I am so sorry but this is going to be a long chapter.
Chapter 3: Historical Crash Course.
It was morning in the small town of gravity falls, for most it meant time for work, for others it was a chance to get some morning workout, but if you're like the mystery twins and you were on vacation, then you take advantage of everything the day had to offer. The first one up of course was Mabel the young girl was always excited to start the day. On the other hand Dipper tried as hard as he could to stay in bed all day and still sleep some more. Besides with the lack of mysteries Dipper started to remember how boring staying here would be. Another hour later Dipper finally got up, and went downstairs. Waiting for him in the table was his uncle, and sister. "Morning kid," said Stan.
"Hey guys so what's for breakfast?" Dipper finally sat down ready to digest everything in front of him. Finally placing a few burgers in his mouth, Mable started to look at him. "Can I help you?"
"The question is how can I help you?"
"What?"
"Don't tell me you forgot."
"What are you talking about?"
"Today your little rondevu with Pacifica."
Both Stan and Dipper started to choke on their food, as Mable calmly started to sip her tea. "My hearing must be off but did I just heard you say Dipper is going to meet with the queen of brats herself?" Said Stan.
"Don't get the wrong idea she promised me something that I want if I just help her out," said Dipper.
"I was friends with the northwest once, it was years ago," revealed Stan. "Yeah I started doing house work for them, move a few boxes bribe some people the normal rich people stuff. I even got to see the little monster when she was little, cute thing spoiled beyond all believe though."
"Come on she's not that bad, anyway what happen why did you stop working for them?"
"Well you see I wanted to steal something from right under their noses I had it all planned out, but let's just say what I wanted wasn't for sell, and well it wasn't right for me to take."
"Well what was it?"
"Oh nothing special just something that I thought I could Finish," said Stan as he took another sip of his drink.
"Really Grunkle another secret..."
"Not a secret a mystery I know how you two love those right," said Stan with a cheesy smile.
"Well I guess I should head over to her house," said Dipper picking up a bag full of books covering different topics. "I got some book from my old school year, something here should help her."
"Wait!" Yelled Mabel running toward him. "You can't go dress like that."
"What is it now Mabel...?"
"Look you are going to casa Northwest you need to at least look presentable, beside from what you told me about last time you were there, it sounds like you aren't the most welcome guest."
"Okay find than how would you dress?"
"One second," said Mable pulling out her phone. "Grenda, Candy is time to dress up!"
After making the call Mable's bff arrive each holding their own bag of clothes. The group quickly went back upstairs in order to evaluate dipper. After placing him in front of the mirror the girls acted as judges for dipper. "Okay so first thing is you need to take advantage of you upper body, so a nice tight shirt can really bring out some muscle," said Grenda putting a shirt on Dipper.
"Next you need to look smart so a nice button shirt should do the trick," said Candy giving him a button short.
"But since this is a casual thing here is a nice pair of jeans," said Mable. "And with that we are done, what do think?"
"I look so..." trying to hide the urge to yell dipper turned his attention to the girls the look on their faces force dipper to reconsider everything he was about to say."It great good job girls."
"Great now go study her brains out," giggled Mable. Dipper left the room by giving Mable and awkward sibling hug, he then followed by hugging Candy, and then Grenda hopping that she wasn't going to break his spine. The young boy then made the long trip to the Northwest Manor. The trip to her house wasn't that bad to be honest the only real issue was the uphill, what made it even worst were the books he carried all the way. Again pacifica wasn't really clear what they were going to study, so he just took a little bit of everything. Finally he was face to face with the gate. Last year Dipper had a glance of just how rich pacifica was but as he found himself staring down this massive wall he knew that on the other side there was a whole new world that he didn't understand. The world of fancy napkins, and snotty people. A world he wants nothing to do with. On the other hand if Pacifica thought him anything is that people can change if giving the chance. Looking around he finally spotted the doorbell, dipper approached it quickly ready to ring it. Before he could touch the bell and voice pop up behind him.
"Mister Dipper?"
"Ahh," yelled Dipper turning around looking at the butler.
"Lady Northwest had me wait here all morning for you to arrive, now please follow me to where you'll be meeting the young lady," said the butler walking to the other side of the gate. Dipper took one good look at the guy and realized that he might have made a huge mistake agreeing to help pacifica. The butler had dirt all over him, did she really ask him to wait all morning… how did he even go to the bathroom? The side of the gate that they were on was mostly covered by trees, he was able to see a small ledge. On the bottom of the ledge he saw what looked like a small cemetery, it was at that moment that Dipper remembered the bloody history of the northwest.
"Here we are," said the Butler stopping right in front of a small hole on the wall. "This should lead you to the garden, Ms. Pacifica will wait for you there, she also told me to warn you about the peacocks."
"Right thanks" said Dipper before he went on his knees to go through the whole. "Well here we are I guess," Dipper started to crawl through the hole on the wall. After a few seconds of clawing Dipper saw the light on the other end. Once on the other side Dipper head pop out the hole. Bushes were coving his view which meant that the hole was in disguise probably so no one accidently sees it. Once he was completely out of the hole Dipper started to gather his things and dust himself off before he notice that he was surrounded by a group of unfriendly Peacocks. "Oh boy… Nice birds I don't want any trouble." The birds slowly started to approach Dipper. Feeling like he was about to get peck to death Dipper truly started to regret agreeing to this.
"Dipper finally," said Pacifica approaching him.
Upon hearing her voice the birds started to scatter away, Dipper had no idea what just happen he was just happy to see Pacifica something that he never thought would happen. Unless she was getting arrest for being a pain in the neck. "Hey Pacifica," said Dipper escaping his inner thoughts for a moment in order to greet the girl.
"About time you showed up, so what kept you?"
"Oh not much just a group of birds trying to kill me."
"Hehe, they are playful," said Pacifica. "Come on let's go."
"Sure, hey I've been meaning to ask, but why can't I just come in like a normal person, I'm just here to tutor you."
"I know, but my parents hate you, so if they see you they'll lose it."
"Then where are we supposed to study?"
"In here," said Pacifica as the duo approached a window. Pacifica opened the window inviting Dipper to go inside. The window for some reason seemed familiar to Dipper, but he just couldn't remember. Once inside it became clear what it was, the secret storage room where the Northwest kept all their secrets. The room went through a few changes since the last time he was in it though, for one the room was clean, all the boxes were gone or put away on a corner. Light from the window was able to brighten up the room, there were book shelves and counters with small items, and books. The room looked freshly clean.
"Wow I remember this place," said Dipper.
"Yeah this is the room, where you trapped that dumb ghost," said Pacifica.
"You know I do remember someone helping me trap that guy."
"Yeah right I was just running and screaming trying not to dirty up my new dress."
"Yeah you're right it wasn't you, it was all me."
"Oh haha, funny."
"SO why this room?"
"Well it was the only place I knew my parents would never find you."
"That's smart, but there is no way you put all this together in one night."
"You're right I think it was during spring break I went to a party with my friends. I was having fun, then a boy was trying to look cool tried to hit on me. I didn't let him of course."
"Of course."
"Yeah so he did the next best thing, he pulled a mean prank on me, he somehow manage to turn my hair pink. Anyway I couldn't face the public looking like some emo rocker. So I hide in this room for a few day, after a while I started to look at some of the stuff that were inside. I started to read up on some of the things that my ancestors left behind, they were all plans to take over the world. Anyway I spend the rest of spring break in here, I got some butlers to clean this place and organize it, I guess this place is my own home away from home, in home. Those that make sense?"
"Yeah actually, but if you read up on all that why do you need my help studying, it sounds like you're willing to read anything that peaks you interest."
"Exactly," said Pacifica holding a math book. "And this doesn't, but we have a while to change all that so where do we start?"
Dipper started to search his bag digging for something that might keep her awake. After a few seconds of searching he found a history book. Tittle a, "A short history of the world," Dipper quickly started to make his way toward the table were Pacifica was playing with her nails. Dipper slammed the book on the desk quickly catching her attention. "All right it's no history for dummies, but this should the trick."
"Oh haha, let's just get started," said Pacifica
Early Greek history was interesting enough to keep Pacifica awake for a little while, then came Rome, and by the time they moved to Egypt Pacifica started to zoom out. Unfortunately by the middle age she was out. Dipper was trying to keep the energy going, but even he had to admit it was going to be harder than expected.
"Okay I think that about wraps it up for the today," said Dipper as he started to gather all the books, and placed them back to his messenger bag. "I guess I'll leave through the window."
"Hey Dipper," said Pacifica catching Dipper's attention. The young girl waited for Dipper to turned and face her. "How about you stay for Dinner?"
"I… uh," Dipper was taken back by her offer, not only is a girl offering him food, but this was Pacifica northwest. "Well, umh aren't I in the never let back in list."
"I guess so, but no one said we had to eat in the dinner table."
"What do mean?" said Dipper as he started to look around realizing what she was saying. "Here, you want to eat in you secret attic."
"Yeah why not."
"This isn't a secret club house,"
"Just shut up and sit back down!"
"Yes sir," said Dipper putting his stuff back down and started to walk toward the table.
"Good now I'll see if someone can bring us some food." A little while later Dipper, and Pacifica were eating. Although Pacifica was silently enjoying her lunch, Dipper was more than curious about the room. Last time he was in the room was nothing more than sheets hiding the family secrets. He did ask her earlier why she cleaned this places up, but might as well find out more about this room.
"So all this paintings, any favorite once?"
"Uh… yeah I really like that one over there," Pacifica pointed at an old painting, strangely enough the painting look older than the others, was the woman in it one of the founding members of the family.
"Who is she?"
"I don't know, I looked everywhere, any record about her is missing, this is the only painting of her, whoever she was something about her feels safe, like she isn't like the other members after her, like she isn't like me…"
"Hey come on you're not that bad, if it wasn't for you I would be nothing but wood, listen I faces death so many times, but to actually feel dead, that cold feeling that I got, I…I never want to feel that again. To be honest after I came back, you were the first thing I saw, seeing you faced that ghost well you looked like a hero," Dipper started to cut himself off before he started to sound to cheesy.
"There's writing behind the painting, all it says is the beauty, and the beast."
"You know she looks like you," commented Dipper.
"Yeah we're both beautiful."
"Well I wouldn't go that far…" said Dipper before he felt a piece of food landing on him. He turn to face Pacifica the young man started to laugh as he threw the piece back. And so the rest of Diner ended up all over the place. After a while the two pre-teens clam down and started to clean up the mess.
"So now's your turn," said Pacifica picking up the rest of the food.
"What?"
"What's so cool about the stone?"
"Well for one it has the power to turn anything into gold, and second well I really like strange things."
"Fair enough so tomorrow you're coming back?"
"Of course you're my star pupal, wouldn't want all my hard work to go to waste."
"You're really funny today aren't you, just get out here, my butler has a car ready."
"Okay, so… see you tomorrow."
"Bye." Despite the rough beginning Dipper had to admit he had a good time, in fact you could almost say he couldn't wait until tomorrow.
(A week later)
The town was quiet, as the sun started to shine, taking advantage of the peace two of the best, and only law enforcers in the town, Sheriff Blubs, and Deputy Durlan were eating on the local donut store.
"Well, well nothing beats fresh bake, right Durlan?"
"Oh yeah, hey check it out looky here in the paper, looks like today is the last day to check out that funny looking rock in the museum."
"Let me see," said Blubs taking the paper. "Hmm looks like we're going to have to be extra prepare today, no doubt all types of characters will arrive today."
"I'm on it" said Durlan striking a police pose.
"Hehe, I love your energy come on next round on me."
"Oh boy." As soon as the two officers entered the store, a truck stopped in front of the city. Stepping out of the car was a strange man wearing a large black coat. Following him were two other men wearing the same get up.
"Jurgen we arrive."
"So this is where it is, and the other?"
"Well since you took the car, the others went on foot, so give them some time."
Looking at his watch Jurgen started to smile. "Fair enough," as he rolled up his sleeve a small strange decaying material came out of him. "Shit let's keep moving, what else does this town has to offer."
It was a long and annoying road for Dipper, especially when he had to teach her about English literature, but today was the day. Dipper found himself sitting on a bus stop bench with his phone on his ear.
"Yeah I'm still waiting," said Dipper to his phone. "Yeah apparently she added a last minute detail to our deal. Turns out if she fails the exam I don't get anything." Dipper started to wait for a response. "I hope this wasn't a huge waste, but if it was this is all on you… don't talk your way out of it, hold on I see her limo talk to you later."
A limo stopped in front of Dipper, as the boy stood there waiting in anticipation on whether or not he succeed. The doors open as the blond girl stepped out. Right off the back Dipper could tell that something was wrong since she didn't check her nail, and it's already been a minute. Dipper started to smile at this little fact that he pick up after spending so much time with her. "So how did it go?"
Pacifica just stood there still silent, "You, because of you I PASS!" yelled Pacifica jumping up and down.
"That's awesome!" said Dipper. The duo started to laugh at the success of Pacifica. Pacifica quickly approach Dipper, the young boy was taken back as Pacifica started to hug him. Feeling proud for his pupil Dipper was able to get pass his shock of making physical contact with a female.
"Now's your turn," whisper Pacifica.
"What?"
"Our deal, you scratch my back, I'll scratch you so here," said Pacifica as she reached into her pockets pulling out a small piece of paper.
"What is this?"
"That's a family seal, show it to the owner of the museum and he'll know where to take, and with that said thank you for all your help," said Pacifica shaking Dipper's hand.
"Thank you," said Dipper. The two started to part way, feeling a little courageous Dipper decided to turn around and throw caution to the wind. "Hey Pacifica!"
"Yeah," said the blond girl quickly turning around to face him.
"Want to come with me? To the museum I mean?"
Pacifica silently stared at Dipper noticing how nervous he was made her blush slightly. "You must be joking, I don't do museum."
"Yeah you're probably right, now that you're free you're just going to waste everything that you learn on the mall."
"Don't think so little of me I'm not going to waste my education…"
"Then prove it, come on."
"Fine, I'll take you on your offer, come," said Pacifica stepping into the limo.
"In the limo?"
"Yeah no way I'm walking, if you're going to take me out on a date might as well arrive in style."
"Yeah," said Dipper before it finally sank in what she said. "Hey it's not a date, is an educational field trip." With that said the limo started to make its way toward the museum.
(Museum)
Despite not being the most popular place in the town, the gravity fall's museum was having a semi pack house today. Among some of the people waiting in line were Mable, Grenda, and Candy.
"So you're coming here… with Pacifica, as in Pacifica Northwest. And it's not a date. Okay than see ya bro."
"Well what did he say," said Grenda.
"He's coming with Pacifica."
"Is it a date?" ask Candy.
"He calls it an educational field trip."
"What?"
"I don't know and I don't want to miss this." The girls started to giggle together waiting for all of them to arrive. Unbeknown to them there was someone keeping a close eye on them.
Hiding in the bushes was the former child star Gideon. After hearing that Mabel was back in town he became her personal stalker, always keeping his distance, just waiting to make his move. The pale teen did grew a little taller, but his sense of style is still the same. There was also another change to the young psychic, but that's a surprise for later. The limo was slowly making his way toward its destination, inside the limo there was an awkward silence between the two, Pacifica kept her self-distracted by texting her friend, Dipper on the other hand just stared out the window. One of the things that he did notice was an increasing amount of people wearing the same outfit. He knew it was not a new fashion trend, and if you start seeing something weird in this town you better be on your guard.
The limo made a quick stop, as Pacifica started to get her purse. "Here we are."
"Yeah…"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine," said Dipper. 'I just had no idea that this was going to end up like this.'
Once outside Dipper's worried finally left as he looked around looking at his favorite place. The first thing that he heard was Mabel calling his name. "Hey Bro!"
"Mabel?" said Pacifica.
The three girls ran up toward the duo. "Hey guys, so Dipper I see you have company."
"Very funny Mabel you knew that I was coming," said Pacifica. "Good to see you, anyway let's just get this over with." A strange man approach the group wearing a blue suite, and also a familiar set of tattoos.
"Ms. Northwest so good to see you," said the man.
"Hello Ivan."
"Ivan, as in blind Ivan!" yelled Dipper quickly stepping up to cover his friends.
"My boy I have no idea who you are."
"Wait what."
"Oh yes I've suffer from a huge case of amnesia recently I discovered my name, then I found comfort in this building, I can't tell what it is, but anyway no I'm rambling come on children I'll close the display early so you can have a look at the stone," said Ivan.
"No way the day is short there is no need to end it this fast, come on I know this isn't the best place in the world…" said Mabel.
"HEY!" said both Dipper, and Ivan.
"I was going to say let's at least have some fun."
"She's right might as well try to enjoy ourselves," said Pacifica.
"Well then in that case I guess I'll hit Greece," said Dipper before Pacifica took him by the arm.
"Oh no you're staying with me and I want to go to the renaissance," said Pacifica taking Dipper away.
"In that case what do say girls Egypt?" ask Mabel.
"Yeah!"
"Enjoy yourselves children!" yelled Ivan. And so the group split in order to enjoy their educational field trip.
In a glass displayed laid the philosopher stone a stone with so much mystery that it's said to give the user a strange power. In front of the display was little Gideon getting ready to steal the stone for himself. "This is going to be easy" said the little boy. As he sneak past all the people Gideon waited for the guard to turn his back so he could reach for the stone. If the plan seem too easy it was because Gideon had a spell ready in case anything went wrong. Before he was able to touch the stone a man reach for the stone first and their hands collided.
"I'm so sorry sir but you see I was going to steal that so would please go away."
"Go away kid I'm taking this stone." Said the man.
"How dare you that stone is mine!"
In order to shut him up the man revealed the explosive he had on his vest.
"Oh I see you're packing heat, well then don't let me get in your way," the young psychic walked away from the scene after realizing that he was outmatch. "Curses foiled by grown-ups mmm I wonder what those men are up to, I shouldn't stay to find out but." Gideon was about to make his way to the door when he saw Mable the girl of his dreams. As much as he wanted to go talk to her he knew that her brother had to be around, but also he was afraid of what does men were going to do, so might as well cut his losses. "Oh my precious Mable I'll make you my queen someday," said Gideon as he walked away.
Mable again felt a strange feeling to vomit. "I think I just threw up in my mouth," said Mable.
What started as a simple trip to the museum quickly turn into a fun afternoon, each of them could find something to talk about in the museum. It was a little educational, it was a little boring, but for the most part it was a fun day. However in the shadows these strange men started to gather one by one, a man would approach a group leading them somewhere.
(Modern Art)
"I don't see it?" said Dipper.
"Come on is right there," said Pacifica.
"Nope."
"Really."
"I just don't see it."
"This is a very expensive piece of modern art, it captures life in one circle," said Pacifica staring at the painting on the wall.
"I guess I just don't see the hype of modern art," confess Dipper.
"Well I do, and I guess that is one thing I can say I beat you in," said Pacifica as the two started to laugh. "Hey all jokes aside thanks for helping me with you know everything."
"Hey what are friends for," said Dipper.
"Please come with me" said a man approaching them. Dipper and Pacifica looked at the man in confusion since he didn't look like he works here, their fear were understood as the man pulled a gun. "I insist"
Dipper and Pacifica were taken to the main hall where all the people were among them were Mabel and the other girls. Together once again it only took a few minutes for everybody in the museum to be held hostage by the group of men in coats. Dipper on the other hand was trying his best to make sure his sister, and his friends are safe.
All small stage was erected were one of the men stepped up to speak. "Good day ladies and gentlemen my name is Jurgen, my men and I are here to claim this piece of stone in order to commence with the grand act," Jurgen. Another man approach him holding a box. "You shall all be witness to the rise of a new world, a better world... (Opening the box) A GERMAN WORLD" said Jurgen as he held the skull of Hitler.
"Nazis" said Dipper instantly recognizing the skull, and the symbols each man was wearing.
Jurgen stood at top of a stage holding the remains of a monster long thought dead. "Our glories leader will breathe again!" Said Jurgen.
"This is nuts," said Mabel whispering to her friends.
"What do Nazis want with that rock anyways? Is it really as magical as he says?" ask Pacifica.
"Our glorious leader will tell you in a moment," said one of the man who was watching the hostages. "In the meantime is there anything else I can get for you," ask the Nazi soldier.
"Wait why are you being nice to us all of the sudden?" ask Dipper stepping in front of Mabel.
"Dear boy, you people are not captive, you are our guest for this ceremony, but if you want I could always tie you up and break your fingers one by one," said the soldiers.
"We're good..." said Pacifica as she pulled Dipper closer to her. "I don't think we should piss off Nazis!"
Dipper took the time to get a good look at the situation as far as he could tell the whole building was surrounded by these people. The hostages or guest were all scared out of their mind. Parents were holding their children, while others were praying for rescue. Suddenly a small shriek was heard behind them, Dipper turned around and saw one of the Nazi holding Candy by her collar.
"Get away from us," yelled Mable trying to defend her friends.
"You children are all a plague on humanity look at you fat, ugly, and misshapen," said the man.
"Hey I'll have you know my braces came off this year," stated Mable.
"It's such a shame to destroy youth but sacrifices must be made." Before the man could get his hands on Mabel another soldier took him by his hand forcing him to drop Candy.
"What are you doing Hans, Jurgen said that we must keep them alive," said the man.
"Fine, but after the grand act is over, Christopher, I'll kill them all." His words send chills down all the kid's spines. Dipper quickly shook off the feelings and ran to check on Candy.
"Candy are you okay?" Said Dipper
"Candy is fine."
"So did you, and Pacifica enjoy yourselves" Said Mable almost ignoring what just happen.
"Mable this isn't the time for that," said Dipper.
"I'm just trying to light up the mood."
"Well is not working," said Pacifica blushing slightly. The doors started to burst open as a group of cops barge in with weapons on hand.
"Freeze you are all under arrest for taking hostage, and attempted robbery," said an officer.
All the men looked at the stage where Jurgen was standing barely faced by all the cops. After a small clap Jurgen took a mic and cleared his throat. "Officers of the law please take your best shot, but please be aware that nothing you do will change anything," said Jurgen pulling out a gun.
"He's arm fire!"
"But sir the people?"
"We have no choice focus your shoots men." All the police officers started to fire at Jurgen and any man standing around him. All the hostages started to put their heads down so they wouldn't be caught in the crossfire. As the guns stopped the cops were surprise at the outcome. All the Nazis were still standing.
"Oh please by all means take your best shoot, hahaha," Jurgen started to laugh. The rest of the men started to lock the doors trapping the police.
"How are you still alive?"
"A haha haha that's is where you're wrong officer, you see," Jurgen started to peel off parts of his skin reveling the bone under it. The rest of the soldiers started to do the same. "You must be alive in order for that statement to work."
"What are you?"
"Ghost, demons, walking dead, there are many different ways of naming what we are, but in your terms we are zombies."
"Nazi zombies," said Dipper.
"That's right child," said Christopher his skull completely expose. "Jurgen I believe it's time."
"Yes it is," said Jurgen as he snapped his finger. Suddenly all the cops found themselves impaled by the zombies. "Now the body," said Jurgen. Another zombie came with a box inside were the body parts of an evil man. "People you are all going to bear witness at the resurrection of perfection, first the elixir of life." Jurgen pulled the elixir out of his pocket and poured it to the body. Amazingly enough the elixir magically refilled itself. The body started to move, then followed by a scream, and finally the body got up. "My king, my fuhrer... hail Hitler!"
"Hail Hitler!"
The body was given a coat to put on to cover his expose areas (organs, and bones). "Jurgen is that you, it's been so long since I felt the ground under my feet, what year is it?"
"It doesn't matter sir, soon we will rewrite the course of time, but before that we must finish the grand act before the effect wears off."
"What do you mean?"
"Bring the stone!" Another zombie quickly brought a box covered by a curtain. "Sir I give you the philosopher stone!" Jurgen took of the cover off to discover an empty box. "Where is it? Where is the stone!" Yelled Jurgen.
"What's going on?" Ask Mable
"I don't know but it looks like this could be our chance come on," said Dipper as the group starts to sneak away.
Jurgen started to yelled at the top of his decaying lungs before he cough out some dust. "Whoever took the stone please step forward," said Jurgen with no answer the angry zombie started to adjust his jacket. "Very well then, bring me all of our guest so I can personally have a talk with them". A panic started raised as all the people started to run away. Hitler quickly started to decay again, and quickly turned back to bones. "Dam it the ritual didn't go through, we must find that stone!"
"Oh boy quickly run!" Yelled Dipper.
"Where?" Said Grenda.
"I don't know we just need to get somewhere save," said Dipper as the group started to run away from the zombies. Getting a good distance from the hoard Dipper saw a door slightly open with a hand waving at them. "That way!"
Racing to the door a zombie jumped out of nowhere and surprise the children. "FREEZE!"
"Awwww"
"Please don't hurt us mister zombie," pleaded Pacifica.
"What no I would never hurt such a perfect child like yourself."
"Oh well thank you," said Pacifica accepting the compliment.
"Pacifica are you serious!?" Said Dipper in disbelief.
"What he's right I am perfect."
"Pacifica he's a Nazi he only thinks that because you're blond with blue eyes that's wrong in so many levels," argued Dipper.
"Listen there is nothing wrong with a little praising," said Pacifica.
"You're unbelievable," said Dipper.
"Dipper" yelled Mable.
Dipper turned around and notice that Mabel was already inside the door. Dipper took Pacifica's hand and started to run. "Come on"
"Hey," said Pacifica.
"Hey get back here," said the zombie.
Dipper and Pacifica entered the door as a voice told Grenda to lock it. After sealing the door Dipper and Pacifica sight a sign of relief. "That was close," said Dipper.
"You can say that again," said Pacifica. The two of them looked in front of them and notice Mable, Grenda, and Candy giving them funny looks. "What?"
"Oh nothing heheh" giggled Candy.
"So when are you two going to stop holding hand," said Mable.
Dipper and Pacifica looked down and notice that they haven't let go of each other since they enter the door. "Oh sorry," said Dipper.
"It's okay you were just making sure we both made it here right? " ask Pacifica.
"Yeah that's right I was just watching over you in a none creepy way, hehehe"
"Okay stop talking" said Pacifica.
"How touching" said a voice coming from the darkness.
"Alright who are you?" Ask Dipper.
"Oh just little old me," said Gideon.
"Gideon what are you doing here?"
"Oh just thought I was going to have fun time at the museum."
"I don't care, are you responsible for this," ask Mable looking at Gideon.
"Nope I'm sorry Mabel dear but I have nothing with those things."
"AWWWWW"
Screams from the outside were heard all over. "Are they still looking for that dumb rock?" Ask Pacifica.
"Yes and they won't stop until it's found," said Dipper. "We need to find it before they do, but who would have taken it," said Dipper thinking about all the suspect. "Hey wait a minute Gideon you wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you."
"What who me no never, I should get going, so later," Gideon started to walk further away from the group until Grenda grabbed him.
"You're not going anywhere," said Grenda squeezing him.
"Let me go you gorilla," yelled Gideon.
"A gorilla am I?" Grenda started to squeeze him harder until the philosopher stone pop out of his jacket.
"THE STONE!"
"Give it back it's mine."
"No, I knew you were up to something," said Mable.
"What were you going to do with it?" Dipper asked.
"None of your business, it doesn't matter anyways we're not getting out of here any time soon."
"Fair enough," said Dipper.
"What Dipper he stole the stone we should at least find out what his plan is," said Mable.
"Normally I would agree with you, but he is right there is nothing we can do until we stop those guys."
"What do they want with this thing anyways, is not even that cute, said Pacifica.
"This isn't an accessory Pacifica this is the philosopher stone, it has the power to turn anything into gold," said Dipper.
"Yeah you told me that already but what do they need it for?"
"Maybe it has to do with Hitler," ask Candy.
"They were talking about the grand act, and Dipper I know that you know what that means," said Gideon.
"I do."
"Great, but mind telling the rest of us who are not nerds," said Pacifica as she look around. "Scratch that explain to the other nerds, and me."
"Really you just couldn't resist, whatever okay alchemist were the first chemist in history, a lot of their methods are still used today in fact," said Dipper.
"But because they also got involve in the supernatural they were considered crazy." Said Gideon.
"Right an Alchemist's goal was to become one with nature and the elements around you, but another more personal goal was to discover immortality."
"When the elixir of life was created, it allowed alchemist to life forever, but they still were able to get diseases, get injured, and age normally so there was a missing piece to the puzzle."
"The philosopher stone, a stone with the ability to turn any item to gold, gold as you all know is the purest of all the elements, it doesn't rust, it always stays the same."
"Combining the stone, and the elixir would give any one immortality, the ability to life forever, while at the time never growing old or get sick," said Dipper
"Wow you two make a cute couple, you're even finishing each other's sentences," said Pacifica.
"You wanted an explanation, now all that we need is a plan to stop them," said Dipper looking around, "Where are we anyways?"
"Looks like we are in the back storage where they keep things that can't be show yet." Said Gideon.
Dipper saw a large sheet of ancient paper, lifting it for a moment he saw a mummy. At first he was about to throw up, but then he was hit with inspiration. "I have a plan," said Dipper.
The Nazi Zombies finished interrogating almost all the people, after each interrogation they would separate them by groups. It was still unknown why they were separating them, but it couldn't be for a good reason. All the children were placed together near the stage where Jurgen first made his speech with Ivan in charge of them. The floor was still covered in blood from the police who tried their best to save them. Their bodies hanging from the cealing as a reminder of the power that this monsters have. Standing close to the window Jurgen was watching the police gathering outside waiting for their chance to strike again. "Fools they have no idea what they are going up against we will never die," looking at the remains of his once great leader, who has now turn into a skeleton that could barely keep himself up. Jurgen couldn't help but smile. "Soon..."
"Sir we found a child that wants to speak to you, about the stone," said one of the Zombie.
"A child, does he has the stone?"
"He says he will only talk to you."
"Very well this should be a little entertaining," said Jurgen. "BRING HIM."
Dipper was getting dragged by his shirt to the podium, where Jurgen was waiting. Finally face to face dipper couldn't help but feel amaze at how the whole experience felt surreal. "Well?"
"Oh hi my name is Dipper, Dipper Pines."
"What a strange name for a boy."
"Well it's more like a nickname but I'm getting off topic, I'm here about the stone"
"Do you have it kid?"
"No but I'm just curious about a few things, first of all how do you know about the stone?"
"If you don't have the stone than you are useless to me," said Jurgen. Before he was about to attack Dipper, Jurgen saw in his eyes a look of curiosity and wonder, the boy's mind was like an open book a feeling he too had long ago. "Very well my men and I discovered a gypsy camp, after we capture them all the alliance arrive and we battle for 3 days, I lost all my men in the battle. I was the last to go shot right through the spine, and I bleed out. Years later another gypsy camp was built on the soil of the battle, the people were unaware of the bodies that they were sitting on. One of the men in the camp was an alchemist that discover the elixir of life after a small accident the elixir landed on the soil entering my body and I awoke."
"So why did you wait this long to attack us?"
"Curious child aren't you very well you see impress by the power of the elixir the doctor saw me as one of his children so I played the part. He told me about the war and about alchemy. After he thought me all that he could I took care of him with the elixir of life in my hands I could have raise an entire army, instead I choose to explore the world and learn more about alchemy. My journey made me realized how much this world needed us to put in the right direction, but then I learned about the grand act. I was able to track down the stone, but by the time I arrive the stone was taken by the museum, so I brought some of my men to life, and slowly plotted how to take the stone, and bring back our leader, but enough about me, why do you wish to learn about us?" Questions Jurgen.
"Oh I just… wanted to know more about our captives."
"Mnn that is a fine, you know you remind me of a young me, well a more like a more alive me, but anyway" Jurgen kept on talking about different things, Dipper used this to look around for a way to take the elixir of life from Jurgen. Sneaking into the podium was Mabel looking at her brother for direction Dipper simply started to give her hand signs leading her to the counter. Mable was able to take the elixir and quickly ran away. Dipper notice how Jurgen was still talking that at he wouldn't notice dipper leaving. "And that boy is my master plan... kid where did he go? It doesn't matter soon we will find the stone and... where is the elixer, the boy AWWWW!"
Inside the storage room Dipper could hear the scream, "Things are about to get crazy."
"What makes you think your plan will work pines?" Said Gedion
"What is your plan anyway?" ask Pacifica
"Simple if Jurgen has his own army than we should have one too." Said Dipper as he started to pour the elixir down the mouths all of a mummies.
All the Zombies started to gather as Jurgen started to yelled for someone to find Dipper. After a few minutes Jurgen took the mic and started to make an announcement. "Dipper Pines come out come out where ever you are, if you don't I will start shooting every person here. The only reason why I kept you all alive is so that I can have an audience for my plan, but the truth is I never need any of you, so unless you want this museum to have more lives added to its history I suggest…"
"Hey!" Yelled Dipper approaching. "Looking for me?"
"There you are boy choosing to surrender smart now where is my elixir, and the stone?"
"If you are looking for the stone then you are going to go through me!"
"Don't make laugh boy you are a tiny boy how are you going to stop us, now just give up slowly and give me the stone, and the elixir."
"You might be right I'm short but I am not alone in this you see I figured out how to stop you, with some help from my new friends... now" said Dipper. Nothing happen as dipper looked on waiting for the big reveal. "I said now... that's your que"
"Oh sorry you weren't clear on it the first time so..."
"It doesn't matter it's time now!"
"Okay okay let's go guys!" A small silence followed as Dipper stood in front of the approaching Zombie hoard. Feeling confident Dipper stood his ground not moving one inch. A few seconds later the zombies were now face to face with dipper.
"Don't be stupid kid give us the stone," said the Zombie.
"No..."
"Eat him!" Yelled Jurgen.
Roarrrr!
Suddenly a group of mummies started to run toward Dipper. Behind them were some cavemen and a T Rex Skeleton. "Sorry for the wait," said one of the mummies.
"What is going on?" Ask Jurgen.
"Oh turns out is not that hard to use the elixir, so now I have my own army," said Dipper.
"You are a smart child but this won't stop me. MEN SLAUGHTER!' All the zombies started to run toward Dipper army. Both forces met in the middle of the museum and started a huge battle. As for the people held captive Mable Candy and Grenda were able to sneak pass the battlefield and made their way to the people.
"Incoming Zombie," said Candy looking at the Zombie coming toward them.
"Oh no he won't," said Grenda running toward the zombie tackling it full force. The impact broke the zombie legs. "And stay down."
"Alright Grenda," said Mable.
Watching the battle take place from the comfort of the back storage were Gideon and Pacifica. "Figures that girl has a lot of muscle," said Gideon. "I guess I should plan my escape."
"Wait why aren't you fighting with them aren't you like magic or something?" ask Pacifica.
"Wow you are smarter than you look, the reason why I'm not fighting is because that is not my fight and as much as I want to see how Dipper screws this up."
"Wow you are such team player," said Pacifica with a straight face.
"Oh really well then how come you aren't out there?"
"Are you nuts what can I do, Dipper handles stuff like this all the time, and I trust him. He told me to stay here, so I know he won't let anything happen."
"Then in that case there should be a back door here somewhere" said Gideon started heading deeper into the storage area. "Come one there has to be a back exit" Gideon started to clap his hands together so create a small orb of light.
Being left alone Pacifica started to question why she didn't go with Gideon, did she really trust Dipper that much, or was she really that scared. Either way she made her choice and all that was left was to ride out the storm. The sounds of the battle were heard all over, giving Pacifica an uneasy feeling. "What was that?" A small silence followed soon, and Pacifica couldn't even hear Gideon's voice. Feeling scared Pacifica started to look, and before she knew it Gideon's scream could be heard. Pacifica quickly ran back to check on him, one quick turn and Pacifica was taken by one of the Zombies.
The battle between the Mummies, and the Nazis was erupting all over the building. Flying parts were getting scattered all over the museum. The fight was starting to get too out of hand that Mabel started to ride a T-Rex.
"YOU BOY!" yelled Jurgen.
"Huh," said Dipper.
"You where is it! Where is the Elixer, where is the stone?"
"It's over Jurgen you lost!"
"You don't understand child, I am trying to save this world."
"You're a monster! If you explore the whole world, how can you stand there and tell me that this world needs Hitler back?"
"The world is not what you think, there are monsters out there, real monsters. What I want to do is create a wall for the people to protect them from these monsters."
"You're insane!"
"Sir!" yelled one of the Zombies.
"What?"
"We found these two hiding," said the zombie holding an unconscious Gideon, and Pacifica.
"Pacifica!" yelled Dipper.
"Huh?" said Pacifica waking up. "Dipper!"
"What's this, young love?" laughed Jurgen. "Well I must say I hate clichés but if you don't give me my items then I will kill her!"
Dipper stood quiet feeling the pressure of having his friends in danger, just then he heard Mabel. "Ahh Dipper!" yelled Mabel as a group of Zombies started to climb the dinosaur. With the pressure building up inside of him, the young teen realize that he lost. He couldn't describe it, but he knew that it was over for him, he was going to lose his sister, and his friends. Jurgen could sense the feeling of regret coming from Dipper.
"It's a shame when you know that the end is near. Somewhere inside you know that you have so much left to do, that you're life has no meaning. The worst part is that your life wasn't even long enough for you to remember, good night child!" said Jurgen pulling a gun, before he pulled the trigger Jurgen fell to the ground. All the Zombies started to fall to ground, including the mummies, and everything else that was brought back to life. Outside the museum a giant circle was drawn around the building.
"And done," said Uncle Ford holding a bucket of salt.
"So what exactly is this?" ask Stan.
"Well you see Zombies are a strange case of exorcism, instead of a demon taking over the body, the original spirit of the person tries to take back control. So like any case of exorcism, a simple circle of salt, mixt with holy water does the trick." Explained Ford as he threw the water to the circle. "As we speak everything in there should be falling apart, and don't worry the kids will be okay."
"They better."
Inside the building all the people started to come out of hiding seminally unharmed. Dipper stood in confusion as to what just happen. Looking around for what he could make up everything was dead… again. "What the hell?"
"DIPPER!" yelled Mabel running toward him, along with Grenda, and Candy.
"Guys!"
"We did it," said Candy.
"We rock!" yelled Grenda.
"I don't know guys I don't think it was us, either way we should get out of here before…"
"Police!' yelled the police as they all entered the building.
(Minutes Later)
Hospital cars were all over the museum helping anyone in danger. Dipper was already patched up as his uncles were making sure he was okay.
"Kid you okay?"
"Yeah."
"Son that was very reckless, zombies are nothing to laugh at! Especially NAZI Zombies!" said Ford.
"Hey I was trying to protect my friends and!"
"He was doing the right thing," said Stan.
"Listen you're lucky I was around, but Dipper you're old enough to understand that I'm not a security blanket I won't be able to save you all the time, we'll be waiting on the car to take your sister, and her friends home," said Ford.
"You did good kid," said Stan patting him on the back.
Ivan later approached Dipper. "Hello Dipper right? Listen thank you for all you've done I know I shouldn't do this, but here," said Ivan handing him a box.
"What is it?"
"Open, and find out!"
"Um nothing."
"What, where, where is the stone!"
"I have no idea, wait unless Gideon, he must have taken it."
"I'm sorry child."
"It's find he's not doing anything, without this," said Dipper holding the elixier of life.
"Well keep that close with you, is a trophy to what you've done today, if you ever need anything the society… I mean museum will always help you."
"Thanks… I guess." Dipper started to make his way toward the car. On his way he bump into a certain Northwest.
"Dipper!"
"Pacifica hey, so how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine, but how about you, what's going to happen now?"
"Well knowing my uncle he is defiantly going to call my parents, and there goes my vacation, but I can't say it wasn't fun hehehe."
"Well that's a bummer, I was actually looking forward to more creepy things like this."
"Well you're lucky you live here, so if you're ever bored just walk toward the woods, you never know?"
"Yeah, anyway thank you," said Pacifica hugging him. "Here, stay in touch you nerd."
"Right!" said Dipper before leaving.
(Present)
"So yeah we stayed in touch, and that's that," said Dipper noticing a strange grind coming from Mabel. "What…?"
"You like her!"
"Shut up, anyway I see the town."
"You should tell her."
"No, besides she told me she had a surprise for me too, so you know fingers cross," said Dipper. The duo quickly notice the welcome wagon waving at them. Soos looking older, wendy must be in college so it's not clear when they will see each other. Grenda, and Candy where also there, and of course Pacifica holding hands with some guy… "Wait what!?"
