Opening File: Hoss Delgado
Of the many rogues to exist on our world Hoss Delgado is considered extremely dangerous. Testimonies from various Huntsmen conclude that he is xenophobic, paranoid, extremely temperamental and highly violent. Unlike most warriors Hoss Delgado has not unlocked his Aura or tried to discover his Semblance, considering them dark wicked magic. He also seems to possess an unruly hate for all beings he regards as non-human, including Faunus and Mobians.
His right hand had been replaced by a cybernetic one that can change into numerous weapons such as a cannon, a machine gun and even a plasma beam sword. Though he is credited for slaying Grimm he is also an extremist for attempting to slay Faunus, Mobians and anything else he considers non-human. Due to this he is wanted by the authorities along with countries that advocate equality with Faunus and Mobians and even the Satyra has offered a bounty for anyone who brings in Delgado's head.

"Hate is a natural emotion but it's one of the most powerful and most dangerous. To hate something one does not always need reason to justify how they feel. It could be brought on by a perceived crime or insult at oneself or it could be the result of being taught to distrust someone for just being different. Hate is what it means to feel absolute contempt for a person, place or object. " TOM said as the file closed. "When you let yourself feel nothing but hate you become less than human, less than even an animal. When you feel nothing but hate, all you'd do is want to hurt everyone and anyone around you with no remorse. As you go through live, remember that hating something is easy while trying to let go of the hate is hard."

Hoss Delgado had only arrived in this backwards looking town a few seconds ago and he honestly say he hated it.
Just as much as he hated everything non-natural and non-human.
Just as much as he hated that freak Sammael.
(Flashback)
"And I have a job that seemingly suits you."
Delgado snarled, glaring at Sammael with complete hate. "I don't do jobs for freaks."
Sammael showed no signs of being affected by Delgado's hostility. "Even though it was my decision to save your life from Scotty Blake? You were outmatched by one of the greatest warriors in the world who just happens to the uncle of the woman who adopted your daughter."
"I could have finished him!" Hoss snapped, refusing to admit he had almost been defeated. "And don't ever call that freak my daughter again!"
Sammael didn't even blink. "You exaggerate."
"The point is I don't work for freaks and next time I'll skewer him and that little demon spawn!" Hoss snarled.
"No. The point is you are a fool." Sammael turned away, hands behind his back. "You have no unlocked Aura, only brute strength and the modifications to your arm. Perhaps it was a mistake to summon you here, no matter how important the purpose was."
"No one summons me!" Delgado snapped as he managed to stand back up.
Sammael smirked as he looked over his shoulder. "Then it pleases me to be the first."
"What do you even want?" Hoss demanded.
Sammael faced the exterminator. "This is my command: you will go to the town of Gravity Falls and hunt down whatever magical creature you find."
"Why should I? What's in it for me?" Delgado retorted.
Sammael seemed amused. "Your bargaining posture is highly dubious but very well. I will provide you with weapons needed to fight against Scotty Blake and aid your crusade."
"And?"
"And nothing!" Sammael's red eyes flashed. "You can either accept my offer or proceed…to oblivion."
Hoss was lifted off the ground and slammed into the wall, feeling a heavy pressure slamming down on his body with enough force he thought he was going to be squashed like a bug. "AHHHH! WAIT ! I ACCEPT YOUR TERMS! I ACCEPT!"
The pressure vanished and he fell to the ground on his knees, panting slightly as he stared up at his new…employer.
"Excellent." Sammael said, sounding very pleased and held up his hand, showing a flaming eye marking on its back. The eye glowed and from it emerged what appeared to be gold and black dust that came together, forming a golden gauntlet with a black gem embedded in the back of the hand, revealed from a secret compartment and a glowing sphere on the back of the hand. "Behold…Purgatory. Created to serve as the perfect counter to all forms of magic, thanks to the Black Dust in its palm."
"Black Dust?" Hoss questioned as he examined the gauntlet, seeing that it would perfectly fit his remaining normal arm.
"Dust is recognized as the greatest source of power on this world, myself included. However unlike the rest of its kind Black Dust is the only one of its kind to be created and it can only be created certain individuals. While most Dust harbors the power of the elements that can be unleashed by those who wield it Black Dust absorbs all forms of energy around it, even from its counterparts and even Aura. Its abilities are quite dangerous, able to disrupt any form Semblance no matter what kind." Sammael explained. "Purgatory itself uses the power of the enemy and turns it against them. Against creatures of magic and even fully trained Huntsmen you will have no greater weapon. Use this in Gravity Falls and no one will stand against you."
Hoss slipped the gauntlet on, flexing his hand in it. "All right, you have a deal…For now."
"Then be on your way and remember that I will be watching."
(End Flashback)
Hoss examined his new weapon that had been named Purgatory.
It was impressive to look it and its simple appearance hid the dangerous power it held. A golden gauntlet with clawed fingers and the Black Dust gem inside that would absorb any form of energy which was why it was kept in the compartment so it wouldn't affect him or anything else until he revealed it. Hoss Delgado was considered a brute by many but he was not an idiot. He knew that if Sammael had given this gauntlet and its secret weapon to him without a second thought he was either insane to give away such a weapon or he knew how to counter it.
And from what he had experienced against the human looking creature it was obviously the latter.
"All right, Sammael. I'll play your game…For now."
Hoss Delgado had sworn to rid the world of all supernatural abominations when he was a child and he would see it through, even if had to use the weapon of the enemy.

June opened her eyes, groaning slightly and cursing the sun for shining down on her face and forcing her to wake up. "Oh come on."
"You awake, lass?" Monroe asked, hopping off of June's lap.
"Yeah." June groaned as she stood up, stretching her limbs. "No excitement during the night?"
"Quite as a tomb, lass." Monroe chuckled at the bad joke and the sour expression on June's face. "But we better get back now. Jasmine and the others will likely be worried."
"Yeah." June sighed and started walking. "Well, my first assignment out of Orchid Bay and I'm not doing so well."
"Don't be so down, lass. You've been given a chance no one else has been given since ancient times." Monroe walked with her. "No one expected this to be easy."
"I've faced down monsters and demons but I've never faced down fully trained Huntsmen before. They may not be the strongest I've ever faced but they were tricky and skilled." Juniper rubbed her now healed knee. "I'm not used to them being smart, Monroe."
"Aye. That's why it was agreed that you wouldn't do this alone." Monroe replied. "This is new for all of us. Things have been different since…Well since the day you became Te Xuan Ze. It was supposed to be your father to receive the powers next after Jasmine but for some reason it skipped a generation. That was extra hard on Jasmine since she ended up doing the job twice as long."
June had remembered hearing this before and tried to imagine her father fighting monsters and demons. "Why do you think they skipped my dad? Did he just not have what it took?"
"I truly can't say, June. Powers skipping a generation is unheard of. Down the line of the Lee family the first born always inherited the powers next, ensuring there was always a new guardian to enforce the balance. The streak in your represents the bond you share with the magical realm and even with Jasmine and the previous guardians." Monroe took a deep breath. "It's a tough job and it wasn't fair of your ancestors to swear their family's allegiance to enforcing the balance for as long as their line endured but it's one you and Jasmine have done spectacularly. You are more than worthy and you have earned this chance to see the world beyond just Orchid Bay no matter the burden that comes with."
June smiled down at Monroe. "Thanks, Monroe."
"Anytime, lass. Anytime."

"You failed to eliminate the Te Xuan Ze." The leader said to the two robed men who bowed their heads, praying for forgiveness. "But there is no time for punishment. A new intruder is approaching."
"An intruder?" Another robed figure asked.
"Yes. He will be watched and monitored."

"Owl, owl, owl…" Dipper trailed off, looking through the journal but found nothing about a golden owl like the one Hoagie claimed he saw.
It's not like he didn't believe Hoagie. In fact, after seeing what Bill was capable of he absolutely believed what Hoagie had told him. It's just that the journal had no mention of a golden owl, at least he couldn't see it.
"It's not here." Dipper closed the book. "Hoagie said the owl told him how to get back and a bunch of other weird things like there was only him and…the Spiral. But there's mention of a spiral of any kind in here. And what Hoagie said about Bill's plans…How is he getting here?"
It was so frustrating to find out about something so exciting and yet unable to learn anything about that. How can he find nothing on this owl or the spiral in the journal which had told him about all the weird things in Gravity Falls? Dipper walked over to the side of his bed, seeing the pictures on the wall of all the crazy things in Gravity Falls and all of them connected to papers with drawn pictures of Bill, the Owl and a spiral.
"It's not here." Dipper repeated his previous words and sighed. "But they are important and I need to know."
He had come so far in looking for answers and he was not about to give up.
Xxx
In the meantime Hoagie had grounded during most of the stay in Gravity Falls due to him missing during the few hours when Bill tore his spirit from his body and vast him into the void. He came up with the excuse of falling asleep in the library since it wasn't likely his mother, grandmother or even brother would believe he had been kidnapped by some sort of demon. He asked if he could go back and get his books which his mother agreed, on the condition that he comes right back.
The trip to the library gave him time to write up a message to send to his friends.
Hey, Nigel, Abby and Wally.
I hope this message gets to you guys. The library is about the only place in Gravity Falls that's got Wi-Fi aside from the Northwest Mansion but I don't feel comfortable trying to email you guys from there. I had a bit of a good time here. I made some new friends and I got a have a little fun but I think something is seriously wrong up here.
I am not sure you guys would believe me if I told you everything even if you guys have experienced weird things before. What I've seen challenges I believe in a world where science explains everything like Doctor Time Space and the Continuums even though you guys don't like that show. I like sci-fi, I like to believe there is more to our world than we know and I like to dream of one day souring among the clouds and seeing everything out there.
But lately there are things I've seen here that I thought was only imaginary, that could never be real and the real scary thing it excites more than it scares me. Ever since my dad's accident I've wanted to find answers, to understand why what happened to him happened. One day I answered a question and it led me here. Now I know that the person asking the question had the answers I wanted but I am not sure I want to know anymore.
All I can do is start looking for answers instead of expecting someone to answer them for me and hope I haven't made a horrible mistake.
Your buddy, Hoagie.
Hoagie pushed the 'SEND MESSAGE' icon and watched with satisfaction as it was sent to the accounts of his friends.
'Miss you guys.'

"This place is boring!"
The elderly Dexter looked up from his newspaper as his grandson entered with an annoyed look on his face. "And good morning to you as well, Dexter."
"Where is Mr. Northwest? I want to know why he hasn't told us anything about what we are doing here." Dexter replied, ignoring what his grandfather had said.
"He is sending out invites to gather everyone for the special event. It should be ready in a day or two." Dexter Senior answered, sipping his coffee.
"Why not now? He has two geniuses in this house already. He doesn't need anyone else." Dexter complained.
As much as he was amused by Dexter calling them both geniuses he knew his grandson was still naïve, lacking wisdom and experience and he had a bit of an ego problem that threatened to cloud his judgement unless he got it under control. He also had no wish to have his grandson go anywhere near the Mystery Shack.
"There are other geniuses in the world, Dexter. I employ many smart people at DexLabs and not all of them are scientists but they are people I can trust and not all geniuses work for me." His grandfather spoke wisely. "This is not a process that can be solved by just two geniuses. Be patient, Dexter. Why not go out and make some friends?"
Dexter scoffed. "This town has no science facility. Only a library and barely anyone goes there. Why couldn't I bring my science kit from home?"
"Because you have much to learn, not just about science but about people and you can't learn if you are hiding in your room trying to invent all day and all night." His grandfather answered looked out the window. "DexLabs is invested in improving life for the people but wants and needs of everyone changes as time passes. To know these needs you must have understanding of the people our company wishes to help."
"But we are smart enough to know what people will want." Dexter protested, believing that his intelligence would be all that was needed.
"Are we?" His grandfather looked back at him. "Our family has its history of unique Semblances, especially since there are almost always a son and daughter to carry on our line. One inherits the Semblance that is always active; enhancing their intellect in one way or another while the other inherits the rare Imagination Semblance that is extremely powerful. Your sister's Semblance conjures an imaginary friend for her and your uncle's allows him to preform feats of magic."
"But magic is fake. The one true power in the world is science." Dexter pointed out with a smug grin. "Anyone who thinks magic is real is foolish and stupid."
"Oh really? You can say that with such certainty even though we live in a world where we fight monsters and special powers?" His grandfather asked, a smirk appearing on his face.
"The so-called monsters are mere spawns of an advanced lifeform seeking to spread out and reproduce much like blood cells. The powers of Aura and Semblance are nothing but energy created from our essence that we evolved to gain as a counter against the monsters." Dexter quickly answered. "Why do you speak as if you believe in magic, grandpa. You founded DexLabs, you know science is the only power to understanding the universe."
"Science is simply an approach, one of many we choose to as way to answer the questions we have asked since the beginning of our existence. Our true gift is the choice to choose how we believe the world we live in exists, science, religion or simply living like a normal person without these questions constantly on the mind." Dexter Senior explained. "Remember, Dexter not everyone believes in science like you do and it is important to respect that everyone has different beliefs. Do you understand?"
"Yeah…I guess." Dexter shrugged.
"Now, about you try those arcade games they have here?" His grandfather suggested, happy to change the subject.
"…What's an arcade?"

"Stanford Pines. Parents and twin brother both deceased." Jack Spicer stared down at the screen. "Born in New Jersey, which explains why he moved here. That place has more Grimm and criminal problems than GrimmFall. Enrolled to Backupsmore University then moved here and set up a…Mystery Shack. What is he up to?"
He closed the file and put his tablet down, looking out the window.
"I don't like being led around like this. Time for another talk with that kid."

Dear friends
I hope my message reached you both and that you are in high spirits despite my absence. I have explored the small town known as Gravity Falls and while it is nothing like the atmosphere of Peach Creek it has its welcoming charm that I find to be very relaxing. My parents have asked me to continue my studies in the Northwest Mansion's own large library or even the public one in the village. I confess when I saw the large library of the mansion the only word that came to my mind was 'Rapture'.
Books upon shells upon wells of literature. I could already see it now:
Professor Double D, Book Archivist. I like the timbre of that.
Or perhaps Nobel Prize winner Double D.
So much to learn and it helps pass the time for me as I await the task Mr. Northwest as set for me and my fellows. I eagerly await it and I hope to hear from you both again.
Sincerely
Double D

"So this is Gravity Falls, huh? What a dump."
"But it's also where you will have your first mission. Mandy found you and brought to us for a reason. Prove that she wasn't wrong you can be useful and in return we will provide the chance to vengeance on the Tennyson boy."
Kevin Levin barely paid attention to the shadowy form of Moloch behind him in the bushes as he walked past the 'WELCOME TO GRAVITY FALLS' sign.
"Remember to wait for that exterminator brute to create a distraction for you to infiltrate the Blind Eye and find Mandy."
"Yeah, yeah." Kevin waved off Moloch's instructions. "Guess I'll see what I can take while I'm waiting."

"My dad's not happy, you know?"
Nyx barely looked up from the doll she was holding in her hands upon hearing Pacifica's voice. "Oh? What happened?"
"Those Pine twins stopped him from destroying the Journal and those Blind Eye pets of his failed to kill the Te Xuan Ze. They'll keep poking their noses where they don't belong." Pacifica sighed, brushing her hair while looking at her mirror. "We'll have to wait until we have another chance. We might have lost a contender for my father's contest."
Nyx felt Pericles looking at her but remained calm. "Oh, really?"
"Yep. That chubby kid named after a sandwich got on my dad's bad side." Pacifica put the brush down. "Daddy banished his mind to the void."
"Yikes. A little harsh, isn't it?" Nyx asked, sounding genuinely surprised.
"It is but he found out too much. Guess there will only be four contenders." Pacifica shrugged. "In the meantime, I'll make sure those suck-ups don't fail this time."
"Good luck with that."

"A girl who appears out of the ground, able to shift her form from human to spirit, life and death with possible the power of both. Such an existence is unique and never before thought possible, no matter what we have encountered."
"You wish to take up guardianship of this girl, even though she had been brought here by followers of our enemies?"
"Even if she had almost died at the hands of the enemy this is not a decision we can allow lightly, Sanban-san."
Genki Sanban remained stoic before the Tribunal, having had to report to them about Danielle, the girl that her daughter had found and brought to their home. A girl with great powers that she had witnessed when Danielle had woken in a terrified state brought on by her encounter with the Fallen demon Moloch. She had seen to it that her staff was watching the girl carefully after the procedure to remove her memories of the horror inflicted on her by Moloch was preformed by Sensei Splinter. That was three days ago and now here she was before the Tribunal that had been informed of the girl's origins by Splinter.
The Tribunal consisting of four members remained hidden behind curtains, their faces and identities concealed for security reasons. The reports made by the doctors confirmed that Danielle was completely human but the medical reports showed her unique bloodline which included great healing abilities and seemed to be stronger than a normal human her age. The doctor also confirmed that Danielle was actually younger than she looked, seeing a very slow cellular decay one would normally find in children only one or two years old. She had no immunization shots due to the way she had been created and treated by her 'father' which the doctor quickly took care of, ensuring she would be as healthy as possible for a girl in her condition.
Further research suggested that the reason she was female instead of a male, given that her creator was trying to clone a boy was in response of the unstable nature of the other clones Vlad Masters had attempted to create a more stable clone no matter how temporary by altering the gender to female instead of male and had succeeded since Danielle had a human form unlike the other clones. As for why she appeared to be a twelve year old little girl instead of a teen the medical staff theorized that it was because that girls mature faster than boys and that the original Danny had only begun reaching the stage of puberty which would be the same for Danielle, hence appearing at the age of that point in life for a girl.
"This girl has unique abilities and powers that must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands, especially in the hands of the Fallen." One of councilors spoke. "But have we considered the risk of keeping her here instead of simply sending her to America."
"It would be easier but we cannot risk her falling back into Sammael's hands." Another one, a woman spoke. "It would be wiser for her to remain here for the time being."
"I agree." The third councilor spoke. "Her powers and existence are unique and she could become a formidable ally to any side she is on."
"And what if she refuses to stay? What then? Do we let her wander off or put her in quarantine?"
"If I may speak." Genki spoke up, earning all eyes on her. "Since my daughter was the one who found her and brought her to me I volunteer to be the one to look after her. I do not know if she will attempt to leave or not but I believe I can convince her to stay for the time being."
The councilors all remained silent before the apparent lead one spoke. "Very well. She will remain in your care, Sanban-san."
Genki bowed. "Thank you, councilors."
The councilors dismissed and as she walked away she allowed a small smile of satisfaction to grace her features, knowing that her daughters would be happy. They were both curious about Danielle and wondered when she would wake up.
A chance for her daughters to have a friend made this meeting worth it.

"Man, I never thought this Ben's dimension could be crazier than the other ones." Rex rubbed his head, looking out the window of the hotel room him and Six rented from his bed. "I mean, we just barely survived a fight with his archenemy and before that a giant monster."
"It has been a challenge." Six noted, remembering the recent events. "Still, you've found the Ben of this universe and even though he isn't what you expected he still has the potential to be just as strong. It's a large world and Van Kleiss could be anywhere."
"Yeah. Makes me wonder why we haven't heard about an EVO attacks yet. I mean, sure there are monsters here but we haven't seen anything resembling an EVO at all." Rex looked back up the ceiling. "I thought he'd try running the place by now."
"This world has many fighters, likely outnumber and even outmatching Van Kleiss. He'll need resources if he plans trying to do here what he tried back in our world." Six suggested, pulling out a table he bought. "That gives us time to try and track him down."
"What are you doing?" Rex glanced at Six.
"Max showed me the Hunter channels last we spoke. If there is information on Van Kleiss, it'll likely be…Here." Six said, pausing for a second. "Rex…"
"Yeah."
"I found him."
"What?!" Rex sat up, looking at Six with a surprised look. "You've found him?!"
Six nodded, holding up his table to show a picture of Van Kleiss. "According to the information he's hold up in Kansas, a place called Nowhere."
"Kansas?! He's hiding all the way out there?!" Rex came over and looked at the screen. "Actually it kind of fits him. Completely empty like his heart."
"Yes." Six adjusted his sunglasses. "No one would think to look for him out there."
"So what do we do? We go out and find him?" Rex asked.
"After we verify this information's source and find appropriate supplies. We do not have Providence in this universe." Six replied. "The information came from a pub in GrimmFall…Lime Ricky's. We'll leave early and make our way back to GrimmFall."
"Sounds like a plan…I guess."
