It was now sunset. Dipper, Mabel, Grunkle Stan, Soos, Wendy, Candy and the three Elkron, armed and ready to combat the insane 3-4 foot long MagnaSpiders, found the whole town of Gravity Falls in a state of disarray. Not really in ruins, but instead having sticky silk webbing everywhere, connected to every house and almost every nearby tree. Most of the captured populace were all wrapped up in web and stuck together in a giant web ball high atop the water tower.
"Now this is both disgusting...and money-worthy!" said Stan, sickened by the sight of the webs but also feeling intrigued.
"Looks like Gravity Falls is literally 'tied up' at the moment," commented Soos.
"This is soooo like some sort of fantasy or science fiction movie," said Mabel, feeling ready, "Let's just not end up like every other Human here."
"I'm sure ready to kick some Spider abdomen with this neat weapon," said Wendy, both admiring her threat-fighter and feeling up to the challenge of saving lives.
"Are the MagnaSpiders going to just conquer Oregon?" Candy asked Dipper, curiously.
"From what the Elkron have said," replied Dipper, looking a bit worried, "they won't stop until the whole world is rid of 'advanced' Humans."
"Speaking of which, where are those Deer-heads anyway?" asked Stan, looking around, noticing that the Elkron were suddenly not nearby.
The group then spotted the three Elkron close to an empty intersection, already fighting a sudden wave of MagnaSpiders with their bows and arrows, doing very skilled leaps to dodge the giant Spiders' blows. Dryosaicha, as she fought, was determined to protect the world from the MagnaSpiders because protecting the innocent was one of her life virtues. Her brother, Sylvouranis, also felt determined to help in this great conflict as he fought the exoskeletal creatures with ease. Hylaeocervopus, however, was only concerned about stopping these abominations of Arachnids and secretly did not really care what would happened to all of humanity.
"Well, they've got the right idea," chuckled Wendy, "Now let's get to freeing our home!"
A great battle had now broken out. The Elkron skillfully dodged venomous fanged blows and shot at their attackers with amazing accuracy with their arrows. The six Humans, used their threat-fighters to at least frighten the MagnaSpiders (the tools only swiftly extended out their somewhat tennis-like front parts that clearly intimidated the big Arachnids).
Mabel, at that moment, saw something peculiar. "Hey, isn't that Tambry's phone?"
Just 4 meters away from where Mabel was standing, two MagnaSpiders were staring at the lost phone of Tambry, poking its edges with curiosity. Right above them, Tambry hung upside-down from a lamppost, all wrapped up in web with only her nose, eyes hair exposed. She shouted, muffled by the webbing over her mouth, in desperation and fear as she saw the two Spiders toy with her phone, thinking that this Human-made device was an abomination.
"Looks like we have more things to save," said Mabel, heading over to the two MagnaSpiders to fend them off.
"How come we can't get things to squish these Spiders with, like what the Elkron have?" complained Stan, wanting some more action.
Just at that moment, Sylvouranis heard the complaint and wanted to help. So he quickly turned away from fighting the MagnaSpiders and whistled with a short melody, and out of the sky flew what he had summoned, landing right onto the ground. It was about the size of a Lion and had the body, tail and back legs of a Lion; the head and wings of a Golden Eagle; and a Golden Eagle's talons as its front feet; not to mention also having prominent, Horse-like ears on its head; its plumage being darkish brown. "Have you ever ridden a North American Griffin?" asked Sylvouranis.
The six Humans shook their heads from side to side in response. "Now things like Griffins are turning out real around here?" said Dipper, "Anyways, how do we ride it?"
"It is easy. I know this Griffin here. This one is very loyal to fighting evil," said the Elkron.
Pretty soon, Dipper, Mabel, Wendy and Candy boarded onto the large flyer's back. Stan and Soos could not because they would add a little too much weight for the mixed-looking beast to carry. Before they could ask Sylvouranis any questions, the Elkron went back to fighting the MagnaSpiders with the two others of his kind. The Griffin understood the situation at hand, let out a loud call that was part Lion roar and part Golden Eagle cry. Pumping its wings, it ran swiftly -the four young Humans hanging on tight to each other and the creature's hide with their threat-fighters attached to their pant pockets like pens- and took to the wing like a airplane or a great predatory Bird.
Riding atop a North American Griffin was a rather exciting experience for the four adolescents, the wind blowing in their faces. It flew a few laps above the tree line to give them a bit of an experience.
"This might be a little dangerous!" announced Dipper.
"This is amazing! Riding on a Griffin" spoke out Mabel in delight.
"It seems risky," said Candy, trying not to look down, "But it is also fun!"
"I never thought this would happen to me neither," added Wendy, "but riding on the back of a legendary Animal, like this Griffin, is really awesome! Far better than being kidnapped by a giant evil Gargoyle."
"Hey, Griffin," Dipper asked the beast, since he was seated closest to its head, "Can you understand what I am saying?"
The Griffin nodded and growl-squawked in response. Clearly, it could understand the Humans' verbal words, but could not speak in the same tongue, due to it having a beak instead of lips.
"Okay, then," said Dipper, "Fly us around the MagnaSpiders so we can fight them off with our threat-fighters."
Obeying, the Griffin took a swift turn, now suddenly flying over the town, pretty close to the street. Dipper, Mabel, Candy and Wendy got their threat-fighters ready and aimed at the MagnaSpiders. The threat-fighters flipped their tennis-like points at the great Arachnids, frightening them back. The Griffin aided in this battle by using its claws on all four of its feet to slash at the Spiders, one by one, taking several of them done. It used its beak to slash at them in addition.
As the battle continued, not much progress was made, for no matter how many giant Spiders the team took down or threatened away, they just kept coming. Hylaeocervopus shouted out to the rest of the group that they were clearly outnumbered, 10 to countless. It was time that they stop the MagnaSpiders by getting at their source...their original prison.
Oddly, the MagnaSpiders did not go after the 6 Humans, the 3 Elkron and Griffin. Most likely they were mostly focused on stringing up their already captured victims. The Elkron brought the group deep into the forest for safety from the rampaging Spiders and to find the original prison. The Griffin was indeed following them, this time moving on foot since flying through the trees would be difficult for its size.
"I've never thought those things would be so numerous!" said Stan, feeling surprised.
"Well, Grunkle Stan, 'those things' want all settler Humans dead," said Dipper, reminding his granduncle, "And they've obviously been multiplying just for this occasion."
"Who knew fighting lots of giant Spiders as big as Dogs would be so hard," said Mabel.
"Clearly, rolled-up newspapers won't work," joked Soos.
"Man, those things are unstoppable!" said Wendy.
"W-what do we do at the MagnaSpider prison, Elkron?" Candy asked the three Elkron as they lead the way.
"We are to stop them at their source," responded Hylaeocervopus, not looking at Candy as he spoke, "We disrupt their spawning pool."
"Spawning pool?" replied the 6 Humans altogether.
"It is where they continue to fertilize their eggs to make more of their kind," said Dryosaicha, glancing back at them, "It will either destroy them, change their behaviors, or both."
"It will be quite ingenuitive to stop them," added Sylvouranis, loving the strategy of how the plan would work since he loved planning and inventing things.
The Griffin nudged Dipper and Mabel with its beak and made a few purr/cooing sounds with its beak a little bit open for the whole of the group to hear. This was a way of assuring them that whatever might happen, this fantastical beast would have their back.
