Transcendence of the Pines

Chapter 1: Ice Cream Sadness

The day started out normal enough. After waking Toby up for school and insuring his safe departure, Alcor blipped himself back into the mindscape to spend some down time with his flock of nightmare and dream sheep. Alcor was just sitting down to pet Erschie when he felt the familiar tug of a summons. Sighing he let himself be pulled towards the summons leaving his flock behind. As a powerful immortal demon Alcor wondered if it was too much to ask for a day off to just chill with his flock.

By the time it came to pick up Toby from the high school Alcor had already dealt with three summons of varying degrees of importance, though the last one had left his suit a bit stained from the blood of the foolish who had tried to bargain with living human sacrifices. Today was supposed to be a nice calm day, with the added bonus of Toby treating Alcor to ice cream at the newest ice cream parlor that just opened up last week. With school day almost over for Toby Alcor would have to hurry to meet him at the school, so that he could get the ice cream that was promised to him. Quickly Alcor used his powers to shift his form in order to clean off the blood and change his appearance to that of the human guardian of Toby "Tyrone Pines." His appearance now was that of a clean shaven young man in his late twenties with messy brown hair, brown eyes, and average height. This was the Dipper Pines that the eternal twelve-year-old could only dream were possible, before the whole transcendence fiasco that turned him into a demon.

Departing from the house he shared with Toby, Alcor proceeded to walk down the street heading to the school two blocks away. Alcor arrived at the school a few minutes later only to discover that Toby was not at their agreed upon meeting spot in front of the school. While strange this was not unusual for the boy, as occasionally he would get so wrapped up in homework that he would forget all about the time. Resolving to visit the student office to have the receptionist make an announcement inquiring for Toby's presence at the front of the school, "Tyrone Pines" headed inside the school building.

On his way to the office Alcor spotted one of Toby's teachers and decided to ask the man if he had seen Toby around.

"Excuse me, Mr. Gallagher I'm Toby Pines' guardian Tyrone Pines have you seen Toby recently? I was supposed to pick him up from school today."

"Mr. Pines, no I have not seen Toby he was absent from my class today," Mr. Gallagher grumbled back as if Toby's absence had offended him.

"What?! But, I know that he went to class!" shouted Alcor. It was very unlike Toby to miss class, unless…oh no.

"Well he wasn't here today," Mr. Gallagher responded, a bit surprised by Tyrone's outburst.

At this point Alcor knew something was very wrong. Toby would never miss class the only exceptions to this were medical emergencies in the case of his asthma or the far more likely case of cult abduction.

Quickly thanking the man Dipper left the school building. Walking briskly down the street and ducking into an ally way so that he was out of sight, he then proceeded blip back into mindscape taking on his more demonic appearance. His eyes regained their golden glow, his teeth became shark-like again, his ears regained their point, his hands and feet regaining their claws, and his demonic wings reappeared on his lower back. Now dressed in his black tailored suit with his top hat floating just above his head Alcor began to reach out with his semi-omniscience attempting to locate the soul of his once most hated enemy Bill. After searching for a good hour he was left at a loss, Toby was not anywhere on Earth. So where could he be? Alcor widened he search to the limits of his omniscience, and just as he was starting to give up hope of finding the boy he felt the distant presence of the mark that he had placed on Toby for his protection. Toby was not on this earth, instead he had somehow landed himself in another dimension entirely. He had been looking forward to the ice cream parlor trip that Toby had promised him, but now it looked as if the kid's never ending bad luck had just dealt the boy yet another foul hand.

Tracing the mark Alcor was able to locate the tear that Toby must have fallen through to reach the other dimension. Sighing deeply the demon took the plunge, tearing open the rift to follow after his foolish charge.
