Hey my comets! So, I haven't really gotten any feedback on the idea I had to create a portal jumping series. Surprising because I thought a bunch of people would shoot it down, but since they didn't… I will create this series and see how many people hate it! Or love it. Warning, this first chapter makes little sense in the science aspect so I will try to clarify at the end of the chapter. Anyways, here's the first chapter of the all new series.

Dipper and Mabel woke up to a loud bang from downstairs. They looked at each other and got up to investigate. The pair walked through the hall to the gift shop, wondering what on earth was making such a racket. Mabel looked around the corner to find the vending machine thrown against the door and the hidden entrance to Great Uncle Ford's basement revealed. Dipper shone an electric lantern (Stan had started to sell them since they were much cheaper than flashlights) down the stairs in time to see a shadow turn to the left. The twins looked at each other, then collected some supplies; Mabel grabbing two grappling hooks and a baseball bat while Dipper picked up two boomerangs and a slingshot with several marbles (he had been practicing so he could beat Wendy at hitting the target on the totem pole). Then the pair went down the stairs

The pair went down the dimly lit stairwell to find the elevator still downstairs, causing Dipper to wonder what was going on. He turned to Mabel to say something, but the teen was already inputting the code to go to the very bottom floor. Dipper rolled his eyes but followed his sister into the elevator as soon as it came back up.

"Who do you think is here?" Mabel asked quietly as she looked at her stoic brother.

"Probably just Great Uncle Ford after some experiment exploded, that's happened before." Dipper replied trying to look confident when he really felt terrified.

"But, they usually don't knock the vending machine away from the door." Mabel pointed out as the hit the bottom floor.

"We'll find out soon enough." Dipper said as the doors opened to reveal a shadow standing over the control panel for the portal, which was beginning to glow with a blue light.

"Hey! What's going on?" Mabel called out to the figure who turned around. Dipper and Mabel gasped as they saw Old Man McGucket staring at them with yellow eyes.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Shooting Star and Pine Tree. What brings you here at this time of night?" The old man asked in a voice that didn't belong to him.

"Bill! What are you doing?! That portal was dismantelled to keep it from activating, the thing could tear the universe apart if activated!" Dipper exclaimed as he rushed forward to shut it down followed quickly by Mabel. The elevator closed and went back up.

"Spectacles here was kind enough to let me borrow his meatsack for tonight, and he's got the fingerprints to activate the portal in this state. Sixer shouldn't have made this activation point, but I can keep it from ripping your universe apart long enough to get rid of this!" Bilgucket held up a glowing sphere divided into 10 parts, each with a symbol on his zodiac of a different color.

Mabels eyes widened as she looked at the sparkling orb and went to touch it, "What is it?"

"None of your business, and soon to be so broken that it won't be my business either." Bill walked into the portal room, followed quickly by the twins, and threw the sphere into the open portal. Dipper and Mabel looked at each other in worry, wondering what on earth was going on. Suddenly, the elevator opened to show Grunkle Stan and Great Uncle Ford, both looking tired and worried but then shocked when they saw Old Man McGucket and the kids by the operating portal.

"What's going on here?" Ford shouted over the sound of the machines running.

"Seeya Sixer! Weirdmaggedon is coming and this time there's no way to stop it! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bilgucket cackled as Bill left the old man's body.

Ford ran over to his old friend, "Fiddleford! What happened?"

The genius looked at Ford, " I was lookin in the woods for my raccoon when I fell over a tree root and onto a rock thingamajigger. I grabbed it to get up and then I wasn't controllin my body no more. That Bill feller moved me to this here place and made me do some magicy stuff to make something and throw it into the portal. I'm sorry Ford, I couldn't keep him out of my mind."

Ford sighed, "It's alright Fiddleford, no one would expect you to keep that monster out of your mind when the rest of us couldn't." He turned to the kids who were looking at the active portal, "What happened with you two?"

Dipper and Mabel looked at each other, finally Dipper answered, "We heard a loud bang and decided to check it out, when we got down here, Bill was possessing McGucket and threw some kind of sphere into the portal." Ford's eyes widened at the mention of a sphere.

"What kind of sphere, describe it."

"It was all sparkly and had the zodiawhachamacallit symbols on it." Mabel said as she did jazz hands. Ford visibly paled at the mention of the strange object Bill had thrown into the portal.

"What was it Great Uncle Ford?" Dipper cocked his head slightly and furrowed his brow.

"That was the essence of Bill's zodiac; what gives the zodiac the power to banish him from our realm and the essence of his weakness. Without it, he is unbeatable; he will only need a way into our realm." Ford ran his hand over his face.

"Why would that isoscolese monster want to throw it into the portal? Oh, dumb question." Stan smacked his forehead as he tried to turn the portal off.

"Don't do that! The portal is stable for now, but the moment something changes the portal may become a black hole. And your question isn't a dumb one, just the wrong one. If even one piece of the zodiac is broken, his power would be halved, so the question you should be asking is: where would Bill want to send his zodiac's essence? It would have to be somewhere relatively safe, but dangerous enough that no one would go there without being in danger." Ford began to pace.

"Maybe I can help with that!" McGucket shouted as he slapped his knee and walked over to the console. He did some calculations until he finally cried out, "Aha!"

"What is it?" Ford rushed over to the calculations and a look of shock and horror crossed his face.

"What's wrong?" Mabel asked as she checked out the numbers in confusion.

"Bill didn't just send the essence into one dimension, he sent it into ten, separating it to send one piece in one dimension, and so forth. The Portal is already set to the first dimension, the portal to the next dimension should be in there somewhere. The only way to get them back would be for someone to go through and collect the pieces one by one." Ford stood thinking, then said, "I'll go." at the same time as Stanley.

"What do you mean? I've been to several other dimensions during the thirty years I was gone, you haven't been to any of them!" Ford said as he walked up to his younger twin.

"You aren't the only one who can handle themselves! I should go, you're the only one who has any way to protect everyone from being controlled by Bill, you have to stay!" Stan countered, crossing his arms and staring his brother down. This exchange went on for several more minutes, irking Dipper and Mabel.

Dipper rolled his eyes and looked at the portal, Why can't we go? Mabel and I could find the pieces with no problem, and probably faster than those two since there would be two of us. Dipper looked over at his sister and knew that she was thinking the same thing, so they ran to the portal and jumped in.

"Kids!" they heard Grunkle Stan cry before their heads entered the portal and everything went dark.

Dipper Gleeful sat silently in the strange forest of Gravity Falls, looking for places that Journal One might be when something hit him on the head.

"Ouch!" The teen cried, rubbing the spot where he was hit. He looked down to see a rainbow Tent of Telepathy sign inside what appeared to be a pie slice. What is this? Dipper thought to himself as he pocketed the oddity, it would be something to keep him occupied until Will broke and told him and his sister what they wanted to know. He headed back to town, grabbing the stone around his neck and covered his tracks with debris, showing no sign that he was ever near the Mystery Shack and the infernal Pines.

Soooo, how do you like them apples? I worked hard on this chapter and I hope that you guys liked it! Please give me some requests and ideas for the next chapter because I have very little inspiration for it. Ciao for now!
