her plan in turning Equestria into a resort once things had settled down and there was a fully restored government to run the infrastructure.
Other countries weren't as lucky and are still in chaos, with other countries who got everything in order helping where they can.
As for the human counterparts of the ponies, the local government is still around helping to run the new Equestria.
Sunset plan to turn human Equestria into a resort town went well, the money was coming in from people who wanted time away from the chaos back home.
They also made money from the crops, the gem mines with the growing gem crystals and gold mines where the bits came from. And the biggest draw was of course people who went crazy over cute talking ponies.
The phone on Sunset's desk rang and she answers it. She talk to the person on the other end before ending the call. She began calling another number and waited for the person to pick up.
"Danny, I need you and Dani to look into something for me," Sunset said to her heroes for hire.
"What is it this time?" Danny asked his boss.
"It seems that the machines and robots that have been causing trouble are being drawn to here for some reason. Got a call from the SCP about one of the XJ sisters, 6 coming over to look into the matter. You and Dani while on patrol are to help her whenever you can," Sunset said.
"Right away boss," Danny said before hanging up.
"Calling on your hired heroes again?" a voice asked her.
"What is it Discord?" Sunset ask not bothering to look up from her paperwork.
"Oh you're no fun," Discord said appearing in front of her.
"Although unlike others, you retained your magic... You're just not that scary...at least compared to what the other worlds have to offer. Besides, after getting to know you. It's obvious that all you really needed were people who- unlike the ponies, who ran and scream if they couldn't control it -found you funny and wanted to be your friends,"said Sunset.
"Finally taking Celestia's lessons to heart?" Discord asked.
"She made a better teacher then mother," Sunset said bitterly. "That's why she's a teacher with her human counterpart."
"Well you are running things better and are much more open to new and different ideas. Like giving me a royal pardon after having served my time."
"The SCP have been imprisoning people like you ever since they were setup. And with your knowledge of things that are chaos in nature, it's better to have you around to help then being imprison. Mom just coddled the ponies too much, you know, they're still scared of humans because we eat meat," said Sunset annoyed.
"Yes, you eating porkchops at the royal party with the other meat eaters did shock many of the ponies."
"Well they just have to get use to it," said Sunset before looking up at Discord. "So why'd you drop by? Is it about Twilight?"
"Nope, sorry, Still can't find a hair of her,"
"She needs to be found. Cadance and Luna are worried sick about her, I thought she would be just mom's lap dog but she did try to expose the Changelings... till the merge did it for her."
"Yes, I have heard of things like that happening but never been apart of it before. Shorts out all magic when it happens no matter how powerful like the magic imprisoning me. But that Star Butterfly destroying most magic, now that's something else," said Discord in awe.
"That's why I have you on the payroll. You know things that no one else knows," said Sunset. It was Discord who revealed that originally Star's dimension would have only merged with the ones closest to hers. But because of so many people doing something that opened a hole in time and space at that very moment, the number of worlds merged got bigger... not to mention bits and pieces of others.
"Also there is something strange about Gravity Falls. The barrier between words is much weaker for one thing...and I've been finding magic here that I've never seen before..."
"Aunt Luna said the same thing when she first visited the town. What do you make of it?" asked Sunset.
"I have no idea. I heard of places that are designed to be a focal points for esoteric energy...maybe even trap certain beings or entities once they enter... but never encounter one myself," admitted Discord baffled.
"Well I guess I can always ask Star when she gets here. She and her family are coming to stay for the summer."
"Oh that's great, I always wanted to meet her."
"Well from what I was told, your show is a big hit at Echo Creek." .
"I really should had visited the human world when I had the chance. They're so much more fun then ponies," said Discord wishfully.
"The show wouldn't be held back by the shows budget if you had," pointed out Sunset.
"Also I heard that the bubblegum princess is up to something... again," said Discord with an eye roll that sent them spinning off his face.
"She's still not use to not being in charge anymore," said Sunset with a sigh.
"Having tracking devices on all of her subjects does that. The Land of Ooo is something that I would have loved to see when it was still a magical land. With all the different worlds mixing together caused a big mess, with how things work in one world no longer working at all. During our little card games Prismo told me how some worlds followed the mindset like- for example -a horror movie. All the dumb things like splitting up and the cops never showing up till it's all over is just how it works. Now in this merged universe, all of those things like that just don't work. Like all those martial artists who thought they could still beat anything just because they punch hard, it really hit them hard when they tried that on people armed with guns who weren't from their world," explained Discord.
"Speaking of which... there isn't any way for Prismo to just wish things back to how they were?" Asked Sunset.
"Nope, not to mention all of his wishes are 'monkey paw' wishes. All of his wishes always have a catch to them- Unless it was a very bad wish to begin with, like the Lich wishing for no life or it's worded just right. The only one who would be able to do it would be Glob, who is too extreme even for me. Even with Betty being merged with Glob...(Discord pauses to shudder) that's one door that nobody should never open. Besides with the entire universe merged with each other and all those pocket universes like my home. To just rip them apart would cause more problems then solve them," elaborated Discord.
"So anyway of contacting someone who can?" Sunset asked.
"The ones who do are the 'beyond good or evil' types that don't care enough to help- Unless its something that cause the universe they're in charge of to be destroyed -And Prismo told me that his boss and the others are ok with the changes and are working together to keep things in order," admited Discord.
"Of course," Sunset sighed. "What is Bubblegum doing?"
"The usual, spying on people and keeping her people safe, undercutting you in sales in candy. y'know the usual" Discord said haughtily.
"Of course she is," said Sunset irritated, having taken a dislike to Bubblegum for all of her spying and hidden plans. It Reminded her too much of her mom...
"She is also been studying all the things that happen in Gravity Falls. She's been sending Fin and Jake in to look around and take pictures of all the people living there and other things."
"Any ideas?" Sunset asked.
"Nothing we didn't already know...save for how much pixies can puke," said Discord with peverse interest.
"At least Tartarus is up and running to hold the sapient ones that are dangerous."
"Celly really didn't like you handing over the prison for the deal you made with the government."
"It's not like there was any reason to hold onto it. All the prisoners escaped when the merge happen. besides, take away for the magic cells and the only security was the Cerberus," pointed out Sunset. (4)
"Well whatever they're doing there is big," noted Discord, having seen all the construction going on over there.
"Their Building it to be a real prison and expanding it. Locking away people and things that are simply too dangerous to ever be allowed to be let loose," revealed Sunset.
"Like the Changeling Queen?"
"I have no idea where they locked her away. The Changelings magic mostly disappeared and the only one that didn't change was her."
"Well, I have a show to do," said Discord with a dramatic swish of a cape that had just appeared as he transforms into a bird and flew out the window.
Sunset went back to working on the plans she had to keep Equestria running.
Not to mention the school work she still needed to do. She might be a ruler of Equestria, but she is still underage and expected to have an education.
And the only reason why she goes to the same school, is that it be too much of a bother to go to one of those ivy schools that are still running. Not to mention she's already dealing with stuck up nobles who think they're better then anyone else...

TO BE CONTINUED?
...III ...
1 - With how much of a crapsack world Invader Zim's Earth is with almost all the humans very dumb to the point where someone like Zim can do what he does and no one even notice him. People from a more realistic setting would avoid them at all cost.
2 - The sad part is that even with a school that has monsters and other non humans going to it with the human children. It's still school with all the pains that come with it.
3 - The fictions where people actually know about the magical and supernatural world and do their best to live with each other is low. Thanks to it's just makes a better story for the magic world to remain fearful that the muggles will always just go to war just because of how people acted in the past. Instead of making a plot where it's the younger generation who made the changes and stop listening to their elders in how to act towards each other. Like in real life where younger people who don't care about what so and so did in the past, makes a friend out of someone according to how the elders say they should be bitter enemies.
4 - With how useless all the guards are, I'm surprise how one 3 headed guard dog kept the big bad villains from escaping.

Dipper was busy as he stacked the shelves with packages of candy from the Candy Kingdom as well as Willy Wonka's candy.
Both her and Mabel are working for the summer in The Mystery Shack where many attractions are displayed: like the Ham-pire; a piece of ham with vampire teeth is on display, a flesh eating blanket that is kept behind a plastic cage, An old army canteen that never runs out of water, a bottle of cough syrup that also never runs dry- which Stan bottles and sells as Mystery Water and Mystery cough syrup. -A chair that farts whenever you sit on it, a giant stone head that breaths, a wheel from an ancient ship that creaks, groans, and occasionally thunders, 4 jars of red, green, blue, and yellow slime that all sing in a wordless, barbershop style harmony, a Dollar Bill vending machine; It is a autmoaton that has the upper body of a man dressed in a old-timey way which can still talk and greet customers.
There is even a kinetoscope that shows a Battleship Bay of Columbia before the floating city came crashing down after both the merge and Columbia attacking New York City in their world.(1)
Which was a good thing as many of the white survivors were old-fashioned bigots. Needless to say, their former slaves were finding this world more welcoming then what they had before.
The racist survivors had been scattered around the country so that their toxic city couldn't be remade, many of them are struggling to make ends meet.
With how they think and act, many quickly found themselves being beaten or killed. While others found that there were little jobs open to them.
Which forced many of them to settle near the crash site of their old city, Which left the survivors building a ramshackle settlement where they struggle eke out a living.
They were so desperate to put food on the table, Stan managed to scam many surviving items out from Columbia.
Like the Dimwit and Duke puppets still in their Flawless Flinklock arcade machine, some toys, a voxophone, a big doll in the shape of a birdman robot, A working Sky-hook in a glass case, and a display of a dozen silver eagles.
But the centerpiece of the Shacks Columbia exhibit was a complete collection of Vigor bottles: Old Man Winter; a blue bottle with the upper head of an old, bearded and bald man, Ironsides; a bottle shaped like a ship, Peeping Tom; a green bottle shaped like a woman covering her chest with a folding hand fan, Possession; a green bottle with a woman reclining on top, Bucking Bronco; a bronze bottle with the upper half of a horse and a cowboy riding on it, Murder of Crows; a blue and black bottle with a crow's head, Devil's Kiss; a red bottle shaped like a female demon, Shock Jockey; a purple bottle with a jockey riding a lightning bolt on top, Charge; a green bottle shaped like a ram's head, Undertow; a blue bottle with a tentacle for the cork, and Return to Sender; a bronze bottle shape like an ancient Greek soldier.
Sadly, all of them are strictly for display and empty. From what Dipper had heard; there's a big black market for Vigors and their Plasmid counterparts.
Dipper has been reading/collecting a lot of newspaper articles since the merge to keep up with all the 'goings ons.'
Some are about places he never heard about while others are about more normal things. Like one article showed how the lesser known tech company Prometheus labs had somehow successfully bought out the assets of the the now defunct companies of Aperture Science and Black Messa.
The article briefly recaps how black Mesa was apparently merged while it was conducting a very dangerous interdemensional experiment. Details were sketchy, but it seems the merge had blunted most of the consequences that COULD have happened. But even then, it still devastated the nearby cities.
Most of the staff was arrested and the companies assets was liquidated. As for Aperture science...well it was basically a death trap run by a lunatic, so that was liquidated as well.
It briefly mentioned how the new government agency SCP were still helping with the ongoing Vortignaut refugee crisis; before summing up the article on how Prometheus lab had now reorganized/renamed itself as the now possibly future tech superpower Anderson Robotics... Which was now offering a large reward for info on the missing S.S. Borealius. (2)
Mabel was busy out back tending the live attractions that people paid to feed: One is a piranha plant, the Scampfire; a spider-like thing that is a living campfire that people buy overprice marshmallows to feed, 5 vampire fruit bats in a large walk-in bird cage, a Jackalope in its own pen and the shacks new guard dog; a orthros named Frank who is a two headed dog from Equestria.
There is also the strider; a machine animal that Stan used to make a bio-fuel called blaze, which it makes from the plant matter it eats.
There is also two other human employees who work at the shack with them. There's Soos the handyman of the shack who can fix just about anything and Wendy who works behind the counter.
There is also the Mr. Handy that Stan somehow got his hands on who occasionally lends a hand and repairs the machines around the shack. Stan named him Rusty since he was coated in rust before Soos fixed him. Both the twins were told not to bother the Mr. Handy as it is dangerous if handled wrong.
The Mr. Handy's are from the Robco company that makes them as well as the Protectrons. Because of them being radioactive, having them around is controversial. But because of how useful they are; people either ignore that or have them rebuilt to use the power cells of machine animals instead.
Of course there are also the rogue ones and malfuncntioning older models that are still around. Dipper has no idea if the Mr. Handy Stan has is one of the older types or not. But Rusty did have the pincer arms, buzz-saws and torch arms that are mostly associated with the rouge types...or at least the one's you read about snapping and murdering their owners...
So needless to say both Dipper and Mable eagerly obeyed Stan's command to stay away from Rusty...just in case...
Stan has also showed the twins around town. Since the merge, people have been moving into town for a cheaper place to live. There is a lot of construction work being done around the town with new homes, apartment buildings, and businesses being built.
There is also a mall in the town which is also a big draw for people who both drive along the highway and live in the nearby town of Peach Creek which doesn't have a mall...or much of anything really...it's kind of a dump really...
Peach Creek was a suburban town that ended up next to Gravity Falls after the merge, it consisted of many semi-built houses sitting on the edge of some larger town that could once be seen looming away on the horizon. It's been theorized that these houses were never meant to be finished and it was all a big 'tax haven' scam...well, that or it was just one of those weird little quirks some worlds seem to get...
Despite this, Peach Creek still maintained its suburban roots; with all types of greenery including the woods and the creek.
Yet Peach Creek also some traces of urban development; such as the junkyard, the aforementioned construction site and the trailer park.
It also had a downtown area with many highways leading in and out. later on, the highways were either destroyed or became apart of the new highway that leads out to all the other nearby lands.
There was also the Maw, which is now like one of those mega sci-fi mega cities. When it first appeared after the merge, people didn't know what it was till they looked inside and found the horror show within.
There were these sagging, gluttonous creatures that look human but were so big and fat. They attacked and ate some of the first people who entered the Maw.
This prompted the highway patrol and local police to seal it off till the swat team and National Guard could be sent to handle it. but with all the chaos that was happening after the merge, this took many days to happen. By then the 'guests'- as they were so named in the ships logbook -had eaten just about everything and each other.
A search of the ship found the now dead owner of the Maw, who is a tall, slender woman who dressed as a geisha and wore a mask to hide her ugly face. Her personal journals were in a strange script- but seemed to reveal much of her world, what happens to the guests who board the Maw, and the children that she brought aboard to be made into food, slaves or currency.
As the search of the Maw continued they dealt with the remaining guests and the giant leeches that walk on two legs.
They also found the remaining children who still lived, as well as the gnome-like creatures who used to be children, the Janitor who was found dead with both his arms cut off, An old woman-like creature was found drowned in the lower levels, Shadow creatures with porcelain masks who died in the light, a creature found in the shoe pit that was promptly hunted and killed.
But for the two chefs... they found no trace of them...
The children were frightened of the place and refused to go back there for any reason...that plus the violent deaths and clear signs of unidentified dark magic lead to Sunset calling Danny to check the place out for potential hauntings...
He found...nothing. Which was strange...even from words that had no ghosts...once it came to a place like Gravity Falls- ESPECIALLY if the deaths were violent and happened in a place full of troubled history and the aformentioned dark magic like the Maw- there would at least be SOME kind of ghostly echo or ecto-distortion...but there was nothing...ZILCH...it was oddly unsettling...Danny strongly recommended not using this place for anything...he had a REALLY bad feeling about it...
Unfortunately, once it was empty. The Maw become home to people that had nowhere else to go. First was the house people looking for a safe place to live, along with Donny the grass ogre. Followed by more and more as time went by. But it only REALLY took off after Lumpy Space Princess moved in after talking Marceline the vampire queen and Simon Petrikov into helping out.
Simon was uncomfortable, both because of Danny's warning and the fact they knew almost nothing about the Maw and the world it came from...but between LSP's insistence and the flow of desperate homeless people...he reluctantly agreed on the condition that he be elected mayor to keep an eye on things and that their stay here would only be temporary until new homes were built for them.
They also brought in a bunch of Mr. Handy's, Protectrons, and Securitrons who act as guards and maintenance.
How Lumpy Space Princess found these robots, reprogramed them and brought them to the Maw... is a VERY long story that many just give up on listing to. As Lumpy Space Princess just kept going on and on for hours as well as kept changing the story with each retelling.
"...I totally seduced a mad scientist to build them for me with my smoking bod!..."
"...I found them in a New Las Vegas circus and liberated them!..."
"...and then Brad said 'No way!' And I was like 'Yes way!' And Britney was like, 'Oh, no you didn't girl!'..."
...and this went on and on...
Simon used the robots to rebuild the Maw. Some parts became living spaces, other parts became a factory where the waste and trash was sorted and recycled, with the rest being used to make fuel for the many engines of the Maw.
This same power used for the engines was now being used to power the local energy grid, which is how the Maw makes money.
Then there was als Equestria and the Candy Kingdom. Which both Dipper and Mabel are very interested to see as well.
Not to mention that with the Camp Lakebottom grand opening- for all human and non human children to learn to become friends with each other -There'll be plenty of kids of all kinds for them to meet over the summer.
With all the things that they can do, Dipper figures that it will be a interesting summer after all...
"Dipper I need you to go into the forest and put up some signs," Said Stan handing Dipper a hammer, nails and the signs.
"Alright," said Dipper grabbing the things he needs. But he wonders why he's so willing to do it, like there's something telling him to just do it.
"And remember if you see some strange creature in the woods... Make sure they use currency that I can use before you tell them how to get to the shack. I'm tried of those guys trying to barter or trade something like acorns and berries," Said Stan irritably.
"Yes Stan," Said Dipper as he left the shack with something guiding him as if he had already walk the path long ago.
Walking into the wood Dipper began to hammer up signs in places that he felt like he'd already done so BEFORE.
Indeed, Ever since the merge he kept having flashes of a rundown apartment and something that looks to be Mabel with a pig skull for a head... saying they're be together FOREVER.
As a result..He's found himself doing things more and more himself and spending less and less time with Mabel who wants him to be with her more...
As Dipper walked through the woods, he spotted some people and other things in the forest. He spotted someone in a yellow raincoat running through the woods with a plastic bag in their hands.
Wendy and Soos told him about someone digging in the trash and running off when anyone came close during the first couple of months of the merge, since then 'yellow coat' is only seen every now and then.
Walking up a hill, Dipper got a good overview of some parts of the town and the lake. He also looks over to where the summer camp is located at.
He did spot a pair, a man and a woman who are dressed alike... But couldn't make out more no matter how hard he tried. what DID catch his eyes was that they're dressed as if they came out of the 1800's or something.
He also spotted someone in a dark suit walking away from him into the forest, and the only thing he could make out was their bald head that's pale. Dipper just dismissed it though; as since the merged, someone like that isn't out of place anymore compared to so much weirder creatures and people walking about.
Then Dipper came across a pine tree that's covered in moss and mushrooms. The tree drew him in as if he needed to go to it.
Dipper didn't know how he knew, he just felt around the trunk till he found the hidden compartment that's been curved into it.
Opening a secret metal door revealed a machine of some kind and he just flipped the switch on top of it. Opening another hidden compartment this time on the ground nearby.
Looking down into the hole; he saw an old book with golden hand print on the cover, which had six fingers on it.
He reach in and pulled the book out, blowing the dust away and began flipping through the book but felt like he was rereading something he had read before...
...
Sunset walk down the hall to greet the guests that have just arrived.
During summer, Sunset is able to go back to important work instead of wasting time in school.
Said school had also been merged with the castle. Resulting in some construction here and there to separate what's the school and what's castle.
As a result of this, the government work is done in the town hall of human Equestria. While the castle part of the school has become the residents of the royal family and staff. As well as a dorm for students who live on campus and for V.I.P. guests for the castle part.
The school is still a high school for grades 7 to 12, but what use to be the royal guard section is now a community college.
Basically the whole castle/school has been separated into three parts that are walled off from each other.
With construction still going on to build more buildings for the different schools. The college part is still being built and new buildings being added to the other parts of castle as well.
Once Sunset fired the guards and moved the government parts to the human government buildings, it freed alot of space in the castle for the school part.
For guards, Sunset just hired human guards to replace the pony ones. The few ponies who remained had been required to be retrained by human standards before they were allowed their jobs back.
Sadly, the royal guards was more security force then army. Which was yet another problem Sunset needed to fix if Equestria was to remain independent.
"Sunset," the pony Celestia said as she caught up with her daughter.
She's been adjusting to life without magic or being able to move the sun around anymore. She'd woken up many times trying to move the sun... only to remember that she could no longer do that.
But The biggest change was that she no longer wore her crown as it now belonged to her daughter Sunset. Who is nothing like the little pony she remembered... Sunset coldly made it very clear that SHE was the one who made her into the person she was now.
"What do you want?" Sunset asked angrily. Their relationship is still a cold one since the merge with Sunset barely talking to her.
"It's about the changes that you have done," Explained Celestia. "Disbanding the army has caused much unrest."
"If any of the old staff want their jobs back, they just have to let themselves be retrained into doing them by human standards. The guards you had originally were a joke. When was the last time they actually did anything besides cleaning up afterwards?
Besides, the human guards I hired actually do their jobs instead of just waiting for someone else to do it for them. And I didn't fired all of them, I reassigned some of them to other jobs."
"You have the Wonderbolts doing air shows for the tourists."
"And the remaining guards are just for show, while the real guards are behind the scene. What's your point?"
"There are many who are now jobless."
"Being a mother to all of your ponies, just not the one that actually mattered," Said Sunset with a derisive snort. Causing Celestia to stop as she stared at Sunset.
"Sunset please, I know I wasn't the mother you needed... But the ponies are still scared of all the changes," Said Celestia remembering how their first meeting ended with her in tears over losing any bond she once had with her daughter.
"And that's the reason why they need me to lead them. They're too used to you handling everything for them, which is why they're having such a hard time adjusting to our new world!
No more magic or being able to control their environment anymore just for starters!. They also have to stop using bits and using the currency that the rest of the nation uses.
The only reason things aren't worse is thanks to how I've been taking charge of things. Do you have any idea how many deals I had to make just so Equestria would stay independent?" Asked Sunset with ever increasing ire.
"Many, I have seen the files that Luna and Cadance have shared with me," admitted Celestia.
"Knowing that the ponies wouldn't survive without a princess leading and telling them what to do. I had to make choices that you refused to make. I managed to get us the status of a reservation so that we can still have self-governance. I turned Equestria into a popular holiday spot for the nations of this new world.
Need I remind you that Equestria grew most of our food and traded for what we couldn't grow? Between the farms suffering from lack of earth pony magic, inability/refusal of the earth poonies to adapt and the mines of gems and metals no longer up to the standards of the other races that came with us...the economy was in a downward spiral before I took charge!
The tourism industry is the only thing that's keeping Equestria afloat. So I have to take steps to keep the industry fatcats and the tourist happy. This includes striping away many rights, privliges and other things that the ponies once took for granted. Giving out land leashes to sell land so that hotels and businesses can be built...Yes, I know doing so forced the ponies who use to live there out... But it's either that or total economic collapse with us losing our independents like others who tried the same thing," Sunset explains.
"They fear you," Pointed out Celestia.
"What's your point?" Asked Sunset nonchalantly.
"Don't you want to be loved by them?" Celestia implored.
" Pretty Pointless to ask seeing how well that turned out for you," said Sunset coldly.
"Sunset you spread fear with what you're doing and then there's the selling off so many relics and artifacts. You have emptied most of the treasury and have been taking assets from ponies."
"Do you have any idea how much it cost to modernize a country that had it's entire economy based on farming? Especially when said farming largely depended on a magic that no longer works?
I would have to retool the farms that are left, teach the ponies to abandon their traditions so that they won't lose their farms, get them modern equipment, and have it all custom made to be used by ponies just to get started!
For the moment It's just easier to abandon that and go with a tourist based economy. Even after stripping most of the junk from the castle and emptying the vaults, it still wasn't enough! I then had to take out loans from banks to have the funding for all of it. The ponies just belly ache about all the things I have to do just to keep this kingdom afloat when we're so deep in the red." (3)
"You're being a tyrant to them," Pleaded Celestia.
"I'm trying to save this country for the few people I still give a crap about. And if that means I have to be the bad guy to get things done around here, so be it! With how the ponies are like, I have to practically kick them in the pants to accept that there's no going back to how things use to be.
Besides, the humans and other races do appreciate what I have been doing. Especially seeing how the ponies used to have more rights then other races under your rule. It's only thanks to our human counterparts that we haven't gone bankrupt yet. Mostly due to they're willingness to give up things short-term so that things won't become worse long-term unlike your ponies," Stated Sunset in a blunt, unapologetic.
"I did what I did to protect our subjects," defended Celestia.
"And under your rule the ponies always had more rights, their word always carried more weight, they could just dump their children onto other relatives or just let them take care of themselves for years at a time, build anywhere they want without first making sure that no one else uses that piece of land, not to mention allowing them be bigots to any race that isn't like them.
Now that I have striped them of those rights as well as others- that plus the fact this world can't be controlled like the old one -the ponies are being fearful.
Mainly because of how much of a control freak they all are. Everfree forest is just a normal forest but is a nightmare and a place of evil because nature there takes care of itself.
Not to mention that cutie marks are how ponies tell what job they're suited for. They then refuse to work in any other field but that. And that's assuming their talent isn't one that would disallow them to work a job.
In any case, it's all a moot point now. In a magicless world, that's all meaningless now. So I got rid of that old system and striped the nobles of their power. Seeing how they didn't do anything to help me or anything else after the merge,"
"They pester me to have their status back," Said a now very hurt Celestia who was increasingly weary of all her failures being thrown back in her face...
"As if that changes anything, you don't have any real power anymore. With the world changing, many of the ex-nobles lost their wealth and power they once had. I just took away their meaningless titles. Yes it's all they had left for many, but there is no reason to put up with nobles who don't do anything," continued Sunset.
"Which is also why you're a teacher now. Seeing how little you actually do to with things that matter. And yes I already know about your 'plan' in regards to teaching Twilight.
Being the tricksters mentor, sending her and her ex-friends to handle every problems. you didn't even help when Discord broke free, yes sending her all those reports DID help her... but other then that you did nothing else!
And look what that got you: Her mental state was so messed up that once she saw you as I see you, it completely broke her view of the world around her, causing her to break down. Instead of putting her into a mental ward like I wanted to. You just gave her to her parents to look after her, which allowed her to escape and disappear," scolded Sunset.
"I know that I failed you and her-" Began Celestia before getting interrupted.
"Then stop helping and thinking that you have any say in anything anymore! If I didn't go and get the human police to help, the changelings would had taken over! For all of your big talk of 'making friends', you don't have friends just subjects. Who you treated better then me who you should've cared about more.
But then again you banished aunt Luna to the moon all by herself. So why should I ever think you could be a mother," Said Sunset as she stormed off, leaving Celestia in tears again.
Once outside, Sunset saw the bus with the Butterfly family. Star with her parents River and Moon, Eclipsa, her husband Globgor, their daughter Meterora, they also brought along the Diaz family with their children Marco and Mariposa, there is also Pony Head a floating unicorn head, Kelly a woolett, and Buff Frog with his kids who are going to be taken on another bus to camp Lakebottom.
While looking at the frog children. Sunset remembered that two of them were conjoined by their heads but with some surgery, they're now separate. With metal skull caps where they use to be connected.
They're not the only royal family either as there is Melody from the underwater kingdom. She's going to Camp Lakebottom and her grandfather King Triton asked Sunset to keep an eye on her.
This was a great opportunity for Sunset and Equestria. For his kingdom had control of that underwater city Rapture and all it's advance technology and plasmids. She hoped to get on friendly terms with his granddaughter so she can stamp out a good trade deal with him.
There is also Korra the avatar who still has her powers like other benders, she just can't use the avatar state anymore. Joining her was Asami Sato, both of whom are spending the summer here as a much needed vacation.
"Welcome to Equestria," Greeted Sunset as she walks up to the guests and gives them the grand tour. She really needed to sell them a great vacation and bring in more people with deeper pockets...
...
The 3 original camp Lakebottom counselors: Sawyer a lovable zombie; with a multipurpose tool taking the place of his left hand, Armand a Sasquatch with a passion for performing arts, and Rosebud a short, bitter woman who serves as the camp's cook. They all trembled with excitement
All 3 of them are excited to have their summer camp having been remodeled and made bigger, as the summer camp was intended to help humans and non humans to make friends with each other. Kids from all races and across the country even some from other countries are coming over for the summer. Even their first 3 campers were also coming back: McGee, Gretchen, and Squirt.
With how big the camp has gotten thanks to donations and private funding, they hired more workers for the camp.
There's David and Gwen who were camp counselors for their old camp Cambell, with Quartermaster the groundskeeper.
The camp had also been merged with camp Everfree. This was after the merge put the camp- As well as the owners Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce -in the middle of the Everfree forest with all the dangerous animals in it. Thankfully, their camp was quickly moved with the help of a gumball guardian who just carried the empty buildings and placed them in their new home of Lakebottom.
There is also Mr. Slinkman who is a smart, nice and friendly banana slug who has legs and arms. He came to work for the camp after Camp Kidney was closed down after scout master Lumpus was arrested.
There is also Huntress Wizard who after losing her magic, learned archery and will now teach it to others.
Harry Potter, who moved to the states after the merged and is working at the camp.
The security guards for the camp; Sasha Nein, Razputin Aquato, Lili Zanotto, Milla Vodello and Oleander. All 5 of them use to be Psychonauts before the government agency closed it's doors when their funding got cut. Seeing how they're skilled with their psychic powers, they made good security for the summer camp.
Then there's Bill the swim teacher who is also a gillman. Violet who is a sphinx. Sam a pigman who is also the camp's nurse. Mesa who is a 20 foot tall Treewoman. Then there are some local teens of Gravity Falls working there for the summer: Lee, Nate, Tambry, and Thompson.
The buses are unloading campers who are made up of many different races. The children are being broken up into groups, with girls one side and the boys on the other. Where they waited in line as David and Gloriosa Daisy sat at tables checking off names and assigning the kids cabins.
There are also 4 Protectron's who were gifted to the camp, two fire bridadiers who have internal cryo-guns, a utility one and a guardian, 5 Eyebots that can keep track of the campers on walks through the woods, and a Mr. Handy who helps out in the kitchen.
"Hi Jake," Greeted Juniper as she spotted her fellow magical guardian. She isn't alone, as her friends Jody Irwin, Ophelia Ramirez, Roger Radcliffe, and Lila came along for the trip. As well as Monroe who had tagged along for research of the magic of Gravity Falls.
Both of Jun's brothers had stayed home as she wanted to really hang out with her friends for a change. Both Ray Ray and Dennis are looking after things back home, with them having made friends with some of the new non-humans that showed up after the merged.
"Hi Juniper, it's nice to see you face to face," Said Jake shaking her hand.
"Cool, we finally get to meet your west coast counterpart," Spud said.
"Hi girl," Trixie said as she and Rose walk over to them having collected their bags from the bus.
"Hi Monroe," Fu Dog said to his fellow magical dog.
"So here because of the strange magic?" Juniper ask.
"You too?" Jake ask.
"Yeah," Juniper said.
"You guys are here to study magic too?" Lincoln asked standing behind the group with Ronnie, Clyde and Dib.
"Hey aren't you guys the ones who exposed that green alien with that lame getup that fooled everyone in 'The City'?" Rose ask.
"Yeah, that's us. But it's less impressive then it sounds. I mean all he wore was a wig and contacts. I can't believe people in the City are that dumb," Said Ronnie in disbelief.
"Try being one of the few smart people who had to LIVE there," Said Dib rolling his eyes.
"So we're all here to see what's with all the strange magic here?" Juniper ask and got nods in agreement.
"Is it passive or spell casting?" Jody ask.
"Passive," Fu Dog said.
"There isn't any spell casting magic left," Monroe said. (4)
"Oh, my good children! Never make 'negative claims' like that! Have you personally traveled the world? Looked under ever rock? Experimented on every form of life? Absence of proof is not itself proof! Such logical fallacies have taken down the best of scientists! Never forget 'burden of proof'!" Shouted Sasha as he busily walked past busily carried some lab equipment...
The kids looked after the man confused...
"Did you understand any of that?"
"Not a word"
"Uh...well, in any case; we have collected magical items from around the world to see if the magic here recharges them," Said Clyde hoping to get the conversation back on track.
"Or you can just ask the magical creatures of Gravity Falls," Pointed out Lila.
"Are there any sasquatch's besides Armand here?" Ophelia asked.
"Just abominable Bro-Man," Lila said.
"He has a blog and he's a total bro, showing all the bro stuff he does living in his mountain cave," Said Roger exasperated.
"Wait how does...," Trixie began asking but stopped as she realized that wasn't the strangest thing she'd head of since the merge.
A scream caught everyone's attention as a golfcart with a boy and a girl came crashing through the treeline. The cart twisted and turned as the boy driving the cart avoided campers and camp staff alike... At least until they came to Mesa who simply grabbed the cart and lifted it off the ground with the wheels spinning.
"Would you stop it," Said Mesa flatly to Dipper who removed his foot from the pedal.
"YOU ALL NEED TO RUN!" Mabel shouted.
"From what?" Juniper ask.
"GNOMES ARE COMING!" Dipper shouted.
"You mean those little guys with the pointy hats? What's so scary about them?" Asked Jake.
Bursting out of the forest came a giant just as tall as Mesa. The giant took the form of gnome, which is in turn made up of hundreds of gnomes all holding onto each other.
The giant gnome came charging into the camp, sending campers running away from it.
Mesa place the golf cart on the ground and charge at the giant gnome. Unfortunately, the gnomes simply opened up a hole in their collective. they let the tree woman go through while tripping her, sending her falling to the ground.
She also fell onto some of the security team of psychics who were running up from behind the gnome to stop it. The Protectrons and Eyebots flew into action as they used their blasters to stun the gnomes, knocking gnomes off the giant.
The giant swung its arm sending several gnomes flying at Mabel and Dipper as living missiles before turning their attention to the robots and camp workers.
The gnomes grab onto Dipper and Mabel, knocking them out of the cart.
Juniper and the other kids came to their aid, knocking the gnomes away. Hoping to get them to safety while the giant gnome was busy knocking down the robots and camp workers.
Jake meanwhile, transformed into his dragon form and began breathing fire at the giant gnome. Forcing it backwards as the gnomes avoided the flames. This worked until the giant gnome grabbed a log that's used for campers to sit on and used it to knock Jake down to the ground. With him landing near the other kids who had fought off the gnomes that held Dipper and Mabel, causing them to flee back to the giant gnome and going back to their places in the giant.
The giant gnome loomed over the children. But suddenly stops and stared at something behind the children.
The children turn around to see a column of water raising out of the lake. The column transform into a giant fist and grab the giant gnome, taking it within itself.
The water began to twist and turn breaking the giant apart as the gnomes lost their grips with each other. Then a ball of water with all the gnomes came flying out and was thrown deep into the forest. Only a waterlogged Jeff remained...
"Good thing I was here," Said Korra as she and the rest of the tour group lead by Sunset went along with Buff Frog to see the summer camp where his kids will be staying at.
"That's one bad guy taken care of," Star said.
"No that's not the bad guy," said a still freaked out Mabel.
"Say what?" Asked Star confused.
"That was just the minions," explained Dipper.
"Then who's the bad guy?" Asked Korra concerned.
A shriek from the air got everyone's attention as a giant winged creature slam down from the sky, landing on top of the bus. The eyes of the giant's bird-like head turned from yellow to red upon seeing it's target.
Standing over 15 feet tall is the guardian of the fallen city in the sky; Songbird. Mesa got back up and joined Globgor, who grew into a giant to get between Songbird and the kids. Keeping him at bay as it faced off against two people who are as big as it is. They are quickly joined by the other camp workers, security team and the robots.
"Someone explain what's going on?" Shouted Juniper in the middle of a flip.
"Jeff- who I at first thought was a zombie -was really just a bunch of gnomes dressed up so they could kidnap my sister Mabel," Dipper explains.
"And Jeff here," Mabel pointed to the lone gnome who hadn't run away. "Were going to offer me to that bird thing."
"Hey now, Songbird over there has been forcing me and the other gnomes to find young girls for him," Said a weary Jeff as the kids crowded around him.
"What for?" Jake asked.
Jeff sighed, "He's looking for a girl that he once protected but disappeared after his city fell from the sky. He's has been looking for her since. He made his home in our part of the forest about a week ago. He forced us to search and find a young girl with brown hair and out-going personality. Then bring her back to him to see if she's the one he seeks."
"And if I wasn't?" Mabel asked nervously.
"Weeeeell... we were MAYBE...planning to make you our queen by forcing you to marry all of us gnomes," Jeff admitted reluctantly.
"Really? There aren't any female gnomes around here?" Jake asked a bit disturbed yet morbidly curious.
"All this just so that Songbird can find the girl he's looking for?" Asked Juniper in disbelief.
Jeff shrugged."Hey, It's better then how he use to do things before he enslaved us. Back then just flew around till he spotted a girl, grabbed her, realizes it's not her and then just drop her," He explains to the horror of the kids.
"Wait he's the monster that's been grabbing and dropping girls?" Lincoln asked making sure to get between it and Ronnie. Ronnie huffs annoyed but still blushes a bit.
"Good, that means I can do this," Said Huntress Wizard as she has suddenly reappeared armed with a bow and arrows.
She unleashes an arrow at Songbird's head which sadly just bounces off it's armor. Songbird gave out a screech as it attempted to fly, but was tackled by both Mesa and Globgor who's combine weight kept it from flying.
But Songbird proved it's strength as it sent Mesa and Globgor flying by twisting it's body side to side. The robots open fire on Songbird- their blasters still set to stun because of the children present -Huntress continues to fire arrows at Songbird, aiming for it's head and eyes.
The psychics used PSI-Blasts and pyrokinesis on Songbird, but did little damage to the machine birdman thing. Songbird cried out as it flapped its wings to knock both the Eyebots and Protectrons out of the air, followed by the psychics. Korra struck it with a jet of water/ lightning combo, causing Songbird to jerk around in agony.
Songbird shriek in rage as it punched at Korra with it's claws, making Korra jump backwards from the blows.
Jake in his dragon form slam into Songbird's side, followed by an arrow to his eye by Huntress Wizard causing it to shriek in pain.
Jake quickly lit Songbird on fire, but this proved to be useless as Songbird is fireproof. But it did allow Globgor the time he needed to grow bigger then Songbird and kick it into the lake. Korra quickly followed this up by creating ice around Songbird trapping it.
"You think that stopped it?" Juniper asked cautiously. She'd stayed back to guard that kids. As without her powers Songbird was way out of her weight class.
"Nope," Lincoln said as cracks form on the ice, followed by Songbird bursting out of the ice enraged.
ZAP!
Twin beams of energy struck Songbird sending it falling back in the water. Flying over the camp came Danny and Dani in their ghost forms. They flew over the crowd and tackled Songbird, bringing it underwater.
The water's surface bubbled as the 3 fought underwater, with a energy beam bursting out every now and then. Songbird burst out of the water trying to escape, only to be hit by a missile, sending it falling again.
XJ6 came from the sky and plunged into the lake to join the underwater fight. The water surface bubbled till it stopped...Everyone watched in trepidation...Who would emerge victorious?
SPLASH!
XJ6 arose from the water, her arms wrapped around the now broken Songbird as she and the two phantoms ascended into the air.
"XJ6, glad to see you!" Dib waved to her. He knows her through his dad who helped improve and upgrade XJ6's and her sisters weapons and systems.
"Hi Dib don't worry about this guy. We'll take him to a place that will hold him," said XJ6 as she and the phantoms flew off to the newly remade prison of Tartarus.
"At last, Songbird is gone. Now me and the other gnomes can find a new queen," Jeff said as he looks at Mabel.
"No way," Shouted Mabel annoyed.
"Listen why don't you gnome just find yourselves some female gnomes? They'd be your size," offered Juniper diplomatically.
"But there aren't any female gnomes," said Jeff with a defeated sigh.
"Wait, then how...," Trixie began asking before she realized what being the gnome queen REALLY ...and naturally went VERY pale..and more then a little green...as did many others...
"Listen, you gnomes of Gravity Falls can't be doing the 'queen bee' thing anymore. There are female gnomes out there if you really want a wife," expalined Jake.
"There are?" Jeff asked amazed.
"Sure, I can show you some dating sites," Fu Dog offerd.
"You mean.. as in using one of those computers?" Jeff asked now rather doubtful.
"Oh man you guys really are isolated here aren't you?" Realized Monroe.
"Hey you two," Lincoln alled to the twins.
"My name is Dipper and she's Mabel," Dipper introduced him and his sister to the group.
"Is this normal?" Lincoln asked.
"Can't really say," Said Dipper with a shrug.
"Yeah, we've only been here a couple of days," Mabel admited.
"At least things started off as an action packed one," Clyde stated happily.
"Sure, a GREAT start... we encountered a bunch of gnomes who have a 'queen bee' thing and a machine birdman who killed dozens of girls," said Ophelia sarcastically.
"Yeah, but we now live in a world where things like that is easy to handle," pointed out Roger.
"And XJ6 and the phantoms are here," adds Ronnie .
"There's that," conceded Jody.
"Hey Jeff, has there ever been a magical guardian or whatever who kept the human and magical world in balance in your world?," Jake asked the gnome curious.
Jeff shook his head, "Nope, there has never been anyone like that. We only began interacting with the humans when we saw there's no point in hiding anymore."
"Just great," Juniper groaned as she and Jake realized that they'll be the ones who are going to have handle things like old times...yet again...
...
After Sunset gave ownership of Tartarus to the government, they made it into a Federal Supermax Isolation prison. Which is under the control of the new government agency; S.C.P. or Secure, Contain, Protect. Who handle all supernatural and paranormal threats to the earth ...at least...that's what they told her...she's still going through the paperwork...
Since the ownership changed, Tartarus has been expanded and upgraded with the most advanced security system of many worlds.
Staffed by heavily armed and armored guards, robots, turrets, force fields, cameras that can detect anything, and custom prison cells for special prisoners. The complex is now also made up of different sections for different levels of prisoners.
The Intensive Treatment Center is a large facility located in the center Tartarus, the Center held a number of the more extreme personalities and was designed to provide care for highly severe psychological and physical illnesses.
This unit contained a number of holding cells, many offices for the Tartarus Staff along the corridors, the Extreme Isolation cells, a wide range of medical equipment, and the main lobby.
This is one of the prison's most highly secure buildings where prisoners are first admitted for initial assessments, so it had up-to-date security systems to properly house inmates.
The Medical & Research Facility was one of the primary locations for the inmates of the institution to receive physical treatment, alongside the Intensive Treatment Unit.
This building had a sanatorium with an X-Ray Room, a Patient Observation Room and a Surgery Room. Some of the prisoners held here have powers or abilities that they can't control and are held till they get the help they need.
The Research Wing is where prisoners are studied to learn about how whatever special abilities they have works. The state of the art equipment and holding cells, allow safe study on the prisoners. To see what could be gained both in knowledge, technology and commercial gain.
The Penitentiary is the primary location for incarceration, with 5 different sections for the different level of how dangerous the prisoner is.
The Penitentiary contained a great number of different cells to house the prisons extreme variety of inmates.
Level 1 prisoners are the ones who can be kept in standard cells once striped of their gear. Level 2 prisoners are the ones with powers and are kept locked in cells that one way or another keep them from using their powers. Level 3 prisoners are for the ones who powers can't be turned off and have to be kept in custom cells. Level 4 are the supernatural prisoners who even in a world with no magic they still have their old powers. Level 5 are the most dangerous and are kept behind vault-like doors.
The Canteen is where 'safe' prisoners from Levels 1-4 are allowed to go for their meals. The ones who are lock in their cells are given their food through slots.
The prisoners who are let out are the ones who have rehabilitation as an option. They're given a chance to get an education if they lack one and work prison jobs to earn money.
The sector houses the workshop, laundry room, cleaning rooms, shower, kitchen, mail room and prison shop. The sector is treated as more of a normal prison for those who are serving their time.
There is also the Extreme Isolation area; this is an area of Tartarus that is located in the Intensive Treatment Center and is reserved for only the most dangerous of inmates or the ones who have powers that are just too dangerous to be allowed around others.
The only way in and out of the area is via a high-security, metal transfer box. The entrance is also guarded by heavily armed and armored security guards and robots at all times. (5)
"First time in Tartarus?" XJ6 asked Danny and Dani as they handed off Songbird to the guards of Tartarus in the Intensive Treatment Center.
"Been here before," admited Dani.
"We were here when the ghost portal was shiped here," explained Danny.
"Why?" asked XJ6.
"There's your answer," Danny said pointing to 4 ghosts who are dressed as prison guards. They're Walker's goons who are identical in appearance. They are green-skinned ghosts with broad, muscular torsos, ghostly tails, and red eyes. Their uniform consists of a dark blue police jacket with green patches on the arms, gray-and-green shoulder guards and gloves, a metallic gray helmet with a green star on a blue visor, and a gray utility belt. They also each carry a green baton that can fire ectoplasmic restraints to capture prisoners, and they sometimes use gray-and-green riot shields.
"Walker and the SCP have a deal that any ghosts caught are given over to Walker to be put in HIS prison," Dani explained.
"Really, what for?" XJ6 asked.
"Well I Don't know what Walker is getting out of the deal, but all the ghosts that are kept in Walker's prison don't get out," Danny stated. Walker's guards are escorting Amorpho a ghost with the power to shapeshift.
"What about the Fenton Thermos?" XJ6 ask.
"That and other ghost traps can hold some ghosts but others can break out. So its just safer to give ghosts over to Walker. As the in the ghost zone, their powers are useless," Danny explained. (6)
"Yeah, there they can't just go through walls and the guards being ghosts the prisoners can't use powers that would easily allow them to handle the living," Dani adds.
"Good point," XJ6 said as she watches Songbird being lead away by robot guards design to handle big and powerful prisoners like him. "We have enough problems with the living prisoners as it is."
"I DON'T BELONG HERE!" a young woman in her teens cried out. She is in a straitjacket with two guards dragging her to her cell.
"Oh yes you do," a younger teen said who is filling out forms as his sister is committed to the prison metal ward.
"Dexter I didn't mean it. I'm sorry," the woman pleaded with her younger brother.
"You're only sorry because you're finally getting punish for what you did this time. You went and played around with my new fusion generator and killed hundreds in the blast, not to mention caused millions in collateral damage.
It's all recorded of you sneaking in, ignoring the people in the control room yelling at you to stop, messing with the controls and laughing while you did it.
Worse, after the explosion you tried laughing it off as just a game and said it's ok as you do it all the time in my lab. You don't care about anything or anyone but yourself. Dee Dee you are mentally unable to see what you do as being wrong. And you're only crying because you're being punish this time," Dexter snaps at his sister.
"It was just a joke," Dee Dee sobbed.
"A joke that killed people and unlike back in our world you can't just get away with this," Dexter said.
"What about mom and dad?" Dee Dee asked.
"Dad's lost his arm and mom is still undergoing treatment for her burns. Both of them don't ever want to see you again after the news footage of you smiling and laughing at the destruction you caused saying it was all for a laugh and showing no remorse for all the deaths and damage you did," Dexter explain to her.
"No. I don't believe you!" Dee Dee shouted out.
"Fine, keep deluding yourself. I don't care, as you are not my sister or part of the family anymore," Dexter said as he finish the form and handed it to the guard and walk away as Dee Dee was drag the other way with her crying out for her brother to save her. (7)
"I see your point," Danny said to XJ6.
"There are still people who think because of how they were able to do what they want in their world and no matter what just worked out. That they can still do it here and nothing bad will happen to them," XJ6 said.
"Till it finally hits them in the face," Dani added.
...
Grindewald was once a mighty dark wizard before the merging of worlds brought an end to most spell casting magic. He wished he still had magic to deal with the thugs that had put a bag over his head and dragged him somewhere.
He had only agreed to this meeting because of how little options there were for him. The one who he's meeting is the one who masterminded his escape. Not that it was that hard with how useless the magical world is without magic.
From what he has overheard; The person who freed him deals with the black market for magical items that still work and those that don't but are still valuable to the right buyer.
One of the thugs shoved the elder wand into his face, asking him if it's the real deal. After learning it is, they put the bag over his head. Thanks to him smelling the saltwater and how the floor is moving, he deduced that they traveled across the sea on a boat.
"Sorry for the rough treatment but can't be too careful," a man spoke to him as the bag was removed from his head.
Grindewald blinked as he found himself in what looks like the ships quarters and the man who removed the bag is a large man wearing a suit and a luchadore mask.
"Who are you?" Grindelwald asked.
"I'm the guy who had you busted out after you agreed to my offer. I'm Killbane, welcome to the Luchadores," the man greeted him.
"Why do you need me?" Grindelwald asked.
"See I need someone who knows about magic. I have gotten some people working for me. but a guy of your reputation and credentials would know a really powerful magical whatnot when you see it. And you're also the type who doesn't mind what the item is used for or on," stated Killbane.
"I see you're just after making money," Said Grindelwald.
"Of course I am," Killbane said with a smirk. "What else is there?"
…III...
TO BE CONTINUED?
...AN ...
1 - The Columbia is from the bad future timeline.
2- And there is no Combine or Xen invasion...for the moment at least...
3 - The ponies are on the most part doing badly now that they have very little or no control at all of the things that they use to be able to control. And having to deal with problems that they can't just put away and out of sight and mind. Seeing that the world they came from is cannon and the only reason why they got away with what they use to be able to do was because of how things worked in their world. They been hit hard by the reality stick, where it's beating a dead horse thing or in this case pony. And Sunset being the only thing that kept the entire country from falling apart. Who is as she was before the Equestria girl movie.
4 - Magic in this fic- for the moment - comes in two types:
Spell casting magic which is magic that the user has to chant or cast to be able to use. So all(known) spell casting, and magical girl items is just gone.
Passive magic is the magic that the person who has it doesn't have to cast to be able to use it. Like in games where you can have a status effect that just happens without you having to activate it to use it. In the fic is the reason why the pony heads are able to float around, dragons, ghosts and other creatures can still transform or those who were created by magic can still be alive. Along with things that are still magical but don't need something to activate it.
5 - The layout of Tartarus is modeled after Arkham from the Batman Arkham game series. But has more and better security and the guards aren't dumb. As the security is SCP level and design to keep prisoners in not matter what.
6 - One thing I don't like about ghosts in fiction is how often they're shown to have god like powers no matter where they are. Inside a building where they died is different as ghosts there are domain holders and are only all powerful while within that building. Or when it's only mind games and not them being able to alter reality to the entire world around them. Seeing how even then ghosts have a big advantage in the world of the living any ghosts caught by the SCP are given over to Walker where in the Ghost Zone they're just like everyone else.
7 - I never like the idiot cast member who is only there to cause trouble. Dee Dee was only in the show to cause trouble and it wears thin and gets old quickly. And it's only in the later seasons that she was ever called out for what she did. Besides it's only because of cartoon logic that no one is ever killed because of Dee Dee messing around and making things blow up.

Legend of the Six- I mean Gobblewonker!
FUSION FALLS: TAKE TWO!
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...III...
...III...
The Gravity Falls forest was no stranger to strange sights...and the sight of a young girl using her clothes to from a rope to scale down the cliff was no different...
Six was grateful she didn't have to take her Raincoat off too, it was too dear to her...
CHOMP!
She looked up in time to see a freakish giant spider bite through the rope. Thankfully, Six was already close enough to the ground. Unfortunately, the swarm of spiders that had been chasing her for miles was gaining fast. She had no choice but to leave the remains of her clothes behind.
Clad in nothing but her signature yellow raincoat she stumbles briefly into a sign. but she keeps running even as the sign was knocked down...displaying itself to the sky:
Gravity Falls lake: Have a fun day folks!
The swarm of spiders proceed to trample over it...ever eager for fresh meat...
...opening song...

Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night

The Apple family's farm had fallen onto hard times since the merge happened. Ponyvile is now on the edge of their human city counterpart, which stretches all the way to Canterlot. Which was once built on a mountain but now had merged with the cliff of the valley that Ponyville is now inside of. With the castle forming a slope leading outside of the valley.
Things have changed for the ponies since the merge, princess Celestia stepping down from the throne with her estranged, now human daughter Sunset. Some of the changes were good as the town no longer had to worry about one person using up all the hot water in a shared water system. Electric power also made life easier for the ponies now that that magic was mostly gone.
but this was also why the Apple farm wasn't doing well, there was no Earth pony magic to help plants grow. The ponies farming ways is low tech farming that is largely dependent on magic- no matter how much they deny that last part.
without magic, many of the Earth pony farms quickly turn to waste despite their best efforts. They simply don't know anything about even the most basic agronomy- there'd never been any NEED before!
This caused the economy of Equestria to downward-spiral, seeing how most of their income came from food traded to other countries. Once Sunset took over she began reform the farms either selling them to human farmers or making the ponies learn new, non-magical farming methods or force them to hire human and non human farm hands.
Applejack being who she is and Granny Smith not liking new things, just stuck to their ways...which as previously mentioned; just didn't work anymore. They could still grab things with their hooves that the other pony tribes couldn't, but that was about it. without their magic, They and the other farm ponies that refused to change were now forced to wait for the plants to be in season. Which was bad, as they only bore their bounty every few months at the most between harvesting...and that was AFTER most of their orchards had already died out due to their sudden inability to care for such large tracts of land by themselves.
"I keep telling you, I don't need help," said Applejack to her human counterpart.
"Look at your farm," human Applejack said waving to the barren fields, with only the farm animals and apple trees left.
"We're in a tough spot but we'll pull through," pony Applejack said stubbornly.
"The only reason why the farm is still up and running is because of the zap apple harvest. And that's mostly thanks to Applebloom going behind your back and allowing people to pay to harvest them for themselves while they were here. Barely raising enough money to keep your farm from foreclosing. But the next time that happens won't be for a year," pointed out human Applejack.
"I can't still can't believe Applebloom disobeyed me, without Granny smiths methods those tourists apples will rot and be wasted! Don't think I don't know Your the reason she did that! I'll tell you what I keep telling her; We don't need your fancy farming tools!" Pony Applejack said firmly.
"I can't believe how much of a hard head you are. What dose it matter HOW the apples were sold? You still saved your farm, didn't you? Honestly, This is you trying to harvest all the apple trees again," said human Applejack annoyed.
"For the last, I don't need your help! YOU'RE NOT A TRUE APPLE! NO TRUE APPLE WOULD EVER WORK WITH THE FLIM FLAM BROTHERS, MAKING CIDER WITH THAT MACHINE OF THEIRS AND NOT THE RIGHT WAY!" Applejack snapped at her human counterpart.
"Which is why my family farm is doing better then yours," said human Applejack in a sharp yet hurt way. Her family apple farm is an organic farm with a greenhouse that allows them to grow year round. With them growing new fruit trees like that blue fruit called Ancient Fruit from Stardew Valley. They even have dozens of beehives that they put in the greenhouse during wintertime.
"YOU DEAL WITH THOSE TWO CONS!" Applejack shouted.
"And I'M offering you a deal to keep your farm afloat. Sell to the brothers juice factory, I talked with them and they agreed to buy your apples," explained human Applejack trying very hard to be patient and civil.
"NEVER! AND YOU GET OUT! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AROUND HERE AGAIN!" Applejack shouts.
"Fine," human Applejack said flatly. She turned to walk away, but stops when she sees Discord flying towards them.
"Hello, my two apples," greeted Discord.
"Discord, what do you want?" pony Applejack asked glaring at him.
"And what's with the black top hat and cloak? You look like an old time villain from one of those black and white movies," human Applejack also asked.
"Oh, this?" Said Discord playfully while tipping his hat to her and dramatically cloaking himself. "Just setting up the mood for this."
"For what?" pony Applejack asked on guard. The humans might see him as just a harmless tricksters with his own TV show. But she knows he's still a villain.
"This!" Said Discord as he hands Applejack a piece of paper.
"Foreclosing?!" Applejack shouted out in horrified disbelief.
"That's right foreclosing because of all the late payments. Sunset asked me to deliver this to you. If you can't make the down payment by the end of the month, you'll lose your farm," Said Discord with a smirk.
"But...but we paid off that last foreclosure! Sunset can't just take away my farm," Said Applejack firmly.
"You BARELY paid that off and that was only because your LITTLE sister apparently has more business sense then you." Discord tsks and shakes his head, "sad really." He then smirks again. "In any case, it's a moot point because Sunset can and will sell your farm. as it turns out, Celly never actually gave your family the land the farm is on. It seems She forgot to make it official. It would be an easy fix... if she was still the princess that is," Teased Discord. Bottom line: It still belongs to the throne on paper and Sunset can do as she pleases with it." Discord explained.
"Then I'll just talk with Sunset then," Applejack said desperate.
"Don't bother she won't listen." Said human Applejack, despite knowing she was wasting her breath on her mule-headed counterpart.
They then saw Discord using a phone."Yes I just gave her the paper and she thinks she can talk to you about it," Said Discord before putting it on speaker and presenting it to pony Applejack's face.
"Princess Sunset, please don't take away our farm! It's been in the Apple family's hands for generations," pleaded Applejack.
"Which was great back in Equestria, but NOW your stubborn clinging to old fashion traditions is now counterproductive in making any money. I'm going to sell your farm to someone who can actually turn a profit. I'm also going to suggest to the new owner to have the farm EXCLUSIVELY grow zap apple trees. After tearing down all the other apple trees or selling them as transplants, Zap apples will then be sold as a rare delicacy," explained Sunset said over the phone coldly.
"But we're the only ones who can make the jam," Applejack pointed out desperate.
"I'll admit your Granny's intimate knowledge of Zap apples passive magic is irreplaceable...but I had a crack team reverse engineer her methods...and a taste test proved it's just as good. And not just as jam, but also as wine and other apple related products."
"No machine could ever replace Granny!" Snapped Applejack enraged.
"I never said it would replace...you know what? Whatever, believe whatever you want. Your pride and refusal to believe any good result can be achieved by not doing anything YOUR way is why I'm kicking you off your home in the first place. Be thankful I'm giving you to the end of the month to either make the down payment or at least get your affairs in order. I'm sorely tempted to kick you out now after what you did to Twilight.," Explained Sunset.
"But what are we going to do? Where are we going to live?" Applejack asked, now sobbing.
"You have plenty of family members- who weren't as stubborn, were willing to adapt and are making money -who can take you in. Or you can stay and work at the farm as farmhands. Unlike you I doubt the owner will refuse to hire outside the family. So as I said: your family had better either got it's affairs in order or have paid up by the end of the month. And NO there is no other way but at least giving the minimum payment. Also don't go to one of the casinos, you'll just lose what you have left in your savings," Sunset Explained that last bit with a knowing smirk. Thanks to the deal Sunset made. Equestria was like Native American owned land, she was able to open casinos to help bring in money.
"But it's over 4000 bits," Applejack said in despair.
"Yes and it ALL has to be paid by the end of the month, And it's in dollars not bits. Come up with the money or start looking for a new job," Sunset said as she hangs up.
Discord laughs "This is rich, because of you're old fashion ways you'll losing the farm." Discord then smirks. "Unless of course you can convince your Homo sapien counterpart to help foot the bill." He teases.
"Applejack?" pony Applejack turned to her human counterpart desperate.
"No, I'm not an Apple. You just said so yourself, remember? You got into this mess for refusing to change and allowing your pride to rule you. I already tried to help you and you reward me by yelling at me? Well forget it, I don't have to help someone like you," human Applejack said as she walks off.
"Oh, this is priceless. Way to burn the bridge of the one person who could've helped you!" Teased Discord.
"Are you just going to laugh?" Applejack asked miserably.
"Yup," said Discord smugly." But of course... you could earn the money you need by being on my show."
"Your show?" asked Applejack fearful of what he's planning...
...
Applejack wasn't the only one who was dealing with financial problems since the merge. Many of the residents of Ponyvile had to change from using bits to dollars and credit cards.
Then the biggest change was that many of the jobs that they use to do are either no longer needed or have been replaced. Ponies were force to look for new jobs outside of their talents and many of them were forced to do job training or go back to school to qualify first.
Rainbow Dash dream of being a Wonderbolt was dashed to pieces with Sunset disbanding them and forcing them to put on air shows for one of her resorts. True, this made It easier for Rainbow Dash to became a Wonderbolt... but it's just an empty title now. Her human counterpart works at the resort/casino too at the food court.
The air shows don't pay like what the Wonderbolts were used to. But with Sunset ending their pensions, they needed the money to keep a roof over their heads.
Sunset wasn't the least bit sympathetic either; telling all of them and the royal guards that none of them bothered to fight the Changelings during the invasion. So why should she be paying them or giving them benefits for services that they never did in the first place?
This caused some now ex-guards to try to start a revolt against Sunset. The guards were having a lot of success rallying people against Sunset...at least until a dragon showed up at their rally to eat everyone. The 'so called defenders of Equestria' just disappeared from sight until some of the ponies who were 'eaten' came out from under and revealed that it was just a fake Chinese paper dragon float being operated by humans.
The former guards finally returned trying to get control of the crowd and figure out what happened. Which was when Sunset showed up on stage and revealed she was behind everything to show how useless they were at their jobs.
She revealed she had cameras filming everything and showed that while the fake dragon was attacking- the humans in the crowd were also laughing at how gullible and stupid the ponies were -but also The guards and Wonderbolts were all hiding like cowards while the fake dragon was eating ponies.(1)
Needless to say, the guards and Wonderbolts lost all credibility and respect and their 'coup' was a bust...
...
But the guards weren't the only one's in a pinch now thanks to the Merge...
Fluttershy suddenly found herself jobless once the animals started to take care of themselves. But found work at the new zoo that open near the new Everfree Forest resort.
The castle of the two sisters was made into a tourist trap after all the valuables were striped from it. It's where tourist can explore the forest in the fenced-in areas/campsites/cabins. They are protected by human rangers armed with weapons and the local wildlife quickly learn to avoid them. Zecora was hired as a tour guide to lead walks through the woods. And for those who didn't want to go into the woods, the Everfree zoo where captured animals found in the woods are housed in pens were some like being fed everyday and being cared for by the staff.
Fluttershy is now forced to deal with interacting with others, the scary humans and animals or lose her home. Also she has to feed the meat eaters actual meat and not just fish which makes her VERY uncomfortable. Fortunately, her human counterpart also works there and is currently helping her pony counterpart adjust. As unlike her, she works well with both animals and humans.
Rarity on the other hand found that her skills in custom-made clothes making wasn't in demand anymore. With her magic so much weaker now, she just couldn't compete with the much more efficient and preferred 'mass produced clothing' industries. And those who did buy custom made clothes already had people they go to for it.
She tried to get Sunset to wear the dress she designed for her to wear, but found that her human counterpart had beaten her to the punch. The human Rarity has been given the job to secretly make up for what she did to her and her friends before the merge.
Sunset then explained to pony Rarity that the dress isn't what she likes and that her tastes are more human then pony. Not to mention that Sunset held Rarity and her friends just as responsible for the Changeling invasion as Celestia was. As they cared more about a wedding then the warnings that Twilight was pointing out.
Rarity had to relearn how to make clothes so that they would be suitable for humans as well as other non-ponies. Right now her shop is selling hats and shirts- that have cutie marks on them -to the tourist.
They were big sellers... But Rarity wasn't living her dream of making wonderful designs as she's now been reduced to selling cheap clothing to pay the bills.
...
Then there's Pinkie Pie; while still a party planner, she's found that the humans have very different tastes then ponies. For example: She learned- after multiple arrests and mace to the face -that humans don't like people who break into their homes even if its to throw them a party.
Which also happened when she tried to break into Sunsets office to throw her a party. while the party still took place, Pinkie spent the enter party either in the dunk tank or with her head sticking out of a hole to be hit with pies.
With Sunset telling her that they're laughing AT her NOT with her. Mocking her for being a dumb, crazy party pony. Who only cares about the party and not if the person actually wants it in the first place. Pinkie was later banned from the castle and now only throws parties when someone asks or pays her to throw one. This is thanks to her human counterparts guidance while working at the new party supply store..
And just to add insult to injury, they learn that the pony Trixie has become a big star using the same stage magic they mocked before. The humans and other races like her act and made her a big star at the local casinos.
...
Inside one of the boy cabins, Dib was laughing as he was looking at his Ipad.
"What's so funny?" Lincoln asked from his bed while using his own Ipad.
"My former classmates are still sending 'selfies' for some reason...despite the fact their lives are now terrible! They lost everything when the cities currency became worthless and when their parents tried to 'get involved' with the worlds economics... they were almost immediately blacklisted for their stupidity! And when the Skool was shut down, they all ended up being sent to remedial school or kindergarten," Dib explains happily.
"What did happen to the skool?" Lincoln asked curious.
"No idea, all I know is that the skool isn't there anymore and neither is Bitters," Dib said with a shrug.
"Didn't they spot the skool around here recently?" Lincoln asked concerned.
"That's what I heard," said Dib cautious yet annoyed...with his luck that was probably going to blow up into a mess HE'D have to deal with...
"Bet they believe you now," said Clyde from his bed.
"Actually, half still flat out refuse to believe anything supernatural. They'd rather believe the rest of the world are just gullible idiots," Dib said rolling his eyes.
"You can't be serious," said Clyde in disbelief.
"Whatever, if they can't look past their own idiocy then they deserve all the misery they can get," Dib said waving it off.
"Wait, you said HALF of them, what about the other half?" Lincoln ask trying to figure it out.
Ronnie smirked knowingly "The other half is the GIRL half, isn't it?" She teases
"The gold digger girl half, you mean," Dib said giving out a snort. "Between my dad being one of the few people in the city doing well and my newfound fame, they're desperately throwing themselves at me to improve their own lousy lives... the same girls that mocked and ridiculed me for years... Yeah, like that would ever happen." He says with a laugh
"Besides you can find much better girls," Clyde said optimistically.
"Just don't try to be with any girl like my sisters," Lincoln warned. He still hadn't forgiven his family for kicking him out. Which was fine, as mostly hung out with Dib or his other friends nowadays. They'd fixed up the garage to became a clubhouse where they look up the supernatural and aliens.
"Don't worry about that. There's no way I'm getting near your sisters," Dib said firmly.
"Hey guys have you two been keeping an update on what's happening around the world?" Clyde asked.
"Not really. There's a lot happening around here," Lincoln said.
"Well according to this news article. That Wakanda form the marvel universe was found recently stabilizing and giving aide to Africa." Said Clyde excited.
"That's not how you say the name," Dib said.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," Clyde said waving it off. "The country's ruler prince Erial... however you say his name has finally gotten his country to start to recover from the merge."
This news made everyone excited...except Dib
"Okay, my knowledge on those comic books are kinda rusty...but Isn't that one of those countries that cut themselves off from the world and became a utopia of science and technology...despite the fact that realistically such a setting should never have worked in the first place?"
"Yep, the same," agreed Clyde. Like most, he'd seen the MANY online videos that explained why it shouldn't have worked in the first place. (2)
Lincoln sighed, "Yeah, your probably right. Lucky for them, they were taken from their world just after the events of the first 'Black Panther' movie. Between princes T'Challa's(3) new policies of using Wakanda resources to help the rest of war-torn Africa, the amazing commodity of Vibranium still working- since it's NOT magic -Wakanda is on it's way to not only being a world leader but really helping Africa pull itself together. Not only using their wealth and tech to settle conflicts but also Sending people with skills to help improve the standard of life around Africa. Like building wind farms, digging wells, providing free medical care and opening schools."
"Don't forget helping those Mudokon aliens who crashed down in the Sahara," reminded Clyde.
Dib shuddered, "a whole planet full of salves that takes 'corporate cannibalism' to it's logical extreme," Said Dib as the nightmare fuel made it's way through his rather VIVID imagination. "It's too bad we have too much trouble happening on this planet we can't afford sticking our noses into space." He admits sadly.
"True, I guess we just have to hope Steven and the Gem Empire can deal with it." agreed Lincoln resigned.
"Hey guys ready for the trip to the lake?" Asked Nate as he entered the cabin.
"Ready to start fishing," Said Lincoln as he and the rest of the boys and Ronnie in the cabin got excited.
Outside, the kids are piling into the buses to take them to the lake for the opening day of fishing. Lincoln waved to Ronnie as she left to join the other girls as they went in their buses. The one driving one of the girls bus is Milla Vodello. She'll be one of the adults coming with the kids for a day of fishing, with Gwen, David, and Bill.
...
Lake Gravity Falls is the main source of fresh water for the town of Gravity Falls. It's also the fishing spot for the residents The lake also houses a small island that is known as Scuttlebutt Island which is home to a colony of beavers. And the lake also contains the Island Head Beast, that once disguised itself as a small island.
Since the merge the lake had gone through some changes like the rest of the world. The aforementioned Island Head Beast was found and captured with it being wrap in chains and cables that are connected to large anchors used for big ships to keep it from floating. It's now on display in a fence off pond that was dug to house it.
It occasionally also served as the- sometimes -home of Albonquetine island...every so often popping up like a cork out of the lake before vanishing again. Which can be fun to see...except for that time that it once booted Island Lady in the rear so hard it sent her flying and crushed a nearby row of houses next to the lake
Island Lady was originally from Ooo. But was transported there during the merge. Sunset and others are currently working out a way for her to freely leave without causing a tidal wave.
Hilarious, but in all seriousness: Thanks to the merge new water life has also that appeared in the lake.
Like the freshwater merfolks who had moved into the lake. unlike their sea cousins, they have adapted to living in freshwater. There are also some water serpents like Steven Magnet. there are also sea ponies, water nymphs, frog people and others who had moved in as well.
There also many people Living on floating platforms made up of houses on rafts. The settlement is lead by Canyon who had moved there. Where she spends her days fishing and writing about her adventures with Billy using online books. They they make a living fishing from the lake, the fish hatchery they made to farm them or the farming of the aqua plants that were once used to fight zombies when they were still around.
"Looks like the whole town is here," Stan said as he and the twins walked over to the pier where their boat is at.
"10 hours on a boat with Stan with a joke book," Dipper said to Mabel depressed.
"There has to be something that would get us out of this," Mabel said desperate.
"I seen it! I seen it!" old man McGucket shouted. He's the old, deranged hillbilly who lived at the Gravity Falls junkyard.
"Dad what did I tell you! You're scaring my customers," his son shouted.
"The Gobblewonker went and ate my boat!" McGucket shouted drawing everyone's attention.
"Hey, the gobblewonkers wouldn't do that!" Defended Steven Magnet said as he floated to the pier. He let out a whistle and Slimey the Camp Lakebottom's mascot pops up. "Slimey can you call up the gobblewonkers?"
Slimey gave a nod and let out a bellow underwater and soon a herd of gobblewonker heads pop out from underwater.
"Alright did any of you attack this man's boat?" Asked Steven Magnet. all of the gobblewonkers then shake their heads saying no. "There you have it."
"Not those," McGucket shouted. "The one that lives on Scuttlebutt Island."
"Mister there is no way any of the gobblewonkers can live on land. They all have flippers and are as fast on land as a sea turtle," Steven Magnet said as the gobblewonkers all raise a flipper out of the water for emphasis.
"Well that's good enough for me," sheriff Blubs said who'd just shown up in a police boat with deputy Durland.
"You shouldn't be going around saying that the gobblewonkers are attacking people," Durland said as he pats one of the gobblewonkers on the head.
"Dad they're friendly like dolphins, expect they don't go around killing baby porpoises," McGucket Jr. said. (4)
"Looks like we just have a crazy old man," Blubs said as he and the crowd started laughing at him.
"Hey Mabel remember that add in the paper?" Dipper asked.
"The giant hamster ball?" Mabel asked back.
"Not that one. The one offering 1,000 dollars to anyone who can take a picture of a new creature," Dipper elaborated.
"Monster hunt?" Mabel asked excited.
"Monster hunt," Dipper repeated to her with a smile.
"Monster hunt!" both twins shout together.
...
The buses from the camp had arrived and the campers all burst out ready for a day at the lake. Lincoln and Ronnie are part of the last groups out. Both of them wanted to fish away from the crowd. Both of them had grown closer when Lincoln broke away from his family.
"I can't believe your mom was thinking of moving before the merge," Lincoln said to Ronnie.
"Yeah, she was looking for a better job till the merge happened... and now she managed to get a higher paying job working for Dr. Membrane's company," Ronnie explained.
"I still find it hard to believe how smart he is," said Lincoln. After all, he too had been fooled by Zim's lame disguise
"Well he has gotten better and he is a great dad now that he isn't as busy as he was before...he was basically the only one who kept the world running apparently," pointed out Ronnie.
"So want to go swimming instead of fishing?"
"Sure I'm wearing my swim trunks," Lincoln said.
"Me too," Ronnie said taking off her clothes to reveal that she's wearing a one piece swimsuit.
Both of them left their clothes together on top of their fishing gear to keep them off the dirt. Lincoln and Ronnie enjoyed their swim in the lake away from the people who are fishing. Both of them were watching as a frog swam by them when they noticed some beavers swimming around them.
"Hey, look! beavers," Lincoln said as he pets one of them.
"Hey watch it!" Ronnie snap as one of them rub its head against her chest. Which she responded by punching it, causing it and the other beavers to get mad.
"Ronnie, I don't think that was the right thing to do," Lincoln said watching as the beavers closed on in on them.
Lincoln and Ronnie screamed as the beavers attack them with their biting teeth. The beavers swarmed around the two kids before swimming away. At first the two kids were just relieved that they weren't bitten... Then they noticed that they're completely naked as the beavers had bitten off their swimwear. Both kids couldn't help but stare at each other before looking away.
"Is the water really that cold?" Asked Ronnie as despite the situation she couldn't help but make fun of Lincoln.
"Hey!" Lincoln shouted, glaring at Ronnie. "How about you? You're flat as a table!"
"Hey!" Ronnie snaps back at Lincoln as she covers her chest. "I'm still growing!"
"Me too. I'm going to get bigger once, I get older," Lincoln retorted.
Ronnie rolled her eyes at that, but instead replies: "Come on let's go before we're seen."
They swam to shore where they left their clothes at, but once they got there they saw the beavers making off into the woods with their clothes. The kids ran naked after the beavers. They ran through the woods trying to find the beavers but lost them with only managing to find a shoe...
"What are we going to do now?" Asked Lincoln dreading the thought of streaking back to the camp.
"Hey, what's that?" Ronnie said suddenly as she points to a girl wearing a yellow raincoat who is kneeling next to the body of a giant spider the size of a small dog... She was sucking something black and smoky from the spider.
The girl noticing them drops the spider and stares at them. Both Lincoln and Ronnie also stare at her... neither not knowing what to do-
Shup!
A dart suddenly struck the girl in the yellow raincoat and she fell to the ground out cold. Spiders the size of large dogs suddenly sprang out from the bushes surrounding Lincoln and Ronnie before they could react.
"There is no place to run," a voice called out causing the two kids to turn to the voice.
The voice came from a red anthropomorphic cat, with purple dots around his body and on his nose, with very, very bright yellow eyes. He is tall, slender and has a long tail that poke out from the hunting outfit he wore. He's armed with a dart gun which he's pointing at the two naked kids in front of him.
"And there is no place to hide," Katz said as he fired two more darts at the kids.
...
Doctor Von Reichter- who before he changed bodies, was Josef Mengele in a past life -was a former member of the SS and the Nazi party in World War II. An expert in genetic engineering, he initially began his work in concentration camps. Implanting cybernetic organs in the bodies of deceased prisoners in an attempt to bring them back to life to serve in the Fuhrer's army.
However, the Allied forces intervened to defeat the Nazis. Now a wanted war criminal, he escaped capture and fled from Europe to South America to a secret lab in the Brazilian rainforest. Where he continued his genetic experiments.
One of his creations were the Cyber Series: five thousand children meant to be his soldiers in a bid for world domination.
But at the age of nine, it was discovered they had an error in their genetics that caused them to become rebellious. With this knowledge, Von Reichter ordered their total destruction. Only Two children avoided the cruel method of elimination; Cyber-6 and Cyber-29.
Before the merge he was living in Meridiana where Cybersix and Cyber-29- now Data 7 and in the body of a black panther -showed up to stop him.
To survive, Cybersix needed to drink the fluids that all of his creations have inside of them to live. Which is why they'd been fighting his plans to takeover the city and then the world.
In the end his son/clone Jose betrayed him when he tried to destroy the city of Meridiana... but then the merge happened, which saved him.
Since then he's been on the run and ended up in Gravity Falls after hearing about the magic found there.
The merge granted him a new start in a brand new world, filled with so many new creatures to experiment on.
Using money he had hidden away that were mostly still in the places where he had hidden them, he brought a pig farm which he used as a cover.
Here, all the new bio-engineering machines he buys can be written off as being used to create bio-engineer pigs. Which the man he hired to run the business sells as a fat free meat. Which the pig meat are created to be to keep up the appearance of being a bio-farm. Bio-Pigs they call them.
It brings in money, a fresh supply of fresh meat to his creations as well as bio-matter to use in his experiments. Not to mention allowing him to conduct some experiments in the open that he can later use on his real work in private.
Deep underground lies the reason why Von Reichter chose this location.
Hidden underneath a nearby gas station was a vault created by a company called Vault-Tech.
The vault's residents were already dead by the time Von Reichter discovered it, thanks to a Fix Idea stumbling upon it.
Von Reichter had the Fix Ideas rebuild the station to be part of the R D building, with the entrance to the underground part being disguised as waste disposal.
Because of it being where all the bio-waste ends up, the entire staff wear hazmat suits to hide in plain sight. His failed experiments and other 'issues' can now be gotten rid of in either the treatment pool or the incinerator. The waste of which is then sold as fertilizer to add more income to fund his work. Which he needs, seeing as it's easier to buy then to steal while he's hiding. (5)
And that was all before Reichter found the REAL Goldmine hidden under Gravity Falls...
Von Reichter walks past the Velociraptor chained to the dissection table. And then the cages which are filled with the strange: In one cage is a duck with it's face on it's stomach, in the next is a quail with a question mark on it's head, a owl with the head and utter of a cow, even a hawktopus.
They're studied by researchers that have been hired to work at the farm to see if there couldn't be anything to learn from them. Those animals are on display for the lab that is publicly known. But While the staff who works there do give him useful knowledge occasionally...the REAL work is done by him alone.
In his real lab are the sapient test subjects that he has to keep hidden away.
He took care not to draw attention by hiring out people through middle men who themselves are only contacted by other middle men so they won't be able to trace it back to him.
There's a black market for non-humans. while some companies do it legal by paying for live test subjects, there are always those like him who need more then what people are willing to give.
To those who take part in human and non human trafficking, he just pays for samples so that he can just clone the subjects as many times as he wants. Never having to deal with people looking into the disappearances of the person that was cloned as they'd be looking for the real person, not the clone.
Of course, there are those with special abilities and powers that simply cant be replicated. Leaving him no choice but to take the subject alive when possible. Like the current subject he'd been tracking down for sometime now...
Von Reichter walks over to the computer that controls the eyebots he uses as spies around Gravity Falls. The current target is a young girl who in a yellow raincoat, who has the power to suck the life out of her victims. The ones who kept their powers after the merge were always the most valuable commodities.
This one was of particular interest. He learned of her through his two new lackeys. Apparently, the power the girl had came from their old boss. The girl somehow managed kill her and steal her powers for herself. Taking life force as power was a potential goldmine on it's own...but the power to steal OTHER powers? The value of such an ability was BEYOND measure.
Speaking of which...he happens to Looking at the screen displaying the aforementioned new minions. They are in the kitchen preparing food for the pigs. They use to work as the chefs at the Maw and were obese, bulbous creatures.
He change their faces, change their skin tones to green and slimmed them down. Now any pictures found at the Maw couldn't be used to identify them.
They still wear their white smock, apron, and chef's hat though. Both of them are in charge of getting rid of the dead test subjects. Mostly by cutting the bodies apart, tossing the meat into the grinders and feeding them to the pigs.
He'd originally put them in the regular kitchen. But had to take them out when their personal hygiene proved to be as questionable as the source of their ingredients. This was shown when they openly coughed around food, ripped open raw meat with unwashed hands and unclog a washing station's drain with a toilet plunger.
So they're now feeding the pigs who can eat anything. There is also something wrong with them...as they would occasionally talk- when they thought no one was looking - about the Maw now and then, about it needing to be fed and made 'whole' again.
Clearly, they knew more then they were saying...but more importantly...something about them was just...OFF...while they were under his knife...so much of their anatomy just didn't make sense...it was like it had been FORCED to be that way...yet there was no signs of trauma, previous surgeries, odd drugs, chemical imbalance, genetic enginering or even any trace of any of the known types of magic...it just didn't add up...
Which is why he's been tracking the girl who must be the key to the Maw somehow. He'd been using hidden cameras and drones to locate her, till he discovered that she's around Gravity Falls. She seems to like being around the lake and feeding on the fish she catches.
He tried to use magic detectors to track her...but once again- despite clearly having magical powers -no known magic could be detected from her! Even from her victims!
There isn't anyone in the area he could hire to catch her at this time, but he can eventually release one of his new hunter to do so. He'd discovered a strange reptile-like creature that was killed thanks to the merge, evidently once the merge hit the new reality caused them to die. The reptile-like creature remains gave him much to work with as it's cells are able to change and adapt to just about anything.
Von Reichter knew he had discovered something amazing and began experimenting. First he used a second reptile-like creature called a Deathclaw as the base. then gave it an enhance dose of a virus he discovered inside of it that caused it to originally transform back on it's old world. Making it intelligent and able to speak like the test subjects before it. He finally combined it with the adaptation ability that came from that first reptile-like creature.
He also used some of the Adam he'd managed to get his hands on to make the new creature stronger.
It was too bad he didn't also have that 'mutagen' as well. The mutagen and mutants that it created could now be found in New York after the merge. He'd been having people search the city looking for mutagen, but they're being stopped by those crime fighting anthropomorphic ninja turtles.
He then tried to make contact with the villains that the turtles fight, but it has proven difficult to find them as they seem to have vanished after the Merge.
A beeping on his screen cause him to turn his attention to his other experiment; it was in the form of a young girl who he created with the power to spread a rage plague to anyone she touches.
After the failure of his son Jose, he decided to try a daughter this time around. He also made sure she'll be loyal to him by giving her a post-hypnotic suggestion that made it impossible to attack him.
He turns his attention back to the main screen and saw that someone else beat him to capturing her. His eyes narrowed as he saw it was Katz, who leads a group of giant spiders that he feeds people to for fun.
Katz is one of the people he hires to capture samples for him through third parties. He knows that he needs to get in contact with Katz before...
His eyes narrow as Katz gave a wave to the camera as his spiders drag the target and some other children away Katz then fired his dart gun at the camera, abruptly cutting the feed.
Reichter's eye twitched in annoyance...but he nevertheless gave a resigned sigh and began reluctantly searching for Katz's contact info...He never did like working with Katz... he always seems to know more then he lets on...
...
Sunset is talking to the old royal advisor Kibitz. They're talking about the current economic situation of the nation when Kibitz remembered something: Sunset had told both Luna and Cadance about what she'd been up to in the human world all these years. Including her interactions with the human counterparts of the element bearers...
"Your majesty, whatever happened to those teens who's friendship you broke?" asked Kibitz.
"Oh, them? With everything that happened, I completely forgot about them... and then when I finally DID remember after the Merge..." Sunset trailed off with a shrug. "I toyed with telling them the truth and fixing their friendship... but then I realized something. My 'scheme' wasn't really that complicated, all they would had to have done is given each other the benefit of a doubt and talked rationally for 5 minutes to realize no one sent those texts... but they DIDN'T. So... how strong could their friendship have been in the first place? So really, even if I did fix it...who's to say they just wouldn't immediately turn on each other and forget all previous friendship, Aesops, or whatever the next time things got bad for them? No, the whole 'friends from different backgrounds coming together' makes for a good story... But unless your willing to work hard, trust each other and set a solid foundation for said friendship... it's doomed to fail."
"So you're not going to fix their friendship?" Asked Kibitz aghast.
Sunset sighed, "Look Kibitz, I know friendship was the closest thing we had to a religion in the old world. And if we still lived in a magical fairytale world where the rest of the worlds issues simply didn't exist or convinetly put themselves on hold whenever a friendship issue popped up. Then sure, I could handle friendship problems," Sunset said as she holds up all the documents regarding her duties. "But in case you haven't noticed, I have a kingdom to run! We're still recovering from the merger! Anything small like that will either have to handle itself or be delegated by someone else! I am not like mom in being the only one who does anything, everyone has to be able to do something themselves. Which is why so many ponies who worked in the castle are now out of the job as they didn't do anything while expecting me to do it instead."
"Yes the castle staff is much smaller now," Kibitz agreed being one of the few ponies who still worked in the castle because they were actually GOOD at their job.
"Besides, it's all a moot point now anyway. I looked into it when I had the chance and they've all more or less moved on. The crisis of the merge brought them closer with friends who they had more in common with, and by the looks of it most of them are planning to leave town after college to pursue their various interests.
Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich are going to Ponyacci's School of Clowning, Japes, and Buffoonery, Rainbow Dash is becoming a professional athlete, Rarity, Sassy Saddles, and Coco Pommel are going to beauty school, Flutteshy, Tree Hugger, and Wallflower are going to veterinarian school, and Applejack is staying to run her family's farm.
So even if I had fixed their friendship, at best they would've been 'acquaintances who only ever talk like once a year at most', which is the fate of most high school friendships if you think about it. It's sad, but that's life. So what can you do?" Sunset explains with a resigned shrug.
"I see," Said Kibitz still looking uneasy, but not able to find a hole in the logic.
"Besides, after finding out that they're the human version of the ponies who abandoned Twilight. I gotta say, I just stopped feeling guilty about what I did. Maybe that's not being fair to them... but on top of everything else... it was just the straw that broke the camels back on me deciding to just putting the whole thing behind me and moving on with my life. Besides, human Rarity the is my tailor- which will put her name out in the fashion world in a BIG way -that and all the others are either working at one of my resorts or supplying them like human Applejack's farm is doing. So I'm already helping them in a way," Sunset pointed out.
"Sunset?" Luna asked as she enters the room. She looked well made sense seeing how she no longer had to work long nights moving the moon around, nor could she enter the dreams of others with her magic so reduced from the Merge...the only exception being if she's right next to someone dreaming.
"Yes aunt," Asked Sunset happily. Her relationship with her aunt was much better then Celestia or Candace...although Sunset wished she'd stop trying to mend her relationship with Celestia.
"There's a man and a... 'woman' here to see you. They're waiting at the entrance. They say that they're your parents," Luna said hesitantly.
"My parents!" Sunset exclaimed eagerly as she rushes past Luna who followed her along with Kibitz.
At the entrance is a large man with red hair that borders on being orange, a barrel chest, and disproportionately small legs. He's dressed in a trucker's shirt and overalls. The human guards are standing around him waiting for Sunset to get there. They're staying back and eyeing him warily as the man is over 7 feet tall and looked ready to start a fight at the drop of a hat...then drop the hat himself.
Then there's the woman with him, she wasn't what you'd expect. She's actually taller then her husband at over 8 feet, and more muscular than him. She also had deep red hair, harsh green eyes, and a boil on the side of her cheek. And she is currently being held back by her husband and their daughters from beating the pony guards who are scattered around the entrance.
"FAT! FAT! I'LL SHOW YOU!" the woman shouted as she tries to free herself from her family who are holding her back.
"Alright, who called mom fat?" Sunset asked irritated as she walked up to her mom.
"Sunset!" Her mom's mood shifted from unstoppable rage to loving mama. Her husband and daughters let her go as she rushes over to Sunset and lifts her up in her arms.
"Hi mom," Smiled Sunset as her mom held her up and hugged her.
"So, she's your mother?" A human guard asked.
"Yes and what happened here?" Asked Sunset.
"The pony guards wanted them to leave. Things went south when Rosewood said 'there is no way a fat, hag like you could could be our Princesses mother'," He answers.
"Rosewood, you're fired," Sunset said looking at the still form of Rosewood. " Someone tell her that when she wakes up."
"So you're the ones who adopted Sunset?" Luna asked walking up to them.
"Actually, they're my human family counterparts," Sunset answers.
"What?" Asked Luna.
"Didn't Celestia tell you how she adopted me?" Responded Sunset.
"No," Luna said.
"Well apparently the family I came from were all Earth ponies who lived in a community that hated magic, so when I was born. They apparently disowned me and sent me to an orphanage in Canterlot. Where Celestia discovered my high level of magic and took me in. After she decided that I was too much trouble to raise, I escaped through the mirror before she could kick me out. In the human world I fended for myself for a couple of days until one of my human sisters found me in an alley box and brought me home. My human counterpart had died in an accident and they thought she'd come back from the dead. Long story short; I told them about me being a pony when the merge happened. I showed them who I REALLY was and they still accepted me as part of the family," Sunset explains happily.
"She may not be the daughter I gave birth to, but she's still my little baby girl," Sunset's mom said holding Sunset like a baby.
"She is the runt," one of Sunset's sisters said smirking at her 'little' sister. Sunset is the only member of the family who isn't an adult yet.
"Shut up, Ruth," Sunset glared at her bigger sister. Ruth was extremely tall, well-built, busty and curvy like all of her other older sisters. And all were statuesque stunners that when they were known as the Amazon Brigade in to highschool. This was mostly due to them wining all the physical parts of the Friendship Games played against Crystal Prep. This was one of the reasons Sunset was able to become queen bee so easily, by leeching off their reputations even after they left.
"And all of these other women are your sisters?" Luna asked looking at all the young women before her.
"Meet Ruth, Flora, Maeve, Isla, Bradana, Murdina, Alana, Oban, Ardbey, Fiona, Assie, Bonnie, Lorna, Mawina, Shona, Nora, Piesil, Shanath, Euspeth, Edme, Freya, Gilbartha, Gesha, Grizela, Innes, Dawntha, Cora, Davina, and Kina," Sunset said as she points to each sister as she names them.
"How did you have so many children, Ms...?" Luna trails offboth looking at all the daughters and the realization she never got her name.
"Helga Scotdale. And all but Sunset are all multiple births from twins to octuplets," Mrs. Scotdale explained.
"And this is normal?" Luna asked looking at Sunset being held like a baby.
"Mom treats all of us like we're still kids. Especially Sunset seeing how she's the smallest, mom can't help but see her as the baby of the family," Isla said with a smirk.
"Cut that out," Sunset snaps at her sister, who just laughs with the rest of her sisters.
"This explains so much," Luna said seeing how with a family like this: This would be why Sunset is so willful, forceful and gives off the aura of being bigger then she really is. She would need to, to catch up to her older, bigger, BEEFIER sisters.
"So the deal with the ranch is all set?" Sunset ask.
"Yes, we sold everything to that new bio-farm. So now we're all going to get to live together as a family again," Mrs. Scotdale said.
"Is this the reason why you fired so many staff members? So that the rooms would be free?" Luna asked.
"No, I fired them for not doing their jobs or just sucking at it. Besides the old house was a cramped dump. And the castle has plenty of room now that it's more of a home then a seat of government," Sunset said.
"It'll be so nice for the whole family to be together without the long trips between here and the ranch," Mrs. Scotdale said.
"Tell me about it," Sunset said.
"Sunset have you told Celestia about this?" Luna asked.
"Why bother? I'm only her daughter because she adopted me. But she only ever saw me as a way to free you from being Nightmare Moon. Which only happened because instead healing you she exiled you to the moon for a thousand years by yourself. Celestia isn't a good sister or mother but we're struck with her as she's family. But it doesn't mean she's the only family we have. I have my family of choice as they- unlike her -never took the easy way out by just giving up on me or banishing family instead of helping them," Sunset ranted.
"She is still my sister and your mother," Luna insisted.
"Only because my biological family apparently didn't want me. But she made it very clear she didn't want me, not once did she try to find or contact me at all in the human world. I still had the magic journal that we used write to each other, but not once did she write me either! And NOW she wants to mend things? Well, too little too late.
I found my real family and I don't need her anymore. The only good thing about being her daughter is that it allowed me to takeover and save Equestria from falling apart." Sunset explains.
"She still wants to be apart of your life," Luna pleads.
"I'm still waiting for her to make it up to me and her attempts at buying my forgiveness is pitiful. Not to mention she's trying using things that I like when I was a pony. I'm a human now, I like being a human and if she can't accept that. Then she can suck it." Sunset said with a huff as she finally frees herself from her mom. "Come on lets get the stuff unpack and, I'll show you around the castle and your rooms." She says before Luna can say anything more.
Luna saw the family would be busy for awhile, so she walks back into the castle. Near the entrance she found her sister, who had been listening in. The guilt of her many failures etched on her face.
Since the Merge, she's been trying to be the mother she should had been to her. But with the the woman who was the mother Sunset needed when it mattered now living here... Celestia knew now that any chance of her being Sunset's mother was long gone...
And Luna couldn't think of anything to say to her sister, whose mistakes had cost her the only daughter she ever had.
...
After joining Soos on his boat... and after he and Mabel aggregated Dipper by throwing almost all his disposable cameras overboard. They finally got to Scuttlebutt Island where they set off into the island to find the gobblewonker.
They walk around the island as they look for the beast. Suddenly they heard a strange noise which lead them to the lake shore where they discovered a big beaver lodge.
"Wow this looks like a beaver den but crossed with a house," said Soos amazed.
"It has windows and a door," Mabel said pointing to one of the doors being a car door.
The lodge- while built like a normal beaver home -also had things that no wild animal would have. The dam part of the lodge created a small lagoon, which was clearly used as a pool. There are several solar panels on the roof to provide power as well as a gas powered generator which is built into a shack on the dam to protect it from the weather. A motor boat next to the lodge tied to the dock next to the lodge. There is also a garden/greenhouse where beehives were clearly kept.
"Wonder who lives there?" Asked Dipper aloud.
"Oh we do," said a voice behind them.
They turn around to see two beavers standing on two legs. One is a dark brown with a red nose and yellow eyes. While the other is light brown with a purple nose and both of them are around the twins size.
"Hi, my name is Norbert and this is my brother Daggett," The light brown one greeted them.
"Cool, the talking beavers that I seen at the grocery store," Soos said.
"What are you people doing here?" Daggett ask.
"We're looking for a gobblewonker that can go on land," Dipper answers.
"but Gobblewonkers can't go on land," said Norbert confused.
"Yeah, we're hoping that it's some kind of new creature and we can get a picture of and sell to the newspaper," Mabel explains.
Dagget thinks on it a bit, "Hmmm...Nope, sorry. We've been living here since the merge and we've never seen anything like that."
"But maybe Twilight knows something," Norbert said suddenly.
"Twilight?" Dipper asked inquisitively. That name sounded so familiar...but from where?
"Our roommate," Said Norbert as he invites them into the house.
Inside someone is sitting in front of the a TV. The twins view of the person is obstructed by the large chair she's sitting in, so they can't see who or what the person is. But as they were more focused on they're current objective; they just assume she's just another beaver and are about to ask her their question...when they notice that the Discord show- their favorite -is playing and get briefly distracted by that.
On the TV screen is an orange earth pony humiliating herself LIVE. She was currently playing what looks to be like a more wild Double Dare obstacle course. Which has her being up to her chest in slime as she is being pelted by pies and the people in the stands laughing at her.
"Applejack is really desperate for money," Twilight said watching her EX-friend taking all of the humiliation to win the prize money.
"Hey, Twilight! Have you seen any gobblewonkers or something like that walking around on dry land?" Daggett asked suddenly.
"Nope haven't seen any," Said Twilight only half listening.
"Well looks like there isn't any land walking gobblewonker," Norbert said with a shrug.
"That old man was a bit crazy," Mabel admitted disappointed.
"Lets head back then," Dipper said with a equally despondent sigh as he and Mabel say goodbye and began to walk out of the beavers home.
"See you guys when you're in town," Soos said leaving as well.
"What was that all about?" Twilight asked.
"They said they were looking to take pictures of a new creature that some guy said was around here," explained Norbert.
"Well, in any case. Before I forget; Here are the new orders that have been printed out," said Twilight as she bent over to grab said orders...
Little did she know, Dipper had just turned around to close the door behind the group. This plus the angle she'd bent had given Dipper a perfect view of her purple plot.
The sight of said rear immediately gave Dipper a boner. Mortified and too flustered to think why a 'beaver' would be purple. He quickly closes the door and leaves quickly before anyone notices.
Completely oblivious to the fact that she'd just doubled the amount of wet dreams of one average, awkward pre-teen adolescent...Twilight continued to had out the order forms
"Who knew perfume companies would pay so much for our musk," Daggett said amazed.
"It does allow us to afford all the new stuff we been buying," Norbert said happily.
"As long as you all don't spend more then you're making," Twilight reminded the brothers.
"Yeah, yeah we're using your budget," Daggett said dismissively.
"I know it's annoying. but you two can't just spend like crazy as you did on your old world. Unlike there you could end up losing everything if your not careful," Twilight reassured.
"True," agreed Norbert as he and Daggett joined her on the couch.
On the TV screen, Applejack had made it to the final round. Where she had to pick one of 5 treasure chests- gold, silver, bronze, copper and wood -she had to be careful, as only ONE had the prize money.
Knowing Discords deceptive nature, Applejack reasoned that the plain wooden one must have the prize money. As most people would just assume the most valuable prize is in the most valuable box. Thus Discord would of course do the opposite.
She confidently opens it... to reveal nothing but a voucher that's good for a one-time all you can eat buffet at the Everfree casino/resort.
Which caused Applejack to start yelling at Discord, accusing him of cheating. Discord quickly refuted this, by showing her all the rest of the prizes that she could have gotten: with the prize money being in the gold one and the others other filled with less valuable prizes. Like an all-expenses-paid stay at one of the resorts and other gifts.
Discord explains that she just picked poorly by assuming he'd have the prize placement make any form of sense. He never does anything that is expected of him after all.
"Hey where's Stump?" Daggett interrupted.
"Oh he's out doing something like he always does. He did say he might try exploring a cave system he found near the waterfall," Twilight explained.
CRASH!
HELP!
They heard screaming coming from outside and rushed out just in time to see a log come flying at them. They quickly dove into the water to the water. The log smashed through the door, but missed them. They surfaced in time to see the humans from before running away from them. Behind them is a enormous gobblewonker that has webbed feet instead of flippers. The humans jump into their boat and quickly motored away. But the beast just continues chasing them in the water. The beavers and unicorn jump into another boat to give chase while also calling the police.
As it happened, a large group of people, creatures and ponies- the later of which very desperate for the money - were making yet another attempt to help Island Lady out of the Lake without causing a tidal wave.
There was an elaborate system of pulley's, ropes, hooks and implements all attached to Island lady in numerous ways...but mostly her forest-bikini.
Island Lady frowned at that, "Uh...are you sure that-
"Don't worry, the Eggheads did the calculations! They've assured us that as long as we follow their instructions to the letter everything will be fine!" Reassures local civic leader Buff Frog through a megaphone.
He turns toward the large group of people on the mainland and begins to shout. "Alright! Team 1 pull left! Team 2 pull right! Team 3 pull sideways! On the count of three! ONE! TWO! THR-
SPLASH!
ROAR!
A gobblewonker chased a boat right through the ropes! It got tangled up, but still kept pulling!
RIP!
Soon, Island Ladies bikini was ripped off...leaving her completely naked...but she wasn't really focusing on that right now. For since her 'bikini' was technically all trees growing down into her...it was basically the equivalent of having your most private, sensitive bits waxed off VERY suddenly...
...Needless to say...Everyone dove for cover as Island lady's scream and thrashing in pain caused a great wave to envelope the beach...
...
Katz sighs as he put the phone down after talking with that doctor about the girl he had just captured.
He walks up to the cage where he's keeping the 3 kids, who had all woken up. The girl in the raincoat is trying to free herself from the extra anti-mystic bindings placed on her. While the boy and other girl held each other terrified as the spiders around the cage stared at them hungrily.
The cave is filled with spider webs and the remains of their last meal. The cage they're in is on the edge of the water where the remains of the spider meals are dumped into.
"Sorry my pets. Business called and you'll have to make do with only two," said Katz as he picks up the dart gun again.
"You're going to eat us?" Lincoln asks in panic as he holds Ronnie. Both too scared to care that they are still naked.
"Of course not, You two are going to be my pets meal," said Katz with a sadistic smirk as he aims the dart gun at them. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a business deal to take care of."
BOOM!
Bursting through the waterfall came the motor boat that Dipper and the gang are on.
It flew out of the water and slammed into the mass of spiders, causing the ones that weren't hit to scatter away from the cage and the boat. Then came the gobblewonker who was too big to fit through the entrance of the cave. It struggled to free itself, causing rocks from the ceiling to fall. Crushing many spiders.
One of the rocks hit the cage, freeing the kids. The girl in the yellow raincoat tried to run but tripped on the bindings. She braces herself for being crushed or eaten...only to find herself being helped along by Lincoln and Ronnie as they jump beneath an old broken boat for protection.
Dipper and the others quickly turn another boat over to use as a shield as the spiders regain their footing and advance on them. One manages to bite Dippers shorts before he kicks them away
Before the spiders could attack, the gobblewonker was knocked free as Steven Magnet came crashing through with sheriff Blubs and deputy Durland following by boat. The impact caused the gobblewonker to slam head first into some rocks-
ZAP!
-revealing that it's a robot as the head came off. Which landed on some more spiders causing the spiders to retreat again.
"Hold it right...," Steven Magnet trailed off when he saw the cave full of giant spiders. "Spiders!"
"That cat wanted to feed us to the spiders!" Ronnie shouted out getting everyone's attention.
"Hold it right there!" Sheriff Blubs shouted as he and Durland pulled out their guns.
"Get them my pets!" Katz shouted, causing his spiders to attack.
"Oh no you don't!" Steven Magnet shouted as he started breathing fire on the spiders, which was then joined by the two cops gunshots.
Katz was about to fire his dart gun at the dragon when a stump in cave gear came falling on top of him. Katz knocked the stump away, but was tackled by Blubs and Durland who cuffed him.
Steven Magnet killed most of the spiders and caused the rest to flee deeper into the cave. Dipper and the others had gathered around the robot gobbewonker, using it as a shield during the fight.
"Dang it," McGucket said as he crawls out of the wrecked robot.
"Hey, it's the old guy who keeps building giant robots to get attention," exclaimed Soos
"Wait, it's been you this whole time?" asked Dipper confused.
"Why?" Mabel asked equally confused.
"To get my son to pay attention to me," McGucket admitted.
"I still don't understand," stated Dipper flatly.
"Well, first I just hootenannied up a biomechanical brain wave generator, and then I learned to operate a stick-shift with ma beard!" McGucket rambles.
"Ok, yeah. But why did you do it?" Ronnie asked, wondering why as well.
"Well, when you get to be an old fella like me, nobody pays any attention to you anymore. My own son hasn't visited me in months! So I figured maybe I'd catch his fancy with a fifteen ton aquatic robut! In retrospect, it seems a bit contrived. You just don't know the length us old-timers go through for a little quality time with our family," McGucket said with a sad sigh.
Both Mabel and Dipper look at the fishing hats Grunkle Stan gave them and sighed.
"Dude. I guess the real lake monster is you two. Heh, heh! Sorry, that just like-boom-just popped into my head there," Soos said.
"McGucket you've been warned about your robots," said Blubs as he and Durland walked over with Katz in cuffs. "But if you didn't build the robot. Then this cat would have gotten away in feeding these kids to those spiders."
"So we'll call it 'community service' and let you off with a warning this time," Durland said with a smile.
"He did save us," agreed Lincoln.
"..."
"Stump here says that there's another way to the surface that should take you back to your bus group if you want." Said Steven suddenly
"Stump?" Dipper asked looking at... well... a stump.
"Good job at tackling that guy Stump," Steven Magnet said happily.
"The stump is alive?" Lincoln asked baffled.
"Well, yeah," said Durland, causing the ones who didn't already know Stump to stare blankly at the unmoving tree stump.
"I will remember this Stump," swore Katz angrily as he was escorted to the police boat where he was cuffed to the railing.
"We got you on attempted murder, kidnapping and being a creep," Blubs said.
"What?" Katz shouted at that last bit.
"You have two naked kids," Blubs said as he pulls out the emergency blankets and gave them to Lincoln and Ronnie. Who FINALLY remembered that they're naked. They also begin blushing as they realized that they been standing around naked this WHOLE time.
Lincoln is about to give the blanket to the other girl...but he sees she'd broken from the bindings in the confusion and escaped...
"They were like that when I caught them," Katz shouted out, interrupting Lincolns thought.
"You still had us caged naked," said Ronnie as she quickly wraps the blanket around her body like a toga.
"And you were going to feed us to your pets," said Lincoln as he did likewise.
"That is more then enough to put you in jail," Durland determined.
"I'll go look for the girl," said Steven Magnet. But his search would turn up empty as the girl was long gone. Leaving nothing but a trail of dead spiders behind along with the ones that Stump had killed earlier on his way down. He then found an exit to the cave that lead to the top of the cliff where the waterfall started.
"You all should head back. Me and Durland will wait here with our prisoner till backup comes here. But we will need you to give your statements of what happen here later," Blubs pointed.
"An officer will be waiting for you at the docks," Durland explained, having already radioed back to the station.
"Come, I'll give you all a lift," Said Steven as he allowed them all to climb on his back.
Thank you, we've had enough adventure today," Lincoln said holding Ronnie's hand as both of them are relief of coming out of this alive. But not being able to resist ridding a cool sea serpent instead of some boring old caves
"Yeah me and Mabel have a uncle to fish with," Said Dipper as he struggled to climb up the slippery scales.
"Actually, no you won't. The beach is flooded and closed indefinitely. Sorry." Explains Blubs sadly.
The twins groan, but resolve to still find a way to make it up to their Grunkle Stan.
While Mable thought up new family activities they could do with Stan instead...Dipper still struggled to get on. He doesn't notice that spider bit had torn through the elastic waistband of both shorts and underwear...and his jostling to get up has caused them both to slip to his knees.
The feel of the breeze was enough to alert and panic Dipper, who quickly hiked them up. He breathed a sigh of releif as at least no one saw that...
He never saw the Purple Unicorn who'd just came by on another boat...just in time to behold his 'full moon' and 'LITTLE Dipper'...she wasn't quite sure what she just saw...but it caused her to giggle for some reason...
...
Six briefly turned back wishfully...she was far way now...but she could still see a speck off familiar white if she squinted...
She reminisced fondly of those two naked kids saved her...especially that boy...
'cute...and small.' Six blushes as she shakes her head of such thoughts...and sadly walks away...
…III...
TO BE CONTINUED?
1 - Seeing how the guards never showed up at anything important like when the Storm King attack. I'm going with them being cowards who run at the first sign of danger.
2 - Wakanda only works in fictions as there is no way any place in real life at the size of that country would have everything they need to build up to a super advance culture. There is no way all of the metals, materials, and other goods that you only realize you need when they're gone would all be located in one place at once. Not to mention how if they're cut off from the rest of the world how did they get the knowledge to create all the advancements in the first place. As unless they keep getting people born in the country who all have minds that make breakthroughs in all fields of science all the time there is no way it would happen.
3 - RIP and God be with you Chadwick Boseman(1976-2020), you took Black Panther above and beyond the role...there will never be another like you...
4 - That part of dolphins killing baby porpoises is true.
5 - Most villains with bases usually don't have ones that pay for themselves. Which doesn't really make sense unless the villain has something that pays for it or they're just rich. I don't like how like in Totally Spies the villain of the week somehow has the money and resources to do what they do without any reason how they did it. Like a highschooler who somehow has the money and resources to build an entire underground city just for his revenge plan. Doesn't make sense at all.

Thanks for seeing me again Stump...these sessions are REALLY helping me out." Said Twilight as she playfully nuzzled a ladybug plushie.
"..."
"What's that stump? Your next appointment got cancelled and you got the rest of the day free? Well grab the brothers and let's watch some TV!" Said Twilight excited as she rushed to do just that...
...opening song...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSZ1KqHwm08
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night
...
Twilight was once again watching the news on the couch while Daggett and Norbert were cooking up something in the kitchen.
She was lucky to have run into the brothers after she escaped her parents home earlier this year. She'd spent weeks in the forest by herself, till they found her by the lake shore. Well...technically it had been more Stump finding her and leading her back to the beavers home.
Since then she's been living with the brothers who after the merge found themselves short on cash and no longer able to take for granted the 'little' things in life that made their lives livable. Like how their dam used to produce the power for their home, which no longer worked once they were in a lake. Also eating human food and getting mail delivered to their home.
But then Twilight figured out that they could sell their musk to perfume companies for big bucks. Thanks to Stump setting things up and Twilight managing it; the beaver brothers now had a steady income coming in and could afford stuff like that again.
And another benefit to living with the brothers was Stump being a trained therapist. He was was able to give Twilight what she needed to help her through her many issues.
She was no longer so high strung and more laid back, Twilight and the brothers spent a lot of their days watching TV or playing videogames they'd bought.
...
"What are you watching?" Daggett asked as he and Norbert join her with sodas and bags of chips.
"News around the world," Twilight said.
On the screen came pictures of elaborate schools the size of a small city appearing in Japan. the program went on to explain how the sheer cost of maintaining such structures and the low birthrates of Japan saw many of these schools shut down...in fact they went through a list...(1)
Ohtori Academy with it's bizarrchitecture and many stairs and walkways with no safety rails; saw it shut down and condemned.
Mahora Academy was shut down because of lack of replacement students and the sheer cost of upkeep.
Ouran Academy had super rich students who suddenly found themselves poor thanks to coming tot his world without their wealth and assets. Which is why it's been closed down, as their funding also dried up.
The many schools based around Duel Monsters and other games were also quick to get shut down. As on this world they're just aren't that many people who view stuff like that as 'serious business'.
Then there are the magic schools that were forced to shut down when their ceased to be after the merge.
Then came the horror stories about the schools who put students in private prisons, allowed students to fight to the death, allowed students to be sold into slavery, had daily death counts and what not. Such schools were closed down and the staff and many students were arrested.
"How do schools like that can even stay open?" Asked Daggett.
"...," Said Stump.
"Stump's right, the schools all came from worlds where things just happen that allow things to happen like that," Explained Norbert .
Like how those Japanese women used to be allowed to attacking people they thought were perverts in over-the-top, lethal ways," Daggett pointed out.
"I remember. I don't get how their worlds work where they could hit people with big and heavy things and the ones they hit didn't die," said Twilight.
"Well it ended with all of them learning that things don't work like that in their world anymore. One way or another, they all got killed or arrested." Norbert pointed out.
"Those girls from that Hina inn, that school with that angel- Dokuro Mitsukai -who beat people to death with a giant spike club, that OTHER school that had angels and sadistic girls like Sohara Mitsuki and Mikako Satsukitane who loved castrating perverts... Japan really has problems," shuddered Twilight as she ticked off a list of Japanese girls who got their comeuppance.
"..."
"Yeah all of those fighters and fighting schools quickly learned that just because their worlds ran on 'no one can beat them because they're good at punching', doesn't mean it works here. With a lot of them being killed because they didn't surrender when a cop pointed a gun at them," pointed out Daggett.
"Then there are the ninjas who suddenly found themselves jobless. All of those ninja tricks doesn't work like in fiction anymore, now those 'Hidden Villages' are just tourist traps. Not to mention that the ninjas use child soldiers and will do anything as long as they're paid to do so. They're a band of thieves, murders and rapists," said Norbert darkly.
"What about those pop star ninjas?," Asked Daggett.
"The Senran Kaguras? They just following the lead of the magical girls who suddenly found themselves powerless. What being a ninja is no longer a job option. Sure, they can still hired to be spies. but spying nowadays is done by using computers then sneaking into a building...at least...that's the OFFICIAL view." Norbert said last bit with a conspiratorial wink.
"They are all young and busty for the most part," Continued Twilight, still not understanding why breasts are seen as sexy...
...
Meanwhile, Dipper Pines inexplicably remembered the sight of that purple 'beaver's' rump...which immediately gave him a boner...
Which was VERY awkward as he happened to be helping Wendy move a package at this time...
...
Suddenly, Twilight felt VERY vindicated in her not understanding why breasts were so important AND very proud of her plot...
"..." said Stump suddenly.
"That Japanese lawyer you made friends with- Phoenix Wright - had to go back to law school with all the others who worked in his worlds legal system after one of those Hina girls trials?" Twilight asked.
"..."
"Yeah, I imagine that would be a shock...being in the middle of a trial involving one of those wretched girls...only to have it pointed out that your judicial techniques not only don't make sense but are also illegal now," said Twilight sympathetically.
"Like allowing kids to have those...whatchamacallit's?... Metebots? Or something like that... Anyway, Allowing kids to use robots that are armed with guns and bombs was just asking for trouble," muttered Daggett.
"Then there were the monsters at Yokai academy. Where most of the students and teachers like to maim, kill or rape. They were quickly hunted down by the Japan armed forces. They really didn't understand that they wouldn't win against people with guns now that magic can't be used anymore," Said Norbert thoughtful.
"Like those Shinigami's who are only ghosts in their ghost zone but become human once in the land of the living," agreed Twilight.
"Stump, didn't you say that they're fighting that ghost king leading all of those other ghosts from the ghost zone?" Norbert ask.
"..."
"That answers that," Twilight said.
"They're the ones who started it. Their powers don't work anymore and they tried to takeover the ghost zone where the ghosts still have their powers," said Norbert shaking his head.
"Boy that was dumb of them," Said Daggett flatly.
"At least the ghost villains are too busy fighting those shinigamis to bother the land of the living," said Norbert in relief.
"..."
"Your right Stump, we have gotten off topic...we were talking about how those Japaneses girls and how they never faced consequences for their actions...Like those adventures you 3 used to go on which caused wide spread destruction and your home to be repeatedly destroyed...yet everything is OK again the next day, like it never happen," Twilight pondered out loud.
"Yeah, it's a good thing you stop us from doing things like we use to," Daggett said.
"..."
"I agree, we must had come from a cartoon-like universe. there's no way the stuff that happened to us wouldn't have long-term consequences otherwise," realized Norbert.
"No reset button, being held accountable for your actions, the police not looking the other way and actually doing their jobs, nothing just inexplicably repairs itself a day after it's all destroyed , you don't just 'get better' unless you have a major healing factor and death isn't cheap anymore," Twilight said out loud, listing things off.
"Remember how you were all crazy because things just didn't work as it did in your world," teased Daggett.
Twilight sighs, "Yeah, yeah. Me go crazy because nothing needs a pony to take care of it. The leaves fall on their own, the snow melts on its own, the animals take care of themselves,".
"..."
"I know, I know. Without you guys, I would still be like all the other ponies who are still scared of how this world can't be controlled," Twilight admitted.
"Then there's Discord's 'Ponies Being Scared Little Babies' videos," Norbert said witha laugh.
"My favorite episode was when the ponies all panicked when leaves fell without help," Daggett tittered.
"Don't remind me of that," Twilight groaned. "Because of that my people are now labeled as cowards, control freaks and cry babies."
"..."
"Ok, it's mostly true- with very few exceptions -but still, having your entire race being known as cowards is hard to take," said Twilight depressed.
"We beavers aren't known for being brave either, you know. We build dams to hide in them," comforted Norbert.
"well, no beaver has panicked when a stamped of baby BUNNIES came to town. The only thing holding Equestria together is Sunset and even then she looks down on ponies," retorted Twilight.
"She's is smart one... I'm so glad I kept that clip of her sending a paper dragon to frighten those former royal guards who were inciting a revolt to prove them cowards. That was a hoot!" laughed Norbert.
"I can't believe that they fell for that. Those guards ran like the devil himself was after them while the ponies they're suppose to be protecting were being 'eaten',"mused Daggett.
"It was the 'Canterlot wedding invasion' all over again! I just can't believe my brother allowed the guard to degenerate into such useless hasbeens! Ponies like that make me embarrassed to be an Equestrian!" Twilight hung her head in shame
"Hey look, it's El Grapadura!" Norbert shouted as the brothers favorite wrestling hero; whose name translates in English as 'The Stapler'. "He's now a teacher at the Foremost World Renowned International School of Lucha. Which is the school that airs the wrestling matches on TV, MUCHA LUCHA!"
"So many of our old friends have moved away since the merge," realized Daggett sadly.
"Treeflower is working as a firefighter in Canterlot, Barry owns that club of his, with Wolffe and Big Rabbit working for him." Said Norbert counting off his fingers as he did so.
"Well there is Bing," Dagget admitted..
"Yeah, but he's never around since getting that job as that insurance company mascot," reminded Twilight.
"Hey, look. it's that island resort with that home for imaginary friends," Said Daggett suddenly.
On the TV was the (sometimes)nearby tropical island of Albonquetine- a large part of Oregon got flooded thanks to all the axcess ocean added during the merge - Which became a tropical resort after the Merge. This was thanks to a foreign exchange student named Mike Mazinsky. She convinced the natives to open up a resort to bring in money. Now Mike, Lu and Og are able to enjoy themselves with the children that come to the island.
The resort is run by governor Wendell and staffed by Alfred and Margery. There is also Old Queeks but he mostly just stays in his mountain cave.
There is also the 3 pirates; Max, Sam, and Gary. They're working at the resort now, liking all the modern conveniences and better food.
Then there are the Cuzzlewits; the other natives who time to time intermarried with the Brits. They also work at the resort. Along with the Cuzzlewits kids; Hermione and her brothers Haggis and Baggis.
One of the reason for all the changes was that the island population increasing drastically during the merge. Foster's home for imaginary friends was one of the many things displaced to the island. Bringing with it hundreds of imaginary friends.
Madame Foster- the owner of the massive manor -her granddaughter Frankie and a young boy name Mac are the only humans that came with the friends.
With so many new people they needed a way to feed and house everyone. So they went with a resort. With the island now in a major shipping lane in this new world, the island has become a major port.
The friends help around in entertaining the guests. As children of the new world don't have the power to bring friends to life, the friends are no longer adopted. But they still love children.
But of course there are friends that no one likes, like Duchess. Who in this world the is no longer being put up with and threw her out. She now lives in a shack near the island's junkyard.
The friend that got the most love is World; who controls everything in his toybox. which guests pay to spend a vacation in it.
...
"I would love to have a vacation in the World's toybox," said Daggett excited.
"Well, it's expensive...," cautioned Twilight. The merge had apparently damaged whatever caused the island to 'sink and pop up like a cork every hundred years or so'. So now it seemingly just popped up and down all over the world...sometimes at random...although he majority of the time it seemed was either in Gravity Falls or it's 'original' position in the Pacific. As a result of this insanity, both boat and airline directors demanded a LARGE fee before sending people there.
"But something that we can save up for," reasoned Norbert.
"Well there is also our vacation plan for Jurassic Park and those islands that Fin the Human came from. I would like to try out the VR world that one island has, now that it's been updated," marveled Twilight .
"Yeah and see all of those robots that are controlled by Fin's mom," Daggett said.
"We could start small and try out the Graboid safari. It would be nice to see that Burt Gummers guy," Norbert suggested.
"..." Said Stump as a commercial pop up on the screen revealing a Mr. Handy on the screen in front of General Atomics Galleria.
"It would be nice to have our own robot," Dagget agreed with Stump.
"I'm still not sure about having a A.I. servant," Twilight said.
"They're not A.I.'s, they use a powerful logic engines so they can't do the 'robot uprising' thing. I mean... why create a robot toilet scrubber with human emotions? That's just asking for trouble," reasoned Norbert. (2)
"Like that Freddy Fazbear pizza place that had those robots that went around killing people," recalled Twilight.
"No, that was because of the ghosts of those dead children. which is now all fixed thanks to some friendly ghosts," explained Norbert. "But yeah, most robots aren't well programmed like the Mr. Handy's."
"The world with all those Mr. Handy'd and Protectrons is so advance,"marveled Daggett.
"...," said Stump.
"You said it. It's amazing how far they manage to advance without inventing the transistor," Said Twilight intrigued.
"That what?" asked Daggett.
"It's what came before the computer chip,"elaborated Norbert.
"Oh... I just like those robots and recycling machines. It's fun throwing trash in and seeing all of it coming out as raw materials,"admitted Daggett.
Speaking of that world...a commercial comes up showing the newest highlights of New Vegas...
...
WE GOT CHILLS!
A giant Deathclaw and a giant Spiderant Queen fight to the death...
WE GOT THRILLS!
A bunch of exotic dancers- human, pony, Girffin, changeling, mermaid, Yak, Ghoul They had anythign you wanted! -danced on their polls!
WE GOT SPILLS!
A man was drenched in head to toe in wine before being thrown onto a pool table filled with cash that he began to make a 'cash angel' in.
We got it all in New Vegas!
The world maybe changing, but fun never dose!
Party the night away and we'll guarantee to keep you safe!
Cuts to a scene of House brand Securitrons easily mowing down a bunch of bandits as they try to invade...
Disclaimer: this guarantee is not legally binding.
It says that last bit in a quick, hushed voice...
...
Norbert gives a short whistle, impressed "Dang, those are some kickass robots. Thanks to the Powerpuff Girls,the XJ sisters and the Vault Hunters took care of the those mutants, raiders, and those Legion basterds. New Vegas seems like a nice, safe, fun place."
"Yeah, Mr. House has really been working hard to promote New Vegas now that most of the rebuilding is done with. Of course old Vegas has been slandering it and New Vegas in return," noted Twilight.
Speak of the Devil...a 'OLD' Vegas commercial was coming on...
...
Marcus Kincaid walked by a bunch of burnt down buildings, "Hello future valued customers! Life hasn't been great here in Old Vegas since the Merge brought all those gangbangers here and blew this all to shit. But I've rebuilt since then...okay, mostly I crash landed Handsome jacks casino here, but still...pretty impressive right?"
He gestures to the crashed, former space casino. And indeed, even in it's current state, it looked very oppulant and massive with people lined up for miles to get in...
"Mr House in so called 'NEW' Vegas...Oh, he talks a big game...can even back it up...but can he give you entertainment like this!?"
Cuts to scene of a guy shooting a Rakk Hive...only to be sliced apart by it's Rakk brood...
"No censorship! No safety! No worries! Pay to hunt monsters! Pay to watch hunters become the hunted! Pay for monster slaughter merchandise, monster body-part trophies and human body-part souvenirs! Everyone's a winner!"
Marcus walks up to a make-shift coliseum; "Want to settle an old grudge or an old feud; But are repeatedly held back by sissy 'anti-duel' laws? Well your in luck! Our lawyers finally got the paperwork in! So for a nominal fee, vengeance can be yours!"
Cuts to a gladiatorial arena...Retsudo Yagyu and Abe-no-Kaii Tanoshi lock themselves in a horse-drawn carriage, tie one arm behind their backs...then prepare to stab each other with daggers as they driver begins it's two-lap ride over the rockiest terrain that could be brought in...the audience cheers for more blood...
"We have a wide variety of duels! Pogo-stick jumping on a minefield armed with maces, Sword swallowing while shooting at each other with cannons, handcuffing yourself and your opponent to a rabid grizzly bear, and so much more!"
Marcus then walks up to a giant pole. "Our local mad scientist Tannis Patrica has mostly perfected the space cannon! You have a 50/50 of being sent to space and not exploding!"
Cut to a shot of person being shot into outer space...before their spacesuit malfunctions and they decompress and explode...
"That could be you! Why wait? make an appointment today! And don't forget to check out our new 'Curse Purge Plus!' Emporium and Crazy Earls Eridium snort opium den! Where 'it's not illegal if the drug was just made yesterday!'
"So don't forget: 'OLD Vegas' is just short for OLD SCHOOL!"
...
Is that really all legal?" Asked Twilight skeptically
"...," explained Stump.
"Huh, no kidding? Wow, the legal system here really is messed up..." Stated Twilight thoughtful.
"Wait, I thought 'Curse Purge Plus!' was a Rick thing?" Asked Dagget confused.
Norbert shrugged, "Apparently when a wandering Rick passed by and went through the inevitable 'make a business to humiliate the local devil, but then grows bored with it afterwards' cycle...Marcus was there before he could burn it down and offered to buy it instead before the Rick went home." He explained.
"Marcus's business strategy actually makes a lot of sense. House is clearly directing his advertising toward pleasure seekers and people who want to feel 'safe' while they vacation...so he's focusing on the opposite; adrenaline junkies, survivalists, death seekers, etc..." Said a contemplative Twilight out loud as she changed the channel again...
...

The TV showed an urban public housing project in Chicago. With two men standing in front of one of the buildings. It was Thurgood and Smokey's comedy hour!
"I'm trying to clean up this neighborhood, and I'm wondering if you could help me by pointing out some of the drug addicts," Explained Thurgood.
"Mm, okay, but uh, nowadays drug addicts have some pretty peculiar names," Smokey admitted.
"You mean nicknames?"
"Well, street names like uh, Who's on crack, Say What's on smack, and uh, I Don't Know freebases,"
"Well do you know the fellows' names?"
"I said Who's on crack, Say What's on smack, and I Don't Know freebases,"
"Well, who's on crack?"
"Yes."
"I mean, the fellow's name,"
"Who."
"The guy on crack!"
"Who!"
"The crack addict!"
"Who is on crack."
"I don't know!" Thurgood shouted.
"I don't know freebases," Corrected Smokey.
"Who freebases?" Thurgood asked starting to get REALLY annoyed.
"No, who's on crack," Smokey reminded.
"Say what?" Thurgood asked irritated.
"No, he's on smack,"
"Who's on smack?"
"No, who's on crack."
"I don't know!" Thurgood shouted, clearly at the end of his rope.
"Freebase!" Smokey exclaimed exasperated.
"Shut up, you damn stupid crackhead!" Thurgood shouted finally.
...
"Let's see what's on the news," Twilight said changing the channel to the news...and is stunned to see STUMP being sent aboard a space shuttle! "Stump, when did you get involved with NASA!?"
"...," explained Stump.
"Wait, the moon is fake?" Daggett asked startled.
"And there's a second moon that's constantly phasing in and out of existence thanks to the merge?" Norbert adds.
"Not only that; but there is a rescue mission happening because on the second moon there's a bunch of kids in a giant tree house stuck there called the KND? How do you know all that?" asked Twilight fascinated.
"...," said Stump.
"Oh," said all 3 in understanding.
"Well, That explains why you disappear now and then at least," said Daggett thoughtful.
"So that's why you were in that Mr. Meaty commercial," said an equally contemplative Twilight . Apparently Stump is working at the fast food place at that mall up north. It used by run by a tyrant named Edward R. Carney before Stump got him arrested. Now, Mr. Wink is back in charge and leading the company in a brighter direction!
...
All gods creatures, fresh off the grill! So come on down to Mr Meaty where friends meet to eat! MEAT!
"Welcome to Mr Meaty! Where we don't hire incompetent employees anymore!" Smiles Mr. Wink in said commercial.
...
Parker and Josh scream as their thrown into the dumpster behind the mall...
...
A news flash showed pictures of China still in the middle of a civil war but the side backing Taiwan is gaining ground. The China civil war happen because of all the different governments that appeared all fought each other for control. The side that Taiwan is backing is one being lead by a talking Panda name Po who is a kung fu fighter. His side is one where the non humans races have gathered together as they wanted equal rights and not seen as animals. They were so successful because Po figured out how to adapt his inner-peace cannon-fire deflecting technique to most other firearms and teaching it to others...allowing even the lowliest 'pheasant' to bring down an army.
True, discovery of this adaption had been a complete accident in an incident involving mung beans, circus freaks, sex lubricant and fifty tons of spam...
But on the other hand...'There are NO accidents...'
...
Suddenly they they find themselves watching a commercial being done by Orson Welles ghost.
"A RICH, full-bodied wine, sensibly priced at a dollar per jug. There's no beating Blotto Bro's brand wine. And now for a little magic...I will make this jug Disappear!" He then begins to chug the large jug of wine down...
GULP!

"Right, I'm just going to move on..." Said Twilight awkwardly as she changed the channels...
...
Russia's civil war is still raging, there was at first an attempt to unite all the other factions against the blisk faction...but a new faction led by Nikolai Demichev somehow crushed most of the anti-Blisk coalition while they were focused on fighting the Blisk...
Russia was now stuck in a bloody three-way war that showed no signs of ending soon...
...
"Hey, the Blisk.. weren't they the same one's who fought that one alien who brainwashed everyone to become the president?" Daggett asked.
"That Cyrpto guy? Boy, all those different presidents showing up at DC at the same time during the merge REALLY stirred up the hornets nest...still hard to believe we ended up with the gangleader of Saint's Row as a president in the aftermath," Said Twilight in disbelief.
"It's not like they're a real gang anymore. They sold out and are selling their gang signs on shirts," Norbert pointed out.
...
ROSEBUD!
Exclaimed Orson Welle's ghost in a very Back-and-white dramatic way before the screen reverts back to color.
"Yes, Rosebud Frozen peas! Full of country Goodness and green peanes!... Wait, what? That's just terrible!" Orson says affronted as he abruptly stands up and begins to storm out. "I quit!" He then briefly backtracks to grab the plate of peas. "Just a handful for the road." He says as he eats the whole thing while walking off.

"Well...that was poorly edited." Said Twilight confused as she flipped channels.
Norbert snorted derisively, "Geeze, they'll let ANYONE on TV these days..."

England was still dealing with the fallout from the British Library and the Gentleman.
Thankfully the merge cost him his reality warping powers. But one didn't accumulate so much power and wealth for so long without having a few tricks up their sleeves... Outnumberd and outgunned, Joker released an army of I-Jin to turn the tide. They failed through sheer attrition, but not without wracking up hundreds of thousands of casualties AND the destruction of several cities. With the entire agency arrested, Joker executed, the books containing the memories of the Gentleman burnt...the British isle was able to take a sigh of relief...for about a DAY. Then the former British magicals took advantage of the chaos to kidnap children to murder for their 'ritual.'
From the death and destruction...a NEW power began to emerge. A Human supremacist political party know as Norsefire was rapidly gaining numbers and influence...
ENGLAND PREVAILS!
...
"Well, that doesn't look good." Said Twilight concerned as she changed channels...
...
France was still dealing with Nazis who came from a world where they won, and the vigilante group Code Lyoko was fighting them street by street. The Miraculous team is now aiding them, thanks to the discovery that their magic is yet another exception to the 'all magic is gone' rule. (3)
Which was good as in addition to the Nazi's, Hawkmoth was still up to his old tricks...
All was chaos...then yet another displaced entity named Henri Crousteau used his Frankodyne industry resources to build an army of Nexos to help maintain order in France.
No longer desperate for resources and Manpower, the Miraculous team was finally able to kick Chloe Bourgeois off the team. She has now been arrested for domestic terrorism due to constantly antagonizing people with full knowledge of the possibility of this actions creating Akuma, thus recklessly endangering hundreds of people and aiding a terrorist-like threat just for her own selfishness and stupidity.
Her father tried to use his influence to spring her, but this just ended with him kicked out of office and arrested for gross incompetence and abuse of power.
...
The scene opens to Fred and friends excited, watching a football game. Camera rotates to John, standing behind a counter with a popcorn popper on top.
John smiles at the camera, "Hey folks, John Madden here for the Quickpop Popcorn Popper!
Fred walks up, "Hey, John, how's it work?"
John: It's simple, Fred. You just plug it in- plugs machine in -open up the butter packet... He trilas off as he picks up butter packet, try's to rip it open, but fails. He laughs. "I screwed up guys Sorry 'bout that, the packet won't open. Could we get a better packet?"
BLEEP!
"Hey folks, John Madden here for the Quickpop Popcorn Popper."
Fred walks up again, "Hey, John, how's it work?"
"It's simple, Fred. You just plug it in- plugs machine in -open up the butter packet..." He ties but fails to open the packet again. "Damn it, its sealed up tight." Turns to the camera jovial. "You know, when I do the Tough Actin Tinactin commercial. All I do is say 'Boom, Tough Actin Tinactin', then the guy shows his feet, and then people smile- I mean, they don't have to open a butter packet..."
BLEEP!
Cut to another take, John is still struggling with the butter packet...
-Ahh, fucking butter packet! Is this thing welded shut, or what!? This is fucking bullshit!" He screams as he tries to rip it open with his teeth, then just throws it down and jumps up and down on it.
BLEEP!
"Hey, John, how's it work?"
"It's simple Fred, you just plug it in..." plugs in machine-
ZAP!
GAH!
John screams as his arm get electrocuted, his arm and sleeve are now burnt! "I CAN SMELL MY ARM FLESH COOKING! It's like I've been napalmed!" Screamed John.
"Puts some butter on it! the butter!" Exclaims Fred concerned.
"I can't put some butter on it! I can't get the butter open! Throws packet at Fred's face, "Asswipe!"
BLEEP!
John is screaming to someone off-camera. "Let's finish this godforsaken commercial! And when I find out who booked me for this, I'm gonna kick 'em in the ass!" Turns to Camera and smiles. "Hey folks, John Madden here for the Quickpop Popcorn Popper Its simple, Fred."
"I didn't say the line."
"Go fuck yourself!"
BLEEP!
"Hey, John, how's it work?"
"It's simple, Fred, you just plug it in... go ahead, do it." He hands it to Fred.
Fred carefully plugs it in, they both jump back, but nothing happens.
"Open up the butter packet- Hands butter packet to Fred, Fred rips it open with ease. John angrily rolls his eyes but says nothing -Pour it in."
Fred cautiously pours butter into popcorn machine before turning it on.
"And in ten seconds, ya got hot buttery popcorn for the whole gang! Hey lets eat, heehee!" John leans over to the machine. "It smells so good!" John opens lid-
FWOOSH!
GAH!
-steam shoots into his face. He slams down the lid while he screams in agony as Fred laughs. "Its melting!" Glares at the others as they try hard to stop laughing and back away. "What's so funny, guys? Ya want a face full of hot buttery popcorn, is that what you want?" Angrily Picks up machine, which burns his hands. He screams while the other laugh at him.
A man with no face comes up from behind, slams him into the glass machine.
CRASH!
GAH!
John screams in pain as numerous glass shards are embedded in his face and the steam is once more searing him...
BLEEP!
Cut to John at a replay drawing board. He is drawing circles around various parts of the scene while he talks: i.e. the butter packet and Quickpop Popcorn Popper.
"Ya see, you got the popcorn right there. You got the butter packet there. I don't know how you're gonna get it open, use a blow torch or something. Then it starts melting, you hear it popping, so then you'll know it's done. and you can put it in a bowl and give it to your friends. Or one of these A-holes sitting in the corner here, like a bunch of jackasses. And then what happens is you can eat it or throw it in the couch. Sometimes I get it in the couch, and it sits there but it doesn't stink or rot, cause hey, its just popcorn!" He growls but clearly acts relieved the commercial is over.
Shows popcorn popper, with the logo over the screen...
"The Quickpop Popcorn Popper, John Madden couldn't figure it out, but you certainly can! Enjoy!"
...
"Okay...what the Buck!? Why would they leave the 'outtakes' in the commercial!? What is this!?" Asked Twilight confused, having just watched the Quickpop commercial on TV.
Daggett have you been messing with the antenna to pick up pirated broadcasts again?" Asks Norbert suspicious.
Daggett shrugs, "What? they're funny!"
Everyone else groans, but continues flipping channels...
...
India was awash with chaos as different groups fought each other which was caused by the fighting in the Middle-East spilling over, thanks to all the different groups that appeared as well as creatures and beings from myths and legends.
...
Orson Wells ghost smiles at the camera, "And remember, there is no Fish sticks like Mrs. Pells."
"Uh...Mr Wells? This is the erectile dysfunction commercial." Whispered a stage hand off-screen.
Wells rolls his eyes, "I KNOW, that was just a deceleration of LOVE!" He begins to noisily eat them.
"Yes...Oh, yes!" They're even better RAW!" He noisily eats some more. "Oh, yes...and even better still when your dead!"
...
Everyone in the Beaver den looks away from the TV and Orson wells mastication to glare at Daggett.
He sighs, "Alight, fine. I'll stop..."
"Thank you." Said Twilight as she changes the channel...
...
Then came a news flash coming from Zootopia; about Jake Spidermonkey being arrested after he set his school- Charles Darwin Middle School -on fire, killing many.
His friend; Adam Lyon- the only human that went to the animal school -told the reporters that Jake is reckless, hyperactive, stupid, chaotic, rude, obnoxious, and ignorant.
Jake apparently did things like this all the time before the merge. But no one but Lyon called him out on this and the other students and staff would always defend Jake no matter what he did.
His other friends with are speechless when asked why would they defended someone who just burnt their school and killed so many innocents.
They were too busy vomiting and sobbing over so many deaths to respond. So Adam had to explain that in fairness, no one got killed because before...and any trouble or damage Jake caused was usually undone the next day.
Principal Poncharello Pegone Pixiefrog was also in the hot seat for turning a blind eye to a student like Jake for so long, And now he has now had a stroke as lawsuit after lawsuit is thrown at his feet. (4)
...
"Reminds me of the Spongebob case," said Norbert suddenly.
"Oh yeah," Daggett nodded in agreement.
"...," Stump said.
"I still don't understand how they cause that much damage to Atlantica, they're so SMALL." admitted a baffled Twilight.
"...," questioned Stump.
"Patrick Star was just too dumb to understand what he did was wrong and got many people killed.
After they destroyed Atlantica. King Triton spared Spongebob because he at least showed remorse for what happened. But Patrick showed nothing and just demeaned ice cream- which somehow was the reason the palace was destroyed in the first place.
He only seem to understand what he did was wrong when King Triton electrocuted Patrick to death. This was then Followed by having the remains burnt just in case he wasn't as dead as he seemed," recapped Twilight.
"Remember how that squid guy was dancing on the ashes of Patrick in front of Spongebob. He then went and tore off his pants, just to kick him while he was down. Everyone was laughing and pointing at him as the guards lead him away naked and sobbing.
Up to that point, Spongebob was living in his own little world. He finally realized that the squid had always hated him and was the reason why the case was so strong against him as the squid... what's his name was a key witness.
And the only reason why everyone in that town... Bikini something...anyway, the only reason they allowed the Sponge and his friend to do what he wanted was because of the delicious patties only he could make... but thanks to the merge happening. He was no longer the only one who can cook good," Reminisced Daggett.
"I still don't get it... how could everyone but him be unable flip patties?" Asked Twilight incredulous.
"It's just how the logic of that world worked. Like how many of the merged worlds in Japan had people who are either great cooks or could kill you with their cooking... but nothing inbetween," elaborated Norbert. (5)
"None of this changes the fact that all those merpeople and seacreatures lost all their homes." Said Twilight sadly...
"Well, At least Rapture was there for them to move in. Sure, the merpeople need wheelchairs to get around. But at least they have a home now," Said a relieved Norbert.
"And all the other water breathers have made their home around it," agreed Twilight happily.
"..." Stump pondered out loud.
"Yeah, it is strange that Adam doesn't effect most races aside from humans. All the water breathers so far aren't effected by it...or at least not giving them superpowers in any rate, stated Twilight.
"What about the ones who are half human?" Norbert ask.
"The juries still out on that, last I heard. But it does explain why the sea life around Adam slug burrows aren't full of super powered sea life," Admitted Twilight thoughtful.
...
"No!" Shouted Mowgli before Bagheera ripped off his loincloth...
...
Tomo boy let's out a yell of triumph as he swings through the air on a vine-
RIP!
-oblivious that his loincloth just got ripped off.
...
Tak whistled as he walked down the recently paved path...he sees a cute rat. "Hey, there little guy?" Reaches down to pet it. "Want some nuts, I-
REEEE!
Screamed the rat as it jumped on his loincloth! "GAH! MY NUTS! MY NUTS!" Screamed Tak as it ripped off his loincloth and ran...
...
The scene then changes to the same rat coughing out the loincloth to a large pile of them. Shanti petted it, gave it a reward and smiled at the camera.
"What you saw was a little preview of 'Jungle boys gone wild: Epic fail edition!' All your favorite jungle boys having their loincloths and dignity stripped of them! Order now and you'll get a box of 'prank-loincloths' for no extra charge! Don't delay, call today!
...
"Huh...interesting...so human genitals are outside their bodies for all to see...that can't be safe...are they SUPPOSED to be that small?" Asked Twilight curious. She suddenly realized that 'thing' she'd seen the other day outside the waterfall must've been that as well.
"Nah, I think those guys were just REALLY unlucky." Said Dagget suppressing a laugh.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. At the risk of sounding crude; you'd be hard-pressed to find guys with smaller schlongs, the poor bastards." Said Norbert with an equal mix of sympathy and mirth.
...
Meanwhile, Dipper sneezed...and felt the need to cover his crotch for some reason...
...
"Okay...but 'prank loincloths?' What makes it a prank? And why would anyone want it?" Asked Twilight baffled
"If I had to guess: I'd say the loincloths are made to either dissolve in water or are so flimsy they rip apart with no issue. It be the kind of thing girls would buy to humiliate enemies, boyfriends, brothers, the list goes on...girls can be jerks like that." Admitted Norbert.
Twilight snorts, "Well, there's no way I'd EVER do that to a guy." She affirms as she reaches for the remote to change the channel...
...
Meanwhile, Dipper sneezed again and felt the inexplicable urge to buy EXTRA clothes and make sure they were backed up and REINFORCED for some reason...
...
"Hey look. the Colonel Kluckin's Kitchen locations have been sold to KFC," said Twilight as she flipped the channels again.
"Isn't that the food chain that would be more at home in the City where Mr. Membrane came from?" Norbert asked. Remembering the horror stories of motor oil used in the firers, gasoline used in the shakes to make them more digestible by burning out taste buds, and of course grinding up human corpses into cheap 'chicken-substitute'
"Yup," Twilight said.
"I still don't get how those people ever managed to survive as they are. They barely remember how to breathe," Daggett puzzled.
"Their like that upper management of that company that my online friend Dilbert use to work at. They either been blacklisted or been arrested for what they did," Norbert said.
"Hey look!" Daggett said pointing to the TV.
On the TV was a commercial for the Mr. series of collectible toys from Wondertainment, which are sold in Happy Meals.
"Can't believe that guy from Korra's world, Varrick went and partner up with Wonka to start a toy company of all things," Twilight said amazed.
"..."
"You work there?" Norbert asked Stump.
"..."
"Oh you sell your ideas to them," Daggett nod in understanding to Stump.
"Hey look, it's those two freelance police; Sam and Max," Twilight said pointing to the TV which has Max and Sam standing in front of a flaming hospital and standing between the two is a pale naked man who has been forcibly dressed in a pair of pants and a iron mask that has been welded onto his head and attracted to a chest harness to keep it in place. The news reporter told the viewers at home how the two captured a nigh-unstopable creature who attacked and ate anyone who saws its face.(6)
"Don't get me wrong, it's amazing what those two can accomplish... but the damage they leave behind...," Twilight trails off at the sight of the burning city next to an ocean...which was SOMEHOW also on fire!
"..."
"Stump's right. Say what you will of their methods, they do work...EVENTUALLY. I man, if it wasn't for them putting that giant Greenland sized crab-like thing to sleep. It would had wrecked South America before it headed in our direction," elaborated Norbert.(7)
"They are only called when nothing else is working," Daggett said somberly.
"I hope they won't be called to help around here," said Twilight crossing her hooves.
...out in space...
She's been waiting for a very long time. Wondering if she's doing it right as she continue to wait for HER to return. Under the endless night sky she waited for the return of her diamond...
She's been standing still, not moving from the spot that she was told not to move from. Even as the garden around her had died without anyone to care for it. The vines of some plants had grown and wraped themselves around her legs... but she didn't move... as she was told not to for the game they're playing. She just waited as she was told, staring at the warp pad where her diamond would return... one day.
"WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL," a voice called out.
For the first time in ages, she turn her head around to see who spoke.
"... whose... there?" she said struggling to speak as she hadn't spoken for over 6000 years.
A flat yellow triangle with black arms and legs and a single eye, wearing a bow tie and tophat appeared floating in the air.
"NAME'S BILL CIPHER AND YOU MY DEAR, HAVE A RAW DEAL. WHICH IS WHY, I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A BETTER DEAL," Bill said.
"Deal?" she ask.
"YES A DEAL. ONE BETTER THEN THE ONE THAT PINK GAVE YOU WHEN SHE ABANDON YOU HERE, SPINEL," Bill said.
"...abandoned me?" Spinel asked...she didn't want to believe it...but it had been so long...and she was so sad...and hurt...
"YES, LET ME TELL YOU ALL THAT YOU HAVE MISSED," Bill said.
…III...
TO BE CONTINUED?

1 - With how big and fancy most anime and manga schools are, not to mention how big they are, the land taxes alone would bankrupt the schools. Then there are all the cost of upkeep and paychecks for all those who work at the school, not just teachers but the army of gardeners, janitors, repair crews to keep a city size school running. Then there are the power and water bills and other bills for all the taxes that need to be paid. Unless the schools charge tons of money for each student there is no way any school would be able to afford to stay open, not to mention how a city size school would cost millions to build and seeing how its in Japan with the amount of land the schools take up, would be costing billions. Which is in dollar value and the schools would be in dept having to pay it all off for years. And that's for the more normal schools and not the ones with all the advance tech and other things like robots and stuff like that, which would cost millions.
2 - Why would you make a robot that can think for itself, have emotions and feel when it's only job is to clean a toilet?
3 - Lady Bug and her team still have their magical powers thanks to their magic not being any of the types of spell casting magic that have been known to cease functioning after the Merge. Their magic comes from their small magical partners, which is like in Slayers where Lina is able to borrow the magic of someone else, like the spell Dragon Slave which the power came from the demon lord, which is why the spell didn't work on him. Where the caster has no magic but can borrow the magic of someone else as long as the one they're borrowing the magic from allows it.
4 - Outside of a TV show where the logic of how the show world works, in always believing a stranger over someone you have known for years, staying friends with someone who never treats you as a friend, two people who hate each other are married to each other, and expecting to get away with anything just because, doesn't work in real life.
5 - In almost all fiction you either can't cook to the point where you can burn soup or when you pour milk into a bowl of cereal it burst in flames. Or so good that people will fight to the death for it. Can't really think of any who are just normal.

...
A crowd had gathered for the grand-reopening of the Mystery Shack's wax museum! Many people had come to see it, including the Scotdale sisters.
The sisters had taken a liking to the Mystery Shack and had dragged their little sister Sunset along for the ride... Well, not so much 'drag' so much as grabbing her and carrying her over their shoulder. Sunset doesn't even bother to yell to her parents...they were already waving after them and wishing them a fun day...
"Annnd...That's why I'm here," said Sunset with a sigh as she sits next to Dipper and Wendy.
"I can relate, I'm outnumbered by my younger brothers," Wendy said sympathetically.
"I'm 16 with Alana, and Oban being the closest to my age at 20," Sunset explained.
"I'm 15 myself," Wendy added.
"Really?" Sunset ask looking at her skeptically.
"I take after my dad in height," Wendy admitted with a shrug.
"Lucky you, I'm on the short end of things. With all my sisters at the shortest being 6'10", and both of them, Alana, and Oban still not done growing," Sunset admitted irritably.
"So everyone else but you are multiple births?" Dipper asked Sunset curious.
"Yup, two pairs of eights and one nine," Sunset elaborated.
"So many sisters," Wendy said amazed.
"This is nothing, only half of my sisters are here."
"What?" both of them exclaimed.
"I have 58 older sisters in all."
"Then where are the others?"
"Got married, moved away to start a life on their own, got job offers out of state, joined the army, navy, air force and all that. These are the ones who still lived at home to help out at the ranch before mom and dad sold it."
"How did your mom manage to have all of you and your sisters?"
"She is very big to begin with,"
"What? Big?" Dipper asked confused.
"Haven't you seen her yet?" Wendy asked Dipper.
"No, I haven't," Dipper confesses.
"You know my dad, Manly Dan? Well Sunset's dad is just as big as him, while her mom is even bigger."
"Mom was just able to handle having so many children because she was just so big." (1)
"So any nieces and nephews yet?" Dipper asked with interest.
"Sister Ann, Bella, Celly, Debby, Ellen, Fanny, Ginny...," Sunset listed them off.
"Wow and I thought my family was big," Lincoln said astonished as he came back to sit by them.
"How many in your family?" Sunset ask.
"I have 10 sisters," Lincoln said.
"Lucky you," Sunset said in teasing envy. "By the way, why are all of you here? I mean, I know Stan is making a big deal of this..but come on it's basically giant wax dolls. Hardly much of an attraction compared to other crazy crap we've seen"
Lincoln rubbed the back of his head awkwardly"Well...Pinkie Pony gave out fliers promising free pizza if we came...soooo..."
"Wait, so Everyone is just here for free pizza?" Sunset asked in an incredulous yet amused way.
Resounding sounds of 'yep', 'uh, huh', 'pretty much', 'Who doesn't love pizza?' Came from all across the audience.
Before anyone can say more, Stan clears his throat over the microphone onstage getting everyone's attention.
"You all know me, folks! Town darling, 'Mr. Mystery.' Please, ladies, control yourselves!"
Ronnie wondered which ladies he's talking about, she looks to the older women of the camp group. Milla Vodello, Gloriosa Daisy, Huntress Wizard, Violet and Gwen all share a look with each other and shake their heads. Ronnie then turn to Sunset's older sisters who all pointed to three women in the audience staring blankly ahead, who have flies swarming around them.
One of the women who is wearing a high collar grey jacket that covered most of her lower face and wore a pair of sunglasses with a wide brim hat... there was something off about her as it looks like there are cracks on her face... But then Ronnie just dissmisses it as her just being a non-human and turns back to the stage where Stan is still talking.
"As you know, I always bring the people of this fair town all manner of novelties and befuddlements, the likes of which the world has never known. But enough about me. Behold... me!" Stan shouted as he uncovers Wax Stan.
Soos makes a fanfare sound on his keyboard, then makes a "Ye-ah! Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-ah!" sound. Two people in the audience politely clap and someone coughs. Right before Sunset's sisters cheered loudly, causing many to stare at an embaressed Sunset.
"They like this kind of stuff," Sunset admits reluctantly.
"And now a word from our own Mabelangelo!" Stan said as he waves for Mabel to come onto the stage.
"It's Mabel," Mabel said as she takes the microphone. "Thank you for coming! I made this sculpture with my own two hands! It's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids!"
"Ewwwwww," most of the audiences groaned.
"Yeah. I will now take questions!" Mabel said as she points to Old Man McGucket. "You there!"
"Old Man McGucket, local kook. Are the wax figures alive? And follow-up question, can I survive the wax-man uprising?"
"Um...Yes! Next question!" Mabel said pointing to Toby Determined.
"Toby Determined," said man said holding up his 'microphone'. "Toby Determined, Gravity Falls Gossiper. Do you really think this constitutes a wonder of the world?"
"Your microphone's a turkey baster, Toby," Stan pointed out.
"It certainly is-," Toby admitted with a defeated sigh.
"Next question," Stan said pointing to Shandra Jimenez.
"Shandra Jimenez, a real reporter. Your flyers promised free pizza with admission to this event," she said showing the flyer. "Is this true?"
"uh, That's suppose to say a raffle for a free pizza," said Stan quickly while hastily holding up a pizza box...his eyes darting back and forth.
"WHAT!" Rainbow Dash shouted out while many others in the audiences start getting mad as well.
"I told Pinkie over there- Stan pointed to Pinkie the pony -For the flyers to say one person will win a free pizza with admission."
"I thought you meant free pizza for everyone," Pinkie insisted while sweating under the glares around her.
"There you go, you all your wasted time is because of Pinkie there. Good night, everyone!" Stan said as he uses a smoke bomb to escape, taking the admission fee with him and leaving Pinkie by herself with an angry mob.
"BYE!" Pinkie shouted as she runs away.
"Don't worry everyone," Sunset said. "I'll just hire her again to work the dunking booth at the waterpark."
"Why would she do that?" Shandra asked.
"She needs the money," Sunset said with a shrug.
...the next day...
Luna poked her head into her sister's Celestia room...she'd been locking herself in her more and more. Inside she found her sister laying in bed as she has been doing since Sunset's family had moved in. Celestia had been trying to mend the bond she use to share with Sunset but all of her attempts in doing do failed. As Sunset kept saying she'd had her chance and blew it...it also didn't help she kept trying to get Sunset to go easier on the ponies...
Luna has seen how her parents, Mr and Mrs Scotdale interacted with Sunset. A far cry from how Celestia interacted with Sunset. Celestia did adopted Sunset but she treated her more as her student then as a mother as she should had been. All of her attempts at bonding with Sunset were more as a teacher then mother. To be fair, Celestia was a better teacher then mother...but that just wasn't what Sunset needed...what she ALWAYS needed.
"You can't be doing this to yourself," Luna said.
"What's the point? I lost my power, my crown, my kingdom, and my daughter," Celestia said somberly.
"Come now sister...perhaps we can have a mares night out? Gather some friends and have-
"I don't have friends, just subjects," Interupted Celestia in sad resignation.
"What?" Asked Luna baffled
"I'm a prime example of 'The Cobbler's Children Have No Shoes' in effect," elaborated Celestia.
"Again, What?"
"I Read it on tv tropes online. It means a character is very good at their profession but is completely unable or unwilling to use this ability to help themselves or their own family. In my case I was a mother figure for all ...except the one that mattered, my own daughter Sunset." (2)
Before Luna could say anything of comfort...
CRASH!
GET PINKIE!
The two alicorns found themselves trampled as the 4th wall of the room shatters and a familiar pink pony is chased by an angry mob...
...
The Royal Flush Waterpark resort was a popular resort during the summer tourist run. But even during the fall and winter months, the indoor pools and heated pools stay open. There are also the spa areas, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, even having different types of baths, like an Asian bathhouse for those who wanted to try, for people to wash themselves after enjoying the pools. It's also one of the resorts that is partly owned by Sunset, with the waterpark being directly owned by her.
"Dude you do know that just about everyone at the wax opening has a reason to chop off the wax statue of Stan," Wendy said to Dipper.
The two were currently looking into the 'death' of Wax Stan- mostly because they had nothing else to do -Dipper had originally wanted to do this with Mable...but thanks to all the recent events and 'visions'...he decided to do this with Wendy instead...among other reasons...
"I know, but thankfully we can write off a lot of them thanks to most of them having formed a mob and are now repeatedly dunking Pinkie Pie at the dunking booth." Continued Dipper, pointing to said dunking booth.
"that plus the fact the axe was left handed, a shoe that has a hole in it, and the time when the crime happened leaves us with only a few people to find," Dipper said happily.
"Well there is only a few people left on the list," Wendy said. "Hey why did you ask me?"
Dipper blushes and starts to get a bit sweaty, "Oh...y'know...just thought I'd do something different...something on my own... spend time away from her and be on my own- cough -I mean! Also you know more about Gravity Falls and the places around it. And that you have a trike to get us around," said Dipper quickly... the 'also your amazing and sexy' reason was of course left out.
"Yeah it's my mom's," Wendy said...trying very hard to ignore a certain tantalizing 'scent' in the air...
"Haven't seen your mom yet," Dipper said, quickly changing the conversation.
"Yeah, mom is always busy at work."
"What does she do?"
"She works at at the Mystic resort the Native American theme resort with most of the workers being native non humans"
"You're mom is a non human?"
"Yeah She's a... deer woman." Admitted Wendy reluctantly.
"Wait you mean one of those shape shifters?" Dipper asked while racking his memory of what he knew about that particular folklore.
"Yeah, mom met dad when he was cutting down some trees and they hooked up," Wendy explained...while trying to hide her blush as she remembers the original X-rated version of the story...
Her father had been cutting trees when he found an injured nymph who's tree had been badly damaged during a recent storm. He'd tried to heal her but her mom had been nearby and saw him coming at her with an axe, assumed the worst and tried to attack him. Believing her to be a predator trying to kill the Nymph, Manly Dan had responded in kind.
Believing him to be another asshole trying to rape an innocent Nymph, her mother had tried to rape him and suck his life force dry as a fitting punishment...
However her dad had- Wendy always threw up in her mouth a bit at this part -'enjoyed' this and it had turned him on...
Her mother- being young and inexperienced at this point -was completely unprepared and overwhelemd by the pure BLISS of the large amount of arousal and lust coming from Dan...which essentially left her deeply intoxicated...
One thing lead to another...the nymph was quick to clear things up...then join them in a threesome...the Wendy's future aunts showed up to join the party...
"So do you and your brothers have any powers?" Dipper asked, mercifully breaking Wendy out of her traumatic reminiscing of her mothers graphic storytelling.
"My brothers don't have any powers but for me once I'm an adult, I'll be able to transform into a deer like mom...among other things" Wendy quietly says that last bit turning a shade of crimson that matches her hair.
"Wait, don't deer women kill men?" Dipper asked concerned, not noticing Wendy's discomfort.
"No, that's not true!" Wendy then looks conflicted and give a out a nervous cough, "...most of the time anyways. It depends on the situation," Wendy defended awkwardly.
"Oh, ok," Wendy let's out a sigh of releif as Dipper drops the subject and goes back to the list of suspects.
"Who's next?" Asked Wendy, happy to be moving on from her least favorite subject.
"Human Rainbow Dash, who should be working here."
"Hey there's Sunset we can ask her," said Wendy spotting the girl.
Dipper look up from the list and saw Sunset in a one piece swimsuit who is talking with a shorter girl with long blonde hair who is also dressed in a one piece. But what REALLY caught his attention is Sunset's sisters who are all wearing different swimsuits, but with how big and shapely they are...
Dipper had to quickly look away as his little Dipper began to go stiff.
A flustered Wendy took a sniff of the air on reflex and went red a she too felt herself go horny from the scent of Dipper's arousal...
They both quickly focused on the two older redheads who they guessed were the parents, Mr. Scotdale who had on a pair of swim trunks and a shirt, and Mrs. Scotdale who is dressed in a one piece made to fit her... 'body frame' for lack of a better term that wasn't rude.
"Is that Sunset's mom?" Dipper asked as he mercifully calmed down.
"Yup and don't make her mad as she's super strong," a flustered Wendy said quickly walking to the group and away from the intoxicating aroma of her new friends awakening desires.
"Hi Dipper, Wendy," Sunset said. "This is Pacifica Northwest."
"Hello," Pacifica greeted. Ordinarily, she wouldn't be so cordial to a pair of commoners or a CORDUROY...but it wouldn't do to be mean to clear friends of one of her dads most important partners.
"Hi," Dipper said having brief flashes with images of said girl...some mean...but others...he wanted to say 'nice'?
"Do you know where Rainbow Dash is?" Wendy asked, ignoring the blonde who's family had caused hers nothing but trouble.
"Last time I saw her she was taking her break at the bathhouse, why do you two need to see her anyway?" Sunset asked curious.
"We're here to find out who went and chopped off the head of wax Stan," Wendy explains.
"Well don't look at me or my sisters, they like his stuff and I don't care enough to do it," Sunset said flatly.
"We already ruled you and your sisters out as well as anyone who couldn't had been in Gravity Falls when the chopping took place. Rainbow Dash is the next person we're going to see," Dipper said.
"Any clues?" Sunset asked and the two of them gave her the full recap.
"Ok, I'll look into this. Go ahead and talk to Rainbow. Just remember that the bathhouse has Mr. Handies in it. They're there to stop people from messing around, and to stop tsundere's from going around and hitting guys. Also, all the baths are mandatory co-ed your not allowed clothes. If someone acts perverted, report it and the offender will be punished accordingly. But any physical attacks will be punished with your clothes confiscated, your hands tied behind your back and being kicked out of the park to run home naked." Sunset said earning her baffled and slightly unnerved stares from Dipper and Wendy.
Sunset sighs, "Had a bunch of Japanese magical girls coming here trying to see if Gravity Falls would restore their powers. It didn't and there were a lot of Japanese girls going around hitting guys for anything they thought was 'perverted'. Which was stupid to begin with seeing how many of them are dressed how could they NOT expect people to stare at them? Anyway, the End result was many being jailed, fine and sued AFTER punching me through a wall when the boy they were trying to hit ducked." She grumbled that last bit.
"Oh yeah, I think I saw that on the news," Dipper said thoughtfully.
"Needless to say: many of them are now banned from traveling to the US. Seeing how many of them just don't understand how them going around shouting pervert and hitting people won't result in them getting the cops on them, and I'm just completely done with them! Naked is naked, get over it already!" Sunset exclaimed, her relaxed view on nudity was one of the few pony ideals she held onto. It didn't hurt that with so many non-humans with so many conflicting views of 'nudity', public nudity laws have been largely deemed- although technically still on the books -to be completely unenforceable.
"Alright then," Dipper said as he and Wendy quickly headed for the bath house to let the Princess simmer down.
Inside are people going to one of the different baths for either cleaning themselves off or to relax in one of the spas. There is a men and women's side with robot guards of Mr. Handies to keep things running smoothly. These have pincers on 2 of their arms and a pepper sprayer/tazer on the third.
On the walls are pictures of famous people who have visited the resort, but what caught Dipper's attention were the magical girl groups: Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, Ojamajo Doremi, the many different Precure groups, Onegai My Melody, Wedding Peach, Glitter Force and Magical Meow Meow.
There were also some non-Japanese magical girls; Winx Club, LoliRock, W.I.T.C.H., Angel's Friends, and Sky Dancers. He also noticed how many news clippings have been framed showing magical girls and other Tsundere's being arrested and banned from the resort.
Sadly, Rainbow was in the Co-ed part and the robots refused to let them in unless they were naked. Wendy could smell the anxiety, shame and repressed lust coming from Dipper...
"I'll just go in and talk to her myself Dipper, it's fine. Why don't you go into the steam room and relax, it looks nice." Reassured Wendy.
She quickly changes in a nearby stall, she leaves in just a towel...Dipper flusters but keeps his eyes on the ground...Wendy almost felt drunk from all the hormones she was taking in. She was getting so intoxicated, she nearly let her towel drop in front of Dipper before catching herself and quickly ran inside...
'what is wrong with me? hybrids like me don't start getting our powers for at least a couple more years! And why around Dipper?! He's several years younger then me for crying out loud!...not that he isn't a great guy...'
Wendy was so busy with this internal conflict-
CRACK!
-She never saw it coming...
Meanwhile, Dipper dose as Wendy suggests and enter the steam room with just a towel on. The room had wooden benches and rubber mats to keep people from slipping on the wet floor.
Dipper sat back and let himself relax, letting himself drift off as he used this time to remember those flashes that he's been having since the merge. The clearest images that he could remember is a rundown apartment where Mabel lives with a pig. He seems to be visiting her and giving her money to live on...
Dipper eyes narrowed as he spots someone in a black suit standing in the doorway. He couldn't make out the man's face thanks to all the steam in the air, all he could make out was a blank white bald head. The longer he look at the man he felt something pressing at the back of his head like one of those flashes that he gets. The flash hit as Wendy with her back turned to him is heading toward a jacuzzi- Wait, why'd she fall down!? Was she hit!? She's falling into the pool with the bubbles hiding her body!
Dipper eyes shot open once the flash was over, the 'man' who stood in the doorway now gone. Dipper rush out of the room, losing his towel as he did so. He didn't care as he ran for the Jacuzzi's The Mr. Handy's race after him as Dipper search the jacuzzi's for the one that held Wendy. One of which has Sunset, Pacifica and some of her sisters in it who are all in their swimsuits.
"Dipper?" Sunset gasped in shock seeing Dipper standing there naked.
"Eww," Pacifica said seeing Dipper's little bits hanging out in the open.
"Not much for an eww," Oban said with a snicker.
"He's still a kid," Shanath defended while also giggling.
"And he's just around Pacifica's height," Cora added while also stifling a laugh.
"He hasn't gone through his growth spurt yet," Kina affirms while also looking amused.
"Need to find Wendy," said an oblivious yet focused Dipper running off with the Mr. Handy's chasing after him.
Dipper finally came upon an empty room with the bubbles turned on and spots long red hair floating among the bubbles. Dipper drove in and grab Wendy lifting her head out of the water. Dipper struggle as he tries to lift Wendy out of the water. He didn't have the strength to lift her completely out, but he was able to bring her head up out of the water...but she clearly wasn't breathing! No time for awkwardness, he starts to give her CPR.
Given how he had to both hold her up and do this...this would've been doomed to fail if Wendy were PURE human...fortunately she was half deer woman, giving her just enough extra vitality to-
RETCH!
Wendy coughed out the water...and looked right up at a relived Dipper... "I...Dipper?"
WHACK!
DIPPER, STOP TOUCHING HER YOU PERVERT!
The sight of the boy who'd saved her being punched by his newly arrived sister, naturally didn't sit well with Wendy-
POW!
-Who responded in kind.
Fortunately, Susnet and the rest of the crowd that had gathered to see the spectacle was able to pull the pissed off Wendy from Mable.
"What happened?" Asked Sunset.
"Someone hit me in the back of the head and tried to drown me."
"And I had a strange vision that showed me that happening."
"And I just came here wondering what Dipp- DIPPER YOUR NAKED!" Mabel shouted suddenly while nursing her black eye.
"What?" Dipper asked looking down and saw that he's naked in front of a bunch of women. He quickly drove into the water to hide.
"Why you hiding? No one could see anything anyway." Teased Pacifica...while also being a little jealous a Corduroy has a guy willing to humiliate himself to save her...
"Hey! Be nice!" Asserts Sunset as she gives her a dope slap.
"I can't believe it that you went without me just so you could run around naked," Mabel said annoyed.
"No he didn't, he saved my life," Wendy affirmed irritably.
"He did?" Mabel asked, having been too busy nursing her eye to listen...
"Yes he did, and be glad your just a little kid and we have more important things to focus on, otherwise I'd have the Handy's strip you and make you streak home!" Snarled Sunset annoyed, scaring Mable further...
Sunset then turns to Dipper, "Also Dipper, that was a pretty heroic thing you did just now- don't get me wrong -but next time just alert the robots. Among other things they have tubes to suck water out of lungs and fill them with air."
Dipper face-palmed and groaned as he realized he'd basically flashed his goodies to everyone for nothing. Wendy giggled and gave him a hug in thanks...and then immediately remembered They were both still naked and immediately went to opposite sides of the Jacuzzi.
Everyone- minus an a certain annoyed blonde - giggled at the two flustered adolescents actions. But Sunset was quick to stifle her mirth and get everyone attention.
"Okay everyone, listen up! This whole 'Wax Stan' thing is now a REAL, legit crime case now! That means we need to take it seriously! So Mable you can come with, but no more 'tsundere antics', got it?
"Okay, I'm Sorry," Mabel said feeling down.
"Wait how'd you even get here?" Dipper asked.
"I got a ride from Soos," Mabel said pointing behind her.
The crowd looked to see Soos standing there.
"Yo," Said the Handyman.
"Alright someone get these two a towel, I'll question Rainbow Dash just to be thorough. But after that- she pauses to put on sunglasses -this perp's STREAK of luck comes to an end."
YEEAAAAH!
Everyone looks behind to see a random guy who'd just screamed. "Sorry, stepped on a nail..." He mumbled
...
In front of the Gravity Falls Gossiper, Dipper, Mabel, and Soos are there with Blubs, Durland and officer Public. Wendy went home after being nearly killed- well that was the reason she GAVE, but really she just needed to got some deer lady hormone suppressants FAST.
Officer Public Reasons that whoever tried to kill her might also be the one who chopped the head off of wax Stan. In fact he was starting to wonder if someone had been trying to kill him but got wax Stan by mistake. Both Blubs and Durland are inside questioning Toby Determined while the others waited outside.
Officer Public used to be Private Public who used to work for General Specific who ran the Secret Military Organization which chased after a sheep named Sheep. So that Sheep could be used to power a sheep powered ray gun...yeah, we don't get it either but just roll with it...
Anyway, after the merge they were shut down and everyone had to find new jobs. Sunset was quick to hire most of the old soldiers. She then gave Public the job to help the Gravity Falls police force become more competent. And after a year of hard training, reorganization, discipline and having doctors check out strange 'abnormalities' in their brain chemistry.
"Wow I still can't believe you used to work for an army who spent millions trying to catch one Sheep," Mabel said baffled.
"I know, which is why it has been shut down," Explained Officer Public.
"What happend to everyone else you used to work with?" Soos asked.
"Lady Richington lost all her money and ended jail after attacking so many people with her steel wig, General Specific is now Baker Specific, Sheep and Swanky are now living on the farm of Farmer John, The Angry Scientist is now working for the government, The Plot Device is working with me at the station and Oxymoron collapsed and went bankrupt. Thanks to a combination of numerous safety violations, people dying from their quicksand rentals and life-force powered lights, constantly breaking and entering into people's homes to shoot commercials and no one buying their insane products since the merge."
"'The Big City' seems to have been like 'The City' in how many things are allowed to happen," Dipper noticed thoughtfully
"Alright you can all come inside," Durland said opening the door of the newspaper building.
Once inside they were informed that Toby couldn't have been the one who chopped the head off of wax Stan or the one who attacked Wendy. He had security footage of him inside the building at both times. He does have a hole in his shoe but it's the wrong size.
"If I were you, I'd be embarrassed," Toby mocked the kids.
"Sir, with all due respect...," Public said glaring at Toby. "A grown man who has nothing better to do with his Saturday night then make out with a cardboard cut-out has no business judging others."
"Awww," Toby groaned.
"Oh! Burn!" Blubs said as he and Durland laughs at Toby.
"Hey, you know what? Now that I look at it more closely... isn't this the same axe that one wax woman was holding?" Soos asked as he examines the evidence inquisitively.
"The what's-her-name who chopped her parents up?" Durland asked.
"We just figure that whoever did it just grabbed it from her," Mabel said with a shrug.
"Unless... it's really one of the wax statues that did it! Which would also explain why there isn't any fingerprints on the axe!" Dipper reasoned suddenly.
Mable rolled her eyes, "Dipper this is serious, we don't have time for your-
"Wait a minute, hold the phone...Dipper might be on to something." Said Sunset who'd come along.
"Say what now?" Asked a dumbstruck Mable. No one EVER took Dipper serious! It was DIPPER for crying out loud!
"Is there a hole in the wax dummies shoes?" Asked Officer Public.
"Well...okay technically there are holes in the shoe is where I poured the wax into the mold, but come on guys. Wax figures? That's just silly." Mabel adds dismissively.
Everyone looks at her weird. "Uh...Mable? You live in a world that was forcibly merged with hundreds of other crazier worlds and have seen gnomes, giant mechanical abominations, borderline demonic cats and sea monsters...why is this so hard to believe?"
Mable was again thrown by the show of support Dipper's 'crackpot theory' was getting...what was happening here?
"Uh...?" Mable babbled, unsure how to respond-
Thankfully Dipper interrupts, "Never mind that now. Guys I just thought of something: we have Living wax statues who have been locked away for over 10 years and now want revenge on the one who locked them away..." Dipper trails off as everyone went pale as they realized what he was saying...
"Quick, to the shack!" Public shouted as they all ran.
...
Once the group got to the shack they found Frank the two headed dog barking wildly and trying to get out of the outdoor fence he's kept in. Mabel quickly freed Frank who raced into the shack with the others and burst into the room where the wake for wax Stan is being held.
Dipper and the others found Stan tied to the chair with magical runes written around on the floor. And he's surrounded by the wax statues who had been placed on chairs in front of the coffin that held wax Stan. There is also the woman who was at the opening in the high collar grey jacket there as well.
"Hands up!" Blubs shouted as he, Durland and Public aim their guns at the woman.
They rush forward as Frank leaped into action barking wildly forcing the woman to back away from Stan while Soos and the kids went for Stan.
"So it's that woman," Dipper said as he helped untie Stan.
"Thanks kids," Stan said getting up.
"Oh, I wouldn't thank them just yet," wax Sherlock Holmes said as he and the other wax statues came to life.
"So you are alive!" Mabel gasped. "Are you magic?"
"No, we're cursed. Only coming to life when the moon is waxing. And we will have revenge on Stan by bringing to life the wax statue of our fallen number," wax Holmes said.
"Y'know if you'd just TOLD me you were alive, I wouldn't have locked you up in the first place." Pointed out Stan gruffly.
The wax figures looked at him stunned, "Wait...for real?" Asked wax Coolio in disbelief.
"Well...yeah! I'm all about using oddities to rake in the dough! Your a bunch of freaking LIVING wax people. I'd have made a killing on a 'moonlight wax tour of hell'...or something like that. Heck, I'd have probably let you leave the shack; renting you out to parties, pranks, or Celebrity stand-in's!" Exclaimed Stan in both sincerity and annoyance that he'd literally let such a profitable venture slip through his fingers...
There was a LONG, awkward pause...
"Wow...we really didn't think this through." Said an embarrassed Wax Sherlock as he realized he and his friends suffering had actually been very easy to avoid... "Hey, I don't suppose-
"Hold it! We had a deal! And unless you want to end up like honest Abe, you'd better not try to screw me over!" Snapped the woman as she flicked her fingers, causing the other wax people to briefly glow in a magic haze...
The wax figures shudder, but concede. "Sorry, but the deal we made with her was magically binding." Admitted Wax Sherlock as they advanced.
"Hey, wait. If you can only be brought to life by a waxing moon how is that one alive?" Dipper asked pointing to the woman.
"Oh, our old friend isn't QUITE like us," wax Holmes said with a smirk.
The woman took off her jacket, hat and glasses, revealing that she's a living female mannequin. Who leaps at the 3 cops who fired their guns at her but didn't stop her even as bullet holes and pieces of her were blasted off. Forcing the 3 cops to take her on hand to hand, with Frank biting at the female mannequin. (3)
"Rusty bodyguard mode!" Soos shouted as the wax statues advanced on him, Stan and the kids.
Bursting into the room the Mr. Handy, Rusty hearing the voice command from Soos activated and rush to save it's owners. The wax statues all gasp in horror seeing the welding torch and saw blade that Rusty is armed with. Rusty attack the wax statues chopping off heads and melting them.
Meanwhile, Sunset had stayed outside just in case it was an ambush, she watched and charged in just as they distracted with Rusty...
Soon the wax statues- caught in this pincer movement - were all taken care of thanks to the combined efforts of the two.
The female mannequin was the only on not down and out, after throwing a flash bang down, she grabs Dipper and is about to run with him as a hostage-
GROWL!
CRACK!
A red doe slams into her from behind, sprawling her out and catching Dipper by the scruff of his neck...Dipper looks up stunned at the RED Doe's GREEN, radiant eyes...
"Wendy?" He asks amazed. She gives him an affectionate nuzzle, "Now were even" She says with a smile...all the while resisting the burning impulse in her loins that compels her to untransform, expose her nudity to the world and ravish the boy in front of her...
Meanwhile, the others take advantage of the ladies disorientation to pounce on her. Breaking off her limbs just to be sure she could no longer move...before throwing the rest of her into the fire...
"Ok, it's over now," Sunset said as she and the others grab wax parts and threw them into the fireplace as well.
"We'll also be taking wax Stan just in case," said Public.
"Sure go ahead," Said an exhausted Stan dismissively. "I'm through with wax statues."
"Don't worry we got them all." Mabel said as she tossed the screaming head of wax Shakespeare into the roaring fire.
After double-checking to make sure they didn't miss any parts, Public asked all of them to come with them to file a report at the station.
Dipper asked if he could ride there on Wendy, a flustered Wendy politely refuses...and quickly runs home...the idea of Dipper ridding on her 'technically' naked form...she needed a COLD shower FAST!
As they left the room they didn't see the air vent cover that's under a table having been opened. Out of it pops Larry King...who- after making sure the coast is clear...hops outside...
He then sees someone, "Oh, it's you! Hey what gives!? You told us if we helped you bop off the red head and make a deal with that mannequin lady you'd assure our victory!"
The man said nothing...he just snapped his fingers and sets the head on fire...he then walks into a tree...leaving nothing behind saved for a crude drawing of a man with no face and the words...
ALWAYS WATCHES
NO EYES...

1 - Seeing how small women normally have a hard time giving birth with a c-section being used sometimes. I just figure that very large women would have an easier time, not to mention that their skeleton which would be bigger and wider, would have the hips that are wider then a smaller woman and be able to spread wider during birth.

Soos Happily texts back and forth with his new buddy...
BEE-sharp : I tell you, it's nuts. One moment your making a stunning legal victory on behalf of your entire species... the next your world is merged with several others and it's all rendered meaningless!
MysterymanJr : What do you mean? what happened?
BEE-sharp : Well, when things quieted down...I mean, we tried to get our verdict enforced. But the current government took one look at our case and threw it out the window!
MysterymanJr : Really?
BEE-sharp : Yeah, apparently for one thing you can't sue an entire species; it's too broad, complicated and discriminatory. Secondly; everything we demanded was either unreasonable, exceeding the judges authority to give, or was just plain unconstitutional. Third; technically, before we revealed we could speak we were legally deemed 'chattle' and thus it was perfectly legal for them to take honey from us. And finally; a talking Bee and a florist can't just represent a case. They have to be REAL, licensed lawyers.
MysterymanJr : Bummer
BEE-sharp : Ah, it's not so bad. Among other things we were immediately given equal human rights. Plus, it was pretty funny seeing Layton T. Montgomery and his legal team being forced to go back to lawyer school. They then replaced him with this new guy: Phoenix Wright, He was fresh from getting his license back apparently. He convinced the honey companies that it would be good PR to both free all their 'sentient' Bees before they legally gain the same rights as humans and give us a very large donation in money as a sign of Good faith. I mean, technically they only did it for good PR and because the whole thing can count as a charity write-off... but hey, were rich now.
MysterymanJr : Wait, so it was only the sentient Bees?
BEE-sharp : Yeah, all the normal Bees are still getting their honey taken. But honestly? I can't be bothered to care about that. My mom went to give the nearby 'normal' hive a hive warming gift... and they tried to kill her! I mean, Who does that? Seriously!
MysterymanJr : That's rough buddy.
BEE-sharp : Yeah, things didn't go quite how I wanted, but I guess I can't complain. We bee's are rich now, were selling our honey competitively. I tell you the novelty of 'naturally' made honey made by sentient bee's who can talk is a huge hit right now. Y'know there are people who are actually willing to PAY to watch us work! It's crazy!
"Soos what are you doing?" Stan asked.
"Texting with my new friend, Barry Benson," Said Soos holding up his phone.
"Well stop it, We're going to that Gil... what's his name again? Whatever, it's that kid who dose the 'mind reading' scam. The kids want to see his show," said Stan.
"Ok," Soos said texting his new bee friend he needs to get back to work.

Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through

...
Harry has been enjoying working as a counselor at the camp, helping the non-magical and magical kids get along together. He also thinks up activities that will help the formerly wizard kids adapt to everyday mundane life...Perhaps a make-shift assembly line where they learned how to put together objects by hand WITHOUT magic?
He's interrupted from his thoughts as he sees a familiar sight coming through the bushes...
"Oh, for the love of-" Harry groans then turns to the kids. "Kids, go get security."
The kids do as asked, leaving Harry to deal with a ghost from his past.
"Professor Dumbledore; you realize your breaking the restraining order, right?" Harry asked annoyed.
"Harry, please! Whatever grievance you have with me, you must put them aside! Were all in danger!" Said Dumbeldore, not looking well. The loss of magic had more or less robbed him of almost all the vitality and vigor he still had in his old age.
"GRIEVANCE!? Where in your senile mind, do you justify trivializing 'massacring hundreds of children' as a 'grievance'!?" Harry demanded enraged.
"Harry, you know I had nothing to do with that," said Dumbledore hurt.
"You may not have wanted it, but you didn't STOP them either!" Harry pointed out angrily.
"I came to you!" Dumbledore pointed out.
Harry rolled his eyes."Yes, you came to a teenage boy to stop hundreds of idiot adults committing a massacre instead of using your charisma, influence, or political clout to sway them or go to the AUTHORITIES. Yeah, that's not insane or anything!"
"Harry, please! We don't have time for this! Grindelwald took advantage of the chaos of the merger to escape his prison! He also killed the policeman who confiscated my elder wand and stole it from the evidence locker! I've learned he's coming to Gravity Falls to regain both his magic and the wands!" Dumbledore said.
Harry let out a groan. "Let me guess...you told no one else this and came straight to me?"
"Harry the few sources and supporters that I have left, all refuse to have anything to do with the muggles. They only gave me this info if I promised to tell only YOU," Dumbledore explains exasperated.
"And that isn't a red flag on how bad our society is? They'd rather be murdered by a mad man then ask help from those who aren't 'like' them?" Harry asked irritably.
"Harry, PLEASE. I'm not long from this world... I NEED a successor. Someone who can lead wizardkind through these dark times," Dumbeldore said.
"And I'M qualified, HOW? Because a society of racists decided a TODDLER killed a monster instead of his 'mudblood' mothers sacrifice?" Harry asked rhetorically.
"Harry you have the ear of the younger generation," Dumbeldore pointed out.
"Because I told them to ditch the sinking ship that was there parents fruitless attempt to rebuild their precious, backward world!" Harry exclaimed aggravated.
"The point is, in time I'm sure you could help our people out of the darkness," said Dumbeldore hopeful
"You can't help people who don't want to be helped. Without magic, inbreeding and old age killed off half of them within a year! Jenny, Jake, Juniper, the UN, EVERYONE offered to help them rebuild their society and each time they refused it!" Harry said shaking his head. "No Dumbledore. Their YOUR people, not mine. They stopped being MY people the day they decided it was better to murder children then ask for help! And even if Grindelwald brings the wand here, it wouldn't work. I should know, I tried with my own wand to see if it would work here and it didn't."
"Harry, what of Grindelwald then?" Dumbeldore asked desperately. He knew- magic or no -his fallen friend was still dangerous!
"You want a hero? Go find my friend Korra- Wait, strike that. She's on a well-deserved vacation. Go get Raz, Heaven help him. That kid actually WANTS to be the 'chosen one' and unlike ME he had competent teachers that made him pretty dang good at it!" said Harry getting more and more irritated with this conversation.
"Harry, I taught you-
"What? That love conquers all? Yeah, REAL useful in a firefight! Friendship is magic? Okay, good for making allies to fight by your side... except of course, if your a mentally-abused/neglected child with almost no social skills! A bunch of 'home movies' to 'learn' about your enemy? Aside from some debatable psychological insights and learning about possible macguffins, that was basically useless! All the while never teaching me anything that I couldn't have learned elsewhere. The police found your journals, your whole 'plan' for me was basically 'have everyone keep their fingers crossed and hope that Harry figures out my convoluted plan in time to pull out a miracle!' I can't trust you as you clearly never trusted me at all. You only saw me as a piece on the chess board, never caring about what would make me happy or what I wanted," said Harry somberly.
"Harry...I- Dumbledore was interrupted when he was suddenly surrounded by psychic energy.
"Mr. Dumbledore, your currently trespassing and violating a restraining order. I don't want to be rough on you, but I WILL if I have to. Please come in quietly," said Sasha.
Dumbledore fruitlessly struggles as he's levitated away and pleads to Harry who just walks away. (1)
...
Dib was in his Cabin looking through the many different magical objects that he had collected on either the internet or on his own adventures. The ones that he's currently looking through are the Shen Gong Wu items that he'd bought from some monks who were desperate to pay for the Temple upkeep. Their purpose of being Xiaolin Dragons was rendered moot as both the Wu and the Heylin villains were now powerless. Also- unlike in the show -the arm forces didn't just stand back and do nothing, as Chase Young found out. He and his cats were gunned down by soldiers even with his Dragon form on. And thus, all but one Xiaolin Dragon left to return home.
His stash included:
Ninja Sash : allows the user to create up to two doubles of themselves.
Mask of Rio: helps the user to blend into his surroundings.
Danger Sneakers : warn its user of impending danger.
Wings of Tinabi: grants the user the ability to fly, leaving behind a rainbow trail.
Wushu Helmet: protects the user's head by deflecting attacks and projectiles.
Eagle Scope: transforms into a telescope, granting the user eagle-like vision.
Jetbootsu: allows the user to defy gravity.
Mantis Flip Coin: allows the user to jump incredible heights.
Third-Arm Sash: acts like a third arm for the user.
And the Helmet of Jong: allows the user to see behind them as though they have eyes on the back of their heads.
Like most magical items, they lost their magic over time after the merge happened. With only some magical items either being more passive or having some other exception that excluded them form being drained. Those magical items are now closely guarded by those who have them. This often lead to people killing each other just for something like a chair that would always teleport under someone when they were tired.
"Ok, so it looks like Gravity Falls magic allows people to regain passive magical abilities and recharges most magical items to what they were before the merge." Said Juniper said as she holds up a bed over her head with one arm.
"This is so cool," Exclaimed Ronnie as she wore the Helmet of Jong and could see right behind her. Lincoln is playing with the Mantis Flip Coin and Clyde is using the Third-Arm Sash.
"I can finally see what these items collected can actually do," said Dib happily.
Monroe and Fu Dog are looking over the other magical items that Dib brought with him. Both of them are taking turns using 'The Looking Glass', an eye piece that can let you see things that are impossible to see with the naked eye. Its effect are different for each user however. Currently, Monroe can see in the dark and Fu Dog can see colors.
"So can any of these shoot fireballs?" Asked Jake as he rummaged through the pile.
"Of course not, I'm not going to bring something like that to CHILDREN'S camp... Well, not on PURPOSE anyway," Dib admitted awkwardly remembering the 'Hockey Stick Incident'. (2)
"At least we know that the magical girl stuff doesn't work," said Ronnie holding up a former 'magical girl' talisman. "I can't believe how they were able to dress like that."
"Fighting in a mini skirt and those skimpy outfits was just dumb. Sure, having an outfit that allows you to move around freely like pro wrestlers is one thing. But most of them were long range fighters," rambled Juniper. (3)
"Not to mention that all it would take to defeat them was a anti-magic spell or a mute spell to keep them from casting spells," pointed out Spud.
"I wonder why that never happens?" Roger asked confused. Both he and Spud are messing around with a mirror shield that Dib had brought that reflects magic. (4)
"Plot device that works only in their world," Trixie said with a indifferent shrug. She's messing with a Babel Stone, that translates any language a person speaks or has spoken to them.
"Back in the Hunts Clan we had tons of different ways to depower magic users," Rose admitted. She's using hover boots that lets the wearer be able to walk in the air at 6 inches above the found. The wearer can fall from great heights with the boots stopping them from hitting the ground as they also stop at 6 inches as long as they land feet first.
"Reminds me of H.A.M," Remembered Jody while she Wore a Featherd Cape that allows the wearer to make large jumps and float down to the ground.
"Hey, whatever happened to those guys?" Asked Monroe suddenly.
"Last I heard, they're now working with the SCP to handle all the problems that happened after the merge happen," explained Ophelia as She examines an old oil lantern with a magical flame in it that never goes out.
"How did that happen?"asked Lila. She's holding a compass that points to where you want to go.
"They gave the new government all the information and research they had on the magical world in exchange for complete amnesty for all their past crimes. Which they were only able to do because the magical council didn't want anything to do with the muggles. Unfortunately, This deal has allowed many other anti-magic groups- even the more radical ones like Sei-Sei Shinto (The Armed Church of the True Disciples) -to make deals to avoid jail time and gain government backing," admitted Jake sadly.
"Well after what happened in the United Kingdom, I can't say I blame the government for cutting deals to make sure that doesn't happen here," Juniper reluctantly admitted.
"I don't know...it all feels like 'project Paperclip' all over again." Said Dib worried.
"Don't worry Dib, Jenny told me that Charles Goodwin himself assured that they'll all be closely monitored to make sure they don't get up to anymore mischief." Reassured Juniper.
"Well...Maybe." Said Dib, but he still didn't sound too sure.
"In any case, things HAVE gotten better. Especially with the magical world no longer hiding and erasing people's minds to keep the magic world a secret," pointed out Rose.
"Remember how the M.I.B. tried to erase everyone's minds so they could cover things up?" Said Lincoln suddenly.
"Yeah but it only worked on humans and not any other race," Said Lila shaking her head sadly.
"Well, MOST humans anyways. Not that it helped them seeing how many people had gotten extra paranoid after the magical councils attempt to erase everyone minds. Among other things; they've been keeping written records of day-to-day life, getting themselves hypnotized with post-hypnotic suggestions set to activate if their memory is ever erased, making magically-binding deals with groups of people to keep each other reminded of important facts, sending themselves delayed E-mails filled with records of their life, even wearing tinfoil hats! I doubt anyone is going to be able to successfully cover up the paranormal again," explained Dib.
"At least they're the main reason why non-humans are now in law enforcement," Lila pointed out happily.
"And the entire M.I.B. has been shut down and assimilated into the SCP," Fu Dog also pointed out.
Everyone reminisces on how The governments went after the branches of the M.I.B. that fund the organization. Many of the agents just left after both losing their funding and most of the higher ups were arrested for trying to mind wipe the world...
"All because they followed the mindset that people aren't ready for that fact that aliens are real and are living among us...similar to the magic leaders," finished Jake sadly.
"And you kids have shown us that were 'old fossils', our way of thinking is obsolete, insert comparison of the outdated belief of interracial couples being wrong. Yada, Yada, Yada. We heard you the first fifty times! You kids really lay it on thick," Said Monroe rolling his eyes. (5)
"Just making sure you all know how wrong you all are," said Juniper flatly.
"For us it's like saying because I'm black and shouldn't have equal rights, or that Jake is wrong not because he's a dragon but he's half Chinese," pointed out Trixie.
"We younger generation just don't care about the values and traditions that kept humans and non humans apart," said Jody firmly.
"Besides, none of the elders can ever answer the question of when would muggles be ready to accept non humans. Seeing how they would want to keep things hidden forever just so they would maintain their power," Jake pointed out annoyed.
"He's right about that," Fu Dog conceded. "Once the younger generation gave up on staying hidden, many of the magic council have lost their power. Now they're more like normal city councils who handle things like zoning laws and such...well, for the ones who still have a seat anyways..."
"Tell me about it. The magical council back home is now more of a self-elected community leadership then a government now. Hopefully, they'll allow democratic elections," said Monroe hopefully.
...
In their shared apartment Danny and Dani are playing a videogame together. Since the merge, Danny went public with him being Danny Phantom. He had no choice seeing how many of the people in this new world weren't fooled by his ghost form. Many people pointed out he looks the same with the same body built, voice, hair style, and how he acts. The only REAL difference is his white hair and glowing green eyes.
He also cut himself off from his family; seeing how his parents care more about ghosts then to ever be real parents or even NOTICE he's a ghost himself, His sister who only cared about him now that he's a ghost, And his friends who only cared to be his friend because of his powers just didn't want to be around him when he briefly lost them.
He pack his things and left everything behind. But not before he publicly beat Dash Baxter to a bloody mess in front of the school.
...Flashback...
"Stop!" Dash pleaded as he was lifted into the air by Danny.
"Why should I?" Danny asked as he drops him to the ground with a sickening crack as Dash landed on his right leg with his ankle breaking.
"My leg!" Dash shouted.
"You think that's enough for me?" Danny asked as he grabs Dash by the back of his head and slam his face into a bench with his upper teeth resting on the seat.
The crowd of students and teachers all watch as Danny slam his foot on top of Dash's head. The force of the blow on Dash's teeth, acted like a hammer and an anvil. Dash cried out as his upper teeth were broken or smashed out. Dash grabbed his mouth as he cried out in pain. Danny grabbed one of his arms and braced it against the bench and kick the upper half, snapping it in half, followed by the other.
Danny look down at the crying and begging jock who beat him for years. He look around at the staff and students of the school. They had watched this happen for so many years and only cared now because it's the other way around.
"Fenton stop this at once!" Mr. Lancer demanded.
"Or what? You'll give me detention?" Danny asks as he slams his foot on Dash's remaining good leg, breaking his kneecap. "You only care because Dash is a good football player. You have watched this happen to me and so many other kids for years... and you did NOTHING. Well good luck winning your precious state championship now!" Said Danny as he broke yet another of Dash's bones.
"Now Fenton...please calm down," Mr. Lancer pleaded.
"No," said Danny as he floats towards Mr. Lancer who backed in fear. "I'm going to give you a lesson."
Danny blasted Mr. Lancer with his ghost beam, leaving him naked. Danny then used his freeze breath on Mr. Lancer, encasing him in ice with only his head free. Mr. Lancer could only watch helplessly as Danny punched his face over and over, knocking teeth free with every punch. Danny only stopped punching when Mr. Lancer stopped moving. Danny then floated into the air and slammed himself into Dash one last time. Landing on his stomach, causing him to vomit up blood.
"Why did I ever bother saving any of you?" Danny asked the people around him.
He flew up into the air and blasted Lancers car. Followed by him stopping at Mr. Lancer's house to destroying that too. He then flew off far from the town that was once his home but no longer...actually, NO...it was NEVER a home...just the place he was born into...well...hopefully he could find a REAL home now...
...
Thanks to how confusing things were during the early days of the merge, the people in charge had better things to worry about then care about a jerk jock who was beaten and cripple. Or a teacher whose face was disfigured and all of his worldly belongings being destroyed. Not to mention having to deal with ghosts that were no longer kept at bay by said boy who beat the bully jock and teacher.
"Jazz called," Said Dani while they played the shooting game together.
"About what?" Danny asked without stopping the game.
"Just wanting you to know that they're doing ok," Dani said as she made her guy jump over a flaming toad.
"They want us to come back don't they?" Danny asked flatly as he executed the combo to slay the goblin.
"Yup," said Dani as she solved one of the games many puzzles.
"As if we're going to give up this," Danny said as he slayed yet another orc.
"Being bodyguards and heroes for hire isn't something I want to give up. Sunset pays us well and gave us this house for ourselves rent free," Dani pointed out.
"Besides, now that the government has forced my dad to FINALLY dismantle the ghost portal. The ghosts only have those portals that only open once in awhile to enter the living world. Between that and the reaper war, we haven't had to worry about them for over a year. " Adds Danny.
"Too bad that we still have to go to school," said Dani with a sigh.
"Well at least we don't have to hide the fact that we're superheroes and the school allows us to fly off when needed," said Danny happily.
"At least Sunset only calls us when there is something that the police can't handle on their own," Dani adds.
...
"That sounds rough," XJ-9 (aka Jenny) said to her friend, queen Vega of Cluster Prime through long range communications.
"Things here in space are still a mess. I managed to get my system under control, but only thanks to our alliance with the Gems," admitted Vega.
" From what I've seen; the loss of Irken's leaders and main fleet to that 'florpus' thing has thrown their entire empire into disarray. Now other space empires, pirates and warlords like that General Skun-ka'pe are taking advantage. not to mention the uprisings on all the planets they've conquered," Misty said who is now working for Vega.
"Also, The Resisty want to make an alliance with me so they can use the systems under my control to launch attacks on what's left of the Irken empire," Vega said.
"Anything else?" Jenny asked.
"Well our galaxy isn't the only one that is having issues," Vega said.
"From what I heard while I was in the Deviluke Empire. There's a race of robots fighting each other in a galaxy close to here that uses something call space bridges to get around. There are refugees from another galaxy that was destroyed by a warlord name Lord Dominator. The Incursean empire is at war with the Oni empire and a race called the Etherals in another galaxy. Also the Krang's are trying to form a galaxy federation that has some space powers already interested in joining. like the Zin empire, Octalians and Cylons." explained Misty.
"I don't trust that Zinyak..." Stated Vegas
"Me either, that should be one of the things we bring up when we meet with the Krang in a few days," Vega adds.
"I wish that I could help but we're busy here keeping things in order on Earth," Jenny admitted sadly.
"I find it odd how the merge caused some planets like Earth to have many different ones merging together, while other planets came out whole," Misty said perplexed.
"We're still trying to figure that out ourselves. Call you later," Jenny said switching off the screen as she looked around the space station she was in.
Talos 2 was built out of the remains of Talos 1; a advanced space station and laboratory that was orbiting the moon in it's universes year of 2035. From the surviving files they'd learned There'd been an alien outbreak of some kind of shapeshifters called Typhons. It would seem that someone on board blew up the main generator in such a way that only killed anything living or alien onboard but leaving everything else relatively intact. At first some just wanted to toss everything alien into the sun, but the Yu brothers research into helping humans gain the powers of eldritch beings and gain immunity to their eldritch-induced insanity was too valuable to discard.
Further investigation of the station lead to the discovery of neuromods that are made from that same alien race. The remaining samples were all locked away to prevent another outbreak while also being studied and researched, using the notes and data that managed to survive.
Charles Goodwin and the SCP Foundation helped fund and rebuild the space station for Jenny's family and their needs.
They got further funding from selling the technology they discovered in the wreckage. Jenny and her sister managed to get a fabricator and a recycler working and sold them to their mothers company: GAIA Prime. They also sold the Q-Beam, medkit, GLOO cannon, and the operators. Many weapon companies also bought many of guns and turrets.
Allowing the sisters to have their very own space station HQ. Which is protected by the many turrets and operators that maintain the station while the sisters are away.
That's how things went for months as the XJ sisters lived on the station, with XJ-9 and Sheldon giving her sisters upgrades so that their bodies would be more like hers.
XJ-1 through XJ-3 could now talk and be able to use their weapon systems better then they did before. They still have their old personalities but all their defects and glitches are now fixed... yet another thing their mother never bothered to do...
Speaking of Dr. Wakeman, this hasn't been the best year for her. Between trying to force XJ-9 to come back home , multiple attempts to lock up her sisters again, the revelation that she's building XJ-10 as a replacement for XJ-9 and with less personality so there's less chance of her rebelling...Charles Goodwin was able to convince the courts that Wakeman was unfit as a parent and allow the girls to be emancipated.
The whole situation saddened the XJ sisters, as despite what happened they hadn't wanted to cut Mrs. Wakeman out of their lives completely. She was their mother and they did have some good times...well, mostly XJ9. But still...
Thankfully, they found a new mother-figure in GAIA; the A.I. who controls the cauldrons. She also helped upgrade the younger sisters.
Mrs. Wakeman- realizing the error of her ways and is now seeking to do right by the girls -now works together with GAIA. The former is the CEO of the GAIA Prime company that uses the technology of the cauldrons and what was found at the space station. Outside observers have described their 'relationship' similar to that of a 'married couple constantly fighting over how to treat their kids'.
"Hey Jenny," Said Kenny as he walks into the room. Kenny is a dog/male version of Jenny built by Dr. Mogg who is a rival of Dr. Wakeman. His services have also been hired by the SCP Foundation.
"Another shuttle dock, it's the Russians this time," Kenny said.
"Restocking on food and such?" Jenny ask.
"Yup," Kenny said.
"I would had thought that living in space meant we could be by ourselves...but instead we've basically become gas station attendants," Jenny said with a sigh.
"We're not a gas station," defended Kenny in a rather annoyed way.
"Oh yeah?" said Jenny skeptically as she brings up a screen. Showing Melody- an advance android built by yet another rival named Dr. Locus. She used to have a crush on Brad but ended it after how poorly he treated Jenny. Jenny got her a job here as an apology for how poorly she treated her. -talking with the Russian crew as they stretch their legs and are enjoy taking their helmets off. She is helped by operators, Mr. Handy's and Protectrons to keep everything up and running.
"Well... the station is built to allow humans onboard," said Kenny stubbornly.
"That's for my aunt and cousin," said Jenny. Another addition tot he station was her aunt Wisteria Wakeman and her cousin Glenn Wakeman who is a bio-genetically created swamp-monster.
They live at the top of the station where the Arboretum is located. Which is where the majority of the station's food is grown, oxygen is made, and the green bio-fuel that the XJ sisters uses is created. Wisteria works on various agronomic breakthroughs, like super fruit.
"Don't forget Sheldon," said a finally resigned Kenny.
"I know," Jenny agreed, she then looks back at the screen to see the rockets of the crew being painstakingly repaired. "At least the governments that send these crews are paying us for all this."
"Don't forget the companies paying us for satellite repair, satellite recycling or selling abandoned satellites to collectors or astro-historians," Pointed out Kenny.
"We do need to make money for the stuff we can't make ourselves. We are living on our own now and I can't keep relying on Mr. Goodwins generosity. That's not fair to him, besides he has other troubles to deal with."
Jenny takes a moment to look around the satellite that had quickly become her home with a satisfied smile. "It's so nice to have a place where mom isn't in charge and I'm making it on my own... Unlike last time," Jenny said that last part irritably. She reminisces how the last time she moved out had been a disaster thanks to Brad's party messing everything up.
"Speaking of which, Tremorton hasn't been doing well since the merge," Kenny said thoughtfully.
"So what? I'd rather be helping people who are grateful for what I do and not when they need me more then I need them," Jenny said with a annoyed huff.
After the merge Tremorton- like other places -saw a downturn as the old order of things went down the drain.
Like the Crust cousins Brit and Tiff; their parents lost their fortune... mostly becuase no one understood how they were rich to begin with...not even them apparently.
Their parents were forced to sell all their assets to afford a roof over their heads and food on the table.
It didn't help matters that everyone knows that no matter what Jenny did for the people of Tremorton that they would never be grateful for anything she did and still expected her to save them.
This was mostly due to the fiasco of the Where the Skyway patrol and the mayor of Tremorton teamed up to capture Jenny and force her to return. They did this by putting BABIES in a dangerous situation, forcing Jenny to return and save them...thus falling right into their trap...
...or at least they would have if Charles Goodwin's agents hadn't backed her up and easily outflanked and gunned down the incompetent Skyway patrol and Tremerton police force.
Also, they'd bugged the Mayors limo beforehand and broadcasted his acceptance of the plan to almost murder babies to capture Jenny and erase her personality. But also how he and his citizens refused to be grateful to Jenny as she was just a machine and should be happy they don't just scrap her.
This not only caused the Skyway patrol to be shut down but also caused a global outcry that blacklisted the city, which is why the city is now bankrupt. Not to mention villains like the Hammer brothers and others wrecking the place without Jenny or the police- who were mostly killed by the agency -to keep them in check.
"So no going back to help them?" Kenny asked perplexed. Although equally angry at their treatment of Jenny...the concept of 'not helping humans' was still rather foreign to him...
"Not unless they pay me. If they're not going to be grateful for what I've been doing for FREE. Then I'm not going to do it anymore! Consider that bridge burnt and then some!"
Jenny sighed, although she understood the necessity... she'd be lying if she said it hadn't hurt a little to cast aside her old life...for all it's faults it had been a LARGE part of her life...and there had been some good times...but no, best not to dwell on that...what's done is done...and yet...
"I wish there was at least someone who was happy with me fighting crime, like our sponsor- AKA my new best friend! - Charles Goodwin and his Agency in Pacific City. He was so grateful for me taking down almost all the crime in that city that he had a national holiday declared in my honor! And an honest to Goodness statue!," Jenny said beaming. "It was wonderful..." She trailed off happily.
"Jenny!" Sheldon shouted as he rushed into the room.
"What is it?" Jenny asked her boyfriend concerned.
"The UN wants to use the station as a early defense station," Said Sheldon.
"What? And where will we live?" Jenny asked both confused and concerned.
"Well... seeing how we already work for the SCP, they want some personal to be brought up and man defenses and long range scanners. So if any aliens attack, We'll be ready for them," Sheldon explained.
"Why would we allow that?" Jenny asked annoyed. She finally found a home for herself frack it! No way was she giving that up!
"Jenny they are asking first," GAIA pointed out as she appears on the screen that Jenny had been using.
"They talk to you first, didn't they mom?" Asked Jenny.
"Yes and it will help a lot," GAIA reassured.
Jenny sighed, but relented. "Fine, I'll tell the others about it. But we'll only allow a UN crew to live here AFTER we stamp out a deal first," Jenny said firmly.
"That's my girl," said GAIA proud.
...
"Avatar! I demand you help us regain our power-
CRACK!
Korra beats the crap out of that Dragon eel spirit...binds him for the authorities...then goes back to the outdoor restaurant to enjoy her meal with Asami.
They both enjoyed the nice meal after marveling at the sights of the resort city in Canterlot. Both of them had needed this for such a long time...they just needed to get away from it all.
Things back home were still settling down, with a lot to get use to. Especially thanks to all the different cultures clashing together. But fortunately, the United States was used to this and had much experience bringing people together.
The benders still have their powers. But unlike in their old world, there are many ways for non-benders to keep up with their bender counterparts. Nevertheless, with bending magic still a thing...they've become a HUGE boon to various groups and workforce's across this new world.
During their vacation they'd seen plenty of benders working on building projects around Canterlot and the many resorts still being built.
The earth benders used both earth and metal bending got buildings up and ready for workers to make them usable in record time and a fraction of the cost. They have also seen earth benders being hired to fix the highways that connect the country together.
All the benders found new jobs to use their powers: fire benders were using their fire for many industrial jobs, a bunch of water benders were using their bending skills to help places suffering from drought, the air benders were using their bending skills to separate the various gases that make up the air and collect the more bits and these were just some of the many things that they were ALL doing now with their bending skills.
Of course... there was a downside. Many of the bending worlds corporations and their technology was outdated compared to most of the world.
Asami managed to get her company- Future Industries -back on its feet, thanks to some deals she'd made with other companies.
She was able to learn about new technologies thanks to her taking some computer classes and finding the right market for her company. Most of the factories she owned are now making parts for Professor Membrane's company Membrane Labs as well for other companies. She'd also made a deal with Mr. House to produce parts for his robots.
As for Korra? She's just enjoying not having to have the world depend on her anymore. In this new world she isn't the only one who can do things anymore and people don't depend solely on her to do everything.
She had adapted to her new lifestyle of not going around saving the day anymore. She now has a job as a freelance bounty hunter. That way she can still help every now and then, while being paid to do so.
It also gives her plenty of time to be with Asami. Not to mention being away from all of the spirits- Korra gives an annoyed glance to the one she'd beaten up -well...most of them in any case...
With how the merge messed up many of the worlds, many of the spirits found themselves suddenly 'alive' and losing their powers and immortality. They naturally began to hound Korra, demanding she fixed things.
Korra wouldn't give them the time of day, however. After how they refused to lift a finger to help her when she called for their aid. It was clear to her now that the spirits just wanted to enjoy all the benefits, while doing nothing to help.
"So what's the plan?" Korra asked Asami as she is reading something on her smartphone.
"Well I'm going to be talking with Sunset about some investments that I want to do with her," Asami explained.
"Oh, ok. I'll just find something to do in the meantime."
"Why don't you check out the Mystery Shack?"
"Sure, why not? I have been hearing about how great it is from Sunset's sisters," Korra said before eyeing Asami as she browsed her kindle. "What are you reading?"
"A news report on Thor."
"I wish that we had a deity like him to help out in the old world... Instead of what we got," Korra said wishfully.
"Well... remember that most gods aren't all nice like him or as helpful," reminded Asami.
"Like those Greek gods that showed up in New York?"
Asami nodded, "Those gods were nothing but jerks who only got away with what they did before because they were immortal and were all powerful. Thankfully, the Merge put an end to that."
"Wait, no powers? What about Thor?" Korra asked confused.
Asami shrugged, "It's hit or miss with them. There are different versions, with different types of powers, with different origins, from different worlds. Some magic works and some magic doesn't. Some die and some just lose their powers or get weaker. And others like Thor aren't affected at all. It's been over a year and the best minds on the planet are STILL trying to figure out the rules...of course...that assuming there are 'rules' at all..." Asami said that last part in a very 'put upon' way as she takes another sip of Coffee.
"Whatever happened to the Greek Gods anyway?" Korra wondered outloud.
"Eh, Some did ok. While others- like Zeus -ended up homeless, dead and his corpse eaten."
"Isn't he the god that raped tons of women?" Korra asked with a horrified shudder...yet with also an undercurrent of sadistic satisfaction at seeing justice done...
"Yup, No one really wanted to help him or the others thanks to how hedonistic and petty they are. Seeing how many monsters were created because of them. Like Medusa and Arachne: both cursed by the Greek goddess of wisdom for the most bullshit reasons... thankfully, The both of them are actually doing very well for themselves now, wrote a best selling book together about their experience and made millions."
Asami then gets thoughtful and reads something else on her phone. "Says here their Roman counterparts are just as arrogant and vain as the Greeks, but they're more militaristic and are at least willing to be more pragmatic, disciplined, and be more willing to learn from their mistakes. It's the reason why they have managed to do better then their Greek counterparts in Rome. Especially when the mortal turned god Julius Ceasar became their new leader(6). "
Asami sees another article, "Oh, and apparently the Disney version of the Greek Gods got their powers back as well. Mostly people worshiping them because their so popular and actually NICE...but there are those admitting their trying to empower them lest their Roman counterparts get 'ideas'.
"I'm just glad the asshole gods are the one's who lost their powers." Said Korra happily
Assami winched "Well...MOST of the assholes lost their powers...but their are exceptions to every rule...like Ko the Face Stealer-
"WHAT!?" Exclaimed Korra in horrified disbelief.
Assami sadly nods, "Yes, apparently he found a loophole using some of his more... 'unique' faces to keep his power...and then of course there are some who apparently were completely unaffected by the Merge...this hasn't been confirmed yet...but there's been sightings of the Greek giants."
The one's spawned by the Greek Earth Goddess?" Asked Korra worried.
Assami nodded, "And if it weren't bad enough...Some Gods who lost their powers are already back to full power thanks to the belief of their followers; like Ka Anor of the Hetwans and Hexus. The Hetawns eagerly gave their belief flesh, blood and young to restore his power...plus, he ate a lot of the depowerd gods the day of the merge to gain greater power. And Hexxus is worshiped by corrupt corporate executives...he helps them gain profit in return they worship him and feed him pollution. Worse, some of the darker spirits of otherworlds have taken advantage of both the power vacuum and the mangled status of this new world to rise to Godhood themselves. The likes of Pyramidhead already have a cult of devout followers...evidently he's on his way to be the Pagan God of 'Torturous Rape'..."(7)
Korra just looked dumbstruck. "Why would ANYONE worship and empower that psycho?"
Asami shrugged, "People are idiots, even Ted Bundy had his fans believe it or not." (8)
Asami continued, "It's not all bad news, as I said before: Most of the asshole gods are the one's who lost their power. And most those who tried to regain their lost power by having followers praying to them has- save for some exceptions has failed. Thankfully most people are not true believers who would give up and offer anything to them. And while their are sign of some of them adapting by accepting videogame kills as offerings...at least the amount of Human sacrifices is now lowered."
"Thank god for that," Korra said relieved.
"Which one?"
"Who cares? There are so many now," Korra said indifferently.
"According to the blog written by a goddess of the past named Urd who is living in Japan; she says That all the gods who still have some of their powers left have banded together to try and fix the the various afterlives. Lekmet managed to keep them all separate and Stable...after his death a special mystical apparatus kept thing sin check...but with the cleaving...that too is gone. Now we have people winding up in the wrong afterlives. Innocent people ending up in hell or limbo-like place. demons ending up in one of the Heavens and utterly destroying the place while devouring all the souls within. Some souls just get lost in the shuffle and shattered beyond repair.
Her parents Kami and Hild got together with other top gods to create a new god system to fix the mess...but the current war in the ghost zone against the Shinigami aren't helping. The Observers are deliberately being obstructive bureaucrats since they don't like Parius or the Spirit King and refuse to be ACTUALLY helpful until the conflict is settled in THEIR favor. plus you have gods like Ka Anor, Crayak and the Ori deliberately sabotaging all their attempts to fix things so they can keep conquering as many afterlife's as they can. Plus the Ancients and their stupid 'non-interference laws' are just stonewalling everyone trying to help...it's a mess..."
Both girls are depressed...the realization that death could see there souls misplaced, shattered or devoured...has caused much angst and conflict in the universe...
"Maybe we could visit Australia. I would like to meet the Rainbow Serpent," Korra said finally, trying to think of happier things.
"The Rainbow Serpent is still a powerful gods thanks to most of its power being passive in nature," Asami agreed, doing the same thing
So the two girls made plans...while also promising to each other that no matter what...they would be there to watch each others backs...whether in life or death...
...
Tempest Shadow was a female unicorn who used to work for the Storm King before the merge happened. With no magical way of restoring her horn there was no point staying under the Storm Kings rule...well...that and the fact his entire fleet was promptly destroyed after the merge and the idiocy of having Lava pools inside WOODEN airships was finally realized...the now powerless and armyless former King was currently on the lamb for his war crimes...
...
"Giddyup you wannabe lambchops!" Shouts the former Storm King as he rides the lamb away from the police and into the sunset...
...
In any case, she now needed to find a new job. Both to afford food and find a possible way to restore her horn. She got both by allowing herself to be used as a lab rat.
"How's the horn?" Professor Membrane asked.
"Still can't do magic," admitted Tempest. Both of them are in the training room of the lab. Tempest looked at herself in one of the wall mirrors and stares at her new metal horn.
"Your new horn is made out of a new alloy that increases the natural telekinesis that all unicorns have which is channeled from their horns. Which thanks to you; I have studied and figured out how it works," Professor Membrane explained.
"Not a lot of ponies would do that," Tempest stated. She put her mind to it and channeled her passive magic to lift some weights up into the air.
"Yes, so many of them are unwilling to allow themselves to be studied. There are so many different unicorns with so many different ways they used to be able to use magic. And with more research I can tap into the magic of this world," Professor Membrane said longingly. It had taken awhile...but he'd finally gotten onto the 'magic is real' bandwagon...he'd only had a half year to study magic...his grasp on it was still shaky- especially with so much magic having been destroyed -but he was making remarkable progress...
"Wait, but there isn't any spell casting magic anymore," said Tempest confused.
"None that we know of, but we are finding exceptions all the time. Like those magical heroes in France. They still have their powers thanks to their powers coming from their small partners, which is borrowing the magic of someone else to allow another to use magic. Through my research I found that it is possible to be able to do the same thing with your passive magic. But it has to be compatible or it would be like infusing type A blood into someone who doesn't share that blood type, which would kill them," Professor Membrane said.
"I heard of magic killing the user because they couldn't handle it, but it's mostly from ponies using too much magic that they couldn't handle," Tempest elaborated.
"Yes, which is why I still need you. So that I'll be able to test it out."
"And I'll get to keep the new horn along with my payment?"
"Of course. It's in the contract you signed."
"Good," Said Tempest as she further planned her new life...
...
At one of the Equestrian theme parks, Star, Marco, Pony Head, and Kelly were enjoying themselves away from the adults. The married couples are enjoying themselves with Buff Frog taking Meterora and Mariposa to Lego Land for the day. With the photos that Buff Frog is sending to them with his new smartphone, They could see how much he's enjoying the park with the kids... even MORE then the kids!
"Ok girls, what's next?" Pony Head asked.
"Pretend to be a unicorn while hiding behind something and then reveal yourself to the ponies and freaking them off?" Kelly suggested. She was glad her world ended up merged and she was no longer separate from her friends.
"That was fun," Star admitted with a chuckle.
"Those ponies are such cowards," Pony Head said in disgust. Lousy control freaks who couldn't handle any form of change...gave ponies a bad name, really...
"It's no wonder why Sunset has no respect for the ponies. They were just too use to having everything going their way." Stated Star.
"Yeah girlfriend, her pony mama just treated them like they're her children and just spoiled them," said Pony Head. The irony of saying that while dipping a lobster in caviar was clearly lost on her...
"Yeah, they're really not handling being forced to deal with all the changes that's happening and with no Princess catering to their whims anymore," agreed Marco.
"Reminds me of how my family used to do that to OUR people... At least there isn't a kingdom anymore," said Star relieved. "I still can't believe how many of them joined Mina. Hopefully with no kingdom, the stragglers will have nothing to fight for anymore."
"What happened to Mina anyways?" asked Marco suddenly.
"Who cares?" Said Pony Head dismissively.
"Sunset said that she's putting more work in getting the fillies and foals to get use to the changes," Kelly said suddenly, trying to talk about a happier subject.
"Yeah, but with how the worlds merged..." Star began to say but stops when she spotted her cousin Rock Johansen with his parents; King and Queen Johansen. All of them are dressed like punks, the Johansen side of the family was clearly adapting well to this new world.
"Hi guys!" Star shouted as she runs up to them.
"Star, it's nice to see you," said the King.
"Here on vacation too?" Star asked.
"No we live here now," Rock explained.
"Really?" Star ask.
"We're going to open a medieval times dinner theater and casino," the Queen explains.
"Oh, did you all meet with Sunset?" Star asked.
"Yes and what a wonderful family she has! Meeting them felt more like a family reunion then anything!
"They ARE like your branch of the family, aren't they?" Realized Star happily, she ALWAYS had more fun with her fathers side of the family.
"RUN!" a pony shouted as she and the other ponies ran for their lives.
"What is it this time?" Star asked annoyed with having her conversation with her family interrupted by the ponies panicking for the 12th time today.
They then a human head attached to a horses body came running by, clearly the source of the ponies distress.
"Has Uncle Lump been scaring the ponies since he got here?" Star asked.
"Are you kidding? Once he found that the ponies will freak out when at the sight of him, He's been going around scaring them for fun ever since," Rock laughed.
"That's our uncle," said Star equally mirthful.
"Hey get back here with my body!" Pony Head shouted as she flew after Lump, pretending that he'd stolen her body. Thus causing the ponies to scream louder.
"And THAT'S your friend," Rock adds with another laugh.
"Yup," Star said happily while Marco and Kelly nodded in agreement.
...
Inside of one of the camp sheds that he'd built with his telekinesis, Morceau Oleander was looking through the back of U-hurl truck he rented.
While unloading, he thinks on how his plans to take over the world with DR. Lobotto had been derailed thanks to the Merge. Worse, the only working model of one of his Psi-tanks had to be disassembled and sent here piece by piece to avoid suspicion...and it looks like a lot of these pieces had either been lost or stolen...
Which was problematic as now with the Psychonauts disbanded and his 'investors' nowhere to be found... His limited savings quickly dried up as he and the other Psychonauts had to find a new living. With so few of them left- with the others having either left for greener pastures or scattered across the country...it didn't look good for them.
They were lucky to land this security job at this camp. It was paying much more money then just helping people remember where they misplace something or remember something they forgot.
Both Sasha Nein and Milla Vodello had gone into helping people with their mental issues by going into their minds. Which they now could only do in this new world through physical contact. Both of them having to go through a lot of red tape to get a license and have the people they treat sign wavers.
Both Razputin Aquato and Lili Zanotto tried putting ads in the local paper, but this somehow ended up costing them more then they made. All of them are looking for ways to make money to get the Psychonauts back up and running again... or at least find someone to foot the bill. But every potential client seemed to have some issue or kept canceling on them, and they found themselves obstructed by every bureaucratic procedure possible... It was almost as if someone was going out of their way to sabotage them...
...
ACHOO!
Gideon sneezed as he was arrested and dragged away from the burning warehouse grumbling...
...
In any case, Oleander himself had to resort to many odd jobs to get enough money. He resorted to finding scrap in abandoned cars to sell for some money. On top of all missing parts. He also needed the gas, oil, and break fluids to get this heap working.
Luckily, he got everyone to believe that the psi-tank is an all terrain vehicle that he's putting together. And Lobotto would do all the actually technical stuff once he'd smuggled this to him. But without money to buy what he needs- and stealing wasn't an options, cops were much more competent here then back on his old world so he couldn't risk it -he wouldn't be able to get the tank back up and running anytime soon.(9)
"How am I going to fix this?" Grumbled Oleander said to himself as he looks over the mess that was once he's grand plan...
He heard knocking at the door.
"Come in!" Oleander shouted.
Raz and Lili head come back local junkyard to find parts for him seeing how he couldn't afford new parts. They came back with an old shopping cart to lug around the stuff they find.
"You maggots are late! Did you at least find anything?" Oleander asked.
"Nope, not much," Raz said showing him the cart that is full of scraps.
"With those new recycler's around, People are throwing less and less trash out. They mostly just go and get them broken gets broken down to their basic materials," Lili explains. She then gets thoughtful, "I've been meaning to ask...do we really need this? I mean sure, it looks badass and it be awesome to ride in something like this...but is it really what we need right now?"
Thinking quick on his feet, Oleander faked a very put-upon sigh, "Alright, I'll level with you two. This is more of a hobby then anything practical. A little 'side-ops' if you will, that I'm mainly doing to keep my mind off...well...pretty much everything that's been happening recently. This old soldier's been through a lot...but this year has really taken the cake, y'know?" He lied skillfully.
"Oh...I guess that makes sense...I guess I can relate." Said Lili a touch mournful..she'd been focusing on rebuilding the Psychounauts, helping at the camp and building a relationship with Raz...to keep her mind off her missing father...
"Well there is the fabricator to make the parts," Raz reminded quickly, desperate to get Lili's mind of that sad subject.
"Only if it has the programing to make what you want and with what I need. I would have to use an industrialize size one which allows that kind of work be done and the only one that is around here is in that factory that so called psychic Gideon Gleeful has," Oleander said with a sigh.
"It's weird...he's not psychic but somehow he still knows everything that happens around here," Raz said in reluctant wonder.
Lili gives a dismissive snort,"My bet is that he just found a magical item that gives him his powers, which is why Sasha and Milla couldn't sense it when they looked into him."
"I wish I could use that fabricator of his. All he does with it is make all of that stuff he sells from that tent. Those dolls and free pins that everyone is wearing," Oleander said before eyeing the two kids who are wearing pins.
"What? they're free." Raz defended.
"He's just giving those away to get people hooked on his con," Oleander said annoyed.
"Well, maybe...but come on, they're just pins," Raz said with a shrug as he and Lili left Oleander to go back to work.
As Oleander grabbed his tools...he briefly wondered if Gideon was responsible for their bad luck recently...after all having REAL Psychics becoming successful in this town would hurt his bottomline... but then he dismisses the thought.
After Milla and Sasha had done their legal investigation into Gideon, he'd performed his own private ILLEGAL investigation.
Being so good at living a lie himself, Oleander was quick to see past his 'adorable' facade to see the megalomaniacal monster he was...but from everything he saw...although the kid had SOME brains...he was basically a spoiled brat who got lucky to find some weird magic bolo tie and be born in a town that was dumb enough to suck up his con.
Besides, maybe the pre-merge him would've had the resources and influence to derail Oleander and the rest of the group...but between all the new REAL paranormal attractions popping up, that new Private Public taking charge of the police and forcing them to be competent and the influx of new people smarter then most Gravity Falls locals- not that that said much to be honest -and able to see him as a a second rate conartist...Gideon and His tent of telepathy...well, they weren't BADLY off...but they were a pale shadow of the glory days they'd enjoyed before the Merge...
Oleander nods to himself, then goes back to figuring out how the frack he was going to salvage his masterplan?
...
Stan came back to the Mystery Shack to find both Mabel and Dipper slumped on the couch. The deal he'd had with Gideon's father was called off suddenly as Bud had been called to the police station for some reason...
Stan had been too busy stealing his clown paintings to really pay attention to him...
"So what happened to you two?" Stan asked.
"Gideon," the twins said exhausted.
"Gideon." Stan says while nodding in understanding. "Yeah, the little mutant "swore vengeance" on the whole family. Ha, I guess he's gonna try to nibble my ankles or something," Stan said with a chuckle as he walked off.
"Mabel I told you not to get involved with him but you still did it," said Dipper annoyed.
"How was I suppose to know he would turn out like that?" Mabel defended.
"How about listening to me for once and not just run off with someone? This is just like with Norm! You didn't want to listen to me and it would had ended up with you dead if I didn't follow you," Dipper pointed out annoyed.
"Yeah...," Mabel admitted reluctantly.
"Why can't you just trust me for once? You always get mad when I don't just take your word for it, but when it's my word you just can't be bothered!" Dipper exclaimed, getting more and more upset.
"Well...," Mabel began to say but couldn't think anything to defend her actions.
"I'm going to take shower," Dipper said with a huff as he got up and left the room...
Neither of the twins noticed the small, brief earthquake that happened everytime Dipper got upset...or some plants temporarily dying...or the sky going dark for a second...
In fact, NO ONE noticed this...not even the likes of Clockwork and Prismo...
No...none at all...save for Slenderman...and SOMEHOW...this made him smile...
…III...
TO BE CONTINUED?
Author's Note:
1 - Without magic to keep him alive, old 'no nose' of the Potter books is long dead and gone for good.
2 - Bringing a magical item that shoots out fire would be like bringing a loaded gun.
3 - Seeing how almost all the magical girls have them going and finish off the monster of the week with a long range spell. They're not front line fighters who would need speed to avoid being hit and should be staying back and casting magic at the monster of the week at long range.
4 - Seeing how the magical girls are almost always below the age of 18 and reality ensures is in play where it's very unlikely they be able to fight a monster of the week who can throw cars around like nothing. Once they're depowered by a simple mute spell that keeps them from casting magic, will end up dead very shortly. And seeing how there isn't any magical girl series that has people throwing mute spells around to stop magic users from casting magic in the first place, they wouldn't have anything to defend them from such spells or a cure for it like in games.
5 - Hiding things away because a group think that the world isn't ready yet. Is like how gays had to be hidden away till it was force out into the open and while the older generation didn't like it, the young generation didn't mind on the most part. As it's the young generation that the future lies and not in having the older generation in accepting change.
6 - I'm going by the logic in Rick Riordan's 'Trials of Apollo' series: That since Roman emperors were worshiped as Gods, they became Gods after they died. The reason why Ceaser is in charge of the Roman Gods is because the Roman Gods were left with little choice. Although they were better at adapting to their new world quicker then the Greeks. Their reputation, the reputation of that of their Greek counterparts and their fairly rocky start made it hard for them to get worshipers to restore their power. But Julius Ceaser; still in touch with the needs of mortals, one of the most admired and respected historical figures in human history and more importantly just a very charismatic and intelligent person who can win the hearts and minds of a population...thus they were forced to his deal to allow them in his 'posse' to gain support the worship they needed to restore their power...in exchange; he usurps Zeus's leadership... a similar deal he'd already struck with the 'little Ceaser' company to become their CEO in exchange for NOT suing them for using his likeness without permission, slandering said likeness, etc.
7 - 'Magic A' will have interesting effects on 'Magic B'. Many different types of magics will be introduced together thanks to the merge...and how they react together will be very unpredictable. What Asami doesn't know is that Ka Anor was never depowerd in the first place...his magic was simply too alien for the merge to destroy it...Crayak kept his power as he's spent eons planning, gambling, scheming against the Elimist...and had long shielded himself against such things as the merge taking away his powers. Making sure to use only ENLIGHTENED magic(but more on that later)among other precautions...the magic of Silent Hill instead of fading has had far more interesting and volatile reactions. Turning pyramid head from simple demonic manifestation of guilt and self-punishment to a dark spirit that gorged on belief until it became a pagan God of it's own volition...mixing the Ancients magic with this world also had an interesting affect...they lost their powers...but kept their ascended knowledge...which they refuse to use to fix things...and will actually hinder anyone if they try to use any of their magic or tech to fix this new, merged world...lest it interfere with their precious 'non-interference law'...
8 - Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, the Night Stalker, etc. As crazy as it sounds, there are groupies for serial killers and deranged cult leaders like that.
9 - Anyone who has ever put together a car or even a motorbike can tell you that you can't just have all the parts and put them together and it would just work. The parts wouldn't have stuff in them like oil or other fluids that are found in an engine, or the gas. You have to add that stuff yourself. A tank being a war machine would have much more stuff that is needed for it to work.
So yeah as anyone who has put together a vehicle can tell you that it cost a lot of money and time to do it.

The inconveniencing of Wendy
FUSION FALLS: TAKE TWO!
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
...III...
...III...
BUMP!
Dipper abruptly wakes up, he looks around his room...it's still the middle of the night and his sister is fast asleep...he sees the window open...the breeze is causing the frame to lightly bump repeatedly against the wall.
Dipper rolls his eyes annoyed and walks over to shut the window before going back to bed...
Never seeing a panicked, flustered and NAKED Wendy hanging below the window. Having woken to find herself in Dippers bed, she'd quickly jumped out the window. Thus causing the noise that woke Dipper up in the first place...
'Sleep-streaking?! SERIOUSLY!? That's not even a thing!' Wendy then sighs as she sees from her shadow that she's sprouted antlers, 'except for weirdo sex demons like me apparently...'
Brushing aside that somber thought, she quickly drops down and streaks home before anyone sees her...
...opening song...

Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night
...
Mornings at the Corduroy household had changed since the merge happened...
Before the Merge, Velma Corduroy would have to hide her Deer Woman(1) heritage as she masqueraded as a human.
But now she could reveal herself to the people of Gravity Falls without consequence. It was now very common to see her walking around with her antlers showing...also naked.
Being so one with nature and fertility magic, most Deer Woman abhor clothing. Only wearing it out of convenience or necessity.
Before the Merge Deer woman were forced to either isolate themselves deep in the forest or wear clothes and eat anaphrodisiac's to keep their true nature a secret.
Now they could FINALLY embrace both their biological and cultural essence! Although they still wore clothes in town or around MOST humans out of common courtesy...but now they could just be happily naked around their own homes!
Velma Corduroy happily cooked food in the nude. Manly Dan- although not a deer or a woman -happily embraced his wife's lifestyle. It was hot, publicly nudity restrictions were being relaxed, his wife was horny and he was going to enjoy it all dammit!
Their boys- their power although there, was watered down thanks to their gender -had a similar mindset as their dad, and thus were in their birthday suites at the breakfast table as well...
"Come on girls!"
The boys blush, cover themselves and try to run for it...but unfortunately their mother had already snatched up their clothes...locked the door to their room so they can't get more...and when they try to run outside to hide-
Bang!
Click.
"Hello Boys!"
The boys sigh in defeat at the sound of their mom locking the door behind them...and the sight of all the naked deer girl, nymph, and Naiad's their age that their mom always invited over whenever they tried to go naked without her knowing- spoiler, she ALWAYS knew.
It was very embarrassing...but the girls were cute...so their feelings were 'mixed'...and they couldn't really bring themselves to complain too much...so they always ended up having fun regardless...
After making sure to put their breakfast outside for when they were done playing with their future mate prospects, Velma turned to call to Wendy.
"Wendy! Breakfast!" Shouts her mom.
In her room, Wendy panics as he quickly saws off the last of the antler on her head...this was the fifth day in a row they've grown back! No time to dispose of them properly, so she hides them under her bed and quickly heads downstairs...
She happily greets her family- or as happily as she can be when she's trying to not look at them and pretend their not naked...or ignore her urge to rip her own clothes off to join them - and begins to eat.
"Sweetie, Oriana the shopkeeper called- Wendy nearly chocked on her bacon -she said that there was an issue with the transaction on your account. That you'll need to redo it. Sweetie, why did you buy so much anaphrodisiac? Is there something your not telling us?" She asked concern.
Wendy narrowly prevented the bacon going down the wrong pipe before nervously chuckling it off, "What? No, not really. You said so yourself I won't go through the 'change' for a couple more years! It's just...after all that's happened recently, it just made me more self-conscious about the whole things...so I thought it best to just stock up on all this BEFORE it happened. That's all." She lied rather smoothly.
Velma's eyes narrow a bit...but decides to move on with a sigh. "Sweetie...we don't need suppressants like that anymore...we can finally embrace our true HERITAGE. Were Deer people...I wish you wouldn't be ashamed of it-
"What, no! Mom, I'm not ashamed of it!...I just don't see why I can't embrace my heritage...WITHOUT being a nudist or having sex all the time..." She says that last part as diplomatically as possible...
Velma looks at her concerned, "Wendy we've been over this! It's a biological necessity! Although as a hybrid your not as dependent on that as a pure-blood like me...but going straight up cold turkey is just VERY unhealthy!"
Manly Dan sighs, "I can't believe I'm saying this...but your mothers right Wendy...as much as I hate the idea of you going off to orgies with men- "DAD! EWW!" -but I've SEEN what happens to Deer Woman when they repress their urges for too long- he shudders as flashbacks of screams, fire otters, chainsaws and mangos assaulted his mind -it's so much WORSE."
Wanting very much for her parents to stop talking about her potential sex life, Wendy did what she always did...deflect.
"Look, I don't have time for this. I need to get to work. I'm also meeting my friends afterwards, so don't wait up." She quickly starts to rapidly eat her breakfast so she can leave this conversation as quickly as possible.
"And that's another thing we want to talk to you about; Those friends of yours are bad news," Dan said.
"What you mean? Me and Tambry have been friends for years. Also Lee, Nate, Robbie and Thompson... there okay," Wendy said that part with her usual diplomatic spin.
"From what I've seen you seem less like friends and more 'people who hangout when they have nothing better to do'," Velma pointed.
"Really mom? Your gonna judge my friends while 'friendly' with aunt Maurecia, Dana, Jenny, and Leslie?" Wendy said annoyed.
"Now, now. Unlike me your aunts never found someone like your father and had kids to bring down their sex drive to manageable levels. But more importantly for all our faults we NEVER tortured someone like you torment that poor Thompson boy. Honestly Wendy, how are you okay with that? You treat that poor boy like crap!" Velma pointed out concerned.
"what? No, come on! It's a gag! He's fine with it! It's hilarious, teenage hi-jinx!"
"So...you'd be fine if someone did that all that to you? Or your brothers?" Asked Velma pointedly.
Wendy looks at her mother dumbstruck, she had no words and this was getting uncomfortably personal-
RING!
"Op! Stan calling! Work emergency! Gotta run!" Shouts a grateful Wendy as she runs out to the room before things became MORE uncomfortable.
Both her parents just shake their heads...
...
Meanwhile, in one of the hell's reigned a demon so evil that no one can call him by his name. All the y could do was call the demon; HIM.
Like all the other magic base beings, his powers have been reduced since the merge. His once vast powers are now mostly gone with only his most basic powers being left. He's still powerful in his own right but was currently keeping low profile until he could plan a way to reverse his fortunes.
Him was keeping himself busy using his magic mirror to spy on the world. He watched the girls are helped those KND kids get off the moon. He saw them plan to convert it into a proper moon station and also learned of 'The Man In The Moon' and how he was the amin reason why those kids managed to survive on the other moon for so long.
"WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?" Bill Cipher asked, appearing in the mirror.
"Bill what do you want?" Him asked annoyed.
"WHAT ELSE? I'M HERE TO MAKE A DEAL. IT MUST BE HARD LOSING SO MUCH POWER. REMINDS ME OF HOW TRIGON USED UP MOST OF HIS POWER FIGHTING OTHER DEMON LORDS AND THEN LOST WHAT'S LEFT TO HIS KIDS."
"DON'T BRING HIM UP," Him growls.
"WHY? HE'S YOUR COUSIN AFTER ALL," Bill pointed out.
"True, but that doesn't mean I have to like it," Him said with a huff.
"REALLY? WHAT ABOUT HIS 'GO' COUNTERPART?" Bill asked interested.
"He's WORSE. At least the first one was interesting, but this new one is just annoying. I'm glad He's been banished to that zombie world." Said Him gleefully. "But enough small talk. What's this about a deal?"
"BIG PLANS ARE IN THE WORKS. HAD TO MAKE SOME LAST-MINUTE CHANGES, BUT I'M PLANNING ON BREAKING FREE OF MY DYING AND DECAYING REALM AND BRINGING EVERYONE WITH ME. AND SEEING HOW THE MERGE BROUGHT US TOGETHER, HOW ABOUT YOU TEAM UP WITH ME? I'VE ALREADY BEEN GATHERING UP SOME HELP."
"Oh really?" Him asked skeptically. "That includes Slenderman?" He asked mockingly
Bill rolled his eyes, "I HAD NO CHOICE, MORON WAS ATTACHED TO A DEAL I WAS FORCED TO SIGN TO REORIENT MY PLANS IN REGARDS TO THE MERGE. DON'T WORRY, HE'S UNDER STRICT ORDERS TO DO NOTHING. I'LL BEAT HIM UP IF THAT LOSER BOTHERS YOU...YOU CAN EVEN JOIN ME IN THE BEATING IF YOU WANT?" Reassured Bill.
"I'm listening," Said Him intrigued.
...Deep in the Gravity Falls forest...
Huntor is a lion-like alien with the reputation of being one of the greatest hunters in the universe. He has some of the best weapons and technology at his disposal.
He came to Earth to hunt down monkey for revenge. But the merge changed that for him, leaving him stuck on the planet. He managed to pass himself off as a beastman and made a living as a bounty hunter.
His current prey is a young girl that someone wants captured alive. Huntor doesn't care why, the bounty is big and that's all he cares about. Of course, he's taken precautions to make sure that he's not walking into something that he's not ready for. Like last time, with Monkey.
He's been tracking her for days now and has finally figured out where she makes her home. The only problem was that it's well known and there were usually lots of people around.
Huntor was currently looking for someone who would give him information that could help him. The message said the informant would meet him in the woods.
Huntor then spotted a drawing nailed to a tree. He walk over to it, Huntor barely takes one look at the drawing 'SVOK NV' before falling to the ground and everything going black...
...Outside of Time...
At the center of the Multiverse, there is a dimension called the Time Room that is the quasi-corporeal dwelling place of Prismo.
The Time Room is a single dimension that exists outside of time yet can produce time waves that can be experienced by other dimensions.
Some dimensions have permanent links that allow travel between them, Others get linked temporarily by naturally forming wormholes, others can be linked artificially by magical portals, or opened by items of great power like the gems of power and the Enchiridion.
An activated portal creates a time dilation in which either end of the portal creates a temporal synchronization allowing for the safe passage of particles through a non-local region of space-time.
Prismo grants one wish to every being that enters the Time Room. The wisher is then sent into a world that the wish is based on, also changing the timeline if need be. Anyone inside who hasn't made their wish is not affected by any previous wishes.
One has to be very precise on one's wish, because one could end up creating an ironic twist. Wishing for an event to happen has great consequence as it changes everything before and after it in the specified timeline; according to Prismo, potential penalties include the retrospective nonexistence of life forms or even the evaporation of worlds. Or as he so elegantly puts it, "Sometimes a well-intentioned wish can lead to... nuts."
Right now Prismo is having a card game with his friends Jake the dog, and Cosmic Owl. They're also joined by Hunson Abadeer- who even with his vast powers can't do anything while in the Time Room-, Discord, Clockwork( the ghost of time), William( the former trusted advisor and dutiful ally of the Te Xuan Ze), Marty The Reaper and the final player is Sunset who was invited by Discord.
"So there isn't anyway to ever bring back spell casting magic back to this world?" Sunset asked the crowd before her as she looks over the cards in her hands.
"I have the power to do it but that kind of wish needs to be so detailed that there isn't any mistake lest it be catastrophic to the multiverse. It stinks, but that's just the kind of wish granting being, I am," Prismo explains.
"Anyone of you know anyone else?" Sunset asks around the table.
"My powers aren't really magic so, I couldn't tell you," Hunson admitted with a shrug.
"If I knew, I would had already done it to myself. Being mortal isn't something I enjoy," Said the voice of Wan Shi Tong from a magical mirror.
Cosmic Owl sighed "Cousin, I told you. Your not allowed to be here until you make amends with Jinora,"
"I'm not in person, I'm talking through this medium I bought it using the money I got from the JOB I'm now forced to do instead of reading my beloved books!," said Wan Shi Tong annoyed.
"Oh, Boo hoo. You have to work for a living, how tragic," mocked Sunset before eyeing Clockwork. "What about you? I know enough that you should be able to see every possible timeline. Anything I could use to help me there?"
"Although there are timelines where magic returns, But the cost in most is usually too high to be worth it," Clockwork explained.
"And telling me just leads to trouble," guessed Sunset said who gets a nod from the time ghost. She rolls her eyes. "Figures."
"There are beings that can just think about it and poof it happens. But it's unlikely that anyone of us would ever meet someone like that. Even Prismo's boss aren't important enough for those beings to ever meet in person," Marty said.
"Is there no way to contact them?" Asked Sunset.
"Don't waste your time. Our part of space-time is under the Jurisdiction of the Celestialsapians. Chances are they already know and are debating about what do about it...whether or not they reach a decision before the heat death of the universe is something I can't say." Prismo rolls his eye. "Seriously, they're STILL debating about whether or not they should save the Dinosaurs from extinction, no joke!"
"And lass you shouldn't be trying to wish it all back. I knew a genie who will only grant your wish if you are very specific (if you wish for a perfect day, you have to describe every aspect of the day; if you wish for ice cream, you have to describe the size, shape, flavor, etc," William said.
"Why are you so interested?" Jake ask.
"Oh Sunset here has been nagged by her subjects to get their magic back. Not to mention all the magical girls that come here hoping to recharge their magical items that just gives them attack spells like a Pokemon," Discord said.
"Don't remind me. They're not magic users, they're whiny tsundere's who can only use spells that come with their transformation. One mute spell and boom they're useless," Sunset said with a grunt.
"Didn't some of them tried to get Desiree to give them back their magic? And it totally backfired with them being magical ghost girls?" Jake asked Clockwork.
"Yes. Danny and Dani had a hard time handling that one... until Dani wished for Desiree to take back the power she gave those girls," Clockwork explained.
"How is it that they used to have a hard time with her when all you need to do is wish out loud for her to be beaten?" Sunset asked.
"It's just how my world worked," Clockwork said with a shrug.
"People being selective in what they see and do. And being so dumb that it's incredible how they're even alive?" Sunset asked knowingly.
"Pretty much," Clockwork agreed.
"Sorry I'm late," a new comer said entering the time room.
Jorgen Von Strangle the toughest fairy in the universe- before the merge -Now only had passive magic left. He and the other fairies now live on Earth after their world fall into acid world- which in hindsight wasn't the best place to have their world hover over, the faeries would later admit. He and the other fairies aren't magic grantees anymore but they can still fly and use other forms of non-spell casting magic. Many of the fairies have now gone off on their own... which mostly led to Dimmsdale, as it was the only real remnant of the old world left now.
Sunset knew about it because of it making headlines. Timmy Turner was officially adopted by his fairy godparents, after it was made clear that his human parents cared more about their own happiness than Timmy. While they genuinely loved their son , they both acted more like children then adults.
Which was made worse since they could never comprehend that Vicky is a babysitter from Hell, even when the evidence is right in front of them. Vicky doesn't even bother to try to hide her true nature in front of them anymore.
Even when Timmy shows his parents incriminating evidence of Vicky torturing him, they don't even bat an eye. In fact, they only get upset at Vicky because she erased their reality tape. They then just hired even worse babysitters who wanted to kill Timmy. That was all revealed at the court hearing where both Mr and Mrs Turner revealed it all on the stand while their attorney ripped his own hair out in despair...
Long story short, the Turners lost Timmy to the fairies and Vicky was arrested and sent to jail as an adult.
where her enjoyment of torturing children was quick to make her the toilet of the entire prison. She tried to scare the female prisoners, but as they weren't playing by the same rules as her world. Vicky ended up beaten and raped by the female prisoners instead.
The town of Dimmsdale became like The City where Dib lives. Many of the adults lost their children because of how bad they are at being parents. Many cops and politicians were also fired as she had even imprisoned children in a sweatshop and they had done nothing. Dimmsdale is now split in half. Where the poor side is full of idiot adults and the better side is where all the fairies live along with the smarter adults and children.
But the group put such thoughts aside as Jorgen had brought a friend...The Man In The Moon...
The Man in the Moon was a mysterious being that was responsible for appointing the Guardians. The Moon is one of the few beings who still have their powers, a large part of it is the borrowed magic it gives others. Sunset read the blog of Jack Frost and knows that- like Celestia -The Moon is a chessmaster and for 300 years he never helped Jack in figuring out why he was given his powers.
Speaking of which, the Guardians didn't lose their magic either. Tooth had hired some fairies of like Jorgen and his wife the tooth fairy to help her out in collecting teeth.
Bunny is now in charge of all the many other Easter Bunnies. Their numbers could fill entire city's. Like the ones from the world of Juniper Lee who have both rabbits and chickens who are lead by their mothers. Bunny now has plenty of help and doesn't have to be the only one as he leads a team of Easter Bunnies to handle things.
North is now working with all the other Santa's who found themselves in this new world. But thanks to The Moon those who lost their powers gain new ones like North. North and the other Santa's have split the world into different regions that they cover during Christmas, so they're not all overworked during that night. Which one of the Santa's really needed- that one was ruined and broken from years of humanities avarice, as was his inbreed elves and feral reindeer. All the Santa's immediately take over his shop, nursed him back to health, sent his elves to rehab and mercy killed the deer.
And Sandy is working with the other Sandmen in controlling the dreams. Which like the others, Sandy likes that he's not the only one on the job anymore. Even if some of the others took some time to get use to, like the Sandman from the world that the Power Puff Girls came from who tried to get everyone to sleep forever so he could sleep, or the other Sandman who fought Juniper when he tried to take over the waking world. That ended up with him working at a diner to make ends meet before he got Juniper to send him back home.
"Manny what's up?" Prismo asked The Man In The Moon.
The Man In The Moon responded by shining a beam of moonlight on the table. The moonlight created a silhouette of a man with no face, which caused Hunson Abadeer. While Prismo, Clockwork, Cosmic Owl, William, and Discord groan or rolled their eyes.
"Ok who is it?" Jake ask.
"Slenderman," Prismo said annoyed.
"Is he bad?" Jake asked.
"No." Said everyone, except Hudson.
"Yes, he is! He's on the Lich level, but overall he's as bad as Glob," said Abadeer.
"Oh come on Abadeer, you beat that little brat everytime he set foot on your turf-
"Guys, they were pretty close fights! Besides, no matter what I did he just wouldn't die! I finally had to erect a barrier to keep him off Ooo."
"Guys a loser and thanks to that movie, he's also a flop!" Said Comic Owl dismissively.
"Guys, I'm telling you. there's something off with him. Besides, remember what King said-
"Oh, what? That he saw that creep wiped out all the Pattern Screamers? Get real man!" Said Prismo with a laugh.
"And that's another thing, King left to investigate Slenderman centuries ago and we haven't heard from him since! I'm getting worried, shouldn't we look for him?"
This devolved into a back-and forth between Hudson and the others while Sunset and Jake watched confused...well...Sunset did anyway, Jake was too busy making an everything burrito.
Sunset focused on the conversation and began to pierce together things...apparently Slenderman liked playing mind games...he was unpredictable...and while he technically lost everytime, he seemed to adapt to strategies and powers very quickly...
Also apparently people like Clockwork would be useless against him- You know how some villains have a 'multiple-choice' past? Well Slenderman apparently took it to the logical extreme. He has MILLIONS of backstory's that completely contradict each other... and yet they're ALL true. Because of this, no one can use time-magic on him without risking the stability of the universe there in. Many universe have been destroyed because of this...and Slenderman ALWAYS survives it somehow...
"Isn't that impossible?" Sunset asked.
"Well technically, it is. And Technically that guy is like cancer to the multiverse. He's just a straight up nasty contradiction! An impossible thing that SHOULDN'T exist... but somehow dose...but I wouldn't worry about him" said Prismo with a shrug.
"Yeah, guys always acting more important than he really is. You know he's only around because of a fluke of internet interest." Said Marty with a snort.
"What are you guys talking about? The guy is immune to seal his evil in a can' style. Any dimension we lock him in will inevitably become corrupted by blight simply from his very presence! Thus allowing him to escape as he's one of the few creatures in existence who's IMMUNE to the blight!" Shouted an increasingly exasperated Hudson.
Sunset was confused how everyone seemed to be dismissing such a huge threat...so she talked to Abadeer some more...
"Killing him won't work either. Trust me, I've tried. Somehow, he found the 'blessing' of Achilles or something like it. He's can't by killed by anything save for one thing, and it's his death has to make NO sense... like being burnt alive in the middle of the ocean," Hunson said.
"But... that's also impossible," said Sunset thoughtfully.
"In universes of order and logic, sure. But places like MY home, filled with chaos. Only there can he be no worries! I can literally kill that punk whenever I feel like! "Assures Discord as he eats caramel bunnies hoping for their lives...
"Discord fighting him there is EVEN worse! He has the homefield advantage there! Even the chaos gods of the Warhammer universe were out-anarkyed by him! Cthulhu took one look at what he did in his chaos-verse and went mad himself!" Defended Hudson, but the others again just dismissed.
"Rumors."
"Hearsay."
"Pictures, or it didn't happen."
"Pretty sure your thinking of Bill."
"Bill?" Asked Sunset feeling more and more lost.
"Now HE'S a REAL villain! "More importantly, in accordance with the rules of a Gravity Falls world setting...HE is the main villain. Any microscopic chance Slenderman could've had at becoming a threat, vanishes if he enters a world like Gravity Falls...the SETTING demands it!(2) " Affirms Clockwork.
Sunset frowns...ordinarily Sunset wouldn't question guys like this...but questioning those in authority above her was how she got where she was...more importantly...she was confused why they thought the rules of this reality would hold when so many other rules had broken when the merge happened...
But before she could ask this, The Man in the Moon wasn't done yet as he created another silhouette of a one eyed triangle wearing a tophat and a bowtie.
"Dang it Manny, next time start with him first! For crying out loud, he was probably responsible for the merge!"
"Really?" Jake ask.
"Indeed, I've looked things over," CLockwork explained. "Stars actions should have merged ONLY her world and Marco's Earth. All the events happening on other worlds at the same time... clearly it helped make it the powder keg that would eventually explode into the merger... but I've yet to find the event- the CATALYST that originally allowed the fire that started in Star's world to spread to said powder keg in the first place. If we figured that out, maybe we could figure out Bill's endgame."
"My money's on it having to do with Gravity Falls, the only thing you can predict about a being of chaos is that we're always drawn to exciting things and places... and there's clearly a lot of potential for chaos there... also Enf situations for some reason," Discord says that last bit confused.
The Man in the Moon however made some more insistent flashes regarding Slenderman.
"See? Manny agrees with me!" Says Hudson stubbornly.
"For the hundredth time Abadeer, Slenderman is not the main villain of Gravity Falls! The rules of the other worlds might falter, change, or just falls apart...but Gravity Falls is clearly the MAIN setting of this little tale! That's how this world is setup. How it's ALWAYS setup. And while the rules here are more fluid then most worlds. One thing is ironclad; BILL IS THE MAIN VILLAIN. No one else, ESPECIALLY not a Box-office flop like Slenderman..."

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
Bill Cipher snored like a log as he slept...and thus didn't notice Slenderman entering Gravity Falls...he quickly clicked-
"A,B,X,A,up,up,down, input-"
And just like that...Cronin House comes into existence in the middle of the Gravity Falls forest.
He presses his ear against the wall...and smiles at what he hears...
Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock...
Slenderman presses a finger against his 'lips' to the reader, "Personally I feel like the movie was very underrated, at the very least it was an improvement over the book...if nothing else, Mr. Black was a delight as always!"
And with that, Slenderman vanished...and Bill kept sleeping...none the wiser...
...
"Eat the snail! Eat the snail!"
Wendy winched as she walked up to the groups meeting place...ordinarily she'd have immediately walked up and happily joined the chant...but her parents words echoed with her...
She shakes her head, 'Come on! Since when dose a teen listen to her parents! They don't know what their talking about anyway! Thompson clearly loves this!'
Which was Thompson's que to vomit...
Wendy went green...but then tries to reassure herself... "No...he's...he's eating the vomit...that's...that's disgusting...but that must mean he likes it! He wouldn't do this to himself unless he liked it...right?' She rationalized to herself.
"THOMPSON! THOMPSON!"
Wendy, trying very hard to be excited for what was happening in front of her. Put on a smile and began to walk forward...
"Yo, I got another picture of Wendy's mom today! She was gardening buck naked!" Robbie exclaims happily as he shoves off the picture on the phone...Nate, Lee...and a reluctant yet curious Tambry looked at the phone.
Wendy pauses, blushes and hides behind a bush before anyone sees her.
The boys wolf-whistle...while Tambry... "You uh...you think Wendy will eventually look like this?" She asks blushing.
Robbie smirks, "No need to imagine." He pulls out a jar full of rabid moths. "I bought this online. We throw this on her, she gets naked. We enjoy the show. Best of all I read up that Deer woman get EXTRA horny when naked. So we play our cards right...bow-chicka-wow-wow!" He emphasized that last bit with a pelvic thrust.
Wendy was horrified! She knew she should be running the opposite direction...and yet...the 'itch' she'd been getting for awhile...and the very prospect of the possibility getting 'release' had her frozen in place! She'd corked up her libido for days and the pressure was starting to hurt!
She began to sob...maybe she should just sleep with them?...Get it over with? Why fight the inevitable? That was all a weirdo slut like her was good for, wasn't it?
Thompson lifted his head up from the puddle of vomit, "Whoa, what? That's not cool man."
"Shut it Thompson, keep eating your crap!" Said both Nate and Lee annoyed.
A conflicted Tambry looked like she was about to reluctantly say something-
buh bump
Wendy's eyes widen and tears her attention away from the group as she hears a heartbeat, she looks behind herself confused. She sees nothing. "Wha-
And just like that she was grabbed from behind and a sharp pain pricked her neck...suddenly she felt so weak...
Huntor smirked at the stunned teens as he grasped Wendy and pointed his gun at them...
"Anyone want to save their friend? I'll even be sporting- he flicks the gun and all but one of the bullets fall out -one bullet, only one of you has to die before you tackle me...any takers?" He asked mockingly.
A semi-drowsy Wendy looked at her friends frightened faces. 'I...of course they'll save me...their my friends! We've been together for years! They would never-
They ran away...
Wendy felt her heart shatter...
"Guys! Tambry!...no..." her face broke down in tears...
Huntor snorted, "Wow, some friends you got there." He said sarcastically. He then grabs her flannel shirt, "sorry sweetie but some presents are just better of unwrapped, get me?" He said mockingly rhetorical way.
Wendy blinked, "What are you-
RIP!
Wendy watched helplessly as she was stripped completely naked...her hands tied behind her...and she could feel it...her body free to the elements...finally able to fully connect with nature and the spirits...no more man-made material to repress her urges...her deer woman nature exposed to the world...she couldn't help it...she let out a moan of pleasure...
"Whoa there! Save some of that for your boy toy!" He laughs as he propels her forward with a kick to the rear...
...
Dusk 2 Dawn is an abandoned convenience store. It was the property of Ma and Pa Duskerton before they died, and closed down soon after their deaths. There were rumors that a double murder took place there, but it turns out that Ma and Pa both had heart attacks because of teenagers' hateful rap music and were in fact not murdered. Both of them have haunted their store since then, never letting any teenager leave the store unscarred.
Then came the day that Danny and Dani showed up after a group of Japanese magical girls showed up and got into the store. Needless to say, the only one that managed to get out was the young pink haired future daughter of the leader of the group. While both Ma and Pa are much stronger then either Danny and Dani, it was only while they're inside their store. Which Danny pointed out and threatened to blow off the roof of the store and tear down the walls to depower them. The ghost couple release the girls and give a mystically binding promise not to torture teenagers who enter their store.
Fortunately, once it became known that the store is haunted It became a tourist attraction. Which helped their business enough to reopen the store. it had it's downsides though, they had to reorder their entire stock. They couldn't just use their ghost powers to make it look like the food is still good anymore...also, they had to deal with teenagers again...
But on the bright side, this was now the new secret home of Six. Who after wondering around Gravity Falls, found her way to the abandon store. Now Ma and Pa have taken her in and look after as they never had children of their own.
"So you both just had double heart attacks at once? Just because you heard rap music?" Dipper asked Ma. He was there distracting the ghosts while Ronnie and Lincoln sneak in to talk to Six before she ran off again...It had taken awhile for them to track her down again and they didn't want to blow it again...
"Yes, we never heard anything like that so hurtful music before," Ma explained.
"So how did you two end up as ghosts?"
"We're not sure. All we remember is waking up floating above our bodies," Pa admitted with a shrug.
Dipper then asks about if they'd seen anyone on Marcline's most wanted list. (3 )
This was the signal for the kids to sneak into the basement while Dipper kept distracting them. But at the mention of Marceline, they can't help but talk about their favorite rockstar vampire a bit...
"Yeah her songs are great and way better then the shows your sister does," Ronnie pointed out.
"At least she stops playing her music so loud after the cops were called in," Lincoln said. His family is still trying to make it up to him with him always pointing out that the only reason why child services weren't called in and his parents arrested was because of all the chaos that happen after the merge.
Lincoln walks into the basement-
CRACK!
Six, having heard them talking while coming down the stairs had waited behind the door with a vase to smash on their head.
fortunately, Lincoln had developed a sixth sense to being attacked while living most of his life with Lynn. And so was able to mostly doge it. But it did wing him a bit, living him slightly injured.
"Lincoln!" Shouts Ronnie enraged, for a moment she looks like she's going to pound six...but Lincoln holds her back.
"Wait! Let me..."
Lincoln, still fairly bruised...slowly walks toward the frightened six. Hands held up in a non-threatening manner.
"Were not here to hurt you...we just want to talk..."
BANG!
Six looks up to see a large chunk of the ceiling come down-
"LOOK OUT!"
Lincoln pushes her out of the way, and is buried in the rubble. Ronnie sobs and tries to dig him out...while Six dose what she always dose when she faces a problem she can't handle...she runs away...
...
Meanwhile, above in the store a few minutes ago-
"Hello everyone!" A large lion man said entering the store who is dressed as a hunter.
"Yes what can we- SWEET MERCY!" Pa Screamed.
"WENDY!?" Screamed Dipper in horror, seeing his friend naked and held at gunpoint as she's forcibly dragged in.
Whetever he'd slipped her was starting to fade, but Wendy was still fairly drowsy as well as having her arms bound behind her. But even though, she'd recognize her best friend anywhere.
"Dipper, run!" She screamed.
"Run? but the party has only just started!" laughed Huntor.
"Now see here, young man! I don't know who taught you manners-
"I'm self taught," the lion man mocked before he pulls out a strange thermos and sucks Pa and ma in. The energy backlash of this damages the floor, which is what cause debris to fall on Lincoln in the floor below.
Many other people were in the store...but Huntor was blocking the only exit so they did what most people are want to do...scream, hide...and record everything to the internet...
Well...except for Dipper. He just stood there determined, "Let her go." He said firmly.
Wendy's eyes widen...both from Dipper's refusal to run...but also his SCENT, the same WONDERFUL scent of his she'd been smelling from him ever since he'd saved her...it WAS STRONGER then ever!
Huntior laughs, "well, a friend of hers actually worth a crap? Well, I guess you CAN find a speck of gold anywhere...even at the bottom of the barrel." He taunts while Dipper just glares.
"Oh, lighten up boyo! tell you what, let's make this interesting. You sing your special dance with THIS costume- he throws something to the ground -and I'll let you both go.
Dipper was confused and slightly embarrassed by both he sight of a VERY familiar costume and the aliens knowledge of his mom's favorite embarrassing song...both in his memory...and another flashback of Wendy also being in danger? In this same store? But with the ghosts instead? In any case, seeing Wendy still frightened and at gunpoint put those questions and feelings from his mind...and he suits up without hesitation.
https://imgur.com/a/Aqn7cvg
Wendy was naked, bound, tired, semi-drugged, frightened, sobbing and had a gun pressed to her head...but she couldn't help it!
EEEE-E-EEE EEEE EE!
She had to squeal in delight at Dipper wearing the CUTEST THING EVER!
Ignoring the feeling of his ego shattering, Dipper wore his lamby costume with as much dignity as possible, took a deep breath...and began:
'Well... who wants a lamby, lamby, lamby?'
'I do! I d-
BANG!
Both Wendy and Dipper screamed, although the later was because of the pain of being SHOT in the leg!
The alien laughs, "OOPS! Itchy trigger finger! Hey kid, since I'm a sportsman...I'll give you a choice. Run and leave the lovely lady to get a bullet in the head or stay and redo the song to free her!" He says sadistically.
Dipper...says nothing...his hands clamped on the blood stain on his formerly white lamb costume...but slowly...but shirly...he rises again...and begins to try and dance again!
Wendy was stunned...both by the sheer bravery...and the sheer pleasure of the magnificent scent of Dipper that grew even stronger!
She was so enthralled, she didn't see her antlers rapidly growing back within seconds!
Dipper, was struggling with his limp...but...he finally managed to begin again...
'Well... who wants a lamby... lamby... lamby?'
'I do... I do...'
'So, go up...go up... and...and greet your mammy, mammy... mammy.'
'Hi there!-
BANG!
"Well hello to you too!" He laughed as he once again shot Dipper in another limb...
"Stop it! Just stop it! What is wrong with you!?" Pleads Wendy. She also glares at everyone else. "Stupid cowards, get help! Put down your freaking phones and call an ambulance for the FREAKING TWELVE YEAR OLD BLEEDING OUT!" She screams accusingly.
"Anyone else moves and they get it in the head!" Warns the Huntor before turning back to Dipper. "Same deal as last time...Dance? Or flee?" He mockingly said to Dipper as he cradled the new hole in his arm...
"Dipper just run! I'm not worth it!" Begged a sobbing Wendy
But Dipper...Dipper just rose again...and began again...
'Well...well... who...who...who eants... wants... a...a... lamby... lamby... lamby...lamby?'
'I ...do?...I...I do!'
'So...so...so just...so go up...up...Annnnndd...greet your...grret your... mammy... mammy... mammy.'
'Hi...hi there? Hi there!'
'So...so..so just...just march... march.. march... around the...the...the daisies-'
BANG!
"I hate daises!" Said Huntor with a snort.
"Stop it! He can't take anymore of this!" Screamed Wendy. Indeed, Dipper was LITERALLY on his last leg.
You know what your absolutely right, my dear. BOY! New deal! You don't have to dance. But if you only sing...I'll still let the girl go...but I'll kill you!"
"WHAT?!" Screams Wendy and just about everyone else in the room.
"...or, you could just run away." Said the Bounty Hunter smugly.
"Yes, Dipper. just run! I'm not worth it!"
"Indeed she isn't. I mean she's a deer girl. the whole race is nothing but sluts and degenerates. If your looking for gratitude sex boy, there are easier ways to get it. But ain't no one getting sex if your dead, so I'd advise you to leave these whore to hang and-
SHUT UP!
Everyone looked at Dipper stunned. "Wendy is the nicest, strongest, coolest, smartest, most amazing woman I've ever meet! I don't care if I never have sex with her! She's my friend, she's a good person, and saving her is the right thing to do! SO I'M DOING IT! SO GO FUCK YOURSELF!" Said Dipper in-between gobs of blood leaking out from his mouth...
Wendy...was speechless...
'Huntor'- unseen by all -smiled in pride at how Dipper was progressing...But then put on a 'mask' of annoyed indifference. "Whatever mate, your funeral. NOW SING!"
Between huffs of breath, thankful he no longer needed to force himself to stand and could conserve his strength toward singing...Dipper sings one last time- in a surprisingly coherent way -the lamby song.
'Well... who wants a lamby, lamby, lamby?'
'I do! I do!'
'So, go up and greet your mammy, mammy, mammy.'
'Hi there! Hi there!'
'So march, march, march around the daisies.'
'Don't, don't, don't you forget about the ba-by!'
he Huntor dramatically wipes away a tear, "That was beautiful." He smirks as he lifts up his gun. "But now the curtain closes."
And Wendy, just lost it. Fulled by the intoxicating aroma Dipper was giving out in spades and burning new feelings in her heart and loins, Wendy finally overcame the toxins and transformed into a deer just in time to buck the bastard tot he other side of the store.
None saw a smirking shadow leaved the battered lion bountyhunters body...
Wha- what happened? Where am I?" Groaned the Huntor...just in time to become the Hunted.
"Mommy." He whimpered as the enraged deer woman fell on him and tore him a new one...
Six...having run out of the basement...had seen the whole thing...such selflessness...such bravery...to have someone like that in your life...
She briefly looked toward the basement where the boy who saved her was stuck and injured...she looked to be about to go back down and help...but when the sirens called, she again lost her courage and ran...her survival as always...took priority...
Wendy carried Dipper on her back to the hospital...she refused to leave his side...
...Meanwhile...
Velma Corduroy was horrified, she'd been cleaning her daughters room...when she found ANTLERS. Her daughters antlers, clearly broken right off her head! "Oh, Wendy...what have you done?" She sobbed.
Her attitude would not improve after she learned her daughter was in the hospital...
...Later at the police station...
Huntor after having woken up, his body feeling like crap.
He tried to remember what happened to him... He looked at the drawing and then... nothing.
He tried to explain that to the cops, but with him torturing a child his fate was sealed regardless.
It didn't help that that damn Monkey had revealed that he's a poacher who kidnaps people and then hunts them for sport.
A confused Huntor is sent to Tarterus. The Psychonauts learn some interesting things while going around his head...all of it pointing to Slenderman but while Sunset believes them...their dismissed by most others. Clockwork and Prismo insisting stubbornly that it had to be the work of Bill. As not only was it how this world was 'setup'...but more importantly that Slenderman was too much of fool and a coward to do something so brazen...
...
...eleventy months sideways, four dimensions into next year and forty parsecs before the big bang later/earlier/in-between...
...
"What is the deal with that Annihilargenesistoriafimiaorgost? Is it a weapon or a smoothie?" Joked the pilot as he 'warmed up' his passengers before takeoff.
While the various floating eyeballs, sentient monoliths and probability hounds laughed in their seats... John Egbert just rolled his eyes. "Just fly the dang plane already." He groaned impatiently.
For a moment the 'pilot', looked at the reader, had his face melt way to reveal it as Slenderman, winked at them, then went back to normal without anyone else noticing...

(1) - The Deer Woman, sometimes known as the Deer Lady, is a spirit in various forms of Native American mythology that is primarily associated with fertility and love. Though primarily shown as a benign spirit, she is also shown to lure promiscuous men to their death. She appears as either a beautiful young woman or deer. They are the North American counterpart to a succubus; they're cousins but aren't as sex hungry.

Dipper washed his face off then looked deep into the mirror...he'd just taken a shower and currently wore just a towel...he gave himself a bit of a look-over...the scrawny noodle-armed boy who'd come to his Grunkle's Shack in the middle of nowhere was...well, he was still THERE...but now there was maybe something else...? He had some cool 'battle scars' now if nothing else. Dipper blushed at the memories of a naked Wendy crying over him in the hospital...
He looked at himself once more...
Between fighting monsters, running for his life from MORE monsters, and Grunkle Stan giving him more chores then Social Services would EVER allow...
Dipper flexed his biceps...there was DEFINITELY something forming there...perhaps...
And just like that, his towel fell off, exposing the one male 'muscle' that CLEARLY wasn't planning on growing anytime soon...
Dipper let out a resigned sigh as his brief fantasy shattered. He then got dressed just in time for his Grunkle to take them out to eat...and right past Tyler Cutebiker-
"Puma shirt? Panther shirt? Puma shirt? Panther shirt? Pum-
POW !
Tyler whimpered in pain as the giant men wearing only a loincloth punched him in the stomach, they laughed wickedly and smirked as Stan drove away oblivious...

...
Greasy's Diner is a local diner in Gravity Falls, which is in the shape of a log.
It's a typical restaurant that serves breakfast pancakes and other traditional American foods. Of course since the Merge many of the resident non-humans now show up at the diner for something to eat.
It's normal to see several fairies all sharing a pancake, a gremlin sitting at a booth ordering something, and deer women getting something to eat before or after work. And with the summer's rush of tourist coming to the sleepy town, it's now very busy.
One of the new waitress hits a woodpecker and a beaver- "HEY! Knock it off!" Snaps Norbert as he rubs the bump on his head -with a broom, Old Man Mcgucket is drinking a lot of coffee, Sheriff Blubs is eating pancakes very quickly while Deputy Durland points a speeding device at him, a certain blonde heiress was looking annoyed as she read the paper...
This is around the time Stan, Dipper and Mabel enter the diner, spotting a empty table the 3 made their way through the crowd. the three Pines were too hungry to notice, but people were giving them looks...well, one of them anyway...
Once Dipper, Mabel, and Stan got to the table, they sat down and waited for someone to get their order. Stan read the paper that's on the table, reading the headline of 'Pacific City Agency merges with SCP Foundation to help XJ9 fight new A.I. menace'. That's when Lazy Susan walks up to the table to get their order.
"Lazy Susan! There's my little ray of sunshine! Where were you yesterday?" Stan asked.
"I got hit by a bus!" Lazy Susan said.
"Ha ha ha ha! Hilarious!" Stan laughs.
"Thank you. Ha ha ha ha hee hee ho ho ho," Lazy Susan said laughing.
"You do split plates, right?" Stan ask.
"Maybe...," Lazy Susan said making her lazy eye wink. "Wink!"
"Great! We'll all split a one-fourth of the number seven, plus a free salad dressing for the lady, and a small plate of ketchup for the boy," Stan said.
"Got it," Lazy Susan said writing it down and walks off.
"But Grunkle Stan, I want pancakes!" Mabel said.
"With the fancy flour they use these days? What am I, made of money?" Stan ask as a piece of a bill shows out of Stan's sleeve, which he taps it back down. "Tap tap."
"Awww...," Mabel said.
Dipper looks over and sees the Manliness Tester, advertising a prize of free pancakes.
"Don't worry guys, pancakes are on me. I'm gonna win some by beating that manliness tester," Dipper said.
"Manliness Tester?" Stan ask.
"Beating?" Mabel also asked before she and Stan started laughing.
Neither notice a certain girl overhearing and getting interested...
"He says he's... he says he... HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Stan laughs.
"What? What's so funny?" Dipper said.
"Oh, no offense Dipper, but you're not exactly 'Manly Mannington.' Ha ha ha!" Mabel said.
"Hey, I am too "Manly... Manny" or whatever it is you said," Dipper said.
"Look, face the music, kid. You got no muscles, you smell like baby wipes, and let's not forget last Tuesday's... 'incident'," Stan said.
...Flashback...
Dipper is in the bathroom wearing just a towel and singing at the mirror with a comb as the microphone.
"Disco girl...coming through...that girl is you...," Dipper is singing.
Stan walks into the bathroom.
"DON'T COME IN! DON'T COME IN!" Dipper shouted.
...
"You were listening to girly Icelandic pop sensation 'BABBA'?" Mabel ask.
"No. Heh heh, I wasn't. It's not important. Look, come on guys, I'm plenty masculine. You see this chest hair?" Dipper said as she brings down his shirt, to show his chest and it shines very brightly.
"Put it away, put it away!" Mabel shouted.
"So smooth! My eyes!" Stan shouted being blinded.
"Aw man...," Dipper said putting back his shirt.
Stan and Mabel burst out laughing again.
Their laughter overshadows Pacifica chuckling. Who- although also blinded -got some nice pictures of his hairless chest...
"Fine, 'family of little faith'. Get ready to eat your words. And a plate a delicious pancakes," Dipper said as he walks toward the manliness tester as other people eating watch. "Alright, Dipper. Time to manhandle this...man handle..."
Dipper stares up at the machine and starts sweating. "And a one and a two..."
"Quit stalling!" Stan said.
Dipper starts tugging on the handle and the light starts moving toward the category he belongs in. The categories are "wimp," "middle-aged woman," "barely possible," "man," and "manly man." Dipper keeps on pulling the handle until the light goes down to "wimp." A card comes out of the machine that says 'You are a cutie patootie!'
"Oh, what? This thing must be broken. It's totally broken, guys. It's like a million years old, probably ran out of steam power or-," Dipper was saying till he gets pushed out of the way by Manly Dan.
Velma sighed, "Sweetie-
But Manly Dan just cracks his knuckles ignoring his wife as his sons watch him. Wendy was not here. Between still shaken from the whole 'Dusk 2 Dawn' ordeal and other 'issues'; She was spending time by herself rethinking everything...
"It's rickety man, you shouldn't even-," Dipper was saying.
Manly Dan pushes on the handle with his pinky and the machine automatically goes to "Manly Man" before exploding and giving everyone free pancakes.
"Yes! Pancakes for everyone!" Manly Dan shouted. Velma just shakes her head...
Everyone at the restaurant cheers. A pancake falls on Dipper's head. Mabel and Stan laugh at Dipper.
"I need to get some chest hair and fast," Dipper said. He starts running out but is tripped by a beaver- "Hey! Watch it!" Snaps Dagget.
"I'm fine! Heh heh! Everything's fine!" Dipper shouts as he continues runs out leaving everyone else to enjoy the pancakes and the beaver shakes his fist at him...only to be knocked over again as a VERY amused Pacifica secretly ran after Dipper...
Velma groans as Dipper runs out before she could make Dan apologize...she knew he was just asserting his authority over Wendy's 'chosen', but that was going too far! That boy deserved better after what the did for their daughter!
...In the forest ...
Wendy was wandering around in the woods near the forest commune of her aunts. Since the merge many deer women around gravity falls have tried integrating themselves into a more urban settings...but mostly to find more men, better income and BETTER parties. Most Deer woman are still reluctant to leave the woods.
And of course the whole 'au naturel' attitude and increasingly lackluster nudity laws made for the occasional uproar...
Wendy was naked, she was practicing her deer form. But mostly she just wandered about nude in the privacy of the woods...
After her parents found the antlers in her room- and allowing her to keep Dipper company until he got better -they had a LONG talk with her...
Wendy had always felt ashamed of being related to- in her mind - a bunch of sex crazed nymphomaniac's...she'd been mostly able to ignore the whole thing back before the Cleaving when her family was forced to hide their heritage and their nudity...now...not so much...
It most certainly didn't help that she was going through the 'big change' several years early!
But Dipper sacrificing his dignity and- nearly -his life made her realize how silly that all was...besides, her embracing her deer side was what kept Dipper from getting killed by those wax dummies...how was that NOT a good thing?
Speaking of Dipper...
...
SHUT UP!
Everyone looked at Dipper stunned. "Wendy is the nicest, strongest, coolest, smartest, most amazing woman I've ever meet! I don't care if I never have sex with her! She's my friend, she's a good person, and saving her is the right thing to do! SO I'M DOING IT! SO GO FUCK YOURSELF!" Said Dipper in-between gobs of blood leaking out from his mouth...
...
Wendy smiled at that memory...if Dipper thought she was cool and didn't think she was a slut...then the rest of the world could go fuck itself...She was a deer woman dammit! And if she wanted to get naked and fuck, SHE WAS GOING TO FREAKING FUCK!
With this new liberated mindset: She was spending more time learning her heritage, being naked, frolicking in the woods, practicing her sex magic and transformation.
Now that she was no longer repressing her 'true' self, her urges were less sever and easier to control...at least when not around Dipper...
Evidently the reason why her 'big change' was happening early was because Dipper possessed the ULTIMATE turn-on for Deer woman: The HEART of a true HERO.
It hadn't fully developed yet due to him being so young...but there was potential...and all the adventures he'd experienced since coming to Gravity Falls was only making it mature faster...
If he was only older...
Wendy shook her head, best not to think down that path...Even if she was willing to overlook the age difference...she had her own 'baggage' to deal with...
Still...Dipper was a nice guy...while most kids his age thought of Pokemon and poptarts...Dipper was actually interested in serious things in a relationship...at the very least she should help him find another girl to be with...but who?
CRACK!
Wendy was so distracted by her inner-turmoil...she never saw it coming before it was too late...
...
Dipper was having a funtime with his new manitour buddies. Punching stuff, partying, punching stuff, relaxing in a hotspring naked...punching stuff...
It all made him feel like a REAL man..a real man that was VERY tired... Chutzpar told him he had a while before his FINAL test ceremony was to begin and that pain hole had REAL taken a lot out of him...
So wanting to make sure he was fresh for becoming a man...he sleeps in some shrubs...
Which is exactly what Pacifica had been waiting for...
She'd been following him all day...throwing his real clothes down the incinerator while no one was looking, taking pictures of his loincloth clad form- FOR STRICTLY BLACKMAIL PURPOSES; as she would constantly justify to herself...
She sneaks up on him...blushes a she gets close to his almost bare form...then slowly lifts up his loincloth...then snickers... "Some man." She mocks...while deep down she's REALLY thinking 'So tiny...so cute...'
She quickly throws that thought aside...She takes a few pictures of his minuscule genitals- FOR BLACKMAIL PURPOSES!(she would AGAIN angrily screech to any who asked).
She was about to back away and leave...
"Wendy..." Mumbled Dipper to himself, a happy smile on his still sleepy face.
Pacifica snarled, 'Stupid red-head with big boobs...trying to impress her? Well let's see how she likes this!' She pulls out a permanent marker...
"Uh, shouldn't we help Destructor?" Asked one of the Manitour secretly watching this from nearby.
"Dude, everyone knows the unspoken exception to the 'Men fear nothing' rule, is a pissed off woman! He's on his own!" Said his friend...
Dipper, eye's lazily opened and saw...Pacifica snickering!? She was bent over him as she put the final touches on-
"WHAT THE BLOOD!?" Snapped Dipper as he jumped up, startling Pacifica. Written across his belly were the words:
VIENNA SAUSAGE FOR SALE!
FREE OR BEST OFFER!
With an arrow pointing toward his GENITALS!
"Oh, snap!" The manitour couldn't help it...they HAD to laugh!
A mortified Dipper frantically tried to rub it off, but it was special perma-mystic brand! He was stuck with it for life! Dipper snarled, "What the hell!?" He barked angrily.
Pacifica was a A bit taken aback from getting caught, but she quickly reasserts herself. "I'm just reminding you not to get caught up in your little man-fantasy." She saunters over, an uncomfortable and flustered Dipper- suddenly VERY self-aware he was practically naked in front of a cute girl -found himself losing ground to her and being backed up against the wall.
Pacifica presses up against him. "It's been amusing watching you pretend to be a man. But who are you trying to fool?" Feeling very bold, she reached down and 'cupped' his loins, earning a startled 'eep' from a mortified Dipper.
While the manitour just shuffled about uncomfortable at the sight of one of their own being so brutally emasculated...but also perhaps...a bit jealous?
"You can prance about all day in a loincloth, punching things and screaming at the top of your lungs. But I think we both know that this- Dipper let's out an involuntary moan as she squeezed his man meat -more then proves that your more girl then boy." Mocked Pacifica eagerly...who despite her confidence was starting to feel a bit 'hot under the collar' herself...even more so when she felt Dipper's 'reaction'.
"Oh! Well, unless you've somehow managed to stuff a micro-sock down there without me noticing...looks like you like this, weirdo?" She squeezes it even more, Dipper's legs were now jelly...his eyes heavy with tears of shame...but DANG if he wasn't horny as all get out!
Pacifica laughed, dang it all if she was enjoying this! She was just as horny as Dipper was, sadly for him she was better at hiding it. "Savor this you freak of nature, this is the closest you'll ever get to a 'woman's touch' down 'there'. Your dink is so pathetic that it couldn't penetrate Swiss cheese!"
The manitour's cringed, dang that was just COLD! They felt that BURN from 10 feet away!
"Oh, and what have we here?"
Dipper blinks away the tears and shame...and looks to where she was gesturing...IT WAS A CHEST HAIR! HE HAD AN HONEST TO GOODNESS-
And then she grabbed it...
Dipper's eye's went wide... "No...please...come on...I've waited so long..." He implored, he NEEDED this...
Pacifica eagerly laps up his pleading, "Make a WISH-
pluck
Dipper felt his heart sank...as the last shred of masculinity he had was taken away...and blown into his face...
Pacifica was happy, she had the boy that had taken out monsters on his knees BEGGING. She felt elated, on top of the world, invincible, unstoppable...so of course she finally pushed it too far...
"I just wished that whore Corduroy was here, why you'd lower yourself to love a sex-addicted Deer fucker I'll never-
CRACK!
Pacifica tasted the blood in her mouth before her body hit the ground. She looked up stunned, she'd torn his loincloth off on the way down but Dipper didn't care, DIPPER WAS PISSED!
To Pacifica's shock she found herself being forcibly pulled off the ground and slammed against the wall.
"NEVER BADMOUTH WENDY!" Screamed Dipper.
"Insulted His Mate?" Whispered one Manitour to the other. "Insulted his mate." Agreed the other.
Another tsked, "And she was SO in control until then..."
"YOU LISTEN TO ME YOU SPOILED BRAT! WENDY IS WORTH A HUNDRED OF YOU! AND WHO ARE YOU TO LOOK DOWN AT HER- OR ANYONE!? LET'S SEE HOW YOU- Before Pacifica can blink, her clothes are ripped off -HA! CALL ME 'SMALL'!? LOOK AT YOU! AT LEAST I HAVE MINE, YOUR'S MIGHT AS WELL NOT EXIST!- He angrily berates her flat chest -AND IF NOTHING ELSE; AT LEAST WENDY AND I ARE LOVED! WHAT ABOUT YOU!? WOULD ANY OF YOUR HUNDREDS OF SYCOPHANTS GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU WITHOUT YOUR MONEY AND FAME!? I HAVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MY BACK! CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! IF YOU DIED TOMORROW WOULD ANYONE CARE?! IF YOU TRIPPED AND BROKE YOUR NECK, WOULD ANYONE WEEP!? NO!YOUR THE WORST LINK OF A CHAIN OF ASSHOLES! I BET MY DICK THAT THEY WOULD ALL SING 'DING, DONG THE BLONDE BITCH IS DEAD! HALLELUJAH, HOLY SHIT!'" He tosses her to the ground. "NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BEFORE I DISCARD THE LAST SHRED OF MY APPARENTLY USELESS MANHOOD AND BEAT YOU TO DEATH!"
Pacifica ran away naked and in fear of her life...sobbing...
Dipper glares after her...takes several deep breath's...then collapses to the ground exhausted... "Holy crap...did I seriously just do that? Oh, man...I...I can't feel my legs...Wow, I'm shaking...I'm seriously shaking..."
He looks over to the stunned looks of the manitour, Dipper snorts. "Okay, fine. I get it, I'm out. Just give me a moment to recover and I'll leave."
"The hell you are! THAT ROCKED!" Shouted one of them and the others cheered in agreement.
"Wait, what?" Asked Dipper confused.
"Buddy, you destroyed that girl! Which, ordinarily we'd be against...but since you were protecting your mate that makes it okay! AND AWESOME!" Again, this sentiment is eagerly cheered on.
Dipper sighed, "She's not my mate...she's so out of my league...my chances...well...what 'chances'? He admitted somberly.
The manitour are a little confused by this statement, but press on. "We'll if nothing else. Your a man to us." Many cheer their agreement.
Dipper looked at them surprised, "What about my final trial?" He asked confused.
"Right, were going to level with you: the final trial was just for you to kill that wussy multi-bear who listen to girly BABBA music all day..."
Dipper looks at them horrified, "You were going to have me MURDER a sapient creature just because of his taste in music!?"
The manitour blanched...then looked thoughtful, "Huh...wow, when you say it out loud...that DOSE sound horrible...I guess we'll have to rethink that...but whatever! In the meantime your a man!" They all cheered while Dipper just looked at them in shock and disgust.
It's then that Dipper realized... THESE were the people he'd idolized and saw as the perfect example of men? Well forget that! He'd rather never be a man at all then do something that horrible! ...which makes him even more depressed as he realized he'd basically wasted the whole day with nothing to show for it but a VERY embarrassing message scrawled across his chest...
A dejected Dipper politely declines their request for another party and just leaves...his clothes are found destroyed so he just put his loincloth back on...and marches off in defeat...
splat
And then he sees it... right on the manitours doorstep... WENDY'S HAT...covered in BLOOD...and the blood trailed away...leading a frantic Dipper onward...
...
North Pole -
In the frozen wastelands of the northern lands, the evil snow sorcerer known as Winterbolt made his home. He remember his ice specter being destroyed and him transforming into a tree. But thanks to the merge that brought many worlds to be merged together with spell casting magic being destroyed. Winterbolt without his magic wandered the frozen wastelands of the north, learning about this new world he found himself in and how to use the technology he came across. He manage to even get his hands on a two Mr. Handies and a protectron that were in a army supply depot that had a working IFV. He reprogram the robots using the smartphone and watching a video how to do so.
The IFV is a six wheeled vehicle designed for supporting infantry operations and transporting soldiers through the battlefield in comfort. It is a fairly tall design, with a forward driver's position, sitting over the primary engine, in a compartment isolated from the troop section. The vehicle can carry six soldiers and two power armor units in reasonable comfort in this section, with a note that power armor units must stand for transportation. For defense, it is provided with a 105mm gun in an autonomous dorsal turret and a pair of ball-mounted 76mm guns to the sides of the driver's cabin, giving it its distinctive whiskers.
And with the supplies that could fit in the truck, Winterbolt with his robot minions wandered the frozen lands. Winterbolt collected and learn as they traveled, all to gain back the power he once had. That's when he discovered the abandoned and partially destroyed city named Tesla City.
Now a year later he now rules the city with a cold iron fist. He goes by the name of Mr. Winter with the backstory of him being the only survivor of Tesla City. Which had grown in size thanks to the fact that there is a vast platinum mine underneath the city. Which thanks to the robots and the automatons which are giant steam powered robots that are built in the city's factories, he has mined around the clock, allowing him to corner the market on the rare metal. Many people come to his city to see the steampunk machines at work that can take working in below zero weather. While others came to work the mines and other jobs that are needed to keep the city running.
Winterbolt using his newfound wealth to research in gaining back his lost magic. He does have a freeze ray that he brought along with magic items that use passive magic which is the only magic besides borrowed magic that works in this world. He knows about how those Santa's and guardians have their powers thanks to The Man In The Moon giving them some of his magic.
"HELLO THERE," a voice called out surprising Winterbolt who is in his study.
"Come out," Winterbolt said putting down the amulet that protects the wearer from burns.
"I'M RIGHT HERE," Bill Cipher said as he appears on a mirror hanging over the fireplace, sipping a glass full of frozen and shattered bits of Slenderman. "AND I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU AND COME HERE TO OFFER YOU A DEAL TO GET YOU ICE MAGIC BACK."
"What kind of deal?" Winterbolt ask recognizing a demon when he sees one and it's better to listen before taking any action against one.
Bill takes a big sip and spits it out, "Yuk disgusting! Make my drink taste good! was that too much to ask!?" He shouts as he angrily blasts the broken bits...Winterbolt eagerly joins in...he watched the things movie after losing a bet...so he had plenty of rages stored up...
Neither notice a shard rolling away...
...
"Hmmmm...it seems I owe you an apology heathen..." Said Cortes the Conqueror...he examined his new sword as it glowed an eery green...
"Water under the bridge", reassured Tzekel -Kan wickedly as El Dorado burned around them...no one noticing or caring about his new stone eye...
...
Dipper knew that this was a trap...Wendy's blood made into a nice little trail...and into convenient little arrows sometimes? A Hide-behind NOT hiding AND pointing the way?! Of course it was a trap! But if there was even a small chance Wendy was in trouble...he had to take it!
Dipper followed the trail up the hill, desperately running with Wendy's hat in his fist...
The sight he saw below...made him vomit.
Two giant barbarian-like beings were 'enjoying' some female captives. Dipper recognized the words they shouted as they...'thrusted'... as ancient canaanite...he learned a little bit of this language when he was researching some of the worst pagan Gods that could've been brought by the Merge...and the old canaanite gods were some of the worst...he didn't know enough to translate...but he was at least able to figure out their names: Magog and Agog.
Dipper briefly wondered how pagan gods got to America but he decided it didn't matter, all that mattered was rescuing the woman...
Unfortunately, most of them had either been ripped in two by the barbarians massive dicks or asphyxiated to death as they raped their corpses...
There was only one left...Dipper felt his heart sink...WENDY!
Wendy was naked and tied up...her eye's were drowsy...yet full of fear...
Dipper raised his spear, ready and eager to...to...to do what?
Dipper groaned, What was he thinking? They were five times his size! This wasn't some action flick! Wendy's virtue and life was on the line! He couldn't just smash his way in like some dumb 'macho' guy like those stupid manitour...
A light bulb pops over Dipper's head...
He silently hides behind a bush...but not before briefly showing himself to Wendy and giving their tradmark 'Zipped lip' to her.
Wendy was still frightened, but hope was burning in her heart...and some 'other' places. But she stifled that thought as she kept her eyes focused on the big brutes as their giant dicks tore the last of the other woman they captured in two...
They then began to eye her hungrily, she began to sweat...
bump!
"OW!" Shouted Magog- although talking in ancient Cannonite, 'sweaty, hormonial men' was a language all deer woman were naturally fluent in -as Dipper hit him from behind with a stone. "Hey? Who hit me?" He turned to his brother, "You hit me?" "What? No!" Said Agog, clearly annoyed to have his sex interrupted. "Well your the only one here!" Challenged Magog. "You calling me a liar?!" "Well I ain't calling you for dinner!"
And just like that both, were fighting...
'Wow...their idiots...' Thinks Wendy and Dipper as the later helps the former escape while their too busy fighting-
HONK!
Went the hide-behind that just briefly pops out behind Wendy with a clown horn.
The two kids freeze as the two monsters of men look toward them, "HEY! HE'S STEALING OUR WOMAN!" "GET HIM!"
No time to talk; Wendy turns into a deer, bites Dipper's loincloth and runs with him swinging from her mouth...
Dipper winched in pain, both from the indignity and the pain of the wedgie crunching his rear and balls...but he swallowed his pride and focused on figuring out a way to save his friend.
Ignoring the rips in both his loincloth and scrotum he quickly directs Wendy to lose them by scampering up a tree-
CRACK!
Only for it to be smashed down, causing them to fall down a hole...where they find Minotaur, Sawtooth and a naked Pacifica?!
'Oh, my.'
'What the heck?!'
...
...Earlier...
Pacifica was sad...
Whether because of being nude, the emotional thrashing she'd received...or being captured by Luchadores as she ran through the forest...probably the later...
Pacifica recognized the Luchadores from their wanted posters...if she remembered correctly they were from the same world as The current presidents gang- The Saints -She'd heard that they'd been defeated. But it looks like they simply went underground after the Merge and somehow managed to make themselves into a underworld power.
The minotaur joined up with the Luchadores after the Merge had screwed up everything for his world. The Olympian pantheon had lost their powers - Namely being immortal - The hydra was killed by a anti-tank missile being used on it's main body, the Nemean Lion was gassed to death, most of the man eating cyclopes were gunned down, both Typhon and Echidna were killed by missile strikes. The surviving monsters- who ate people -quickly learned to stay hidden from the humans who- unlike their world -can see and kill them.(1)
Long story short: creatures like the minotaur are now forced to work with humans to survive in this new world...
The cave they were working from mostly dealt in small time stuff. Poaching local wildlife, picking up drop offs of cargo, keeping items hidden for tax evasion purposes. Stuff like that.
Right now they're sitting on a shipment of gemstones from those ponies. The gemstones aren't that valuable thanks to the gems being like salt crystals that grow over time. Like how there's that rock farm that grows the crystals inside of rocks.
There was also a shipment of blaze that was being harvested from Some Sawtooth's that they had locked up with an EMP device that keeps it docile.
One gangmember was on patrol when he saw the naked Northwest heir wandering unescorted through the forest. Seeing easy money, he'd snatched her...
Pacifica was left naked, shackled, gagged and dangling above a pissed off Sawtooth. She was sobbing and she'd even pissed herself with fright...While the guy who'd brought her seemed to be getting yelled at over the phone?
She suppressed her fear to listen in on this oddity...only to find herself focusing on something else...
Namely Dipper and Wendy coming down one of the vents the gang had built into the cave...
Dipper and Wendy quickly hide behind a crate, they looked at the scene before them baffled...
Wendy- still coming down from a panic attack from nearly getting RAPED -was more focused on getting the heck out of there then anything else.
Dipper...well, he was conflicted...he knew pacifica was a bitch...and he SHOULD be enjoying the sight of an asshole getting her comeuppance...but he wasn't...all he could see was a terrified, piss-soaked, helpless, SOBBING girl looking at him...her eye's trying to PLEAD with him...but just as quickly give in to resignation and despair when she realized WHO it was...for after all...what idiot would save a bitch like her?
Wendy...also saw this, She quickly whispered... "We've just gone through hell...were outnumbered and outgunned...no one would think less of you if you just left and got help...I certainly wouldn't." she reassured him...
She knew she was being cruel- despite what rumors would suggest rumors, she had nothing against Pacifica. Heck, she barely knew her! -but the sight of those girls getting ripped apart as they were raped was still fresh in her mind...she was BARELY keeping it together as is...
Dipper sighed... "I know...I know your right...I know what your saying is the smart thing...and it REALLY doesn't help that I hate her guts right now- it's only then Wendy notices his 'tattoo' and some of his anger rubs off on her...while also trying VERY hard not to laugh -which only makes what I'm about to do all the more stupid."
And just like that, all of Wendy's fears and anxiety's left her. When one is able to see the full glory of a 'heart of a hero', how can you feel anything but inspired?...and maybe a bit horny...but mostly inspired!
Dipper quickly tells her to go back through the hole and draw Magog and Agog to the cave while he set free the Sawtooths. there only hope to rescue her and get away is if they distracted everyone long enough for them to get away!
Wendy daringly popped her out, saw the two pagan God brothers searching for and shouted: "HEY YOU WUSSES! YOUR WEAPONS ARE AS LIMP AS YOUR DICKS!"
The enraged shouting- and hole being punched in the roof of the ceiling -was enough to get the Luchadores running to the other side of the cave.
Now although it was true that they had the brothers outnumbered, outgunned and had a freaking minotaur on their side... the cannannite brothers couldn't be counted out just yet. They weren't slouches when it came to being warriors after all. More importantly- unlike the minotaur -they came from a world of enlightened magic and frequent gun fights. so although their 'tolerance' wasn't as great as it once was, they could handle there fair share of bullets before going down.
So the fight was roughly even- at least as far as Dipper could see as he used the distraction to unleash the trapped machine beats...
In the ensuing chaos, Dipper untied a surprised looking Pacifica from the ceiling. Before he unties her completely, the fight destroys enough blaze to start engulfing the cave in a fiery inferno.
Much to her embarrassment, Dipper carries Pacifica out bridal style as she clings to his body in fright.
"Grab on," Wendy shouted to Dipper and Pacifica as she transform into a deer.
Once the two were on her back, Wendy in her deer form race towards the entrance of the rapidly collapsing mine. The Sawtooth's chase after the fleeing form of Wendy with the two kids.
Hearing the screams of panic from the two kids who were looking behind her, Wendy ran faster. She spotted the charging minotaur ahead of her.
Wendy quickly dived between his legs, Dipper- still having his spear -panicked and instinctively thrust it between the beasts legs-
GAH!
The minotaur screamed as it was stabbed in the boing-loings-
CRASH!
Right before the sprinting Sawtooth- completely focused on it's prey-crashed into him, thus causing a brawl between the two-
FWOOM!
Right before the fire FINALLY reached the gangs munitions supplies, causing a fireball that engulfed them and everything else.
Wendy- having been yelled at by her dad enough times on what NOT to do during survival training - makes sure to runs to the SIDE of the entrance of the mine, instead of trying to run in a straight line to escape the incoming fireball... (2)
No time to celebrate, the trio run off...not seeing the fire start to spread to the nearby woods...
...
Bill Cipher smiles as the mad Xelor alchemist vivisects Slenderman...
"So were agreed? You help me out, I give you back your family and all the time you lost?"
Nox frowned... "Well to be hones...I had my doubts..." The he gained a psychotic grin as he plunged the scalpel up Slenderman's rectum, "But something about torturing this idiot REALLY puts me in the mood for mayhem so let's do it!" Bill gleefully laughs as they shake on it...
"HA! Who can stop me now?"
Slenderman says nothing...
...
Champa: god of Destruction of universe 6...lay dead on the ground...
His attendant Vados...gagged as the assailant chocked her, she didn't understand it! How could this THING have so utterly defeated her! Even her time magic-
CRACK!
And with a flick of it's wrist...her neck snapped...and she was allowed to fall to the ground...
...
Dipper lead Wendy and Pacifica back to town. To keep their minds off what just happened, He told them about how he wasted his day trying to 'be a man'. He'd just gotten to the part about his love of BABBA-
"You like that stuff?" Pacifica ask as she walks on the other side of Wendy who is still in deer form. While she had gotten better at being okay with being nude...she honestly didn't trust herself to be in her human form around Dipper right now.
"Yeah, I do," Dipper admitted keeping his eyes away from Pacifica who after realizing that she was still naked and in front of a boy she started freaking out- Well, freaking out MORE then she already was. -Which is another reason Wendy is in her deer form, acting as a barrier between the two younger kids.
"Yikes, those Manitour sound like my dad and brothers...MINUS there 'restraint'." Wendy said that last part with an eye roll. But she smiles at Dipper. "For what it's worth Dipper, your a man to me. Heck, if nothing else you've saved me twice already. If that doesn't make you a stud, I don't know what dose." Wendy said with an accidental purr that made both of them blush
Pacifica was annoyed at that...but nevertheless RELUCTANTLY admitted: "Yeah...thanks for saving me...I GUESS that was pretty manly...y'know, if you overlook the needle dick." Said a flustered Pacifica in a back-handed matter.
"Same goes for you table," an annoyed Dipper said frowning at Pacifica.
"I'm still growing," Pacifica growls as she cross her arms over her flat chest self-conscious.
"You two still haven't hit your growth spurt yet," Wendy said. "I remember when I was around your age... and then suddenly, I was twice as tall in less then a year and STILL growing."
While Wendy said, this she focused her Deer woman senses on the two kids beside her...and what she sensed...INTRIGUED her...
Between her heightened senses and her budding knowledge of sex magic...it gave her an insight into who was attracted to who and WHY.
Pacifica was trying to act aloof...but Wendy could smell that she was crazy attracted to Dipper...and not just in the physical way...there was some emotional intertwining as well...and not just because of the rescue...something...something else...
Dang it! She wasn't learned enough to get exact details...save that it involved Dippers new 'tatoo'- something Wendy only had the recent luxury to notice...and she'd been torn between laughing, ripping out Pacifica's throat, ripping off his loincloth to revel at the sight of his shortcoming, copy the idea herself and write similar disparaging remarks across his testicles while he slept -It was too bad, Pacifica attitude HAD been getting better thanks to Sunset's influence...but she still did crap like this...which sucked, because Pacifica was one of the few girls Dipper's age in town...
She turns to Dipper- she braced herself for the pure euphoria that taking in Dipper's intoxicating scent caused her -Sweet mercy... scantily clad, heart of a hero raging, clearly horny as all get out, nice muscles starting to develop, scandalous tattoo painted across his chest leaving him nice and shamed...it was literally taking all of Wendy's willpower to not to rip away his 'V-card' by force...
'Okay, DEFINITELY need to get Dipper a girlfriend before I lose it...but no way I can set him up with a bitch willing to do something like THAT...maybe if I helped Sunset mentor Pacifca...?'
Oblivious to Wendy's internal musings, Pacifica voiced some of her own. "It's no wonder with how big your dad is. Not to mention, I've seen your mother," Pacifica said jealously. Wendy's breasts were the second biggest in town and since the biggest were her MOTHER'S, she was sure they would only grow MORE.
"Yeah... not looking forward to that. I'm going to have back and shoulder pains. Not to mention how they will just get in the way when I fight," Wendy pointed out.
"Yeah... sure... REAL bad," said Pacifica, clearly not convinced.
"Wait, I thought deer woman had stronger body's and all that?" Asked Dipper confused.
"Well, yes, but it still be a pain," Wendy said before seeing some landmarks that she recognized. "We're near one of my clothes stashes."
"You have stashes of clothes?" Dipper ask.
"I can't carry my clothes. So I put stashes around the forest," Wendy said.
Wendy lead them to a clearing that looks like a group were there from the bottles and empty food containers. Not to mention a strange musky smell. Which Wendy knows all too well.
"Looks like my aunts had a party here," Wendy concluded.
"A party?" Pacifica ask.
"Yes an adult party and knowing them that usually means they'll have grabbed my clothes to replace theirs... again," Wendy sighed wearily.
"This happens before?" Asked Dipper.
"Don't ask," said Wendy. She goes behind a rock to transform back into human and searches through her stash, hidden in a hollow tree.
"Anything for me?" Pacifica asked hopefully.
"Eh...well, my aunt's 'party clothes'. Said Wendy awkwardly as she throws Pacifica something that was basically a 'kid-sized maid-outfit',"
"There's nothing else?" Asked Pacifica annoyed and more then a little mortified.
"Trust me, this is literally the least mortifying thing in there." Groans Wendy as she tries VERY hard not to look at her aunts 'sex-swing outfit.'
Without a whole lot of options, she wears...getting a chuckle out of Dipper...much to her aggravation.
Meanwhile, Wendy- not having any other options -ends up wearing a bikini -much to Dippers delight and Pacifica's further irritation.
"Anything for me?" Asked Dipper.
"Sorry, until this summer I didn't exactly have CLOSE guy friends...so I never needed a reason to keep guy clothes with me." She lied quickly...there was no way in hell she was going to tell them her aunts have been deliberately stealing all the guys clothes just to give her an excuse to NOT clothe any cute guys if she happens to find one naked...something for which she was VERY grateful for now...
She dose find a white shirt to give him. And points out that considering the amount of weird people in town these days, people probably won't notice him wearing a loincloth...
"Lots of cloth and so very little loin," Pacifica said scathingly, still irritated for wearing a maid costume and silently rejoiced at the sight of a flustered Dipper covering his groin.
"And nothing to fill even a training bra yet," Dipper shot back causing Pacifica to cover her chest.
"Oh, for crying out loud you guys! Really! After all that, were doing this!?" Shouted Wendy annoyed, after everything she'd gone through this day she was done with this crap!
Wendy whirled on Pacifica, "For crying out loud girl! He just saved your life! After that tatoo and whatever other crap you pulled, I doubt most other people would've blamed him if he left you to die! WHICH HE DIDN'T! Would it kill you to show some gratitude!?"
Pacifca blanched as Wendy then turned on Dipper.
"And Dipper, come on man! So you have a tiny dick? So what! Those asseholes who tried to rape and murder me had dicks the size of mountains! Do you want to be like them?!"
Dipper went from to green almost instantly...but shook his head in denial.
"Of course you don't! Your a nice person! More importantly your a nice person who's saved my life and the lives of others several times! Dude, you let yourself got SHOT for me! Repeatedly! I knows 'men' three times your age who'd have just ran like cowards and left me or Pacifica to die! If that's not being a man, then screw being a man! Your Dipper freaking Pines and I'll take you over any 'MAN' any day of the week! And I'm sure when blondie here swallows her pride, she'll agree!"
Dipper...he had no words...he was crying... "Thank you Wendy."
She smiles, but then turns to Pacifica expectantly, "Well? ...Were waiting...keep in mind that the get-up your wearing is a LOANER and I can take it back and send you on your way in the 'altogether' whenever I want..." She half-joked...
Pacifica groaned but nodded, "Yeah, okay...I'm sorry Dipper...for mocking your manhood-
"And the tattoo." Pointed out Wendy
"Yes, And for giving you that childish tattoo..."
"And for being horny for his hot bod."
"Yes, and being horny for your hot bo-NO!" Screamed a mortified Pacifica as a mischievous Wendy laughs while Dipper flusters...
However, Wendy's amusement was cut short, as she sniffed the air in concern.
FRAK! WE NEED TO RUN! NOW!
She grabbed them and and galloped way in her deer form before they could react...just as the smoke began to rise...
...
As they continue to run through the woods, they came to clearing where they found wood cravings and calculations written on the ground. The wood cravings are of the 5 element bearers, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Some are just small pieces of woods while others are craved from fallen trees. They went deeper finding more and more wooden figures and more calculations written on the dirt or on the trees.
As they continue to travel through the woods, they came to clearing where they found wood cravings and calculations written on the ground. The wood cravings are of the 5 element bearers, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Some are just small pieces of woods while others are craved from fallen trees. They went deeper finding more and more wooden figures and more calculations written on the dirt or on the trees...eventually, they found the source...
"There has to be something that I'm missing," Twilight said as she sat on her flank looking over the calculations she had written down.
She's been coming to this place since she started living with the beaver brothers. For although Stump's sessions were helping here...she still had issues. Which was why she was here; Someplace where she could be by herself and alone with her thoughts. It's where she goes to try to figure out what went wrong with her friends. She spent time carving wooden figures of her friends alongside mathematical equations to try to figure out where things got so bad.
The moment Dipper saw her plot...he recognized her as the sexy She-Beaver from the dawm!...except not a beaver! But a pony! ...and not just any pony...
"Twilight...Twilight Sparkle?" He asked remembering her 'missing' posters. "what are you doing here?" Dipper asked...while also trying to make sure no one noticed his erection at seeing her.
Twilight was shocked by the sudden appearance of so many people, including the boy from a while back...wearing a LOINCLOTH of all things...his scantily clad state seemed familiar...but she couldn't put her hoof on it...
Her thoughts were interrupted by the girls recognizing her too.
"Wait...that's right! You're Twilight! the element of magic who all the ponies are looking for," said Pacifica.
"Yep, that's the cutie mark from the poster," Said Wendy as she looks at said mark, which really just leaning forward to whisper to Dipper. "Also, Dipper you suck at hiding your boner. Usually I'd tease you, but the last thing we want is this poor girl to get more skittish then she already is. So tuck it in!" She hissed.
"You need to go back to Canterlot, everyone there is searching for you," said flustered Dipper quickly desperate to changed the subject while hiding his 'reaction' behind a nearby stump.
"Well, I'm not going back. Not till, I figure out why things fell apart," Twilight said firmly...while also filing away Dipper's 'readjustment' away in her mind for something to look up later...
"What do you mean?" Dipper asked confused.
"They were my herd and now they're not," Twilight Explained.
"Oh...that's right! Sunset explain to me that ponies are herders, starting from their family to their friends. Once they form a herd they stay together and always have a strong bond with each other. Which is why it's such a big deal when ponies found out that Celestia abandon Sunset and how the element bearers broke apart," Pacifica elaborated.
"That's why, I have to figure out how to fix it. I need to bring us all back together," Twilight said.
"I know what you're going through. When I was held at gun point my so called friends all abandon me," admired Wendy. 'Well... except one.' She thinks with a blush as she tries not to look toward Dipper...
"Then you know what it's like. How you use to have people around you that you thought you could always count on But when it mattered the most they just leave you...," Twilight trails off sadly.
But then she brightens up, "But I'm not giving up! Friends don't give up on each other! I'll figure out how to fix things! I've had a setback... or 12... but I'm confident that if I keep to my calculations I'll soon have the answer I need to all my problems!"
FWOOM!
Right on que...the fire comes in...
Wendy cursed, she'd been so shocked to see Twilight she'd forgotten to keep her senses trained on the fire! It had spread from the cave hideout and had spread to most of the nearby forest! Before she could do anything, the fire was encircling them, cutting them off...
"NO! MY RESEARCH!" Shouts a horrified Twilight as the fire starts to consume everything she'd worked for the past couple months! She frantically tried to save it, but the fire was insatiable!
Although increasingly fearful of being burnt alive, Dipper was surprised when music began playing out of nowhere.
"What's going on?" Dipper asked.
"It's a heart song," realized Pacifica in awe.
"A what?" Dipper ask.
"You never been apart of one? It's something that the ponies can do that is passive magic. It just happens when a pony is at a high emotional level and just bursts out in song like in a musical. It doesn't happen a lot but it does happen," said Wendy while also eyeing the rising smoke. (3)
'I have to find a way' 'To make this all ok'
To their surprise, they saw the power of the heartsong was keeping the fire at bay!
'I can't believe this small mistake' 'Could have caused so much heartache'
Sadly...it seemed that as Twilight's heart began to fall into despair...
'Oh why?' 'Oh why?'
So too did the heart song lose it's power...
'L osing prom ise'
Dipper watched as the unicorn grew more frantic...
'I don't kno w what to do!'
And that's when it hit him...
'Seeki ng answe rs'
The heartsong was on it's last legs...about to die...and so were they...
'I fear I won't get through to-'
'How did we get here?'
https://www.deviantart.com/du0504028/art/Burn-the-Ships-974776166
Everyone was stunned at the sight of Dipper stepping into the song, the tone, the VERY essence of the song itsself completely changing...
"What?" Twilight asked seeing Dipper somehow defying ALL conventional knowledge about Heart songs by stepping into HER heart song and causing the music to change to a more up beat one...
'We're cast away on a lonely shore'
Dipper sang...
'I can see in your eyes, dear'
And indeed Twilight can see it in HIS eyes too...
The hurt...the betrayal...all from one he'd trusted implicitly...
'It's hard to take for a moment more'
Twilight sang, the magic of the Heartsong RESTORED!
We've got to-
They sang in unison...
'Burn the ships, cut the ties'
Dipper sang suddenly surprising Twilight.
'Send a flare into the night'
He urges her to walk with him...
'Say a prayer, turn the tide'
As the carvings of her former friends and of her old life...burned away...
'Dry your tears and wave goodbye'
Sang Dipper as he gave her a reassuring hug, giving Twilight the courage she needs-
'Step into a new day!'
-To re-enter the song!
'We can rise up from the dust and walk away'
Dipper sang as he gave Twilight a comforting hand on her shoulder...
'We can dance upon the heartache, yeah'
And lead her away from the burning wreck her obsessions and insecurities had become...
'So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships'
Despite everything, Twilight is tempted...
'And don't you look back'
Sang Dipper as he kept her and her gaze going forward...
'Don't let it arrest you'
Dipper continued to sing in a comforting way.
'This fear, this fear of fallin' again'
Twilight just watched him in awe...
'And if you need a refuge'
And she happily...eagerly followed him...
'I will be right here until the end'
Away from the old...and toward something new?
'Oh, it's time to'
Twilight sang again, her confidence growing...
'Burn the ships, cut the ties'
Both of them sang as more and more of Twilight calculations burnt...
'Send a flare into the night'
Dipper sang as carvings of Twilight's former friends burnt...
'Say a prayer, turn the tide'
Twilight sang as her PAST burnt...
'Dry your tears and wave goodbye'
Dipper sang as he helped her do just that.
'Step into a new day'
Both of them sang, trotting right past as all of Twilight's old memories...good and bad...
'We can rise up from the dust and walk away'
Just burnt away...
'We can dance upon the heartache, yeah'
Dipper also sang, all his anger, frustrations and rage...just seemed to fly off with the ashes...
'So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships'
Wendy and Pacifica watched amazed as they followed the two singers along...
'And don't you look back'
Dipper sang as he once more had to stop Twilight from looking back to one of the more 'happier' times...before it collapsed to rot and cinder...
'So long to shame, walk through the sorrow'
Again, the two other girls were amazed...for not only was the magic of the heartsong protecting them...
'Out of the fire into tomorrow'
But as more of Twilight's insecurities, obsessions and past burnt away...
'So flush the pills, face the fear'
But the magic was starting to make the fire dissipate!
'Feel the weight disappear'
And from the ashes...a new forest was now growing!
'We're comin' clean, we're born again'
Pacifica was so amazed of the orchestra of BOTH sound and sights...
'Our hopeful lungs can breathe again'
Twilight found herself embracing this, strange boy, confidence and happiness bursting in hear heart!
'Oh, we can breathe again'
And they could! The ash and smoke were gone!
'Step into a new day'
Sang Dipper as he lifted up a log to help Twilight pass.
'We can rise up from the dust and walk away'
Sang Twilight as she in turn pushed over a boulder to help Dipper pass.
'We can dance upon the heartache, yeah'
Dipper sang as he lifted Twilight in a dramatic twirl...making her blush.
'So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships'
Twilight sang as her heart raced...
'Step into a new day'
Dipper sang as they finally got back to a non-damaged part of the forest.
'We can rise up from the dust and walk away'
Twilight sang as she began to hold him close.
'We can dance upon our heartache, yeah'
Dipper sang as he reciprocated the embrace.
'So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships'
Twilight sang, the darkness fully leaving both this day and her heart.
'And don't you look back'
Both of them sang, looking deeply into each others eyes as they circled each other while moving forward...
'And don't you look back'
Dipper sang to Twilight.
'And don't you look back'
Twilight finished as the heart song ended...
The other two girls had stayed out of it, lest they disturb it and the fire consume them... They Knew they SHOULD be jealous...but quite frankly all they could do was clap in awe...
"That was great," Pacifica said amazed at Dipper.
"Yeah, I didn't know you could sing," agreed Wendy.
"I didn't know either," Dipper said before turning back to Twilight. "Okay, listen. I'm not an expert in this sort of thing. But from what, I have heard. The other elements left you for someone that only knew for a day. They believed in the worst of you rather then question why should they believe a stranger to someone they know longer. What kind of friends are that?"
"They're not true friends...," Twilight said eye widening as her pupils shrink.
"Are they really friends or you all just group together because you are all the bearers of the elements?" Dipper ask.
"I... I don't know," Twilight admitted, she'd never thought it like that...
"You might not be part of a herd but you still have your family, maybe not your brother but your parents still love you," Wendy pointed out.
"I should go back. If only so my parents know that, I'm still okay," Said a timid yet resolved Twilight slowly.
"Good now lets see where to go next?" Dipper said as he climbs a rock to see where to go next.
From her position Twilight got a look up Dipper's loincloth as well as Wendy and Pacifica.
"Looks like he didn't choose to wear anything underneath," Pacifica said as she and Wendy held back from giggling.
"So that's what a male human sex organ looks like?," Twilight asked intrigued as she noticed it doesn't go in like stallions genitals tended to do. "Is it suppose to be that sma-"
"He's still a kid and growing," An annoyed Wendy interrupted as she grabbed Twilight's muzzle. "In any case, he doesn't need people to keep on pointing that out."
"And he literally just got you out of your depression by singing a beautiful ballet that synced with your heart and friendship magic so hard the world FORCED you into choreography...just...just don't go there, okay?" Pacifica adds, surprising both herself and Wendy who gives her an appreciative smile.
Maybe there was hope for her yet...
...
Meanwhile, Twilight- seeing she'd hit a sore subject -let it go...
And yet...
Her mind couldn't help but be filled by a question...
'Is it even physically possible for him to mate with reproductive organs that minuscule?'
This question filled her with scientific intrigue...and several other strange, new emotions that lit a fire in her soul...and a few other... not so 'PG' rated places of her anatomy...
...later...
After calling an uber, Dipper and the gang were taken to Greasy Diner to get something to eat while they wait for the cops to show up. The cops headed for the mine to see what's left of the hideout and arrest anyone left alive. They're also were told about the Sawtooth that was let out and came ready to deal with it.
Seeing that Twilight was concerned about being recognized too soon, Dipper gave her his shirt to hide her cutie mark- As that's how ponies recognize each other - And with how dumb ponies are, they were completely fooled.
This left Dipper walking through town in just a loincloth, but Wendy had been right. With so much weirdness in town, no one noticed...the tattoo on the other hand...
"HA! Best offer?! How about I-
CRACK!
After Wendy punched out that first...twenty guys, everyone else got the message...
"I'll pay for the laser surgery." Pacifica whispered to Dipper, who nods in appreciation...
...
Once at the diner they came across the rest of the Pine family. Dipper began to tell them what happen after they teased him about his current 'attire'...or rather lack thereof...again, the tattoo, REALLY not helping things much to a distraught Pacifica's shame...
Sadly, when he introduced his Twilight-
"YES! I HAVE A UNICORN FRIEND!" Shouts Mable as she jumps up and starts to advance on a increasingly freaked out Twilight...
Dipper groaned, it was this same attitude that got Mable kicked out of petting Zoo's... "Mable", he warned timidly...
But NOTHING was going to distract Mable this time!
"Were going to have tea parties, you'll fly me over the moon to find my prince charming and we'll learn the magic of friendship! Mable babels on and on as she starts to forcibly grab Twilight.
Twilight- not having the best of days -reacted how any sane, rationale person would after being grabbed by a complete stranger who couldn't take a hunt-
CRACK!
GAH!
-By kicking her in the cootchie...
"FRACK YOU! Listen to me! I'm not going to fly you to a prince charming, I'm not here to have a tea party AND I'm most certainly not here to show you the magic of Friendship!" Twilight ranted causing all nearby ponies to gasp.
"What? no friendship? What kind of pony are you!?" A pony named Cornflower shouted in disbelieving horror.
"Oh, suck it up already!" Twilight snorted then turns back to Mable who was still on the ground sobbing and clutching her groin... "And even if that last one were true, I would never want to be friends with an ungrateful bitch that treats her brother like crap!"
"I'm a good sister," Mabel defended between sobs.
"You did make fun of Dipper after he risked his life to save us," Pacifica pointed out equally annoyed
"He literally saved me twice already, so where do you get off calling him unmanly?" Accused Wendy irritably before turning to Stan. "And didn't we catch you watching that black and white old woman drama?"
"I was too lazy to get up to change the channel!" Stan denied hastily.
"Whatever, the point is this guy saved our lives, killed two freaking GIANT pagan gods and ended a forest fire with a sneer and a SONG! He's a man! We say he's a man! You disagree, frack off!" Said the girls in defense of Dipper.
Dipper...smiled at this. He understood now...chest hair...dick size...being 'cool'...murder for sport...losing your virginity...none of that made you a man...even if the whole world...even if your own FAMILY didn't think you were a man...if three awesome girls thought he was a man...well...dose anything else really matter?
Dipper smiled, hands on hips as the girls smiled at him...yep, he felt on top of the world...
"Wow, so your the guy who took down Magog and Agog?" Asked a gnome as he walked by, as he held up and pen and paper. "Your awesome, can I have your autograph?"
Dipper smirked, "Absolutely buddy." He says as he bent over-
RIP!
-Which apparently was the last straw for his poor, abused loincloth.
A flustered Dipper hastily covered himself as he experienced a barrage of wolf whistles, cat calls, cell phone pictures and 'even my little brother is bigger then that?"
'Eh, I'll take what I can get.' Thinks a nervously smiling Dipper as the girls hastily cover him and beat a hasty retreat...

TO BE CONTINUED?

Author's Note:
1 - It was just as bad for the gods who lost all of their powers. The Greek gods found themselves kicked out from Olympus- which came to rest on top of the Empire State Building in New York. -after finding out that without their powers, no one would just obey them anymore.
Not to mention that many of their talents were enchanted by their godhood. With that that gone, many found their 'skills' mediocre at best. It was a bit of a 'toss-up' what Gods did well or end up dead...
Aphrodite ended up as a Playboy bunny.
Apollo tried to make it in the music business but found that without his godhood his music wasn't that good. Not to mention being a bad loser got him banned from many places where he tried playing.
Ares reacted badly to losing everything, he attacked the cops that escorted them out of Olympus and was gunned down.
Artemis was found during a raid on a drug den with some of her followers who stayed with her. With them being underage and having no skills beyond hunting. They were forced to sell themselves and make drugs to survive.
Athena tried to make herself look good by telling mortals all the good that she had done. But this was thwarted thanks to Medusa and Arachne showing up with a tell all book about the REAL Athena. Completely ruined she fled in disgrace. The last anyone heard of her, she was spotted working a dead end job in a small town.
Demeter managed to earn favor by helping with all the messed up farmlands that happened thanks to the Merge.
Dionysus- no longer immune to the effects of all the wine that he drinks -quickly became a homeless drunk.
Hades, thanks to his skills in keeping his underworld running- and the NON-magical material wealth he'd accumulated over the centuries underground - got into the business world and is doing well for himself.
DISNEY Hades: Was surprised by his popularity, many people feeling like he got a RAW deal in the movie/series and love his bombastic 'in-your-face' personality. His version of the underworld is now a major tourist spot and he gets paid big bucks for 'celebrity' appearances...he is currently locked in a fierce legal battle with James Woods over those appearance fees...
Hephaestus became a successful engineer in metal works.
Hestia now works as a nurse in the nursery. Being one of the few goddesses that really didn't do anything to mortals.
Hera tried to continue as if nothing had changed but ended up working an office job. She did leave Zeus as there was nothing that was keeping them together anymore.
Hermes ended up working as a delivery man after being turn away from many other jobs. This was mostly because of his history of raping women like many of his fellow gods.
Poseidon now works as a fisher man, this also was due to being shunned for his history as a rapist.
Zeus ended up homeless and later found brutally beaten to death. No one was surprised by this after all his past sins were brought out in the open...
The 'lesser' gods managed to do better thanks to people not knowing them as well as the Main gods. Many of them managed to make new lives for themselves. But still struggle, as many of them have emotions now. And so Many are plagued by the guilt and shame of what they did and used to be...
2 - I find it dumb how people never just jump to the side when something is behind them that can't move anywhere but forward.
3 - Best thing I can come up with how musicals that happen in the show happens.

"What holiday is this?" Asami ask Korra as they walked around the shopping center near Canterlot Castle. everywhere they looked they saw gambling, booze, orgies, cross-dressing, celebratory burning of a yule log around Evergreens to ward off winter depression and a 'beggar' was voted 'the lord of misrule'.
"I DECLARE ALL CRIME IS LEGAL! IT'S PURGE TIME BABY!", screamed the newly crowned Stan Pines.
"Saturnalia , apparently it was started by a lost tribe of Tecaxic-Calixtlahuaca pagan Roman settlers that shipwrecked in America around 1476. It'd basically a 'Second Christmas' around here.
They turn a corner and find a bunch of monsters celebrating Yagmer(1). All around they saw them burning stumps, little boys chasing girls around trying to get a kiss under the hovering missletog beetles, newborn hatchlings touched the forehead of their ancestral corpses to symbolically connect them to their family roots and set fire to the local hamburglar...
"I'm surprise how widespread it's become," Asami said looking around. "Why are all the decorations Christmas themed?"
"From what I understand when they first started this after the Merge, The ones who set things up used the leftover decorations from last Christmas... and it just struck... Well that and it's just cheaper," Korra explains with a shrug.
"Hmmm...dose Santa deliver presents to this?," Asami asked with interest.
"Eh...their still in court deciding if it's their department or not. MAYBE Saturnalia will get them, but I doubt Yagmir will get the same treatment as it's only celebrated in places where there's a large population of monsters."
"Well, that doesn't seem fair. Monsters are everywhere these days. So why shouldn't they get included too?"
Before Korra can answer-
"GIVE ME YOUR BOOZE OR I'LL SMASH YOUR FACE IN!" Screamed a drunken Stan as he lead a equally drunken mob to riot!
...later that night...
It was the night before Satrunalia and all through the house, not a creature was stirring... except for Slenderman. Slenderman sneaks through the leaving naught but shadows and wisps as he goes to the twins room.
Dipper was not here... He'd been sleeping at Wendy's house or anyone that would have him since the party, still furious over Tyrone's creation/death.
Which is why Mable is left alone by just about everyone, for no matter how you look at it, she's the reason why someone died...
Slenderman menacingly looms over Mable's bed. As she toss and turns in a cold sweat as nightmares of everyone mocking her, blaming her and abandoning her filled her dreams.
"Right... let's get this over with..." Slenderman whispers to himself.
He rises to full height, he hovers over mable, the shadows look ready to devour her...
ZAP!
With a snap of his fingers... milk, cookies, a Santa hat and a gift appear all around the slumbering child. Which Slenderman places on her chest and on her head, looking annoyed as he does so...or as best as he could look like that without a face...
"These gifts are not from me... but from one from the few people I care about. I don't believe you deserve it... but she would. I hate you, but she would love you. I would see you broken, she would see you get a second chance. I would see you rot in hell, she would see you with her in heaven. Tomorrow, I will break you. Tomorrow, I will torment you. TOMORROW, I will make you suffer. But today... today in the name of HER king and savior... I wish you pleasant dreams..." Slenderman snaps his finger and dancing sugar plumbs fill her dreams...banishing the nightmares and making her smile.
He leaves without a word, disappearing into the shadows of the room. Mable hugs the present to her chest more. With a tag on it revealing who sent Slenderman to deliver the present...
From: Beverly Riebold
To: Mable
Have a happy holiday sweetie, God made you special and he loves you very much. (2)
...
Author's Note:
(1): Yagmer, it's a midsummer holiday of that the monsters of Star's world. They had to stop it for centuries since Solaria would often use the celebration as a chance to ambush monster villages while they were vulnerable. After the merge, it- and other traditions -have been restarted to cheer both monster and people up.
(2) - Dedicated to Beverly Riebold (1933-2019) Rest in peace, your with God now.
...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

While the world slept...
SOMETHING stirred...
Many TV's shimmer with static...
While most of our intrepid hero's are too busy snoozing to see the screen fade to color...

...
Slenderman sits at a desk, and (somehow) smokes a ring out of his cigar...
(Two Minutes Notice - Music starts)
I have wasted time.
I have seen my use.
Slenderman stands up and walks across the set, passing by photos of a dark figure in large hat screaming at him, mocking him, humiliating him, tormenting him, stealing from him...
I packaged and sold every part of me to make you happy!
Suffered what felt like a lifetime of abuse.
Slenderman grabs a bottle of booze to drink... only to find that it's empty.
I have lost myself.
Then he throws it away and falls to his knees toward a green mask with orange eyes.
I have worshiped at your(1) feet.
Then he picks himself back up and gestures toward a strange imp who looks like a sad clown (2)
I just wanted to stand on top of the world with you
Yet you treated me like a bitch to beat.
the curtain closes behind him. Then an upbeat turn begins to play as the initial set is removed from the stage...
I played your game, I'd have let you win it all.
He tosses gold coins around...
Yet you cursed my name
while I let you fuck my doll.
He gestures to hundreds of stories getting date rapped...
But now I've seized the day,
He rolls up his selves and cracks his neck...and spine.
Now I've got one thing left to say-ay-ay,
Fuck you!
Then the stage lights up as pyro effects spell "Fuck You" overhead while it rains 'Pink Slips'.
Here's YOUR two minutes notice, fuck you!
Slenderman hops onto a ball, rolling across the stage, crushing hundreds of Rorschach's, Doctor Membrane's, Dr. Manhattan, Scrooge Mc Ducks and Mandy and bounces it into the air to flip off the madman again, landing on a second ball.
Time for you to leave and smell the roses.
Then he pulls a giant bouquet of nude people out of his shirt and tosses it to the audience.
Say goodbye
A few fans run away to avoid being crushed by the giant bouquet of nudity. Then he leaps off the balls and lands back on the stage with a middle finger raised at the mad hatted man yet again.
While I look you the in eye and say, fuck you!
He goes around exploding various footnote laws that previously forbid him from doing all sorts of crazy, wonderful, FUN things...
Fuckity, fuckity, fuckity fuckity you!
Like creating a vast forest on a small island, allowing people to go nude in a theme park without reason, letting teenagers to act like idiots and overuse their parents credit cards, and forget about forcing beloved characters to act like angsty idiots who will fall apart whenever some loser sees them naked! SCREW YOU FOR MAKING ME DO THAT ASSHOLE!
Fuck you!
Slenderman continues his performance with a light show, displaying more on how Who-who-must-not-be-named had been treating him, smacking him around like a pinata.
I have taken shit.
Then a giant silhouette of Mad man in a hat crushing him under his foot.
Been crushed under your heel.
Then Slednerman is pulled up by wires on his cufflinks, spinning him around until he was disoriented.
I have suffered to give YOU profit
and suckered for YOUR fame
made a fortune you could steal.
Then Slenderman rips the cufflinks off of his wrists and lands back on stage.
I've had enough, I've hit the wall.
Suddenly, he gets a phone call from the mad hatted man (nicknamed as "Master"), calling him a cunt, but he ignores the call and tosses the phone behind him.
I'm tired of taking your calls.
Then Slenderman lights a match and writes "Fuck You" in the air with the flames above him.
It ends today,
Now, there's just one last thing to say-ay-ay,
Fuck you!
Slenderman pulls a flaming baton out of his ass. He then twirls the baton and flips off asshole again. Then he tosses the baton into the air and spins around, ripping off the bottom of his shirt to show off his midriff and poses seductively as he catches the baton with his mouth.
I wish I'd said it sooner, fuck you!
He snatches the money out of the jerks stupid gob, slams it on a table to pay for pizza AND IT WAS FREAKING DELICIOUS!
Cut you off, just like a tumor!
He holds up the flamming baton to burn that stupid green mask and orange eyes in effigy.
Hope you die!
He turns his rear to the camera and pats it as the camera zooms in.
Kiss my ass goodbye, you cuck, fuck you!
Slenderman goes around shooting 'real life' people before jumping into the audience to amp up the crowd.
Have you ever felt sick and tired
of your money being used to make the same shit everyday with your anger brewin'
Eatin' shit from a ungrateful employee that you're sick of obeyin'
If you ever felt the same let me hear ya say it!
[Slenderman jumps back on stage and guides the audience to sing along with him.]
Did you really think I was gonna continue to pay?
Spending life bent over with your fist in my "a".
Slenderman runs up a lit set of steps onto a coffin prop at the top(complete with 'here lies Creativity' tombstone).
Slander me, say I'll just be a joke in this town
Then he stands at the edge and assumes a coffin pose before falling inside.
If I stick around with you I'll be six more feet under the ground!
Then Slenderman springs out of the coffin prop and swings around on trapeze ropes above the stage.
(Fuck you!)
Wo-oh-oh!
Here's YOUR two minute's notice, fuck you!
Suck it, you ungrateful bastard!
You're a fucking, ass clown!
Time to quit and smell the roses!
Say goodbye,
too late to apologize!
While swinging around, Slenderman notices an anthromorphic version of the word 'setting' humping his leg. Then it's head is blown off by a shot by Mopee, from the roof of the stage.
So, this is it
Then Slenderman lands back on the steps, he topples the coffin prop over.
MH***, you sad sack of shit
Fuck yooouuuu!
Then Signs rise behind Slenderman with different ways to say and spell out "Fuck You" along with the audience chanting the words.
You bitch!
Yeah!
Slenderman takes in the applause and wipes off his brow as he goes behind the curtain and set down in a chair to face the audience.

"Run my babies!", pleaded Mable desperately...but ti was all for naught as Slenderman stabbed all her children up with a fork, gobbled them up in front of her...then began to rip her apart and eat her innards...

"Now as much fun as it is to dump on a person you hate, let's be honest. that person will never see my work and even if he did, he wouldn't be bothered by it at all.

"So your probably wondering: Okay...so what was the point of all this then? Well, the POINT is that I saw this Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss song and immediately feel in love with it! Loved the song, loved how much the toxic relationship between Fizz and Mammon spoke to me/reminded me of my own toxic relationship with 'He-who-must-not-be-named'. So i thought...'What the heck? Let's do it!' Honestly I'm AMAZED that people will condemn others simply because they didn't have a better reason then 'it makes me happy' or 'it looks like fun'. I mean...why? If you love to do something, love doing something, have fun while doing it and it's not hurting anyone...then why not do it for JUST that reason? Seriously, Give me one reason why that's a bad thing..."
"Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should ignore other people's input or CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms, they might have great ideas, or some very valid points that could make your story better. But NEVER forget WHY you do what you do. If you change your story so much just because what OTHER people want to the point that i makes you MISERABLE and you flat out HATE it...then what's the point? Never let other people, realism, or whatever get in the way of what YOU want for the story, what makes YOU happy. Especially from those who DEMAND that everything be 100% REALISTIC. I mean for crying out loud this is FANFICTION, we came here to get AWAY from cannon and realism! Again, don't get me wrong. I love Gritty realism, witty satire, and deconstruction fics as much as the next guy... But if it gets tot he point where where it gets in the way of making the story enjoyable, interesting or in a way that your happy with...well, again...then why even do it at all? What's the point? But I digress..."
"Now for those of you who had the misfortune to suffer a similar experience as me? My advice: LIVING YOUR LIFE AND BEING HAPPY is the best way to get back at people like that. Plus as horrible as as that whole part of my life was...much like Joseph found a way to use his slavery to save a nation and become a leader of men...I too have found the small specks of gold in the shit. Thanks to that whole nightmare, I now know even 'hero's' can be jerks, I'm now more assertive and less willing to fall for the the BS of others in some misguided attempt to 'please everyone'(it's NOT possible man, it sucks, but that's just the truth of it), more willing to put my happiness first and most importantly discovered my new favorite character: Mopee! So take heart friends and never stop trying to find Jewels in the Dumpster fire of life..."
"In any case, NEVER stop being true to yourself, NEVER stop being weird, NEVER let yourself be miserable and kick any asshole who tries to make you feel like crap to the curb...Yada, Yadda, PSA Dribble, Drabble, Blah, Blah, blah, whatever- BRING ON THE VIRGIN SACRIFICES!"

First there is nothing...
Then there's a door...
Out of it comes Slenderman with a sigh and a pink slip.
"Well, that happen." Said Slenderman with a shrug as he tore the pink slip in two(1) .
He claps his hands, "Right, reset the stage. Once more form the top with feeling! THIS TIME WE DO IT MY WAY!" He laughs maniacally as the opening song begins...

Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night

A lone purple unicorn walk down an empty hallway. She's been abandon by everypony as they all cared about was a WEDDING. After everything she had done for them they never seem to take her side when it matters.
She stops as she notice the lone mirror up against the wall. She often seen her teacher staring at the mirror with the look of regret and guilt on her face.
She remembers researching about it and finding out it's a portal mirror. For whatever reason she walk up to the mirror and press her hoof against the reflective surface, and gave it a zap of magic to see if she couldn't turn it on...
...Meanwhile ...
On the other side of the mirror, a young woman press her hand against the base of the statue where she first enterd.
She often does it before she enters the school where the statue is located, pressing her hand against the base to make sure the portal was still closed to her.
Soon she would return to her world and make her mother, the only mother she ever knew pay for abandoning her...
...
A ghost child had regained his powers after wanting to rid of them and live a normal life.
His two friends and sister escape from the ghost zone after failing to get help from the ghosts there.
The plan now was to turn the entire planet intangible so the big space rock would just past through it.
Back on Earth, all his sister and friends could talk about was how great he has his powers back.
This hurt him...and he began to wonder if they only cared about him for his powers and without them... he wasn't important to them.
He went ghost and flew into the sky he reached high in the air and gave out a ghostly wail to let it all out, a wail so great it temporarily broke the veil of reality. For all he wanted was a normal life... which even if his plan with the planet works, his friends and sister would still want him ONLY for his powers... even if he didn't want them...
...
A robot girl was left alone to clean up the mess cause by the battle she won.
It seems that no matter what she does, the people of Tremorton would never accept her.
She keeps saving them and they just don't care about her.
Even her mom was quick to replace her when that boy controlled her to wreck the holidays.
Not to mention what she did with her sisters...she wanted so much to free them...but was too scared of what her mom what do to her...besides even if they did escape...where would she hide them? Where would they go? How would she take care of them?
No...it was lose/lose situation all around...
She toss the piece of the Richter scale that was broken during the fight. It struck the portal machine that Queen Vexus used to go back to her home planet, activating the machine...
...
The American dragon could only watch as the girl he loves disappears after he made the wish for the Huntsclan to have never kidnapped her. Creating a new timeline where she never was a member of the Huntsclan.
That's when it hit him, everyone just expects him to give up so much for others while getting little in return.
Because he was the American Dragon... a title that he never wanted...
Having to keep the magical world apart from the non-magical one because the 'Powers that be' believe the humans would only want war. And right now he would give up anything just so he and Rose could be together.
...
A young girl who just revealed herself to her friends and others to save them from the Auntie Roon.
much to her surprise and delight; Instead of freaking out, they all thought it was pretty cool.
But her grandma the previous Te Xuan Ze told her because of a decree placed down by the ruling elders of the magical world. They would need to forget everything, they fear for humanity's warlust too greatly.
With a broken heart; Both she and her grandma step close together as a magical gateway open around them.
With her wishing all the while that she didn't have to do all this and and cursed the old laws that prevented her telling her friends about her adventures.
She just wanted a normal life where she could be a kid...
...
A young man sat in the alien craft that he'd been working on, trying to get it fixed.
Ever since Tak failed to fill the Earth with snacks, he'd been hard at work in getting the ship fix.
"If I can fix this...I'll finally..."
he trails off as he begins to reflect on his life and what he's doing...
'Why am I even doing this, who am doing this for? No one cares about me, no one at all...'
Thinks Dib as he slumps down in defeat...not even noticing when his head slams onto the controls, activating something...
...
A young boy looks through the trashcans for something to help to keep himself warm. He'd been kicked out of his home because his family thinks he's bad luck.
As he thinks to himself... he slowly realizes that his parents care more about his sisters then him.
With all the things his sisters can do and him... just being... He wasn't even thinking when he picked up one of Lisa's machines and press the button on it...
...
A young woman jump in front of the firing energy cannon protecting the mad general who fired it. She used her avatar form to block the energy of the spirit vines that powered the weapon.
She'd been fighting for so long and given so much...all because she's the Avatar.
When it comes down to it; no one will help her because its just how things are 'supposed' to happen, even the spirits refuse to help her when she needed them.
The cannon was effecting the spirit world... but still the spirits refused to help... because once more it was her duty as the avatar to handle everything herself as it was for all the past avatars...because it's her 'destiny'.
But all she wants now is to give it all up and stop being the only one who does anything. She wanted a normal life, without the weight of the world on her shoulders and no one will help her...
...
We come to a man who is obsessed with changing the past so that the hell he's living would never happen...
He had to seek far and wide to find the faceless man who could help him, he then used the last of his life-saving to get the bomb his late uncle made to kill or at least keep the dream demon from ever appearing back to Earth.
The time trip worked as he appeared right before it happen. Where she cared more about herself then others...a sad truth that he couldn't see till he was trapped and had wasted most of his life for HER.
He tossed the active bomb just as she was handing the snow globe to the demon who's using the time agent as a meat puppet.
He saw her turn to look at him... her eyes widen as she sees his face...perhaps even recognition?
Well it hardly mattered in any case...the bomb he just threw at her had ripped open a hole in time and space. Making sure the piece of the portal would be gone for good...true...he along with HER, the demon, the time agent, and him would perish as well.
But if it meant his past self never had to live his life...it would be all worth it...
...
A young man on a skateboard screamed as the portal he's been racing to, exploded in a big flash of light.
He cried thinking he lost his chance to be with Star.
Then as he stared into the sky dragons with bike wheels for legs flew past.
He sat up and saw Star there on the other side where the portal had been. All around the two; people and places have been merged together.
With lots of confusion happening because of the sudden change. From creatures of legend becoming real- like the unicorn running by, followed by a car -To a helicopter turning to avoid crashing into the sky kingdom of the ponyheads. But neither teen cared about that right now... all that matters to them right now was each other.
"Hi," Marco said to Star.
"Hi," Star answers back.
But little did they know... thanks to similar events happening that very moment. Caused so much more then just their worlds merged together. The fates and destinies of countless other universes had been entwined as well...
...for all across the NEW world ...
Twilight blinked as she rush outside to see strange monkey like creatures in Canterlot that looks to be merged with another city...
...
Sunset blinked as she suddenly was standing in front of Canterlot Castle that's been combined with the school. Ponies and humans are all in shock seeing each other...
...
Danny Phantom stared down at the changed world below him...only being distracted by the sight of the Disasteroid having been 'shifted' away from it at the last second...
...
XJ9 activated her scanners and weapons as suddenly strange creatures suddenly appeared but they all look as confused of her as they are to her...
...
Jack Long blinked as the portal stop pulling Rose into it and he caught her before she hit the roof.
Both of them looked at each other before they turned to see the entire city in a panic as the magical creatures and humans could now see each other. In addition; new and strange buildings had just appeared out of nowhere.
...
Juniper Lee blinked as the magic just shut off, leaving her grandma just as confused.
Hearing something happening outside she ran outside and stop seeing the change city before her. The others in the mall had followed and stop as well seeing the change landscape and the magical creatures that could now be seen by everyone...
...
Dib Membrane blinked as suddenly there was a house in front of him where there wasn't one before. He also saw a white haired boy with his hands in a trashcan and holding what looks like a remote in his hands...
Lincoln Loud stared back at the boy with glasses around his age sitting inside what looks to be a spaceship...
...
Korra blinked as she and Kuvira look around. The cannon stop firing but the entire city suddenly changed around them. There are strange creatures and buildings around them.
There were people too but they all dressed and looked different from anyone they seen from the four nations...
...
Dipper Pines woke up in a cold sweat after having that nightmare. It seem so real to him and... why would he do that and who was that faceless man?
He headed for the bathroom but was stop as his sister Mabel grab him and pulled him outside where their parents were also there staring at something.
Dipper blink then rubbed his eyes and saw their neighborhood was suddenly in a city they never seen before and there are strange creatures here and there.
Not to mention there's two women in the middle of a crater in a strange forest right in front of them. His dream was quickly forgotten as he takes in the new world he and his family suddenly found themselves in...
…III...
TO BE CONTINUED?
....III.....
(1): Right, I went back and forth on this, did a LOT of soul-searching...as a Christian I want to 'turn the other cheek and forgive my enemies'...but I just can't live with myself if someone else goes through the nightmare I went to...so LORD...if this is a mistake, FORGIVE me...
Look, while I do recommend reading his stuff- credit where credit is due, he's good -but that being said...NEVER give him a commission, it's a nightmare, you'll end up with something you hate, money wasted..and a DEATH threat.
Let me tell you what happened: for years madhat886 was one of my favorite authors. He amazed me with his deconstructive gritty takes on my favorite shows and tropes...
So, when I finally got enough money...I asked for a commission...
At first things went good...
But then things started to turn sour...he started removing things from the story- without talking to me about it(he removed entire segments, he even killed off some of my favorite characters. AGAIN , without consulting me!) -he began to argue and bicker with me over EVERY LITTLE THING. Everything had to be 100% realistic, there was no wiggle room with this guy!
The man was a total control freak, everything had to be according to his whim, nothing could go against what HE wanted, even if I HATED it! I was PAYING for all this and yet he tried to force what he wanted on everything!
And he contradicted himself, once he refused to kill off Mina because he planned to redeem her like 'the good Joker arc'...then later he said 'no I'm not going to redeem her, that would be as bad as redeeming Vegeta!' ...what?! Just...WHAT?!
I kept trying to compromise, play along, offered more pay incentives for him to actually do his job...
Then finally...it all ended with a death threat he sent to me...
I reported it, blocked him, told him to delete my story and told him not to contact me again...
The kicker is at the end, he told me he didn't want money he just wanted to finish the story!
...he has a P ATREON account! If you don't want money, don't ask for money!
And that's the story...
Believe this, or don't...I leave that to you. But that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

...opening song...
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night In the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl where will you go I'm going where the cold wind blows In the pines, in the pines where the sun don't ever shine I will shiver the whole night through
Hey girl, hey girl don't lie to me tell me where did you sleep last night

Star looked around her at the old castle that she grew up in. Everything looked the same but it was off like something was changed but she couldn't see what was changed about her surroundings. And there was her mother.
Moon was still herself, but she was all distorted when Star tried looking at her. And in the background was this tall man with a blank face... just standing there...
"I don't work for Mina...she works for me...," Moon said in a distorted voice.
"Music Maestro...," the blank face man said. Causing music to play around Star as the world around her warp.
...(Song starts...Demons by Starset )...
A naked and terrified Star found herself running through the wilderness...
Mayday, mayday, the ship is slowly sinking They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling They're all around me circling like vultures They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Mina's giant minion's chased after her, all the while watching all her hard work: helping Eclipsa, helping the monsters and trying to do what was right for Mewni-
Wash away my colors!
-get blown to bits...
Take me high and I'll sing Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay) We are one and the same Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away) Save me if I become...
And then they were there...
my demons!
And then they were there...
I cannot stop this sickness taking over
Quirky guy...
It takes control-
Kelly...
-and drags me into nowhere
Talon Raventalon...
I need your help
Tom...
I can't fight this forever
Her daughter...
I know you're watching
I can feel you out there
Spider with a top hat...
I can feel you out there
Buff frog and his children...
Take me high and I'll sing Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay) We are one and the same Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away) Save me if I become my demons
So many screaming in agony, dying horribly; yelling things like: 'Why did your mom kill us, Star?'
Take me over the walls below Fly forever, don't let me go I need a savior to heal my pain When I become my worst enemy The enemy
'Why did you kill us Star?' yelled others!
Take me high and I'll sing You make everything okay We are one and the same You take all of the pain away
Star suddenly finds herself surrounded by everyone who was displaced by the merge... all accusing her of ruining their lives because of the merge.
Take me high and I'll sing Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay) We are one and the same Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away) Save me if I become my demons
Star breaks down sobbing and pleading how sorry she is...
Take me high and I'll sing Oh, you make everything (my demons) okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay, my demons) We are one and the same Oh, you take all of the pain (my demons) away, away, away (away, away, away, my demons) Save me if I become-
Then she looks up just in time to see a Solarian guard bring his boot down to crush her-
-my demons!
...(song end)...
"-Star wake up!" Marco shouted as he shakes her awake.
Star wakes up in a cold sweat from the nightmare she keeps on having. The night terrors have been causing her to lose lots of sleep and had been happening to her for months on end. They come and go, but always return with Star waking up screaming.
"Star you need to have Princess Luna help you with these nightmares," said Marco deeply worried .
"No, I don't need her help, I'm fine," Star dismisses stubbornly.
"Star, from what you told me about your nightmares-
"I'm fine," Star said firmly.
"Star is everything okay?" Moon asked behind the door.
"Yes mom," Said Star, quickly cutting off Marco before he could say anything else.
"That's good. Get dressed and come down, I made breakfast and we need to start early if we're going to do the activities you have plan for us."
"You heard her, we need to get ready,"Said Star as she ran from the room before Marco could stop her.
Marco sighed in resignation...but obeyed...what else could he do?
Star hastily gets her things while repeating an internal mantra over and over again...
"I'm happy, everyone is happy, I love my mom, my mom loves me. I have completely forgiven her! We all make mistakes and I love her! I have a good life, good family, good boyfriend, good friends. We are ALL happy! I am happy! I am happy! And it doesn't matter anyway; I never have to deal with kingdoms, betrayal and Mina ever again!"
...
A door burst open as Mina was thrown outside of a shack, the year hasn't been good to her. Without magic, her age has caught up with her. Turning her into a hideous, withered crone. She's still is able to move around but soon her body will fail her...
"Come on! I hate monsters, you hate monsters! And it's not like your picky for new members! There's only five of you for crying out loud!" Mina shouted exasperated.
"Were desperate, but were not that desperate! Do you realize it is mainly due to you and your little 'stunt' that freaks and abominations are being accepted? That Rabble rousers like that half-breed chink Jake Long spewing that 'equal rights' gobbledey-gook are so popular? That respectable civil servants like me and the other Founders are ignored and ostracized?" Exclaimed the man known as Henry Saltonstall; who was once a high-ranking politician in Columbia before the Merge struck it out of the sky.
"What? What are you talking about? I-
"You lead an army to publicly massacre a civilian population! What the blue blazes where you thinking?! Stupid dag-nabbed teens and their new-fangled gadgets caught so many examples of you and your army murdering monster children, Mewman children, Mewamn civilians, Mewman house pets! You name it, you killed it and they got to serve a heaping helping of golden propaganda fodder for the 'equality movement' to plaster around for every Tom, Dick and Harry to gawk at!"
"Those traitors deserved it! Living with the monsters-
"You idiot! Only half of the Mewmans still living in the capital actually liked those freaks! The rest tolerated them at best! The minority you had in Moon's little 'town' were just the most radical! Your actions did nothing but traumatize, enrage and unite both sides against something they mutually hated more then each other! YOU! Congratulations 'Monster Slayer' you single handily ended centuries of Mewman and monster animosity!" Saltonstall spits out infuriated.
"What? No... That, that can't, I didn't..." Mina babbled looking lost.
"Speaking of your 'followers', where are they?," he asks in a sarcastic, rhetorical way.
"Well, uh, you see..." Mina stuttered.
"I'll tell you where they are! Psychologically broken both from the trauma of mega-magic twisting their minds and you ordering them to murder their fellow Mewmans! An entire batch of potential recruits turned against you and to a lesser extent anyone who agrees with your ideas! AKA US! The few that WEREN'T sent to asylums are now the 'civil rights' movements greatest supporters! Their first hand accounts on the 'horror's of racism and their consequences' have already yielded some kraut documentary filmmakers a dozen or so Emmy's and Oscars! We can't top that!" Saltonstall was practically, spitting fire at this point. He'd a lot of rage built up after watching his beloved city and livelihood go to shit...so it was nice to be able to vent for once...
"Well, I mean... Sure, when you say it like that it sounds terrible..." Said Mina trying to downplay it...and failing miserably...
"Say, didn't you have someone dumb enough to still stand with you? Manfred something or other? Where is he?" Asked one of the few remaining 'founders', while peeking from a window.
"Uh...well...no one would give me shelter or food... and Manfred was just useless... so... I may have sorta... accidentally... ate him?" A nervous Mina said while sweating...
There was a long, awkward silence...
"Get the frak out of Uselessville before I change my mind that getting the bounty on your head is less important then the risk of further being associated with you!" Saltonstall growled out.
Meanwhile, Charles politely leads a young girl name Amanda out of the same shack.
"Sorry little lady, we'd like to have you... But the child labor union has been watching us like a hawk and we just can't afford another scandal right now...," Charles explained politely.
"Ah, what a gip...," Amanda groaned.
Amanda's town- Muckledunk -was full of incompetent adults. Just like most of the other cities that came through the merge...
But surprisingly, this city fared better then most of the others. This was mainly due to the adults there being mostly kind and compassionate people who happily embraced non-humans with open arms. This plus they're already large monster population has made them a very popular non-human tourist destination.
Amanda, was the only one who really hated the monsters. Using her family's wealth, she constantly tried to ban monsters from the city which always failed and backfired on her... but after the merge, her family's fortune became worthless.
Between that and how unlikable she was, she quickly ended up the most hated person in her city and was soon kicked out.
Both she and Mina ended up in one of the many 'Uselessville's' that now dotted the world. which were similar to the ancient 'Hooverville' Shanty towns of the great depression. Except instead of mostly poor you instead had the useless adults from other worlds. They lost everything and ended up here as there was no other place to go...
Here their stupidity was no longer praised or tolerated and no one else wanted them. As a dejected Mina and Amanda wandered about, they happened to see many familiar faces...
Many adults from Dimsdale ended up living here after losing their jobs and kids.
The fact they left their kids in the care of VICKY- never caring about how much proof that they showed of her abusing them, only caring more about their own happiness then theirs -usually caused their own lawyer to give up on the cases then and there.
Both of them walked past a very filthy looking FORMER banker named Mr. Poe.
"Hmmm...Count Olaf." He holds up one picture. "Count Olaf wearing a fake mustache." He takes a good look at both, clearly in deep thought... before throwing them up in the air in exasperated defeat.
"Oh, blast it all! What's wrong with me? They still BOTH look like completely different people!" Mr. Poe said as he puts his face in his hands and groans in despair. "The kids were right... I am bloody useless..."
He wasn't alone as Mr. Lancer- former teacher at Casper High -was there as well. After having his face, car and home destroyed, he'd lost his job too.
There are also plenty of Skyway Patrol and other types of cops that came through the merge. They're here because there incompetence had gotten them banned from ever having any sort of LEGAL authority ever again...or even to hold a butter knife for that matter...
Their was also the idiot parents from the Goosebump books who refused to believe that their children were in danger and kept nearly getting them all killed...like the one's who psychologically tortured their kids-turned-chicken by EATING chicken in front of them...or the parents who forcibly sent their kids to school despite one being as fat as a blimp and the other thinner then a photo negative thanks to a curse...
Suddenly an armored car with a government official shows up. The man and the woman got out of the car and the man grab a megaphone from the car. And began speaking into it to gather as many people as possible.
"Alright, listen up you parasites! Times are tight and your sucking up taxpayer money by being too stupid to find work! Not cool! So the military is forming the 'Redshirt army'! You'll get pay, food, a roof over your head and all that is asked of you is that you sign away your rights and become cannon fodder soldiers, bait for giant monsters and test subjects! The president's lawyer, Legal Lee -who unlike other displaced and far more sucky lawyers he was able to convince the bar exam that his license was still valid... AND got 5,000$ in a wrongful termination of license suite -has already smoothed it over, now who wants to sign up!?" Shouted the former Saint turned government official...
Everyone in the area rushes over excited. Except for Mina and Amanda- the former has a price on her had and the later REALLY didn't want to take the risk that she'd be forced to go back home where an angry mob no doubt waits - they keep walking, until the reach the government aide buildings where the food and other supplies are kept. There people are already lined up for the watered down and tasteless food that's cheap and brought in bulk. Then there are the shelters which are full with a long wait list, all paid with most minimal amount of tax payer money they can get way with.
While they waited in line for some food they overhear some guards talking how they needed to move a magical object that was recovered from a recent raid to Gravity Falls. Mina didn't care about what they were saying till one of the guards asked whatever happened to that princess who caused the merge. this prompts one of the guards to reveal that she's also staying at Gravity Falls.
"Star! This whole mess is her fault!... we'll I'll show her!" Mina said as she turns to Amanda. "Hey little sister, would you like to strike a blow for all monster slayers everywhere?"
Amanda just looks at her weird...but beggars can't be choosers...right? "If I say yes, will you get me food?" She asked finally...
Mina takes this as a yes, grabs her and stows away on the truck headed for Gravity Falls.

...
The last couple of days had been crazy for Twilight since she returned to Canterlot. The first thing that Twilight did was to reassure her parents that she was fine...
...
"I'm sorry for freaking you out, but after the 'wedding' and the 'merge'...I was- among other things -No longer bound by the restrictions of our past world...well I found myself thinking all these new things: Why are we friends? Should I really be friends with ponies who treat me so poorly? Why do I keep obeying Celestia without question when lives are at stake and her methods so needlessly convoluted? Why dose our whole society revolve around-" Twilight shakes her head as she trails off, "Sorry, I'm rambling. Long story short: I freaked out and I just needed to be alone for awhile to rethink my life..."
Twilight Velvet sighed, "Well, I suppose that's understandable, we were ALL freaking out that day. And YOU were at the center of it. Were not happy how you handled this and wish you'd at least kept some form of contact with us to at least make sure you were alive and safe...but what's done is done. The important thing is that your here now." She said with a smile...
"And now you can come back to Canterlot and we can be a family again!" Exclaimed Night Light excited
Twilight winched, "Right, about that..."
...
She explained how she wouldn't be living in Canterlot again- too many bad memories and she just wasn't ready to face her former friends and mentor again - and would instead be continuing to live with the beavers.
They'd become like family to her... well THAT and she still needed her sessions with Stump.
Although Disappointed, her parents understood she needed to do what was best for HER and vowed to support her all the way.
Thus both halves of her now extended family would endeavor to get to know each other for Twilight's sake...
...
WOO-HOO!
Shouted Twilight Velvet and Mrs. Beaver as they went over the waterfall in just a barrel...
...
Which actually wasn't that difficult, but I digress...
...
ANYWAY, Twilight would also go visit Dipper and Wendy at the shack- she tried to also visit Pacifica, but her dad had her locked up tight after the kidnapping -Both Daggett and Norbert would come with her as they enjoy the shack's stuff, while Twilight enjoys figuring out how the strange objects worked.
The REAL stuff mind you- Not the stuff made up by Stan, like the hampire which is just a piece of ham with fake vampire fangs on it...
It also gave her a chance to pursue... 'other' subjects matters she'd become interested in...
...
Dipper whimpered in pain, as he was once more forced to torture himself. Everyone laughed at his teeny weeny...but few people got the unfortunate implications of such a 'defect'.
Not only was he forced pee to standing up and lean forward and at a 45 degree angle whenever he used the toilet...BU IT HURT LIKE CRAP!
Seriously, forcing out all that urine out of such a tiny hole? IT BURNT! There were times that Dipper had literally popped a blood vessel and peed blood from the effort!
It was HELL...
He was so busy sobbing...he never noticed he had an AUDIENCE...
'Day 10 of my observations of obstacles faced with one who has minuscule human MALE genitalia...' Thinks Twilight to herself as she secretly recorded and wrote down everything...her scientific desires eager to learn more with an almost morbid fascination...
The fact her new friend and his 'tic-tac' was 'cute' when nude was just a bonus!
OH! And she would of course use this research to help ease his pain! That...that was the priority... obviously...(nervous cough)...
...
Much to her surprise, Sunset personally came over to see her after hearing about her return. They talked and bounded over being hurt by those they loved...well, mostly Celestia, really.
After making sure she was being taken care of, Sunset also made sure that Celestia doesn't have any say in anything in regards to Twilight by placing a restraining order on her.
When Celestia confronted Sunset about this, Sunset replied that she had her chance to do right by her and blew it...AGAIN.
Twilight has the help she needs now and even made some REAL friends while doing so...And quite frankly they didn't trust Celestia to not ruin it all with her 'help'.
They didn't want or need her help and she could either accept that or get lost...
Not too long after that, there was ANOTHER issue in regard to her former friends. Having learned of her return, They all wanted to talk with Twilight and rebuild their friendship/ herd...
Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were the first to show up... but they were turned all away by Daggett and Norbert.
When they tried to persist, they were berated by Stump who- YET again -explained why they ruined their friendship with Twilight and why they had no one to blame for that but themselves. Which sent them away in tears...
Then came Applejack and Rainbow Dash who were more forceful. They flat out threatened to smash the dam to bits if they weren't let in to see Twilight. When Stump stood in their way the two laughed him off...
After waiting patiently for Stump to give them a thrashing, Daggett and Norbert called the police on them...
That got them in trouble with Sunset, she was so furious she had Rainbow kicked out of the Wonderbolts. In addition to that, she's going to make them do community service.
Rainbow's now forced to work as a show pony, entertaining the children in the section of the casino meant for them while their parents enjoyed themselves.
Applejack on the other hand was already having problems with her farm and her being arrested just made things worse. But unlike Rainbow, this actually lead to some good news. For her arrest allowed Applebloom the opportunity she needed to make her move to save her family's farm...
...
"Dang it Applejack! This was the last thing we needed right now!" Shouted Granny Smith irritably to an incarcerated Applejack.
"But Granny it was Twilight! I have to fix things with her!"
Big Mac just hung his head silently in shame...thinking desperately on how things had gone so wrong for his family...
"Look I admit the bail might set us back a bit, but we still got a couple of weeks left before they foreclose on our farm-
"No we don't! Thanks to your arrest, they're foreclosing tonight!"
Applejack looks like she'd been physically slapped as she gaped at her elder... "WHAT?! THEY CAN'T DO THAT!"
"Apparently they can! Something about a...morality clause? Force...Majeure something or other?" She sighs and shakes her head, "There was a lot of legal jargon I didn't get...BOTTOM LINE: Your getting arrested was all the justification the bank needed to speed up the foreclosure to tonight...in other words...WERE SCREWED!"
Applejack's heart raced, she began to feel faint as her world seemed to literally crumbled around her. "No...that's...that ain't right! That ain't right at all! Quick! Pay my bail! Maybe I can-
"Do what?! Even if we had the money to pay your bail- WHICH WE DON'T! -we've already tried everything! And no lawyer will help us since- again -WE HAVE NO MONEY! But more importantly, they know Princess Sunset wants this to happen! No one we could afford is crazy enough to go against that spitfire!"
"Speak of the devil and she'll appear." Said a smug voice behind them.
They turned around to see a smug looking Sunset, Applebloom...and ed boys?(1) "
Applejack glared, "What are yah'll doing here?! You-
ZAP!
"Nope, for once your going to shut up and listen." Said Sunset as she activated the 'muzzle' spell inscribed in the jail cell.
While Applejack frantically tried to get her mouth to work again, Sunset turned back to the rest of the Apple clan.
"Right I'm just going to be blunt about this: in several hours I'll be legally allowed to take your farm and evict you. I know for a fact you don't have enough money to pay for bail forget about the farm! Your only hope is Applebloom here." She points to the smirking Applebloom.
"Applebloom?" Asked Big Mac, talking for the first time since he came into the room.
"Yes, Applebloom has organized the Ed's and various other parties to approached me with a plan on how to turn your farm's fortune's around...and I liked it." Confessed Sunset with a shrug.
"Really?" Asked Granny Smith, echoing the shock of the rest of the Apple clan.
"Yep, her plan is perfect for not only making your farm profitable again but to make MORE then enough money to justify me giving you a loan to cover your debts and most of your business expenses."
"So...the farm is saved?" Asked Big Mac as he looked toward Applebloom amazed...only to feel a deep sting in his heart when she refused to look him in the eye...
Sunset nods, "Yep- she then slams a contract on a nearby desk -provided you immediately sign over all rights and ownership immediately to Applebloom here..." She says flatly.
"WHAT?!" Exclaimed Granny while Applejack was stopped from doing likewise.
"Yeah, move over ponies! Were large and in charge!" Bragged Eddy.(1)
"If apple's keep a doctor away, can a carrot keep away a gynocologist?" Asked Ed as everyone looked at him baffled.
"Uh...I'm TERRIBLY sorry about all this, but I promise we WILL save your farm." Bows an apologetic Edd.
Sunset rolls her eyes at Edd's remark but nevertheless pushes the contract forward on the desk toward them..."Yes, well, anyway, so if you could all just sign this we can be on our way."
"B-b-ut she's just a little filly!" Exclaimed Granny in disbelief.
"I know, which makes it all the more sad she has more common sense then most adults I know." Snarked Sunset with a shrug.
Applejack- although unable to speak -was still able to make it very clear that she was refusing to sign ANYTHING.
Granny Smith just looked conflicted, "I, That's, your really, it's all, sweet mercy, your throwing so much at us here out of the blue! We need time to think about this-
And that's when Sunset decided she had enough, some people might think of her as a bitch now. But she preferred to think of it as 'tough love'. Sometimes the thing a person needs the most...is a good kick in the plot. Someone doing that to HER certainly would've made her early life more easier if nothing else...
In any case...
"Right, look, I'm a very busy woman. I have literally an entire KINGDOM to keep from falling apart. So let me be blunt: Neither Applejack nor you are illegible to make decisions here- "WHAT!?" -She's currently 'technically' a convict and it was easy for my lawyers to declare you mentally infirm 'enough'- EXCUSE ME?! -so only Big Mac actually needs to sign!" She gears up her now seemingly trademark 'reason you suck speech' as she turns around to lay into the big Stallion...Only for it die on her lips as what saw stopped her dead in her tracks.
Big Mac had ALREADY signed the contract...and was holding it to an equally stunned Applebloom...
"Big Mac?" Asked the youngest Apple in surprised disbelief.
Big Mac sighed, "I'm sorry Applebloom. I may not have joined the rest of the family in shutting you out, but I didn't STOP it either. I rationalized that I just didn't want to get involved and escalate things...but the truth was I was just being a COWARD..."
While everyone watched this little drama...the Ed's quietly made their way out of the room...for all their faults...they know that this was a PRIVATE moment...
"I was scared of everything that was happening, being trapped in a new world, where nothing I thought was right worked anymore. I didn't know how to cope and it's painfully obvious everyone else in the family don't know what the hay they're doing either..." The stallion then gains a look of resolve, "But YOU DO. You've taken to this world like a duck to water, you've made friends who can help you but more importantly you can help us if we just LET you." Big Mac then hands the contract to the equally stunned Sunset before looking back at her little sister, "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. But I promise I will be now, if I can't take a leap of faith for my own kin...then who can I?"
"...Big Mac..." Applebloom tears up as she reaches over to hug him...
Having caught the tail end of it, the ed's can't help but 'Awwww' at the sight before leaving the room...
"PSST! Hey, Sockhead! Level with me? Is it a good thing or bad thing we never used to get so 'real' back at our old world?" Whispered Eddy genuinely curious.
Edd looked to say something...then looks baffled..."Uh...I'll have to get back to you on that..." He admits thoughtfully as they head down the hall...
Sunset looks at all this...it was all so touching...such a happy reconciliation between estranged family members...she wondered if- a flash of a certain Alicorn went through her head -but she quickly shook it off.
'No! Don't even go there...that is completely different! She had her chance and blew it! I have my own life now...' She thinks to herself...she then notices Applejack angrily trying to speak...and smirks... 'Speaking of which...'
She saunters over, "Oh, don't worry about the bail. In addition to everything else, that contract also immediately enrolled you in a new work release program I just cooked up...as long as you behave yourself, and OBEY your YOUNGER sibling...you'll have paid it off in a couple months or so..."
Applejack groaned...but resigned herself...she didn't like it...but apparently she had no choice... but it was basically just working on the farm- more or less -so maybe it wouldn't be so bad?
"Oh, and you'll also be working under your sisters new business partners, come on in boys!"
Applejack went deathly pale, 'Oh, buck me.' She groaned...
"Well hello new UNPAID INTERN", Said Flam with a laugh.
His brother Flim smirked, "Oh, brother I think this is the start of something beautiful..."
Leaving the Cowgirl to her fate, Sunset goes to her next appointment...the 'trial' of the parents of the remained of the CMC...
...
One of the results of said 'trial' was that the CMC's parents would be spending more time with them...as would many other families...
Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles- Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents -aren't able to travel as much as they like anymore, thanks to all the changes caused by the merge. Both of them are now working at the casinos and spending time with their kids now, instead of just having Rarity take care of her sister all of the time.
Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood- Scootaloo's parents -on the other hand had to face charges of parental abandonment. Between them both world traveling adventurers who study exotic plants and creatures for the advancement of science and medicine, they barely spent any time with their daughter. The charges were only dropped after they talked with Sunset who gave them jobs at one of the resorts, nor are they allowed to just spend years away from home. Sunset made it clear that the only reason why they weren't being sent to jail was that they at least made sure Aunt Holiday and Auntie Lofty were looking after Scootaloo.
But that doesn't change the fact that They needed to start thinking about their child rather then their own needs...
Sunset brought up the case of a young Japanese man name Setani (2) as an example: he had been abandon by his parents after they left to take care of children in another country. After the merge the bank they had their savings in went belly up- Which happen a lot around the world after the merge happen, thanks to largely how many of the bank's in some worlds were just ran poorly - home they were running lost all of it's funding and was taken over by the government. They were then both sent home.
Where they found that their son was now living with Mai- a student of a Santa Claus Academy in her world -and now works as a Santa for the Japan Santa branch.
At first they were happy he found such a rewarding and altruistic career...but then were completely shocked when their son flat out told them he wanted nothing to do with them and would do nothing to help them. Leaving them to fend for themselves.
At first people were sympathetic and demanded he have mercy...so Setani made an interview explaining how they cared more about other children then their own son. Never caring or treating him like they did the others. Heck, the only present they ever sent him was a picture of them happily playing with all the other kids. This caused many people to take Setani's side and his parents were soon forced to flee the country in shame, NEVER to return.
And that was just a small piece of the clusterfuck Japan had become. This was due to so many neglectful or abusive parents enabling their children into doing dangerous things like fighting, drugs, using robots to shoot at each other, steal people's souls with cards, etc... This has lead to many parents being jailed and losing custody. (3)
Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood weren't the only ponies in trouble because of how they raised their children.
By pony standards it's apparently okay to leave their children in the care of others for years, spend a huge amount of time away from them, and even letting them live far away to make a living for themselves.
Like the Earth pony Cheese Sandwich who was allowed to leave his hometown and live on the road as a young foal.
Needless to say Sunset quickly fought to make laws that prevented things like that from happening again...or at least she's been TRYING to do that...but some 'people' were blocking her...and she had a suspicion or two about WHO and WHY...
...
ARMACHAM EXECUTIVES CAUGHT IN SEX SCANDAL WITH UNDERAGE MINOR!
GENEVIEVE ARISTIDE ARRESTED!
ARMACHAM STOCK TANKS!
NORTHWEST LAWSUIT PENDING!
Pacifica sighs as she reads the headline...
RING!
She shudders in pain at the sound of the BELL...but not having a choice, she goes to her father to learn of her next 'social call'...
...
Then Candance showed up, Twilight was so happy to see her! Both of them were overjoyed to be reunited-
...
"Sunshine sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"
Twilight joyfully reunited with her old foalsitter as they did their standard friendship 'dance'...
Completely Oblivious the affect it was having on all the MALES in the nearby vicinity...
'Stupid Sexy Twilight.' Thinks a flustered Dipper to himself as he tries to ignore his new best friends sexy, naked, purple plot shaking round in the air not too far away from his face...
The alicorn of LOVE... suddenly smirked evilly...
"Hey, Twilight. I have NEW version of the dance, want to try it out?" She asked with a very smug, amused look...
A still obvious Twilight happily agreed, despite the tortured- yet aroused - expression of her current best friend...
Poor Dipper's ensuing boner was so erratic, he was worried he'd have to put it in a sling...
...
Candace thank the beavers, and Stump for being there for her when she ran off. She also thank Dipper and Wendy for helping Twilight to stop hiding from her past and face it instead.
Shining Armor wanted to see Twilight too, but Candance forbids it along with his parents. Their relationship has been on the rocks since she was released from the catacombs and learned how poorly he'd treated Twilight. The fact that Shining had also slept with Chrysalis while disguised as her did NOT help matters...
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that- among other things -he'd been influenced by magic, she'd have left him for good...
Nevertheless, those kinds of things were hard to forgive even in the best of circumstances- which thanks to the PTSD Candance had gotten from the whole experience, it most certainly was NOT -Thus they'd called off the wedding and were currently in the middle of relationship counseling(among other things).
Then there was Spike...
He'd been a mess since Twilight ran away. Without Twilight- the closest thing he'd ever had to a mom - to give him self worth, Spike had fallen into a deep depression. Celestia had TRIED taking care of him, but like many others Spike had blamed her for what happened and wasn't having any of it!
So Sunset stepped in and sent him to a psychiatrist to help him with his issues. She also got him a job at one of the resorts which is run by dragons from many different worlds...
So when he heard that Twilight was back, he was proud to say he FLEW after her...
...
CRASH!
When a large purple and green blur swooped in from the sky and tackled her, Twilight naturally panicked and screamed for help.
But her yelps paused when she felt something wet on her face...was that tears?
"TWILIGHT! I'M SO SORRY!", The blur sobbed...
Twilight's eye's widened... "Spike?" She exclaimed in disbelief.
Spike was now twice her size, wings and was BUFF?!
...he was also wearing a rather filthy looking loincloth?
"Spike?!" She exclaimed again as she jumped out of his grasp. "HOW, WHO, WHAT!?" She exclaimed bewildered.
Spike chuckled, "Yeah...I...among other things, I had a 'growth spurt'...it's kinda complicated..."
"Well tell me all bout it! I..I missed you." Said Twilight sincerely to her adopted son, but then she frowns. "But first get ride of that ratty thing, it's VERY distracting." She said as she quickly reached over to rip off the loincloth-
"Wait, don't-
RIP!
Twilight went green, "So...when you said you had a GROWTH SPURT..." She practically gagged at the sight of her son's now exposed GIANT cock as a now mortified Spike frantically tried to cover it
...
So as it turns out, Spike had genitals the whole time...they were just too malnourished and tiny for anyone to SEE(without a microscope)...he never said anything as he'd been too embarrassed- I mean, who wouldn't be?
This -among other reasons -was why that one of the first things the other dragons did for him was to immediately send him to a hospital to be checked out! As they were quick to point out: his stunted, diminutive size was not healthy for a dragon his age. The fact he hadn't already grown wings YEARS ago was especially concerning!
Turns out Spike was malnourished due to the pony/herbivore style diet that he'd been forced to eat since birth.
While eating Gems were important too- and probably the reason why he hadn't starved or lost his fire/magic years ago -it was MEAT that a growing carnivore needed the majority of to grow big, strong and healthy.
So he was forced to undergo numerous physical therapies, diet regiment and other health projects to reverse his various 'defects'.
Once she got over her disgust and embarrassment, Twilight felt horrible for how she's inadvertently ruined Spike's health and apologized profusely...
Spike forgave her... after all it wasn't her fault no ponies knew how to take care of dragons... if anything this made how well she HAD raised him- since filly school no less! -all the more impressive!
Spike would then also tearfully apologized for not standing with her during the wedding.
"Everyone was yelling...it was confusing...then everyone just decided you were in the wrong...and you didn't seem to disagree...so I just went along with them?" HE groaned in resigned defeat, "I'm sorry Twilight, I don't know what I was thinking..."
Twilight forgave Spike seeing how he's still just a child(well, mentally anyway...), but sadly he couldn't be her assistant anymore. Her sessions with Stump had really helped her explore the relationships in her life with greater clarity...
"I'm sorry Spike, but apparently there is such a thing as 'loving someone too much', while I won't cut you out of my life completely...what we had wasn't healthy!For your own good, you need to have your OWN life, SEPARATE from me..."
If they'd been paying attention...they'd notice the world around them briefly...'s̴̼̅h̵̜͗i̵̯̚f̵̛̤t̶̮̽'...?

-Spike understood. He wasn't sure W̷̖̍H̶̹̄Y̵̻̿, but he understood and agreed with her completely...
Q̵u̴i̷c̷k̶l̷y̷ ̶m̶o̶ving on, Twilight promptly asked the elephant in the room...
"I'm sorry, I gotta ask...Why the loincloth?"
Spike groaned, "All my other clothes were destroyed by 'accident'...I'm pretty sure Ember and Smolder are conspiring to get me to just go 'au natural'...
Twilight smirked at the sound of the GIRL names, "Oh? Has some found their 'special SomePo- DRAGON'." She corrected quickly while still repressing the urge to 'squee'...
Spike went very red as his surrogate mother was quick to demand details...
...
The Butterfly party were currently at to partake in Star's father survival training in the woods: which means no shelter, food, or clothes...much to their embarrassment-
HI-YAH!
Screamed a naked Star as she karate chopped multiple dummies as she ran through an obstacle course...
-Well to MARCO'S embarrassment in any case...
"Uh...sir?" Marco asks as he awkwardly covering himself, slowly slinks shuffles forward while also trying to not stare at River's nudity.
"Please, call me River! You've more then earned that my boy!" River said as he gives him a whack on the back for emphasis that almost knocks him over.
while trying to ignore the pain in his spine, Marco began again. "Uh,okay...Anyway, so I was just wondering..."
"Ah! Say no more my, boy! I know some people who can discretely hook you up with elixirs to make your tiny dong grow to at least average!"
"WHAT?!" Screams a flustered Marco. "NO! That wasn't what I was going to ask! And- not that it's ANY of your business! -for the record I'm a GROWER, not a shower!" He defends indignantly.
River gives him a once over, "OOOOOOOOOKAY, if you say so." Said River as he tried- and failed miserably -to keep the rampant skepticism from his voice.
Marco's eye twitched as his thoughts raced furiously... 'Why am I even here, doing this? ...oh, right, I was worried about how Star's been acting recently...' He remembered in resignation...
Steeling himself, he tries again...
"Uh... I get your REALLY into survival training... but why have Star do the 'no clothes' bit? I mean... she's your DAUGHTER. Naked in PUBLIC... Around a bunch of equally naked GUYS...I mean, how are you okay with that?," Asked Marco bewildered.
River gave out a sigh.
"Honestly? I agree, I actually wanted to exempt her from the whole thing so she could take a much deserved relaxing VACATION. But Star insisted! Said she wanted to do more things with my dear Moonpie! ...which is weird, considering they've hardly spent any time together or talked together during this whole thing...," River explains as he trails off confused.
"Come on Marco it's not that bad," Kelly sauntered up, her naked form thankfully covered by her hair.
"Easy for you to say,"said Marco trying very hard not to look at her exposed flesh. "In addition to my parents being nude, I have...uh..." Marco trailed off nervously-
BUMP!
"Come on Marco, join in!," Star shouted as she grabs Marco while swinging by on a vine.
GAH!
A startled Marco exclaims at this sudden 'abduction', he instinctively uncovered himself and grabbed on to Star for dear life...exposing his 'tadpole tail' to all...
Kelly just giggles as she said brushes her hair away revealing her naked body to Marco, which between this and Stars naked body pressing into him...was more then enough for Marco's 'little friend' to rise up and forever prove that he was neither a shower nor a grower much to the girls amusement...
Having teased him enough, both girls gave him a break. Taking a resigned Marco by the hand they lead him through the rest of the survival course...
Despite the initial awkwardness, Marco had a fun time together with Star and Kelly...
Just swinging through the trees, dodging obstacles and working out in the buff...it was a nice change of pace...
The only real blight was both Marco and Star being uncomfortable seeing each others family naked- especially when looking at Moon gave Marco a VERY mortifying boner- that left an annoyed Star having to fight against a knee-jerk urge to rip off said boner -Thankfully, the parents left to take River to the hospital after he ate a beehive...
Now that they were alone...Marco braced himself to FINALLY confront Star...
"Look Star, I'll reluctantly admit I'm having a great time... but what's been going on with you lately? Before this it was landmine testing, then bear-baiting, THEN blood hunting, then mosquito poison racing BEFORE THAT and SO ON!... you set up all these activities that you claim are for you and your mom to do together... yet you not only don't spend anytime with her at all during them, but you also invite as many other people as you can to be with INSTEAD of her," Marco pointed out.
"He's right, it is weird," Janna said who is suddenly there lounging on a chair naked in the sun, next to an equally naked Tom(4) .
"GAH!" Marco gasp as he tries to look away from her body.
Janna laughs as she gives him a pose.
"Yeeaaah, I'm gonna have to side with Marco here. I'm all for keeping our friendship together, bonding closer, etc... but inviting your boyfriend AND Ex-boyfriend to a naked survivalist thing together? That's just weird Star," stated Tom flatly.
"Yeah, especially when comparing their junk is like comparing a Spanish sesame seed with a demonic foot-long..." Teased Janna
Marco bristled at that, but ignored it to get to his point. "Seriously Star, what's going on with you recently?" Marco asked concerned.
Before Star can respond-
CRASH!
Marco quickly grabbed Star and pushed her out of the way before she got run over by a truck that just tore through the underbush. As it passed he saw an aged Mina was driving...
Tom immediately went to his attack mode. He blasted the truck with fire. His fire forced Mina to race away, leaving as fast as she came.
"What was that?" Kelly asked having just ran out of the restroom.
"Mina's here," Marco said as he instinctively pulls Star bare body towards his to keep her safe- modesty be dammed! - while the others call the cops...
...
In the forest hours later -
Amanda wondered why she ever got involved with this nutjob. She was setting up a campfire to keep warm while eating the last of their food. They'd stolen it awhile back when they killed some guy's and took his debit/credit cards.
With so much chaos still ongoing thanks to the effects of the merge, no one would've looked into a few more random corpses on the highway and they could've lived off those cards for months!
But NO! Mina had to make a spectacle of the whole thing! It hadn't been enough to kill them, she had to SET THE FREAKING HIGHWAY ON FIRE!
It wasn't long before the cards were voided and the police were back on their trail!
Now they're down to bags of chips, some can foods, some sodas and several bottles of water. And because of Mina driving the truck through that 'nudist camp', she'd decided they needed to ditch their clothes to remain 'inconspicuous'...her pleas of that being an idiotic plan had been ignored when the lunatic of a battle axe had stripped her anyway!
And thus a naked, shivering Amanda struggled with a can of beans as she regretted not taking her chances with the 'redshirt army'...
Although forced to ditch the truck, a now equally naked Mina had managed to at least take the one crate she hadn't broken into yet. The rest had contained nothing but now defunct Pre-Merge magical stuff...and a rotting red herring?
Amanda was considering how to sneak away and turn her in when Mina finally broke it open!
"Finally!" Mina exclaimed triumphantly.
"So what is it?" Amanda asked, despite the situation she couldn't help but be curious...
"It's a sword," said Mina excited, it was so long since she'd had one! She felt like a real warrior again!
"A sword? What is so special about...," Amanda asked as she turns around- only to abruptly stop! She watched dumbstruck as she saw Mina's body had become silver in color, like she was made out of metal! "What happen to you?"
Mina looked startled, she hadn't been expecting this! And then...she heard the whispers...and just like that...all her anxieties and doubts just washed away... She could practically feel her body be refilled with new energy and purpose! "Something great! ... The sword is talking to me...with it I shall strike Star and her fellow monster smoochers down! Then they will be like us and our army will march across this miserable planet and sweep away all who've wronged us!," Mina cackled. SHE WAS BACK BABY!
...
The next day at the shack -
Dipper is reading an article about how the Roman gods were doing under Ceaser's leadership. Dipper notes that these Roman variants were seemingly more disciplined then their hedonistic, Greek counterparts. They also still have their powers unlike many other former gods thanks to being from- among other places - worlds like Juniper Lee's and the 'Gods of Manhattan'. They're now either work with the local government in the city of Rome or are celebrities. Apollo- for example -is now a music star.
There are also now many other lesser known gods. Like Cloacina the Roman goddess of the sewers who works with the sewer workers of the city. She is surprisingly now one of the most powerful gods, as unlike the gods like Zeus who is known but no one really prays to him anymore. (5)
There are also many 'new' gods thanks to the mixing of the magics/reality structures of places like the aforementioned 'Gods of Manhattan' world. Like Marcus Gauius Apicius: God of 'Roman cuisine so great you'll invent doggie bags just to enjoy more', Peregrinus: God of Graffiti, Maximinus Thrax, Gordian I, Gordian II, Pupienus, Balbinus and Gordian III: the six Co-Gods of unlucky leaders, Caracalla: God of Roman baths and Alea god of Tabula. (6)
While Dipper wonders how the reality structures/magicks of both those worlds and his would intermingle with each other(7) , he begins to move on to another article about how XJ9 foiled yet another rouge A.I. attack which seemed to be- among other things -using the fantastic machines of the Horizon Zero Dawn world that had spread around the world since the merge. With the machines animals running wild and causing all computers to go haywire, This was causing many cities across the world to be damaged despite their best efforts to thwart them.
In the aftermath of the attacks, a company called Anderson's Robotics is offering to rebuild the affected cities for free, they are also now approaching Mr. House for a potential partnership for the restoration project...an possibly a potential merger between the two corporate entities?
'Hmmm... Mr. House already has the household robots market cornered...but combing them with Anderson's paratech capabilities seems to be a sound move in these crazy times...', muses Dipper to himself.
"Hey Dipper, I think I finally figured out this copier," Twilight's voice suddenly called out to him, interrupting his thoughts.
He then puts the paper aside and goes back to working on the clone-copier with Twilight. After one of his 'flashes' he'd learned of the copier in the Shack that bring copies to life.
He purposely brought a copy of his hand to life before destroying it with water to test it
He then called in Twilight to help him figure out how it works. He even showed her the journal which had a drawing of a crystal bulb that can make shadow copies of anything it's shined on, but only as long as the light is making a shadow. Whether this was meant to be a prototype of the copier or just a similar invention, they had yet to decide...
When Twilight asked how Dipper knew about this, Dipper finally told Twilight about the flashes he gets now and then of things that were going to happen, which- among other things -had helped him find the journal in the first place.
He then revealed to her that he'd been starting to have flashes of him using the copier to make clones of himself so that he could keep Wendy and Robbie apart during the upcoming party at the shack.
Twilight- trying VERY hard to hide her arousal at the sight of Dipper VERY respectable list - points out that the visions- as he sees it - probably won't happen as Wendy is not only still not talking to Robbie after he left her to die, but more importantly the relationship he has with Wendy's seems far stronger in this version of reality.
Thus she theorizes that he might be seeing an alternate timeline which has become more unlikely thanks to both the Merger and all the 'changes' Dipper has made thanks to said flashes.
In the copier room, Twilight was examining the copier. She has found that there are tons more gears in it than it should be physically possible for a machine of it's size to have, the bulb is made out of some kind of crystal and some kind of red liquid inside of a glass container that the light of the crystal bulb is focused through. Which somehow cause anything that the copier scans of a living being is brought to life but in paper form.
"What did you find out?" Dipper ask.
"Well it seems that the Author Went and used several magical items to make this copier. Which- and this is just a guess mind you -he used to study COPIES of dangerous creatures."
"Hmm...maybe we could test it on me then? Even if Robbie is no longer a factor, I'd still like to give Wendy a great night. I've even remade the list to include both Wendy activities and experiments you and I can preform on the clones," Dipper said as he proudly whipped out his brand new list.
"No, that's a bad idea," Said Twilight while she both had a 'Smartypants incident' flashback AND wiped away the bloody nose she was getting from the perverse thoughts she was having toward his list...and HIM.
"Dipper take it from me, living life by a list will get you nothing but trouble. But more importantly: They might be clones but they're still you. Killing a clone would basically you murdering another sapient being." Said Twilight assertively as she regained her composure...which she immediately lost again as she was once more assaulted with a vision...not of a flashback...but a flashFORWARD .
Dipper- deep in thought over what Twilight just said -didn't notice as he continued on,"Yeah, I guess, You're right. Bringing to life a SAPIENT clone that can be easily killed with water would just be cruel. Reminds me of those 'quick clones' that the MIB used to use...how horrible must it have been for them...to know that once there time was up they just ended up melting..." Dipper shuddered just thinking about it. "It was probably only how their reality functioned that allowed them to do that without ethic dilemmas or the clones going insane from existential dread..." He mused out loud, he then FINALLY noticed Twilight looking dazzled as images of 'memories' regarding a weird pond and an army Pinkie's staring at a wall with drying paint dance across her vision.
"Twilight?" Dipper asked concerned as he went over to help her.
Twilight was dazed, but she got through it with Dipper's help,"I... think... I think I just had my own flash forward. I was zapping clones of... Pinkie? Yeah, that's it! And not caring about their lives as long as the real one was found," Twilight said shaking her head to get her thoughts in order.
"Huh... Do you think it's like mine? A future where there was no Merge?," Dipper asked inquisitively.
"Maybe... but will theorize more on that later. Right now we should focus on making sure that this clone machine is disabled so there won't be any accidental cloning, Just to be safe," said Twilight grimly. Despite what she was saying, she was clearly still shaken over what she'd just witnessed 'herself' do.
"Hey, I just got a text. You guys have a machine that clones people? How?" Asked Mable as she walks in.
Dipper frowned in confusion, "Yes and you just need to put someone inside the copier. But what do you mean text-
BUMP!
Mable quickly grabs Dipper and flings him on to the copier before anyone can stop her.
"Yes! Conga line with nothing but Dippers! I just need a naked leprechaun fighting a goat over a tin can and my dream will finally come true!" Shouts Mable excited!
The copier spat out a Dipper clone, he looked at himself in horror. "There! now there are two Dippers! LET'S GO FOR A DOZEN MORE!."
CRACK!
Twilight had finally recovered and promptly kicked her in the cootchie before she could do anymore damage.
"Do you have any idea what you just did?" Screamed Twilight and ORIGINAL Dipper while CLONE Dipper just looked at himself in both confusion...which quickly began to turn to HORROR.
"What? I made another bro-bro to do stuff with me?" Mable gasped, still clutching herself in pain.
"AND WHAT ABOUT THE FACT I DIE WHEN I GET WET?" clone Dipper suddenly shouted, the full implications of his mortality' hitting him like a sledgehammer.
"Wait... die?" Mable asked confused.
"Dang it Mable, I was just about to explain that to you! Why do you never listen!?" Demanded Dipper exasperated.
"Nevermind that, even if that wasn't a factor. Just cloning a new life for your own selfish desires is just immoral! What were you thinking?!
Again, Mable just looked at them at all baffled, "That I liked my brother...and wanted another? Someone to do a neverending clone conga line with? Because it sounded fun?" She offered...still not really getting what the problem was...they were both smart, couldn't they just fix the water issue? She thinks, not getting how difficult that would be to accomplish BEFORE he got wet and died. The ethical issues likewise completely went over her head...
"You always do this! You never listen to anyone unless it's what you want to hear!" Accused the furious Dipper clone, "You are completely selfless! You never cares about what happens to others as long as it benefits you! ," he growls. "You-
SPLAT!
Mable- again, not really taking the situation seriously -sprays him with a can of silly string to calm him down. She just smirks, "Easy there clone bro, I'm still your- ack!" Mable cried out as the now very infuriated Dipper clone punched her in her face! Mable clutched her bruised cheek as she stared at clone Dipper in stunned disbelief.
"I'm not your brother and I don't have to put up with you frak anymore!" the clone Dipper screamed as he grabs a nearby tool and swung at Mable while she ran away in terror.
...Earlier In The Shack ...
The party is in full swing as the kids were- as long as you ignored their irritation over the exorbitant entry fee and the unfairness of the 'exit' fee- having a great time
Thanks to the campers from Camp Lakebottom, camp counselors, Sunset and her sisters showing up the party was packed.
This would Cause even more people to show up once the social networks lit up, Stan was outside making sure that no latecomers crashed the party... without paying the 'party crasher' fee FIRST that is...
"This is it guys, this is the big leagues," Eddy said as he, Edd and Ed walk up the road to the Mystery Shack.
"Oh, goody! This'll be fun!" Ed yelled out excited.
"Indeed, it's Almost a shame we're going to be working," Edd pointed out.
"So what? We'll be rubbing elbows with the big boys now! REAL kids, not the same old crowd of the cul-de-sac. A REAL social group, not those old has-beans," Eddy said.
"Hey we're right here," said Kevin indignantly as he and the other kids had tagged along to join the party...although unlike the Ed's, they had to pay to get in.
"Just be glad we're letting you tag along Shovel-chin," Eddy grumbles back.
Since the merge, things in Peach Creek had greatly changed from what was 'normal' to them.
For one thing: all the new kids that filled the school and surrounding neighborhoods,... this on itself was a HUGE adjustment for the kids who couldn't remember the last time they actually interacted with other kids besides themselves before...heck, it had been almost as if no other kids EXISTED in their world sometimes. And that went DOUBLE for the adults who they were suddenly able to see, aren't out of view and were actually getting involved in their lives and ASSERTING their authority as adults. Something that was- more or less -practically unheard of back in their old world...well, in a MEANINGFUL way at least...
And as a result most of the Cul-De-Sac kids were having some trouble adjusting...
Kevin wasn't seen as the cool kid anymore thanks With how much like a jerk he acts. How he keeps calling everyone who he doesn't like dork was ESPECIALLY irritating. Not to mention that he's no longer the 'tough one' at school as older and bigger kids quickly took that spot, so all his threats now fell flat. Soon, no one outside of their little group wanted to have anything to do with him.
Then there's Sarah who quickly learned that acting like a spoiled brat was now no longer something that people just put up with. It soon caused her to be the most disliked kid in school.
Well That, plus her going around destroying things in a fit of rage. Which was unfortunate for her, as she can no longer beat up much bigger and older kids like she did back on her old world.
The last time she got in a fight with older kids she got beaten up badly...not just because of her opponent being bigger and stronger but because she tried to lift something bigger and heavier then her, which- unlike back in her old world -now caused her to pull her muscles off her bones.
She ran to her mom to get her to 'make the problem go away' like always...but due to her lack of experience with ANYTHING to do with her children...or a world were bad parenting had ACTUAL consequences...That accomplished nothing but leading to her being arrested for her blatant favoritism of Sarah and borderline abuse/neglect of Ed.
Jimmy quickly became known as the lamest crybaby of the school. But things got worse for him when he tried to frame the Ed's for the destruction of the school garden, hoping he could take the heat off Sarah- with her recent troubles, he could no longer play the victim and 'hide beneath her skirt' while she beat up all his problems for him - but to his shock, the school didn't just blindly believe that the Ed's did it. Worse, the school had installed cameras which caught Jimmy pouring weed killer into the planting soil. Needless to say Jimmy is not only in deep trouble with the teachers but is now the school pariah for ruining all their hard work.
Nazz found herself no longer the school beauty. With plenty of other girls around, Nazz just became one of the crowd. She's just wasn't interesting enough to stand out on her own 'merits' anymore...
Johnny- on the other hand -somehow became an internet star be posting videos of himself and Plank. People- for some reason -found his interacting with Plank very interesting. The money he makes from the ads on his videos made him one of the few kid at school who wasn't dependent on his parents to give him money. Seeing money signs the Ed's soon began making videos of their money making scams- as well as their hi-jinks -to their shock, they became a hit as well.
Rolf, thanks to both his experience in trying to fit in with an 'alien'- from his perspective at least -culture and his urban ranger leadership skills had become a bit of community leader. Helping fellow displaced people from other worlds find there place in this crazy new 'world'.
"AND STAY OUT!"
"PLEASE! I Just need to talk to her!" Begged Tambry as the Mr. Handy's dragged her away...
Stan shook his head at this sad sight, He left Soos and the eyebots in charge of keeping an eye on the party...then saw the Ed's.
"Hey Eddy, you guys get your butts over here! ," he yelled as he waved them to the front of the line to get to work...
Not too long after the Merge, Eddy tried to scam Mr. Pines. To his surprise, Mr. Pines was not only not fooled but turned the tables on Eddy.
Much to his surprise, instead of calling his parents or the police... Stan was so amused by his con that he agreed to let it go on the condition that he his friends work at the shack as unpaid interns..., while also teaching Eddy to improve his conman skills!
Eddy was already making a killing from his part in the Bingobezzlement racket! Now if they could just stop Ed from stealing the pugs from the traffickers...
...
The party is in full swing with the kids enjoying themselves or helping themselves to the food and drinks being served by a Mr. Handy. Wendy is also making sure the party wouldn't get too wild. They're helped by Sunset's sisters who also came for the party. Seeing how all of them are essentially giant amazons, it was very easy for them to keep the younger kids in line.
In one corner of the shack Sasha is talking over the phone. Explaining to a camper's parents how the 'people in Riley's head and/or emotions' were simply benevolent, semi-autonomous mental constructs that seemed to simply be a 'quirk' of their former world.
Milla suddenly pops up, throws his phone away, tells him to lighten up and forget about work for once. And makes him dance to the beat, at first he's startled but it's obvious that he quickly gets into it.
The human Applejack and Applebloom were congratulating pony Applebloom on her recent success of saving her family farm.
Pony Applebloom thanks them and then asks if they'd be interested in doing business with her farm. The humans then learned how pony Applejack is still sulking over how she had to take orders from her little sister and that her little sister is better at keeping the farm afloat then she was. Granny Smith and Big Mac- conversely -were thankfully not only okay with this but actually thriving under her supervision...
Vinyl and Octavia were talking shop with their pony counterparts Vinyl and Octavia.
They're discussed how Vampire Queen Marceline was going to hire some local musicians as back up band members for her shows.
They talk of joining together to have a better chance at being hired and get their big break.
Human Rarity is talking to Raz about the possibility of creating brand new uniforms for the Psychonauts. Raz fantasies about looking like the Psychonaut Death Trooper's from issue #24... before being shot down back to Earth by Lilly pointing out they don't have the money for that.
Lilly politely thanks Rarity for the offer, but explains how they were currently focusing on getting their finances straight and simply couldn't afford to do anything that frivolous...
Human Fluttershy was talking to Wendy about the habits and ecology of Deer Women.
Pony Fluttershy- meanwhile -was with a bunch of Eco-friendly kids who are expressing their concerns on how the pampered Equestrian animals weren't adapting well to a world where the ponies aren't in control of everything and they have to do things themselves without the ponies to take care of them. Like how a domesticated animal struggles adapting when released back into the wild. The ponies are having enough trouble in making a living in the new world they found themselves in, to bother taking care of the animals as well.
Human Rainbow Dash was getting annoyed of people saying how sorry they were she got kicked off the Wonderbolts. Having confused her with PONY Rainbow Dash. Said pony wasn't at the party herself as she's too busy trying to find a new job.
While on the dance floor... Slenderman is dancing?!
"Do the Slender! Do the Slender! Do the Slender!" Slednerman shouted knocking everyone over.
"Ugh, No thank you," said human Limestone, she like everyone else was dismissive of the box office flop and just ignored him...
"I SAID DO IT!", He screamed suddenly, bowling her over in shock.
Off to the side Sunset is talking with her fellow princess Melody the mermaid princess, along with Pacifica- who'd FINALLY snuck away from the mansion after her father celebrated the successful acquisition of Silver Shamrock thanks to her...'contribution'.
"You haven't used Adam?" Pacifica asked Princess Melody, desperate to not think about how dirty she felt...
"It's all still being tested so that what happen at Rapture won't happen again. I really don't know about anything about it," Melody admitted with a shrug.
"When it hits the market there be a big demand on 'weight lose', 'Booze resistance and cigarette resistance Adam," Sunset pointed out. "But enough about that, how's your home coming along?"
"Still being rebuilt, were being forced to rebuild it sector by sector due to other issues that keep popping up...," Melody explains.
"I still can't believe that your old underwater kingdom was destroyed by that sponge and starfish," Pacifica said.
"Don't remind me," Melody said with a groan.
"At least there was a empty city for all of you to just moved in," Pacifica pointed out.
"More importantly, thanks to your people, both those idiots will never hurt anyone ever again," Sunset said relieved.
Nearby Rose and Trixie with PONY Trixie.
"Oh, yeah, Jake's been having crazy problems with the whole 'clothes disappear when transformed' thing ever since the merge," Rose explained to Pony Trixie who'd just learned that Wendy kept spare clothes around in the forest because her clothes don't just reappear when she turns back to human.
"Come on guys, stop telling that story!" an embarrassed Jake said as he walks up to the group.
"Really? Why? It's not like there is anything to see. I've seen you plenty of times and I'm not gonna lie. You're smoother then a ken doll 'down there'," Trixie pointed out.
"It's the same with other reptiles. It all goes inside of us. It's the reason why you don't see anything hanging under a male snake or lizard," Jake said with a red(er) face.
"Tell that to Spike.", teased Pony Trixie. Indeed, different worlds had different rules in regards to such things, with the merge...some rules stayed the same, some rules went away and others changed drastically...there didn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it...but so what else was new?
While Jake indignantly sputtered denials...Pony Trixie got a devilish idea...she offers him a drink from her hat. Exhausted from this argument, he complies-
POOF!
And thanks to the Ed boys new line of prank products, he involuntarily turned into his dragon form. Thus destroying his clothes...
"Aw, man! Come on!", Shouts Jake annoyed.
The girls scold Trixie for that, but are amused themselves...
BUMP!
They're even more amused when Mable- being chased by 'Dipper' -knocks Jake over, causing him to temporarily revert back to human...sadly, that's all the time he needs to get exposed to the girls...
"DAWM!", shouts several girls nearby impressed impressed.
"I guess we know why your name is LONG..." Teased/complimented Trixie playfully to a blushing Jake's distress...
The smiling stopped when they saw PONY Trixie LIVESTREAMING this from her hat somehow, then the angry shouts began...
Nearby Harry was talking to Hermonie over a videophone. With all the anti-magic rallies and witch hunts that were happening in England after the ritualistic-infantcide, Hermonie parent's had moved to America. She's currently the only one of his old friends that he was still in contact with.
"I know we cut off ties with Ron and his family when they STILL sided with Dumbeldore after everything, but this new Norsefire group...," Hermonie was suddenly interrupted when Danny laughs from nearby.
Harry who is eager to change the subject, pounced on this much needed distraction. "What's so funny Danny?"
Danny holds up his phone, streaming news coverage. "Valerie just fled Amity Park to get a ghost hunting job! She just sent me these hilarious pictures!" He holds up his phone "Get this, my old 'friend', Tucker thought to ride my coattails and try to run for mayor in my old town!"
"Isn't he 14?," Hermonie asked incredulously.
"HA! Well that had to be a short campaign," Harry stated with a chuckle.
"That's the best part... it was!" Danny said smirking. "Him being my 'former friend' made him so popular that those idiots gave him the job on the spot!"
Hermonie sputters at the idiocy of this while Harry laughs.
"So what did he do?" Harry ask.
"About as well as can be expected, that idiot sunk all of the cities few remaining resources and revenue to bring the city 'into the future'," Danny snarked with amusement.
"So what? He made the city automated? Gave everyone the latest gadgets? Tossed out everything low tech or obsolete?" Hermonie asked confused.
"All of the above! He ripped out the whole towns infrastructure and bankrupted the city giving everyone gadgets they didn't need/want/use/know how to use and trying to set down new infrastructure how he wanted and not consulting anyone how to assimilate it into the city properly. The city collapsed with an hour of the cities 'grand re-opening!," Danny explains showing a picture of a Tucker being tared, feathered and run out of town on a splintery rail by an angry crowd of naked girls like Paulina...and...Sam...
Danny frowns...he found himself saddened to see Sam like this...he tried to remind himself why he broke things off with her...
'She only...cared...about...what...what...what my ghost powers...give her...'
Danny frowned...suddenly...something about that seemed... off...like...something had put blinders on him before...but now he was seeing...he wanted to say...clearer?
"Wait, why are they naked?" Harry asked suddenly.
Danny quickly shakes these dour thoughts off as he easily got back to happier topics! "Tucker made all the girls in town wear 'anime style' clothes so naturally they crumbled like paper within the hour!," Danny elaborates with a snicker. (8)
Hermione face on the videophone showed how annoyed she was with the information. "For crying out loud! Where was the governor during all this? Tucker should never have been allowed to be mayor in the first place!"
Danny merely shrug. "He had bigger things to worry about what with the merge fraking up everything, by the time he found out what was happening, the town was already ruined. And he more or less washed his hands of them. They're now just another 'Uselessville'."
Danny showed a picture of townspeople and the still naked girls huddling around dumpster fires shivering, desperate for rags to cover their shame.
There is also a picture of a crippled Dash working at one of the few local fast food shop's still open, along with his former flunky Kwan who is now his manager.
Star was about to get another soda-
CRASH!
"Get back here!" clone Dipper shouted drawing attention away from the sword wielding mad woman. To Mable being chase by Dipper swinging a hammer at her. Who are followed by another Dipper and Twilight.
BOOM!
A nude, metal-like and blood covered Mina stepped out of a now flaming hole in the wall she dramatically slung her sword out, bloodlust and madness radiating from her
"Sorry to crash the party Princess," Mina said smugly pointing the sword(9) at Star with menace...
Who was- along with everyone else -completely ignoring her to watch the drama between clone and Mable...
Mina blinked in bafflement... then growled, "Oh, come on! I spent hours practicing to get the whole flaming hole thing working! And I had a cool one-liner and everything!"
Star looked over, "Wha? Mina? When did you get here?" Asked an oblivious Star confused, while everyone else just kept watching the Clone try to murder it's 'sister'...
Mina's eye twitched, "Are you kidding me- I- You -wha- She pinched the bridge of her nose, but decided to just continue...
"You may have everyone else on this dirt clog fooled but I KNOW BETTER!" Mina ranted, ignoring how the Dipper clone had thrown his hammer at Mable's legs to trip her and is now just strangling her...
"You call me a monster? Well, what dose that make you? I only massacred a city! You massacred entire universes! Ledgerdomain! Undertale! World of Exalted! The Planeswalkers world! XANATH! Discworld! The Genie Realm! The Kingdom Heart verse! The realm of magic! Your Mother fracking spells! All dead because of you!" Mina continues on while Pacifica is reluctantly saving Mable. She calms down clone Dipper while a sobbing and gagging Mable runs for it...
"And say what you will about me. At least I'm brave enough to tackle my enemies head on! Did you do that? NO! You ran like a coward, killed magic and destroyed countless lives just because you didn't want to destroy an already broken city! Good call dumb-dumb!" Mina raved as Pacifica is comforting and hugging a sobbing Tyrone, who then sobs harder in pain when the tears make his EYES MELT!
"And at least I'm strong in MY convictions! You? Your a hypocrite! All this flak aimed at me... but it takes two to Tango, doesn't it? Can't help but notice no one talks about MOON's roll in that whole fiasco? Hmm? Where's her punishment? Where's her ostracization? Where's the demonization of HER belief systems and all she fought for?! Huh!? I never would've gotten all that armor without her help! Sebastian was good, but even he would've taken years to get that much! Never mind the short amount of time I had to work with! SHE convinced the citizens of her 'town' to be my army! She was the one who cast the Solaria's Mega-spell on them! And yet... you SAID NOTHING! YOU NEVER TOLD ANYONE ABOUT WHAT YOUR MOTHER DID YOU HYPOCRITICAL, COWARDLY, STUPID LITTLE BIT-"
"Uh, excuse me? Star? Could you tell your Sentai cosplaying friend to keep it down? Tyrone's eye's are melting! I need to apply first aide!" Pacifica spoke up. She was so busy focusing on 'reluctantly' saving Mable and soothing the Dipper clone, she had completely blocked everything else out until Mina started yelling.
"Tyrone?", the semi-blind clone now named Tyrone asked in curious wonder...
"Well, I can't keep calling you 'that clone', can I? Tyrone just sounds better somehow, don't ask me why," Pacifica said shrugging.
Tyrone smiles warmly at her.
"STUPID BITCH! YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I PREPARED THAT SPEECH!" Mina screamed as she throws the sword at Pacifica.
Tyrone jumps in front of Pacifica, taking the sword into his chest and exploding to dust in a flash of light.
"Tyrone!", Pacifica shouted horrified.
"Alright, that's it!" Danny growls as he went ghost and fire beams of energy at Mina.
Mina rolled out of the way and summon the sword back to her hand. Danny fired more energy blasts at Mina who block them with the sword.
As that was happening the kids in the crowd moved as far as they could from the battle, with Sunset's sisters protecting the younger kids.
No one noticed a little girl sneaking off in the commotion...
"Watch out! She has a magic sword!," Jake shouted to Danny.
"I know. Don't get hit by it," Danny said as he avoided Mina's sword swings at him.
"Take her outside!" Wendy shouted.
"Right away!", The Mr Handy chime in as it flew into Mina, slamming her through a window.
"You have to do better then that!" Mina shouted getting back up and pointing the sword at Danny and Jake
"Don't have to," Jake said pointing to the side.
"I'm not falling for that," Mina said smugly.
ZAP!
A energy beam strikes the sword, breaking it in half!
"What?" Mina ask looking to the side and her eyes widen seeing, XJ-8 firing a missile that slams into Mina and takes her skywards-
BOOM!
-erupting in a massive fireball.
"Sword recovered," XJ-8 said while picking up the sword pieces.
"What is it?" Jake ask.
"This sword- once touch by an organic being it -transforms the holder into a metallic being. Any organic being they hit with it will disappear... we're STILL trying to figure out what happens tot he victims...," XJ-8 explains.
"So what are you going to do with it?" Danny ask.
"I'm going to throw them into the sun," XJ-8 replied simply, before flying into space to do just that.
Inside the shack Sunset was cautiously leaning out of the window, having watched along with the others.
"She got here faster then I thought," observed Sunset.
"Wait, you called the giant robot?" Lincoln asked.
"Of course I did, with how many things that have been happening it's a good idea to have more then one hero on the payroll," pointed out Sunset.
"Heh... well... that happened... oh, well! All well that ends well, right?", exclaimed Mable enthusiastically. Eager to put this insanity behind them so she could go back to the party-
CRASH!
Unfortunately for her, Pacifica had different plans. Emphasized by her FISTS!
"You bitch! You stupid Bitch! This is your fault! Tyrone died because of you!," Pacifica cried out as she tightens her grip around Mable's throat.
Dipper- AGAIN -reluctantly saves Mable... But after watching the closest thing he ever had to a brother DIE in front of him.. he couldn't even look at her...
Dipper realized that once again people suffered because she just wouldn't listen to him and ONLY thought of herself... like always...
He realized he had a LOT to think about...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
So caught up was he in his thoughts, he didn't notice how the ground s̶h̶o̷o̷k̴e̵ beneath him...
...
Meanwhile, Star also had a lot to think about after what Mina had said...
"Did I really do the right thing? Or just the easy thing? I remember those Law and Order episodes where they go after big companies after finding their connection to smaller cases. Like the mother who was medicating her psychotic son with her own meds that she got from mail order via the company," Star said to herself.
"It didn't matter her insurance company wouldn't pay for her sons expensive meds, it didn't matter that the school refused to assist with the boy, it didn't matter she was giving him pills that wouldn't treat his symptoms because the school demanded she give him 'something'. It didn't matter what the company was doing was totally legal," Star again said to herself.
"The minute they have a big obvious target like big pharma, all of the actual guilty parties were moved aside to take on the 'big obvious target' that was as guilty as the blacksmith who made the sword rather than the guy wielding it," Star said to herself. (10)
"Come on Star, what choice did you have? The only other option was Eclipsa's 'spell of destruction' and that would have destroyed Mewni!" Marco defended quickly.
"Oh, so as long as my world's okay that makes fraking over a hundred other worlds fine and dandy!?" Star asked sarcastically.
"Uh...," Marco began unsure. "well...that's not...you couldn't...it's just."
Sunset- having been listening in with interest - rolls her eyes as she abruptly buts in. "Oh, for the love of- Okay, chicken Little clear the runway. I'LL be the bad guy here!" Said the self-made Princess as she pushes a startled Marco out of the way to give the reality check she wished someone had given to HER back when she scrapped and bowed for HER mother's 'love'.
"Whoa, wait, what!?" Shouted Marco surprised at this interruption.
"Look, let's just rip off the bandage here: did you REALLY forgive your mother after what she did?"
"Hey come on, that's a bit personal," Marco interjected, but Star angrily interrupted.
"Of course, I forgave Her! With magic gone-"
"I'm sorry...but what did magic have ANYTHING to do with her betraying you?" Sunset asked point blank.
And that was it...with that one sentence...Star is left dumbstruck... and for the first time since the merge... she REALLY thinks it over...
"Wow... Is that what I did? Destroy magic because it was just... EASIER to blame one big, easy target that I could get ride of... instead of facing the reality that so many of my people were horribly backward and racist?" Star bawled her hands into fists... "Or... the fact that my mom betrayed me and nearly destroyed all I helped build simply because she didn't trust Eclipsa." She started to shake, long repressed rage FINALLY allowed to bubble out. " No... because she didn't trust me? That she was willing to trust that psychopath MINA over her own Daughter!?" Star screamed out through the tears as she fell to her knees...
"Pretty much," said Sunset flatly while Marco gaped at her in a 'what the heck' way. Sunset just shrugged at it, "Hey, you go fishing sometimes you get a boot." She snarked in defense.
"I need to be alone...," Star said abruptly as she headed off, the cop too busy are talking with Stan to stop her leaving the crime scene.
Marco glares at Sunset. "You know, you could've been a bit more gentle about that."
Sunset again just shrugs.
"Hey, pretending your happy and okay doesn't mean you ARE. She was clearly just pretending all was forgiven so they could be a family again. Heck, Maybe she even was able to convince HERSELF she was happy... but she WASN'T. Trust me, that kind of betrayal- Sunset pauses as she thinks of Celestia -There's no happy ending there." She says finally in resignation...
...
-Back at Canterlot Castle -
Star- EVENTUALLY went back to the castle... She enters the VIP area of the castle... There she found...HER with some bake goods on a table.
"Oh, good to see you Star! I made more of your favorite," said Moon jovially...oblivious to Star's inner-turmoil...
"Mom... we need to talk," Star said finally.
Moon suddenly looks concerned as she now sees how somber Star is...
"Mom... I'm not happy...Nothing would make me happier to say I WAS happy and I DID forgave you..." Star began to choke up, but SOMEHOW she kept herself going...
"But I'm NOT and I DON'T."
And just like that...the 'levee' broke...
"I DON'T forgive you. ...I never did! I lied to you... and MYSELF!"
On and on it went. Everything she'd bottled up: all her frustration, anger, HATRED, despair, guilt...was all gushing out now!
"I watched a memory of what happened when you got sucked into the magic realm... Eclipsa was THIS close to getting through to Meteora and calming her down. But you ruined it! Yes, Eclipsa, shouldn't have done what she did. But your as much to blame for what happened as she was! But I'm not mad at that, How could you have known after all? For of the war, I get it." Star was shaking now, her eyes gushing tears as her mouth did likewise.
"Star...," Moon tried to say something...anything...but she was so caught off guard from Star opening up to her...oh, who was she fooling? She just couldn't think of what to say...what COULD she say?
"I could forgive you for that, I could also forgive you for not trusting Eclipsa, HECK I could even forgive you for not warning me about Mina being up to something at the castle! Yes, I found out about that. And honestly, I'm fine with that! You MORE then deserved a vacation from being responsible for everyone! I'd have been happy for you!..."
Star paused once more...hesitating one more...if she stopped now...she could still...
'NO.' Thinks Star to herself as she dug her fingernails into her hands, drawing blood. 'Sunset was right...this isn't REAL happiness...I HAVE to do this...' So Before she could lose her nerve again...she went for the KILL...
"But what you did... this isn't about not trusting Eclipsa... you... DIDN'T. TRUST. ME. I sacrificed so much to help Eclipsa's dream of equality become a reality, a dream you nearly destroyed! You nearly got so many of my friends killed. Strike that, a friend of mine DID die! QUIRKY GUY DIED! All because you trusted a bigoted whack job over your own flesh and blood! YOU TRUSTED 'CRAZY AS A LOON AND BLOODTHIRSTY AS A JACKAL MINA' OVER ME AND WE ALL NEARLY DIED BECAUSE OF IT!" Star takes numerous breaths to try calm herself.
"Star calm down," Moon said in tears seeing how much she had messed up with Star.
but Star wasn't having any of it, it was out there now and dammit if she wasn't going to deal with it!
"I can relate with Sunset and her mom here! You both thought so little of us- your own DAUGHTERS -when it came to what YOU think is right. AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! Sunset gave up on Celestia- ON BEING A PONY -and joined her HUMAN family! But with me...Celestia can at least say Sunset was adopted...WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE!? Do you have any idea what destroying the magic has done? How many LIVING creatures who were ONLY alive because of magic? All of the spells in the wand? Everyone who was eating, loving, praying, fighting, breathing, LIVING their lives before I wiped them all out! All the cultures that depended on magic to survive? What do you think happened to them when I destroyed the magic? The only reason why those who survived aren't in worse shape is because of the merge happened to bring us all together. AND EVEN THAT'S DEBATABLE! But above all else it means that I'm responsible for the deaths of countless LIVES! FOR A GENOCIDE! I'M A FREAKING THANOS MEME NOW!"
Star glared at Moon...all love...all the care...all the happy memories...it was all gone...in her gaze...was nothing but HATE...
"...You did this to me. I may have chosen this, I DO have to shoulder my fair share of the blame... but YOU forced me into a position where I literally had no choice but to either destroy magic or let our people SUFFER... You made me become the queen of genocide..."
And like that...the fire of rage had died out as quickly as it had flared...
"Mom... I can't be your daughter anymore... one day I might find it in my heart to forgive you... but not today... and not till you earn it," Said the former Princess as she again broke down while running from the room in tears.
Moon is heartbroken and then she sees her husband having listened in.
River just looks at her disappointed, he looks like he wants to say something... but stops himself...he just turns away...not even able to LOOK at her...
"I'm going with our daughter...and for the record. I ALWAYS trusted her, I'm sorry you couldn't do the same," River said as he too leaves room also breaking down in tears.
And Moon...just stood...there...she said nothing...she did nothing...what could she do...what could ANYONE do in such a situation...but fall to the ground, curl up and add to seemingly endless river of tears that flowed across the ground now...
...
...Elsewhere...
Star is walking around the Canterlot garden in a melancholy manner during which the Ponytones were playing.
Rarity didn't have much to celebrate these days, the Ponytones were one of the few joyful things she had left in her life...
Sadly, such joy had to take a backseat as Star's somber presence prompted an equally somber Heartsong .
With the tuneful pony's providing backup, Star found herself swept up into this melody as well...
I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord
She walks past a memorial stone commemorating all the KNOWN people who perished during the Merge
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It was enchanted to update itself constantly...they had to demolish three blocks already to allow it to grow...
Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Star goes past a support group for children that lost their 'imaginary' friends thanks to the merge...
A boy named Calvin sobbed...
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya She tied you to the kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
She walks past a bar where various reports TV's showed the ongoing wars, conflicts and turmoil tearing the world apart since the Merge...
Well baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And love is not a vict'ry march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Star found a newspaper suddenly fly through the air and smack her in the face, she looked over it and sighed as it was about many children mourning the loss of Godzilla with a candlelight vigil over his corpse...
Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Star accidentally walked through a cobweb, crushing the spider... she then shed a tear as the smashed remains formed the impression of a top hat...
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Finally, having walked for so long...she finally sat down on a bench exhausted...and wept...
Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmm, Mmmm
To her surprise she finds a tissue box being levitated up to her, she looks up and sees Marco and many of her friends!
"Marco told us what happened and we ran right over...", explained Juniper concerned.
Star sighed, "Guys...I gotta asks...how are you still friends with me? After-
"After what? You being forced to make a lose/lose decision after getting screwed over by all the adults in your life you THOUGHT you could trust?", snarked Jake.
Star blinked, "What...what do you mean?
"We mean you were basically forced into a situation were there was no good answer, were no matter what you did. Someone was going to get screwed over..."
"But shouldn't I have been able to think of a better way-
"NO! YOU COULDN'T! YOUR A FREAKING 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WHO WAS THROWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING GENOCIDAL WAR! THE FACT YOU HANDLED IT HALF AS WELL AS YOU DID WAS FRANKLY A MIRACLE!"
Marco panted as Star looked at her boyfriend stunned at his outburst...as was everyone else...
"Whoa! Dang man! Where'd THAT come from?", Exclaimed Lincoln in both shock and respect...
Marco sighed, "That's actually been broiling below the surface for months now...I just never let it out because Star SEEMED happy and I didn't want to open old wounds...", he confessed...
Marco takes a moment to compose himself before turning back to his girlfriend. "Look Star...Maybe I'm not the best person to be talking to you about this. Maybe I AM biased. Maybe being your best friend, your boyfriend is making me shortsighted and clouding my view of some serious flaws of yours. These are all possibilities that I can't pretend MIGHT be an issue here. I freely admit to that- He takes a deep breath. -That being said...here's what I think."
He pulls out his phone and begins to show her pictures of the various adults in her life.
"If the MHC was less racist; Eclipsa would never have been imprisoned, nor would Globgor, Meteora never would've become Miss Heinous, and there'd be less problems with the monsters."
"If Solaria had never gone on her insane genocidal crusade against monsters or at least NOT created that stupid spell to create Solarian warriors...again, things would be better with the monsters but more importantly there'd be no Mina!
"Mina...do I really need to elaborate how many of our problems would've NOT happened if she'd just STOPPED being a crazy, racist, genocidal bitch... for FIVE seconds!?"
"The Mewman people in general? If they'd just got over themselves, grew up, and stopped getting angry everytime someone tried to change things or told them something they didn't want to hear...AGAIN, so much problems averted!
"Eclipsa...look, I like Eclipsa, I REALLY do. But let's be honest; without your help she wouldn't have felt motivated to do anything beyond help the monsters or free Globgor while she was in charge! I'm no politician, but the fact she needed to rely on a teenager to help her run the kingdom in any way dose NOT speak well of her capabilities as a ruler!"
"All the other royals...they looked the other way from how poorly Mewni was treating monsters for centuries! For crying out loud, half of them qualify as monsters themselves!...but did they ever point that out? NO! It didn't affect them, they were given privileges because of their wealth...and apparently that was good enough for them!"
Tom clenched in fury... but said nothing, he knew he had a lot to make up for his families 'looking the other way' for the sake of- (shudder) -POLITICS.
Pony Head- by contrast -just looked bored as 'Earth Turd' continued...
"Glossaryck...geez, where do I begin with him? Putting aside all the other crap he put us through...well, for an all-knowing entity, he really screwed us over here! He had to have known this would happen! That the Merge would happen! Yet he let it happen! Why? WHO KNOWS?! THE NUT JOB SAID NOTHING BUT 'GLOBGOR' FOR A MONTH JUST TO MESS WITH US! I SAY SCREW THAT LITTLE SMURF, HIS REASONS AND THE BOAT HE CAME IN ON!"
Marco briefly considered saying something about Moon, but decided that would just be redundant at this point so he instead just headed right for the conclusion...
Marco takes another deep breath, "Star...your an amazing, extraordinary, wonderful girl...who took on so much crap on her shoulders the past year or so...and was able to push far beyond what was expected of her...time and time again people underestimated you and time and time again you proved them wrong...but the fact is...you never should've had to deal with this crap at all! Your people acted like spoiled children, generations of politicians and most of your ancestors either couldn't be bothered to deal with the Mewni/monster situation or just made it WORSE. you were dealing with an avalanche of racism, xenophobia, negligence and the repeated failures of the ADULTS around you who should have known better! Star your a TEEN that was forced to fight a WAR that frankly should've been dealt with by ADULTS, years before you were even born!"
Buff Frog steps up, "For what it's worth, I'll ALWAYS be grateful to you Star. You saved my family that day, no matter what else happens, you'll always be welcome in my household."
Despite the situation, Star couldn't help but smile. "Thanks...don't get me wrong, I'm glad you and your beautiful babies are alive and well...but still, I can't just pretend all the other stuff isn't a thing, I mean just look at Raz! He could've been this Badass Psychonaut agent and I totally screwed that up!"
"Whoa! Whoa! Hold on! Okay, technically that's true...but I don't hold that against you!", reassured Raz quickly.
"Right, so obviously it's great you don't blame her for that...but might I ask why?", inquired Dib suddenly.
"When it comes to being blamed for something you had no real control over- Raz pauses and looks thoughtfully forlorn -Well...let's just say I UNDERSTAND."
"And I can guarantee most of the psychic community understands as well", interjected Lilly as she puts a hand of comfort on Raz. The fact that some psychics were mistreated because of their gifts being all too common was left unsaid...
"How are you guys doing with getting the money to rebuild the Psychonauts?" Asked Juniper.
Raz shrugged, "It's slow going...but I'm not worried. I'm used to having to work ridiculously hard to get something I want, so no harm done."
Star frowned, "Okay, but still...
"Enough with the pity party!", shouts Lilly suddenly. "Look, if it makes you feel better thanks to the merge, Raz and his dad had a heart-to-heart!"
They quickly explained how it was learned his dad didn't hate him OR want him dead for being a psychic. He just wanted to make him stronger to face the world and his hate for 'psychics' was really just for the rival psychic family that cursed them with aquaphobia. It also turns out he and others in his family were secretly psychics as well... it was all a misunderstanding. And they thank Star for that.
Taking cues from Lilly, everyone else began to tell Star how thankful they were for her and the Merge...
"For what it's worth Star... I'm glad you did what you did. If not for you I'd still be stuck in that friendless hellhole of a world constantly saving stupid jerks from an even stupider jerk," Dib adds.
"From what I've seen of other worlds... if not for what you did, I probably would've just forgiven my family for what they did and just let them keep treating me like garbage," Lincoln pointed out in agreement.
"Rose is still with me, she found her real family and I'm no longer trapped in my 'destiny'," Jake said holding Rose's hand.
"I'm no longer have to bare the weight of the world on my shoulders. Now I can just enjoy my life with my girlfriend without worrying about having to be the only one who does anything to protect the world," Korra said.
"I'm way better off then I was before," Danny adds.
"Me too," Dani adds.
"I can leave Orchid bay and am free to let my friends in on my secret! Thank you Star!" Juniper said excited.
Harry gave a smirk. "If I told you how much I was grateful for you... we'd be here all day..."
"My sisters are free to be themselves!" XJ-9 said.
"Star... you helped me get closure with my mom Celestia... I STILL can't say if that's good or bad thing yet and I'm still working through some things... but I'm definitely better for it... so thank you," said Sunset sincerely...Star nods in understanding...
Mr Scotsman suddenly gives her a hug and swings her about excited. "Ah, las! Thank yah! Cause of you my family lives in a castle instead of a rinky-dink farm!"
Everyone gives him a weird look.
"What? I mean it! My family is happier now! That farm was a dump! We only stayed there because we were flat broke," Mr Scotsman explained flatly.
"Thank you...," Star said crying.
While they were all giving her a group hug...Sunset peeled Raz away to have a quick chat
"I'm sorry Raz, I wish I could help get you and your friends get back on there feet, you've certainly proven your worth but..." Sunset trailed off sadly...
"I know, I know... your purse strings are stretched too far as it is. It's cool. I earned all my Psychonaut merit badges in one day plus canoeing! Even if it takes me till I'm thirty, the Psychonauts will be restored!", Raz exclaimed brimming with confidence.
Everyone smiles at him, it was hard not to love his enthusiasm and determination.
Sunset smiles as well...but then fades, it was time for for more serious things... "Uh, Raz...did you look into what I asked?
Raz sighed, the good mood now gone. "We checked...the guards who were SUPPOSED to be guarding the Van Mina stole were found dazed and confused...and had the same 'signs' Huntor did...
This caught everyone's attention and Sunset decided now would be a good time to include them all in on this...they had all proven themselves in one way or another...and if her suspicions were correct...
Sunset reveals about how she learned from Discord's card playing buddies about Slenderman who might be involved in causing the merge. How Star's actions SHOULD'VE only cause Mewni and Earth to merge. And also his 'scheme' might revolve around Gravity Falls.
More importantly, it seemed like almost everyone above her who COULD stop him were dismissive of him as a threat...
Once described, everyone gathered realizes they'd seen brief glimpses of him.
Danny remembers the description of the guy who 'might' have given Dipper a vision of Wendy drowning was a dead ringer for him.
Star remembers him from her nightmares.
Korra remembers seeing something like him during her visit to the spirit world.
Dib remembers seeing a picture of him in one of his books.
More importantly, it seemed like almost everyone above her who COULD stop him were dismissive of him as a threat...
A lot of 'normal' people didn't seem to take him seriously either...especially when he seemed to do nothing but do random crap like dancing at teen parties like an insane, homicidal weirdo...
Needless to say, Dib was getting flashback of his world...
They all can't make hide nor hair of it... but agree to keep a watch for him...
...
-And then we'll hit those monster smoocher from behind like this; BWOOM! And then they'll all be 'Oh, no! An I'm like 'Take that!'" Exclaims Mina Loveberry- having somehow barely Survived the explosion -as she acts out her 'plan' through twigs and rocks...
Amanda just sits on the Stump in the clearing...regretting all of his decisions... They had no food, she slept on rocks, she was naked and her master just grew more and more insane and...old?
"And then I'm like Bam! Wham!" Shouts Mina...oblivious to her wrinkles...and her hair going White...
Turns out it was only Solaria's magic that kept her alive so long...and now with it gone...she was quite literally on her last leg...even the metallic sheen had given up and crumbled off her awhile ago...
"Huh, what was that?" Mina walks over to some bushes and pushes them aside. Down below they see just outside the forest they're in a children's Cornball game in progress...with children both Mewman, Monster and Human playing together happily!
...It turned Mina's insides with rage! "Hey you dumb kids! Stop that!" She shouts as she tries to run down the hill toward them...it was harder now for some reason...
Amanda reluctantly followed...
Mina's started to pant...her body felt weaker...exerting herself seemed to only make her more and more tired...
"Dang kids...you...you can't have fun with monsters...that's...that's not the way things are supposed to be..."
She's so tired...she starts to go on her hands and knees...her white her very long now...
"That...that's the way...the way things have always been...if it's not broke...why fix...it...?"
She's dragging herself now, her body having more wrinkles then leather now...and twice the liverspots...
"Why...why you gotta change everything?...things were fine as they were...why...why...do I feel so alone...on my own world?" She says as she reaches out desperate...
And with those final words...Mina Loveberry...last of the Solarian warriors...gave her last breath and died...
Amanda just watched as Mina rapidly decomposed...even her clothes just seemed to rot away...her bones were all that was left...hand outreached toward the oblivious happy children as they continued to play. Clearly not knowing what just happened...
And then the bones themselves rapidly crumbled...until the only evidence Mina had ever been there was her skull...
crack
Which was immediately crushed to dust by an equally oblivious monster girl...
"Hey what are you doing her in the woods nude?! Come play with us! I can get you food and some spare clothes!", Shouts Katrina eagerly as she hands her a hot dog with 'I Heart Monster's' inscribed on the side...
Amanda just blinks at it for a moment...then sighs and eagerly gobbles up the dog...
'Screw it, I'll just repress my prejudices and abuse people through telemarketing when I become a maladjusted, bitter adult like everyone else...'
She thought to herself as she goes to get fed and dressed...
Fortunately her lack of importance actually helped her here, as no one knew who she was or that she'd ever had ANYTHING to do with Mina...and Amanda wasn't about to correct them...
Mina would continue to be an urban legend...a skip rope rhyme teenage girls used to scare each other at sleepovers...a cautionary tale against bigotry that parents told their children...but nothing else would come of it...
And so...the last bits of Mina would just rot away to nothing...unloved...unmourned and unnoticed...and the world...the world would move on without missing a beat...
...
Meanwhile...
Doctor Von Reichter turned on the recording: "I am once more experimenting with the remnants of the being once called 'Maestro Forte'."
He has several mechanical arms tinker with the wreckage...said wreckage seemingly couldn't decide whether it was supposed to be the wrecked remains of a pipe organ...or a broken human corpse...constantly shifting between the two...
"He was one of many people who'd been cursed by a high level thaumaturgical user in a convoluted plot to 'redeem' a spoiled pre-merge aristocrat, to be turned into various household objects. In HIS case, a large Victorian style pipe organ...contrary to the other residents of the cursed estate, not only did he not want to be turned back to a human being but actively sabotaged all attempts to END the curse."
The Doctor paused as he noted that- for whatever reason the pieces seemed to react more positively when BOLTED TO THE WALL!
Dismissing that last thought as inconsequential, the Doctor moves on...
"More importantly, unlike the other recipients of this enchantment he'd found a way to better utilize and even weaponize the magic that was animating him. Able to use his music telepathically manipulate objects, create vivid imagery and could even cause enough damage to collapse an entire castle...
"In any case, His plans to thwart the curse being broken failed and he ended up destroyed as a result. Fearing what such a person would like AFTER being returned to human...they left his 'body' where it lie, sealed up the room and silently agreed to never speak of him again..."
"Although like many pre-merge aristocrats, he ended up broke when the emerge occurred..due to him, his wife and his household being technically 'beloved Disney characters', many fans were quick to 'crowdfund' them back on their feet...they now open their castle as a bed and breakfast/tourist trap..."
"Shockingly, similar to how the Disney version of the Greek gods kept their powers. The greater the crowdfunding the more the Beast and his staff found they could gain the magic back and can now shift forms back-and-forth. Which they use to great affect during tours, especially during the 'Be Our Guest' Dinner theaters..."
"This has now lead to many to theorize that 'Disney magic', thanks to all the love and belief poured into it...may now be a REAL thing, as similar popular Disney characters have had similar 'enhancements'...this apparently dose NOT extend to worlds that were made during Disney's infamous 'woke phase', no doubt because said 'Disney magic' was no longer 'believed' in or 'loved'.
The Doctor paused to sigh, how he LOATHED to talk of such things as love and belief as if they were 'scientific'...but for better or for worse, this was the world he lived in now...and if there was still one universal truth- something that not even the Merge could change -it was that during such calamitous times one either ADAPTED or DIED...having taken a moment to compose himself, he continued...
"Regardless of my skepticism to such theories, I'm in no position to ignore a potential source of Merge-immune magic...so I sent some agents to scope around the castle and similar Disney 'sites' to investigate the validity of such fringe-science..."
"And while there was some promising findings, it was nothing compared to what we found in the Maestros 'tomb'...even after the spell being lifted AND the merge...there was STILL magic in his broken remains! Although dead, they still fluctuate from human to pipe organ, back again and so on!"
He brings up a monitor showing Po the Dragon warrior using the technique he once used to thwart lord Shen's cannons to now -with some tweaks - thwart BULLETS...
"My initial theory was that this 'condition' revolved around the spell being set to return them to 'normal' after the Beast meet the conditions set by the enchantress...this of course opens the possibilities of various philosophical/technical loopholes...for many of my contemporaries would argue 'normal' can be rather subjective, especially these days. Indeed, it's become increasingly obvious that what reality, society or an individual considers 'normal' is as varied as the grains of sand on beach. So it's possible that all the 'energy' that was supposed to go toward returning him to human...instead helped him gain greater power in his current form."
"But I soon found this theory to be lacking. For one thing it's highly dependent on the assumption that 'conservation of energy' was both a thing on that world AND it's magic. And I've found ample proof from any pre-merge world that that was not always a given. But even if I could confirm that, it still wouldn't explain his magic surviving his 'death', the spell being broken AND the Merge!"
"Which, brings me to a new theory...while it's possible the above scenario might've given an initial boost...I believe that Forte's continuous abandoning of his humanity to accept his current state allowed him to adapt and refine his 'abilities' above and beyond the others of his 'kind'. In other words he pushed his limits and forced himself down a different thamaturgical branch of evolution...or to put it in layman terms: through his dedication, conviction, genius and misanthropic rejection of his former human limitations he'd managed to unintentionally attain ENLIGHTENED magic."
"I could do a whole other recording debating on whether or not the enchantress was simply negligent to allow the possibility of such a complication in her already convoluted plan, whether it was part of some 'scheme' of hers, or if Forte's evolution simply bypassed such countermeasures(11) ...but again, that's a discussion for another time."
He again looks as his experiments slowly but shirly...rebuild the 'corpse' that lay before him...
Before he could continue his audio recording, his mobile device- set to alert him of any key words/phrases in the news -sent him the latest 'buzz'.
Without looking up he motions to his idea men,"According to some of the party goers, one of the Pines twins was cloned. Find out how and report back," Reichter ordered.
"Don't waste your time," a young girl said as she enters the room with a full backpack.
"What have you got for me?" Reichter asked the young girl. She is one of his new minions, experiment 053 (AKA 'Babydoll'). Among other abilities, her appearance allowed her to blend in. (12)
"While everyone was distracted with the fight, I investigated. I took notes, equipment and anything else I could carry," Babydoll said as she opens her backpack and pulls out- among other things - the glass container with the red liquid and the crystal bulb.
"Good work Babydoll," Reichter said as he has the fix ideas take them to his lab for further research.
"Thanks... by the way, where's my Partner?" Babydoll asked.
"He isn't ready to come out of his tank just yet. Give it time and you'll be able to go on missions together," Reichter explains as he takes the items from Babydoll, accidentally bumping it-.
ZAP!
'Dipper', looked around. One second he'd been in the shack with Twilight and Mable around the copier, now he was...where? "What...where am I? Who are you people!?", he exclaims confused.
Being a practically a veteran to the strange and obscene, Reichter barely reacted to this oddity and quickly analyzed it's cause...
"Hmmm...seems it has a default setting to copy the last thing placed into it...interesting...Something to look into later. In any case, never a bad thing to have an extra test subject..."
"Wait! What? Hey! You can't-
Babydoll, bored, left the room as the newly minted clone was dragged away...she went right to the tank of her 'partner in crime'...and gave it a loving caress...
"Won't be long now...then we can be together..."
...In Space ...
Since the Merge, many new alien races and cultures have appeared throughout the universe.
With many galactic empires and other powers clashing, many have tried to stay on the sidelines till the dust settles.
While others who had more or less lost everything after or even BEFORE the Merge, had taken up hiding or reeking out a living as best as they could.
On a small outpost of a desert world- which was only settled for the massive amount of a scarce and volatile fuel source - In one of MANY settlements that sprang up around one of the drilling pits, a newcomer had came into town.
Spinel has been searching for the ones that Bill Cipher needed for his plan. Here she would find the first of many...
She walked past all the buildings till she reached the junkyard of the settlement, there she located her target.
In the pit was a shack belonging to the FORMER Queen Vexus and her ONLY remaining loyal minions Krakus and Smytus, who had been banished from their planet by her own daughter.
Since the merge both of them ended up on this planet to lie low due to the bounty on their head. Since then they've mostly picked through the leftover garbage and salvage the fuel to keep themselves powered up.
"Former Queen Vexus? ," Spinel asked, walking up to the two.
"Who wants to know?" Vexus asked, hand now secretly grasping a gun
"I'm here to offer you some revenge against that robot from planet Earth," Spinel said.
"Pull the other one! It has bell on it" Said Smytus, equally on alert for treachery.
"Ah, come on! Don't be like that! We can have so much fun together!," Spinel exclaimed happily.
"How? Giving us diabetes with your bubbly personality? How would you be able to help us anyway?" Vexus asked, eyeing her suspicious.
"By helping you to help me, to help HIM," Spinel explained while producing a gem that she'd made, allowing her new 'friend' to project himself into this realm easier.
"HELLO LONG, METALLIC AND SEXY," Bill Cipher said as he appeared.
"I'M HERE TO MAKE A DEAL..."
