Opening File: The Origin of Magic
Magic or sorcery is an attempt to understand, experience and influence the world using rituals, symbols, actions, gestures and language that are believed to exploit supernatural forces. A spell, charm or hex is a set of words, spoken or unspoken, which are considered by its user to invoke some magical effect. Historical attestations exist for the use of some variety of incantations in many cultures around the world. When the comet that spawned the Grimm collided with the planet it affected the barriers between other realities, weakening them enough that tears would form.
From these tears various forms of energy washed over the planet Earth and spread out across the universe, bathing the planet and its people. From this exposure allowed the creations of people originally called Wizards who were able to wield nascent mystic abilities that interbred for thousands of years, concentrating and strengthening the genetic predisposition and become a separate line of evolution known as Homo magi. In this world magic was divided into several elements including: fire, ice, wind, lightning, earth, gravity, time, healing, poison, darkness, light and chaos. The people of the Forgotten Era were taught by the great ones that came to this world how to properly harness and wield the magic they had been given, creating a balance between light and darkness.
This led to the creation of a great continent spanning kingdom known as Pangea, led by a great king named Ozric, a kind and benevolent ruler who led his kingdom into an era of peace and was loved by his subjects. Among his loyal subjects were twelve righteous warriors who directly served him and protected his kingdom known as the Knights of the Round and a powerful magician who was his closest friend and advisor named Yen Sid, hailed to be the most powerful wielder of the magical arts next to the Elementals themselves. Yen Sid wielded magic to such a level he could conjure up mystic clouds taking the shape of bats and such, and bring to life inanimate objects, like broomsticks and even broomstick shards.
It was said that he could make diamonds out of warts and elephants out of cats.
The civilization of what is now known as the Ancients was one of prosperity and wealth for everyone, learning science and magic to an advanced degree that allowed the kingdom to spread across the entire continent. Yen Sid himself was said to have discovered the source of where the world's magic had come from and would spend many years studying it. He believed that magic and even Dust was created by the power of life itself and its potential was unlimited. Eventually he came upon a small pool of the source in liquid form, discovering it give life to everything around it and even altered the substance to the point that Dust was created.
He came to believe this power to be an ocean of life energy that coursed through not just the planet but the entire universe.
At the time he no idea how right he was.

Opening File: Doctor Diablos
Doctor Diablos, a genius in science and a master of sorcery and one of the most powerful enemies of the Justice Friends. His parents were unique, one of them being a scientist and the other a mystic who had been raised by Tibetan Monks and grew up working to combine them together. Growing up in a life of luxury he spent his younger years combining science and magic he had learned from his parents he eventually engineered their deaths in an accident, inheriting their entire company. To him, everything in life was nothing but a series of experiments and he saw his parents as failures.
Once inheriting the entire company he set forth with his plans to combine science and sorcery and secretly achieve his dream: eternal life and unlimited power. With the science division that had been made by his father combined with his mother's knowledge of the mystic arts he created a suit of armor similar to the Tibetan Fire Sword that had been gifted to his mother. The magical properties combined with the indestructible titanium-steel gave him the key to his dreams. Once he placed it on the magic powered by the light of the sun burned him from head to toe.
His skin burned away, the hot metal seemingly bonded with his body, forcing him to wear it for the rest of his life. However the magic had severed his connection to the physical world, leaving him numb to pain, devoid of emotions and turned him into a cold unfeeling killing machine as well as immortal. It also protects his mind from any form of mental attack such as telepathy and hypnosis due to the mystics being similar to the Fire Sword used by the Tibetan Monks. This armor gave him immense strength and durability and allows him to absorb and manipulate energy as he sees fit.
By delving deeper into the mystic arts the man learned to summon an army of demons to his side and thus named himself Doctor Diablos. His study of the demon arts earned the attention of Hudson Abadeer who believed he had gained a follower in this mad mortal and thus decided to teach this mortal. Diablos learned all he could and made a deal to use the demons summoned from the Nightosphere in return for never harming a specific human ever.
Diablos would later learn this girl was Hudson's daughter: Marceline.
Eventually Diablos was approached by Comrade Red with the offer to join the Injustice Friends to oppose the Justice Friends. Initially not interested Diablos would use his magic to peer into the future and came to believe that the Justice Friends and others like them would ensure the destruction of the world by protecting the weak and keeping humanity along with Faunus and Mobian kind from evolving. Diablos decided that in order to force evolution conflict with the Justice Friends and all Huntsmen would be needed.
Thus Doctor Diablos would become one of the most dangerous villains in the world.

Opening File: Toffee
As tensions escalated between Mewmans and monsters, Queen Comet Butterfly developed a strategy for preventing conflict by feeding the army generals and the Magic High Commission delicious food. After inheriting the throne of Mewni from her mother Estrella, Comet's first act as Queen was holding a banquet in honor of the monster king Archduke Batwin. This notable act would make great strides in bridging the gap between Mewmans and monsters, much to the chagrin of the High Commission and the rebel monster factions.
Sometime later, however, in the midst of the signing of a peace treaty between Queen Comet and Archduke Batwin, one of Batwin's generals named Toffee went rogue and assassinated Comet. She was immediately succeeded by her daughter Moon. In retaliation, Moon used the 'darkest spell' taught to her by her ancestor Eclipsa, to blast off Toffee's middle finger, the spell preventing Toffee from regenerating it. Toffee's army were shocked at this development, fleeing their camp in fear, with Toffee following shortly after, calmly conceding defeat and beginning a lifelong grudge against Moon.

"When thinking of magic what comes to your mind? Pulling a rabbit out of a hat? Sawing someone in half only form them to be fully intact when they put the boxes back together? Or with a wave of your magic wand and a few magic words you turn someone into a frog?" TOM asked as the file closed. "Or maybe magic is something you believe to be real but cannot be seen or proven. Perhaps the real magic is finding a way to do what no one thought you could do."

"And if I or the High Commission tried to contact them?"
Hekapoo shrugged. "They might answer, or at least a few of them might answer. Like I said, they don't work like us."
"I see…What are they called?" Moon asked, deciding to ask one more question before a doing a bit of her own work.
"…They are called the Spiral…The Six-Founding Spiral."
Moon Butterfly took a moment to gaze around the strange land she had arrived in. Her magical senses allowed her to feel the mystic power flowing through the land. It was an open field surrounded by giant mountains.
And in the center of this field was a single glowing prism guarded by a man in black.
"I am Queen Moon Butterfly of Mewni." Moon introduced herself. "Are you a member of the Six-Founding Spiral? The Azure Guardian of Space and Time."
The man remained still even as he answered. "Yep."
Compared to the Magical High Commission he was completely normal for a magical being. He looked completely Human or Mewman, with only his skin being blue.
"I have questions." Moon stated.
The Azure Guardian remained silent.
"I have been told you and the other Guardians of this Spiral were created in response to massive distortion in the Earth's timeline. I wish to know what that cause was." Moon stated.
"I thought you said you had questions." The Guardian replied. "What you said is more of a statement then a question."
Moon scowled but didn't react. In her experience with Glossaryck and the Magical High Commission they often liked to provoke mortals. "What was the cause of the time space distortion?"
"Evil." The Guardian simply said.
"Evil?" Moon raised an eyebrow.
"A force of Evil that was meant to be destroyed but survived by the skin of its teeth." The Guardian clarified. "It impacted the world, altered the threshold between dimensions and made even time…fluid."
"Evil that impacted the world?" Moon whispered, remembering what she had learned about the Earth. "The creatures known as the Grimm. They came from a meteor that impacted the world. Is it the source of the distortion?"
"Yes."
This Guardian was about as helpful as Glossaryck and that was saying something. "What is the Spiral's purpose?"
"To ensure life endures. As the Azure Guardian of Time and Space I am tasked with protecting time itself. I can look into the past, present and future and see what might and will happen. The world we protect was given all it would need and thus we left." The Guardian explained.
Moon wasn't sure if anything the Guardian said helped alleviate her concern to Star's presence on Earth so she decided to ask one question. "My daughter is on Earth. As wielder of our royal wand she holds the greatest magic in the universe and is thus protected by the Magical High Commission. Do you know this?"
"Yes."
"Does her presence affect anything you have done for this world?"
"All that is now is as it should be." The Guardian simply said.
Deciding she had enough Queen Moon turned away. "Then I take my leave. Please know that I and the Commission will be watching Earth to keep my daughter safe."
"It is not the Earth that brings potential danger." The Guardian said. "Beware of lizard."
'Lizard?' Moon's eyes widened as she remembered a particular lizard and spun around. "Toffee! What do you know of him?"
"I know lizards grow back their limbs and that the one that cannot is not happy." The Guardian answered.
Frustrated with his lack of clear answers Queen Moon turned away and used her Dimensional Scissors to return to Mewni.
"You can't change what has happened; Queen Moon and you can't change what will happen." The Guardian said solemnly.

"All right. The prisoners are all accounted for and will be shipped off to Global Security Prison."
While Comrade Red and Hector Con Carne had escape the other Injustice Friends and Major Doctor Ghastly had been captured and were now secured enough to be transported the most secure prison on the planet.
"All right." Chief Fizz nodded, motioning for the guards to move the prisoners into the airship.
One by one the villains were placed in separate cells, their arms and legs shackled and power inhibitors placed on them to ensure they could not use their powers.
"Come Diablos." A guard dragged Diablos onto the ship and pushed him into his cell.
"They are in your hands, Agent Honeydew." Fizz said to the agent in charge of the transportation.
Agent Honeydew had short black hair with a curl in it, and wore a blue Global Security jumpsuit. "Thank you, Chief Fizz. The world will rest easy knowing these criminals are behind bars."
Xxx
Once the ship was in the air all was quite.
The criminals were locked up, the crew was at their posts and they would make it to the prison on schedule.
"All right. We will be arriving in an hour, Agent Honeydew." The pilot reported.
"Good. We'll run constant checks on the pri-" Honeydew was cut off by a strange banging sound that rocked the ship. "What was that?"
A klaxon rang out; informing the crew something was wrong.
"Intruder alert!" The pilot called out.
Honeydew opened the door, looking down where the cells resided. Her eyes widened when she saw Doctor Diablos standing in the middle of the hallway. "Diablos?"
The armored villain smashed a door down and pulled out…himself?
"What?!" Honeydew pulled out her gun. "You were never captured!"
"Captured?" Diablos turned around, facing Honeydew. "Doctor Diablos cannot be captured."
His armored started glowing fiery orange and with a wave of his hand the cell doors exploded, releasing all of the Injustice Friends and Ghastly.
"It's about time." Mental Mouse complained. "What took you so long?"
"She-Thing sore from being cramped." She-Thing mumbled.
"Move." Diablos said, summoning a portal. "You are lucky Red even thinks you are worth the effort after your failure."
"And your robot was not much better. Guess that makes you as much a failure us." Mental Mouse snickered as he entered the portal.
"Failure?" Doctor Diablos narrowed his eyes. "Impossible. Doctor Diablos never fails."
"Hold it!" Honeydew shouted, shooting at the villains.
Diablos made a single gesture and the agent's pistol was heated so much it instantly melted.
"Give the major our regards." Diablos said, following his comrades into the portal.
Honeydew watched as the portal vanished, leaving her alone on a prison ship that been liberated of its prisoners.
Her superiors were not going to be happy.

"Delicious! And it's so fun eating with these tiny wands!" A plate of fortune cookies was set on Star and Marco's table. "Oh, and there's cookies too!" Star quickly ate a cookie and spat out the paper. "Bleh. I don't like the filling."
"These are fortune cookies." Marco explained with a smile. "They can magically predict the future."
Marco could not help but inwardly laugh at the surprised look on Star's face. The last few months of living with her had kept him from living a life of dull routine, especially when she could conjure a pool in the middle of the house. She was just full of excitement and looked at everything around her in absolute awe.
It also helped she was an expert fighter, able to take on monsters coming to steal her wand but Marco had to keep her from going out to look for Grimm to fight.
Idiot monsters were one thing but bloodthirsty Grimm were another.
Still, Star got along great with Jackie and Janna and she had her wand with her if there any Grimm around. Echo Creek didn't get a lot of Grimm since everyone in the city was so positive, including his own parents but there were the occasional hunters and of course the local police to help make sure the town was protected.
"What?! No way!" Star exclaimed.
Marco ate a cookie and read his fortune. "A friend will greet you with a smile."
"Aww, how sweet." Star gushed and smiled
Marco gasped. "See? The cookies know all."
"No, it can't be." Star broke her cookie. "Think positive and good luck will come your way."
As Mrs. Liao passed the table with a box of fortune cookies Star jumped out of her seat and walked up to her. "More cookies!"
"They're stale." Mrs. Liao pointed out dully.
"Gimme!"
Mrs. Liao gave Star the cookies. "You're a weird girl."
"Wow, Star. Good luck did come your way." Marco said, playing along.
"It did, it did! These are incredible!" Star held the cookies up to her face with a frozen smile.
"...Star?"
Nearby a pair of yellow eyes spied her from a nearby table. "So that is Moon's daughter. She looks exatly like her mother…And even acts like her at one point."
Right before her mother was killed.
'A shame but a necessary sacrifice.' Toffee thought, remembering Comet Butterfly. 'I thought after Comet, vanquishing the rest of Mewni would be easy and paid the price for my arrogance. Of course I have no intention of making the same mistake again.'
When he heard Moon's daughter was on Earth Toffee was quick to follow, silently observing her and her skills. His appearance made the people here believe he was a Mobian and that made moving about easier.
'She uses the wand even better than her mother and she can even cast her own spells. Moon's daughter is truly a prodigy.' Toffee analyzed her abilities. 'There's no way that simpleton Ludo will ever able to take the wand. Fortunately he's hiring an expert on 'evil efficiency'.'
And Toffee prided himself on efficiency.

"Call me crazy, but, maybe she's not that bad after all." Dipper whispered to himself once he was out of earshot of Pacifica and her father. He looked down at his mirror, hearing the ghost laughing. "What are you laughing about, man? I defeated you."
"You've been had, boy. You remind me of me a hundred and fifty years ago."
Dipper frowned. "What do you mean?"
"One hundred and fifty years ago this day, the Northwests asked us lumber-folk to build them a mansion atop the hill. We were told it would be a service to the town that once a year they would throw a grand party, and all would share in the bounty. It took years of backbreaking labor and sacrifice, but when it was time for the grand party they promised the common folk of the town, they refused to let us in.
With the trees gone, the mudslides began. While they partied and laughed, I was swept away by the storm and our despair brought forth the Grimm! And so I said with final breath, 'One-fifty years I'll return from death, and if the gate's still closed to town, wealthy blood will stain the ground!' A curse passed down until this day."
"So, wait a minute. The Northwests knew this haunting was coming, and they tricked me into helping them to avoid ghostly justice?" Dipper asked once the ghost was finished with his tale, realizing that he had been tricked. "I'll be right back."
Xxx
"Thank you all for coming." Preston Northwest greeted warmly and grandly to the remaining contestants. "I see we are missing a few contestants."
Gilligan and Spicer.
Spicer has thrown himself in with that brat Gideon and Gilligan was still in whatever dimension the Master's friend threw him and Kane in.
"No matter though, we are to continue on. Now then, the point of this contest was to select the best and brightest individuals for a special project that will change the world as we know it. You've all had a glimpse of what change is to come and now I will show you." Preston continued.
They had gathered in the large basement of the Northwest Mansion and behind Preston was a pair of giant doors.
"Behind these doors lies the beginning of our journey." Preston clapped his hands and the doors opened. "Step forward and be prepared."
Dexter and Double D stepped forward, followed by Double D's parents and Dexter's grandfather. Preston kept his smile hidden as they walked through the doors and into the tunnel.
The plan was in motion.
Xxx
"Time to start." Gideon slipped his mask on and threw a metal sphere into the Mystery Shack.
The sphere exploded, releasing a gas through the shack.
"Wha-What's gon…" Grunkle Stan had been awake long enough to hear the explosion but the gas knocked him out before he could do anything else.
"And now." Gideon held up a few sticks of dynamite. "The safe."
Xxx
"Northwests!" The mansion doors opened, revealing an angry Dipper. "You have some explaining to do!"
He looked around, finding no sign of Preston but spotted Pacifica walked into another room and followed after her. "Hey, Pacifica!"
Nearby Mandy spotted Dipper following after Pacifica and moved to follow them but someone got in her way. Mandy narrowed her eyes at the person, seeing it was a boy around her age dressed in a fine looking tuxedo, neatly combed orange hair, a large nose and sharp blue eyes staring back at her red eyes.
"Hello there." The boy greeted, not even flinching at her glare. "I am surprised to see a pretty girl like you all alone."
"And I prefer to be alone." Mandy retorted. "Now get out of my way."
"Or what, Miss Mandy?" The boy asked. "Mandy of the Fallen."
Mandy stared at the boy, not showing any shock to the fact he knew her. "And you are?"
Pacifica turned around, watching as Dipper ran up to her. "Hello, Dipper. Didn't think you'd actually come back."
Dipper accusingly pointed at Pacifica. "You lied to me! All of you did! All you had to do was let the townsfolk into the party and you could've broken the curse! But you made me do your dirty work instead!"
"Technically I didn't. Preston wanted the ghost out of his hair while I couldn't have cared less." Pacifica shrugged indifferently. "If the ghost burned this mansion down it wouldn't' have mattered to me at all."
"Then why lie? If you don't care what your father wants why cover for him?" Dipper demanded.
"Gave me an excuse to invite you to the mansion." Pacifica answered, smirking. "I was hoping you'd spice up this boring party while he was off with his contests for the others."
"The others? You mean Hoagie and the contestants? What is your father up to?" Dipper glared but felt something was very wrong.
"He's not my father."
Dipper was confused. "What?"
"He may have sired me but he was never my father." Pacifica sighed. "I suppose I should fully introduce myself."
She lifted her hair covering her forehead and when she did Dipper paled when he saw the Cipher eye. "That eye…"
"The Eye of Cipher." Pacifica nodded. "I am Pacifica Cipher, daughter of Bill Cipher."
"B-Bill Cipher?!" Dipper stepped back, jumping as the door behind him closed. "That's impossible! Bill's a demon and you're a human!"
"My birth mother was human and so is my male sire but I am not and I never was. Before I was even born my father, Bill Cipher appeared in my mind and made me who I am today." Pacifica explained as her eyes became yellow slits. "I am my father's herald and the one who will bring him into this world to bring an end to all order."
