Chapter 8
A/N I don't own Gravity Falls
Also I will try to updates more because of the break!
Wendy
We had just managed to escape Gravity Falls after being attacked by those men. "Who were they!?" we stared at Phantom as he just took a sigh and replied, "Those were Phooey's men, they wanted to capture you and take away your powers. The twins replied, "What powers!" Phantom took another sigh before stating, "You two have what is called the power of infinity, also known as the infinity force inside of you. You two are destined to open the gate of infinity, found at the star circle." With that, the Rocky mountains came into view.
Dipper
I asked Phantom "Where are we going?" He replied, "I have a military base in the Rockies, that is where I will train you." Then I asked him, "Train for what?" Phantom replied, "For war." Then I said to him, "Before we train, tell us the truth!" Then he put what was on his wrist on the control panel, and set it to autopilot. Then he told us, "I guess I will have to tell you the true story of your family. But first, Wendy! Wake up!" She woke up and asked, "What is it?" Phantom looked at her and replied, "Please fly this Osprey, the autopilot usually sucks." We were all paying attention as Phantom started his story.
Phantom
I have no choice, but to tell the "twins" the truth before we start training. I had hoped that this could wait until after we reached the base, but I have absolutely, positively, no choice.
Piedmont, California
Sgt. Stanford Pines ret.
Elite Sniper team (EST) Squad 3
12/5/2000
It has been 25 years since I lost Phantom. Since then I, retired from the military, and joined an elite sniper group. My team is sent all over America to find threats, and end them. My Latest mission takes me to my nephew's hometown of Piedmont. Only one threat. Only me, and my spotter, were going this time.
The time was 11:00 PM and the threat was in my sights, sitting at park bench. I took into account everything, wind, bullet spin, and gravity. Then I pulled the trigger. The wind picked up at the last second and bullet went wide. It flew into a passing car and killed the driver. I saw a baby in the back seat. Then that car careened into a passing car causing an explosion. I was horrified by the sight, and I chose to leave the army behind with that.
Then right before I left, I saw a car, with my nephew and his wife inside, stumble across the flaming wreckage. My nephew ran into each of the cars and rescued the only survivors, two one-year-old children, one from each car.
I retired to Gravity Falls.
Stan's Nephew
I jumped out of my car after seeing the burning wreckage. My wife yelled, "Be careful!" I ran into both of the cars and saved the kids inside each car, a boy and a girl, who were the only survivors of the crash. After I brought them to my wife, who said, "They're beautiful, what should we do with them?" I said to her, "Lets adopt them, they need a family and we have no children of our own." As rescue workers came, we found out that the two kids I saved were orphans because of the car crash and had no family to live with. So the next day, we adopted them.
As we were leaving the adoption agency, my wife said, "They look so much like each other, almost like twins." I replied, "So why don't we call them twins, the Pines twins." "It was sad that the both their birth certificates were destroyed, we don't know their real names." My wife said to me. Then I replied, "Yeah, stupid bank robbers, and computer hackers. How about we call the boy Dipper for the birth mark on his forehead and the girl Mabel? Also why don't we say the girl is five minutes older than the boy, it took me five minutes to rescue the boy after the girl." My wife nodded in agreement and said, "Dipper and Mabel Pines, after so long, we finally have kids!" And the two of us were laughing in joy. Then our two new kids started laughing with us. We were finally a family.
Back to the present:
Phantom
I ended my story with "That is the truth, you two aren't twins, you aren't even related." Dipper and Mabel were extremely surprised, had tears in their eyes and were holding eachother close, by what I told them. Even Wendy didn't know what to say. I just said, "Guys I know you are trying to process another lie, but I must train you to defeat Phooey before he can win. Do you accept me to be your master?" The two nodded, as did Wendy, and I said, "I will train the three of you to help fight Phooey, tomorrow." And with that I opened the base hanger door and we entered it to start training tomorrow.
Phooey
"Sir we have lost them." The colonel said to me. "Find them!" I yelled at him. Triangulating location of twins. Following fuel trail and energy fields. Found, they are at the center of the Rocky Mountains. He is going to train them. "Well go get them" I yelled before every one saluted and left my sight. In fact to make sure we get them, I will be joining my men on this mission. Phantom, you are in for a big surprise! I should bring my sword.
A/N I ask that you review, and comment or PM me advice. This chapter wasn't the greatest. I also have to thank TheBigZ1 for helping me finish my idea for the story of Dipper and Mabel. Finally I really need ideas on how to continue! Send some!
