3. Chapter 3

V Wolf: Act 2 Episode 3, Phantoms of Amber Mountain

Two days after Vito and Wendy babysat for Al, Dipper and Mabel, the two teens ditched school with Elton, Tambry, and Robbie for the rest of the day to find a spot for hosting a big party as a late celebration of Wendy's 16th birthday this Friday night. They parked their cars on the edge of a road and walk to a nearby ghost town named Amber Mountain, part of a mountain town close by Gravity Falls called Amber Sky to the northwest, centered around the real Amber Mountain that towers over Amber Sky and even Gravity Falls. "Say Wendy, is Emily, okay? She understood the message, right?" Vito asks her. "Don't worry, she got the message. She's going to leave you alone." Wendy tells him the good news. "Good, good, I thought about what you said to me days ago, and I've been thinking that she can be friends with the both of us as long as she understands the obvious." Vito told her his thoughts. This shocks the group; they didn't expect him to let Emily into his life after her behavior to him. Wendy was shocked at first but is happy that he got over his discomfort with Emily after she let him go. "Good to hear, I'm glad to see that you're happy to chill with her now, she's nice." Wendy then said about Emily. "You're shitting me, right? Why would you be friends with that nerd?" Robbie asks them. Tambry is offended by his remark. "She understood I wasn't into her, didn't she? Emily from the sound of it from Wendy and Tambry, is somewhat decent. Awkward, but decent." Vito tells Robbie. "Shut up. Emily is not bad, she's just socially awkward and is a bit energetic." Wendy responded, defending Emily as she was cutting off branches and through bushes with her axe. "Here it is gang, the infamous Amber Mountain. This is going to be a great place for a banger." Wendy tells Vito, Elton, Tambry and Robbie as they look at the abandoned mining town from what was left from one of the bushes. The town was surrounded by trees, bushes, grass and other foliage. The shacks and buildings were made of wooden planks, wooden logs and some were made of stone and bricks. They had a fair share of broken windows, broken walls, and missing doors, and some are covered in vines. Amber mountain was in ruins. "How did you find this place?" Vito asks her. "Dipper showed me it on googly earth and said it'd be a good place to throw party. He wasn't wrong." Wendy tells him as they walk in the middle of what used to be Main Street of Amber Mountain. "A ghost town of this size could hold about over a hundred teens at least." Vito said while looking around as walks with them. "Not mention it'd make a good place to have a concert for me and my band. I wasn't surprised that you've heard of Robbie V and the Tombstones Vito." Robbie then brags. "I only heard of it from seeing one of Chance's friends wearing a t shirt with your face on it during that night." Vito bluntly tells him. "Wait what? Oh, come the fuck on! My talent starts to get noticed, and one of the first people who notices it are a bunch of cannibalistic, cultist, pedophiles!" Robbie then rants. "You a musician too?" Elton asks Robbie. "I've been doing this hobby for years since I was seven. You play any instruments?" He then asks the moody goth. "Lead and Guitar." He answers. "I play guitar, bass, and drums." Elton tells him. "I also do dancing and singing. I often listen to classic hard rock and metal from the 70s, 80s and 90s in particular." He then said to him. "Don't need to boast dude." Robbie said out of insecurity. Vito then hears something or someone from one of the mine entrances; it sounded like someone is already here. "Help us leave." The voice he heard said. "Guys, I think I heard something in one of the mines. I'll catch up with you guys in a few minutes." Vito tells the group. "Okay V, we'll be looking through one of the shacks and see if there's anything cool." Wendy replied.

Vito walks to one of the mine entrances, walking past an empty mine cart, and seeing that the entrance to it has been boarded up. Vito uses his super strength to break the wooden boards and enters the dusty, rat and cobweb infested mines. "Is there a ghost here or something?" He asks himself as he looks around the mine tunnel through his night vision and pulls out his EMF detector in his backpack to see if there's anything unusual. The voices grew louder and louder as he got closer and closer, his emf detector was going off the charts, and when he passes by another tunnel to his right, he saw a brunette woman in her early twenties, wearing blue jeans and a wool, grey jacket and is covered in blood, and missing a hand like it got cut off recently, and is suffering a big cut on her head. She has a dated 80s haircut, permed hair. Behind her are three other bloodied and wounded people who're the same age as her, and one of them is holding a VSH camcorder, they also have dated hairstyles from the 1980s. "HELP US LEAVE!!" The woman cried out to him. Vito gasps, feeling startled and almost trips onto the ground. Before he looks in that direction again, they were gone. "Who and what the hell was that?" He asks himself, confused at first, but it becomes clear to him that this abandoned mining town is haunted with ghosts. "I don't know if it's even safe to explore these tunnels further than I have. I'll have to get back to the group." Vito tells himself as he exits the mine's tunnels. "Where did they go? Which shack?" He asks himself. "Wendy!" Vito shouted her name. Wendy came out of Amber Mountain's deserted general store. "Hey man what's up?" She asks as she comes out of the general store's two door doorway. "I didn't find much for you in the general store. I broke into one of the chests and it was just moldy food and cigars." She informs him. "About what I thought I heard, I am pretty sure I encountered ghosts, four of them, and they were covered in blood and mutilated. The girl who was with them begged me to help them leave Amber Mountain or some crap. I don't know. This town is haunted, we're going to need to take some precautions before we choose to host a party here." Vito tells Wendy. "Ever encountered ghosts before?" He then asks her while he looks around them, afraid the others could be listening to him and see him as insane. "Only one time when me and my friends broke into an abandoned convenient store. Outside of that, not much. That's Dipper's thing." Wendy tells him. Elton then chimes in, coming out of Amber Mountain's saloon and asks in a joking manner "Wait, this place is haunted?" Robbie and Tambry followed him out of the saloon with a case of wine they've found in an icebox. "Yeah, we're all going to die!" Wendy jokes back. "Guys, I'm being serious here. I saw something strange back there. What's the history with Amber Mountain?" Vito then asks them. "Relax V it's not going to be as bad as it sounds." Wendy assured him. "It better not, I must have been smoking the wrong spliffs. What else did this bookworm tell you about Amber Mountain?" He then asks her. "Me and some of my friends have been here before, but we didn't host a large gathering." She admits. "Dipper isn't the only one who knows the story behind this place, my mom used to tell this story to me and my brothers almost all the time. Almost a hundred years ago in 1920, the armed largest labor uprising in the American west coast happened here in Amber Mountain between a worker's union called Amber Sky, and the Schwab corporation who got pinker-tons and the US army to crush them. For about fifty years of striking to get better working conditions, better pay, shorter hours, etcetera since this town was founded weren't working for the workers. The Schwab family got rich from not just mining coal, but also jewels, gold, and of course amber, hence how the town got its name. They, being the stingy, and cross snobs that they are, of course refused their requests time and time again, so they formed an insurrection against the company town and its local government. Tons of people died during the month-long battle, including Amber Sky's founder, Dave Jones died from a gunshot wound in the stomach." Wendy tells them the story of the battle of Amber Mountain. "Strange that I didn't hear about this story till now. My old boss would talk endlessly about workers rights and labor uprisings, such as the Battle of Blair Mountain and Harlan County. Why didn't he bring up this one?" Vito then asks himself. "Beats me." Wendy answers. "Your old boss was a socialist huh? Sounds rad." Tambry comments. "It's rad till you find out your boss is just as greedy as the people who he criticized." Vito sounds off. He then realizes he was bleeding his cards, as Tambry is surprised and bummed out to hear what his old boss was like, and Wendy is nonverbally telling him to change the subject immediately. "So… what about those four ghosts I've seen in the tunnels? They looked slightly older than most of us and one of them was carrying a big and old video camera. I can't just look it up because the Wi-Fi signals in this whole damn county is shit." Vito then complains after asking, while trying to use his phone. "Dude, you're in rural America now. What do you expect?" Wendy asks, annoyed by Vito's complaining. Vito sighs and said and then asks "I… I don't know. Did some people come by here decades ago? Like during the 80s?" "It wouldn't surprise me. This place has most likely been the home of squatters, and I've found graffiti of crude drawings and remarks on the back of the saloon and graffiti of a muffin." Elton said to him. "How many times do I have to tell people!? It's an explosion." Robbie yells. "You should probably retake art class." Wendy tells him. "Yeah, whatever you say." He replies with his hands in his pockets, feeling moody. "You're a fine artist babe." Tambry cheers her boyfriend up while leaning towards one of his shoulders. Robbie smiles.

"Okay, I'll find out later. Who do we call that has the expertise with this spooky stuff?" Vito asks Wendy. "Ghost busters!" Elton jokes. "We can always have Dipper, Mabel, Soos, and myself included to look into this." Wendy tells him. "Bad idea, we shouldn't risk civilians getting themselves killed here. I don't want to see dead kids ever again. Besides I know professionals who can check this place out and see if it's safe." Vito said to her, referring to the PAD cell he's a member of. "You're freaking kidding me, right? They could get onto us, and we'd all get into trouble." She warns him. "Not if we don't tell them that we're going to be having a party here." Vito answers. "We could delay the party to be on Saturday night than this Friday night. Have them check the place out on two separate days." Vito suggested. "Good idea. Who should we get to do the job first?" She then asks. "I go with your group to scope the place out first on Thursday, and then me and those ghost hunters check out Amber Mountain for hazards and threats on Friday. If the ghost town is safe, we can have a wild, teenage party full of drugs, booze and obnoxiously loud music here Saturday night." Vito lays out a plan. Wendy happily gives him two thumbs up, Tambry smirks and nods at him, while Elton said, "Not a bad idea at all." The only one in doubt was Robbie. "Since when did you qualify as a ghost hunting expert? I mean I know you're capable of fucking people up more ways that we can believe, more so than even Wendy and her family. But you a ghost hunter?" Robbie questions him. Vito rolls his eyes in annoyance. "For god's sake, ever since I came to this town, you've always been pressing me about shit. Can you PLEASE MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS?" He then demands Robbie to stop asking him personal questions. "Boys, can you not?" Wendy asks them both to stop fighting. It has been clear to her that Vito and Robbie don't get along past this point. "Fine then." Robbie said. "Touchy son of a bitch." He then mutters quietly under his breath.

Three days later at six o'clock pm, before Vito could leave for the party, with his black leather jacket on, and his navy blue, flat cap on, his mother gets his attention through a loud, fake cough. "What is it mom?" Vito asks her, trying to be polite. "Where do you think you're going?" Bonnie Lupo asks. "I told you hours ago, I'm going to a school party for all the new students there. It's part of a fundraiser to help children, the homeless, the elderly, the homeless children and homeless elderly stay off of drugs and gangs." Vito lied to his mother. It was a lie he memorized days earlier from Wendy and her friends. "Strange, I didn't hear about this from the school website." Bonnie says, doubting him. "It's a student organized fundraiser. That's probably why it's not on there." Vito weasels his way out of it. "Oh, that makes sense. How about you bring Al along with you?" His mother suggests. Al was sitting on the couch pretending to watch something educational on the television, when he is really watching WWE on his smart phone. "Dunno, that party sounds pretty gay. Out of character for him to attend to if you ask me." Al interrupts them. "Only people who attend Gravity Falls High can attend." Vito tells them. "That doesn't make sense. Why wouldn't they allow outsiders in? They'd raise more money if they allow more people into this party." Bonnie finds a hole in Vito's story. "Doesn't matter, you need to take Al with you." Bonnie insists to her oldest son. Both of her sons roll their eyes, with Vito grunting a very loud "ugh." "What did I just say mom?" Vito loudly asks her. "Bonnie, let him leave. He has a life." Anthony Lupo said to his wife, while reading his Gravity Falls Gossiper newspaper on one of the chairs. Vito then opens the door. "You're a weasel Vito and you don't even give a rat's ass about you badly influence your only brother!" Bonnie cries out. As Vito was about to head out the door, he said to her without a hint of emotion "How? He doesn't even want to go." Vito then goes to his car and drives off to the party. "He's not wrong you know." Al said to his mother. "I'm not in the mood!!" Bonnie shouts at him, then storming to her and her husband's bedroom, while sobbing, slamming the door as Vito heads out. "Was mom ever okay since she and I discovered your and my brother's secret?" He then asks his dad. "No, not that I can recall kid. She's probably on her period today and is more bitchy than usual." Anthony said to him, while turning to the next page of his newspaper. Al then gets on his phone to contact Wendy about what the party is really about. At the Corduroy cabin, Wendy sends some text messages to Al while in her room on her bed, telling him that it wasn't a party for some fundraiser as she was copying and pasting from a Wikipedia page for her history report, after she was done looking up answers for algebra problems. "Is this party what I think it is?" The text from Al said. Wendy types away on her phone confirming that it's what he thinks it is. "Can I come along with you guys?" Al asks through a text message. Wendy has to think carefully about bringing Al to the Amber Mountain party, he's still a kid and her new friend would be very frustrated if she allowed him to come to a party like what they're about to throw down, he needs to have people who'd keep him in check, Dipper and Mabel, who she was going to invite to the wild party anyway. "Hahaha yeah sure, but don't drink the 'expired apple juice and cider, or the 'expired fruit punch.' They're just code words for something else here in this town. Don't take anything from strangers and always bring your drink with you, even to the bathroom. Got it?" Wendy then asks him through a text message. Al gives her a thumbs up emoji in the chat. Wendy finished copying and pasting her history report on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, uploads the word document to RKCS (Roadkill County Public Schools) website after changing a couple of words and sentences to look like she wasn't cheating, and closes her laptop. She opens the door, only to face her father standing in front of the doorway, with his arms crossed. "Okay, what did I do this time? Anything else I should do before I hang with my friends?" She asks. "You trying to sneak out at night again, eh?" Manly Dan asks. "No, I'm going to a party organized independently by students, as a fundraiser to help the poor and stuff. Nothing illegal." Wendy said to her dad. "Uh huh. You sure you're not destroying mailboxes with your friends again?" Manly Dan presses her, doubting her. "No dad, I'm not." Wendy assured him while walking past him. "Wendy, before you go, I need to do something, just one chore." Manly Dan tells his daughter. She turns around, frustrated. Wendy has already prepared lunch for the family, washed both her dad's car and her own, and raked the leaves. She already has enough homework. "God I wish I still worked at the mystery shack part time." Wendy thought to herself. "What is it dad?" She asks him, with her looking at the floor. "Can you put the axes away, off the target board in the family room?" Manly Dan asks her. She then looks the target board which has five axes stuck to it, while the sixth one broke the tv, with bits of glass everywhere on the coffee table and floor, and sparks were going off from the broken TV. This is posed as a fire hazard, and she immediately plugged the TV off the outlet and threw it in the trash before it could set their cabin on fire. She then starts putting the axes away. Her brother then looks at her and does the "zipping mouth shut and throwing away the zipper" gesture. She gives the gesture right back at him.

It's ten o'clock at night, it's been three hours since the party started and over a hundred teens from Gravity Falls High School are there as Wendy, Vito, and their group has the whole party set up with Wendy had one of her classmates charging guests twenty bucks per entry to make tons of money, and Vito acting as the sole bouncer to make sure nobody starts trouble. Two rules were established at the Amber Mountain party, no kids and no cops. Many of the guests are playing games like beer pong, hacky sack, and lawn darts. Music like indie rock, metal, and synth music are blaring through the stereo speakers. The guests were vandalizing parts of the ghost town and getting intoxicated on almost every drug and substance imaginable. "Hey Wendy, thanks for letting me, Mabel and Al in for free." Dipper thanks Wendy as he walks into the Amber Mountain party and past the big, brutish, jock bouncers Vito hired, with his two friends. "You sure Vito won't be mad by us being here?" He then asks her. "Yeah, my brother tends to have a very angry, mean streak." Al brings up. "He'd be alright. Vito often goes out of his way to be nice to me." Wendy said to them. "Oh, he does?" Mabel asks, guessing why he'd do that, smirking. "Wow, that's great." Dipper said, feeling glad. "But about our adventure into the Amber Mountain mines on Thursday after me, Mabel and Al ditched middle school to help you scope the place out. I saw and found strange anomalies inside them. I saw and discovered multiple ghosts, not just the ones Vito said he saw, but ghosts of the miners who I think died during the battle, shouting at me not to disturb their graves. And I think some of the dinosaurs escaped from being entrapped in tree sap in there." Dipper tells Wendy. "Like the ones you discovered during that adventure to rescue Waddles?" Wendy asks. "Yeah, I'm worried something really terrible will happen tonight. Like velociraptors coming out of the mines and ripping everyone to shreds, or something like what happened in the northwest manor or that abandoned Dusk 2 Dawn store." Dipper tells her, feeling anxious. Wendy rolls her eyes and says to him in confidence "Dude, I'm not canceling this event. I have made two thousand and four hundred dollars from this night alone. Besides I doubt it'd happen, Vito and his other group had it covered. Everything will be fine." "Yeah, Dipper is just being paranoid again, right?" Mabel asks, unsure of what he is worried about would happen. "Eh, we kicked paranormal ass before days ago, and we'll do it again." Al said with confidence, feeling indifferent to the possibility, shrugging it off. "You see? Al gets it." Wendy tells Dipper and Mabel. "That's right, he's one of the realest lil ones ever!" Nate abruptly entered the conversation, with his best friend Lee beside him. "I know right?" Lee asks him. Nate and Lee then give each other a high five. "Didn't you get stabbed in the leg?" Dipper asks him. "Yeah, and I magically got healed with the whole house getting repaired since we broke some curse by an Indian burial ground. What's your point?" Al then asks him. "Dude, in case you didn't notice, Gravity Falls and perhaps Roadkill County is very dangerous, and it's gotten even stranger and arguably more dangerous than last summer. Vito said all these terrorists, cults, criminals, shady organizations and even the United States government are here to study, secure and contain anomalies here for their own purposes. For all we know they could turn them into weapons, or worse." Dipper explains. "What does he know about this strange, supernatural crap or what's going on?" Al asks him confused. "That's just a theory he told me." Dipper nervously tells him, hiding the truth from Al that Vito is a PAD agent. "Okay, I'll take your word for it." Al believes him.

When Dipper expressed his concerns to Wendy, Vito remembered what Malik warned him about what could happen if Amber Mountain was disturbed unless they took precautions. Yesterday, Vito, Malik, along with the rest of the Thunderbird squad placed and set up barriers and traps to contain and capture spirits inside mines and at the mine entrances to keep them from coming to the surface. They even put caution tape and anti-ghost wires at the entrances, so people won't get themselves killed and ghosts can't get out of the mines. "Alright, think of the positives, the barriers and traps are set up, so a category eleven event shouldn't happen. Just make sure the guests don't do anything stupid." Vito tells himself while walking around the party, half-drunk, checking every corner and building in Amber Mountain with his Maria in his holster. He then receives a text message from Wendy. It said "Yo angry wolf man, me, Tambry, Elton, Robbie, Nate, Lee, and another friend of mine are playing truth or dare in one of room B2 in the rickety hotel. Come join us." Vito then types "Yeah, I'll be there. Just need to check in with the jocks I've hired as bouncers." He sends it. Vito then calls the bouncers in a group call. "Guys, can one of you guys take my place? I'm going on a thirty-minute break with some friends of mine. Everyone knows what to do if anything goes wrong?" He asks them through his Bluetooth headset for his phone. "Alright boss, I'm on it. This not a bad party at all for a new student, it's like Project X up in here." One of the bouncers said to him over the phone. "Thanks Marcus." Vito thanks him. He walks to the abandoned hotel and goes inside room B2. He is shocked to find that Dipper is in the room, playing truth or dare with them. Vito is stunned in disbelief, one of the rules specifically said no kids allowed. "Wendy what is Dipper doing here? He's too young to be at a party like this." Vito said to her. "It's cool V, he's a teen like us. Plus, he's pretty mature for his age. If makes you any better, I got some of the nerds to disrupt police communications." Wendy then compliments Dipper. Dipper blushes for a bit. "Okay, you're not wrong about that. I just don't want anymore kids running around in the Amber Mountain party." Vito admits. "There aren't anymore than this guy, are they?" Vito asks the people in the room. "Not that I know of." Elton answers. "No." Robbie said. "Dunno." Wendy tells him. Vito then sits down in the group circle, sitting next to Dipper, who was sitting on the floor beside Wendy. They noticed he is somewhat drunk, and this gives Robbie an opportunity to figure out who Vito actually is. "Who's turn is it?" Vito asks, then hiccups. Wendy and Dipper look at him in concern. "It's your's since Dipper did the last truth. He said he beat the ghosts at Dusk 2 Dawn by doing the Lamby Dance last summer." Nate tells him. "Shut up, shut up." Dipper said. "I'm not even going to ask what that is." Vito said. "Thanks man." Dipper said to Vito. "Truth or dare Vito." Robbie offers him two options. Vito doesn't want to answer any questions about himself. He already told Wendy about his dark past, and Dipper knew all about it before he met him. "Dare." Vito chooses. "I dare you to chug down whatever is left in your flask in one go, and if you fail, you have to do truth." Robbie dares Vito. "No problema." Vito replied. He then gets out his flask which is half full of whisky and chugs down in one go as everyone cheers him on. Vito burps.

After a series of dares, Vito drank so much that he wasn't thinking straight and feels pretty dizzy. "Jesus Christ, I don't know if I can do anymore dares at this point. I had to throw up from one of the windows, I didn't even mean it hit on one of those cheerleaders." Vito moaned. "Don't sweat it, that was hilarious." Lee tells him. Nate then laughs along with his best friend Lee. "Okay since you don't want to do anymore dares, you need to tell the truth." Robbie told Vito. "Do your worst." Vito said. "Where are you really from?" Robbie asks him. Wendy then starts to worry, while Dipper doesn't know what to feel. Vito takes it as him asking his life story and how he got his powers. "I was born in Bayonne, New Jersey in October ninth, nineteen ninety-five, and raised in a shit hole shack of a house by two terrible parents and had a horrible childhood. They gave birth to my little brother Al, and my little sister Ariel who's no longer with us." Vito tells them about his family. "Where are you going with this?" Robbie asks. "I'm getting to that." Vito said, frustrated. "Then suddenly on my tenth birthday my godfather, Johnathan Romano, a catholic priest took me somewhere private and laid his filthy hands on me, reached down my pants and groped my ass. I kicked and punched him multiple times till I reached for my pocketknife and stabbed his neck. Mr Romano shouted at me, saying if I ever go after him and seek revenge for molesting me and trying to rape me, I'd end up killing my whole family instead. I got the hell out of there and told my parents and friends almost immediately, but when we got to where he brought me, he was gone without a single blood stain in the room. Johnathan Romano just vanished. In hindsight I am pretty sure he is a magic user of sorts. When I broke into his cathedral and home in Lafayette, New Jersey after turning into a werewolf for the first time the following night, he was no where to be found, but I found out he was behind the closet from the gay pride flags and enormous amount of pictures of little boys in his drawers and closet." He explained. "I should've known he is a perverted, wormy, little faggot. He's the reason why I'm so uncomfortable around feminine and homosexual men! They're so creepy, perverted and don't even have the decency to keep their hands to themselves!" Vito then confesses abruptly. Everyone was offended by his remarks and bigotry, to them it just came out of nowhere, where Wendy had feeling he was keeping his bigotry in. She still found his comment hateful, but she saw something like this coming from a mile away. Wendy remembered what he said about not being used to certain lifestyles and being raised under 'traditionalist' parents the day she sat down with him for the first time. "Ooooh I know what you guys are thinnking… you think I'm fucking crazy for claiming to be a killer werewolf. Do you, eh? Well guess what?" Vito then asks them. Vito then transforms into his first werewolf form, and they see his bright yellow eyes and fingernails that grew into claws in person, many of them for the very first time. "I A ONE!!" Vito screams while slurring his words at them his deeper, distorted, blood curling voice. They were screaming while Dipper and Wendy sat there and took a few steps back, stunned. "Holy shit! He actually is one!!!" Robbie screams in a high-pitched tone, with his voice cracking. "Please don't eat us!!" Lee begs him. Vito then transforms back into a human and then tells them "The hell is wrong with you? I ain't going to hurt you, you guys did nothing to me. In fact, I think I love you guys, I love you all so much… I just wanted to mess with you guys, that's all…" Vito then collapses with Wendy catching him before he hits the floor. Vito then passes out drunk. "Crap, Vito is heavy. I'll be right back. I am going to have a chat with him." Wendy tells the group as she drags him out of the circle and room, most of whom are shaking in fear. Tambry holds Robbie who's hiding his face from everyone else as he crying, and she is glaring at Vito and shakes her head. Wendy dragged him out of room and in the hallway. She gets out a special perfume Malik had given to her a few days ago to anyone up, knocking them out of their drunken state and sprays it on Vito's face. Wendy and her friends had moments where they had to too much to drink. Vito wakes up from his intoxicated state. "Wow, what happened?" Vito asks, shocked to find himself sober. "How did I get sober this quickly?" Vito asks Wendy. "I used a magic perfume I got from Malik to sober you up and you've went on a homophobic tirade after you told us about how you got your powers." Wendy tells him angrily. "The hell was the tirade was about? Was it about the creepy chomo that touched me and cursed me with lycanthropy?" Vito asks. "Yes! You can't spew garbage like that Vito!" Wendy tells him. "WENDY YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE SHIT I'VE SEEN GAY MEN DO IN PUBLIC AND WHAT THEY DO WITH CHILDREN!! I WAS ONE OF THEM!! YOU WEREN'T THERE THAT DAY!! YOU WEREN'T!! MY OWN PARENTS DIDN'T EVEN BELIEVE ME AT FIRST!! MY MOM REFUSED TO BELIEVE I WAS NEARLY RAPED BY THAT PIG FOR YEARS TILL SHE FOUND OUT THE TRUTH!!" Vito snapped, roaring. The walls were paper thin and their friends in the other room can hear all of it. "But he wasn't some hippie liberal or whatever, he was a catholic priest! You can't just assume terrible things about an entire group of people with a sexuality they were born with! Not all.." Wendy was trying to reason with him. "Not all gay men what Wendy? I lived through what they did to me, and it wasn't just Mister Romano too, IT WAS DEGENERATE FUCKING ASSHOLES WHO WOULD'T STOP TOUCHING ME OR RESPECT ANY BOUNDARIES WHATSOEVER IN MY OLD MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL TOO WHO CLAIMED TO KIDDING!!! And guess what that priest was into?" Vito then asks her. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Wendy questions him, disgusted with her arms crossed. Vito then starts to think straight again and realizes that he made things even worse. "I'm sorry, I really am. I can't keep going on and on about this, I'm not myself." Vito then excuses himself and leaves the building. "Jesus, poor guy. All of that really screwed him up." Dipper thinks to himself. Elton feels hurt, unsure what to do, while Nate, Lee, Tambry, and Robbie leave the room to find something else to do. "Dude." Dipper comments. "You said it." Elton replies.

Wendy heads back into the room where Elton and Dipper were still sitting down. "You sure everyone is going to be okay after that?" Elton asks her. Wendy lays down, face up on the shambly bed, stressed out. "I don't know man. I sort of figured Vito swallowed those feelings for everyone's sake, but I didn't think they were that deep." Wendy admits. "Wait you knew?" Elton asks, shocked. "Yeah I didn't see you hanging out with judgmental and high-strung people like that till now. I thought Vito was a cool guy." Dipper said. "Hey at least he omits to some extent what he was screaming was wrong. That's unlike most bigots I've met, most of them just call me a faggot to my face and beat me up just because I'm gay." Elton brings up. "Wait, you're queer too? I thought you were just a feminine guy." Wendy then states after asking. "Yep, I've always been into guys since I was in middle school. What about you guys?" Elton asks Wendy and Dipper. "I'm bisexual, but I'm looking to be with other women for right now. My ex-boyfriends have always turned out to be douchebags or just a bore." Wendy answers him. "I just like girls, but I'm not super into them or anything." Dipper said. "Huh, guess that makes you the token straight kid in the group." Wendy tells Dipper. "Wait, most of your friends in your group during the summer were all lgbt?" Dipper then asks, surprised. "Almost all of them, yeah. Lee is gay, and Nate, Tambry, Robbie, and me included go both ways. Thompson was the only guy who was heterosexual and didn't care if we were queer. All we needed is a lesbian and a trans person in the group, and we'd all be set." Wendy said to him. "So back to Vito, what now? Are you cutting him off?" Elton asks her. She sighs and answers "I don't know, it depends on what I feel. Like I get why he'd feel this way after hearing, but it still didn't justify his whole tantrum." Wendy told him. "I don't know if I'd cut off entirely, but I get it. You should take your time what to do next." Dipper said to Wendy. "I'll chat with you guys more later, I should catch up with Lee, Nate and the rest of the gang." Elton said to Wendy and Dipper as he stood up and left the room. He walks pass by Al and Mabel who've heard Vito's shouting and tirade from the outside. Al and Mabel then come into the room. "What the hell happened here? We've heard Vito's voice." Al asks them. "He sounded really angry, sooooooooooo angry!" Mabel exclaimed. "Vito was more than angry. Turns out he got his werewolf abilities because a Catholic priest and wizard who was his godfather cursed him after he tried to rape Vito." Dipper answers him. "What the hell? That's how he got his powers? Why didn't he tell me?" Al asks. "I thought he got them from encountered some cursed item." Al said, confused and feeling hurt. "What made him tell you guys that?" He then asks Dipper. "Robbie asked Vito his backstory during a game of truth and dare, and after he told us about how he got his powers, he went on a homophobic speech." He explained to Al and Mabel. "Vito is homophobic. WHAAAAAT? Why?" Mabel asks, shocked. "Surprised you didn't notice it till now. My brother, mom and especially my dad are gay bashers. For some reason, I don't see gay people, bi people, or those trannies as degenerate low lives." Al mentions. "It's trans people Al, not 'trannies.'" Mabel corrects Al. "Oh? My dad calls them trannies, transvestites, and plenty of other things. Especially when he's been drinking the 'expired apple cider' at Greasy's diner." Al said. "Al, I have a strange feeling that your brother isn't the judgmental douche you said he is. He had some amount of remorse for what he said judging by his tone." Dipper tells Al. "Oh?" Al wonders. "Yes, that Romano guy really screwed him up. I mean if I was violated by someone close to me, raised by bigots, and a bunch of jerks kept harassing me like they were into me, it might turn me into a homophobe." Dipper said. "Yeah, I get it, but it still doesn't justify what he screamed at the top of his lungs." Wendy reminded everyone. Mabel then begins to understand why and is thinking of a way to get Vito to change his views. "Dipper can you get us one of the coolers I have in my truck? There are drinks inside them." Wendy asks Dipper. "Will do Wendy." Dipper replied and then heads off to get one of the coolers in Wendy's truck.

While Wendy was talking with their friends, Vito left the Amber Mountain hotel. Feeling guilty about what he said and is sober, he pours the remaining alcohol out of his flask. "I've had too much to drink. I didn't mean to fuck things up this bad, but he had to push my limit." He tells himself. "I need to let off some steam." Vito said, as he looks at the people dancing to the music in the middle of what used to be Main Street of Amber Mountain. Vito hasn't danced in a very long time, and he sees Hazel taking a break from dancing in the crowd, underneath the balcony of the barbershop. She's wearing her usual, goth attire, a black and red stripped dress and with black heels, black lipstick and black fishnets. He goes over to talk to her, to tell her snippets of what happened minutes ago. "You have a light? I accidentally left mine at home." Vito asks Hazel. "Sure thing Vito. What's the trouble?" She then asks as she lights his cigarette with her lighter. Vito inhales and exhales his cig. "Got drunk and said stupid shit in front of friends, I had an argument about it with one of them and I don't know how to make it up to them." He tells her. "Oh, I've heard your screaming. Your voice carries for miles, I swear. But good to hear you're feeling sorry for saying all of that." She said in her raspy voice. "You've heard me too? Why am I not shocked?" Vito replied sarcastically, as he takes another puff. "So, what should I do to make it up to them other than saying 'sorry?'" He asks her for advice after he exhaled. "First of all, you need to change your behavior and try talking to gay men like that Elton guy, but not just him, but also regular people that happen to be gay men. They're not all a bunch of sissy, dirty, little boys you know." Hazel suggests to him. "Do you have a grudge against lesbians, bi people or trans people by any chance too?" Hazel then asks Vito, who turns his head toward her. When he turned his head toward her, Vito noticed something on Hazel's neck below her jaw, but then it just vanishes out of thin air, because Hazel used a magic hand motion to make it go away behind her back. "Ummmmm no. I don't. I never had a problem with bi women or lesbians, I don't think I need to explain why I don't. Never met a trans person in my life but I heard horrible things about them from mainly my dad and mom, as well with members of my family when they were around. And my experiences with gay and bi men who claim to be 'joking' and 'no homo,' well, you know what they were like." Vito answers while pretending that he didn't see what was on her neck a second ago. "Gotcha. That's abhorrent. I can understand why some women scissor each other instead of going with guys sometimes." Hazel understood Vito. "Probably." Vito comments. Vito then tries to think of something else to talk about to lighten the mood. "Ask thanks for helping me and my team beat Stefanie and her bootlicking, delusional, pathetic fa- maggot friends in the debate in our civics class yesterday. I didn't take you for a history expert." Vito admits after thanking her, smiling. "I know right? And it's okay, they are faggots, they're losers, they're immature assholes who hide behind masks to show how progressive and tolerant they claim to be. You should've seen the look on Stefanie Schwab's face after class after I told her that the founding fathers only made the two thirds rule for slaves at the time to prevent another conflict happening in America and how the founding fathers each had their own takes on slavery. She went on and on with her schizo ranting about how everything in America is white supremacist and Republican tea bagger or some biased crap like that. She was like 'bu… bu… but.'" Hazel brings up as she is about to laugh. "Not even her token black and Hispanic friends could back her up, what a loser. We backed them into a corner alright. I bet she was fingering her own ass with her own tears as lubricant in the school bathroom afterwards." Vito joked. "Stefanie definitely is, and we know she did." Hazel replied. "Say is it true that Wendy had something more to do with Stefanie than run a secret furry club or what not?" He then asks her. Hazel laughs. "What? No. That's not true. Who told you that?" Hazel asks while still laughing. "Wendy told me." Vito answers her. "That'd make sense, she had to hide the truth from people to protect the members, and her friends even before Stefanie put the lgbt club in the public eye in gravity falls, and outing all the members as being homosexual, bi, or trans or being friendly to lgbt people on those posters she put up everywhere. She helped run the group in spite of dealing with her all that time as Vice President until she left when she made it no longer a secret club." Hazel mentioned. "Wendy was a co leader of that weird little group with that bizarre acronym, WITH STEFANIE!?" Vito questions in utter disbelief. "AWWWWWWW MOTHER FUCKER OF JESUS CHRIST!!! WHY DID SHE WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THOSE CRYPTO COMMIE DORKS!?" Vito asks out loud, livid. "Bro bro, it didn't start out like that at first. Chill." Hazel tells him, "Okay, okay. You're right about that, it didn't start out that way at first, but then somewhere along the line Stefanie got radicalized by who knows and she began going out of her way to be some 'social justice warrior' despite all the tom fuckery she caused and causes, like turning the school announcements into lectures and constant propaganda that not even MSNBC would let slide, and worsening any kind of discourse with childish insults and lies." Vito brings up. "She told you the whole story but without the gay stuff? Right?" Hazel asks. "Yeah, yeah, I get it. I get why she lied to me." Vito pinches his nose and closes his eyes in frustration. "A lot of kids got kicked out of their homes because of Stefanie. Nothing worse came out of her stunt than that right?" He asks her. "Worse. From what I found out from one of the classmates who used to be in her club, a senior named Peter Mosin committed suicide through a drug overdose in his bedroom, while his parents were asleep, after Stefanie made the group public with all their names mentioned in those posters she put up. The school didn't even have a bench, statue, monument, moment of silence for Peter or anything, and from what I heard he was a bright student who was going to be in college football, but it was cut short thanks to her actions." Hazel tells Vito the tragic story. Vito puts his head against one of the wooden walls of the barbershop in frustration. He faces Hazel to ask her with two rhetorical questions, "Great, what else did she do?" "What isn't there to hate about Stefanie Schwab?" "I can see why Wendy wants to trash the high school with fireworks and glue a plunger on the principal's head, personally I'm tempted to do worse." Vito then commented. "Everyone hates the principal Kilroy. Now don't judge me, but the vice principal doesn't sound like a bad person." Hazel gives Vito her hot take. "I admit it was awfully soft of Regina to let me off the hook from brawling with those security guards." Vito admits. "Speaking of that brawl, I've never seen anyone kick that many people's asses with his bare hands in person. How did you learn how to fight like that?" She then asks Vito. "MMA, and I had years of training and got into trouble before." He said to her. "I bet." Hazel said. Vito then gets a second call from a Marcus; he takes the call this time. Vito had his ringer off. "What is it?" Vito asks through his Bluetooth headset. "Dude, do we have a rule about going into the mines?" Marcus asks. "Because I see Robbie, Nate, Lee and Elton by the mine entrance. He dared them into going inside for twenty minutes without flashlights and come back out for fifty dollars. They just went in, passing through wires it looks like." Marcus then tells him. "Son of a bitch." Vito cursed. "I got to take care of something. People are doing something stupid." Vito tells Hazel before he leaves her.

While Dipper drags one of the coolers he got from Wendy's pickup truck, as he passes by Vito and asks, "Hey V, how is it?" Vito didn't hear him and walks away from him. "Man, he must still be upset from the argument he had with Wendy." He said to himself, while he continues to drag the cooler to their room in the hotel from one of the plastic handles. "Christ, how much does this thing weigh?" "A hundred pounds?" He asks himself. "Oh my god! I can't stay in that church anymore! I swear, there's something in there! I saw a bunch of bloody and smelly dead bodies in there!" One of the party guests told her friend who left the church's front door with her. "I know! I saw them too and I heard voices, we got to get the hell out of here!!" He told his friend, and they sprint out of the party together. Dipper saw this got curious. "A haunted church huh?" He asks himself. Dipper puts the cooler beside the stairs of the spooky, abandoned, Methodist church. "I should gather proof, so they'll believe me." Dipper said to himself, as he opens the door, turns on his regular flashlight, and starts video recording with his smart phone. He sees and records green, steaming slime coming out of the walls, and he hears voices telling him and the other people partying in Amber Mountain to leave. The voices get louder and louder as he walks through the nave, following the voices until he sees a bloody, rotting corpse of a man, stripped naked of his clothing and crucified against the giant Christian cross on the altar, towering above the sanctuary, benches, and the rest of the room. Dipper screams at the sight. The corpse's eyes were sewn open, his fingernails were removed, his teeth rancid and yellow, parts of his skin were removed, his face was mutilated, and all of his tendons were removed. Shockingly, the corpse was still bleeding, as drops of blood were still falling down onto the floor of the sanctuary. "What the hell happened to that guy? What did he do to deserve this?" He asks himself, aghast by the sight. When he walks to the altar to try to get the corpse off of the cross, he heard a noise as he steps on the crossing. Dipper takes a step back and taps one of his feet against the crossing's floor. "A false door?" He asks himself. "I gotta let the others know, I can't do this alone. This is a whole new level of disturbing." Dipper tells himself.

Dipper brings the cooler to Wendy, Al, and Mabel. "Guys, you won't believe what I saw a minute ago. I saw a mutilated dead body that's crucified." Dipper tells them. "Say what? We didn't see it when we checked the place out." Wendy told him. "You want us to go check it out with you? If it's going to take more than a day, I'm not interested." Al then tells Dipper. "It's at the church. There was green slime coming out of the walls and I heard voices that said we should leave." Dipper then tells him. Al boos in response with two thumbs down. "But brother we just got this party started. We can't just end it." Mabel tells him. "This party should never end. I haven't had this much fun in a while. I give the Amber Mountain Party a nine point five out of ten experience. The only thing that could be better than this is a spring break party in Coney Island beach where there's smoking hot babes at every corner, taking their tops off and free booze and junk food at every corner." Al said. Mabel elbows his shoulder in response, offended by his comment. "See?" Dipper said to them while he shows them the video recording of what he saw in the haunted church. "Woah." Wendy said in response, shocked by seeing the crucified body. "Holy stegosaurus foreskin! A dead homeless man! And Nickelodeon slime!" Al said, stunned by the footage. "But there weren't any voices I've heard. Sounds like only you heard them." Mabel told him. "Should we call Soos and Vito to come with us?" Al asks Dipper. "Good call, but I think Vito is busy running security at the party, and I'm not ready to talk to him yet. Just invite Soos." Wendy tells him, as she gets a can of beer from the cooler. "Whatever this is it could be two things, either that church is really haunted with the slime along with that dead body, or this is some really sick prank." Al gives them his take. "Yeah, the slime is probably part of a prank. But good lord who would do such a thing to a squatter?" Mabel wonders after agreeing with his second theory. "Dude this place IS HAUNTED." Dipper reiterated. "Mind if I have just one?" Al then asks Wendy. "Sure, you can only have one and don't tell anyone ever." Wendy tells him. Al gets a can of beer, sits next to Wendy on the bed and takes a sip of it, only for him to spit it right back out in disgust. "Bleh, it tastes like cough medicine mixed with cat piss." Al complains. "It's like that most people when they try it for the first time." Wendy said after laughing, playfully elbowing Al's shoulder. As Al felt Wendy's shoulder he asked, "Hey what was that for…?" Al then realizes that Wendy didn't mean it in a malicious nature, and he then asks her "One more time." Wendy didn't know what to say or do other than softly elbow his shoulder. He then smiles. "Soos you there?" Dipper asks. "Yes dude, what's up?" Soos asks over the phone. "Listen, remember when we scoped Amber Mountain to see if it's safe? Turns out the church is haunted. I saw a dead homeless man crucified onto a cross, and slime coming out of the walls. We need your help." Dipper tells Soos. "Don't worry Dipper, I'm on my way." Soos said to him. "Melody, you handle the customers, I gotta go help Dipper!" he tells his girlfriend and mystery shack assistant. "Soos the place is closed after five pm on weekends." Melody reminds him. Dipper heard all of it before Melody hangs up the tourist trap's landline phone, Soos forgot to hang up since he's in a hurry. Dipper puts his phone away. "Okay, Soos is coming. That's good at least." Dipper looks on the bright side. "Where's Ford and Stan when you need them?" Dipper asks himself, as he and the others wait for him.

Vito uses his night vision to navigate through the caves, has lit up chem lights so he wouldn't get lost, and he is tracking their scent. Lee, Nate, and Elton smelled like Doritos, Takis, and cannabis joints. It wasn't that hard for him to follow them. "Guys, you're not to be in there. You're asking to get tetanus from being in these mines. You need to come back before you get lost." Vito warns them. His voice echoes towards the three. "Come on that's gay, and that's coming from a guy who has sex with other guys." Elton's replied, also echoing through the mines. "Nice one bro." Nate tells Elton as they walk through the mines to find themselves in one of the Amber ore deposits, with their flashlights on. "The hell? You're gay? I didn't even know you were a homo!" Vito yelled. He didn't believe that Elton was gay, to Vito, Elton is a nice guy. "You think there's creatures that live in here like in 'The Descent?'" Lee asks Elton and Nate. "Stop it, Lee." Nate laughs and replies to him. Elton heard Vito's echo bouncing off from one of the tunnels. "The more you know!" Elton tells him. Then out of nowhere, a blood curling, inhumane scream echoed throughout the mine, they all heard it. "Ok, was that you again Lee?" Nate asks, a bit startled. "That wasn't me Nate." Lee tells his best friend. The inhumane scream grew louder as a pale, eyeless, humanoid creature with bat-like nostrils, sharp claws and opposable thumbs on its hands and feet, sharp teeth and goblin-like ears comes closer to them. Nate points his flashlight at it and shouts in fright, and the creatures jumps on top of him and pins him to the ground. Before it got to pierce his neck with its fangs, Vito shot the creature in the head with his Maxim 9, his Maria. The hollow point, silver bullet pierced though its skull and its brains go out through its skull. "You know I forgot to mention this to you all as well, you could get yourselves killed in here. Turns out there's these goblin crawlers that reside in these caves and mines." Vito said to them. "Goblin crawlers?" Elton asks. A bunch of zombies then catch Vito, Lee, Nate and Elton by surprise when five of the zombies come out of hiding behind the cave columns. They grab a hold of Lee and Nate, one of them tries to grab of Elton, but Vito transforms into his first werewolf form and protects him by using himself a body shield, slashing the zombies and crawlers with his Bowie knife in his left hand, and shooting them with the other. "Whats happening man!?" Lee asks out loud in fright, as the zombies drag him to a tight tunnel. One of them bites Lee, turning him into a zombie. Nate screams before turning into a zombie too through a bite, he is also dragged into a tight tunnel neither Vito nor Elton could fit through. The zombies and goblin crawlers retreat because Vito was too much to handle. "V, you saved my life, even though you see me as a degenerate." Elton tells Vito as he turns back into a human. Elton then notices a bite mark on one of Vito's arms and is alarmed. "Oh my god, you're bit. How did you not turn into a zombie? We should cut it off just in case!" Elton shouts. "ELTON RELAX!!! Their bites don't work on the undead or anyone or anything that's demonic in nature." Vito tells him, urging him to calm down. "Look, we need to get out of here before we get killed, NOW." Vito implores him. "But what about Lee and Nate? They're my friends!" Elton asks. "They're dead Elton, there's nothing we can do that I know of. The only cure for zombies that I'm aware of is a bullet to the brain." Vito said to him. "Come on man! There's got to be something else we can do! I know you are part of that thunderbird squad or whatever." Elton then informs him. This dumbfounded Vito that Elton figured out his secret double life as paranormal investigator for the federal government. "What the f… how did you know that? Who told you!?" Vito asked him while screaming at him. "Nobody. I overheard you and Wendy talking about your job one time during school." Elton tells him. "For fuck's sake." Vito moaned, facepalming while turning away, angry and frustrated. "Okay, well this brings my piss to a boil." Vito adds. "You didn't tell anyone else, did you?" Vito asks Elton in anger. "NO. NOT AT ALL. I didn't tell a soul. The only one who thinks you're a spook is my crazy conspiracy theorist dad who has his own podcast. I think you might have heard of him." Elton tells him the truth. "Don't know who you're talking about. Wait, isn't it that guy who claimed there were crisis actors in our school during that day and has said a bunch of other crazy nonsense about reptilian elites having Mongolian sex slaves on colonies on Venus, Mars and the moon?" Vito asks. "Yeah, Hunter J Mercury, he also sells his own medicine and other pharmaceutical goods that aren't FDA approved." Elton confirms it. "I've heard of the man. He hasn't talked about me before. All I hear about him is your dad making statements against the government and elites. Not about the supernatural." Vito stated. "So where did those things drag Lee and Nate? I know a guy who has more knowledge about this stuff than me, he probably knows how to cure them." Vito said. "Good. I think they went through those tunnels." Vito and Elton try to crawl through the tunnels only to barely fit through. "Crap, I can't fit through." Elton said to Vito. "Me neither, but I know another path to find them. Me and my squad have been through these tunnels yesterday. I suggest you let me find them, and that you get the hell out of here." Vito replied. Elton follows Vito anyway from a distance.

While Elton follows Vito from a distance, Soos arrives to help Dipper and the gang. They entered the haunted church where he saw the crucified corpse, towering over everything else inside the building. "Holy shit. It's even nastier seeing it in person. Who do you think would do something this gruesome and cruel? In our own county?" Wendy asks Dipper, shocked in awe at the brutality. "I don't know." He answers, also looking at the corpse, he is trying to analyze what happened with the black light he brought with him, there were no fingerprints on the dead body. "This doesn't make any sense. He could've have just crucified himself like this. Could it have been done by ghosts that are said to reside here?" He asks himself. While he examines the corpse from a makeshift ladder like a forensic scientist, Soos, Al and Mabel look at the green slime that came out of the walls him and Wendy look around for clues. "Hey, look guys, Nickelodeon slime." Soos said to the two kids, while pointing at it. "See, I told you it looks like Nickelodeon slime. I dare you to touch it." Al tells Mabel. "Let me grab a stick first." Mabel said to him, while grabbing a nearby stick that is a foot long. She jabs the stick into the slime and within two seconds the tip of it bursts into flames. She, Soos and Al freak out, and she throws the stick onto the ground and Soos puts it out with his shoes. "Phew, I didn't think it'd cause things to be lit on fire." Al said, shook. "Seriously?" Dipper asks, disappointed in Al's lack of intelligence. "Its steaming hot dude." Dipper tells him. "I mean, now we know that steaming, hot slime in a haunted church can set stuff on fire." Al said. "Wait. If this slime can set things on fire how about this whole church is not ablaze with flames?" Soos asks. Al and Mabel both shrug their shoulders confused. Dipper doesn't answer because he doesn't know himself, more supernatural stuff that can't be explained for him. Wendy then walks behind the alter to hear something odd with the floorboard. "Dipper, can I borrow your black light?" She asks him. Dipper then tosses her his black light, and she turns it on to discover that she's standing on a hidden floor door from peeking through its cracks and holes. Wendy takes a few steps back and lifts up the door to find a hidden basement. "Guys check this out, this basement has a ton of cool, old stuff." Wendy tells them as she uses her regular flashlight and gives Dipper back his black light, Soos and the others hover around the hidden basement and look down. The basement is a hide out for Dave Jones' labor rebellion, Amber Sky. It was a stockpile full of ammo for semi auto pistols, bolt action and automatic rifles, shotguns, and two Maxim machine guns, and it had crates of grenades and fire bottles. "That's so strange. How come we didn't see this while we were here two days ago? Did Vito and his group discover this while they were searching through Amber Mountain?" Dipper asks. "I don't know. He didn't tell me. The guy is our school's mystery man." Wendy answers him. "He goes out of his way to be nice to you, a teenage werewolf and is seen as mysterious? I like the sound of Vito so far." Mabel admits. "What is that you're trying to say Mabel?" Al asks her. The lanterns in the the basement light up out of nowhere. "You see I told you!" Dipper tells them. "Okay, okay, we get it. It's haunted. Let's see if it leads to a path." Al said, and then jumps down and does a break fall. They turn off their flashlights and Wendy then follows suit without a problem. Soos, Dipper and Mabel carefully go down into the bunker. The basement had crimson mask insignia and flags on the plank walls that barely held the place together, along with the wooden support beams and rafters. Wendy whistled, stunned by the amount of firepower they had. "These guys were ready for World War three." Wendy said. Al tries out of the gas masks, puts it on his face and tries to lift one of the automatic rifles. "Shit this is heavy." Al said to himself. Soos saw this and immediately takes it away from it. "Dude be careful, you could've shot someone's eye out". He warned him. "Don't worry man, I knew what I was doing, I have gun apps on my phone, and I play Call of Battle and other military shooters." Al assured him. "Al this isn't a freaking game. If anything happens or we encounter monsters or whatever, take this." Dipper stressed with him, and hands Al a knife he found among the weapons cache. "It's a bit rusty. I already have a knife, it's in one of my pockets." Al noted. "Yeah, I saw you show it off to the other classmates one time, so you'd look cool. Better that you don't have a gun." Dipper said to him. "Dip, I saw this kid throw a rock right into Butch's eye when we were both in the woods together. A bullseye. We handled those sick bastards just fine. I think he can handle a firearm, just not a BAR. Have Al get a pistol." Wendy said to him. "Okay, if you say so Wendy." Dipper said, feeling hesitant about trusting Al with a firearm of any kind. "By the way what happened with that talking Bigfoot? Did you guys ever see him again?" He asks Wendy. "I don't get it. Why doesn't he trust me?" Al asks Mabel. "No offense Al, but you aren't the responsible type." Mabel tells him. "Pfffttt. What are you talking about?" Al scoffs. "You brought in a Swiss Army knife and a zippo lighter with you to school for days. Me and Dipper had to cover for you so you wouldn't get expelled when one of the teachers came by." Mabel reminds him. "Mabel when I was in the big apple, at my old school, kids brought in all kinds of stuff they weren't allowed to bring in, and I'm not talking about gameboys, cell phones, and toys." Al tells her. "What the hell? What kind of school did you go to?" Mabel asks him, confused. "It was an elementary school in the ghetto so yeah. Kids brought in and did all kind of crazy stuff while in class and in the hallways, even outside. Like this one time one of the six graders while he was on the bus, pulled his woody out and stuck it out one of the windows for his girlfriend to see and as it left, his pee pee got hit by a stop sign on the way out of the school." Al tells her a story. Mabel laughs and says "Wow." "Dude, what's your name? Apple?" Soos asks him, chiming in. "Huh? It's just Al." He tells him. "Al that's a wild story, but that's nothing compared to what was going in my cousin Reggie's old school. Like this one time one of his friends went into the bathroom and he opened one of the bathroom stalls and he saw two…" before he could finish his story to Al, Dipper tells them something he and Wendy just discovered. "Guys, we found a hidden tunnel, and the torches just lit up out of the blue. And there's a blood trail." They take a look at the blood trail and follow it after Dipper gave Al a semi auto pistol with some magazines, leading into the mines. "Dipper, I think you might be on to something about Vito. You're probably right. His whole mantra about gay men sorta doesn't come from hate or malice as it does come from pain and trauma. It did make think of what I said about guys being selfish when I was upset at you, Stan and Robbie, I was not myself when that happened." Wendy admits. "I'm glad you see that way. Vito is a good person. I can't imagine how easy things could have been if he was here during the summer." said Dipper. "Oh man, that would've been awesome." Wendy stated.

Meanwhile, Vito had slashed and shot his way through the mines and is covered in blood and sweat, with Elton behind him and barely tolerating the stench of dead zombies and goblin crawlers. "Thunderbirds, we have a problem, some idiots breached through one the barriers and traps we set up for the ghosts, they got bit by zombies and quickly transformed. We need send a rescue team and see if we can cure them of being undead." Vito records his voice message to the PAD cell group chat. He then sends it. Vito tried communicating with Marcus that something is going on, and that he and the other bouncers need to evacuate the guests before cops show up, but the signal couldn't go through. "Fuck shit, shit fuck." Vito curses under his breath. He then hears voices. "Help us leave, kill Dave." They were the same voices he heard when he was first here days ago. "How the heck will that help them leave?" He asks himself. "He's using our souls as puppets." One of the voices informs him. "For what?" Vito asks one of the spirits. "Come and see." One of them tells him. The torches in his path light up a path for him to follow. Vito turns around and sees Elton following him. "What the fuck did I tell you?" Vito asks Elton. "Dude they're my friends, they're OUR FRIENDS!! I can't just let them be zombies forever!!" Elton answers him. "I'm coming along to help you whether you like it or not." He added. "Jesus Christ, FINE, you can come along. I HOPE YOU DON'T TURN INTO WORM FOOD." Vito gives in. Elton follows him till Vito discovers a large gathering of zombies, two dozen possessed goblin crawlers hanging onto the columns, stalagmites and stalactites, and ten zombified velociraptors in a massive amber deposit in the mine. The deposit is so giant that it felt like a big theatre, and Vito and Elton were seeing the whole thing from above. They were all looking at a zombie with glowing, blue, flaming eyes in torn overalls and cotton shirt, it's wearing two bandoliers, dual pistols in its holsters, and an old mining helmet. It was sitting on top of a makeshift throne, behind an amber sky flag nailed one of the cave walls and a subterranean waterfall, with zombified Lee and Nate standing beside the throne. Vito and Elton hide behind a boulder for cover. "You think Wendy will forgive me for that moment I had earlier?" Vito asks Elton. "Just ask her yourself after today dude. Wendy is still upset by what your rhetoric." Elton tells him. Vito glances at the rally of zombies, goblin crawlers, and zombified dinosaurs, including the zombie with flaming blues. "Looks like a level ten ghost we're dealing with. This again?" Vito then asks himself, a little bit bugged out. "You dealt with ghosts before?" Elton asks, a bit surprised. "Yeah, I did. One took control of my fucking car as I bought it and turned on the ignition, NEARLY TOTALING IT. But, on the bright side, we got it exorcised, and someone gave my ride a lot of upgrades." Vito said. "Also on the bright side, I finally get to kill zombies in real life." Vito tells Elton as he takes the rocks off of a hidden weapons crate. "Cool beans." He opens it and he picks up a high capacity, automatic drum feed shotgun with box magazines, and cluster hand grenades. Vito takes the Saiga-12's magazines and puts them in his jacket's pockets, and the cluster grenades in one of his utility belt's pouches. Vito then sits down behind the rock, taking cover with Elton who watched him loading with the shotgun with its drum magazine, and putting the other box magazines in his belt, as if Vito was a marine to him.

As that goes on, Wendy, Dipper, Mabel, Soos and Al went through one of the passageways, avoiding zombies and other creatures in this maze of a mine in Amber Mountain. They hide behind one of the massive stalagmites, where they could also see the whole thing from above. "Oh my god, I saw Nate and Lee as zombies. They're standing beside that throne." Wendy told them. "Is that miner zombie possessed? This guy has flaming eyes." Mabel notes to the gang. "This looks like a temple of doom." Soos said. "You said it man. All there's missing is a creepy statue and someone getting his heart ripped out." Al said. "More like an undead triumph of will." Dipper replied. "Is that guy on the throne Davey Jones?" Mabel asks them. "His name is Dave Jones Mabel. I don't know if it's him. He looks unrecognizable. Believe it or not, Dave is related to my mom's side of the family." Wendy brought up. "Oh, that's cool. You don't say much about your mother." Dipper said to Wendy. "Yeah, I don't say a lot about her. You see… the thing is that…" before Wendy could explain, the zombie with flaming blue eyes stands up and begins his speech to the other zombies and goblin crawlers. "Attention fellow workers, I'm going to keep this speech short and to the point because I'm seeing so much red. Our graves have been disturbed for the last time like it never has been before. There's a bunch of teenagers partying in Amber Mountain and trashing our prison, our graves what was called a 'company town' under those tyrants the Schwab corporation. They're pouring salt onto our wounds. And according to the last people we've killed back in 1984, the Schwabs are still ALIVE AND RICH. I, Dave Jones, leader of the Amber Sky union, will finally have our revenge and the Schwab family will all die!!!" The spirit of Dave Jones declares in his zombified body. "Sweet." Wendy said under her breath. "Did you say something?" Dipper asks. "Nothing Dip." She replied. "Fucking finally, Stefanie Schwab needs to die." Vito said openly. "Who's Stefanie?" Elton asks. "Bro, why does he want her dead?" Elton thinks to himself. "A cunt, that's who Stefanie is." Vito answers Elton. "But first we must deal with those degenerate teenagers trashing our resting place and add them to our undead army!!" Dave Jones said to his followers. "Son of a bitch." Vito bleated. "Aw crap." Wendy protests. "I knew there was a catch." Dipper said. "Really wish there wasn't." Wendy thinks to herself. "Yeah, I heard what you said to yourself Wendy, what did the Schwab family ever do to you? I've heard nothing but nice things about them in town." Mabel then brings up to Wendy. "Girl that family is anything but nice. They're a family of rich politicians; they're naturally fake people." Wendy tells her. "Wendy is right about them; they say nice things but always come across as super fake and disingenuous." Dipper agrees with Wendy, and he didn't say it to impress her. "But to change the subject, how are we going to stop them?" Dipper then asks. "Don't sweat it dudes, I've always been prepared this moment. It only I had a shovel for the zombies." Soos tries to take the edge off of them. "Soos you got turned into a zombie last time. We had to cure you through a potion involving cinnamon and formaldehyde." Dipper mentions. "I was caught off guard dude." Soos defends himself. "Oh no. How the hell are we going to stop them?" Elton then asks Vito. "Me and my squad-mates set up traps for both physical and spiritual threats, didn't we?" Vito asks him a rhetorical question. "And it is simple, like this." Vito tells him as he takes the pin off of one of the cluster grenades and chucks them down at the zombies listening to Dave's speech. He throws another one at them. Wendy peeks out of the stalagmite she was hiding behind and sees Vito throwing a grenade at the zombies from above. Alarmed by what was going to happen, she immediately shouts at her group "GUYS WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE PRONTO!!" As they were starting to follow her, sprinting back up where they came from, one of the grenades blows up and within two seconds, sets off a series of smaller explosions, blowing dozens the zombies up with limbs and blood flying all over the place. "That was friggin beautiful V!!" Wendy shouts at the top of her lungs as she was running back the church's secret tunnel. "Holy shit did you see that!?" Elton asks Vito as he takes cover behind the boulder. Another grenade explodes and the vibration of the other explosions the miniature bombs spreads causes some of the stalactites to break off and fall onto the zombies and onto the cave floor all around the Amber depository. "No, I didn't. Come on we need to get the hell out of here now before the whole depository collapses on top of us. Let's go!" Vito commands Elton. "Follow the glow sticks and stick with me!" Vito again commands him, who is sprinting behind him up the tunnels. Unknown to them thanks to their ears ringing, the goblin crawlers hears both Wendy's and Vito's shouts and they shriek loud click sounds. "After them!! Go after them now!!" Dave tells his undead followers and pet goblin crawlers. They chase after them. The zombies get carried by some of the crawlers while some of the zombies boost each other up to the two cave cliffs where they were, while the rest go up to the tunnels.

While Vito lets Elton get ahead of him as he holds the undead zombies and velociraptors, and goblin crawlers off with the remaining cluster grenades and the Sagia 12 that he found out what incendiary rounds; Wendy, Dipper, Al, Mabel and Soos were running as fast as they could following the lit torches that lead them down, and the undead and crawlers were slowly catching up to them. Dipper was losing stamina and was struggling to catch up to then, Soos looks behind him and sees that. So Soos falls behind and tells Dipper, "HOP ON MY BACK DUDE!!" Dipper then hops onto Soos' sweaty back. Soos regains his speed but he also running out of stamina. As the rest get to the church's basement door out of the cave tunnel, Mabel looks behind and sees that Soos was giving Dipper a piggyback ride and he was running out of breath. She then pulls out her grappling hook gun. "GUYS GRAB ONTO MY GRAPPLING THINGY!!" Mabel tells them as she shoots her grappling hook, Soos grabs onto the hook and she presses a button that pulls the hook back toward the user, Dipper held onto Soos's chubby skin on his back as hard as he could. Wendy holds the door open for Mabel after Al gets inside, and Mabel successfully pulls them out of a zombie's reach, and it pulls them so hard that Soos' body smooshes Mabel's body backwards and onto the basement's floor. Dipper gets off of Soos' back as Wendy shuts the door. "Al, get that table and barricade the door!" Wendy tells him as she keeps the door closed with her own body after locking it. "Yes ma'am!" Al replied as he dragged one of the empty tables to the door. Soos then gets off of Mabel. "Thanks for saving us Mabel!" Dipper thanks her. "That's what siblings are for." Mabel tells him. "How long before they break down the door?" Al asks them. "Dunno, all I know is that we need to get out of here, and then shut the door to the basement, but not without taking some firepower with us. These old guns should do." Wendy said to her friends. "Grab one of the guns, even if you don't know how to use it, now is the time to use it." Wendy said to them, as she grabbed a trench shotgun and put some shells for it in one of the pockets for her flannel shirt. Al already had a handgun, Dipper also gets semi-automatic pistol, Soos gets a BAR, Wendy gets another gun but this time a bolt action rifle with a sling and puts on a harness with pouches full of ammo and some grenades, to her a hatchet wasn't enough, and Mabel gets a Lewis machine gun. "I'm going to be death incarnate!" As she barely held it up with her arms. Wendy gets a ladder and begins to lead them out of the basement. They climb up to the church floor and the party has ended. "What happened?" Soos asks. Wendy calls Marcus on her phone. "Marcus you there? Where is everyone?" She asks him. "We thought there was another shooting since we heard gunshots, so we fled. Either that or it was hunters. I made the call for us all to leave in a hurry. I didn't want to take those chances again." Marcus tells her. "You think dad won't find about this?" He then asks her. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. You did the right thing. I just got some things to take care of before me and my other friends leave." Wendy tells her brother. "Weird, supernatural stuff happening again?" Marcus asks. "Yep." She answers. "You guys ready to get scared for life again?" He then asks her. "Bring it on." Wendy said. "Go get em." Marcus said to her, before ending the call. "They all left in a hurry. They heard those gunshots, probably Vito blasting zombies and monsters." Wendy tells them. "What do we do now?" Dipper asks her. "It'll be a matter of time before they break through the barricades and get to the surface. Those zombies can run. We need to take the high ground, outside of the church, Amber Mountain's town hall is the tallest building here, it's three-story building, we get onto its flat rooftop and take positions and build some barricades." Wendy answers him. "What about your friends Nate and Lee?" Al asks her. "We can cure them through a potion I've written down in my journal and on my phone in case something like this happens again. Trust me it will work. My Grunkle told me this one." Dipper accidentally reveals. He then gets anxious, fearing Al would press him further. "Smart move little man." Wendy then fist bumps Dipper. "What's the best way to beat these meat munchers other than the old-fashioned way?" Al then asks Dipper. "Singing a perfect three-part harmony song is the best way to beat them. What we need is some speakers, a microphone and a karaoke machine." Mabel replied. "Really? I thought it'd be a special time of bomb or chemical or something. Who knew it'd be something so mundane like karaoke?" Al states. "You'll learn to love it one day." Mabel said.

About five minutes later, Vito and Elton escape from the Amber Mountain mine through the entrance while blasting and bypassing through the traps the Thunderbird squad set up yesterday. It felt like an obstacle course they'd have to pass or die. Vito throws the last of the cluster grenades at the entrance they came out of, and it causes that entrance to collapse. Elton is there standing beside Vito, barely catching his breath with his hands on his knees. "I can't believe it, we've made it. We freaking made it out of alive." Elton is relived. "That was just crossing the street lil bro. Me and my group set up C4 charges at the two other cave entrances to the surface in case zombies or ghosts try to make their way to the surface. All I need is the detonator." Vito searches through his pockets to find one. He gets more and more frustrated that he couldn't find the device, and then gives up. "Awwwww mother…" Vito grumbles before getting jumped by a crawler. Vito keeps it away from his neck with the automatic shotgun, he slowly transforms into his first form as it tries to reach for his face multiple times before getting shot in the head by Wendy. Vito then gets the crawler off of him. "Vito over here! We're on top of the town hall! This is my voice! We can sing a perfect three-part harmony as we shoot zombies and these monsters!! I'm with my brother, Wendy, Soos and Al! This is my voice! You can hear me through the mic!" Mabel screams into the microphone from the top of Amber Mountain's town hall. Vito's ears were starting to ring again as Dipper gets her off the mic. The building is covered in graffiti, litter such as beer bottles, bits of wet paper from magazines and newspapers, cigarette butts, dirty needles, and of course teepee toilet paper. They got the equipment for the three-part harmony set up on the roof. "Dipper! Wendy! You guys are safe! Thank God! Al, we're going to talk about this when we get home!" Vito then scolds his little brother for attending the party without his permission. "Oh nice! I was waiting to use my guitar and rock out, with an audience or no audience! I'll get it from Wendy's truck." Elton tells them with cheerful enthusiasm. Mabel takes a look at the Lewis machine gun she dragged up to the roof and whispers "Soon my girl, soon we'll raise hell." She then realizes she won't be able to use it.

In about five minutes of barricading doors in the town hall and shooting zombies and monsters later, everyone gets into positions, Elton gets out his electric guitar as the lead singer with Dipper and Mabel going to provide their voices for the song, B.Y.O.B. by System of a Down on the karaoke machine, while Vito, Wendy, Soos and Al take cover behind the roof top's guard rails. "Is everyone ready?" Wendy asks them. "Ready." Vito tells her while dual wielding the automatic shotgun and machine gun. "Ready to fuck shit up." Al tells her while checking how many rounds he has left in the pistol. "You bet I'm ready dudes, for real this time." Soos said. Everyone else nods their heads, with Elton's fingers on his guitar pick, and he and the twins about to sing. Mabel turns up the volume on the speakers, turns on the karaoke machine, and the song begins to play. "Remember, DO NOT SHOOT AT NATE AND LEE, I SAY AGAIN, DO NOT SHOOT AT NATE AND LEE. Dipper has a cure for them!" Wendy reminds Al, Vito, and Soos. "Roger." Vito and Al replied. "Okie dokie." Soos responded. "You sure you know how to use that Soos?" Vito then asks him before Elton, Mabel and Dipper start to sing. "Trust me I know how to use this machine gun, I have friends that play COD and Call of Battle." He tells Vito. "Ugh." Vito said quietly. "Didn't you end up trashing up a street full of cars and stuff the last time you held two guns at once?" Wendy asks. "And? I'd always wanted to wreck a ghost town and mow down zombies and dinosaurs." Vito answers her as a goblin crawler tries to leap into the roof and gets shot by him. "I'm with you about that." Wendy replies with a smile. "Alright, that should be the last of the goblin crawlers." Vito said to them. Elton then starts off the song by playing a killer electric guitar riff, and seconds later he started to sing. As he starts singing the song on blast, Vito, Wendy, Al and Soos start shooting at the zombies and undead velociraptors belo, Wendy chucking some grenades at them, Vito tears them up with both guns in his hands like he was an action hero, while Soos' aim was all over the place trashing the ghost town and causing one of the buildings to collapse, the recoil was too strong for him. Before Dipper joins in the three-part harmony segment of the song, he says feeling relived "Feels nice I don't have to sing about wearing a dress this time." A lot of the zombies' heads explode to rotten, fleshy chunks when Dipper, Mabel and Elton sing together, but almost two hundred more zombies take their place coming out of the church's basement and other entrances to the mine. "They just keep coming dudes. How many more of them are there? Do they have a spawn point somewhere in Amber Mountain or something?" Soos asks. "Forget about it, just keep shooting!" Vito orders Soos. They keep shooting as Dipper, Mabel and Elton sang the Nu Metal song. It felt like a never-ending round of a survival mode for them. "Where the hell is Lee and Nate?" Al asks Wendy. "I don't know, I haven't seen them anywhere here." Wendy tells him as she kept taking shots at the zombies and monsters. "They must still be in those caves." Vito guessed as he was mowing down a group of over fifteen zombies after reloading the Lewis gun, he ran out of ammo for the automatic shotgun. The dragon's breath rounds are setting half of Amber Mountain ablaze, not just the zombies' rotting corpses. "Oh my god the ghost town is on fire! What if the fire gets to us and the town hall!?" Dipper freaks out before he starts singing with Mabel and Elton again, seeing that the general store and saloon are now on fire. Their singing causes more zombie heads to blow up. "Dammit I didn't think this it'd cause a mini forest fire." Vito admits, starting to worry. "Just keep shooting!!!" Wendy tells him, as she saves Soos from getting bit by a zombie by shooting it's head off with the Springfield rifle, the zombies are now crawling to the top of the roof through by giving each other boosts to avoid the fire. "Soos, you gotta watch out! Don't forget to check behind you!" Wendy warns him. Soos looks behind him to find a bunch of zombies just one foot away from him and mows them down with the BAR like he was Rambo, but then runs out of ammo and is barely able to reload it without Wendy's help, so he swings around like a bat instead. He bashed one in the head and causes the walker to fall into the fire. "Hey this actually works better for me when I use it as a bat." Soos admits. While Elton, Mabel, and Dipper kept singing the song to make zombie's heads explode, and as Wendy, Al, Vito and Soos were keeping the zombies away from them, the fires kept creeping up towards the town hall, surrounding the building like a ring of fire, everyone was scared they'd get turned into a crisp until a great force of wind puts the fires out, causing a cloud of smoke to fog their vision. The karaoke music stops, and Elton and the twins stop singing in awe by what they're seeing. "What's happening now?" Vito asks. "Did we get them all?" Dipper asks. "I think there's one last thing we have to take care of left, prepare for a boss fight." Al tells them. The walker with blue eyes they all saw on the throne in the caves climbs onto the roof and runs towards Elton and the kids with a loud, blood curling scream. "Class traitor scum!!" The possessed corpse cries out. Elton, Dipper and Mabel freak out as it sprints toward them. "Get out of the way!" Vito and Wendy tell the pines twins and Elton. They get out of the way while Vito and Wendy blast the sprinting zombie with shotgun shells and machine gun fire, tearing its head and its torso to pieces. The transparent, teal-colored spirit of Dave Jones comes out of torn apart carcass. Dave Jones' spirit is a grown man with a long handlebar mustache wearing a headlamp helmet, overalls and a cotton shirt, and is carrying a pickaxe. His ghostly form towered over them, as it was fifty feet tall. It approaches towards them. "Why have you all not died yet or turned into undead soldiers?" Dave Jones asks them. "We came prepared that's how. We just didn't expect you and your friends to crash our party and turn it into a shit show." Vito talks smack to Dave. "Yeah, why crash our it? You big, ghostly party pooper." Wendy then insults him. "BECAUSE YOU NOT ONLY TRESPASSED ON OUR GRAVES, BUT STRAIGHT UP TRASHED THEM!! What low do you scabs not stoop to?" Dave Jones asks them, ready to strike them with his giant pickaxe. "Wait STOP! Things have gotten better for workers in the United States since your time. Relax. We didn't know you'd all be this upset." Dipper comes in the conversation, serving as a mediator between them and the ghost. "How have they gotten better?" Dave then asks, still ready to strike at them. "We have a minimum wage, child labor laws, ability to get paid and work overtime, and unions can organize and strike." Mabel informs Dave. Dave then relaxes and lowers his pickaxe. "Okay, that makes me feel better. But that still doesn't justify them and those damn teens and partiers trashing Amber Mountain like they did. You knew this was a sacred place and you still brought over a hundred of your friends here." Dave then brings up. "Okay, we didn't know. We're sorry." Wendy then apologizes while taking a few steps back, feeling scared. Vito also takes a few steps back but feels little to no emotion, ready to pull his pistol out of his holster. Wendy then elbows one of Vito's shoulders, giving him the hint to apologize too. "……. We're sorry sir. You had me at killing the Schwabs but lost me at killing us." Vito then tells Dave. "Huh? You too Vito?" Mabel asks him, confused. "What the heck have they ever done to you two?" Mabel asks both Wendy and Vito. "Long story." Wendy tells her, wanting to drop the subject quickly at the moment. "That's good to hear, soon we'll burn this capitalist country to the ground and have all the pigs hang from the trees and streetlights!" Dave loudly declares and then has an evil laugh. "You see, that's where you lose people, and they don't join your cause. I mean yes, things are still bad now, but you know what? It could be worse." Wendy brings up. "I guess. Maybe I should calm down, it's not like the working class can get any more humiliated like they did during my time when I was alive." Dave thinks about the positives. "You see? That's the spirit. Together we can help you knock some sense into politicians and rich people without getting violent." Mabel said to the phantom of Dave Jones with a smile. "Yeah." Dipper said while also smiling. "Yeah." Dave then said, with a happy grin on his face.

Then out of nowhere, the ghost of Dave Jones starts to brighten up like a light bulb literally, and his ghostly shape starts to inflate like a ballon when an ion laser cannon hits him. "Oh no." He said, alarmed. The ghost of Dave Jones explodes into thin air and teal ectoplasm flies everywhere and the gang gets covered in it. "God dammit! This is my favorite jacket!" Vito shouted. Then the smoke begins to clear, and they see a mark seven with the Thunder Birds logo on its side doors, Blaze was one of the ion laser cannons which functioned as a side turret for the side doors, and so was Dan. Arturo is piloting it. "Alright kiddos, out of the pool! You've had your fun." Blaze tells them after both the side doors open as Malik wipes the ectoplasm off of Wendy, Vito, Dipper, Soos, Al, Mabel and Elton from their bodies. Malik and the rest of the thunder bird squad come out of the vtol with Colonel Walker and come to chat with Vito and Wendy on the town hall's rooftop while other VTOL gunships land in Amber Mountain or what's left of it with SECU soldiers and PAD personnel with automatic weapons coming out of the V-25 osprey gunships through their side doors and rear ramps. The V-25 gunships are looked like a mix of v-22 osperies and Mi24s, and they're armed with remote-controlled auto cannons, radar systems, rockets and missiles. "Vito, I'm very disappointed in you. You had us check if an area is haunted, which it was, and you and Wendy invited a bunch of your friends to have a party?" Malik scolds him. "Relax cap, they got out safely as soon as they heard gunshots from me shooting zombies and goblin crawlers. I had to get some guys out of the caves. I don't know where they are, they must still be inside. They went inside in spite of the barriers and traps they set up. Nate and Lee got turned into zombies." Vito then tells him. Wendy starts to get worried. Dipper then chimes in to change the vibe of the conversation. He runs toward them. "Guys it's okay! I know the way to cure them, it involves cinnamon and formaldehyde, and you mix it with ipecac and water." Dipper brings up to Vito, Wendy, Malik, and the others. "We know kid." The colonel tells Dipper. Dipper then notices that he has seen Malik before and puts two and two together and asks him "You're not really his parole officer, are you?" Malik then telepathically tells Dipper "No, I lied, I had to." Dipper heard what he told him in his mind and is stunned, his jaw dropped. "A telepath and a wizard." He said himself under his breath. "As for you Wendy, you're grounded." Manly Dan said to his daughter. "What? We didn't do much tonight other than dance to music and drink soda pop." Wendy lied. "I don't believe you. Remember the last time I caught you partying?" Manly Dan then asked. "Frorqho, wkhuh'v ghdg crpelhv doo ryhu wkh sodfh. Wkdw dorqj zlwk hpswb dqg kdoi hpswb ehhu fdqv dqg wkh jkrvw wrzq uhhnv ri wredffr dqg srw." One of the SECU soldiers told Colonel Walker over his radio strapped to his belt. "Zkdw derxw wkh nlgv zkr wxuqhg lqwr crpelhv? Wkh pxww wklqnv wkhb'uh lq wkh plqhv." Colonel Walker informs his SECU subordinate. "Zh irxqg wkhp lq wkhb'uh dolyh dqg zh kdg wr irufh ihhg wkhp wkh fxuh. Wkhb zhuh wublqj wr jhw wkurxjk wkh froodsvhg plqh hqwudqfh." The lieutenant told him. "Whq irxu." The colonel replied. It's a military lingo Dipper, Vito or anyone else that wasn't a part of the Office of Confidential Investigations (OCI) for a long time like Malik and the others, besides Manly Dan, has heard of before. It consists of three branches within it, the Bureau of Cover Ups, the Paranormal Activities Division, and the Supernatural Environmental Combat Unit. "What was that? I've heard that secret talk before." Dipper mentioned. The Colonel rolls his eyes and doesn't say anything, he didn't like that someone randomly entered the conversation. "What are you government guys doing here? Did you come because Gravity Falls was trapped in a time bubble by Bill? What are you searching for here in our town and roadkill county? What did you guys mean when you said you're helping mayor run this town?" Dipper barrages the colonel and the thunder birds with questions, feeing anxious and excited. "Your friends have been cured but not without some form of resistance." Malik tells them. "Awesome!" Wendy says in relief, smiling. Vito whistles in solace and wipes some sweat off of his forehead. Dipper tries to follow the colonel into the VTOL but is stopped by Manly Dan and Malik. "Why are you guys stopping me? I have so many questions to ask!!" Dipper tells the two. "Sorry Mason but I'm afraid there's just some things you're never going to find out. A lot of our work is classified. Even some friends of mine knew that." Malik tells Dipper by his real name. Dipper is stunned that he knows him by his real name without speaking a word to him. Dipper stops trying to speak to the colonel as he was clearly ignoring him, and he takes a few steps back towards his sister and Al. "So my brother is both a werewolf and a secret agent huh?" Al asks himself. "We'll talk after we clean Amber Mountain up, and I'll chat with you too Vito." Manly Dan addresses both Wendy and Vito. "As for you three and that Gopher man hybrid, go home. It'd take till midnight till we get this place cleaned up." Manly Dan said to Dipper, Mabel, Al and Soos. "Wait, doesn't Malik have magical spells that'd clean this spooky town up?" Soos asks the Thunderbirds. "Oh yeah that's right. You should do that. It'd save us a lot of time if you do a spell." Blaze tells his captain. "I'm on it." Malik tells him. Malik then pulls out an extendable cane, takes a deep breath before preparing the chant while tapping against the floor with the end of his cane. "NE-AHS-JAH LIN KLIZZIE GAH DZEH WOL-LA-CHEE THAN-ZIE DIBEH BI-SO-DIH TKIN GAH TKIN THAN-ZIE BI-SO-DIH DIBEH-YAZZIE DZEH WOL-LA-CHEE DIBEH DZEH NE-AHS-JAH LIN BI-SO-DIH DIBEH-YAZZIE DZEH WOL-LA-CHEE DIBEH DZEH MOASI DIBEH-YAZZIE DZEN WOL-LA-CHEE NESH-CHEE

THAN-ZIE LIN TKIN DIBEH THAN-ZIE NE-AHS-JAH GLOE-IH NESH-CHEE NO-DA-IH BI-SO-DIH." He chants. Then all the trash left by the party goers in Amber Mountain gather around like a tornado was forming and it all disappeared. "Like Wendy's dad said, go home, all of you." Malik tells them. "See you next week in school Wendy and V, Nate and Lee will take me home. Also, thanks for saying sorry and for saving my life V. I really do appreciate it. This was an awesome party." Elton tells them both while giving them a peace out sign as he went down the stairs into the building. "Later Elton, this was totally worth it." Wendy replies while Vito waves bye. "Wendy, can we have a talk?" Vito asks Wendy. "Yeah… sure." She agrees hesitantly. Wendy then nonverbally tells Soos and the kids to leave them be, Vito tells his squad-mates to do the same as they go to a private room within the town hall.

Vito and Wendy go to one of the office rooms in Amber Mountain's town hall. "Listen Wendy, I'm terribly sorry for what I said during truth and dare. I was drunk and I couldn't control myself. I am ashamed of myself." Vito apologized to her, feeling a lot of remorse. "Dude, I get it. You getting nearly raped by that guy really fucked you up. But you still can't say shit like that, ever." Wendy reminds him. "Elton told me he was gay as I was trying to get him, Nate and Lee out of the mines, and I didn't even know he was gay. He's a good man." Vito added. "I agree, he's cool." Wendy agreed with him. "That furry club of your's and Stefanie's wasn't a furry club, was it?" Vito asks, remembering what Hazel told him. "No it wasn't. I should've told you the truth days ago in hindsight. You have to understand though, I was trying to protect my friends." Wendy told him. "Nah, it's okay. I get why, and now I have a better understanding why you were so afraid of having your real orientation be known. I even know about that Peter guy who committed suicide because Stefanie had the names of all of the members listed on those posters." Vito said to her. "I know. Peter didn't deserve it. His parents were more than happy to accept him for who he was too. But let's get back to what I was saying earlier." Wendy changed the subject. "You need to be more sensitive next time and unlearn that garbage." She then tells him. Vito then grunts out of annoyance. "I get unlearning a lot of the shit my parents and elders fed me as a child, but being more 'sensitive?'" Vito then asks. "What's this? HR department?" Vito said with sarcasm. "Yes, you're speaking to the HR representative of Corduroy incorporated. Please hold after the beep. Beep." Wendy jokes. The silence in the room gives her a clue that her friend wasn't in the mood. "Listen I know it sounds corny and sappy, but you have to. Just start getting that bigoted trash out of your mouth and soul, just start thinking about what to say before doing so. Do it for me and my friends. Got it?" Wendy then asks Vito if he understood what he needs to do. "Sure Wendy, I'll start unlearning by tomorrow. I'll be chatting with Elton and Hazel about how to be nice to homosexual men, set up a group chat on the phone or something." Vito said to her. "Good idea." She said to him with a smile. "What if we invite your other friends into it?" Vito asks. "Dude, I really don't know if they want to talk to you after saying all of that vile shit. I'll chat with them about it." Wendy tells Vito. "I'll get my brother home." He said to her. "I'll drop the pine twins off at their dad's house." Wendy tells them. Before they get out the room, they hear a voice telling them "Thank you." Vito is dumbfounded while Wendy is a bit startled.

Two days later

It's close to five o clock in the morning, Wendy is having a Skype call with Tambry, Robbie, Nate and Lee, and it lasted hours over the whole night. "So, about Vito… considering what happened to him as a kid, can we let him in back into our group? He feels remorse for what he said during truth and dare, even Elton forgave him." Wendy adds. "No. Ever since he showed up, weird, supernatural, and horrific ass shit keeps happening. Did him coming out of that guy's house covered in blood, looking like a mass shooter raise any red flags to you?" Robbie asks in the video call, stunned. "I mean the guys he ripped to shreds were pedos and cannibal cultists, so no value of life was lost that night." Tambry said. "No kidding, but he's a real werewolf. Like a real werewolf. What if he transforms into one next time if we ever hang out with him again and he kills one of us?" Nate asks, feeling anxious. "Plus, he said I was a pervert all because I'm gay, and a bunch of other things. Elton maybe fine with Vito, but I really don't feel comfortable around the guy." Lee said. "Wendy, I really don't know if I can hang with that man. I mean get that he's sorry and all, but I have two dads. I'm pretty offended by his remarks and my dads wouldn't be nice to him at all." Tambry gave her best friend her take. "What made you consider still hanging out with him?" Robbie asks. "I… don't want to answer that question." Wendy said. Robbie shakes his head in disappointment. Tambry didn't want to say anything. "It's your funeral. I have to go." Lee said before leaving the call. "Same here." Nate said, also before leaving. Robbie left without saying a word. The only person on the call with Wendy left is Tambry, who looks very concerned. "What do I do about Vito? I don't want to cut him off from my life, and there is some decency in him and he's hardcore. It's just that like my dad, Vito can get over the edge sometimes, but I can understand why he's like that." Wendy tells Tambry. "Honestly, I think me and the rest of our group should take a break from Vito, for at least a while. Perhaps a year at least, or when he chills the hell out. I can understand that he's been through a lot, but that still doesn't excuse that nasty mantra the other night. It almost ruined the party for me." Tambry tells her. "Was it fun though?" Wendy asks. "Don't worry, I loved it. Good luck fixing that guy Wendy, if you can." Tambry tells her before leaving the call. She closes her laptop and puts it underneath her bed before her dad sees it or her awake, as she was grounded.

She sits in the wooden dinner table with Marcus and her dad. They're eating cinnamon and bacon flavored oatmeal from their bowls. "I've heard about the argument you and Vito. You're cutting him off or something?" Marcus asks while chewing his food. "No I'm not, I am just going to hang out with him and my group separately. He needs help and some friends." Wendy tells him after swallowing her food. "How are you going to fix this man Wendy?" Manly Dan asked while chewing on his food, with his mouth open as he chews. "That's the thing, I don't know if I can, but the least I can do is at least try to. Like if Robbie got over his crush on me and is going out with Tambry without problems, and isn't negative all the time anymore, then I think that Vito can change." Wendy said to him with confidence. "Mom fixed you when you two met, kind of." She then brings up to him. "Kind of? I'm just fine! Nothing wrong with me left." Manly Dan said while pounding the table with his fists. Wendy picked up her bowl and orange juice since he had a tendency to pound the table when upset. The force of pounds was strong enough to launch one of bowls of oatmeal into a cardboard cutout of one of band members of sev'ral times in its face, knocking it backward to the wall. "Oh no! Chubby Z! I'm so sorry!" Manly Dan shouts as he sprints toward to the cardboard cutout, getting out of his chair at the dinner table, and starts aggressively licking the oatmeal off of it, especially the beard part. "It's okay, daddy is here." Manly Dan tells it. "Say Marcus, I'll catch you later. I gotta go." Wendy said to her brother, as she awkwardly leaves the cabin. "Fine, I'll just take the bus then." Marcus said to himself.

As she gets out the house, she sees Vito sitting there in his car in the driver's seat with his seat down, in the driveway besides his dad's van in deep thought, staring at the roof above him. "Why did I apologize? When did I want to change my thoughts on the matter? Am I doing it for Wendy or my new friends?" He asks himself in his thoughts. "Okay, I obviously am. I don't want to lose my new friends because I need them. I need anchors to keep me sane or I'll lose myself. God help me if I lose everyone." Vito thinks to himself. Wendy was walking over to check up on him and lightly taps one of his windows. He sees that it's her and lifts his seat back up. "Are you okay?" Wendy asks him. "No, not really. My mom and dad grounded me and my brother for three days for lying to them since they overheard Al's big mouth, talking about it with some friends of his from his middle school on the phone. I had a rough day of training of how to use my powers with Malik and Blaze." Vito tells her. "That makes both of us." Wendy said to him. Vito grabs a cigarette from his pack and lights it. "Mind if I ride with you to school?" She asks him with her hand behind her head. "Anytime, just don't touch anything." Vito replied. He unlocks the passenger door to his car and Wendy sits beside him as he turns it on. "What did your friends have to say?" He then asks her as he gets out of the driveway. "Not good things to be honest with you. You spooked them twice now. First, they see you covered in blood strapped with firearms and a machete, pouring gasoline out of a house and blew it up, and then you had a drunken and bigoted rant and turned into a werewolf right in front of their eyes. They're taking a break from you. They get you've been molested and had a hard life, but you made a really piss poor impression on them, no offense." Wendy lays it down. "I'm shocked you and they didn't take a break from me or just ran when you all saw me come out of the house then." Vito said to her. "I mean a week earlier we've been through an apocalypse. Seeing you hold a gun to my friend's face was nothing. You didn't shoot him and it's the reason why I didn't just slit your throat at that moment and could trust you." Wendy explains to him as he drove out of their neighborhood. "I was wondering why you didn't kill me right then and there." Vito said. "Now you know." Wendy replied. "Any way I can win them back and make a good impression on them once they're done with their break?" Vito asks. "Give it time and they'll let it go. Also try to educate yourself on homosexuality and learn what LGBT people are really like by talking to people like Elton more, not just me." Wendy gives him advice. "Roger." Vito responded. "Sorry I fucked up your night and friend group." Vito then apologized. "That friend group is prone to breaking up. I can't help but feel that Thompson held the group together." Wendy admitted. She an tell that he's still down in the dumps and thinks of a way to cheer him up. "Since we're heading in school early, let's make up nasty stories about Stefanie through graffiti on the bathroom walls inside the stalls." Wendy suggests to him. Vito then smilies and asks, "What nasty stories about the bitch should we write in particular?" "Whatever we want." Wendy answers him. "Just what I wanted to hear, let's do each bathroom separately throughout the school. Everyone is going to see them every time they take a piss or shit." Vito then stated. "Awesome idea." Wendy agrees with the plan as he drives them to school.
