Gravity Falls: After the war
Chapter 4: The clone

Disclaimer: I don't own Gravity Falls, or any characters mentioned in the show.
A/N: Hey guys. I'm SO sorry that I didn't update according to schedule. I have Milestone testing coming up, and everything's hectic at home, PLUS I broke my wrist a couple of weeks ago and only now have the ability to type a regular speed. Sooooooo… Forgive and forget? Please read and review! Also, did anyone crack the code? Let me know in your reviews!

Previously, on Gravity Falls: After the war:
*SNAP!*
A twig breaks behind me, causing me to jump. When I turn around, I see…. Myself. Except he's clad in a red and white cap with a bloody design on a yellow triangle, red hoodie, black shirt, Kevlar pants, and hunting boots. But his pale, yellowish skin, starch white hair, and yellow green eyes remind me of a certain dream demon, which terrifies me. Not to mention that pitch black sword he's forming in his hands….
(A/N: Look up "Theo Vael long sword" and it will be the second image.)

My mind goes still. Even with my extreme tolerance of the strange and paranormal, the combination of the power gem malfunctioning, seeing Mabel, having that stupid fucking triangle take her away again, and now this… Well, to put it simply, my daily quota of weirdness has been exceeded, by leaps and bounds. Fortunately, my body goes on auto-pilot as the clone starts creeping forward. I must have also somehow activated my gem, 'cause I can see the shimmering surface of my turquoise Bladesinger long sword out of my peripheral vision. (A/N: Just look up "bladesinger sword" and you'll see what it looks like. {P.S: For the next weapon Dipper summons, look up Elren'dar.}) Following my natural instincts, I summon my short sword to go with it. As I do so, he studies me, and his eerie, unsettling yellow-green eyes raking my body up and down.

"Who the hell are you?"

I barely hear myself as I ask the question in a low, menacing growl. The boy looks at me with mild interest, as if surprised that I can speak. Then, in a high(ish), vibrating voice, he spoke.

"So, you aren't a clothed primate, but still an imbecile. I am Willum Cipher-Pines, paranormal explorer and Harvard University mathematician. Who might you be, why are you in the woods of California, and where did you get your element crystal?"

Huh. A dark, Sheldon-type me. ('Cause, y'know, I'm not like that in the least…Right?) Unfortunately, he took that moment to swing that sword of his right at ma FREAKIN' face. Everything went in slow-mo, like it was moving through syrup. I step back, turn around, and find myself facing a pulsing blue portal. With a shadow of a figure wearing a cape can be seen….

Bwahahahaha! Another cliffhanger ending! Anywho, I don't have a plan for when the next chapter will be, so bear with me! Please! Chao!
