Chapter 9

What's left behind can be returned…

"I can't believe these two kids! After I just told them to let the FBI handle this, they still went and tried solving this problem themselves. Once I get Mabel and Dipper back home, they are both going back to their mother's. I don't care if she doesn't have custody of them, it's better than having them live here." Stan said to himself as he repaired his car once he got back to the shack and now is driving to Gideon's house to get Mabel…

Meanwhile at Gideon's house…

Mabel made Gideon bring outside his father's records of what happened five years ago. These same records were the same as the ones at Pacifica's library but Mabel didn't know…

"Why is my Grunkle Stan involved!? Mabel demanded after reading the whole thing.

"I-I don't know." Gideon said nervously trying his best not to anger her any more than he already did.

"I can't believe this is connected to my family…I got to find Dipper and show him this." Mabel said as she began to walk away.

"Wait! That's mine, you can't just take that and-" Gideon shouted until he saw Mabel's glare and decided to shut up and let her have it.

Mabel walked towards the Northwest manor but for some reason the highway was getting really foggy…

"Where did this fog come from? It's kind of creepy…" Mabel said as she picked up her pace a little.

Suddenly she saw Stan's car drive up and he got out quickly.

"MABEL!" Stan shouted.

"Grunkle Stan, what's wrong?" Mabel said then suddenly…

The fog swirled around Mabel faster and faster and she was so afraid. She didn't know what was happening as she cried out Stan's name but before Stan could reach her the fog swallowed her up and took her away out of thin air.

"MABEL! NOO!" Stan shouted as he fell to his knees.

"H-how could I let this happened…" Stan defeated and brokenly said as tears fell down his face.

"GIVE HER BACK DAMN IT!" Stan shouted in the air as anger and desperation took hold but nothing answered…

After five minutes of crying his eyes out he suddenly thought of Dipper.

"I have to save him before it's too late!" Stan said as he quickly got in his car and sped towards the Northwest manor in hopes that his great nephew was still here and not missing like Mabel.

Back at the Northwest manor…

Dipper and Pacifica sat in Pacifica's room waiting for Stan to pick Dipper up once he got Mabel. Both Dipper and Pacifica knew that this was probably going to be the last time either of them were going to see each other. Both really didn't say much as they both just sat on the bed holding each other's hands tightly. Tears were watering up Pacifica's eyes and Dipper was enraged at Stan's decision but was powerless to stop it.

"I can't believe this is happening…" Pacifica said softly and sadly.

"I know…Nothing good came from me and Mabel coming to this town. We both found great people to be around but now we are going to be taken away from that." Dipper said as his face was now tearing up.

"…At least we got to know each other…even if it was brief." Pacifica said depressingly.

"Pacifica…there is something I never really told you before and now I regret not telling you sooner." Dipper said.

"What?" Pacifica asked as both looked at each other with sad eyes knowing this would be the last time each other would see the other's eyes…

"I love you." Dipper said.

"I-I…I love you too." Pacifica said as she was now full blown crying as she buried her face in Dipper's chest not wanting him to leave now…

Dipper held Pacifica as tear continued down from both of their faces…However, their time like this was brief as the head butler knocked on Pacifica's door.

"Pardon me my lady but Mr. Pines has returned." The butler said.

Pacifica heard him but didn't move as she didn't want Dipper to leave her side.

"Please miss…It's time." The butler said knowing the situation and how she was feeling right now.

With depressed defeat both Dipper and Pacifica walked to the stairs that lead to the front door of the mansion.

"DIPPER! WE HAVE TO GO NOW!" Stan shouted in desperation.

"I'm coming Stan, calm down." Dipper responded with irritation.

"I need you back to your mother's before you're next!" Stan said with complete fear.

"What do you mean before I'm next?" Dipper asked now at the front door as he looked at Stan's car but didn't see Mabel in it…

"Grunkle Stan…Where is Mabel?..." Dipper asked but Stan was quiet as he grabbed Dipper's hand and tried walking him to the car but Dipper ripped away.

"NO! Tell me where Mabel is! NOW!" Dipper demanded until he saw Stan's eyes tearing up with guilt and Dipper realized what happened.

"K-kid I'm sorry but-" Stan said until Dipper punched Stan as hard as he could and knocked him down to the ground.

"Dipper!" Pacifica said with shock.

"HOW COULD YOU, YOU BASTARD!? THAT WAS MY SISTER!" Dipper shouted looking down at Stan with enraged teary eyes.

"Dipper please I-" Stan said.

"I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN APOLOGIES! I WANT MABEL BACK!" Dipper shouted while shaking his great uncle by the collar.

"Dipper please!" Pacifica pleaded from behind Dipper.

"If you won't save her…I will." Dipper said as he shoved Stan to the ground and ran off.

"Dipper!" Pacifica shouted as she chased after him.

Dipper ran all the way to the Mystery Shack and Pacifica followed.

"Dipper what are you doing?" Pacifica asked as she saw him searching frantically through all Stan's files and records for something that would help return Mabel.

"I'm trying to find what exactly his brother and Stan unleashed and where to find it." Dipper said as he was throwing papers around.

"…Let me help you." Pacifica said as she helped Dipper search.

After hours of searching Dipper was getting impatient and irritated.

"UGH! Why can't we find anything!?" Dipper shouted in aggravation.

"…Third drawer from the back." Stan said from the door way which startled Dipper and Pacifica for a moment.

"Kid listen to me… I know what you are going through but believe me when I say I have already tried what you are about to do." Stan said while Dipper was going through the filing cabinet not caring what Stan was saying.

Once Dipper found the file and read it quickly and he took it with him and started to walk out. But Stan stopped him.

"Please Dipper…I don't want to lose you too." Stan said softly as tears rolled down his eyes again.

"…Like it or not Stan I'm going. It's because of you all this was and still is happening." Dipper said in anger towards Stan.

"I know…If you are still hell-bent on still going at least let me take you there. If you let me do this for you, I'll let you stay as long as you want." Stan offered.

Dipper thought about it for a moment but decided to accept Stan's offer but only on the condition if Pacifica came along as well…

The three drove in Stan's car for an hour towards the spot where the woods led towards the shrine. Stan stopped the car on the side of the highway and pointed in the direction of the woods where the shrine was hidden.

"Let's go." Dipper coldly said as he got out and Stan and Pacifica followed.

Dipper pushed the brush of the woods roughly as he cleared the way. Pacifica was starting to worry about Dipper while she was seeing his emotion take hold of his actions. She knew Dipper was upset that his sister was the latest victim and understood his distress but she also knew he needed to calm down and think at least some of this through before charging head first into something he knew nothing about.

"We are nearly there." Stan said from behind.

After a few more minutes of going through the woods, they finally found the shrine and it was covered in vines and weeds…

As Dipper approached the shrine he saw ancient writing on its pedestal. He then pulled out the file he took earlier from Stan's office and opened it up. Inside the file was a translation of the language Dipper was seeing on the shrine. It read: "The blood of the ones who awaken my slumber will be the key of my rest."

"What does this mean?" Dipper asked.

"My brother and I opened the shrine to find its secrets but never believed that the warning it gave was true. This…thing awoken from the shrine 5 years ago and started taken people from your classroom. My brother and I didn't know how or why your class was related but whoever was attending that class were going missing one after the other. My brother and I spent many long days and even longer nights trying to fix this problem until he knew what had to be done…" Stan said.

"So you're telling me…that he gave his life for this…thing?" Dipper asked.

"Yes…Our bloodline is the key to stopping this thing…However, it's pointless. My brother let that fog take him and it stopped taking people from your class and it even gave them back…However, they weren't the same once they returned…" Stan explained.

"What do you mean?" Pacifica asked.

"The town thought of me as a hero for finding those kids that came back from my brother's sacrifice but the kids were…different." Stan said.

"Different how?" Dipper asked now giving his full attention.

"…They weren't sane anymore…just shells of their former selves. It was unbelievable how none of them recovered and to this day they live in the asylum in Gravity falls." Stan said.

"My God…" Pacifica gasped.

"So you're telling me…even if we try to save Mabel and the others…They wouldn't be themselves anymore?..." Dipper asked even though he didn't want to.

"That's what I was trying to tell you before Dipper… Even if you make the same sacrifice like my brother did…It would all be in vain." Stan explained but Dipper tensed up.

"Even so…WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!" Dipper shouted with desperation.

"Believe me kid…I want to do something too…anything really, just to get Mabel back. The FBI have some promising leads but nothing conclusive yet." Stan said.

"How do you and the FBI know each other so well that they divulge information on their plans to you?" Pacifica asked.

"Well for starters…I used to work with them in my younger years…Along with my brother. However, since the incident 5 years ago. The FBI knew my family was connected to this thing somehow and were looking for a way to stop this thing once and for all. They knew my brother gave his life for this thing to stop and they want me to do it again …" Stan explained.

"…I need to talk with them." Dipper said.

"About what?" Pacifica asked.

"To plan out how to really stop this and get everyone back." Dipper said with confidence in his voice as he was determined to not only save his sister and his friends…but to stop the fog from making people go missing once and for all…

TO BE CONTINUED…
