Broken Chaos

Gaining Strength

"Come on, let him go!" Peral yelled and coughed up blood as her life slowly seeped out of her body.

"Don't fight me, my sweet energy," The darkness whispered and chuckled as it looked at its prey. With chains wrapped around his wrist and ankles, Dipper floated in place as he watched Peral's life flow around him and through the darkness. He sighed as the darkness shifted and covered his eyes, before enveloping him in darkness. Dipper let out a cry of pain as something cut his arm.

Peral shifted and coughed as she opened her eyes. She spotted Celaria floating off to the side and quickly called her name.

"HEY! Celaria!" Peral called and Celaria opened her eyes.

"How do you know my name?" Celaria asked and felt a shiver run down her back.

"I just do! Listen, I need you to tell Dipper that if we all fight together, we can get free and beat her," Peral said and coughed.

"Are you sure?" Celaria asked and Peral nodded.

"Just..... Do it for me," Peral said and closed her mouth as the darkness shifted and laughed.

Dipper sighed and shook his head as he tried to return to his mind and body.

"LET ME GO!" he screamed and felt something wrap tightly around him.

"Hush little dipper. Don't fight it, Mason. I'm gonna help you," the darkness said and laughed at him as he struggled.

"You're not helping me. If you were, you would let me go back to my body and heal me and let me go back to my family. You would let Peral go and leave Celaria alone," Dipper said, " And stop calling me Mason!"

The darkness shifted and sighed as it shifted.

"Mason, Mason, Mason," it said, sighing as it left him floating there.

"If you can't believe me, I'll let you float there and stay there for a little while. And I'll leave you alone, with no friends," the darkness said and left Dipper floating in the emptiness. Dipper sighed and shook his head.

"DIPPER! DIPPER! ANSWER ME PLEASE!" Celaria's voice echoed through the darkness. Dipper looked up as Celaria appeared.

"Dipper..... Peral said that....... If we work together..... we can all get out of here and stop the Darkness!" Celaria said and huffed as she looked at him. Dipper smiled and sighed.

"But how?" he asked. Celaria sighed and shook her head.

"I don't know. She didn't have time to say," Celaria said and sighed as she looked away from Dipper.

"It's okay, Celaria. It's okay," Dipper said and smiled at her. Celaria nodded and smiled.

Bill sighed and shook his head as he stood next to Dipper's bed in the hospital. He carefully picked up Dipper's hat and looked at it.

"Come on PineTree. You gotta wake up for me. Just..... Wake up," He said and sighed as Ford stepped into the room.

"Is he awake yet?" Ford asked. Bill shook his head and set down Dipper's hat.

"I wish he was though...." Bill trailed off and sighed as he looked at his friend. Ford nodded and sighed as Bill walked over to the window and crossed his arms behind his back.

"Is.... Something else wrong?" Ford asked, walking over to Bill. Bill sighed and shook his head as a thought of his sister entered his head.

"My sister is gone," Bill said and growled as he thought about her. Ford sighed and looked at Dipper.

"He'll get better, Bill. And after that, we'll find your sister," Ford said and smiled a little as Bill nodded.

"Yeah. I guess," Bill said and sighed as he looked at Dipper and shook his head.

"Come on, Bill. Let's head home," Ford said and smiled as Wendy stepped into the room.

"Hey," she said and looked at Dipper.

"Is... He gonna be okay?" She asked, looking at Ford. Ford nodded and smiled as Bill walked past her and out of the room.

"I should follow him and make sure he gets home," Ford said and hurried after Bill.

Dipper coughed and struggled to get free from the chains that held him tight.

"Don't fight me, Mason," The darkness said and began to choke him. Dipper gasped and gasped for air before the darkness let him breathe.

"Let me go," He said and cried out in pain as volts of electricity flowed through him.

"I said don't fight, Mason," The darkness said and growled at him. Dipper's head hung as he trembled and his body shook. He felt his body shaking and shivering.

"You'll learn Mason," the darkness said and laughed as it shocked him again. Dipper felt tears grow from all of the pain and trembling. The darkness left him there and went to find Celaria. Dipper coughed and coughed as he tried to calm down.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Bill sighed and carefully lay down next to Dipper, laying on his side and looking at Dipper.

"Come on PineTree," Bill said and placed his hand in Dipper's. Bill smiled weakly and kissed Dipper on the cheek as he fell asleep.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The darkness slowly let go of Dipper and allowed him to return to his body, watching as he slowly woke up. The darkness smiled as Bill woke up and smiled as Dipper looked at him.

"DIPPER! Oh thank god, you're awake," Bill cried and hugged Dipper. Dipper smiled and chuckled as the others walked into the room. Mabel smiled and hugged her brother as he slowly sat up.

"Dipper! You're awake!" Mabel said and giggled. Ford smiled at Dipper and Stan sighed.

"Hey Dipper," Bill said and looked at Dipper.

"What did you do?" Dipper asked.

"Well, I asked Ford to help me so that everyone in your family could see me. That includes Soos and Wendy, But......." Bill said, trailing off as Dipper sighed.

"Thanks, Ford," he said and smiled.
