Chapter 1: An unlikely alliance
Dipper flipped through journal 3, a large portion of it that he had thought to be blank, he now read through using a black light to see the invisible ink. He had discovered so many new secrets, but no secrets were stranger than that of the true dangers in gravity falls. The book told him of all the creatures hiding within in, some of them were very dangerous, and others were just a minor problem. He had been staring at the book for an hour and had not realized it. Then there was a noise from near the window. He went to the window to look, and standing there at edge of the woods was the last thing he expected to see, a skeleton archer, aiming a bow right for the window. He quickly ducked as the sound of shattering glass was heard. Mabel and Stan rushed up stairs to see the problem.
"What happened?!" Mabel asked.
"A skeleton shot an arrow through the window!" Dipper replied, freaking out that there were undead creatures trying to kill him.
"Skeletons? I had a bad feeling that they were going to show up eventually." Stan said.
"Wait, what?" Dipper asked, shocked.
"You see some of the stuff I have around here are sort of monster attracters."
"And you never got rid of them?" Dipper asked.
"Their good for business."
"Ugh, well how do we get rid of them?"
"No clue, they attract them, not kill them."
A banging sound could be heard downstairs, the three of them ran downstairs and sure enough a skeleton was banging on the back door, Soos and Wendy rushed into the room.
"What's going on?" Wendy asked.
"Skeletons are attacking because Grunkle Stan here has a skeleton attracting artifact." Dipper explained.
"Dipper is there anything in that book of yours to help us defeat zombies?" Stan asked Dipper.
"Give me a moment" Dipper said, thinking oh great what can I do to defeat a skeleton?
Dipper began flipping through the pages of the journal, the only thing he found was a single spell that looked like it would either ignite the skeleton, or throw it away from them. Dipper decided to use the spell.
"Wieugloka"
As Dipper said the spell, an invisible force pushed the skeleton away from the door, and shattered it against a rock. The sounds of undead shuffling closer could be heard all around, many of these skeletons were wielding weapons of some kind, in addition other creatures that were normally passive took advantage of this attack and decided to join in. gnomes, and zombies and wolfs ran into the clearing around the shack, ready to attack. They closed the door, and fortified the other entrances, this was all out war against the creatures of gravity falls. The creatures began to bang on the doors and windows, trying to find any entrance to the house. Grunkle Stan was standing next to a window and he was fortifying it when suddenly a skeleton burst through the window, grab him, and pulled him out the window and with the help of two other skeletons dragged him away. Dipper heard a scream, he ran into Stan's office and discovered that Stan had been taken. Creatures began to pour into the house through the broken window, Dipper closed the door but he did not know how long he would be able to hold the door closed. There was no one who could help him because the others were busy keeping the other doors closed. Then all of a sudden the last thing Dipper expected to see appeared, in a bright yellow light the dream demon bill cipher appeared out of thin air.
"What are YOU doing here?" Dipper asked with an upset tone.
"Why do you think I'm here pine tree? I'm here to help." Bill replied
"Oh please how can you help me?" Dipper replied sarcastically.
"Like this" Bill replied.
Bill lifted his hand, a green flame appeared in his hand, with a pine tree symbol engraved in it. He threw the fire at the door just as Dipper jumped out of the way, and the fire went through the door, and the banging on the other side of the door stopped. Dipper stared in disbelief, he had just gotten help from someone who had tried to kill him.
"Now then pine tree, now to why I am here." Bill said.
"Why are you here?" Dipper asked, now very curious.
"I'm looking for the ten on my wheel, and I happen to notice that half-moon just got kidnaped, now I would like permission to work with you, shooting star, ice, and question mark to get him and the others back from the creatures."
"Why don't you just go get them yourself?"
"Because there's a more powerful force behind this then me, so you are going to need all the help you can get. Do we have a deal?"
Dipper paused, he had no idea what to say. If I agree this could be helpful but if I don't bill might kill me and the others. Bill held out his hand, Dipper, now determined to try and find Grunkle Stan, Dipper took his hand.
"Deal"
