A small little note, I suggest readers to read the whole of chapter one and two to get a grip of what's happening :D but as usual, enjoy!
"Oww.." Mabel winced in pain as her twin brother heals up her wound through a spell that he's reading out. "Recuperare Vulnere" Dipper slowly chants the spell, also while thinking out in his mind of just how did they ended up stuck at the bottom of a newly-found cave when they were suppose to be chasing a small, white, innocent rabbit his twin sister wanted to catch as a "companion" for her pet pig Waddles.
He then finishes casting out his spell, looking back at the gash Mabel has, right on her knee. The spell apparently did a pretty good job as it slowly sends smoke running up from the wound as it starts to heal. Mabel hissed out in pain as the smoke still comes up running. She looks around at her surrounding, also checking up on what Dipper is doing.
While she's looking around, Dipper checks up his surroundings to find that he couldn't see anything but rocks, rocks, and even more rocks as he check the hole they went through. He then turns back towards Mabel to check up on herself. "Hey.." Mabel looked up from her wound and shows out a somewhat hold-back smile while saying "Hey.."
Dipper looked down to her wound and asks worryingly "How you holdin' up?" which Mabel replied with a small smile "I'm kind of fine..." she looks up to see a relieved yet still worried Dipper as he puts up a weak smile and checks around the cave again. Due to the that they fell there when chasing a rabbit she wanted, she felt the need of apologizing "Hey Dipper... I'm sorry.." Dipper looks back with an understanding face, but with his softest voice he asked "For what?"
She twiddle her thumbs regretfully while Dipper sat down right next to her "Y'know for getting us into this cave... if I didn't have to like force you to chase that thing.. we wouldn't have been here." Dipper looked back noticing his twin's highly regretting face "Relax... it's not really your fault, if I had looked around better, we would've probably avoided this cave" Mabel looked back at him. Giving a warm smile in which he replied with another. Dipper though, apparently hasn't finished his sentence "Besides.. I'm pretty sure since we've kinda gone this far, Grunkle Ford would probably be looking for us-" his sentence was cut by a loud scream from none other than their Grunkle Ford "Dipper! Mabel!? Where are you two?" followed by some more screams from their other friends "Hey guys! The food's gettin' cold if you two don't hurry!" this is time it's coming from their redhead friend Wendy.
In notice of how close the screams are, Dipper instantly raise up to alert "Grunkle Ford! Wendy! Guys, we're down here!"
Meanwhile up above, Grunkle Ford seem to have heard Dipper's call "Boy where are you!?" but his question was soon answered on it's own as he failed to notice a small opening at the ground and just falls right through. The twins were caught by surprise as they suddenly see their great uncle slip through the gaping whole and landed right in front of them. Mabel just stood up in surprise of seeing their usually cautious Grunkle struggling to get back up to his feet alongside with Dipper's help "Grunkle Ford! It's great to see you join us here"
Grunkle Ford then let's out a few cough and dusts off his clothes "Thank you Dipper, but sorry Mabel I didn't seem to get the invitation to go down here.." Mabel let's out a quick laugh and looks around her once again "Speaking of the venue... what is this place?" Dipper checked his journal, but then soon was stopped by his great uncle "Don't mind checking the journal I've never even been here before!" as he himself checked the walls nearby.
They were then interrupted by the voice of Wendy "Hey dude! You okay down there?" she asks right at the top of the cave. Grunkle Ford looks up and yells back "We're alright here Wendy!"
Wendy then realized that he said we "Wait what do you mean by we?" the question was soon answered with two other calls "Hey Wendy!" "Wendy! You should come down here and check out the place!" she quickly brighten up "Dipper! Mabel! Why are you two there?" Dipper just screams back "Uuuh, it's kind of a long story" and right as he finished his sentence he heard another shout "Hey Soos! They're all down here" he heard more footsteps closing in and another voice "Dudes! Oh I'm so glad you both are just okay- Wait hold on, dude where you going-" he then was caught of guard with a glimpse of a flannel green slides down right in front of him, and in just a blink of an eye, his best friend redhead teenager is already standing casually right in front of him with a wide smile "Hey dork.." she says.
He let's out a sheepish smile and a bit shy as well "Hey..." Mabel just watches beside Grunkle Ford and squeals at how the two are sharing a moment "Wow you two definitely are the perfect couple.." Dipper just puts out a shy smile with beet red face. Usually he would deny to death about it, but now with some actually going on. He suppose it's all and all fine to let his sister gloat over it. He and his now girlfriend shares a bit of a smile before deciding to check around the surrounding cave. "Whoa what is this place.." the not so easily amused over nature teenager says when she discovers a glowing surrounding in the rocks and the also around the ceiling.
Dipper was as same amused as her "Yeah, kinda surprised that we didn't came here before.. it looks amazing" Grunkle ford then shouts out to Soos, who has been waiting for a call up above "Soos! I need you to tell Stanley that we'll probably be here for a bit, at the meantime.. can you fetch us a ladder?" he ordered. With no doubt, the casual handy man just replied "Sure thing Mr. Pines! I'll be back before you know it" he then walks away towards their camping spot, while the four at the cave, continues exploring.
Meanwhile up above, Soos came running back to their camping spot, with Grunkle Stan seemingly annoyed of the wait he was forcefully put through. "Soos! Where are the others? These beefs aren't gonna eat them selves are they?" with his usual short-mind, Soos just answers "Ooh, I'll eat them if you don't want it!" Stan just lets out a grunt and reminds his handyman "Soos! The question!"
Soos reminds himself of what the question was, and when it came to mind, he instantly piped out "Oh yeah dude, their like stuck inside a cave and they say they're gonna go looking around for a bit. Plus your other dude told me to fetch a ladder for them, so I'll see you later Mr. Pines!" he quickly slips away to right to the mystery cart he arrived on, and started up the engine. Stan was left fazed with his answer "Wait, Soos! Wait!" but it was too late as he saw the man drove away back to the direction of the Mystery Shack. He then heaved a heavy sigh and thought to himself, For the love of cash, what did you get those two into again Ford?
Going back to the situation at the cave, the four people there instantly went to alert mode after a hard vibration had cause Grunkle Ford's paranormal detector device to lit up. He himself is on full alert mode due to the fact that any supernatural, isn't a good thing to have for a family free time.
They continued tracing the source of the vibration, until finally Dipper gives out a loud whisper (in order to less trigger the vibrations) while pointing rather excitingly yet also worryingly "Guys, look there's something glowing down there!" they all gather around the big rock Dipper was pointing at, and soon discovers that there is another way down in which has a vibrant blue light pulsating out of the pathway.
After examining the trek, Dipper then gave a silent command to the other three to follow his lead. After going down a path that seemed treacherous yet surprisingly safe, they soon arrived at the foot of the cave and immediately are captivated and astonished by the view that had welcome them and seem to be awaiting them at that bottom part of the cave.
All four of them can only gasp as they discover a seemingly natural void, that's slowly pulsating and filling up the whole entire part of the wall, they were standing in front of. They all froze in amazement before Grunkle Ford then realize the type of situation they're probably going to face. In fast pace, he immediately took control of the situation "Everyone, stand back!" as he pulls out another device that seemed like a power calculator, the other three stood back, being on high alert towards anything that could happen.
Grunkle Ford couldn't seem to believe what he saw. The years he spent on investigating the odd mysteries of Gravity Falls, he never seen anything impulsed power anything like the void in front of them. "This is unbelievable, this is very near impossible to have occurred.."
Dipper on the other hand, is very much intrigue by what the void is capable of "I wonder what it's doing here.." Wendy just stood back "Beats me, but if I were you dude I'll probably just chill back.." and right as she finishes her sentence, a loud strike began to occur from the big void and suddenly, the void began to emit a force that instantly pull all four of them back, causing them to lose stability. Grunkle Ford then notices that the power meter becomes unstable and gives out a quick warning "It's starting to repulse, everyone get back now!"
They all then tried to make they're way towards the cave opening back. But then, a small thunder quickly took off from the portal and breaks the rock Mabel was holding on, causing her to lose her grip and instantly gets pulled. "Whoaah, guys help!" Dipper then notices her frantic cry, and without hesitation he quickly released of his grip and floats quickly to his twin sister's assistance, leaving Wendy flabbergasted "Dude, what are you doing!" she yelled in panic. Dipper then tried his best to grip upon a small rock while trying to maintain his hold on Mabel's hand.
A wave of panic swept over Grunkle Ford "Kids! Hold on there!" but due to the intensely high power of the void, Dipper was not one to hold on any longer "I can't... get a... grip..." he says as he used every last strength that he has to hold on. He looked up, to see the face of his Grunkle and girlfriend, completely horrified of the situation.
The void then released one more thunder, which took strike on Dipper's holding hand, causing him to shriek in pain and release his grip.
As he releases, the two others just stares in horror and screams out "Kids!" "Dipper!" he looked back and stares into his twin sister's eyes, as they are engulfed in a bright blue coat, not knowing what would happen as they're vision turns completely black.
Upon witnessing the two of his nephew entering the void, he felt the need to jump in. But as he was about to do the said thing, he felt a strong, reassuring tug at his shoulder. He looked to his left and saw the jade eyes of Wendy, seemingly pleading him to stay where he is. He then stops his act and watch with his heart falling through his stomach as his two nephew disappeared completely through the big black void.
After seemingly catching his prey, the void then decides to calm down and stops it's act completely and returns to the state that they first found it. Calm and peaceful. But after snatching two of his beloved ones, with one was a soulmate to her and the other is one of her closest dearest friends. The two could not help but stares at it silently, filed with hatred, rage, and sadness. But after some minutes of recompiling himself, Ford took actions of his own "Wendy.." the teenager sat next to him, stares him back with eyes almost about to turn into a waterfall, but tries her very best to hold it and chokes out "Y-yeah?"
Ford took one look at the void and confidently says "We're going to need to get to work.."
