Multiverse Part 2: Demigods In Gravity Falls

Chapter 8: Say Goodbye, Bill

(After The Chase Scene And Everything)

Percy watched in horror as Ford shook Bill's hand. Bill's physical form turned into stone, and a yellow outline of him appeared, then flew towards Ford, vanishing right before hitting him. 

Bill opened a door inside Ford's mind, saying "Oh, I'm here. I'm finally here! Look at this place. A perfect, calm, orderly void. Gotta hand it to you, Ford. You really know how to clear your-" He opened the door to find Stan playing paddle ball while sitting on a recliner. He looked at Bill and pointed a finger gun at him, winking and clicking his tongue. "What?!" "Heh heh. Do a pretty good impression of my brother, don't I? Switch clothes and no one can tell us apart. Welcome to my mind! Surprised you didn't recognize it." 

The cage surrounding Percy and Annabeth disappeared, and they ran forward, when suddenly Stan took off his fez- to reveal Ford's hairstyle. Ford brought out the memory gun. Annabeth's eyes widened. "You-" Ford began to type on the dial. He typed in "Stanley Pines" and prepared to fire as Percy, Annabeth, Dipper, and Mabel watched in shock. 

"What?! The deal's off!" Bill exclaimed. He turned around to see the door slam shut. Suddenly, the room was engulfed in blue fire. Bill's eye widened. "N-no!" He turned towards Stan. "This can't be happening!" Stan grinned. "Oh, yeah. You're goin' down, Bill. You're gettin' erased. Memory gun! Pretty clever, huh?" Bill turned back towards the door and pointed his hand towards it. "Let me out of here! Let me out-" The blue fire in his hand went out. Bill looked at it, panicking. "W-why isn't this working?!" "Hey, look at me. Turn around and look at me, you one-eyed demon!" Bill turned to see Stan glaring down at him, pointing at him. "You're a real wise guy, but you made one fatal mistake: you messed with my family." "You're making a mistake! I'll give you anything: Money! Fame! Riches! Your own galaxy! Please!"

Ford fired the gun.

"No! What's happening to me?!" Bill began to change form multiple times, shouting gibberish, until finally his eye turned red, and his pupil and body turned black. He began to reach out his hand. "STANLEY!" Stan reeled his fist back and punched Bill out of existence. Then, he walked over to a photo of him with Dipper, Mabel, and Mabel's pet pig, Waddles. He picked it up and smiled, closing his eyes as blue fire surrounded him and began to erase him. "Heh. Guess I was good for something after all." The fire fully engulfed him, and all that remained was an empty mind.

The pyramid was collapsing, but everyone was perfectly fine. Stan fell to his knees, his blank eyes staring up at the tear in the sky as it closed up, sucking in everything that had been brought through it- including the pyramid. Then, at last, it was all gone. Percy and Annabeth looked down at Stan, who was facing forward, his eyes blank. He was still on his knees. Ford walked up, his eyes welling with tears. "He did it. He has no idea, but... he saved the world." Ford bent to his knees and placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. "He saved me." Ford squeezed his eyes shut and hugged his brother tightly. "You're our hero, Stanley." Mabel sobbed, and Dipper lowered his hat as he hung his head. Percy rested a hand on Annabeth's shoulder, both of them tearing up. For a while, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of birds chirping alongside the quiet wind.

Dipper barged down the door to the destroyed Mystery Shack and ran inside alongside Mabel. After several failed attempts at getting Stan to regain his memory, they finally succeeded, thanks to Mabel's scrapbook. Everyone laughed as Mabel read Stan the book, flipping through page after page.
