The Tale of William Nolis
Chapter Fourteen: The Burning Day

Three years. Three years later and William was sitting in the living room, twiddling his thumbs and mumbling nonsense to himself. Norman and Clarissa soon came in, with smiles on their faces. The latter giggled a little, "William, sweetie."

This made him look up at them with confusion, raising a brow. His mom had never called him that. Something was wrong.

"We're sorry about how we'd been treating you," Norman tried to keep a straight face.

"Y..you are?" the thought of his parents finally loving him blew apart any thought of apathy and doubt.

Clarissa stepped forward, "We'd seen the errors of our ways. Now, let's hug it out, shall we, and then get some of that flavored cream you love so much?"

William stared at them, tearing up, before he got up and ran up to them, into their arms. Something about this didn't seem right, however.

And he was proven right when a searing pain went through his heart.

Laughter rung out, and the pale green square held the knife now, having pulled it out of his son, "I can't believe you actually fell for that."

"We can't believe it," Clarissa corrected him.

"Oh, that's right, but, wait, we can," came the next reply from Norman, as he twirled the bloody knife. "You're not smart."

"You're not smart. You're not smart. You're not smart…"

As he lay there, possibly dying, something stirred within him and then something else snapped. He felt his chest heat up, and his head ached, but this time…

His wound healed completely. His parents were shocked at the display, and backed up as he stood up and glared at them with such rage and power. He overheated, but it didn't hurt, and he was practically glowing.

"How dare you..? infidels!" he raised a hand, aiming it towards them, "I can't believe I trusted you for that last second!"

Norman and Clarissa held each other, as they were literally cut down by nothing. "Die."

A fountain of purple blood spilled from them, and dirtied the floor and himself, but he hardly cared at this point. His bandaids fell off and his cursed dark circle disappeared, as he raised his hands and made sure they were deader than dead, electrical pulses coursing through their corpses. As he stared with no remorse, something else rose up and took him...

The hot pink star soon came downstairs, wondering what all the racket was about, when he saw the corpses and his brother standing over them.

"William! what have you done?!" the star was about to launch into a tirade, but one murderous, and insane, look from the triangle stopped him in his tracks.

"The deed is already done, pal! they're dead and never coming back!" he then laughed, "but why stop there? there's a whole world of wrongdoers and unimaginatives out there and I plan to liberate it!"

"Wh..what's wrong with you?" Gabriel backed away a bit and towards his parents. He realized he was one of the wrongdoers and wanted to run. But where?

"You mean what's right with me! the power… it's coursing through my veins, Gabe.." William raised a shaky hand and stared at it, "I can feel it. And you're too good for murder. No…"

"You killed my parents! you might as well kill me!"

"News flash, kid! they are not your parents!" the triangle narrowed his eye, as Gabe advanced and tackled him to the ground. "So you shouldn't care about them!

"No! give them back!" a struggle was had, but the triangle was clearly winning the fight despite having been the weaker of the two.

"Nope!" he laughed, pinning the star down. Gabriel wondered where he got all this strength. "You've betrayed me. So why should I help you?"

Gabriel would have bit his lip if he had one, and William stood up, holding the star by the arm with one hand and slashing the air with the other, opening a pocket dimension that was completely and purely black. "Maybe some time in this dimension will do you some good!"

"No, no, no! wait, please… I'll do anything…" the star resorted to begging. The energy from this "dimension" felt dark and cold, and he could feel it sucking him in.

"Say sayonara!" and then he tossed the star in and promptly closed the gate. His screams were the last he'd ever hear.

William snickered, which then rose into full on laughter, as he snapped his fingers and set the whole house on fire. The golden shape then took it upon himself to greet the thousands of shapes that had come out to see the giant, red X in the murky sky.

Karlos and Hector were among them, and they muttered to themselves, as William Nolis fluttered down upon them with his hands raised, and he began to kill the shapes with lightning bolts. And the way they died started just like his overloads. A just reward for their treachery.

"William! what are you doing?!" Hector called out, concerned for both the situation and his friend.

"Giving this dimension what it deserves! and you two can join me!" he stopped the killing for a moment, as the remaining shapes ran for their lives.

Karlos and Hector exchanged glances and nodded, running over to William's side. The steel blue rhombus raised a valid point, "But where will we go, William?"

The shape, now called a demon by others, bowed, and shook himself, "No. Not William. William Nolis is dead. Call me.. Bill Cipher!" he then pointed at the two who were only worried for their friend, "and you two will now be christened Kryptos and Hectorgon! just stay right here, and you'll be fine!"

He then floated to the sky, "Now.. time to take care of some things…" and then over to the school, laughing as he melted it down with a large laser from his eye while everyone was inside it, "Who needs school? it's nothing but a bunch of rules and regulations!" he pretended to gag. "No more of that!"

He then pointed to the office building and zapped that, grinning, "The government is useless, pointless dribble. It had been and always will be!"

The shapes down below watched in horror as he destroyed everything, and everyone. The schools. The government offices. Houses. They realized at the last minute that they caused this.

And last but not least…

Bill Cipher giggled as he approached her house, melting down others as he went. His fingers twitched with the itch for destruction. The demon grew bigger and pulled the house right off its foundation, and shook it like it was a dollhouse, laughing like a madman.

"Oh, Namina! come out and plaaay!~"

She didn't, as she was knocked unconscious, and then Bill ripped the roof off the house, looking inside for the white pentagon. He soon found her, and reached in to pick her up, but felt a poke at his back. It turned out to be a cannonball, and the demon dropped the house and turned around.

"Fire!" a commander, a trapezoid, ordered, and other triangles obliged, pulling the cannon's string and letting loose another cannonball, which the golden triangle blocked this time around with his hand.

"Haha, that tickled," he snickered, and then vaporized the entire army with his eye, their screams music to his non-existent ears as they all melted, leaving no bodies behind.

He then returned to his business, and saw that the lady was finally awake, "Oh, good, you get to hear this. I hope you die the most painful death."

"W..William?" she gasped, backing up into the wall.

"NO!" he frowned harshly, "my name is Bill Cipher now!" he then grinned sleazily. "You wanted money, Namina? well, HOW ABOUT THIS?!" he materialized giant gold to fall upon her, and she didn't have time to run out the way. It crushed her, but she wasn't dead just yet. Her death though.. was indeed.. slow and painful.

"Boom!" the demon laughed, letting go of the home and shrinking down to size.

Just then the whispers returned, Let us out. Let us free.

And this time he understood. He placed both hands upon his top point and closed his eye, concentrating. The area vibrated, and soon they appeared from the X in the sky, his famous henchmen and more. A purple monster with a head that looked like bread rumbled.

"Finally.." a red demon sighed. "Now what do you wish us to do?"

It all made sense now. Those were the silhouettes. And he had one thing for them to do.

"Liberate this place," was his simple reply, as he raised his hands, Kryptos and Hectorgon almost reluctantly coming alongside him, "liberate it all! we're gonna have such fun!"

And so, this dimension became known as the Nightmare Realm soon after they finished. A scrawling, colorful land of swirls and the dead. Bill built his throne where his house used to be.

But he, after a million years, realized that they couldn't maintain this place forever. That it was slowly dying and decaying. He had to find a way to fix that, or settle upon a new place entirely. And he had his sights set on a world with a place called…

...Gravity Falls.
