Unbelievable Love

Chapter 2

*Edited*

*Note: This chapter corresponds to Season 2 Episode 18: Weirdmageddon Part 1*

"So this is how the world ends," Ford and I stare at the sky with concern and fear, "not with a band but with a bop-op." Ford makes a crazy motion as he said 'bop-boop.'

"Weirdmageddon," I said. Not going to lie, it was all fascinating for me but also scary at the same time. There are many questions that might be answered soon enough.

Some birds fly straight towards us being more afraid of something in the woods than us. Ford and I both duck and shield ourselves with our arms from the flock of birds. Ford is also protecting me at the same time. Then we saw the mythical creatures that live in the forest also heading our way. Some gnomes knocked me off my feet as they were running by. Ford lifts me up once everyone past by.

"The rift has shattered. Bill's world is spilling into ours and every minute his powers are growing stronger." Damn it. I screwed up big time. Oh god. What have I done. The guilt is eating me up. I must fix this.

"Mabel, the rift must have cracked inside her backpack." I hope that this is the case but my mind tells me that I am wrong. She must have made a deal with Bill or something. No! Stop it Dipper! Don't think like that! Mabel would never do anything like that! She knows what Bill is like and would refuse anything that Bill tells her, right? "She must be in danger! I have to go find her!"

The guilt is eating me alive. I must know that she is safe. It's all my fault. Maybe I should have at least told Ford that I would think about his offer or discuss it with Mab. I start to run into the forest as fast as I can. I pull out the walkie talkie from my vest and tried to contact her.

"Mabel, come in Mabel," no response. Please no, "Mabel!" I panicked and started to hit the walkie talkie. A million thoughts went through my head. Was Mabel okay? What happened? How did the rift get broken? Is Mabel safe? Did Bill trick her into giving him the rift or did she give it willingly? No, that is not Mabel. She is smarter than that. It must have been broken off by accident. Oh, I hope she is safe for the sake of my sanity.

A hand went on my shoulder and forced me to turn around and face the owner of the hand. It was Ford. He must have followed me.

"Dipper, listen to me," Ford told me in a serious voice halting all my thoughts, "We can find your sister soon but first we have to stop Bill. If we can blast him back to the rip he came out of, we might be able to stop him before his weirdness spreads across the entire globe."

"Are you sure defeating Bill is even possible?" I questioned Ford. From what I know, Bill is a powerful demon that cannot be stopped. Plus, if we can't kill Bill, how are we even going to save Mabel? The whole world rests on our shoulders. My shoulders. What if I can't do it.

"No, I am not sure," Ford then kneels down to my height. Well, that is reassuring, "But being a hero means fighting back even when it seems impossible." I did save him from that alien machine so I can probably do this as well. I defeated Bill once, I can probably do it again. "Will you follow me?" His pep talk did released some of the worry that was building up inside of me.

"To the ends of the earth," I say with confidence and determination. 'For Mabel,' I thought.

"Good," Ford says, "because that is where we are heading." Then our moment gets ruined by a weirdness wave that causes us to race back inside the shack. We made it inside the shack just in time before the weirdness wave went over us. From the window was saw some of the effects of the weirdness wave. Some inanimate objects came to life, animals mutating, people turning to objects, and we even saw a goat grow bigger near the shack where Stan was putting up a sign.

This is my fault. I should have calmed Mabel down first but... I did try to do just that. I tried to reassure her that I would try to make things work but she didn't listen. Then again, I don't know what happened in the first place that caused her to be distraught.

"Dipper, listen, I have a plan. I have a ray gun that can potentially kill Bill but we only have one shot. We have to go out there and locate Bill but we have to be very careful. We don't know what is out there. Are you ready?" Nope.

"Yes I am."

"Let me get my gun and then let's go out there. Keep close, okay."

"Okay."

Once Ford got his gun, which he kept it in a case that is labeled 'Experiment 618,' we headed out the shack and into the unknown. As we were walking into the woods to head into the town, we heard people screaming of fear and anguish. It was really unnerving but I have to keep strong. I need to save my sister and the world. Other than that, the walk was mostly quiet. Eerily quiet. We walked fast and we were very alert to our surroundings. If any of us hear something potentially dangerous, we would take cover and check for the potential danger. It would be nothing and we would go back to head towards the town.

We eventually made it unharmed to the town. What we saw made my blood turn cold. Most of the town was ruined and on fire and there were monsters and demons everywhere. Oh, I hope Mabel is okay. Ford and I made our way around the town looking for Bill. Although it was very difficult due to the monsters that were roaming about. Not to mention the eyebats that seemed to turn the townsfolk to stone and take them to the giant pyramid that was in the sky. We eventually found him in the town square.

"There is Bill. Look for a high place that I can shoot Bill from." I scan my surroundings for any building. I then saw the bell tower but Ford pointed it out before I got to say anything.

"Ah, there. Let's head to the bell tower." So much for helping Ford. We then climbed up to the top of the bell tower.

"Dipper, check to see that Bill is still there."

"Got it," I went over the ledge and took out my binoculars, "Bill is still there and does not look like he is going to go anywhere anytime soon," I reassured Ford. I took off my binoculars and head towards Ford as he starts to take out his gun.

"Ah, my quantum destabilizer. I have been waiting a long time to use this. We only have one chance to take this shot," Ford reminds me.

Ford starts to aim at Bill who is not moving the whole time. 'This is going to work,' I thought. Well, I thought wrong because a weirdness wave went over us which turned the turn the bel into a living object causing Ford's shot to miss and hit Bill's hat. Shit. Panic swept over us and we scrambled to get out of there. But unfortunately, Bill shot at us which caused the roof where we were at to explode. I was not hurt, just knocked off my feet but that was not the case with Ford. Some wood planks were on top of him causing him not to be able to get out. In a desperate attempt to ensure that Bill would be stopped, Ford threw the journals to me and told me to run.

I ran out of the tower and hide behind a wall just in time to see Ford being turned into gold and being used as a back scratcher for Bill. Rage filled my entire being seeing Bill degrade my uncle like that. 'That bitch has the nerve to do that to my uncle.' In an anger fit, I revealed myself.

"That's enough. Let go of my uncle, or else," I screamed at Bill and showed him Journal 3.

Bill turned to look at me, "Well isn't this," Bill all of a sudden got extremely close to me, "interesting. My old puppet is coming for an encore." I am not your puppet. "You think you can stop me. Go ahead Pinetree, show me what you got."

I started to panic and flip through the books. 'Shit, I should have thought this through. Why am I so stupid.' It didn't help that Bill was pressuring me the whole time. In an act of redemption, I then jumped towards him and try to punch his eye. He stopped me before I could do it though. He then laughs. "You got guts kid but too bad you're against me. You have so much potential. Oh well. 8-ball, Teeth. You guys earned a reward. Have the kid as a snack." 'Fuck. What did I get myself into?' I then proceed to run and scream while Bill went to the floating pyramid in a decked out car. I kept running and running trying to find a place to hide until I found a small opening just big enough for me to slip through. I ran faster and squeezed through the opening and found another crack for me to go through. Once I went out of that opening, I heard 8-ball and Teeth bust through inside the building I was just in. Keep running and don't stop moving. If I wasn't screwed before, I am infinity percent that I am screwed now.
