Chapter 5: Wax Figures Got a Whole lot More Creepier

Happy Birthday Vivziepop!

Hey everyone! The year of 2020 is almost over, let's hope that with the new year we start bettering ourselves for us, the community, and the world.

There's no Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss characters making an appearance in this chapter because I'm planning to have them come up at random and maybe more later in the second season.

It was a normal day for residents in the Mystery Shack Hazbin Hotel business was closed for the day and the kids were watching TV with Angel, Vaggie, Charlie, Alastor and Baxter. Mabel was knitting a new sweater and Dipper was eating pop-corn, but when Mabel tries to take a piece Dipper slaps her hand away without even taking his eyes off of the TV.

"I'm afraid your services won't be required here, sir. My men have examined the evidence, and this is obviously an accident." Said the constable character, as a duck in a green Sherlock Holmes hat waddles into the scene quacking as the subtitles translate the duck's quacks ["An accident, constable? Or is it..."] Pauses for dramatic effects and turns to the camera. ["Murder?!"] "What?!" cried the Constable. The title logo of the show pops up on the screen as the voice announcer says "Duck-tective will return after these messages."

Mabel drops her knitting sweater and needles, in shock and awe Mabel places her hands on her cheeks and said, "That duck is a genius!" "Yeah." Charlie agrees, while everyone gave them a questionable look. "Charlie. This is a kid show." Said Vaggie, "A really weird one." Angel added, "What has become of this world today's entertainment?" Alastor asked, "This is why I prefer reading." Said Baxter. Dipper just shrugged his shoulders, "Eh, everyone's trying to find different ways to make life more interesting. And besides, it's easier to find clues when you're that close to the ground." Mabel puts her hands on her hips, squinted her eyes at Dipper suspiciously and doubtfully ask, "Are you saying you could outwit Duck-tective?"

With confidence, Dipper replies "Mabel, I have very keen powers of observation. For example, just by smelling your breath, I can tell that you have been eating" he sniffs a little before coming to a weird shocking realization. "...an entire tube of toothpaste?!" "What?" The hotel residences couldn't believe what they heard, they turn to look at Mabel and ask if it was true. She only turned away from everyone so that they wouldn't see any of the leftover toothpaste around her mouth and answered, "It was so sparkly."

"Hey, dudes." Soos yells as he and Niffty ran into the living room, "You'll never guess what we found!" "Come on, guess!" Niffty cheered. "Buried treasure!" was Dipper's guess, "Buried—" Mabel pause before laughing at the realization that her brother beaten her to the punch, so she pushes him playfully on the shoulder and said, "Hey, I was gonna say that!" "Stan's secret bunny magazines stash?" Angel asked, Vaggie gave him an angry look while Mabel has sparkles in her eyes, "Stan love cute little bunnies!?" "Mabel, wrong kind of bunnies." Charlie corrects the twelve year old girl as Vaggie got up from her spot and said, "Let's just follow them to what they had found and get this over with."

And so, Soos and Niffty to what they had found, "So, me and Niffty was cleaning up, when we found this secret door, hidden behind the wallpaper." Soos explains as they came to the hidden door, "It's crazy bonkers creepy!" Niffty opens the secret door, and inside the room is filled with several different sculptures of people from history and in fictional stories.

Dipper turns on his flashlight shining it around the figures, "Whoa! It's a secret wax museum!" "Why did Stan lock this away?" Charlie asked out loud, "Didn't make enough money, I bet." Said Angel, Mabel ran her finger over the wax figure of Sherlock Holmes and commented, "They're so life-like." Dipper shines the flashlight up to a Stan statues and points at it, "Except for that one." "Hello!" the Stan statue greeted them, but also scaring everyone enough to make their hearts stop for a good five seconds.

Stan chuckles and said, "It's just me, your Grunkle Stan!" but the kids, Baxter and Soos screamed even louder in fright and ran out of the room. Stan just laughs at their reaction and Angel joins in on the laugh while the girls, minus Niffty, look at him with disappointment, "Oh, come on. Ya got to admit it was funny." Said Stan, "Maybe a little." Vaggie said, "But it wasn't really nice though." Said Charlie, while Niffty asked, "How did you get in here before we did?"

Stan chuckles again and said, "A conman never tells his secrets. I'm the master of stealth, I sneak up on everyone!" "Are you sure about that?" Stan jolted and ran out of the room screaming, Charlie turn of the lights to reveal Alastor who was standing where Stan was. "I do believe I hold up to that title of 'Master of Stealth' now."

"Behold the Gravity Falls Wax Museum! It was one of our most popular attractions... before I forgot all about it." Says Stan, as he, Dipper, Mabel, Baxter and Soos came back to the hidden room after they calm down. "I got 'em all! Genghis Khan, Sherlock Holmes, some kind of, I don't know, goblin man?" "Stan. That's Larry King, the most well known talk show host of all times." Said Vaggie, Stan just shrugs and reply, "Still looks more like a goblin man to me."

Dipper shudders at the wax statues as if they were staring at him, "Is anyone else getting the creeps here?" he asked, "I'll admit it's weird seeing the dead in life like figures, but that smell is disgusting." Said Angel as he covered his nose, "Ugh. Stan, do you ever keep this place clean?" Niffty asked as she wave her in the air to fan the smell out of her face. "Strangest odor I'd ever smelled."

Ignoring their complaints Stan continued on with his tour "And now for my personal favorite: Wax Abraham Lincoln, right over—" and at that moment, the wax statue of the 16th president of the United States is nothing more than melted glob of wax on the floor, which ironically is under sunlight from the window above it. "Oh! Oh no! Come on, who left the blinds open? Wax John Wilkes Booth, I'm looking in your direction!" The sinners couldn't help themselves laughing at Stan accusing a wax figure of the assassin. It's funny because it's true. "I don't know if you're being serious or not." Charlie commented through her giggles.

"Both." Stan replies as he bends down and touch the melted wax while letting out sighs, "How do you fix a wax figure?" Mabel walks over to her Gunkle and said, "Cheer up, Grunkle Stan. Where's that smile?" Stan only grunted with an, "Egh." And Mabel cheerfully pokes Stan in the face "Beep, bop, boop!" but her last poke got him in the eye, "Ow."

"Don't worry, Grunkle Stan. I'll make you a new wax figure from all this old wax!" Mabel promised, "Oh! Can I help? I love crafting!" said Niffty raising her hand in the air. "*gasp* We can be crafting buddies! Yay!" Mabel cheered, Stan got up and asked, "You girls really think you can make one of these puppies?" "Grunkle Stan, I'm an arts and crafts master. Why do you think I always have this glue gun stuck to my arm? Eugh, eugh!" Mabel shows her arm that does have a glue gun glued tight to her sweater fabric and no matter how much she tries to shake it off it didn't get any looser. "And I'm a very nifty to crafting anything. Why do you think my name is Niffty?" "It's true, she lives up to her name." Alastor confirmed.

Stan point a finger gun at them and said, "I like your gumption, kids!" "Arigatō sutan." Niffty beamed happily, "I don't know what that word means but thank you!" said Mabel, and at that moment, Husk walks over to the wax room with a grouchy look on his face. Well... more grouchy than before. "Can someone tell me why the hell my tube of toothpaste is empty?" Husk demand hold up a dried up empty toothpaste.

"Ugh. I am so glad to be far away from that awful smell." Said Vaggie, "I get that it was stuffy and musky in there, but I didn't smell anything too bad in there." Says Dipper as he takes a soda out of the fridge and hands another one to Angel, "That's because you don't have the senses of a demon, Dipper."

Dipper looks up to the radio demon and ask, "How strong are demon senses?" "It depends on what type of demon. Many of us take on animal like forms of demon or mythical creatures." Alastor answered, "Take Angel and Vaggie for example, they're bug type demons. Angel's a spider demon and Vaggie is a moth demon. And Niffty is a cyclops." Said Charlie, "Even my girl buddy is a cyclops too." Angel chimes in as he takes a sip of the pitt cola before coughing up an actual pit into his hand. "Why would a soda have real pit in it?" "That's just weird." Baxter commented.

The group decides to head back to where Mabel and Niffty are working while Dipper was taking notes in his head to add this new information about demons into the Journal. But what they didn't expect to see Mabel and Niffty jumping up in front of them. "Hey guys!" Their surprise made Dipper to choke on his soda being the big brother figure he is, Angel gentle patted Dipper's back to get the soda out of his windpipes.

"What do you think of my wax figure idea?" Mabel shows them her drawing she sketched in her sketch-book. "She's part fairy princess, and part horse fairy princess!" The drawing didn't look good and the idea was a little out there. "Ehh... It's something." Angel replies, "It looks little too difficult to make." Baxter stated while Dipper suggest "M...maybe you should carve something from real life."

"What about mine?" Niffty show them her sketches, everyone paled because what she drawn was girls and guys lying in a heart formation covered in red with her and her ideal boyfriend in the center. "That is so romantic." Said Mabel, "How about something that has less red to it." Alastor suggested, "And doesn't involve death." Vaggie mutters under her breath. Mabel made a quick sketch and shows them her new idea "Like a waffle, with big arms!" "Oh! And maybe with syrup coming our of it!" Niffty suggest. "Yeah!" Mabel cheered with excitement.

"Y-okay... Or, you know, something else." Dipper tried to get them thinking for more ideas, "Like- like someone in your family." "Or your friends." Charlie suggested, and at that moment Stan walks in the room with no pants on and strike a poses on a briefcase like a look out sailor and said, "Kids, have you seen my pants?"

With the perfect idea in mind, Mabel turns around, looks up to the sky with big eyes, "Oh, muse. You work in mysterious ways." Stan drops his poses and ask Dipper, "Why's your sister talking to the ceiling?" Dipper didn't answer, but Alastor voiced his answer, "It would seem that Mabel dear has found her idea. Might I suggest leaving them to their work?" "And in the meantime, you guys can help me find my pants."

Time Skip Montage

The speed of these girls are unbelievable, with each of them taking turns to carve the wax statue and painting it into the most likeness of the person is phenomenal. And it only took them four and a half days to make.

By now, Mabel, Dipper, Niffty and Soos were standing back and admiring the wax statue to see if there's any more touch ups to be made. "I think... it needs more glitter." "Agreed." Soos hands Niffty a bucket of glitter who then tosses the entire bucket onto the statue like paint. Stan walks in with his pants on but not his shoes "I found my pants but now I'm missing my—" it was then he notices what wax statue Mabel and Niffty made. "Ahhh!" The wax statue scared Stan so much he falls over onto his back in fright.

Niffty and Mabel walks over to where Stan has fallen over, and Mabel ask, "What do you think?" "I think..." Stan started off before scooping the girls in his arms, "The Wax Museum's back in business!"

The Next Day

Everyone at the hotel shack were busy getting everything set up for the grand re-opening of the Mystery Shack's Wax Museum, Charlie and Vaggie were getting the tables and seats set up, Alastor was helping with arranging the speakers on the podium stage, Husk was just mining the outdoor bar stand or wet bar as some would call it, and Niffty was helping Stan with spreading the flyers around town.

Soon cars and people were making their way to the Shack and Hotel. Soos is leading people into the parking space with corndogs, he even took a bite out of one. While Dipper is working in the stand with Wendy, "I can't believe this many people showed up." Dipper complemented, "I know, right? Your uncle probably bribed them or something." Dipper pulls out a $20 bill from his vest pocket and said, "He bribed me." Wendy also pulls out a $20 bill, the two of them shared a laugh. Hey if things don't go so well, at least they got money. "By the way, where's that Angel dude and the new guy?" Wendy asked, "I think they're in the hotel's kitchen."

Dipper didn't get a chance to talk more when Stan walks on to the podium with Mabel, Niffty and Charlie standing by, he clears his throat over the microphone causing everyone to cover their ears at the painful screeching audio speakers. "You all know me, folks! Town darling, "Mr. Mystery." Please, ladies, control yourselves!" Few of the women in the audience were just giving Stan blank stares as flies swarm around them. "As you know, I always bring the people of this fair town novelties and befuddlements, the likes of which the world, has never known. But enough about me. Behold... me!"

Stan pulls the sheet off of Mabel and Niffty's wax sculpture of nice almost perfect replica of Stan Pines. Soos plays a fanfare sound on his keyboard, then makes a "Ye-ah! Ye-ye-ye-ye-ye-ah!" sound off from the keys. The reaction from the audience were only two people politely clapping and a cough in the background.

"Yeesh. This is going terrible." Vaggie commented as Stan announces the master mind behind to making the statue, "And now a word from our own Mabelangelo and Crafty Niffty!" "It's Mabel." Mabel took the microphone and held it between her and Niffty, "Thank you for coming! we made this sculpture with our own two hands!" Niffty hold onto the microphone as Mabel raised both her arms up and announces, "It's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids!"

The audience all cringe in disgust and made gagging noises at the very thought of it. Luckily Niffty intervene, "No. It's not made out of any of that. It's just simple wax clay in paint. Though if it wasn't then that's totally gross. Also, the wax Stan isn't the only new Statue that's been added to the Mystery Shack Museum."

Now that got everyone's attention, including Stan, Mabel, Dipper, Charlie and Vaggie. "Did you guys know about this?" Dipper asked, "No. It would seem that Niffty had this surprise in stored for us." Said Alastor, Mabel chuckles before saying, "Yeah. I will now take questions!" and points to the first person who raised their hand first. Which happens to be Old Man McGucket. "You there!"

"Old Man McGucket, local kook. Are the wax figures alive? And follow-up question, can I survive the wax-man uprising?" That was a weird question, Mabel gave him an unsure answer, "Um...Yes! Next question!"

The next person was an old ugly looking man who looks like a reporter from the past, he holds up a microphone and said, "Toby Determined, Gravity Falls Gossiper. Do you really think this constitutes a wonder of the world?" but Stan knew that wasn't a really microphone, "Your microphone's a turkey baster, Toby." "It certainly is—" the old reporter says dejectedly, "Next question." Stan shouted as he points to another reporter, "Shandra Jimenez, a real reporter. Your flyers promised free pizza with admission to this event. Is this true?" Shows flyer of the pizza that looks almost like a Pac-man with a Fez.

Everyone in the audience were crying out "That's what I heard!" "Come on!" "What a rip-off!" "Pizza?" "I want my pizza!" before Stan could say "That was a typo." And make his escape with the admission fee, Charlie went up to the mic and said, "We do have Pizza, one of our staff is in the process of having them made, bake—" "And is ready to be served."

All heads in the audience turn to see Baxter and Angel setting the tables with freshly six baked pizzas, four large pizzas for the adults and two small pizzas for the kids. The people cheered and rush over to get their hands on free pizza. "Everyone please, there's enough single slices for all of ya' and the next two batches will be done in about five- ten minutes or so." Angel tries to keep the hungry people in line and not have them to start a mob.

"Wow, everyone seem to just want the pizza instead of coming to the re-opening." Charlie commented, "That jerk better not ruin this event." "I don't think well have any problems dear." Said Alastor as he points to the swarm of people eating Angel's pizzas. All of the towns folks and tourists partake eating Angel's homemade pizzas all of them were saying, "This is amazing!" "This is the best pizza I've ever had!" One guy in a pizza shirt just cuddled with Angel's pizza like it was a kitten, and Manly Dan was shoving five slices of meat lovers topping in his mouth.

Mabel walks over to the admission table, leans on it, and declared, "I think that went well." "Hey! Can I get a hand over here!" Angel called out, "These pizzas are going fast, and we need help." As soon as Baxter said that, Charlie and Vaggie rush over and help them with the door and bring out the next full sized pizzas.

Time Skip

After a long day of baking and serving pizzas, everyone was relaxing at the Mystery Shack, "Man, I can't believe they ate all 15 pizzas." said Dipper as he, Mabel and the rest of the hotel residencies were eating the left over pizzas that Angel manage to save for them. "I'll say, these pizzas are great!" Mabel cheers as she shoves two piece into her mouth. "Your going to choke, Mabel." Vaggie warned, Charlie turns to Angel and ask, "How did you know how to cook so good, Angel?" "Let's just Alastor isn't the only one who learned cooking from his mother."

"Your mom taught you how to cook?" Dipper asked, Mabel inhaled a gasp and starts coughing on her pizza, "See what I'd told you?" said Vaggie as she, Charlie and Niffty gently patted her back. Angel gave him a small smile, "Yeah, she did. 'It's part of our family's culture and a way of knowing where your family is from.' That's what she told me." "That is so amazing, Angel!" Charlie beams at Angel happily. Alastor turns his attention away from Angel's mother's cooking story for a moment to talk to Niffty, "By the way, Niffty darling. What other statues were you making?" Niffty replies, "It's a surprise, but they're not finished yet. I'm only half way done."

And at that moment, Stan walks in the living room counting the money he'd gotten today. "Hot pumpkin pie! Look at all this cash! And I owe it all to one person, this guy!" he points to his wax figure of himself. Mabel and Niffty jokingly for not punches Stan in the gut. "Ooh!" he playfully laughs and Noogies the two girls "Yeah, you too, ya little gremlins. Now you kids wash up. We got another long day of fleecing rubes tomorrow." "Wait, what?" "Go, go!"

As Dipper and Mabel went to their room to change and get ready for bed, and Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Alastor, Niffty and Husk exited the shack. Stan leans on his waxed self and sighs, "Kids."

Time Skip

Later at night, Stan was watching TV with his wax-self of another episode of the family children's show, Duck-tective. "Well, duck-tective, it seems you've really quacked the case." Said the Constable, while the Duck detective quacks, ["Don't patronize me."]

Stan Laughs at the screen "Stupid duck!" he comments, he got up and walks around the wax version of himself "Well, I'm gonna use the john. You need anything?" he turns to ask his waxy twin and then laughs, "I love this guy! Don't you go nowhere."

As Stan left the room, he failed to notice some person or something emerging from the shadows.

Meanwhile

At the time Dipper and Mabel were brushing their teeth, until Mabel stops and ask, "Dipper, you wanna do a toothbrush race?" not taking his eyes off the mirror and replied with his toothbrush still in his mouth, "Okay."

"No... No... Noooooo!"

Hearing their Gunkle's screaming, Dipper and Mabel stop brushing and look at each other with worry before washing off the paste and rush downstairs to see what has happened. The doors to the shack opens revealing Charlie and the others dressed in their pajamas and nightgowns. "What happened? We heard screaming!" Charlie ask franticly, she and Vaggie were wearing thin strap tops with pajama shorts, Charlie, and pajama pants, Vaggie.

"Don't know, we were just on our way to find Stan. Wait, is Angel wearing a facial mask?" Mabel asked, Angel was indeed wearing one, "Hey, it takes a lot of work to look this gorgeous." He talked back, "Never mind that now, Stan's in trouble." Charlie cuts in as she and everyone went to find Stan.

But when they got to the living room where Stan is standing, the room look something out of a horror movie. The walls, furnitures, and the carpet are clawed, shredded, and torn up to pieces. Piece of broken shelves and knickknacks were scattered across the floor.

Stan turns to them and said "Wax Stan! He's been... m-murdered!" laying on the floor is now the headless wax Stan, and to ad for effect the cook-cook owl clock, which surprisingly is still in one piece, bongs three times. At the sight of their crafting work, Mabel faints and Niffty screech.

Time Skip

A half an hour later, the police car was park in front of the Mystery Shack and the same officers from two days ago were in the shack as Stan is in the middle of explaining the situation to them, "I got up to use the john, right? And when I come back, blammo! He's headless! And everything in the living room is in shreds!"

Mabel was on her knees in despair for her and Niffty's masterpiece, "My expert handcrafting... besmirched. Besmiiiirrrched!" "When I find out how destroyed our beautiful masterpiece... They are going to wish they were never born!" Niffty vowed in anger, Alastor puts a hand on her shoulder and Dipper did the same to Mabel, and voiced everyone's thoughts "Who would do something like this?"

Deputy police, Durland, stops writing in the hand notebook and ask, "What's your opinion, Sheriff Blubs?" the old Sheriff in black shades turns to them and said, "Look, we'd love to help you folks, but let's face the facts... this case is unsolvable." Vaggie, Charlie, Angel, Alastor, Niffty, Husk, Dipper, Mabel, and Stan screamed, "What?!" at the sheriff in surprise, outrage of the officer's responds. "Are you blind!?" Vaggie shouts, while Stan points at Blubs and shouts, "You take that back, Sheriff Blubs!"

"You're kidding, right?" said Dipper, "There must be evidence, motives. You know, I could help if you want." The young boy rubs his arm nervous, as his sister stands up for her brother's offer, "He's really good. He figured out who was eating our tin cans!" "All signs pointed to the goat." Husk mutters under his breath, "That's a no brainer." And takes a sip of his beer bottle. Alastor elbows his friend in the gut, and said to the officers, "It's pretty obvious that we had a break in and who ever did all of this has a wild beast on them. I myself, am a hunter I'll be happy to tack down who ever attacked here."

Stan agrees with his grandnephew's and Alastor's offer, "Yeah, yeah! Let the boy and the gentleman help. The kid's got a little brain up in his head and he'll know how what animal did this." But the police wasn't taking the whole offer serious and starts mocking him, "Oooh! Would you look at what we got here! City boys thinks their gonna solve a mystery with their fancy computer phone!" said Blubs while Durland hollers, "City boooys! City booooooys!"

None of the demons/sinners couldn't believe what they are hearing, "You're seriously not going to write a report on this?!" Vaggie asked angerly, "There's been a break-in, destroyed properties, and an attempted murder!" Charlie listed the crimes that has been committed here, But Blubs only said, "You youngsters are adorable!" Every members of the Hazbin Hotel and Dipper raised an eyebrow at them, "Adorable?" Dipper repeats as the two cops laugh at them. "Look, P.J.'s, how about you leave the investigating to the grown-ups, okay?" If they weren't hiding their demonic selves, they would have skin these two irresponsible cops alive and then give them a slow and painful death.

Suddenly, Blub's walkie talkie went off as the man on the other end said, "Attention, all units. Steve is about to fit an entire cantaloupe in his mouth. Repeat, an entire cantaloupe!" "It's a 23-16!" Durland cried out, "Let's move!" and the two policemen runs off back to their car laughing. "Those guys should be fired from their jobs." Vaggie grumbles at them leaving. "But you have to admit, they are a nice couple for each other." Said Angel.

Not wanting to let those officers words get to him or the others, Dipper turns to Angel, Charlie, Alastor, Mabel, Niffty, and Husk and said, "That's it! Guys, we are going to find the jerk who did this and get back that head. Then we'll see who's adorable."

But at that moment, Dipper let out the most cutest sneezes ever, which ruined the whole moment. "Aww, you sneeze like a kitten!" said Mabel, as Charlie and Niffty awe at how cute and adorable Dipper sneezes were, while Vaggie, Angel tried their best not to laugh while Dipper glares at the five of them, while Alastor only gave Dipper a small smile and Husk wasn't amused in the slightest.

Time Skip

The next morning, everyone, minus Stan, was back in the living room with Dipper and Mabel studying the crime scene. Dipper had made a list of names and photos of people who should up yesterday, ""Wax Stan has lost his head and it's up to us to find it." Mabel was taking pictures of the wax corpse.

"There were a lot of people at the unveiling, anyone of them could have done it." Said Vaggie, then Charlie ask, "But why would anyone do it? What do they have to gain?" Angel answers, "Well, just by seeing everyone not giving a damn about the wax museum and only cared about the free pizzas. Plus Stan mentioned he was bribing them with false promises to come." "But there was free pizza." Charlie said slightly confusingly, "Imagen that it didn't happen." Alastor clarifying what Angel is saying.

Dipper wave his hand in the air to get their attention, "Guys, lets get back on track. We know not a lot of people don't like Grunkle Stan, so the murderer could have been anyone." "Yeah! Even us!" Mabel chimes in, as Dipper pulls out the Journal and starts flipping through the pages, "In this town, anything is possible. Ghosts, zombies, it could be months before we find our first clue." Mabel quickly points to the floor and said, "Hey, look! A clue." "Or a few seconds." Said Niffty.

There in the carpet were shoeprints each of different sizes, "Footprints in the shag carpet!" Dipper exclaimed, "That's weird. They've got a hole in them." Mabel commented, "So we're dealing with a junky who has holes in their shoes." Said Husk, "And they're leading to..." Dipper and Mabel followed the footprints behind the sofa and found an ax. "An ax. The murder's weapon." Said Alastor, "Now all we need to do is find out who it belongs to."

The twins decided to take the weapon to Soos, who was working in the gift shop, to see if he knows anything about it or who owns it. Angel was wearing gloves to show him the weapon, "So, what do you think?" Dipper asked, and Soos' reply, "In my opinion: this is an ax." "We know it's an ax, what we want to know is where did this belongs to?" just then, Mabel had a sudden thought, "Wait a minute. The lumberjack!" she and Dipper both exclaimed in unison, "Of course!" "Oh, you mean Manly Dan. Yeah, he hangs out at this crazy intense biker joint downtown." Said Soos pointing his thumb at the door.

"Then that's where we're going." Said Mabel, "Going where?" everyone turn to see Wendy walking towards them, "We had a break here in the shack last night, and someone left their ax behind along with many damages in the living room." Said Baxter, "Not to mention wax Stan's been copped clean off, thinking it was actually the real Stan pines." Mabel announce, "We think it's Manly Dan who did it."

Wendy's eyes widen and said, "Whoa, hold up there. My dad isn't a murder if you don't count him copping down trees." Charlie hold up her hands to calm her down, "We don't really know for sure, your dad does seem a likely suspect." "He punched a wooden poll stand with his bare fist when we were out of Pizza." Angel cuts in, "We're just going to ask him some questions and if he the one who did it, he's good." Charlie finishes. Wendy gave them a 'hmm' shrug and said, "Well as long as my dad's innocent we're cool. Good luck finding the real killer." And went back to work.

"Dude, this is awesome." Said Soos, "You two are like: The Mystery Twins!" he points to Dipper and Mabel, "And you dudes are like: The Dark Spirits Seekers!" Dipper quickly said, "Don't call us that." While Charlie being the kind girl she is said, "We'll work on the name change later." And followed everyone out the door.

When they were leaving, they saw Stan pulling a coffin out of his car, he calls them over, "Hey, give me a hand with this coffin, will ya? I'm doin' a memorial service for wax Stan. Something small, but classy." Angel, Vaggie, Alastor and Baxter raised an eyebrow, "Isn't that a little too much?" said Vaggie, "Nope." Stan grunted as he pulls the whole coffin out of the car. "Sorry, Grunkle Stan, but we have got a big break in the case!" Dipper explains, while Mabel cheers, "Break in the case!"

Dipper went back to explaining their reasons, "We're heading to the town right now to interrogate the possible would-be murderer." Mabel pulls out the ax in Dipper's bag, that Angel put in before they left the shack, "We have an axe!" and then starts making a horror movie screeching noises "REE, REE, REE!" "Mabel! Don't touch it when you don't have gloves on. You could be ruining possible figure prints on it."

Stan thought about this whole ordeal, "Hm, seems like the kind of thing that responsible parents wouldn't want you to do... Good thing I'm an uncle." With one foot on the coffin, Stan shakes his fist in the air and said, "Avenge me kids! AVENGE MEEE!" and so, everyone head into town, while Charlie's demon familiars Razzle and Dazzle watch over the hotel.

Time Skip

When they got into town, the gang was around the corner of the bar joint Soos told them, while Dipper and Mabel were sneaking behind a dumpster like detective spies. Alastor looks at them and lets out a laugh, "Ha ha. You kids and your fun senses of childish antics."

Dipper looks at the note for the direction and confirmed, "This is the place." Peeking around the corner, Dipper let out a small gasp when the guard saw him, he asked Mabel, "You guys got your fake IDs?" "Of course, but you should let us handle this." Said Charlie, "But I made ones for me and Dipper." Mabel pulls out the IDs she made and shows them, and their reaction. Angel lets out a snort chuckling, Vaggie find this ridiculous, Alastor's grin lessen, and Husk just deadpan at it, "Yeah, that's not going to work."

"Oh yeah? we'll see about that." Mabel challenge them, Dipper also didn't like IDs but just want to get this integration over with. "Here goes nothing." The walk out of the corner just in time to see the buff guard saying "Sorry, but we don't serve miners." To an actual Miner who yells, "Daaaannnnng'nab it!" spitting on the road before walking away in anger. Before Angel, Husk or Alastor could speak, Mabel beats them to the punch and showed the fake IDs she made which were made with glitter, raw macaroni, fake curled black mustaches, and googly eyes. "We're here to interrogate Manly Dan the lumber jack for the murder of wax Stan. Dedledle-e." she says, jiggling her card. 'This isn't going to work.' "Works for me." The guard opens door for them, as the sinners just gap at what just transpire.

Insane. That's the one word that everyone was thinking when they saw what the bar is like. Bunch of motor bikers fighting each other, cursing, gambling, and drinking beer. "My kind of place." Said Husk, "Now you'll shits know where to find me if I'm not at the hotel." Husk then left the group and joins in a round of poker with some bikers betting in a whole lot of cash.

Making their way to the bar table and avoiding any flying fits, Mabel walks over a biker who was laying on the floor. Taking one look at the guy she said, "He's resting." But the man wasn't moving. Or breathing. "He sure is, sweetie." Said Alastor.

Looking around the bar, the guys spotted Manly Dan playing an arm wrestling game and was winning. "I see the guy." Said Baxter, "We'll deal with him while you gals wait here and keep an eye on Husker and Mabel." Before Vaggie could retaliate, Charlie agrees to them. "Alright, let's just try to blend in, ok?" Dipper says to his sister who replies, "You got it, Dipping sauce." Mabel climbs onto a bar chair and talks to one of the bikers "Hey there, fellow restaurant patron! Bap" she pats his arm, only to make the man growl at her. But backed off when the ladies of hell gave him vicious glares.

Meanwhile

Manly Dan hollers "AAAAAGHHHH!" giving all of his strength into the game. Dipper came up to the muscled lumberjack, "Manly Dan, just the guy we wanted to see. Where were you last night?" "Punchin' the clock." He yells, "You were at work." Said Baxter, "No, I was punchin' that clock!" Manly Dan points to a broken clock poll outside. "So he literally punched a clock." Angel deadpanned, "And it was 10 o'clock, the time of the murder." Alastor confirmed. Dipper put on some gloves and pulls out the ax from his bag and ask, "So, I guess you've never seen this before?"

Manly Dan shouts, "Listen, little girl!" Angel narrowed his eyes at the hairy man, "What was that?" he demanded, while Dipper tries to correct the guy, "Hey, actually I'm a—" but didn't get to finish his sentence. "I wouldn't pick my teeth with that ax. It's left handed! I only use my right hand." He rips the machine's arm off of the game, "The MANLY HAND!" and then beats it at the machine. The pug baby face from the fishing day came over and giggly chanting, "Get 'im! Get 'im!"

"Left handed..." Dipper repeats in question, "Well you've been a great help, good sir. We'll be taking our leave now." Said Alastor, "Let's go get the girls, and Husk." As they walk back to them, they were surprise at what they saw.

Charlie was drinking a Paloma, Vaggie was arm wrestling with muscled biker and winning, and finally. Mabel and Niffty were playing cootie catcher with the biker that growled at Mabel earlier. "How!? We were gone for like almost a minute!?" Angel flabbergasted at what he is seeing here, Charlie shrugged her shoulders, "We weren't sure how long you guys were gonna take. So we decided to hang out a little bit." Charlie answers, "3, 4, 5, 6." Mabel, Niffty, and the biker counted, as Mabel looks at the side and said, "*Gasp* Your wife is gonna be beautiful." The biker pumps his arm in victory, "Yes!"

Dipper walks over to them, "Girls, big break in the case!" Alastor came up behind him, "We got a new lead on our target, let's round up Husker and get out of here." "Fine." The girls replied, Charlie finishes her drink and pay the bartender, Vaggie slams her opponent's arm down nearly pulling the muscle on the guy. And Mabel and Niffty jump off from the chairs and follow them. The Biker cries, "But will she love me?!" Niffty hollers, "She will! And you will love her too!"

"Husk! We're leaving!" Vaggie yelled, and it was perfect timing, Husk slams his hand down announcing, "read 'em and weep, boys. Five Aces." All of the bikers throw their hands in the air and pound on the table as Husk collects the winnings. "Catch you guys later with more winnings to bet." "HUSK!" cringing at his name being called by Charlie, Husk points his finger at them, "Till next time." The bikers growled in anger at Husk, oh they were never going to forget.

Once they were out of the bar, the guys were giving Charlie and Vaggie a lecture. "I'm surprise of you Charlie. Drinking alcohol when you're trying to discourage sin." Said Alastor, Angel points to Vaggie, "And you, Vags! This is a bit hypocritical of you. But holy shit you're strong." Vaggie just gave the Spider in kinky boots a smirk that says, "Of course I am."

Ignoring the swearing, Dipper pulls out the list of suspects and said, "Guys, the murderer" "Right, so what did Manly Dan had to say?" Charlie asked, Dipper shows her the names of suspects and box areas of who is right or left handed. "It's a left handed ax. These are all our suspects. Manly Dan is right handed, that means all we have to do is find our left handed suspect and we've got our killer."

Mabel announces, "Oh man, we are on fire today!" she formed her hand into guns and starts shooting the sky, "Pa-zow, Pa-zow, Pa-zow!" Dipper turns to her and said, "Let's find that murderer." and fist bumps with her. "I think we should go to the police first." Said Baxter, "Mabel did touch the ax, but we need to see if the 'killer' left his or her fingerprints." Mabel let a dramatic sigh, "Okay, if you want to do the easy boring way." "It's the quickest way, Mabel." Said Vaggie.

Alastor thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you two go with Baxter and Niffty to narrow down the suspects while we're talk to the police about the fingerprints." "Okay" Niffty and Mabel said, while Baster and Dipper were a little unsure. They want to go to with them to the police, but at the same time the want to see if they didn't miss any mistakes on the clues of suspects and don't want to miss out on exploring the town.

So it came down to an agreement. Baxter, Niffty, Dipper and Mabel go investigate the suspects who are left handed while Alastor, Angel, Charlie, Vaggie and Husk go to the police station with the ax and meet up when they found their main prime suspect.

Time Skip with Alastor, Angel, Charlie, Vaggie and Husk

The demons made it to the police station, Charlie was asking for Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland while the others were waiting by in the lobby, Vaggie turns to Alastor who was humming a tune and said, "Alright, cheesy Radio host. You know something, what is it?" Vaggie point a finger at Alastor, "Yes indeed-y, my dear." He said, "The claw markings we saw are not of from any animal here in Origan. These are more demon like claw marks." Husk raised an eyebrow, "Are you shitting me?" "Hmm... No I don't think so." Alastor replied.

Vaggie moan/sigh and said, "Look, I know you've been in hell for so long as Angel. But do you really think you're might be confusing the claw marks with other animals?" "Call it a hunk, my dear. These marks shows only the front claw marks and none of the back." Alastor answers.

Charlie came back with the two police men, "So where is this ax you have found?" Angel stood up with the ax in his hands. Blubs took out a UV light and aim it on the ax handle, and what it showed made all of the sinners and demons baffled. "No prints at all." Said Blubs, "That's not right. Mabel's prints should have shown." Said Angel, and speaking of the devil, Angel's phone went off.

Pulling out his phone, Angel sees a message from Niffty. "Oh hell. Dipper, Mabel, Nif and Bax found the culprit." "What?!" the Hazbins and the policemen exclaimed, "Yeah, they came to the last suspect and are at the guy's location already." He shows them his phone that has the address and picture of their location.

"You're kidding?" said Charlie, "No. Turns out the people they met don't live too far from each other." "Might as well go then." Said Durland. And so, the demons holler a taxi to drive them to Gravity Falls Gossiper with the police car in front.

Time Skip

Once they've met up with Dipper, Mabel, Niffty and Baxter at the Gravity Falls Gossiper. The group took this moment to discuss the suspect. "Are you quite certain that this man is the attempted murderer?" Alastor questioned the kids, "He's the only one left on the list." Said Dipper, "It all adds up!" said Mabel. Blubs turns to them and said, "You kids better be right about this or you'll never get the end of it." Dipper reassures him, "The evidence is irrefutable." "It's so irrefutable." Said Mabel.

Durland cires out, "I gonna get to use my matchstick!" Blubs turns to him and ask, "You ready? You ready little fella?" the two then let out "Woo, woo!" cries and poke each other with their police batons all playfully and childishly. Angel just shook his head at them, 'Are they trying to show their love for each other, or dropping bad hints, or maybe their being stupidly flirty with each other and not announcing their feelings to the world?' no matter what he thought, Angel just couldn't rap his head around these coppers.

Dipper turn the police and said, "On 3! 1, 2, ..." he never got to say three when the deputy smashes the door open like a crazy five year old. "Nobody move! This is a raid!" Blubs shouted, the sheriff's shout scared the ugly old reporter off from his seat and onto the floor, "What is this? Some kind of raid?" Toby asked, as Durland smashes a lamp off of the desk with his baton. "Derp!" Dipper walks over and said, "Toby Determined, you're under arrest for murder of the wax body of Grunkle Stan." And Mabel said, "You have the right to remain impressed with our awesome detective work." She, Dipper, Baxter and Niffty high five each other full of confidents.

Toby looks at them confused, "Gobbling goose feathers! I don't understand!" he asked, Dipper then explains how he was hoping to get a great scoop on the Stan's new attraction and that it would save his failing newspaper, but with how things turned out at the event, and not getting an interview with Angel's pizza recipe, he decided to make his own headline. Literally. Mabel holds up a newspaper with a picture of Wax Stan's head before crumbling it up, "Toby Determined, you're yesterday's news."

The demons were impressed with Dipper's deduction, Toby did seem to be the main suspect and the motive does seem to add up. But there was also the claw marks, where do they play in the part? "Boy, your little knees must be sore... from jumping to conclusions." Toby did a little dances with a "Hachacha!" and said, "I had nothing to do with that murder."

Dipper "I knew it!" Dipper shouted, but then Toby's words sink in, "Wait, what did you say? Nothing? You say nothing?" Mabel, Niffty and Baxter overlaps with Dipper, "Huh? What? Could you repeat?" "Are you lying?" "That can't be right?"

Alastor stares down at the old reporter, "And to be clear, you don't own any sort of pets, do you?" "I'm allergic to all sorts of animals." Everyone took a huge one step back, "Then where were you at the night of the break-in?" Sheriff Blubs asked, Toby made an uneased expression before turning on the TV and rewinding the time of the incident. It showed him pulling out a cardboard cutout of Shandra Jimenez out of his closet, "Finally, we can be alone, cardboard cutout of TV news reporter Shandra Jimenez!" he starts kissing it as if it were the real Shandra Jimenez.

Everyone's reactions were a mixer of gross, disgust, shock, and feeling like they want to throw-up, with a hint of laughing in the gagging, "Eeeewwww! Yuck!" "That is the most sickening thing I have ever seen!" "Another reason why I don't like or trust men!" "I'm gonna bleach my eyes after this." "Wait, I thought you were into this sort of thing?" Charlie whispers to Angel, "Yeah, but now. I like to take that rehabilitation seriously." The porn star replies.

Blubs announces, "Timestamp confirms. Toby, you're off the hook. You freak of nature." Toby let out a small weak, "Hooray!" Dipper cuts in, "But, but it has to be him! Did you guys check the ax for fingerprints?!" "We did, Dipper, said Vaggie, "But there were no finger prints, not even Mabel's prints were shown." "No prints?" Dipper repeated, Deputy Durland turns to Sheriff Blubs and Toby and said, "Hey I got a headline for you: city kids waste everyone's time." The three of them laugh at the mockery joke while Dipper and Mabel look at each other feeling completely embarrassed.

But the Demons on the other hand, they were not laughing, they were mad. With looks of rage and wanting to shed some blood. Not caring which one of the laughing heads it is.

"Boy, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I was you." Said Toby, "And you should be worried about me live streaming this video of you making out with standee cutout of the sexy hot news reporter to millions of people." Said Angel as holds up his phone which is still recording everything on the TV.

It was Toby's turn to be embarrassed. It got even more embarrassing when Charlie shrieked and covered her eyes, "Oh my god! He's taking off his Pants!" with that said, everyone bolted out of the building while covering their eyes.

Well, they needed to head back to the Shack anyway. And not for washing their eyes out with soap, water and bleach.

Time Skip

The reason why they need to be back, was because Stan's funeral is being held at night. The room where Mabel and Niffty made the wax Stan was now a memorial funeral with fake candle lighting stands around the room. Stan was standing on a stage next to the coffin of wax Stan and a picture frame of the two of them. Stan looks out in the audience and said, "Kids, Soos, work partners in business, lifeless wax figures, thank you all for coming." Vaggie quietly whispers over to Angel, "This is the most weirdest funeral I ever been too." "Same here toots." Angel whispers back, as Soos blows his noes with tears running down. "Come on, guys. Try to be a bit respectful for Stan." "Well let's hope this doesn't take long. I can't stand staying in this awful shit smell of a room." Husk grumbles.

Stan continues his speech, "Some people might say it's wrong for a man to love a wax replica of himself." Soos jumps up from his seat, shouts, and points, "They're wrong!" Stan raised his hands to calm his loyal employee, "Easy Soos. Wax Stan, I hope you're picking pockets in wax heaven. I'm sorry, I got glitter in my eye!" Stan wipes his eyes before crying and runs out of the room, and Soos runs after Stan, while crying too. "Ohhhhh duuuude..."

"Well that happened." Husk commented as Dipper sighs of how today went, "Those cops are right about me." Angel place his hand on Dipper's shoulder, "Don't let those dumbass cops get to ya." "Dipper, we've come so far, we can't give up now." Mabel tries reassures her brother.

But Dipper didn't have the energy, he stands up and walks over to the coffin, "But I considered everything: the weapon, the motive, the clues..." Dipper sighs again and looks inside coffin, when he did, Dipper notice something about the statue he didn't notice before. "Wax Stan's shoe has a hole in it..." "What did you say?" Vaggie asked, as she and everyone look into the coffin to see the hole in the shoe, just as Dipper said. "All the wax guys have that. It's where the pole thingy attaches to their stand dealy." Mabel explains, "You mean, the pole base, my dear." Said Alastor.

Everything was starting to clear, Dipper realize the horrifying truth, "Wait a minute, what has a hole on its shoe and no fingerprints? Guys! The murderers are—" "Standing right behind you."

The twins and demons turn around to see all of the wax figures coming to life and walking towards them, while cutting off any ways of escaping. Dipper looks at all of the figures and list each one of them he sees, "Wax Sherlock Holmes! Wax Shakespeare! Wax Coolio?" he questioned, "Wha s'up Holmes?" Wax Coolio greets, as the Wax Lizzie Borden pulls the axe out from Mabel's hands. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Mabel backs up behind her brother in fright.

"I thought that ax was familiar." Said Alastor, "Congratulations, my young amateur sleuths, you have unburied the truth, and now we're going to bury you." Said Wax Sherlock Holmes pointing his magnifying glass at them threatening, "Bravo, Dipper Pines. You've discovered our little secret." He pulls the missing wax Stan's head out of his cape, showing that they were the ones behind the killing, Wax Holmes turns to his fellow wax figures and said, "Applaud, everyone, applaud sarcastically."

The wax figures Applaud, but it wasn't much of a sarcastic clapping more of a happy cheering applauding. Holmes quickly corrected their error, "Uh, no that sounds too sincere. Slow clap." They slow down their clapping to the wax detective's delight, "There we go, nice and condescending."

"This is quite a turning event." Said Alastor, as Dipper, still in shock at what is happening, ask, "But... how is this possible? You're made of wax!" "Are you..." said Mabel with hope and cute curiosity in her voice, "Magic?" the Wax Sherlock laughs at Mabel's innocents, "Are we magic? She wants to know if we're magic!" he stops laughing and slams his fist on the coffin close to Niffty's head, "We're CURSED!" he growled, as all of the other wax figures cried out, "Cursed! Cursed!"

Hearing that the wax figures are cursed, finally clicked in the sinners' minds. "That's it. That's what's been reeking. Your curse was giving off a disgusting sent." Wax Holmes nodded his head, "Yes we are cursed to come to life whenever the moon is waxing. Your uncle bought us many years ago at a garage sale." He told the young children, "A haunted garage sale, son!" the wax rapper pointed out.

And so, the cursed wax told them of how they were being sold for twenty dollars and how Stan Pines rob them from their previous owner, Angel, Baxter, and Husk snorted at how Stan said that he was going to rob the man when he wasn't looking so bluntly, and how the Mystery Shack Wax Collection was born. They were simple wax figures by day, but at night they were free to do whatever they please. "It was a charmed life for us cursed beings..." said wax Holmes, "That is, until your uncle closed up shop." When the money wasn't coming in, Stan lock them up in the room and boarded up the door and cover it with wallpaper. It wasn't until Soos sweep up the floor and found the knob to the storage room where they have been kept away. "We've been waiting ten years to get our revenge on Stan for locking us away..."

Wax Sherlock Holmes told them what really happened that night, he use Lizzy Borden's ax and swipes Stan's head off. Only to realize that it wasn't the man he killed. "But we got the wrong guy." Hearing noises closing in, the wax fictional detective slips out of the room before being notice.

The Hazbin residents, Dipper, and Mabel stares at the wax figures in shock and appalled at what they heard, "So, you're trying to murder Grunkle Stan for real?!" "All because you were locked away? That's a little over the top." Said Vaggie, "Though if you think about it in a normal person's position, they will also do the same thing." Mabel turns to her brother and said, "You were right all along, Dipper! Wax people are creepy!" Charlie then ask the cursed wax figures, "But wait, what about the claw marks? Why would you do that?" "Actually that wasn't our doing." Wax Sherlock replied.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The sound of a door banging to be forced open, caught Dipper, Mabel, Charlie, Vaggie, Angel, Alastor Niffty, Husk and Baxter off guard. The door shattered and fly off from the hinges, growling roars echoes from the darkness. Recalling what Niffty said back at the re-opening, Alastor turns to the small maid and ask, "Niffty, my dear. What exactly did you make in secret for us?" Niffty answers, "Dipper did suggest of sculpting something from our family or friends."

No one needs to guess what sculptures Niffty has made. Because crawling out from the darkness, were seven demonic statues of themselves. Each one more monstrous than the last. Wax Demonic Alastor is more of a full demon wendigo. Wax Angel Dust was more of a giant needle wired legged spider and was missing half of his face. Wax Vaggie had moth hair like wings and was missing an eye. Wax Niffty hand needle fangs and claws. Wax Husk has wires sticking out of his tail and feather wings. Wax Baxter was skinny, sharp and was missing some wax flesh on his ribs. And finally, Wax Charlie was like Charlie in her full demon form only she was missing flesh wax pieces of her cheeks. But the one thing they all had were glowing red eyes. And the fact that Niffty had used left over wax of Abraham Lincoln made this all to frightening.

"Well that explains the claw mark damages." Said Angel, while Husk states, "Welp, we're fucked." Wax Holmes raised his hand shouting, "Enough! Now that you know our secret, you must... die." His and all of the wax figures growl roll their eyes to the back of their heads. As they and the demonic wax approaches them.

Changing into their demon forms, Angel, Vaggie and Charlie pushes the twins behind them as they along with Alastor, Niffty, Husk and Baxter were pushed back to the catering table. Mabel cries, "What do we do, what do we do?" "I don't know!" Dipper exclaimed, as the two kids starts throwing everything from the table at them. But when Dipper grab and throws a full pot of coffee at the Wax Genghis Khan causing the wax figure screams in agony as his face to melt at the hot bitter caffeine drink.

"Of course! Wax can't stand heat!" Charlie exclaimed, "We can melt them with hotty melty things!" said Mabel as she and Dipper grab the electric candles behind them while the demons summon their weapons and with Charlie's fire magic to increase the heat on the blades and bullets. "Anyone move, and we'll melt you into candles!" Dipper threatened, while Mabel promised them, "Decorative candles!"

But Wax Holmes scoffs at them, "You really think you can defeat us?" the twins made an unsure hand sign and shrugged their shoulders, and replied, "I-I don't really know. I'm not-I'm not really sure." "It's worth a shot, I guess." While the demons said, "Oh, I do think we will, you wax shits." "So be it... attack!"

All of the figures charge at them. Wax Lizzie Borden swings her ax at Mabel but misses and accidently decapitates Wax Robin Hood. Mabel walks around her while she's distracted but was unaware of Wax Shakespeare sneaking up behind her. Seeing Mabel in trouble, Niffty cuts off his hands with her huge, heated sewing needles, causing him to run away in fright. But his wax hands were still able to move and begins to strangle the two girls. Mabel walks over to a door, and repeatably smashes it on its fingers while Niffty pokes at it with her needles.

Meanwhile, Dipper was holding his ground on some of the wax figures and was making puns while attacking them, "Interview this, Larry King!" he decapitates Wax Larry King with the candle, now headless, the wax radio/TV news host rans off finding his head while crying, "My neck! My beautiful neck!" Wax Groucho Marx tries to take the candle out of Dipper's hand but got melted burn, "Eh!" using this moment, Dipper runs a clean cut through the wax comedian in half slanted. "Jokes on you, Groucho!" as the top half of his body starts to slides off, wax Groucho made his joke before leaving, "I've heard about a cutting remark, but this is ridiculous! Hey, why is there nothing in my hand?"

Angel, Baxter, Alastor and Charlie laugh at the joke as they fight off their wax selves. Alastor was using his magic to hold his wax-self back, Angel was using his hand guns and one of the floor candle stands as a spear to fight off his wax-self. Charlie was shooting small fire balls at her wax-self, Vaggie was fighting her wax-self on a one-on-one sear fight. And Husk was strangling with himself. "Man, are we fucking evenly match." Husk wax-self replied in growling slurs, "Me fucking concur."

Dipper notice wax Genghis Khan charging at him but Dipper manage to dodge out of the way causing the big oaf to run straight into the fireplace. "Ha, Genghis Khan! You fell harder than the... uh... I don't know, uh, Jin Dynasty? Heh. Yeah. Alright." That last joke didn't work so well, but more importantly there's still a fight to win. Taussig that pun away, Dipper gets back up and resume the fight with the others.

Somehow getting Wax Coolio's head off from its shoulders, Mabel use it's wax hair and uses it as a medieval flair against the other wax figures. While Niffty uses two large needles as dual swords and tries to slash her wax-self into pieces. Just then, Mabel saw the wax Sherlock Holmes sneaking behind her brother, "Dipper! Watch out!"

After snapping Wax Richard Nixon's leg, Dipper sees the wax detective approaching him. Wax Holmes puts the wax Stan head on the horn of a rhino hanging on the wall. "Alright. Let's get this taken care of." Said Wax Sherlock, as he grabs the sword that was hanging next to it and smacks the electric candle out of Dipper's hands. Seeing the candle broken on the floor Vaggie quickly grabs the fire poker and heat it up in the fire before yelling, "Dipper, catch!"

Dipper caught it by the handle just in time to block the strike from wax Sherlock's attack before he attacks again and again forcing Dipper out of the room. Seeing a smaller pray being separated from the group, the wax demons of Alastor, Angel, Husk and Baxter follows after them.

"Dipper!" Angel cried, as he tackles his wax-self to the ground. "Go! We'll handle things down here." Charlie cries out, struggling to fight off her wax-self with her pitch fork, she also summoned that as well, "But we can't leave you guys here! These wax figures replicas of us are exactly powerful and strong as real ourselves!" Baxter pointed out, "You better try harder, or I'll be the one kicking your ass to next week!" Vaggie threaten as she tries to pushes her wax-self off of her, Alastor's eyes lit up, "Vaggie, my dear. You just solved our problem."

Alastor turn his attention to the wax Husk and crushes it with the tentacles he summoned with his magic and orders them to throw the remains into the fire. Seeing Husk's Wax-self dying, Everyone traded places on 'killing each other'. Angel aimed his gun and shot wax Vaggie's head off, while Vaggie throws her spear at wax Angel's heart. Baxter stabs wax Niffty in the back of its head, while Niffty slashes Wax Baxter to shreds. And Alastor help Charlie to kill their wax-selves.

Meanwhile with Dipper and Sherlock

Dipper was pushed all the way up the stairs and into the attic, finding himself cornered by wax Holmes up against the wall. "Once your family is out of the way, we'll rule the night once more!" the wax detective declared. Looking for a way out, Dipper spots a window off to the side and with enough timing he rolls between the wax's legs crying, "Don't count on it!" and out the window.

Struggling to pried his sword out of the wall, wax Holmes calls out, "Come back here, you brat!" and chases Dipper onto the roof. Dipper climbs up on the Mystery Shack sign trying to walk across it while keeping his balance as wax Holmes follows after him. he swings the sword at him, the two clash blades between a poker and a sword while trying to maintain balance. Wax Holmes tries to hit Dipper with its sword, but Dipper jumps back out of the way. the sword hit the "S" in "Shack", and it falls off from its sign. "You really think you can outwit me boy? I'm Sherlock bleeding Holmes! Have you seen my magnifying glass?! It's enormous!"

Looking for means of escape, Dipper drops the only weapon he has and climbs up the sign, dash over the peak of the roof almost sliding down on the tiles if he didn't catch himself on the edge of the roof where the chimney stood. Quickly hiding behind the chimney, Dipper peeks behind the chimney to see if wax Sherlock has followed him, seeing nothing, Dipper let out a sigh of relief believing that he has lost the detective only to see that he was right behind him. Wax Holmes kicks him, pointing his sword at him. "Any last words?" he asked.

"Do you have any?" Turning to where that voice was coming from, Angel, Baxter and Alastor were standing on the roof with their gun, staff, and flammable chemicals ready. "You fools! If you attack now, not only you'll be killing me, but you'll also be killing the boy." Said wax Holmes, but the guys didn't back down. Sherlock of wax raises the sword and said to Dipper, "I'll say it again. 'Any last words?' Dipper Pines?"

Dipper look to his right and back that wax Sherlock and said, "Um... you got any sunscreen?" the adults were confused as to why the kid would say that, until the sinners notice the bright lights peaking throw the trees. "Got any-?" Even wax Holmes was confused, but then he felt something dripping on his shoulders. "What?" he looks up and saw his hands were melting, dropping his sword, he turns and sees the sun rising up over the trees. Gasping in shock and stun at what's happening to him. The wax Sherlock Holmes answers with a blunt. "No." as he continues to melt.

Getting himself into a better sitting position, Dipper commented, "You know, letting me lead you outside? Probably not you sharpest decision." As Angel, Alastor and Baxter came down to him. "Not bad kid." Said Angel, "So Mr. Holmes. Got anything to say?" Baxter tauntingly asked, still not believing how it has come to this, wax Sherlock cries, "Outsmarted by a child in short pants! No!" and starts to melt even faster as his curses begins to slur "Fiddlesticks! Humbugs! Tiiter, total kerfuffle. Butter hallabaloo."

Getting back up on his feet, Dipper confidently wipes his hands together and said, "Case Closed." But there were some dust on his hands causing him to sneeze. With only his head and partly of his face, the wax detective had his last laugh "Ha ha ha! You sneeze like a kitten! Those policemen were right, you're adorable! Adorable!" the melted head Falls off the roof and splashes on the grown below. The guys look down at the splattered wax in cringe disgust, "E-ew." "You said it, Dipper." Angel and Baxter agreeing with Dipper. Alastor clears his throat and said, "Well that was a wonderful display of entertainment, my boy. Why don't we head back down and see how the girls and Husk are doing?" he turns and made his leave as the others follow behind and switch back into their human selves.

Meanwhile

"Ugh, this is what exterminators go throw every year?" "I don't feel sorry for them." "Eh... I kind of feel a tiny bit of pity for them." Mabel, Charlie, Niffty, and Husk, who also switched back into their human selves, were helping Mabel throwing away the remaining parts of the wax figures into the fireplace. Wax Shakespeare's head is the only noticeable wax figure left, "Though our group be left in twain, man of wax shall rise again!" he spoked, Mabel picks up wax Shakespeare's head and ask, "Y'know any limericks?"

Unsure of what to think of for limericks, Wax Shakespeare tried to come up with one on the spot so that he won't die like his fellow wax brethren, "Uh... there once was a dude from Kentucky..." but it wasn't to Mabel, Charlie and Niffty satisfaction as they answered in unison, "Nope!" and Mabel tosses his head into the fire as the wax of the great literature writer cries in burning pain.

Alastor, Angel, Baxter, and Dipper enters back to the parlor, Charlie noticed their presents, "Guys!" she called out, while Mabel said "Dipper! You're okay! You solved the mystery after all." Pulling up a chair, Dipper stands on it to take the wax Stan's head off of the rhino trophy. "I couldn't have done it without my sidekick." He said. But Mabel said, "No offense Dipper, but you're the sidekick." "What? Says who? Have people been saying that? Have you heard that?" Dipper asked teasingly but slightly being truthful, "Well if we're being realistic. You two would be our sidekicks, but when only between the two of you it would be Mabel as the sidekick and Dipper the leader and the brains behind the operation." Said Alastor. Mabel pouts and said, "Aw man."

"HOT BELGIAN WAFFLES!"

Everyone turns to see Stan standing at the door, "What happened to my parlor!?" he yelled, stun at the messy damaged in the room. While the Hazbin residents were trying to think up a good excuse, Mabel told Stan the truth, "Your wax figures turned out to be evil, so we fought them to the death!" "I decapitated Larry King." Dipper added.

The sinners look at Stan and to their surprise he laugh it off and wasn't mad at them, "Ha ha! You kids and your imaginations! And I take it you guys were in on this?" Charlie nervously answered. "Yes...?" but it felt like a question then an answer, but Stan wasn't going to complain. "On the bright side, though, look what we found." Dipper hands Stan the missing head of his wax self. "My head! Ha ha!" Stan jokes, "I missed this guy! You done good kids! Alright, line up for some affectionate noogie-ing."

Everyone was startled and were feeling so awkward at the kind gesture from Stan, the demons, Dipper and Mabel voiced their protest, "Oh I'm not so sure about that. Is there any other alternative...?" "Oh uh... I'm not so sure..." "Stan, that's not really..." "Please don't even..." "Don't touch..." Bust Stan gave each and one of them noogies or in Husk's case an affectionate punch to the shoulder. Causing few of them to laugh at the lighthearted affection, something that the sinners have long forgotten and yet still yearn for. 'Maybe this place wouldn't be so bad/terrible.' Angel, Vaggie, Niffty, Husk, Alastor and Baxter thought.

Just then, the sounds of a police siren broke the moment, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland drove up to the broken window looking so smug and confident. Seeing the police outside, Angel got his phone out again and starts recording, "Solved the case yet, boy?" said Blubs, "I'm so confident you're gonna say no, that I'm gonna take a long, slow sip from my cup of coffee." And he did take a long, slow, and loud sip/slurp.

"Actually, the answer is yes." Dipper cheerfully announce showing off the missing wax head of Stan Pines to the officers. And their reaction was priceless. Sheriff Blubs stutters, "Blu blu blu—!?" and then spits his coffee in Durland's face, who screams and spits his coffee into Blubs' face. They repeat this twice until they screamed, "It burns! It burns!" "My eyes!" and driving away, screaming.

Everyone was laughing at their reaction and coffee pain, Stan pointed at them and shouted, "They got scalded!" until a crash was heard. Startling Charlie with worry, "You think they're alright?" peeking over the window, Alastor said, "They'll live." And looks over to Niffty, "So sorry about your sculptures, little darling." "That's alright. I think I'll wait a little bit and remake my statues next time, but with PVC instead of wax this time around." Everyone crook their heads to the side. Seeing how confuse they are, Niffty clarified, "It's a type of clay materials that are use into making anime character figures. Soos suggested me the idea." "Ah." Now that everyone know, they agreed with the idea of clay figures instead of wax. That would be much better as long as they don't get cursed too.

Dipper turns to his sister, Charlie, Vaggie, Niffty and Husk and ask, "So, did you guys get rid of all the wax figures?" Mabel places her hands on her hips and declare, "I am ninety-nine percent sure that I did!" "Good enough for me!" said Dipper. Vaggie crosses her arms and said, "Well, not good enough for me." "Oh come on, toots." Angel says, "What's one little wax piece gonna cause?"

Time Skip

Mabel was checking herself in the mirror with two sweaters and asked Dipper, "Hmm. Hey Dipper, which do you think is better? Sequins or llama hair?" In the vent, the missing wax piece of Larry King's head hops over to the open vent and said, "The llama hair. Llamas are nature's greatest warriors." And then hops off.

"Thanks Dipper!" Mabel thanked as she runs off to put on her llama sweater, while Dipper who was reading on the chair looks up in confuse.

Vaggie gave Angel a look, making the spider demon sigh and said, "Alright, I'll admit. You were right." Smiling at Angel's words, Vaggie listed the things they would need to get that head out of the vents. "Okay, we're going to need; a layout map of the vents, a broom, a net, fishing poles, walking talkies and someone small enough to fit in the vents."

It wasn't a good day for them or Dipper getting tangled and stuck in the duct for hours.

And now "Headhunters" is completed! I'm so glad I got this finished today!

I've been working so hard on this chapter and I nearly went ahead on writing the other chapters. Plus I've been reading all of the reviews and many of you are asking what's going to happen? Who should be next to appear and when they should appear. The couples that should happen.
