We learn more about what went on between Bill and Tad (kinda) and we learn some stuff about the Multiverse I guess? Also, may have stolen some scenes from Lost Legends: Don't Dimension It… I don't own it, Alex Hirsch and Disney do!
Chapter 7 - Your Guide to the Multiverse!
"Tad Strange?"
"Dipstick, didn't Time Baby mention something about him?"
"Yeah, he did. Bill, who is he?"
He sighed dramatically. "If you must know… It all started on a normal day…"
Alternate Dimension 46'/ MD296800693
AD 1000
"FINALLY, I RULE THIS TOWN! NOW BOW DOWN TO YOUR LORD AND MASTER FOR ALL ETERNITY, BILL CIPHER!"
The wind blew furiously as the temperatures began to drop strangely. The shaman stared up at the criss-cross in the sky before looking directly at the demon standing in front of him and the rest of the native peoples. He held up his torch, lit with fire.
"I will stop you! You may look human like us, but I will not let you deceive the rest of my people!" Modoc yelled.
"Oh, really? And how do you plan to do just that?"
"By doing this."
Him, not being one of the modern, more civilized homo sapiens of today, thought that lighting himself on fire and ending his life would do the trick.
But it didn't.
At least, it didn't until the Axolotl and Time Baby came along.
"BILL CIPHER," Time Baby spoke. "AS YOUR BROTHER, I MUST ASK YOU WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS."
"Ugh, stop calling me that. I destroyed my dimension years ago, you fat crybaby." he turned around and glared at Ax. "And you already know why."
"William," Ax warned. "If you keep doing this you'll end up killing yourself. Both you and Tad Strange."
That's when Tad spoke up. "Are you stupid?!" He started cracking up. "Ha! Ahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THESE GUYS ARE RIDICULOUS!"
Axolotl continued. "William-"
"It's Bill."
"Bill, we can help you. I know you want to see your home again. But taking over this dimension is not going to do any good. I can help you overcome your life obstacles. I won't judge you. You know I never would."
Cipher tapped his chin in thought for a moment, then went blank when he realized that Axie was right. "Tad, ya know, we really should leave t-"
"Leave? Leave?! Are you insane, Bill! We worked for years to conquer this dimension, and now you want to waste it all and leave?!"
"Yes. Unless you're just going to float there and be a scaredy cat."
Tad, for one, looked pissed. And as every second passed, his eye turned a deeper shade of black.
"wE wOrKeD tOgEtHeR fOr MiLlInIa AnD nOw YoU wAnT tO lEaVe?!" Tad screamed right at his face, his voice growing more and more demonic.
Now it was Bill's turn to be pissed.
"Back off, you son of a b*tch! I have a right to make my own decisions, and you swore your loyalty to me, Tad! So you better pick your ass up and come with me."
Tad decided to challenge him. "Oh? And if I don't?" he said with a smirk on his face.
He was shoved to the ground as his neck was suddenly clutched tightly with hands that had razor-sharp claws on them. "Let me make that simpler for you. dOn'T bReAk OuR dEaL uNleSs YoU wAnT tO gEt HuRt, tAddiE."
"You know you can't kill me, Cipher." Tad sneered.
'nO, bUt I cAn MaKe It A liViNg HeLl."
"Oh, what's wrong, did I cross the widdle dwolla bwill?" he teased harshly, then started laughing hysterically, his smirk now an ear to ear grin. "You can't do sh*t about my life, Bill. You're pathetic and you know it."
Bill's rage resulted in the whole place going up in blue flames, but before he could do anything to Tad, Axolotl stopped him. "Let me deal with this." he said.
"Oh, and you? You're worse than him, Big Frilly Know-It-All!"
"One day, Tad Strange, you will have no option but to invoke my name, and only when you've learned your mistakes will you be given mercy. Go back to where you came from, or there will be harsh consequences."
"I will unleash chaos on this place one day, and you will never stop me!" Tad screamed as he was hurled back into the Nightmare Realm.
"Wait, so…. You actually tried to destroy Gravity Falls once?" Dipper asked.
"That's not important." Bill said. "We need to get out of here before Tad finds us."
"This is lame. I can't even get cellular connection here!" Robbie said as he waved his phone in the air.
"Watch out!"
Another wormhole appeared directly below their feet, and they were hurled through multiple dimensions…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
A Sonic the Hedgehog version of Gravity Falls…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
Also taking a detour by crashing right through the Henchmaniacs hangout, where a small stone statue of Bill can be seen reading HE BETRAYED US...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
A version of Gravity Falls where apparently everyone is a fish…?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"
And now cats…?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- Oof!"
"Was I the only one who wasn't screaming?"
"Yes, jerkface." Mabel retorted. The four of them got up and saw that they were in an area like looked like a gift shop.
"Excuse me, who are you exactly?" an old man who looked just like Ford asked. Beside him was… a 13 year old Dipper?!
"Grunkle Ford…. Is that me?!"
"Oh no. Quick, we have to get out of here! This dimension is going to collapse! We've seen parallels! Stanley!"
Another wormhole appeared, and yet again, they fell through space and time until they finally arrived back in their home dimension.
"Well, everyone there should be dead now."
"Do you always have to ruin the mood?" Dipper asked.
"There never was one."
"Good point." he said logically.
Robbie got up and dusted himself off. 'Ugh, I don't know whatever that thing is, you nerds, but I'm leaving!" he said, then threw the time-tape at them. Mabel caught it before it could hit her face.
"That was interesting." she said.
"Yep. We should probably stop by the Shack for lunch."
"Great idea. I'm starving."
Well, this was definitely a fun chapter to write. More to come soon! Comment what you guys think will happen next. Also, don't be afraid to leave criticism.
To fully understand what exactly happened in this chapter, you'll need to know who Modoc and the Axolotl are, and it might help if you know about a certain hidden message in Journal 3 that tells us how Modoc killed himself…...
Anyway, enough spoilers!
Oh, and before I go, I do have a quick announcement. I might not be able to post anything on the 12th and 13th because I'll be doing state testing, so... yeah. Just a heads-up!
Okay-bye-for-real!
