Gravity Fusion -

In the Northwest manor the Northwest staff are busy setting up tables and bringing out plates of food out of the kitchen. Jeff the spider is crawling along the walls and ceiling hanging up banners. He isn't the only monster working for the Northwest as Preston Northwest had hired a bunch of the monsters to work for him. It's great PR for him to give the monsters jobs, not to mention his holding company being the parent company of the new WayneCorp, which deals in producing electronic devices from the transformers technology among others. A research center is being built between Orchid Beach City and Gravity Falls, which thanks to the Constructicons most of of the buildings are built with the smaller things like electrical and plumbing for the human construction workers to finish up. Then there's the equipments that are needed to be moved in. Mr. Northwest is spending millions for all of it and other projects but in the long term he stands to make billions. (1)

"I must say, the guest list for this year's party has so much diversity," Mrs. Northwest said looking over the list.

"Yes a nice mix of millionaires and billionaires, and some selected guests. With Mr. Wayne starting his company with ours being the parent company, we're getting alot of investors so this party needs to be prefect to impress them," Mr. Northwest said as he swats a servant with a newspaper. "Put the oyster fork at an angle! We're not animals, man."

"Now where the devil is...?" Mrs. Northwest was saying till she spots Pacifica in a lake foam green dress. She curtsies, before walking up to them. "Pacifica! What did I tell you about that dress? The theme is sea foam green, not lake foam green! Go change!"

"But, I... I kinda like it," Pacifica said.

"Mind your mother, Pacifica," Mr. Northwest said.

"But," Pacifica said but stop as her father rings a bell. "Yes, father."

The ground begins to shake, shaking the house and objects within. The Northwests and their staff stare and gasp. The shaking is so bad that Jeff fell from the ceiling landing in the punch bowl.

"Oh no! It's.... happening!" Mr. Northwest shouted out.

Furniture and dinnerware fly at the unfortunate staff members causing them to run away from the flying objects. The people within the shaking manor ducks or hides underneath tables.

"You are my possessions!" Mr. Northwest shouted as he swats a plate away. "Obey me!"

Which resulted in more things fly at Mr. Northwest. He screams and ducks underneath the table that his wife and daughter are hiding underneath.

"This is a disaster! The party's in just 24 hours!" Mrs. Northwest said.

"Surely there's someone who can handle this sort of nonsense!" Mr. Northwest said before looking at the front of a newspaper. Which has a picture of Dipper Pines warding off a giant vampire bat with a taser from Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland who are screaming and hugging each other, in a bell tower. "And I think I know just the person."

At the Mystery Shack -

It's been a week since the big battle and things have quite down and the rebuilding of the damage is happening. The Constructioncons are doing most of the rebuilding at a pace no human work crew could ever match not without hundreds of workers, working around the clock to do so. The Predacons have reached a truce with the Auto and Cons, with them getting their own planet as well, which caused a delay in the plan launch of a new Cybertron for each faction.

But right now, Dipper is sitting in the living room watching tv trying to catch up on his shows.

"You asked for it, you got it! An entire 48-hour marathon of Ghost Harassers on the "Used to Be About History Channel!" the voice from the tv said.

"Be strong, bladder," Dipper said as he pats stomach. "We're not gonna move till sunset."

"We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news!" Toby Determined said as the channel cuts to a special report.

"Aww, what?" Dipper ask.

"It's starting!" Mabel shouted as she jumps onto the armchair besides Dipper.

"Turn it up!" Candy shouted as she jumps on the other side of Dipper.

"Make room for Grenda!" said girl shouted as she jumps sideways in front of all three and breaking a lamp.

“Don’t forget me!” Molly McGee said taking a seat on the rug who has befriended Mabel and her friends.

“So what’s this about?” Libby Stein-Torres asked who joined her friend Molly.

The tv cuts to Toby standing in front of the Northwest Manor.

"Well tonight's the night, but I've been out here for days!" Toby said as the camera zooms out to reveal tattered and filthy Toby. "The Northwest family's annual high-society-shindig-ball-soiree is here! And even though common folk aren't let in, that doesn't stop us from camping out for a peek at the fanciness!"

"Ooooooooh!" the 5 girls said.

"Okay, can someone please explain why people care about this? Dipper ask them.

"It's pretty much the best party of all time. Rich food, richer boys!" Grenda said.

"They say each gift basket has a live quail inside!" Mabel said.

“That sounds cool,” Libby said.

“And cute,” Molly adds.

"Give me your life, Pacifica," Candy said as she paws at the tv screen.

"Guys, in case you've already forgotten, Pacifica Northwest is the worst," Dipper said scoffing.

A knock at the door got Dipper to get up to answer it.

"And that's not just jealousy talking. I'd say that to her face," Dipper said opening the door to see Pacifica in a coat, a scarf covering her head and a pair of sunglasses.

"I need your help," Pacifica said.

"You're the worst," Dipper said slamming the door causing the 5 girls inside to gasp. "See."

The door knocks again which Dipper reluctantly opens.

"Look. You think it's easy for me to come here? I don't want to be seen in this hovel. But there's something haunting Northwest Manor," Pacifica said as she takes off her sunglasses. "If you don't help me, the party could be ruined!"

"And why should I trust you? All you've ever done is try to humiliate me and Mabel," Dipper said.

"Just name your price, okay. I'll give you anything," Pacifica said.

"Yeah the party is a big deal for her and her parents," Jeff said popping up from behind Pacifica.

"Hi, Pacifica! Hi, Jeff! Excuse us!" Mabel said as she drags Dipper away by the arm. "Dipper! Don't you see what this means? If you help Pacifica, you could get us invites to the greatest party of all time!"

"What? Mabel, this is Pacifica we're talking about!" Dipper said.

"But it's Candy and Grenda's dream!"Mabel said.

"Dreeeaaaaaaam," both Candy and Grenda said starry-eyed, miming rainbows with their hands.

“And Molly and Libby are still new and the party be good for them,” Mabel said pointing to their two new friends. “Plus Molly can bring Scratch and Geoff who can help with the ghost.”

"Ugh. Fine! I'll bust your ghost. But, in exchange, I'll need five tickets to the party," Dipper said.

"Hrrn! You're just lucky I'm desperate," Pacifica said giving him five tickets.

"And what else?" Jeff ask her.

"And thank... you," Pacifica said not use to saying it.

"I knew you can do it," Jeff said hugging her.

"Not in front of him!" Pacifica cried out as she tries wiggling free.

"Wooo!" the 5 girls inside the shack shouted and chanting. "Des-perate! Des-perate! Des-perate!"

"Grenda, get the glue gun. We're making dresses!" Mabel shouted out.

The Sap Mine -

After the Homeworld gems left Earth the government quickly lock down the cave system and did a search through the mine. Which they discovered the Off Colored gems and the dinosaurs trap in tree sap, with a pteranodon already freed, which the transformers caught. The transformers are now helping in clearing out the cave of the trap dinosaurs finding different kinds from a tyrannosaurus rex, stegosaurus, gallimimus, utahraptor, triceratops, brontosaurus, and ceratosurus. Not to mention many ancient plants that have been preserved inside the mine.

"Where do we put these creatures?" Cliffjumper ask as he loads the last of the large dinosaurs on a flatbed truck.

"The Constructioncons are building holding pens for them," Arcee said.

"Mr. Northwest is funding a research center to take care of the dinosaurs," Airazor said.

"There isn't any place where these creatures could go to?” Tigatron ask.

“No there isn’t,” Arcee said.

"By the way how is Miko doing?" Airazor ask Arcee.

"She's still not... well," Arcee said.

"She's still hides inside Bulkhead?" Cliffjumper ask.

"Yes she refuses to transforms into her human mode and stays inside of Bulkhead when we finally get her out of her room. At least she peeks out now and then but only to talk and after that she just goes back to hiding," Arcee said.

"Are the XJ sisters helping her?" Tigatron ask.

"They help but she's scared of being outside," Arcee said.

"Did someone call?" XJ-9 ask who is helping in the transport of the dinosaurs.

"We're talking about Miko," Cliffjumper said.

"She is still recovering from what happen to her and your sisters have been a great help in her recovery," Arcee said.

"We do what we can, but as her mother you should be with Bulkhead helping her through this by being there for her," XJ-9 said.

"Me and Bulkhead aren't her parents," Arcee said.

"But you two used your sparks to give her one. That makes you two her parents," XJ-9 pointed out. "She's hiding inside Bulkhead because she feels safe with him. You should try spending time with her as well."

"Xj-9 we're not like humans. We don't have parents," Arcee said.

"But Miko is half human and you're the closest thing she has to a mother now," XJ-9 said.

"She's right," Big Mama said talking over the com.

"Big Mama?" Arcee ask.

"Miko's spark has traits from both you and Bulkhead. By organic terms you are her mother and Bulkhead is her father," Big Mama said.

"But if... that... would... mean.... me and Bulkhead be...," Arcee said as her mainframe froze.

"Oh great she needs a reboot," XJ-9 said as she watched the older bots try to get Arcee to response.

At the Northwest Manor -

The Pine twins and their two friends enter the Northwest Manor to see that the party was already underway. The party is bigger then the last couple of ones the Northwest family had, which is because of all the stuff that has happen around Gravity Falls. Not to mention WayneCorp which will be dealing with the technology that has come out from it. Which attracted many investors from all over to invest in WayneCorp, which the Northwest holding company is the parent company. Not to mention many who are Batman fans, which Bruce Wayne is still getting use to, being well known as he is in this world.

While Mabel and her girlfriends enjoying themselves at the party with the other guests. Dipper is with Pacifica, Scratch, Geoff, Korra and Tatsu searching for the ghost. Mr. Wayne having read the lips of Mr. Northwest talking to Dipper, ask that Tatsu would go with them, which Korra who is with Asami who are with Wayne heard too and tagged along. Korra having met spirits before wanted to see what this world's ghosts are like.

"Whoa," Dipper said opening the door to reveal a room with dead stuffed animal heads on the walls, paintings, a fireplace, and lots of dark wooden furniture. The whole room is lit by the fireplace and gives it a dark reddish light.

"This is the main room where it's been happening," Pacifica said.

"This does look like a room that a ghost would be in," Korra said creep out.

" Yep, this looks like the kind of room that would be haunted, all right. I wouldn't worry about it, though," Dipper said as he holds up the journal. "Ghosts fall on a ten-category scale. Floating plates sound like a Category 1."

“Yup this is a grade A haunt,” Scratch said looking over the room.

“Much nicer then the usual places, I use to haunt,” Geoff said. Since coming to this world he and Scratch no longer have to haunt and bring misery to places anymore.

"That journal seems to have much information in it," Tatsu said as she reads the page Dipper is looking at.

"Unless it's a spell book it won't help much to send the ghost to the afterlife," Pacifica said.

"Just gotta splash this sucker with some anointed water and he should be out of your probably fake blonde hair," Dipper said holding a small round bottle of water.

“What!” Pacifica snaps.

"Now, now just let him work," Tatsu said to Pacifica as Dipper uses a EMF detector.

"Water and the ghost just poofs away?" Korra ask.

"Different world remember," Tatsu said.

“That wouldn’t work in our show,” Scratch said.

Dipper walks further into the room, stopping before a tall painting of a lumberjack over the fireplace. The device loses its signal for a moment. Dipper taps the device getting the signal to return. He looks back at the painting, and the lumberjack inside has disappeared. Which he isn't the only one who noticed.

Tatsu grab Pacifica and held her close as blood began dripping from the ceiling. Blood swells from the mouths of the stuffed animal heads on the walls. The six shout in fear as the fire bursts out of the fireplace.

"ANCIENT SINS. ANCIENT SINS. ANCIENT SINS!" the animal heads began chanting.

“This is bad,” Geoff said seeing this is one of the powerful ghosts they’re dealing with.

Books, furniture, and antique weapons fly around Dipper and the others, and the chandelier above crackles dangerously. Then it seems that someone turn off the gravity as everything floated in the air for a couple of seconds before stopping, sending everything and the four falling back to the ground.

"What's happening?" Pacifica shouted out as Tatsu uses her phone.

"It's a category 10," Dipper said.

"That's bad isn't it?" Korra ask.

“Of course it’s bad,” Scratch said.

The bottle of water breaks causing Pacifica to grab onto Dipper.

"ANCIENT BLOOD AND BLACKENED SKIES. THE FOREST DARK SHALL ONCE MORE RISE," the animal heads chanted.

"Whatever is happening is happening all around Gravity Falls," Tatsu said as she called Bruce who told her that whatever is happening gravity seem to have been turned off as far the army base.

"Don't worry. It can't get worse than this!" Dipper said.

The fire flames up again, and the four humans hide under a table while a giant black skeleton emerges from the fire. A body forms around the skeleton of an enormous lumberjack with a beard made of blue fire and an axe in his head.

"I smell... A NORTHWEST!" the ghost shouted out as a axe materializes in his hand, begins dragging axe along the floor. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

“Hi,” Scratch said as he and Geoff tried to talk with the Lumberjack ghost.

“Uhh,” the Lumberjack ghost grunted turning to the two other ghosts.

“Listen me and my friend Geoff here were wondering what’s this haunting is all about?” Scratch said.

“Yeah all this stuff you’re doing is a bit much isn’t it?” Geoff adds.

"Read the book!" Korra whispers to Dipper as she watches Scratch and Geoff distract the new ghost.

"Here we go," Dipper said using a portable black light over the book, revealing the hidden words, 'PRAY FOR MERCY!' on it. "Aww, seriously?"

"That's bad," Tatsu said as anything that has you pray for mercy, is never a good thing.

"There you are!" the lumberjack ghost shouted lifting the table revealing the four humans.

Tatsu acted without thinking and did a somersault sending her feet first at the ghost, which had her phasing through him. She ended up on her back looking upwards as the lumberjack ghost brought down his axe on top of her, which she avoided by rolling away. Before he could take another swing Scratch and Geoff grab onto the Lumberjack’s arms trying to hold him. Korra tried bending on the ghosts but the fire she used did nothing to him and she had to stop it from burning the room.

"Tatsu get down," Alfred shouted as he burst into the room with a human size energon blaster. He fired several bolts at the lumberjack ghost who howled in pain as the energy weapon prove to effect the ghost body.

The world suddenly lost gravity again as they all floated in the air but for the 3 ghosts. The lumberjack ghost sent Scratch and Geoff flying away from him and he flew towards Pacifica grabbing her as she clung to Dipper grabbing him as well. Alfred held his fire not wanting to hit the kids and was knock aside as the ghost flew past him with the kids and down the hallway heading for the main room where the party is at.

!

Elsewhere -

Shego mutters to herself as she stood in front of the Mystery Shack which is the source of the strange power surges. Agent Powers sent her with a team to find out what's happening. Gravity seem to had just turned off before it came back on causing everything to fall back down. The bots pin pointed the energy coming from the shack, but a call from Tatsu from the Northwest manor about a Lumberjack Ghost attacking. And it seems to be the one causing gravity to fail around Gravity Falls reaching as far as the army base.

The only thing that worked on the ghost was Alfred's energon blaster showing that the ghost is valuable to energon base weapons. The team with her were recalled to deal with it, leaving her with a two agents to deal with Mr. Pines. As there's a report that his car was seen when 4 barrels of toxic waste from a government site.

Once they got to the shack they found Stan Pines car driving away at high speed. The two agents took after him, leaving Shego to wait in front of the shack. As she needs to wait for a search warrant to look through the shack. Shego sighed as she waited for the paper pushers to get her a warrant, reminding herself that she's doing it for the paycheck.

!

Northwest manor -

"NORTHWEST!" the Lumberjack ghost shouted as he held the two children as objects in the room floated around the ghost.

People were panicking as Alfred with the security guards did their best trying to stop the ghost while avoiding to hurt the kids. Alfred's blaster is the only thing that can effect the ghost but the ghost is using the two kids as living shield preventing him from firing. Both Scratch and Geoff tried to grab the kids but were driven back as the Lumberjack ghost swung his axe at them.

"Alright Mr. Wayne what do we do?" Mr. Northwest ask Bruce.

"Why are you asking me?" Bruce ask. He had already tried and the plate he used as a throwing weapon just went through the ghost.

"Haven't you fought against ghosts before?" Mr. Northwest ask.

"Nope," Bruce said ducking a flying chair.

"Well have you at least know how to get rid of a ghost?" Mr. Northwest ask.

"Till the ghost gets what it wants it will never rest," Bruce said as he pulls Mr. Northwest out of the way of a flock of flying silverware.

“He’s right that’s what happened in my show,” Molly said who is hiding with the other girls.

“Once the ghost has want it wants they will pass on,” Libby adds.

Mr. Northwest grunted as his mind race in what to do. He knows that the only way to get rid of the ghost is by opening the front gate and letting in the common folks in. And if he doesn't he would look bad in front of all of the people he had invited, not to mention the lost of face in front of Batman of all people. He stand to lose much if this goes on much longer, it wouldn't do to make himself look bad with so much of his money being spent.

"Alright ghost," Mr. Northwest shouted gaining the ghost's attention. "What will it take to put you to rest?"

"TILL THE PROMISE COMES TO PAST. I'LL NEVER SHALL REST!" the ghost shouted out.

"If that's all it takes you should had just said so instead of making a big scene," Mr. Northwest said as he walks over to the controls that opens the main gate and pulls it. Letting in all the people outside the gate inside.

"THE PROMISE HAS COME TO PAST," the ghost said as he puts back everything as it was, putting the two children down and then fading away as the townspeople came inside the manor.

"Dad?" Pacifica ask as she was helped up by Dipper.

"I know but if it keeps the ghost from doing anymore harm or damage it's for the best," Mr. Northwest said before going off to do damage control.

"What was that about?" Dipper ask.

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

"Dipper! We got trouble at the shack," Mabel said running up to her twin.

"What is it?" Dipper ask.

"We need to get back to the shack to prove Stan is innocent," Mabel said.

"Jeff can give you two a ride seeing how you did try to help," Pacifica said.

"Thanks Pacifica," Dipper said hugging her causing her to blush.

"EEW! Just go already," Pacifica said reacting as she pushes him away.

!

At the shack -

Shego was still waiting in front of the shack for a warrant when the twins showed up in a limo driven by Jeff the spider. She told them what's going on and that last night their uncle car was at a government waste site when a barrel of toxic waste was stolen. And she's been waiting for a warrant to search the shack, which the twins wanting to prove their uncle innocent let her in. Along with Jeff who wanted to help out, and Mabel pulled out the pair of I-glasses that came with the gift bag that allowed her to film what's going on to show Stan is innocent.

"Alright. If I was Stan, where would I hide those surveillance tapes?" Dipper ask as he looks on the bookshelf and in a filing cabinet of Stan's office.

"If he has to hide things means he's shady," Shego said looking around the office as Jeff crawls on the ceiling.

"Wait! The antelabbit!" Mabel said seeing a bolt on the Jackalope head mounted on wall.

"Don't you mean jackalope?" Dipper ask.

"Pfft, that can't be right," Mabel said as she fixes the jackalope's bent antler, and the wall turns open to reveal two old-looking TV monitors and a tape player.

"Wow a VHS player, he is old," Shego said.

"Yes!" Dipper and Mabel shouted.

"It's this week, this is it!" Mabel shouted out as she points to a tape halfway in the player and pushes it in.

Which shows earlier today Wendy, Soos, and Mabel in the Mystery Shack's gift shop, where Soos is doing the worm dance.

"Go! Go! Go! Go!" Mabel & Wendy chanted Soos on, on the tape.

"Someone yelled 'Wormy Dance.' We had to! Fast-forward," Mabel said seeing everyone looking at her.

The tape fast-forwards through several hours showing Stan restocking after Dipper and Mabel left for the party.

"Ha! There it is! Stan restocking the store after we went to the party. It's proof! He's innocent!" Dipper said.

On the tape, Stan sneaks out of the shop at around 6PM.

"Uhh-oh," Dipper said as he Fast forwards through till 7PM, seeing that Stan has not returned.

"Uh, maybe he's just going to the bathroom outdoors. The way nature intended!" Mabel said.

Shego stops the fast forward as before 8PM, Stan came back with a crate full of fireworks.

"Well looks like he's into selling fireworks," Shego said fast forwarding the tape showing Stan putting the fireworks away somewhere off camera.

Then a figure in a radiation suit wheeling 4 barrels of radioactive waste into the gift shop. The figure drop off the barrels and left before Stan came back from where he put away the fireworks. He was clearly surprise finding the four barrels of toxic waste in the gift shop. He went off camera and came back in a hazmat suit and taking the toxic barrels away out of the store.

"Oh no, Stan, you didn't...," Dipper said.

"Don't panic. That could be anyone in that suit!" Mabel said.

Stan on the tape, drops a barrel on his foot. "Gah! Hot Belgian waffles! Wait, I'm alone. I can swear for real! SON OF A--"

Dipper shuts off the tape as Mabel covers her ears. "That's him, alright."

"He didn't steal the barrels but it does look like he kept them and place them somewhere," Jeff said.

"Around the time I came here in time to see him driving off and just before the gravity was turn off getting me and some agents to be sent over," Shego said.

"Wait you mean when everything was floating?" Mabel ask.

"Wasn't it the ghost?" Dipper ask.

"That's what everyone else thought when we began getting calls of a ghost attacking the Northwest manor," Shego said. "The two agents with me went after your uncle's car."

"Okay, okay, so maybe Grunkle Stan stole some toxic waste. That doesn't mean he's leading a nefarious double life!" Mabel said.

Dipper pulls a box from under the TV screen.

"Mabel, I'm not so sure about that...," Dipper said walking over to the office desk and turns on the lamp, revealing a box full of passports and IDs.

Mabel and Dipper looking through the box.

"What? What is all this?" Mabel ask reading one of the IDs. "Stetson Pinefield?"

"Stan Forest," Shego said taking one of the cards.

"Standford Woods?" Jeff adds reading a card as well.

"Hal Forrester? Andrew '8-Ball' Alcatraz? These are fake IDs, Mabel! You wouldn't need these unless you were trying to hide your real identity!" Dipper said dropping the handful of of cards in his hands.

"That's right. Speaking as a villain this is something villains do to hide themselves or people who are hiding from their past," Shego said.

"But why would Stan do that?" Mabel ask as she picks a newspaper clipping out of the box, whose headline reads 'STAN PINES DEAD.' She passes the clipping to Dipper while having a shock expression on her face.

"WHAT?! Stan Pines Dead?" Dipper said reading the clipping.

"Foul play suspected in Pines' death. Fiery car crash, brakes cut... by who?!" Mabel asked.

"He faked his own death?" Shego suggested.

Dipper picks out another clipping that shows a picture of Stan. "Unnamed grifter at large? Why would they call him unnamed? Unless Stan..."

"Isn't...," Mabel adds.

"Stan?!" Dipper and Mabel said together. They turn around looking up at the portrait of Stan on the wall behind them.

"Take it easy kids," Jeff said seeing them worked up.

"Stan Pines is dead?! Then who have we been living with? It doesn't make any sense!" Dipper said.

"There has to be some explanation," Mabel said.

"I can't believe it. This whole summer I've been looking for answers and the biggest mystery was right under our nose," Dipper said.

Mabel digs through clippings. "Ugh, there's gotta be some kind of explanation in here somewhere. What the... "secret code to hideout?"

"Let me see that," Dipper said as he takes out Journal 3 and a portable black light. "A1, B, C3... I've never seen a code like this."

"Wait! I have! Dipper, it's the vending machine!" Mabel said.

"I guess it could be," Jeff said looking at the piece of paper.

"Well kids I got some news for you two. With Mabel broadcasting this online on her blog guide to life or something and the XJ sisters watching everything. They got the others involved at the base and the nerds look up your uncle and it turns out Stanford has a twin brother name Stanley," Shego said explains. "Who has a long police record."

"Stan has a twin brother?" Dipper ask.

"And he was drifting in and out of one state to another for years. It was his car that was found," Shego said. "So this is a classic twin replacing the other thing."

"So which uncle have we been living with?" Mabel ask.

"Well we just have to ask him then," Dipper said heading to the vending machine.

"Hi guys," Soos said as he stands in front of the vending machine.

"Soos what are you doing here?" Dipper ask.

"Stan called me that he's at the police station turning in some barrels of waste he found and being detain there by some agents. He ask me to guard this vending machine. And I thought I like snacks," Soos said.

"Stan is innocent of stealing toxic waste and he was just turning them in at the police station," Mabel said happily.

"Yes but we still need to find out what he's hiding," Dipper said.

"So out of the way big boy," Shego said shoving Soos to the side.

Dipper reaches for the number pad on the vending machine and enters the code. The vending machine swings forward, shoving them to the floor. All cough, then gasp at the secret passage behind the machine.

"It's like something from a video game...," Soos said.

"Or a dream...," Mabel said.

"Or a nightmare," Dipper said.

"Standard hidden passage way from my show," Shego said leading the way using her powers to light the way.

"My show was filled with them," Jeff adds from the back.

Riding down the elevator the party found themselves in some kind of high tech lab of some kind. And behind a wall with a viewing window is what looks like a gateway. Next to it is a generator being powered by the piece of energon Stan took.

"Guys, are we dreaming? Somebody wake me up," Mabel said.

"This can't be real...," Dipper said.

"I don't understand. Why would Mr. Pines have all this?" Soos ask.

"It's just like that bunker in the woods...," Dipper said.

"But what is it doing underneath the Mystery Shack?" Soos ask.

"Reminds me of way too many villain lairs," Shego said looking around.

"I didn't know there's supervillains in this world," Jeff said.

"Okay, okay, so he's got a huge gigantic lab. That doesn't mean anything bad! Everyone's got secrets!" Mabel said as she spotted a frame picture of her and Dipper on a desk, picks it up. "It's still Stan, and he loves us. And we love him. Right?"

"It can't be... it's impossible. The other two journals? All this time... all this time, Stan had them?! I can't believe it! Was anything he said to us real?" Dipper shouted as he kicks the desk. "Why would he have those journals?"

"Maybe he's the author," Soos suggested.

"Or his brother and he's just picking up where the other left off," Jeff said.

"Or maybe he stole them from the author! Maybe the reason he has all those fake IDs is because he is a master criminal, and this machine is his master plan!" Dipper opens each journal to the page with the portal on it, lays them accordingly, and turns on his black light.

"Whoa," Mabel said staring like everyone else. Her I-glasses getting it all with the transformers back at the army base decoding it.

Dipper began reading from the journals. "I was wrong the whole time. The machine was meant to create knowledge but it is too powerful. I was deceived, and now it is too late. The device, if fully operational, could tear our universe apart! It must not fall into the wrong hands. If the clock ever reaches zero, our universe is doomed!"

They all look at the countdown clock, now reading one minute, thirty seconds. Shego was on her cell talking to the bots about portal machine.

"It's the final countdown! Just like they always sung about!" Solos shouted.

"The bots told me the portal looks like a groundbridge but opens to another universe but isn't stable. It's being powered by energon so it won't be as bad as the author wrote it would be. Worse case is that it will take out a couple of miles around it if goes off. Best case it works as it does and opens a one way portal to here," Shego said getting off the phone.

Dipper flips through journal to a page reading 'MANUAL OVERRIDE'. "We have to shut it down!"

They all entered the portal room after grabbing 3 keys as ground begins to shake.

"There! Quick! Turn these, together!" Dipper said as he, Mabel and Shego turn the three keys, a device near the center of the room pops open to reveal a large red button. "That's it! The shutdown switch! This all stops... now!"

"DON'T TOUCH THAT BUTTON!!" Stan shouted as he stood in the doorway, panting. He managed to get out of the police station after explaining that he found the barrels and was simply taking it to the proper people to take care of it. And raced back to the shack. "Dipper, just back away."

Dipper's hand remains suspended inches over the button.

"Please don't press that shutdown button, you gotta trust me," Stan pleaded with him.

"And I should trust you why? After you lied to us all summer? I don't even know who you are!" Dipper said.

"And let us not forget turning on a unstable portal machine that can wipe off a couple of miles around it," Shego said.

"Look, I know this all seems nuts. I didn't turn on the machine but I need that machine to stay on! If you'd just let me explain...., Stan began as the ground begins to shake again. "Uh-oh, oh, no! Brace yourselves!"

They are all lifted off the ground and float toward the machine. All over town, things are lifted high off the ground. Powers screams as his car leading a convoy to the shack flies into the air. The night sky darkens and the moon appears red over Gravity Falls.

"T minus thirty-five seconds," a computer voice said.

"Wh-whoa-aaaah!" Stan shouted as he spins in the air.

Dipper screams as he Hits a wooden support and grabs on. Jeff hits some wires and got tangled in them. While Shego being press against a wall began to wonder if she should try blasting the machine but thought better of it as that could just set it all off.

"Dipper!" Marbel shouted still in front of the portal having her ankle getting hooked onto a wire over the stand the button is on.

"Mabel! Hurry! Shut it down!" Dipper shouted to her.

Mabel began crawling along the wire toward the button.

"No! Mabel, Mabel, wait! Stop! Aah!" Stan shouted trying to float to her but Soos knocks him away from Mabel. "Soos what're you doing?! I gave you an order!"

"Sorry, Mr. Pines - if that is your real name - but I have a new mission now! Protecting these kids!" Soon shouted as he grabs onto Stan.

"Soos, you idiot, let me go!" Stan shouted trying to free himself.

Dipper pushes off from the support beam, hitting Stan and Soos. "Go! Mabel, press the red button! Shut it down!"

"No, you can't!" Stan shouted as he shoves Dipper away. "You gotta trust me!"

"Grunkle Stan," Mabel said as she cries. "I don't even know, if you're my grunkle! I wanna believe you, but--."

"Then listen to me," Stan shouted.

"T-minus twenty seconds," the computer stated.

They all scream as the portal flashes and pushes Dipper, Stan, and Soos against the opposite wall. Mabel prepares herself to push the buttonbut stops hearing Stan's voice.

"You're gonna hear some bad things about me, and some of them are true, but trust me. Everything I've worked for, everything I care about, it's all for this family!" Stan pleaded to her.

"Mabel, what if he's lying? This thing could destroy the town! Listen to your head!" Dipper shouted.

"Look into my eyes, Mabel! You really think I'm a bad guy?" Stan ask her.

"He's lying! Shut it down NOW!" Dipper shouted to his sister.

"Mabel, please!" Stan pleaded to her.

"Ten. Nine," the computer counted down.

Mabel looking away and lowering her hand to the button, then looks at Stan.

"Grunkle Stan...," Mabel said looking at him.

"Six. Five," the computer continue to count down.

Mabel lifts both of her hands into the letting go of the stand, floating up. "I trust you."

"MABEL, ARE YOU CRAZY?! WE'RE ALL GONNA-" Dipper shouted but was cut off.

"One," the computer finishing the countdown.

Dipper, Stan, Soos, Shego, Jeff and Mabel all disappear in an explosion of light from the portal, as each of them screamed.

A flash of blinding light engulfs all of Gravity Falls. At the army base Big Mama brought up a force field as all the personal in the base stared at the light coming from Gravity Falls. Then, everything comes down to earth. The portal, now a mess of tangled wires and broken pieces of metal, glows bright blue. Mabel with the I-glasses still working could only stare along with the others at the portal, all wondering what will happen next.

A figure of a man emerged from the portal, wearing goggles and a scarf hiding his face, he's dress in battered and worn clothing. The blue light fades behind him. He walks forward, placing a six-fingered hand on the cover of the first journal, then picks it up and places it into the inside pocket of the long, dark coat he wore.

"What...? Who is that?" Dipper asked.

"The author of the journals...," Stan explains.

The man pulls off his goggles and lowers his scarf, revealing his face. He looks nearly identical to Stan.

"...my brother," Stan finished.

"The missing twin," Shego said realizing what happen to the missing Pine twin.

"That's a twist," Jeff adds.

"Is this the part where one of us faints?" Mabel ask as she and her brother Dipper shared the same shock expressions on their faces. Like everyone else watching the live feed of the I-glasses.

"Ohoho, I am so on it, dude," Soos said as he fell backwards fainting.

"WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL," a voice echoed in the chamber.

Turning around they saw a new figure standing in the doorway they all came in from. The figure is feminine in appearance, who is tall and slender, with longer then normal limbs. Who is dressed in a yellow tux that matches their pale yellow skin, with a black bow tie and tophat. They held a candy shaped walking cane with a sharp hook on top. Their bright yellow hair is triangle shaped and the only things strange with their face is the one single large yellow cat like eye in the center.

"A gem?" Shego ask.

"It's not a gem. I know that voice it's...," Dipper began to say but was cut off by the six fingered Pine twin.

"Bill Cipher!" the twin name Stanford shouted out.

"THAT'S RIGHT SIX FINGERS AND WHILE I LIKE THIS GEM PUPPET. I GOTTA TO HAVE MY OWN BODY AND TURNED ON THE MACHINE TO BRING YOU TO ME. AND NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE THE FUN CAN START," Bill Cipher said laughing mad.
