Hello! Before this story begins I will say a several words about it and myself.
I am not a native speaker. I am from Russia and (of course!) I am a native speaker of Russian. In Russian, I wrote a two works about Gravity Falls(234 and 346 pages)and one independent work(347 pages). Thus, I have the experience in writing. But I have no experience in English.
I have long wanted to write in English. And after all, I begun it! This work will be a test, and I'm looking for beta-reader.
I will be very glad for the advice and corrections.
A silent, dark night lay upon the Gravity Falls. Three years have passed after Weirdmageddon and Bill's death, but echoes of this event have not subsided.
At night, The Mystery Shack was strangely silent and quiet. Wendy and Dipper slept after hard day of walking on mountains and forest.
Silence was broken by the sound of heavy steps and curse in unfamiliar language. Wendy awoke first. Corduroy opened her eyes and saw the strange scene: in their room a rectangular portal has opened. Though it Wendy could see a bright lit room.
But here, in the bedroom, stood a young man. He was short and skinny, with brown hair and small bead on his chin. He was wearing dark, red, long greatcoat with leather straps and metal was holding a strange axe in his hand. The head of the axe was small, compared to its long, almost one and a half meter, handle. And it was ablaze!
"I come in time!" said the stranger.
Who are you?!", exlaimed Dipper, awoken at last.
At this moment another portal opened in the bedroom. It was a similar rectangular portal,but two people came from it this time. And to Wendy's surprise these two people were Dipper and Mabel.
But they were not regular Pines. They were dressed in clothing in blue clothes. And their faces were cold and cruel.
"Come! Come! Come little piggies!" cried the stranger, raising an axe and taking a step forward.
The other Pines smiled together, and raised their wielded two knives, glowing blue. And in Dipper's hand shone a similar, one-handed sword.
"Stop! Dipper cried, standing next to Wendy". But the strangers were already ready to fight.
The battle was very fast and brute. Faster than Dipper or Wendy could make it out. Stranger with an axe wounded Dipper's left foot, and moment later he knocked Mabel to the ground with axe's handle.
And then… Dipper and Mabel disappeared without trace or trail. At the same moment, blood, that fell to the floor disappeared as well. Then disappeared and the portal.
"What was it?", asked Wendy.
The stranger breathed in.
"Oh… it was close. If I was just a little late..."
"What?!" exclaim Dipper.
"Give me a second or two..."
This time, another Dipper came out of the portal. This one looked like the original Dipper, except he was a bit older.
"Oh! What you make for this once?" he asked the stranger.
"I am driven them away. Dipper is wouder."
"Who are you?! Tell me quickly!" Wendy asked angrily.
"Give me a chair" said stranger.
A few minutes later they all sat in the kitchen of The Mystery Shack. Trees creaked outside — a wind has brought a sudden storm. First roll of thunder roared outside already.
"We are..." Dipper begun, and stopped immediately.
"Cleaners", the stranger ended ."We are guarding our own version in the Alternate Universes."
"But... they were… us! Me and Mabel!" exclaimed original Dipper.
"There are many universes... Infinitely many, to be exact. ", the stranger shuddered. "And each creature has infinite other version of itself. Good, bad, the same, and so on..."
"This nerd is called Nikita." said older Dipper. "He is from Russia in another universe. And he came to Gravity Falls there in the Summer of 2012".
"Glad to meet you!" Nikita smiled.
Wendy shook her head.
"Wait! Those Pines that you wounded… they were a evil version Dipper and Mabel?"
"Yes. They killed four versions you, Dipper, and your sister day ago. We found them and caught up with them today" said Nikita.
"Now they are нас gone" added alternative Dipper.
"We named these version - The Reverse Ones."
"It is very… strange." after a minute of silence said Wendy. Dipper said nothing.
