DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN GRAVITY FALLS NOR AMERICAN DRAGON.


The Stan Mobile along with two other cars, the Northwest's limo and a rental, drove up a small dirt road about a few miles from Gravity Falls. The lead car flashed it's signal lights to the others, informing them that they reached their destination. The cars parked along side the road and the passengers the Pines, the Longs, the Northwests, and their friends got out and began unloading their supplies. "Ooh are we going on a picnic?" Mabel asked optimistically.

"No Mabel we're here to help Grunkle Stan!" Dipper snapped.

"I-I know that," Mabel mumbled shamefully. Despite her carefree attitude, Mabel is fully aware of the situation with Stan and Bill. However ever since Dipper came back from his expedition with Ford in the caves, he's been super serious. Even more so than during Weirdaggeddon. So she was hoping to help lighten the mood. Sadly it seems that her good intentions have had the opposite effect.

"So is this where we're going to take care of our (cough) little problem?" Preston asked.

"No, we still have to hike about a mile into the woods." Jake informed everyone.

"Then why have we stopped here? Why not just drive the rest of the way?" Preston demanded.

"Well for one thing there's no road leading up there, also the place we're going to can't be found." Lao Shi said cryptically. Naturally everyone was confused by that statement but they all knew better than to argue with a walking fortune cookie. The party followed the Longs into the woods. Pausing at random times so that Jake, Haley, and Lao Shi can study their surroundings. Mainly by tasting the dirt, checking for moss on trees, or by testing the direction of the wind. After hiking for about two hours, Jake signaled the group to stop.

"Are we finally here?" Preston groaned. As a man of wealth, he's not accustom to being on his feet for so long. The only reason he came along on this trek is to get revenge on Bill for stealing his money, and possibly find a way to get it back.

"Quite the opposite my good man. We are lost." Lao Shi confessed.

"WHAT!?" everyone screamed. With the exception of Haley and Jake since they knew this was going to happen.

Lao Shi waited patiently for them to get it all out of their systems before explaining. "If you're going to find a place that cannot be found, you can't go to places where you know where you are."

"Oh spare us the philosophical rhetoric Yoda! You got us into this mess so you better find some way to get us out or I'll sue!" Preston threatened.

"All in good time," Lao Shi said calmly. "For now let us deal with more immediate concerns."

"Such as?" Dipper asked eager to get this over with.

"Lunch," Lao Shi said pulling out Chinese takeout from his travel bag. "I don't know about the rest of you but I'm starving."

"WHAT!?" the humans all screamed again.

"What about Bill?" Ford asked.

"What about Bill?" Stan gasped all flabbergasted. "What about me!?" Stan demanded.

"Well we certainly can't do much on an empty stomach," Lao Shi said calmly as he proceeded to eat. The rest of the Long family began setting up a picnic. Leaving the Pines' family and friends feeling extremely confused, but they were hungry too so they joined in as well.

As the rest of the family ate, Haley and Majis went out 'playing in the woods'. At least that's what they told their parents, in truth they were searching for their destination. "Are you sure you can't sense it?" Haley asked her partner.

"Naga," Majis shook his head. Sniffing the air, Majis started growling at the trees.

"Who's there?" Haley demanded.

"Whoa, call of your...um...badger?" Stan unsure of what Majis is.

"He's a dog," Haley insisted even though she knows that's far from the truth.

"Yeah and I pay my taxes," Stan laughed. As a professional con artist, he can spot a lie a mile away. Not to mention that Haley's good girl nature makes his hard for her to fib with a straight face.

"What do you want?" Haley asked.

"I want to end it," Stan said with a serious face. Haley looked at him curiously. Stan reached into his pocket and pulled out the memory eraser gun he made.

"Is that...?" Haley couldn't believe it.

"Yeah it is," Stan confirmed. "I need you to use this to destroy my brain and Bill along with it."

"But" Haley feeling confused.

"Look, I don't want to do this, but I also don't want any harm to come to my family. A year ago we had a chance to beat Bill once and for all but because of my stubbornness we failed and almost doomed the world. I don't want to repeat that mistake. So please." Stan begged handing her the gun.

Haley was tempted. Boy was she ever. Even going so far as to pointing the gun straight at Stan's head. Stan stood silently as he took off his fez and closed his eyes so he won't see it coming. Yet despite the fact that she knew that this was the best course of action to protect the world, she couldn't do it. She couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger. Why, even she wasn't sure. Perhaps is due to her brother's principle of heroes never harming the innocent. (Not that Stan is in any way innocent) Maybe she's starting to feel a sense of empathy towards him and the Pines family. Or it's just that she doesn't have the resolve to make the difficult choices as she pretended to. What ever the reason, as she was struggling with her inner turmoil, Majis started tugging on her sleeve. "Hey! What is it boy?" she asked, thankful for the distraction.

"Ah! Ah!" Majis gesturing her to follow.

Stan slowly opened his eyes to see what was taking so long. Only to see the little girl running off with her strange pet. "Hey where are you going?" Stan wondered chasing after them.

Majis led the pair to a small clearing in the woods. Thank's to Haley's dragon senses, she could tell what it is that the little alien experiment found. "This is the place," Haley marveled.

"That's great," Stan snorted. "So are we doing this or what?"

Haley considered it for a moment. Even pointing the gun back at Stan's head before lowering it. "I'm sorry but I gave Dipper my word that I'd at least let him try way first before I do mine." Haley sighed sadly. Technically it was Jake that made her promise, even though she was against it, but for now it can serve as a valid excuse for not turning Stan's brains into mush. "But I'll hang on to this just in case," Haley insisted.

"Sure, whatever you say." Stan said sadly. He really wanted to end this here and now, but he can understand the girls reluctance to do this.

"Let's get the others," Haley suggested. With that the three of them returned to others.

From behind a tree, Jake and Lao Shi watched the whole ordeal. "Good job Haley," the two praising at how the young Dragon resisted the temptation to taking the easy morally questionable route.


After they cleaned up their picnic. The Longs and the Pines headed towards the clearing that Majis found. "So why are we here?" Dipper asked.

"This place is special. The ley lines here makes it easier to open portals to other dimensions. Not only that this is an isolated area. So we have less of a chance of having any unwanted witnesses." Lao Shi lied. While some of what he said is true, like how the ley lines converging at this point, that wasn't the real reason they are here. The truth is that much like Gravity Falls, this area is also a weak spot in the Veil. As such it is one of the few places on Earth where they can summon a being as powerful as Bill and hopefully, similar to how he and his friends were trapped in Gravity Falls during Weirdmageddon, the Veil will keep Bill from spreading his terror on the world. This is the plan that Juniper Lee suggested to Haley, and due to the fact that it involves the secret of the Veil, it is something they cannot share with anyone. "Alright let's get set up," he ordered.

Trixie and Spud began pouring a large amount of salt in a circle, at the same time Dipper trying to keep Majis from eating it. Lao Shi, Fu-Dog, and Sun were setting up some kind of alter while chanting in ancient incantations. While this was going on, Haley walked over to the Mabel. "You know there is still time to stop all of this," Haley whispered.

"What do you mean?" Mabel asked suspiciously. Haley silently pulls out the memory gun and shows it to Mabel. "Where did you get that?" Mabel accused.

"Stan gave it to me," Haley plainly replied. Shocking Mabel to the very core. "He said he wanted to end it quickly and with little suffering."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because from what I've seen, everyone in you family, especially your brother, for good or ill, tend to follow your lead. If you agree to do this, then Dipper and everybody else will agree to it as well." Haley explained.

Mabel was taken back by this. True she tends to view herself as the alpha twin, and is often the one who comes up with activities for people to do, (except when Dipper wants to go on a monster hunt) but she never thought of herself as the leader type! "So why are you telling me this? Why not destroy my uncle's brain if you think that's the right thing to do?" Mabel scoffed.

"Because I promised him that I'd let you guys try and save him first," Haley muttered. Thinking about her brother.

Mabel on the other hand believes that she's talking about Dipper. "Then I'd say, let him try!" Mabel decided.

"Even if it means putting the whole world in danger?" Haley argued.

"Especially when the worlds in danger," Mabel huffed with stubborn defiance.

Haley could only stare blankly at the strange girl. She couldn't tell if Mabel is being heroically stupid, or just idiotically ignorant. Given how she usually is, Haley figures on the later. "Fine, I just hope you can live with the consequences," Haley warned before walking away.

"I know I can," Mabel sticking her tongue after Haley's back is turned.


After everything was set up, Stan took his place in the center of the alter. "You guys aren't planning on sacrificing me or something," Stan chuckled nervously.

"That's one option," Haley accidentally said out loud. This prompted everyone to give the stink eye, so she bit her tongue.

"Don't worry Grunkle Stan we've got this," Dipper assured him.

"I know you do," Stan sighed sadly. It's not that he didn't have faith in his young nephew, it's just that he doesn't think that this will work. Stan glanced over at Haley, practically begging her to use the memory gun. Sadly Haley shook her head, telling him that she's not going to use it just yet.

"Ready Stan?" Ford asked his brother.

"No but I don't really have a choice do I!" Stan retorted. With that, the Pines family commenced the ceremony. Using the translation that Ford and Spud found in the cave, they all began chanting. After reciting the incantation for the fifth time, a small portal began to appear above Stan's head.

"Alright Dipper it's your turn!" Ford instructing Dipper to begin the next stage of the plan. Dipper nodded pulling out a another sheet of paper. Raising his hand, Dipper began chanting the banishment spell. Everyone held their breaths while still chanting as the ghostly image of Bill Cipher is seemingly being ripped out of Stan's head!

"NO! NO! I'm not done in there yet!" Bill pleaded trying desperately to crawl back into Stan's mind.

"I BANISH YOU FROM OUR PLANE OF REALITY!" Dipper casts.

"NNNNNOOOOO! I'm not ready yet!" Bill screamed waving his hands in the air as he was being drawn into the portal. "Just kidding," Bill laughed as his ghostly image started to solidify. His body still with several gaps After Bill fully manifested, Stan's body collapsed unconscious. The portal itself began dissipating upon the interruption of the ceremony. "Did you bozos really think it was going to be that easy?" Bill pointing his finger at the group and firing a beam of mystical energy. Luckily, everyone managed to avoid getting hit, and running off. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Bill yelled taking potshots at the people. Most of the adults including Ford, the Pacifica's parents, and Haley's parents were knocked out almost immediately. Those who were left standing hurried to find cover! Normally Jake and the others would dragon up, but they didn't want to risk exposing their secret just yet.

"What did we do wrong?" Dipper cried ducking behind a fallen log with Fu-Dog, Mabel, and Haley.

"Nothing, you did everything perfectly, but even in his weaken state, Bill is just too powerful for you to handle." Fu-Dog explained.

"AAAAHHHH! A talking dog!" Dipper and Mabel screamed. "Wait, why are we even surprised by this?" they wondered seeing as how this isn't the weirdest thing they've seen.

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm a talking dog." Fu-Dog brushed off. "Look you kids are way out of your league here."

Hearing this, Mabel turned to Haley. "What can we do?" she asked her dragon friend.

"Oh now you want my help?" Haley said sarcastically covering her head as dirt rained down on them. "What ever happened to I can live with the consequences?"

"Please," Mabel pleaded putting on her best puppy dog eyes.

"You're lucky that this is my job," Haley hissed. "Okay Fu-Dog, you work with Dipper to find a way to increase his spell." Fu-Dog and Dipper nodded. "Mabel you um...plan our victory party," Haley quickly thought up as a means to keep the girl out of the harms way.

"You've got it!" Mabel saluted. "But what will you do?"

"Unlike you, I'll be doing what I can to actually protect the world instead of endangering it," Haley snapped. Mabel didn't have time to respond or even process what she said as Haley was already running towards Bill. Bill smirked as he took aim. "DRAGON UP!" Haley screamed as she transformed into her dragon form. And she wasn't the only one. Jake, Lao Shi, and Sun, seeing as how their secret is already out, transformed as well.

"DRAGONS! AW MAN I HATE THESE GUYS!" Bill cursed trying to swat away at the creatures flying around and breathing fire on him.

"A Dragon! Haley was a real life dragon! Dipper did you know about this?" Pacifica spouted as she ran up to her boyfriend.

"Well yes but I..." Dipper gulped nervously.

"Dipper, you know that I needed a dragon for my monster bingo. Now some jerk in New Jersey have claimed the special commemorative key chain!" Pacifica whined.

"Sorry Pacifica, I promise I'll make it up to you...Wait! The prize is just a key chain!" Dipper feeling a bit confused.

"Not just a key chain. A special limited edition collectible from the GameCone Co. Winning that would have made me world famous!" Pacifica corrected him.

"Oh now I get it," Dipper groaned. Finally realizing that this monster bingo she was playing isn't a real search for real monsters, but rather just a promotion for the Chinpokomon Go game. So it's probably best that she didn't finish. Otherwise she would have been publicly humiliated for not only not finding said game monsters but for not even playing the actual game.

"This is all very fascinating," Fu-Dog interrupted. "But we do have an all powerful nacho to deal with!"

Pacifica stared blankly at the dog. "You know I should be a little more shocked at seeing an ugly talking dog, but I'm not."

"Hey! Who are you calling ugly?" Fu-Dog taking offence.

"Um Pacifica, we have a situation right now," Dipper reminded her.

"Oh right, carry on." Pacifica apologized.

Fu-Dog began mixing a number of different potions all the while helping Dipper with the proper pronunciations of some of the words to make it more effective.

As Dipper prepared to cast the spell, Bill caught notice. "OH NO YOU DON'T!" Bill growled as his eye fired a huge mystical beam straight at him.

"LOOK OUT!" Jake yelled as he dove in shielding Dipper with his own body!

"JAKE! NO!" the other dragons screamed in terror before unleashing more fire against Bill! Blinded by rage, the dragons did not see Bill's counter attack coming, swatting them down with his trademark cane! Now all the dragons were laying on the ground unconscious.

Not wanting to waste Jake's or the other dragons' sacrifice, Dipper prepared to cast his new and improved banishing spell on Bill; when Bill grabbed Stan's body and held it up in front of himself as a human shield! "You banish me, you banish your uncle as well!" Bill warned.

"What are you waiting for? Do it!" Pacifica screamed.

"I can't," Dipper froze in place. After all he and his family did all this in order to save Stan not condemn him. Thanks to Dipper's moment of hesitation, Bill made his escape. As much as he'd like to have his revenge, in this situation, weaken as he is, facing off against four dragons, and now another banishing spell! Considering all the circumstances, even he had to admit that retreat is the better part of valor! Bill flew up taking Stan with him when he suddenly hit an invisible wall. "What the-? Oh come on, not again!" Bill groaned as he tapped on the invisible obstruction.

"Ha don't worry, he won't getting through the Veil any time soon." Fu-Dog laughed.

"Veil?" Dipper and Mabel asked curiously.

"Yeah it's uh...a magical barrier that protects Earth from very powerful magical beings." Fu-Dog trying word it so that it sounds believable without giving away any magical secrets. "That's why we insisted on performing the exorcism here."

"So it keeps powerful being like myself from entering huh?" Bill repeated with a smug look on his eye.

"Uh-oh," Fu-Dog gulped fearing that he may have just given more info than he intended.

"So if I wasn't all powerful then I should be able to pass through no problem right?" Bill figured. They watched in horror as a few more of Bill's bricks detached from his body and reentered Stan's. Since Stan's mind still had more of his bricks, Bill figured that it can serve as a temporary bag. After removing about ten or so bricks, Bill started poking at the Veil; and much to his delight, Bill's hand pass right through it. "Hoo-Rah! I'm going to Disneyland!" Bill cheered, getting ready to leave with Stan in tow. With all the Dragons down for the count and Dipper unable or unwilling to use the banishing spell; there was no one left to stop Bill from escaping!
