"Bill." Dipper shivered as he saw the old demon that had tormented his family during his first summer in Gravity Falls, and long before when Ford had first come to Gravity Falls. "How are you alive?"

"Did you really think you could kill me pine tree."

"You looked pretty scared when I punched you." Stan smirked.

Bill frowned narrowing his one eye. "I see you got your memories
back Stanley." Bill frowned. "Gils take care of them." Bill waved a hand.

Why doesn't Bill just do something? Dipper wondered as Gilroy
waved a hand and the mindshark moved closer to them. And what is with the chain?

"Tie them up, we need them alive for this." Gilroy told the
mindshark, holding out a rope.

"Do you think that will hold us?" Ford smirked. "You can't keep us
trapped in the mindscape."

"You think?" Gilroy smirked. "I have done more research than you
ever have Pines. I know things that you don't. Like objects that you have with
you when you first get to the mindscape are more powerful than objects you
conjure with your mind. I also know that anything the creatures here use is
more firmly rooted since this is their whole existence."

The mindshark hissed as it quickly circled the pines family, tying
them all together. It roared and then forced them to sit. "Why are you working
with Bill?" Ford yelled. "Gilroy?"

"Shut up." Gilroy turned to Bill. "Let's get this over with."

"Do you have everything we need set up on the other side?" Bill
asked, looking away from the Pines. "We can't have any mistakes here."

"Don't worry I know what I'm doing." Gilroy took off the backpack
he wore and set it down. He began to take out a set of items. Dipper watched
trying to see what it all was. First was what looked like a vampire fang
followed by a mere scale, a small vial of water, another vial of glittering
dust. Then there was a bunch of short candles. "You're still in the center
right?" Gilroy glanced at Bill.

"Of course I am." Bill folded his arms over his… chest?.. and
looked at the Pines. "Let's get this all started."

"What are you doing?" Mabel asked, struggling in their bonds a
little. Her elbow nailed Dipper in the side and he grunted slightly.

"Shut up." Gilroy glared. He walked over to the middle of the
clearing and began to set out the candles in a circle. Bill followed him, the
chain dragging along the ground following bill. Bill sat in the middle of the
circle of the candles and fire sparked to life on each of the candle wicks.
Dipper watched as Gilroy drew two large triangles along the ground forming a
star with Bill and the candles at the center.

"What are you doing?" Stan asked.

"I said shut up." Gilroy spat at them and then pulled out six
little figurines. Dipper froze. Each of the figures were familiar. There was
himself, Mabel, Ford, Fiddleford, Soos, and Gideon. Each of the small figures
was set on the point of one of the points of the star. Gilroy pulled out two
small strand of white hair and stuck one into the Gideon figure's head, one in
the Fiddleford figure's head and then pulled out a short stubbly dark hair and
stuck it in the Soos figure's head.

"Is that their hair?" Mabel whispered.

"How long have you been planning this?" Ford hissed out.

"I said shut up!" Gilroy spun to glare at them.

"No need to be so harsh." Bill laughed. "I'll tell them, you
continue to get eveything set up." Bill turned to look at them, not moving from
his circle. "You might have trapped me here years ago but I've been planning
and I will be escaping from here today." Bill laughed. "I will be taking back
your world and it will be a party."

"You won't succeed." Ford glared. "We will beat you again."

"You had your chance and you failed." Bill smirked. "I will return
and I will take your world. And once I have you Pines will die."

"Alright I'm ready for the ceremony." Gilroy stood up. Dipper
looked over to see he had a bowl set in front of Bill. "One vampire fang, a
merfolk scale, a vial of unicorn tears and ground up fairy wings."

"Good now you just need them." Bill pointed at the Pines.

"I'm aware." Gilroy walked closer and Dipper started to struggle more.
Gilroy narrowed his eyes and Dipper felt a claw at his throat. He had forgotten
about the mindshark. Gilroy reached down and plucked a hair from each of them
except Stan. After Gilroy put the hairs in the rest of the figure's heads he
walked back over pulling out a knife.

"What are you doing now?" Ford growled.

"I need one more ingredient." Gilroy pointed the knife at Stan.
"Don't move unless you want to die." He slid the knife along Stan's arm,
leaving a large gash and caught the dripping blood in a cup that appeared out
of thin air.

Stan flinched, his face going a little paler as the blood
continued to spill out.

"Stan heal yourself!" Ford yelled at his brother. "Remember we're
in the mindscape." Nothing happened for a moment and then the wound was gone,
Stan was shaking.

"A peaceful death might have been kinder for him." Gilroy
whispered and then he handed the cup to Bill. He moved out of the circle. "Go
ahead Bill."

"Here we go!" Bill smirked and poured Stan's blood into the bowl.
It started to bubble like it was boiling. Dipper watched in a morbid
fascination. It was almost hypnotic as the contents of the bowl blended
together and bubbled. The flames suddenly grew larger on the candles and glowed
blue. Dipper was reminded of the flames that surrounded Bill when he made a
deal with someone. "One more thing." Bill laughed and pulled out a feather. A
small red bird's feather. He held it over the liquid and let it drop.

As soon as the feather hit the liquid it burst into blue flames,
along with the rest of the liquid. Bill moved slightly and stretched out the
chain pouring the flaming liquid on the chain. For a moment nothing happened
and then the chain lit up bright red before turning into dust and falling away.
The candles puffed out and the wax figures melted. The wax stretched out and
formed two circles around Bill and he began to raise up into the sky and
started to laugh loudly. Blue flames sparked up his arms.

"AT LAST!" Bill laughed loudly and he snapped his fingers and the earth around them began to shake slightly.

Dipper tensed and braced himself against his family, but he kept his eyes on Bill. Whatever had just happened it didn't seem like a good thing. "What do we do Grunkle Ford?" Dipper whispered.

"I have no idea."

"Are you satisfied?" Gilroy yelled up at Bill, folding his arms over his chest.

Bill calmed down and settled down back a few inches above the ground. "Right, you're free to go Gils."

"What about them?" Gilroy glanced over at the Pines family.

Dipper tensed but Bill waved a hand. "Don't worry about them, they're not your problems anymore."

"Are you going to kill them?" Gilroy's voice was low and almost a whisper.

"Not until this is all over. I want them to see the effect of their failure." Bill was smirking widely. "There is no way they can truly stop me now."

"Very well." Gilroy nodded and then picked up his bag and started walking away. "You made a foolish choice Pines family." He said over his shoulder and then disappeared.

"Now then." Bill turned to the Pines. "What shall I do with you for now?"

"What is your plan Bill?" Ford glared at Bill.

"Now Sixer where is the fun in that?" Bill laughed. "But I promise you, it's gonna be fun!" He waved a hand and a crack formed in the sky. Bill laughed as a view of the real world appeared. Bill flew through it and the crack disappeared.

Dipper shivered and then looked towards the mindshark, it was gone. He sighed in relief and then looked at Ford. "This is going to be bad isn't it?"

"If he connects with his body, yes…. We need to hurry back." Ford struggled in the bindings and then after a few minutes they were all free.

Stan rubbed his arms. "Didn't Bree say if we get knocked out we'll go back to our bodies?"

Ford nodded. "Ready Dipper?"

"Huh?" And then Dipper was seeing flashing lights and he jolted up in his body. He groaned and rubbed his head. He had the worst headache ever. He glanced around at them, it looked normal. Maybe we're okay for now… Dipper thought.

Bill flew through Gravity Falls laughing to himself. He was finally free. After so many years he was free again. When Stanley Pines had trapped Bill he had used his last resort. He had called upon the name of the beast Axolotal. He wasn't sure what would have happened but when he came to he was trapped… as a bird. Bill had flown around and found his body but he couldn't get into it. His spirit had been chained to the mindscape. It had taken him years to figure out how to get free. It had taken help from his old contact. But now he was free. He spotted his body. It sat untouched in the middle of trees. Bill flew down to it and smirked. "Time for Weirdmogeddon." He reached out to touch the stone leftovers of himself and was repelled by some kind of barrier. "What?"

He fumed and tried again and again. But it didn't work. He hadn't been this frustrated since he had found out that Gravity Falls was surrounded by a barrier that contained the weirdness. He still had to ask Ford about that. "Well now what…" Bill thought. "Guess I'll need some help again." Bill's body flashed with images of the many residences of Gravity Falls. One of them would be able to help… One of them would help him bring about weirdmoggedon. He laughed and then flew off again.
