Things were going normal in Gravity Falls with nothing big happening. That was till a portal suddenly appeared in front of the Mystery Shack. Which for what’s been happening around Gravity Falls is pretty much normal.
"Well we're here back on Earth," Eda said to Luz as she dusted herself off.
"Yeah but the doorway is now a portal," King pointed out to the blue vortex that hanging in the air that they just came out of.
"It was either that or Luz here be trap on the Boiling Isles," Eda said.
"I'll better call my parents," Luz said using her phone to call them.
"Hey Luz, is this normal?" Eda asks pointing at the many non humans around them standing with the humans.
"Humans and non humans together yeah this isn't normal. Did you open the wrong doorway?" Luz ask.
"I...," Eda said as she tried to use her magic but couldn't. She tried harder and it finally worked with a magical map appearing in front of Eda. "Funny my magic is harder to use here."
"That's because of the merge happening and all but a few types of spell casting magic works here now," Twilight said stepping out from the crowd.
"Cool, talking unicorn," Luz said.
"Name's Twilight and let me guess you 3 came from another world and you the human have been struck there for a year," Twilight said.
"Right on the money," King said.
"No magic?" Eda ask.
"Wow I missed out alot while I was away," Luz said.
"Well spell casting magic anyways on the most part is gone. Many magical beings who are only alive because of a spell was used on them or something like that either found themselves powerless or just disappeared along with magic. The only magic that works now is passive magic that you don't need to cast to use like the pony heads who are just floating pony heads are still able to float around because their magic is passive. Or mermaids who can transform from mermaids to human. There is borrowed magic where the magic source doesn't come from the user but someone else letting them use magic. There are some who have magical like powers but it’s not magic in nature," Twilight explains.
"Well magic users like Eda in her world have an organ, a sac of magic bile attached to their hearts," Luz said.
"That would do it," Twilight said thinking about it. “The sac must act like a fuel source that fuels their… how do you cast spells?”
“They make a glowing circle in the air and create a glyph in it,” Luz said.
“So no chanting or drawing power from something else?” Twilight ask.
“I check,” Luz said pulling out one of her light spell glyphs and hitting it, which did nothing. “Nope doesn’t work.”
"Well it does seem that I need to put more energy in spell casting while here," Eda said.
"Ok, what's going on here?" Stan ask exiting the shack and stops as he spots Eda. "Eda?"
"Stan?" Eda ask just as surprise seeing him again.
"You two know each other?" Luz ask.
"She's my wife," Stan said.
"WHAT?" Twilight asked.
"BAAAA," the goat that hangs around the shack said.
"Till she ran away with all of my winnings and my car," Stan said with a wishful sigh.
"That's Eda," Said Luz and King together.
Dipper approaches her. "Hey... Eda? You married Stan and just left him?”
“Why did you do that?” Luz asked.
“I do have the curse kid and I like Stan too much to wake up after eating him,” Eda explains.
“And you stole his money and car while doing so,” Dipper said. “You and Stan are a prefect match for each other.”
“Yeah that’s why I married him before I really thought about it,” Eda chuckles. “So what’s your name kid.”
"Dipper Pines," he answers.
"Pines?" Eda ask then looks at Stan.
"My younger brother's grandson," Stan explains. "So you're a witch?"
"That right Stan, I'm a witch from the demon realm of the Boiling Isles," Eda said.
"So that's why you look the same since I last saw you years ago. Same wild bright orange hair, that gold fang that stick out," Stan said.
"Oooh, you know how to woo an old... wait orange hair?" Eda ask blinking. She reach back and pulls her hair in front of her and saw her hair has return to it's old color before she was cursed.
"Hey your hair is back to normal," King said.
"How are you doing that?" Luz ask.
"The curse is broken," Eda said.
"You were under a curse? Well since the merge the curses that have been cast on people and objects has been despelled," Twilight explains.
"Let me check something," Eda said as she jump back through the portal and then came back. "Well it looks like the curse I'm under only works while in the demon realm."
"So what does that mean?" Luz ask.
"Well seeing how my sister is now after me for what I did to get the portal working and the curse doesn't effect me on Earth. Not to mention that thanks to this merge thing happening I don't have to hide that, I'm a witch. Looks like we're moving here," Eda said.
"What!" King, and Stan shouted.
"Cool!" Luz shouted out.
“Yeah I have a graunt now!” Mabel shouted out.
“Your sister?” Eda asked Dipper.
“Yes,” Dipper said.
“And graunt?” Eda asks.
“Short for great aunt,” Dipper said.
!
Later -
Eda came out of the portal leading to the demon world holding her home underneath her arm. She place her home on the ground near the shack and used the enlarging flashlight on it returning the house to it's full size. King came out of the portal shortly as he came with a bag of stuff that he's been hiding outside of the house.
"There now we're set," Eda said.
"It was strange being so small," Hooty said who is the living owl head on the front door.
"Now this thing is a game changer," Eda said looking at the flashlight.
"Yes but please don't use it too often. I don't want people to know I have it," Dipper said coming out with Wendy, Pacifica and Twilight.
"So your house is all magical?" Twilight ask.
"Just Hooty," Eda said.
"And it's full of cool stuff... and junk," Luz said coming out to join them outside with Mabel.
"What you mean junk?" Dipper ask as he looks inside through a window and see's alot of junk. "Eda you can't live like this in this world."
"Why not?" Eda ask.
"Health hazard and its a breeding ground for bugs and rats," Pacifica said.
"Forget it Eda hordes all the junk she finds in the hopes of someone wanting to buy it," King said.
"So there aren't any junkyards or recyclers to make new things out of it or just selling what you don't need to a junk dealer?" Dipper ask.
"Sell junk?" Eda ask.
"Don't you have like a place where you sell old stuff to people like scrap metal to someone who works with metal?" Wendy ask.
"No...," Eda said.
"Well you can make good money from collecting like plastic, cans, and glass. I did that at school to make money," Dipper said.
"Really?" Pacifica ask.
"Yeah, and I manage to make about 30 bucks a week," Dipper said.
"Really now," Eda said wondering how much she could make. "Well Dipper how about you help your aunt in learning how to make trash into money." (1)
!
Gravity Falls Junkyard -
"Plant clippings, banana peel, paper waste, a pile of fish offal, empty can of dog food," Luz said as she and King are emptying out Eda's trash from the back of Soos's truck. Pacifica already left to go back home, leaving the others to help Eda get rid of some junk.
They're emptying out the trash and putting it into a bin where it would be poured into the industrialized size recycler that has been installed into the warehouse that been built in the junkyard. Larger pieces of trash would be broken into smaller pieces if they couldn’t fit the slot.
Since the recycler machines been appearing all over the place. The dumps and junkyards have been transformed with the trash collected being dump into the industrialized size recyclers that breaks all the trash down into material cubes. Which are then sold to factories where industrial fabricators which are essentially large 3-D printers that produce usable items from the raw materials. Many of the landfills are being dug up for the trash underneath to make more material cubes.
"Burnt circuit boards, corroded coil, frayed wire, fried hard drive, and used plastic tubing," Dipper adds.
“Biohazardous and medical waste, expired plasma bags, a petri dish and test tubes,” Twilight said lifting out all the gross stuff Eda had collected.
“A lemon peel, apple cores, old fruit, broken wood, a jar of rusty nails,” Mabel said sorting through her own pile.
“And an old baseball glove with a name on it. Which is a keeper as it could be a collector item,” Wendy said putting the glove someplace safe.
"Oh yeah that can be a real collector's item," Soos said.
“So, trash is now recycled all the time?” Luz ask Dipper.
“Yup since these recycler machines started to be made, trash is now broken down to be reuse,” Dipper said.
"And that strange fellow pays us money for it?" Eda ask pointing to Old Man McGucket who is doing something as he brings in parts into his shack.
"Well Junkman is the one who pays us," Dipper said pointing to the protectron that actually runs the junkyard.
"Then what's with the old man?" Eda ask.
"He was already living here," Wendy said.
"So, what do they do with this stuff?" Eda ask watching the robot name Junkman dumping a bin full of her trash into the slot where trash is poured into the recycler. The machine hum as the trash was broken down and sorted into mineral, synthetic, and organic cubes from the other end.
"The mineral and synthetic cubes are sold to factories and people who buy them to be used in a fabrication machine. That makes just about anything as long as the design is program into it. The organic cubes are also sold to factories that need them, but mostly they're used in making blaze which is a bio-fuel. Or simply used as fuel like the new bioreactor that chemically composts organic matter into energy," Dipper explains.
"So now they recycle everything?" Luz ask.
"Just about everything," Twilight said. "They even recycle the waste from the water treatment planet and the sewage treatment plant. Seeing how the recycler doesn't get the water or liquids that's inside some of the items being recycled."
"Where does it go?" Luz ask.
"Glad you ask," Twilight said showing Luz the pipe that drains the water the builds up in the machine into the sewers. "There are specially design recyclers that are made to clean up all the waste from like a chemical plant before it's empties out into like a river or the sea. The plants also make some money on the side thanks to all the materials that are produced from their waste."
"Hey what's with the purple cube?" King ask spotting the purple cube that came out.
"Cool an exotic material," Mabel said.
"Exotic?" Eda ask.
"Every now and then a purple cube comes out when a magical item is put into the machine or when something that is made of magic, or just has lots of magic on it is recycle," Twilight explains.
"Like the shavings from Twilight horn and hoof shavings, hair or feathers from a pegasus," Soos said.
"Shavings?" Luz ask.
"My horn grows like your finger nails, I need to smooth it out and trim it now and then. The same goes for my hooves," Twilight explains.
"So where did the exotic cube came from?" Eda ask.
"The bin that was put in was full of used tissue paper from when you had that cold," King said.
"So do the exotic cubes sell more?" Eda ask.
"Yes, the exotic cubes sell more because of how rare they are and how much it takes to just make a cube. It takes lots of hair, feathers and horn shavings to make a single cube. The last time I recycle my horn and hoof clippings and my hair. I only made a ball which happens when there isn't enough to make a cube," Twilight said.
"So how much?" Eda ask.
"A cube sells for 50 each," Twilight said.
"So, what are they use for?" King ask.
"Mostly they're used for making spell drives and used in magical research. Then there are people who just buy them to have them. And some former magic users buy them thinking that it can restore their spell casting magic, which no it doesn't," Twilight explains.
"But it doesn't stop people from trying," Dipper adds looking at Mabel.
“I wanted to be a magical girl,” Mabel said.
"Yeah, these purple cube sell big," Soos said.
"Which I'm betting will be a big hit back in the demon realm," Eda said grabbing the purple cube.
“So, you’re going to be staying here?” Dipper ask.
“Well, the curse doesn’t work on me while here and wait... did I close the portal before we left?” Eda ask.
“Oh well the portal isn’t like in town where anyone can just walk on through to Earth,” Luz said.
“Oh ho,” King and Eda said.
!
Mystery Shack -
The many demon races that made up the Boiling Isles were busy at the market when someone found a portal that someone left open. Soon demons gather around the portal wondering where it leads to. Till one demon went through and came back saying that it leads to a place where there are people like them and humans. Which got demons to go through to see for themselves. Which is what Eda and the gang found when they got back to the shack with a crowd of demons from the Demon Realm mingling with the people of the human world both human and non human.
“Well, this shows me for leaving a portal open at the market,” Eda said.
"Didn't you just went and got your house?" Wendy ask.
"Made a few stops before coming back," Eda admitted.
“At least it looks like Stan is making a killing,” Dipper said seeing some demons with Mystery Shack brand items they brought. The Mr Handy was left in charge of running the shack while they help Eda cleaning her house and Stan was doing something else.
“Hey gang!” Luz shouted running to some kids from the magic school she’s been going to.
“Luz?” Willow ask seeing her human friend here. She’s with Amity, Edric and Emira, who all wondered into the portal seeing stuff that those who went in came back with. And wanting to see what’s there. Especially after Gus came back with a bag of strange candy and a jar of something called void mayonnaise which is selling fast.
What are you all doing here?” Luz ask.
“Gus told us about how the portal took him to this shop that sells strange candy and gave us something called m and m’s. Now we want to get some ourselves,” Edric said.
“And he gave us a taste of that jar of void mayonnaise and it’s great,” Willow adds.
“Is this the human world?” Emira ask looking around at all the humans as well as some other races she never seen before.
“Yup,” Luz said.
“But why are there so many... non humans around here?” Amity’s ask.
"Remember the strange surge of energy that happen last year, well it turns out that a whole bunch of other worlds and pieces of others all came merging together. Which resulted in this new world where humans and non human races are all living together. Also spell casting magic doesn’t work here anymore,” Luz said.
“Really?” Willow ask as she tried to use her magic and found it hard. The Blight children also tried and found it hard for them to use it themselves.
“Someone use a spell to destroy the magic of their world and thanks to the merge happening it spread out. Now the only magic that works is passive magic that you don’t need to cast to use, borrowed magic which comes from a source of magic, and others. Like how you all have a sack of attach to your hearts that allows you all to use magic in the first place,” Luz said.
“Hey isn’t that Eda?” Amity ask seeing Eda walking pass them but having orange hair.
“Yup,” Luz said.
“And here are the guards and her sister Lilith,” Willow pointed to the group that has the Owl House surrounded.
"For the last time let us in," Lilith said who has been trying to get into her sister's home for awhile now. She was contacted by the guards when they found the portal to the human world and discovered that her sister Eda's home was there.
"No," Hooty said.
"Then we do this the hard way," Lilith said as she summons her magic to blast her way in. Which for some reason her magic is much harder to summon then in the Demon Realm.
"Hold it Lilly," Eda said behind her sister.
"Eda... what happen?" Lilith ask seeing that her sister isn't curse anymore thanks to her having her old hair color back.
"It seems that while in the human world the curse doesn't work anymore," Eda said.
"I'm taking you in. Especially for what you did," Lilith said pointing her staff at Eda.
"What? It was the only way to open a portal to the human world," Eda said pointing her own staff at her sister.
"Eda what's going on?" Stan ask walking up to Eda.
"Meet my sister Lilith," Eda answers.
"Eda who is that?" Lilith ask looking at Stan.
"Meet my human husband Stan Pines," Eda replies.
"What?" Lilith gasp.
"Who went and stole all of my winnings and car on the day we got married and just showed up yesterday after years away," Stan adds.
"That sounds like you," Lilith said eyeing Eda.
"What can I say... now where were we," Eda said as she powers up her staff as does Lilith. "I'm uncurse and ready to go at it like we use to."
"Hold it Eda you and your sister can't just go around blasting each other. You'll end up blasting people in the crowd," Dipper spoke up.
"Now Dipper just let me have fun with your aunt Lilly," Eda said.
"Aunt?" Lilith ask.
"My brother's grandson," Stan said.
"Besides this is the human world. I'm guessing you're in law enforcement in the Demon Realm and on Earth you don't have jurisdiction," Dipper adds.
"You know Dipper you're right she doesn't and if she or the guards go and try anything the law enforcement around here will handle them," Eda said putting her staff down.
"She's right you know," Discord said appearing above the crowd with an eyebot following him.
"Discord what are you doing here?" Twilight ask.
"Checking out who left a portal to the Demon Realm open," Discord answers.
"A real live draconequus? But there aren't any left," Lilith said in shock seeing a legend in front of her.
"Oh your people know of my kind?" Discord ask.
"Yes but.... you're all suppose to be dead," Lilith said.
“I only seen pictures of your kind in history books,” Eda said.
"Wait there are more of your kind around?" Twilight ask surprise as well.
"Yes there are but we don't really like being around each other besides when we get together for like a party or to find a mate. So we just spread ourselves out in other realms so we don't bump into each other," Discord explains.
"That explains why we never seen more then just one at anytime," Eda said.
"Yes, and now seeing how this is another world appearing with no relationship with this world. You are the highest representative of the country you’re from the Demon Realm,” Discord said to Lilith. “You should be aware how bad it will be in taking someone who is a citizen of this country we’re in, be like someone being taken from your country.”
“You’re speaking for the leader?” Lilith ask her mind racing to figure out what is the best thing to do.
“Not my thing,” Discord said as he eyes the eyebot that’s been following him.
In a flash Sunset appeared in the air in a new outfit for her wings. No dresses or skirts just pants or shorts as she doesn’t want anyone looking up while she’s in the air. She lands in front of Lilith.
“I’m princess Sunset of the Equestria kingdom. And I’ll be handling talks between our two worlds till the higher ups get someone,” Sunset said.
“You mean the king or queen?” Lilith ask.
“Nope president and we got lots to talk about,” Sunset said.
A pillar of fire appeared and disappeared leaving behind a demon in a suit.
“So, this is the portal?” Hudson Abedeer ask pointing to the portal.
“Yes, can you contain it?” Sunset ask having called up the demon lord for some help.
“Sure,” Abedeer said as he snaps his fingers and a big double door gateway made out of wood appeared containing the portal. “There it’s contain and all you have to do is carry the gateway to wherever you want it.”
“You can summon a hell lord?” Lilith ask as she and the others of the Demon Realm all stare at an all powerful demon who is so powerful he rules his own realm in the underworld.
“How is it possible? I heard of Abedeer and he's one of the most powerful demons in any realm. You have to be to be able to rule a entire realm,” Eda ask.
"I sometimes join him and his other friends for game night," Sunset explains.
"You join a demon lord for game night?" Lilith ask.
"Yes," Sunset said causing all the people from the demon realm to blink. All wondering how powerful the winged woman is for her to be invited to a game night with a demon lord.
"Hey Abedeer!" King said walking up to the demon lord.
"King is that you?" Abedeer ask looking down at King.
"Yeah, I got transformed into this. Can you change me back to my former glory?" King ask.
"Wait right there," Abedeer said as he disappears and reappears with a bunch of his fellow demons.
Who all laugh and point at King, with some of the female demons going crazy how cute he is now. One of the female demons with long black hair and wearing a many layered kimono picks him up and hugs him. The other female demons crowded around the pair, while the male demons laugh louder seeing King being treated like a cute pet.
"Put me down Lei Ling!" King yells at the one who is hugging him.
"No, you're too cute like this," Lei Ling said.
"Is this normal?" Eda ask Stan watching as King was laugh at and being adored for being cute.
“You have no idea what has happen around here,” Stan said.

Elsewhere -
The faceless man with the floating head appeared in a room filled with file cabinets and bookcases filled with files and paper. There are also several computers and data storage machines from the old micro films to microchips. There are several old analog computers and digital computers all coming from different worlds of many different levels of technology. His old friend like him has changed from what they use to be, with his friend now an information broker who has ears just about everywhere.
"Terrible Trivium what can I do for you?" The Sensers Taker ask who is buried in papers and ink.
"I see you're still copying all the information you have taken on paper," Terrible Trivium said.
"Of course, I am. The ones I have taken from can do their best in spreading a virus or computer whatever to destroy what I have taken. But there is no way for them to destroy the papers I have written down. Unlike you they don't know where I am," The Sensers Taker said.
"Do you have what I need?" Terrible Trivium ask not even bothering to tell his old friend what he needs.
"Bookcase 4712 on the 3rd self," The Sensers Taker said.
"My payment is here," Terrible Trivium said leaving a box on a pile of papers.
!
Canterlot -
Sunset sighed it had been a ROUGH day. The talks between the representatives of emperor Bellows went well with trade deals made between the two realms. The portal couldn't be move out of Gravity Falls so the portal has been relocated to a site on the boarder of the magic zone of Gravity Falls. A airport like building is being built where people on either side have to check in to be able to visit, just like what happens at an airport. Just like what they do for the Ghost Zone.
As for Eda with her being married to Stan making her a citizen of the Untied States. After talks Eda is now banish from the demon realm and with the only way for her to return is by joining a coven like all the other magic users. Speaking of which ponies and other magic users hearing about how they would be able to use magic in the demon realm. Came to see what it's like on the other side, and the ponies came running back once they saw what kind of world the demon realm is, with only some of the magic users wanting to stay and use magic again. They did have to join a coven among other things but only if they live and work there. Now companies and trade deals are being made as money and resources that could only be found on either side is now on the table.
The demon realm isn't the only new realm that the United States has ties to now. Sequin Land is also another world that they have ties with now. Of course that was after the court case dealing with Star Butterfly that is. Shantae not being completely satisfied with Jenny's response at the pool did her own investigation. And learned that while Moon WAS in prison, she learned that there were two other people responsible for the Merge in that world... Mina and Star.
The destruction of magic had hit the closed off genie realm of that world. Sending all the now powerless genies to Sequin Land. Many came to live with their children who are happy having their moms back. But without full blooded genies giving birth to half genies who serve as guardians, caused things to change. As the towns and cities now only had their local half genies to guard them from danger now and no new ones would be born. Seeing how the ones who are born while being half genies, don’t have magic. Which meant the last generation of magical half genies guardians born before the lost of magic would be the last.
The court case ended up with Star while being the one who destroyed magic, wasn’t responsible. Her mother Moon and Mina had forced her hands and no one else was going to stop it before the monsters would had been slaughtered. Shantae is grateful to Star for giving her back her mother to her.
Escorted by her new bodyguards Cissnei, and Elena, Sunset walks out of her office. As she does she looks over a message from Raz, whatever misfortune seemed to have been keeping the Psychonauts down seemed to be over. They were getting loads of high-paying jobs and a lot of sponsorship and advertising.
“Princess Sunset?” Mayor Mare ask who has been waiting all day for her appointment with Sunset.
“Oh yes I did had a meeting with you today,” Sunset said.
“Yes and the ponies of Ponyvile....,” Mayor Mare began saying but was stop as she was cut off.
“And I already told you that my decision stands. Seeing how you wouldn’t had done anything I had my guards round up the ponies responsible and handed them over to the human court system,” Sunset said.
“Please Princess if I could handle the matters I can give the ponies responsible their punishment,” Mayor Mare pleaded.
“I gave you a month and nothing, I know I had your office check and they found nothing of anything going to tracking down the ponies responsible for the destruction of the new homes being built. It was a good thing I had my own people looking into who started the fires, which they found in only a couple of days. I waited a month just so that all the proof of guilt was dug up before the ponies were all rounded up. Now the ponies are in the human court system seeing how you are unwilling to do anything just because human homes are being built in Ponyvile,” Sunset said.
“Princess please the ponies are just scared,” Mayor Mare said.
“And I don’t care as none of you have any choice in the matter. I’m the only thing holding Equestria as a kingdom together if you think things are bad try living outside of Equestria. Yes, I strip you ponies of many things but that was to make all races equal in my kingdom. Not just ponies having all the rights,” Sunset said.
“The ponies in Ponyvile are in a uproar over the arrests and that there are now those securitrons patrolling the town,” Mayor Mare said.
“Seeing how many towns have no law enforcement and seeing how you had no intention of pressing charges against the ponies who destroyed my building project. I'm making sure that my building projects are all being kept safe. Seeing how much money I have spent in modernizing Equestria and how little you ponies have done, I'm more then willing to force you all off of my lands and give them to races that actually will do something other then being scared of everything that's new and wanting things to be like they use to be,” Sunset said.
“What?” Mayor Mare ask shaken.
“The land that Ponyvile is on is still own by the crown. Mom never did sign the papers to give away the land so all of Ponyvile is own by me. Just like how she never gave the land to the Apples. In fact all the lands that ponies have built their homes on are all still on paper is owned by the crown. And seeing how racist you ponies are becoming in wanting no other races living next to you. I been thinking of just forcing all of you by gunpoint to all live in one place and giving the empty towns to other races. And leaving all of you ponies to fend for yourselves as you all think that you don't need anybody but ponies. So I'm going to let you all try without any support but yourselves," Sunset explains.
"How much is still owned by the crown?" Mayor Mare ask fearful.
"Just about everything, not counting the lands that I force ponies off of and give back to the races the ponies took it from in the first place. As for what's left I legally own just about all that's left of Equestria. Which I already made sure that the ownership is now falls to me and not mom, aunt Luna or Cadance, just me. So either do your job or I’ll just have all of you evicted from my land,” Sunset said.
“Yes princess,” Mayor Mare said leaving shaken.
"You’re really turning into a boss," Cissnei said.
"Showing no mercy at all," Elena adds.
"I'm tried of dealing with the whinnying ponies," Sunset said.
Sunset goes into the record room as her parents told her they'd met her there. But once she got there she only found the penguins. Confused, they explain how her parents had been helping them organize... when all of a sudden, they got BEYOND furious called her sisters together and they all went charging out of the castle.
Private hands the file they'd been looking at. Sunset looks it over... goes very pale and summons the guards, penguins, robots and the ancient elephant to go after them.

The Maw -
Kuroko Smith sighed as she finished the paperwork, things were so much more simple back on her world. But when the UN saw how much more successful her world had been in getting monsters integrated with human society and bringing peaceful co-existence between human and monsters. So where many pre-merge organizations were disbanded. The Cultural Exchange Security Squad by contrast was given global authority over all things concerning human/monster relationships... and sweet mercy was she exhausted.
Her world already had alot of specialized technologies and societal institutions for the different races to come together. And after the merge happen her organization was able to deal with the problems that happen in Japan, on the most part anyways. All the magical girls who were now had no magic wasn't her department problem. She and her team were so busy in the first year of the merge keeping things in order. She didn't really even have time to mess around with Kimihito anymore! That was her favorite past time.
In any case she'd finally gotten the paperwork done to bring in her 'Monster Ops: Neutralization(or M.O.N. for short.) team' to work here at the states. Kimhito had done well adjusting here in this new world... his 'girls' on the other hand... she kept explaining to them how their 'sexy antic's' might have been 'okay' back in their rather hentai world... but here it was just awkward. She and her team needed a break from all the crazy that's happening in Japan, and not just from all the different monsters and non humans that had appeared.
Her team of the Commando, Zombina, (Living Dead or zombie). Sniper, Manako, (Monoeye/cyclopse). Infiltrator, Doppel, (Shapeshifter). Body Guard, Tionishia, (Ogre). All are still getting use to how things are done in the United States. They're mostly here to help with the ponies in integrating themselves in their new world. Not to mention in handing all the different races that have taken up living in the Maw, ruled by the vampire queen.
Marceline is a big headache for the Cultural Exchange Security Squad. She's a half demon whose father is a powerful demon lord, who is nice while sucking out your soul. Who also became the last vampire of her world after she killed off all the other vampires. And once the merge happen, she went off for a world tour where she hunted and killed off all the vampires that hunted and killed humans. Defeating and sucking their souls along with many vampire lords and such, making her stronger and more powerful with each defeat. And then there's what happen at Summerween and her gaining the familiar The World with the power to stop time and on live tv where she killed the vampire who had it.
No one knows how to deal with Marceline, is she just another vampire or is she to be treated as royalty seeing how she's the queen of all vampires with none trying to claim otherwise, or as a demon princess seeing how her father is a demon lord. Not to mention how she's the leader of the Maw. No one knows where to put her in how to deal with her.
Speaking of which the Maw is still a maze of hallways and rooms that no one really knows its entire layout. Even with the new security force that now polices the Maw, there are still sectors that having been explored yet. With the only operators, eyebots and Mr. Handies operating in the less populated areas of the Maw. Mainly to repair and maintain the entire structure and all the inner workings to keep the power and water flowing. Even with the Maw being connected to the power grid and water system of the area, Marceline still kept the old engines that are fueled by coal. Saying it's good to have a backup power supply, not to mention it looks wicked as a backdrop in her music videos.
There are also the Nomes that while some have taken in living outside, there are plenty left still living inside the Maw. Which no one really knows what to do with. Simon and Betty have been trying to help them but made no progress in changing them back to normal.
"Hey boss we're back," said Zombina as she lead Manako, Doppel, and Tionishia.
"So how did it go?" Kuroko ask.
"Manako and Tionishia spent more time chasing and hugging the ponies then doing our job," Doppel said.
"Alright you two don't go next time," Kuroko said to the two.
"They were just so cute," Tionishia said.
"And colorful," Manako adds.
"We're supposed to be helping them to get use to this world. Not hug them," Kuroko said.
"Sunset did explain to us about how the ponies are like," Zombina said.
"I just didn't think all of them are such cowards and sissies," Doppel said.
"Sunset did say that the older ponies are a lost cause and to put more effort into the young ones instead," Kuroko said. (2)
“I see what she means,” Doppel said.
“The adults just scream and run around. Or just hide in their houses. The kids on the other hand are the only ones making any progress,” Zombina said.
"And here I thought coming to the states and handling the pony mess would be easier then what's happening back home," Kuroko said before thinking about it. "No forget I said that. This is easier then trying to explain to those girls that they can't just shout pervert and attack men. That Akane Tendo took going through shock therapy to stop her from just attacking anyone who even looks at her wrong. Then there's those two nutcases from the Hina's Inn case that completely refused to face reality and are now in jail."
"It took me pointing a gun to their faces and firing a bullet pass their ears to finally accept the idea that if they harm the owner in front of us I would shoot them dead," Zombina said.
"Which is why we're here. To get away from dealing with that," Kuroko said. (3)
"Now we deal with the crazy of Gravity Falls and trying to get those ponies to accept that in this world they're no longer in control of their world. And also dealing with their princess who is now a human alicorn with magical powers who looks down on the ponies. Who is very money hungry and very cheap as well. The castle is nice but it’s mostly was already there in the first place. All the new stuff she brought in is nothing more then stuff you find in a retail store," Doppel said.
"She does have to pay off all the loans she took out to improve Equestia," Tionishia said.
"And its not like she keeps tons of cash around just laying around. It's all tied up in investments and bonds. She's cash poor," Manako said.
"So she can't afford to buy expensive stuff or take a plane to Paris to shop," Kuroko said.
"She did come from a big family where the money was always tight," Zombina adds.

In Space -
Titan Station (Colloquially known as The Sprawl) was a civilian space station that was built into the last remaining fragment of Titan which was one of Saturn's moons and the site of the first planet crack. Titan Station itself encircled the Shard of Titan as a large metropolis with inner structures such as schools, malls, skyscrapers and a Unitologist church. The population of the station exceeded one million people. That was before the Necromorphs appeared and killed off all the people on the station. Which only ended after the Marker was destroyed, leaving behind a dead station.
"Come on we need to find all the shards!" XJ-9 said as she and her sisters scan the area where the marker use to be located.
After they found the station they learn all about what happen at the station and the alien marker that while a big power source also brings back dead flesh into nercromorphs and how the Unitologist church was behind the outbreak. So unleashing hundreds of operators and other robots built to work in space, they began gathering all the pieces of the marker and putting them into the recycler that broke down the shards. Even with the maker being dead, they're not taking chances with it not making super zombies or drive people crazy.
They're even searching and destroying all records of the Unitologist church. So that no one would come across like a book and start the church here. Seeing how followers believe that becoming a zombie is the right thing to do, they're not taking any chances in some nut restarting the faith. Which is nothing but the maker brainwashing people to want to do what it wants. Which is just creating a giant moon size nercromorph that will devour all life across the galaxy just like the universe where the station came from.
"XJ-9 how is the clean up going?" Dr. Wakeman ask through the com link.
"In a couple of months there be no traces of the nercromorphs, the shards or anything to do with Unitologist," Jenny said.
"What about the USG Ishimura?" Wakeman ask.
"The same as there is no way I'm risking a zombie outbreak on Earth. But at least we brought back all the advance technology," Jenny said.
"The technology is very advance I would had like looking over the shard," Wakeman said.
"And you going crazy or someone else goes and builds one and starts a zombie plague?" Jenny ask.
"True," Wakeman said.
"How is Cassie doing?" Jenny ask.
Awhile ago a ship came to Earth with the crew being made up of Cassie Harrison, her father Derick Harrison and Marion the hamster. Cassie had hired Marion to find her father after pirates attack their ship, which after searching half the universe finally found him. But then the merge happen and all the old space ports they knew about were gone.
They ended up on a planet where a large spaceship had already crash landed on. The ship is name Aurora and one of the survivors of the crash had gathered resources and built a spaceship to escape the planet. Which he did only after going on a adventure where he release young Sea Emperor Leviathans to spread an enzyme that cures the kharaa bacterium that had infected much of the planet.
They also found the old seabase he built using the habitat builder which is a hand held fabricator. As well as the vehicles he also built, the Cyclops a large sub, the Seamoth a one man sub and the Prawn a underwater powersuit. Using the technology that's still in working order they used the Naptune Launch Platform to rebuild their ship, integrating all the technology that Marion had had 'picked' up here and there as well as the technology on the planet. Making the ship far more advance then it ever was before. The Ion Cubes that the ancient alien machine kept on creating after the cubes were harvested are what is powering their ship having created big Ion Power Cells that can just be recharged with solar power. They got to Earth and are now living on Talos 2 as they learned about their new home.
"I'm sure that my sister is taking care of her and her father. And those Cuddlefishes they brought with them," Wakeman said.
"You have no idea and just been studying the technology they brought with them," Jenny said.
"Well.... come back to Earth and leave the other robots to handle the clean up," Wakeman said quickly as she turns off the com.
"Got it," Jenny said contacting her sisters to return to Earth.

Camp Lakebottom -
Thing were going normal at the camp as the campers were setting things up for a camp play. That was till several trees came to life thanks to spirits entering the trees, making them anthropomorphic. This scared the kids who all panic as the stage for the play was setup in a grove surrounded by trees. Mesa the tree woman recognized the trees as Cragglewoods. Tree spirits that used a park with the only ride being a carousel that transform any child who gets on it to become like them. Then the merge happen and the park was burn down but the spirits have been wandering around looking for a new place to recreate the park. (4)
"Wait a second," Ronnie said as she realized something. "If they can only takeover trees then how did they get children to go to the park?"
"They used magic to teleport the children there but now they're here they don't have that magic anymore," Mesa said who is standing with the other adults and the Psychonauts forming a barrier between them and the trees.
"And they only took little kids right?" Ronnie ask.
"Yes," Mesa said wondering what she's talking about.
"Well if they don't have magic and can only control the trees they're using for bodies. Then why are we scared of them?" Ronnie ask making everyone look at her. "They're trees and unlike Mesa they can move from where they're rooted." (5)
"It does explain why they go for young children," Mesa said seeing how the Cragglewood trees couldn't move from the spot they're root at.
"I'll handle this," Six said as she steps up and opens her mouth. The spirits of Cragglewood were pulled out from their tree host and were consumed by Six.
"When could you do that?" Ronnie ask Six.
"Learn it from Marceline's dad when he was seeing Stump with her," Six answers.
"Hey where's Lincoln?" Ronnie ask looking around.
"Here," Lincoln said having fallen into the costume trunk and somehow gotten into a dress.
"Nice dress, suits you. After all your husbands are doing all the fighting," Max said, causing his fellow campers from Camp Campbell to laugh at Lincoln.
"At least he has a girlfriend," Dib said causing other kids to laugh at Max.
Ronnie and Six help Lincoln out of the trunk and the dress, with Six reminding them of her going to see Stump. Which Bill the swim teacher of the camp being the one who will be taking her to Scuttlebutt Island. Lincoln and Ronnie would be going with Six as Stump wanted to do a group thing for Six with those who she's close to. All three went into Lincoln’s cabin not noticing the door is different, the kids step inside and once the door close the door disappeared and replaced with the normal cabin door.

England -
Things were rapidly going downhill in England, since the merge and the witches and wizards tried a blood offering ritual using hundreds of babies, to keep their magic. Not only were non-humans are being rounded up, but anything 'abnormal' was being rounded up as well. If a 'animal' showed any signs of human-like intellect, they were put down. If a toy was shown to be remotely alive-like, it was burnt. If any patch of dirt had bugs that showed the least bit of human-capability, the whole block is fumigated, ever plants were dug up or killed, all the dirt taken away and paved over. And anyone who found these 'abnormalities' were richly rewarded by the recently brought to power Norsefire group... who were wasting no time silencing dissent and rewriting laws to their advantage.
But that's elsewhere, for now let's focus on this 'Finger men' waypoint who were currently paying anyone who brought any abnormality forward and shipping them off to the 'conformity and normalization camps'. The waypoint is a warehouse where the abnormality are kept till they're ship out to the camps. One such 'abnormality' was Paddington bear being forcibly lead forward by a crotchety old woman.
"All right. This one's full," one of the Finger men said having loaded up a paddy wagon to the brim.
Inside the wagon are a number of wizards and witches captured by bounty hunters and people looking to make some money. Other wagons are holding magical animals taken from the witches and wizards homes. It was easy for people to find the wizards and witches thanks to how isolated they are and have no idea how to interact with other people outside of their once magical world. Seeing how backwards they are it was a simple matter of asking them questions like what a PDA is or showing them a smartphone and asking them what it is to figure out that they're magic users.
They're not the only ones being rounded up, as the magical races of their world were also being caught. A number of the goblins that use to run the magic users banks are in chains with the holdings in the vaults taken. Along with the elves who are now being press into service, after their old masters had been taken care of. The living paintings that somehow survive the merging were thrown into bonfires after paying the people bringing them in. Then there are all the ghosts that are being brought in thanks to people equip with ghost hunting equipment. There are also a large number of gnomes that been caught and killed that had infested many gardens since the merge.
In several cages are the surviving members of Redwall home to talking animals. Who learn that while in their world they could fight a entire army and win because of plot armor protecting them, here the humans quickly slaughtered most of them. In another cage are borrowers, a race of small humans that live within the walls of people’s home and are very secretive. Once it was discover that things that go missing are the result of them and how they refuse to explain themselves, cause a panic with most of England’s population of borrowers quickly becoming extinct, with only a few hold outs. As people got the idea that the borrowers are nothing but little thieves and break their things.
Their American counterparts ‘The Littles’ who are small human like race with mouse like features with long furry tail and mouse like ears, who after the merge made themselves known to the humans. Most Littles now help the owners of the homes they live in one way or another like running cable through walls. And now it’s wasn’t usual to see a Little working along side bigger races. Being able to get into small spaces and repair things that would had needed to be taken apart just to get to the problem. Like the Fixies who hail from Russia who like the Littles made themselves known so people wouldn’t panic finding out little people are living in their walls.
The Fingerman paid the old woman and a pair of guard were shoving Paddington to a wagon, but then suddenly the area is filled with explosions and the Fingermen were attacked by animated suits of armor. Paddington and many others find themselves being saved by Miss Eglantine Price (from the Movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks). She, the kids and Browne were found swept away by the merge. Since her magic is technically borrowed from her assorted magic knick-knacks in her workshop, her magic still works.
Horrified by the current rulers of Britain- seeing them as no different from the Nazi's they're country once proudly fought. They had since joined the ranks of an ever growing resistance force. She was also quick to discover that a sub-dimension of her world; the anthropomorphic island of Naboombu. Also was deposited close to England during the merge... it was mostly conquered and saw most of it's inhabitants killed by Nosefire. Though Eglantine saved what she could.
The K.N.D. section E who unlike the other sections weren't on the Moon base aided in the rescue as well. Numbuh 122 now known as Agent well dressed in a suit and using a trick out umbrella, Numbuh 437 now Big Guy now dress in riot gear and uses a electrified riot shield, and Numbuh 513 now known as Scarf Gal still dress in a baggy overcoat and use the two scarfs she has wrap around her neck as long arms and use cricket bats as weapons.
All of them were 13 when the merge hit and would have their minds wipe but with them the only K.N.D. not trap on the moon they continue to operate the best as they could. Now being 14 year olds the kids of section E have joined the fight against Nosefire.
They're not alone as they're back up by the Rowdy Hooligans From Across The Square. Eric the leader who is armed with a blaster, Fanny who still dress like a royal guard and armed with a blaster model to look like that traditional royal guard fire arm, and Todd who is is armed with a Chemical Thrower from Rapture that's firing Liquid Nitrogen firing all the Finger men. Then there are the Interesting Twins From Beneath The Mountain who are a pair of Japanese twins, a boy Tom and a girl Terra, who like the others use to work for Father. Both of them rode on the living carved lion statues that they found, (The Carved Lions by Mary Louisa Molesworth).
Then there are the former students from Warfield Academy before Nosefire soldiers killed most of the students and teachers. They're lead by James Bond Jr. the nephew of the MI6 agent, along with Horace 'I.Q' Boothroyd 3rd the grandson of Q, Tracy Milbanks who was the daughter of the head master of the academy, Gordon 'Gordo' Leiter the muscle, Phoebe Farragut and Trevor Noseworthy 4th. Once their school was taken down and the students and teachers either were killed or sent away to camps, they join in the fight against Nosefire.
While the suits of armor kept the guards busy, the kids went to work in freeing all the prisoners from the wagons and prison cells. The Twins got the carved lions to knock down some trees to block the roads, and Todd used the chemical thrower to create walls of ice. Up in the air came the flying longboats that the non-humans and other dissidents got onboard that took them up to the Leviathan (from the Leviathan series).
The Leviathan is a British airship, actually a fabricated beast. Though it is equipped with electric "motivator engines". Its main propulsion is actually from its cilia which stir the air. The Leviathan is one of the fastest Darwinist airships, and is able to match speed with any German zeppelin. In addition to the various fabricated creatures it carries, it is armed with guns powered by compressed air and aerial bombs. The Leviathan contains many kinds of fabricated beasts as part of its makeup, including strafing hawks, message lizards, fléchette bats, hydrogen sniffers, Huxleys, and bees (the bees are used both to feed to crew and the ships ecosystem/internal organs with honey.)
The crew were from an alternate WWI era where the world was divided by Clankers (nations or groups that relied on giant steampunk machines) and Darwinists (nations or groups that relied on fabricated, genetically manipulated creatures.) They were in the middle of a weird alternate version of 'the great war'. Before they and many others were sucked in by the merge. At first, many of the stranded British navymen tried to keep serving the British government... but after seeing the atrocities committed by Norsefire, they tried to back out... sadly Norsefire got wind of the defection and managed to kill and arrest many. The Leviathan crew managed to escape but no one else did, sadly. Worse, the BEHEMOTH was captured and was now controlled by Norsefire, as was most of the other fabricated beasts that came with them.
Notable Crewman included:
Deryn (Dylan) Sharp: Lied about her gender to be a navyman like her dad, she's an impressive shipman of the highest caliber. She recently discarded the secrecy as it no longer mattered in their new world. She's currently in a relationship with Alek.
Prince Aleksandar (Alek): Former Prince of the Austro-Hungarian empire; Alek felt deeply guilty that his Great Uncle conspired with Germany to murder his family and threw the world into a horrific war. Unable to do anything about the world he left behind, he's vowed to do what he could to make THIS world better.
Dr. Nora Darwin Barlow: a brilliant boffin who is also the granddaughter of Charles Darwin (It would seem in their world Charles Darwin not only made discoveries into evolution and biology, but also DNA and genetics and how to manipulate them, which is what allowed the creation of the fabricated creatures used by the Darwinists), she is currently the de-facto leader of the Leviathan.
As the boats flew back and forth, they were protected from ground fire by the rouge navy ship USS Constitution from a far off future. The ship has four rockets attached to it allowing it to fly and crewed by Captain Ironside and his robot crew. After Norsefire took over and how the US couldn't openly help the non humans and others being opress in England. The Constitution crew who up till then were part of the coast guard in protecting the East coast and aiding any ships in need of help, went rouge.
They picked up a boat that was full of refugees fleeing from England. The Royal Navy had damage the boat where it was dead in the water and left the survivors on board to die. The small fishing boat crew survived thanks to the arrival of the Constitution crew and where they first learn about the crisis happening in England.
They began venturing further off the coast on the look out for more ships from England. They rescued many ships that managed to escape while being told that they couldn’t take action against the Royal Navy, by the navy higher ups. Till they came across a English ship attacking a fishing boat. They tried to get the ship to back off the captain being a member of Nosefire order the attack to continue where the boat was sunk, even as the Constitution crew was trying to get the people onboard their ship. That’s where Captain Ironside fired his missiles from his launcher arm and took out the deck of the warship killing the deck crew and captain. Then he and his crew captured the ship forcing the crew that weren’t killed into their lifeboats and take their chances at sea.
They only found a young witch name Mildred Hubble alive in the wreckage of the fishing boat. They couldn’t go back to the US after attacking a British ship, so they went rouge and join the fight against Norsefire. Which the president not liking how Nosefire is doing to non-humans and magic users couldn’t do much besides making trade bans against them, without going to open war with them. Once she heard what happen with the Constitution crew, she just allowed them to do what they wanted as they're doing what she wanted to do. So, while the American disavows any involvement with the rouge navy ship the Constitution they didn't go out of their way to stop them either.
The flying ship using energy cannons and other weapons they have taken from the Royal Navy ships they had raided. They destroyed any cars or trucks that came into their firing range. And launching swarms of eyebots that would blow up any incoming missiles with their lasers. And once all the prisoners were freed and onboard the Leviathan. Both ships took off with the Constitution continuing to give covering fire and targeting any Norsefire vehicles they saw along the way to the sea.

Off the coast of England in International Waters -
The Leviathan drop off many of the non-combatants onto Patience's floating nation of Maelstrom, but several of the nonhumans and dissidents stayed on the Leviathan to continue the fight against Norsefire. As for the Royal Navy there was little they could do once the Leviathan and the Constitution reach international waters and enter the waters around Maelstrom, seeing it is a independent nation that is recognized by the UN. Not to mention a US navy ship is dock on the Maelstrom to help guard the refugees seeking to escape to America. Leaving the Norsefire to no choice but not to take any action against Maelstrom as the risk of the US navy ship being caught in the crossfire would result in open war with the US. Which they're trying to avoid, along with trying to keep open trade with the countries they need to maintain their standards of life.
Patience makes sure all the new arrivals are being seen to, getting what they need before they decide where they’ll be going from here. The ones heading for America would wait for a American ship to pick them up which many non humans are heading for America for safety. Ships from other countries are also picking up refugees and taking them to their countries. All done with news coverage from several major news networks covering the crisis happening in England and prevented the English navy from taking action. Or be caught attacking another nation on live world wide news, which would also kill the reporters and the crews of the ships that are ferrying the refugees. Which would open England up to other countries to declare open war on them.
Then Prudence goes to check the colossal cruise liner called the 'Helios' (from the 'Close to the Sun' videogame). It was from a world that was locked in a 1890's technocratic/corporatist cold war between two intellectual tycoons: Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison. The Helios was treated as a nation onto itself and had rules and regulations that seemed to mirror Ryan's Rapture to a less Extreme extent. Since coming to this world the people living on the ship integrated their technology with the advance technology of the many future worlds that came with the merge. The ship goes around the world only stopping at ports to make repairs and restock their supplies. Acting as a cruise liner ferrying people around or taking students who want to learn on the ship run college. Right now it's taking refugees onboard.

Helois -
The Nikola Tesla of that world was currently being scolded by Clockwork...
"You're lucky the Merge happened when it did! You were this close to causing a time crash that could've destroyed your whole world if not brought in check!" Clockwork said who had a hell of a time fixing the mess that Tesla's invention was causing to time and space.
After being chewed out some more, Clockwork finishes his work and leaves. Nikola Tesla then goes to check on a SECOND Nikola Tesla. He was from the same world as the Leviathan crew. Although not nearly as successful as his counterpart, he'd been on his way to making a name for himself. Desperate to end the war, both Clankers and Darwinists had helped him finance the construction of a giant Tesla Coil named GOLIATH. It had been his hope to use it as a way to FORCE both sides into a Mutually assured Destruction pact and end the war on peaceful terms... but since both he and it had come to this world he'd begun to realize that most of Goliath's capabilities had been the result of his own delusions, happenstance, showmanship, and paranoia-induced, pro-war fearmongering propaganda. This depresses him, but the first Tesla comforts and sympathizes with his 'brother' and promises to help him 'fix' the Goliath so it's every bit as great as he'd dreamed... Just in case the worst happened on the mainland, he made sure to keep a large amount of gold and other valuables on the Helios. Many of the best and brightest of his world that he'd accumulated on the ship were also going to stay to work with him... including a young prodigy named Albert Einstein.

Maelstrom -
Patience turns to the several screens showing the live fee from the long range eyebots. She’s been using the eyebots to spot and record any refugee ships heading for the Maelstrom. The eyebots only travel up to the edge of the England waters showing the refugees how far they have to go to get to open waters where the England navy couldn’t go after them.
"More boats are making a break for us," Patience said to Max the polar bear.
"Lots of non humans are fleeing England," Max said.
"And looks like Norsefire is just letting them go now," Patience said as the navy ships going after the fleeing refugees have halted.
"Well, they do want to get rid of them in the first place and we're taking them in," Max said.
"About time," Patience said then she notice a call coming in.
"Is this thing on?" the face of Piero Joplin appeared on the screen.
"Joplin nice to see you," Patience said.
"Pim good it's you," Joplin said.
"What can I do for you?" Patience ask.
Since the merge the empire of the Isles, made up of four main islands, Tyvia, Morley, Gristol and Serkonos. Has been advancing quickly with many changes happening at once to their culture. One of the biggest is replacing whale oil as their main source of fuel, with blaze. Which caused the whaling industry to fall into decline.
There is also the rat plague which resulted in the deaths of the empress and her court, with the plague spreading to England. But thanks to the work of Norsefire a cure was created and now with the Isles under their control there is much rebuilding and modernizing of the isles, like how they still used chamber pots instead of indoor plumbing. Which caused many to side with Norsefire as they had raised their standard of life.
But that's what Norsefire wants the world to believe. Some surviving guards and staff from the royal palace before it was burn down thanks to a out of control fire that destroyed much of Dunwall. Told that Norsefire soldiers had attacked the palace and killed the royal family and the royal court. Then firebombed the palace to covered their tracks. The only remaining member of the royal court is Anton Sokolov, only due to him being in France at the time show casing a collection of his paintings. It has caused a number of people to go underground to fight Norsefire like Joplin is doing.
"I was wondering if you have any misplace shipments of any of those House robots or those machine animals," Joplin ask.
"I can arrange a shipment of robots and animals for you. For the same price as last time," Pim said.
"I'll send the payment," Joplin said. "Also any word about the Outsider?"
"All, I know is that every now and then he shows up at one of the game nights at Prismo's Time Room. But lately he hasn't come to any game night from what I heard from Jake," Pim said.
"I would like to meet those immortals," Joplin said.
"When you have the chance, visit the Candy Kingdom and talk to Jake. He's friends with Prismo and if you get in you can also make a wish," Pim said.
"Isn't his wishes have what's called a monkey paw wish, where the wish comes true but there's always a price if it's not done right?" Joplin ask.
"Yes, so you should write the wish down for Prismo to read over to tell you if it works or not," Pim said. (6)
"Good idea, goodbye," Joplin said turning off the device.

Gravity Falls -
Dipper, Twilight and Wendy had met up with Pacifica at an alleyway in the downtown area, Luz and Mabel also tagged along to see the curse door. Mostly to get away from Stan and Eda who are getting to know each other and the old people going kissy kiss grossed out the kids. Pacifica called about how Lincoln, Ronnie, and Six had just fell out a door that appeared out of nowhere. And that the doorway they all came out of shows nothing but a glowing portal, with Pacifica placing an empty water cooler bottle against the door to keep it from closing. They weren't the only ones who are there as Lincoln called the camp and Huntress Wizard drove into town to pick up the campers and Dib came along to see the portal.
"This is a curse door that randomly appears around Gravity Falls. The author of the journal writes that they ended up in a a desert and had to hitch hike all the way back. The doors only appear here, and you can end up anywhere. They remain open only as long as the door is open and will disappear after closing it," Dipper said reading from the book.
"So where does it go?" Wendy ask using a piece of cardboard to poke into the vortex inside the door. Dib is next to her scanning the doorway, with his pip-boy.
"I have no idea, but it will be somewhere in Gravity Falls," Dipper said.
"Well, it's not magical in nature," Twilight said who didn't had her magic anymore after the pit thing, but she can detect it now.
"But what's on the other side?" Luz asked.
"Yeah, what's on the other side?" Mabel repeated.
"I can toss you in to see if it's safe for the rest of us," Wendy said.
"Hey!" Mabel said.
"I'm sending a drone to see," Dib said sending a drone into the portal. Dib open a holo screen showing what the drone is seeing.
On the screen looks to be a long white hallway. The drone is suddenly grabbed and a man in a suit with a floating faceless head is shown on the screen. Yelling could be heard and the sounds of running feet echoed in the hallway. The floating head man came walking out of the doorway, holding both the drone and one of those reusable shopping bags, closing the door behind him which disappeared once it was closed.
"Thanks for holding the door," the man greeted the gang lifting his hat as he did so.
"Hey, I know you," Dipper said having seen him in the background here and there. "I have been seeing you around, all summer."
"Yes, I have been here and there watching events as they unfold. I have been very entertained in your adventures over the summer," the man said.
"So, who are you?" Wendy asked.
"I'm Terrible Trivium," the man said.
"Aren't you the demon of trivial tasks and not important ones?" Huntress Wizard asked curiously earning her looks from the others. "I do have a life beyond archery."
"Yes, I am and I'm here to show you my thanks," Terrible Trivium said pulling out from the bag he's holding wrapped up bars of some kind, the wrapping has no label on it.
"What are these?" Dib asked.
"Oh, just some powers up, I took from some people. They randomly give anyone who eats them a power," Terrible Trivium said giving each of them a bar. (7)
"Wait why are you giving us this?" Dipper ask holding his bar.
"To show my thanks in keeping that door open," Terrible Trivium said.
"And what was that in that place you came from?" Mabel asked.
"I just took the only samples of the Adam experiment that worked. So now that group in the black market will forever repeat the experiment again and again hoping to get it right again but failing. Thanks to the fact I went and did something with the experiment to get it to work," Terrible Trivium said.
"He's the demon of trivial tasks and not important ones. Him doing this is something he will do. His kind of demon needs to have what they are to gain power. Like the more people believe in a god the stronger the god becomes," Huntress Wizard said.
"Yes, I know I don't have to do this anymore but I do love to get my hands dirty again," Terrible Trivium said.
"Really you don't?" Dib asked.
"I use to need to get people to waste their time but in this modern age, has become the ultimate form of trivial tasks and not important ones is this age the internet age. People wasting time looking up completely unimportant information, people wasting time reading other people blogs, people wasting time looking for things to complain about. Wasting time trying to get likes instead of making something of themselves. Then there are the gamers, wasting time saving the world of a completely made-up world, and wasting so much time in completing tasks that have no impact on the game at all and just doing it to complete the game at 100%. So many wasted the best years of their lives goofing off and doing things that has no real importance. Like the kid in school who did nothing but goof off and be cool that after school they nothing and homeless once their parents kick them out. So much wasted just for stuff that doesn't matter in the long run. The best thing is that I don't have to do anything as they're just doing it themselves," Terrible Trivium said. (8)
"He's right," Dib said thinking about his world and how it rewarded deadbeats.
"Enjoy your powers," Terrible Trivium said walking away.
"Ok so what do we do with these?" Lincoln asked looking at the bar in his hands. On one hand he'll be getting powers, on the other he doesn't know what it will do to him.
"I'll test them first to make sure... Hey!" Dib said looking at Mabel who is eating hers.
"What?" Mabel asked with everyone looking at her.
"Mabel you have no idea what that will do to you," Dipper said.
"Blow?" Mabel said suddenly.
"What?" Dipper asked.
"Blow, the word just pop in my head," Mabel said.
"I know you have the power of blowing!" Luz shouted out.
"Cool!" Mabel said as she filled up with air and blew. Which while she did blew hard enough for all of them to feel it, that was it.
"Looks like you do have blowing powers but seeing how you can only hold so much air in your lungs. That's as hard as you can blow," Dib said.
"Awwww," Mabel said.
"Might as well see what happens," Wendy said as she takes a bite out of her own bar.
"Well?" Pacifica asks.
"Don't feel different...," Wendy said before she starts hearing a word. "Ram?"
"You gain the power of ramming?" Ronnie ask.
"I got it. The powers are based around a word," Lincoln said having read enough comics.
"My turn," Dipper said taking a bite from his bar. "Fix."
"Oh good one," Wendy said.
Lincoln eats his bar. "Dumb?"
Six joins him in eating hers. "Cling?"
Ronnie joins them as well. "Soup?"
Pacifica eats hers as well. "Cloud?"
Twilight was next. "Astral?"
"Dib was next. "Boost?"
Luz was next. "Extend?"
And Huntress Wizard. "Cook? At least, I can help out in the kitchen at camp."
"If these powers are anything like the ones in One Piece, there isn't any bad powers, just bad users," Lincoln said.
"So if I train myself, I can really blow," Mabel asked.
"You already blow," Wendy smirks.
"Thanks," Mabel said before she got it. "Hey!"

Equestria -
Sunset looks over the place that would had been her home if her birth parents hadn’t given her up. She stands with her guards and robots to put a stop to her moms rampage. Which is why she brought so many guards and robots. But that wasn’t what they found. They found the ponies of the town gathered around her human family with them talking with her pony birth family.
The place they’re at is a cold god forsaken place called Nibblet, a small village that was setup by Earth Ponies who wanted nothing to do with magic. The town if you could call the shacks that made up the town a town was a sad sight to see. All poorly built and hardly kept the elements out. Thanks to how hard it was for them to get supplies and goods from the outside world. With their only contact being a trader now and then.
The farmland that surrounded the town was overworked and barren. When the rains came, they soaked in and stayed. Even when the surface was dry and cracked, just beneath was sodden. They never went thirsty, but they couldn’t grow any crops that wouldn’t rot before they reached maturity. And that was before they lost their plant growing magic. And the deaths rate of the village skyrocket to the point where there is only around a hundred or so left.
“So, this is where I was born,” Sunset said turning her gaze to her pony birth parents.
Her mother and father are much skinnier and smaller than their human counterparts. As for her pony sisters, they’re all stunted and skinny compared to their counterparts. Not to mention that more than half of them are missing. The missing ones are buried in the family graveyard behind their shack, which has been expanded over the years as more and more children are born. The sight of their pony counterparts and how they live took the bloodlust from her human family.
“We gave you up, so you have a better life,” her birth father said.
“Our community wouldn’t accept you and it was for the best that you grew up elsewhere,” her birth mother said.
“This is a toxic community. And not because this is a natural bog. The only reason why you all managed to survive this long in this fetid and lamented bog, was because of earth magic. Now with no magic the land has become a toxic quagmire thanks to the runoff from the chicken, pig and cow farms near here. It’s that the ponies refuse to change their ways to make their standard of life to be better. Refusing the supplies that I been sending to help improve things,” Sunset said.
“This is our town, and we don’t need your help,” an elder said.
“And none of your business,” the mayor of the town said.
“Actually, seeing how the land you’re all living on is owned by the crown which is me. And seeing how this town isn’t producing anything this place is a uselessvile. So I’m just having you all evicted from my land,” Sunset said.
“You’re going to force us out of our homes?” an elder ask.
“Of course not. I’m leaving that to the police force to do it. And you all have no choice as I see that you have no supplies coming in and only been eating wild plants to survive this long. And from the number of buildings abandon ponies either left or died. You all won’t survive another winter and I refuse to give you ponies food and get nothing in return. So, I’m giving you all no choice but to leave by force and all of these buildings be torn down,” Sunset said and turns to her party. “Come we”re heading back.”
“Sunset wait,” her pony birth mother said.
“There is nothing to say. I am grateful for you and father for giving me a better life then you could give me. What I can’t forgive now knowing why you gave me up. Is that if this village hates magic so much that already cost you many of my pony sisters because of one thing or another that magic could had done something to help. Why didn’t you just move?” Sunset asks.
“This is our home,” her pony father said.
“And that matters... why? You don’t have enough food to keep my sisters all alive. And seeing how I ended up in Canterlot where Celestia made me her daughter, shows that you two could had travel to another village and made that place your home. So why didn’t you do it? Staying here where most of my sisters died because there wasn’t enough food? Is this place really worth your children lives?” Sunset asks.
Both of her birth parents just shut their mouths and couldn’t even look at her.
“That’s what I thought,” Sunset said before walking away from her birth parents who couldn’t do what was best for all of their children.
