This chapter contains Blood, Violent Scenes, and Strong Profanity.

Note: Both Dipper and Mabel are 14 in this AU.

Dipper and Mabel excitedly showed their parents the treasure they had found with their new metal detector. "Look what we found, Mom and Dad!" Mabel exclaimed, holding up a small metal box.

Their parents, Lily and Henry, looked on with interest. "Wow, that's quite a find, kids," Lily said, examining the box. "You two are going to make a great detective team someday."

Dipper and Mabel beamed with pride. They loved going on adventures and solving mysteries together, and the thought of being professional detectives one day was thrilling.

As they continued to examine their treasure, Dipper's curiosity got the better of him. "I wonder if we can find anything else with the metal detector," he said, looking at Mabel.

Mabel nodded eagerly. "Yeah, let's try it out and see what we can find!"

The trio headed outside, excited to test out their new gadget. As they searched the surrounding area, they stumbled upon something strange. A swirling, shimmering portal had appeared out of nowhere, hovering in mid-air.

Dipper and Mabel's eyes widened in amazement as they approached the portal cautiously. They could feel a strange energy emanating from it, and they couldn't help but wonder where it would lead.

Suddenly, without warning, a figure emerged from the portal. It was a man in a suit, carrying a briefcase. He looked around, seemingly confused, before his eyes landed on Dipper and Mabel.

"Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?" he asked in a stern voice.

Dipper and Mabel exchanged a look. They had never seen anything like this before. "Um, you're in Gravity Falls," Dipper said, his voice shaking slightly.

The man in the suit raised an eyebrow. "Gravity Falls? I've never heard of it. Interesting." He glanced around again before turning back to Dipper and Mabel. "My name is Thomas Zane, and I'm looking for someone. Have either of you seen a young girl with purple hair and a small creature with horns?"

Dipper and Mabel shook their heads in unison, but Lily and Henry stepped forward, drawn by the commotion. "Is everything alright here?" Henry asked, eyeing Thomas Zane warily.

Thomas Zane turned to face the new arrivals. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I seem to have lost track of someone I was traveling with. I was hoping you could help me find her."

Lily and Henry exchanged a look before nodding. "We'll do what we can to help," Lily said kindly.

Dipper and Mabel watched in awe as the adults began discussing a plan of action. This was the beginning of a new adventure, and they couldn't wait to see where it would lead.

Family Dinner

As the Pines family finished their dinner with Thomas Zane, they continued their conversation about the mysteries and secrets of the world. Dipper and Mabel were fascinated by his stories and eagerly asked him questions.

"So, Mr. Zane, have you ever encountered any supernatural creatures?" Dipper asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Thomas chuckled, taking a sip of his drink. "Oh, you wouldn't believe the things I've seen in my time," he said, a wistful look in his eyes. "From ghosts to time loops to ancient artifacts with unimaginable power, the world is full of wonders and horrors beyond our imagination."

Mabel leaned in, her excitement palpable. "Do you think we could go on an adventure with you someday?"

Thomas smiled kindly at her. "Perhaps someday, my dear. But for now, I have to focus on my own journey. I'm still searching for a way back to my wife, you see."

Lily and Henry looked at each other with concern. They had heard Thomas's story before and knew how deeply he missed his wife, Barbara Jagger. They hoped he would find a way to reunite with her soon.

As they finished their meal, Thomas excused himself to retire for the night. The Pines family bid him goodnight and watched as he walked up the stairs to his guest room.

Dipper and Mabel were still buzzing with excitement from their conversation with Thomas. They retreated to their bedroom to continue their discussion.

"I can't believe all the crazy things Mr. Zane has seen," Mabel said, flopping onto her bed. "Do you think we'll ever have an adventure like that?"

Dipper looked thoughtful. "I don't know, Mabel. But I have a feeling that something big is about to happen. I've been researching strange occurrences around the world, and it seems like they're all connected somehow."

Mabel sat up, her eyes wide. "What kind of occurrences?"

Dipper pulled out his laptop and opened a folder with various news articles and reports. "There have been reports of strange weather patterns, disappearances, and sightings of unusual creatures. It's like different dimensions are starting to collide."

Mabel's eyes widened even more. "Different dimensions? Like alternate universes?"

Dipper nodded. "Exactly. And I have a feeling that it's only a matter of time before it affects us here in Gravity Falls."

As they continued their discussion, they had no idea just how right Dipper's intuition would prove to be.

After their discussion, they were getting ready to fall asleep. Dipper yawned and told his twin sister "Goodnight Mabel.", in which Mabel responded back with "Goodnight Dipper.". And so, both Dipper and Mabel fell asleep.

A few hours later, Dipper and Mabel were suddenly woken up by a bright light coming from outside their window. They sat up and looked around, feeling disoriented and confused. Mabel checked the clock on her bedside table and saw that it read "4:12 AM."

"What the heck is going on?" Mabel groaned, rubbing her eyes. Dipper was already getting out of bed and heading towards the window.

"I don't know," he replied, peering out the window. "But something weird is definitely happening."

The siblings quickly got dressed and searched for their parents, but they were nowhere to be found. As they walked through the dark house, they noticed their father's phone buzzing on the nightstand. Mabel picked it up and read the notifications aloud.

"Eight missed calls, and two messages to Grunkle Stan," Mabel said, furrowing her brow. "One of them says, 'I'm on my way,' and the other one says, 'Where the hell are you? Call me!'"

Dipper's expression turned serious. "We need to find out what's going on. Let's check the living room."

As they entered the living room, they noticed that the TV was on and tuned into a news report. The reporter was standing in front of a large, glowing beam of light.

"Good morning, Gravity Falls," the reporter said. "We have a breaking news story. A strange beam of light has appeared in the forest outside of town. Officials are urging all residents to stay inside and avoid going near the beam. We'll bring you more updates as we get them."

Dipper and Mabel exchanged a worried look. "What should we do?" Mabel asked.

"We have to go check it out," Dipper said determinedly. "But first, let's try to call Mom and Dad and see if they're okay."

They tried calling Lily and Henry, but there was no answer. The siblings knew they had to act fast. They grabbed their backpacks and headed out the door, determined to investigate the mysterious beam of light.

As Dipper and Mabel were getting ready to leave the house, they heard their parents come in from the back door with Thomas Zane, who was carrying an injured teenage girl. The girl had three eyes, magenta hair, and pointy ears, and they had never seen anyone like her before. Her injury was on her left side of her belly with blood coming out, as well as broken right ankle. Thomas was giving her medical attention as Lily and Henry rushed to the twins' side.

"There you guys are." Dipper told them.

"Kids, are you okay?" asked Henry with concern.

Mabel quickly replied, "Yeah, we're fine. But who's she and why does she look like that?"

Lily was grabbing some supplies and said, "Her name is Boscha. We don't know why she looks like that, we just found her injured."

As Thomas continued to tend to Boscha's injuries, she suddenly spoke up. "It's The Collector. He must have done something to make this happen."

Dipper's ears perked up at the mention of The Collector. "Wait, The Collector?"

Mabel turned to her brother with a worried expression. "What's going on, Dipper?"

Dipper explained, "Remember The Collector Mabel? He tried to use Bill Cipher to cause Weirdmageddon and merge all worlds together. But we stopped him." Mabel responded with "Oh yeah.".

Lily chimed in, "Well, it seems like he's up to something again. We need to be careful."

As they were discussing the situation, they suddenly heard someone ramming on the glass door. "Shit!" exclaimed Henry. The person was infected by a supernatural resonance. They are undergone physical deformation, appearing bald, emaciated, and with heavily elongated limbs, wearing ragged remains of their former attire with their skin glowing red.

Dipper quickly turned to his parents. "Mom, Dad, what's happening? Who's trying to get in?"

Lily motioned for them to come closer. "Don't worry, kids. Just stay back there."

The person outside continued to pound on the door, and Thomas grabbed his gun. "Stop!" he yelled. "Stay back! I'm warning you!"

But the person didn't listen and broke through the glass. Thomas had no choice but to shoot them. Blood was splattered on the wall and floor. Everyone was shaken up by the sudden violence.

Mabel gasped, "What was that?"

Thomas took a deep breath before responding, "Listen to me. What you saw was the Hiss."

Dipper was confused. "The Hiss? What's that?"

Thomas explained, "It's a force that's taking over this town. There's something bad going on, and we have to get out of here. Does everyone understand?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they quickly left the house with Lily and Henry leading Dipper and Mabel, and Thomas carrying Boscha. The reality of the situation was sinking in, and they had no idea what kind of dangers awaited them outside.

As soon as everyone went outside, they were greeted by Stan and Ford, who had their van parked outside the house. Henry rushed towards them, exclaiming, "There you are! What took you so long?!"

Stan apologized, "I'm sorry. We got here as fast as we could. Hey, kids." Dipper and Mabel said their greetings in unison, with Dipper saying "Hi Grunkle Stan" and Mabel following with "Hi Grunkle Ford."

Stan noticed the newcomer and asked, "Who's your new friend?" Thomas introduced himself, saying "I'm Thomas Zane." Ford, who was looking at Boscha, inquired, "And who's this teenager?"

Boscha introduced herself, "I'm Boscha," and Ford asked her, "Why do you look like that? Where are you from?"

Boscha hesitated before replying, "I'll explain later. Right now, we need to leave."

Stan gestured towards the van, "Alright, let's pile in, everyone. We can discuss everything on the way."

As everyone boarded the van, Mabel made sure to bring Waddles along with her, holding him tight on her lap. Henry and Stan sat in the front row, with Thomas, Lily, and Ford in the middle row. Dipper, Mabel, and Boscha sat in the rear row, with Dipper asking, "So, what happened to you guys? We were starting to get worried."

Ford sighed, "It's a long story, Dipper. We'll explain everything when we get there. For now, let's focus on getting to safety."

The van starts moving, with Stan driving towards their destination. The atmosphere inside the van was tense, with everyone wondering what the next step would be.

As they drove along, Stan turned on the radio and listened to the news. Suddenly, they saw a house on fire. Thomas reacted quickly, saying, "Oh no, someone's house is on fire. I hope everyone made it out alive."

As they continued driving, they heard sirens from a police car, an ambulance, and a fire truck. Soon enough, they saw that there was a traffic jam. Henry exclaimed, "Damn it! Looks like everyone else had the same idea."

Stan suggested, "Well, maybe we can backtrack. I'm sure we can-" before he was cut off by a man who got out of his car and said, "Hey, what the fuck, man? Let's go!"

Suddenly, the man was attacked by a Griffin, a mythical creature known as a half-eagle, half-lion. Lily exclaimed, "Holy shit! Turn us around!" Boscha said, "Oh my Titan!"

Henry called out to Stan, "Stan, Stan!" Stan responded with, "Oh my god!" and quickly backed up the car to drive in the other direction.

Thomas was confused and asked, "What the fuck just happened? What the fuck just happened?! Did you see that?" Ford replied, "Yeah, I saw it."

The van drove into the street, but they were suddenly blocked by a large group of people with pointy ears. Lily let out a panicked "No, no, no, no, no..." while everyone in the van looked around in confusion. Dipper spoke up, "Who are they, and what are they running from?", Boscha responded with "They're witches from the Boiling Isles like me.".

Henry urged Stan to find a way out, "Get us out of here!" Stan tried his best to drive through the crowd, but it was impossible. The people were running around in a frenzy, seemingly scared of something. Suddenly, they saw the group of people fighting off a group of strange creatures with magical powers.

Ford urged Stan, "We can't stop here, Stanley." Stan replied, "I can't freaking drive through 'em, Ford!" Ford persisted, "Then back up then!" Stan replied, "They're behind me too!"

The situation was becoming more intense by the second. Suddenly, Thomas shouted, "There. There! There!" The group looked in the direction he was pointing and saw an opening in the crowd. Stan quickly drove towards the gap, hoping to make it through.

However, just as they were about to make it through, Boscha shouted, "Look out!" and they were hit by another vehicle. The van began to tip over, and everyone inside was thrown around violently. Screams and shouts filled the air as the van came to a halt on its side.

As everyone tried to catch their breath and assess the situation, Boscha muttered, "This day just keeps getting better and better."

Everyone panicked and tried to escape. Thomas quickly got out of the van and helped everyone else get out safely. "Is everyone okay?" he asked, looking around at the group. They all nodded in response, with Stan and Ford assuring him, "We're fine."

"What do we do now?" Dipper asked nervously, his eyes darting around at the chaos surrounding them.

Thomas quickly assessed the situation. "We're gonna need to run," he said, gesturing towards the fighting and destruction happening around them.

As they ran through the streets, they saw witches fighting against the Hiss. They also saw Strikers, who were equipped with specially-designed suits allowing them to manipulate time, and Juggernauts, heavily armored enemies with powerful firearms. The stonesleeper rammed into a gas station, causing it to explode in a fiery burst.

"Keep running!" Thomas yelled, motioning for everyone to follow him.

Dipper and Mabel saw some buildings on fire and were horrified that there was people from those buildings caught on fire. Dipper said "Oh my god! That's horrible!", and Mabel responded with "Those people are on fire!" in a horrified state. Henry looked at them and said "Don't look kids.".

As they ran, they saw witches helping humans fight against the Juggernauts, and even some Strikers helping witches fight against the Hiss. Thomas used his gun to shoot every Hiss he saw.

"We have to keep moving!" Ford shouted, as he carried Boscha on his back.

Mabel was carrying Waddles and struggling to keep up. "I can't go any faster!" she panted, her legs aching.

"We'll help you," Lily said, coming up alongside her and taking Waddles from her arms. "You just keep moving."

As they neared their destination, Thomas shouted, "We're almost there! Just a little further!"

They ran through a final stretch, dodging debris and fighting off Hiss as they went. Finally, they reached a safe zone, where other survivors had gathered.

As they caught their breath, Stan turned to Thomas. "What the hell is going on here?" he demanded.

Thomas looked around, his expression grim. "I don't know," he admitted. "But I think we're going to need all the help we can get."

As the group reaches the safe zone, they hear a loud helicopter approaching. They watch in awe as ropes drop down from the helicopter and people start sliding down. The group sees three people stepping out of the helicopter and introducing themselves. "I'm Alan Wake," says the first man. "I'm Jack Joyce," adds the second man. "And I'm Jesse Faden. We're glad we found you," says the third woman.

Thomas looks at them incredulously. "Alan, Jack, Jesse? What are you guys doing here?" he asks.

Alan smiles wryly. "We're just in the neighborhood, Thomas. Heard you might need a little backup," he replies.

Dipper and Mabel look at each other in shock. "Wait, you guys know each other?" Mabel asks.

Thomas nods. "Yeah, long story. Let's just say we've had some wild adventures in our own respective universes," he explains.

Lily looks up at the helicopter, concerned. "Is that helicopter going to take us out of here?" she asks.

Jesse nods. "Yes, it's one of our FBC helicopters. We're here to get you all to safety," she reassures them.

As the group boards the helicopter, they see the FBC medics attending to Boscha's injuries, giving her a blood bag, and other methods to recover her. "Is she going to be okay?" Dipper asks, worried.

The medic nods. "Yes, she'll be fine. Just a few bumps and bruises," she replies.

The helicopter takes off and the group looks down at the chaos below. "What's happening down there?" Mabel asks.

Jesse explains. "It's a convergence of different realities, all colliding into one another. We're still trying to figure out what's causing it and how to stop it," she says.

Henry looks around the helicopter, still trying to process what's happening. "I can't believe this is real," he murmurs.

Thomas pats him on the back. "I know, Henry. It's a lot to take in. But we'll get through this together," he says reassuringly.

As the helicopter flies off into the distance, the group braces themselves for whatever comes next, knowing that they have each other and their new allies to rely on.
