Power 1
A/N: Finally another GF story from me. I love GF, but I have no idea what to write for it, but after seeing many things, and thinking my ass off, an idea appeared. And being a fanfiction writer, this idea needs to appear on my computer and built upon. So, dear readers, I present to you: Power: A BillDip Story.
Dipper's POV:
It was finally time. It was time to defeat Bill. Some people were even talking about destroying him! I find that a little extreme, but if it has to be done, it will be.
I'm still a little hurt about Mabel making a copy of me, but I can't let that bring me down. I'll talk to Mabel later about it.
Robbie had actually managed to escape Bill. That was hard t believe, but he did it. Apparently while Bill and the other demons were trying to get out of Gravity Falls, he regained consciousness. He ran around the Pyramid before he stole Bill's car.
We had a plan, we figured out from McGucket about this thing called the Cipher Wheel. Apparently, it's our only chance at stopping Bill. We're missing one person though, and that's Ford. We can hold Bill back, but we need Ford to defeat him.
We were going to sneak into the castle, by using Bill's car, and then hold Bill back while I get Ford. Apparently, if we put Ford into the middle of all of us, he'll be restored.
It was almost time to move out.
"Dipper, do you think we're ready?" Mabel asks.
"Of course. We need to defeat Bill and save the town. We need to be ready." I answer.
Everyone on the Cipher Wheel goes into the car. Soon, the car starts to ascend into the air. We all wave goodbye as we head off to the castle.
We land inside the hole that Time Baby made. We sneak in and circle up.
"Okay, we have to do this now." Grunkle Stan states. We all nod. I grab Mabel's hand. Stan grabs mine. We all do it around the circle. A blue glow starts to envelop us. We raise into the air. Now it was time to put the plan into action. We float towards where Bill is.
"Bill!" I shout. Bill turns to us.
"Isn't this cute? You are trying to defeat me?" Bill asks, "How are you going to do that without Sixer?" Bill raises up Ford.
As Bill looks at us, I carefully let go of Stan and Mabel's hands. The glow goes away from me, and Stan and Mabel hold each other's hands now. Mabel and I nod at each other.
I sneakily run over to Bill's chair. Bill set's down Ford on his arm rest. Perfect. I climb on the chair and grab Ford. I look at all the faces on the chair. These poor people. This is why Weirdmageddon needs to be stopped. I start to walk back to the group.
I rush and put Ford in the middle.
"Guys, grab Sixer before he can be restored!" Bill orders his friends. The come at us, but Ford gets restored before they could get him.
Ford puts a hand to his head, "Agh, what happened?"
"We'll explain later, but come on!" I run back to my spot, and Ford follows suit. I tell him what to do and he grabs Grunkle Stan's hand. The blue glow becomes brighter.
"No!" Bill exclaims. The blue glow goes everywhere. I can hear the other demons screaming, being sent back from which they came. It was working! We all struggled to keep our hands together in this chaos, but we did. Soon, the blue glow went away.
The pyramid was gone. We were on the ground. The town was broken and in ruins, but the sky was blue, and the people were back. They were unconscious though.
We all looked around and took it in.
"We did it!" Pacifica cheered.
"Well I'll be darned." McGucket says.
Soos throws his hands up, "Good job dudes!"
We all laugh together. We finally fill in Ford of all the details.
"I'm glad that you found out about the Cipher Wheel. I was going to tell you about it, ut seems all of you found out about it."
"Yeah, if we didn't find out about it, Bill would have totally made the world get weird!" Mabel exclaims. She makes a crazy sign. We all laugh. But I hear another laugh in the background.
The laugh gets louder.
"Guys, be quiet for a second." I tell them. They all stop their laughing and talking. The laugh is much clearer now.
"It can't be." Ford says.
"But I thought we totally kicked his butt!" Wendy states.
"I guess not, Red."
We look around to try and find Bill.
"Where are you?" I call out.
"Dipper, behind you!" Ford shouts. I turn around to see Bill behind me.
"Are you surprised I didn't get destroyed because of your attack?"
"How are you here?" I ask.
"Oh, you know exactly how."
"How about you just tell us?" I ask.
"Fine, you all take the fun out of everything. Having everyone on my wheel should have destroyed me, but if one person doesn't have the will to kill me, then it won't kill me. Now the question is, which one of you didn't want me gone?" Bill explains. I can tell he knows who it is.
We all suspiciously turn to Gideon.
"Hey, I may not want on my lil' ol' hands, but I definitely wanted that bastard dead!" Gideon exclaims.
"He sounds genuine." Stan points out. "You guys better not be thinking it was it. It was his fault my brother was gone for 30 years!"
"It was his fault that I was stuck in that dimension for 30 years!" Ford shouts.
"He ruined my life!" McGucket yells.
"So, Ford wanted him dead, so did Stan, McGucket and Gideon. Did everyone else want him dead?" I ask.
"My family could have been dead because of him. I hate him!" Wendy yells.
"Wendy could have been dead! I could have died!" Robbie says.
"He pretty much killed my dad!" Pacifica explains.
"He's destroyed the town! Abuelita got turned into a chair!" Soos explains.
"He could have hurt Dipper! Or Grunkle Stan! Or anyone!" Mabel explains.
That leaves me. I should've known! I ruined everything just because I didn't want to just kill or destroy Bill. How am I that weak?
"Dipper, did you want to destroy Bill?" Ford asks.
"Dipper, please tell me you did." Mabel states.
"I-I didn't! I couldn't!" I say.
"What? Why? Do you realise what you've done?" Ford says.
"I just couldn't bring myself to destroy Bill. I can't take someone's life like that! Even if they are bad."
"Oh ho ho! It seems we have a winner!" Bill exclaims, "And it also seems you all have won, for now. I can't form Weirdmaggedon again. My friends are gone. But I'm still here. But you know what? At least I might be able to be happy."
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"Our deal." Bill replies.
"What?" I ask. I know exactly what he's talking about, but how is that going to do anything?
"There's still an ounce of me left in you, Pine Tree. Now it's time to use it." Bill states. With a snap of his fingers, a blue fire goes around me. A blue fire goes around Bill too.
"Aah! What are you doing?" I ask.
"Giving you what you wanted!" Bill answers.
"Oh no!" Ford exclaims.
"DIPPER!" Mabel calls out.
"Mabel! Stand back!" I shout. I can feel something going through me, but I don't know what it is. I feel, different somehow. I also feel bigger. What happened? What did he do to me? The blue fire goes away and I fall to the ground.
"Ow." I say. I stand up. Everyone gapes at me. "What?"
"You're… older." Mabel answers. I look down at me. I am older! Only by 3 years. I'm 16 now. I can feel it. I feel so different. And not just because I'm taller and older. I feel… powerful. Like I could do anything! Did Bill give me some of his power? I think about making a blue fire like Bill does, and one appears in the palm of my hand. Luckily no one sees.
This is so weird! What did he do?
"How am I 16? Bill what did you do?" I ask. There was no reply. "Bill?"
I start to see someone get up. He looks like a teenager, 17 maybe? He's blond, and has tan skin. He has a black eye patch on his right eye. His hair is parted and cut on the left side. He has a black bowtie and yellow sweater vest on, with a white shirt underneath. He's wearing black pants and has a black top hat on. He has black dress shoes on.
"Bill?" I say to the man.
"Surprised that I'm a meat sack?" Bill asks.
"What did you do?" I ask.
Bill gets up and walks towards me and everyone else. I feel myself float, but I ground myself.
"Well it's simple. I gave you some of my power. I'm now weaker, so I'm stuck as a human. And you got older for some reason. Must be so you could adjust to the power."
"This isn't what I wanted!" I shout. I feel like I'm lying to myself. Being able to float, conjuring up fire. It's actually kind of cool! I kinda like it. I don't want it gone.
"How do you know?" Bill asks.
"Ugh! Change me back!" I demand. What am I saying? I'm just lying to myself. I want to stay like this.
"Why would you want that? So you could be back with these assholes?" Bill asks.
"They aren't assholes!" I protest.
"Oh are they? Let me show you the truth. And I'm not going to change anything, this all comes from you." Bill flicks his wrist, and the world goes black and white. I start to see my memories in front of me. I see a door labelled 'Gravity Falls'.
"Open it, and you'll see." Bill tells me. I open the door and look around. I see some of my whole life in here. I can see things I don't want to bring up.
I see memories about Grunkle Stan. I see him picking on me. Him and Mabel teasing me. I can see him being a liar the whole summer, endangering us all. But that was all for Ford right? But what about the constant teasing?
I move on to everyone else as well. I see Wendy letting me down. Kind of ignoring me all summer. I see everything Gideon and Robbie did. I see Pacifica and what she did.
I see everything. I see memories about Ford. How horrible he was to Grunkle Stan when I was told about it. I can see Great Uncle Ford wanting me to leave my family, my friends. How could he do that?
I move on to Mabel, the last person.
There was the time in 3rd grade where Mabel had so many friends, that sometimes she forgot about me. Or when she chose Stan over me. Or when she made the copy of me. The copy that was the perfect brother to her. Was I not good enough for her? I can see me sacrificing so much for her, and barely getting anything in return.
I didn't get a good shot at Wendy because of her. And that happened multiple times. I got forced out my body because of her!
Bill was able to do this because of her!
I feel so betrayed, lied to. She made Dippy Fresh. And she really liked him. Why?
Because he was cool? Hip? Better than me in every way? Is that what I am to her? Second best? Not good enough?
Did she hate me?
3rd Person POV:
When everyone looked at Dipper as he was just floating there, eyes glowing, they didn't know what to think. That's because he was crying. Was Bill torturing him?
Bill actually felt bad for the kid. He expected him to see all of this summer, but he saw more than the summer. He started to go down Mabel's path, all the way back to their childhood. Everything she had ever done was coming back to him. And it was tearing him apart.
Bill just wanted to go over to Pine Tree. Do something to help him. As a human, he was feeling something… different, for Pine Tree. He had always like Pine Tree when he was a demon. But as human, it's like these feelings were multiplied tenfold!
Hopefully Pine Tree would finish soon, Bill could hardly stand him feeling like this.
Dipper's POV:
I was dying on the inside. I had gone through all of my childhood. Everything Mabel had done. From the time she said she hated me, to the betrayal, to her being mad at me. There was so much to go through.
She hated me! Didn't she? Everyone here had some underlying resent towards me. I've seen it! Am I that bad of a person? I can now feel the tears on my cheeks. The world goes back into focus.
My breaths are sharp. The world goes back into colour. I wipe my eyes. I can see everyone again. They all look mad though. IS it because I failed the mission? I step back into Bill.
"Oops, um sorry." I apologise. I float up a little bit, but I focus on staying on the ground.
"So Dipper, what did you see?" Mabel asks. What do I answer? I saw the truth? She hated me?
"What about what I didn't see?" I ask. It starts to get cloudy out. It becomes darker where we stand.
"What are you talking about?" Mabel asks.
"Are you guys mad at me? I failed the mission!" I state.
"While I suppose I'm a little bit disappointed, I might be a little angry…" Ford states. Grunkle Stan elbows him.
"I didn't mean to fail the mission! I just couldn't kill someone!" I explain. "What I saw in there was horrible, but I've realised the truth. All of you just hate me or something!"
"Dipper, don't be ridiculous." Mabel scoffs.
"But it's true." I state. I walk over to them. "I saw everything. The teasing, the mocking, the pushing, shoving. Everything! I don't have friends, I don't even have, any acquaintances! At least the people at school are honest with me!"
"Dipper-" Mabel starts.
"I saw so much. So much of what you did! Remember the pig incident?" I ask.
"Yeah…" Mabel says.
"How did you actually survive a month outside? You can't do that!"
"Well, about that. That's um… something interesting. You're right, I couldn't stay out there for a month. But I really wanted Waddles! You could have had other chances right? So I went out there every day, and came back in later."
"You mean you lied! How could you be so selfish! I've been doing things for you all summer! And you repay me in lies? You've lied to me, and you made a clone of me, which was better than me in every way. You want me to be cooler, and don't give e any more lies because whatever was in that bubble was your heart's desire. Or what about forgetting me sometimes in 3rd grade?"
Mabel is silent. I start to float up in the air.
"Everything this summer. Most of the people I've met have been horrible to me or Mabel. I just saw all of that again. Grunkle Stan, you just kept teasing and mocking me. And whenever you and Mabel got together, it was like you left me out! Or what about you Gideon and Robbie? Oh wait, you already know. I was ignored by Wendy, Pacifica did all that stuff to Mabel, and you wanted me to leave my family Ford! You called Mabel pretty much not as smart as me!"
"Dipper, kid, let's calm down maybe…" Grunkle Stan tries.
"I can't!" Lightning flashes behind my back. Did I do that? "If you all hate me, then why should I come back at all?"
"Dipper." Mabel tries.
"Don't. I just can't do this anymore. I can't stay. I'm just different now. Just look at me, I'm floating!" I shout.
"Dipper, you can stay." Mabel says.
"No I can't! What if I'm a danger? Yeah, that's right, I still care about people who might hate me, people who've lied to me."
"Well, maybe if we 'hate' you, you shouldn't come back…" Mabel grumbles. I look at her in disbelief. I float back down. I cared about her most, but I guess it isn't the same way with her. She really does hate me. I knew it. I'm a horrible person. These people hate me. The world hates me. What good is someone named Dipper Pines for?
"I can't watch this anymore." Bill steps in. His hair blows in the wind. It starts to mist on us. What's up with the weather?
"Since none of you actually have a damn caring bone in your body, and all of you suck, I think it's right Pine Tree doesn't come back. You know why it's right? Because he's mine." Bill explains.
"Let him go!" Ford shouts.
"I'm not holding him hostage! We share something now! I gave him some of my power, and that's because I like Pine Tree." Bill says. Ford takes something out of his coat. What is he doing?
"Pine Tree is going to be mine," Bill continues. Ford starts loading his gun. Oh no, Bill is human, that's going to kill him! Ford takes aim. I start dashing at Ford, "Since he now knows how you truly are, nothing will stand between me and-" Bill stops because he gets shot. I helped make sure it wasn't fatal. As Ford shot me too. Ford shot me in the arm, and then he went to shoot Bill. I kicked his gun as he shot however, so Bill got shot in the leg.
"Agh!" I cry out. Blood spills out of my arm. I cover it with my hand. "How could you?"
"You're just a demon like him now, so overwhelmed by the power." Ford says. I can feel myself wanting to kill him. Fire shoots out of my hand, luckily I move my hand just in time. I aim it towards Ford. I shoot it, but not lethally. It catches his coat on fire.
"All of you are bastards!" Bill shouts. He goes unconscious because of the blood loss. Ford gives instructions to everyone. They all start to hold hands. Oh no. With weakened power, that could kill us! Mabel looks away as Ford tells her more. She reluctantly holds hands too. That settles it. Everyone there hates me, as they would kill me. Something starts to come over me. Like a new attitude. Something is different.
"All of you are pathetic. You'd kill me! You really do hate me! If I had the will to kill, I'd wish you all would rot in Hell." I create blue fire in my hands. I put it around me as a shield. This shield wouldn't hold up. Think Dipper! Oh, I know what to do!
I rush over to Bill. A blast comes from the group, it comes straight towards Bill and me. I jump towards Bill. A light goes everywhere, then an explosion.
3rd Person POV:
Everyone gets up from being unconscious. Mabel and Ford are the first ones. Mabel looks around, making sure everyone was okay, even if she wasn't.
Mabel never actually thought about all the things she did. And because she didn't, it cost her brother. Mabel looked at the crater made by the explosion. What she saw was terrible. Laying in the middle was a burnt pine tree hat. It was Dipper's.
That was it then, Dipper was gone.
Mabel sat on the ground and started to sob. She did that to her brother. Her brother was gone.
Ford looked at the crater too. He didn't feel much, but seeing the pine tree hat made the feeling worse.
One by one everyone finally got to see the crater. They saw the hat in the middle, and they didn't dare touch or move it.
They decided what the right thing to do was. They were going to put that hat in a glass case, and they were going to honour Dipper Pines.
Because on that day foreword, Dipper Pines was dead.
Little did they know how wrong they were.
S:S:S:S:S:S:S:S:
Dipper's POV:
I woke up. I was on top of Bill.
I remembered everything clearly. I had touched Bill right in time to teleport us away. I didn't know if I could teleport, but there was no use in not trying.
Everyone I cared about hated me. Everyone. They were willing to kill me. But, Bill didn't.
What was happening to me? I actually cared about Bill?
Bill stood up for me. I look at Bill. His hair is ruffled, and his bleeding stopped.
Now that I could actually see him, he was actually stunning. I didn't know that this was actually how he looked. Bill actually cared about me. He stood up for me. He probably would have fought them for me.
I never expected Bill to do that. I look at him again. I need to get him to a hospital.
What about my injuries? Didn't I get shot in the arm?
I see blood on me, but where is the wound?
I scan myself for the wound. I can't believe it! My wound is gone! Does that mean I can heal? Maybe I can try and heal Bill.
I put my hand by his wound. Let's see. I think about healing his wound. I open my eyes. The wound is still there. Why isn't it working?
Well, instead of standing here doing nothing, I need to take Bill to the hospital.
Where did I teleport us to? We are not exactly in a city, but a civilized place. Let's see, where could a hospital be? I look around. I see an ambulance. It doesn't have its lights on, so it must be returning to the hospital with a false alarm. Time to follow it. I grab Bill and start to follow it.
This was hopeless, at least trying to carry Bill. I look around. A free bike place is there. I grab a bike and put Bill in the basket. I start to bike after the ambulance.
After a few minutes, I finally see a hospital. I pull up there. I grab Bill and take him inside.
He'll get treated here. I know it. Then, when he wakes up, I need to talk to him about this.
About everything.
A/N: So here's the first chapter! Anyway, how I'm setting this up makes it look like a whole story, but if I made it a whole story type deal, it will only be 5 chapters. So here's the deal. It's going to be filled with drabbles. This story will have a beginning and end. And I'm taking drabble prompts from you guys! So I'll tie all the drabbles together. And drabbles could be like 'first kiss' or something like that. Anyway, thanks for reading!
Also, I know this kind of seems like an AU of the Transcendence AU, but it's not.
Oh, and requests are always accepted! I also have a Tumblr for requests too: the-chocolate-nation.
Anyway, I hope you like my fic so far!
