The first Chapter of this ongoing serie: The Beast of Gravity Falls! I plan to post a chapter each month (I don’t want to burn myself out and I want to make this story work)
Early December 1980
Stanford Pines came to the conclusion that testing a new specimen with his molecular analysis device during a snowstorm was not the best idea he’d ever had.
Warning lights flashed across the machine’s console, signaling that it was overheating. Ford scrambled to check the power source’s monitors, and frowned when it’s energy output readings came out normal. Where was the additional surge coming from?
Belatedly, he realized that his backup generator must have been activated by the blizzard outside. And that same generator—which he’d built with the capacity to fuel a small city—was now feeding into the machine’s power supply.
A power surge had been created! Ford cursed and rushed to the side of the device, flipping open the control panel to initiate the emergency shutdown procedure. A bright red switch in the middle of the dashboard blinked to life. Stanford didn’t waste anymore time and slammed his hand down on the bright red switch.
Everything fell silent for a moment in his basement lab.
Ford barely had time to breathe before the molecular machine suddenly roared back to life, filling the room with a bright white light. A massive shock wave emanated from the machine and sent Ford flying all the way across the room. It knocked him against the wall and the wind out of his lungs.
He was passed out before his head hit the floor.
