Chapter Nineteen: The Monster Vs. The Beast
~Bill's POV~
"I love you too..." I replied before Dipper hung up on me. I put my phone back into my pocket and sighed.
"So, you think my father really is in there?" Toby asked me, pointing to the door.
Toby and I had stopped at a purple square shaped door that read "King Tad" in silver handwriting. I nearly face palmed. "Perhaps."
"Alright, lets go." He whispered before going towards the door handle to open it.
I stopped the young boy. "Toby, I just wanted to say that if my daughter had to be friends and fall in love with any other half demon, I'm glad she chose you."
Toby seemed to smile. "Thank you, sir."
I smiled back. Maybe this guy wasn't so bad after all. And maybe I can see him and Diana Belle living happily ever after...
But now wasn't the time to think ahead. It was time to face off against Tad and break his curse. It was the only hope we have to stop this madness. I reached towards the door handle and opened it.
The room we entered was very... Empty. It was all grey and brown, but there were lanterns around the wall and a crystal chandelier above us. There was also a flight of huge steps leading towards a tall grey throne where Tad sat, wearing his same black outfit and a spiky onyx crown.
"Well, well, well~. If it isn't the "One Eyed Beast" and my darling son." Tad chuckled at us.
"Tad, we don't want to fight you, please stop this." I pleaded, walking towards him.
"I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about, Cipher." The purple haired male replied.
"Yes you do! What you're doing to everyone! Dad, you have to stop this before it's too late." Toby begged, looking up at his father.
"And why should I listen to my traitor of a son?!" He barked at Toby, causing him to flinch.
"Strange, this is not you. I know that you've changed, just like I have. The Tad that changed would never abuse his child or want to take over the world." I explained.
Tad continued look at him, silent. I could tell he was thinking or wanting to change back. His eyes flashed from blue back to purple. I was close.
"Besides, would Poppy want you to do this?" I finished. But I knew that I had crossed a line.
Tad growled low and stood up, grabbing me by my neck. "Poppy is dead. THANKS TO YOU!"
I choked from his tight grip then kicked him in the stomach, causing him to groan and let go of me. I floated away with a confused look. "Thanks to me?!"
"YOU KILLED POPPY!" He roared to me, flying towards me before I flew away.
I panicked and began to throw golden fireballs at him. "What?! Why on earth would I kill your wife? I didn't even know her!"
"You killed her because you couldn't handle me being happy! You wanted to see me miserable while you were happy!" Tad replied, dodging the fireballs and throwing purple ones.
Toby flew up and grabbed his father's arms. "No, dad! Mom's a-"
But he didn't finish when Tad swung Toby away to the ground. "You stay out of this, boy!"
I heard Toby growl before flying back up to his father, making a purple crystal sword and began swinging. "I will no longer be your punching bag!"
I grinned and made my own crystal sword while Tad made his. I helped out Toby as all three of us battled. Mine and Tad's swords collided as we glared at each other.
"Give up?!" He growled with a grin.
"Not as long as Dipper and my daughter are still breathing." I replied, pulling my sword away as we went back to battling.
Eventually, he got the upper hand and knocked out Toby sword, throwing him on the ground once again. "Little boys shouldn't be fighting their fathers."
I glared at Tad, getting ready to fight him more. "Tad, listen to me! You're under a spell from the Reverse Twins and your grief. You have to snap out of it!"
"Shut up!" He yelled before flinging his sword at me again, "This is how our final fight was meant to be! The Monster Vs. The Beast!"
I looked over at the door to see it being kicked on. I looked at Tad before pushing him back. "I wouldn't be so sure about that." With a wave of my hand, my magic opened the door to the room.
In came Dipper, Diana Belle, Mabel, Blair, Winter, and Will who carried an unconscious woman that I guessed was Tad's lost wife Poppy. "Tad, Bill, stop this fighting!" Blair waved her hands to us.
I stopped and floated over to them, embracing my husband and my daughter. "Sorry we're late." Diana said.
"It's okay. I'm just glad you two aren't hurt." I laughed softly.
"A few scraps, but we'll be okay." Dipper replied.
"What are you all doing here? This fight is between Cipher and I!" Tad roared at them.
Toby stood up and ran to us, taking Poppy from Will's arms and ran up towards his father. "Dad, mom's alive!"
Tad's eyes widened. "But that's impossible... She's died! You're lying!"
"We're not lying! She was out under a spell by the Reverse Twins to make it look like she died. But she was just asleep. The Reverse Twins wanted you to take revenge on all of us so they could get Will back." Winter explained.
Tad calmed down, floating down to his son and his sleeping wife. "How do I know this isn't a trick?"
"Feel her pulse, dad." Will replied with a soft smile.
Tad seemed a bit scared but then put his finger on her neck. He jumped and pulled away.
"See? She's alive. She's been alive all this time." Mabel gave a wide smile.
Tad moved towards Poppy once again and took her in his arms, laying her down on the ground. Soon enough, he leaned into her as their lips brushed together. A flash of light blinded us for a second.
Soon enough, the light ended as a dark spirit escaped Tad's body. It looked around before beginning to fly away.
"Oh hell no!" Diana yelled, making a golden fireball and throwing it at the black shadow, causing it to scream and burst into ashes all around us.
Dipper breathed out a sigh of relief. "It's finally over..."
"Yeah, it is." Blair smiled happily.
Tad pulled away from his wife as they both opened their eyes. Tad's eyes had reverted back to their light blue color but his hair and suit remained the same. "T-Taddy?" Poppy asked weakly.
"Y-yes, my Poppy. I'm here!" Tad exclaimed, pulling his wife into a deep hug.
"Momma!" Toby exclaimed before running over to his father and mother, getting into the hug as both of the men cried.
"What a bunch of wussies." Mabel commented with a chuckle.
"Mabel! Let them have their moment!" Dipper ordered as he hit his twin.
"Come here, ladies." Will smiled, pulling Blair and Winter into a deep hug.
"Can we hug like them too?" Diana asked, obviously knowing the answer.
I laughed and picked up my husband and my daughter, hugging them. "Yes we can!"
Dipper smiled as he and Diana returned the hug. "So, the madness is over, huh?"
"No, the war is over. But the madness shall go on forever in our family." I replied, pulling Dipper into a kiss as the sunlight hit each of our families.
"Hey, I want a hug!" Mabel pouted before she was pulled into our hug.
Stereotypical Disney ending, I know. I don't why I wrote it like this, honestly, I just figured that everything could use a happy ending for Tad, because I really did like the theory that he was a demon and was Bill's friend. Anyway, please make sure to fav, follow, and comment because there's only one more chapter left!
