When the Twilight Rises (Gravity Falls OC Fanfic)

Who I am, Not What I am

Flurry of colors... that was what Twilight saw at first when her vision returned to her.

She fell on something solid, knowing that it wasn't ground. Her blurry vision cleared up when she saw she was trapped in a bubble of sorts. Going into her human form, Twilight tried to ram into it at full force, punching and kicking with all her might. She even tried using some of her powers... but the bubble wasn't fazed. She figured it must be the work of her father since only he could conjure up a bubble this sturdy.

"Let me go you insane, three sided...!"

The sound of a familiar voice caught her attention, making her turn to her right to see Ford next to her. Never had she been this happy to see someone, but also worried that he was here too.

"Ford!" She called out, banging her fist against the bubble.

"Twilight? Wh-What is this place?"

He tried to walk around the room, only to find out his ankle was chained to a normal looking couch... almost too normal. Then the air was filled with singing, Bill rising up from the ground while singing and playing piano.

We'll Meet Again

Don't know where

Don't know when

Oh I know we'll meet again

Some sunny day~🎵

Both Ford and Twilight glared at the Dream Demon. Normally she would be entertained by her father's songs, but not anymore after everything that has happened...

"Wh-Where are we?" Ford asked.

"You're in the penthouse suite kid! The tip of the pyramid!"

With a snap of his fingers, a glass that's the same as the one Bill was holding appeared in Ford's hand while Twilight got a packet of apple-juice.

"Have a drink, make yourself comfortable." Bill takes a sip from his eyelid. "Y'know that couch is made from living human skin?"

Twilight jumped when she saw the eyes and mouth appear on the thing. She figured as much... Ford backs away, dropping the glass and facing Bill.

"Quit the games, Cipher. If I'm still alive you must want something from me."

"Ah, sharp as ever Fordsy. As you two may of noticed, I've recently had a multi-dimensional makeover! I can control space, matter, and now that the dumb baby's out of the way time itself!" Bill explained, showing off the power he listed off to prove it. "But I wasn't always this way..."

He snapped his fingers, gravity returning to normal and dropping Ford in the process. Twilight looked at the scientist worriedly, hoping he was okay.

"You think those chains are tight? That bubble too small? Imagine living in the second dimension. Flat minds in a flat world with flat dreams. I liberated my dimension Stanford and I'm here to liberate yours."

Ford gotten up, giving Twilight a nod of confirmation that he was okay.

"There's just one hitch." Bill produces a projection from his eye. "As it turn out, my weirdness can't escape the magical confines of this town. There's something keeping me in."

Twilight jaw drops at the projection of a barrier keeping her father in. That got her thinking... could she not leave as well? And just days ago she thought she would have to leave once the Summer was over.

"Incredible... Gravity Falls natural weirdness magnetism. I studied this years ago!" Said Ford.

"And did you find a way to undo it?" Bill asked.
