Act 2: Part 10


[OS-107]

'Two birds on a wire.'

Dipper blinked after hearing a sudden noise in his head. Quickly realised what it was.

"Oh boy." Dipper sighs.

"What's wrong, dude," Soos asked.

"Nothing," the boy responds, "going through the same thing John went through."

He then looks up, wondering if the wastelander is talking to him, seeing him at this very moment.

"I'm not doing what you want, okay." He called out. "going to read more of this, hopefully, finish up this act before Webby gets in. whatever you say I'm ignoring you."

He looks at this device and continues reading.

[701 - 702]

Dipper:

A slight smirk from Dipper, liking the creativity of the wastelander.

It reminds him much of Mabel and her insane imagination, he could see her do this.

Webby:

"Sun and moon in a bright sky," Webby said, liking the small moments with the wastelander.

Cartman:

Kenny's little sister saw the chalk images and giggled at what she sees.

"Kenny look," she said to her brother, "he's drawing on the walls."

Nobody can see it, but Kenny had a smile on his face, "yeah."

Cartman meanwhile roll his eyes, "boring! Next!"

Mabel:

[703]

Dipper:

Dipper takes one glance at the image and notices how he put four planets, not one, or a random number, but four.

So far, there are four human characters including GG. And they are playing the same game as his group are.

Is there's a connection to the planets? Is one of them John's planet?

He takes some notes just in case,

Webby:

"Four planets, one splatter in oil, one detailed and bright, one has a clock or wheel, and one with a volcano," Huey wrote and make small sketches of each planet in his guidebook.

"You think these are the player's lands, like Dipper's?"

"probably," Webby shrugs, "means that I get my land to explore, which will be exciting."

She starts to think about the potential of her planet, it could be anything based around her, maybe islands of adventure or a world full of candy and gold. Maybe a dangerous land of endless conflict.

It could be anything and she will face whatever this game throws at her.

Cartman:

"four planets…" Stan said, curious about the planets and thinking about how it relates to the story he's reading. "maybe there's a reason…"

Mabel:

"very creative planets," Mabel said, liking each one. "shows that you're in a big solar system to your gorgeous can town!"

[704]

Dipper:

"huh…" Dipper said, now wondering about the so-called 'darkness' that seems to be the furthest.

Slowly, he's beginning to give himself an idea of what this place is implying.

Webby:

"Good, darkness to fight." Webby said, "and will eventually lose against."

"What do you mean by losing?" her granny asked.

"The conflict of Light and Darkness in the battle for skia," Lena told the grown housekeeper, "It's said that light is destined to lose."

"That… reassuring." Beakley was a little unsure about that idea.

Cartman:

"Dark, darkness, whatever, don't care of this Kingdom Hearts sh*t, next!"

Mabel:

"Darkness moon," Mabel sighs, "of course, it's at the furthest to the light, because they all that darkness. Darkness!"

[705]

(Nothing much to say on this page)

[706]

Dipper:

"so it's an old fashioned computer that uses commands," Dipper said towards the page. "explain a lot and how it is structured."

Webby:

"Commands yet no instructions," Beakley said, aware of such old-fashioned computers back in her day.

"Maybe type in turn on screen?" Webby suggested.

"Webby, those computer needs commands, trying 'turn on screen' wouldn't work" Huey pointed out

Cartman:

"a lame computer if you can't use it for Facebook or games," Cartman said with most of the kid

agreeing with him

Mabel:

"Like those old-timey computers or that laptop," Mabel said, recalling a laptop that Dipper couldn't access, having too many password errors before it erased everything.

It was also a time when one accident caused her puppet show to go in flame, literally.

[707 - 710]

Dipper:

From the following pages, Dipper was surprised by the sudden open box, filled with a fizzy drink of a brand he doesn't recognise.

"Tab?" Dipper said the name of the drink, "that's a new one. At least he has something to drink."

Webby:

"Tab." Louie said, looking at the crazy page towards the drink. "looks like another kind of Pep, but pinker…"

"I like it," Webby commented, "looks so delicious."

Cartman:

"Isn't that diet drink nobody buys?" Craig asked as the boys notice the brand, probably seen it once or twice when they were in a superstore, but something from the drink that seems off-putting.

"Yeah, don't want that crap." Cartman said, "Mountain Dew beats any other drink."

Mabel:

"hey, it's more cans for the Can Town!" Mabel said, curious about the Tab drink though pleased that the wastelander has something to fill up his hungry belly.

[711]

Webby:

"Adding more stuff to the creative world of can town," Webby smiled.

Mabel:

"Add the Tab as new civilians for your fair city," Mabel said, "now it's a place for every kind of can, soda or tin, empty or full."

[712 - 714]

Dipper:

In the shown pages, Dipper saw commands that were shown already on previous pages.

"a long log, though he was typing" Dipper comments.

Webby:

"there, now he can turn on the other screens," Webby said curious to see what it will show, having an idea that it could be the children that were shown in the story.

Cartman:

Like always, Cartman wasn't interested in the technical stuff and skip pages until something catches his interest

Mabel:

"there!" Mabel was pleased with the page after seeing a whole bunch of long words, "now we can see the other screen.

She gladly presses onto the next page to see what the second screen will show.

[715 - 716]

Dipper:

Dipper looked at the two locked screens, noticing both of them being John's friends.

"Okay, so we know Dave is going to enter the Medium," Dipper said.

At the same time he considers that this is happening at a later date in the story, though with the locks, it was more likely that the other two kids have yet to enter.

Webby:

"Hey, Dave's there now," Webby said.

"Doesn't seem like it," Dewey pointed out, "plus this is in the future, they're more likely dead."

"More likely pre-recorded," Beakley suggests.

"But wait, this wastelander can talk to John and he can hear them, that doesn't seem possible"

"Maybe it has time travel or something," Louie suggested.

Cartman:

"Really wish those screens aren't locked," Cartman sighs, "I would rather see that him in action… and is that a bird?"

"Poor Cal," Tweek commented, noticing the destroyed puppet. "though he is a little creepy…"

Mabel:

"This is thrilling," Mabel said, curious about the wizard and Dave on the locked screens, she could guess Rose and Dave will enter and have their adventure.

[717 - 718]

Dipper:

Seeing the countdown, bring sudden concern for the boy and the two watchers.

"The final countdown…" Soos made a sound reference.

Webby:

"that's… problematic," Beakley said, "countdowns are troubling."

"Heh, it's four hours." Louie said, "if the place is blowing up, it's enough time for him to get out of the blast, right?"

"Depends on the explosion impact," Huey pointed out, "it might even destroy the entire planet for all we know."

Cartman:

"Okay, timer means something to happen," Stan said, "wonder what's counting down to."

"Whatever it is… it might be bad." Jimmy was concerned about the countdown.

Mabel:

"Should we be worried about this?" Mabel asked some of her companions. Though their response was to make bubbles in their mouth.

[719]

Dipper:

"Yeah, never mind what the clock is supposed to represent or what happens when it reaches zero, just continue with the imaginary city you built out of cans." Dipper gave a big sigh.

"Well, what else would he do." Soos pointed out.

Dipper didn't have the energy to argue, just going along with the pages.

Webby:

"given that it's the end of the world, I wouldn't be surprised by the wasteland's intelligence," Beakley said.

"at least we can spend more time in can town," Dewey said.

Cartman:

"Can town!" Ike shouted, making kyle happy though still in great thought, there was a lot to pack in and he's here for a good reason.

Mabel:

"yep, we shouldn't worry," Mabel said with a smile, "resume the fun, Mayor of Can town!"

[720]

Dipper:

Dipper was surprised by the sudden setup, at first he was unsure, but seeing the cans put in place, it became more clear.

"Okay, so he's going to play a game of chess." Dipper said, curious and liking the creativity with how the wastelander sees the game as a way of being a mayor. "it is a game for the mind."

"It would be interesting to play that game," Pacifica said, "I haven't played it."

"maybe I can teach you," Dipper suggested, "you can't be worse than Mabel."

Pacifica smiles, "I like that. Though we should focus on SBUB or what you call it."

Webby:

"Okay, now I see it," Huey said as they saw the design and setup of a chessboard.

"now that's some important majoring, with a good twist," Webby said, thrilled about how the chess game will turn out, pressing the next button.

Cartman:

"Hey look, chess," Tolkien said, recognising the set-up.

"Ah yeah," Kyle said, noticing it too.

"Eh, chess is so gay," Cartman said.

"I find it fun." Stan said, "played it a few times."

"Yeah, but it's so boring." Cartman pointed out, "that game is for lame nerds."

Mabel:

"Okay, this made chess even more interesting," Mabel said, curious to see how this version of chess goes, "going to be way better than playing it with Dipper, if only you have horses…"

[721]

Dipper:

In the video, Dipper watch the Wayward Vagabond play chess with himself, in the quick clip he saw, he notice that he wasn't randomly placing pieces, but following what each piece does.

Overall, it indeed skips some time, understand that players can spend hours upon hours to complete one game.

Webby:

"Talk about a four-hour game of chess," Webby comments, with Her, Huey and Beakley catching interest in the chess game while Louie and Dewey were already bored from seeing the chess and listening more to the montage tune.

"And in the end, black wins." Huey pointed out, "I wonder if that reflects that whole 'Light is destined to lose' that was mentioned earlier."

"You think he's part of the forces of darkness?" Louie said.

"Probably," Webby said, "though he doesn't seem evil, he's trying to be a nice mayor."

Cartman:

While the chess game wasn't something that the boys find interesting, they do like the music and the quick movement from the wastelander.

"And this is… mayor stuff?" Tweek questions, though liking the music.

"I don't know," Stan shrugs.

Mabel:

"Yep," Mabel smiled, "a much more fun game of chess.

Right when she finishes seeing the video, Wendy appears.

"We got another island," Wendy said, "want to land or skip?"

"Land!" Mabel said, "I want to explore more!"

"Alright." The teen said as Mabel get up and catalogue the computer, looking at the number thing on the back.

[722]

Dipper:

"Finally you notice this." Dipper was relieved.

Webby:

"Agreed," Beakley nodded.

Cartman:

"Just wait till it hits zero," Cartman suggested. "who knows what happens.

Mabel:

Arriving at her bedroom, Mabel pulls out her laptop and sees the next page.

It wasn't exciting as the video and not much to say, but she does feel sad about the fallen can civilians.

In any case, she starts punching two cards.

[723]

Dipper:

"Another Wastelander?" Dipper was curious by the sudden shift to a new character, clicking on the blue text and seeing another wastelander, this one white and pushing a cart of mailboxes.

"Mayor isn't the only living thing there." Pacifica pointed out.

Webby:

"Another one," Huey said, noticing how different this wastelander was and wondering if the colour difference showed where they were from.

Though it still questions how they ended up in the aftermath of an apocalypse.

Cartman:

"And more wasteland people," Cartman said, wanting to skip the page, only when someone else clicked on the blue text, showing what the new wastelander looks like.

"Hey," Cartman complains.

"If we're going through this webcomic, at least you pay attention to it," Kyle argued.

Mabel:

After punching her cards, Mabel takes a quick look at the new wastelander.

"Ooh, another one." She said, "maybe she can be the mayor's advisor or helper."

She captchalogues the computer again before heading away from her room.

[OS-108]

Back in the future…

Not to reference a time travel movie.

A Graytell stood over the balcony of her chest shaped castle.

Waiting for her love.

She waited for too long…

They waited for too long…

[724 - 726]

Dipper:

"Uh oh," Soos said with concern. Seeing the sudden trap doors closing.

"as I said, should have gotten our earlier." Dipper sighs.

Webby:

"Great," Webby smiles, "he's trapped!"

"Isn't that a bad thing," Louie said, before realising he was speaking to Webby, "never mind what I said."

Cartman:

"Finally something happens," Cartman said, "none of that mayor sh*t."

"I thought the mayor stuff was fun," the little girl said.

"shut up, gate crasher!"

Mabel:

After placing the laptop out, Mabel was surprised by the following pages. A little worried but curious about the clock timer, wondering what it was counting down to.

But enough of that. Time to do a small part of alchemising.

[727 - 731]

Dipper:

"Three rooms and one of them is locked," Dipper said, curious about what the rooms have and if it relates to their game.

Webby:

"Three rooms, each with a symbol" Huey pointed out, quickly sketching each symbol in his guidebook."

Cartman:

Cartman tried to skip the pages due to not caring.

Mabel:

Mabel ignored the pages as it doesn't seem important and focused on alchemising.

[OS-109]

Mabel: Combine Computer && Hairband

Mabel successfully made a Bandtop.

A headband that projects a computer screen right in front of her.

That way, if she strifes, she can read Homestuck while going out on an adventure.

She might do an alchemising montage, but her grist is low, perhaps after exploring this island and returning to her ship, she would start making more stuff.

[732]

Dipper:

"Maybe, we'll see…" Dipper said, curious about the new room.

Webby:

"Okay, new room, let's see what it is," Webby said, excited.

Cartman:

"Hope there's something cool here," Cartman said.

Mabel:

"new land for the Mayor to explore." Mabel said, getting off her boat, "maybe to expand your city."

[733]

Dipper:

"Huh…" Dipper said, seeing the panel, "location, places and time… must have importance or something."

Webby:

"Those are coordinates and time." Beakley said, "maybe a pinpoint of a location across the globe."

"where is that?"

"I'll check." Webby goes to Waddle Maps and types in the coordinates, it pinpointed a place and she zooms out the map to reveal its location."

"Okay, the location is in the South Pacific ocean"

"It's in the middle of nowhere" Louie pointed out.

"seem like it," Beakley said, "but looks can be deceiving."

Cartman:

"So another computer that's somehow lamer than the last one," Cartman said.

Mabel:

"Cool computer," Mabel said, not understanding what it looks like but still interested in how it works.

[734 - 735]

Dipper:

"Ah man, it would make a rad spear." Soos comments.

"Maybe if this ship doesn't blow up," Dipper said, not ruling out the countdown will lead to self-destruction but knowing it could be anything at this point.

Webby:

"So creative Mayor," Webby said, "and yeah, we make mistakes."

Cartman:

"Whatever." Cartman sighs, "looks like a weapon Kenny makes."

"Why, because I'm poor?" Kenny said, feeling offended by the comment. Cartman didn't answer and went to the next page.

Mabel:

"Would be a sweet spear," Mabel said, "mail flag thing with a measuring stick, it would make a good weapon.

"Like a mail pointy stick," Wendy added.

[736]

Dipper:

"Yeah, looks like a teleporter," Dipper said.

Webby:

"It does look something science, like a transporter or a death ray." Webby

"A death ray aiming directly downwards?" Louie questions

"Maybe a death ray for ants."

"We'll see what it does in later pages," Huey pointed.

Cartman:

"Okay, finally something interesting," Cartman said, "this better show something cool or this is a huge waste of time."

"This webcomic is a waste of time," Craig claims.

"It's not," Kyle said, looking down as though he hates to admit it.

"You're really siding with fatass over here?"

"No, but… it's hard to explain."

Mabel:

"Looks sciancy." Mabel said, "Dipper or Gunkle Ford would know."

[737 - 738]

Dipper:

Dipper snaps his fingers, "yep, transporter."

"Woah," Soos was impressed, even Pacifica was curious.

"So, it can teleport anything right."

Dipper recalls what the numbers showed, not just a location but two other pieces of information such as height and time.

"You might be close to the truth."

Webby:

"Yep, it's a transporter," Webby said, smiling at the sudden pumpkin appearing.

"Amazing," Huey said, taking a note, "I wonder if those numbers are targeting a certain location."

"More than that," Beakley said, "it showed a timer, does it mean it's amplify anything from space and time?"

"That would be cool if it does," Dewey admits.

Cartman:

"Wow, he teleported a pumpkin." Cartman wasn't impressed, while the other boys found it cool, but nothing exciting.

They have seen better things.

Mabel:

"A teleporty food dispenser!" Mabel claims, happy to see the science thing, "now he has something to eat!"

[739 - 740]

Dipper:

"what's amplify?" Pacifica said, noting the name of the device being an amplifier.

"It means turning up a volume," Dipper said, remembering his sounds making skills, "though for this case, it being used to make copies"

"So that pumpkin is a clone?"

"maybe," Dipper wasn't sure, but still curious about the device that he didn't care about the dog face on the pumpkin.

Webby:

"Alright, so we got a clone making amplifier that can clone anything from space and time." Webby said, "and the first thing he cloned was a pumpkin with a doggy face."

"Weird, considering that pumpkin would more likely come from the South Pacific Ocean." Huey pointed out,

"Maybe pumpkins are native there?" Webby suggested

"In the middle of the ocean?" Louie pointed out.

"Maybe there's a secret island."

Cartman:

"So long as he teleports something better than a lame pumpkin," Cartman comments, curious about the teleport thing but not so much as getting the webcomic over with.

Mabel:

Mabel giggled at the pumpkin, ignoring the complicated information of an 'Apperifier' whatever that means.

"haha, doggy face…"

[741 - 743]

There isn't much to talk about as the pages mostly are information on how the amplifier works, it was a matter of reading and moving along for something interesting to happen.

[744]

Dipper:

Dipper was surprised at how the wastelander used logic to amplify his knife from the other room. "giving points to him, he's smart to figure out where the knife is." Dipper said.

Webby:

"that's neat," Webby said, seeing how the wastelander use a human measuring stick to figure out where the knife was and then amplifying it where he was.

"Save walking to the other room." Louie said, "that would be something to have."

"guess humans have similar measurements as we do," Huey said, adding that note to the human information on the guidebook.

Cartman:

"Now he can make that sweet spear," Cartman said.

"Fuck yeah." Kenny comments.

Mabel:

"you got that mail knife," Mabel said before looking at Wendy, "the wasteland guy got his trusty rusty knife back."

"Good for him," Wendy smiled, holding her axe in case another monster encountered.

[745]

Mabel:

"And he brought Can Town with him!" Mabel shouted, alerting nearby imps rushing to their location.

"Ready Mabel?" Wendy asked.

"yep," Mabel pulls out her grabbling hook, willing to fight while reading.

[746]

Dipper:

"Saying it like it's teleporting and not cloning," Dipper said, a little confusing if the amplifier is either a transporter or a cloning machine.

It was at this moment when he realise that the word isn't amplified but apperify. This isn't a word, but it pretty much answers that the device is a transporter.

"Okay never mind, now I'm dumb," Dipper said.

Webby:

"well, Deappearify is not a word." Huey said, "wait… appear if…" Huey presses his forehead, feeling stupid to miss out on the spelling of a word, "okay, this is a transporter, not a cloning machine."

"About time you guys notice," Louie takes a sip from his Pep.

Cartman:

"appearify, disappearify, don't even know what those words mean. Either way sounds gay." Cartman comments.

Mabel:

Mabel couldn't comment much as she is too busy fighting imps, but she laughed while fighting against the image of the wastelander feeling dumb.

[746]

Dipper:

"Agreed," Dipper said, "you have to eat, but still you're eating insides of a pumpkin."

Webby:

"yeah, I would rather not eat anything from a pumpkin." Dewey said, "better as decoration."

"but make sense because he hasn't eaten anything." Webby pointed out, "he did eat that smelly rotten pumpkin earlier."

Cartman:

"but more interesting to watch," Cartman said, liking to see people doing gross stuff for a laugh.

"yeah, I would rather not," Stan said, as most of the boys while liking seeing gross stuff, didn't want to see someone eating the guts and seeds of a pumpkin.

Mabel:

"That would be gross." Mabel said, finishing off an imp, "though eating those summerween melons was a treat."

"they are," Wendy said, swinging an axe at another imp.

[747 - 750]

Dipper:

"got that firefly out." Dipper comments.

Webby:

"yay, that firefly is out!" Webby said, right when Scrooge McDuck and Gyro appear in the TV room.

Cartman:

"Sweet got that firefly out," Stan said.

"Great, that's cool." Cartman was uninterested.

"Yeah, it's just a bug." Craig pointed out.

"still," Stan shrugs, "better than being trapped."

Mabel:

Right when she finish fighting, Mabel was delighted to see the firefly friend free from his prison.

"Great, the light of the can is free at last!" she pushed her arms in the air, both celebrating her victory and the firefly's freedom.

[OS-110]

"Alright, got my gold out of the bin, you ready?"

Webby turns to the timer, seeing that there are less than 7 minutes left

"right!" Webby remembered, jumping out of the sofa and dashing out of the room, with the triplets and Lenasprite following.

[751]

Dipper:

Knowing about the amp… appearifler, Dipper thought about the idea of how the rotten pumpkin would work, recalling how the wastelander had eaten that pumpkin. To his idea, it would create a paradox since that pumpkin would never be eaten.

Still, he's curious about what would happen.

Webby:

"Sweet, he's going to amplify something in the past!" Webby said.

"Wouldn't that cause a paradox?" Huey asked, "he ate the pumpkin, so teleporting the pumpkin would cause problems."

"Are you on about time travel stuff?" Gyro asked, hearing the conversation, "because I might or might not be working on a time machine and know the topic."

"Can you take away something that's already eaten?"

"Well, it depends really." Gyro said, "you either create an alternate timeline or the universe blows up."

"Actually, it's a bit more complex and the universe doesn't blow up." Lena pointed out.

"Is this about the doomed timelines you mentioned earlier?" Huey asked.

"that's different," Lena said, "for now, let's just say Paradox space can correct itself."

Cartman:

"Really, that smelly f**king pumpkin you want to teleport?" Cartman questions. With the rest agreed.

Mabel:

"Ew, not that old pumpkin." Mabel complains, "why not go back further when the pumpkin is fresher?"

[752]

Dipper:

"Good to know," Dipper said, stratified that the appearifier can figure out how to deal with objects that if taken would cause a time paradox.

Webby:

"And paradox resolved," Webby said, "See, nothing to worry about."

After that conclusion, Webby managed to make a totem of her key item.

Cartman:

"Slime is much better than some lame rotten pumpkin," Cartman said, chuckling at the wastelander's failed attempt.

"Gross man," Craig said, getting a bit tired of watching the webcomic.

Mabel:

"Is that supposed to happen, turning it into a slimy pumpkin?" Mabel asked with no expected answer. Continuing her journey on the island.

[753 - 754]

Dipper:

"Again, a smart move and a way to get out…" Dipper took a breath, a little worried as he reach near the first gate, "but you might not have enough time…"

Webby:

"And he freed himself!" Webby celebrated, arriving at the main hall.

Cartman:

Not much to comment for the boys, at this point, one certain boy had enough.

Mabel:

"Yeah! Now get out there!" Mabel cried before her attention was caught by something in the distance.

[755]

Dipper:

"He wasted a huge amount of time." Pacifica pointed out. "collecting nothing but cans."

"you would do the same with your valuables," Dipper assaulted, though the formally rich girl couldn't disagree with him.

Webby:

Not much to talk about as the group was more focused on the alchemiter. Though expected the wastelander had not enough time to escape.

"So, we have to put the totem here and we're in?" Huey asked.

"Webby have to complete a puzzle," Lena pointed out, right when Webby placed her totem on the Alchemiter. "it's like unlocking a door."

"and this thing is the key!" Webby said, giggling in hype to entering the game.

Cartman:

"well, he's dead." Craig said, getting off his seat, "f*ck this webcomic and f*ck this party, I'm out!"

He proceed to leave, with Tweek surprised and getting off his seat, wanting his boyfriend to come back, "Craig!"

Other boys follow, except for Cartman, who felt that all of the boring stuff had led to something exciting.

Mabel:

"don't worry, Mayor," Mabel said in an attempt to cheer the Mayor up, "I know you want Can Town, could have made one in the wasteland, but at least we'll know what happens next!"

[756]

Dipper:

"Alright, this feels like the end," Dipper said, arriving near the gate that Webby managed to make a good passageway and space for the gate.

Webby:

"we're doing this man!" Webby said

Cartman:

"We are doing this!"

Mabel:

"We're Making it happen!" Mabel shouts, dashing towards the interesting landmark with Wendy following.

[OS-111]

Craig: Leave

It was a good time for him to leave, anything that has something to do with Cartman was already a red flag, he should have expected him to do something stupid or lame or right out of the left field.

This was incredibly lame.

And yet others were trying to stop him.

"Craig!" Tweek shouted, catching his attention.

"No!" he complains, "I don't want to watch more of that shit!"

"come on man, he might be onto something," Stan said.

"Yeah, maybe he is the cause of the end of the world and we can leave, together!"

"and end up wherever we go with that asshole?" Craig questions, "I rather die than spend a second with him."

"but Craig!"

"let me try," Kyle said, stepping in before the frightened boy.

"I know, Cartman is a jerk and this webcomic might not show much, but it's important."

"that's rich from you." Craig said, "I thought you hated him."

"I do," Kyle said, "but…" he paused, thinking about his words, recalling something someone said to him earlier.

"Everything happens for a reason, there's no escape, we could only do what needs to be done and deal with the consequences."

Kyle takes a step back. a sad yet confident look on his face.

"I'm sorry that this has to happen, I would take your place, but it has to be you."

"the f**k are you on about-"

SLAM!

A sudden small meteor strikes down on Craig. Jumping many who witness the strike.

"Jesus!" Stan shouted seeing the big rock where Craig stood.

"C… C…. Craig?" Tweek said with utter shaking, looking down at the only thing left of his boyfriend.

A severed hand.

"CRAIG!"

[757]

Dipper:

He watches the video

The music was great,

The imagery was sad.

Many questions ponder the mind of the boy.

Seeing the destruction, the time flow, like watching things goes from humble beginnings to decaying end.

All while seeing new stuff, such as a passageway for Rose to get away from the fire and where John's father is in all of this, leading to a clue

It was much to pack, he watch the video again, taking his time and deciphering every bit of it.

If it showed this much, then it was clear this was the end.

"I'm going to do it," Dipper said, remembering the agreement with him and his sister. It might not be the right time, but how he is to the gate, doing it now would be the better option before entering.

"Defend me while I sleep," Dipper said.

"Excuse me?" Pacifica questioned when Dipper lay on the floor.

"Hard to explain, but I want to know, let me sleep."

He proceeds to sleep.

Webby:

While waiting for the item to appear. They watch the video together, Scrooge, Launchpad and Gyro have questions since they haven't seen much of the story.

They would keep watching the video, but there was little time.

Right when the video ends, an item appeared.

Cartman:

Cartman watches the video, seeing something interesting for once, liking the music and the look, seeing the destruction of meteors and craters, a flying cylinder throughout the wasteland.

"Worth watching all that crap," Cartman said with a satisfying sigh.

"CRAIG!" a cry was heard outside, Cartman was angered by the disruption.

"Shut the f**k up, Tweek, this webcomic showed something cool for once!"

Mabel:

Mabel watch the video as she journeyed across the island, she loved the music, delighted to see the countdown wasn't destruction but a flying thing.

The only downside was seeing the destruction, the sudden change of the world as it grows old.

It left a sense of huge uncertainty for the girl, seeing the Earth turn into a wasteland, seeing a weird frog building getting flooded.

Either way, she was thrilled by the video. Nearly as thrilled as what's up ahead.

Webby: Enter

Webby hopped onto the platform, seeing the key item.

A treasure chest.

"This is giving me chills down to my tail!" Webby said, excited to see a brilliant chest.

"bet the key is inside!"

With no hesitation, she grab hold of the upper part of the chest and lifted it, it was unlocked and easy to open.

She dig into the containment of the chest, but from one look alone, her smile dropped to confusion.

There was nothing in the chest.

"Where…" she said with worry, right when the manor lighted up, signalling the entrance to the Medium.

"Where's the treasure?"

Meanwhile in the future.

McGucket was ready.

"Alright, we're doing this! Time to skittle out of this world and into a new one!"

He presses a button, a time counts from two seconds.

"Goodbye! Gravity Fall!"

[OS-115]

[S] McGucket: Ascend

Song: '[Remix/Tribute] Homestuck – Explore' by KhanRecordz

It was quiet, the wasteland of what was Gravity Falls was quiet, once a place with the supernatural, home of residents who live their regular lives on the cliffside of a little town.

Now reduces to dust, the exotic creatures died out centuries ago, the residents were gone, nothing more than what was left behind.

A fallen giant of a lumberjack.

A manor stood still underneath the sand.

The metal rusty tree with the underground bunker getting filled in with sand.

And a giant white opened Christmas cracker, waiting for a certain Haysaul and an old hobo to do the last amazing moment for this world.

Without warning, Haysaul felt the rumble on his feet. Unaware of what was going on, the only one who did, was celebrating in the other room.

Because he knew what will happen.

The entire cracker begins to lift from the ground. Sand fell out of the cracks from the sharp edges of the cracker, it was flying higher than the cliffs.

Then it vanishes.

Meanwhile, in the Medium, Mabel explored, arriving at a hillside before looking out to her destination.

It looked like ruins of some sort, but beyond even further was a giant mountain.

Somewhere else, at an unknown purple location, imps lead and place two new strangers into their cell.

A man in a suit and a man in a jacket.

Before shifting towards a bedroom, where a young boy woke up, finding himself in a familiar place but different, wearing purple clothes that he had never seen before.

He looked out of the window, expecting to see a blue ball.

Instead, he saw a new figure.

A girl with blue hair.

Then she disappears before his eyes, not enough time to get a proper look.

The charismas cracker appeared, finding itself in a new place, falling hard to the ground.

The two passengers recover and exit out of the cracker, finding another wasteland, only that the location was different, with no cliffs, only one big hill.

A hill that contains a giant white treasure chest.
