Hey FanFiction universe! CosmoFan47 here, with my new Gravity Falls FanFic. Right after the events of "Gideon Rises," Gideon escapes from prison with the help of Bill Cipher, Grunkle Stan continues working on his mysterious portal, and Dipper and Mabel have some peculiar dreams. What could it all mean? Let's find out, starting off with what happens after the Season 1 finale…

Chapter 1: Members of the Secret Society

"Here we go," Stanford "Grunkle Stan" Pines announced, thrilled that the portal was finally working. He gazed in awe for a moment, then went over to his desk. Stan picked up an old rotary telephone and dialed a number.

"It's working," Stan said. There was no need to say just what was working. The members of The Royal Order of the Holy Mackerel all knew what Stan meant. The portal represented everything they had worked for, ever since- Stan didn't like to think about those old days. He hung up the phone before he could start crying.

A few minutes later, the elevator dinged, and two men walked out. Stan turned and smiled at the two. Together, these three men where the last remaining members of The Royal Order of the Holy Mackerel. Well, two a half of them, anyway. One of the members didn't fully count, for he wasn't an entire man. That half member had no soul.

Stan smiled at his fellow members. "Gentlemen, the portal is finally complete. Soon, we will rescue our dearest friend and defeat that horrifying dream demon once and for all."

"That would be great, Grunkle Stan," said the Order's member Soos. "I'd do anything to help this town."

"By gummady!" cried the Order's half member Old Man McGucket. "I can't wait to get my soul back."

Grunkle Stan smiled at his two dearest, and possibly only, friends. "All right, men. Let's go rescue my brother."
