"And a whole lot of nobodies I couldn't care less about." Bill burned the list away. "Whitey's already sending two of them here to quote: 'keep an eye on me,' unquote. So, in the meantime, we got to gather up all the wedding guests. It will be a BLAST!"
His demon followers all cheered as Klarion hovered next to him. "I'm all for a blast but none of us can leave this stupid town to get them. Only Nyx can do that."
"Yup. We'll have to put her to work. She's been having too much playing with these meatbags and not giving us a turn to mess with them." Bill said, folding his hands behind his back as he floated up to the window, showing the town still under protection from the barrier.
"As an entity of Chaos born here, she is not bound by the weirdness field that is keeping us trapped here." Klarion floated up next to Bill, petting his familiar Teekl. "And she's been gathering followers while 'going behind our backs'. Or so she thinks."
"Yeah. You try and raise them right and they try to stab you in the back and take all the power for themselves." Bill wiped an imaginary tear from his eye. "Doesn't just that make you feel so proud?"
"Proud enough I might actually not set her on fire for a thousand years, freeze her for another thousand years and then chuck her into the sun." Klarion chuckled. "Still, her followers will be able to round up all those guests…As soon as we find her."
Teekl meowed.
"Oh, she wouldn't go looking for her boy-toy. She doesn't even remember her past life as a human." Klarion scoffed. "That's the point of her dying to become a Chaos Lord."
*Meow. *
"So what? She'll just kill her toy and then her little girl." Klarion grinned. "And that will make it all the sweeter."
"Almost wish we could just sit back and watch the show, but we got to step on the gas. Sammy boy is moving ahead of us on his front and looks like Yellow's Doomsday weapon was a dud. Won't she be happy to hear that?" Bill chuckled. "Still, that will only motivate her to try even harder and luckily once Sixer gives us the combination on how to break through that weird field surrounding this hick town, she, Blue and White won't be a problem anymore."
"We'll make sure Nyx is ready to do her job then." Klarion rubbed his hands before vanishing in a flash of red fire.
Bill sighed and leaned back on his throne. "What a lovely view…Almost perfect…For a massacre of a wedding! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Dark clouds could be seen gathering overhead.
Even though they were at the moment in a place where sunny skies had been all but assured they knew better than to assume everything was all right.
"You feel that, don't you?"
Nigel didn't have to guess why his best friend Abby was looking out the glass door, staring at the dark clouds that had formed above the Kingdom of Moanna where they had been staying, taking a vacation from the crazy recent events that seemed to become normal for them.
Normal for Elementals.
"Yeah. This ain't your ordinary storm." Abby answered slowly. "You can feel it?"
"I can. It's a bit hard but I remember sensing something like this during that whole mess with the Ice Queen and…the Darklands." Nigel shuddered. "It's…him, isn't it?"
"Yeah…He's out there and from the violent flares of energy I feel, he's fighting against some pretty tough guys." Abby answered, her own eyes flaring. "And there's someone else there too…One of us."
"Ed?" Nigel asked in a worried tone but somehow knew it wasn't the Slime Elemental.
"No…Fire." Abby answered. "You, me and Ed make up three of the four Elementals but Fire…"
"Sammael has Fire…" Nigel paled. "That big storm in Nowhere…"
They had heard about a huge storm and apparently an army of Grimm appearing in Nowhere.
They knew it could only mean one thing.
Sammael was on the move.
And what was scary about it was that they heard about it right after coming back to Moanna after defeating the Ice Queen.
Sammael had been making a move while the entire world was being covered in one giant blizzard.
"Is there anything we can do?" Nigel asked Abby as she turned away from the door.
"I…I don't know." Abby sighed. "The other Elementals…They all fought him before but lost…All they could do was keep…Them out of his hands."
The Spiral Gems.
"There's one in Nowhere, isn't there?" Nigel gulped. "That's why he's got Fire with him now and why he's out there."
Abby said nothing but both knew it was true.
Sammael had been for the last thousands of years for the perfect chance to begin his hunt for the Spiral Gems.
Both could hear the thoughts of their predecessors even now.
'The power of the Fallen reaches across the world, all with the ability to sense the mystical energies can feel it.'
'Sammael will use his pawns to destroy the heroes in their rush to keep him from his prize.'
Sammael was grinning as he faced down Major Glory, Valhallen and Krunk.
'The Darklands, which has been the sight of countless Grimm being spawned for thousands of years, has been unleashed.'
'Sammael's actions will ring the bells that will signal the beginning of a new Spiral War.'
'And that is not all.'
In the depths of space, two giant arms, one colored yellow and the other colored blue.
'The matriarch rulers of the race of stone and light now come to Earth.'
A one-eyed triangular shaped demon, laughing on his throne.
'And the bringer of chaos now prepares to begin his own reign of terror upon the people of this world.'
Nigel and Abby shuddered.
'What hope can two young children, children of ice and snow, of candy and sweets, but children nonetheless can bring unto this war of man and gods?'
"Is there anything we can do at all?" Nigel clenched his fists. "I don't want it to end like this…Not after everything we've been through. Can anything stop them?"
Abby could only answer with a despondent look on her face.
Neither of them noticed their shadows seemingly growing behind them…
Until it was too late.

"To think, we're actually going back to that mudball."
Across the vast cosmos, two pairs of giant metallic arms could be seen, crossing the great void between the stars. One was colored yellow while the other was blue and both held two of the three Diamonds, rulers of the Gem Homeworld.
Yellow Diamond was not happy.
Given her job, she was almost rarely ever happy but that was beside the point.
They were going to Earth.
Earth.
The failed colony.
The rebel planet.
The planet where their sister was shattered.
Yellow Diamond considered that planet a blight on the universe for its very existence, the grief it had caused her and her sisters.
The Rebels.
The Grimm.
The Racing Drones.
The Asgardians.
All enemies had come together and fought them on this very planet for some insane reason that she and her other Diamond sisters could not ever hope to understand.
For the last thousands of years, the Earth had been the greatest source of misery for Yellow Diamond and she believed the sooner that planet was gone the better.
So why did Blue keep on wishing to preserve it?
Why was White choosing to keep entertaining those 'allies' of hers?
"Yellow?"
Yellow Diamond opened her eyes, perking up to the voice of the person on the holo-screen projected before her. "Blue."
"Are you all right?" Blue Diamond asked with a concerned look on her face.
"I'm fine." Yellow Diamond straightened herself. "I was just…checking to make sure I left no urgent tasks undone."
"Yellow, I'm not asking if you have forgotten anything or questioning your efficiency. I am asking if you are all right." Blue Diamond spoke softly but those that knew her well enough could detect just a bare hint of amusement in her voice.
Certainly, Yellow could. "I am…I am bothered by this task White has set for us. Visiting the Earth when the Cluster will likely emerge very soon and all because White's ally has invited us to this… 'wedding.' To say nothing of the fact that the Earth and its allies have humiliated us again with the attack that cost us the Elementals."
Blue Diamond was quiet, her tear-stained saddened face making Yellow regret airing her concerns. The last thing Blue needed was more stress, given that Blue Diamond has done nothing but morn for the last thousand years.
All because of the Earth.
"Yellow…" She spoke softly again. "Despite the attack, I know you were never happy that the Elementals were brought to Homeworld."
"They were still taken out from under our noses." Yellow banged against the armrest of her chair. "It was one thing when they were standing their ground on a backwater planet far off from our main space but to bring the fight to Homeworld and humiliate us…"
There was a spark of electricity around Yellow Diamond as she gritted her teeth but took a deep breath, more out of the necessity to calm herself rather than to actually breathe.
"No one before this has ever successfully mounted a full attack on Homeworld and succeeded. If not for the Cluster I would have ordered a full invasion of that planet and personally crushed the inhabitants with my own hands…" Yellow Diamond held up a hand, clenching it into a fist. "Like I should have done during the war."
The sight of those two who Yellow had fought…
An aura of pure lightning surrounding a man in armor, holding up a hammer as his eyes flared with pure lightning even while being obscured by his helmet.
She hated them.
She hated him.
She hated them for their defiance.
She hated him for having the gall to face her as if he was equal to her.
And she hated them all the most for…
For giving her the greatest thrill, she had ever felt in her entire life as a Diamond.

"Pericles, get the others!" Nyx shouted under the net. "Get them here and waste this bastard!"
Pericles looked to Nyx. "What about-"
"I'll be fine! He can't kill me!" Nyx glared up at the Grimm Goblin. "But you'll be wishing for death when I break free!"
"I've died once." The Grimm Goblin looked back to her, lifting one hand to his face. "In fact, you were the one who killed me."
"Is that so?" Nyx spat, glaring hatefully.
"After we spent a life together." The Goblin pulled off his mask, revealing an adult male with brunette hair and looking at her with sad eyes. "And then you killed me in my sleep, Nyx, after we sent our child here."
Nyx's eyes widened and she sputtered. "Wh-WHAT?!"
Pericles was also stunned as he looked at the man and recognized him. 'That fat boy, Hoagie Gilligan. I knew he was sent to the Pillow World with Nyx but did they…Oh, Glob Nyx, you didn't!'
He had not anticipated this!
If Nyx had borne a child with the Gilligan boy during their time, there than where was she?!
'Do Klarion and Cipher know of this child?' Pericles' mind raced. 'Of course, they do but that also means…'
Sammael stared at the hand…and grasped it. "Of course. And of course, you shall hear my conditions."
"Of course." Nyx nodded.
"The first condition is that you will do nothing to hinder me or my allies in our goals whatsoever." Sammael started.
"And you will do the same for me." Nyx retorted.
"The second condition you will not speak of anything you learn from me or my allies to anyone, not even your closest friends if you have any or convince them to act on your behalf against me in any possible way." Sammael continued.
"Two-part, condition, smart move. Of course, the same goes for you." Nyx replied with a grin.
"Thirdly if you or anyone you know or you are affiliated with violate any of these conditions the magic will not affect you or your familiar. Instead, it will kill the person you love the most." Sammael finished with a grin of his own.
Pericles gasped. 'He somehow knew too…Cipher and Klarion guesses Sammael had agents watching everything in Gravity Falls! If he knows about Nyx's child and Nyx goes against him…Oh, Nyx…What have we done?'
Nyx looked absolutely stunned before her eyes flared. "You're lying."
Hoagie shook his head. "I'm many things, Nyx but between the two of us you were always the deceptive one. You knew me as a human, spending a lift time with me, even gifting me with the greatest creation of our lives."
"I am no mortal! I am a Chaos Lord!" Nyx shouted, thrashing against her bindings. "Even if it is true, you mean nothing to me! NOTHING!"
"I'm sorry you feel that way." Hoagie sighed. "Just know this, Nyx. You left behind something that would protect our daughter if you ever tried to harm her."
Nyx's eyes widened and then narrowed. "You're bluffing. No human sorcery is a match for a Chaos Lord."
Hoagie glared at her. "Don't even think about it, Nyx."
"Oh, I'll do more than that." Nyx's lips curled into a smile. "It seems I still have a few connections to my old life I must get rid of if I am to ever truly be free."
"NYX!"
Nyx grunted and snarled at the sound of her voice being called. "Klarion…He never shuts up." She glared back at Hoagie. "We'll finish this some other time."
Before Hoagie could do anything else, Nyx burst into a blast of purple fire and vanished from sight, followed quickly by Pericles.
"Oh Nyx…" Hoagie muttered sadly at seeing what the love of his life had become.

"Gah!" Dipper grunted as he was shoved to the ground in front of Bill Cipher's throne. "What is this? What am I doing now?"
"Doing, Rose Bud?" Cipher chuckled from his throne. "Why, kid, you're doing what any sane person in your appalling position would be doing. You're going MAAAD!"
Dipper stood up, taking a step back as Cipher shrunk down and floated in front of him. "Mad? I'm only here because I thought I could trust Pacifica. I should have remembered how-"
"Remembered? I wouldn't be doing that, Pine Tree." Cipher chuckled as he tapped a finger on Dipper's forehead. "Oh, that's very dangerous thing to do, kid. Trying to remember every little horrific detail of your meaningless little life. One moment, you're lost in all those child delights you meatbags like and then…" Bill's eye narrowed. "You get lost, taken somewhere you don't want to be. You think you have it rough, kid? Trust me, being stuck here is a picnic compared to living in a flat-world, with a flat-people who have flat-dreams, so unimaginative and boring, they just about chain down EVERY aspect of yourself."
"What are you talk-GAH!" Dipper started but was shoved to the ground.
"Oh, don't be so rough with him." Cipher scolded the demonic guard as he brought a finger under Dipper's chin. "We still need him in one piece."
Dipper grunted as he looked up, staring up at Cipher.
"Memories can be so vile and repulsive that way, kid. That's why I've learned to appreciate everything I have now. Everything I've done since the so-called good old days." Bill held up a finger. "Of course, we can't exactly do away with them now, can we? Memory is everything our reason is based on. Deny that, we deny reason itself. Then again, I was never one for reason much anyways! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
"Gah!" Dipper lifted off the ground by an enlarged hand from Bill as the dream demon brought him up to the window, allowing him to see Gravity Falls.
"You see kid, I learned long ago we're not obligated to being rational and orderly. There's no sanity clause for us at all, we're free to be as insane and crazy as much as we want. That's how I was able to liberate my home dimension." Bill chuckled. "And now, I'm here to do the same to yours."
"Liberate? You're destroying everything!" Dipper had the courage to shout.
"Oh yeah, you still think in boring three dimensional." Bill rolled his eye. "So limiting and boring. At the very least, you're still more imaginative than the flat dregs of Flatland. And you're more open to the idea that when things get too hard, the screaming is unimaginable you can always remember…" Bill turned Dipper to make the boy look at him as his eye burned. "There's always madness."
He dropped Dipper down, chuckling as the boy hit and rolled down the stairs back onto the ground.
"So just remember, kid. As you wait at the altar, you can just close the door on every little dreadful problem, wish it all away…" Bill's eye curled up into a smile. "Forever."
Dipper grunted, holding his shoulder as he looked back up at Bill with an angry look. "Is that what you did? Just, locked up all the bad things you felt for every little bad thing you did?"
"Oh, I did more than that, Pine Tree." Bill held up a hand, conjuring blue flames. "I BURNED them all away. And you and little Cipher will be there to watch as I burn away this world's problems too."
Dipper shivered as he stared up at the blue fire.
"But before we do that…" Bill snapped his fingers and music started to play. "WE'VE GOT TO HAVE YOUR BACHELOR PARTY!"
The surrounding demons and monsters all cheered as cages fell from the ceiling and various inside were human corpses that began to dance.
"And this is a song my good buddy Klarion happened to show me, and I like it so much I'm choosing it to be yours and Pacifica's song!" Bill summoned a cane as he started to dance at the top of the stairs of his throne, making his way down as he started to sing.
(The Killing Joke – I Go Loony Begins)
When the world is full of care
And every headline screams despair
When all is rape, starvation, war and life is vile
Then there's a certain thing I do
Bill twirled his cane as he sang with his demonic henchman dancing around him.
Which I shall pass along to you
That's always guaranteed to make me smile
Yes!
Bill made it to the bottom of the stairs, leaning forward towards Dipper with his eye forming into a demented smile.
I go looney
Bill twirled around, the demons making up his gang staying with him as they continued to dance.
As a light bulb battered bug
Bill snapped his fingers.
Simply looney
He then made 'cucko' sign, pointing at himself.
Sometimes foam and chew the rug
Dipper was suddenly lifted up and thrown into a cage that was held up in the air.
Mister, life is swell in a padded cell
The cage was then tossed back and forth as the demons cheered and laughed as Dipper cried out from being thrown all over the place.
It'll chase those blues away
Bill kicked his feet up, twirling his cane which the cage then bounced off.
You can trade your gloom for a rubber room
He then pointed one finger at his left arm.
And injections twice a day!
Dipper's cage hung over the mouth of one of the demons, terrifying Dipper as it looked like he was about to be eaten…
Just go looney
Only for Bill's cane to catch the catch at the very last second.
Like an acid casualty
Bill grabbed the cage, spinning it with one finger and enjoying as Dipper screamed.
Or a moonie
He tossed the cage up into the air…
Or a preacher on TV
And spun around, holding a hand behind him as he easily caught the cage before it hit the ground.
When the human race wears an anxious face
Dipper was panting now, seemingly hyperventilating as he held a hand over his chest.
When the bomb hangs overhead
He then looked up and gasped in horror to see kid sized doll resembling Mabel…with dozens of pins covering it from head to toe.
When your kid turns blue, it won't worry you
Bill then grabbed the doll by the head, twisting the head and pulled it off, holding it out to a horrified Dipper. It only got worse as the doll sang the next few words in Bill's voice.
You can smile and nod instead
Bill then tossed the doll's head away, bringing up the cage as his gang lined up behind him, dancing in perfect synchronization…Or as close to it as possible.
When you're looney
Then dolls resembling Dipper's friends and family were hung down from the ceiling, all of them looking torn, disemboweled, and dismembered in a horrifying manner.
Then you just don't give a fig
Dipper cried and tried covering his eyes but a pair of creatures resembling bats with a giant red eye flew down on him, forcing his eyes open.
Man's so puny
As he was forced to watch, all of the dolls began to burn.
And the universe so big
"PLEASE STOP!" Dipper begged, falling to his knees. "PLEASE STOP!"
If you hurt inside, get certified
Dipper continued to scream as the blue flames engulfed his cage but didn't harm him.
and if life should treat you bad
He cried out, falling to the ground but was caught but Bill who lifted him up to look him in the eye shined a red light down on him.
Don't get even... get mad!
Bill then struck a pose, holding Dipper up and even taking his hat off.
Yes!
The rest of Bill's gang posed with him as blue fire exploded around them, signaling the end of the song.

INFINITY TRAIN ARC
Opening File: Avatar of the Spider
As stated before the Spider is a celestial entity that exists on another plane of existence outside of the physical univers known as the Prim or the Pit of Hate. The Spider briefly manifested itself on Earth as a clown but was killed by the Fallen Los, better known as the Crimson King. However, the creature Los had killed was only an Avatar of the Spider that only had a fraction of its power. Only a handful of mortals have been confirmed to becoming Avatars of the Spider and each one would meet a rather violent and bloody end, establishing a pattern given the Spider's murderous nature.
It has been confirmed that at least one Avatar, a physical manifestation of the Spider, appeared on the Infinity Train and met its end by a young Roland Deschain. Since it can only manifest one physical Avatar per dimension or universe, the Spider cannot manifest again on the Infinity Train and can only grant its power to a willing host.
The question is can the host relinquish this power once any likely morbid task by the Spider is complete?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Everyone frozen and turned to see Dipper falling to his knees as a black aura surrounded him. It shrouded him into a dark mist and he let out another scream as his form was completely engulfed in the blackness.
"Dipper!" Mabel cried out, taking her eyes off the Gohm that was thankfully as surprised as everyone else and too distracted to drain her life force.
Dipper's form inside the blackness could be seen as it started to grow. After several seconds, the dark mist receded and what stood had absolutely no resemblance to Dipper Pines.
He had become 6ft tall, adorned in black knight armor, becoming spider like in appearance, and gained eight red eyes.
This was not Dipper Pines anymore.
This was the Avatar of the Spider.
The Gohm screeched, jumping off Mabel and lunging at the spider themed knight who held out one hand.
ZAP!
BANG!
From his hand came an energy blast that hit the Gohm right in the chest and it exploded on contact, leaving nothing behind.
The knight lowered its hand, staring ahead at the group.
"Oh man…What now?" Kevin mumbled, taking a step back.
Rolf sniffed the air and stiffened. "A great evil has befallen Pine Tree Dipper Boy."
Ed's own senses were flaring, screaming 'danger!' to him as he rushed over to Mabel, moving her behind him as she stated in open mouthed horror. "…Dipper?"
In the meantime, Ford's mind was racing as he took in the form Dipper had taken and stared at the eight glowing red eyes.
Eight glowing red eyes.
Ford's mind flashed back to reading about dozens of myths throughout the multi-verse.
"See the TURTLE of Enormous Girth"
"On his shell he holds the Earth."
"His thought is slow, but always kind."
"He holds us all within his mind."
"On his back all vows are made;"
"He sees the truth but mayn't aid."
"He loves the land and loves the sea,"
"And even loves a child like me."
The mythical Turtle that was said to be a being of kindness and creation, able to vomit out entire galaxies.
"See the Eagle's brilliant eye,"
"And wings on which he holds the sky!"
"He spies the land and spies the sea"
"And even spies a child like me."
The brilliant Eagle that sees all no matter how far they might be.
"On candy stripe the Spiderman comes."
"Softly through the shadow of the evenin' sun."
"Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead."
"Looking for the victim shivering in bed."
"Searching out fear in the gathering gloom."
"And suddenly a movement in the corner of the room."
"And there is nothing I can do when I realize with fright."
"That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight."
"The Spider…" Ford whispered with horrified eyes.
The Spider that was the enemy of the Turtle.
The being that devoured while Turtle would regurgitate.
The Spider that stalked its prey while the Turtle only watched.
The Eater of Worlds.

"What's this?" Xavier frowned, sensing an unnatural presence on the train. "It almost feels like…"
In his mind flashed a trio of deadly lights that would break the minds of any mortal who would gaze upon them.
The Deadlights.
'So, the Spider sends an Avatar after me.' Xavier grinned. 'As if it would be enough to stop me. Sammael warned me that the Spider was such a sore lose that it would not take the powers of its previous earthly form being integrated into me.'
"The Spider is a cosmic deity but make no mistake, like everything else that takes physical form It too must be obey the laws of the physical realm it enters." Sammael spoke, glancing over his shoulder at Xaiver. "If It comes after you then you must kill whatever form It takes. The Spider may be powerful…"
"…but in the end, it's afraid of those who do not fear it." Xavier recalled with a grin on his face. "Meaning, I just have to kill whatever It has sent, and I will have shown even the Spider that I am not to be trifled with."
He spread his arms out, feeling the wind pass over him as the Train continued its endless trek. "By all means come at me so-called Eater of Worlds."
