"Oh man…I feel like I have a headache…Do robots even get headaches?" TOM rubbed the back of his head while staggering slightly. "Any idea what happened?"

The holographic avatar of SARA appeared in front of him. "Some kind of temporal distortion, according to my scans. It looks like it originated from Earth."

"No surprise there." TOM murmured as he sat down. "You traced the source?"

"Nowhere Kansas." SARA answered.

"Van Kleiss." TOM muttered.

"Actually no. We still managed to receive and record…Our ship is equipped with quantum and temporal scanning so we were recording even as we were frozen. From what the records say, Van Kleiss was defeated already."

"Well, chock one up for the good guys." TOM chuckled.

"I would but we have another problem."

TOM sighed. "Ain't that always true?"

"It looks like several forces were unaffected by the temporal field and have been moving during the time freeze." SARAH displayed a map of Nowhere, showing a large array of red dots at the mountain.

"Is that I think it is?" TOM asked, standing up from his chair.

"It is." SARA nodded. "The Grimm army, led no doubt by the Fallen…Have reached the Nowhere Mountains."

"Damn it."

Unknown Dimension

It has finally happened.

The magic that sealed him away for thousands of years had as he was drawing power from the rift that has now opened to the Nightmare Realm with the help of Bill Cipher's 'spawn'.

He could feel the power flowing through him, regaining his strength as the chains that bound him to this accursed cage that was forged by the Lords of Order were corroding away, the runes faded and cracks on the cuffs appeared. He groaned in relief as the weight of the chains were much lighter than ever. Moving his arms as the cuffs and collar crumbled to pieces, the muscles in his arms responded by instincts, causing the heavy chains to loosen and fall with no means of holding him any longer..

After thousands of years, waiting and planning, his patience has finally been worth the effort for this day.

Canaletto was free at last.

"Free!" The chaotic entity shouted, raising his hands with a sign of victory, spreading his appendages without the confines of the chains. "At last!" The darkness began to spread all around the chamber. "My time has come!"

He will finish what he had started eons ago, for chaos to spread once again. And as his power has been released, it would release an echo across the dimensions for those who have felt his awakening.

Xxx

Ragnarok felt a surge of power and turned to his fellow followers after being informed of the Pines family's return from the Infinity Train. "Do you feel it? The rift has opened. Our lord and master is at last freed!"

The hooded members felt the same and rejoiced at his freedom, they would begin making their leave to await further instructions with the coming battle between the ancient gods. While also letting the escaped demons run amok of the ill-fated town of Gravity Falls to their amusement.

Xxx

Magical Realm

Within Glossaryck's realm, the ancient sorcerer of magic let out a groan as he felt it while accidentally dropping the pudding cup he was eating. He knew for certain Canaletto would return but never knew how exactly, though a part of had hoped he would have had the sense to stay locked up. He was surprisingly spooked when he thought it was just his imagination but was indeed real. "He's finally free. And not even 5 minutes and he's already caused me to ruin some perfectly good pudding"

If he really is free from his prison, Canaletto could destroy everything, and with his luck he'd be the one stuck cleaning up the mess! Glossaryck sighs in frustration while massaging his head and lets out a heavy sigh. "I need a vacation, guess this means I have to call the kids about putting a melodramatic spider bird back in his cage."

But having this nagging feeling they would not be enough to stop him, Canaletto is enough to give him a workout to say the least, so he has doubts the High Commission could handle it as he is aware of their actions, including the secrets they've kept from the royal family. But he needed their help for certain individuals he believed could stop him.

Nowhere
Red Caps Hideout

As the Battle of Nowhere progressed, almost everyone had been oblivious to what was happening during the time dilation effect. Some members of the Red Cap Syndicate felt nauseous for a reason but recovered and had to continue on with the job they were given by their client, Van Kleiss, unaware of what had occurred at that moment as well as his demise.

"Well, my friends, you're gonna see lots of action the likes of which you've never seen with our new services to Mr. Van Kleiss, and we're all going to be very rich!" The leading member of the group clasped his hands together, grinning in glee with potential profit they will make from this war and also to restore the reputation of their name after the Huntsmen and heroes ruined their business a while ago. Now with a powerful partner and most of their members being made into what were called EVOs, they were certain to be invincible. "With our new upgrades, we could take over the GOBB syndicate and earn our place in the League of Super criminals!"

"YOU BET!" The members cheered in agreement,

"And beat the Justice Friends."

"HURRAY!"

"And the Huntsman Association!"

"HIP! HIP! HOORAH!" The member cheered, raising their fists and weapons, or whatever appendage they have from their new forms to raise the morale, confident that nothing can stop them.

"And the Vikings!"

Someone proclaimed out of excitement, yet suddenly everyone but one swiftly vanished, folllowed by a gust of wind to blow the sheets of paper from the tables.

"OH NO!"

"Eh?" He looked out, baffled and confused of what caused them to run and hide.

"Never say Vikings! Not in this syndicate!" The boss shouted, peeking out of their hiding place within the dug up basement.

For anyone who had known about the Vikings from the Archipelago they dared not speak of the events when their gangs once tried to use the islands for base of operations, only to run into the Vikings, presumed to be a bunch of primitives that should have died out centuries ago. But clearly they were more modernized than the outsiders realized and rode with monsters described from legends. And even if they didn't have them, the Vikings made short work of them, running with their pants down and fought like a raging storm. It was one of the most humiliating events they dare not speak of, and since then had a fear for the Vikings to ever leave their territories.

"Those Vikings... they're the evil eye! Worse than the Grimm! Like a storm or a hurricane! Them and their armies of monsters at the sea. And don't get me started on those brutish scot-"

"Hey! I think I see something coming!" One of the members from the lookout called out. "They suddenly appeared out of nowhere and coming towards us!"

"Is it Global Justice?"

"Huntsmen?"

"No, possibly some cars, military tanks, copters and stuff." The scout replied, giving his description of what was out there.

"Ha! The World Council must be desperate for another attack, probably those we can squ-uuuuhhhh..." Taking a look out the window made his face turn completely pale, his face dropped with his bottom jaw hanging from what he was seeing before them.

"In fact they're numerous!"

There was no military force they recognized, there were cars, mixed with tanks, heavy artillery, jets and bikes belonging to the Racing Drones and Vehicons were coming straight towards them with no sign of slowing down.

"Evacuate the campsite and hurry! If we get out, outrun them without wasting time!" However they were too slow to react while in a state of panic, running around the camp until it was overrun by the army of drones. Fortunately for many to have been underground while taking some injuries, the leader of the group was seething with rage to see their base out in the open and crushed by the mysterious army.

"Well, at least it wasn't the Vikings, huh?" The new recruit thought it was a sign of relief.

"Grr...yeah."

Gravity Falls
Mystery Shack

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Pacifica Cipher laughed maniacally as she smashed the Rift.

Dipper and Mabel both gasped as Stan pulled them back along with his grandchildren but it didn't matter. The rest of the group that had emerged from the train all reacted in their own way.

Double D summoned Armatae's armor.

Scrooge raised his cane.

Tambry stepped back, unable to do anything.

It didn't matter if she tried anyways.

The rift tore open into reality, creating a massive tear in the sky that led into the Nightmare Realm.

And as soon it did, he appeared.

"At last! At long, long last! The gateway between worlds has opened! The event one billion years prophesized has come to pass! The day has come! The world is finally mine!" The shadowed form of Bill Cipher laughed as maniacally as his 'daughter' as he hovered right over all of Gravity Falls.

The townspeople looked on with worried features as the wind blew.

"What's going on?! What is that?!" Dipper exclaimed, trembling in Grunkle Stan's arms.

"We're too late! It's the end of the world." Ford answered with a horrified look on his face.

Bill rose up, cackling maniacally.

"You better believe it." Pacifica said, watching with unending pride from finally seeing her 'father's' plans finally come to fruition before looking at Dipper. "And now I am calling in the debt you owe me, Dipper."

Dipper's eyes widened as his friends and family looked at him.

"What is she talking about, Dipper?" Mabel asked.

"I…I…" Dipper stuttered, unable to explain.

"Oh, don't be so shy." Pacifica leaned forward, her lips curling into a demented grin. "With my dad finally here, how can we not celebrate?"

"HAHAHAHAH! Does anyone hear it?" Bill cackled in the sky. "The sound…of WEDDING BELLS?!"

Xxx

Nowhere
Van Kleiss' Fortress
Portal Chamber

"What was that?"

"I think I have a headache."

"I feel a little nauseous here."

"Do you bad guys gave an evil janitor around?"

"What was that?"

"Everyone!"

The surviving heroes, hunters and villains all turned to see Raven, Scotty and Sebben standing at the entrance to the chamber.

"You're back." Major Glory landed in front of them, being the first to greet the Scotsman but noticed his teammates were also back but on the other side of the chamber. "Did you stop Van Kleiss?"

"Aye." Scotty nodded. "Golden boy's gone."

This revelation caused everyone to pause.

Most of the heroes were relieved and surprisingly some of the villains felt the same way.

"Why am I not surprised?" Grodd asked dryly.

"I knew it would flop." The Ghostfreak form of Shade muttered while hiding in the shadows. "It always does."

While everyone was expressing their own relief and opinions over Van Kleiss' defeat, Rex Salazar was silent.

Van Kleiss was gone?

Just like that?

Sure, he was an enemy and was Rex's own enemy for all the things he did back in his own world…But Rex wasn't sure how exactly he should feel with this knowledge.

Relief?

Happiness?

Even anger or sadness that he was not the one who brought down Van Kleiss?

Biowulf and Skalamander were both silent, likely contemplating that the man they had been working under for a long time was now gone.

Would they want to avenge him or would they finally stop fighting for him?

"Listen, to any people who were brought and recruited by Van Kleiss. I know the decision to join him was likely not your own. He is gone now and with him is his control over you." Sebben stepped forward, addressing the members of the now fractured Pack. "Whatever you decide to do now is up to you but there is something everyone here should know."

BOOM!

Whatever Sebben was about to say next was cut by an explosion that shook the fortress.

"Now what?" Valhallen muttered.

"We have company." Scotty barked out. "We got flash frozen in time and now the Grimm are here!"

Major Glory's eyes widened. "What?!"

"It seems Sammael was planning ahead of everyone here." Sebben remarked as the fortress shook again and alarm klaxons went off.

Xxx

They were everywhere.

The massive army of Grimm surrounded the mountains of Nowhere, snarling and roaring while lightning flashed in the dark clouds gathering overhead.

And out of those clouds came the massive Grimm ship known to a handful as the Galleon.

Inside the ship, red eyes glinted at the sight of the mountains while the owner's lips curled up into a satisfied smile.

"I say we gave them quite the surprise this time." Sammael commented as he stood up from his chair, folding his arms behind his back and took a few steps forward.

General Skarr stepped out of the shadows, bowing as Sammael walked past him. "The Racing Drones and Eggman's forces are right behind us, sir."

"Good, General." Sammael walked out onto the bow of the ship, standing just above where the Grimm dragon head was growling. "Take command of the frontal assault force. Establish a perimeter and get the Grimm into attack formation."

"With pleasure." Skarr grinned as walked forward, walking past Sammael and overlooked the army.

He took a deep breath…and roared.

All around the Nowhere Mountains, the Grimm became still and silent as they heard the roar of their masters. Skarr then held up his arms and focused, mentally directing the Grimm who quickly began moving, taking formation on the ground while the aerial Grimm circled around the Galleon. Sammael then gave a mental command to the Galleon. The dragon head snarled as it began to descend towards the ground in front of the arm.

Once it was close enough to the ground, it hovered in mid-air.

"Gentlemen, it's time." Sammael said with a grand smile as his subordinates marched out behind him.

Xxx

"What's going on now?" Keanu asked as Extor pulled out his tablet.

"I've already hacked into the computer system of the fortress. Bringing up the security feed…now." Extor protected a large holographic image of what was happening outside.

It caused many to pale in fright at what they were seeing.

(Dragula by Rob Zombie Starts)

"Oh my Glob." Many of the Heroes and Hunters muttered in pure shock, seeing the army of Grimm that was so large it almost looked like the ground surrounding the Nowhere Mountains had been engulfed in a black sea.

Xxx

"Tyrian, the scanner drones are detecting the incoming Grimm army. You'd best leave before they arrive." Watts said from Tyrian's scroll. "I believe we have seen enough."

"Understood." Tyrian said, watching as the screen switched to show the army of Grimm approaching.

But before he turned to leave, he stopped and watched as a ship, a literal large sailing boat that was built around a Grimm emerged from the clouds and came close to the ground.

(See GrimmFall: Remnants of Evil by D. N. Works)

Archangel

"Commander! The Grimm army has reached Nowhere Mountains!"

Heero's eyes narrowed at the sight of Grimm surrounding the mountains. "We're too late. That time field…It gave them the time they needed."

"Look!" Commander Alaric pointed at the screen as something large emerged from the clouds.

Everyone was stunned to see a massive old style ship with large sails and even wings emerging from the clouds.

But that wasn't enough.

There was also a giant Grimm head in the shape of a dragon snarling and roaring as it slowly descended to the ground.

"It's a Grimm…" Alaric muttered with wide eyes. "Or is it built around a Grimm."

(See GrimmFall: Intertwined Legacies by Zaft-Convoy)

Xxx

Everyone inside the portal chamber watched as the Grimm ship hovered above the ground.

Then they came.

Those that recognized them knew them as either members of the infamous and mysterious organization known as the Invisible Hand. All of them were lifted into the air with a red light surrounding them and slowly they descended onto the ground.

Xxx

Tyrian growled as he recognized Katz was amongst the group, remembering the cat Mobian that had almost killed him in battle and vice-versa.

What happened next caused him to freeze.

Xxx

"Man, look at them." Scorpia muttered. "Those Troll Grimm are carrying weapons like they're actual soldiers."

She was right as the screen zoomed in on Troll Grimm matching forth, holding swords, axes and spears and marching in standard army formation. In addition to Salem and her cabal watching Catra had called up Dark Kat so Satyra could watch the spectacle as a way to gather information as well.

Everyone watched as a Grimm...ship came down from the sky, hovering just above the army.

"Whoa. Is that a Grimm ship? Like a Grimm built as an actual ship or is it built around a Grimm?" Scorpia gaped.

Salem was silent as she observed the ship that was admittedly impressive with the Grimm dragon head sticking out of the bow and wings sprouting from the side.

Then he came.

Xxx

Archangel

"It's him…" Heero muttered, remembering the person he was seeing from before and the fear he had felt back then.

It was back now upon seeing him now leading an entire army of monsters.

Xxx

Dead I am the one

Exterminating son

Slipping through the trees

Strangling the breeze

Tyrian's eyes widened as a single figure emerged from the ship, hovering up from the bow of the ship and then slowly descended down to the ground in front of the Grimm army and the gathered group that had landed first. Troll Grimm banged their weapons on the ground while other Grimm roared as the figure landed perfectly on the ground.

"My Queen?" He gasped.

Xxx

Salem and the others simply stared at the...man who stood in front of the Grimm army, staring up with a confident grin.

Only he was no ordinary looking man.

He wore a black bodysuit with red lines underneath white bone like armor covering his torso with white boned gauntlets over his arms. A red eye was glaring from his chest and his skin was pale white with dark vein markings. He had blood red hair trailing down his shoulders and red eyes...

Eyes exactly like Salem's!

"It can't be..." Hazel muttered, eyes widening in shock.

Cinder was speechless, seeing the unholy resemblance to Salem only it was a man.

"No way." Scorpia gaped.

From Catra's tablet, Dark Kat narrowed his eyes as he looked upon the man.

Xxx

Dead I am the sky

Watching angels cry

While they slowly turn

Conquering the worm

Tyrian was too stunned to move, only watching as others emerged from the ship, coming down on dark spheres that faded away upon contact with the ground, leaving behind a large group of beings who were other human, Mobian or...

"Fallen." Dark Kat spoke from Catra's tablet. "So, these are the Fallen."

They could see several individuals who were pale with similar skin markings and eyes that matched Salem's. The Grimm Queen herself was silent as she looked upon the Fallen as they stood behind the man who was obviously the leader.

So there were beings like her in this world after all!

"Impossible." Watts muttered.

"On the contrary. That is reality." Dark Kat spoke from Catra's tablet. "I can tell what they are just by looking at them. Their blood...it's that of the Grimm essence."

So could Salem.

She could somehow sense these beings for what they were.

"And him..." Dark Kat's eyes narrowed as he looked upon the man leading them. "I know who he is somehow even though I have never seen him before in my life. That...is Sammael."

Salem's eyes flashed to the man who was staring back with that grin. '...Sammael.'

Xxx

Sammael strolled forward, a confident smile on his face as he surveyed the Nowhere Mountains with his fellow Fallen and subordinates standing behind him, ready for battle.

Dead I am the pool

Spreading from the fool

Weak and want you need

Nowhere as you bleed

How he had been waiting so long for this.

Behind him, almost all of his fellow Fallen and Invisible Hand subordinates were grinning in anticipation or remaining stoic such as Jujunga or Gentle-Jim.

"Our moment is here." Sammael remarked as his eyes began to glow.

In the dark clouds, Grimm shaped like jelly fish began to flash with lightning surrounding them.

Xxx

Electrical impulses made their way to Van Kleiss' fortress and all systems surged for a second while the image projected by Extor's tablet fizzled for a mere second.

"What was that?" Keanu asked.

Extor looked over his tablet, eyes widening behind his goggles. "Sammael's Grimm…I think they're cutting into the communications here!"

"That's better."

Everyone froze as Sammael's voice spoke through all speakers inside the fortress as his eyes returned to their normal appearance.

Dead I am the rat

Feast upon the cat

Tender is the fur

Dying as you purr

Xxx

Salem and her cabal were silent upon hearing Sammael's voice through Watts' scroll.

Xxx

"Did he hack into our communications?" Alaric asked when Sammael's voice was heard through the speakers.

Heero was silent but narrowed his eyes.

"Attention to all residents in the fortress of the late Van Kleiss and to those who are no doubt listening in as we speak." Sammael began grandly. "First off, let me begin by personally thanking each and everyone one of you for the roles you played in shaping the events that have transpired and what is about to happen. Likely, most of you do not know me or my allies gathered here today but we most certainly know you. From the mightiest warriors, hunter and heroes of this world to the lost off-worlders who are here thanks to the mad ambitions of Van Kleiss who sought their powers and other gifts for his own gain."

"Rest assured, his plans have been permanently halted and he will no longer trouble this world or any world. My congratulations and thanks to those who fought him to the bitter end and allowed me to deliver the final strike that ended his miserable little life."

Scotty glared up at the image. "GET ON IT WITH IT, WILL YA?!"

Dead I am the light

"A pathetic and foolish man indeed who sought to control the entire multiverse with his little virus." Sammael chuckled. "Though I suppose I played no small part in how he came to believe he could conquer every universe in existence, considering I gave him the resources and the strategy to enact his little scheme."

Xxx

Artemis, Superboy and Raven narrowed their eyes as they heard this, now hearing Sammael admit he was the one who set Van Kleiss up to abduct people from across the multiverse.

Xxx

"So it was him that was responsible." Heero stated. "I have no doubt he was behind the attacks in our world."

Xxx

"From world to world, he observed and found people whose powers he wanted for his own. So he abducted them and brought them to his lab, only lose more than a few." Sammael chuckled. "And those who escaped would go on to help the so-called warriors of justice in this world, defending from various threats such as Billiam Milliam, the mad god Crom Cruach or the Ice Queen in their own plans for world domination. Eliminating threats that would have been a nuisance to me and it wasn't just that. There is also the off-worlders who came here with less than noble intentions."

Dead I am the dog

Hound of hell you cry

Devil on your back

I can never die

"Such as the off-worlder who nearly destroyed the city of GrimmFall with a massive tidal wave. That certainly caught everyone's eyes and there is of course the off-worlders who attacked and destroyed several villages in the Wilds and even attacked the city of Denver."

Xxx

Salem narrowed her eyes as the rest of her cabal stiffened.

"Keeping the attention of the heroes off of me and allowing me to gather this army you now see before you without anything to distract me." Sammael's grin widened slightly as he stared ahead, seemingly looking straight at them. "And I personally thank them for their hard work in keeping the attention of everyone else away from my own work. I have a feeling that they are no doubt very interested in seeing what is happening right here and now. I am sure I will not disappoint you…Salem."

"Just as I have those to thank who played in the more grey area such as the ones who threatened all out war with the Satyra."

Heero clenched a fist. "So, he wanted us fighting each other instead of him long enough to gather his army…It's likely he was responsible for the time freeze as well."

Everyone was starting to realize how they had fallen for Sammael's schemes, even if they managed to keep themselves secret from him.

Xxx

"You all played the roles I gave you perfectly, even if you didn't know anything about me or even if I had known next to nothing about you. The result was the same." Sammael chuckled. "And now we come to the climax of this long winded game."

Do it baby, do it baby

Do it baby, do it baby

Burn like an animal

"There is a purpose for all that I have done up until now and it rest underneath the feet of those who still stand in the fortress before me. For those of you who know next to nothing of me or my kind, I will grant the answers to your questions so eternal rest does not elude you in death." Sammael took a deep breath. "For starters, I have gone by many names over the centuries but the one name that has always been with me is…Sammael. I and the beginning of my kind come from an age where the world trembled under the feet of titans, where feats of magic and strength puts the strength of this so-called modern world to shame. And even beyond that, when it was still the age of the gods, even a mortal could rise up and reach the level of the divine."

"Below your feet is an object of power belonging to that age. Below your feet is the key to a plan. A grand scheme reaching back millennia, long before any of you were born." Sammael continued. "That plan is the reason why are all of you are here today, no matter what place or world you came from. And once it has been found, the rest will immediately follow."

Inside the fortress, Sebben touched his eye patch. 'The Spiral Gem of Heart, the first of the twelve. If it is found, then no matter the order the rest of the twelve will soon reveal themselves. My Gem, the Gem of Sight was found before Heart but did not cause the other Spiral Gems to be found. If Heart awakens…'

The rest of the twelve will awaken as well, feeling the pull of the mortal world calling out to them.

Then one by one, the Gems would be found by mortals seeking their powers.

Both worthy and unworthy.

To use to destroy, create or protect.

It did not matter.

All that mattered is that when all twelve are revealed…

'The world as we know it will end.' Sebben thought grimly.

"To those who are likely not to survive what is about to happen, I will grant you the end that all Huntsmen and heroes seek: a warrior's death." Sammael's eyes flashed again as he looked up at the dark clouds overhead. "And to those who survive, I invite you all to stand with me to bask in the glory of the Spiral and watch all of existence…tremble before us."

Then from the clouds, it emerged.

Almost everyone in the tower and even those watching from far away froze at the mere sight of it as it emerged from the clouds.

First came one head, resembling that of a serpentine like dragon.

Then came a second head.

Then a third but it was not the end.

A fourth appeared.

Followed by a fifth.

Then a sixth.

A seventh.

And finally an eighth head.

Eight heads, resembling the face of a dragon with bone like armor covering their eyes, small beady red glowing eyes and teeth sharper than any spear in existence. Two rows of spines traveled down the necks and each head had a crown of ten horns.

From the back rose a pair of black giant majestic wings while the eight heads snarled, sniffed and gazed around their surroundings.

Then their eyes fell on Van Kleiss' fortress before it.

Immediately one head roared, letting out a high pitched wailing roar and one by one each head followed, roaring so loud that all of Nowhere seemed to shake.

"Let us now begin." Sammael chuckled as he gave the order.

And immediately the Grimm army began to march onto the mountains of Nowhere while the Hydra flew overhead straight for the fortress while everyone inside watched in frozen terror.

Scotty only had one thing to say.

"Well, who's first?" He asked, pulling out his sword.

The battle with Van Kleiss was over.

The battle for the future was about to begin.
