GRIM FALLS ch.4
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
Grim landed in the pines kitchen, right as they were reminiscing about their
last failed "family activity day". Grim took a peek into the thought bubble that
was invisible to everyone save himself. "counterfeit money? Forced child
labor? Police raids? Forget the beast! We should just have an episode about
this!" Grim then smirked mischievously. "In fact"... Grim trailed off as he
jumped into the thought bubble. The pines meanwhile still sat at the table,
oblivious to how their personal history was being re-written by a madman...
…...
Grim plopped backwards through time and landed right when the police were
announcing themselves. Grim made a show of mock-horror. "Oh, no! It's the
man! And we have all this incriminating evidence lying about!" Grim chuckled.
"Well, don't ya'll worry a thing. Cause uncle Grim's about to make it all worse"...
…...
Grunkle Stan didn't know what was going on. One second he was preparing his
"exit strategy"...Then suddenly the whole building was going up in flames!
Fortunately him and the kids were able to get out just as the warehouse blew
up...right into the waiting hands of the police. "FREEZE!" shouted a
policeman as he and his buddies pointed their guns at him. Stan and the kids
quickly held up their hands in surrender. Stan quickly whispered to the kids,
"just let me do the talking." He then turned to the cops. "Good evening-
…...
-Officers." But then stan froze. For in front of him were now a bunch of bullet
ridden police corpses. Wha?- gaped a shocked Stan. "Uh, Grunkle Stan?"
Asked the quivering mabel. And only then did Stan become fully aware of the
situation. He and the kids were covered in blood and holding Tommy-guns
that were still smoking from use. Dipper was quivering. "Wha- Did we
just?...How?Why?" Before Grunkle stan could say anything...a swat truck fell on top of them and exploded...
…...
The entire pines family shuddered at those horrific memories. Mabel turned to
give Grunkle Stan a queasy look. "Uh, Grunkle Stan? No offense, but your
going to have to forcefully drag me out of the house for any more "family
activities." Grunkle Stan nodded. "Yeah...I'm rethinking this too...Seriously,
what was I thinking?" Dipper also nodded his consent. "Yeah that night was
really messed up-" And then he realized something. "Wait a minute"...Stated a
perplexed dipper. "We killed a bunch of policemen...why aren't we in jail?
-Actually, forget that...How are we alive? We got crushed by a swat car...that
then exploded." And that's when the gears really began to move in dippers
head. Wait- Those policemen...what happened to them is a lot like what happened to-
…...
-me and grunkle-. And then dipper froze- As he was now in the car with stan
driving like...well, Stan. "Huh, you say something dipper?" Asked a distracted
Stan. Dipper looked around confused. "Wait, weren't we just in- Were here!
Shouted grunkle Stan as they crashed into the beach. Everyone quickly got out
of the car. Dipper turned to grunkle Stan as he unpacked. "Uh...grunkle Stan? I
thought we agreed that we weren't going to do this?" Asked a confused dipper.
"Wha?"- asked an absentminded Stan. "Oh, right. Yeah we did, we did agree."
Dipper looked at him perplexed. "Then why are we here?" Stan smiled as he
began to explain. "Well, you see dipper after we agreed not to come here."
We...then a confused expression came over Stan's face. "Wait, why did we
come here again?" Dipper looked at him in disbelief. Your asking me?! Your
the one who brought us here! Stan suddenly looked startled. "Yeah...I
did...didn't I?" asked an unsure Stan. Dipper desperately tried to keep down
the panic he was feeling. "Right, I think we should just go"-
DANGER! DANGER! Shouted old man Mcgucket as he ran down the beach.
I SEEN IT! I SEEN THE GOBBL- And then he was struck by lightning! Beach
patrons screamed at this- Only to look confused as he just got back up again,
cleared his throat, and tried again. LIKE I WAS SAYING! I'VE SEEN THE
GOBBL-BOOM! Cracked the lightning that struck him down. He then got up and tried again...
I SEEN THE GOBBL-BOOM!
I SEEN THE GOBBL-BOOM!
I SEEN THE GOBBL-BOOM!
…...
This went on for a couple minutes before patrons began to get over the shock
of the spectacle. And began to talk amongst themselves. "What's he trying to
say?" Asked one guy. Another turned to him and answered. "Unless I missed
my guess, I believe he's talking about the mythical gobbl-BOOM!" "Henry!"
Screamed the now widowed woman as she looked at the blood splatter that was
once her husband. Another patron turned to whisper to another. "What he say?
The gobbl-BOOM!" The other patron screamed as he'd been close enough to
the doomed patron to have his arm reduced to cinders. A 5 year-old girl tugged
on her mothers pants. "Mommy, What's a gobbl-BOOM!" Needless to say, the
entire beach was now in a panic. Sadly, they weren't the brightest patrons...so
a dozen or so of them were being ripped apart by lightning every minute.
"What is going on here!?" shouted Ranger Mcgucket as he ran outside. He saw
his father and grew irritated. "DAD! What did I tell you about scaring my
customers with your mad talk about the gobbl-BOOM!" JUNIOR! Screamed
the horrified Mcgucket as he ran to the unconscious form of his estranged son.
WAKE UP SON! WAKE UP! Screamed Mcgucket as he shook his son. Suddenly
he was filled with memories and impulses that he knew weren't his own.
Unable to resist, Mcgucket reached into his pocket and pulled out a bunch of
papers that he knew hadn't been there a moment ago. "Look son! I got those
WMD plans you asked for! Now please wake up!" Begged the reluctant
Mcgucket, his mouth and words now dancing to a different tune. Nearby,
Sheriff Blubs looked upon this scene. And suddenly found himself filled with
curiosity, intelligence...and cunning. Unknowingly obeying a will that was not
his own. Sheriff Blubs walked over to Mcguket. "Hey, buddy. You seem worse
for the wear. Why don't you give me that paper and I'll give it to him when he
wakes up." Lied the sheriff. Mcgucket didn't want to. But his body refused to
obey him. So he gave Blubs the papers, jumped into the ocean, and swam back to his secret lab...
…...
Deep in the back of his head dipper couldn't help but think: Why is everyone
else being killed by the lightning except the Mcguckets?
He put aside those those thoughts however when he and Stan finally located
Mable in the chaos. They quickly grabbed her. They quickly ducked and
weaved through the raining bits of entrails and blood. Dipper smiled as he saw
the car. "Good, now we can get out of-
…...
-here...dipper trailed off as his surroundings had apparently changed yet
again...Now he, mabel...and soos!? Were now on a boat in the middle of the
lake. "Wha-What just happened!?" Shouted dipper. "What are we doing here!?"
Mabel gives dipper a confused look. "What do you mean dipper? Were out here
to win the prize money by taking a picture of the go"- Dipper quickly sprung to
action and covered mabels mouth before she could finish the word. "No, mabel
were not! We were on the beach a couple seconds ago; just about to leave for
home! I know we were!" Mabel suddenly got confused look on her face. "T-
that's true...we were"...Dipper pressed on. "Okay, then how did we get here?"
Mable began to rock back and forth nervously. "I-I don't remember!" shouted
Mabel starting to freak out. Soos began to freak out too as he listened to their
conversation. "Dudes...I don't remember how I got here either!...or how you
got on my boat...Am I losing it!?" Dipper shook his head as he took the wheel
from soos and steered it back to the beach. "If you are, then were all losing it
too." Said dipper right as the gobblewonker rose from the sea and began to chase them...
…...
For once dipper was grateful for this strange time lapse. As instead of on the
boat they were suddenly all rushing into the car. Stan put the pedal to the
metal and tore out of there. Dipper watched in horror as the gobblewonker
continued the chase on land. What few remaining patrons were left; were
killed by either being crushed or struck by lightning(but mostly the second
one...yes their all idiots aren't they?) Years of ditching the cops came in
handy as Stan dogged and weaved through out the town...Unfortunately,
while the cops had been restricted by streets and turns...the gobblewonker
simply plowed through everything. Leaving crushed buildings and crumpled
citizens in it's wake. Getting an idea, dipper took the wheel and drove straight
under some high tension power lines. The beast predictably got tangled in it
and got wracked with electricity. Dipper didn't stop to admire his handiwork,
he just kept right on driving...even when the beast blew up. Mable watched as
the metallic pieces rained down. "Wha- wait I think that thing was a rob"- And
that's when Old man Mcgucket fell from the sky and slammed into their
windshield. Dipper swerved off the road to check to see if he's alright. Sure
enough, Mcgucket popped back up and began explaining everything. How he
built the fake beast, but more importantly how for the last couple of hours he'd
been controlled by a strange, malevolent force. While dipper questioned
Mcgucket more, Stan listened on the radio for any news...
This just in, police have arrested the mad man responsible for this whole mess!
TURN IT UP! Shouted dipper quickly.
Thanks to evidence handed to Sherif Blubs by his own father. Ranger Mcgucket has been arrested for manipulating his senile but brilliant father to build WMD's to sell to our nations enemies.
WHAT! Shouted everyone present.
Also, these WMD's and of course Ranger Mcgucket is being blamed for all the death and fatalities that have occurred today.
NO! NOT MY SON! Wept Mcgucket. "He's the only good thing I have left in my
life!" He continued to weep. "This is wrong! Those papers I gave to blubs were
wrong! The memories I have of Junior doing those awful things are wrong! My
actions today were wrong! Everything is wrong! You got to believe me!"
Dipper put a hand on Mcguckets shoulder. "We Believe you...and come hell or high water were going to help you!"...
…...
Grim looked upon this scene with interest. "Huh, so that's what long-term
exposure to my power will do to a main character that actually has
brains...interesting." Said Grim intrigued. Putting that thought aside he
turned to audience. "So remember kids, respect your elders...Unless their
crazed loons, in which case. Best just smother them with your pillow and put
them out of your misery...Hey if you don't like it, don't ask!"
May all our stories end so well...Until next time...
