GRIM FALLS ch.2
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
THUMP! Grim smiles as he lands not far away from where dipper is putting up
fliers and is now investigating a strange tree...
Grim can't help but give out a large loud raspberry at the boy, knowing full
well that he was invisible to mortal perception. He then turns around and
begins narrating to the unseen audience. "And here we are. Dipper is mere
seconds away from discovering the key to his destiny...BAH!" Shouted Grim
suddenly. "Am I the only one here who finds this setup too neat and tidy?! I
mean come on! The author ranted and raved about mysterious forces coming
after him...and his response is to hide his most cherished possession with a
means so simple a 12 year old was able to crack it!?" Grim hitched up his
britches and turned to glare at the boy. "Well, sorry sunny Jim. But that ain't
gonna fly! If you want that book so badly your gonna have to earn it the same
way your average Joe gets anything that matters in life...Through sweat,
blood, and tears!" Grim cackled as he sent his corruptive energy forward...
…...
Dipper pines stared for a second at the hollow stump he'd just opened. And
saw the weird book inside. Curious, he reached inside to grab it- Only for the
compartment to slam shut and cut off his hand! GAAAAHHHHH! screamed
dipper as he writhed on the ground as he tried to stop the blood gushing from
his decapitated limb. And that's when mabel showed up. "Hey dipper, what are
yo-" OH MY GLOB! DIPPER! Screamed mabel as she got splashed with blood.
Later...
Mabel was able to get over her shock and call an ambulance that rushed to the
scene. They were able to retrieve the hand. And thanks to grim's energy
clouding their minds, the paramedics were led to believe the book belonged to
dipper and gave it to him latter. Knowing that his status both as a cartoon and
the main character would ensure he was right as rain within the hour. Grim made his way to the next scene...
…...
Grim climbs his way into the pines twins room. Just as dipper had failed to
convince mable of norman being a zombie...
Grim watched in disgust as mable yelled at dipper..."Why that ungrateful
wench! He's just trying to protect your virtue, you moron!" Grim then gives a
disappointed look at dipper. "And as for you! Your sister pokes and yells at you
and your ball's drop off?...Well, let's see if we can't slap a spine on you!"
Grim smiled as he sent his power forward; corrupting the very essence of dippers being...
…...
-"And I'm going to be adorable!" Shouted mable as she poked at dipper- Only
for dipper to suddenly grab her arm and twist it around. Ow! Shouted mable.
"dipper what are you-" But he was already punching her! Mabel screamed as
she tried to run- But that only seemed to enrage dipper more! He slammed her
head into a mirror. Mable cried as the glass shard messed up her face. Then
dipper smashed her head through the toilet seat. Mable didn't have time to
acknowledge the porcelain shards also lodged in her face as dipper tried to
drown her! Adrenaline kicking in mable lands a couple kicks, one of which hits
his balls. While he was distracted, mable quickly runs. But dipper quickly
recovers and throws a chair at her. Which causes her to tumble down the
stairs. Mable sobs as dipper approached with a lighter and hairspray...
"Dipper...please"...begged mable. But dipper was having none of it. He used
the items he had to set mable ablaze! Mable screamed in agony as she ran
through the door and kept running through the woods. Satisfied, Grim calls
back his corruption out of dipper. And skips his merry way onto the next
scene. Meanwhile dipper, now clear-headed. Is horrified at what's happened.
Terrified, ashamed, questioning his own sanity, and mabel's blood still fresh
on his hands. He runs to his room to weep in a troubled fetal position...and
later on apparently learns norman's secret...
…...
Grim walks in just as the gnomes are about to marry mable. Grim groans in
disgust. "Seriously? A wedding? Come on guys! Your blood thirsty creatures!
Why the need for civilized ceremony? Your feral- She's a warm blooded
female- Stop gaping and just do what comes natural!" Said Grim as he sent his power forth...
…...
Mable couldn't quite put his finger on it...but somehow the gnomes seemed
even more sinister than they did a moment ago...
Suddenly, Jeff spoke up. "You know what? Forget the wedding!" Said jeff as he
cast aside the ring. "I'm horny now! Let's just skip to the honeymoon!" The
gnomes shrieked their approval as they rushed forward to get a piece of mable.
"Me want boobies!" Screamed a gnome as he and his brethren bean to rip off her clothes...
…...
Grim smiled with satisfaction as the scene unfolded before him...But frowned
as he sensed dipper fast approaching. Grim rubbed his head with frustration.
"Oh, goodie a cliched last minute rescue." Said the annoyed Grim sarcastically.
Grim quickly composed. "Well, if there's going to be a rescue it's going to be on
my terms!" Shouted grim as he summoned his power. He smiled as dipper lost
control of the golf cart and smashed a dozen gnomes into a bunch of
bloody chunks. Her fight-or flight reflexes kicking in, mable jumped into the
cart and put the pedal to the medal! They tore out of the clearing with the
gnomes hot on their heels!...with Grim not far behind...
…...
Dipper was frantically trying to stay one step ahead of the giant mass of
gnomes. "okay, it's not going to be easy but if we just stay the course"- And
then the rock slide hit. "Oh, come on!" Shouted dipper as they were sent
tumbling off the cliff right in the direction of the mystery shack...
…...
Grim observed his rock slide do it's work. And his thoughts drifted to how
originally they crashed onto the mystery shacks lawn...and just dusted
themselves off like it was nothing! It got his dander up! "What, was reality
having a coffee break? Well, breaks over you lazy git! Time to bring the pain!"
Shouted Grim as his power forced the laws of physics(and basic human anatomy) to work properly for once!
…...
Pain...That's all dipper felt. He and mable couldn't even move...there was so
much blood...and then the gnomes came...and the pain got worse...
…...
Grim breathed deeply the familiar aroma of smoke and blood...watching
the battered bodies of these two twins get more battered by enraged little
men...it warmed the heart(and other parts)...Sadly, their were rules that
even he must follow...not many mind you...but enough to make sure he
couldn't completely derail the story...or kill the main characters...not yet
anyway...Grim let out a sad sigh as he turned his back on the wonderous
carnage and went to set about how they were to be rescued...after a little more blood was spilled of course...
…...
Grim peeked into the shack and watched as grunkle stan distracted himself
with some form of weird swirling disk. Grim rolled his eye's and sent an energy
spike to make the stupid thing blow up. He laughed as he watched the old man
cry out in pain and stumble around blindly. Occasionaly using his power to
make sure he stumbled near the window...
…...
Seeing his niece and nephew in trouble. Stan lept into action. He quickly
brandished a gun. Then rallied soos and wendy and gave them guns too. Quickly they rushed outside...
…...
At first, Grim filled the gnomes with his energy to prolong the fight...but it
quickly proved useless. The moronic blighters didn't have an ounce of sense
among them...the fight quickly became one-sided...Grim sighed..."well, I
suppose all good things have to come to an end eventually." With that he
summoned his energy back...without it the gnomes grew frightened and
retreated. Grim watched as they comforted and patched up the twins. And
Grim watched in disbelief as mable, after explaining it was her fault still
wasn't punished! "Well, we'll just see about that!" Shouted grim as he sent his energy forth!
…...
Dipper didn't know why, but his instincts were screaming at him to be ready
for anything. Which was good, because when a few seconds later grunkle stan
started screaming and hitting mable. While everyone else was frozen with
shock, dipper was ready for action! "Guys help me restrain him!" Shouted
dipper as he tried to wrestle Stan away from mable. Hearing this, everyone
else sprang into action and restrained him. Suddenly, Stan was apparently
back to normal. "Wha- did I just? Oh, my glob...mable I'm so sorry...I-I don't
know what came over me!" -"But maybe I do". Said dipper suddenly. He then
explained to everyone how he went through something similar earlier, and how
he felt the two events might be connected...
…...
Grim couldn't believe his eye's! Standing before him was a hero...being
clever!? For the first time in centuries, Grim was speechless! For so long he'd
had to deal with moronic idiots that relied on luck and cliched plot devices
rather than actual skill and cunning. And yet here was a boy who was already
connecting the dots...and the first story wasn't even done yet!...Grim just
stood there for a few moments, a neutral expression of deep thought on his
face...And then he let out a hearty laugh!
"Well, this is gonna be more interesting then I thought!" Cackled Grim with
ever growing anticipation. He then watched as the group bundled up the
bloodied mable and carried her inside to her room. Grim looked at this scene
for a moment before commenting: "Oh, what the hell! It really was an
interesting, defining character moment." Said Grim as he sent his power forth one last time...
…...
Suddenly filled with an impulse she couldn't ignore. Mable reached out from
the bundle, snatched a certain item off a nearby shelf, and cuddled with it.
"G-grappling hook", mumbled Mable as she drifted off to sleep...
…...
With his good deed for the century done, Grim then turned to the unseen
audience to narrate one last time. "The moral: Kid's, don't talk to
strangers...Unless of course your parents are monstrous brutes...In
which case except whatever a stranger offers and run! Hey, A 50/50 shot at a better life is better than nothing!"
May all our stories end so well...until next time...
…...
