AN: All done with one week of pre-college program! This is most likely the only chapter I will post before the next program I go to. Without further adieu, here's chapter #4 (Also I realized how bad the time lapse was from the two prior chapters. I'm just going to go ahead and assume, hypothetically, that Crazy Dave and Dr. Zomboss' (and the rest of the zombies) starting location was somewhere near or close to Gravity Falls, but not in it, at the start of this fanfic.). Hope you guys enjoy, and please review!
If you looked at Dr. Zomboss' creation, you would almost be baffled by the superfluous of detail and design. Although it does not technically have a name yet, the evil scientist has a split decision of calling it the "Zombot Oregon Overload" or the "Zombot Tallow-Tron." The machine, being a massive wagon pulled by a mechanical, equally large ox, indicated that the contraption was built, or based on, the Oregon Trail during pioneer times.
Dr. Zomboss is the one controlling the machine, charging towards the pines and Crazy Dave, trampling trees and banging the ground as it turned part of the forest into a wasteland. After almost thirty seconds, Dr. Zomboss reaches the crew of baffled humans, only to stop about twenty meters away.
"So, we finally formerly meet, Crazy Dave." Dr. Zomboss begins, shaking with insanity while doing so. After hearing Dave reply in an untranslatable way, Dr. Zomboss turns his attention to the Pines family. "And what do we have here? More victims for my zombie pals to feed..."
"Sup hambones!" a voice interrupts Dr. Zomboss. It belongs to Soos Ramirez, the Mystery Shack's handyman, and he approaches the gathering. Despite not being the brightest bulb in some cases, Soos is a tech guru at heart. Some might call Soos a big boned man-child, but deep inside, he is one of most kind and caring people living in Gravity Falls. He sports a green t-shirt with a black question mark on the front, along with tan shorts, socks, a brown cap, and brown shoes.
Soos has a hobby of going into wacky places. For example, earlier in the summer, Soos attempted to "become a part" of a videogame in an arcade, literally. His method was to enter the mainframe, only to get stuck in the machine for a few hours. There was also a time where he also attempted to fit in a shoebox when he was about four years old, because he thought his name was "Shoes" (The shoe example I made up, did not happen in the show. Just want to add in another example). So when Soos sees the giant contraption built by Dr. Zomboss, he politely asks the scientist if he could explore the wagon more. Something about seeing the wagon sparked a fire in Soos Due to him not reading the warning letter, nor any indication that Dr. Zomboss was a zombie, he immediately enters the wagon after receiving permission from the evil scientist, despite the warnings from the Pines twins. After a few minutes of "exploring," some zombies began seeping out of the wagons, shuffling towards the Pines and Dave.
Soon after, Soos exits the wagon, now wearing an additional red tie to his previous outfit, while also having a slightly grayer skin color. He begins to moan, stumble towards the Pines and Crazy Dave, and manage to speak a barely audible word, "Brains…". Seconds later, a big "wave" of zombies slowly advance, as well. Dr. Zomboss maniacally laughs as he sees the gang start to run away.
"It won't be too long," Zomboss prophosizes.
AN: I'm sorry if it seems like the chapters in this fanfic are short (they seem to be for me, at least). However, I don't want to get too carried away and procrastinate any longer when writing larger chapters. I don't know if you guys are good with the general size of the chapters, or if you guys want them to be extended in the future. If you could please review your opinion on the topic, that would be appreciated! Besides that, I have done some thinking about how I want the events of the story to play out. Needless to say, I have a few new ideas… maybe create some of my own plants…
