CHAPTER 2: DEAD HEAT

Dramathrax then gets a signal from his earpiece and then he hears Gideon's voice.

"I thought I told you I didn't want them all dead, Mabel is to be spared!"

Dramathrax then reply's back.

"Easy, easy I'm were just setting the stage for all four of them, it looks like I won't be disappointed I've been looking for another challenge for a very long time."

Gideon then reply in his usual whiny voice whenever he gets ticked off about something.

"I didn't summon you to play games with them!"

"Gideon that is part of what makes my job even more satisfying having the ultimate challenge to conquer and once conquered becoming its master."

"Look just get it done or I will send you all back to that shithole Parkland, Washington where you will be trapped forever."

Dramathrax irritated with Gideon's lack of enthusiasm, artistic sensibility, but worst of all that damn southern folksy whinny voice he must hear. So, he says with bitter distain.

"It shall be done master."

The communications then cut off and then Dhramathrax says with bitter irritation.

"I'll find a way to break out of the spell and make his organs into car parts!"

Dhramathrax then revs up the engine on his motorcycle and then goes toward Herschel Gordon Lewis Street going toward Kaufman Cemetery.

Dipper, Mabel, Adam and Wendy are all running and are tired. Everything around them has gotten cold and has produced a thick mist which has covered them to their upper torso. They see a big bared fence and they all climb it seeing it's an open area thinking that it's a park. They then see some open land nearby which a clear spot of the mist is and run to it and catch their breath.

Mabel then looks at Adam,

"Ah, man I don't know if I can run anymore."

Wendy looks at them with a look of exhaustion.

"Yeah, we need to take five."

Adam then looks and sees someplace.

"How about that park right there."

They all then go through the fence and then then run and see a gazebo and run to it and sit on the benches and breathe in and out. After they all catch their breath, Wendy then takes the floor first to assess the situation.

"Alright, first what the hell was that chasing us?"

Mabel then takes the floor next.

"And why would he want to kill us, what did we ever do to him?"

Dipper then is shaking his head composing himself.

"I haven't the faintest clue, but that thing trying to kill us looks

Like a demon."

Adam then looks at Dipper.

"Demon, but how is it possible?"

"Its Gravity Falls anything is possible."

"Could you get to the point Dipper," says Wendy

"I'm getting there, according to the book Eibon there are

Several kinds but the one well known and the most feared are the

Earth walkers, whom are supposedly the hardest to kill."

Adam then looks up in the air and says with sarcasm.

"Great, we just needed another challenge."

Mabel then looks at Dipper.

"Isn't there any way to kill them?"

Dipper looks at Mabel with concern.

"I'm not sure, we've got to get to the Dojo where I've hid the book, in it it will tell us everything we need to know."

Dipper continues.

"We need to get to the Dragon Dojo, get our weapons to defend ourselves from this maniac, something tells me he won't stop till we're all dead."

Adam then looks around and says, "But in the meantime we should hide out here for a while."

Dipper then looks at him.

"Are you kidding me, he's going to come find us any moment."

"If we go out he'll find us and kill us."

"I say we run."

"I say we hide."

Wendy then shakes his head is distain as she sees both Dipper and Adam get

Riled up with each other again. She then steps in to take the floor.

"Guys knock it off, I have a way to decide this."

Wendy then takes a stone lying on top of a surface and it's a colored rock, Mabel gets a bit excited by the finding.

Mabel says, "Wow, that's a nice rock."

But then Wendy then spits on one face of it and Mabel feels sad for the rock.

"Ah, and it was so pretty."

Wendy then looks at both.

"Alright both of you call it."

Adam says, "Tails"

Dipper says, "Heads."

Wendy then throws the stone and it hits one of the poles of the gazebo that is at the middles and bounces off a few other poles and then goes to the ground.

Wendy says, "Alright, whichever end is face up wins."

Dipper and Adam then both sigh at the same time realizing that it's a long distance from where their standing and that the gazebo is swallowed up by the great amount of mist. Both look at each other a little nervous about that thick mist.

Dipper says, "Um, you go first."

Adam then looks at Dipper in puzzlement.

"Wait a minute why me."

"Because you're the strongest."

"That doesn't me I can't die."

"Well I'm not Robocop."

"And I'm not the Terminator."

Wendy and Mabel roll their eyes and say at the same time with slight irritation.

"GUYS!"

Both look at their girlfriends and say at the same time, "Sorry."

Suddenly, Dipper then sees the mist from the place start to clear up a little and then sees stones that are lined in positions and places and he realizes where they're at and is shaking in his boots.

"This isn't a park it's a cemetery!"

Mabel she then shakes with a bit of fright and then looks at Adam from the distance with a little bit of distain and yells.

"You blockhead you just brought us to zombie central."

Wendy then looks at where she took one of the stones which is from a grave marker and then shakes her right hand with disgust as if she touched something gross.

"Yuck, I just took one of the stones from the grave."

Mabel says, "That's supposed to give anyone bad luck.

Adam then shakes his head and puts his hands up in a reassuring manner.

"Will you all relax, this place is peaceful, absolutely nothing and

I mean nothing bad happens here."

But there is a presence on the roof of a crypt that Dipper points to in fright.

"How about right now!"

Dhramathrax is on the roof of the Gazebo and then jumps down and all four of them then run away and then he walks right to the middle and looks out.

"Man, this place is dead, lets liven things up"

Dhramathrax the then casts a spell in the cemetery and then suddenly there are some hands coming out for the ground and the corpses coming out their graves are of disgraced warriors from ninja, samurai, shaolin monks, Mongolian soldiers, Chinese soldiers etc. Mabel, Dipper, Wendy and then breathe a sigh Mabel then looks at Adam with even more distain.

"You're a born blockhead!"

Adam then blushes in embarrassment. Dipper shakes his head.

"Wait a minute why does Gravity Falls cemetery have so many martial arts warriors buried?"

One of them in some old Chinese Soldiers get up has tiny knives and throws them their way and each of them immediately roll in different directions and the knives land on a few grave markers. Wendy looks at Dipper.

"Who cares?"

All four of them then form a circle as the group of several disgraced warriors forms a line. There are so many of them in different get up and all in different colors blue, red, grey, green, brown, and yellow and all of them are eyeing the group with looks of evil and drooling of rapid hunger and rage wanting to kill them.

Wendy then says, "We've got to spilt up, make them spread apart and widdle the odds down."

Adam then looks at Dipper and then gives some sort of sign language and Dipper understands what he just signed, and he then does the same for both Wendy and Mabel to prepare them for their action. And then both on their belts they open the mid-sized silver oval belt buckles a certain way by sliding them an inch to their right and then opening the buckle up to their right where there is a ball bearing that is latched on to the back of the buckle. They take them out and then throw the bearing hard right onto the tombstones and it produces a bright flash which covers about the entire area which disorients and hurts the eyes of all the undead disgraced warriors which Dipper, Adam, Mabel and Wendy have their eyes covered slightly and are running to different areas of the cemetery.

The Disgraced Martial Artists soon regain their senses and they chase each of them down where ever they went and then converge on them and them all fight. Adam is doing some blocks with a zombie monk whose skin is blue and grey, face is rotten as there are no eyes in the sockets and a worm sticks out. Adam is doing some kempo as he continues to block the strikes and then when he blocks again he seizes his chance and then executes a combo doing multiple punches spots on the chest, a couple of the arms and the head, Adam then executes one really hard punch to the head where his fist literally goes thought the zombie monk and is a little gooey from some of the blood, pus, and bone that cakes it. Adam then retracts his hand and the zombie goes down then looks at it is making a disgusted look and then tries to wipe it off on his clothes.

Wendy is running as a few of the floating monk zombies are coming toward her and then he comes to a gardening tool shed and opens it and then he takes out a Rake and as one of them fly toward him with a spear. Wendy then blindly swings the rake at the zombie and it hits its chest and Wendy pulls down on it and the rake then shreds down opening the zombie's chest and making its entrails and guts spill all over Wendy. The zombie goes down on the ground and Wendy pulls the rake off and finishes the zombie off by executing an overhead strike on the head of the zombie's head which is cut in half right between the mouth and forehead, Wendy then wedges the rake and separates the half of the head, making the forehead roll on the ground a meter or two. Wendy then gets tackled by one of the other floating zombies that take Dipper to the ground. The zombie is trying to bite him as Wendy is struggling but Wendy holds its head up with one hand and in another he finds a pot and then smashes it on it's head which knocks it away from him momentarily. The zombie monk then gets up and then Wendy he takes out two trowels and then stabs the monk in the neck deep and then burring both of the trowel blades so deep he then pops the head off like a pez dispenser and as it pops off the body the black blood of the neck stump shoots out like a geyser that when the body slumps forward most of it hit's Wendy making him more messy. Wendy then sees the last floating monk come toward him and reaching out with it's hands, but then Wendy stabs it with a hole clump digger in the stomach and then quickly places the handle on a vice and clamps it down to hold the zombie in place. The zombie monk then struggles to pull off but then Wendy takes a hole and then brains it and pulls out half of it's brain and that missing portion then squirts out blood onto Wendy. Wendy then breaths a sigh of relief.

Wendy says, "Thank god I spent a lot of summers at survival apocalypse camp."

Meanwhile Mabel is in trouble as several undead Samurai in armor and kendo uniform wear are running after her with swords. She then finds a few replacement wall gate pars from and area that was going to replace part of a gate. Mabel sees a few of the samurai that are running toward her and she then hurls two of the bars like they were spears and each of them hit a couple right through the head. There is one in a Kendo uniform that is running toward her with the sword overhead charging. She then throws three spears at the zombie, one hit it in the crouch, another in the heart and the last right through the head. It drops its sword and then Mabel runs to it and then takes it up going into a stance as she sees at least a few of them left. Three of the zombies they commence attack and Mabel is blocking the strikes but then she suddenly jumps up on a tombstone and then executes a back flip once the Samurai swung at her and missed as he executes a back flip to go over the strike. Each of the Samurai rally for a final strike but Mabel doesn't waist time and just decapitates all three Samurai zombies and each one gushes out different colored blood. One green, another turquoise, and another yellow which gets a little on what she's wearing. She looks and says, "Damn this was a new outfit."

Dipper and Adam go to a Gazebo like structure and they see a few of the Chinese Jumping Zombies and they are jumping toward them and both go into a stance. Adam sees one of the jumping zombies and he then does a jump spinning hook kick which is a powerful one as it is hard enough to decapitate the zombie and it goes down spurting a geyser of black blood which unfortunately sprays onto both Dipper and Adam. Dipper and Adam then shake it off as they then see another one of the jumping zombies and then it jumps right toward both them this time fast as if someone shot a baseball from the baseball shooter. Both of then then roll different directions and then the jumping zombie then crashes straight at the gazebo knocking out a support and knocking the whole structure down. Dipper then gets up and then sees two of the jumping zombies that are jumping toward him, Dipper then executes a double jump front kick having both his legs in midair and then both his feet connect with the heads of the two jumping zombies hard and both their heads are decapitated but then once again they produce a geyser of blood and it hits both Adam and Dipper roll their eyes with frustration seeing how they once again got soiled.

Adam finds the stone and he sees it landed on the tails end, he then acts excited as he runs in place briefly.

"Hey, I won its tails."

One of the zombies doesn't have a spear and so takes one of the wooden sandals off one of the zombies whom then loses his balance and falls to the ground and then the zombie throws the sandal Adam's direction and it hits him in the nose.

"Owwww, you FUCK!"

Adam then throws the rock the zombies direction and it hits the zombie hard and it takes part of its skull off and the zombie goes down. Adam then has a smirk but then another wooden sandal is thrown someplace and hits his nose again.

"Owwww, GOD DAMNIT!"

He then sees where the source of the other throw comes from and it from a whole group of disgraced warrior zombies charging his way. Dipper, Mabel and Wendy all regroup with him and they all go into stances and once the group of zombies comes into range. All four executes different combos; Adam executes some Kempo style thunder punch combinations where he is just throwing punches toward the torso and head rapidly. Dipper a round house kick and spinning round house kick. Wendy a mui tai jump knee strike and several elbow and punch strikes. Mabel a jump front kick and three well placed right side kicks that go from groin, chest, and head. And then the entire group of disgraced zombie warriors all stop as if on pause and then they all fall simultaneously. Adam and the rest then breath a sigh of relief.

Adam says, "Well that was easy."

Dipper, Mabel and Wendy look at him with distain from that comment and then simultaneously slap him on the back of the head.

"Owwww, am I everyone's bullseye.

Dhramathrax then jumps down from behind all four and then belches, the foul breath makes all four pauses as the odor is just overwhelming their senses. Dharmathrax then points left and right with two fingers and then points at both Dipper and Adam. He then picks both up with both his hands.

"Well I enjoyed the show but it's time to kill you now."

Both Dipper and Adam scream at Dhramathrax. Dhramathrax is repelled by the scent of their breath and then throws both down. Dhramathrax then blinks himself to recovery, Mabel and Wendy come Dipper and Adam's side to check to see if their ok. Dhramathrax makes a full recovery.

"That's it, I'm giving you all tickets to Hell."

Mabel then steps up and says, "Yeah, ok before you do tell me do you know if there is toad Peanut Butter in Hell?"

Dhramathrax is confused by the nonsensical question.

"What…."

Mabel while asking the question takes off her fake hairpin and then throws it on the ground which produces lots of smoke. Dhramathrax then coughs from the smoke cloud produced and just when it clears up all four of them are gone.

Dhramathrax is frustrated but then suddenly gets a signal on his earpiece. Dhramathrax he really doesn't want to answer but due to the curse Gideon put on him he has no choice, he then puts his right finger on the earpiece to open communication, he then hears Gideon in his usual frustrated tone.

"Dhramathrax, report back here at once."

Dhramathrax sighs.

"Yes, master."

He then turns it off and sighs.

"Damn, I think this is going to be a long night."
