We've come so far and yet it is still going and I intend to keep it going until I deem it clear for the story to end and then possibly make something new as a new continuation, now back on track of what's going on is a grand landing to Gravity Falls and a closing into the upcoming crossover with Little Nightmares and I know that some of you guys in the reviews have been asking for this. Well, enjoy reading guys.
Spells and Louds.
Chapter 600: The Gravity Falls Temple Raid.
(Royal Fortress.)
Now we see the mobile naval and air platform installation zone is now somewhere in the North Pacific and just advancing as usual and right now the ones who run the joint are in the war room and discussing some stuff with Gyro, but we're too late to even hear what they are planning and they are on the move and with them are two guys who are part of the Guardian's plan.
The duo who seemingly escape death several times and are known as the temple twin raiders: Rios and Blaze. (They're real names are Ricardo "Rios" Del Santo Kanzo and Benjamin "Blaze" Del Santo Kanzo.)
They go down the halls of the base and get ready to discuss more about the plan. "Alright, so we go to Gravity Falls, we meet with Bill Cipher and then he'll tell us about the location of the path for us to find that world. Are we good on the plan?" said Gyro.
"We know what to do" replied Victor.
"We got the portal ready and now we go there and meet with Bill Cipher" replied Martin.
"This mission is not gonna be an easy walk in the park boys" said Jack Cyber.
Clover looks to the two guys with them. "You two up for this other worldly temple raid?"
Rios and Blaze smirk and fist bump each other. "Oh heck yeah, man."
Gyro sighs. "Just don't go dying guys, otherwise I am not bringing you two nimrods back again. You two are far more trouble with death than anything I had to handle."
"We got this man, trust us" said Rios. "Just have a little fate and then we can get the job done."
"Guardian, real talk here. This ain't the first time you needed our help man" said Blaze.
Martin, Victor, Jack Cyber and Clover look to Gyro. "What?"
Gyro sighs. "The other times were something else of importance that I needed they're help and it may have involved Karazhan. I don't have the time to go through the whole tower, so I hired these two knuckle heads to get the job done and search what was lost, and they did the job well."
Rios and Blaze fist bump each other. "Because when it comes to temple raids and junk, we know how to solve em and how to evade em" said Rios. "We've been through hell and sure to shit we can fight it."
"My man!" The duo fist bump, high five and then low five and do what dudes do.
The guys of FutureTech are confused by this and look towards Gyro. "Them? Really?" asked Victor.
Gyro sighs as they reach the main doors that reach outside of the building. "They weren't my best options, my other one was to find Lara Croft, but I know she might not be the best choice since she is pretty busy with her own stuff, like tomb raiding and junk."
Gyro opens the doors. "Let's get going and…. We're in trouble."
Right there, in front of the Great Gate are the rest of the Royal Defenders: Lincoln, Linka, Jordan, Luna, Sam, Neil, Gwen, Leon, Sergei, Carol, Dana, Becky, Lori, Luan, Leni, Timmy, Sunset, Peter, Ember, Loona, Duchess and then we have Boomer.
The others back up and point towards Gyro. "He did it!" Even GLADIS sees this and does the same. "This was his idea, we were just told to do as he says."
Gyro looks to them. "Whose fucking side are you blokes on?"
"The side that doesn't wanna get hurt!" yelled Victor.
Lincoln walks up to Gyro. "I know this isn't our business, but we wanna tag along and do what we can to help with whatever it is you guys are up to, and I know this has something to do with whatever is gonna happen to Lucy."
"The other day Leni and I overheard you talk to Martin and so we had to tell the others that you're headed to Gravity Falls to do something" said Linka.
"We're not gonna let this go on and leave the…" Gwen then sees the two guys. "Aren't those the weirdoes who do temple heists and junk?"
"That we… Wait, we're not weirdoes" said Rios and Blaze. They then fist bump each other for speaking in unison.
Boomer is uneasy from this. "Wow, and I thought I was a moron."
Sergei whispers to him. "You still are."
Lori sighs in frustration. "Look, we're not gonna let this slide and let you guys go through this danger to the fact that my little sister is the prime target for something big and possibly scary, even though she likes scary. So, tell us what the heck is going on here."
Gyro can see that they're not leaving and he can see the concern in the eyes of Lori and Luan, as well from Lincoln, Luna, Leni and Linka.
The guardian knows he has no choice. "Alright, alright fine. We're going to Gravity Falls to meet with Bill Cipher and track down a relic that could help lead us to the world where this odd nightmarish energy and magic is manifesting and this is the same kind of energy that is planning on something with Lucy."
"We intend to send these two tomb aiding knuckleheads." Rios and Blaze wave to them. "To go in there and raid the place to seek out the actual artifact that Bill Cipher speaks of, that's why the triangular freak hasn't been around lately. He had to go back to Gravity Falls and find out what is hidden there."
Timmy then asks something that everyone is curious and confused about. "Why not go in there yourself?"
"The temple that we seek has a very intense and powerful nullifying field, which I do believe is meant for the dangerous foes who seek the artifact to go to this banished world of nightmares and unknown darkness. So, my magic would be useless down there, and the real need would be temple raiding, looting and marauding skills."
"We don't steal dude! We find!" yelled Blaze.
Gyro sighs. "Yeah, what they said. I didn't wanna tell the rest of you because you guys would end up in deep danger and chances your powers would be nullified or countered against you. Whoever made the temple for the artifact, did it for a reason, well that reason is needed to we can find this world and stop the source of the incoming creeping nightmarish darkness."
They all remain silent from this and look to each other. "So, what can we do?" asked Neil.
Gyro knew they would say that. "Alright, glad I have a backup plan. Now, the temple where we're going might possibly be secured and guarded by something at the main gate which is why Bill Cipher is meeting us elsewhere in Gravity Falls, we're gonna need a diversion."
The rest of the team and the FutureTech guys ready their weapons and powers and rally together. "We can do that" said Jordan. Dominic roars.
This makes Gyro smiles. "Very well then…. Let's go and take in the weirdness of Gravity Falls."
Rios and Blaze are amazed by this. "Dude, is this what the Guardian dude does every time?" said Blaze.
"He sure has one heck of a gallery of friends" said Rios. They fist bump each other. "And some of them are damn hot, dude."
They all make their way through the great gate portal, but Lincoln turns around and looks to Gyro. "What about Hollow? Is he also part of this?"
"At this time that Sith Lord is aware of the whole arrival to Gravity Falls, but he's staying out of this and only waiting for when we do have to go the world we seek" replied Gyro. They both look to the portal. "Now come Commander, it's time to go and see the world where Bill Cipher came from."
The two of them walk through the portal, next stop Gravity Falls!
(Gravity Falls.)
The location is in Oregon and the town of Gravity Falls may look normal, but it's not. This town has been a prime target for so much trouble and that trouble was from long ago and involved one heck of a weirdness conflict.
But after the incident known as "Weird-mageddon" the town has been calm and at peace, and they have seen some of the odd wildlife and residents of the forests surrounding their beloved home, but they don't seem to mind. They seem to be on good terms with most of them after they tag teamed to save their homes and lands.
But, when some of those weird creatures try something mean and rude, then it gets into a fight that everyone has to stop before it goes too far. But everyone is still cautious, for the soon to be return of a certain triangular monster who brought ruin to their homes and lands. Bill Cipher.
But they don't know that he's there and waiting for some folks. Where is the one-eyed-Tetris-reject anyway?
The Chaos maker is sitting on a tree stump and is playing some solitaire and then he sees that one of the cards are wrong, then he stops and sighs. "Where the heck are they? This is getting so boring."
Then a formation of trees forms a gateway, which looks like the Great Gate. Bill Cipher gets up and floats towards it. "Well, it was about dang time too."
The tree-made Great Gate is made and the portal opens and everyone comes out, which surprises Bill Cipher then he sees the two men who are going to get the artifact, and then he sees Gyro. "Let me guess, they all knew and wouldn't leave you be?"
Gyro nods. "You have no idea, Bill."
Bill Cipher also sighs from this. "Well, I can't blame them. I mean, that little Goth girl is the epicenter of this nightmarish energy, and so it makes sense why they should be told. You guys ready for the first task at hand?"
They all nod. "Ready for what happens next. Where's the location?"
Bill Cipher then snaps his fingers and they're teleported somewhere near the edge of the Gravity Falls border nearing a large mountain range and they see a large clearing near a large entrance of this stone gate.
"Ladies, Gentlemen, boys and girls, freaks and nerds: Welcome to the Shattered Temple."
They all look towards the temple and are confused at what they see. There is no temple. Just this large gate made of stone and rocks and it does have these odd symbols on them.
One of the symbols is a large eye above the gate and the gate itself has this eye image, but there are these shattered and ruined symbols and drawings all over the main gate of the temple, one of the images looks like this man with a hat, a thin man with a hat.
The other one looks like a mask worn by the Geisha's in Japan and another looks like a small figure running and there are some more eye images around the main gateway.
"Dude, what the heck are we looking at?" asked Luna. She stands next to Lincoln and pulls him close, and she does the same with Jordan. Her mother instincts are kicking in.
"You sure this isn't your tomb or temple?" asked Dana.
Bill Cipher goes to the main gate and the large eye blinks which freaks them out. "This place is not mine and I don't even recall having a temple in a mountain somewhere near the edges of Gravity Falls. This temple and the eye symbols marks the world that the artifact would lead to and that they speak of dangers that await in this damned world."
"The ones who made this thing are long gone and they made this as a way to keep the evil energies from that damned world from coming here to ours and to other worlds. Which means they've seen this world, and it has scarred them and they don't intend to let anyone else go there and check it out."
Now they understand, this is a forbidden temple. Rios and Blaze walk towards the temple and they look to the pattern of drawings and think about this.
Rios then looks to the drawing of this thin man and he presses it, then Blaze touches this image of a paper bag with eyes and the door slowly opens slightly.
Rios then touches the image of the Geisha mask and then Blaze touches the image of this little girl and the door begins to open and then it slowly creaks and opens all the way.
The duo remove their hands and fist bump each other. "Nailed it like pros, bro!"
Everyone is surprised by this, but Gyro and Bill Cipher aren't surprised, they knew they would get it right. "Dude, how the heck did you guys do that?" asked Sam.
"We saw the pattern and noticed that there were only four drawings that seem to be scribbled wrongly and seemingly look the same in the pattern and this drawing of a colored aura around them and it was simple as that" replied Rios.
"We went through this kinda stuff back when we were in Ireland and looking for the sacred temple grounds of Finn McCool, and we found it and nearly died" replied Blaze.
The duo fist bump and they ready their torches. The others are surprised by this and confused. "Huh, I guess they're not dorks after all. They are the literal real deal" replied Becky.
But then they hear this large grumbling sound and look to Peter Sharp. "What? I wasn't doing that, and is this because of that damn joke of my stomach creepily whispering once?"
Leon and Sergei replied. "Yes."
But then they see the trees in the forest, well 20 of them begin to uproot and assemble with some other trees and they show these very ugly deformed faces on them and they begin to drool sap and moan and groan in anger.
The others are surprised by this. "What the hell am I looking at?" asked Jack Cyber, he blasts one and it falls to the ground and dissipates into some kind of glitch. "Well, that was weird."
Gyro looks to Rios and Blaze. "You two, go now! We'll hold them off, and be careful or I will send Lara Croft to save your asses!"
"We're on it!" Rios and Blaze race into the temple and the main doors close on their own.
"Dude, who the heck did that?" asked Lincoln. They then see that one of the tree freak monsters punched this eye symbol on the ground and then destroy it. "Oh, well that's inconvenient." He tosses Mjolnir and the tree monster is shattered into pieces and glitches away. "What the heck was that?"
Bill Cipher makes one of the tree monsters fight its own kind. "Made from the same dark and nightmarish energies from the world we seek. Obviously the ones who made the temple made these things so they can hold the line and scare off other folks, I'm not scared."
Boomer is grabbed and pinned to the wall and the tree monster shrieks at him. "But I am!" Becky uses her fire to set it a blazing and Boomer uses his scythe to slice it in halt. "These things are dark man!"
Loona goes under and she tosses the chainsaw which lands onto the tree monster and it revs around and shreds the tree monster. "Leni, plant powers! Can you tell them to stop?!"
Leni summons some vines to knock them away. "I can't! They won't listen!" She summons some Treants and they help fight back.
Gyro sends a tree monster into the air for Lori to burn it with her lava powers. "Like Bill Cipher said, these things are made from the nightmarish energy of this other world. They cannot be controlled."
"Then we put the hurt on them and make sure they stay down!" Ember sends a spectral fire blast and it burns and knocks back the tree monsters. "Let's lock and load and rock and roll!"
Peter Sharp enters his Ghost Rider mode, Neil turns to his half-DeathWing human form and Luna goes into her Demon form and they charge in and they all begin to slaughter their way through all of the damned nightmarish tree monsters.
(An hour later.)
An hour of tons of tree monster guards later and the team managed to kill all of them. They all take a moment to calm down and regroup. "Okay, so that was messed up" replied Boomer. "At least no one was hurt, right?"
"Yeah, sure." Peter Sharp pulls out the large tree claw from Neil's back. "This is gonna hurt, so don't scream."
Neil screams when Peter pulls it hard and he falls to the ground in pain. Gwen and the rest of the Spellman's go to see if he's fine. "Told ya it would hurt man."
They all take a look at the chaos and damage that was done and there are a ton of charred areas from their fight against the monster nightmare trees.
Leni looks around and sighs. "Nature will fix this land and also feeling kinda odd here. Is the nature in this land always feeling weird?" she looks towards Bill Cipher.
"This is the near border of Gravity Falls, so of course nature is a bit off balance here." He then looks around and scans the area. "No more signs of those ugly tree monsters, looks like we got em all."
Gyro sighs in relief and he sits down, he is exhausted and he grabs the soda that Loona hands to him. "Thanks." He then drinks it. "Now all we gotta do is…"
"Be grateful we got It." they all turn around and Rios and Blaze have arrived and they have the artifact in hand, and both seem kinda messed up with dust, some black stains and a few burn marks. "We got it and that was scary intense!"
The twins made it through this large crack by the side of the mountain, they didn't notice it there and it because they were fighting tree monster. The crack was caused by a sudden collapse within the temple.
"We had to fight so many messed up stuff, and get past so many obstacles dude" said Rios.
"And we didn't die, but we did get hurt a little bit" said Blaze.
The duo then fist bump and they go to the Guardian ad Bill Cipher and they show them the artifact. "We found it, and here it is dude." The rest of the team come together and look to the artifact as well, it's a necklace or an amulet of some sort.
The Amulet of the Nightmare world – This item has been used once, and only once and the ones who used it were ten folks, who are now 3 since the others did not make it. This thing can be able to track down the world where it came from and open the door that leads to that said world of danger and "Little Nightmares."
Appearance: The necklace seems to be made of metal or steel or some form of iron and steel. The chains holding the necklace look like eye balls and heads with ugly deformed faces, and lastly is the object being held together by the chains.
The object is the shape of an eye and doesn't seem like it's blinking, but it's made of obsidian and the center pupil looks as if it's made of copper and silver. It does have this ominous vibe to it as well.
They were all amazed by this, but Bill Cipher is confused. "Huh, I pictured it a bit bigger."
Linka looks to the two temple twin marauders. "How the heck did you guys get it and how did you know that this is it?"
The duo recall their unpleasant and yet excited venture into that temple.
(Flashback.)
The duo run into the temple, but they stop and look around. They see the pattern on the ground which look like eyes that are open and eyes that are closed, so they step on the open eyes and make it to the other side.
But a stone drops onto the tile with closed eyes and the floor collapses and this makes them both run for it, they take a big leap and manage to grab the rope. The duo then begin to swing back and forth and they land onto this stone platform that looks like a large TV box for some reason.
Rios then sees the chain attached to it and he sees where it leads, so he leaps off and lands onto this large crank and he uses the crank to bring the Large stone TV box up, Blaze joins him and they crank it to go high enough, then they let go of the crack and the giant Stone TV box lands onto the floor and breaks the ground below.
Rios and Blaze use the chain to go down and they land onto this large unfinished giant chess board and so they establish which piece is missing and find them in a room nearby filled with these child sized leeches made of ink and oil. What the hell are those things?
They finish the chess board and a secret door opens with a key, so they grab the key and run for it before those leech things come back and they see the lock and use the key and the walls split apart and they see a hallway with many doors.
Rios and Blaze look through each door and they see different things within each one.
An empty pit with skeletons, a toilet that seems to have teeth, a mannequin dressed like a hospital patient in the middle of the lit room, a shattered porcelain kid, some rotten sausages, bread and cheese, a few empty briefcases and a broken TV.
Blaze goes back to the room with the TV and he looks to the broken device and he kicks it and sees a key inside, he grabs the key and he heads with his brother to the locked door down the hallway. They unlock it and they nearly fall since there is no land at all.
The duo then see this rope and so they leap and grab it together and this makes them go down as if it were an elevator and they make it to the ground and see the large stone eye being hoisted up. They let go of that damned rope, then that stone eye drops and blocks the door.
On three they let it go and run to the door and they make it through before the stone eye lands on them and closes the whole thing, the twins slide down this sloped area and land into a pile of ink and oil.
They slowly trudge they're way through and make it to solid land and see this chest with the symbol of an eye and so they approach it. But the Rios has this small plastic bag and he goes to the oil and ink and grabs some and checks and it feels like the same weight of the chest.
Blaze and Rios swap the chest with the plastic with oil and ink and they open it and see the necklace. Blaze takes it out and keeps it in his pocket, while Rios takes the chest as a souvenir, the duo then take a selfie there as another reminder, but then the plastic with the oil and ink falls over and the whole temple begins to crumble.
Rios and Blaze see this crack in the wall and they make a tight squeeze and make it out and see they're in a hallway and there are a ton of leeches coming in like a fold and so they run for it. Rios uses a Molotov and he throws it back but the fire makes the leeches go on fire and go after them faster.
Nice going moron!
They bypass some fire traps, and got a few burns on their jackets, but they dive into a watery area and swim through while avoiding the debris falling.
They surface and reach the solid ground which is where the giant Stone TV box is and they look to the top where the hole was made, they climb the chain to the top and they reach it, but then they see the hallway where they came from has the main door blocked by debris.
They look for a way out and Blaze spots this large crack on the wall and they make it out of there, but first Rios tosses a C4 to the bottom of the hole to kill all the ink and oil leeches or slugs or whatever you call them.
Then they make it out of the mountain temple before it collapses onto them.
(End Flashback.)
Everyone is surprised at what they did. Looks like they do know what they're doing when it comes to Temple exploration and discoveries and they didn't die. They're ask risky as Leon and Sergei are, almost.
"It was not an easy task." Was all the twins could say, but all-in-all they did an excellent job and got the artifact they needed.
Gyro then takes the amulet and looks to it, the amulet blinks which freaks them out. "Well, looks like we got what we need. Now, all we gotta do next is go to that world and deal with this darkness,
They all stand by the edge of the cliff and look to the amulet which blinks and look to all of them. "Whatever this world is, looks like we're gonna have one unexpected fight coming. We need to be careful and try to figure out what the crisis is and what this darkness wants with Lucy."
"Then whatever is coming, we'll be ready for it" said Lincoln.
They all look to the distance and see the sun setting and they all smile. But deep down they're all locked and loaded and fully focused on what they have to face, the unknown world with this dangerous nightmarish dark energy. They got another world to deal with.
Rios and Blaze stand with them and look to the heroes. "So, we getting paid for this?"
To be continued in the next chapter.
A/N: Now that is how I make a 600th chapter, make it intense and filled with adventure and action and a ton of puzzles to deal with, and now they know that those twins are not to be underestimated and they might need them again someday, but for now we're closing into the next crossover, which some of you know. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
Date made: 2/16/21.
