Dipper stretches in his chair and checks his watch, 8:30 AM. He stands up as Kalecgos walks into the Pines' TV room. Ford gets up from the table and pops his back, groaning.

"Whoa, Dipper how did you pull so many all-nighters two years ago?" Mabel asks, stretching and downs the last drop of Mabel Juice from her glass.

Dipper pours one last glass of the stuff, "stress and anxiety."

"That sounds about right," she says.

Wendy stretches, "well I'm ready to text everybody to start getting ready if you guys are."

Ford nods, "do that, also, tell them that when the sky turns red they're to make their way up here."

Wendy nods and starts tapping on her phone, "got it."

Jaina opens the back door, "the section that previously housed the horde mages has been prepared for the townsfolk."

"Previously?" Ford questions.

"I aligned Dalaran back to the Alliance. I discussed the matter with the Horde leaders and they didn't mind," Jaina answers as Soos walks in.

"Morning doods," he greets.

Everybody returns with a 'good morning' of their own. Stan enters the living room with groceries.

Jaina looks at the bag in confusion, "you know we have food there?"

Stan nods and is about to reply when the room goes greyscale. Ford knocks over his chair, Spots bristling and bearing her fangs. The Twins hold onto one another as an echoing, sinister laugh is heard.

"Show yourself, Cipher!" Ford yells.

Kalecgos readies his magic when Wendy grabs his arm and shakes her head, "it won't work, we're in the mindscape, he's the most powerful in here."

The unmistakable three sided shape of Bill appears, "WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL, IF IT ISN'T MY FAVOURITE FAMILY. OH WE HAVE SOME NEWBIES HERE TOO? WELL IN THAT CASE, THE NAME'S BILL CIPHER," he floats around the room, Stan scowling at him.

"Screw off Bill!" Dipper yells, standing defiantly against him.

"Yeah go away you evil nacho!" Mabel yells, standing next to her brother. Jaina appears to be chanting something, faint runes glowing underneath her hands.

Bill narrows his eye, "OR WHAT, PINE TREE, SHOOTING STAR?"

Kalecgos grins as Jaina almost finishes her chant, "you're about to find out, also nice try for attempting to distract us. But for once, time is on our side."

Jaina finishes her chant and the runes from her hands start to glow on certain points in the room, everyone blinking awake. They all run out of shack, luggage in hand and pets at their side.

Kalecgos looks at the calm blue sky, "hmmm, somethings not right."

The ground suddenly shakes, knocking everyone off their feet.

"What the heck?!" Stan says, voicing everyone's thoughts.

Kalecgos regains his balance quickly, "he must be attacking the other-side of this planet!"

Pacifica runs up the path, "are you guys OK?! What the heck is going on?!"

Jaina kneels down and grips Pacifica's shoulders, "Orphan, run into town and as fast as you can, organise the evacuation."

Pacifica nods and runs back down into town.

"Why would he waste his time attacking the other-side of the planet?" Stan asks.

"I can only make theories right now, Stanley."

"It's possible Sargeras told him about the corrupting powers of the Burning Legion. The main force of the Legion won't be here till later in the afternoon," Jaina says.

Dipper blinks a few times, "OK I must've blacked out a bit last night, why?"

Jaina looks at him, "the Infernals fall first, set up the portals and let the rest in."

"Poindexter, what's the average number in a legion?"

"The average for a Roman Legion used to be 5,120 legionnaires, although, I wouldn't be surprised if this Burning Legion has more," Ford answers.

Wendy looks at Dipper, "you doing ok there?"

Dipper nods after a thought, "I'm just...scared."

Wendy looks at the Gruncles speaking with the Azerothians and glances at Soos organising luggage for his grandmother. Wendy looks at Dipper as Mabel walks up, "Dipper I'm.. I'm scared too. Don't think about it, alright?"

Dipper smiles at his sister, "I'll try, although you know I'm terrible at that kind of stuff."

Mabel laughs a bit, "yeah you are pretty terrible at that."

Wendy lays on the ground, "uuuugghhhh this is going to open old wounds."

The Twins join her, "tell us about it."

They sit there, looking at the grass and trees for probably the last time. Pacifica runs up to Jaina and tells her that she made sure everyone is ready. Pacifica is holding her evacuation luggage as she makes her way to Wendy and the Twins. She pets Waddles.

"So, Dipper, Mabel, you've been there, how is Azeroth?" Pacifica asks.

Dipper thinks a moment, "well we first landed on what we now know as Durotar, it's desert, then we went into Northern Barrens, that place is mostly plains. Stonetalon Mountains was the next place, it has pine trees but it's still dry and hot. Then our last stop was Dalaran, located somewhere in Northrend."

Pacifica stares at him blankly, "you missed the point of my question."

Dipper finally realises what she meant, "oh, sorry Paz, it's fine. It's Gravity Falls but the entire world."

"You don't have a book on Azerothian creatures do you?" she asks.

Dipper shakes his head, "no, but Ford does."

Pacifica nods, "OK, does anybody want to admire the view one last time?"

They nod their heads.

Dipper checks his watch for the umpteenth time, it's only eleven and he sighs. Him, Mabel, Wendy and Pacifica have been laying in dirt and just watching the sky.

Kalecgos walks over, "may I join?"

Wendy waves calmly, "yeah sure."

Kalecgos lays down next to Dipper and looks up at the blue sky. He glances at the trees, "I mean no disrespect to your world or it's views, but the views on Azeroth are absolutely breathtaking. Even the sunsets on Dalaran, especially the sunsets on Dalaran."

"...Go on," Pacifica says, intrigued.

"Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!" the Twins chat, slightly happy.

Kalecgos chuckles, "OK, OK, I'll tell you. Now, what I say will not compare to the real thing, but the city and the clouds become this beautiful pink-amber with dashes of red, pink, orange and blue. Absolutely breathtaking, the Northrend chill doesn't matter at that point."

"Whoa, I need to see this," Mabel says.

Dipper nods, "I wouldn't mind seeing that."

"Mister Kalecgos, can you still transform into a dragon?" Pacifica asks, sitting up.

Kalecgos sits up and looks at her, "yes I still can, I only lost the powers that made me the Aspect of the now disbanded Blue Dragonflight."

They look at him blankly and he remembers, "right, right you don't know about all that. I think a history lesson should be in order when you settle in."

Mabel looks at him, "Mister Kalecgos? Could you maybe give us ride across Gravity Falls before we have to leave?"

He looks at her, "sure, and please, call me Kalec," Kalecgos stands up and brushes his pants off, "see if Penny Pincher and Golden Finger want one as well."

The twins have a mind blank before it clicks with Dipper, "oh you mean Gruncle Stan and Gruncle Ford?"

Kalecgos nods, "yeah, I'll learn names eventually."

Mabel runs up to a pacing Ford and a fidgeting Stan, asking them if they want a ride. She runs back, "they said they pass."

Kalecgos nods, walking away from the Shack a bit. There's a blinding flash of blue light that clears to show Kalecgos' dragon form.

He lowers his massive head, "hop on you four and grab a horn."

Wendy, Pacifica and The Twins clamber up his head and grab a horn close to his ears.

Kalecgos slowly raises his head and spreads his wings, digging into the ground and gliding down the valley.

"Whoa!" Wendy says, nearly slipping off of his head.

"Careful Wendy!" Dipper says, panicked.

Mabel smiles as she crawls along Kalecgos' brow to look down, "hey Dipper! The Manotaurs and Multibear are coming!"

Dipper crawls up alongside her, looking down, "huh, so they are."

Mabel carefully balances on Kalecgos' brow and pulls out a camera, snapping a few pictures before she accidentally drops it over Kalecgos's head.

"Dammit Mabel!" Dipper says as he watches it fall.

"Oh dear you lost your camera," Kalecgos rumbles out.

Pacifica does a double take, "wait you know what a camera is?"

"Of course I do, we have them. Lost two of 'em over the edge of Dalaran. One was Jaina's, she got hers back," Kalecgos says, "I wonder, do I have those pictures on me?"

Dipper gives Mabel a spare, "here you go Mabel."

Mabel takes it and snaps a picture of the Gravity Falls cliffs, "thanks Dip."

Wendy looks at Dipper, "dude where do you even keep those?"

Dipper grins at her and opens his vest to ten more.

Wendy blinks a few times, "right, that hasn't changed."

"Always bring spare cameras," Dipper says jokingly.

Everybody laughs as Kalecgos tilts his right wing and they glide back to the Shack. He slows his descent and lands on the ground, causing Stan and Ford to loose their footing. He lowers his head to allow Pacifica, Wendy and The Twins to get off. He turns back to his mortal form once they're off and walks up to Jaina.

"How was your flight?" Ford asks them.

"It was awesome! The view was pretty, I dropped my camera over his head, but with one of Dipper's spare cameras I snapped a neat picture of the cliffs!" Mabel says excitedly with a sad undertone.

Kalecgos walks over with the communications orb, "Nozdormu says we should have evacuated the town earlier."

Wendy takes the golf cart, speeding into town as Jaina opens the portal to Dalaran. Ford starts talking with Nozdormu as the townsfolk walk up the path. Ford gives the orb back to Kalecgos and starts whispering something to the Zodiac members.

Ford gets to the Twins and whispers, Dipper gasps, "he needs our help?"

Ford nods, "yes, now, help everyone through the portal, we go through last!"

"Single file everyone, keep all limbs inside the hole at all times!" Stan yells.

The Zodiac help the townsfolk through before going in with Kalecgos and Jaina. The frigid air of Dalaran greets them on the other side.
