Alright, so I guess this is the one alternate universe that everyone wanted to see, so here it is! Hopefully I do this one justice, enjoy!

Transcendence

Prior to the events in Chapter 6

Dipper wasn't sure if the trip was causing him to hallucinate, or if what he just saw was the truth.

"Mabel," he blinked away the blurriness, "Did I just see a pack of goblins duck inside a school?"

"Yeah…" she answered, "I think you did." Dipper could feel her shift around in the sled and look around. "Whoa…"

"What's going…Oh…" Dipper stood and stepped off.

They had landed in what could still be recognized as Gravity Falls. They had landed on the roof of one of the buildings, maybe one of the local shops. From up here, the small town certainly looked…different.

"Look at the people," Mabel said in wonder, "What are they using?"

Dipper looked at them, most of them were looking at some kind of watch on their arms. Dipper spotted one girl with an open book with glowing characters floating off the pages; this didn't seem to grab any unusual attention.

"What is going on here?" Dipper wondered.

He then spotted a sign set up on the sidewalk like a neighborhood watch notice. It took him a minute to decipher the words from this distance, but he could eventually read it.

"Welcome to Gravity Falls," he read aloud, "under the protection of the Order of Ursa Major."

"Wait… you mean like…" Mabel started to worry. Due to his rather unfortunate birthmark, Mabel spent a night staying up and trying to look for as many positive outlooks on being stamped with the Big Dipper constellation. She also learned that the Big Dipper was also a part of the Ursa Major constellation.

"I don't want to be here anymore," Mabel decided.

Dipper looked back to the sled.

"We need a boost," Dipper told her, "And there's no real way to get momentum with the bobsled up here. Not unless we're willing to throw ourselves over the side."

"Hey!"

The twins jumped as they heard a voice down below them.

"Hey, kid!" he called again. "I know you're up there!"

Dipper hesitantly looked over at the teen below him.

"You two aren't gonna jump, are ya?" the teen asked. He seemed familiar, but Dipper couldn't place his face.

"Wasn't part of the plan," he called down casually. He spotted Mabel at the corner of his vision, pulling on the hatch that undoubtedly leads into the building below them. It didn't budge. "We, uh, appear to be stuck. I don't suppose you could, like, call the police? Or the fire department, or something?"

"Why not call the dude?" the teen asked.

Dipper looked at him oddly. Knowing how his day was going, the guy could be talking about Soos. "Uh, yeah, sure. Whatever, could you just call him and help us out, please?"

"Sure thing," he answered, "it'll be just a minute!"

He disappeared down an alley, out of sight.

"I've got a bad feeling, all of a sudden," Dipper admitted uneasily. "Did that guy look familiar to you?"

Mabel shrugged, unsure herself.

Dipper and Mabel waited a few minutes. They settled for sitting down and resting for a few minutes.

"So…" Mabel wondered, "Marvel Civil War…"

"Don't even start," Dipper smirked, closing his eyes and resting his head on the ledge. The last time this came up in conversation, they argued for an hour, dragging it throughout the entire Mystery Shack. It only ended when Wendy "exploded" into the argument with Soos, shocking the twins into silence, and then laughter at the realization of the ridiculousness of the argument itself.

"I'm not going into politics again," Mabel promised, "but I do wonder who would win…"

Dipper sighed. "Captain America," he then answered.

"Really?" Mabel wondered, "Iron man is genius, and he has Shield, secret agents, government resources…"

"Rogers has experience," Dipper argued, "with, like, actual war. He's a strategist, and most of the heroes back him up anyway."

"That's true…"

"Plus, he beats Tony in all the subtle ways. He's not going to go into a mission half-tailed and unprepared."

"Eh, fair enough," Mabel shrugged. "I'm still on Ironman's side, though."

"Because you think he's right, or because you still want him to be your boyfriend?"

"I can dream, can't I?"

"Careful of dreams," a voice behind them said, "They can turn to wishes. And if you're not careful, wishes can…"

The twins jumped up on their feet and spun around to the source of the voice.

"…they can come true…" the thing said.

They took a minute staring at each other. He was floating in the air over the ledge, dressed in nice black clothes. He had a top hat sitting lopsided on his head, and little bat wings on his lower back that stretched out three feet away from him. His eyes were black and yellow, erasing whatever theory Dipper had that this thing was human.

"Who are you?" Dipper questioned it. "What are you?"

The thing floated closer, circling around them and carefully observing them.

"That," he finally answer halfway through his first lap, "is supposed to be myquestion."

He completed the circle and continued to float around them slowly.

"I am known as Alcor," he introduced, "And you appear to be real, as far as I can tell."

The twins looked at each other. Why would he think they're not real?

"I'm Dipper," Dipper tried to introduce themselves, "And this is my sister Mabel."

At these names, Alcor froze, like time had just stopped around him.

Dipper cleared his throat as he realized what he was looking at. "You…you're a demon, aren't you?"

Alcor didn't answer for a good minute. He turned his head and took to answering over his shoulder.

"Yes," he answered, "I am a demon. The world's first, and only, benevolent demon. I make deals to help others the best way I can. Now, which one of my enemies sent you?"

"What?" Dipper said, "Why would-"

Suddenly, all the light in the world seemed to just disappear. Dipper felt cold, and he felt Mabel hugging his arm tightly. Alcor was in his face, his veins glowed red, his eyes burned with blue fire, and he seemed about ten seconds away from devouring them both.

"What are you?" the being demanded.

"Dipper!" Mabel screamed behind him.

"I know, Mabel," Dipper whispered, "I'll handle-"

"No," she said, hugging him tighter, "I mean…he's Dipper!"

Dipper looked at her, and turned to the demon. Alcor seemed to have calmed down some, sunlight was visible again, this darkness bubble of theirs was lifting, and he slowly returned to his "human" form. Alcor looked at his sister with…well, longing. He looked at her in a way that honestly scared Dipper. If that's the "Dipper" of this world, then what on earth happened to Mabel?

"Very few are privy to that information," Alcor explained, "Why don't you tell me what has happened?"

"Well, you see-" Dipper began.

"I was not talking to you," Alcor snapped, "Please, Mabel, continue."

Mabel cleared her throat and stepped forward between Dipper and the demon. She told him how they were first captured and sent spiraling to another world, and how they've been hopping from world to world after that, desperately trying to get back home. After a minute or two, Alcor seemed to brush something from his eye.

"Sorry," he said, "It's just…it's been a while."

"A while since what?" Dipper asked him.

Alcor ignored him. "Well, it seems all you need is a jumpstart. I'll help you with that…on one condition."

"Which is…?" Dipper questioned him.

Alcor acknowledged him, smiling. He materialized something in his hands, a box that displayed a group of kids playing a board game.

"Just one round," he promised, "and I'll send you on your merry way."

Well, there it is. I hope you enjoyed my interpretation of this universe, and I hope I did these characters justice. Thank you for reading.
