Chapter 64: Take Back the Falls
Those that weren't there for the past few days saw the rather large group of Gravity Falls Citizens and forest denizens gather.
"Mr. Pines it's really you!" yelled Soos hugging him, "I've been hugging strangers to practice for this moment!"
Stan looked at the others in the group who all shrugged.
"Dipper! Mabel! You're alive." Said Alec running in.
"Hey dad…" said Mabel.
Dipper sighed unsure how to respond to their dad.
"It's the end of the world and you're still mad…" sighed Alec.
"So what's going on here?" asked Dipper ignoring his father.
"Yeah there's a bunch of monsters and stuff." Said Mabel.
"What we can't protect them?" asked Natsu.
They all shrugged not wanting to argue.
"It's happening again!" yelled Grenda.
They turned to see Wax Larry King's head chewing on Grenda's ponytail.
Multi-Bear need up closing the vents as Mirajane turned back human since she needed to rest.
"There's another eye bat!" yelled one of the Manotaurs.
Before any of the members of Fairy Tail could react, outside the eye bat was attacked by a giant lion made of ice. Causing everyone to breathe in relief.
"OH right, everyone in the Resistance is converging here." Sighed Erza.
There was a knock on the door.
"Password?" asked one of the gnomes on the door.
"Why do you keep insisting that there's a password?" asked Lyon on the other side.
The people were let in and it was Lyon, Sherry and the Trimens.
"Hibiki!" said Mabel surprised.
"You're awake." Said Dipper.
"Yes, Bill was holding me captive in my mind." Explained Hibiki, "He only released me when he started this."
"That's horrible." Said Dipper while Mabel didn't know how to react.
"Everyone's coming here since Dipper and Mabel have been found." Said Hibiki.
They looked around the Mystery Shack, noticing that there were many people. They noticed Marvelous healing Toby Determined from his injuries caused by the darts, the Aurai from the Forest Coalition seemed to be helping her for some reason.
Turns out she was helping to provide Marvelous with fresh air to eat.
After healing Toby, she provided the air to replenished her magic.
"Thank you so much…" said marvelous.
"No thank you…" said the Aurai, "I don't feel useless…"
Marvelous didn't know how to respond to that.
That was when Dipper noticed someone he would of course be scared of, even if he had gotten a lot stronger since they fought.
"Rumble McSkirmish!" yelled Dipper surprised.
"Don't be afraid." Said Rumble no longer yelling, "Weirdmageddeon has taught me that there are some battles I can't win, I am now Humble McSkirmish."
The caption "-50 Despair popped up".
"What's going on exactly?" Dipper finally asked.
"The unicorn barriers." Answered Levy.
"There are five safe houses and four of them are protected by the unicorn barrier." Explained Erza.
"Here, the forms and the guild hall…" said Dipper, "What about the fifth."
"My deal with Bill." Said Mirajane.
"Not only does it protect me and Lisanna but our house as well." Said Elfman.
"Though Possum Breath brought a good chunk of the ones here." Said Stan.
"So what's the plan?" asked Dipper.
"Stay here and eat brown meat until we run out. Then I vote we eat the gnomes." Explained Stan.
"Hey! I'm short! Not deaf!" yelled Jeff.
"Sh… all that stress will make you chewy." Said Stan.
"Actually we wanted to make sure that everyone in the guild was account for." Said Erza.
"It was only you four were the only ones that were missing." Said Laxus, "And since you two have been found we're going to try to make a plan,."
"Also you haven't told us what happened to Ford yet." Said Erza.
"Ford was captured. After we tried to fight Bill." Sighed Dipper.
"Seriously?" asked Stan, "Serves the jerk right, going up against a space demon had to be the dumbest plan yet…"
"Grunkle Stan." Said Dipper.
"Stan whatever problems you have with Ford doesn't matter right now." Said Makarov as he walked into the room (As he just arrived).
Stan sighed then grumbled something under his breath.
"We will figure out a way to rescue them." Said Erza, "Don't worry."
"But for all we known is that they're fine." Said Stan hitting the remote for the TV accidently just as the rest of the Resistance arrived.
"Shandra Jimenez reporting live, inside of Bill's castle. Here for the first time are the first images of what's happened to the captured townsfolk. Viewers are to be advised if they want to look away if they don't want to see their friends and family in a twisted throne of human agony."
The camera turned to Bill's throne, everyone watched in horror. Those watching saw their loved ones.
"Mom… dad…" said Pacifica crying.
"My family!" said Wendy.
"Deputy Durland!" cried Blubs.
"I pray that the resistance is watching, I know you can fight back. This is Shandra Jimenez and I'm being turned into stone." Said Shandra on TV as he was inside turned to stone by an eye bat.
Everyone was just in shock by all this.
"Oh my parents might have been jerks but they didn't diverse that." Cried Pacifica.
"Curse you Bill! Why must you take everything we love!" cried Blubs as he ripped off his shirt.
Mabel looked at everyone and knew she had to do something.
She climbed onto Multi-Bear's back.
"Guys don't' you see. Our friends and families need us, but we can only save them if we fight back." Said Mabel.
She held out her hand to Dipper who joined her.
"Mabel/s right, Bill wants us to run and hide, he wants us to think he's invincible. But Ford knew Bill's weakness before he was captured." Said Dipper.
Everyone was surprised by this fact and it gave them all hope.
"Now if we band together! Not just the wizards! Our smarts, our strengths… whatever Toby has!" said Dipper.
"Various rashes!" cheered Toby.
"Then we might be bake to rescue Ford and stop Bill!" said Dipper.
Everyone in the room but Stan cheered.
However the members of Fairy Tail stopped cheering when they heard the person cheering the loudest.
That person was Mavis.
"That was a great speech!" she cheered.
Expect for Dipper and Makarov who already knew her all stared at her including Mabel.
Then again Mabel was never given a formal introduction to her.
What are you staring at?" asked Stan.
"There's nothing there." Pointed out Alec.
"It's that girl who told me about the weird time difference." Said Mabel.
"Oh no one can see me unless they have the Guild Mark for Fairy Tail… sorry to make you all look crazy people." Laughed Mavis.
"It's true, only those who have the Guild Mark of Fairy Tail can see." Said Makarov.
"Did you have to repeat that?" asked Gajeel.
"Yes, because not everyone can hear her." Said Makarov.
"So who is she?" asked Pacifica, "Some kind of spirit of the guild?"
"Actually I'm the first Guild Master, Mavis Vermillion." Said Mavis.
With the exception of those born on earth (Minus Mabel since she grew up with stories about magic) they all gaped in shock.
"What!" they yelled out.
Mavis merely giggled.
"I take the one we can't see is the first Guild Master?" asked Ichiya.
"It is." Said Makarov, "I take it Bob told you about her."
"He did." Said Ichiya.
Bob is the master of Blue Pegasus, who used to be a member of Fairy Tail at one time and was on the same team as Makarov back in the day…
"The first master of Fairy Tail is a spirit?" asked Sherry in disbelief.
"Would you expect any less from the first master of that guild?" asked Jura.
"He a point." Said Lyon with a shrug.
"I can't do much since I'm just an astral projection, but I will figure out ways to stop Bill." Said Mavis.
The members of Fairy Tail all knew that she would be a big help.
"Even if there is an invisible ghost that most of us can't see, I hate to break it to you but we're sage only in the safe houses." Said Stan.
Natsu laughed.
"I already came up with a plan… Plan T." said Natsu.
Of course everyone knew what plan T was all started scowling at Natsu.
"We're not doing that!" said Laxus
"Terrible Idea." Said Dipper
"It's too dangerous." Said Lucy.
"What are you even thinking?" asked Loke.
"I hate to agree with everyone…" said Mabel.
"Yeah… that is going to get everyone killed." Sighed Happy.
Natsu I think we can all agree that's a bad idea right now…" sighed Makarov.
"No way! What else are we going to do!" yelled Natsu.
"What's Plan T?" asked Wendy.
"Take them by storm…" muttered Stan.
"Natsu does have a point." Said Mavis.
Everyone who knew what Plan T was all stared at the First Guild Master.
"But…" she added, "It should be a very, very last resort when we have no options left."
Makarov smirked, "Never doubt the wisdom of the First Guild Master." Said Makarov figuring out why Mavis suggested it.
To get Natsu to shut up about it.
"Does anyone else have a plan?" asked Makarov.
"I think I might have a way." Said Old Man McGucket.
"Should we be listing to the crazy old man?" asked Sherry.
"He's much smarter than he seems." Said Levy.
"Not to mention that giant robot he built for Gideon." Said Gray.
"I still can't believe that thing was that hard to beat." Said Elfman.
The members that were part of the rescue team were shocked but all joined the conversation for Old Man McGucket's plan.
Meanwhile in the Fearamid, Ford suddenly turned back to normal.
"Let me go you insane three sided." Said Ford then realized that he wasn't where he was before, "What the…"
That was when Bill rose out of the floor signing "We'll meet again."
Ford glared at Bill.
"Where am I?" asked Ford.
"You're in the penthouse suite, the top of the pyramid." Said Bill, "Have a drink. Make yourself confortable"
He gave Ford a drink and had him sit on a couch.
"Oh you know the couch is made of still living skin." Said Bill.
Ford got up in shock.
"Quit the games Cipher! If I'm stull a alive then that means you want me for something." Said Ford.
"Sharp as ever Fords. As you might have noticed I have had..." Said Bill he turned to the a three dimensional pyramid and made his voice echoy, "a multi-Dimensional make over.
He began to rearrange furniture as making Ford float in in the air.
"I control, space, matter and now that little baby is out of the way time!" said Bill, "But it wasn't always thing way."
Ford fell to the floor as Bill projected the image of a planet that was burning.
"Imagine living in the second dimension, filled with flat minds in a flat world filled with fat dreams. I liberated my dimension, and I'm here to liberate yours… but there's just one hitch." Said Bill who began to project the dome, "As it turned out my weirdness can't escape this town. There's something keeping me in."
"Incredible Gravity Falls natural law of weirdness." Said Ford, "I studied it years ago."
"And did you find a way to undo it?" asked Bill.
"Of course a simple equation could collapse it, but I'll never tell you." Said Ford.
"Listen Ford if you do this for me your dimension will finally be free." Said Bill who began to show what Ford could have if Bill was freed, "Anything will be probable, I'll remake the world, a fun world, a better world. And endless party with a host that never dies. No more restrictions, no more laws. And you'll be one of us. All-powerful. Greater than anything you could ever imagination." Said Bill.
"You're insane if you think I'd help you." Said Ford.
Bill just laughed it off, "I'm insane either way brainiac, but have it your way." Said Bill.
He left his body and entered the mental realm leaving his body as stone.
"Not so fast. You know the rules, Bill. You might be able opt haunt my dreams but you can't enter my body unless you shake my hand and let you in.
Bill entered back his body and when he did he attacked chains to Ford.
"You're making his so much harder than it needs to be. Everyone has a weakness tough guy. And I'll make you talk." Said Bill.
And then Bill began to torture Ford.
Back at the Mystery Shack.
Old Man McGucket was showing the Guilds his blue prints.
Those that fought against the Gideon Bot were impressed.
"I've built a lot of thingamdicoius robomajigs but this is my first one that's not evil." Said Old Man McGucket.
"Question odes that thing have gun swords?" asked Soos, "I've seen a lot of anime and this thing calls for Gun Swords."
"Soos… that's your answer for everything." Sighed Laxus.
"What's an anime?" asked Old Man McGucket.
"There's much I have to teach you." Said Soos.
"By the way Erza!" said a Manotaur interrupting them holding Erza's purgatory armor and the weapon that came with it.
"Thank you so much!" said Erza.
Both Dipper and Mabel were surprised.
"How was it fixed." Said Mabel.
"Thanks to Hibiki he was able to create blue to how to fix like it new and download into a black smith's brain." Explained Erza.
"So cool!" said Mabel.
"Awesome!" said Dipper.
"He already fixed up my Fire Empress Armor and my Heaven's Wheel Armor…" said Erza.
That was when she turned around and pointed the weapon at Mirajane who slowly approaching her behind. Making her hands go up.
"I've gotten enoguh sleep in Mabel's bubble!" said Erza.
"What did time go after in there?" asked Natsu.
"Sort of… it's complicated…" said Mabel.
"I plan to take a nap after I discus something that happened in the bubble, along with Stan." Said Erza.
"Oh yeah it's because Erza's…" said Soos but Laxus immediately covered his mouth.
The group went into Stan's office, made sure no one was in there and shut the door.
"So they know don't they." Said Stan.
They do." Sighed Erza.
Stan sighed.
"You're going to get some sleep after this meeting." Said Stan, "You're going to take it easy until the final battle or whatever…"
"I will." Sighed Erza.
"So you know about her being pregnant?" asked Wendy.
"He figured it out before I did." Said Erza blushing slightly.
"Should you be even fighting?" asked Soos.
"It's still very early in the pregnancy." Said Erza, "It will be fine."
"don't argue with her." Jellal whispered to Soos.
"The fact that I'm pregnant can't leave this room." Said Erza.
"Why?" asked Mabel.
"Because if everyone knows about this, then I can't help…" said Erza, "I am one of the Strongest in the Guild. I have to help."
"Great…" sighed Laxus.
"Are you sure about this?" asked Mabel.
"The baby will be fine… don't worry." Said Erza.
"Seriously don't argue her with this." Whispered Stan on the same page as Jellal.
They all nodded.
It was really not a good idea to argue with Erza on any of this.
They all left the office.
Turned out Mirajane was waiting outside.
"Mira please, I'm going to bed on my own." Sighed Erza.
"It's not that… I just wanted to ask you if it would be a good idea to teach Mabel Advanced Transformation." Said Mirajane, "Well once I regained enoguh magic."
"Of course." Said Erza.
Erza headed to her room.
And so training and building began.
While Erza took it easy, she was the only one.
Most of everyone in the Mystery Shack wanted to help out with the plan, very few didn't want to and we were taken to other Safe Houses. While brining back those from the other safe houses who wanted to help with the plan.
Soos did see his grandmother who was at one of the other safe houses, but she wasn't allowed to participate in battle due to the fact she was still a chair.
Stan was pretty much against it but he didn't have much of a say.
They gather supplied for building the robot, they even got some items for Mabel as Erza felt it was time for Mabel to get something.
Plans were also made between certain groups, Dipper and Freed discoursed a last resort plan as did Mirajane, Jellal and Natsu.
Mavis and Cana also came up with a plan, but it wasn't a last resort plan… well not really but kind of…
Not swords though, they did build another weapon that had a certain Lacrima in it to go with this thing, but Mabel wasn't ready for swords.
Sometime during Mabel's training with Mirajane.
Which did take a bit longer than the other times she learned transformation, but it was still very quick.
"I can't believe you made an Exceed form with wings." Giggle Mirajane.
"Yeah." Sighed Mabel.
"Is something wrong?" asked Mirajane.
Mabel sighed.
Dipper deiced to check up on Mabel, he heard this as he approached them.
"You have to promise me you can't tell anyone, especially Dipper." Said Mabel.
"Okay… I promise." Said Mirajane.
Mabel began to cry.
"It's all my fault!" she cried.
"What?" asked Mirajane.
"This whole thing is my fault! There was this weird looking thing in Dipper's bag and that guy from the future wanted it so I could freeze time for a little bit but then he turned out to be Bill! He put me in that bubble and… and…" cried Mabel, "It's all my fault…"
Mirajane hugged her.
"No it isn't…" sighed Mirajane.
"But…" said Mabel.
"Bill would have figured it a way to do this anyway…" said Mirajane, "Remember he tired to possess me too."
"Yeah but you beat him." said Mabel.
"I did… but I wasn't sure if I could." Said Mirajane, "It took a chance… if it didn't' work I know that probably would have happened sooner."
Mabel wiped away the tears.
"But I gave it to him." said Mabel.
"You did… but I'm sure you didn't know what it was or why did there's other people to blame for this as well…" said Mirajane.
"Like who?" asked Mabel.
"Like me." Sighed Mirajane.
"What?" asked Mabel.
Mirajane took out her cellphone and showed the picture of the Rift. Mabel's eyes widened.
"After I stole some of Bill's powers, I told about this." Sighed Mirajane, "But I was promised not to tell anyone about it…"
"I'm partly to blame as well." Sighed Mirajane.
Mabel sighed, she couldn't be angry at Mirajane for keeping it a secret, especially since she just asked her to keep this conversation a secret.
"Listen if you have anyone to blame it's Bill." Said Mirajane, "he's the only who tricked you and hurt everyone…"
Mabel looked at her and nodded.
"We're beat him and get everything back to normal." Said Mirajane.
Mabel smiled and nodded.
Dipper sighed from his hiding spot. His clenched his fist and sighed.
Then he made himself known.
"Dipper…" said Mabel wiping away any remaining tears.
"I just got here just now…" lied Dipper, "I wanted to check up on everything."
"It's fine!" said Mabel, "Oh yeah, I just remember everyone's apocalypse sweaters! Thanks for reminding me…"
"I didn't…" Dipper said somewhat weakly.
"I have to make sure everything's fine…" said Mabel.
She left.
"You heard everything didn't you." Said Mirajane.
"I did…" sighed Dipper.
He sighed, "I should have told her…" sighed Dipper.
"Ford should have…" said Mirajane.
"What?" asked Dipper.
"I asked Ford to learn to trust people again." Sighed Mirajane, "He didn't…"
Dipper sighed.
"We'll a little to blame." Said Mirajane.
"I know…" sighed Dipper, "By the way… I was wondering…"
"I didn't get a power boost." Said Mirajane.
Dipper didn't answer.
"Everyone's been asking me that." Said Mirajane.
"I see…" said Dipper.
Dipper sighed…
"Should I tell her I overheard everything?" asked Dipper.
"Wait until everything calms down…" said Mirajane.
Dipper nodded.
"Come on let's go see those apocalypse sweaters that Mabel's made us." Laughed Mirajane.
Later that um… Night? Almost everyone was surrounding the campfire wearing Mabel's sweaters.
"Thanks for the apocalypse sweaters Mabel, the end of the world was never so comfortable." Said Soos earning agreements to everyone else wearing a sweater.
Pacifica was nearby shivering, she was wearing a rather cute outfit that Virgo got her from the Celestial Spirit World, however it isn't very warm.
Mabel gave her a look.
"Fine I'll wear it!" said Pacifica.
Pacifica put on a sweater that wad made from llama hair and had a llama on it.
"But I won't like it." Said Pacifica.
"Oh come on Pacifica I think it's cute on you." Said Lucy.
"Yeah, if you were really in Llamas." Said Happy.
"Shut it cat." Said Pacifica as Lucy gave her the thumbs up.
"Seriously you're teaching her to insult me?" asked Happy.
"Admit it this is the best day of the end of the world." Laughed Mabel, "I think we actually have a chance to beat Bill and win back our future!"
"Yeah, getting to live to se our 13th birthday, party is the only present I want right now." Sighed Dipper.
"Hey if you you're lucky get there I'm sure the whole town will want to throw you the best birthday party we have ever seen." Said Soos.
"Oh come on seriously the whole town, it can't compare to a Fairy Tail party!" laughed Natsu.
"Especially since we can have it at the Guild Hall after all." Said Mirajane.
"Yeah…" said Dipper, "By the way have you seen Grunkle Stan."
"I think he's with Makarov, Gildarts and Cana talking about something." Said Jura.
"Wait… why would Cana be a part of that conversion." Said Mabel.
"Oh no…" muttered Dipper.
Dipper and Mabel decided to find them and check to see fi the four of them were okay.
Turns out when they went to the Guild Hall for the pick up/ Drop off of people who either wanted to or didn't want to participate in the fight they also picked up a few other things.
"You know what! This stupid plan is a load of crap! I already saved him once! Did he thank me! No! He causes the end of the world and still it's always "Stan's the screw up and Ford's the hero.!"" Ranted the drunken Stan.
"I know we're having a end of the world last drink but do you think you had enoguh." Said Gildarts.
"Screw you and you're wife!" yelled Stan.
Gildarts glared at Stan, as did Cana.
It's best not to get into his wife leaving him while in the early stages of pregnancy…
"He's drunk an angry." Said Makarov, "Give him a free pass."
"Should we get mom?" asked Mabel.
"Good idea." Said Makarov.
"There she is." Said Cana.
They noticed she went to talk to Jellal about something not to far away.
"Leave them alone." Said Makarov, "Whatever their talking about it should be in private."
"You got that right!" said Stan.
Nearby Erza and Jellal talked.
"What did you want to talk about?" asked Erza.
"We don't know if this is going to work." Said Jellal.
"I know." Sighed Erza.
"Which is why if it does work… I want to get married." Said Jellal.
Erza looked at him, and she knew right away, it wasn't in a sense of obligation to the baby.
It was because he loved her and he would deeply regret if he didn't do this.
"I will!" said Erza.
{The two hugged and kissed.
"Also it has to be in the next couple of months." Said Erza.
"What? Why?" asked Jellal.
"If we get married it's before I start showing." Said Erza.
Jellal blinked, "Okay." He answered.
"Don't worry it will be fine." Said Erza.
The went back to the campfire.
"Mom… Grunkle Stan is drunk." Said Mabel, "And I think he might try to start another fight with Gildarts."
Erza sighed and knew she had to defuse the situation.
Jellal sat down. Everyone stared at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Did you ask Erza to marry you?" asked Alec.
"What?" asked Jellal.
"Come on your two can get so lovey dovey!" said Natsu.
"Besides planning to get married or getting married before a final is such a cliché in end of the world movies!" said Happy.
"You watch too much TV." Said Natsu.
"Admit it! You're not thinking about that what's his face in that movie with the aliens!" said Happy.
"I have no idea which movie you're referring to." Said Natsu.
"Word of advice from the ex. Do whatever she says when it comes to the wedding!" said Alec, "And I mean WHATEVER!"
Jellal sighed.
At least they didn't know about the pregnancy at least.
The next day it was time for the plan to begin. The activated Old Man McGucket's invention.
The robot got up and headed towards the Fearamid.
Inside both Natsu and Laxus were on the floor trying not to vomit.
"Don't worry it will be fine." Said Marvelous, "Troia!"
Both of them sprung to life.
"Oh right! The Troia!" cheered Natsu.
"Why don't you use this often again?" asked Laxus.
"Because if I do it will eventually stop working." Explained Marvelous.
"Oh… right…" said Laxus.
Back in the Fearamid, Bill continued his torture of Ford, which was electrocuting him.
"Ready to talk now?" asked Bill.
"I wont' let you into my mind." Said Ford.
Bill turned to the Henchmanics.
"What do you think boys should I up it to 500 volts?" asked Bill.
That was when a T-Rex suddenly ripped open a hole in the wall.
"I just fixed that wall!" yelled Bill.
They all looked out side, it was the Mystery Shack converted into a giant robot. It's left arm was a T-Rex head, it's legs were mismatch one even belong to Gideon Bot, and part of it was even part of the portal. It even had the Gobblewonker Head.
"It's the Shacktron Dude!" said Soos standing on the roof holding a flags with a the Golden six Fingered Hand, on it were two small pine trees, over it was an axe and a pick axe, and a Question Mark, above the hand was the Fairy Tail Mark, on it's left was the mark of Blue Pegasus and on it's right the mark of Lamia Scale and below it Mabel's trademark shooting star with the phrase "Take Back the Falls"
"They made the house into a robot, fascinating." Said the Wax Head of Larry King on top of the flagpole.
Bill saw Shacktron.
"Oh the Mortals are fighting back, Adorable…" said Bill, "Henchmaniacs! Take them out!"
The Henchmaniacs left the Fearamid and growing gait sized.
"Give us Ford, or we're going opt have to like fight and stuff…" said Soos then he noticed Paci-Fire, "Oh hey you're real a cutie."
"I have butchered many on countless moons." Said Paci-Fire.
"Oh… I like it better when you didn't talk." Said Soos, "A real bring down… anyways I should warn you we're kind of saving Shacktorn for Bill."
"Oh really wand can you humans do?" mocked Pyronica.
That was when suddenly the ground beneath her turned into pillars and sent her flying.
Joining Soos were The Thunder Legion, Juvia, Gajeel, Cana, Gildarts, Bisca, Alzack, Max, Eve, Ichiya, Ren and all of Lamia Scale.
"Oh why couldn't I join Gray on his part of the plan." Cried Juvia.
"Now's not the time for this…" muttered Gajeel.
"Don't worry Juvia I'm right here." Said Lyon.
"I wasn't talking about you." Muttered Juvia.
"By the way Soos you should get inside." Said Bisca.
"Oh yeah…" said Soos.
The henchmanics stared at this.
"You sent out these losers?" asked 8-Ball.
"You have no idea what we're capable of." Said Gajeel with an evil smile.
The Henchmanics all launched themselves as the Shacktron.
"Dark Ecriture! Darkness!" said Freed putting the spell on him, transforming into a demon like creature.
"Darkness Breath!" he called creating a tornadoes of Darkness that hit Hectorgon.
"Are you trying to show off?" asked Bickslow sending a beam at the Henchmaniacs."
"Men…" muttered Evergreen rolling her eyes and sending and attack at the enemy.
Pyronica got up and ran over to the Shacktron but found she couldn't move.
She then turned around and attacked Teeth.
"Pyronica! What are you doing!" yelled Keyhole.
"I don't know! I can't control, my body!" said Pyronica.
On Shacktron Sherry giggled.
"They might be strong but even they can fall victim to my Doll Attack." Said Sherry.
"I's that girl!" yelled Paci-Fire, "She's the one controlling Pyronica."
Some Eye Bats flew behind her. However they were suddenly caught up in a tornado.
"I didn't save you because I like you, only for the mission." Said Ren blushing a little.
"You keeping telling yourself that." Said Sherry as she continued to control Pyronica.
The Amorphous shape tried to attack, but Ichiya jump into front of it.
"All right time to use my Power Perfume!" said Ichiya taking out a vile and sniffing, that was when suddenly he became muscle bound so much that his muscles ripped through his clothes.
The Amorphous Shape began to scream in terror.
"My eyes! My eyes! Some one claw out all of my eyes! OH CTHULHU! MY EYES!" yelled Amorphous Shape.
"I didn't do anything…" said Ichiya in shock.
"All right you got this!" said Alzack.
"Oh yeah!" said Bisca, "Requip!"
She took out what looked to be a machine gun and they began to shot at the Henchmanics.
"Yee-haw!" cheered Bisca.
Gajeel smiled at them.
"Iron Dragon Roar!" he called out.
He breathed a tornado of iron particles, which tore into the demons that it hit.
"Sand Rebellion!" called out Max sending several of the Henchmanics into the sand.
"White Out!" called out Eve.
The same Henchmanics were now buried in snow.
Keyhole ran towards the Shacktron.
However he was now suddenly place into a ball of water.
"Someone handle him… keeping him there is taking a lot of my magic." Said Juvia.
"Don't worry Juvia I'll handle it." Said Lyon, "Ice Make Snow Tiger!"
A large tiger made out of snow began to attack the captured Keyhole.
"Thank you Lyon." Sighed Juvia while thinking ,"If only it was Gray."
Jura cased much of the rocky landscape to rise up and making it to fly towards the Henchmanics.
That was when the beat with 88 Different Faces made its way to Shacktron, however Gildarts managed to uppercut the demon and send it flying.
"Now it's your turn sweetie!" said Gildarts.
"Please don't call me that." Sighed Cana.
She held out her hand revealed a strange red tattoo on her arm.
"Let's hopes it works this time." Said Cana.
She held out her arm are light appeared.
"Gather! O River of Light, that's guided by the fairies! Shine! In order to Perish the Fangs of Evil! Fairy Glitter!" called out Cana.
This light surrounded Xanthar, a light cover the entire area. The other Henchmaniacs looked on in shock.
And when the light cleared there was nothing left of Xanthar.
This was such a shock that all of them were swiftly beaten by the rest of the team, whether it be giant rocks, sand, bullet, ice, water, iron, air, snow, different kinds of light, darkness, hitting things and Pyronica knocking her self out.
Bill looked outside, his eye twitching.
"Bravo!" cheered Ford.
Bill looked at Ford.
"Hm… I bet Pine Tree and Shooting Stare there." Said Bill.
"What." Said Ford paling.
"You really care for those kids don't you." Said Bill.
"No… oh no…" said Ford.
"What if I torture them!" said Bill.
"No not the kids! You can't!" yelled Ford.
But Bill turned him back to gold.
He turned giant sized and headed out.
The group that took out the Henchmaniacs were taking a brief rest.
"I was wondering why can't you use the spell on Bill?" asked Lyon to Cana.
"I wasn't sure if it would work on him…" said Cana, "I used it once before and I couldn't get it to work."
They noticed Bill.
"Bill's headed this way!" said Max putting his hand on his head.
In the cock pit Warren had his finger on his head.
"Got it!" said Warren.
"All right!" said Hibiki with his screen, "You girls ready?"
Candy and Grenda were the ones controlling the fists as they were still fairly new to the guild so they weren't part of the outside protection team or the other team that was formed.
Bill punched the Shack, but it didn't work…
{"What the!" yelled Bill.
He made many more arms and tired punching more times, still didn't work.
Grenda moved her arm, which was the T-Rex arm and used it to bit out Bill's eye.
"Ew! Right in the eye!" said Sue with a cringed.
"All right! Rescue team we got him distracted. Get ready you have less than a minute!" said Warren.
The rescue team got ready getting certain times like Dipper grabbing a shrinking flashlight and Soos grabbing the memory erase gun.
"And made their way to special exit tubes, the rescue team consisted of Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, Stan, Soos, Pacifica, Blubs, Laxus, Jellal, Old Man McGucket Marvelous, Carla (who Marvelous was holding), the Strongest Team (which reminder included Loke), Team Shadow Gear, Panther Lily (who Levy was holding), the Take over Siblings and Makarov.
"Okay get in, rescue Ford, get out and save the world. Piece of cake." Said Dipper.
"Hey on second thought maybe we come up with a plan that doesn't involve us plummeting to our certain deaths." Said Stan.
"Don't worry, if the parachutes fail! I'll handle it." Said Lucy giving the V is for Victory sign.
"That doesn't fill me with any hope." Said Stan.
"Now!" yelled Wendy who was in charge of the button.
All of them were sent out through the mouth of the Gobblewonker.
They all flew towards the Fearamid, half of them were scared out of their mind, Mabel was just having fun.
"All right now!" called out Jellal.
Those who didn't have the skills (or partner in the case of Natsu, Marvelous and Levy) to fly they all pulled their parachutes made from Mabel's sweaters.
Dipper used Dark Ecriture: Wings, Erza requiped into the Black Wing Armor, Mirajane turned into a bird, Lisanna turned her arms into wings, Elfman turned into the Gremloblin and Mabel turned into a Exceed with wings.
Once they all landed Carla looked at her.
"Seriously?" she added.
"What it's more fun than a bird!" said Mabel as she turned back human.
"She has a point." Said Erza with a surged she requiped into the heart Kreuz armor.
They headed in and saw the Throne close up.
"This is more horrifying up close." Said Dipper.
"You said it." Said Gray.
Mabel decided to check on the throne itself she requiped her grappling hook to get on the throne.
Dipper joined her as he had yet to deactivate his wings.
"I found Great Uncle Ford, he's golden and not in a good way." Said Mabel.
"Great grab him an let's get out of here!" yelled Stan.
"But how to we unfreeze him?" asked Dipper.
"I know!" called out a voice.
They turned to see Gideon in a cage dancing a cute little sailor outfit.
"What happened to you?" asked Mabel.
"After I defined Bill, he captured me and forced me to do cute dances in a sailor suit in a cage for all eternity." Cried Gideon, "I don't want to be cute any more!"
"how do we undo this?" asked Dipper.
"Mayor Tyler! He's the load bearing human." Explained Gideon.
Mabel walked over and pulled out Tyler. When she did the entire throne fell apart in a mass of human bodies.
As this worked, Panther Lily turned giant sized and cut Gideon out of the cage.
"Um… Natsu I know we had our difference in the past but can you do me a little favor?" asked Gideon.
Natsu knew what was and as Gideon ripped off the sailor suit he burned it.
Soon enoguh everyone in the pile regained consciousness.
"My mouth taste like nightmares." Said Lazy Susan.
"Now I think I'm dark and tortured for reals now." Said Robbie a spray paint can fell out of his pocket.
"This will forever scar Tad Strange." Said Tad.
Thankfully there were happy reunions.
"Wendy!" yelled Manly Dan.
"Guys!" cheered Wendy as she and her family went into a big group; hug.
"Mom! Dad!" said Pacifica somewhat happily.
However she was run over by Blubs running over to Durland.
"Durland!" he cried out.
"My Blubs!" cried Durland.
"Don't 'you ever scare me like that again." Said Blubs
Blubs hugged Durland and the town cheered as the two finally realized their feelings for each other.
That was when Ford unfroze, he noticed the twins specifically.
"You did it! I knew you could do it"! said Ford.
However that was when he noticed Old Man McGucket.
He was shocked, he had heard rumors that his old friend had gone and insane and turned into a crazy hillbilly but to see it…
"Fiddleford, I haven't seen you since we part ways…" said Ford, "You must hate me…"
"I've tried forgetting, but maybe it time for some forgiven'." Said Old Man McGucket.
The two hugged.
"Hey, good to see you, too bro, but we really have to get out of here." Said Stan.
"We should at least hear what his weakness is." Said Erza.
"Hey remember how you told me right before you were frozen that you knew Bill's weakness?" asked Dipper.
"I do…" said Ford as he put on gloves, "Does anyone have a pen, a pencil, any thing to draw with?"
Then noticed the spray paint can.
"This will do." Said Ford he began to draw something.
"Uh… we don't know how long we can keep Bill copied." Said Dipper.
"Yes, yes… good… good…" said Ford still using the spray paint to draw.
"He's drawing a circle on the floor, he's lost his mind." Said Stan.
"My mind is fine… we can beat him with this." Said Ford.
It was actually large circle, with Bill in the center and 20 times surrounding it.
From the top going clockwise, was the symbol of Stan's fez, followed by an armor, a question mark, a bolt of lighting, the mark of Fairy Tail, a bag of ice, a tornado, a pine tree, a book, snow flake, a pair of glasses, a llama, a set of keys, Jellal's tattoo, a shooting star, a one eyed star, a flame, a stitched up heart, a drink tray and finally the hand of Ford's journals.
"What is it?" asked Makarov figuring out that it must powerful.
"The world's most confusing game of hopscotch?" asked Pacifica rolling her eyes.
"No a prophecy, but it would make for a fun game of hopscotch." Said Ford.
"Are you sure it will work?" asked Jellal.
"Yes." Said Ford, "Many years ago. I found these 20 symbols, some I recognized then, some I only recognize now. The native people of Gravity Falls prophesied that these symbols could create a force strong enoguh to vanquish Bill. With Bill defeated his weirdness will be gone and this town could be saved. I always believed that it was superstition until now though now I understand its destiny. Dipper, the pine tree, Mabel the shooting star.
Dipper had Mabel took their spots.
Erza took the spot of the armor.
"Bill called me armor when I met him." said Erza.
"So that means it's my spot." Said Mirajane taking the drink tray.
"The question mark, that means it's unsolvable." Said Soos.
"Seriously?" asked Laxus taking the spot of the lighting bolt.
Jellal took the spot that was his face tattoo.
Wendy pushed Robbie into the stitched up heart, as it was on his hoody.
"That ones easy." She said, "You've been rocking' that dumb hoody since you were like 7." Said Wendy.
"Whoa, Destiny Hoody." Said Robbie.
"I guess there's a reason why me called me snowflake." Sighed Gray taking the snowflake.
"When he didn't call you tin man." Said Natsu taking the flame.
"The tent of telepathy sign." Said Dipper noticing the star, "That must be Gideon."
"Whoo! Chance to stand next to Mabel!" said Gideon taking the spot.
"Don't make a big deal out of it." Said Mabel.
Gideon was going to say something but Natsu glared at him. And Gideon sighed, sure was next to Mabel but he also next to Natsu.
Meanwhile outside, Bill continued to fight with the Shacktron. However he noticed something.
That its legs were out of the shield.
"Hey Achilles, you have to work on the heel!" said Bill.
He ripped of the leg.
"Fore!" he yelled hitting the Shacktron, which rolled away.
"Hey did you forget something?" asked a voice.
He turned to see the group that was in charge of taking out the Henchmanics.
"Oh yeah, forgot about them… thankfully all of my eye bats has been taking out." Said Bill.
A hug swarm of eye beats swarmed them.
"Sunglasses!" called out Bickslow.
Those on the team teach into their pockets and took out sunglasses as it would make them immune from Evergreen's gaze as she turned many of the Eye bats into stone, as the others fought them.
However this eye bat swarm was enoguh to distract them so Bill could get away.
Back inside the Fearamid.
"Since some of them are tied with you magic I think we all know who the keys and tornado are." Sighed Carla.
"Oh man!" said Lucy.
"Can I really handle it?" asked Marvelous.
"I'm sure it will be fine." Carla told Marvelous.
Lucy took the keys, while Marvelous took the tornado.
"Hold Hands everyone." Said Ford, "This is a mystical human circuit."
"Wait who's ice?" asked Dipper.
"The symbols don't' need to be literal." Said Ford, "It just means that cool in the face of danger."
"Wendy! Wendy! Wendy!" chanted Wendy's friends.
"Shut up you guys." Laughed Wendy and stood in the symbol.
"The book represents someone well read or enjoys reading." Said Ford.
"That only be one person!" said Jet.
"That's right Levy!" said Droy.
"Guys." Sighed Levy with embarrassment as she took the spot.
"And the spectacles needs to be someone scholarly." Said Ford.
Old Man McGucket stood in the spot while laughing.
Pacifica took the llama spot as she looked at the symbol on the sweater.
"This is freaky." Said Pacifica.
"The Fairy Tail Guild Symbol…" said Loke.
"I believe that anyone who bears the mark of the Guild can take it's place." Said Makarov, "But as the current master it will be up to me."
He took his place as Ford did on the hand.
"Now everyone hold hands." Said Ford.
"Hopefully it won't be like the last time we all held hands in a circle." Said Natsu.
"Don't joke about that." Said Laxus.
Pacifica looked at Old Man McGucket's hand, which had flies around.
"I'm not touching that." Admitted Pacifica.
"Do it sweetie, do the thing that no person in our family has ever done, touch the hillbilly." Said Preston.
Pacifica looked at Lucy who was right next to her and she nodded.
The circle almost completed thunder rumbled as smoke surrounded the Fearamid outside.
"Great Uncle Ford, I think it's working." Said Dipper.
"Yes! IT is!" said Ford, "The rest of you get out of here it's dangerous in here!"
"Elfman! Lisanna I'm leaving you two in charge." Said Makarov.
Lisanna nodded due to the fact they would be immune in Bill's powers.
"All right everyone follow us!" yelled Elfman.
Everyone in the circle did so, but Loke, Happy, Carla, Jet and Droy all looked at them.
"It will be fine." Said Lisanna.
They nodded and joined them in evacuating.
"We just need one more person… Stanley" Said Ford, "Stanley get in here."
"You realize this is a bunch of Hogwash right." Said Stan, "A bunch of cave man graffiti."
"Stan… half of us arte wizards from another dimension, we just had flying talking cats that just left, less than 10 minutes ago we were shot out of a giant robot that was built from your house and we're fighting a one eyed triangle demon." Said Gray, "I'm pretty sure that this is the least weird thing about this…"
"He's right you know…" said Erza.
"Dang it old man, now's not the time." Said Gideon.
"Stan come on! Don't do this!" yelled Natsu.
"What are you doing! You're going to ruin this!" said Pacifica.
"Stan, please we can't do this without you." Said Marvelous.
"I have never held hand this long and I'm very uncomfortable." Said Robbie.
"Whoa! Hey I'm, not the enemy here!" said Stan, "Don't forget who latterly
created the end of the world."
"I'm sorry Stanley, just fix this." Said Ford, "Just help me fix this, please."
"Fine just do one thing." Said Stan, "Say "thank you"."
"What?" asked Ford.
"I spent 30 years trying to bring you back to this dimension and you still haven't thanked. You want me to shake you hand, then say thank you." Said Stan.
"Fine thank you." Said Ford.
Stan stepped in and took Ford and Erza's hands.
Mirajane, Makarov and Erza al breathed a sigh of relief hoping that the two will finally talk things out.
"Now see between me and him, I'm not always the bad guy." Said Stan.
"Between Him and me…" said Ford, "Grammar Stanley!"
Stan got really angry. He let go of Erza's hand.
"I'll "grammar Stanley" you!" he yelled out as he punched him, "You stuck up son of a bitch! I mean come on!"
Ford let got of Mirajane and punched Stan back.
"Don't jeopardize this you idiot!" yelled Ford.
The others had no other choice to break up the circle.
Natsu grabbed Ford while Laxus grabbed Stan.
Erza and Mirajane got in between the two.
"Please calm down!" said Mirajane.
"You two can't get along for five seconds can you!" yelled Erza, "This is why I haven't' told you that Ford isn't kicking you out!"
The two clamed down due to their shock.
Erza blushed as she realize what she just said.
"What did you just say." Said Stan.
However none of them could work things out…
As Bill had arrived.
"Oh no it's Bill! Is that what you were all thinking!" said Bill, "Hey Gideon! Why aren't you dancing! Chop chop!"
Indeed the plan had failed… all because Ford and Stan just couldn't get along…
Next Time: With no other choice it's time for Plan T: Take Him by Storm! But even then will it work? Will someone have to make a unthinking able sacrifice in order to stop him? Find out next time!
