Chapter Text
So many things were happening all at once and Dipper was trying to keep up with it. A sharp pain ran through as he hit his head on the far end of the basement wall, when a blast came from the portal. He righted himself before trying to shout back over all the noise.
"MABEL! WHAT IF HE'S LYING? THIS THING COULD DESTROY THE UNIVERSE!" He pointed to his temple. "LISTEN TO YOUR HEAD!"
"What is taking her so long?" He thought, "Just push the button."
His uncle said something but Dipper gave up listening to him as soon as he saw all those IDs. "HE'S LYING! SHUT IT DOWN NOW."
Dipper quickly looked around he had only one chance he couldn't miss it. He could hear the countdown and he had only seconds to decide what to do. He pushed off as hard as he could from the wall toward the button as the last few seconds ticked away. His sister had already made her decision. she had already let go of the controls when he reached out for it.
"She didn't trust me." Said a bitter voice said in his head.
Unfortunately Dipper didn't realize how off he was until he got closer and felt the pull toward the portal's glow. His fingertips just grazing the controls as he was yanked past it.
"DIPPER!" He wasn't sure who yelled his name. It could have been any of them but he was already blinded by the light to see anyone trying to reach for him. A humming noise whistled through his ears.
Dipper hit the ground hard, skidding at least 4 feet from the impact. Dust engulfed him as he slowly sat up coughing and rubbing his left arm that was covered in scrapes. He looked down at his right arm there was a big cut from his wrist to the inside of his elbow he could feel the blood dripping and it stung badly, it also looked like it had something in it.
Dipper pulled himself up as the dust cleared and he saw madness. Much more than where he came from. There were creatures of all kinds running through debris and fighting if not each other, something else.
He looked back at the portal where he came from hoping he could slip through but it was already closed. Even if the portal stayed open long enough for him to go through, there was a jump that Dipper knew he couldn't make. He wasn't sure how he was thrown far enough from the edge the first time but he wasn't making it back that way. He was stuck, in a horrible nightmare place with know way home.
He had to get out of there, find safety somewhere in this strange place. He'll wait here...Mabel will find him...she'll find him.
She had to, but deep down he knows Mabel won't find him.
"Because she didn't trust you." The bitter voice said
"Well, well, well if it isn't Pine Tree!" Dipper froze when he heard the voice. "How great of you to join me in my world!" A chill ran up his spine.
Bill circled around the boy laughing. "Oh this is great!" Bill stopped in front of Dipper. "Come on Pine Tree, smile!" With one hand Bill grabbed Dipper's face. "Looks like Oyster opened the portal. If only you haven't come through ᴛʜᴇɴ ɪ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ʜᴀᴠᴇ."
The last words were said with such malice that Dipper really feared he would never see his sister again. He clawed at Bill's hand as his cheeks were being squished between the triangle's fingers. He needed to get out. He needed to get somewhere safe. Dipper didn't want to know what would happen if he didn't.
Bill picked Dipper and tossed him in the air and then he threw him.
Dipper screamed.
He landed on the ground.
Dipper heard a few cracks, he knew that wasn’t good.
Bill picked Dipper up and tossed him in the air again.
"God, he hated Bill." Dipper thought.
"Likewise PineTree. "
"Are you reading my thoughts?"
Bill just looked at him.
"CIPHER!" A voice made Bill look away from Dipper.
Dipper saw a figure running toward them banishing a gun aimed at the demon.
"Sixer!" Bill shouted happily dropping Dipper harshly to the ground. Dipper scrambled to back away from the demon ignoring the pain and spots he was seeing. "You've come to join us! Too bad you weren't quick enough!"
Something whizzed past the triangle just missing him. "Back off Cipher!"
"Don't be so hasty! We have company!" Bill gestured to Dipper who was swaying. "Someone from your home dimension no less!"
The figure shot at the demon again as he rushed forward next to Dipper. The stranger growled as Bill floated away laughing. He was about to pull out the pack from his back when he noticed Dipper.
"A child?" The figured looked down at him. The man's face was mostly covered. With all the dust being picked up from this place, it was probably for the best. Dipper was trying not to start another coughing fit.
There was a crash not far off from them. The figure looked around quickly bending down toward the preteen. "Please believe me when I say I will help you out of here."
Dipper nodded too stunned to move on his own, than he wondered if he could trust this person he doesn't even know, but he decided to go with him. Besides he was dizzy and hurting it felt like he broke a rib.
"Hold tight!" The older man wrapped an arm around Dipper "Sorry." The older man wisppered when Dipper whimpered.
The older man pulled him close before racing toward the edge of the platform throwing something behind him. "Don't look back!"
Dipper buried his head into the man's shoulder gripping onto the jacket hard enough to make his knuckles white. He felt the jump.
Then the Fall
