Opening File: Tate McGucket
Tater 'Tate' McGucket is a stoic worker at Lake Gravity Falls, who has a strained relationship with his father, Old Man McGucket. Tate McGucket was born the Fiddleford and Emma-May McGucket in Palo Alto, California. Tate was left in the care of his mother when his father left to become a research partner to Ford Pines in Gravity Falls, Oregon. Tate later followed his father to Gravity Falls, but by this time Fiddleford, now known locally as the deranged hillbilly 'Old Man' McGucket, had lost much of his memories owing to repeated use of a Memory Gun to cope with the traumatic experience of working with Ford Pines.
As his father's mental state continued to decline, Tate cut off most contact with his father and refused to offer comment when questioned by the local newspaper. Interestingly, Tate has demonstrated various traits of intelligence, which he clearly inherited from his father:
In the Shmeb-you-unlocked page, it is revealed that he guesses the correct Oregon State Lottery numbers every year but doesn't tell anybody.
He scored so high on the SATs that the grading machine exploded.
He has the ability to predict the stock market and weather patterns.

The Gem Homeworld had emerged from the sudden attack by the Plutarkians relatively unscathed and had since rebuilt following the escape of the Elementals. Yellow Diamond had personally led Homeworld's armies against the attackers and spent the last several rotations weeding out any stragglers that had been attacking Gem colonies. In the meantime, Blue Diamond had been left on Homeworld to manage security since the escape of the Elementals had to be the biggest embarrassment for the Gem Empire since the Rebellion. She had to maintain law and order and ensure such an attack would never happen again.
As for White Diamond…
She remained inside her own ship, not moving an inch.
Not even when a certain triangle made contact with her.
"Hey there, Whitey!" Bill Cipher cackled, his yellow form heavily contrasting with the white light cast by White Diamond. "Heard you had a party here."
"Bill Cipher." White Diamond said, her face keeping its frozen smile as she beheld the dream demon before her. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Oh, just dropping in to tell you we got the ball rolling on Earth." Bill chuckled. "Portal's open, I'm throwing a part and everyone is invited, including you, Bluey and Yellow. And Whitey, it's going to set the universe on fire!"
"And Yellow's Cluster?" White Diamond asked.
"Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll…" Bill trailed off. "It might work, it might not. Everyone's just so busy here."
"I see." White Diamond closed her eyes, her serene smile remaining. "Very well. I shall send Blue and Yellow to oversee this…'party' of yours. Just remember what will happen if you disappoint us."
"Oh White…I never disappoint." Bill chuckled before disappearing.
"We'll see about that, Bill Cipher." White Diamond remarked, opening her eyes.

Tater "Tate" McGucket after managing to kick one of the Goblins away found himself taken by surprise as more pounced on his back pushing him to the ground swarming him.
"Get...off...me!" He said trying to struggle only for the Goblins to chuckle as they pined his arms and legs and one on his chest sent a wicked grin his way.
Just as things looked bad an unexpected but all too familiar voice yelled out, "GET OFF MY BOY YOU VARMINTS!"
All the Goblins to froze before the one standing on Tates chest was trapped in glowing bubble which shot to the others pinning him before than shooting off into the surrounding conflict like a crazy pin ball.
Tates focused on his savior who was standing and looking over at him in concern,
"Dad...how…why?" The man found himself asking with McGucket shaking his head but sending his son a soft smile.
"No time to chat now boy we've got some trouble making varmints to wrangle!" He declared with his signature mad grin causing Tate though confused to give a nod as McGucket helped him up and turned his attention to a crowd of surrounding goblins who were glaring murderously at McGucket who himself gave his signature cackle before hooting out.
"Alright you varmints, you remember me!?" He declared showing no fear as the crowd of surrounding Goblins all gave a glare before one shouted out, "WAKA CHAKA!"
Which seemed to act as a signal for the rest to rush the old men and his son.
Tambry gave a growl as she threw off another Goblin that tried to jump on her and punched another in the face just as he tired pouncing on her face.
"How many of these things are there!" She yelled out in annoyed exasperation that also carried a undertone of concern, knowing she and the rest of the people would get overwhelmed as her eyes roamed over the chaos, seeing so many familiar faces she's grown up around fighting for their town from sweet ol Lazy Susan to her friends Nate, Lee, Thompson, and Robbie.
Though she also saw with a worried frown that while the people were giving as good as they could these things were certainly returning the favor with a vicious edge.
"GAH! GET IT OFF! I THINK IT"S TRYING TO EAT MY BRAIN!"
Case in point she turned wide worried eyes toward Thompson who was currently dealing with a Goblin perched on his head clawing at his hair and then reacting by an instinct she kicked another Goblin sending it flying screaming into one that was currently knocking it off causing the teen to give a relieved smile as he called out, "Thanks Tambry!"
She simply gave a nod before moving to return to the battle...at least till she froze feeling eyes on her back causing her to turn her head toward the feeling where those birds…those murder sentries...her sister used to talk through...and…
She felt her eyes clench as she forced down some bile and powerful feeling of nausea hit her as what happen just minutes ago, and Gideon's screams echoed through her head forcing herself to ask once again...just what had her sister become?
"Nyx stop this please!" Though that didn't stop her from attempting to make a desperate plea toward the birds, trying to reach her sister.
Only for the birds her sister to give a sadistic echoing chuckled before replying back, "Now why would I do a crazy thing like that Tam's?"
The beaks of all the murderous drones flashed malicious grins, "After all it's been so long since these little guys got to cut loose and have some real fun."
Before Tambry could retort some of said little guys had noticed her distraction and attempted to jump her from behind.
POW!
SMACK!
BAM!
"WAAAAAA!"
Emphasis on try as Tambry hearing the noise whirled around seeing none other than Scrooge McDuck himself cane held offensively looking over at her sternly.
"Mind your surroundings lass this is a battlefield!" He snapped in slightly stern tone before turning his gaze toward the birds with his look darkening though his tone softening a bit toward Tambry giving a quick look of sympathy, sorrow, and pit, "And.." He sighed, "Save your breath as well." He shot a venomous look toward the birds while also keeping aware of the surrounding chaos and enemies, "I doubt this demon has any care for your words."

Bill Cipher floated in the main chamber of his new castle, staring down at the town that was safe from his influence.
"Something wrong, Daddy?"
Bill's eye glanced to the side, watching as Pacifica floated up in a white wedding dress…decorated with skulls on her shoulder. "Oh nothing. Just nitpicking some details. Not everything has gone completely according to plan and so far without Sixer with us to tell us how to break down the barrier keeping us locked here, we can't spread out to the rest of the world."
"Not to mention, Sammael and the Fallen are already engaged with the heroes in Nowhere. We've been watching and it's pretty entertaining so far." Pacifica noted with a smile.
"Yeah, Sammy knows how to throw a party almost as good as us." Cipher chuckled. "Whitey's sending guests of her own, though I think the Diamonds were already sending someone to Earth. They just haven't made it yet. If they find out about the good little rocks in the center of the Earth trying to stop their rock baby from hatching chances are we will be in the middle of a war zone. I can't let Sixer be caught up in that before he gives me what I want."
"What's the plan, Daddy?" Pacifica asked.
"Hmm…" Cipher rubbed his 'chin' as he turned away from the window floated down to his thrown. "We need some new guests. People who are already on our lists and are on the lists of the Diamonds and Sammy. If Sammy gets the Spiral Gem of Heart before the barrier around the town goes down, he'll set things up that will end the current cycle of the Grimm on Earth."
"The Spell of Binding." Pacifica said, landing on the armrest of the throne. "The Elementals and the Spiral Gems coming together to seal the Grimm and their masters away again. It's how the Earth has periods of peace despite how long the Grimm have been here."
"That little spell is reaching the point where it's more of a liability to us. If the Spiral Gems are brought together and the spell is cast with us here, we would end up joining the sacrificed, our powers joined to renew world supply of Dust for when the Grimm wake up again." Bill narrowed his eye. "The Spiral's solution to stopping the Grimm. They are even more insane than I am."
"Could the Spell of Binding really kill us?" Pacifica questioned skeptically.
"Energy is energy, kiddo and the Spiral Gems when brought together are powerful enough to alter the fabric of reality and existence. So yeah, sadly even we would be affected by it and even we broke free, my powers would still be useless against the Spiral Gems. I couldn't destroy them but I could throw them into a black hole if I had the chance." Bill said darkly. "Sammy's been waiting for this for a long time but we got to get Sixer so we can beat him and the others to the prize."
"Then we better not dawdle." Pacifica floated down to the ground. "I'll go check in on my future hubby, make sure he is all ready."
Bill watched her as she left and rolled his eye. "Young love…I give her eight hundred years before she'll eat him."

"Oh Pinetree, my sweet Pinetree~" Pacifica cooed in a 'loving tone as she stepped up to him and brought her hand to Dippers cheek, "There's no reason to lie to me or yourself." She shook her head, "I know what the problem really is."
Dipper gulped, "You...do." He said in a nervous tone with Pacifica staring stoically into his eyes before smirking as she let out a little giggle,
"You've got a bad case of the wedding jitters~" She said lightly pinching the cheek, "But there's no reason to be nervous love~"
She let go of his cheek with Dipper rubbing the sore spot before freezing as Pacifica leaned in and gave his other cheek a surprise cheek,
"And do you know why~? She said in a low tone after ending the short peck.
"Why?" Dipper gulped asking with Pacifica smiled at him,
"Because you're going to get everything you've ever deserve." Then a sly smirk she leaned in whispered, "And all you have to do is say I do."
"I... but" Dipper said in nervous tone with Pacifica shaking her head keeping her smirk,
"Plus, your beautiful wife to be knows just the thing to help put those doubts or lingering bothersome morals to rest~" She said as she took a step back before snapping her fingers and a circle of blue fire suddenly formed beneath and around Dipper,
"What the?!" He said in shock and fear before a portal hole formed under him and he fell through.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" He screamed in fear as he fell into the dark until
"Oof!" Dipper grunted he landed with a slight pained grunt while blinking confused looking at his surroundings.
He realized he had he landed in a large well-furnished and actually quite comfortable golden throne modeled after of course Bill Cipher. He also seemed to now be alone in a dark room with the only source of light being a mysterious spotlight that shined on the throne and illuminated him, but the darkness and silence was soon pierced by a melodious voice.
"Hey cutie, I know you can hear me." He looked up as another spotlight suddenly turned on shining some feet away where a blast of blue fire thrust out from the ground which disappeared a moment later revealing Pacifica with her back to him.
"Hey cutie, I know you can see." She turned around smirking at him as she sent him an air kiss and wink with Dipper despite himself finding himself blushing from the action as well the slightly flirty tone."
"Hey cutie, things are 'bout to get crazy." At that line Pacifica eyes transformed into her Cipher yellow before letting out a crazed laugh that sounded so much like her father sending chills down Dippers spine.
She suddenly blasted fire at the ground propelling herself off the ground and with air flip she landed in front of the throne Dipper.
"So just sit right there and you listen to me." She sang smirking in front of him before leaning in and giving his lips a quick peck than turned halfway around and thrust her hand out sending blasts of fire.
"I've heard things to torture your soul."
The ensuring flames in front of them soon displayed images before Dippers eyes, "I've seen more than you can imagine." Dipper looked inside the flames staring drawn into the image of the fire.
Images of Bill Cipher making deals and tricking so many people over the eons and driving even more insane whether for vengeance or his twisted amusement.
An image of Bill's apparent bestie and Nyx's former master Klarion floating in the air besides a bearded man laughing insanely as he sinks a city no- an entire continent sending it into the murky depths.
Images of Pacifica throughout her life her birth at a sacrificial life, her murdering sacrifices and victims of her father, her fighting that girl from the train Mandy even as she seemed to transform into some kinda Grimm form, even her meeting Nyx.
Speaking of Dipper saw images of Nyx herself displaying her own pain and sorrow at Klarion's hands, her training alongside Pacifica in brutal training sessions, even a flash of the Duck 2 Dawn with her staring hatefully at those two elderly ghosts with Pacifica as they vanished in a flash of purple fire with a apparent scream.
These and many images flashed in the fire from a dark woman throwing a baby into what looked like a Grimm pit?! To images of a red-haired man who seemed more Grimm than human who sent a chill down Dipper's soul from the image alone leading a vast army of Grimm and beings like him against what looked like ancient heroes and hunters.
Though these images soon ended and changed as Pacifica continued her song by the side of the throne.
"Join me and we'll both get ahead kid."
The images in the fire soon displayed that of Dipper himself standin amongst the likes of Bill, Klarion, Nyx, and all their followers and allies while looming over the Earth itself.
"Take my hand, say I do, and then,
we'll both have it all."
The image changed to that of his soon to be future him standing across Pacifica in a wedding dress and him in a tux with Bill floating over them as they kissed.
"Don't let go of this opportunity"
'cause there's no guarantee it'll last,"
Dipper was greeted with another image, this time of strange women in a fiery cavern, fighting a demonic creature with tentacles sprouting from its back.
"What say you my love
have we got a deal?"
He saw a car with a man, a woman and a girl…with fangs fleeing from four…skeletal men in armor on skeletal horses, all of them holding swords and axes.
"Haven't got all day so
you'd best think fast."
He saw a desert like land…swarming with Grimm.
"Side with me cutie
I'll have your back
Count me in when
confidence is all you lack
Price is simple
rather sparing
Time is slipping
Life is choices
let's start living."
Monsters, machines and heroes clashing in a titanic battle with storm clouds circling overhead.
"You know you've always been different
They'll just drag you down don't you see
It's tough but you've got to be brave
they're just dead weight you
gotta cut away to be free."
Then he saw ravens coming for a few kids his age: a brunette-haired boy in a red turtleneck and wore sunglasses, a fox Faunus girl with a red hair and wore blue, a kid with short red hair wearing a red and white striped shirt and a green jacket and several more kids he didn't recognize.
"You know that they'll try to deceive you."
All of them gathered at…his and Pacifica's wedding.
"Your hunches were right from the start
You don't have to sit and play good boy
take a stand and tear
this world all apart."
He then witnessed a big red castle, floating in black and green void and inside was a muscular figure on a throne, wearing a flaming crown.
"Time draws short you've
gotta make up your mind
I don't offer these things every day
Little tree how big
that you could grow up
If you'll just say the word
and you'll let me stay."
Then he saw the hero Major Glory facing down…him.
The man who was more Grimm than human, a red aura surrounding him and his eyes glowing blood red.
"Side with me cutie
I'll have your back
Count me in when
confidence is all you lack
Price is simple
rather sparing
Time is slipping
Life is choices
let's start living."
He saw more battles, more chaos, more destruction.
"Don't let go of this opportunity
'cause there's no guarantee it'll last
What say you my lovely pinetree
have we got a deal?
haven't got all day so
you'd best think fast."
And in the center of it all…was his family.
"Side with me cutie
I'll have your back
Count me in when
confidence is all you lack
Price is simple
rather sparing
Time is slipping
Life is choices
let's start living."
Pacifica ended her song, landing before Dipper and placing a hand on his cheek. "So, what do you say, Pine Tree? Take a chance and risk your family's lives by being a hero or get hitched with me and we'll take care of you and everyone else."
Dipper was trembling now as it looked like Pacifica was about to kiss him…But suddenly she pulled away.
"Right, no kissing before the altar. Bad luck and all." Pacifica smiled and turned to the wall. "See ya then, hubby."
Dipper just watched as she phased through the wall and was gone, leaving him to fall to his knees.

"She sure has a way with words…Just like her old man." Bill chuckled. "She keeps acting more and more like me every day."
His eye narrowed, spotting something in the sky. "Hm?"
Above Gravity Falls, a giant blue robot rocketed through the clouds, heading straight for the massive floating pyramid that was Bill's castle.
"O-kay." Bill Cipher slowly said, getting up from his throne. "What have we got here?"
INFINITY TRAIN ARC
Opening File: Mandy
Mandy is the youngest of the Fallen and yet possess a soul darker than almost all of them, including Sammael who sensed her presence immediately when she was born. The Grimm came for her, killing her parents taking her with them. In the depths of the Darklands, Mandy grew to become a frightening young girl and is yet still considered a newborn Fallen. Her darkness is matched only by her ambition to become a Queen of Darkness, overthrowing even Sammael.
Despite her ambitions, she knows she is not yet ready to challenge Sammael who not only possess countless centuries of wisdom and experience compared to her but also has near infinite magical power. Mandy believes the Infinity Train to be the key she needs to become powerful enough to defeat Sammael and take his place as leader of the Grimm and the Fallen.

The Infinity Train continued its endless journey on the single railroad with no destination or end. While everyone else was still getting their bearings on the train, a pair of figures jumped from the roof of one car and onto the next.
"So, this is the infamous Infinity Train." Many muttered to herself as she and Xavier landed on the next roof. "It's smaller than I thought."
"But it is still taking forever to reach the Conductor." Xavier commented.
"I will move faster on my own." Mandy retorted, taking a few steps forward. "You're slowing me down."
"Sammael said-"
"Sammael isn't here." Mandy cut him off. "I don't need a babysitter."
"You needed his help to escape the Blind Eye Society." Xavier pointed out, earning a nasty glare from Mandy for that. "I'm just saying. Besides the Conductor is not the issue. We just need to find the Gem of Creation and we can give it to Sammael."
"Assuming I let you take it and give it to him." Mandy turned away. "I can use it to create an army to dominate the Earth when I get back."
"Assuming we can get back." Xavier held up, showing a number that was rapidly growing. "I am not liking the looks of this."
Mandy held up her own hand, seeming her number already spreading down her arm. "It's no big deal. Once I take control of this train, I can program it to open a portal back to Earth."
Xavier simply stared at Mandy as she started forward.
"Mandy has perhaps the darkest soul to ever exist." Sammael said. "No doubt she would likely seek to usurp me and take the Spiral Gems herself. The Grimm realized this the day they sensed her birth and took her to be raised amongst them. I do not know if this was natural or perhaps even an attempt by some power to tip the balance of control over the Grimm. If she attempts to take control of the Infinity Train, that is fine, it's the Gem of Creation I want."
Xavier knew that he might have to contend with Mandy if things got rough and despite his own powers, he hope it would not come to that.
She was really scary.
Mandy stopped just as it appeared she was about to hop onto the roof of another car and slammed her hand onto the ground. "This is taking too long."
Xavier raised an eyebrow.
He watched as the skin of Mandy's hand pulsed black with dark veins appearing. A black tar-like substance emerged from her hand and spread out across the top of the car. Orbs of dark matter began to rose up into the air, surrounding Mandy as her hand pulsed again, becoming even darker.
Xavier watched as the orbs began to grow, sprouting arms and a white bone like mask as a face appeared with a red glowing eye. "What are these?"
"Newborn Geists." Mandy answered, raising her hand. "About fifty of them."
"What are you going to do with fifty Geist Grimm?" Xavier asked.
"What Grimm are supposed to do." Mandy looked over her shoulder as her eyes glowed red. "Cause chaos."
The Geist Grimm all vanished with some even plunging into the ground surrounding the Infinity Train. A second later, bodies made of red earth sprouted up and latched onto the train. One managed to climb up the car that Mandy and Xavier were on and once it was on top, it reached out a hand to Mandy who stepped onto it. The hand placed Mandy on the shoulder and then hopped onto the next car with Mandy sitting on it.
Shaking his head, Xavier quickly jumped after it. "She couldn't wait for me to get on or get me have a taxi of my own?"
Clearly this girl thought herself the Queen of the World.

"Oh man, where am I now?"
When Kevin came to, he found himself without Rolf or Jonny with him. On the one hand it was concerning that he was all alone in some strange place…
On the other hand, he was glad Jonny wasn't around.
Seriously, the kid has been getting super clingy as of late, even since they worked together to take down that criminal dork Midas Goult. Now, Kevin didn't mind having friends but to be honest he wasn't sure he completely considered Jonny a friend, if not for the fact that his weird habits were also super annoying.
Heck, he even paid the Eds to keep Jonny away from him, albeit under the threat of beating them up if Jonny came within ten feet of him.
And after they took down Midas, Jonny had it in his giant head that he and Kevin were becoming the super-heroes of Peach Creek, not at all remembering that practically everyone knew he was Captain Melonhead. If anyone saw them together they would easily put two and two together and figure out who they were.
Kevin shuddered at the idea of his dad and step-mom finding out his secret habit of taking off into the city at night to beat up criminal dorks.
And then Rolf…
Rolf was Kevin's best friend, no doubt about that.
Despite how weird the so-called Son of a Shepard could be, Rolf meant well and he was the only person in all of Peach Creek to be as strong as him. (Kevin didn't normally count Ed because he was too nice to actually use that super strength of his.)
Of course, Rolf was the only in the cul-de-sac who had faced down Grimm before moving there, as he had said many times. Kevin could honestly call him a friend but him and Rolf disagreed on the subject of Huntsmen. Well, that was before his abduction by the alien rock women but Rolf didn't know about his vigilante activities and Kevin wanted to keep it secret as long as possible. If he was interested in fighting bad guys like a Huntsmen he would have to take combat class before being enrolled in a Huntsmen Academy and he didn't like that.
Rules were for losers.
Kevin preferred being a vigilante over all that prim and proper stuff.
Shaking his head, Kevin decided to focus on finding the others and then find his way out of here…Wherever here was.
Taking a look around, Kevin could see he was on some sort of cliff. "Well, not the worst place to wake up in."
He had taken courses on surviving in the wilderness, so he knew what to do. The problem was he had no equipment or provisions with him so he would have to do everything by hand, making it even more difficult.
'It's never easy…' Kevin sighed as he started to look around.
He couldn't risk climbing down as he might slip and fall and judging by the height the fall would either kill or cripple him. So, he walked around, carefully taking in everything around him.
Okay, it looked like he was on a mountain.
And if he was on a pathway of some kind, maybe it led down to the ground.
Meaning, all he had to do was follow the path and he would see if he was going up or down. Keven looked out across the edge and gulped.
It was a long way down.
"Why did it have to be here?"
The area was foggy, and he could barely see the ground. He looked up and could see the top of the mountain, spotting snow up at the top.
'Okay, up is a no go. Even if I got Aura to protect me it would still be very cold.' Kevin looked down again. 'So, I got to try and find a way down.'
Then he looked at his wrench and sighed.
He had tinkered with it a few times after becoming a vigilante and one of the things he added was a grappling cable at the end. He plunged the end of his wrench into a stable part of the cliff and took a deep breath before he went over the edge. The grappling cable began to unwind, and Kevin began to slowly lower himself down to the bottom below.
He just hoped the cable was long enough.
After a few minutes, it stopped and he could see ground again.
Only it was too far for him to jump.
Sighing, Keven swung over to the rocky wall, managing to grab onto it before pulling the grappling end of his wrench free.
He grappled all the way down onto solid ground and sighed once he was safe. "Okay, now where do I go next?"
Looking around, all he could say was a desolate rocky land.
No towns.
No villages.
Absolutely nothing.
"This just keeps on better and better." Kevin sighed as he started walking.
Little did Kevin know; a black misty presence was following him as he began his trek through the seemingly endless land.
"What was I thinking following everyone in that light?" Kevin muttered to himself. "I just got back from being abducted and brainwashed on an alien planet."
Was it because he wanted to help?
Or did he just not want to be seen as a coward by backing out?
'Eddy, Sarah and Jimmy are gone. The lumpy dork's depressed, I haven't seen or heard of the Double D in weeks and we all just got rescued from living in an alien zoo. Now I am here in the middle of nowhere, trying to find my way out.' Kevin mentally recounted to himself. 'Not to mention we all learned there's some serious bad guys out there.'
It made Kevin seriously re-think about how he saw things and what he wanted to do.
He was engrossed in his own thoughts, he failed to notice the large hulking figure behind him…Until it's shadow fell over him.
"Huh?" Kevin turned and paled. "Oh no."
It was a Geist Grimm, using rocks and boulder to create its body.
And it was raising a giant rocky fist over his head…
"I knew I should have stayed behind!" Kevin grabbed and wrench and took off running just as the giant brought its fist down.
SLAM!
Kevin managed to dodge in time, the impact shaking the ground but he managed to remain on his feet as he ran.
