Chapter 51
Gravity Falls
Alexa's House
As Alexa walked up the sidewalk she saw Gregor's car in the driveway. She really didn't want to see him, but knew he would know if she tried get in and out without him him noticing. She figured she might as well head on in.
"I'm home," Alexa called as she walked through the front door. She quickly ran up the stairs and started to get dressed for work. Once that was done she headed back down and saw Gregor waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs.
"And where do you think you are going?", he asked as she came towards him.
"The same thing I always do on Tuesday, I'm heading to work.", she replied as she tried to make her way past him, "And you're gonna make me late for my shift."
"You don't need to go there anymore, I turned in your resignation in this morning. I have also am pulling you out of your school, I will be teaching you here. Both the school and the job are beneath you," Gregor said as he grabbed her arm, stopping her. He continued, "You never know what type of undesirable people you meet in such places."
"Are you talking about Joey?", Alexa asked as she turned on him.
"Among other's," Gregor responded, "I am your cousin and your legal caretaker while your mother is away. You are my responsibility and as long as you live under my roof you will do as I say."
"We'll I have news for you, I'm seventeen and I can make decisions on my own. I don't need you to tell me where I can work or who I can date," she came back as she shot him the same glare that sent the three girls who went after Thompson running with their tails tucked between their legs. Unfortunately it didn't seem to have fazed him.
"GO. TO YOUR. ROOM. NOW!", Gregor demanded.
In a huff Alexa turned and headed back upstairs to her room, slamming the door in the process. Frustrated she picked up her phone and first called her job to tell them she was coming back soon. Next she dialed Thompson.
Yumberjacks
Tambry and Tony were seated at the table talking, He had told her some of his and Francis' life on the run and his discovery of Parkour. She shared her experiences growing up in Gravity Falls and the fun living with a vegetarian mother and brother. All of this was done over two Yumburgers, two orders of fries that they piled together, and an iced tea for him while she drank a Pitt Cola.
"One of these days we'll have to go out for a run together, maybe I can show you a few moves.", Tony said as they were both reaching for some fries and accidentally grabbed each others hand.
"Oops, sorry. Go on," Tambry said as she realized what had happened.
"No, I insist. Ladies first.", Tony replied.
Neither of them had let go of the others hand as a guy in a Letterman's jacket came up to the table. Ignoring Tony the guy looked at Tambry and said, "Hey Tambry, I heard you dumped the grease stain. How would you like to go out with a real man now?"
"Look Sylvester. If you can't tell I'm already out with someone," Tambry said to the jock standing over the two of them. Tony looked at her as he figured out what she was saying.
"Really I thought you were babysitting," Sylvester said finally looking over at Tony and receiving a mean look. With a sneer of his own he continued, "So is this your little knight in shining armor you wrote about in your blogs? He really doesn't look like much more than an eighties reject, you could do much better. Like me."
"Look here you jack...", Tony started before a squeeze from Tambry's hand stopped him.
"I've told you this before Sylvester, I'm not interested in you.", Tambry said looking Sylvester straight in the eyes.
"Oh, you'll change your mind. Chicks like you always do. Just remember that when you dump the pipsqueak here, I'm be waiting. And believe me baby, I'll show you a real good time.", Sylvester said with a lewd gleam in his eye. He then turned and walked away.
With a shiver Tambry watched him go before looking over to Tony as he watched Sylvester walk away. While she saw the anger in Tony's face, there also seemed to be something more there. It was like he didn't even seem to mind that the jerk had just insulted him twice, he seemed more worried about what was said to her.
"If that guy ever comes near you let me know," Tony finally said after he saw Sylvester leave the restaurant, "I will have him screaming for his mommy before he knew what was happening."
"You know you don't have to defend me," Tambry said as she realized that they were still holding hands.
"I know, but really I don't mind. Guys like that don't know how to treat anyone with respect, especially a cute young lady like you.", Tony said squeezing her hand, "Francis and I saw too many of them on our travels. They make me sick. And what he said to you and about you, that only made matters worse."
"Still you don't have to feel like you need to protect me, I can protect myself.", Tambry said nervously.
"I know you can, but I...", Tony said stuttering over his words, "I just want to make sure you're ok."
"Oh," Tambry said feeling a slight blush come to her cheeks.
"I know you probably said it to get rid of the jock, but did you really mean what you said about already being out with someone?", Tony asked as he was looking her in the eyes, "I mean I know we said we were just getting together to get to know each other but I want to make sure I'm not reading things wrong here."
Tambry started to blow it off but she realized that they were still holding hands and really she didn't mind at all. Thinking about this she said, "Well I didn't come here today to start anything more than a friendship."
At these words his face fell slightly, if she wasn't staring at him closely she probably wouldn't have even noticed. Not wanting to be the one to cause him any more sadness she continued, "But when I first saw you come in here with your classmate I have to admit I was surprised to realize I actually felt a little bit jealous."
"Wait, I told you she is just a classmate," Tony spoke up, even though he didn't know why he tried to pull his hand back but she held it tight.
"I know, and I believe you. It's one of the good traits you do share with your cousin and one I hope you don't try to change it." Tambry said again squeezing his hand, "And as we sat here talking I found myself thinking this may be worth pursuing. But since I just came out of a relationship, I wanna take this slow. I wanna make sure I'm not just trying to use you as a rebound. You understand?"
"Yeah, I understand. And this will be my first relationship, so I want to take it slow too.", Tony said with what Tambry thought was a twinkle in his eye.
Piedmont, California
Wildbill's Apartment
So far Mabel had already transported Wildbill to the Bunker once so he could choose a room and so she would have the focal point to her return teleportation. They had first brought some little things like some of his extra clothes to make sure she could handle it. Next trip they brought his recliner and an end table. They had just decided to try his TV and the other end table when there was a knock on the door.
"Now who could that be?", Wildbill said as he looked over at the door, "Mabel, hide in the bathroom please."
"Gotcha," Mabel whispered as she closed the door behind her.
Once she was safely hidden, Wildbill went to the door and looked through the peephole and saw a beautiful dark skinned woman that he recognize as one of his former workers. Opening the door he asked, "Colleen, what are you doing here?"
"Well hi ya bossman, I was wondering if you were gonna be holding a show soon? And if so did you have a spot for an old employee?", Colleen asked standing in the doorway.
"You'll have to go ask Antonio, he's running things for awhile. I'm taking a sabbatical," Wildbill said as he looked at the female wrestler. His face took a down turn as he asked, "Besides I thought that after the last show you worked for me you said you'd never wrestle for me again. Something about how I was holding you back and not letting you work to your full potential."
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I was young and full of myself," Colleen said with her face turned downwards, "I heard about the gym and decided I would come and offer my help."
"Thank you, but like I said you'll have to go offer it to Antonio." Wildbill said a little bit surprised.
"Ok, I will look into that.", Colleen said as she put a hand on his chest, "And just so yo know, my other offer still stands, too."
"I told you before I don't sleep with students, even after they graduate.", Wildbill said removing her hand from his chest, "Stuff like that can ruin a career in the business as easily as a bad storyline
"Oh, ok. Well I better get going.", Colleen said as she turned away from him and walked away. After he closed the door she turned back with a fiery gleam in her eyes.
Gravity Falls
Northwest Manor
With trepidation Pacifica walked up to her parent's house for the first time since her parents got home last night. She was expecting for them to start in on her as soon as she walked in the door. She would rather have gone back to McGucket's or the Shack, but she really needed to face this and get it over. With one final calming breath she turned the knob and entered the house. The first thing she noticed was that it seemed that no one was home, she expected her dad was at the factory but her mom was usually home at this time.
"Anybody here?", she called as she walked through the foyer. Hearing no reply she headed up to her room. As she got to her door she had a feeling that something was off. Her whole body was telling her to turn and run and if this had been a few months ago she would have. But she now stood on her own and was no longer her parents lackey. She had faced danger several times recently and whatever is on the other side of this door had better watch out. Just to be safe she pulled out her earbud and put it on.
"Alright, I don't know what's going on in there but I'm coming in.", she said as she grabbed the door handle and swung her door open quickly. Rushing into the room she was surprised to find nothing. Her entire room was completely empty.
Yumberjacks
In a booth towards the back of the restaurant Mary sat talking to her brother over a stack of burgers. Her back was towards the table where Tony and Tambry were seated
"You know mom would kill us if she knew we were eating here," Mary said as she took another bite out of her burger, "I mean how much health food are we supposed to eat, if I had known I probably wouldn't have signed on for this."
"Look sis," her brother said taking another drink out of his fourth cup of water, "we both know neither of us had a real choice in the matter. Lord knows what would've happened to me if dad hadn't saved me from that river years ago and we can't forget about your..."
"Yeah I know, Hector. Look let's change the subject. How'd the favor you did for mom's friend go?", Mary asked as she started on another burger.
"Pretty good till a few of his amigos showed up. One of them jumped me just as I was putting him into the second toilet," Hector said, "then the jerk decked me."
"So, fifty/fifty then?", Mary asked with a shrug.
"It looks like you really aren't doing to much better," Hector said as he took a look over her shoulder.
"What are you talking about? I've been talking with Tony for the last two days. Heck, he said he was meeting a friend here, so I made sure to walk with him and the entire time all he could talk about was how fun it was to work on our project together.", Mary said before finishing off the burger in her hand, "That's why I had you meet me here. I told him you usually pick me up, but something came up. I've had him like putty in the palm of my hand."
"Well don't look now, but it looks like he's in someone else's palm right now.", Hector said with a smirk as he pointed over her shoulder.
Turning quickly she saw Tony and Tambry holding hands and looking into each others eyes. Seeing that she said, "Well sh..."
A little shack somewhere in the woods
Inside the cage against the wall there was now a nearly full grown duck laying on a rabbit skin.
"Soon it will be time to test the heroes once again," the metallic voice of the Mistress said to herself.
The building that formerly held Rupert's Books and Novel-ties
Gillian and James walked into the old bookstore and she looked around reminiscing. She had lied to Stan when she told him she had sold the building. Though she closed the business she could never allow herself to completely cut ties with the town that was her home for so long. Since then though it has held a few different businesses; a nail salon, a music shop, a pawn shop, and lastly someone had tried to run a small illegal casino in it under the guise of a bingo hall.
"Well since it seems we have to spend some more time in this town, we may as well have a better base of operations than that rundown old motel.", Gillian said after they had walked around the building for a little bit, "We'll have to say that I'm homeschooling you though, unless you want to have to go to school."
"In a town like this, I'll be considered an even bigger nerd than I was back home. No thanks," James said as he continued to walk around the building.
"Well I'll conjure up some beds in the office and the back room for us to sleep on and we'll go from there." Gillian said as she headed to the back, "Go ahead and bring in the bags."
Snapping to a sarcastic salute James responded, "Yes, Ma'am!"
"Smart alec," Gillian called back. As she watched him go she thought, 'He's so much like his father was at that age, quiet and reserved unless hes comfortable around you.'
Highway 278
Three trucks trudged along the nearly empty highway that went pass the entrance to Gravity Falls, this wouldn't be that big of a deal except two of the trucks were labeled US Army and the one in between them was carrying a load of weapons heading to the reserve base near Portland.
"Man, I hate getting these escort jobs.", the passenger in the last truck said to the driver, "if I really wanted to travel the highways like this I'd have followed my dad into the trucking business."
"Hey man, at least it get's us away from the base for awhile. If I had to listen to the sergeant order us to do another ten laps I'd have gone crazy," the driver said.
"Head's up guys we have a car blocking the right two lanes. It looks like a lady with a bad blow out. We're slowing down to pass her safely." came a voice over the radio.
"Gotcha." The driver responded.
As the lead truck slowed down two guys jumped out from the behind the car and threw out three rows of spike strips. As the truck tires hit them they blew out throwing the truck out of motion and causing the trucks behind them to ram into them. As the soldiers gathered their wits about them and attempted to exit their vehicles and guard the middle truck several people in various camouflage outfits ran out from the trees lining the right side of the highway.
The driver of the last truck called out an SOS to the closest base.
Mystery Shack
"I think I've figured out who the Mistress is." Dipper had just said when an alarm began ringing out of his computer. He quickly turned back to it and began typing.
"What's going on Dip?", Wendy asked as she looked over his shoulder.
"It's a new program I had Tambry make, it keeps a look out for any incidents locally that could use our special type of help.", Dipper says as he reads over the report the screen is showing, "It appears a small military convoy was ambushed about twenty miles down the highway."
He got up and grabbed his batons from the closet. Shifting forms he tapped his earbud, "Any body with your ears open, we have a situation and are needed. Mabel we need you and Wildbill."
After she had asked what was going on he gave a quick explanation.
By the time Francis ran up the stairs Mabel and Wildbill appeared in the room. She was in her Glamur gear and he was dressed similar to how he was when they first met Polden' including the bandanna covering his face.
"Pacifica is gonna meet us there," Shifter said as he turned to Glamur.
"Let's," Wendy said as she pulled the ax out of her arm becoming Will O', "rock!"
"Where's Tony?", Francis asked suddenly as Glamur magically changed his clothes to his uniform.
"He and Tambry aren't answering, I guess their 'getting to know each other' session must be going good.", Will O' said with a smile.
"We'll just have to handle this one on our own," Shifter said as he turned to Glamur and pointed to a scene he was getting from a satellite feed Tambry had previously set up to watch the area, "Can you get us close enough?"
Looking at the screen for a moment she found a landmark she recognized and intoned, "Tzgv Lu Gizevo!" and the familiar golden glow surrounded them.
Gillian's Hideout
James was had just brought his bag into the area of the back room he had claimed for himself when he heard a weird bit of static break in over his headphones, "...convoy… it's an ambush… twenty miles pass Gravity Falls exit… send help..."
Without thinking he grabbed his gear and began walking through the shadows in the direction he hoped they would be, dressing as he went. Luckily he was already in black jeans.
Highway 278
Three of the guards were still firing off shots trying to fend off the ambushers. One guard was down with a nasty wound to his left shoulder. The ambushers weren't fairing much better, after the first charge they all retreated back behind the tree and car as the soldiers tried to keep them pinned down. This lasted till one of the attackers threw in a gas grenade that help a sedative gas in it. As the soldiers fell the hodge-podge crew came out from their hiding places and began moving towards the trucks. A pair of pick up trucks pulled onto the highway besides the middle truck.
"Alright guys, load as many cases as you can. We need to get back to the compound before any back up troops arrive.", the woman who had been with the car called out.
Several men started to load crates into the back of the pick ups. None of them noticed the glow that appeared on the top of the middle truck.
"So is this a private party or can any body join in?", Shifter called as he jumped down in between to of the guys unloading the crates. Grabbing thei heads he slammed them together.
"Roofhrlmzib Hdzin!", Glamur called out and suddenly the man driving the first pick up slammed his foot on the gas as he seemed to be attacked by a swarm of bees coming out of his AC vents.
"Prepare to feel the justice of the woods!", Will O' called as she shot a ball of fire at the woman in charge. Though she dodged her hair did get singed.
"Yeehaw," Desperado yelled as he fired off a couple of shots hitting his targets in the hands causing them to drop their weapons.
Flux fell feet first into the hood of the second truck as hard as he could with his iron body. Reaching through the window he pulled the driver straight out of the truck and threw him into one of the other attackers.
"Sorry, I'm late.", Charger said as she hit a guy trying to sneak up on Shifter with a Tesla blast.
"No problem, welcome to the party." Shifter said as he whipped out one of his batons and hit the guys closest to him across the arm causing him to drop his gun. He then spun back around and kicked him in the gut.
"Dvy Lu Rilm Hrop!", Glamur called pointing at an attacker running towards Flux. The next thing the guy knew he was surrounded by a metal web that pulled him to the ground.
One of the guys still behind the car fired a shot at Will O'. In turn she swung her ax and split the hood and engine in two.
"Prepare to feel Lumber Justice!", Will O' called out before she collapsed. The guy who shot her was solid wood before she hit the ground.
"Will O'!", Shifter called as he saw her fall. Shifting into a minotaur he rushed through three attackers to get to her side. Upon reaching her, he shifted back to his Shifter form and cradled her in his arms. Doing everything is his power he attempted to share his energy with her to help her heal as he asked her, "Are you ok?"
The other attacker that had been behind the car saw that Shifter was distracted and sneaked up behind him with his knife drawn. Seeing Shifter was otherwise engaged, Desperado jumped down and ran over to cover his charge. He delivered a back hand to the guy that sent him flying nearly twenty feet away.
"I'm good dork, ugh.", Will O' said as the bullet slowly moved itself out of her body, "That's gonna smart for a bit though."
Charger landed next to them, "You need any help?"
"No, I'm good.", Will O' said as she tried to sit up. She quickly laid back down.
"You all need to back away and leave," the woman in charge said while holding a pistol to Glamur's head.
"Sorry guys," Glamur said, "She got me when I came to check on you."
"Now leave!", the woman said pressing the pistol closer to Glamur's temple, "Cover, make sure they are gone. Then I'll release the girl. Cover?"
The next thing anybody knew the gun went off, firing straight up into the air. Desperado was standing there holding the woman's wrist at an odd angle. Glamur was free.
"Argh," The woman screamed after he released her hand. She then looked at Desperado and said, "You wouldn't hit a woman, now would ya?"
"You're right, I wouldn't.", he responded. She grinned a big smile until he said, "But she has no problem with it."
She turned around just in time for Glamur to lay her out with a left hook that would make Stan proud.
Top of the mountain overlooking Highway 278
"Cover?", the voice from headset that laid on the ground next to the downed sniper said. His gun had been disassembled and laid ten feet away from him.
"They were able to stop them," Yami said as he watched over the aftermath of the battle, "These guys seem to be on the side of good."
"That they do, my child.", the Keeper said as she stepped out from the shadows.
"Ahh!", Yami yelled before he realized who it was, "What are you doing here?"
"After you left abruptly, I had to see what caused it." the Keeper said as she also looked over the end of the battle, "I simply used a spell to travel to where you were. Those young folk down there seem to have everything in hand, we should leave."
She started to turn away when she caught sight of girl in white's left hook, 'I'd recognize that punch anywhere.' she thought as she watched the group bind up the villains. She also felt a small pull of a familiar power as the girl in white caused her friends and herself to disappear.
"She has the Unicursal Shooting Star, which means she has the Tome also.", she said mostly to herself.
"Are you sure? The lady on the ground? Why didn't she use it to save her group?", Yami said a little confused. He had just finished tying up the sniper.
"Not her, it was the girl in white. She was the new holder," the Keeper said. She then focused on the soldiers and said, "Evigilo!"
She watched the soldiers started to rouse and then she said, "Come we must go."
She took his hand and intoned, "Insciente vinctum!"
Yumberjack's
"Well this was fun, we need to do this again.", Tony said as he helped Tambry to her feet.
"Yeah, maybe we can go see a movie or something next time," Tambry said as she stood up.
After she was up he picked up their tray and took it to the trash can as they left. When that was done he said, "Sounds good to me."
Once they were outside they started walking back through the town, continuing with the chat as they went. When they got to the grocery store Tambry turned to Tony and gave him a peck on the cheek, "This is my stop, I have to pick up a few things for my parents before I head home. I'll see you Friday if not before, ok."
"Sounds good. I'll see you later then.", Tony replied before she headed into the store.
As he walked past the pathway in between the grocery and the next store he was grabbed by the collar and pulled into the pathway. Once he was face to face with the guy who grabbed him he realized it was that Sylvester guy.
"I don't know who you are pipsqueak, but you're gonna leave Tambry alone if you know what's good for you.", Sylvester said as he held Tony up by one arm with the other pulled back as if he was ready to throw a punch.
Tony asked, "What are you gonna do if I don't, you neanderthal?"
"I'll just punch your light's out until you either have to quit seeing her or you won't be able to see her," Sylvester said.
He then threw a punch straight at Tony. Without missing a beat Tony caught the punch and in the next heartbeat he put his foot on Sylvester's leg. Quickly he pushed upwards and brought his other knee straight into Sylvester's jaw, causing him to be released. Landing in a crouch he swept the jock's feet out from under him. As Sylvester hit the ground, Tony threw a punch squarely into his jaw.
"Now listen here, Tambry is a wonderful person who definitely deserves a better person than you. And if I'm lucky enough to be that person, I'll be happy.", Tony said as he lifted Sylvester's head up from the ground. Once he saw for certain that Sylvester was still awake he continued, "now you better leave her alone or I will make your life a living hell. Do I make myself clear?"
"Y, yeah.", Sylvester answered with a gulp.
"Good," Tony said before he released Sylvester and his head hit the ground. And with that he turned and left the jock on the ground as he headed back to the Shack.
Somewhere else in town
Blair was sitting down in the kitchen eating a bowl of grapes while browsing the internet on her phone. Her cousin had came home from school, did his homework, ate an early dinner, and went to his room. She was all alone till she heard the kitchen door open behind her. Turning she saw Robbie and Jennifer walk in the door.
"Blair sweetheart, how come you didn't introduce me to this vodushevlyayushcheye sushchestvo* when she first came to town?", Robbie said as he walked over and placed a kiss on Blair's cheek, "Oh don't worry, you have nothing to be revnivyy** about. Its just now there are now two maidens from whom I must chase the wolves away."
Blair smiled up at Robbie, admiring the glow that seemed to radiate from his eyes. But she was beginning to worry some, over the last few days his speech patterns have been slowly changing becoming more eloquent (not that she minded that). Also like he had just done, there were phrases and words coming out that were in some foreign language that she didn't know. Looking over at Jennifer she saw a look of admiration in her eyes, this itself was weird as she didn't even know Robbie before yesterday.
"After school today I showed her around our happy little gorod*** and we even stopped and talked a bit with Tad Strange so she would know what a good grazhdanin**** of this gorod actually looks like.", Robbie added as he pulled a chair over and sat down next to Blair.
As she looked deeper into those eyes all of Blair's misgivings drifted away.
Alexa's house
Gregor sat waiting for his niece to come down and try to argue with him again about her job and that boy. He even had expected her to come down to plead and beg him to change his mind. What he hadn't expected was the near silence coming from her room. For as long as she has been alive Alexa had a will almost as strong as her grandmother or even his own. After nearly an hour of this silence he went up to her room and found the door locked. Reaching out with his mind he cause the tumbler to unlock. As the door opened he saw that her closet seemed bare and most of the drawers in her chest were hanging open. Beyond that he saw her bedroom window was open.
Rushing down the stairs he ran out of the front door only to a beat up pick up truck speeding away after having turned off of his street.
Mystery Shack
As the returning glow subsided, Shifter quickly carried Will O' over to his bed and laid her gently down. He had no sooner done it before he himself collapsed.
Intoning "Xolgsrmt'h Mlinzoxb!" Mabel rushed to his side as fast as she could, followed by Wildbill. Will O' tried to Sit up to see what she could do but the shoulder she rolled onto was the one that had been shot and she winced in pain before she propped herself up with her other arm. Francis helped Pacifica out of her armor before they both joined the others. Gently turning him over Mabel saw that he was bleeding form the same spot where Wendy had been shot.
Chapter 51 is in the books. We got another look into the home life of Alexa. Tambry is hit on by a jock from the high school in front of Tony, which caused them to figured out things even quicker than even I thought they would (once again the characters took over). Wildbill encountered one of his old students. Pacifica came home to an empty bedroom. Mary found out she wasn't playing Tony as well as she thought. Gillian (and James) returned to her old store front. A militia attacked an Army convoy causing the team (minus Tony, Tambry, & Candy) to react. Yami also went to the soldiers aid. Wendy was shot. Yami ended up helping out the GH and Gillian now knows that one of the GH has the item she is seeking. The jock confronts Tony only to learn Tony isn't to be trifled with. Things continue to get weird with Robbie. Alexa seems to have run away from home. And we leave off in another cliffhanger.
Sorry for the small hiatus. The move has been fun to say the least. We have been able to get a small stay of two weeks, so hopefully we will find a place in that time (crosses fingers). Being without cable and writing the story has been somewhat hard since no cable means no Gravity Falls to help inspire me. But I have been watching other DVD's to help me out some: Teen Titans, Archie's Weird Mysteries, Negima!, any and all Scooby Doo, Birds of Prey, and whatever other anime I feel like pulling out at the time. Gravity Falls is actually the first property I've really considered buying a pirated copy. Yes I know it's on Netflix (or was it Hulu?) and no I don't have access to either of those. Argh.

Also remember to check out my other Gravity Falls works:
Gravity Heroes: Sidetracks, a series on one shots & drabbels that are stories that are in the Gravity Heroes-verse but aren't necessarily required to read the main story-line. It's essentially my take on the classic Marvel Comics Presents. Chapter Seven follows Wild bill after he returns to Piedmont and delves into a few of his past lives that were re-awoken by Polden' Solntse.
I also would feel honored if any of my works inspire any art. If the do I would love to see them. Thanks again to all who have read this far. I have received art now from Deviou5, Siryleleen, & Polydactyly Zodiac. These will be posted soon in my Deviant Art account as fan art and credited to them. Thanks again you three. I'm happy to see different interpretations of the characters from the GH AU. Let me know by PM if you do and I'll send out a list of the full descriptions to you. The art is now up at fereality. deviantart just remove the spaces. A new pic of Yami is now up.
Again I'd like to give a shout out to EZB, SuperGroverAway, ddp456, & A Pleasant Dream (formerly Popcat131). It was their stories that made me want to get back into writing and to want to start with Gravity Falls. Please check out their stories if you haven't already.
Please review. I'm always open to constructive and helpful criticism, though if you're gonna troll please move on.
On to the reviews. Without further adieu:
Reader Rarity: Thanks. The hiatus and sporadic posting are only temporary. I'm writing when I can during this move.
Reader NecroticHate: Thanks. I was trying to create a good cliffhanger ending. It did snowball a little bit. In a way I wanted to show not all of the school life was hunky dory. The Hispanic guy's name has been revealed in this chapter. Thompson will meet him again. I've always believed there is no such thing as a coincidence. She is but possibly not the way people are thinking. Blair has nothing to do with the Knights and their Mistress. Morrighan has her own issues.
I'm trying to tie up some of the loose ends in this story-arc but still leave plenty for the next one.
Thank you again and I will.
Reader The Keeper of Worlds: Thanks. Yeah, I've been trying to slowly build Thompson up some in the background. Yep, Mary is his sister and it will get real awkward once people figure it out. That's the way I'm trying to write it out, but Tony worked some of it out himself. Yeah the info is gonna make things really interesting soon.
The next fight will be fun, but not in the way you might think. It'll be one of the fights after that fight that will be the start of the game changing instances.
