Dipper was on his room laying in bed reading the journal he found the other day trying to find more about his stand while justfulfilling his curiosity about the weird things in this town
"Maybe if i check the page about the weird arrow"he mused,once flipping into the selected page he read it throughly until a few words caught his eye "for more info on stands go 5 pages foward",he flipped but found the edge of a page,ripped long ago
"What?someone ripped it,who could want to know something like this,sigh i guess i'll have to search elsewhere"he thought
He stares at the arrow piece until a idea came to mind
"Wait a second,maybe i can just go to the page"he said happily jumping out of bed
"Okay,let's see [maps and legends] seek"he showed the ripped page to his stand,after touching it he became a map and fell in dipper's hands,the boy looked eagerly waiting for a trail to appear,but the trail went to the edge of the map,no X appearing
"It's outside gravity falls? Seems it won't be so easy after all"he said defeated
The door to his room was kicked open by mabel
"Hey dippster,grunkle stan is calling us"she said before leaving
AFTERWARDS
After a seemingly convincing argument,dipper and mabel were now blind folded in stan's car heading to god knows where
"And we are here,tada"stan said taking their blind folds
The twins saw they were in a lake where many people were fishing
"A fishing trip?"asked dipper skeptical
"Why not?you two have been in that house for days now,fresh air is good to the young lungs"he said boarding a very shady looking wooden boat
The twins looked at each other
"I don't know about this"both said slowly stepping away
"C'mon kids,what may be more interesting than fishing with this old geezer?"he asked in a semi sarcastic tone
A nearby ruckus called the attention of the twins,they saw a thin old man running around screaming
"I SAW IT,IT'S HERE THE TERRIBLE MONSTER,THE GOBBLEWONKER,IT ROAMS THE LAKE"he screamed around shaking some people before the owner of the boat renting shack sprayed him with water
"Stop dad,you're scaring my customers"he scolded
"But but,darnation"the old man said before leaving
After a few seconds dipper and mabel looked at each other,stan pales slightly
"C'mon you can't be serious,where would you find a boat better than mine"he said confidently,until soos came in a larger boat
With not even a moment of hesitation they boarded the boat,stan thought for a moment before talking again
"wait,why do you even want to find a monster?it would be just waste of time"he said convinced his argument was good enough,before a piece of paper hit him in the face
"ahh,the bills are back for revenget off get off"stan ripped the paper off his face,curled it up to a ball and threw upwards,which ended falling in front on soos,who uncrunched it to read,he then pointed it at the twins.
"hey dudes,check this out" he said making the teens lean closer
"if you think you have what it takes,show us proof of the supernatural and be rewarded 500 dollars" the twins smiled at each other,stan just looked with his mouth open at the situation.
"Let's find a monster dudes" soos said,the boat leaving the docks and off to the distance
after a few seconds of sailing,mabel realised something
"eh guys,how do we even find where the monster is"she asked,dipper smirked turning his stand into a map
"trust me,let's just say i have a special map that only i can see,it shows me whatever i want to search in gravity falls"he said proudly,mabel looked at him awkwardly
After dipper used [maps and legends] to find the island,they went about exploring it
"Wraaauuuu" they heard in the distance
"You hear that,must be the monster"he said pulling his backpack
"Here,take these cameras i bought earlier and get ready"he said giving each a camera
They walked to the source if the sound very carefully,going past a tree they saw...
"Beavers with a chainsaw,why am i not surprised"dipper ranted to mabel and soos
"That old man had to be telling the truth right?" He said but both companions looked at him skeptically
"Sigh,maybe he was just crazy after all" dipper looked down disappointed
"Let's go back to grunckle stan before he gets in" he was interrupted by noticing mabel and soos were looking at him with shocked and scared faces
"What are"he turned around to see the large sea monster
"WRAAAAAARRRRGG" the monster roared
"It's real,RUN!"dipper shouted
The two teens and the handyman ran away far from the water into the forest.
That didn't stop the monster however,as it started following them on land as well knocking down trees as it followed its prey
"Dipper,use that ghost map and find the boat"screamed mabel
"What do you think im doing?! It's straight ahead"dipper said following the trail on the ground
'Wrrrrrrr'
Dipper looked back to see a large tree falling right above mabel!
'Dammit,I can't my stand won't be able to change form and save her fast enough'his mind raced
"Mabel! Watchout!"dipper tackled mabel out of the way,both rolled on the ground
"Thanks bro"mabel said getting up
"Is what brothers do"dipper replied
From behind them came the monster,it's mouth open ready to eat the twins
"DUDES" soos screamed running back as quickly as he could
Dipper hugged mabel and closed his eyes,the next few seconds passed really fast.
The twins heard soos scream something,then sound similar to a roulette was heard.
The twins felt themselves hit and roll on the ground a few times,they opened their were a few away from the monster,but soos was now in front of the monster's open mouth.
Before they could blink he was swallowed whole by the sea monster
"SOOOOOOS"mabel screamed
Dipper grabbed her arm and started running to the boat
"Don't let his sacrifice be in vain"dipper said
As they ran the monster was quickly catching up
"Make your ghost do something" mabel screamed
"He isn't that strong,there is nothing i can do"he said as he saw a large rock in front of them
"I have an idea,stay in front of the rock,when i say you dodge"dipper commanded
Both teens positioned themselves in front of the rock,the monster reared its head back then launched foward to eat the twins but they were ready
"Now!" They jumped to opposite directions making the monster bite the rock,thus,getting stuck
"Now [maps and legends] analyze" the stand quickly placed his hand on the monster,it's user ready to use any information available.
But nothing came...
"T-this can't be right"dipper muttered in disbelief
"Spill it dipper,what does it say" mabel asked slightly desperate
"It says nothing"dipper muttered trying to reflect on the situation
He didn't have much time however as the sea monster was prying his teeth off the rock
"We are out of time[maps and legends] attack!"dipper commanded
'EUREKAAA'
The slim stand attacked the monster's the stand's fist striked the monster's scaly hide,pain coursed through dipper's arms with them suddenly breaking and shooting blood in every direction
"Ahhh" he screamed in pain
"Dipper!" Mabel screamed in concern for her brother's arms suddenly breaking
" 'huff'There is nothing i can do 'huff' let's go to the boat"dipper stood up trying his best to ignore the pain
Both teens rushed to the boat which was a few feet away
"I got it"dipper said overlapping his stand over himself,he then grabbed mabel bridal style,wincing after his arms ached,using the adrenaline rush to ignore the pain dipper jumped on the boat just as the sea monster tried to eat them once more,it's mouth inches away from them
"We did it"dipper said victorious
"Dipper,who will pilot the boat"mabel said giving a harsh reality check to his brother
"Roaaaarr"the monster appeared once more
It suddenly stopped,loud 'thumping' was heard before the monster starter to swing it's head around like it was in pain before a familiar sound was heard
"Use it" the twins heard faintly,the monster started to get red as steam came out of it's mouth,it lashed around before swinging its head downwards and spat out soos! Who landed on the boat with a hard 'thump'
"Hey dudes missed me" he said smiling
"Soos! You are safe"mabel said happily
"Wait how are you alive,was that steam you?"dipper asked
"Totally dudes,but it wasn't all me,i had some help"soos pointed to his side as figure materialized,it was robotic and semi humanoid,it was large around his size,it had no legs and big mechanical arms,its head resembled a nutcracker ,on it's chest was a screen with the symbol of a eye catching on fire.
"Soos,you have a stand?!" Dipper said incredulous but mabel was left confused
"Hold the phone,you can see him, people thought i was crazy,more than usual anyway"he said
"That's great,i have people who understand me now"he said hugging them
"Aw man,i wished i got one"said mabel kinda sad
"Uh guys,you can talk later,we still have a tiny problem" dipper said
"Roaaaaartr" the roar reminded them of what they were running from on the first place
"Oh yeah,shoot!"soos pointed,his stand looked at the monster and it's eyes glowed red before shooting a bright beam at the beast causing it to roar and dive in the lake
"Laser eyes? That's amazing " dipper said in awe
"That's not all,but I'll show you dudes later" soos said
Soos started the boat and they left off,after a few seconds nothing happened
"Maybe we hurt his feelings so he went to cry?" Mabel said
A few seconds passed before the monster emerged from the lake beneath the boat
"I was wrong!" Mabel screamed
"Soos,lose it"dippet said trying to maintain balance
In a attempt to escape they went through a area that was unfortunately full of people fishing,forcing soos to basically run over their boats,with the monster behind hitting any boat soos didn't.
It didn't matter how many curves and turns they did it was very hard to lose the angered monster behind their tale
"This isn't working! Soos,use your stand" dipper pleaded
"On it dude, [RAM] spin"soos said activating his stand ability
The roulette on the stands chest started spinning before stopping on the symbol of a various rubber ducks[RAM] opened it's mouth and hundreds of rubber ducks came out flying rapidly hitting the monster but only harmlessly bouncing off it
"Spin"soos said again
The roulette spinned once again and stopped on a rainy cloud,soon after the sky got dark and started to rain a lot
Dipper and mabel just looked at soos
"It isn't so bad"soos argued but it was quickly dismissed when a lightning bolt nearly hit the boat
"Okay okay,spin" soos gave in
The roulette showed the symbol of a volcano,but nothing happened
"A volcano appeared somewhere in the planet"soos said maneuvering out of the monsters bite
"Use laser vision" said dipper
"Or summon a god of space and time"said mabel
"That would be awesome but I can't,it's completely random "soos explained
Dipper looked around the lake for something until he saw a waterfall
"Soos,that waterfall,go there" he said
"You're crazy,we will die"said mabel shaking him
"No,from what i read every waterfall has a cave,trust me" he said
"You're the smart one"soos said going to the waterfall
When they went through the waterfall the boat crashed in a large boulder on the cave underneath,throwing them on some rocks on the other side of the cave,the monster hot on their tale.
To their horror the monster also went through as well and reached to eat them!
"Ahhhh"they all screamed with dipper and soos summoning their stands to protection themselves,but nothing came
They opened their eyes to see the monster was stuck due to its massive size
"We did it haha"they laughed
"Perfect,now i just need to take a picture and,where is the camera?!"dipper freaked out searching his pockets and his jacket pockets
"Ta-da"mabel said taking dipper's hat off revealing a camera
"Thanks mabel"he said
They started taking pictures of it for a while with many poses
"Now is just show these and that 500 dollars is ours"dipper said
As they were leaving a stone fell hitting the monster,taking part of it's skin revealing metal underneath
"What?"dipper muttered
The three jumped on the monster,and found a hatch
"That's weird"soos said
They opened the hatch to reveal...
"Old man mcgugget?"all three said in unison
"You built this"
"H-hey funny to find you here,do any of you happen to now how i got here"he said but the tjree just glared unconvinced
"okay,you got me,i did it"he said
"How?why?"dipper asked incredulously
"Sigh,i just wanted attention from my son,after his mother passed away he kicked me off,i thought that maybe if a monster he would give me more attention"the old man said
"But why built a giant monster"asked soos
"Is how i cope with my problems"he said excitedly pressing a button making a projector appeared
"When my wife left me i made a giant pterodactyl,when my friend didn't invite me to his birthday i created a robot and stomped on the party,now im working on a death ray haha"he said diving deeper in the robot,soon he started to laugh and nuts and bolts were flying off the cockpit
The three friends looked at each other before leaving,dipper looked at the pictures
"Is not worth if it isn't real,at least the adventure was something"said dipper sighing,before smiling
"And i found out there is more people like me"soos said happily
"That reminds me,soos,how did you save us from being eaten before"asked mabel
"You see" soos started
FLASHBACK
"DUDES" soos screamed running back
Dipper hugged mabel as both closed their eyes awaiting death
Soos heart was pumping rapidly as the large mouth approached the teens
"[RAM] Spin" he screamed ,his stand appearing beside him
The roulette in its chest started spinning with various symbols going across it before randomly stopping in one
The symbol was a cracked hour-glass
"Use it" soos commanded as the teeth came closer to the twins heads
BMMMMMmmmm tickticktickticktickticktick
The world around soos became devoid of color ,all around him slowing down until completely stopping
He made his way close to the twins,the stand then grabbed their frozen bodies and with a swing of its large arms it threw dipper and mabel backwards as far as he could.
The symbol disappeared and time resumed.
END FLASHBACK
"That's a powerful stand,too bad you can't control it" lamented dipper
"Eh,at least when it works it truly works "soos shrugged
"Let's see what stan is up to" said mabel
