The Cipher Fighters
Chapter 7:
" No," Dipper held out his hand as he sobbed." Stop. Fine. I'll get you the stupid rift. Just please don't hurt her."
" Glad you changed your mind, Pine Tree," Bill smirked as he tightened his grip.
Dipper ran inside the demolished shack then came back out a few minutes later. The boy glared at Bill. Bill glared back and held out his hand. Dipper sighed and reached into his vest. He pulled out the memory erasing gun, earning a gasp from Bill.
" You traitor," Bill yelled.
" You kill her, I kill you," Dipper growled as he pointed the gun at Bill.
Bill began cackling. Dipper raised an eyebrow. The triangle reached up, wiping a tear out of his eye.
" You really think you're gonna stop me with that," Bill chuckled. " I'm from the mindscape, Pine Tree. A gun can't harm me."
" Oh, but this one can," Dipper lowered his eyebrows, again.
" Stop kidding around," Bill turned red." Now, hand me the rift. If I have to ask one more time, Shooting Star will become a falling star."
Dipper shot the laser at Bill. Bill scanned his body then laughed. He shot a flame toward Dipper, knocking the gun out of his hand. Next, he pushed Mabel over the edge then floated toward the next conscious member of the group. Mabel screamed. Dipper rushed toward her, sliding in the dirt until he was off the cliff.
" Llama, the rest of your team has been defeated," Bill uttered as he approached the blonde girl. " Give me the rift or you will perish."
" A Northwest never surrenders," Pacifica bellowed. " Besides, you tricked me. You told me Ford stole that rift from you. If I got it for you, you would change my parents."
" Well, I didn't actually specify," Bill uttered. " I did change your parents in a way."
" The deal is off," Pacifica bellowed. " Now you will never get that rift. Ha!"
" We'll see about that," Bill scoffed.
" Not if I can help it," a voice with a Southern accent spat.
It was Gideon. He stomped toward the floating triangle. The boy pointed at him, frowning.
" You killed my marshmallow," Gideon squealed. " You promised me you wouldn't. Now, I'm going to kill you, using a spell that not even the author or Dipper knows."
" What are you talking about," Bill questioned. " What spell? There's no spell for that. I'm indestructible."
" Wanna bet," Gideon asked then began reciting the spell. " Ssgahoa ahgoh ahah ahaoogbotowoco shothcoocarecnreowgageo gaooghaghaog aghahoweudocaeog aoguehgouwpngacm."
" That is the worst spell I have ever heard," Bill uttered then his eye widened as he looked down at his disintegrating body. " What? No! No! No! This can't be happening! No! I'll be back! I'll be…"
He finished disintegrating. Gideon snorted, grumbled then approached Pacifica.
" I'm sorry," Gideon uttered. " You and the Pines twins were right about me. I was stupid to trust Bill."
Pacifica gasped," Oh, no! Dipper! Mabel!"
She ran over to the edge of the cliff and peered over. Dipper was dangling from a rock, staring into the abyss, eyes watering. He peered up when a hand swung in his face. The boy latched onto Pacifica's hand, pulling himself up. Pacifica kept pulling back until Dipper plopped onto the ground. She kneeled next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. Gideon walked over to the two and glanced at Dipper, his lower lip trembling.
" Is she," Gideon peeped.
" She didn't make it," Dipper mumbled then buried his face in his arms, sobbing.
