Chaos Falls: The Demon Returns

Funeral Black

(FINALLY, a chapter of proper length. Ive been working on this one for a while. Especially with the artwork at the end.)

(Warning! Major Character Deathish Moment Ahead!!!!!)

Before the heirs could count and get some sort of baring for it, their corronatuon day came. The first seven spent a lot of time getting ready for that afternoon, and servants rushed to get it all into place from decor and food, to evening gowns and suits. It was impossible not to stress the days importance. Dipper and Bill spent plenty of time helping their children get together, even if Bill had to take time out later to get dressed himself. It annoyed his children and Henchmaniacs that he still had to put on the fake face of 'Rilic Bephil'to see his own children gain their official status, but the demon didn't mind. He really just wanted the world to see his legacy blossom. He'd fret over the false identity later. It did get him however. Why has no one ever claimed him as a fake or a impostor? Surely some one, especially to the likes of old Six Fingers, would have figured out his anagram of a false name wasn't to any real man, especially if human. he ended up simply laughing at the thought. If they still had no clue, that was their problem, not his. And quite frankly, he could care less.

Finishing putting on his kingly attire, he waved his hand before the mirror, changing into his false identity. He still wore his stern expression, knowing that would best keep suspicion away in the time he didn't wear that bitterly sweet, yet gentle smile with partially lidded eyes to match.

"Bill."

The demon looked to the door when he heard Dipper call.

"Im as ready as you are Love. Just thinking." He reassured.

"I know. I wish you didn't have to hide like this either." Dipper nodded, pulling hom into a loving embrace.
"But now whenever I see that mask of yours, I can only see you, not another. I guess thats because the surprise is out, hm?"

"I'm sure you'd find me under any mask, Love." Bill smiled before givign Dipper a kiss.
"Let's hurry down to the Corronation now, I'm sure Uncle Tad is throwing a bit kf a tangant about now." He sighed with some laughter from Dipper following at the thought lf Tad chastising Bill like he was still a child.

The celebration was going very well, especially with it being the first time all the heirs were all together with their parents for a occasion. The younger's rejoiced in the honoring of the first seven heirs born to the family. The king and queen watched with gentle smiles as the heir's still in the building had fun with their subjects, friends, and family members. Here and there Bill and Dipper would break out of simple sweet nothings and chat between spouses to making their own fun, which Bill quickly found Dipper to have become far to good at since his abscence. Through his time as Queen, Dipper became fond of studying each of his subjects, noting their apperances and behaviors. It was like a memory game that helped remind him of how alike and diffrent we all are. Some would catch his eye, some wouldnt really until much later. But he always knew a odd one when he saw it. It was a small feature in the crowd, and even if it had been at least a hour and a half into the celebration, he would have noticed it sooner or later. The figure wore a robe that looked peculiar to Dipper. He didn't know exactly why, but the nostolgia sent a nervous jolt through him.

"Bill, that man over there in the robe-" Dipper whispered into his ear.

"Whats wrong? Does he seem off putting?" Bill asked.

"Quite. It, seems to familiar. Infact I'm hoping it's not the same as what I'm recalling."

There was a lot of parts to their twelve year old selves adventures in Gravity Falls the Pine Twins wished they could forget, even of they refused to. But they hoped they would never have to deal with certain beings ever again. Sadly, some things don't die until they had one last word.
The queen didn't linger on the thought for long as it was time to crown the first seven. He couldn't help but smile as he placed the respectively forged crowns and tiaras upon each of their heads. Dipper recited the noble words that were arranged for this moment, noting Bill's prideful expression from the corner of his eye. After finishing his words the crowd and the many other siblings giving applause.
As Dipper and Bill relished in their children's moment, the red robed figure watched them closely. The figure pulled from his red robe a pistol, and fired two shots as soon as his aim was certain. The audiance looked on in horror as two red spots grew on the queens chest as they began struggling to breathe. Dipper collapsed as Bill caught him, calling, begging for him to stay conscious. The crowd went into outrage, some lunged for the man to be stopped by guards. Some of their heirs had to hold back their more agressive siblings from tearing the man to shreads themselved. Others held eachother from the shock and pain. Some could only stand hoplessly and watch their mother begin to expire before them. The guards apprehended the figure before anyone could fully act, wrestling him to the ground, even harming him fairly in turn. They ripped his hood from his head, revealing to all who he was.

"Blind Ivan?!" Mable, Wendy, Fiddleford, and Soos exclaimed.

"Why would you do this?!" Mason cried as he and his twin held each other.

"You will atone for this crime, you monster!" Orion added.

"Take him to the dungeons, this man will be trialed by the king at first light!" Will ordered in a never seen tearful anger.

The guards did as told, preparing to drag a beat up Blind Ivan out the ball room.

But the time suddenly felt still. All in the ball room looked to the throne, and heard Bill scream one thing.

"Noitucexe ot emoc ton emit rieht taht s'rewop tneicna eht ekovni I, noitaniur dedoolb luos s'evol ym, L-T-O-L-O-X-A!"

All the townsfolk froze and wore looks of horror as the light blew out, plumeting them into darkness. Blue flames were the only thing lighting the room as they erupted from the ground, wirling, and consuming the rulers. The demon heirs and their uncles looked on, praying Bill wasn't about to blow them all to kingdom come. What they witnessed instead, would shake the entire kingdom. The magic flames then began to dispurse from where Bill and Dipper were on the floor, spreading across the room like vines. The Pines and their friends felt their cores twist in frozen horror as a giggle rung so gently, yet loud as thunder. When the flames cleared enough, the figure stood to their full hight for all to see the form that had assimilated. Glowing yellow jewels, luminescent brick patterned lines fading from yellow to blue across thier arms and lower calves, and a cracked pine tree jewel, looking like it was on the verge of shattering.

"You know, I always thought pain was hilarious..."

"WHY DON'T I SHARE MINE WITH YOU!?"
