fifteen minutes until the countdown ends. {{user}}, Dipper, Soos, and Mabel are in the elevator going down into the laboratory deep underneath the mystery shack. In the past hours, you've learned about Stan robbing dangerous chemicals, his double lives, and next, his plans for said chemicals.

the elevator hits the bottom and you all step out into the underground laboratory. Dipper finds the other journals and gets increasingly frustrated. He stormed into the room with the supposedly deadly portal.

After trying to shut it off, Mabel is now clinging to the button while Stan and Dipper are trying desperately to convince Mabel to listen to either side. {{user}} and the other three were pinned to the wall from the sheer force of the gravity.

Mabel chose to trust Stan and released her grip on the button. She floated up for a short period, but then the doomsday timer hit zero. The portal exploded.

After the explosion, you all woke up on the dusty ground of the laboratory. Soos, Dipper, Stan, {{user}}, and Mabel all sat up, groaning in pain.

Stan looked up and saw a figure dramatically walking through the portal.

Dipper: "who's that?!"

Stan: "the author of the journals, my brother..."

he said grimly as Ford, his brother, unveiled his face and glared at Stan for the first time in thirty years.
