Opening File: Exterminator
The project was conceived in secret by Sammael to create a being powerful enough to slay threats as powerful as the Elementals, the Asgardians and other deity like beings. The project began with the creation of the gauntlet weapon known as Purgatory that was given to Hoss Delgado who proved it was effective when he nearly killed the current Te Xuan Ze in battle. The gauntlet was retrieved and thus the second stage of the project began. Using advanced cybernetics combined with magical enchantments from Sammael the next phase was creating a sword with a high frequency blade and the magical ability to negate any form of energy.
The blade was given the name Void.
Mr. Robot was chosen to test the prototype of this weapon during the mission to retrieve the Elementals. The third phase to create a weapon to channel the energy in the form of Blood Mist. The final step was the modify Purgatory to transfer the energy it has absorbed through the Black Dust shard into a suit of armor that would give the one who wears its enhanced speed and strength to the point it would even match an Asgardian. A suitable candidate has yet to be picked.

"Hey, there. It's been a while and instead of a few words of wisdom this time we got a bit of a challenge." TOM said as the file closed. "GrimmFall's gotten pretty big, dozens of characters, dozens of awesome fights, super powers and weapons. But they are missing something that every other hero story usually as."
TOM tapped a switch and a new window appeared on the screen.

"To all the people out there watching we are calling on your creativity to pick one of many songs out that can fit the beloved characters of our story." TOM pointed to the camera. "Got a favorite character with a great song to go with them as they take on bad guys? Submit your idea and next time they appear in a fight they'll have an action to go with it. Of course, some might have their own already."
The screen showed a recording of Garnet singing 'Made of Love' and changed to Megas fighting Grimm with the opening for Megas XLR playing followed by Kim Possible and her opening song.
"Still, you got ideas, we'll listen to those ideas and with a bit of music this story will be lot action packed." TOM said before something happened.
"HEY!" Control Freak and X both lean their faces against the screen. "DON'T WE GET OUR OWN THEME SONGS?!"
"Get lost." TOM tapped his chair controls, cutting Control Freak and X's transmission. "Glad the new security is working."
"So am I." SARA said happily.

"Wait, you are telling me Pacifica is half Bill Cipher?"
A young Nyx nodded, sitting next to Hoagie on a fluffy pillow boulder. "I met her a bit after I starter learning Chaos magic. From what I understand, Bill conned the entire Northwest family into serving him all the way back to when Gravity Falls was founded. The Northwests were already a family of cheats, liars and con artists which made them the perfect pawns for Bill."
"Considering he conned me and my family into this stupid contests that fits." Hoagie grumbled. "So what did he do to Pacifica?"
"He bonded with her while her mom was still pregnant with her. He was literally the first thought in her head and he went about shaping her mind to be exactly like his and through a ritual that sacrificed her mom Pacifica was made into a human Bill Cipher. Much like how he did with those Blind Eye idiots he molded her Aura, inserting a bit of himself into it but he took it a step further, making it so that Pacifica's entire Aura permanently fused with the piece of himself that he gave her." Nyx explained. "From that point forward Pacifica Northwest was pretty much dead and Pacifica Cipher was born, a demon in a human body."
"That's sick." Hoagie shook his head. "And she's completely devoted to Bill?"
"Yeah. When I first met her she acted like we were best friends…In some ways I wonder if we actually were. Pacifica showed me the Blind Eye, the weird things in Gravity Falls and she even showed me her father's plans. I guess she didn't think I'd do anything about it or if she knew I couldn't do anything about thanks to Klarion." Nyx sighed. "We hung out and there were times when Pacifica actually acted…human. I am still not even sure if it was an act or of there is still a part of her that's still somehow human after everything that was done to her."
"You…You feel bad for her, don't you?" Hoagie asked.
"I do. In a lot of ways Pacifica reminds me of myself and how I am bound to Klarion and to one day become a Chaos Lord. When that happens I probably won't be remotely human anymore." Nyx stared at the ground. "I'll have forgotten everything and Pacifica…Well, the one that you and Dipper knew never existed to begin with."
Hoagie patted Nyx on the back. "I know we'll find a way to stop this. If we can get out of here we can save you from Klarion and maybe we can even save Pacifica from Bill."
Nyx managed a small smile but deep down she knew it was hopeless. Pacifica had been completely twisted into a monster by Bill who shared his insanity and megalomania with her, turning her into a clone of him.
Bill Cipher was a monster and Pacifica had been made in his image.

"Living Bullet is transporting the archer and half breed to GrimmFall as we speak. Just as you had expected."
Sammael turned away from the glass window, regarding Moloch with a smirk. "Yes. Tam Sung is aware that we know of other mystical places with the resources to return them home and he does not want to risk them being found and destroyed. So he's forced to rely on the one possible way that neither side is in possession of."
"The Gem of Bond, as you surmised." Moloch noted. "It is the only way known to Tam Sung to return the displaced subjects of Van Kleiss to their home dimensions."
"And the Gem of Bond can only be found by one individual: Phil Ken Sebben. That is why they go to him but will he help them? Sebben has actively avoided seeking the Gem of Bond before because he knows it would remain out of anyone's hands, including ours. To use the Gem of Sight to find it he would have to risk us sensing it if anyone who finds it is found worthy to wield it." Sammael paced around the table. "It would have to be in a location where emotional bonds are strong and if a bond between the gem and potential wielder is found it would shine bright enough for us all to see."
"So this is why you had Scaramouche destroy the portal but leave them alive. You wanted to force Tam Sung, a noble grandmaster to explore every possible option to aid returning them to their home dimension."
"Including the option of finding one of the Spiral Gems." Sammael finished, looking very pleased. "Especially the most elusive of them all."

"Here we are."
The doors opened, revealing an underground lab of some kind with a giant machine, the likes of which the young surprised geniuses had never seen before. The main section was a large, inverted metal triangle with lights dotting along its edge. There was a large hole in the center and symbols encircling the hole. The geniuses recognized that the symbols represented the Behenian fixed stars, which were a selection of fifteen stars considered especially useful for magical applications in medieval astrology.
The bottom tip of the triangle was connected to a base with many large thick cords.
"What is this?" Dexter asked, looking absolutely fascinated now.
His grandfather on the other hand scowled, recognizing the portal.
"This is the culmination of over half a century research into creating a gateway leading to infinite worlds." Preston Northwest answered grandly. "And to herald a new understanding of the universe."
"A dimensional portal?" Dexter and Double D marveled at the portal.
Double D's parents looked equally impressed while Dexter's grandfather watched Preston carefully.
"How is this possible?" Double D asked, looking over every corner of the machines and finding nothing about it to be fake.
"The portal works by locking onto a tear, a place where the barrier between dimensions is weak. By locking onto that tear the portal will open a hole and allow us to see what lies beyond this dimension." Preston stepped forward, walking around the room. "And with it, we will find the Nexus of Reality."
"The Nexus?" Dexter questioned.
"A point between realities where all energies of the multi-verse intersect." Preston answered with a smile. "With it you would be travel to different realities and understand the Multi-Verse. Ultimate knowledge and ultimate power. Of course it has been damaged and must be reactivated before it can work."
Dexter was grinning and rubbing his hands together. "Show us the schematics."
"Unfortunately, we only have one third of the schematics but after tonight you will have the complete set."

Outside the Mystery Shack a hand sprouted out from the ground.
Slowly an arm crawled out, followed by the rest of the body. The skin was blue and rotting, it eyes were red and it wore a torn and ripped tuxedo like outfit.
The eyes glowed bright blue and the voice of Bill Cipher spoke through the corpse's mouth. "Hey there, Dead Al! Got a job for you. There are two boys in the shack that want to see a magic show. Go in there and show them real magic."
The glow faded, leading the red eyes staring at the shack. "Magic…show."
Xxx
"So this is their plan."
With a wave of her hand Miss Spell and her husband were back in their hero outfits, standing in the basement of the Northwest Mansion and seeing the large doors that were opened by Spell's magic, revealing a tunnel.
"I sense Cipher's taint here and this tunnel is obviously important." Kath Rouge, better known as Miss Spell said, lowering her hand.
"Then we better hurry." Phan Tone suggested.
"I do not think so."
The two heroes spun around, watching as cloaked figures stepped out of mirror like portals and surrounded them.
One took off their hood, revealing Blind Ivan as he grinned. "Miss Spell and Phan Tone of the Justice Friends. It is an honor to meet you both."
Miss Spell narrowed her eyes. "Your souls…I can see the taint of Bill Cipher in them."
"Yes, we carry our god in us." Blind Ivan said grandly. "But enough about us. Bud."
The cloaked man next to him spread his arms out and a mirror portal appeared under the two heroes who cried out as they fell in, followed by the members of the Blind Eye Society.

"Pacifica!"
Dipper knew he was taking a huge risk in asking for Pacifica's help but unless the Lumberjack Ghost was stopped the entire mansion would be burned down with everyone trapped inside as wooden statues. The ghost was not likely let himself be trapped in a mirror like before and he couldn't hope to exercise it in time.
"Hello there."
"Gah!" Dipper jumped, hearing Pacifica from behind him and turned to see her grinning face. "Pacifica!"
Pacifica giggled. "You're so cute when you are terrified."
"Pacifica…" Dipper took a deep breath. "I need your help."
"Hm…" Pacifica tapped her chin in thought and looked intrigued. "My help?"
"I need you to open the party gates to life the curse." Dipper explained. "It's the only way to save everyone."
"Really?" Pacifica's smiled widened slightly. "So what will you give me in return?"
"What?"
Pacifica giggled and grabbed Dipper by the hand, pulling him into a nearby room. "Come on. I've got something to show."
She pulled out a flashlight and showed Dipper a series of paintings, all of them showing Northwests lying, scheming, backstabbing and conning their way through history.
"This is legacy I was born into. My human's sire glorious lineage. Every one of them playing their part as the worst chain in the entire world. Of course, once my father arrives none of that will really matter." Pacifica faced Dipper. "So, with that mind what makes you think I would lift even a pinkie to save everyone out there?"
Dipper was struggling to find a reason for her to help but he was coming up empty. Pacifica had no empathy, no compassion and no heart.
She was a demon in human skin.
And a demon he might have to make a deal with.
"What about making a deal?"
Pacifica raised an eyebrow. "A what?"
"Bill needed something from me when he made his deal with me and the same was with Hoagie. So, let's..." Dipper gulped. "Bargain."
"A bargain?" Pacifica slowly paced around Dipper with an intrigued smile. "Well, well, well, you surprise me, Dipper. You would actually make a deal with me?"
"To save my sister and my friends I would." Dipper nodded.
Pacifica stopped in front of him. "And what do you offer in return?"
"Whatever you want. You do me this favor and I'll owe you." Dipper clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He exhaled and looked relaxed now. "Anything you want."
"Anything I want." Pacifica mused, bringing a finger to her lips. "Dipper Pines, you really are an intriguing human."
"So you'll do it?" Dipper asked hopefully.
Pacifica held up her right hand that was immediately engulfed in blue flames. "Shake on it and we have a deal."
Dipper stared at the hand, lifting his own hand to shake…but stopped halfway. "I want to make some terms."
Pacifica raised her eyebrow again. "Terms?"
"Before we seal the deal I have a few conditions." Dipper clarified.
"You are treading on thin ice, Dipper. I have nothing to lose if I refuse this deal." Pacifica retorted before smiling again. "But for the sake of keeping me interested I will hear them out."
"One: you set the gates open and don't hurt anyone once the ghost is banished." Dipper began, waiting for Pacifica's reply.
"Hmm…Done." Pacifica shrugged. "Easy."
"Two: you don't use me to hurt my sister, Grunkle Stan or my friends. If you want to be mean to them like you have been before that's fine but I will not do anything to hurt them." Dipper continued.
"Hmm…Ballsy, considering you said you would do anything but I'll give you that one. It's not like I need anything special for them." Pacifica conceded. "Anything else?"
"Just one." Dipper sighed. "Whatever Bill's planning, I want you to guarantee that Mabel, Grunkle Stan and my friends won't get hurt."
Pacifica considered that one. "Let me see…On the one hand I could just say no and drop the whole deal, leaving you and the rest to fry. But on the other hand, ignoring certain conditions I can have anything I want from you."
"Is it a deal?" Dipper asked.
"Well…" Pacifica trailed off slowly as she lowered her hand, making Dipper think she was backing out but surprised him when she brought it back up. "Fine! It's a deal!"
"Really?" Dipper asked.
"Don't worry. Look, no fingers crossed." Pacifica showed Dipper both her hands and none of them were crossed. "Shooting Star along with her sweet little friends will have nothing to fear. In fact they might even go along with it when it happens."
"I doubt that." Dipper said, holding out his hand. "Deal?"
Pacifica shook Dipper's hand with her flaming one, sealing the deal. "Deal."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Bill laughed as he watched the deal between Dipper and Pacifica. "She really is a chip off the old block."
"So, you're not mad that she went and promised to protect Pine Tree's family from you?" Klarion asked.
"Hey, it's a business deal. You got to always be prepared for conditions in the deals you make. Besides, who says I have to hurt them?" Bill shrugged. "They won't feel a thing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
