------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prologue ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (In a dark room three creatures surround an unconscious Ashley) Darkneous: (Looks at the other two) So... is this the person? Yellow Creature: (Looks unsure) I can't tell... she seems to be human... not a hybrid like us. Darkneous: (Glares at the Blue Creature) So what do you think, or are you on this Prickly Pear's side? Blue Creature: (Hesitates) Uh... well.... maybe I'm not sure.... Darkneous: (Growls) You're both idiots! I should've asked the Blue Crybaby I kidnapped! Yellow Creature: (Glares at Darkneous) Woah Mr. Temper! I didn't say she isn't one, I just said I can't tell it's been thousands of years since I looked into a said "Hybrid" like us! Blue Creature: (Nods) She's right, we can't just jump to conclusions, tell you what, we can keep her in our possession until she shows any signs of being one. If we can't see anyway signs we can just go out a search again. Darkneous: (Growls) That sounds smart for a Blueberry Brain, fine we can do that if it makes you happy! We can put her in the dungeon for now... just make sure that Blue Crybaby thinks she's gonna hurt him... it will be my only entertainment after today's meeting! (The light in the room fades)
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 1: An Awkward Encounter! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Ashley wakes up in a strange room) Ashley: (Clearly can't see because she doesn't have her glasses on) Ugh... where am I? Why do I feel like a bolder hit me in the head.... ???: (Sounds scared) You're- You're awake? Please don't-don't hurt me... Ashley: (Trying to search for her glasses, but sounds confused) Hurt you? Why would I do that, who are you? ???: (Now sounds frustrated after she said that) Darkneous! Ugh... he must have said that you would hurt me just to make me cry! He's the worst, when I find my brother he'll KILL him! Ashley: (Grabs her glasses and sounds shocked) A-a Bi-bill Cip-pher! (She sees a blue dream demon that looks like Bill in front of her in the room) ???: (Shakes his head) I'm not Bill, but wait... you know my brother? Ashley: (Confused while looking for her baseball bat) Your brother! Wait, if you're his brother... than who are you? ???: (Bows as he says) I'm Will Cipher, Bill's younger brother I'm sorry I scared you. Ashley: (Looks at him like he's an alien... which he is) You sound nicer than him, is he like the evil sibling in your family? Will: (Looks at her a laughs a bit) I guess... though our oldest brother is a lot worse than him, anyways who are you? Ashley: (Nods) I'm Ashley Timber, I own a bookstore in Gravity Falls, now where are we? Will: (Nods as he says) Nice to meet you Ashley, and we're in the dungeon in the domain in the Dreamscape where Darkneous resides... Ashley: (Cuts him off) Darkneous! Oh that jerk kidnapped me, that's why I hurt all over! Will: (Nods) That sounds about right, anyways there's a few things you have to know if you run into him here. Ashley: (Confused) What do you mean by that? Will: (Huffs) Looks like I'll have to show you. (Will transforms into a human) Ashley: (Shocked) What! How is this possible! Will: (Explains) Well me, along with many other including Darkneous have the ability to shapeshift into human form... you know so we don't scare people. Ashley: (Confused) Then why didn't Bill ever do that? Will: (Explains) Well Bill kind of destroyed our world before he was old enough to learn this skill, but I was taught earlier than him because I'm a bit calmer than him. Ashley: (Nods) That makes sense, but do you know what happened to Bill? Will: (Confused) No, but it has been a while since I've sensed his aura... do you know what happened to him? Ashley: (Clearly hesitant to tell him) Uh... well you haven't been about to talk to him because- (All a sudden the Yellow and Blue Creatures come into the cell) Will: (Confused) What's going on Flora and Tidal Wave? Flora: (Ignores Will's statement) Ashley Timber, you've been called to the Council's new quarters. Ashley: (Confused) Wait, why is that? Will: (Hesitates) Ashley just go, you don't want to make them mad... trust me on that okay. Flora: (Mad) What did you just say about us you little block a ice! Tidal Wave: (Bends down to Ashley's level) It's okay, no one's going to hurt you, it's just to tell you the main reason you're here. Ashley: (Looks down) But... I'm so confused about the whole shapeshifting, more Ciphers, and now something's up with... me!? Tidal Wave: (Nods in reassurance) It's alright, it was strange when I first learn about this stuff, but as time went by I got use to it... now come on! Flora: (Growls) Yeah, you better come or I'll have to us a knock out dart on you again! Ashley: (Shocked) Wait... you used a what on me! Will: (Backing up) I'm going to step back in case this gets physical... Flora: (Nods) That's a wise choice you Blue Crybaby Coward! Ashley: (Growls) Hey don't call him that, I've got a baseball bat in my bag that I'm not afraid to use! Flora: (Growls) Why I oughta- Tidal Wave: (Crying) Please don't fight! I hate violence! Ashley: (Looks at Tidal Waves and growls) Fine I'll go with you, but only if Will comes along too. Flora: (Rolls her eyes) Ugh... fine he can come too... (They start walking out of the room, but not before Ashley grabbed her baseball bat just in case)
