3rd Person POV

20 miles east of Gravity Falls

A beautiful red-haired female walked around in the confined space of her transport to the town of supernatural entities. She inspected each of her weapons meticously with a careful eye as a weird bearded scientist was reading the mission report of recent surveillance of Gravity Falls while picking his teeth with a large knife and eating cereal from a box with a fork.

A usual sight for Jane.

Even more so for the man in the pilot's seat with a serious look on his face as handled the controls with practiced ease.

The man's hair was dark gray with a horizontal silver streak along the sides of it, and he possessed unusually long sideburns. His chin has a cleft and lightly prominent five o'clock shadow, and bears little to no hairs on it. He also appeared to have polydactyly. Meaning, he has six fingers on each hand. He wore a large black coat with multiple pockets on the inside, and an item that appears to be a black futuristic gun resting on his back. Underneath his coat, he wears a black shirt and pants. He also dons bulky tan brown boots, a black belt that slings from his shoulder, a silver mettalic cloak, and a red scarf. He has a gold dot on either side of his glasses and a crack on the left lens.

If it was not known of who is this mysterious middle-aged man. (That was a nice alliteration)

It was the one and only.

Stanford Pines.

Now, I know what you're thinking as of now. We all thought the portal failed to bring Grunkle Stan's twin brother but Billy.

Well let's backtrack to the faithful day.

Flashback

Stanford "Ford" Pines was traversing between dimensions. Currently he was in the surprisingly enjoyable Dimension 52.

He had just escaped from the Sheol Dimension. He was peeved that he was almost caught. Again.

By who?

The only one who was an even greater threat than Bill. Billy.

Personally, his highly intellectual mind had a hard time comprehending the simplicity and similarity of Billy's name with Bill's.

He knew that Bill was a threat to humanity due to his scheme to create the Universal Portal using Ford in order to merge his 2-D realm with Earth's. But Billy was a bigger problem but with the same goals.

Ford still remembered McGucket's word to this day even after thirty long years.

"When gravity falls and earth becomes sky, fear the beast with just one eye."

Oh how he was simple-minded to believe that the professor was wrong until he realized then he called his brother, Stanley which then led to them fighting since Stan was angry with his petty attempts of reconciliation and landing him in the activated portal by accident.

As it activated and him about to land in the portal, he saw a figure on the other side that had a striking resemblance to the dream demon but was more intimidating.

He realized that this might be somebody who was also like Bill and had also insidious intentions.

So, he quickly took out from his coat an EMPGG, standing for Electromagnetic Pulse Generator Grenade, and threw it at the plutoniom conversion generators supplying power to the portal.

The figure saw the flying projectile and was charging dark blue energy spiraling into a sphere in his hand but Ford already foresaw it so as he threw an ordinary but still deadly grenade at the figure.

Both grenades hit their targets and on impact, released their respective ordinance.

The result was the plutoniom reacting to the electricity coming from the grenade, melting the machines and shortcircuiting them.

Also, the other one fell directly into the energy sphere and exploded, throwing back the figure rather violently.

Ford gave a faint smile as he the last thing he saw was Stan staring horrified as his twin brother disappeared into the portal.

Ford shook the memory off as he trudged on the soft ground when an extremely familiar circular portal with rainbow colors highlighting it opened in thin air.

Then, he felt the sensation of his old body being pulled right down to the atoms towards the portal. His only thoughts as he was a foot away from leaving this dimension was...

Not again.

x_X_x

His head was ringing and it felt like there was a party of drunk, raving drug-addicts swinging around jackhammers inside his head.

Man, that sounds painful.

His sight was full of stars and he felt dirt crunching under his prone body. Once he opened his eyes, he saw he was back in his secret lab but it was absolutely and definitely trashed.

He then heard shouting as he saw a blonde girl was holding back an angry brown-haired girl wearing a sweater shouting at somebody he recognized as his brother Stanley who had a tearful visage imprented on his face. But he aged just as much as him.

Ford took a step forward, not knowing whether to be angry at Stan who probably activated the portal, comfort his brother, or be happy that he was back from the dead supposedly.

Before he took one more step, his body convulsed as several currents of electricity coursed through his body and he fell back down, smoking.

Behind Ford was a nondescript agent holding a taser of sorts but still a taser nonetheless.

Ford woke up again with the same terrible headache as he sat down on a metal chair.

Wait, a metal chair?

He looked down as his headache subsided

As he stared at a tall man in a suit who had an aura of demanding respect.

The man smiled at him while Ford growled menacingly.

End Flashback

Of course, from that day forward, Ford worked for the organization as he realized the ramifications of him revealing himself to Stan. As it would feel like his life for another.

He was also especially glad that he had a great-grand nephew and niece.

But he was sad because his nephew Dipper practically followed his footsteps and died because of it.

He was skeptical of how Billy disappeared so suddenly including Dipper.

From the mission reports of the agents in the shack at the time said that Dipper shouted something and at that time, he disappeared along with Billy.

He wanted to find him but the organization deemed Dipper dead.

Fortunately, the commander believed him and secretly gave him funding while not getting the attention of the organization.

Ironic. Hiding a secret in a secret organization secretly.

He hit dead-ends everywhere but he still worked with McGucket on certain projects.

The most important being Project Vigilance which made Jane who she was.

Now, Ford found out that Dipper is probably alive and hoped to fix his mistakes.

As the Javelin flew ever closer to the site where they could deploy the afternoon was soon turning into night and as soon as they were nearing the target drop-zone, Ford shouted out to the back,

"Jane, suit up. We're about a minute from the target area."

"Yes, Sir Grumpy Face."

He growled at that silently, knowing Jane was giggling at him.

If McGucket was the father of Jane, then Ford would be the uncle. Hence, the teasing. But there was more to Jane's family relationship to the two men.

"No joking around, Jane. This mission would test you, so be prepared."

Jane nodded and the smile on her face morphed into a stone-like line.

Ford heard the familiar sound of the Javelin landing and gently to the ground, once he scanned the forest carefully to make sure that no one was in the area, he quickly flicked several switches on the Javelin just as the drop-ship was soon cloaked by the photo-reactive panels that they had on the Javelin, effectively hiding the ship from sight for the time being.

Ford unbuckled his seatbelt and went to a TV screen which activated in his presence. The others gathered in front of him waiting for a debriefing.

"Ok, as you have read, local surveillance of the area says that there is somebody who has a 75% chance facial recognition to my late grand-nephew Dipper Pines. Also, satellite photos show him driving towards the Northwest Mansion, suggesting either he is visiting or lives there."

As he said that, several pictures on the screen appear in succession. When he finished, he pointed at Jane.

"Agent Nightshade shall infiltrate the mansion quietly and extract the suspect from the premises without alerting the residents of our presence. I will stay on a ridge near the mansion providing sniper support if it gets dicey and to alert you of further developments. Professor, you'll man the Javelin and get ready to take off when Nightshade retrieves the target. Am I clear?"

Everybody nodded and Ford nodded back. He walked to the exit and slammed a red button, opening the rear door of the Javelin jet.

"Let's do this."
