Summerween

!

Deep inside the dark recesses of an unknown lair... a scarecrow-creature known manly as the Summerween Trickster is talking to a group of 'people'. The one standing in front of the Trickster is Mitch the Enchanted Rhinoceros, the caretaker of the Easter bunnies and chickens. He went rogue after tiring of looking after them and sought to take over the Easter holiday. Thinking that instead of candy, kids should get useful things like batteries and socks on Easter. He puts it to the test with predictable results. 

After losing his job he went into the blackmarket, selling magic items that he stole from the bunnies and chickens as he still knew where all the magic items they use were kept. Which came in handy when the merge happen and all but passive magic went away. There are still some spell casting magic around like the magic from that city with the giant troll underneath it, the witches there can still use their brand of magic, but to use it you need to be able to calculate in your head to be able to use magic. As their magic is 'Formulaic Magic' sorcery is based on mathematics, which many magic users who lost their magic couldn't handle the math needed to be able to use that brand of magic. A number of normal people whose jobs has them needing to know high level mathematics like accountants and actuary, learn how to use that brand of magic. 

Mitch managed to make a name for himself in the underworld as a guy to call for magic items that work or could still be used. Like the stuff he took from the Easter bunnies and chickens. Which is why he's been called in to help setup a deal with someone name Bill and a group he has gathered. And learning that Juniper Lee, the one who help stop him with his takeover of the Easter Holiday, he agreed to help. As the former caretaker of the Easter bunnies and chickens he has knowledge of holiday magic rituals and rules. 

"So, were in agreement? You willingly allow us to use your power and do as we wish in your domain on YOUR most hallowed night?" Mitch ask.

The Trickster nods. "Yes, I the Summerween Trickster so allow it and so may it be done!" 

A large flash of energy leaps from him and goes to the others in the room. 

"Trick or treat...," A figure cackles.

Gravity Falls Brighton -

Summerween is an annual holiday celebrated only in Gravity Falls, Oregon on June 22 or the second to last Friday of the month. It is celebrated because the residents of Gravity Falls love Halloween so much that they celebrate it twice a year. They use jack-o'-melons instead of jack-o-lanterns, since pumpkins are not ripe during the summer. 

Seeing how only Gravity Falls celebrates Summerween, Sunset seeing dollar signs has setup a Summerween fair which already gotten a crowd to come. She made sure to adversities the holiday through all the resorts she's owns and having TV ads played in the local region. All to get people to come and spend their money at the fair. Sunset is already planning on having the holiday be celebrated in Equestria to draw in tourist and bring in holiday money. 

For the kids who have just learned that there is a holiday that's like Halloween called Summerween that is celebrated in the nearby town of Gravity Falls. Many found it strange and wonder how the holiday even gotten started in the first place. But once they learned that there's free candy, they stop caring and just enjoyed themselves.

At the party supply store -

The Pines family go to the party store which was turn into the yearly Summerween supermarket. While most of the Pines and Soos do their own thing, Dipper bumps into Twilight. She tells him how the whole 'Mare-do-well' thing kept bothering her, so eventually... with the beavers and Stumps assistance... she visited Rainbow Dash.

After a heartfelt talk it revealed some rather interesting things. Rainbow actually DIDN'T want to forgive them for the humiliation she suffered during that whole incident... but she was so desperate to keep her friends and their 'herd' intact, she swallowed her pride and pretended she forgave them... but she never did... and openly wonders if this feeling of betrayal she pushed down deep. Was a contributing factor to her turning against her at the wedding as Twilight was the mastermind of the whole scheme.

Twilight realized she was guilty of similar. Back when everyone was badmouthing and shunning Zecora. She at first knew what they were doing was wrong... but she did nothing to go against her friends, her 'herd'... lest she lose them.

Twilight concludes that although 'true friendship' that was once the foundation of Equestria was great... It was starting to sound like what they had wasn't that at all... and more akin to some form of peer pressure... Suddenly... 'sticking together and being friends no matter what'... Didn't seem so black and white of a concept anymore...

Rainbow reluctantly agrees...

They talk more and she admits she's rather glad Sunset kicked her out of the Wonderbolts. Yeah, it sucked she needed to find a new job to make money. But frankly that job had become more and more degrading... and not just because Sunset had demoted them to 'over glorified sky performers'. Apparently after the 'attempted coup', Sunset wanted to make absolutely sure they couldn't try again. So she did some investigating and aired out a great deal of their dirty laundry to the public.

Turns out one of their famous veterans, Wind Rider had routinely sabotaged and got disbarred any 'new blood' who came close to breaking his most revered 'records'. Worse, seemed like the Wonderbolts never bothered to investigate very thoroughly into these crimes and the poor new recruit was usually given the boot. She publicly strips him of his medals, his retirement benefits and his pension, leaving him to find a job in his old age to keep a roof over his head. 

Then there's the Wonderbolts had a hazing ritual where they called each other the most embarrassing name possible. During basic training, they would encourage everypony to be the best. Even if it meant them being reckless and hurting other ponies. They went as far as abandon injured teammates and poach good pony's from other teams just to win. 

The hazing wouldn't had been out of place with a normal military unit. But seeing how the Wonderbolts never actually do any fighting just putting on air shows. Saying it toughens them up for real combat, was a complete bullshit. Seeing how during the attempted coup the Wonderbolts and the Royal guard all ran away from the fake dragon Sunset sent, which shouldn't have worked. The Wonderbolts are only hanging on as a show group with all ties to the Equestian government cut off and the ponies losing all faith in them. (1)

So desperate for money or no... Rainbow Dash was rather glad to be done with them.

But... now... now she really didn't know what to do. All her life she'd dedicated herself to her dream of being a Wonderbolt... and now that was gone. Scotaloo was getting reconnected with her parents and didn't really have any time for her anymore. She didn't even have her weather coordinator job to fall back on anymore, seeing how the weather of this world can't be controlled. The elements of harmony were useless now and being a dropout hadn't helped her job prospects... and even the rest of the girls seemed to have their own problems and were drifting apart... she just... she just didn't know what to do anymore.

In any case, she then invited Twilight to a mass-funeral later that week. Apparently, most of Fluttershy's pets after she was forced to release them when she couldn't afford to feed them anymore. Which many hadn' been able to adapt to a world where they weren't taken care of by pony's. Which included Angel Bunny thanks to an eagle flying down and carrying the bunny off to feed its young.

Twilight is torn, despite her issues with the others. She didn't feel comfortable just abandoning Fluttershy during a difficult time. Of course... if she went there the others would be there as well... and she wasn't sure she could handle that. True, Rainbow promised to keep the others off of her if she came... but still.

In any case, seeing how Dipper is here. Twilight is asking for advice on whether or not she should go or not.

"Well, it is a funeral so there is paying your respect. But of course, that is if you actually feel that close to the ones who are holding it. If you decide to go or not is up to you but, I'll come with you if you go and back you if you don't," Dipper said. 

"Dipper before, I go you should know that Wendy is going to the Summerween party that's happening at Tambry's house," Twilight said before running off. 

Dipper... starts to have flashes...

Before he could organize or think about them properly, Mabel greets him, and he has to put on a smiley face. They have a little fun together with the decorations along with Soos who keeps playing with a talking skull. As Mabel is having a good time... Dipper likes this... and wonders... why things couldn't just be like this? Why did things... need to get so complicated?

Talos 2 - 

Jenny carrying a box of scraps that was all that was left of Killgore and Pesterbot made her way to the recycler. Opening the bin compartment where the items to be recycle goes, she pours the contents of the box into it. Then she turns around to the eyebot camera that's been following her and filming her. She gives a wave as she turns on the recycler and the remains of the two robots was transformed into mineral and synthetic materials that were deposit into the other bin on the right side of the machine. 

"And that's how to use a recycler to make sure any evil robots won't be coming back by someone putting them back together," Jenny explains to her viewers on her youtube page.

"Or somehow they're able to pull themselves back together again," said Sheldon popping up from the side. 

"Can you believe that back in our hometown of Tremorton that the people there found Killgore so cute that even after he went and rebuilt Armagedroid. They still let Killgore do what he likes. I'm sure glad that we don't live there anymore," Jenny said. 

"Hey, we got a video call," Sheldon said using his upgraded smart phone to project a holo screen.

The screen showing is Brad. "Jenny how could you do that to Killgore."

"Easy he was already smash and instead of repairing him so that he can do more harm. As I like to point out that he and Pesterbot killed many Lego people and sapient bugs. I'm just making sure these killer robots won't be returning to do it again," Jenny said. 

"But they're so cute," Brad cries out. 

"Brad do you have anything else to say or just cry over a dumb toy robot that has killed people?" Jenny ask. 

"Can you come back to Tremorton and be our hero again?" Brad ask. 

"Why? Mom Wakeman went and built XJ-10 to handle that," Jenny said thinking about her new sister that mom Wakeman created to replace her after she left. Which she remembers seeing the blueprints of when everyone thought that she was evil, which Sheldon was the only one who didn't lose faith in her. 

"It's not the same without you. XJ-10 isn't a teenager robot she's a fully grown woman robot with no time to hang out or do anything like we use to do. She's all business and gives out tickets and misdemeanor, or arrest people as she's part of the police department. She gave me and Tuck tickets for interfering with police business when we tried to help," Brad said. 

"So first you insult me because I got rid of the remains of robots who killed living beings and you care more about how cute they are then the lives they took. And just expect me to go back to being the hero of Tremorton when it's was made clear that no matter what the people there will never be grateful for what, I do for them?" Jenny ask.

"Yes," Brad said with a straight face. Completely clueless that what he's asking Jenny to do, is asking her to help people that will never be grateful for any of her heroic deeds.

"People this is what it's like living in a Uselessvile," Jenny said turning to face the camera. 

"What do you mean?" Brad asks still completely clueless. 

"How about if something went and destroy Tremorton and killed lots of people with Tuck being one of those killed. And I wouldn't let you do anything to that thing that did it. All because its cute to me?" Jenny asked. 

"You'll be a monster," Brad said. 

"And you don't see anything that's like the example I just gave you with what Killgore and Pestorbot did to the Lego people and bugs? That only when it's something that affects you like Tuck being killed and I won't let you take care of the thing that did it because to me it's cute?" Jenny ask. 

"Hey...," Brad said getting it and not liking what Jenny is telling him about himself. 

"It only mattered to you after it became personal didn't it. You just expect me to comeback and keep on saving people who don't even pay me or give me any reason to stay and save them for free. Well guess what, unlike back in our old world. I'm not following that kind of mindset anymore. Or keep on helping people who no matter what will never do anything to deserve it," Jenny said turning off the connection with her old friend. (2)

Las Vegas - 

Inside Lucky 38 hotel and casino Mr. House is doing business with GAIA Prime. The company she started had quickly became very big, thanks to deals with other companies like his and Membrane who deals with advance technology. The latest project is improving on the machine animals that create blaze which is being used as fuel instead of oil. Which are also used for labor or for terraforming projects to make wastelands into fertile fields. 

With only pieces of his world coming to this new world, Mr. House took action as others were still trying to get back up. Using his small factory that he had underneath his casino which was mostly to repair and built new robots for use in the casino. He used it to make robots and selling them to get his name out there. Soon with his robots who switched to non-radioactive fuel, became a common sight around the country. He didn't stop there as he cherry picked technology here and there from the many different worlds to improve on his own robots. 

Learning from what happen in the Horizon Zero Dawn world, he made sure all of his robots had a way to be shut off. His robots are also thanks to how old tech they are with them using things like vacuum tubes to run their systems. Made them all but impossible to be infected by a virus as they didn't have any microchips in them and Mr. House kept it that way. With them the only robots that could be launch into areas that have that rouge A.I. going around and infecting machines. 

Not to say he hasn't been improving on his robot designs using the technologies that he has managed to gather. Mostly in improving on their cooling systems, his robots did have a problem in too much heat being built up in them especially the Sentrybots. They needed to expose their fuel rods to vent out the heat before they overheat and blew up. Now with better ventilation and coolant being used, his robots are running better than ever. 

Of course, there is his plans on using the designs of the XJ sisters but Wakeman has the patent rights to them. Mr. House had been planning on the war happening in his world and had everything planned out, till the merge happen and put an end to everything that he's been planning. But now in this new world he's began making new plans and from what he has managed to gathered, like how during that time travel trip that happen in Gravity Falls. Far in the future XJ-1 who is using her sister's XJ-9's old body is still around. And Mr. House is now making plans so that he'll be around just as long. After all with the merge happening and no longer a war on the horizon he has plenty of time to improve on his life extension pod or just replace it with something better.

Gravity Falls Brighton -

"There's no way I'm going trick or treating." says Dipper having flopped on his bed and staring at the ceiling.

Finally, alone, Dipper had reorganized his thoughts and flashes... and once more groaned over the stupidity of his 'other self'.

"Again! Why didn't my future self just TELL Wendy he was being hunted by a monster?! She totally would have believed AND helped him! It certainly would've been smarter then DUMPING ALL OUR CANDY! GAH! IDIOT!" Dipper said talking to himself and was so glad he wasn't THAT moron... anymore...

In any case Dipper thought things over. He wouldn't throw out the loser candy this time or be mean to random trick-or treaters seriously, what had his other self been thinking? Wendy wasn't even around to be impressed! Not to mention she'd think he was being a jerk for doing that! 

Just be safe though, he also sent a text to the Jenny's to be on the look-out for the Trickster and put eye's on Mable. But to his surprise, he saw there was no need! Not only did the XJ's do extensive research on mythological entities and had a strict policy of 'treat as real and dangerous until proven otherwise'. They even had a surplus of Candy to buy off the Trickster if necessary (Dipper can't help but sneer at the Memory Mabel who mocks alternate Dipper's suggestion of skipping 'trick-or-treat' and just buying it... like a SANE person.) Little weird and coincidental... but he wasn't going to complain.

But that still leaves what to do with Mabel. She is still down from what she did with the mailbox and people are still angry at her for wasting it, just to mail a video of her stuffing gummy worms into her nose. And then it hit him... a solution so simple, his alternate self would've weeped and cursed himself for not thinking of it himself.

!

Later -

Mabel, dressed as a jar of jam burst into the room carrying a matching Peanut Butter suit. "Hey, Bro-Bro! You ready to reclaim our throne as King and Queen of Halloween!?"

...and then she realizes he's not there...

"Dipper? Where are you?" Mabel asked looking around confused.

Then she finds a note on the bed.

'Dear Mable; Went out to a party with Wendy. Hope you have a fun night at the fair with Soos! We'll knock em dead the REAL Halloween though, just you wait! Love you, Dipper.'

Mabel... felt a stab in her heart...

"He... he doesn't want to be with me? For Summerween?: Mabel said as her lip's starts to quiver as a tear goes down her face.

!

In Town -

Dipper was amazed, he knew that a post-merge Halloween-like celebration would be something to see... but this was something else. Lots of people from the surrounding towns and resorts have all come to the town. The Ed boys had come along with many other kids from Peach Creak to enjoy Summerween. They're not alone as there are the kids from the summer camp running around, along with people from the Maw, Big Apple City, Rainbow Land, and Equestria. 

There are even people from out of state who came all the way to Gravity Falls to experience Summerween, which Sunset heavily advertised on all medias from online, to posters at her resorts. Drawing lots of tourists to come for the party and have some fun. With so many people coming for the holiday, Sunset has also called in many other entertainments to make Summerween a smashing party.

Speaking of which Sunset is walking around town enjoying the party she had setup. She's dress up as a Scottish warrior princess, wearing armor, kilt, and carrying around a spear she had picked up from the castle. Both her parents were also dressed up as a warrior king and queen. Then there are her sisters who are all dressed up as Scottish warriors and all carrying a weapon of some kind. 

Dipper blink seeing the floating faceless head man, manning a booth. There is a table with a large fish tank of water, next to an empty one. The object of the game if you can call it that, is to empty out the fish tank full of water and fill the empty one, using nothing but an eye dropper. Which both Mabel and Soos who drove her to the fair are doing, which Dipper has no idea why and what they would win. 

Dipper spotted Rainbow Brite and the Color Kids are busy displaying their powers for the crowds of people. They were hired by Sunset to use their powers as special effects for the party. All of them are dressed as their 1980's counterparts. 

Dipper saw Strawberry Shortcake dress as a scarecrow, Orange Blossom dress as a vampire, Lemon Meringue dress as a cat, Blueberry Muffin dress as a mummy, and Lime Chiffon dress as a witch, who also came with their family to have some fun while they work. Raspberry Tart who is dress up as a superheroine, is also there with Bread Pudding who is dress up as a king of bake goods. Sour Grapes dress as a bedsheet ghost is also there with her uncle Purple Pieman, selling pies. And Huckleberry Pie is dress as Elvis and playing songs of the king of rock and roll. 

Running around having fun are Molly, Andrea, Libby, Kat, Sheela, Tammy, and Dani who all went with a theme costume group as Power Rangers. Molly is the red ranger, Andrea is the pink ranger, Libby is the green ranger, Kat is the Yellow ranger, Sheela is the black ranger, Tammy is the blue ranger, and Dani is the white ranger. 

Dipper then looked over to another interesting sight; a monster that stank and held his eye's in his hands, a black and white whip-like monster, and one that looked like a freaky red bunny.

Icaus, Krum, and Oblina, were from a world where monsters ate garbage and lived to terrify humans. Since the merge, they no longer were able to hide, humans being more competent in this world, for one thing, but that was fine. They used to have to scare humans because without humans fearing them, they would just disappear which in this world they didn't have to do anymore. They were hired out to parties, pranks, amusement parks, holidays, etc. And were gleefully paid wages in garbage and toenails! Simultaneously making many of the monsters rich AND solving the world garbage problem! There are the recycler's but seeing how the monster's like eating rotten foodstuff as well as bugs, so they even work as bug exterminators. They even cleaned all the oil-spills in record time! It was win-win!

Then there are the robot toys the Gorgonites being sold, that are made by the GAIA Prime company. They're being sold as night time protectors of children who keep bad monsters away. They're really popular and have a series where new group's of characters are made. 

Another pleasant surprise were the monsters of the 'Monster Inc' world walking around. After the merge, there an initial panic in their community of a 'human Pandemic'. But with the help of the SCP and some brave Monster volunteers like Mike and Monster INC CEO Scully... they were able to prove the humans of this world weren't toxic. Now they went around making humans laugh and selling they're laugh energy to the whole world. 

Of course, today they were clearly making an exception and going back to their old ways for just one night. They were even nice enough to give their old scream-powers tech to the other monster group to make their business even more lucrative. Scratch and his fellow ghosts from Ghost World have setup a haunted house where people are paying to be scared. There's a door prize for the people who can get through without screaming in fright. And filling up the scream cans which are powering the scream-powered tech. 

And then of course... THAT song

[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGiYxCUAhks[/embed]

'Boys and girls of every age.'

'Wouldn't you like to see something strange?'

Friendly ghosts from Ghost World wafted through the air.

'Come with us and you will see'

'This our town of Summerween'

Skeletons were teaching people how to do the skeleton dance...

'This is Summerween, this is Summerween'

'Pumpkins scream in the dead of night'

Pumpkins grew faces as they sung, thanks to the plant powers of Patty O'Green. 

'This is Summerween, everybody make a scene'

'Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright'

'It's our town, everybody scream'

'In this town of Summerween'

The Scary Godmother was chaperoning young Trick or treaters...

'I am the one hiding under your bed'

'Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red'

The stores selling mattress were selling special 'monster under your bed' which are the robot toy Gorgonites. 

'I am the one hiding under yours stairs'

'Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair'

The hardware store was doing something similar with their own buy and get a robot toy Gorgonite.

'This is Summerween, this is Summerween, Summerween! Summerween! Summerween! Summerween!'

Howling Harriet scared ANOTHER T.P. prankster away, much to the homeowners amusement...

'In this town we call home'

'Everyone hail to the pumpkin song'

Rainbow Brite, Red Butler, and Yellow Carney is showing off their powers to crowds making the night sky lit up with lights.

'In this town, don't we love it now?'

'Everybody's waiting for the next surprise'

Sang a two-face mayor...

'Round that corner, man hiding in the trash can'

'Something's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll scream!'

Out pounced a werewolf, a ooze tuxedo guy and tentacle creeper...

'This is Summerween'

'Red 'n' black, slimy green'

Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud was showing off his 'Halloween tree' to weary travelers...

'Aren't you scared?'

'Well, that's just fine'

Sang some witches as they flew past using hoverbikes which are much more comfortable then brooms.

'Say it once, say it twice'

'Take a chance and roll the dice'

'Ride with the moon in the dead of night'

They flew past a walking, singing hangmans tree with hanging skeletons in his branches-

'Everybody scream, everybody scream!'

-The hanged skeletons take it from there.

'In our town of Summerween'

A freaky clown popped out of nowhere riding on a unicycle -

'I am the clown with the tear-away face'

'Here in a flash and gone without a trace'

-He rips off his face and disappears in a flash of smoke...

'I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"'

'I am the wind blowing through your hair'

Sang Shy Violet as she uses her power over the wind to make it sing, as it blew pass. 

'I am the shadow on the moon at night'

'Filling your dreams to the brim with fright'

What many assumed was a crazed specter on the moon... was actually clever choreography by bat ponies and Stormy using her power over darkness.

'This is Summerween, this is Summerween'

'Summerween! Summerween! Summerween! Summerween!'

'Summerween! Summerween!'

The three monster friends alternate from scaring people, eating garbage and clinking their expired milk glasses together in celebration...

'Tender lumplings everywhere'

'Life's no fun without a good scare'

Sang Corpse Kid and Bat-Boy

'That's our job, but we're not mean'

'In our town of Summerween'

Sang Corpse kids loving parents as they lead him along...

'In this town'

'Don't we love it now?'

'Everybody's waiting for the next surprise'

'Two... faced... Mayor... ah! Okay, I get it now... clever...' Dipper thought to himself.

'Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back'

'And scream like a banshee'

'Make you jump out of your skin'

Several Halloween town monsters wheeled in a mysterious scarecrow towards a fountain...

'This is Summerween, everybody scream!'

'Won't you please make way for a very special guy'

The scarecrow suddenly burst into flames and danced and flailed about.

'Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch'

'Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King, now!'

The scarecrow breathed a huge column of fire...

'This is Summerween, this is Summerween'

'Summerween! Summerween! Summerween! Summerween!'

It then jumped into the fountain... everyone seemed to hold their breath... then a couple of kids began to sing...

'In this town we call home'

'Everyone hail to the pumpkin song'

And like magic, Skeleton Jack- the Pumpkin King himself! -rose from the inky depths of the fountain while everyone sung him praises!

'La la-la la, Summerween! Summerween! La la-la la, Summerween! Summerween! La la-la la, Summerween! Summerween!  La la-la la, Summerween! Summerween! La la-la la- WOOO!!!!!'

Everyone applauded, including Dipper. Dipper couldn't help but notice that although the other major holidays had an abundance of Holiday leaders... but Halloween had so few?

In any case Dipper continued his walk to Tambry's house. The Summerween party still going on as he goes to a more privet party. Dipper still thought Tambry VERY lucky that Wendy was giving her a second chance.

After Wendy saved her from Thrax, Tambry came up to her in person and pleaded for them to be friends again. Up to that point she'd been only pleading through her with texts, for her to do it in person was so out of character that it stunned even Wendy. Now while Wendy could easily drop the likes of Lee, Nate and Robbie out of her life. Thompson and Tambry well, that had been different.

Thompson had NEVER been their friend... more jester, money lender or chauffeur. Wendy was so ashamed of herself when she realized this, she had a LONG, painful talk with him when she got the chance, they weren't friends (you can't lose what you never had) but they ended on good terms. And Thompson was the better for it! Last Dipper heard, he broke all other ties with the group and was now dating Lollipop girl.

Anyway, in Tambry's case, they'd been friends since they were kids which made her betrayal hurt even more. Tambry was willing to do ANYTHING to fix their friendship. Wendy, half-joking. Asked she give up on technology for a YEAR... and was dumbstruck when she agreed. Which was alot better than what one of Wendy's aunts had suggested for Tambry to do, kissing and.... having... It just had both Wendy and Tambry red faced at what that kind of making up detailed. She asked Dipper to ask Dib to keep track of her through her online account... and she was surprisingly keeping her word... and a bunch withdrawal symptoms... but mostly her word.

Touched by her commitment to fix things between them, Wendy decided to throw her a bone and come to her party. She hadn't flat-out forgiven her yet... but it was a start. And it is better than how her aunts had suggested in how they should make up. 

Dipper reached the house, the party was in full swing...

"Hey Dipper!" a voice called out to him. 

Dipper turned around... and was stunned. Wendy was a wolf girl- a furry-bikini clad with a brown body stocking underneath, claw glove-laden, fanged and marker whiskered WOLF girl.

Suddenly fingers were snapping in front of his face. 

"Hey don-Juan! There are other girls here too!" said an amused if slightly annoyed voice.

Dipper's eyes was finally torn away from a now giggling Wendy. And sure enough, the other two girls in his life were there. Pacifica, dressed as a Greek gorgon, complete with a toga. And Twilight....

"Starswirl the bearded!" Dipper said. 

"YES! Thank you! Everyone's been just calling me a bearded monk!" Twilight said. 

Dipper just shakes his head. "Seriously? How could they not get this? It's so obvious!"

Which Pacifica just looks confused at Dipper. "Really? How is that obvious?"

Dipper gives her a strange look, then points to Twilight. "Those patterns on the cloak are indicative of ancient Neighipt silk, specifically of Queen Leopatra's reign and only 17 were commissioned before she was assassinated by the Assp imperium. Add in the blueberry bells of the Coltic highlands on her hat and Starswirls signature beard, who else is she going to be?"

"Yes! Thank you! Why was that so hard for everyone to get?" said Twilight. 

Wendy and Pacifica just look at the two laughing nerds in disbelief.

Pacifica leans over to whisper to Twilight. "Marry him."

"Wha?" Twilight ask blushing then shakes her head of it and quickly changes the topic. "Anyway! Dipper, where's your costume!?"

"Wha?" Dipper said and then he remembered, that NO. He wasn't wearing a costume. Worse, Wendy was wearing a costume too! A GREAT costume at that!

Dipper trying hard not to show he was panicking. "Uh...one second! I'll have it on in a jiff!"

He ran to the restroom, cursing himself. He smacks his head and calls himself an idiot. He bumps into an annoyed Robbie but still runs into the bathroom.

He frantically searches through his backpack for something, ANYTHING he could make a make-shift costume out of- gah! Nothing but the journal, potions, tools, spare loincloth...

Dipper's eye's widen at that last thing... but no, shirely he wasn't THAT desperate.

Suddenly, there was a loud rapping on the door and Dipper, remembering he forgot to lock the door. In his blind panic, decided just to go for it! He almost rips off all his clothes and flings on the loincloth and runs out just as the door opens and Robbie enters.

The girls take Dipper in with a smirk as he comes to them hot, sweaty, panting and wearing nothing but a loincloth.

Wendy trying hard not to laugh. "Uh... little cold for that get-up, isn't it Dipper?"

Dipper trying very hard to ignore the cold, brisk breeze that was making him shiver. "What? No, it's all good!"

Pacifica smirks seeing how cold he is. "You totally didn't bring a costume and you improvised at the last second to impress Wendy, didn't you?"

"Yes," Dipper said hanging his head in defeat. 

The girls laugh.

"Oh, Dipper. What, you think blindly copying me is going to get me to like you more?" Wendy smirks. 

"No...I guess not," Dipper said. Suddenly, his other selves stupidity didn't seem that unlikely... he'd have to look out for that in the future... he was starting to think there's something to the 'love makes you stupid' trope...

"Okay, go get dressed wild boy," Wendy said. 

"Yeah, get back into real clothes and not that diaper," Pacifica said. 

Wendy and Pacifica give Dipper a playful slap on the rear as he walks by. Twilight tries to do similar with her horn, but this just causes a painful yelp and her hasty apology.

Wendy smirks, she truthfully wasn't one for costumes... but after the fight as a giant wolf and all those dreams. This costume just spoke to her for some reason... and Dipper... DANG! That boy was really coming along on his own! All the baby fat was gone and starting to develop a bit of a six-pa-

Wendy blushes, suddenly VERY self-aware of how little she was wearing...

'Okay...maybe this wasn't such a great idea after all...' Wendy thought to herself.

But this thought was quickly banished from her mind as a still loincloth-clad Dipper was now back-

"Let me guess; your clothes weren't where you left them in your blind panic and you think they got stolen?" Pacifica said. 

"Yeah...," Dipper said sighing then shakes his head. "You know what? I don't care! I'm not going to let this ruin my night! I'm my own person, celebrating Summerween MY way, with MY best friends! And I'm going to make the best of this!"

Wendy smiles. "Good for you Dipper!"

"Trust me man, count your blessings. It could always be worse," a voice said. 

They all turned around... and burst out laughing.

Lincoln enters Tambry's home wearing a pink princess dress complete with pointed, tasseled hat. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up. I lost a bet with the girls, so you might as well enjoy it."

Ronnie who is dressed as a barbarian warrior with a wooden bat as a club and wooden shield on her back, laughs as she grabs him and lifts him up like luggage. "YEAH! We're the heroes. I'm the barbarian warrior and Lame-o is the princess were going to plunder and ravish!"

Six who is still wearing her yellow raincoat but made up to look like a rouge. "And I'm the rogue."

Maxine Caulfield, Six's guardian came walking in behind the kids. She's wearing a blue shirt with brown overalls, a hard hat and carrying a shovel. "I'm a Miner from Clash of Clans. We're doing a fantasy theme group thing."

"I guess that counts," Pacifica said.

"The game is fantasy base so it counts," Wendy said who plays the game.

"We're going to join up with Canyon and Huntress Wizard later," Ms. Caulfield said. 

"Are you guys going to the stage show later?" Lincoln ask. 

"What stage show?" Dipper ask.

"Oh, I got Sunset to book some entertainment of a musical group, I found online," Tambry said making herself known. She's dressed up as one of those kids from the 'Hunger Games', with a bow and arrow set. Working at the summer camp got her to learn how to use a bow from Huntress Wizard. 

"Really?" Wendy ask. 

"Well, throwing a party at home with some friends is one thing, but it's not like my parents would cough up the cash to hire entertainment. So I emailed Sunset about this group, I found out about from the swamps of the south and brought them here to put on a show for Summerween," Tambry explains. 

"So, we're going to leave your house to go to the stage show?" Wendy said. 

"Yeah," Tambry said pointing to her parents who are dress up and partying with their own friends. "Besides my parents brought their friends to the party as well."

"By the way Wendy where are your family?" Dipper ask. 

"My dad is out with my brothers. My mom is with my aunts showing Morrigan and Lilith a good Summerween party time," Wendy said.

"I can't believe your aunts wanted us to join them," Tambry said blushing. 

"Yeah, I know," Wendy said blushing as well. The party is very adult themed and have adult entertainment.

"But, you know we could join them and...," Tambry was saying but was cut off by Wendy.

"You really want to do that instead of giving up using your phone?" Wendy ask conflicted.

"If you're into it," Tambry said blushing deeper.

"Come on let's leave these two," Twilight said as she lifts the kids with her powers and going out the door. 

"Agree," Ms. Caulfield said following.

Once outside Tambry's house she lets the kids go.

"Hey look," Pacifica said pointing to Wreck-It-Ralph walking down the street with those candy racers. 

"Hi Dipper. Good to see you," Ralph said waving to Dipper's group. "We're heading to the show!" 

"Come on let's go," Twilight said leading the group of kids following Ralph's group.

!

At the stage show -

The front of the stage had a large crowd all waiting for the show to start and more coming in. There are also many food and drink stands selling to the crowd as well as other stands. All of which been paid for by Sunset who is looking at the amount of money she's going to be making from this party. The money she already made from sales before Summerween already made back the money she invested already. (4)

"I'm sorry, what is this?" Sunset ask laughing. 

Marco and Star had turned up naked save for some leaves covering their privates.

"Uh... we're Adam and Eve! What's more old school then the first couple? Marco blushes and chuckles nervously as Star hides behind him.

Sunset just looks at him skeptically. "Star tricked you into going skinny dipping- again. And Janna stole your clothes- again. Didn't she?"

Marco sighs in resigned defeat. "Yeah..."

"Well, there are still some costumes on sale. I spot you two something to wear," Sunset said.

Dipper and the others just laugh at this sight.

"Wow, gotta say. Suddenly, wearing a nothing but a loincloth doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world," Dipper said.

"I agree," Pacifica said as she playfully starts to undo the knot holding his loincloth up, before he smacks her hand away annoyed. But she just smirks and gives him a teasing wink that causes him to blush.

"There is a custome shop you three just go in there and get something besides going around nearly naked," Twilight said pointing to the nearby store selling costumes. "Come, I have some money I can spare."

Dipper, Star, and Marco all followed Twilight into the shop and came out wearing a new costume. Dipper came out dress only in blue overalls and a straw hat, as Huckleberry Fin. Both Star and Marco are dress as basketball players. Twilight explained that she went with the cheap costumes.

"Hey, check out that," Wendy pointed to the fully operational power loader straight out of the Alien films. 

"Hey, it's Norbert and Daggett!" Twilight shouted it seeing the two beaver brothers riding on the shoulders of the power loader. Both of them dress like the facehuggers.

"Hey Twilight," Daggett said waving to her on top of the power loader. 

The power loader turns around revealing the one controlling the suit is Stump.

"Stump?" Twilight ask.

"Yeah, isn't it cool? Stump made this power loader so that we'll be a shoe in for the best theme costume group," Norbert said.

"I wouldn't count on that," Sakura said who is with the rest of the Street Fighter cast. 

"You guys aren't in costume so you guys can't enter," Daggett taunted. 

"Sorry he's right you all are just dress as yourselves so you're not in costume," Sunset said. 

"..........," Stump said. 

"Switch our clothes with another fighter game?" Ken ask. 

"Or better yet with the opposite sex. So, the female fighters wear the guys and the other way," Ronnie said causing many to laugh at the idea.

"While funny it would have my outfit be all stretched out or rip," Cammy said. 

"Or just be me trying to wear your clothes," Pacifica said pointing to Rose.

"You'll be dressing around my clothes on the ground," Rose said being much taller and bigger.

"We would need to find people who are the same body shape and height as us for the outfit switch to work," Ken said. 

"Well too bad none of you thought of that before, cause we're going to win," Daggett taunted. 

"...........," Stump said to Dipper.

"Yes?" Dipper said walking up to Stump.

".......," Stump said. 

"You got it?" Dipper ask.

"........," Stump said as a compartment open in the suit and out pops a Pip-boy like device.

"Ok it has only has 5 shots before it needs to recharge for about a minute. And besides the custom job you did on it, this pip-boy is just like any other pip-boy," Dipper said. 

"Going for the retro look?" Pacifica ask. 

"Yeah, I gave Stump something, I picked up and in exchange Stump made this for me with some future upgrades for it later," Dipper said. 

After the whole time travel thing with him and the young 7 each having a time tape. That was till Clockwork showed up and took the young 7's time tape from them. Dipper gave his to Stump to study and hopes that he'll figure out a way to get back to that car crash. So far Stump has made little gain in his research of the time tape. But using what he learned and using a pip-boy, Stump made it to be able to fire a bolt of energy that would slow anything that's hit by the bolt. But it only last for 5 seconds and can only be used 5 times before the pip-boy needs to recharge its energy level. That takes about a minute and 5 minutes if it overheats. Stump did say it's a prototype and he's still working on the finish design. And that time tape too was taken by Clockwork, saying that Stamp has what he needs.

Backstage -

The entertainment for the evening was making last minute preparations as the crew set things up. Taking things down from the number of trucks or RVs and trailers that made up the convoy that rolled into town. The group had been called in to play for Summerween in the only town that holds it. They group had been touring around the south making themselves a name when they were suddenly booked for the event in Gravity Falls. It was a long trip, but the money was good, and it help to spread the name of the Voodoo Masters. 

Baron Samdei had a... interesting year. First he found himself ripped from his home and thrown into a strange land. Striped of his powers and almost mortal like many other gods, demons and others of the likes. Fortunately, he sensed a true practitioner of the voodoo arts and had used what little power he had to draw him to him but also got the attention of a trio of magical beings as well. (5)

Dr. Facilier once wheeled and dealed in the dark forces of an alternate version of 1920's New Orleans. His dealings finally caught up with him and his 'master's' called in his debts. But thanks to the merge happening he was freed when his master's lost their powers and he met Baron Samdei. He offered his services to him. Facilier provided leadership, financial logistics and strategy to the other followers.

The Dazzlings, Adaigo Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk the group's band members. They're trio of Evil Diva Sirens from Equestria. They use Mind-Control Music to create hatred and conflict between beings, and feed on the negative energy their victims produce in the process. They were banished to the human world from Equestria, which heavily weakened their powers and trapped them in human bodies. They're traveling with Baron Samdei as his Boon allows them to regain their full power, but they have to be careful with their mind controlling songs as, they just use just enough to gather a crowd but not enough to control them. If they did they would be arrested by the police for mind control. 

Being around for over a 1,000 years the trio while still young looking humans, had all the time they needed to amass a large amount of wealth. Most was lost due to the merge but they had enough assets to still live off of and have invested their wealth into many companies and assets. With hidden cash reserves hidden around in the form of gold, silver, and other valuables. They provide the money and connects to keep the shady dealings under the radar. 

Indeed, while many of his fellow deities were either floundering or dead, Baron Samdei full power was nearly restored. And with said power he was able to grant his boons in 'borrowed magic' (one of the few magics still allowed in this world). But the rule with voodoo is that the user still can't conjure a thing for themselves was still in effect. But people have been turning to him to grant them magical powers, some being former magic users. Not to mention the potions and powders they sell works, even if sometimes it's be careful what you wish for is the result. Of course, for legal reasons and to have an FDA seal of approval, all the stuff they sell has instructions in how to use them and if not followed is the fault of the buyer. And also all harmful effects can only happen if the instructions aren't followed.

Facilier's scheme for a 'comeback tour' was a very profitable one and spread the name of Baron Samdei around. The large amount of blood sacrifices had greatly restored him almost to his former glory. The blood offerings are from animals from slaughterhouses, as having human blood offering is just asking for trouble. And the sheer amount of animals slaughtered for food more than makes up the weaker blood offerings. 

The shows they put on help spread the word of voodoo magic. He even visited by a zebra who lives in the nearby Everfree Forest who creates potions herself that's like voodoo. And he granted her true voodoo magic so that he has a new follower from the talking pony world.

Other henchmen that had gathered around him are:

The Great Fusilli, a talking alligator with a flair for Drama. It was his truck with a built-in stage they used to tour the country. He's the one who scouts the local talents to see which one would preform on stage or help with any of the acts. 

Croco a talking purple crocodile who wears a red tophat. He was already with Fusilli and handles the accounting for the shows and payroll. He also the one who hires the local work crew whenever they go into a new place, and the one who got the two Mr. Handy robots to help as the roadies for the show and cleaning the convoy cars. He was very surprised when his old foe Mario and his friends came to life from a videogame in Gravity Falls. 

Grimm a misanthropic, sadistic and sociopathic dwarf. He despised 'uplifting and sweet' stories and loved to twist and distort them into darker satires of themselves. As his powers let him jump from world to world, he didn't come during the merge but rather AFTER. His curiosity peaked, he's hitched a ride with their group to see what will come of this 'tangled mess of a reality'. His shtick is taking old stories of pre-merge life and twisting them darker versions for the amusement of the crowd.

Origami a French thief who once had an artifact that allowed him to turn into weaponized paper. After the merge it became useless, but through doing services to Baron Samdei he eventually gained enough boons to regain his powers. He works his paper magic as an act and sometimes with Grimm. 

Max a 10ft tall giant of a man. They found him crashing from the sky on a deflated balloon of a child actress. He used to work for a sociopath child actress named Darla Dimple. He now works as the muscle and makeup. 

Frida Dominguez a Mexican lady who is a very voluptuous vixen, who crashed in a canyon, in a food truck. She and a bunch of other people who ended up plummeting into a two-mile deep canyon in Alberta. The canyon has been named Crash Canyon. Till the merge happen and thrill seekers climbed down the canyon and ended up finding the small community of strange and quirky people who were trap down there. Frida joined up with the show as the cook and serving meals to paying customers out of a new food truck. Which she learning from her time in the canyon is able to make do with whatever ingredients are at hand. 

Odlulu a pre-teen girl that they picked up on the road. She always sports a yellow baseball cap with black stripes and glasses with angular black frames, as well as shoulder-length black hair with a yellow streak. She wears a dress that consists of a long-sleeved top with black and yellow top, and an all-yellow skirt. Her outfit is completed by black socks with white cuffs that she wears up to her knees and blue shoes. She was part of her world's Worldwide Wanderers Society before the merge happen and she found herself all alone. They keep her around for her uncanny ability to find the shortest path to where they're going and finding useful items while she wanders around the places they put on shows. There is also her collection of magical keys each having a different power that now have their magic back thanks to her boom she gotten. She also works the sound systems for the show.

There is also Fritz who is a hungry ferret and Odlulu's pet. Who helps out as a roadie seeing how he can reach all the small hard to reach places. 

Vivi who is a curvaceous, vampiric vixen with purple skin, with a Southern belle accent who once ran a "funeral salon". She use to work inside a castle of a brain in a jar trying to take over the world, before a repairman caused the whole thing to blow up. She survived and she was discovered by Odlulu when she was wondering around and came across the ruins of the castle and the coffin Vivi was trap in. Now she works as the makeup girl and has a pretty good singing voice too. As for blood she was delighted to know that she could just buy blood from any hospital and blood bank as there are plenty of vampires around now, with blood that are going to go bad being either sold or just given to them. 

Mary Philips also known as Stormer when she was part of the band The Misfits during the 80's. She composed her band's music but never gets credit for it. She was picked up when Odlulu ran into her living in a trailer park and working at a bar during one of her wanderings. Odlulu heard her songs when she was playing at the bar she worked at and talked her into joining the group as both the composer of songs and help with the costumes. Mary enjoys being on the road again and getting credit for her work as they do sell her songs on CDs with her being listed as the writer. And it is nice to meet up with old fans who still remember her. 

Then there are the frog bouncers. Lead by Max they're a group of 13 frogmen bouncers who use to work as security staff for a rock star chicken. Made up of Bucky, Squints, James, Bear, Frans, Samuel, Jerry, Vincent, Dick, Laurence, Kenny and Bob. They handle crowd control and other issues being the roadies when the two Mr. Handy's aren't around. 

And finally, Sugar a former child pageant champion of rustic background. Sugar is fearless, extremely competitive, and will do anything to gain an advantage over her fellow contestants on the cancel Total Drama show. Although she is crude and unintelligent, her pageant experiences give her the ruthlessness to be a much more formidable player than she seems. She joined up with the traveling show and been showing off her many different talents. 

Total Drama after the merge was hit with a landslide of lawsuits and fines, which the network threw Chris McLean under the bus. Thanks to him killing off unpaid interns to test things out for a new season, and the deaths weren't treated as something that just happens and move along. And he's now serving a life sentence in a hellhole prison, and also has to deal with all the lawsuits that he has to pay out of his own pocket. He is now a has been who is mocked by the entertainment world, all the power he once had is now gone. His assets are all gone with him having to sell them for legal fees, or were sized by the authorities to pay off his many debts. And the network he once worked for had to declare bankruptcy and all assets were sold off, causing Chris to be backlisted from every single network. Not that he will ever get out of prison, and even if he does he will be in his 90's when he's be able to try to get parol and if he does win to be set free, he be too old and be homeless to enjoy his freedom.

"Sound and light system is up and ready!" Odlulu shouted from her computer and sound systems. The two Mr. Handy's which Odlulu had named Dip and Chip are making sure all the lights are working. 

"Right people, places! We're on in five minutes!" Dr. Facilier shouted as he uses a spelldrive to animate some Voodoo skeletons to take the other band member places while Vivi applies make-up to Baron Samdei, being helped by Max and Mary.

After the merge happen and magic going away, it was discovered that there is a work around to no more spell casting magic. By using a spelldrive, which is a mystical computer that can be used to cast spells. It uses "power points" to cast the spells, and each spell uses a different number of power points. The number of maximum power points a spelldrive can contain appears to be three. The user of a spelldrive does not need any specialized mystical knowledge to perform the spells, as the spelldrive does the casting itself. 

Of course, seeing how the spelldrive comes only from the world that Dib came from and how rare they were already. Getting your hands on one is hard and expensive, as they are very hard to make. Professor Membrane is the only one who makes them and how to recharge them is either buying a replacement cartridge, buying a recharger that slowly recharges the used magic over time by drawing magic from the surroundings or by going to a place where there is passive magic where it will do it on it's own. Or thanks to having a Voodoo god around, Baron Samdei is able to just recharge the spelldrive by casting his magic into it. 

"Oui, Dr. Facilier," Max said as he uses powder puff on Samdei and Vivi makes sure the makeup is just right.

Near Gravity Falls Brighton -

In a RV Mitch is watching from cameras of what's happening in the town. He knows that he's not a master mind but he's still cunning and smart enough to learn a thing or two about the world the merge created. He'd discovered that the 'passive abilities still worked, wand casting and spell casting abilities don't, borrowed magic worked' rules, although good rules of thumb, didn't account for EVERY variable. Seeing how some like the ghosts, and some demons still have their powers or at least most of them. 

According to some demons he has been able to make contact with, their powers aren't magical, for some of them at least, which is why they can still do things like they used to seeing how it isn't magic. Like a fire demon can still toss fire around as that's a natural ability that all of their kind can do. Like a dragon being able to breath fire, or a element bender being able to bend an element. 

He's been busy in setting himself up with M.C.D. which in their world sold items to the rich and powerful. Which is why he agreed to setting this whole thing up, so he could show the ones in charge of that operation what he's able to do. He already supplying them with magic items but he wanted to show them what else he can do for them, so that he'll be able to work his way up the ladder. 

The M.C.D. are always looking for a way to make money, but they are very strict on what they sell, nothing that can cause too much trouble or attention on the company. They're always on the lookout for new blood that are earners and not sell them something that kills off costumers as that's just bad business. Any new machines or magic item needs to be tested or showed that it works, which is why the cameras. 

Which Mitch knows he needs to show he can earn the company money. Like that guy who bankrupted the oil soaked countries, which he learned after watching the news on the Middle-East and learning about how blaze was made. There's a bio potato farm that uses a bag that's always full of potatoes to make more potatoes than they actually farm. The potatoes besides used for foodstuff, are being used as the raw material for a recycler to turn into organic materials that are used in a specially made fabrication machine. That is based on the system that the machine animals use to turn plant matter into blaze. Which is used to create blaze on the industrial scale which is now the main source of fuel. Already making large sums of money for the group and giving them a steady supply of fuel for their operations. 

With blaze being a powerful bio-fuel that is plentiful and Eco-friendly and the Gaia Prime company mass producing fabrication machines made to produce blaze on the industrial scale. It caused oil prices to drop as demand for it as fuel fell with people turning to blaze. Not to mention after the merge happen the Middle-East became war torn with many different groups fighting to rule. And with oil not being the only fuel source anymore, the Middle-East being a big name on the world stage fell with the oil price, which for many of the oil rich countries made up more than half of their exports, with the ongoing wars quickly draining away their savings, many Middle-East countries went bankrupt. (3)

With other countries having their own issues to deal with thanks to the merge, and how hostile they are to other countries in the first place. And oil which is the main reason why they're important in the first place gone, the Middle-East on the most part with some exceptions was left to fend for themselves. With the ongoing wars quickly draining away their remaining resources. Leaving the remaining government with less and less to offer in exchange for aid. 

Mitch couldn't help but smile at that thought. Reminding him of what the magic world had become once their spell casting magic was gone and how low they went trying to regain. Like the people who hired him to help with their plan for revenge. He called help from Jack Spicer with his technological and magic knowledge to build a machine for the plan to work. 

Oogie Boogie: a living sack of creepy crawlies with a gambling addiction. He longs to crush Sandy Claws and Jack Skelington!

Other Mother: Feeding off the love and adulation of others, this twisted creatures lures unwanted children, feeds on their life-force through their love, then twists the husks into dolls for her collection. She's here simply to feed.

Fright Knight: This ghostly specter was once the ruler of Halloween in his realm and use to serve the Ghost King. He desires vengeance against Danny Phantom.

Auntie Roon: A demon witch who was banished by an ancient Te Xuan Ze many centuries ago. She like the Fright Knight wants revenge on Juniper Lee. 

Ko the face stealer: Like most spirits from Korra's realm, he lost everything after the Merge... with his powers now restored he wants mortals to remember to FEAR him once more!

Chang: Once a member of the dragon council before she betrayed them and sided with the Dark Dragon. She escaped thanks to the merge and is seeking revenge on Jake Long for imprisoning her master. 

King Sombra: A snarling, black-hearted unicorn king who ruled over the Crystal Empire and enslaved its inhabitants long ago. Celestia and Luna banished him and turned him into a living shadow, but not before he hid the Crystal Heart that protected the empire and caused it to vanish with him. After a thousand years, Sombra returns with plans to continue what he started, with him taking revenge on Celestia and Luna. 

All of them restored to full power through the Tricksters blessing (they had to agree to make 'loser candy' popular after this whole thing completely stupid but Mitch wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth here). It would only last until the first light of the day AFTER Summerween, but that be all the time he needed.

"Ok once the ritual is cast, this machine," Jack said placing his hand on the large machine that has a small radar dish on top of it. "Will amp up the Tricker's power so that he will have complete control over the area affected by his power."

"But it will only last till midnight when Summerween is over," Mitch said reminding everyone of the limits.

"That's plenty of time for all of us to have our revenge," Oogie Boogie said. 

"And for my holiday to spread," Summerween Trickster said.

"I have all the crystals ready," Sombra said.

"Alright places people," Mitch said.

Gravity Falls Brighton -

Felicia waved toward the people at fair as she finished her latest song along with her new band. Who are made up of some of the videogame cast members from the Darkstalkers game. First is Lord Raptor a fellow undead rocker with his own axe, Demitri Maximoff the vampire lord on the keyboards, Hsien-Ko is on the drums, while her twin sister Lei-Lei playing the sax, and Jedah Dohma who is the bassist. 

With no place to call home, many of the videogame characters ended up living at the Maw, while others have taken up jobs at resorts and casinos owned by Sunset. While others have taken up job offers with other companies and groups. Sunset is making plans in opening up a theme park base around videogames which would employ many of the jobless videogame characters but is tied up in red tape with the different game companies. Till then many of the videogame characters are working at the casinos for meet and greets or showing up at the other parks. That has gotten lots of fans to come to meet them.

"Thank you! You've been wonderful! Up next we have the master of all that goes bump in the night, the lord voodoo himself! Baron Samdei! But first, the standard warm-up act. Harry the Albino Werewolf doing... something...," Felicia as she left the stage her her band mates.

The Scary Godmother's lazy roommate Harry walked up to the mike, adjusted his notes and coughed to clear his throat, he raised his hand, opened his mouth wide. "The Aristocrats-"

BUMP!

OOF!

A large anthropomorphic Tomato is thrown at him, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey! I don't care how bad he is, we do NOT throw tomato's in this town!" Bob the Tomato shout as he jumps off the stage as everyone laughs as Harry got back up.

"As, I was saying, The Aris...." Harry began to say but was hit with a pie this time. He wipe off the mess by eating it before looking around the laughing crowd. "Ok who did that?"

At a stand selling pies, Scary Godmother was whistling as she handed human Applejack the money for the pie she just thrown. She was still mad at Harry for that bill for all of those pizzas he gotten. 

Dipper laughed along with everyone else as Harry tried to tell his joke and something is thrown at him. Till the big pole with the hook appeared and lank the werewolf off the stage. Letting the main act to finally start.

The Baron himself...

Aside from Max on the electric keyboard... all other band members were ghosts, ghouls, or zombies... all raised from the dead right before their eyes... With the exception for the Dazzlings and the purple vampress who acting as a backup singers.

'Hahaha. You ain't scared... YET.'

He playfully teases the audience...

'Things that go bump in the night. Me, Sam B. Heh.'

He starts out slow...then really gets into it! just in time for the sparklers!

'Shrunken heads, broken legs, body parts on the concrete'

'Cut 'em up butcher style, gators of the swamp'

'Red light, leave 'em dead, running like a track meet'

'Scared of nobody, what you motherfuckers want?'

'Believe me when I tell 'em I'm a bogeyman beast'

'Leave 'em slashed from their head to their feet'

'Pin bricks to the chest of a bitch well fed'

'Cooking meat, cannibal trying to eat'

Meanwhile, around the town small black crystals began popping out of the ground and growing in size.

'I got a zombie army and you can't harm me'

"Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'Drink blood like a vampire without warning'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'(Stand up)'

'Sam B got the thing that go bump in the night'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'Hide your kids, grab your wife, better get outta sight'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'(Let's go)'

The Man in the Moon watched from above as everyone had a fun time during this 'Summerween' celebration... not a care in the world...

'Sam B to Papa Shango and Baron Samedi'

'Handful of fingertips, toss em up like confetti'

'Stable of corpse bitches, I'm a pimp of the dead'

'Come fuck with a zombie I'll put a stake in your head'

'Look you want ghouls? I got fucking platoons'

'Baby everybody dies, I see your ass real soon'

'Crack bones to the marrow, hot sauce and they suck it'

'Now my Juju ain't nothing to fuck with'

'Sam B'

Mitch patiently watched as the machine reached 95%... and rises...

'I got a zombie army and you can't harm me'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'Drink blood like a vampire without warning'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'(Stand up)'

'Sam B got the thing that go bump in the night'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'Hide your kids, grab your wife, better get outta sight'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'(Let's go)'

Sombra watched as his crystals grew and charged with power. He channeled his power into the main crystal that he's using to control all the others. 

'Cut your head off you leave your motherfuckers dead.'

'I got a zombie army (Sam B) and you can't harm me (Ah)'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch? (Yeah)'

'Drink blood like a vampire without warning'

The crystals linked up as black energy linked each of the crystals that surrounded the town.

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'Sam B got the thing that go bump in the night (Mm-hmm)'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch? (Yeah)'

'Hide your kids, grab your wife, better get outta sight'

'Who do you voodoo, Bitch?'

'(Me, Sam B)'

The crowd cheers as a dome of dark energy covers the entire town.

Back on Earth -

"NOW!" Mitch shouted out the moment Sombra activated his crystals.

The Summerween Trickster activated the ritual circle and began both his meditation cycle and his incantations... soon, as much passive power of Gravity Falls Brighton as he could muster would be relayed to all his allies.

Without missing a beat, Mitch marched up to Jake who is looking through the burnt out remains of the machine.

"Right, you salvage what you can from this then evacuate immediately. All non-combat personal, crucial equipment, and research material have all already been safely sent elsewhere. I'll be joining you shortly," Mitch said and turns to Trickster. "This is where we take our leave. The rest is up to you and your allies."

Ghost Realm -

Clockwork was monitoring what's happening in Gravity Falls Brighton when he was blasted by a powerful blast of energy. Clockworks tried to sense who attack him but something was hiding the one or ones from him. He tried to use his time powers but to his surprise whoever is attacking him could still attack while time was frozen. Meaning whatever is shielding the one attacking him is very powerful to hide from his powers. 

"Who are you?" Clockworks ask finding it odd he can't sense anything or see anything. A rare thing for him to experience. 

"Villains!" a voice shouted out. 

Clockworks raised his staff as four figures flew at him at super speed and more figures in the background came charging at him.

Author's Notes -

1 - While you can say that hazing will toughen up people who will be out in the field being shot at and them killing people. Hazing to join a group that doesn't do anything like that and are just for show like the military of Equestria. Is like hazing someone who wants to join the crossing guards of a school. And yes I'm comparing the Wonderbolts to crossing guards as that's all they actually do and never do anything against any of the villains. 

2 - Only in fiction people will continue to help people who will never be grateful or pay them for the service. 

3 - The Middle-East losing the power it has on the world stage once oil is no longer the number one fuel source, is what probability will happen once it happens in real life. The lion share of income coming from oil sales, will cause many countries in the Middle-East to go bankrupt.

4 - With how much Sunset spent on fixing up Equestria. She is always looking for a way to make money.

5 - Baron Samedi (English: Baron Saturday) also written Baron Samdi, Bawon Samedi, or Bawon Sanmdi, is one of the loa of Haitian Vodou. Samedi is a loa of the dead, along with Baron's numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix, and Baron Kriminel. He is synchronized with Saint Martin de Porres.
