Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
The car that held Stan, Ford, and McGucket soared through the air above Gravity Falls. The three occupants of the car screamed in terror expecting to meet their end very soon, when suddenly the car just jolted to a halt. Stan and the others were confused by the sudden halt. Ford looked out the window and saw that the ground was still several feet below the car and it appeared that two teenage girls were underneath the car and holding it in midair. On closer inspection, Ford saw that one of the girls had feathery wings sprouting from her back. The winged girl looked up at Ford and gave a little smile.
"The names Lucinda and that's my cousin Marceline. We're not from around here."
"You guys are lucky we saw your car flying through the air." Said Marceline.
"Um...thank you." Said a slightly stunned Ford.
The girls descended to the ground and put the car down. Lance came running to the cousins.
"Now if you excuse us, we have some villains to stop and a crazy AI to deal with." Said Lucinda as she and the others prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Said Ford.
The heroes turned to Ford.
"Your some kind of super beings from the outside world, right?" Said Ford.
"Yeah we are. We learned about some mad crazy villains heading here and we came to stop them. We also heard about the AI that runs this program and we plan to put an end to it." Said Marceline.
"Well we can help. My name is Stanford Pines, though you can just call me Ford. I'm one of the creators of this virtual world and the program that runs it. I just got my memory back and I know how to stop the Master Control Program, however she is to strong for me and the others to deal with by ourselves. We need your help." Said Ford.
"Well you got it. We're heroes, helping people is part of the job." Said Lance.
"Ford, the kids." Said Stan.
"Your right Stan. We need to find the kids and save that from that Gideon fiend. Then will put them someplace safe, until the whole thing with the MCP is resolved." Said Ford.
"Well let's get going." Said Lucinda.
The group headed off towards the last place the kids had been.
In another part of town, Dipper, Mabel, Soos, Wendy, and Pacifica were running like crazy, from Gideon's robot. Gideon laughed madly as his robot smashed cars and ripped through street laps and power lines. It took the robot a few minutes to catch up with the fleeing group and it reached down and grabbed Dipper and Mabel and picked them up.
"Dudes!" Screamed Soos.
"Dipper!" Cried Wendy and Pacifica.
"Just my luck that a crazy guy likes me." Muttered Mabel.
"I got you now you two and this time I'm going to come out on top! Mabel will be my queen and I'm going to rule this place!" Laughed Gideon as he held up the twins in front of his robot's face.
"Gideon stop! There's no point to this! The whole world we live in his fake. What's the point of ruling an illusion?" Said Dipper.
"There is a point kid. Ever since we came here all I've ever really wanted was your sister and to rule this place, but time and time again you end up ruining everything for me! It didn't matter what I was in my previous experiences, you somehow managed to ruin my plans. But it's all about to change. You see I have me a big robot, which makes me the most powerful person in town and I have your sister. This world might be fake, but the people sure aren't. I'm going to rule them no matter where we are and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" Said Gideon before he dropped Dipper to the ground and began to march away.
"Dipper!" Cried Mabel in panic.
Dipper landed on his side and groaned as he watched the robot walk away. Soos and the others ran to his side to see if he was ok. Dipper was bruised and cut a little, but he was ok.
"We...have to get Mabel back!" Said Dipper as he stumbled to his feet.
"But how Dipper?" Asked Soos.
Pacifica looked at Dipper who was trying to come up with an answer, but didn't seem able to. The blond turned to the robot and ran towards it shouting.
"Hey Gideon I have an offer for you!" Called Pacifica.
"What kind of offer?" Asked Gideon as he stopped his robot and turned to face Pacifica.
"I'm offer myself in exchange for Mabel's release." Said Pacifica as she stood before the robot.
"Now why would I do that?" Asked Gideon.
"Because I'm way more valuable to you then Mabel. Think about it, my family is super rich and they have a mansion. If you took me as a hostage they'd have no choice, but to give into your demands. Also if you released Mabel, I would agree to be your queen and I will love you and be obedient to you. Mabel won't love you or show you the respect you deserve. I swear on my family's name that you won't get any trouble fro me." Said Pacifica.
"What's she doing?" Asked Wendy.
"She's trying to make Gideon give up Mabel and take her instead." Said Dipper in awe.
"That's a mighty tempting offer, but here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to simply take you as a hostage and maybe just keep you around as a handmaiden. That seems like good plan to me." Said Gideon as he reached down and grabbed Pacifica with his free hand.
"Aaaaa!" Screamed Pacifica.
"Pacifica!" Cried Dipper.
Gideon's robot turned to march off with his two captives. Mabel and Pacifica looked at one another.
"Sorry about that. I was trying to save you, but looks like my plan failed." Said Pacifica.
"It's ok Pacifica you tried." Said Mabel with a small smile.
"Thanks." Said Pacifica as she returned the smile.
"Come on we have to save them!" Shouted Dipper as he and the others began to run after Gideon.
"I'll help you!" Shouted Nyx as she and Ying came running out of an alleyway and joined the others.
"Why should we trust you? Your with the guys trying to wreck this place and takeover!" Said Wendy with an accusing glare.
"I don't want to hurt any of you! Your my friends and I'll prove it by using my powers to help stop that big mean robot." Said Nyx as she raised a purple glowing hand and pointed it at the robot's feet.
A bunch of banana peels appeared in the street in front of Gideon's robot. The robot stepped on them, making him slip, and fall onto his back with a heavy thud. Dipper and the others starred at Nyx with awe.
"I'm a witch. Now I'm going to help you get up into that robot." Said Nyx as she waved her hand and a small trampoline appeared next to the down robot.
"Well it seems like your on the level. Here goes nothing!" Said Dipper as he ran to the trampoline and jumped on it.
Dipper flew high into the air as the robot began to get up and he crashed through the left eye and into a startled Gideon. The two boys quickly scrambled to their feet and faced one another. Gideon threw a punch at Dipper forcing him to jump back. Dipper threw a punch at Gideon forcing him to duck. On the outside everybody watched as the robot randomly ducked and threw punches as it copied Gideon's moves from the motion capture suit. Mabel and Pacifica hung on to the robot's hands for dear life.
"Be careful in there!" Called Mabel.
"This is insane!" Yelled Pacifica.
The robot threw an uppercut, sending Mabel screaming into the air. Pacifica was soon thrown off by a quick jab. The two girls fell screaming towards the ground, but then a bounce house suddenly appeared on the ground and caught Mabel and Pacifica.
"Whew that was close." Said Nyx as she wiped her brow.
Ying cawed in agreement.
The battle continued to rage on. Gideon tackled Dipper and proceeded to punch him in the face several times.
"Yes finally! I'm going to win this time!" Cheered Gideon with a wild laugh.
Gideon threw another punch, but this time Dipper caught it with, his hand and quickly stood up. The two boys struggled and pushed against one another and then, with a twist Dipper slammed Gideon's fist into his face! The robot slammed it's fist into it's face and stumbled backwards down the street towards a gas station. Dipper continued to punch Gideon in the face, with his own fist.
"Stop that!" Yelled Gideon as he tried to wrestle his hand away from Dipper, but failed.
Dipper slammed Gideon's fist into his face a bit harder and when the robot slammed it's fist a bit harder into it's own face, it caused it's head to spin around like crazy. Gideon and Dipper screamed as they were thrown around the inside of the robot's head. The robot stumbled backwards and crashed into the gas pumps with a loud clang knocking them over and creating a spark, which caused them to explode! Mabel and the others watched as the robot was sent flying and crashing into the ground with scorch marks covering it's body. The group gathered around the robot and watched as Dipper staggered out dragging a stunned Gideon with him.
"Your so awesome!" Cheered Nyx as she ran over to Dipper and kissed him on the cheek.
"Um...what are you doing?" Asked Dipper as he blushed slightly.
"I'm just congratulating on a being a hero." Said Nyx as she blushed slightly.
"The witch likes you dude! Also you just took down a robot, which is super awesome!" Said Soos.
"Mad respect man!" Said Wendy.
While the others were talking, Gideon began to come to and saw the wrecked remains of his robot. A feeling of deep rage went through Gideon as he turned to see Dipper's back facing him. The boy let out a snarl and lunged towards Dipper intending to end him. As Gideon was fixing to leap onto Dipper, Wendy grabbed him from behind and picked the boy up by the back of his motion capture suit.
"Put me down!" Yelled Gideon as he waved his arms and legs about.
"Oh I'll put you down, right after I kick your sorry butt!" Said Wendy before she delivered a powerful kick to Gideon's rear and sent him flying.
Gideon screamed as he flew a couple of yards and hit the ground with a thud. The evil boy just groaned as he laid there.
"That was awesome Wendy!" Exclaimed Dipper.
"Thanks." Said Wendy.
The group then turned to Nyx and Ying.
"You helped us, even after we found out who you really were and why you were here. I thank you for the help." Said Dipper.
"Your welcome. I understand, why you were mad and that's ok. Your kind of the first real friends I've ever made, other thing Ying and Sammy." Said Nyx.
"So what happens now?" Asked Mabel.
"Well we can help you get out of this place and help survive." Said Samantha as she walked onto the scene.
"Why would you help us, aren't you with the guys trying to takeover this place?" Asked Wendy.
"Because your my friends and I like you guys. Look I've lost a lot of people I cared about a long time ago and I really don't want to go through another experience like that. Just stay by me and Nyx and will make sure you get out of this alive." Said Samantha.
"Get away from them!" Ordered a voice.
Everyone turned to see Marceline, Lucinda, Lance, Stan, Ford, and McGucket heading towards them. The group glanced at Gideon's smashed up robot before turning to the others. Lance pointed a hand sparking with electricity at Samantha, Nyx, and Ying, while Marceline and Lucinda pulled out their weapons. Samantha and Nyx both raised their hands in a non threatening matter.
"Kids!" Said Ford and Stan as they went over to see if the kids were alright.
"Grunkel Stan. Grunkel Ford! Gideon tried to kidnap me, then Pacifica tried to exchange herself for me, but got captured as well, then Nyx made the robot fall over, and Dipper hopped on in and beat Gideon up! It was amazing!" Cheered Mabel.
"Dipper beat Gideon up?" Stan as he looked over at the robot and then the groaning figure of Gideon.
"He sure did!" Said Mabel.
"That's my boy! You kicked the snot out of that punk!" Cheered Stan.
Dipper smiled a little at the praise and turned to Ford.
"You remember everything now don't you." Said Ford.
"I do. I know this whole place is a virtual world you and your friend McGucket made. You took us into it to help us forget about what happened to mine and Mabel's parents and to keep us safe from who what was going on in the world." Said Dipper.
"Yes...that's all true, but Giffany the Master Control Program, has gone rogue and made me and McGucket forget that we created this place and now it's been invaded by a group of fiends from the outside world who made everyone remember. Now Giffany plans to go to war with everyone whose invaded the system regardless of their intentions. We need to put a stop to this." Said Ford.
"How do we stop it?" Asked Lance.
Before Ford could answer, there was a loud crackling static sound and the sky was filled with several large TV screens with Giffany's face on them. Everybody stares up at the screens in shock not sure what to make of them.
"Whoa that pink haired chick reminds of that dating simulator game I bought and tried to download my brain." Said Soos.
"Greetings everyone. I am Giffany the Master Control Program. As you are all aware, your in a virtual world. Your memory has return and your confused and what out of this place. Let me tell you that leaving is not your best option. The world you once knew is no more. Your leaders went to war with Russia and they ended up wiping each other out as well as the rest of the world. Here are some satellite photos to show that I'm telling the truth." Said Giffany as some screens showing pictures of a ruined Earth.
The people of Gravity Falls starred at the pictures in horror. Preston who had stumbled into the town saw the screens and gasped. Everything he once had in the real world was gone! His mansion, his cars, his cruise ship were all gone. Preston was poor now.
"Why! What did I ever do to deserve this!" Sobbed Preston.
"As you can see the Earth is in ruins. I estimate that the environment is to hazardous to support human life. If you leave this world you will most likely die. A part of my program is to keep everyone safe. Your memories coming back are the results of some invaders entering this world and hacking the system to make you remember. These invaders are hostile and they intend to do you all great harm and enslave all of you. I will not let this happen. My forces are gathering and we will eliminate this threat. I love each and everyone of you and I will protect you all! Once the threat is over I will return everything to what it once was. Those memories you have right now will be forgotten. You will continue to live your lives and I will keep you happy and safe." Said Giffany.
"She's gone crazy!" Gasped McGucket.
The others nodded. In the town the citizens were getting angry and began shouting at Giffany. Then a red blast of energy hit the screens and shattered them to bits! Everyone turned to see Bill and his gang entering the town followed by a swarm of giant eyeballs with bat wings. Bill blew smoke from his finger, before he looked down at the people of Gravity Falls.
"Alright, listen up you one lifespan, three dimensional, five sense skin puppets! Name's Bill! But you can call me your new lord and master for all of eternity! Now meet the gang of interdimensional criminals and nightmares I call my friends. 8 Ball! The being whose name must never be said! Haha, what the heck. It's Xanthar. Then of course there's also Teeth, Pyronica, Paci-Fire, and these guys. This is our town now, boys!" Cheered Bill.
The people eyed Bill and his gang with horror. A few poor souls fell to the ground babbling nonsense at the sheer craziness of the situation. Marceline and Ford's group looked up at Bill gang with mixes of hate and fear.
"Is there a way to flush these guys out of the system?" Asked Dipper.
"Yes, but we need to get to the library, there's an entrance to the mainframe there. Once were there we can shut Giffany down and eject Bill and his friends out of the system." Said Ford.
"We...just have to somehow sneak to the library past the psycho triangle and his crazy friends. Yeah that's easier said then done." Muttered Stan.
"Well I think things are about to get worst." Said Samantha as she pointed at the Eastside and Westside of the town.
On the Eastside of town, Sylvester in his Cat Mobile was leading an army of dinosaurs and on the Westside the tornado that Klarion and Probabilitor battling in had entered town. While the heroes were watching the incoming threats enter town, Gideon scrambled to his feet and took off running. Wendy saw this and was fixing to go after him, but Dipper stopped her.
"Forget about him, we need to focus on some much bigger problems." Said Dipper.
"We need to get to the library immediately before Giffany retaliates against Bill." Said Ford.
It was then that Bill decided to make things even crazier.
"It's time we do a little redecorating. I could really use a castle of some kind." Said Bill as he snapped his fingers and a black pyramid formed in the sky. "And how about some bubbles of PURE MADNESS! "
A bunch of different colored bubbles the size of cars appeared behind Bill and began to lazily drift around. A bubble passed through a man named Sprott, who ripped off his shirt and screamed like a crazy person. All the other town folk immediately stepped away from the bubbles and eyed them nervously.
"This party never stops. Time is dead and meaning has no meaning. Existence is upside-down and I reign supreme. WELCOME, ONE AND ALL, TO WEIRDMAGEDDON!" Laughed Bill with glee.
This made all the town folk run and scream for their lives. Sheriff Blubs and his deputy, Durland ran and hid inside a clothes shop with a few other citizens. A biker dressed in leather stood behind the counter with a sales sign.
"Welcome to the apocalypse everyone. I hope you like leather." Said the biker.
A bunch of the citizens started buying leather outfits and putting them on. Preston snuck into the clothes shop and locked himself in the bathroom.
Back with Marceline and Ford's group, the two teams looked on at the madness happening before them.
"Well this...is bad." Said Ford.
"So how do you plan to sneak by all that. I'm sure you heroes are strong and can defend yourselves and everyone else from a couple of those guys, but not all of them." Said Samantha.
"Well do you have an idea?" Asked Lucinda.
"Yeah I do. I'm calling a little truce, so your going to have to trust me." Said Samantha.
"Why should we trust you?" Asked Lance.
"Because I don't want to see anyone in this town get hurt. It'll be a one sided massacre if the people try to fight Bill and the others. I've been on the receiving end on one of those and trust me it's not something you want to experience or see. Your strong, but you can't save everyone. There's a good chance of getting through this with our lives if you just trust me and Nyx." Said Samantha with a serious pleading look in her eyes.
"Alright will trust you." Said Marceline.
"Good. Nyx I need you to put some magic binds on everyone's hands except for Marceline and Lucinda. Make sure the binds are weak, so they can easily be broken." Said Samantha.
Nyx waved her hands and a bunch of purple energy binds wrapped around everyone's hands except for Marceline and Lucinda.
"Your going to pretend be our prisoners. Will march right up to the library and you can go on inside." Said Samantha.
"Your taking a big risk helping us. Why are you doing this?" Asked Wendy.
"Because your our friends." Said Nyx.
"Let's get moving." Said Samantha.
"Wait, why didn't you have us tied up?" Asked Marceline.
"Because I figure you two can turn invisible. I saw what happened to that monster in the arcade, so I figured someone invisible was attacking it and I didn't see you two leave the arcade, which means you were still inside and that you were invisible." Said Samantha.
"That's pretty perceptive of you." Said Lucinda.
"Thanks." Said Samantha.
Marceline and Lucinda went invisible. Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, Soos, Ford, Stan, Nyx, and McGucket were amazed by this. Samantha told the group they needed to get moving and they marched off.
On the Westside of town the tornado was ripping the roofs off of buildings and throwing cars around. Klarion and Probabilitor were still struggling with one another as the storm raged around them. Teekl suddenly flew in, landed on Probabilitor's head and began to claw at his face. Probabilitor screamed as he let go of his staff and tried to yank Teekl from his head. Klarion laughed as he pointed the staff at the wizard and fired a blast of red energy at him. Teekl leaped from Probabilitor's head before the blast hit the Wuzard and sent him flying out of the tornado. As soon as Probabilitor was gone the tornado died down and dropped everything. Ogres screamed as they fell and crash to the ground. Klarion quickly used his powers to levitate himself and Teekl to keep them from falling and hitting the ground. The witch boy laughed with glee as he dropped the staff, grabbed Teekl, and went to join Bill and his gang. Probabilitor flew through the air and crashed into a mattress store. A mattress broke his fall and he laid on it groaning.
"I'm...just...going to lay here for a little bit. Then...I'm going to deal...with the intruders." Groaned Probabilitor.
On the Eastside of town, Sylvester and his dinosaurs were going on a rampage through the streets. Sylvester had flown off in his Cat Mobile to speak with Bill, leaving the dinosaurs to go about their business. A smashed it's way into a clothing store forcing a bunch of leather wearing people to flee for their lives. The rampaging dinosaur made it's way to the back, where the bathroom was and smashed through the locked door, before it went about knocking down the stalls. All that was left standing in the bathroom was a terrified Preston sitting on a toilet.
"Oh...why...me?" Thought Preston as the prepared to bite down on him.
Just when it looked like Preston was about to meet a horrible painful end, a burst of water blasted out of some nearby pipes and hit the dinosaur in the face making it reel back in surprise.
"Get out of here!" Yelled Henry as he Slippy and William ran onto the scene.
Preston didn't need to be told twice as he shot to his feet and ran out of what was left of the store. The former rich man didn't get to far, because he fell down an open manhole and into the sewer. Preston spluttered to the surface now smelling bad. He decided to simply hide in the sewer for the time being.
Henry, Slippy, and William faced off against the . The big beast let out a roar as it charged at the three heroes, who quickly dove out of the way as it smashed it's head though a wall. Henry used his powers to blast a bunch of soap dispensers and spread a bunch of soapy water on the floor. The came back for another charge, but this time the floor was all slippery, so it ended up fighting to try and maintain it's balance. William flew at the dinosaur and delivered a huge punch to it's face sending it toppling backwards and into a display of clothes. The dinosaur hit the ground with a thud and laid there in an unconscious heap.
"Alright let's focus on finding the others. The phones don't seem to be working, so will have to find them the old fashion way." Said Slippy.
The three heroes headed out searching for their comrades.
A few town folk had fled the town to seek shelter in the woods. Mabel's friends Grenda and Candy found themselves with Blubs, Durland and a few other adults. The little group were heading in the direction of the Northwest mansion hopping to find shelter there, when they came across an upside down car crashed into a tree. Blubs and Durland went to investigate the car, where they found the battered form of Priscilla.
"Please...help...me." Groaned Priscilla.
Blubs and Durland carefully pulled the battered women out of the car and tended to her as best they and the other people could. Some makeshift bandages were made for Priscilla as well as a sling.
"Thank...you all." Said Priscilla with a small pained smile.
The runaways decided to sit for a little bit to think about their next move.
Back in town, Bill and his five friends had gone up to the pyramid to throw a crazy party, while the giant eye creatures that were called Eye-Bats caused havoc in the town below. Sylvester flew into the pyramid and over to Bill.
"There's my favorite mad scientist! How's it hanging? You locate the mainframe yet?" Said Bill.
"Everything is going well. I haven't located the mainframe yet, but I did find something interesting. According to my scans a few of the people have a bit of special coding on them. I believe this coding is part of a special access code that will lead us right to the mainframe of this system." Said Sylvester.
"I see, well then go find these people then." Said Bill.
"Well according to my scanners they are all very close to us." Said Sylvester.
"So they're all coming to us, that's great!" Said Bill.
Suddenly a bunch of screens with the words 'Warning!' On them began to pop up around town.
"What's this all about?" Asked Teeth.
"I believe the MCP is about to take action against us." Said Sylvester.
"Well bring it on!" Said Bill.
To be continued.
