Here is part two, the part where the story actually kicks off with our protagonist! (´・ω・｀)
I hope you enjoy! (b^_^)b
Part Two:
I was having a nightmare, first it was endless oblivion, then like a hot wax sculpture the scenery melted into view.
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS...
It didn't take long to recognize the area and that everything was burning. The wind carried with it repetitive, mumbles echoes,
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS...
I heard someone shout for help and I ran to find them.
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS...
I spotted a figure under some rubble however before I could reach them blue flames shot up from the ground, surrounding me, rendering me helpless to help the helpless. People were screaming, begging for help, I tried to run out of the flames but they pushed me back.
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS...
…who would've guessed it would be you! This will be good! Time to get this weirdmageddon started! Hahahaha...let's finish this deal and start the show…
I snapped my head back, Bill was floating inches from my face. He used his hand to lift my messy brown hair that was covering my humiliating birthmark.
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS…
My head began to burn, "BILL!?" Why wont that stupid chanting stop-it's driving me crazy.
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS…
"W-what-"
Hurry it up kid, we don't have all night. Let's wrap things up here before you wake up so we can finish outside, haha. I can't wait to see what happens next!
My mind was fuzzy from the pain, I grabbed at my hair, anything for the pain to end. I reached out my hand, I could feel Bill smiling.
…
My eyes shot open as I sprang out of my bed, panting heavily, covered in sweat, brain buzzing with residual pain. I pulled out my phone, 4 am. Way too early to wake Mabel. I went to the bathroom and had a quick shower to wash off the sweat.
I didn't shake his hand did I? I- can't remember…
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS…
The chanting didn't stop whispering in my brain even after all this. I don't think I'll be sleeping again for the rest of the night. Is BIll really gone? I need some air, I'll talk to Mabel when she is up.
I looked over to Mabel's sleeping figure, she looked so peaceful, I wish I could be like that, not a care in the world. I decided to take a walk in the woods to take my mind off of things. The sun is starting to rise so I'm not really worried too much about running into anything. I grabbed Stan's pocket knife from the coffee table under a stack of papers-just in case. He wouldn't miss it, probably forgot he even had it.
I closed the door to the shack carefully to not alert Ford who was probably also up at this hour, toying with some invention or trying to solve some ancient mystery. I chose a random direction and began walking thinking about the nightmares, I had nightmares about weirdmageddon before, but they were always just memories, nothing like this.
There was a thunk and I grabbed my now foot, "oww!"
Whatever I just kicked is really soli-"BILL!"
Ahead of me, half buried in the ground was a statue of Bill, hand outstretched, ready to make a deal. I chuckled "fat chance"
… DORUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA. SOULUS…
I turned, stepping away then the air became still and all color began fading from the world.
Well, well, well. What do I have here?
My body stiffened as I turned back towards the statue, Sitting atop the stone figue was none other than dream demon Bill Cipher.
… DORUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA. SOULUS…
"H-how?" I fell back in shock.
"We have a deal-"
"N-no! That was a dream!"
Bill waved his finger in the air, "Naive Pinetree! Hahaha! That was half the deal, time to make it official.
My eyes grew wide, how could that even happen!? "How did you appear in my dreams anyways, I thought we destroyed you!"
"Awe, don't beat yourself up kid, I'm an all powerful, all knowing being! There was no way you could destroy me!"
Suddenly my hand began to move to statue Bill's outstretched hand, "you ready to seal the deal?"
… DORUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA. SOULUS…
Seal the deal? I never heard the terms of said deal!
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS…
Where was that chanting coming from!?
I forced my body to the ground before Bill could make the deal with me. Without hesitation, I bolted back towards the Mystery Shack. I could hear Bill laughing as I ran, it's only a matter of time before you're mine, you can't resist the deal for long!
I slammed the door to the shack, panting heavily, completely forgetting my initial plan to not wake anyone up.
"Where were you?"
I nearly jumped out of my skin, "Grunkle Ford! Nothing-I mean nowhere! I wasn't talking to anyone-er- I mean… I gotta go!" I ran past him and up to the attic. I need to calm down.
I closed the attic door and slumped against it.
"You okay, have a nightmare?" Mabel was sitting up in her bed texting, I can't believe her friends would be up so early, "wanna talk about it?"
"I-I...Bill..."
She froze as the name left my lips and lowered her phone, "What about him?"
I told Mabel about my encounter with Bill and how he somehow was able to force my body to move without possessing it as well as the chanting that wouldn't go away.
"We need to tell Grunkle Ford. He'll know what to do." Before I could protest, she was dragging me downstairs shouting for our Grunkles.
I told them exactly what I told Mabel. "Hm… This-isn't good Dipper. Making deals with Bill always end badly."
"I-I don't know what happened… I was having a nightmare, then I saw Bill, there was pain-that's all I remember." I frowned.
"I thought we got rid of him when we erased grunkle Stan's memories. How could he be in Dipper's dream?" Mabel is really worried about me, then again-I'm not really loving this situation either.
"I… need to check a few things. Mabel, we can't let Dipper fall into Bill's hands, who knows what he has planned!"
That made me feel worse, what would Bill need me for...
… DORUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA. SOULUS…
I heard the chant again and frowned a little. Mabel must have noticed because she grabbed my arm and hugged it.
"I'll protect you broseph." That didn't reasure me but I smiled at her anyway, "we should do something to take your mind off of things while our Grunkle investigates. It is our birthday today! I'll make us a cake, Soos and Wendy will be stopping by! Candy, Grenda and Pacifica too!"
I nodded, "Sounds fun. Are you sure I can't help?" I'm terrible with goodbyes.
"I can handle things on my end. If Bill really didn't die four years ago, figuring out a way to stop him for good should be our top priority. We also don't know what he wants with you or how that fits into his plan, so for the time being don't leave the shack alone. Having everyone here will help. You go home tonight. If he is back, he can't get past the barrier. Enjoy your birthday! You only turn 18 once!"
I nodded and smiled, he's right. We'll be out of here tonight and the barrier will keep Bill in here.
The next couple hours were eventful, I guess, we saw Wendy who just got back from vacation with her fiance. She was now working at the school as a teaching assistant, her fiance was a contractor for a building company in the nearest city, I forgot the name of it. She couldn't stay too long, and had to prepare for the coming school year. Soos and Melody invited us to their wedding in March next year. Mabel accepted for the both of us. Shouting gleefully at the couple. Candy and Grenda joined in.I had a good chat with Pacifica, she changed a lot these past few years, her blonde hair was braided back and she no longer wore expensive brands. She was clad in a baby blue halter top with white chinos. Talking to me about her playthrough of Luigi's Mansion 3. Her family had been able to pull themselves out of a financial rut, rebuilding the Northwest empire in record time. During that time, Pacifica took to games like FF14 and found a following as a livestreamer.
It was cake time! Everyone sang Happy Birthday to us and we sliced the cake and handed it out to everyone. Mabel smashed her cake on me and we all laughed-after I voice my annoyance. I stood up from my place at the table brushing some cake off my shoulder, "I'm gonna go wash this off."
I got nods of approval-I would have showered anyways- and went upstairs to shower and change my clothes. I finished my shower, and got ready to head back down and join the others, it is approaching 4 o'clock, our bus is scheduled for 7. The party will probably be ending soon. I opened the door to the attic then next thing I knew I was walking through the trees.
"M-MABEL!" I don't care how far she is or I am, she's the first person I think to shout for.
I was pulling against myself as hard as I could, but it was barely slowing me down. I managed to feel my pockets but I didn't have my phone on me.
"DIPPER!" she was panting, she must have been chasing me for a while.
I looked back, thank god, "Mabel! I'm not doing this! I can't stop! Do something!"
"On it!" she tackled me, " I'm so glad you're a weakling." she had me pinned beneath her and she pulled out her phone, "The others will be here any minute...hah... You just ran right out the door… hah...we all chased after you but I was the fastest!" Mabel took off my hat and began braiding my hair, knowing I couldn't do anything in protest.
"Dipper, Mabel!" The leaves rustled as the older mystery twins stepped forward, followed by the others at the party.
Stan laughed at the site of Mabel braiding my hair while Ford questioned the scene. He was holding a futuristic looking gun, "This is a prototype I've been working on, in case Bill ever came back. Just in case..."
There was a laugh in the air, "oh Sixer, I didn't know you still cared! You think you can stop my plans but it's too late he is mine! The spell was spoken, we already agreed on it. All that's left is..." He held his hand out, pointed to me.
"I don't want to be a soul floating around for the rest of my life!" I was freaking out as Mabel helped me to my feet, Soos lifted me up to keep me from running."I am not dying so some dorito can end the world!"
Ford turned to Bill, "It's impossible! I burned those pages!"
Looks like you missed a copy, haha!
"Grunkle Ford, what's happening? What is he talking about?" Mabel was clinging tight onto my arm.
"Naivety runs in the family. Time to give me that body of yours Pinetree!"
Mabel shouted for Soos to run as my body flailed around. Ford fired his weapon but it just phased through BIll making him laugh harder.
"I don't have a body sixer, did you really expect that to work? I'm tired of waiting, do it Pinetree! NOW!" his form flashed red for a moment.
Blue flames began to surround me, forcing Soos to let go and pushing everyone back, they all shouted in protest but my I ignored them, my brain beginning to boil. All I could hear was that stupid chanting,
...BIRUUVOS TRISOLIA JOUBILUS VESIZIA SOULUS...
I reached my hand and grasped the cold stone hand, it would ease my pain. I felt the blue flame crawl up by arm as the statue turned back into Bill and he began tearing my soul from my body, me screaming the whole time.
"Hahaha! Game Ove-"
A red beam shot through Bill, disintegrating half of his form, he screamed in pain. I screamed in pain, then everything went black.
…
I opened my eyes and sat up, I was in my bed in the mystery shack, but everything was in black and white. Where am I?
This is your mindscape Pinetree. Not for long though haha!
"I don't understand..." I shouted into the air, looking around for Bill.
Take a good look at yourself! Sixer messed you up real bad.
I didn't want to believe him, but something did feel...off. I reluctantly looked myself over, I was missing half of my body!
Hate to say it but you're not alone Pinetree…
Bill popped in front of me, he must just and eye with arms and legs, maybe about an eighth of his glowing body remained. The world around us began to crumble, falling away into the abyss.
Times running out, if we don't join together and make a new soul now, we will both cease to exist.
"Wait wha-I need an explanation before I can decide something like this. How do I know you are telling the truth didn't you just try to steal my body?"
Ugh! Even in a situation like this, you still think I'd be lying, I may be a demon, but even I don't want to die. The quick version, somehow, Sixer was able to shoot our souls, normally not possible but… anything's possible with me I guess. Haha. The energy he shot us permanently damaged our individual souls, without a complete soul, your body dies, and the fractured souls, us, fade into nothing.
Bill never gave straight answers like this, plus this impending doom feeling in the pit of my stomach keeps growing,
"I-I d-don't want to d-die" I held my hand out to Bill, for the third time that night..
From here on out, anything could happen… seeya on the other side Pinetree!
With that, he grabbed my hand and our souls merged just before that last of my mindscape crumbled away.
A/N I wanted to make sure to post the part where things actually started happening too. I actually have a decent amount written ahead and I'm still working. Wish me luck!
See you all next time on GF AU Future!
YokaiWriter OUT! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
