Chapter Three: A Whole New World

While the others had been deciding who to vote for, Mabel simply watched with curiosity, doing her best to block out the mentions of the crude way the boy was murdered. She was so desperate to avoid it, in fact, that she ended up moving around to place some spare scratch-and-sniff stickers around the hospital before finally returning. Much to her luck, it seemed that the decision of who would be checked had finally been made.

"Soooo you got someone picked out, right?" the child inquired, tilting her head. Not really giving anyone the chance to answer, she continued. "Sweet! Let's go!" And, without another word, Mabel turned heel and began to lead the group back towards the shack. She just hoped that Dipper was back and alright by the time they got there...

Not exactly the case, but at least they'd be figuring out if the group had guessed correctly on the murderer, right?

Upon arriving, Mabel didn't exactly waste any time. Considering her Grunkle Stan didn't seem to be in company of the alleged 'Friendship Sceptre' lying on the desk Wendy was sat at, the young brunette didn't really hesitate. "Heya, Wendy! Can you hand me that little gold pony stick thingy?"

"Sure, dude. Just, make sure you use it responsibly and all that," the redhead remarked, picking up the sceptre and handing it to the girl before bursting out laughing. "Haha, nah, man - just kidding. Do whatever the heck you want."

"Thanks, Wendy!" the child replied, cheerfully moving right up to Jack with a bright smile. "Kneel!" she exclaimed to Jack, considering she was too short to reach up terribly high. After he complied, Mabel stood as tall as she could, her eyes closed and her chin held high. "I knight thee..." she started, mockingly mimicking a knighting ceremony and bringing the sceptre down on his shoulders... Just a little too hard. She didn't really seem to notice how strong she was. But hey - the Friendship Sceptre was glowing blue! "...Sir Jack of the..."

"..."

"Haha, whatever - blue's good, right? That means you're not a super psycho cray-cray killer!"

Looking rather pleased with this fact (likely not understanding that this meant they all still weren't safe), the young Pines girl glanced over the group before seeming to make up her mind on something. As she stood there, the sceptre in her hand began to glow an even brighter blue than usual. It shone so brilliantly, that Mabel had to gasp. "Woah... does that mean you're, like, one of those investigator peoples the umbrella guy was talking about? Neato." Mabel shrugged, not really getting it. "Anyways, c'mon - maybe Grunkle Ford's figured out how to get you guys back to your weird alien places!"

...And found Dipper.

With that being said, the girl raced down to the lab with the group in tow, glad to see both Mom and Ford were around. Yet, at the same time, her heart sank when she realized she didn't see Dipper. "...Hey, Grunkle Ford! We found the crystals to get the mini bro-bros back to their normal size, and..." A pause. "...Have you, like, figured out some sort of crazy teleporty thingy yet?"

Ford didn't respond at first, his head buried in the story book Mabel had given him. It was only after Lalonde had cleared her throat that he looked up and gave his Great Niece a big smile. "Just in time, Mabel! I have managed to figure out how to isolate young Dipper from this book! However..." Ford picked up the tome and turned it around so that Mabel and the others could see pictures of some of the other characters in the story. "He's not the only one trapped in there. Unfortunately, it will take a great amount of power just to remove Dipper, so I think I could only free one more after him for the time being. Who will that be? Well, there seems to be someone who had died during the story. That means he won't be anchored and it should be easier to get him out than the others!"

"Yes! Thank you thank you thank you, Grunkle Ford!"

Mabel didn't really get the majority of what her Grunkle was saying, but she was visibly excited about the part where Dipper was going to be freed. Her eyes lit up with joy and relief, and she clapped her hands excitedly while she waited eagerly for Ford to place the book on a contraption it looked like he and Lalonde had just built in the portal room. "Now," he said, one hand to his chin. "We should only have to flip this switch, and..."

A great white light burst forth from the book. A wind picked up as the pages of the tome began to flip through rapidly. From the white light came a faint whisper, though no one in the room could discern what it was saying. This continued for what felt like far too long until two glowing bodies were spit out from the book. Once they hit the ground, the glow around them would fade and the group would find the prime Dipper laying on the ground. Beside him was Michaelangelo Scarlatti, otherwise known as Spike.

Once the whispering ended and the wind died down, Ford pressed a button and the light from the book faded. Dipper raised his head from the ground and muttered, "Hey, uh... What's going on...?"

"... Mabel?"

"Dipper!" Mabel exclaimed, wasting no time in tackling the newly-emerged Dipper in what might've been the most affectionate embrace in history. She was so happy and relieved that she felt she could cry. Instead? She settled for snuggling and hugging him tighter than she probably should've.

"Wonderful!" cried Ford. "It's a complete success. Hopefully their molecular structure is still intact!" Ford moved to help Dipper, whom Mabel was still clinging to, up to his feet. Once that was done, he turned back to the group. "Now then, as for the rest--"

But Ford froze when he saw what was happening in the middle of the group. Pearl, defying all logic, had thrust her staff right through poor LeShawna.

0GiZt7Q.png


"That was... exhilarating! I've never had this much fun before!"

Her voice sounded strange, and the look on Pearl's face was somehow more manic than usual. As others moved to stop her, Pearl's body shifted into a form of pure flame, eliciting a pained reaction from Ford.

"Someone stop that thing!"

The fire floated up into the air, only for it to turn then into Inigo and fall down to thrust the staff into Clarence as well. From there, Inigo's eyes went wide as he searched the room, his eyes eventually landing on one of three numbered books... "Finally!" he yelled, leaping toward the books and turning into an ugly and massive creature.

KAHuJJf.png


It grabbed the Journals and started flipping through #3, the one that the Gravity Falls residents knew contained the likeness of one Bill Cipher. In a panic, Ford ran to the controls for the portal. "It can't be allowed to read that book!" The man saw no other option before him and touched at the controls to activate the portal. Lalonde ran to stop him.

"Ford! I don't that's a good idea--!"

TsUQq3o.png


The journals in the creature's hands flew from him and into the portal. The creature stumbled after them, only to be pulled in himself. A wind picked up as the portal then refused to close, beginning to pull everyone inside. Dipper was first to be pulled in alongside his sister, followed by Lalonde and Ford.

It was an odd sensation, being sucked through. It almost felt like the molecules of the group, themselves, were coming apart and then being pieced back together. Not that the group would really feel it - it was likely hard to stay conscious through the experience.

When everyone came to, they'd find themselves in a rather dusty and old basement. There was no furnishing, and all kinds of junk was strewn about without a care. What was odd was that the majority of the objects about seemed awfully... strange. Much like the wares of the mystery shack, in fact. From the looks of things, they were the only ones down there, at the moment - and there seemed to be no trace of the shape shifter around. Mabel laid on the floor, unconscious, a box of random objects having toppled onto her. Meanwhile, sounds could be heard coming from the upstairs area of wherever the hell they were. One just had to hope whatever was making it wasn't hostile.

Sam was in the middle of his checkers game. He had just said "King Me." When he disappeared. The person he had been playing with, a young Medical Intern who was passing by, and a nurse were all startled as Sam just up and disappeared. No one would believe them and their story of the "Guy who disappeared during that checkers game in the hospital."

Anyway, Sam and Dean sat up rubbing their heads. "Where are we?" Dean asked, a bit confused. It felt like he had a hangover somewhat. Multiversal travel will do that to ya. "And where the hell were you, Sam?"
"Playing checkers in that hospital room. Someone had to stay with that girl."

"Where'd Dad's book go?"

"Last I saw, that guy in the Bowler hat had it. Which is why I had to play checkers. Because he took it."

"God dammit, Sam."

Sam and Dean looked around the room.

"I hope the results have pleased you all and revealed why you should not vote without evidence. As for my role... The little blonde girl and her friend, Mandy and Grim, are innocent."

That was all Jack had to say to the others after the end of the vote. He had no doubt that he would soon be targeted by the killers terrorizing the group, and as such, he could only hope that the people around him would finally listen to common sense and not waste his forced sacrifice. However, for now, that didn't matter.

Instead, he needed to ensure that Mabel was alright, and as such, he began to push aside the clutter that had fallen upon her.​
 
"Don't tell me switched universes again! I better get frequent flier miles for this." She-Hulk groaned as she got back to her feet. "Where could we be- Mabel!"

Noticing Mabel's predicament she'd go and help Jack get her out of the rubble. "Are you okay?"

It appeared that Mabel was out cold, a small, pained groan slipping past her lips through her 'sleep'.

@The Tactician @Jeremi
 
So Jack was an Investigator and innocent.

That meant the other sword-wielder of any skill was the knight who spoke up after Roman asked for veterans. Also now, they could eliminate the chick and the reaper as traitors.

But the most important part of this for Roman personally.

The traitors would target Jack now instead of him for his personal investigation into the death of the last victim. He had a breathing space. Where there was life, there was hope and where hope was, Roman could do what he did best. Sorry Jack.

But better you then me.

Now unless that one weird girl with the big nose was a shapeshifter all along(considering this weird group, he wouldn't put it past her), Roman would wonder when exactly, they switched places.

And then he started searching for the journal the shapeshifter had snatched.

Sadly, it appeared there was no trace of the journal to be found. Perhaps the shapeshifter had taken it with during it's escape?

Sam and Dean looked around the room.

For the most part, it didn't seem like there was anything useful in the space. The journal was gone, the shapeshifter was gone, it seemed the majority of the things in the basement were junk or didn't work, and...

320


...That was odd. It looked like there was some sort of flashlight with one of the crystal's that Mabel had grabbed attached to it. That was weird - certainly there hadn't been time to do such a thing since arriving, and Mabel was unconscious, anyways. So how had that happened?

"People? We may be trapped in another world, one of us needs medical attention and Jack is gonna need a coffin maker- No offense."

He added as he looked around, uncharacteristically sympathetic as he swore under his breath.

"But here's the bad news. The journal that thing was trying to read out of? Its gone."

Chapter Three: A Whole New World

While the others had been deciding who to vote for, Mabel simply watched with curiosity, doing her best to block out the mentions of the crude way the boy was murdered. She was so desperate to avoid it, in fact, that she ended up moving around to place some spare scratch-and-sniff stickers around the hospital before finally returning. Much to her luck, it seemed that the decision of who would be checked had finally been made.

"Soooo you got someone picked out, right?" the child inquired, tilting her head. Not really giving anyone the chance to answer, she continued. "Sweet! Let's go!" And, without another word, Mabel turned heel and began to lead the group back towards the shack. She just hoped that Dipper was back and alright by the time they got there...

Not exactly the case, but at least they'd be figuring out if the group had guessed correctly on the murderer, right?

Upon arriving, Mabel didn't exactly waste any time. Considering her Grunkle Stan didn't seem to be in company of the alleged 'Friendship Sceptre' lying on the desk Wendy was sat at, the young brunette didn't really hesitate. "Heya, Wendy! Can you hand me that little gold pony stick thingy?"

tumblr_inline_nhzkeqdiTK1sfidxp.png


"Sure, dude. Just, make sure you use it responsibly and all that," the redhead remarked, picking up the sceptre and handing it to the girl before bursting out laughing. "Haha, nah, man - just kidding. Do whatever the heck you want."

"Thanks, Wendy!" the child replied, cheerfully moving right up to Jack with a bright smile. "Kneel!" she exclaimed to Jack, considering she was too short to reach up terribly high. After he complied, Mabel stood as tall as she could, her eyes closed and her chin held high. "I knight thee..." she started, mockingly mimicking a knighting ceremony and bringing the sceptre down on his shoulders... Just a little too hard. She didn't really seem to notice how strong she was. But hey - the Friendship Sceptre was glowing blue! "...Sir Jack of the..."

"..."

m82urMQ.png


"Haha, whatever - blue's good, right? That means you're not a super psycho cray-cray killer!"

Looking rather pleased with this fact (likely not understanding that this meant they all still weren't safe), the young Pines girl glanced over the group before seeming to make up her mind on something. As she stood there, the sceptre in her hand began to glow an even brighter blue than usual. It shone so brilliantly, that Mabel had to gasp. "Woah... does that mean you're, like, one of those investigator peoples the umbrella guy was talking about? Neato." Mabel shrugged, not really getting it. "Anyways, c'mon - maybe Grunkle Ford's figured out how to get you guys back to your weird alien places!"

...And found Dipper.

With that being said, the girl raced down to the lab with the group in tow, glad to see both Mom and Ford were around. Yet, at the same time, her heart sank when she realized she didn't see Dipper. "...Hey, Grunkle Ford! We found the crystals to get the mini bro-bros back to their normal size, and..." A pause. "...Have you, like, figured out some sort of crazy teleporty thingy yet?"

Ford didn't respond at first, his head buried in the story book Mabel had given him. It was only after Lalonde had cleared her throat that he looked up and gave his Great Niece a big smile. "Just in time, Mabel! I have managed to figure out how to isolate young Dipper from this book! However..." Ford picked up the tome and turned it around so that Mabel and the others could see pictures of some of the other characters in the story. "He's not the only one trapped in there. Unfortunately, it will take a great amount of power just to remove Dipper, so I think I could only free one more after him for the time being. Who will that be? Well, there seems to be someone who had died during the story. That means he won't be anchored and it should be easier to get him out than the others!"

"Yes! Thank you thank you thank you, Grunkle Ford!"

Mabel didn't really get the majority of what her Grunkle was saying, but she was visibly excited about the part where Dipper was going to be freed. Her eyes lit up with joy and relief, and she clapped her hands excitedly while she waited eagerly for Ford to place the book on a contraption it looked like he and Lalonde had just built in the portal room. "Now," he said, one hand to his chin. "We should only have to flip this switch, and..."

A great white light burst forth from the book. A wind picked up as the pages of the tome began to flip through rapidly. From the white light came a faint whisper, though no one in the room could discern what it was saying. This continued for what felt like far too long until two glowing bodies were spit out from the book. Once they hit the ground, the glow around them would fade and the group would find the prime Dipper laying on the ground. Beside him was Michaelangelo Scarlatti, otherwise known as Spike.

Once the whispering ended and the wind died down, Ford pressed a button and the light from the book faded. Dipper raised his head from the ground and muttered, "Hey, uh... What's going on...?"

"... Mabel?"

"Dipper!" Mabel exclaimed, wasting no time in tackling the newly-emerged Dipper in what might've been the most affectionate embrace in history. She was so happy and relieved that she felt she could cry. Instead? She settled for snuggling and hugging him tighter than she probably should've.

"Wonderful!" cried Ford. "It's a complete success. Hopefully their molecular structure is still intact!" Ford moved to help Dipper, whom Mabel was still clinging to, up to his feet. Once that was done, he turned back to the group. "Now then, as for the rest--"

But Ford froze when he saw what was happening in the middle of the group. Pearl, defying all logic, had thrust her staff right through poor LeShawna.

"That was... exhilarating! I've never had this much fun before!"

Her voice sounded strange, and the look on Pearl's face was somehow more manic than usual. As others moved to stop her, Pearl's body shifted into a form of pure flame, eliciting a pained reaction from Ford.

"Someone stop that thing!"

The fire floated up into the air, only for it to turn then into Inigo and fall down to thrust the staff into Clarence as well. From there, Inigo's eyes went wide as he searched the room, his eyes eventually landing on one of three numbered books... "Finally!" he yelled, leaping toward the books and turning into an ugly and massive creature.

It grabbed the Journals and started flipping through #3, the one that the Gravity Falls residents knew contained the likeness of one Bill Cipher. In a panic, Ford ran to the controls for the portal. "It can't be allowed to read that book!" The man saw no other option before him and touched at the controls to activate the portal. Lalonde ran to stop him.

"Ford! I don't that's a good idea--!"

The journals in the creature's hands flew from him and into the portal. The creature stumbled after them, only to be pulled in himself. A wind picked up as the portal then refused to close, beginning to pull everyone inside. Dipper was first to be pulled in alongside his sister, followed by Lalonde and Ford.

It was an odd sensation, being sucked through. It almost felt like the molecules of the group, themselves, were coming apart and then being pieced back together. Not that the group would really feel it - it was likely hard to stay conscious through the experience.

When everyone came to, they'd find themselves in a rather dusty and old basement. There was no furnishing, and all kinds of junk was strewn about without a care. What was odd was that the majority of the objects about seemed awfully... strange. Much like the wares of the mystery shack, in fact. From the looks of things, they were the only ones down there, at the moment - and there seemed to be no trace of the shape shifter around. Mabel laid on the floor, unconscious, a box of random objects having toppled onto her. Meanwhile, sounds could be heard coming from the upstairs area of wherever the hell they were. One just had to hope whatever was making it wasn't hostile.

Aran had no idea what to make of anything that just happened. The samurai was innocent, some kid came out of a book,and now they were sucked into God knows where.

Naturally, Aran blamed Hideo.

But he could deal with that sod later. Right now, Aran started looking to see if there was any way out of there.

"...Eugh. That part's never fun. Interdimensional travel or teleportation or whatever that was, sucks. No pun intended." Gwen cracked her neck, working out the kinks in her bones before hopping up and going into her stretches. Like the stereotypical wise old mentor would say, it is always best to loosen up and get limber. With that done, she looked left. She looked right. She looked up. She looked down. "Yes, yep, oh yeah, uh-huh." Gwen nodded before clearing her throat.

"Ahem. In my expert opinion, this is a dusty, old and abandoned basement. Therefore, we must be...IN A HORROR FILM! This is vintage scare tactics. Junk room, ominous sounds from above..."
"But here's the bad news. The journal that thing was trying to read out of? Its gone."
"And missing stuff! Next thing you know we'll be splitting up to investigate and that's when the killer strikes! Black guys or plucky comedy relief dudes go first. Hmm." She glanced through the crowd of people to determine who that would likely be. "Thankfully I'm genre savvy, so stick with me and we got this in the bag!"

"People? We may be trapped in another world, one of us needs medical attention and Jack is gonna need a coffin maker- No offense."

He added as he looked around, uncharacteristically sympathetic as he swore under his breath.

Wiruko could tell that they needed that journal, but it was gone now.

"Do not worry, you did not apologize for setting this motion before, so I see no reason for you to have to apologize now."

In any case, it wasn't as though Mabel was protesting.

@The Tactician @Jeremi
Jack made sure he held Mabel in a comfortable manner before looking to Hideo, "The journal. It seems to be the item we need now."

The group was in luck - there did appear to be a set of stairs out of there. It was probably a good idea to consider how to go about leaving, though, since there was obviously someone- or something -occupying the floor above them.

Or, y'know, they could just barge through the door at the top of the stairs like a bunch of barbarians. That worked, too.

For the most part, it didn't seem like there was anything useful in the space. The journal was gone, the shapeshifter was gone, it seemed the majority of the things in the basement were junk or didn't work, and...

...That was odd. It looked like there was some sort of flashlight with one of the crystal's that Mabel had grabbed attached to it. That was weird - certainly there hadn't been time to do such a thing since arriving, and Mabel was unconscious, anyways. So how had that happened?

@The Silver Paladin

Sam decided to pick up the flashlight.

What could possibly go wrong?

"Perhaps one of you should go first in case we clash with some sort of beast as I can not help at the moment," Jack proposed as he reminded them of his currently unconscious passenger.
