Hey! I'm back! How is everything goin'? Good? Glad to hear it (unless it's not going good, then it that case I hope things get better). So, for the first time in forever *Deep Breath*...

For the first time in forever

I finally understand!

For the first time in forever

We can fix this hand in hand!

Heh heh, nah, I kid. :) So anyway, what I was saying was I finally had a writing streak! So that means another chapter, which means another post! Whippee! In this chapter, we get to see Leo again. But before we do that, I need to answer reviews, and before we do that, I have to ask a really important question:

When I click on the review link thing, I don't see anyone's reviews for chapter six. I mean, I get the alerts and stuff, but when I go to the actual website, I can't see any of it. Is that just with me, or are other people having it with this particular story as well? Like if you click on the link for reviews for my story, do you see 19 reviews or 11? Please tell me if you do and if you know how to fix it. It might fix itself after this chapter, but idk.

Time to answer stuff!

Chi Chi's Poptart: I'm glad I could help! And yeah, I've actually been looking into Undertale, and I want to play it. But I have younger siblings (ranging 5-12) and if I play, they play, so I'm trying to see if it's okay for them (actually, the range goes lower than that, but she's to little to be able to comprehend it fully, so she doesn't really count). And what do you play it on? Computers? Xbox? Anyways, I look forward to your story! :)

Guest: Thanks for voting!

OMAC001: Glad you didn't think it was OC! And here's your update! Though I don't think it's exactly what you were expecting...

Neutrino 2000: Glad you think so!

Matt: Yeah, I have a good idea for that too.

Violet-the-Hero: Glad you like the nicknames and my writing for the characters! And while I was reading your review, for some reason I had this really random thought for the crossover you voted for and I think you guys will like it. So thanks for reviewing and unknowingly giving me a completely unrelated idea!

Man! Five reviews! I don't think I've ever gotten so many in a chapter before! Thanks guys! Got me excited! I've also figured out which Star Wars queen Wendy climbs like! And there might be character death in later chapters. So, enough of me, here's the thing you guy's all been waiting for. Enjoy!

The score was much higher now. 1,523 points against two. Bill made sure that he remembered the scores. Bill was very angry. The demigods had escaped him for the second time now, and Leo was about to burn up. But then for some reason Bill stopped (after he raised the score) and seemed to realize how close Leo was to death. Leo was confused why Bill cared whether he lived or died, but Leo soon forgot his suspicions when Bill went to the vending machine, punched a hole through the glass, and grabbed some potato chips. Then he ate it, bag and all.

What Bill said had really hurt his friends, Leo could tell. Sure, Bill put it in the most deceitful, twisted way possible, but the words held truth. Like what Bill said about him and his mom. Gaea was trying to kill his mom. He tried to protect her. His powers got out of control. End of story.

Leo has been trying to convince himself for years that it wasn't his fault; that he was young and was just trying to protect her. If he did nothing she would have died any way, and Leo would have been beating himself up over not protecting her. But still, Bill had struck hard, and it was not helping his condition.

He got a little bit better after the chips, but not by much. The last fading still hasn't gone away. His legs were so fuzzy it looked like they were fused together. Great, Leo thought, when I die my heroic death, I'll be stuck as a freaking mermaid.

And with that thought, they suddenly changed back. It took a whole three minutes total. He was running out of time.

Bill was walking through the woods, grumbling loudly. He stormed past the trees and Leo saw a few creature scamper away. Great. The animals are smarter than me, Leo thought to himself grudgingly.

They walked into a clearing, where to Leo's surprise, were a bunch of gnomes. Bill ignored them and stomped right through them, not caring if they were in the way or not. This resulted a few squashed fingers and toes. And lots of angry shouting.

"Hey! Watch it!" shouted one.

"Shmebulock!" shouted another.

One, who seemed like the leader of the gnomes, stepped forward, "Hey, you! You're in gnome territory! The gnomes are a powerful race, and you should not mess with them!"

There were a few shouts of agreement from the other gnomes.

Bill stopped and glared, "GET OUTTA' MY WAY, YOU MUNCHKIN! OR ELSE I'LL HAVE THE PLEASURE TO SCRAPE YOUR INNARDS OFF THE HEEL OF MY BOOT LATER."

"A-actually, y-you're wearing s-s-sneakers," Leo couldn't help but saying.

"NO ONE ASKED YOUR OPINION, SPARKS."

The lead gnome was fuming, "Ooh! An insult! You will pay for this!" he turned to his followers, "Gnomes! Form—"

Before he could say another word, Bill grabbed him by the beard and lifted him up. There was anger and annoyance coursing through Bill's body, "I SHOULD JUST KILL YOU HERE AND NOW," He growled, and the gnome shuddered. But then Bill had an idea, "BUT I WON'T. I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU. IF YOU FIND AND CAPTURE A GROUP OF KIDS FOR ME, I'LL LET YOU LIVE."

The Gnome didn't even hesitate, "Deal!" he stuck out a hand and together they shook on it. Bill dropped the gnome and he rubbed his hands together, "The name's Jeff, by the way. So, who do you need taken care of?"

Leo felt Bill smile, "HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE MYSTERY TWINS?"

Jeff nodded angrily, "Yeah! We tried to marry one of them and make her our queen, but she refused! I'll bet you her brother told her to do that!"

"YEAH, YEAH, SAVE ME THE TEARS. THE TWINS WILL BE TRAVELING WITH A GROUP OF HALFLINGS AND MYSTERY SHACK WORKERS. I NEED YOU TO BRING THEM ALL TO ME."

Jeff shrugged, "Sure, but what kind of Halfling are we talking about? Dwarves? Satyrs?"

"I WAS THINKING DEMIGODS."

Jeff took a few steps backwards, "Dem-Demigods? Do you know what they'll do to us? They'll slice us in half with their bronze swords!"

"Get their giant eagles and attack us from above!" shouted another.

"Shmebulock!" someone cried worriedly.

"WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF DYING, OR A DEFINATE CHANCE OF DYING?" Beo held a ball of fire in Jeff's face.

"I—! Umm… I mean… I mean it's no problem! N-no problem at all! We'll get our allies to help us!" Jeff stuttered.

Bill lazily diminished his fire and examined his nails, "GOOD. BRING THEM ALL TO ME. I NEED THEM ALIVE."

Jeff turned to his group, "Okay men! You heard him! Gather our allies! Get into formation! You too, Shmebulock."

The gnomes started to stack on top of each other to form a giant monster thing. The giant monster ran through the trees, scattering birds and other animals along the way. Bill laughed, "I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR FRIENDS GET OUT OF THIS ONE, SPARKS!"

Leo brought his knees to his chest and rested his head against the grey wall. It hurt him like Hades, but Leo ignored it, Yeah, me too, he thought.

/o\ /o\ /o\ /o\ /o\ /o\

"Do you know about Greek gods?"

Dipper nodded, "Yeah, I do. We learned about them at school. But I don't see how that answers our question."

Annabeth ignored him, "Well, let's just pretend, hypothetically, just for a few moments, that they were real. Okay? Can we just imagine that?"

Mabel nodded eagerly, "Got that set in my mind, girl."

"And let's just say, if they were real, they would sometimes fall in love with mortals. So the gods and mortals would sometimes get together and have children. Right? Can you see that for a few moments?"

Dipper looked at his Great Uncle Ford. He seemed thoughtful.

"So let's just say the kids, as they grew up, got powers from their godly parents."

"But that's not true. They're fake," Dipper crossed his arms angrily. He wanted answers, not fairytales.

Annabeth held up her hands, "I said hypothetically, alright? Just bear with me for a few moments. So, hypothetically, the children with the powers were half mortal, half god, so they would be called Demigods. And as they grew older, Greek monsters will come and attack these kids. They made weapons to defend themselves. They formed a camp, where they could be safe and sound from all the monsters."

Grunkle Stan raised an eyebrow, "This is all hypothetical, right?"

Annabeth smiled, "Of course! Now, what if we said, hypothetically, it wasn't hypothetical?"

The reaction was instant. Everybody started talking at once. There were squeals of "That's so cool!" and shouts of "Dudes, are you kidding me right now?" and mutters of "I think they're lying, what do you think?"

Jason held up his hands, and everybody stopped talking, "Okay, I know you're all really confused right now, but let us explain."

"To start off, all those hypothetical questions weren't hypothetical," Percy said.

Soos's eyes bugged, "Really?"

Percy nodded, "Yep."

Everybody rolled their eyes, and Jason continued, "We are sons and daughters of Roman and Greek gods. I am the son of Jupiter, lord of the skies and storms."

Mabel eyes bugged, "So you can fly?"

Jason shrugged, "It's not exactly flying. But to put it in simplest form, yes, I can fly."

Mabel did a fist pump and jumped, "Yes! I knew it!"

Ford stepped forward, "What can the rest of you do?"

Percy shrugged, "I'm the son of Poseidon, the sea god, and I can control water and stuff."

Piper stepped forward, "I am the daughter of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Usually, the only thing we can do is stand there and act pretty. But I can charmspeak, meaning I can greatly influence someone."

Dipper stumbled back and plugged his ears, "You're a siren?"

Piper shook her head quickly, "No! Of course not. I only use it if I have to. Believe me, I haven't used my charmspeak on you. I do not like using it very often."

Dipper, still tense, lowered his hands but still looked suspicious.

Piper motioned to Hazel, and she stepped forward, "My dad is Pluto, god of the Underworld and anything valuable, really. I can control metals and influence tunnels underground."

Ford raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything. Hazel knew what he was thinking, though. Daughter of the 'evil' god? Not a good sign.

Frank cleared his throat and raised his hand to get everybody's attention, "My dad is Mars, the war god. Though I am not overly aggressive like most of his children—"

Percy snorted, "You could say that again."

"—I can… what's the word? Shapeshift."

Mabel, Dipper, Soos, and Wendy stumbled backwards and got into a defensive position, "Stay back you shapeshifter!" shouted Wendy.

"You're not going to fool us again!"

Percy held up his hands, "Woah! I don't know what you guys have against shapeshifters, but Frank isn't one of them!"

"But he said—"

"I know. I know what he said. Wrong use of words. He can't shapeshift into anything he wants, he can only turn into animals. He isn't a monster! We were all born with certain powers, and Frank just happens to be able to look like certain animals."

Slowly, they relaxed. Mabel lowered her eyes, "Sorry."

Frank shrugged, "It's okay."

Mister Pines turned to Annabeth, "And what can you do?" he asked in a way that was obviously supposed to be rude.

Annabeth shrugged, "I can kick your butt if you talk to me like that again."

Mister Pines laughed, "Haha! I would like to see that! I'm a gold medalists in Boxing!"

Annabeth smiled sweetly and pulled out her knife, "And I'm a gold medalists in slicing up cocky old men." They advanced on each other, but Percy, Dipper, and Ford got between them.

"Woah! Annabeth! Calm down!" shouted Percy.

Dipper and Ford held Stanley back, "Can't we go one day without making powerful enemies?"

They eventually calmed them both down, and Percy introduced Annabeth for her, "This is Annabeth, as you already know. She's the daughter of Athena, the wisdom goddess. She's super smart and yes, she can kick your butt. She's done it to me and a billion other monsters before. So don't even try," he glared at Stanley, but he just shrugged his shoulders innocently as if to say, 'What? What did I do?'

Jason stepped back up, "So yeah. Greek and Roman gods are real. They sometimes have children with mortals, and the results are us, Demigods. But, since Greeks and Romans are real, so are the monsters. And they come and fight us, and we fight them."

Stan crossed his arms, "If they're real, how come nobody sees them?"

"There's something called the Mist that keeps mortals from seeing things correctly."

"But we could see that snake-lady."

"Some mortals can see through the Mist. I guess you are one of them. So anyways, we were sent on a quest to stop one particularly evil thing from rising. Her name is Gaea."

Just hearing her name sent a shiver down Dipper's spine, "Who's she?"

"Gaea is Mother Earth. You might see cartoons of Mother Earth being this kind old lady who sings with chipmunks and save baby birds from falling out of their nests."

Mabel clasped her hands together and gasped, with lights in her eyes, "How cute!"

Jason nodded grimly, "Now imagine an evil version of that. Where Mother Earth chops down trees and shoots baby rabbits for fun."

Wendy nodded, "Chopping down trees are my thing. Killing baby rabbits are not."

Mabel gasped, the lights long gone, "But she's Mother Earth!"

"The evil Mother Earth. She wants nothing on her. She wants the whole Earth to be barren and desolate. No life, no water, no trees, no mountains, nothing! Just one big flat mud puddle," Percy described.

Soos's eyes bugged, "Woah, dudes. That's terrible!"

Annabeth nodded, "Yep. So we're trying to stop her. But Bill made some sort of deal with Gaea, and he took over Leo's body, who chased us off our own ship, and is now trying to kill us!"

"We can't go anywhere without Leo," Piper said sadly.

"I think we can all agree he's the most important one here."

They all nodded, "We wouldn't have made it this far without Leo. We'd either be dead or still stuck in Manhattan."

Percy shook himself out of the sad moment, "So what about you? What's your tragic backstory?"

Stanley held up his hands, "Wait, wait, waitwaitwaitwaitwait. Are we actually believing this?"

Dipper shrugged, "With all the crazy things that happened this summer, I think I can believe one more thing. I don't trust them, but I personally think this is a tad more believable than Stanley's Sascrotch."

Mabel nodded, "Before we arrived here, we thought gnomes were fake." She laughed like it was the stupidest thing in the world to not believe in gnomes.

Ford pulled out One and flipped through the pages, "I've suspected that there were extraterrestrial godly beings existing. Specifically Greek ones. I've seen a few Greek monsters before, but nothing to really prove my suspicions."

Stan looked to Wendy and Soos. Wendy shrugged, "Greek gods that have been living in secret and are trying to destroy the world? One of the least weird things that happened this summer. At least it makes sense. I'm cool with it."

Soos held up his hands, "Woah, dudes. This should be a fanfiction."

Dipper raised an eyebrow, "Soos, what are you talking about?"

"I believe that our lives are being broadcasted on television in some other dimension."

Mabel rolled her eyes, "That's ridiculous. But if that were true, I would probably be the star on the account of my adorable personality!"

Dipper shook his head, "Your character would get old real fast if you were the only star. I think I would be the main character, while you're the tag-along. Almost the main, but not quite."

"Pfft. Says you, Dipping Dots."

Stan shook his head, "Naw, he's right. You don't have enough issues to be the main character."

"Why thank you Grunkle Stan… I think." Dipper said with some afterthought.

Percy decided to step in before the conversation got too far, "We told you about us, now tell us about you."

Stan rolled his eyes, "Fine. But only the necessities."

Mabel jumped excitedly, "Story time! Story time!"

"In this town of Gravity Falls, there is some sort of weirdness around it," Ford started.

Dipper flipped through his journal, "We don't know how it all started. But there are a bunch of weird creatures populating this whole place. Gnomes, zombies, murderous wax figures…"

"I've spent years doing research on Gravity Falls. This place is special. Dipper found my research at the beginning of the summer—"

"—and I've been trying to solve my own mysteries. But the people of this town seem to have no idea what was going on around them. At first I thought they were all extremely stupid—"

"Which they are."

"—But then I found out that their memories were being erased by the Society of the Blind Eye, dedicated to keeping this town in ignorance. But these memory erasers won't always… stable. It made Old Man McGuckit insane. He lives in the dump now. But then again, he was the one who accidently started the organization anyway. He's trying to get his memories back now."

"Wait," Ford turned to Dipper, "Fiddleford is insane?"

Dipper smacked his forehead, "Oh yeah. That's right! You weren't there for that. Whatever McGuckit saw in the portal was enough for him to want to lose his memories. We saw the videos. It was actually kind of scary."

Mabel nodded, "He walked straight forward, letting Toot-Toot McBumbersnazzle shoot him over and over again. Remember Dipper?"

Dipper nodded, "Yeah, I remember. 'Can't break what's already broken'."

Ford ran his fingers through his hair. "I need a moment." He walked away into the bushes, leaving the odd troop behind.

Mabel looked sad for a moment, but then punched Dipper's arm, "Hey! What was that for?" Dipper asked while rubbing his arm.

"That was for making Great Uncle Ford sad," then she punched him again, "And that was for telling a boring story!"

Dipper frowned and rubbed his arms, "Fine! Then why don't you do it, since you're so great?"

Mabel nodded, "I will." She turned to the confused Demigods, "Sorry for the two geeks back there. I'll tell you the whole story…" she paused dramatically, "The Mable Way!"

Dipper looked at his sister worriedly, "Just the necessities, right Mabel?"

She nodded, "Of course, Bro-Bro. Just necessities," she took a deep breath, "SowhenwefirstarivedhereIdatedaguynamedNormanwhowasn'tactualyanormalmanhewasactualyaGnomenamedJeffandhewantedmetobehisqueenbutDippergotaleafblowerandblewthemawayandthenwetoldGrunkleStanfordwhowasn'tanctualyStanfordhewasStanleybecauseStanfordwasactualytrappedinanotherdimensionandhefakedhisidentitybecause-"

Dipper zoned her out as she went on about portals and a leaf blower. He looked where Grunkle Ford disappeared. He completely forgot to tell him about McGuckit. Stanford mentioned once about how he used to be friends with him. Must be quite a shocker to learn one of your best friends went insane and was now living in the dump. He was about to tell Mabel to remember to breath when Stanford came running out of the bushes. "Gang waaaayyyy!" He screamed.

Ford ran right past them while the rest looked at the peaceful bushes. "What?" asked Stanly, "You used the bathroom downwind or something?"

Then a tree fell down. "Gah!" Dipper jumped and hid behind Wendy. The Demigods already had their weapons out.

It was silent for a few moments, then a giant gnome came crashing through the trees, "There you are, my queen!" Jeff exclaimed, "Or you would be our queen if you just said yes. Oh well. Maybe things would be different if you said yes, but now we have to capture you people and bring you to that creepy kid in the woods."

Mabel pointed her grappling hook at them, "Stay away, Jeff! I already told you, I want to marry one man, not a thousand gnomes!"

"Hmm. Pity. We still love you, my sweet. But unfortunately, due to drastic circumstances, we need to turn you in."

Percy stepped into the water and brandished his sword threateningly, "You stay away from us. I am Percy Jackson, and if you take one step closer, I will send you to Tartarus the hard way."

The Gnome Giant took a few steps back at the threat, remembering their tall tales of Demigods, but Jeff sneered, "Then it's a good thing we brought some help. My gnome allies, ATTACK!"

Out of the bushes came hundreds of creatures. There were unicorns, pixies, the wax head of that talk show guy, Grembolins, Manitaurs, jackolopes, and other monsters even Dipper didn't recognize.

"Surrender now, Halflings!" Jeff screamed.

The Demigods and Mystery Shack workers looked around them. They were hopelessly outnumbered. There was no way they could defeat everything.

Percy saw everybody look to him. They were awaiting his order. He knew there was no way to defeat everything. He sensed some creatures lurking below the depths of the water, waiting for him to attack. As soon as he moved, he would be overwhelmed. They could either go down fighting, or surrender. His friend's lives were in his very hands. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Roman centaurs train their arrows on them. They were surrounded. One move and they were dead.

Percy then made his decision. He glared one last time at Jeff, and threw his weapons down.

After a moment's hesitation, his friends followed. Then the Pines family. Then the employees. Dipper and Ford put their books away, Mabel pocketed grappling hook, Soos and Stan held up their hands above their heads like they were surrounded by the police or something, while Wendy just folded her arms and scowled.

The monsters were instantly upon them. They were tied up and were carried by different creatures. Mabel and Dipper were in the hands of the Gnome Giant, Percy and Stanford were being carried by Grembolins, Piper, Jason, Frank, and Hazel were on the backs of Centaurs, while Soos, Wendy, Annabeth, and Stan were on leashes being pulled by Manitaurs.

Stanford leaned over and whispered, "Don't look into its eyes. You'll see your greatest fear."

Percy, not really interested in being scarred for life, decided to take his word for it.

They were lead deeper and deeper into the woods. More and more monsters joined their sides. Soon there was twice the amount of monsters than there was before.

Mabel looked at Dipper fearfully, "Are we going to be okay?"

Dipper frowned and looked at the swarms of monsters around them. "I… I don't know."

Mabel gulped and nodded, "I know."

Wendy's usually cool demeanor was gone. Each step was hesitant and slow. Soos walked up to her and squeezed her hand. Wendy looked down, shocked, but eventually squeezed back.

Stan looked nervously at his family. They were all about to be led to (probably) their doom! His mind worked ferociously. He was a con-man for crying out loud! There should be a way to get these kids out of this! Bill liked making deals. What can he do? He should be able to trick Bill somehow. Anything to get his family out of this. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a whimper to his left. To his surprise, he saw Annabeth, the girl who threatened to slice him to pieces earlier, was cowering in fear. There was a giant spider slowly moving closer and closer to her. At first Stan laughed at the thought of the steely-eyed girl being afraid of spiders, but then remembered that there was some sort of story of Athena and a spider. From what he could remember, they didn't end in good terms. There also might have also been a unicorn and a machine gun, but meh. His memory wasn't always the best.

He moved closer to the girl and gave the spider a hard look. After glaring at each other for a few seconds, the spider moved on. The girl took a shaky breath, "Th-thanks. Athena and spiders…" she shivered.

Stan shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah, whatever kid." He was about to walk away, but was stopped by the girl.

"Sorry for snapping at you earlier. People look down on Demigods with no powers, especially when they go on quests. A bit of a touchy subject for me."

Stan looked down in surprise at the girl tied up in front of him. But then rolled his eyes, "Well, sorry for bringing it up, then. Stop getting all mushy, it makes me uncomfortable."

Annabeth looked up and smiled, "You don't get off that easy. Tell anybody I got sweet on you and I'll make sure they'll never be able to gather all your remains."

Stan laughed and walked off, "That's much better."

They finally reached a clearing in the woods. There were twelve poles in a circle around a throne of sorts. In the throne was Leo, relaxingly sprawled across it. He had new cloths on now. An old-fashioned suit with a hat and cane. There were creatures of all kinds cowering at his feet, offering multiple valuable things to him. He smiled evilly when he saw his targets enter the clearing, "WELL, WELL, WELL. I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO YA', JEFF, YOU'VE DONE GOOD. I'LL LET YOU AND THE REST OF YOU GNOMES LIVE."

Jeff stepped out of the Gnome Giant and bowed. "Thank you, your Excellency."

Bill waved the comment aside, "NO. NONE OF THAT. I'M A HUMBLE DEMON AND I WANT TO BE CONSIDERED AN EQUAL TO THE REST OF YOU BEINGS. NO, NO, PLEASE. CALL ME YOUR SUPREME MASTER AND OVERLORD FOR ALL ETERNITY, OR MASTER FOR SHORT."

Jeff nodded fearfully, "Yes, m-master."

"THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. NOW, TIE THEM UP TO THOSE POLES AND LEAVE. MAKE SURE THEY'RE TIGHT. THESE GUYS HAVE A KNACK FOR WIGGLING OUT OF SMALL SPACES."

The Demigods and mortals were tied to the poles with their hands above their heads, and the gnomes and most of the monsters left, only leaving a selected few behind. Dipper scowled, "Why did you bring us here, Bill?" he demanded.

"HAHA! IT'S AMAZING HOW STUPID YOU ARE. I'D THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS BY NOW," he paused dramatically, "A SACRIFICE MUST BE MADE!" Bill threw up his arms and laughed evilly. There was silence, "NO? HMM. I IMAGINED IT MUCH MORE DRAMATIC IN MY HEAD."

Percy struggled against the bonds, "Why do you need a sacrifice? I thought it was Gaea who needed one, not you."

"ARE YOU FORGETTING ALREADY, FISH? I MADE A DEAL WITH EARTHY! AND I LIKE TO CONSIDER MYSELF AS A TRIANGLE TO MY WORD. ESPECIALY WHEN THOSE PEOPLE WHO DID A DEAL WITH ME ARE POWERFUL GODDESSES THAT WILL RUIN MY PLANS IF I DON'T."

Percy could almost see the gears spinning in Annabeth's and Ford's mind. "Why would you agree to a deal that will bring your enemy one step closer to world domination?" Annabeth asked.

"WHAT? YOU THINK I'M DUMB ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? NO, NO, GREY. I'M MUCH SMARTER THAN THAT. YOU SEE, MY ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO KILL YOU ALL, RIGHT?" Annabeth nodded, "I MAY HAVE BEEN LYING. YOU SEE, OLD EARTHY WANTED ME TO KEEP TWO ALIVE FOR A SACRIFICE. HAHA! THAT'S FUNNY! KEEP YOU ALIVE JUST TO KILL YOU LATER! HAHA! HILARIOUS!"

Ford tapped his foot impatiently, "Keep going."

"SO, ANYWAYS, WHEN EARTHY TOLD ME THAT, I ASKED MYSELF, 'CIPHER, WE BOTH KNOW THERES NO WAY OUT OF THIS DEAL. SO HOW CAN I BEND THINGS TO GO OUR WAY?' THEN I HAD AN IDEA. BECAUSE SIXER SO CONVENIENTLY COVERED ALL MY PEEPHOLES DOWNSTAIRS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THAT INTERDIMENSIONAL RIFT IS. THEN I ASKED MYSELF, 'SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST CREATE YOUR OWN?'"

Fear slowly started to settle in Ford's stomach, "How do you plan to do that?" he asked.

"WELL, AFTER THE SACRIFICE AND STUFF, OLD EARTHY WILL BE ACTUALY BE USING THAT ENERGY TO BREAK THROUGH A BARRIER. YOU MAY HAVE NOT KNOWN THIS, GREY, BUT YOU ACTUALY LIVE IN A SEPARATE WORLD. THE THING YOU CALL 'THE MIST' IS ACTUALLY THE BARREIR BETWEEN THE TWO WORLDS. IT'S SO THIN AND FRAGILE, I ALMOST MISSED IT. IT GETS THINNER AND THINNER OVER THE YEARS, AND THAT RESULTS PEOPLE YOU CALL 'SEEING MORTALS'. BUT ANYWAY, THE LAST RIFT WAS MADE WHEN SIXER RIPPED THE BARRIER BETWEEN TWO DIMESIONS. THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN WHEN EARTHY DOES IT. IT WILL BE A SMALL AND PATHETIC RIFT, BUT IT'S STILL SOMETHING."

Ford did some quick calculations in his head, "But that's not enough to get you through, though. You'll need a bigger rift."

"GOOD JOB, SIXER! YOU FINALLY FIGURED SOMETHING OUT!" Beo clapped his hands in a mockery of praise, "YOU SEE, EARTHY USES THE ENERGY FROM SACRIFICES TO BREAK THE BOUNDERY. SO I WILL JUST NEED TO MAKE SOME OF MY OWN SACRIFICES. I WILL JUST KILL OFF A FEW PEOPLE ON THE WHEEL, WHILE KILLING THE OTHER SIX IN THE PROPHESY! EARTHY GETS THREE TIMES THE AMMOUNT OF ENERGY THAN SHE WANTED, THEREFORE MAKING A BIGGER AND STRONGER RIFT. THEN, I'LL MAKE A TINY, TINY RIP TO MY DIMMENSION USING THE ENERGY FROM THOSE ON THE WHEEL. COMBINING THE TWO RIFTS, I CAN FORCE IT INTO OPENING MY DIMENSION."

Annabeth furrowed her brows, "But that doesn't make sense. You'll just awake Gaea, and she'll take over the world before you do."

"EARTHY MAY BE STRONGER THAN ME, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S STRONGER THAN MY ENTIRE DIMENSION! ONCE I GET ALL MY BUDDIES THROUGH AND I GAIN A BODY, WE'LL DESTROY THAT ANNOYING WORM PUDDLE BEFORE SHE CAN CRY 'HELP'!"

Dipper and Mabel paled. Grunkle Stan looked around worriedly, hoping to find a way for his family to escape, but then saw Wendy climbing up her pole Queen Padme style. She was tied to the pole behind Bill's back, so he couldn't see. But Annabeth and Ford saw, and both made a silent agreement with each other to keep Bill talking.

"But you originally only wanted to keep two of us alive. How would you been able to make a big enough rift for your plan?"

Beo shrugged his shoulders, "THE MULTIPLE SACRIFICES ARE JUST A PRECAUTION. THE CHANCES OF MY PLAN SUCCEEDING BUMPED UP FROM 70% TO 85%. THAT'S ALL."

Wendy was at the top now. She was untying the knots at the top. The monsters didn't notice. They were too interested in the conversation of world domination.

"Why do you need a new body, Bill? What's wrong with this one?"

"HAHA! THIS OLD FLESH BAG? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS ONE, YOU SAY! HAHAHA! YOU MAKE ME LAUGH, GREY. HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Annabeth narrowed her eyes, "What's so funny?"

Bill wiped tears from his eyes. Both tears of Leo and himself, "SPARKS MAY HAVE FIRE, SPARKS. BUT IF YOU COMPARE HIS POWERS TO MINE, HIS FIRE IS NOTHING MORE THAN DUST IN THE EYES! BESIDES, I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MORTAL BODY FOREVER! WHY, AS SOON AS SPARKS FADES, WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH ALL OF HIS PITIFUL NEEDS, HUH? I DO! AT LEAST WITH MY BODY, I DON'T NEED TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THAT."

Annabeth glared. "Why are you telling us all of this?" Wendy was now trying to chew off her ropes. The ropes weren't exactly the most tip-top condition. The monsters either found them in a trashcan somewhere or made it themselves. Either way, it didn't result a strong rope.

"GOOD POINT, SPARKS. WHY AM I TELLING YOU ALL OF THIS? WHY NOT JUST KILL YOU HERE AND NOW?" Beo leaned in, tight next to her ear, and whispered, "SO I CAN SEE THE FAILURE IN YOUR EYES. SO YOU CAN KNOW, YOU FAILED THE WORLD. YOU FAILED YOUR FRIENDS. YOU FAILED SPARKS." He leaned back and Annabeth shuddered, "SO YOU CAN KNOW, YOU LEFT THE WORLD TO A WORSE STATE THAN WHAT EARTHY WOULD COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED! A STATE WHERE ALL WORLDS END. EGYPTIONS, WIZARDS, ROMANS, GREEKS, ANYTHING! WHERE A WORLD OF DEMONS AND CHAOS REIGNS." He smiled evilly, "EVEN OLD EARTHY WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THAT FAR."

Wendy chewed through the ropes and with a giant leap, landed on the next pole, which held Dipper. She started to hastily untie his ropes.

Percy realized something, "Wait a moment! Won't Gaea be able to hear you and stuff? I mean, this seems like dirt to me," he kicked the ground, sending dirt flying everywhere.

Bill sneered, "YOU INSULT ME, FISH. OLD EARTHY IS SLEEPING AND I'M A DREAM DEMON. YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY POWERS." He slapped Percy. Percy winced, but didn't say anything. It stung, but didn't hurt that bad.

His friends, however, reacted instantly. There were shouts of "Percy!", or "Hey!", and "You stupid Dream Dorito!", and even "You get away from him!"

Percy winced again, but this time from his friends' reactions. "SILENCE!" Bill screamed, "YOU PITIFUL FLESH BAGS ARE TOO SENTIMENTAL! GEEZ! COMPARED TO WHAT SPARKS IS GOING THROUGH, THAT WAS A LOVE TAP! GET OVER IT!"

Hazel and Piper turned a dangerous shade, "What did you do to Leo?"

Bill suddenly doubled over in pain, wheezing. Everyone stared in shock. Then Bill came back up, completely fine, "THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT. HE'S ALMOST DEAD ANYWAY. SPEAKING OF WHICH, WE WASTED ANOUGH TIME ALREADY! WE NEED TO MAKE THE SACRIFICES BEFORE SPARKS RUNS OUT OF FIRE!"

Bill ran back to his throne and started to shuffle through an old box next to it. He brought out paper, ink, rocks, candles, a can of gasoline, a grey stone with strange inscriptions on it, a knife, and a strange crystal. Then he looked up and saw Wendy's empty pole, "HEY! WHERE DID ICE BAG GO?"

Wendy waved her hands, "Up here you sorry excuse for a Dorito! How 'bout you sacrifice someone your own size?"

Bill growled and lit his hands on fire, "GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! I CAN MAKE YOUR DEATH IMMENSELY PAINFUL, YOU KNOW!"

Wendy stuck out her tongue, "You were already going to do that, you big isosceles jerk!" she finished untying Dipper and he started to untie Percy. But that was hard to do because his hands were still tied together.

Bill noticed this, and shot his ball of flame at Dipper, "OH NO YOU DON'T! YOU ARE NOT ESCAPING ME AGAIN!"

Dipper jumped out of the way, and Percy duck his head, trying to shield himself the best he could.

The flame landed right next to Percy's pole, and Dipper hid behind it, unsure what to do.

"My pocket," Percy whispered.

"What?"

"My pocket!" he hissed, "A pen. Uncap it and cut me loose,"

Dipper didn't know how a pen could cut someone loose, but he searched his pockets until he found the said pen. He hesitantly uncapped it, and yelped in surprise when it turned into a sword. Dipper stared at the glowing sword before him in awe.

"Cut me loose!"

Dipper shook his head, remembering what he was supposed to be doing. Bill shot another fireball just as Dipper swung the sword. He cut the ropes, and Percy rolled out of the way just in time. He quickly used the sword to cut Dipper's bonds, and he pulled out his journal.

Bill's eyes flickered red with fury and he rounded on the Grembolin, "YOU DIDN'T SEARCH THEM!?"

The Grembolin cowered in fear and shrugged his shoulders weakly.

Bill growled, "YOU STUPID, PATHETIC, USELESS, IRRELEVANT SPEC OF THE UNIVERSE! I SWEAR—" he was cut off by Wendy, who jumped off the pole and tackled him to the ground, "UGH! YOU IDIOTS! GET THEM!"

That felt long! Was it long? I dunno, what is 'long' in your opinion? You guy's liked everything okay! Tell me if you didn't! And usually, I don't like it in crossover stories where they just say, "With all the crazy things that happened in my life, this doesn't really surprise me," but if you really think about all the things they've seen this summer, then I don't think it would be that hard for them to process. And I know Bill is OC. You guy's may not think so, but I do. It's really hard for to keep him in character while he's not at the dreamscape. And I also think this is a bit cheesey, but I'm too lazy to change it. So I'm going to show the votes now!

1. Gravity Falls and Danny Phantom crossover: 1

2. Gravity Falls and Avatar the Last Airbender: 2

3. Gravity Falls Transcendence AU Fanfiction: 0

4. Kung Fu Panda meets Human: 0

5. TMNT and Danny Phantom crossover: 1

If I get enough votes next for this chapter, I think I'll narrow it down and put some more description in it. The reason I haven't described it yet was because I'm afraid someone will steal my ideas. I plan to do all of them eventually, but I want to know which one I should do first. I'm also working on a cover for this story. It's going to be crappy, but meh. It's better than nothing.

So vote guys!

I own nothing but this story. I do not own a business, so I do not own any of the TV shows or books I've included in this chapter and all my other chapters.
