Disclaimers: I Do Not own Gravity Falls

Author's Notes: Yes Now the Actions really going to Start!

(Gravity Falls, Ford's Study...)

Work!

There was so much of it to do!

Ford groaned as the phone rang throughout his lab. "Stanley get the phone!" Ford called out loudly, but the phone continued to ring!

'Knowing Stan he's probably past out from the trip!' he realized. After the twins had left he and Stan had chased down a giant squid! They eventually caught the beast and brought it back for study. It was soon discovered that this giant beast had been responsible for the sinking of several ships!

Unfortunately the damage caused by wrestling the creature caused the Stan O' War 2 to sink as well. Luckily they had already made it to the dox before it finally sunk to the depths below, allowing them to keep their discovery. Yes the trip wasn't a total loss, but without another ship the Stan twins were forced to move back in with Soos and his grandmother.

Luckily Soos had added an extra room for him and Melody allowing Stan to have his old room, and his grandmother to move into the break room. Of course Ford had the basement, and had moved a bed into his study for when he actually found time to sleep.

"Stanley the phone!" Ford screamed louder this time, but the phone continued to ring. He groaned "Must I do everything myself?" he snapped and answered the landline sitting beside him. "Yes hello?"

"Is this Stanford Pines?" A voice asked. "Yes who is this?"

"This is Michel Wormwood." The voice answered in a low whisper, as if he was afraid of being over heard.

"Wormwood?" Ford asked. "As in Ivan Wormwood." "Yes he is my father." Michel answered.

"Is everything alright? Is Ivan in trouble?" Ford asked suddenly feeling fearful for his old friend. "No he is safe, but there is something I must ask of you." Michel said.

"Of course anything." Ford answered.

"Not here it's too dangerous to discuss this over the phone." Michel said softly. "The fate of the world is at stake here."

"Then where can we meet." Ford asked, urgency creeping into his voice.

"The old alien space ship." Michel said. "My father documented his life in his own personal journal as all leaders of the order do. He spoke of an Alien space ship that you once showed him is it still there."

"Yes it is still there." Ford assured him. "But this order you speak of could you be talking about the-"

"No not here!" Michel interrupted him. "The enemy could be listening!"

Ford bit his tongue, but nodded all the same. "Very well when do you want to meet?" "NOW!" Michel ordered.

"Very well I am on my way." Ford assured him. "Okay please hurry!" Michel rasped, and hung up.

Ford hung up the phone as well, his entire body shaking, if Michel was talking about what he thought he was than Ivan's son might need him much more than he thinks.

Ford sighed as he took two picture from his desk, the first is a picture of Dipper showing off a grin and a peace sign in front of some alien text on a space ship's wall. The second is Dipper showing Wendy his Birth mark!

"I had hoped this day would never come." He whispered, deep down he had known the truth all along, but he had been hoping that he was mistaken. However there was no way to deny it now, why else would Wormwood's son be contacting him; if not for this?

'I promise I won't let anything hurt you!' He vowed, placing the pictures in his coat pocket, and making his leave.

Unfortunately it is a promise that he may not be able to keep…

(Back with Michel who is waiting in the Spaceship...)

It didn't take long for him to arrive…

"Hello?" A voice echoed on the alien walls around him. "My name is Stanford Pines we talked on

the phone!"

He didn't bother answering it.

"Are you here yet?" the voice spoke once more.

Than seconds later a light illuminated the room, and Michel and the brothers of the Guardians of The Stars surrounded the new comer.

It was an older gentleman in glasses

"It's just as I feared." The man said. "You're the members of the secret order, the Guardians of The Stars."

"Yes you are correct old man." Michel said, he was covered in his red robes, as his brothers were. "Now sate your name."

"My name is Stanford Pines, my friends call me Ford." Ford said as he took one his hand out of its black glove. "And if you need proof I doubt just any beast can copy my Birth defect."

"So you have the six fingers." Michel said taking off his hood. "But that doesn't explain how you met my father."

Ford tapped his head, and a loud metal clank echoed around the room. "The enchanted metal still works like a charm." He laughed. "You'll have to thank him again for me, it really came in handy with Bill."

Michel sighed in obvious relief. "Forgive me for the secrecy." He said. "I had to be sure these are dark times."

"I Know." Ford said gravely, taking Michel by surprise. "You know?" another cloaked brother asked.

"This is about the Big Dipper isn't it?" Ford asked. "How could you know that?" Michel gasped.

"Because I believe I already know the child that you seek." Ford answered as he pulled out a picture from his coat pocket. "My great nephew Dipper has a very distinct birth mark, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about." Ford handed them the picture along with a second picture of Dipper revealing his birth mark.

Michel took the pictures with shaking hands. "You knew all this time, you know the order exists, and still you kept this from us."

"I am sorry." Ford sighed. "I had hoped that I was wrong in my suspicions." He admitted. "Besides an extreme thirst for answers about the supernatural world Dipper has no supernatural abilities of his own."

"He maybe too young for the abilities to appear just yet." Michel informed him. "But there is no doubt in my mind that this is the Big Dipper."

Ford sighed, fear threatened to bring him to his knees, but he managed to stay standing. "Okay tell me how bad it is?"

"What?" Michel asked.

"You said the fate of the world was at risk, my great Nephew is in trouble and I deserve to know his prophecy." Ford demanded.

"To know the prophecies of the Star children you must be a member of the brotherhood." A cloaked man stated.

"Then make me one!" Ford demanded.

"As you wish." Michel assured him. "But I must warn you, even when you become one of us there is no guarantee that you can save him."

"What do you mean?" Ford yelled.

"Only one holds the fate of the Big Dipper in his hands, and it is not you nor any of us." Michel answered sadly.

"Then who?" Ford asked. "Who holds Dipper's fate?" "The price of darkness." Michel whispered.

"The prince of demons!" Ford was shocked, Dipper's fate was in the hands of a demon, and not just any demon at that!

The Prince of Darkness had disappeared well over a century ago, he was so lost in time that no one human or otherwise; could tell you what he looked like, or what kind of powers he held.

"Is that why Ivan has not come?" Ford asked gravely. "Has he lost hope in my great nephew because his fate is in the hands of a demon?"

"Yes." Michel said coldly.

"Well he is wrong to do so!" Ford said. "My great nephew has dealt with a demon before! You forget it was him who led us to victory against Cipher not me!"

"My father may believe the Prince will be his undoing, but I do not." Michel assured him. "The Oracle said the prince would save the Big Dipper not destroy him!"

"Then you must do whatever it is to make me part of the order so that I can help my nephew." Ford demanded.

"You must come with us to see the Oracle yourself." The coat brother from before spoke again. "Only she can look deep into your heart and say if you are worthy enough to join our ranks."

"Very well then take me to her!" Ford ordered. "That will not be necessary!" A voice echoed.

They all turned to see…

"It's the Oracle Mekhi." Michel gasped.

"Yes it is I." Mekhi whispered hoarsely, her voice continued to echo off the walls. "And I see great things in you Stanford Pines! But even you cannot stop what is to come!"

"Please tell me!" Ford begged. "Tell me what is going to happen to Dipper!"

"Tonight the rain returns, our hope is a new at the sight of the falling Dipper's bright light." the Oracle Mekhi hissed as she recited the prophecy once more. "But alas this joy will not last. His birth shall mark a time of serenity and a world of darkness. A deal will be struck with the king of dreams, gravity shall fall; and earth will become sky, fear the beast with just one eye."

"That's Bill's prophecy!" Ford declared.

"As soon as the sky turns red, a broken promise shall cause the world's end. But the love of a brother will save us all." Mekhi continued.

'Dipper broke his promise to his sister about returning home at the end of the summer, in the end it caused Bill to get the rift! And Stan's Love and sacrifice for me saved us all!' Ford was stunned. "This can't be!" he whispered. "Bill cannot be the demon that's threatening him!"

"And why not!" Mekhi asked.

"Because we destroyed him!" Ford yelled. "Bill is defeated!" "Defeated yes." Mekhi agreed. "But dead I am afraid not!" "What!" Ford couldn't believe her words.

"Bill still exists, he is very much alive." Mekhi informed him. "But how!" Ford cried. "We-"

"All lost memories can be restored." Mekhi interrupted him, "And as your brother's memories were restored so was Bill."

"No!" Ford felt the tears fall from his eyes. "It can't be!"

"There is no need for tears." Mekhi assured him. "I am not finished telling the prophecy." She whispered. "Would you like to hear the rest?"

Ford was not sure if he did, but what choice did he have? This was Dipper they were talking about! So he nodded gravely.

"Upon the day the mark is revealed, a resurfaced destiny shall bring the fall of a false god and the rise of what was once forgotten." Mekhi finished.

"How…" Ford whispered, his voice choking back tears. "How do we save him?"

The Prince of Darkness!" Mekhi rasped. "To consume or to bond, in the end he decided."

'To consume or bond?' Ford could feel himself shaking. "So not even you know what this demon will decide!"

"No, for the first time even I am unsure." Mekhi admitted. "But do not despair I sense a great amount of goodness inside Of the prince, he has it inside him to be good."

"But he is a demon!" Ford screamed. "They are all bad!"

"Not this one, Something Will happen to him." Mekhi assured him. "Dipper will change something inside of him, he will show him the mercy of humanity, a kind of mercy that no demon has ever been given. And one day the prince will be given a chance to return that kindness."

"And if he doesn't!" Ford asked.

"Then all is lost." Mekhi spoke gravely. "But my question to you is not can you protect your nephew!" She snapped. "His fate as much as you would like it to be, is not in your hands! What I am asking you is can you stand by your new brothers to ensure the safety of this realm!"

"Yes!" Ford vowed.

"Even if it means Killing your own flesh and blood in order to do it!" Mekhi screamed. "I…" Ford couldn't find the words to speak.

"If the prince consumes the Big Dipper all is lost! And the only way to save Dipper than is to kill the demon that has taken over him!" Mekhi warned him. "Can you do it?"

He knew she was asking the impossible, but he also knew that she was right!

If a demon took over Dipper than he would already be gone! And the only form of mercy he could show him than was to destroy the demon who had struck him down.

"Yes!" He vowed more firmly, forcing himself to his feet. "If it comes to that, than I vow I will be the one to deliver the deadly blow!"

Mekhi nodded her approval. "I understand that this was a difficult decision to make, but Dipper deserves Mercy. And if a demon does consume him, then if you truly love him you will let him go, and put him out of his misery."

"I understand." Ford whispered, as several more tears rained down his face. "I will do what must be done!"

"Then I leave you with my blessings." Mekhi told him. "You may join the flock!" Ford watched as the old hag disappeared before him.

The brothers, who still circled around him; did not speak for a long time.

Finally Michel spoke. "We are sorry that it was not the words you wanted to hear." Ford wiped the tears from his eyes. "I must go to my nephew."

"No!" Michel warned him.

"And why not." Ford demanded.

"Because the Oracle told us to come here! You are a brother now and you must obey her." One of the brothers spoke.

"But Dipper could be in danger!" Ford yelled.

"The Big Dipper will return to Gravity falls shortly, it is where his prophecy began so it is where it shall end." Michel assured him.

"But it could be too late than!" Ford argued.

"I am sorry, but you must have faith in him." Michel told him. "This is a fight Dipper must go alone!"

Ford clinched his fist, but he dare not disobey the Oracle, Ivan had told him great things about her,

she was a powerful being; and going against her words might very well be the thing that dooms Dipper. So he simply bowed his head. "I understand." He said.

"Come we must prepare for his arrival." Michel told him.

Ford nodded and followed the band of brother's in to the shadows, hoping to whoever was listening that somehow Dipper would stay safe in his absence.

Unfortunately for Ford however, if his wish was heard by some greater power, than it was chosen to be left unanswered.
