Dipper reread the journal as he and his sister Mabel were preparing a trap for a demon spotted in the woods.
"The Ittan-Momen. Also known as the cloth demon. A long bolt of cloth that flies and wraps itself around unsuspecting victims smothering them. Take caution when encountering this demon."
Dipper turned to his sister.
"Okay Mabel, you got your sewing supplies?"
"Yup." said Mabel holding a sewing basket, "I even got a thread ripper just in case."
"Great." said Dipper, "I'll just mix up some bleach water and all we'll have to do is wait."
Dipper mixed up a tub of water with just a little bleach. They waited for some time. It was quiet, but perhaps too quiet. All of a sudden, a bolt of cloth snuck up on Mabel, muffling her voice.
"MABEL!" cried Dipper as he rushed to his sister's aid.
Dipper got out the tub of bleach water and threw it at the Ittan-Momen, but missed.
"Shoot! I knew I shouldn't have kept skipping gym class."
The other end of the Ittan-Momen grabbed Dipper and held him in the air as it tried to smother him.
As Dipper was about to take his last breath, he felt something start to cut the cloth. Both Dipper and Mabel fell to the ground and were astounded to see a long haired teenager with swords for arms amongst shreds of cloth. A younger boy ran over to him with wooden arms in his arms.
"Wow Aniki, you really did a number on that demon." said the boy as he inserted the wooden hands onto the teenager's sword arms like sheaths.
The young boy then looked over to see Dipper and Mabel staring at the both of them in shock and confusion.
"Oh. Hi!" said the boy, "I'm Dororo."
Dororo then pointed to the teenager.
"This is Hyakkimaru. He just saved you from that Ittan-Momen."
"D-does he have swords for arms?!" asked Dipper.
"That and other fake body parts." said Dororo, "Some demons took away most of his body and with each demon he slays, he gets a body part back."
All of a sudden, Hyakkimaru's prosthetic eyes popped out of his head, scaring Dipper and Mabel.
"Oh cool, his real eyes must be growing in!" said Dororo.
Hyakkimaru blinked a bit, adjusting his eyes to the light, when he started taking in the site of the three children staring at him and the woods that surrounded them.
"That's right, you get your eyes use to sight." said Dororo.
"O...kay then." said Dipper, "Well, we best be going."
"Dipper, don't be rude!" said Mabel, "We should show them around Gravity Falls!"
"Mabel, there's only so much weirdness I can take in a day." said Dipper.
"But Dipper, this is the first time Hyakkimaru is able to see; we should help introduce some new things to him so he gets use to his new eyes." said Mabel, "Besides, it's only hospitable to show our new friends around."
Dipper sighed.
"Okay, but lets try not to freak anyone out."
"YAY!" said Mabel as she went over to Dororo and Hyakkimaru, "Come on, you two would love Gravity Falls."
