All the Darkness ever knew was loneliness. That's how it remembered its beginning, totally alone in the universe. No father, no mother in the eyes of the mortals. That's why it went to Fairy World and Turbo Thunder's home planet. To maybe find a friend. But both times the result was the same. The fairies blasted it with light while the super mortals blasted it with weapons. So of course it attacked back.
"You are always alone, aren't you?" Bill asked.
When the Darkness had met Bill, the energy demon had just destroyed the 2nd dimension. The Darkness had seen the smoke.
"Yes. Now you are too." The Darkness pointed out.
Bill reassured, "Eh, I prefer it that way."
The two had oddly enough became friends. They had defended each other. So when Bill had conquered Gravity Falls, the Darkness was more than excited to come. This would be the first mission that they had in awhile. What the Darkness didn't expect was Timmy Turner. For the Darkness's part, it had come into contact with Timmy's mind and heart. Even though, Timmy had fired into it, this blast was very different from the weapons from Wonder World and the cold yellowish light from the fairies. No, this light was pure and blindingly white. It hurt but in the sense that a wound hurt while healing.
He saw no hatred in Timmy's heart just concern for his loved ones. Because it had come into contact with Timmy's heart and mind, it learned the often very rough life the boy had. For the first time, the Darkness felt a small stirring of emotions inside its weakest point; its heart. He gave the orders to the Eliminators; Timmy Turner would come to them.
"You'll regret that later." Bill told it. The Darkness perked up. He added, "He will find your weak point."
It stated, "Right now, he's got to get out of that bubble of yours."
Bill questioned, "You're not worried?"
It answered, "No, not worried."
Bill seemed to have shrugged, "Well I've got fun to have."
...
When Ford was able to move again, he made fists.
He started to say, "Let me go you insane three sided..." That's when he noticed that he was in a room of some kind. He muttered, "What is this place..?"
The six fingered scientist tried to move but saw a blue chain around his ankle. Figures.
"We'll meet again. Don't know where, don't know when. Oh I know we'll meet again some sunny day~"
Ford saw Bill appear, singing and playing on a piano.
He demanded, "W - where am I?"
Bill explained, "The penthouse suite. Have a drink, take a seat." A drink appeared in Ford's hand as he took a seat on the couch behind him. Bill's eye turned into a mouth as he took a sip of his drink. He stated, "Did you know that couch is made out of living human skin?"
The couch suddenly came alive. Ford quickly got to his feet as he turned to Bill.
He huffed, "Quit the games, Cipher. Where's Stanley? What do you want with me?"
Bill ignored the first question and explained, "As you know, I now control space, matter, and now that dumb baby is out of the way - time itself. But I wasn't always this way. Trying living in the second dimension. Flat minds, flat dreams. I liberated my dimension, Stanford. And I'm here to liberate yours. There's just one small hitch. Something is keeping us in."
Ford breathed, "Incredible! Gravity Falls Natural Magnetism. I studied this years ago!"
Bill questioned, "And did you ever figure out how to collapse it?"
Ford quickly became offered, "Of course I did. There is a simple equation that can collapse the barrier. But I'd never tell you."
Bill told him, "Listen Ford, with that equation, your dimension will finally be free. Anything will be possible. No more restrictions, no more laws. You'd be one of us. All powerful. And all I need is your help."
Ford replied, "You're insane if you think I'll help you."
Bill laughed, "I'm insane either way brainaic. But have it your way, I'll just go into your mind and fish it out."
Bill was about to go into Ford's mind when the six fingered scientist smirked.
He pointed out, "Not so fast. You know the rules, Bill. You might be able to haunt my dreams but if you want in my mind, I have to shake your hand and let you in."
All of the sudden, more chains appeared.
Bill groaned, "You know, you are making this tougher than it needs to be. Everyone has a weakness tough guy. It'll only be a matter of time."
That's when Ford screamed in fear.
...
Gideon had to admit, he was a pretty selfish person. He always got what he wanted, even before he found Journal 2 or his amulet. He always made his parents a living hell. He was always mean to them, getting what he wanted almost immediately when he either used his cute charm or his threats. It gave him an edge, even way before the journals - or meeting the Pines. The Pines... He groaned a bit. What a family that was. First there was his arch rival in business, Stanford Pines, whom was as old as his grandpa. Second was his rival, in a sense, Dipper Pines. Dipper was keeping him away from his precious Mabel...
Mabel. Sometimes Gideon wished she wasn't a Pines. She was just as stubborn as Stanford. When Gideon read Journal 2, he knew that he had to find the other journal so he could get power beyond imagined. Oh what a fool he was. Now in the Fearamid, Gideon had been captured, doomed to do cute dances for eternity. He hadn't had any sleep, between the screams of pain he had been hearing these past few hours...
"AH!"
There it was again. That scream. It wasn't a scream Gideon had associated from town. Maybe someone from the Resistance was captured? His thoughts went immediately to Mabel as Gideon picked the lock of the cage. The door opened up as Gideon walked around the Fearamid. He had to find who Bill was torturing. Maybe they needed some help? When Gideon got to a yellow brick room, that's when he saw a man that looked strangely liked Stanford. The only difference was, actually, a lot. Was this a result of Weirdmaggedon?
"S - Stanford?" He asked, noticing the concern in his own voice. He wouldn't admit it to the world but he was worried about his arch rival. Stanford opened his eyes slowly, blinking a few times. He barely managed to move but Gideon could tell he was in immense pain. "W - what did Bill do to you?" Gideon asked, seeing the burn marks on his wrists. That's when he saw something he didn't expect: six fingers. This couldn't be...! But that would mean... Gideon knelt down to his side, taking his hand. He examined the burn, seeing that more scars went up his arm. "Y - you are really hurt..." Gideon finally managed to say.
It had dawned on him that this person wasn't Stanford, but it could be his twin brother. The author of the journals was watching the white haired boy, almost as if he was a scared little boy. He didn't know if he could trust him at first. But seeing that this boy was more concerned about his injuries than his own. Stanford, the real Stanford, didn't know how this boy knew his name. That's when it dawned on him. This boy knew Stanley. Stanford managed to sit up a bit, gaining Gideon's attention.
Ford strained his voice a bit, "I rather be hurt than anyone else... This whole thing was my fault... I brought Bill into this dimension..."
Gideon looked down at the ground, capturing Ford's attention.
"Actually, that was me." Gideon admitted quietly. "I - I thought if I gathered the journals together, I would get power that was unimaginable. Something that would have brought Mabel to me as my queen." Ford was quiet, listening to Gideon. Gideon continued, "But I guess that wasn't the case. Mabel never loved me. And Bill just wanted to cause Weirdmaggedon. So it wasn't your fault... It was mine..."
Ford placed his hand on Gideon's shoulder and softly stated, "Listen to me... I started this whole thing. I was the one that brought Bill to this dimension. It was my portal that brought this chaos forth. It was my fault that my family is in the shambles it is now..." Ford looked away from Gideon, taking out a picture. Gideon looked confused, seeing the sad look on Ford's face. Ford put it away carefully and muttered, "And now, Stanley will never forgive me..."
And that got Gideon's attention.
"Who's Stanley? Isn't that you?" Gideon asked, tilting his head a bit.
"Stanley is the owner of the Mystery Shack." Ford answered, clarifying.
Gideon's eyes widen as he started to say, "Wait, that means your..."
"Well, well, well! There's my little Gideon!" Bill stated, gaining their attention.
Gideon paled as he spun around, seeing Bill floating there. Gideon flinched hard but he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked out of the corner of his eye, seeing Ford glaring at Bill.
"You won't harm him any further, Cipher!" Ford hissed.
"So does that mean that you will give up the equation, Sixer?" Bill asked.
"Read my lips: I'll never tell you!" Ford huffed.
"Aw too bad. That means we play my favorite game... electrocution!" Bill stated, snapping his fingers.
Just as he did, a golden cage appeared, trapping Gideon inside.
"Stanford!" Gideon cried, extending his hand out in worry. That's when the blue chains appeared around Ford's ankles, wrists, and around his neck. Ford struggled against the chains, trying to break free. He wasn't going to let Bill hard a child, a child that reminded him so much of the twins. He could barely talk, all he felt was this sudden tingling sensation running up his body. The electricity came from Bill's eye, which horrified Gideon. "NO! Leave him alone!" Gideon demanded, knowing that there was not much he could do.
Before Gideon knew it, Bill had left Gideon in the cage alone. Gideon felt beyond worried as he started to dance for eternity. He wished someone would hurry up and get here. Ford needed help.
