Dipper was busy as he stacks the shelves with packages of candy, both him and Mabel are working for the summer in The Mystery Shack. The shack has tons of displays of things like the Ham-pire, a piece of ham with fake vampire teeth is on display. Which is just a con that Stan made up to lure in tourist, but he does have several items that are the real deal, like the flesh-eating blanket 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 when anyone sits on it will fart, a giant stone head that breaths and is wrap in plastic to show the breath on the sheet, a steering wheel from an ancient ship creaks, groans, and occasionally thunders. There are also 4 jars of red, green, blue, and yellow slime that all sing in a wordless, barbershop style harmony.

There is also the Dollar Bill vending machine that Stan gotten a hold of somehow. It has the upper body of an automaton of a man dress like in old times which can still talk and greet customers. There is even a kinetoscope that shows a Battleship Bay of a city called Columbia, according to the labels on the machines.

There was a number of buildings 25 in all that came from a floating city that fell out of the sky after the merge happen. Whatever was powering the floating, had flickered off like all the power did after the merge happen, with some of the more exotic power sources staying off. The buildings were picked through and was discovered it came from an early 1900’s world that had a flying city. Which Stan managed to get his hands on some of the items from there.

Like some Dimwit and Duke puppets still in the arcade machine of Flawless Flinklock that still works, some toys, a voxophone, and a big doll of some sort of birdman robot. A working Sky-hook in a glass case, alongside with a display of a dozen silver eagles which are real silver coins. There is also a display of fake coins, which the shop sells.

And a collection of Vigor bottles, Old Man Winter a blue bottle with the top being the upper head of an old bearded and bald man,

Ironsides a bottle shape like a ship,

Peeping Tom a green bottle shape 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 of the upper half of a horse with a cowboy riding on it.

Murder of Crows a blue and black bottle with a crow's head on top.

Devil's Kiss a red bottle shape like a female demon.

Shock Jockey a purple bottle with a jockey riding on a lightning bolt on top.

Charge a green bottle shape like a ram's head.

Undertow a blue bottle with a tentacle for the cork.

Return to Sender a bronze bottle shape like an ancient Greek soldier, which are all empty.

From what Dipper heard there's a big black market for bottles that still have something in them, seeing how they give people superpowers. He heard of ruins of a city underneath the sea, which is being picked through by salvagers and underwater races. The city couldn’t be rebuilt, it looks like the city’s main power station blew up and destroyed the entire city, combine with the saltwater and underwater sea creatures have damaged the entire structures that remained, the city was nothing but a ruin that’s only useful for salvage. But like the 25 buildings that fell out of the sky, there are bottles called plasmids that also gives people powers. Due to the city blowing up and being exposed to the cold sea, most of the bottles are either broken or the contents have gone bad. The few good bottles are worth more than gold, there are plenty of people trying to figure it how to make more of the stuff. Which after an underwater gold rush, the city has already been picked clean with only scraps and the rare find now and then. (2)

Mabel was busy out back feeding the live attractions that Stan managed to get somehow. One is a piranha plant that is as big as a sunflower which people pay to feed, the same goes for the Scampfire a spider like thing that is a living campfire that people pay overprice marshmallows to feed. There is a giant praying mantis the size of a large cat in a cage. There are 5 vampire fruit bats in a large walk-in bird cage, a jackalope in its own pen and an orthros name Frank who is a two headed dog all from Equestria who acts as the guard dog for the shack. There is also the strider the machine animal that Stan gotten into a pen and used to make the bio-fuel called blaze it makes from the plant matter it eats.

There are 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 helps and repairs the machines around the shack. 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 along with Protectrons. Because of them being radioactive they're a hot issue in having them around but because of how useful they are, they been rebuilt to be able to use the power cells of the machine animals. Of course, there are the rogue ones and older models that are still around, who came from a bad future where most of the world is a radiation filled wasteland. Dipper had no idea if the Mr. Handy Stan has is one of the older types or not, till Stan showed him that Rusty runs on a power cell. The Mr. Handy has the standard pincer arm, buzz-saw and torch arms. Stan has named the Mr. Handy, Rusty seeing how it was rusty till Soos fix it up by ordering replacement parts.

Stan has also showed the twins around town when they went into town for supplies. Since the merge and the close location to Equestria, Canterlot City, and people have been moving into the town for a cheaper place to live. There is alot of construction work being done around the town with new homes and apartment buildings being built. And with new people new stores and businesses are also opening around the region.

Brighton the town that merged with Gravity Falls, creating the town of Gravity Falls Brighton has also changed many things. Namely the ghosts that come visit from the ghost world with Scratch the new leader who has the ghost heroes Danny and Dani Phantom to keep the frightmares under control. Which has drawn many people to visit the town and meet up with the ghosts.

There is also the combine Gravity Falls mall and Davenport's Outlet Mall in the town which is also a big draw for people who drive along the highway to stop by. With the two malls next to each other it was turn into one of those big malls. Which also draws people from the nearby town of Peach Creek which doesn't have a mall.

Peach Creek is a suburban town that ended up next to Gravity Falls after the merge, consisting of newly built houses sitting on the edge of some larger town or city that can be seen looming away on the horizon before the merge happen. Peach Creek still maintains its suburban roots, with all types of greenery including the woods and the creek. Yet Peach Creek still has some traces of urban development, such as the junkyard, the construction site and the trailer park. It also has a downtown area with many highways leading in and out. Which the highways were either destroyed or became a part of the new highway that leads out of the valley, connecting to either Equestria, Canterlot City.

There is also the Maw, which is now like one of those mega blocks in those future sci-fi cities where it is like an entire city within one building. When it first appeared after the merge people didn't know what it was till, they look inside and found a horror show within. There were these sagging, gluttonous creatures that look human but were so big and fat. They attack and ate some of the first people who enter the Maw, causing the highway patrol and the local police to seal it off till a swat team could be sent to handle it along with the national guard. Which took a couple of days with all the chaos that was happening after the merge. By then the guests as they were called from the ship’s logbook called the creatures, had eaten just about everything and turn on each other.

A search of the ship found the owner of the Maw who was a tall slender woman who dressed as a geisha and wore a mask to hide her ugly face. She been dead for several days with no signs of how she was killed. Her personal journals revealed much of her world and what happens to the guests who board the Maw, not to mention the children that she brings on board. They become food for the new guests who come on board.

Searching the Maw and dealing with the remaining guests and the giant leeches that walk on two legs. They found the remaining children who still lived, as well as the gnome like creatures who are children who were transformed by the Lady. They also found the Janitor with both his arms cut off and had died of blood lost. An old woman was found in a flooded section of the lower levels, having been killed when a tv fell into the water she was found in while it was still plugged in. Shadow creatures with porcelain masks, who were wipe out by flashlights. A creature found in the shoe pit that was hunted down and killed. But for the two chefs they found no trace of them.

Once it was empty of dangerous creatures, the Maw become home to people that had nowhere else to go. A number of ghosts have made it their home outside of the ghost world. The Manotaurs a race of half man and half bull have also moved into the Maw, finding it manly. And there are female Manotaurs who are even bigger and stronger than the males, and only pick the manliest of them to become their husbands.

A clan of elves who are skilled in magic tech who also made the Maw their home have been rebuilding the Maw using robots to make the manmade island more livable. Some of it became living spaces while others became a factory where the waste and trash are sorted and recycled. Thanks to the recyclers they had gotten from the space station Talos 2, which breaks down the trash into material cubes. The organic cubes are shipped out with the mineral, synthetic and exotic cubes, or used as fuel for the furnaces of the Maw. Which powers the Maw and provides power to the power grid, which is how the Maw makes money, as well as waste management.

And with no one having claimed the Maw, Mr. Davenport was able to become the owner thanks to no one else claiming it. He became the owner of the Maw, which on paper is like a large apartment building. He did so to be able to keep up with the other rich family in Gravity Falls Brighton, the Northwest family.

Then there was Equestria that both Dipper and Mabel are interested to going and see for themselves. Not to mention that with the Camp Lakebottom grand opening for human and non-human children to learn to become friends with each other. There 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 an interesting summer after all.

"Dipper I need you to go into the forest and put up some signs," Stan said handing Dipper a hammer, nails and the signs.

"Alright," Dipper said grabbing the things he needs. But he wonders why he is 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 tired of those guys trying to barter or trade something like acorns and berries, or fish," Stan said.

"Yes Stan," Dipper said as he left the shack with something guiding him as if he had already walked the path long ago.

Walking into the wood Dipper began to hammer up signs in places that just seems to be where it did so before. 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 be together forever. He's been doing things by himself and spending less time with Mabel who wants him to be with her more.

As Dipper walk 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 the figure in the 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, where the summer camp is located at. He did spot a pair, a man and a woman who are dress alike but couldn't make out more, what caught his eyes was that they're dress as if they came out of the 1800's or something. He also spotted someone in a dark green suit walking away from him into the forest, and the only thing he could make out was the figure’s head that is floating over its body. Dipper just shook it off as with all the people and creatures that have appeared since the merged someone like that isn't out of place anymore.

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 truck till he found the hidden compartment that's been curved into the truck. Opening the metal door, he found a machine of some kind inside and he just flip 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 handprint on the cover, which had six fingers on it. He reached 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.

Canterlot Castle -

Sunset walk down the hall to greet the guests that have just arrived. With summer break Sunset could go back to important work instead of wasting time in school. Which said school has been merged with the castle resulting in some construction here and there to separate what's the school and which part is the castle. Which how much a mess the castle became with the school merging with it, 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 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 made 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 with only the ponies who were retrained by human standards allowed to have their jobs back. Which the royal guards are more of a security force then an army, as that's one of the things that needed to be cut so Equestria would be independent. Not to mention Sunset is investing in having a robot security force.

"Sunset," the pony Celestia said as she caught up with her daughter.

Celestia has been adjusting to life without magic or being able to move the sun around anymore. She woke up many times trying to move the sun when she remembered that she couldn't do that anymore. And the biggest change being that she no longer wore her crown as it now belongs to her daughter Sunset, who is nothing like the little pony she remembered. Which Sunset coldly told her that she is who made her into the person she is now.

"What you want?" Sunset ask coldly. 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," Celestia said. "Disbanding the army has caused much unrest."

"If any of the old staff want their jobs back, they just have to be retrained in doing them. The guards you had were just a joke. When is the last time they actually did anything besides cleaning up afterwards? The pony army isn't worth the money to have around, which is the reason why I disbanded them to help with the deals that, I made with the government to keep our independents. Besides the human guards I hired actually do their jobs instead of just waiting for someone else to do their jobs for them. And I didn't fired all of them, I reassigned some of them to other jobs," Sunset said.

"You have the Wonderbolts doing air shows for the tourists," Celestia said.

"And the remaining guards as nothing but for show for the attractions, while the real guards are behind the scene. What's your point?" Sunset ask.

"There are many who are now jobless," Celestia said.

"Being a mother to all of your ponies, just not the one that actually mattered," Sunset said. Causing Celestia to stop as she stared at Sunset.

"Sunset please, I wasn't the mother you needed, but the ponies are still scared of all the changes," Celestia said remembering how their first meeting with each other ended, with her in tears of losing any bond she once had with her daughter.

"And that's the reason why they need me to lead them. They're use and expect you to handle everything themselves, 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, having to stop using bits and using the currency that the rest of the nation uses. The only reason things haven't gone worse is how I been taking charge of things. I had to make so many deals I had to make just so that Equestria would still be as close as an independent kingdom as it is. Do you even realize how much of a mess that you left behind for me to fix?" Sunset asks.

"Many, I have seen the files that Luna and Cadance have shared with me," Celestia said.

"Knowing that the ponies wouldn't survive without a princess leading and telling them what to do. I had to make choices that you couldn't when it came to your little ponies. I managed to get us the status of a reservation so that we be able to have self-governance. I turn much of Equestria into a popular holiday spot for the nations of this new world. With how the farms aren't doing well, and the mines of gems and metals that we have aren't up to the standards of the other races that came with us, seeing how ponies grew most of the food and traded for the things they needed. 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. Including passing laws that strip away many things that the ponies once took for granted. Giving out land leashes to selling land so that hotels and businesses can be built, while forcing the ponies who use to live there out. But it's that or total economic collapse with us losing our independents like others who tried the same thing," Sunset explains.

"They fear you," Celestia said.

"What's your point?" Sunset asks.

"Don't you want to be loved?" Celestia ask.

"Pointless seeing how well that turned out for you. You cuddled the ponies and they’re very isolated and once they have to deal with problems that can’t be easily dealt with or just ignored, you seen the results," Sunset said.

"Sunset you spread fear with what you're doing and there's the selling off so many relics and artifacts. You have emptied most of the treasury and have been taking assets from ponies," Celestia said.

"You have any idea how much it cost to modernize a country not to mention the entire economy being based on farming, which was completely dependent upon magic to grow plants, which are failing by the way. Have to retool the farms that are left, hire people to teach the ponies to abandon their traditions so that they won't lose their farms and get them modern equipment’s that have to be custom made to be used by ponies? It was easier to just abandon that idea and go with tourist base economy, not to mention the debt I would have to burden future rulers with that would take hundreds of years just to pay off. It just cost less to go with making Equestria into a resort. Even with me stripping most of the junk from the castle and emptying the vaults, I still needed 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," Sunset said. (3)

"You're being a tyrant to them," Celestia said.

"I have to be the bad guy, the villainess to get things done around here. With how the ponies are like, I have to be to get them 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, seeing how the ponies use to have more rights than other races while under your rule. And it's only because of our human counterparts that we haven't become bankrupt yet, seeing how they're willing to give up things so that things won't become worse unlike your ponies," Sunset said.

"I was only protecting our subjects," Celestia said.

"And under the old laws the ponies always had more rights, always had their word have more weight, can 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 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 strip them of those rights as well as others, with this world unable to be controlled like the old one, the ponies are being fearful. Mainly because of how much of control freaks they are, Everfree forest is just a normal forest but is a nightmare and a place of evil because, nature there take care of themselves. Not to mention that cutie marks are how ponies tell what job they're suited for and they can't work in any other field but that, unless their talent isn't one that would allow them to work a job. Which now in a magicless world is meaningless, and I gotten rid of that old system and strip the nobles of their power seeing how they didn't do anything to help me or anything else after the merge. I can’t believe I actually wanted to takeover before the merge," Sunset said.

"They pester me to have their status back," Celestia said.

"As if that changes anything or you 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 for nobles who don't do anything," Sunset said. "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 of teaching Twilight. Being the trickster mentor, sending her and her ex-friends to handle problems. Like not even helping when Discord broke free, yes sending her all the reports did help her, but you did nothing else but that. And look what that got you. Her mental state was so mess up that once she saw you as I see you, it completely broke her view of the world around her, causing her to have a complete mental break down. Instead of putting her into a mental ward like I wanted to help her. You just gave her to her parents to look after her, which allowed her to escape and disappear," Sunset said.

"I know I failed you and her," Celestia said.

"Then stop trying to help and thinking that you have any say in anything anymore. If I didn't go and gotten the human police to help, the changelings would had taken over. For all of your talk of things like making friends, in the end you don't have friends, all you have is just subjects. Who you treated better than me who you should care more? But then again you banish Aunt Luna to the moon all by herself. So why should I ever think you could be a mother," Sunset said leaving Celestia in the hallway in tears again.

Once outside Sunset saw the bus with the Butterfly family. Star with her parents River and Moon, Eclipsa, her husband Globgor and their young 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. Looking at the frog children, Sunset remembered that two of them were conjoined by their heads but with some surgery, they're now separated 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 Atlantica, who is half mermaid and human. She's going to Camp Lakebottom and her grandfather King Triton ask Sunset to keep an eye on her. She hopes in being on friendly terms with his granddaughter she can stamp out a good trade deal with him. There is also Korra the avatar who unlike many still has her powers like the other benders, but she can't use the avatar state anymore, and Asami Sato both of whom are spending the summer here as a vacation. Both just wanted to spend some time alone with each other.

"Welcome to Equestria," Sunset greeted them as she walks up to the guests and give them the grand tour, she really needs to sell them a great vacation and bring in more people with deep pockets.

Camp Lakebottom -

The 3 original camp counselors of the summer camp, 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. All 3 of them are excited to have their summer camp having been remodeled and made bigger, as the summer camp for 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 privet funding; they hired more workers for the camp. There's David and Gwen who were camp counselors for their old camp Cambell. There was also Quartermaster the groundskeeper, but he wasn’t hired for being Quartermaster.

Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce who because of the merge ending up with their camp in the middle of Everfree forest with all the dangerous animals in it. Their camp was moved by the help of some unicorns who just carried the empty buildings and place them in their new home of Lakebottom, when the two camps merged together. And it was actually cheaper to just move the camp buildings of camp Everfree to Lakebottom than building new buildings.

There is also Mr. Slinkman who is a smart, nice and friendly banana slug who has legs and arms. He’s from one of those worlds where most animals are sapient and have humanoid bodies. He came to work for the camp after Camp Kidney was closed down, when the scout master of the camp, Lumpus was arrested. For not being the real scout master who he tied up and lock in a closet and was just a crazy guy.

There is also Huntress Wizard who after losing her magic and ending up alone in this world, took up using a real bow and is going to teach archery.

Then there's Bill the swim teacher who is a gillman who look like the creature from the black lagoon.

Violet who is a sphinx who is a cat woman with wings on her back.

Sam a pigman who is the camp's nurse.

Mesa who is a 20-foot tall treewoman who looks like one of the Ents in Lord of the Rings but has a woman's face.

Then there are some local teens of Gravity Falls working there for the summer, Lee, Nate, Tambry, and Thompson.

The camp is near the cliff face that a lighthouse appeared on, operated by a Maxine "Max" Caulfield who said that the lighthouse use to be in the town of Arcadia Bay, Oregon. Somehow she ended up far inland and the only one from her world to ended up in the merge. She still operates the lighthouse, turning on the lighthouse whenever there’s a storm or fog covering the lake.

The buses of campers are unloading all the campers which 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 brigadiers who have internal cryo-guns, a utility one and a guardian. There are also 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," Juniper said spotting 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 even with Jun no longer being the Te Xuan Ze still tagged along for research of the magic of Gravity Falls. Both of Jun's brothers 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 nonhumans that showed up after the merged.

"Hi Juniper, it's nice to see you face to face," Jake said 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 asks.

"You too?" Jake asks.

"Yeah," Juniper said.

"You guys are here to study magic?" Lincoln ask 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 asks.

"Yeah, that's us. I mean all he wore was a wig and contacts. I can't believe people in the City are that dumb," Ronnie said.

"Try being one of the few smart people," Dib said.

"You're Dip, Gaz brother," Spud said having seen her game videos online.

"Yup," Dib said.

"So, we're all here to see what's with all the strange magic here?" Juniper asked and got nods in agreement.

"Is it passive or spell casting?" Jody asks.

"Passive but some are spell casting but not the type of magic our worlds use to have," Fu Dog said.

"There isn't any spell casting magic left from our worlds. The only spell casting anyone can do from our worlds without harming them is now by using a spell drive," Monroe said.

“Well, there are other types of magic,” Dib said.

“Which a lot of former magic users are desperate to get. But it’s like putting your finger into an electrical outlet,” Jake said.

"We have collected magical items from around the world to see if the magic here recharges them," Clyde said.

"Or you can just ask the magical creatures of Gravity Falls," Lila said.

"Are there any sasquatchs besides Armand here?" Ophelia asks.

"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," Roger said.

"Wait how does...," Trixie began asking but stop as a bigfoot who is a bro and has a blog while living in a mountain cave isn't the strangest thing 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 twist and turn as the boy driving the cart avoided campers and camp staff. Till they came to Mesa who simply grab the cart and lifted it off the ground with the wheels spinning.

"Would you stop it," Mesa said to Dipper who removed his foot from the pedal.

"YOU ALL NEED TO RUN!" Mabel shouted.

"From what?" Juniper asks.

"GNOMES ARE COMING!" Dipper shouted.

You mean those little guys with the pointy hats? What's so scary about them?" Jake asks.

Bursting out of the forest came a giant just as tall as Mesa but is a giant body made up of bodies. The giant took the form of gnome, which is made up of hundreds of gnomes all holding onto each other to make the giant. 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, which the gnomes that made up the body simply open a hole in the form they made letting the giant tree woman to go through with them tripping her sending her falling to the ground. The protectrons and eyebots flew into action as they used their blasters set to stun on 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, as the giant gnome was knocking down the robots and camp workers. Juniper and the other kids seeing them in trouble came to their aid knocking the gnomes away.

Jake meanwhile transforms into his dragon form and began breathing fire at the giant gnome forcing it backwards as the gnomes avoided the flames. Till the giant gnome grabbed a log that's used for campers to sit on and used it as a bat 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 made up of gnomes loom over the children but stop as the gnomes that made up the giant, stop and stared at something behind the children. The children turn around to see a column of water raising out of the lake. The column transforms 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. All but Jeff who had jump off from top of the giant gnome as the giant water hand grabbed the others.

"Good thing I was here," Korra said 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 be staying at.

"That's one bad guy taken care of," Star said.

"No, it's not the bad guy," Mabel said.

"What?" Star asks.

"That was just the minions," Dipper said.

"Then who's the bad guy?" Korra ask.

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 turn from yellow to red upon seeing its target. Standing over 15 feet tall is the guardian of the fallen city in the sky Columbia, Songbird.

Seeing this Mesa got back up and put herself in front of the winged bird machine thing. She was joined by Globgor who grew into a giant got between Songbird and the kids, keeping him at bay as it faced off against two people who are as big as it is. Joined by the other camp workers and the robots.

"Someone explain what's going on?" Juniper asks.

"Jeff who, I thought was a zombie who was really just a bunch of gnomes dress up so that they could grab my sister Mabel," Dipper explains.

"And Jeff here," Mabel said pointing 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," Jeff said as the kids crowded around him.

"What for?" Jake asks.

"He's looking for a girl that he once protected but disappeared after his city he protected fell from the sky. He has been looking for her since and when he ended up here, he made his home in our part of the forest about a week ago. He forces us to search and find a young girl with brown hair with an outgoing personality and bring her back to him to see if she's the one he seeks," Jeff explains.

"And if I wasn't?" Mabel asks.

"Well, we're going to make you our queen by forcing you to marry all of us gnomes," Jeff said.

"Really? There aren't any female gnomes around here?" Jake asks.

"All this just so that Songbird can find the girl he's looking for?" Juniper ask.

"It's better than how he uses to do things when he was on his own. He just flew around till he spotted a girl who looks like the one he’s looking for and grab her and when it turns out it wasn't the girl, he's looking for he just drop her," Jeff explains to the horror of the kids.

"Wait he's the flying monster that's been grabbing and dropping girls?" Lincoln asked.

"Good it means I can do this," Huntress Wizard said as she had reappeared armed with a bow and arrows.

Huntress Wizard unleash an arrow at Songbird's head which bounces off its well armored head. Songbird gave out a screech as it attempted to fly but was tackled by Mesa and Globgor their combine weight kept it from flying. But Songbird proved to be strong as it sent Meda and Globgor flying by twisting its body side to side. The robots open fire on Songbird, their blasters still set to stun because of the children present, Huntress Wizard continue to fire arrows at Songbird aiming for its head and eyes. Songbird cried out as it flaps its wings knocking the eyebots out of the air before using its wings to knock the protectrons away.

Korra struck it with a jet of water, followed by lightning causing Songbird to jerk around. Songbird shriek in rage as it punches at Korra with its claws on its hands, 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 lit Songbird on fire but proved to be useless as Songbird is fireproof. But it allowed Globgor who has grown even bigger than Songbird to kick it into the lake. Which Korra created ice around Songbird trapping it in a block of ice.

"You think that stop it?" Juniper ask having stayed back as without her powers Songbird is way out of her weight class, without her powers to give her super strength anymore.

"Nope," Lincoln said as cracks form on the ice and Songbird burst out of the ice in rage.

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 flew over the crowd and tackle Songbird bringing it underwater. The water's surface bubbled as the 3 fought underwater, with an energy beam bursting out now and then.

Songbird burst out of the water trying to fly away when a missile struck it sending it falling again into the water. XJ6 came flying down from the sky and plunge into the lake to join the underwater fight. The water surface bubbled till it stop, with XJ6 with her arms wrap around Songbird and the two phantoms joining her in the air.

"XJ6 glad to see you!" Dib waved to her. He knows her through his dad who help improved 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," XJ6 said as she and the phantoms flew off to a government run 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," Mabel shouted.

"Listen why don't you gnomes find yourselves female gnomes? They be your size," Juniper said.

"But there aren't any female gnomes," Jeff said.

"Wait then how...," Trixie began asking before she realized what being the gnome queen really means which most of the other kids also realized.

"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," Jake said.

"There are?" Jeff asks.

"Sure, I can show you some dating sites," Fu Dog said.

"You mean as in using one of those computers?" Jeff asks.

"Oh man you guys really are isolated here aren't you," Monroe said.

"Hey, you two," Lincoln ask the twins.

"My name is Dipper and she's Mabel," Dipper introduced him and his sister to the group.

"Is this normal around here?" Lincoln asks.

"Can't really say," Dipper said.

"Yeah, we only been here a couple of days," Mabel said.

"At least things started off as an action pack one," Clyde said.

"Sure, a great start, we encounter a bunch of gnomes who have a queen bee thing and a machine birdman who drops the girls it grabs as it looks for the one it's looking for," Ophelia said.

"Yeah, but we now live in a world where things like that is easy to handle," Roger said.

"And XJ6 and the phantoms are here," Ronnie adds.

"There's that," Jody said.

"Hey Jeff, there has never been a magical guardian or whatever who kept the human and magical world in balance in your world is there," Jake ask said gnome.

"Nope there has never been anyone like that. We only been interacting with the humans seeing how there's no point in hiding anymore," Jeff said.

"Just great," Juniper said as she and Jake realize that they'll be the ones who are going to handle things like old times again.

Tartarus -

After Sunset gave complete ownership of Tartarus to the government, they made it into a Federal Supermax Isolation prison. Which is under the control of the government agency S.C.P. or Secure, Contain, Protect, who handle all the sapient magical beings and those with powers. Since the ownership change to the government, Tartarus has been expanded and upgraded with the most advance security system found in the different worlds that were merged together. Staff by heavily armed and armored guards, robots, turrets, force fields, cameras that can detect anything, and custom prison cells for special prisoners. Have created a prison that can contain just about anything and anyone in it to serve their sentence on the west coast. The complex is made up of different sections for different levels of prisoners.

The Intensive Treatment Center is a large facility located in the center Tartarus, the Intensive Treatment 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 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 whatever special abilities they have works. The state-of-the-art equipment’s and holding cells, allow the safe study on the prisoners. And see what could be gain from the studies, both in knowledge, technology and for 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 strip of their gear. Level 2 prisoners are the ones with powers and are kept lock 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 turn off and have to be kept in custom cells. Level 4 are the supernatural prisoners who even in a world with almost no magic there are still some who still have some of their old powers. Level 5 are the most dangerous and are kept behind vault like doors.

The Canteen is where Level 1 to 4 who are deem safe to be let out of their cells 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 rehabilitation is 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 is an area of Tartarus that is located in the Intensive Treatment Center and reserved for only the most dangerous of inmates or the ones who have powers that can't let them be around others. An almost inescapable prison, 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. (4)

"First time in Tartarus?" XJ6 ask Danny and Dani as they handed off Songbird to the guards of Tartarus in the Intensive Treatment Center.

"Been here before," Dani said.

"We were here when the ghost portal was ship here," Danny said.

"Why?" XJ6 ask.

"There's your answer," Danny said pointing to 4 ghosts who are dress as prison guards.

They are 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 where any ghosts caught are given over to Walker to be put in his prison," Dani said.

"Really for what?" XJ6 ask.

"Don't know what Walker is getting out of the deal but all the ghosts that are caught once put in Walker's prison don't get out," Danny said. 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, it’s just safer to give over ghosts to Walker where all of their powers doesn't matter in a place where everyone is a ghosts," Danny said. (5)

"And where 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 led 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 and even with the people in the control room yelling at you to stop you just started messing with the controls and laughing while you did it. And 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 snap 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 right arm and mom is still undergoing treatment for her burns. Both of them don't ever want to see you again and have disowned you, after seeing 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 of denial that she actually has to deal with the consequences of her own actions and that she caused so many deaths and that her parents have disowned her.

"Don't then, as you are not my sister or part of the family anymore," Dexter said as he finishes 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. (6)

"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 said.

"Phantoms," a guard said walking up to them. "Doctor Buck would like to talk with you two."

"Sure, lead the way," Danny said as he and Dani followed him.

Elsewhere in the complex -

At one of the terminals in one of the control rooms, Dr. Amelia Buck watch the cameras of the Phantoms siblings and XJ6 bringing in Songbird. It’s so strange being in a reality where fictions are real. Reagan Ridley her new boss was very surprise at the news that in her world, she’s the main character in a Netflix show Inside Job, which was canceled. Ridley had her team make a list that’s updated regularly of which worlds they know of that were merged all together, both large and small. (7)

Her teams are not only helping run the research center built next to the crash alien spacecraft and the prison she’s currently in, along with finding out why items from other worlds keeping showing up in this valley. Molly is at the research center seeing if it has anything to do with the alien ship, both Lawrence and Carson are looking around the valley to see what they could find. And Gustav is currently locked up in one of those prisons that is built in the middle of nowhere.

This whole valley is strange with how even before the merge happen, anomalies kept showing up in this place. There are also lots of triangles with one eye that keep on appearing in the valley from the time when humans first step foot on North America when there was a land bridge. Buck has a copy of one of the paintings the native Americans made on her wall of the strange triangle with one eye.

The non human races that live in the valley, all said that they were just attracted to the valley. The alien craft is the best guess to why things are just showing up in this valley, the alien body found is discovered to be the type that exist in multiple dimensions at once, and the ship even if it's millions of years old the power is still running, resulting in power surges, mutant animals, and cars flying off of roads. The researchers are still trying to find how to turn the power off.

The valley is also a weak point in realities, which allowed things and beings to slip in from other realities. The merge didn't help matters and now the valley is like a crack window that's letting the cold air outside to slip through the cracks. So far most people think that the reason for the wealth of magical items that have appeared in the valley is due to the merge with a large amount showing up here. Which Sunset Shimmer from the reports, is aware of and doing her best to keep a lid on things.

Buck knows that Sunset the ruler of Equestria, has been collecting items and paying people who brings her magic items. Discord has also been seen flying around the valley, which Buck guess to handle the more dangerous items that appear, giving Sunset a large collection of magic items, the technology that appears she gives out to the Wakeman lab to see what they could do with it. Sunset even has a different version of SCP-1609, still in its chair form that she uses as her office chair, and has many on display in her office. It’s not the only SCPs that showed up, the Mystery Shack has a SCP - 799 and SCP - 109 as attractions, with the conman running the place selling the water as Mystery Water. And unlike back in her old world, she can’t just have a team take them and mind erase the people.

After what the magical world tried to do in erasing the knowledge of magic from everyone that isn’t like them and the spell only working for awhile before it stop working and everyone remembered what happen, erasing memories is now grounds for being arrested. Not to mention people are now keeping records of what happen, both electronic and with plain old pen and paper. With other safeguards so that anything magical or MIB like devices won’t work.

Speaking of which the MIB that appeared became bankrupt like many other groups like them. With all the connections their group needed for the resources and funding gone, they suddenly found themselves unable to keep the lights on. Not to mention once the whole masquerading anything that isn’t normal was gone, the world didn’t go into what many people who uphold the masquerade said would happen, there were some but not at the level that they claim would happen.

The Zed of that MIB tried to justify the reason why they need to keep the masquerade. “Normal humans need our protection then we're here to stay. And, trust me, we'll make sure these dumb simps always need protecting.”

He didn’t realize that he was being record and had a truth spell used on him. Needless to say, the MIB lost all of its standing and the agents suddenly found themselves having to deal with no support or funding at all. Zed and the agents tried to regain control by force but was quickly stopped by the heroes and the US military. Resulting them killed off and the ones who weren’t killed lock away and forgotten. For all of their talk about protecting humans, it was nothing more than them being in control and when an agent is done and survived, they're mind wipe and dump as crazy homeless who no one believes. Not to mention that Kay of that MIB had a mind wipe teen to climb up a tower with a rifle and kill himself afterwards, to make sure there is no loose ends.

Buck learned that Zed and the surviving agents like Kay were all executed, to make sure that there be no loose ends. Which was told to Kay's face right before he was toss into a material recycler followed by everyone else in his group. To make sure they're dead, and they didn't had anything that could bring them back, destroying them on a atomic scale and turn into cubes. Thanks to them and the clothes on their backs being that only thing from their world, once they were dead there was no one else to worry about. Seeing how there's no one who cares about them in this new world and they made nothing but enemies. (8)

"Doctor Buck?" the guard who guided the Phantoms to the room.

"Let them in," Buck said turning off the terminal and face the Phantoms who entered the room.

"Hi you wanted to talk with us?" Dani ask.

"I'm doctor Buck a researcher with SCP and I need to get in touch with Clockwork the ghost of time," Buck said.

"Oh this again. You're not the first person to ask us to get in touch with Clockwork and like, I told the last woman I went to see him right after the merge happen. He has no idea what happen to cause it, or how to reverse it. He also tried to go back in time but only ended up going back in time for one of the worlds only," Danny said.

"Which world? Yours?" Buck ask.

"No the world that had the three girls going to that frog world, has a ghost world and the demon realm," Danny said.

"So that world is the one that all the other worlds merged together with and he can't go back in time for any of the worlds that were merged with this one?" Buck ask.

"Yes, I have no idea what Clockwork is saying when he explained things," Dani said.

"Well the next time you see him pass him the message that we still like to talk to him about what happen," Buck said.

"Sure," Dani said.

The picture of the cave painting the first people, watch as the two ghost heroes left the room leaving Buck by herself.

Author's Note

1 - The Columbia is from the bad future timeline of Bioshock.

2 - Rupture in the timeline here you the player fail to stop the city from blowing up in Bioshock 1.

And for the bottles of plasmids, like anything else they do have an expiration date where it just goes bad. Which is why you should never take medicine that is way pass due. And seeing how the bottles are underwater, like sealed bottles of liquor found in old shrunken shipwrecks they’re completely not safe to drunk anymore. But for a few exceptions like them being stored in a sealed compartment.

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 - 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.

5 - 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.

6 - 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.

7 - SCP Tale from the Foundation comes from a world where all the worlds merge together are all works of fiction like in real life. The expectations are Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House and The Ghost and Molly McGee.

8 - The MIB as they are in the comics, aren't good and are more into controlling everything on Earth then actually protecting people.
