Gravity Falls: What If.....?

Tad Strange

I want to say thank you, Lapi5_Lazuli, for giving me your what if questions. They really do mean a lot to me.

What if Tad Strange really was Bill's brother? By: Lapi5_Lazuli

Tad POV

I was just doing what I always so. Take a walk through the town when the sun is about to set. Then suddenly it started to get cold and windy...and dark. Then all of a sudden a light just flash up in the air, the sky was being cut open. I could feel it...the power...the darkness.

I haven't told anyone but I'm really a demon. Not a lot of people know me because I have to hide because of my younger brother Bill Cipher. I'm Tad Cipher, the elder brother of Bill Cipher. Bill was after our family. He wanted to prove to them what worth he was. He tried but everyone in our family laugh, I chuckle. Bill was the youngest of us all and nobody took him seriously. Then out of anger...Bill imprisoned them. He would have killed them but you can't kill demons...only imprison them or change their form....remember that goat this is always around the Mystery Shack?...Yeah that is the eldest brother, James. Or even the woodpecker that man was married to....my sister, Mary. Or that pig with that one girl...another younger brother name Sam. They are all over. For me I manage to escape but I was hit with some of it....I manage to change it...I was supposed to turn into a duck but I change it up so I turn into a human....so I could still have my memory of my demon life. I knew that Bill would someday would open the nightmare realm and gain powers. When that happens...I too will gain some powers. Sadly, not my other siblings and parents because they got the full blast. I could only gain a small handful of the power since I am human and since I did have a part of the blast.

Then the sky just started to turn blood red. Then I could hear his laugh. I could feel the power. It sparks inside of me. Right now I knew that Bill was going to have a physical form and of course his demon powers would have an upgrade. For me...I'll have my demon powers back, some of them.

Then Bill's shadow came over us and he came up to the town's people. I hide in the crowed. "Oh Bill." I muttered. He started to rant about he is the new ruler. I really didn't pay much attention because I was feeling sorry for Mr. Northwest, who had his face just rearrange. He then introduces his 'friends' to us. I heard of them but really didn't meet them.

Then they started to chase around the towns people. I hide around a building. I got to do something. Then I remember about the Pines. They could help. I looked around to see if they could be around. I couldn't see them. I sigh. Time to use these powers...this is going to be interesting.

I close my eyes. Then I could since all the minds in the world...I miss this feeling. The Cipher family was all mind/dream types of demons. I went around Gravity Falls, trying to find either of the Pines' minds. Then I sense Stanford but something was blocking me. I then sense Dipper and I went in. I watch through Dipper's eyes as he walks up to this church or bell tower thing...it was really close by. I then exit through his mind and came back. I look for the church or bell tower house. Then I saw it, it was behind Bill.

"Of course it does." I muttered. I then quickly went around. It was my only choice to go around. I quickly jump behind building and building to get close to bell tower. Then there was an explosion and I saw the bell tower. "Oh no." I muttered. "Dipper run!" I heard a voice called out. Then I saw Bill came over to the building. "Well well, Sixer!" Then I saw Bill using his powers and lifted up Stanford...wait that doesn't look like Stanford. He looks like him but doesn't look like him. I didn't see Dipper around. I look for him and I saw him by the bell tower. I got to get to him.

I jump to building to building. Then I came close to the bell tower. Then I saw Dipper just run up and stand on the melted statue, "What are you doing kid?!" I muttered. "Bill!" Dipper cried out, "Let go of my uncle!" Then Bill came up to the boy, "Well isn't it my old puppet! Come for your encore?" I looked around, thinking if I should go up there or wait. Right now Bill is quiet powerful and I don't have much power. Sure I am the older brother but he won't listen to me.
