Ok after I saw the Series Finale of Gravity Falls I thought of this multiple fandom crossover. SO just a warning there before you read this, along with his having OCs in it also. I put it under Gravity Falls because of the mysterious stone Bill Cipher that is some where in Oregon right now and that starts it all. I also want to say it is similar to another fanfic I wrote YEARS ago, but deleted off here because I just didn't like it anymore it was too much centered around love than the actual major plot.
So I also want to say I am not sure how often I will update this fic. It will most likely be a fic that I do in my spare time, but if you really do like this fanfic please comment (along with fave and follow) to tell me and I most likely post more of this often.
You know how when you were a child and you watched/read your favorite stories and you wished they were some how real? Well be careful what you wish for. It started in the summer of my sophomore year in college. I survived my first year and I was celebrating by taking a trip to California. Well, not exactly a trip I was staying the whole summer with one of my Dads friends son's Mica and his older brother Aaron.
His brother owned a coffee shop in San Francisco and since Mica didn't know what do with his life yet (though he was the same age as me), he was working there. It was nice idea to spending my summer in California though, I had to work at the coffee shop I was still not any where near boring Indiana.
But I am getting off track. It all started one day when Mica and I were going out for a weekend camping trip to Red Wood Regional Park past Piedmont. This was also the town Alex Hirsch grew up in. So I was excited to get to a glimpse of Alex's home town as we drove to the park. I was also excited because my friend Barry (we call him Bambi most of the time) was also going to meet us there. Bambi and I have been friends since I got to college and since he just got done being at a Ingress meet up I thought he could join us for some R&R before he had to go back to Indiana to work for the rest of the summer. I also played Ingress, but I couldn't got to the meet up because I had to work. So this was my chance for him to also help me level up since I was only at level 3 while he was a level 12 (level 16 is the level cap for you non Ingress players). Little did I know that this one trip would change everything.
"Come on Kara!" Bambi called me as we were walking down the pine covered trail. "We are almost to the portal!"
I had only stopped for a second to tie my shoe. "The portal isn't going to run away Bambi," I commented standing up and continue walking with them.
"True, but there are still predicting that storm later today," said Mica. "We need to get to this portal so we can get back without being caught in the rain."
"A little rain won't hurt any body," said Bambi.
"You may be a level 12, but you aren't lightning proof," I commented back.
"Oh don't worry we will be fine," replied Bambi.
"Yeah coming from the guy who is getting us lost," I said. I could tell even Mica looked a bit worried about where we were going and he lived here and knew these trails. So I was pretty sure we weren't on a actual trail. Though, at least the redwoods around us made pretty scenery.
"Are you doubting my navigational skills? I am an eagle scout and not only that a minisino," said Bambi. I raised an eyebrow as you look at his phone and see it glitching out trying to find our location.
"Yes, I am when the navigators phone is glitching out," I said as Mica then looked over at his phone also.
"So where is the path then, oh great leader," said Mica sarcastically. "I can't even recognize any of this and I live here."
"Well, uh," said Bambi looking around. I sighed as I began to look around too. We were near a field of ferns now with trees dotted across the area. The ground was still covered in red pine needles, hiding the path that could have been there. Then something caught my eye. It was a blur at first because of it being father away, but it almost looked like a stone trailhead. "I think I see something," I said starting to walk toward it.
"What is it?" asked Mica.
"It looked like a stone trail head, but I am not sure," I explained continuing to be drawn toward it. When we came upon it I couldn't help but squeal, not believing what we just found. In a small clearing there it was, the half buried Bill Cipher statue from the last episode of Gravity Falls. "It's Bill Cipher! Oh my God! I can't believe we found it!" I almost shouted.
"Bill Cipher?" asked Mica.
"It's a evil demon from a kids show," explained Bambi.
"Bambi take my picture of me with it!" I said taking out my camera from my fanny pack and giving it to him.
"So why is there a statue of an evil character in the woods?" asked Mica.
"Because in the series finale Bill Cipher turned his body into stone so he could get into the mind of one of the main characters so he could try to find the key to break a barrier that was keeping him from ruling the world. Long story short, he got tricked and was destroyed and his stone body was dropped from the sky and left in the woods," I continued to explain as Bambi took pictures of her with the statue "But at the end of the credits it showed that they put a real life statue someone in the woods in Oregon for people to find and everyone has been looking for it ever since."
"But… what you say is true, this can't be the statue," said Mica. "You just said it was suppose to be in Oregon and this is California."
I snapped back into reality at that point, because what he just said was true. This wasn't Oregon and I also realized how quiet it was. It was too quiet, there were no birds, creatures, not even the wind was blowing. It was dead silent. "I – I mean it is true, we aren't in Oregon, but someone would of have to lug this huge thing out here, who would be crazy to do that?" I asked.
"Well there are a lot of crazy people in the world, but I do have to agree it would be a real hassle and someone would been bound to see them," commented Bambi.
"I could be just a fake, some elaborate prank," said Mica.
"Well, that is just mean," I said as I then got a sudden chill down my spine… something was watching, you had no idea what, but you just had a feeling.
"You ok Kara?" asked Bambi.
"Yeah, but before we go, I want to take one last picture," I said going over to where Bills outstretched hand was. "You want to know how Bill gets inside peoples heads Mica?"
"Sure," said Mica shrugging a bit.
"You just have to let him in and shake his hand, like this," I said as I shook the stone Bill's hand. "I will let Bill Cipher inside my mind." I then smiled and looked at Bambi who took the picture.
"That's a good one," commented Bambi looking at the picture.
"Let me see!" I said, but as I started to release Bill's hand it closed up around mine. I gasped as I saw the statue move on it's own. I then tried to get out of his grip, but failed. "Guys! It moved! Its got me!" The statue then started to glow. "Help me!"
"We gotcha!" said Mica as Bambi and him went over and grabbed my arm trying to get it out. "How can a statue just move on it's own?!"
"I don't know, but just keep pulling!" said Bambi as sparks started to come from the statue like how lightning bursts from a cloud.
I started breathing faster and so did my heartbeat. My skin grew colder, while my vision blurred as I felt my mind being invaded. It was trying to make room for it's self, like a dog and a cat fighting over the same bed. Tears started to roll down my cheek, I kept blinking trying not to cry, which helped me see things a bit clearer. I started to see white tethers appearing out of thin air that seem to be connected to the statue. "What is going on?" I asked quietly my mind seemed to be burning yet frozen at the same time while the statue glowed even brighter. That is when I started hearing the laughing, twisted, joyous, high pitch laughter that I knew from heart and it made my heart stop.
The boys just then pulled my hand free from the statue's grasp and the moment they did there was a shock wave, which threw us to the ground. The last thing I saw was the tethers break and disintegrate in the air and the last thing I heard was that haunting laughter.
