"you and your sister are taking this extraordinarily well."
Dipper was driving the group back to New Monster City. Mabel had insisted on coming along, because of course she did. She had decided that she liked the four hitchhikers. She liked Frisk the best because Mabel said that she was adorable. Dipper believed it had more to do with the sweater than anything else. One thing he knew about his sister, no matter how old she gets she will never stop loving sweaters. He was lost in thoughts and hadn't heard Sans climb into the passenger seat beside him.
"Huh? Oh yeah." Dipper replied snapping out of his daze. "We have experienced way crazier things."
"such as?" Sans asked.
"We have faced living candy monsters, vengeful ghosts, gnomes, aliens, interdimensional reality warpers, an apocalypse of weird, take your pick. Monsters from under a mountain is nothing new. Besides, it is not my first time seeing all of you." Dipper replied.
"what do you mean?" Sans asked. He certainly did not remember meeting a stranger who studied the paranormal when they were freed.
"Few months ago. The weirdness around the mountain increased suddenly. I was on a nearby hill investigating and saw all the monsters emerge. Shocking at first, but I got over it quickly. Never did find what caused the spike though." Dipper responded.
"was it us?" Sans asked, now prodding for more information.
"No. if it was you, or any of the other monsters, then the weird sensors in here would be going haywire. Not even your ghostly friend is setting them off. That, I find...strange..." Dipper said trailing off into his thoughts.
That effectively ended the conversation. He did not like Chara at all, especially after the genocides… so much death. Frisk, of course, would not let Sans harm him, but that didn't mean he had to like him.
Turning back he saw that Mabel was playing some sort of game with Frisk. The twelve year old was happily enjoying herself. Flowey just looked annoyed. He assumed that Chara felt the same way as Flowey. Then again, maybe Mabel was including Chara. It was not so far fetched to think that she could see him too.
They arrived at New Monster City in short time. Despite being called a city, it looked more like a city suburb, with a small school. Mabel noticed that there were more monsters than humans walking around. It would have reminded her of Weirdmaggedon had the monsters not looked so friendly...except for the one eyed fish lady she saw on the sidewalk earlier. She looked more aggressive than friendly.
Meeting the group had gone well for her, she couldn't wait to meet more of the monsters. Mabel hoped they would be as nice as Frisk. She wasn't to sure about Flowey though. Sure, Mabel thought he was cute, he just made strange and threatening threats. The ghost boy tried to make himself seem scary, but Mabel thought he was nice, especially the way he protected Frisk. Mabel would have to ask why later. Mabel tried to get him to talk for most of the trip but it didn't work. He just looked at her with a sort amused smile. He was a little creepy.
The drive only lasted for a few minutes in the city, as they pulled into the driveway of a nice little house in relatively quick time. As they got out of Dipper's R.V., Mabel noticed that he was distracted. When Dipper was distracted he wouldn't socialize with anybody. it was like that when they were little and it still was like that today. She pulled him aside as the others went to the house.
"Hey bro bro, what's wrong?" Mabel asked getting straight to the point.
"He's back Mabel. I don't know how but somehow, Bill survived." Dipper said, worry evident on his face.
Mabel was shocked. Of course she and the rest of the guys back at the Mystery Shack thought they had killed Bill when they erased Stan's memory.
"How can you be sure?" Mabel asked as her face fell/ the two could never forget the end of their first summer in Gravity Falls.
"Great Uncle Ford showed me footage of Bill." Dipper responded.
They would have continued talking when out of nowhere a voice said "WHO IS BILL?"
Mabel and Dipper both jumped in fright. They looked and saw a smiling skeleton wearing what looked like armor, red gloves and a red scarf that flowed in a nonexistent wind. He was also quite a bit taller than them. They were about to respond when Sans showed up.
"hey bro. who you talking to?" Sans asked.
"I AM TALKING TO THESE TWO HUMANS. I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HEARD SOME TALK ABOUT A PERSON NAMED BILL AND WANTED TO FIND OUT WHO THAT IS." The skeleton explained.
"ok." Sans said. "hey guys, you want to come in?"
"SANS YOU KNOW THESE HUMANS? ALSO WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE BACK AN HOUR AGO!?" the taller skeleton said.
"yes papyrus, i do know these people. this is dipper and mabel. they are from gravity fall. dipper, mabel, this is my brother papyrus." Sans introduced everyone.
"Hi Papyrus. Sorry Sans but we need to get back to the shack." Dipper said.
"Oh come on Dipper, I'm sure that we can stay for a little while. Get to know some of the people." Mabel said almost begging.
"Fine, go ahead. I need to check something first." Dipper replied.
Papyrus and Mabel headed inside the house. Dipper got back in the R.V. Sans stayed behind with Dipper, intent on getting more information about the mysterious twins. He was about to ask a question when Dipper burst out of the vehicle and ran off toward the mountain.
Dipper couldn't believe it. His instruments had picked up the same weirdness spike from months ago. It was closer to the city, but still the same spike. He had to find it and it didn't take long to find its origin.
The origin was a small park in the middle of town, rather close to Ebbot. It was a simple park with a path that ran through the middle of it and flower beds pretty much everywhere. Dipper didn't pay attention to these details though as he was looking for whatever it was that caused the weird spike. All he knew was that it had originated from this park.
"Hello there." A voice behind called. "May I ask why you are looking through my flowerbeds?"
Dipper stood up and turned around. He looked up into the kind and somewhat confused face of a large goat monster. He was just staring at him waiting for an answer.
"I'm looking for whatever it was that caused a spike of weirdness in this area. I was able to track it to this park." Dipper replied.
"Spike of weirdness? Well I have no idea what that is or why you would be looking for it...or who you are for that matter." he said.
"Well my name is Dipper Pines and I am looking for it because it could be anything from something insignificant that was left behind to something that could change the world like a reality warping dream demon." Dipper explained.
"Well I haven't seen anything like that at all, I did find a strange skeletal hand earlier with some sort of drive in it. I am Asgore by the way." The goat monster now known as Asgore said.
"Nice to meet you, can I see the drive?" Dipper asked.
Asgore didn't say anything but brought the drive still clutched in the skeletal hand. Dipper took it and examined it. He had equipment in his R.V. that could examine what was on the drive.
"Do you mind if I take these?" Dipper asked.
Asgore nodded and said "Sure."
"Thank you, I will leave you to your gardening then." Dipper replied.
"Goodbye, Dipper." Asgore said.
Dipper ran back to the house that he dropped Mabel and the monsters off at. Once he got into his R.V., Dipper immediately plugged it into one of his computers. As the computer started up, it showed that the system had to update.
"Of course!" Dipper yelled at nobody in particular. " It just had to update now didn't it."
"computer trouble?"
"GAAAHHH!" Dipper shouted in fright. He turned around and saw Sans standing in the door of his R.V. "Oh, it's just you. Did you want anything?"
"yeah, I want to know who bill is." Sans said in a serious tone.
Realizing he had no way out of it, Dipper said "Bill...uh, is a...uh, reality warping dream demon. He is the one who you tried to look at his file earlier. I don't want any of that file missing."
"ok, would you like to come in, we were getting ready to eat." Sans offered "your sister has been very entertaining."
With nothing else to do, Dipper decided to head inside the house. He walked up to the door and followed Sans in. Walking in, Dipper saw Mabel being...well Mabel. She was certainly keeping the gathered monsters entertained with some of the more humorous stories from their first summer. It was an interesting gathering too. The two skeleton brothers were there, obviously, along with Flowey, Frisk and Chara. Also present was an older kind looking goat woman, the aggressive looking fish lady that Dipper drove by earlier, a nervous looking yellow dinosaur, and for a brief second Dipper thought he saw a third skeleton. He blinked and he was gone.
"...with my GRAPPLING HOOK!" Mabel screamed in delight pulling said device from her sweater pocket and raising it above her head, like she always did with it. when she did that she looked to the door and saw Dipper walk in. "DIPPER. You made it. Everyone this is my brother Dipper. Dipper this is Toriel, Undyne, and Alphys." Mabel pointed at each person as she introduced them.
Alphys gave a nervous wave, Toriel said hi and suppressed some laughter, and Undyne just sorta screamed at him for being a punk. Mabel must have also told them some embarrassing stories about him as well.
"You arrived just in time, Miss Toriel has invited us to stay for dinner." Mabel said with delight.
'What have I gotten myself into' Dipper thought as they headed into the kitchen. Toriel was serving a good looking pie with some sort of casserole. Dipper didn't really care to ask what kind of pie or casserole it was, he was too worried about Bill returning. Dipper barely caught the explanation Sans gave for why they were so late or the thanks that he and Mabel received for returning them.
After dinner they gathered in the living room of the quaint little house. Sans turned on the news, Papyrus was talking...yelling...with Undyne, Toriel was cleaning up, Alphys was watching the T.V. and Frisk was talking to Mabel about the house the skeleton brothers had back in Snowdin. It sounded like it was literally no different than this house, with the exception of a few extra rooms.
While sans was flipping through the channels a news report came on. Sans stopped flipping channels and turned up the volume.
"...it is unclear who is making these towers, or how they are doing it, but we do know that these terrorists will be caught. This is officially the fourth tower on record. There seems to be no discernable pattern between these locations, but witnesses have heard that there will be one more tower to be made." the reporter explained.
"Mabel, we need to go." Dipper said suddenly.
"What? Why?" Mabel and Toriel asked.
"I will explain on the way. Code W. Toriel, thank you for allowing us to stay, but we really need to go."
A look of understanding crossed Mabel's face, she said her goodbyes and hugged everyone because...Mabel. Once in the R.V., Dipper call Ford and told him the news. They had to prepare for Bill's inevitable return to the Falls. Their peaceful world was going to fall apart.
His minion had been doing well. The fourth task had gone off without a hitch and now the world was scared of what was going to happen next. Unfortunately what would happen next was going to be the worst part of the whole process. He needed three things, the first was for Bill to activate the final target, then an object that contained a part of him, and a body.
The worst part was the body. The rule with an incorporeal being, which included most reality warpers, was that they could only take a host if the host agreed to let them take their body. Not many people wanted to let him have control, although no one said that it had to be a fair agreement.
He already had a plan for the body and Bill was activating the final target. All he needed now was someone to get the object for him. And he knew just who to choose, after all, no one can hide in an empty darkness forever.
"I know you are here Gaster. I won't hurt you. I really can't. You should know, a reality warper can't warp reality with no reality to warp." called out.
Gaster knew he could not hide for long. He had hoped that Hedron wouldn't delete his data but the copy that he was able to get into the physical world would hopefully help. This was an opponent that could not be taken on by anyone alone.
"There you are."
An invisible force, quote unquote, grabbed Gaster. Turning around, the unstable skeleton came face to face with a strange sight. In the darkness was a bright purple glow with a black center, almost like an eyeball. It only stayed that way for a moment, due to it disappearing into the void. Then out of nowhere a face appeared. It consisted of nothing more than a mouth, eyes, and oddly enough eyebrows made of a dark purple fire. When he spoke the mouth moved as if it was actually forming the words.
"I told you that you couldn't hide."
In his own destabilized voice " Hello Hedron."
"Hello Wing Ding. Not the strangest name I have ever heard. You know we are both named after strange unorthodox things. You, a font of symbols, me a third dimensional geometric shape."
"Is this all or are you going to kill me?"
"Kill you. Gaster I am appalled, to think that I considered you a friend. HA. No, no , no. I don't want you dead. Quite the opposite actually. I need your help and as such I want to make a bargain. You want to be free, I need an object."
"What's the catch?" Gaster was wary, he heard the deal between Bill and Hedron and could find so many loopholes in it.
"I see you weren't made the royal scientist for nothing then. Well the object I want is simply under lock and key. A highly secured lock, and a mentally unstable key."
"What sort of object?" The words were coming out of his mouth, almost as if he were not the one saying them. Gaster could feel something strange about the presence of Hedron. Was this some sort of mind control?
"It is simply an object that is an impossibility in the laws of reality."
"Then how does it exist?"
"How else would an impossibility in reality exist? Reality must be changed to make it so. You should know that Wingy, you tried to change reality yourself and became an impossibility. I am a reality warper so I can make it so. Now do we have a deal, this object of complete reality impossibility for your freedom?"
"Deal." Gaster reached out one of his hands, specifically the red one to shake hands with Hedron. A burning purple skeletal hand appeared from the void and grasped his. With a simple shake the deal was made and a portal out of the void opened into Gravity Falls. Gaster went through. Upon entering reality, he regained his original form. A tall skeleton, dressed like a scientist but with a black lab coat instead of a white one. Seven extra hands were stored in his void space to be summoned at any time. The only things from the void that persisted on him were his memories and the cracks in his skull. The portal closed and he was off.
"Excellent. All the pieces are in place. Time for the checkmate. After all, things are only just beginning. I need a body, and suggestion is such a powerful tool."
