GRAVITY FALLS

DIPPER PINES IS A DECEIVER.
OUTSIDE OF PHYSICAL FORCE, DIPPER PINES WOULD USE HIS MIND TO GET WHAT HE WANTED.
WHENEVER HE FELT IT WOULD BE MOST FUN, HE WOULD REFRAIN FROM EXERTING HIS ENDLESS BRUTALITY AND INSTEAD CON OTHERS INTO DOING HIS BIDDING.
DIPPER PINES ENJOYED BEING A TRICKSTER.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE THING WE EVER AGREED ON.
IT WAS THAT SEEING A PLAN UNFOLD IN THE EXACT WAY YOU WANTED IT TO AND THEN SOME WAS A TRUE DELIGHT
CONQUERING THE MINDS OF LOWER LIFEFORMS BECAME A HOBBY OF HIS.
BUT THERE WAS ONE HE COULD NEVER DECEIVE.
STANLEY.
THE MAN OF MYSTERY WAS REMARKABLE TO SAY THE LEAST.
BUT NOT IN THE WAY HUMANS OF YOUR PERIOD WOULD FIND APPEALING.
IF YOU WERE TO PIT DIPPER PINE'S DECEPTION AGAINST STANLEY'S IN A GLOBNAR BATTLE, THEN STANLEY PINES WOULD WIN.
NO MATTER WHAT HE DID, DIPPER PINES COULD NEVER TRICK HIM.
STANLEY'S TRUE EXPERIENCE DWARFED DIPPER PINE'S PRODIGIOUS MIND.
AND THEN THERE WAS HIS BUSINESS. THE MYSTERY SHACK.
A BUSINESS BUILT ON DECEPTION. EVERY DAY, STANLEY'S WEALTH WOULD GROW.
DIPPER PINES WOULD NEVER ADMIT IT, BUT HE WAS INSPIRED BY THE CON ARTISTY OF STANLEY.
WHICH IS WHY HE KILLED HIM. HE HAD THE MYSTERY SHACK DROPPED ON HIS BODY.

PRESENT DAY
-
Bill Cipher stared at an amber hourglass, watching as the sand fell.
"10 days left."
His bowtie rings, and his eye widened before he answered.
"About time you called me back, Pine Tree! What, did you have too much fun tormenting some other dimension?"
...
"Huh? Then what were you doing?"
...
"Recovering?" A revelation hits Bill like a truck. "Wait a second, here I am waiting for a group of dorks to retrieve a rift from Gravity Falls so I can reach the Nightmare Realm when I could've just asked you to go there! You're better at manipulating space than I am!"
...
"Oh, I wanna go to the Nightmare Realm because Inko and Mabel, or a piece of her anyway, may be hiding from us there. They're sneaky, Mabel, especially, but I finally caught them!"
...
A part of the castle explodes due to Bill's intense and spontaneous rage.
"What?"

Pony's head was throbbing with pain. She opened her eyes, blinking a few times as they adjusted to the light. She wakes in a house. No, no, not a house. It was a shop of some kind.
This was weird.
Everything was a dull, lifeless gray. All except for Pony herself. She stood up and looked around. "Whose shop is this?"
Right as she asked, an old man appeared from another one of the rooms. Aside from her, the only other thing with color were his red eyes.
Pony spots his nametag. "Stanley..." She held her hands. "So, Stan, do you have an instability in space for me?"
He walks past her and goes outside. Pony follows, and to her confusion, he just points at the bottom of the Mystery Shack.
"You want me to go back inside?"
He shook his head.
"Oh!" She facepalmed. "The rift is under the shack, right?"
He nods.
"Thanks!" Pony was about to use a few quirks to dig it out, but Stanley stopped her. He made a few odd gestures, but she was able to make out what he wanted her to do. "You want me to physically lift that building?"
He nods.
"Fine. Move the goalpost. That's cool." Pony puts her hands underneath the Mystery Shack's porch. Activating a few strength enhancer quirks, she tries to lift. As expected, nothing works.
'I don't know why I'm complaining, Izu could probably lift three of these. But that's because he has One For All...' Pony grunts. 'Then I need One For All too!'
Her best bet on getting a good grip on the building was Blackwhip anyway. She closes her eyes and relaxes, calmly trying to coax the power out. Forcing it likely wouldn't do her any favors.
It takes a good minute, but she feels a small spark of energy. Golden electricity went around her hand. Then her arm. The storm of energy within grew more fierce by the second. Pony allows it to run wild, causing an explosion of power to surround her. She smirked.
"It's easy as pie!" Pony, with confidence, strength quirks, and Blackwhip, she ripped the building out of the ground. "Huh?"
Pony looks around and spots a hole in the ground. It appeared to be a (very) old staircase. She peers into it while carrying the shack.
"Hey, do you need this? The building, I mean."
Stanley shakes his head.
"Kay." Pony casually tossed it away. And with Stanley, she went down the old staircase until they reached the basement.
Two more people were down here, sitting on worn-out chairs. Or the two rotting skeletons of people, at least. Pony recoils but spots their nametags. Jesús "Soos" Alzamirano Ramirez and Stanford were their names.
Stanford was holding the rift. And, with Blackwhip, retrieves it. Pony prayed in front of their bodies.
"I hope you two are in a better place."
She turns to Stanley. "Are you alive?"
Stanley laughs. "Nope! I'm as dead as those two and the rest of Gravity Falls, and Dipper Pines is our killer. Think of this as our way of helping you from beyond the grave!"
"If there's one person that can beat Dipper, it's Izuku!" Stanley, for whatever reason, didn't seem to believe this. "Listen, Dipper Pines is a liar. He'll say anything to get in your head regardless of whether or not it's true or has bits of the truth in it. Don't listen. Focus solely on killing that monster once and for all. His words mean absolutely nothing."
"You got it, old dude. I'll let Izuku know."
Stanley sends her away. He smiles, content.
The world was erased from existence.
