Hey guys! I'm here with another chapter to this fanfic! I'm glad that you guys like the idea so far! Ok! On to the chapter!
Dipper watched as his grunkle disappeared behind the vending machine. He just stared there, shocked at his discovery. The boy then took a deep breath and headed towards the out of order snack dispenser. Maybe I should go get Mabel for this... Nah! I don't want to get her in trouble if he finds me.. The boy then punched the numbers and letters in the order he saw Stan press them in. Dipper stepped back as the machine started to shake and move towards the side. It finished moving to reveal a secret hallway and staircase leading under the Shack.
The boy stepped into the hallway and flinched as the vending machine slammed shut behind him. He continued to walk down the moldy, wooden staircase. The corridor finally came to a stop at an elevator. Dipper got closer, noticing another code receiver as well as an up or down button. He looked at the different symbols on the codes, suddenly recognizing the alchemy symbols from the time he was looking up the triangle for the town founder conspiracy. But which ones should I press? The boy took a deep breath and randomly picked four, hoping for the best.
The second to the top left, the bottom right, the second to the bottom left, and the top right button flashed as he pushed them. Dipper was utterly shocked when the machine flashed green in approval and the elevator slowly opened. He stepped inside, eager to see what Grunkle Stan had been hiding from them for the whole summer. He even promised to not have anymore bombshell secrets! Dipper watched as the elevator passed the numbers one, two, and finally stopped at the three. The boy almost fell down as the rusty contraption came to an abrupt stop. It slowly opened as Dipper took in his surroundings. Papers were flying everywhere, lightning flashed from somewhere to the side of the room.
Dipper gulped. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all... But I've gone too far. I can't turn back now! The boy cautiously walked around the hidden underground lab, trying his best to avoid all the flying objects. He inched closer and closer to the light source, and as he turned the corner, he saw Stan in front of a gigantic portal, his waist tied to a rope fastened to the wall. Dipper felt his hat start to tug at his head, threatening to fly off. He held it tightly, but it wasn't enough. The hat flew off into the distance and eventually into the portal. The boy then saw as Grunkle Stan immediately looked in his direction. Darn it! The hat gave me away! Dipper tried to stay as close to the wall as possible, not wanting to be seen. He could hear the crunch of dirt as his grunkle came closer and closer to his hiding spot.
Stan then turned the corner and stared at his grand nephew, disbelief shining in his eyes. "Kid?! How- why- what are you doing here?! You're not supposed to be down here! Do you even know how dangerous this portal is?! And where's your sister?!"
"What am I doing?! What are you doing?! You lied to us Grunkle Stan! You promised that their weren't anymore bombshell secrets about this town! Is this not what you'd call bombshell?! A huge gigantic portal underneath the Shack?!" Dipper started at Stan. The con man was just about to get back at Dipper with a series of questions when the ground started to shake, and the regular blue of the portal started to flash red. Dipper grew tense as he saw the fear form in his grunkle's eyes.
"Elevator! Now!" The boy started to run towards the elevator, while the grunkle tried desperately to stop the portal. Dipper then felt himself getting sucked back towards the portal, now a gigantic red mess.
"Grunkle Stan?! Why isn't it turning off yet?!" The con man watched helplessly as his grand nephew was trying to run away from the portal in vain. For every running step he took, it would suck him back three more. "Stan! Please help me!" The grunkle just stared there and watched as Dipper got closer and closer. He heard the cries and pleas, but he knew he couldn't do anything. It's just like thirty years ago... I couldn't save him either.. I was too scared.. "Grunkle Sta-!" A white flash emitted from the portal. The con man covered his eyes, shielding himself from the blinding light. It slowly dimmed down to show the portal back to it's normal, stable state and a lone pine tree hat in front of it.
"Dipper.."
