Ford stumbled towards his family, desperately attempting to stand. His eye twitched and it was clear that even with the metal plate inside his head and any encryptions he might have placed on himself, the man's sanity was depleting.
Stan ran forward catching his twin, digging his hands into the shredded signature coat, attempting to steady the other man. "C'mon Ford," he muttered, hooking the other man's arm around his neck to keep him from toppling over.
Dipper and Mabel rushed forwards after Stan, and placed Ford's other arm around their shoulders.
That's when the world shook. The family fell forward and the high pitched laughter of the dream demon that had haunted them the whole summer rang sharply through the air.
"Look at this," the creature hissed, his voice suddenly deepening. "How touching, you all thought you would end up all safe and sound after you ruined everything," at this Bill Cipher turned a dangerous blood red, his eye veins becoming prominent and deadly red flames lit his hands.
The town of Gravity Falls was crumbling. The Fearamid high over the town was crumbling brick by brick, each one falling to the world below and disintegrating. The demons that Bill had brought with him were being sucked into the portal high in the sky, directly over the town.
Dipper and Mabel pulled themselves up, glancing at their Grunkles who were sprawled across the ground. "And here's the two that made this all happen," Bill growled, his eye falling on the younger set of twins. "Shooting Star and Pine Tree."
The world shook again and the two were surrounded by flames, keeping them trapped in Bill's grasp. Stan sat up, "Kids!" he called, pulling himself up as quickly as he could.
"Can it," Bill said, shooting a flame towards Stan, causing the man to fall back, his head hitting the ground with a painful thud.
"Now, lookee here," Bill said, bringing the flames around the Pines' kids higher, until the only thing they could see were the blood red flames and Bill's furious eye. "I admit it was cute, dare I say even fun at first, your sad little attempts to ruin my plans, but this has gone too far."
As if to punctuate this, Bill threw a flame towards the two and it hit the ground beside Mabel causing her to stumble into Dipper. Her brother caught her and his eyes darted around the area, trying to come up with some plan, some sort of escape in which he could save their lives.
"Give it up, Pine Tree," Bill cackled, tossing another flame into their prison, this one with much less aim. "No point in being a hero, it's over."
Mabel dug her fingers into Dipper's arms, shutting her eyes as tight as she could. "Dipper…"she muttered, nails digging into her brother's already scratched and bruised arms.
Dipper shut his eyes tight, drawing his sister close. This is it, he thought, forcing his eyes open to watch the deadly pyramid above them.
If Bill had a mouth, it would no doubt be pulled into a devilish, too wide grin. The kind that says, I won. The smug look in Bill's eye, only sent a rage through Dipper and he started to open his mouth, when the world began violently shaking and a harsh, merciless wind erupted.
Bill's smug, victorious look morphed into one of surprise. The flames around the children sputtered out.
Mabel peeked and glanced up at Dipper. "What's happening?" she asked, glancing around the area.
Dipper shook his head, just as confused as she was. He stood her up and they rushed over to Stan and Ford, who were both unconscious. Stan bleeding from the spot on his head where he had hit it. Mabel lifted Stan's head and hunched over his unconscious body, tears forming in her eyes. Dipper began tearing the bottom of his shirt, attempting to create a sort of sponge that would minimize Stan's bleeding.
That's when Bill let out a bloodcurdling, desperate scream.
"No!" he cried, trying desperately to fight the wind that seemed to be sucking him towards the rift. He managed to get a hold on a tree, and pulled himself close, refusing to let him recognize his loss. "This isn't over!" he shouted, the wind pulling harder and harder.
The dream demon's eye scurried around and his eye fell onto the Pines' family. "I'M NOT FINISHED," he screeched, risking to free one of his arms. The tree he had in his grasp was starting to uproot and realization filled his eye. He focused his attention onto the family and with his free hand summoned an azure flame.
"Hey Pine Tree!" Bill shouted. Dipper's head shot up, just in time to see a deadly blue flame rocketing towards him.
That's when everything went black and all he could hear was a deafening, dangerous high pitched laughter.
