Bill had gone off to another spot in the forest with the little bit of rift. He chanted his 'the world is finally mine' before the rift triggered and formed the crack in the sky. All of Gravity Falls, watched as their sky turned demonic. Ford and Dipper ran out of the shack, just as the crack appeared over. The wind was blowing every which way it seemed.
"What's going on?" Dipper yelled over to Ford. "What is that?"
"We're too late." Ford replied. "It's the end of the world."
Alma appeared them from the forest. Dipper was freaking out over finding Mabel when she finally got to them. "I hope you have a plan." She said to them. Dipper instantly pressed himself into her jeans.
"Please tell me you found Mabel." Half of Alma didn't want to tell him. She met Ford's gaze, hoping he'd read what was in her eyes.
"Oh no." Ford managed to push out before eluding his expression from Dipper. He knew.
Dipper was eagerly waiting for an answer from anyone as his desperation was growing. "Guys, come on. Please. I'm begging you."
Alma lowered herself until Dipper's eyes were direct with hers. "I'm afraid Bill has her. Don't know where exactly. But we have to stop him first. You understand me?"
Dipper pushed Alma's hand off his back, walking back a few steps. "I have to save Mabel." The boy was rebellious when it came to his sister also, but it wasn't quite melting into his head that they needed to end the problem first.
Ford tried to push his way in, lowering also to his level. "Dipper, listen to me. She is right. We have to stop Bill first. But we will find your sister. I promise you that."
"But can he be stopped?" Dipper asked.
Ford glanced over at Alma. "I don't know. But I have an idea that may." So he has lied a little bit about finding a way to end Bill. But he still sounded confident that his could work. It is all they got at the moment.
Alma let out a deep breath before rising back to standing. "Then let's try it."

They climbed their way up to the bell tower in the church. Ford had brought his quantum destabilizer and journals. Bill was just ahead of them a few yards, chatting it up with his fellow weird creatures. The destabilizer was built for this moment. Ford stole pieces for it while they were in the multi-verse. It was the reason he was considered a criminal in there.
"We only have one shot." He said to them, opening the case that held it. This was the first time both of them have seen it as it was massive. He charged it up, aimed and locked on. Dipper and Alma held their breath as his finger was on the trigger now. This was it. Then suddenly, a weirdness wave struck the tower and the bell behind them came alive.
"I'm alive now!" It yelled out, startling Ford as his one shot beam hit Bill's top hat instead of him.
"Oh no!" Ford said instantly as Bill's hat reformed its shape in a gross fashion.
"Well, well, well. And here I thought, today couldn't get any better." Bill aimed his finger and fired his own one shot beam towards the tower.
"Look out!" Alma cried to her companions, just a second too late though as it crumbled on them.
"Great Uncle Ford! Alma!" Dipper yelled with singe marks and dirt all over him. Alma and Ford looked about the same. They were however, wedged under a pillar.
"Dipper, take my journals!" Ford cried to him after coming to. He slid the bag of journals over to him. His nephew took them without hesitation. "Listen, I know of one other way to defeat Bill its -" A noise cut him off as he instantly told Dipper to run.
