Gravity Falls Stan Pines Novels & Stories

Killian crashed down on top of me, his chain-wrapped torso pinning me to the freezing stone as he gripped the outer edge of the mountain seam to keep us from tumbling after the staircase. The tier plummeted into the dark, the sound of the crashing pine growing fainter until it was swallowed by the howling wind of the valley floor three thousand feet below. We lay there in the dark, pinned against the freezing basalt, our lungs burning with the sharp, resinous pine air, the only sound the heavy, rhythmic scraping of our breathing against the silence of the high peaks. Then, the mountain spoke.

"Biometric seals. I can't hack them in time." He looked at the open hangar bay doors. The wind was howling in, carrying smoke and ash. We are two thousand feet up. "We jump," Tristan said. "Jump?" Saoirse looked at the drop. "Into what? The pavement?" "The harbor," Tristan said. "The Spire is built on the edge of the reclaimed land. If we jump from the gantry crane... we might hit deep water." "Might?" "Do you have a better idea?" KR-ACK.

The trees that grew here were splendid long-leaf pines, shooting up straight as arrows almost a hundred feet before they broke into palm-like branches; and many of them were so large that the turpentine gatherers had been able to chip them on both sides, and hang two cups on them. For about two hundred yards this park-like growth lasted, where his horse’s feet trod silently on the thick layer of pine-needles; then a slight descent took him out into the open ground. The sunlight seemed blinding after the shade of the woods. The sky was hazily blue, radiating an intense heat. High overhead two buzzards soared in circles. The ground was a tangle of gallberry-bushes, and Joe rode through them by

Sherbourn. Even when Makayla was gearing up to take Stacey down, she was already setting up her next play. Four Pines wasn’t just another forest—it was sacred ground. Endangered species. Fragile ecosystems. And a thorn in the side of any developer with dollar signs in their eyes. Stacey had learned nothing. Or worse—she’d learned everything and was moving faster than anyone could keep up. GreenFlare: Can someone quietly send me everything you’ve got on Red Cedar and LSB? I need dates, properties, owners, and aliases.

The pins are made for soil. I’m in a hard rocky cave. I take deep breaths. Alright, I can do this! I take the first pin, gather as much pressure as I can and drive it into the ground. I need to put them in from one wall of the cave to the other. There are six of them. One down. Two… Three… … “Did I fall asleep?” I drag my heavy body across the cave floor. Four… Five… Yes! The final one. I gather my strength for the last time, ready to stab the ground when:

If we didn’t go now, it would touch him. “Come on,” I said, motioning for Thistle to start descending. Thistle looked down and paused. But only for a moment. With a shaky foot, he started moving down the steep side of the ravine. The side of the ravine was loose stone. The stone slid under our feet. It was almost impossible to find our footing. Half way down, Thistle slipped. Thor caught him, hauling him up like he weighed nothing. “I’ve got you,” Thor said. Thistle clung to him, pale, shaking. I came down behind them, each foot careful. If I slipped, I’d cascade to the bottom. I knew I wouldn’t survive that fall. My breathing turned sharp.

After four hours, Chase and the others landed on a strange-looking peak that caught their attention. It was white all over and was made out of some kind of strange rocks. The peak was covered with red pine trees. Every pine tree was a few hundred feet tall. They were so tall, they could almost touch the sky. "What mountain is this? What trees are those?" Quinn was stunned by what she saw. It felt like she had arrived in another world. Before anyone could answer her, she heard a loud rumbling.

The light at the end of the tunnel is near. The entrance to the cave shakes the earth. The staircase shifts as we travel pass the Great Grizzly. Although all living beings are frozen in time for us to escape, the inorganic materials like rocks are still moving about freely. The rocks drop on the staircase chipping away at the ground little by little. The stairs fall into a deep chasm within the Luna mountain.

"On three!" One. I gripped the harness straps until my knuckles felt like they would burst. Two. Ethan wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him and his mother, creating a single, heavy mass. Three. The charge detonated. The pulley shattered, and for a heartbeat, we were weightless. The fall felt like an eternity. The black canopy of the pines rushed up to meet us like a solid wall. We hit the branches first—a chaotic, bone-breaking sequence of snaps and thuds—before crashing into a ten-foot-deep snowdrift at the base of a cliff.

His body was covered in dirt. He looked at her and hesitated to speak. The emotions in his eyes were very complicated. “Ms. Stanton, during the earthquake just now, the surface fractured, and the boulder fell down when the first tremors hit. Mr. Sloan and three other people who were standing there fell off the cliff together. They didn’t have a chance to react.” This was the cruel truth. Nicole’s face was dreary and tense as she looked at the large surface that had disappeared in disbelief.
