Dipper's eyes snapped open and he looked around, he was standing in an endless black void. "What kind of dream is this?"

"Mason Pines!" A voice boomed, "This is no dream, but a warning!" A figure began to emerge from the shadows. It had a strange salamander-like face and lanky arms. Its entire body was pink and it was indescribably massive.

"AH! What are you? And how do you know my name?" Dipper asked.

The creature laughed. "Do you not remember me, Dipper? I am Axolotl."

Dipper's expression changed as he put the pieces together. "Wait a minute are you that all-knowing being we met while hunting down time pirate treasure?"

"Indeed!" Axolotl boomed. "I am also the one who obliterated the Cipher after you played his board game. But this is no time to talk, I come to you with urgent news. The creature you call Eyegnome has harnessed the power of a Cipher and intends on doing irreparable damage to the multiverse that not even I can fix. Tell your great uncle this immediately before it is too late-" Suddenly Dipper shot up in his bed, wide awake.

Dipper ran downstairs to find Ford and Archer stepping out of the building. "Great uncle Ford, wait!"

Ford stopped and turned around. "Yes, Dipper?"

"I just had a dream and this Axolotl guy told me that you have to stop Eye Gnome because he has the 'power of a Cipher.'" Dipper explained. Ford's expression darkened.

"Then there's no time to waste. Dipper, stay here. Archer and I are going to take care of it." Ford ordered and he turned to leave with Archer.

Dipper was about to run after them when Mabel ran over to him. "Dipper! Hey Dipper!"

Dipper turned around to see Mabel clutching a glitter-covered binder. "Yeah, Mabel?"

"We need to start planning for our birthday party! This is going to be the biggest birthday bash since last year!" Mabel told him. Dipper looked at the door and sighed. "Come on!" Mabel said and she ran upstairs.

"Just relax. Ford has got this." Dipper told himself and he ran after Mabel.

Mabel had dozens of papers spread on the floor and was already frantically writing on a notepad. "Alright Dipper, so how many cotton candy machines are too many?"

Dipper took a look at one of the papers. "Wow, this is insanely elaborate. How long have you been planning this?"

"Well, you know how I almost failed math class last year?" Mabel asked.

Dipper's eyes widened as it clicked with him. "Hang on, you've been planning this since last year?"

Mabel nodded and she thrust a large paper into his hands with a drawing of what she wanted the party to look like. "I tried to balance all your weird dork stuff with my awesome ideas."

"Mabel there's a giant pig in this drawing," Dipper told her.

Mabel picked up Waddles. "Yeah, we're going to use the growey thing on him."

"Mabel I'm not sure any of this is practical. You have a t-shirt cannon larger than the Mystery Shack." Dipper explained.

Mabel frowned. "Dipper, where's your imagination?"

"Mabel this isn't about imagination, none of this stuff is possible," Dipper said bluntly.

"Oh come on Dipper, we've seen weirder!" Mabel argued.

Dipper sighed. "Mabel, we've never seen a giant living cupcake before, have we?"

Mabel threw her arms up. "Dipper why can't you just go with the flow?"

"How are you going to get a flaming ice cream cone, Mabel?" Dipper demanded.

"I don't know Dipper! I'm just doing it for fun! Why can't you just have fun?" Mabel clenched her fists and stormed off.

Ford and Archer wandered through the woods, Ford's head was buried in a map trying to navigate to the hideout.

"It should be somewhere to the north... ugh all these woods look the same," Ford groaned.

Archer jumped over a fallen tree. "That kid... Dipper. He mentioned the Axolotl. I've heard about how powerful that creature is, if he's worried then I'm not so sure about facing them head-on."

"He said they're using the power of a Cipher... but how could they possibly contain that much power?" Ford wondered. "Either way, I have faith. And once this is all over we can rest easy."

Archer scoffed. "Please, I'm not sticking around once this is all over with."

Ford came to a stop. "Oh. I wasn't aware of that."

"Look, Ford, it's been nice to see some old family and all but I didn't spend 10 years of my life training just to hang around some old town in Oregon. I have bigger things to accomplish."

"I just... I thought I had gotten you back." Ford told him. "I spent so long feeling guilty about what happened Shermy-"

Archer's expression hardened "I don't know how many times I have to remind you, Ford, Shermy is gone. You lost him 30 years ago."

"I..." Ford looked off. "I know. But after I finally got to reunite my family, and I began to fix my mistakes last year, I thought it could be the same. That's my mistake. On the bright side," He looked up at the large mountain in front of them. "We're here."

Dipper threw himself on the couch with a sigh. Stan looked over at him from his chair and raised an eyebrow. "Why so glum, kid?"

"Mabel and I were trying to plan our 14th birthday party and she had all these ridiculous ideas for what we would do and wouldn't admit how silly they were," Dipper explained.

"Well," Stan started. "You know your sister better than anybody else. She's got a wild imagination Dipper, and when she's passionate about something she can be very stubborn. It sounds like she cares a lot about this party."

Dipper shook his head. "It's not like I don't get that. But what am I supposed to do when she wants things that are literally impossible to happen?"

"First off Dipper, you've read those books. You know nothing is impossible. And second off, do you really think she actually expects the stuff she comes up with to happen?" Stan asked him.

Dipper looked down. "I guess not. Man, I was being really hard on her wasn't I?" Dipper stood up and ran upstairs, grabbing some of the books and running off to find Mabel.

Ford and Archer crouched down by the cave entrance and peeked inside.

EyeGnome and Gremoblicorn were both standing around a mysterious orange orb that seemed to be surrounded by bones. The orb was on a pedestal in the center of the cave.

"Finally! We can begin the Ultimate Fusion!" EyeGnome giggled.

Gremoblicorn nodded. "Indeed, we will finally have our revenge. There's no time to waste."

Multitaur flexed his arms and put his hands together. "When do we get to punch stuff?"

"Yeah, I want to finally get a queen!" Jeff said, his army of gnomes standing behind him.

EyeGnome began to laugh. "It will all come soon. With this spell, all our powers will be enhanced and we'll be able to wipe the floor with those disgusting townsfolk and that villainous Stanford once and for all!"

"Alright Ford, we need to get our hands on that orb. I'll try to immobilize the fusions and you can get that orb out of here." Archer told him.

"I can't just leave you to try and fight them off on your own, they're too strong," Ford said.

Archer locked eyes with him. "I'll be fine. I'm not your little nephew anymore."

Ford sighed and nodded. "Alright then, here goes nothing."

Mabel sat down on a stump outside. "Why does he have to ruin my fun all the time?" She asked aloud.

Waddles walked up to her and began licking her face. "Hey! Cut it out!" She said with a laugh. "I just wish he could go with the flow instead of having to ruin it with his nerd brain."

Waddles stared at her and oinked.

"Yeah, I guess I was being a bit too silly," Mabel admitted. "But it's supposed to be fun. It's our big birthday bash!"

Waddles began sniffing around and oinked again.

Mabel threw her hands up. "Ugh! You're right! We have to plan the thing and I can't just mess around. I should probably apologize."

Dipper ran up to Mabel at that moment with the binders in hand. "Mabel!" She turned as he sat down at the stump next to her and dumped the binders on her lap.

"Oh Dipper, I wanted to-" Mabel started to say.

"Don't worry about it. Let's plan this thing," Dipper told her. "I was thinking we could put in your ten cotton candy machines inside the Mystery Shack so Waddles will have a harder time getting to them."

Mabel began to grin. "Yeah, that's a good idea. We need fireworks too, for when we blow out the candles."

"Obviously," Dipper said.

"Dipper, I'm sorry I was being so difficult with my weird ideas," Mabel told him.

Dipper smiled back at her. "And I'm sorry I kept being so pushy," Dipper told her. "Awkward sibling hug?"

"Awkward sibling hug." Mabel agreed and the twins hugged, patting each other on the back. "Now, we have no time to waste. We only have a week until the greatest birthday bash ever. So we need to get right to planning." Mabel said.

Ford and Archer gave each other one last look and rushed in. Archer began firing arrows at the crowd, quickly dispersing them.

"No! They've found us! Quickly, attack!" EyeGnome commanded. Gnomes began to rush at Ford and Archer but Archer swept them aside and ran for the orb.

Multitaur grabbed Archer and tossed him away. "Not so fast small boy!"

Ford knocked EyeGnome out of the way and grabbed for the orb when he saw Archer on the ground.

Grembolicorn began blasting Archer with electricity. "I told you that you would pay for what you did! Suffer foolish boy!"

EyeGnome began to laugh and Time Zombie grabbed the orb away from Ford. "See Dark One? Your family will suffer just as you made us suffer! There is nothing you can do to stop us!"

"Ford! Get the orb!" Archer yelled between cries of pain. Ford looked at the orb, he could still get it if he tried.

"Go on Dark One! Try to get the orb, it won't matter. Our victory will be the same when we kill him just like we tried to all those years ago!" EyeGnome goaded Ford.

Ford shook his head and ran at Gremoblicorn, but before he could get close Multitaur grabbed him by the throat and threw him against a wall.

EyeGnome began to laugh. "Aw, look at how much he cares about his family. If it makes you feel any better, we were going to stop you if you tried to get the orb anyway!"

Ford tried to stand up but winced with pain. He glanced over at Archer. The man was covered in burn marks and bruised all over. He stared at Ford, seething with rage. "I gave you ONE job Ford. Why did you waste your chance on me?"

"You know why Shermy, even if you won't accept it," Ford told him.

EyeGnome rolled his eyes. "Boring. Can we get on with the ritual? Jeff make sure they don't interfere." Gnomes quickly grabbed Ford and Archer's arms and pinned them down.

The orb was placed back on the pedestal and Gremoblicorn began a chant. Ford and Archer struggled against the Gnomes as EyeGnome placed his hands on the orb.

"You will finally experience the full power of the Freaksions, Dark One!" EyeGnome yelled. "It is time for our master plan, and there's nothing you can do. Goodbye Gravity Falls, engage Operation Multiverse Fusion!"

The orb suddenly unleashed a blast of white light and then everything went dark.

End Credits.

Dipper and Mabel sat on the stump, planning out their birthday bash when suddenly the sky began to split.

"Dipper, what's happening?" Mabel asked.

Dipper looked up and his eyes widened. "Great uncle Ford failed..." He said with a gasp. "Mabel, come on, we have to get back inside right now." The pines raced towards the Mystery Shack but were suddenly stopped by a giant club slamming down in front of them. They looked up to see an Ogre glaring down at them.
