We chase after the demon, running out of breath on our measly human legs. Mabel finds a dart gun on the ground and picks it up, cocking it and aiming it straight for the door in Bill Cipher's hands.

Soos doubles back to find a shortcut to a door he suggested to open. Once he gets there, he swings it wide open. Somehow, Bill is too busy talking to Gideon to notice.

Mabel takes a second of preparation before she shoots. We watch as it flies down the hallway and... bullseye! It hits the intended target! The door flies out of Bill's hands and straight into the door that Soos opened, falling down the bottomless pit. I high-fived Mabel who cheered.

"Nooo!" Bill exclaimed angrily. Gideon calls off the deal and Bill turns red. "You can't even imagine what that just cost me! Do you have any idea what I'm like when I'm mad!?" he grumbles, growing in size. Then, in a distorted voice, he says, "WHEN I'M MAD!" I have some sort of idea.

Fear washes over me as I watch the ground crumble beneath me. I panic as I wonder what kind of horrors Bill has planned for us.

Soon, the walls of the Mystery Shack fall away and we're in a ring of fire somewhere in space. Bill starts shooting lasers and Mabel's head gets really big and ugly. "No! My cuteness!" she exclaims in a deep voice. Her '80s boy toys disintegrate, their faces showing pure agony for being fictional.

I can feel the ground beneath me grow unstable as it shoots up in the sky. I almost fall over as I'm being risen about 50 feet. I can't do anything to help. I'm stuck up here and I know for a fact Bill did it on purpose.

"Little Sixer gets to watch her friends suffer!" Bill laughs evilly. I despise that nickname, now more conscious of how many fingers I have. I look down; Mabel and Soos look like ants from up here.

"I hope he doesn't know about that little British dog I'm always thinking about," I hear Soos whisper. Then suddenly, Bill summons a dog wearing a little British cap.

"'Ello, 'ello, 'ello! Who's crike for a shdig in the pudding?" the dog said in a fake British accent.

Mabel cries and Soos screams relentlessly, and I can't do anything about it. And Bill knows it. 

"Aww poor Little Sixer. She can't do anything about her friend's agony! Ahahahah!" Bill laughs, "And your eyes are still crazy."

"Shut up, Bill!" I glare at him. He may have my soul but he won't get in my head. Figuratively, of course.

"I must have struck a nerve!" Bill teased, trying to find a way to mess with me. But suddenly, Dipper bursts in. "Pine tree, late to the party, are we?" Bill cackles.

"Guys! This is a mindscape. If Bill can do whatever he wants, so can we!" Dipper says and suddenly, a magic sword appears in his hand. Mabel shrinks her head, returning herself back to normal and Soos gets rid of the British dog.

"Wait wait wait!" Bill growls and I hop down the fifty-foot pillar without hurting myself. I feel invincible beyond my imagination right now.

"Leave my grandfather's mind, Bill!" I tell him, standing my ground.

Bill didn't say anything for a second, but then in his moment of silence, Dipper attacked him with his sword. Mabel laughed and summoned some sort of kitten rocket attached to her arm while Soos laughs like a maniac as he throws pies like he's in some sort of video game.

After a minute of me watching, not realizing I can do something as well, I finally manifest a weapon of sorts and attack him with it.

Dipper opens a back door out of here with his mind and ushers Mabel, Soos and me out of there. We feel ourselves being pulled out, and after a minute of a spaghettification feel, we're back in the real world. Another second passes and Dipper is back, too.
