Opening File: Clan Blake
Originating from the country of Scotland Clan Blake has a mysterious origin, dating back to when the Grimm first arose to destroy the world. Even before the Grimm Clan Blake was a family of explorers and even fighters in ancient Scotland and since then they have been considered to be among the greatest warriors and hunters in the entire world. Unlike modern Huntsmen Clan Blake does not rely on high-tech weapons, preferring to create traditional weapons such as claymores that they personally forge that are embedded with Dust and ancient Celtic runes that are said to be magical but their claim remains only a rumor.
It is believed these runes somehow increases the potential power of Dust embedded in the swords as it has been reported of warriors of Clan Blake preforming extraordinary feats, even by Huntsmen standards. Using their weapons in battle these warriors have left battlefields completely covered in ice or looking like an earthquake so fast. It is why Scotland has remained mostly unscathed through the centuries and remains safe from the Grimm. Though believed to be behind all countries technologically there is nothing to prove that Scotland has not advanced to an equal or even past all competing countries.
Only time will tell.
Clan Blake has remained in Scotland, defending its borders from the Grim for centuries and there has been no formal contact, at least until the new clan head, Scotty Blake took over. Hailed a prodigy and perhaps the most powerful warriors of his tribe Scotty Blake has a reputation as one of the most dangerous Hunters on the planet. Achieving leadership of the clan at a young age Scotty Blake has since traveled the world, earning a fearsome reputation and is said to have once defeated an army of over a thousand Grimm.
His reputation has caused many countries to hire him but he has turned down many unless they have interested him. His reasons for turning down many job offers are unknown but he has met many Hunters and Huntresses who have earned his respect which is not an easy feat. He also is known to have extended family in America which is perhaps his only reason why takes many trips to America but nothing has been confirmed. One confirmation is that he is not someone to be crossed and that is a lesson that many rogues and criminals have failed to learn.

"And so we learn a bit more about the history of one of our heroes. So many things change and yet so much remain the same. A warrior who matched skills with the greatest of warriors in one reality, so powerful that not even death itself could stop him becomes a great warrior in a new reality, perhaps even more powerful than before. Tell me that's not scary. Well, it's scary for any bad guys who try to cross him." TOM said, closing the file on Clan Blake. "If one man can remember the history one timeline what can he do to this new timeline? One reality's epic hero can become another's mightiest hero if given the proper motivation. So, what has our favorite loud-mouthed Scotsman picked up in this new reality and what can we expect to see?"

Scotty Blake was relaxing under a tree in a wide open field.
It had been a while since he had the chance to relax, especially with all the things that had happened in the last few years. He had an interesting life; well actually it was a second life in a world where a certain Ultimate Evil had become a force of Ultimate Destruction. Of course on the bright side he had his beautiful wife again and had the chance to raise his darling daughters again and even had more family like his lovely niece Daphne Blake and his new grand-niece Melinda Blake.
'Long ago in a distant land the Big Baby of Darkness unleashed a great evil.
But a brave Samurai stepped up to oppose him.
Before the final blow was struck the Big Buffoon tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future.
Where he met me and we became best buds!
We took on bounty hunters, monsters, Celtic demons and crazy siren that sang like a thousand nails scratching a chalkboard!
Fifty years passed and I was blessed with bonny lasses, me daughters!
There's Flora, Maeve, Isla, Bradana, Murdina, Alana, Oban, Ardbey, Fiona, Assie, Bonnie, Lorna, Mawina, Shona, Nora, Piesil, Shanath, Euspeth, Edme, Freya, Gilbartha, Gesha, Grizela, Innes, Dawntha, Cora, Davina, Kina.
We all stood against the Big Baby and when the big baby thought I was down I came back!
Celtic Magic!
We decided to regroup and plan a new attack, we'd amass an even bigger army, we'd find Jack and together finally defeat that Big Baby!
We watched as that buffoon captured Jack but we showed up and saved him!
I asked which of me daughters he'd like to marry but he said he already met someone.
She didn't look like his type.
They disappeared into a portal and the Big Baby threw a tantrum before he disappeared too.
And then the entire world changed, becoming an entirely new world where the Big Baby didn't take over the world but then it changed again where instead of one Big Baby taking over the world it was an army of Big Babies trying to destroy everything.
And as a spirit I saw the worlds change, I saw a world where people were not enslaved under a great tyranny and lived in total ignorance of what it is like to live in that kind of world.
And I watched the world change into this one because we didn't stop that Big Baby from using every dirty trick in the book to survive.
But I am not sad.
I still have me wife, I still have me bonny daughters, I have even more family and I have a mission. Right now I am training a wee lass that I think is distant relative to me with her red hair and charming attitude and bonding with me dear niece and helping her out.'
Scotty Blake, formerly known as simply the Scotsman opened his eyes as the transparent image of a familiar face appeared in front of him. "Oy, Blue-y! Can't you see I'm thinking here?!"
"Thinking can wait." The spectral image said. "We got a problem."
The image of a triangular thing with an eye and top hat appeared above the blue skinned man.
"Bill Cipher, a threat that never appeared when Aku originally ruled and tried to take over in the world where Aku didn't rule now plans to take over this one, taking the chance he lost before to come into this world for his 'Weirdmageddon'."
Scotty laughed as he stood up. "Oh is he?! Well, let's see if he thinks he can get his way with me!"
"Be prepared because it won't be just Cipher." The Guardian warned. "He's got a whole town of weirdos ready for anyone."
"Sounds like a Tuesday to me." Scotty chuckled. "I was getting bored anyways."
"Good because there are a few things you need to do."

Juniper Lee took a deep breath as she stood on the road leading out of Orchid Bay City, standing right in front of the line she couldn't cross a few months ago when she thought she'd be leaving on vacation with her family, only to find that the magical powers kept the Te Xuan Ze bound to Orchid Bay City. That had been heart-breaking to know she could never leave this city and see the rest of the world until she had kids that would one day take her place as the Te Xuan Ze. But now she might have the chance when she made a literal deal with Death to step outside the magical barrier protecting the magical realm from the rest of the world by tying her life force and soul to a friend who could step out the barrier.
Lila stood next to her along with her little brother Ray-Ray, her older brother Dennis and their dog Monroe. "You ready, June?"
June nodded. "Here I go."
It had to be both of them at the same time or the barrier would simply hold June in like before. Both June and Lila took a step forward at the same time…
And stepped over the line.
June's eyes widened as she looked over her shoulder, trembling as she looked back at the city. "I…I'm free."
"Just remember, June. If there's a magical disturbance you'll be summoned back here. When the crisis is dealt with Lila can summon you back to wherever you are outside of the city." Monroe said, reminding June of the terms.
Juniper nodded with a tearful smile. "Better than just being stuck, I guess."
Though she was now free her job would be harder now than before, even harder than her predecessors because she would be dealing with magical threats, Grimm and other kinds of threats that made anything she had gone up against look like babies in kindergarten. Instead of being a protector now she'd be a magical hunter, looking for threats before they revealed themselves.
And before he left Grim revealed a dangerous threat.
"So, I got to go stop this Bill Cipher guy?" June said, looking at Monroe who nodded.
"Bill Cipher's a piece of work if there ever was one, June. While not a magical being by our standards he's an interdimensional trickster and destroyer. He came from a dimension of two-dimensional beings that he later destroyed along with his entire race and has been in waiting in that deteriorating NetherRealm for a chance to get into this dimension." Monroe gravely explained. "His powers are limited only to mental abilities right now but if he gets into this dimension and assumes a three-dimensional physical form he'll become the worst thing since the Grimm or when the dark cult tried to raise Cthulhu by stealing his phone from Grim, the Reaper Grim not the Grimm monsters."
"Cthulhu is real?" June, Ray-Ray and Dennis asked.
"Duh! I am telling you about a demon that may bring the end of the world and that's what you took from that? After everything you've seen that's the question you are asking?" Monroe rolled his eyes. "But not the one you guys are thinking about. Monster communities are big fans of Human horror stories. So anyways, Cipher's got himself a little cult since the Grimm have a habit of crashing his little 'tear a hole in the space-time continuum' plans so he started making deals with Humans for the last few hundred years. Typical gullible humans in dress type cult."
"Oh goodie." June rolled her eyes, remembering the last time she had dealt with a cult.
"I know but these guys are more dangerous, June. They will be stronger, smarter and a lot harder to fight." Monroe continued. "Don't underestimate them."
"So if this Cipher guy gets to this world then what? Banishment spell?" June questioned, remembering the list of Banishment spells that she had learned.
"Sorry, June. Your basic Banishment spells won't work on Cipher. Not sure what could work on a guy like him but I can only guess that the Banishment of Void spell." Monroe answered grimly. "It's meant to banish the kind of beings who have committed the worst kind of magical crimes to a dimension located in between dimensions, a dead space known as the Void but most people call it Hell."
"Whoa." June and her siblings said at the same time.
"Yes so be careful. But we can hope we stop Bill from getting to this dimension." Monroe said optimistically.
"So how I will get to Gravity Falls which is all the way in Oregon?" June asked.
Monroe looked sheepish. "Well, that's one thing I got nothing on."
"Of course." June sighed.
"Someone call for a ride?"
The group spun around, watching as Jasmine Lee stepped out from behind a rock, smiling as she held up a pair of keys. "Road trip?"

It moved through the woods, sniffing for its prey and it smelt one entering its master's domain. It took on the form of a wolf and followed the scent, spotting its prey. Without a moment's hesitation it lunged out to make the kill…
Only for its target to spin out of the way.
"Not bad." The prey spoke, revealing itself as a young girl.
It turned around; looking at the girl it had tried to kill. It was a young girl wearing a pink dress with a yellow flower in the center and thin white stripe at the bottom, black mary janes, and blonde hair accessorized with a black headband. Her eyes were jet black and yet for a second it could see them flash red and it immediately knew what she was.
She was one of her master's enemies.
"It's about time Cipher sent someone after me. I've been waiting for this." The girl said, holding up her hands and revealing two pistols. "Come and get me."
It growled and lunged at her. She somersaulted back, aiming and shooting at it with her bullets burying themselves in its skin. It roared as its form shifted, becoming a body of pure white slime with four slender legs. Its right arm was slender and has a three-fingered hand, and its left arm is swollen with a clawed hand.
It had two baby pink eyes and a snout with four fangs hanging on the outside of its mouth, and six smaller teeth on the inside.
"Wow. You're gorgeous." The girl said stoically, making it hard to tell if she was being genuine or sarcastic.
The Shape Shifter lashed out three tentacles at her but she dodged them all, shooting shards of red Dust that hit the three tentacles and exploded on impact. The Shape-Shifter roared and lunged at her, aiming to flatten her with a large fist it created but she easily dodged and continued shooting at the Shape-Shifter, her Fire Dust shells exploding upon impact. The Shape-Shifter roared as it fell back, shielding its face.
"This is the best you got? I expected a little more." The girl remarked, twirling her pistols.
The Shape-Shifter growled as it lowered its arms. "…Fallen."
The girl raised an eyebrow. "So you know what I am."
"Humans with the essence of Grimm, apostles of the Pit of Hate." The Shape-Shifter growled. "I know your kind."
"Then you know what is going to destroy you." The girl pointed her pistols at the Shape-Shifter. "You may not be like a Grimm but you probably have a core keeping you alive somewhere in that body. I just need to keep on blowing you apart until I find it."
The Shape-Shifter grinned. "Not so easy as you might think."
It lunged forward, bulking its form up and letting out a powerful. The girl flinched from how loud the creature's wail was and was caught off guard as it slammed a large fist into her, sending her flying into a tree. She slid down to the ground but stood up a few seconds later.
"Not bad." She wiped a small bit of blood from her lip. "And here I was afraid this would be too easy."
She discarded her pistols and her eyes flashed red.

A surge was felt and even though he was far away Sammael grinned as he stared out the window, allowing him to view his land.
"I assume you felt that just now."
Sammael didn't bother to turn to face the glowing eyes behind him. "It seems Mandy is having a little fun, considering she is using her Semblance."
Xxx
The Shape-Shifter swung its blades down on the girl named Mandy who surprisingly held up both her hands to catch them.
Xxx
"The Touch of Destruction."
Xxx
The instant the blades came in contact with her hands they suddenly exploded, knocking the shocked Shape-Shifter back, its showing horror and confusion.
"Surprised?" Mandy asked, lowering her hands. "What you just witnessed was my Semblance, the Touch of Destruction. It allows me to use my Aura to convert anything I touch to immediately explode, annihilating anything I choose."
The Shape-Shifter staggered back, not expecting a Fallen this young to have such power. It managed to regenerate its wounds but now it was wary of coming near her.
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Mandy asked, taking a step forward. "You can't touch me because my Aura will destroy anything that comes into contact with me. I am guessing those losers working for Bill sent you to stop me. Too bad they sent the wrong loser."
The Shape-Shifter growled. "You are powerful but attempting to stop Cipher from arriving is foolhardy. Since I cannot stop you I will take my leave. I have no wish to remain with him and the humans here have doomed themselves with their constant search for answers."
Mandy watched as the Shape-Shifter vanished back into the woods, making no move to follow him.
Xxx
Sammael sensed Mandy had defeated whoever was sent to stop her and was satisfied with her victory. "Her first victory. I suppose I should document this in celebration for the newest member of our little family."
"She still has a long way to go. Her combat skills and her mastery of her Semblance is impressive but she still lacks the experience." The glowing-eyed shadow advised.
"And in a place like Gravity Falls she will gain all the experience she needs." Sammael sat back on his throne.

Deep in the woods a trio of crimson robed figures stood in the middle of a clearing, waiting.
"Trickster, I know you are here." The lead robed figure called out. "Come out. I bring news of the Candy Elemental!"
From the woods came an unusually tall, extremely deep purple monster with twig like arms and legs. It wore a patchwork suit jacket, a yellow mask of a smiling jack-o'-lantern face with one tooth, and a shoddy brown hat with a darker brown band.
The robed man grinned. "Yes, the Candy Elemental has resurfaced."
The tall creature leaned forward. "Where?"
"Outside of this town." The man answered. "You seek to devour the Candy Elemental, gain her powers and thus ensure all candy is treasured. Bring her to Gravity Falls and all the children who discard candy will be punished."
"Where?" The creature repeated.
"…GrimmFall."
"GrimmFall…" The creature hissed.
"Yes. Go, bring her hear and devour her. You will be able to spread candy across the entire kingdom." The man encouraged.
The creature hissed and jumped over the figures, running into the forest.
Behind the man, one of the other robed figures who was much shorter looked at the leader. "Is it wise to send him? We can't let him interfere with my father's plans."
"Do not worry. He will not interfere." The man turned around. "Our control methods will ensure his obedience."
"Good."

"Hey, just got an email from Hoagie. He's staying at an inn near Gravity Falls."
It was now nightfall in the city of GrimmFall and Nigel had been waiting for a message from Hoagie down in the basement with Abby and Wally who was staying over for the night while watching a movie. It was a nice distraction from everything that happened. However as soon as Nigel mentioned the name of that place again his mind flashed but this time he only got a headache.
"Are you okay?" Abby said, watching as Nigel rubbed his head.
"Yeah. What is wrong with me?" Nigel asked ran a hand through his brown hair. "Why do I feel like this whenever I mention that place?"
Abby frowned. "It could be…Related to the Ice Elemental."
She had been reluctant to talk about anything regarding the Elementals since the encounter with Drago that led her to discover what happened to her parents. She had been taught to hide and conceal herself as the Candy Elemental and it seemed to be working but Nigel's powers had been acting strange ever since the first time he heard the words 'Gravity Falls'. She knew that Elementals could communicate with their past selves but she wasn't sure how to do that and if she wanted to risk another one of Sammael's goons coming after her and Nigel.
"That stuff again?" Wally asked, not understanding the whole mystic stuff with his two best friends.
"You mean that I can sense something wrong?" Nigel asked, looking at Abby. "So, should we be asking Hoagie to simply come back?"
Abby sighed and shook her head. "And tell him what? That we've got mystical powers and can just feel something is wrong? Sure, a total geek will believe it."
"I'd believe it." Wally shrugged as the two looked at him. "What? Sounds legit to me."
Abby sighed. "The point is we can't just go around getting worried about every little thing. We'd look crazy."
"But you said even if we hide our powers we can still sense if something is wrong." Nigel pointed out.
"And that's about it." Abby looked at the screen. "What's he saying anyways?"
Hey guys! I hope my message is getting to all of you. We just stopped at an inn and it's kind of weird being out in a place like this but we'll be in Gravity Falls tomorrow. I hope it's going to be fun and I'll get you guys something while I'm there.
Hope to see ya soon.
Hoagie
"He sounds okay." Abby sat back on the couch.
Wally nodded. "Yep. Besides, what's he got to worry about anyways? He's not been training his butt off like we have."
It was technically true.
After the encounter with Drago Nigel's father Monty Uno and Wallabee's uncle Lou Beatles had upped the training. Lou had even given training weights to Nigel and Abby, similar to what he had given his nephew but not to the same degree since Wally had more experience in training weights. The good thing about Aura is that it could heal injuries quickly with a little help of White Dust that accelerated the healing process, especially such injuries as aching bones and big bruises. Monty supervised training their Semblances along with mental alertness, good eyesight and strategy while Lou handled the endurance training, such as teaching them stamina, pain endurance and relying on speed.
Lou seemed to be building them up for something since he claimed that if they worked hard enough he'd teach them a special technique he had learned during his travels.
It was hard but the children were determined, especially when they saw the kind of monsters they would be against.
"We haven't even made our weapons yet." Wally continued which was also true.
They couldn't even officially forge their weapons until they had taken courses in weapon's training, specifically training in the kind of weapons they were planning on building which would take up to two or three years of training. They would then need to find a blacksmith to help properly forge the weapons and pass the physical and written tests to gain proper entrance to the Hunter Academy in GrimmFall, Nevernest Academy.
Nigel sighed and relented. "All right, I'll drop it."
Abby patted Nigel on the shoulder. "It'll be all right."
Later that night when the movie was over they went to sleep with Wally sleeping on the couch in the basement the two Elemental children both experienced something as they slept.

Nigel opened his eyes and saw the icy interior of the castle he remembered seeing years ago. "Elsa, are you here?"
"I am here, Nigel." The boy watched as Elsa walked down the stairs towards him. "You have grown well, Nigel. And you have learned much."
"Yeah. I mean you kind of told me about being the Ice Elemental when we first met." Nigel remarked with a smile, feeling at ease.
"And your friend Abby is the Candy Elemental." Elsa smiled. "It pleases me to see you have made friends with another Elemental."
"Did you know?" Nigel asked. "And do you know why I have been having these visions?"
"I am sorry Nigel but I do not know. I can only surmise that these visions are the memories of a previous Ice Elemental, before my time. "Elsa shook her head. "I can only feel what you feel, Nigel. I am merely a mental projection of the previous Ice Elemental before you."
"Right." Nigel rubbed his head. "So what brings you, me here?"
Elsa sighed and closed her eyes. "Your encounter with Drago."
"You know him?" Nigel quickly asked.
Elsa nodded. "He is a follower of Sammael, someone very dangerous and the one who destroyed my kingdom."
Nigel gasped. "Really?"
Elsa waved a wand and a window appeared in the wall, showing a kingdom. "This is the kingdom of Arendelle, once a beautiful and peaceful place. I was the eldest of two children, both of us princesses and heirs to the throne. I was born with the powers of the Ice Elemental and spent most of my life attempting to hide my powers. But the more I tried to hide them the more powerful they became. It wasn't until I finally realized my emotions are tied to my powers did I finally learn how to control them and thus I was able to finally live happily with my sister and people. But it wasn't too last."
Nigel gasped as the kingdom was suddenly set on fire.
"Drago was once a man, corrupted by the lust of power and immortality and sold himself to Sammael who trapped him in a body made of molten rock and crystals, making it so he could never die but in doing so removed whatever humanity he had left. Sammael sent him to destroy me and I fought him with everything I had, giving my life to ensure my people escaped the kingdom I was meant to protect." Elsa closed her eyes and bowed her head. "I sacrificed myself and once I did the Ice Elemental would reincarnate one hundred years later following the Path of One Hundred Cycles, finally choosing a new host in a child born during the season of winter."
"Me." Nigel said, watching as Elsa recreated the wall of ice to no longer show the burning kingdom.
"Yes. As the Ice Elemental you have the ability to call upon the experience of your predecessors and I hope you do not suffer the same mistakes I made. That is why I appeared to you when you began manifesting your powers through the Flame Semblance of your family. Nigel, you are the new Ice Elemental and as such you will be taking up the same path I and the ones before us had taken." Elsa knelt down in front of Nigel, placing her hands on his shoulders. "You will experience many things, as a Human, a Hunter and as an Elemental. You will face many obstacles, including the enemies I faced who will be strong and unpredictable. Remember what you must protect and love and you will be able to use the power you have been gifted."
Nigel was silent in shock as Elsa leaned in and kissed him on the forehead.

Abby wasn't sure what was going on but when she opened her eyes she found herself on an island but it was no mere island.
It was island literally made of candy!
She looked around in awe and felt like she could literally stay on this island for the rest of her life.
"Nice place huh?"
Abby spun around and saw someone, a man by the looks of it sitting under a candy cane tree. He wore a hat over his head that covered his face.
"Who are you?"
"Is it really that hard to tell?" The man said, stretching his arms. "You're on an island made of candy."
Abby's eyes widened. "Are you a…Candy Elemental?"
"Former Candy Elemental, yeah. That's your job now." The man answered, happily sighing. "You got a long road ahead little girl so don't repress your gifts forever."
"What are you-"
"You'll know!"
Xxx
A pair of red eyes looked at the new Uno Household, sensing the familiar presence inside. "…Candy Elemental."
"Ya want candy?" The eyes spun around in time to catch a large fist slam into their face. "Here's a sucker punch!"
The red eyed creature flew down the street, skidding across the gravel several times before rolling to a stop in a park. It looked up and spotted who attacked it.
Scotty Blake, leader of Clan Blake that was the strongest clan of warriors in Scotland, approaching with his sword ready. "Come on ya overgrown jawbreaker! I still got some teeth left to break ya!"
The creature growled and lunged at the man for daring to stop him.
