Oh my gosh guys I am so sorry! I realized that I did the same chapter twice! Thank Voilet-the-Hero for this chapter! She was the one who PMed me. Here, let me respond to the reviews real quick.
Potter Jackson22: Wow! What a coincidence! And here was me thinking I was the only one who started the season with big spoilers! The thing that got me interested in Gravity Falls was my favorite artist, Kicsterash. She started to post a bunch of Gravity Falls stuff along with AUs (check out her AU on tumblr. It's really cool), so I was like, 'I need to check this out.' And then with a lot of fighting with my brothers, I finally convinced them to watch Gravity Falls during our free time. We clicked the first one that popped up. So, yep! You can thank her for this story!
EclipseHeart285: Man, I TOTALLY missed your reviews! I actually kinda got worried when you didn't review my last chapter. And yeah, I have this awesome idea for a Danny Phantom and Gravity Falls crossover, so there's a good chance I will do that. And believe me, it will be awesome. And you got your wish! You get to see our Fordsy in this chapter! I THINK I have his reaction okay. Idk. You can be the judge for that.
And here's the reviews I answered for the last chapter:
Chi Chi's Poptart: OHMYGOSHYOUREVIEWEDMYSTORY! *Squeal!* Okay, sorry. But I really loved your story and I was so happy that you took your time to look at mine! Thank you so much! And I'm glad you weren't angry for me advertising your story. I know it seems stupid that I'm paranoid about it, but you can never be too sure. Some people (for some reason) really do not like their stories mentioned in other fanfics. Probably worried someone will steal it. :/
Neutrino 2000: Thank you for reviewing! Glad you think so! And for Chiron, I might be able to get him in somewhere. I'm not sure how, but it's a good idea. I'll keep it in mind (though do not be offended if I do not). And for celebrating Weirdmagedon, I am drawing, writing, and reading Gravity Falls stuff. Along with geeking out and watching episodes. But not for celebrating, but more for reasons like starting Gravity Falls late. The FIRST episode I watched seriously was 'Not What He Seems'. And since I don't have Netflix or like watching episodes on YouTube, I'm watching any episode that pops up, even if it's out of order. I really regret for watching NWHS first. I wasn't able to grasp its true awesomeness. I was more confused than amazed. But yep, I'm really geeking out about it! I'm so excited for the next episode! I really, really, really want to see McGuckit and Stanford interact. And I really need to know Pacifica's relationship with her parents are, who the heck GLASSESS is, and what Stan has been doing. And I think that Bill is going to summon a family member of his because he said he'd need to get someone to help him with his problem then looked at Ford. And since Ford is a twin and a brother, I was thinking that Bill was going to get his brother or something. Because we DO know at some point, Bill had a family. So anyway, yep.
Again guys. I am so sorry! Please forgive me! (And this chapter jumps backwards for the last one. So don't be confused!)
When Dipper said he didn't trust them, he meant it. The kid kept glancing back at them every five seconds. Though he wasn't aiming a gun at them anymore, he didn't put it away either. Every time Mabel came to flirt with a boy, he would shoot venomous looks toward him, almost daring them to do something. But he was also nervous. He was sweating and his hand kept reaching into his vest. Maybe he had some sort of lucky token or something? Like Annabeth and her camp beads. She fingered them when she was nervous.
Though while Dipper was wary of them, Percy had his own suspicions. Where exactly was he taking them? He didn't exactly go into detail. Mabel seemed friendly enough, but Dipper made him a little antsy. He could be a monster, after all. They didn't act like one, but you could never be too sure.
They finally reached their original destination: the Mystery Shack.
"What are we doing back here?" Jason asked.
"We're going to our Grunkle. He's been a little bit cut off lately, so try not to… well… he's slightly less trusting than me. Not that I trust you!" he added hastily, "I just want to know what Bill is up to, that's all."
They walked back in, and Mister Pines was waiting for them, crossing his arms, "You kids were due a half-hour ago. And why'd you bring back those weird teenagers?"
"Sorry, Grunkle Stan! But these guys need our help! One of their cute friends were possessed by Bill!" Mabel shouted with a smile, "We're going to see Great Uncle Ford!"
Mister Pines stumbled back, "Did you say… Bill?"
"Yep!"
"Alright," Mister Pines muttered, "We're going to close up shop for a while. Wendy, Soos," he turned to two employees, "We're going to need to get all these talking money bags out for a while. Come downstairs afterward." The two employees nodded and started to lead all the tourist outside.
Dipper looked up in surprise, "You're going to close up shop?"
Mister Pines shrugged his shoulders, "Knowing my brother like I do, he'll probably keep something from me. At least if I'm down there, I'll know for sure what's going on. Besides, maybe I'll get a new attraction out of this," he waved his hands in front of him, "The Possessed Boy, $30 dollars for administration."
Dipper rolled his eyes but didn't say anything.
Stan led the group to the back of the Shack. He punched in a code to a vending machine, and it opened up to a secret passageway behind it.
Percy was liking this Ford guy less and less. Trust issues? Hides himself in a secret basement? Keeps information from his own brother? Yep, sounds sociable enough.
They were lead down to what seemed like a control room. Annabeth ran a hand along the console, "Leo would have loved this," she whispered.
Percy nodded in agreement. This was some pretty high-teched stuff.
Behind the console was some sort of broken down portal and a man at a table. There were papers and machines scattered all around him, and he was muttering to himself, like he was trying to solve some sort of complex equation.
Mister Pines gave them an uneasy look and cleared his throat. The figure didn't answer. He coughed again and the man shot straight up, turning around, but he relaxed when he saw them, "Oh, Lee, it's just you. Wait. No. It's not just you!" he got into defensive position again. The guy was in a big beige trench coat and had large glasses. There were scrolls and devices stuffed into every pocket imaginable, and his hair was disheveled, like he kept running his hands through it, "Who are they? Is there a problem?"
"Well, you see, Ford…" Mister Pines cleared his throat again, "We have a Bill problem…"
Ford was instantly on top of them. He grabbed Percy's arm and swung a light wildly into his eyes. Before any of them could react or do anything rash (like pulling out their swords and play piñata), Stan pushed Ford off, "Woah! Woah! Not that kind of problem!"
Percy stumbled back, blinking lights out of his eyes. Annabeth helped him back up, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Percy muttered, rubbing his eyes.
"Well, if it's not that kind of problem, then what is it?" this Ford guy put his flashlight back into his trench coat, giving the teens suspicious glances.
Dipper saw this as a good time to step in, "Well, actually, it kind of is. But they aren't Bill!" he added hastily when he saw Ford pull out his flashlight again, "A friend of theirs was possessed. Remember that kid I saw in my dreams last night?"
"The Sparks kid?" Ford asked. Dipper nodded. "So these are his 'friends'?" he gestured to the Demigods.
Wendy and Soos came walking down the stairs at that moment, "Hey dudes, what's up?" the girl named Wendy ask casually, like she was discussing the weather. Mabel took them aside and explained the situation while the rest of the group continued the conversation.
Percy tried to explain to Ford, "Look. We don't know who Bill is. All we know is that one day we're eating breakfast then Leo comes down with a yellow eye and a crazy voice and pours cereal all over his face. Next thing we know, Bill takes Annabeth downstairs alone, burns her throat, and is now trying to kill us all!"
"Do you have any idea why he would take such interest in him and your friends?" Ford asked, pacing.
"Well… err…" how was he going to explain this? "Our friend, Leo… he's kind of special. He can control fire." Percy saw Annabeth face palm and Jason sigh. He gave them an exasperated look and shrugged his shoulders.
Ford stopped pacing and looked directly into his eyes, "Your friend looks human but can control fire?"
"He doesn't look human. He is human. And yes. He can control fire, if you must know," Piper said cheekily.
Ford acted like he didn't hear her, "He must be a fire demon. Has he ever done weird stuff before? Weird, dangerous, stuff?"
Hazel crossed her arms, annoyed, "Leo's not a demon. He's a Leo. Just 'cause he can control fire, doesn't make him a demon. He fits right in with the rest of us!"
Ford eyed them suspiciously, "What do you do?"
Annabeth closed her eyes in annoyance, shaking her head at Hazel words. She didn't know if it was a good idea to tell him about what they were. But what was said was said. Can't take it back now, "Alright, so some of us may or may not have control over certain things. So what? That doesn't make us 'evil' or 'not human'," she put air quotes around the words.
"What kind of powers?" Dipper asked. He had an old, red book in his hands and was now flipping through it.
Annabeth was becoming uncomfortable with the situation. "Does it matter? All you need to know is that our friend, who is human, was possessed by Bill, who is not human, and is trying to kill us, who are humans."
Mabel came dancing in, "But you have powers! What kind of powers do you have? Gasp! Can you fly?" she pointed to Jason.
"I… umm… err…" Jason stammered.
Frank chose that moment to step in, "Our friend is possessed, and here we are talking about a blond superman. Can we stay on topic?"
Mabel sighed, "Alright. We'll talk about Bill now. But you so have to show me your super powers!"
Dipper sighed and shook his head, "It would be much easier if you just told us the whole truth. But we'll talk about Bill first."
"Alright," Percy sighed a sigh of relief, "How do we defeat him?"
The three exchanged glances, "We don't know."
Silence.
"H-how can you not know?"
Ford shrugged, "We don't know."
"So you have no idea how to get Bill out of Leo's body?"
Dipper shrugged, "Well, when Bill possessed my body, he eventually wore himself out. He forgot all about human needs, so he feinted and I took over again."
Mabel jumped up and down excitedly, "Does this mean we get to make sock puppets?"
Dipper shook his head, "I don't know. Bill told me he could only possess half his body, so I don't know what happened to his ghost. Great Uncle Ford, what happened to you when you were possessed? Where did you go? You said you shared a body."
Ford shrugged, "When Bill shared my body, my spirit was sent to some sort of grey room. I could see everything, hear everything, and feel everything, but I could not talk out of my own mouth or move my own limbs. Sorry Mabel. I do not think your sock puppets will work this time." He said with a smile.
Mabel, who already had the glue out and scissors out, dropped them, "Aww, phooie."
Percy had no idea what they were talking about (why they would need sock puppets of all things?) but they were getting nowhere with the conversation.
"So you don't know how to get Bill out of Leo?"
Dipper and Ford shook their heads, "Maybe if we had more time, we could find a way. But we have no idea what Bill's plans are, what deal he made with this Leo, and the state Leo is in right now. The only thing we can do is—"
Just then the door burst open. Everyone turned around to Leo standing at the doorway. He was dirty and his hair was disheveled. There was a maniacal smile on his face. "HI! DIDJYA' MISS ME?"
"BILL!" everyone shouted in unison, except for Mabel, who shouted "BEO!"
Beo/Bill pretended to blush, "AWWW, YOU DID MISS ME!"
"How did you get down here Bill? We surrounded the place with unicorn hair!"
Percy had no idea why unicorn hair would help, but Mabel seemed to know, "I worked hard for that! I punched a unicorn in the face!"
Wendy nodded, "I used my freaking axe, dude. Do you know how hard it is to axe those faces?"
Bill waved the complaints aside, "THOSE STINGY THREADS USED TO BE A PROBLEM, BUT WITH THIS BODY, I GOT PAST IT. MUST BE THE GODLY BLOOD INSIDE THIS FLESH SACK."
Dipper gave him a questioning look, "Godly blood?"
"Err… its nothing?" Percy tried.
"HAHA! YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM, FISH? HAHA! IT'S AMAZING HOW STUPID YOU ARE. AND SIXER, I'M DISAPOINTED. I THOUGHT MY LIFE LESSONS WOULD HAVE TAUGHT YOU NOT TO TRUST THESE HALFLINGS."
Ford growled and clenched his fists, "Bill, get out of that child's body. You have no business here."
"Unless you want to buy something," Mister Pines added, "otherwise you can come any time you want!"
Dipper face palmed and Ford groaned.
"FEZ, WHEN I'M DONE HERE, THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING LEFT TO BUY. EXCEPT YOUR SOUL, OF COURSE. HAHA!"
"Woah, dudes," Soos said, "I wonder how much our souls are worth? Like one hundred demon dollars? Two hundred demon dollars?"
"YOUR SOULS ARE WORTH YOUR WEIGHT, QUESTION MARK. YOU'LL BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE."
Soos did a fist pump in the air, "Ha ha! Sweet!"
"Bill," Dipper started, "Why are you doing this? You said you're paying a debt with 'Earthy'. I thought you were the most powerful. Why do you need to answer to Earth?"
Percy knew what Dipper was doing. He was buying time. Percy himself did this a million times before. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mabel and Wendy fiddling with something.
"ALRIGHT, KID. YOU GOT ME. SO MAYBE I'M NOT THE MOST POWERFUL? THAT'S ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE," Percy saw Beo's eyes flash red.
"Who is this Earthy, anyways?" Mister Pines asked, rolling his eyes, "Sounds like you're answering to dirt now."
Bill folded his arms, "GEEZ. YOU REALLY LIKE TO MAKE MY PLANS SOUND WEAK AND PATHETIC, DON'T YOU FEZ? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW, OLD EARTHY IS VERY POWERFUL. HAS CONNECTIONS AT THE VERY TOP, PLACES I HAVEN'T EVEN SCRATCHED YET. FISH AND HIS FRIENDS KNOW WHO I'M TALKING ABOUT, DON'T YOU FISH? YOU'VE SEEN HER UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. HECK, YOU'RE EVEN RELATED TO HER."
Percy rubbed his forehead, "Don't start talking that way. Talking about family connections gives me a headache."
"HAHA! WHAT? DON'T WANT TO ADMIT YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL YOUR OWN GREAT GRANDMOTHER?"
Frank shook his head, "When you put it that way, it just sounds plain wrong."
"BECAUSE IT IS WRONG, SHAPES-SHIFT. YOU'RE ALL MURDERERS. EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU. HOW MANY MORTALS DO YOU THINK DIE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET THERE FAST ENOUGH?" he turned to Annabeth, "YOU COULD HAVE SAVED LUKE, GREY."
Annabeth stumbled back, "We tried everything we could—"
Bill turned to Percy, "HOW MANY MONSTERS DO YOU KILL A DAY, FISH? REMEMBER ALL THOSE KIDS IN THE VOLCANO?"
Percy shook his head, "They were Telekhines. They were trying to kill—"
Bill cut him off and turned to Piper, "YOU WERE GOING TO BETRAY YOUR FRIENDS."
"I didn't—"
"THEN, YOU ERASED YOUR FATHER'S MEMORIES."
Piper hung her head in shame. Jason came to her aid. "That was his choice. It was for the best."
"HAHA! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BEST, FLY-BOY? YOU LET YOUR ROMAN PRAETOR DOWN. YOU LET HER RUN THE WHOLE LEAGUE BY HERSELF, DEALING WITH OCTAVION AND A WAR. THEN, WHEN SHE FINALLY FINDS YOU, YOU'VE BEEN HELPING THE ENEMY THE WHOLE TIME!"
Jason made a few sputtering noises, too stunned to speak, "How did you know…?"
"SHAPES-SHIFT!" Bill cried, pointing to Frank, "YOU LET YOUR FAMILY HONOUR DOWN. LEFT YOUR GRANDMOTHER IN HER BURNING HOUSE, ALONE AGAINST AN ARMY OF MONSTERS!"
Frank glared, "She told me to—"
"GEMSTONE!" Bill turned to Hazel, "YOU HAVE IT WORSE OF ALL, DON'T YOU GEMS? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED EVERYTHING! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GAVE EARTHY A BODY IN THE FIRST PLACE! IF IT WERE'NT FOR YOU, THIS QUEST WOULDN'T BE HERE! YOU COULD HAVE LIVED YOUR LIFE HAPPILY WITH SAMMY! YOUR MOTHER MIGHT HAVE LIVED TO HER FULL AGE!"
Hazel stumbled against the wall. Her hair was covering her face, "Stop…please."
Bill glared up at his head, annoyed, "YOU'RE NOT MUCH BETTER OFF YOURSELF, SPARKS. YOU KILLED YOUR OWN MOTHER!"
Percy looked at his friends. They were stricken hard. Bill was just trying to mess with them, he knew that. But Bill was right. He did kill all those Telekhines kids. Sure, they were trying to kill him and stuff. But they were just kids. Percy remembered all the people he had ever let down. Luke, his mom, Tyson, Daedalus, Beckendorf, Bianca, Leo… they were all involved in accidents he could have stopped. He remembered the monsters. He killed Ma Gasket's kids. He killed a half-blind cyclops. He killed that monster with the lunch box. They were trying to kill him first, and sure, they'll just come back from Tartarus later. But still…
Bill held out his hands, looking at the shocked Mystery Shack troop. "YOU SEE WHO YOU'RE WORKING WITH? SEE WHY I'M TRYING TO KILL THEM? THEY ARE ALL MURDERERS. BETRAYERS. DECIEVERS. MONSTERS."
The Demigods flinched at every word, but stumbled at the last one. It was true. In one way or another, they killed, deceived, or betrayed somebody. Whether it be a friend of foe. He promised to protect Bianca. He deceived. He tricked monsters into trusting him. He betrayed. He let people he cared about die. He murdered. He was as bad as monsters. And that was that.
Bill looked at the broken Deimgods, "SEE? THEY DON'T DENY IT. YOU'LL BE NEXT. THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING SECRETS FROM YOU. WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST THEM?"
The Pines and the employees looked at the Demigods. Some were crying, others were stumbling, while some seemed to be far off in their own thoughts.
Dipper looked at the journal, "Trust no one…" he whispered.
"EXACTLY, PINE TREE. LET ME TAKE CARE OF THESE LIARS. YOU CAN STILL TAKE MY DEAL, PINE TREE," he held out a hand and it caught on blue fire.
Dipper looked into his eyes. One was yellow, slit, and evil while the other was crying, bloodshot, and afraid. Very, very, afraid. Dipper looked into that one eye. It was full of pain and fear, but was trying to tell him something. Trust no one… Dipper thought.
Especially Bill.
He held out his hand, pretending to agree.
"Kid! Don't!" screamed Grunkle Stan.
"Dipper!" shouted Ford.
"Fine, Bill. I… Mabel now!" he pulled away just as Wendy and Mabel attacked with a bunch of makeshift clubs at Bill. The clubs were made from Mabel's sock puppet kit.
Dipper headed for the exit, "RUN! RUN! Now! Get moving!" he dragged a few of the startled teens, but they quickly realized what was going on and followed the Pines family. Wendy and Mabel soon joined them, still wielding the sock-clubs. Pain might be hilarious, but it was still pain. And even demons fell to it sometimes.
They raced up the stairs with Bill right behind them. He was shooting fireballs everybody and the walls were starting to burn.
They ran faster. They reached the door and headed into the woods. They split up, but agreed to meet back at the town lake.
Since they were split up, Bill soon lost them. They reached the lake, sweating and panting. After they all caught their breath, Dipper turned to the teens. "Answers. NOW."
Percy looked up, "Don't know… what you're… talking about?" he said desperately between breaths.
Grunkle Stan stepped in, "If you want us to even remotely trust you, you need to tell us a few things about you."
Wendy was leaning against a rock, "Yeah dudes. Bill just called you guy's murderers. Not exactly the most inviting thing."
Jason stepped in, "Okay, guys, look—"
He was interrupted when a hissing noise came from the bushes. Everybody turned to see a Dracanae standing there, "Ssssssooo, Demigodssss. I wasss not expecting to ssssee you here. But you will make a lovely feassst…" before it could say another word, Percy pulled out his sword and sliced it in half, turning it to dust. He stood there panting for a few moments, but then dropped his sword like it was on fire. Murderers.
The Pines family stared. "Now we defiantly need answers."
Annabeth looked at the questioning family and employees with a pained expression. There was no way out of this one. "A-alright. Have you ever heard of Greek gods?"
I'm not very proud of this chapter. I don't like it very much. But I'm to lazy to change it. So! How did you guys like the nicknames? Did you think I got everyone down okay? I know this may be slightly OC when Bill is taunting them, and this story is starting to go around in circles, but I'm hoping the next chapter will be better.
Since I will be deleting the last chapter, I'm going to put up the votes for what my next story should be again:
1. Gravity Falls and Danny Phantom crossover
2. Gravity Falls and Avatar the Last Airbender crossover (Ford, while traveling between dimensions, goes to this dimension)
3. Gravity Falls Transcendence AU fanfiction
4. Kung Fu Panda meets human
5. TMNT and Danny Phantom crossover
Again, really nerdy crossovers (well, some of them are, anyway). But I have great ideas for all of them. Though I'm really leaning on #1. I'm just letting you guys vote, though I might not do the winning one. And I posted another one shot. If anybody here reads Bone comics by Jeff Smith, read my one shot. Not my best work, but I put a lot of time and effort into it.
And I got the Sword of Summer for Christmas! It is so good! Really funny! Made me laugh so many times! And it has Annabeth in it!
So again guys, review. I need support. I really want to move on to new fan fictions, but I'm forcing myself to stay on task here. I do not own Gravity Falls, Percy Jackson, or any of the TV shows listed above. They belong to someone who is defiantly not me.
Favers and Followers are Great, but Reviewers are my Favorite! Review!
