So I've decided to keep the title the same ;), but I'm going to change the description to fit it a bit more, and attract more people, since right now it sounds like the blurb for a love fic... I hate you BillDip.
Chapter 6
Unnecessary Violence
"You're a dream demon." Those words kept repeating in his head like a broken record set to one of Mabel's Ser'val Timez songs, it was complete agony. This can't be real, this is just a trick. Bill has to be lying, right? He said this wasn't possible, he said there wasn't a way. Or was he lying about that too? It explains the powers I'm getting... No no no! This can't be happening. Does this mean I'm immortal? Does this mean I'll have to watch Mabel die? What if my powers keep growing, what if I start to become like Bill. No, this is his fault. Bill did this to me. Dipper felt a sudden and uncontrollable rage overcome him, he couldn't stop it. It had a hold on him. THIS IS BILL CIPHER'S FAULT!
Bill was annoying this immensely. Even in his weakened state, he'd still been able to toy with the boy. If was laughable how quickly it could cause the kid's mental wall's to crumble. Just that one phrase, that one fact. You did want answers, didn't you, kid? Pine Tree had spent so long searching for answers, and when he gets the biggest answer of all, he can't even handle it. You call you're self a mystery hunter? But then Bill noticed something that made his laughter die.
The triangle noticed the boy was still crouched face down on the floor, but he was shaking violently, his fists clenched like they were holding onto something. Shooting Star must have noticed something too, since she was calling to him, trying to get him to snap out of it, but it still wasn't working. And Bill soon realised he'd made a mistake, as Pine Tree's skin started to blacken till he was completely black, clothes and all. Molten yellow seeped through random brick patterns all over him.
He was getting up, no longer shaking his eyes open, but they were like holes, purely yellow in colour. The kid's mouth was opening, as if he was getting ready to scream, the inside was completely yellow too. It made even Bill feel threatened. Especially when Pine Tree broke himself away from his sister and came shooting straight for Bill at a speed so fast he could barely register if he had ran or if he had just teleported to him.
The two collided, and Dipper started screaming at Bill, so loud that it made him wonder if it could make him go deaf. But then as he hauled the triangle off the ground by his arm, the cane dropping and turning to nothing, he spoke in a voice that caused the mindscape to shake.

How much power does he have?
Dipper's free hand became aglow with a blue flame that was oh so similar to Bill's. He held the hand in front of the demon's eye, watching the fear in it.

The triangle was panicking, knowing that this was not Pine Tree he was dealing with right now. This was his demon power overwhelming him because of rage, this right now was nothing but a demon, not one speck of humanity was left. But he tried his best anyway. "I don't know about you, but this was actually you're fault. Do you think I get a good thing out of this? I'm weak as hell, I was finding it hard to get here, and I can't even put up a fight. If you're going to destroy me, what would you get out of it? Don't you want to keep you're humanity, if you do this to me, it'll be lost to you forever."
That caused some hesitation in the monster's movement, but he just growled slightly. Speaking again.

Bill watched as that hand came closer, the burning light causing his eye to water. Was this his fate? To be burned up and destroyed by a flame that had use to have been his. He closed his eye to wait for his fate, what could he do anyway? He felt pathetic, being too weak to even fight back.
"Dipper!" Bill kept his eye closed , but he knew that voice was belonged to Shooting Star. Was she going to try and bring her brother back? The triangle wondered at the possibility of that, would she be able to stop this demon? Bill highly doubted a human, even if they were once related, could stop Pine Tree now.
Mabel was running up to dipper and grabbed hold of his arm, tried to pull it back as the flame stared to sear Bill's face. "This isn't you! Snap out of it!"
That must have stirred a reaction, because the demon stopped burning Bill momentarily to say.

Mabel shuddered slightly, hearing her brother call her the same thing as Bill. Maybe he'd gained more than just powers from him. But that didn't matter right now, she had to snap Dipper out of whatever rage he was in. This wasn't the brother she knew and loved. "He's the monster? Dipper, look at yourself! You're the monster right now. This isn't you, come on, let's go and leave this stupid triangle alone. We can go and try out your levitation again, maybe I can walk you around like a balloon!"
Dipper turned his head to look at her, extinguishing his flame for the time, and let his arm drop. He still held Bill tightly so he could continue when this talk was finished.

She kept her smile, shaking her head. "Don't worry, bro bro. You'll never be alone. I'm here, and I won't leave you... If I go and... die.

She walked to the front of him, watching as his eye's followed her and she took hold of his hand when he extinguished the flame again. "Don't be so silly, silly. You don't need to worry about stuff like that right now, don't be all gloom and doom. It's probably not even as bad as you think. You just need to calm down and stop thinking about the bad stuff. You need to think positive, like me! Come on Dipper, I need you, don't get silly on me." And she wrapped him into a hug.
That was enough. Dipper let go of Cipher, letting the triangle drop onto the floor in a heap, thankful to be alive. The blackness started to disappear from Dipper as he hugged Mabel back. Eye's closed as he let the anger drain away, allowing the tears to flow. And as he started to change back to normal, Mabel pulled away from the hug, still smiling, even when she noticed small changes about his appearance. His ear's were pointed, like an elf, which she thought was incredibly cute, and his teeth had sharpened slightly, which wasn't so cute, making him look even more like a demon.
"Mabel... I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me... I..." Mabel started hugging him again to shut him up.
"Just shut up, okay? Don't worry about it. We need to figure out what do with this, alright? And how to tell the others about.. you."
Dipper sighed, looking at her as he managed to pull away from the hug, the last of the tears cried. "This isn't going to go well. They either won't believe you, or they'll decide that you mean I'm dead. Oh no... What about mom and dad! How will they react?"
"You need to think positive, alright? We'll think of a plan for what's happening now and then worry about that when we need to, which when I'm done with you will be never!"
Dipper couldn't help but laugh slightly as his sister tried to put a positive spin on the situation, but his attention was soon drawn to the struggling demon that they'd forgotten about.
Bill was lying crumbled on the ground, his eye was bloodshot from the ordeal with Dipper moments ago, and he was trying his best to stand. "You... little..." He tried to speak, but find it almost impossible because of how weak he was.
Dipper and Mabel watched him struggle, either one of them sure if they should help him. But he looked like he didn't need it, since moment's later, Bill disappeared into nothing as he used whatever strength he had left to go back to the Dreamscape.
Mabel blinked as she woke up, completely forgetting she had been asleep this whole time, she stumbled slightly, but Dipper was there to steady her. "I guess it must be pretty confusing. I think I must be on the same plane as when Bill talks to people, since I didn't fall asleep or anything, he just... appeared."
She looked at him. "That's so cool! But that makes me wonder... You're getting Bill's power's right? So why can't you just put people to sleep like he does and talk to them? Maybe that's how we can tell the others!"
Dipper froze, smiling at the thought. "Mabel.. you're right! The only problem is... I have no idea how to do anything."
Mabel put an arm around him. "Then we'll just have to try it and see what happens. Come on, let's go get cereal." She started walking to the kitchen, before realising. "Wait... can you even eat now?"
"I don't really feel hungry, so I guess not." Dipper frowned, feeling slightly sad that all the things he'd used to be able to do were out of reach now, until Mabel giggled and said.
"More cereal for me then!"
DEMONIC TRANSLATION (For the humans that are unable to understand Dipper's unholy voice.)
(In order of appearance)
You did this to me! This is your fault, Cipher!
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't burn you up into non-existence right now.
Humanity is nothing but weakness, don't try and save yourself from your fate. You will be destroyed right here and now.
Get back, Shooting Star. I have to end this monster.
You think things can go back to normal, do you? I'm a Dream Demon. I cannot exist in the physical world and everyone will think I'm dead. What have I got to go back to if I don't do this? What do I have that isn't revenge?
No, I don't. I'm immortal. You'll go and die and what will I do? I'll be here for all eternity, alone.
This has nothing to do with Small Helper 8. That's just a movie. Remembering you won't be enough.
So there we go, the first break down from Dipper. And this is just from the realization that he's a demon now. Imagine what it'll be like when he starts seeing the future and the past? So if you're a bit confused, the form that Dipper took can be seen here, on the transcendence au on tumblr:

Since I may be a terrible describer. (No kidding)
And if the speech of Dipper was difficult to read, thats the point! It's meant to sound demonic and scary. So I hope that Zalgo text gives you nightmares tonight.
I'm not sure if they'll be able to reveal Dipper to the others in the next chapter or the chapter after that, but you'll just have to wait and see.
And I've noticed we're starting to slow down in the reviews department, which I'm okay with if you're just so amazed by my writing that it caused your arms to drop off. Just, I like to get reviews to know that people actually care about this fanfic, favourites and follows only go so far. But don't worry, I don't care that much that I'd stop this fanfic because of a lack of reviews, because I just love writing this fanfic. So see you next week for another chapter ;)
