After dropping Eva off at Jugga's cave, Dipper continued on with his quest. Dipper checked his map and headed to a place called Spooky Village. He soon arrived and was greeted by the first real place that looked like an actual town. Dipper walked down the street that appeared to be abandoned, but every now and then he would see squirrels wearing clothes sticking out from behind corners and peeping through windows and then disappear. Dipper didn't know if they were trouble, but he pulled out his frying pan just to be on the safe side. Dipper passed a pub called "The Slaughtered Lamb" and a store called "Coffins R Us" and quickly picked up the pace. He soon came across a peer overlooking what appeared to be a river of blood next to a gated graveyard and saw a mysterious short hooded figure slashing at the bloody water with a scythe.

"Ug! Stupid cat hold still!" Growled the hooded figure as he swung his scythe at what appeared to be some cat fishes.

"What are you doing?" Asked Dipper as he approached the hooded figure.

"Trying to claim the souls of these stupid fishes. Blasted things have nine lives, which make them extra annoying!" Growled the hooded figure as they turned to face Dipper.

Dipper was shocked to see that the figure was a skeleton with a gold tooth and he realized that the figure had to be Death!

"The Grim Reaper?!" Said Dipper taking a step back.

"The names Gregg the Grim Reaper. Relax kid, I ain't here to claim your soul, you still got a fairly long life ahead of you." Said Gregg.

"Well, I guess that's good to know. Have you seen any human girls around here?" Said Dipper.

"I did. I saw a couple of twins get taken up to Count Batula's place. Don't know what that creepy vampire is doing with them." Said Gregg.

"How do I get there?" Asked Dipper.

"Through the graveyard over there, but it's got a zombie problem. I hate zombies. Really stubborn and annoying things." Said Gregg.

"Well I have to go through there. I'm not turning back." Said Dipper.

"You're a brave one. Alright since you're going in there here's a little something that should give you a hand." Said Gregg as he gave Dipper a shotgun.

"Whoa." Said Dipper.

"Just shoot them in the head and that'll kill the zombies. Good luck to you kid." Said Gregg.

Dipper took a deep breath before entering the graveyard. At first everything was peaceful, then undead squirrels burst from the ground and shambled towards Dipper. Dipper let out a startled scream and shot one zombie in the chest knocking it back into the others, but the zombie quickly recovered and continued charging. The boy remembered what Gregg had told him and aimed for the head. Bam! The gun fired and destroyed the head of a zombie. Dipper fired some more destroying and killing more zombies. He began to feel very confident as he killed one zombie after another. Soon all the zombies were dead.

"Man I wish some girls had been around to see me do that." Thought Dipper as he walked through the graveyard and towards the lair of Count Batula.

To be continued.
