Prologue: Dream Demon

Ford Pines found himself standing in the middle of a empty field, it was like something out of a movie. "Hello?" He called out, but to no avail as his voice echoed around him.

The place was completely empty and hollow. This was not like the dreams he was used to having. Most of the time his dreams were about math or winning the nobel prize. A giant cornfield seemed like something out of a old cheesy horror movie from the eighties. The glory years for Stanford Pines life, before he got sucked into a interdimensional portal and had to deal with the universe..

"Hey sixer, miss me...Admit it you missed me" Came a high pitch giggling sound.

Ford's eyes widened, as the giggling turned into the sight of insane laughter "I know that laugh, show yourself!"

Below him the grassy area began to turn a dark shade of blue, forming the shame of a three sided triangle, with a large eye in the center of it. The energy from the flame began to form as the triangle took shape in a two dimensional form. On it's top tip it had a little top hat, as well as two tiny arms and legs that looked like something out of a stick figure.

"Well, well, well, well...Well well well well well well well…" It kept saying over and over again in a fast pace multiplying itself so that it completely surrounded Ford.

Ford glared at it through his glasses, "Bill Cipher"

Ford had thought he had seen the end of this horrible Dream Demon once he finally had returned back home to Gravity Falls. Guess he was wrong to assume that he was able to bury everything from his past completely.

"At your service" He said tipping its hat becoming a singular figure again, "Good to see you four eyes"

"What do you want!"

"Ah come on Stanford Pines, your my best pal...Admit you missed me for all that time stuck in the multiverse, boy wouldn't it suck to go through that again".

Ford just kept a steady pace, he didn't have any of his weapons with him underneath his ragged looking jacket. He had known Bill long enough though to know that he was a danger to both him, his family and that of the entire world. If he wasn't stopped, terrible things could possibly happen.

"Again I'll ask you, what do you want"

Bill just put a arm around his shoulder, despite not having a mouth and only a eye, he looked and sounded smug, "Ah admit it Stanford, you knew I'd be back, you think keeping that portal was going to stop me. See I've been making deals preparing for the big day...Sadly I also am here to say well….Goodbye, at least for now".

"Goodbye?" Ford raised a eyebrow, "Goodbye for what"

"From you, your family, see...Here's the thing, lets just say new prospects have arisen again. Things from our past our coming to fruition...Remember old Ansem the Wise"

"Our past, Ansem the Wise..." Ford looked intrigued, he had a long past and done many deeds, "Wait, you don't mean"

Bill nodded, "Yes i do…." His voice turned menacing and more demonic, "Soon the ultimate power will once again reveal itself to the worlds, and my chance will come again!"

In his eye Ford could see the image of a Key shaped weapon floating around him, before BIll blinked at it returned to it's slit like form again. Ford recognized that weapon instantly. He had scene and studied it in his travels. Even seen it up close and in person on multiple occastion. If this was what Bill Cipher sought out then his plans were now even more dangerous than he could have possibly realized.

"No! I will never let you have it" Ford declared

"I'm afraid that you won't have much say in the matter Fordsie, things beyond my control are about to start going down to the worlds. Sadly I have nothing to do with it, but it's gonna affect Gravity Falls, so you might wanna gat that precious family of yours ready before the big day strikes,

"No!"

Ford had just returned back home to his family. Sure he still wasn't exactly used to them after being stuck in interdimensional exile for the last thirty years, but he didn't want to see any harm come before them. His great niece and nephew Dipper and Mabel in particular were to precious to let anything bad happen to them. He would fight for them no matter what the cost would be.

Bill just laughed seeing Ford's determination. "Oh Fordsie ever the fighter, well unfortunately this won't be your battle. The test will come, and if he succeeds then that's when I can step in and have my fun"

"Who will have it," Ford asked sounding desperate, "Who will wield a Keyblade"

"I don't know really...I've seen his face, and I know what he will be for a long time, very, very long time...But I honestly don't know his name. Guess the mysteries of the Keyblade even allude an all seeing being like me ha! Funny! You'd think being a demon of pure energy would allow me to see that kinda stuff...But no. As for you will you can try to stop me but you'll slip up and when you do" .

Bill snapped his finger and instantly the field turned to fire.

"Get out of here," Ford yelled, "You have no dominion in our world"

"Maybe not right now Stanford Pines but things change…..THINGS CHANGE MWUA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Images flashed in Ford's mind before he finally awoke. He was back in the shack. Everything was peaceful. No Bill, no fire, just peace. But there could be no peace of mind now that what he heard. A Keyblade was appearing again and Bill was after it. He didn't know anything but that.

"I have to warm them" Ford said knowing what must be done, "He's coming!"
