On the bus, on the way back to gravity falls, Dipper pines was writing and doodling in his journal, while Mable pines was trying to get her brother's attention. They were now 14 years old and going back to Gravity Falls for the summer. Mable was more than overly exited to see everyone again and Dipper, though he didn't show it, was exited about another summer of fun, adventure, and mystery.

The moment they got to the mystery shack, they were met by their great uncles, Stanford and Stanley, as well as everyone else who tried to help during weirdmogedon. They were embraced so tightly, they nearly turned blue. They told everyone hello and said that it was good to be back. However, they needed to get settled in. Everyone was upset at this, but completely understood, and went off to do whatever they usually do.

After getting settled in, Dipper wanted to go monster hunting in the woods. Mable agreed to this, grabbed her grappling hook, and followed Dipper downstairs, and out the door. They traveled through the woods for about 30 minutes before Mable spotted something. It looked like a book with a metallic cover. She tugged at Dipper's sleeve and dragged him towards the object.

"What's this?" Dipper asked

"Looks like some kind of book" Mable said in the same confusion Dipper had

Dipper picked up the book and blew off the dust. What they saw for the cover horrified them. There was a metallic triangle with a single eye in the middle of it, just like bill!!! The only difference was that the pupil was replaced with a one. When dipper opened the book, there was a picture on the front of the first page with the words "This journal belongs to Brittney Cipher". That confused the pines twins a little. Who in the world was this Brittney Cipher? What confused them even more was the picture. It was a picture of two human children, a boy, and a girl. The children wore yellow clothes, that looked very formal, with slight brick patterns on it. They both had an eye-patch. The boy's was on his left eye, the girls on her right eye. They both had top hats on their heads. They were running, the boy running ahead of the girl and looking back at her. They looked very happy.

Suddenly, the twins heard something rustling in the bushes. It came from behind them. They slowly turned around. Dipper stood up, slowly crept over to the bushes, and moved one of the branches. Quickly and unexpectedly, a human teenage hand grabbed Dipper's arm and gripped it tightly. Dipper struggled to get away, even with Mable pulling on him. When the hand finally let go, Dipper and Mable looked down and stared in horror. On the ground, covered in formal rags, was a teenage boy who looked to be around the age of 17 years old. He had blonde hair, light skin, and his attire was yellow with a brick pattern at the bottom. He also wore a top hat that was slightly tattered at the edges. The boy lifted his head, and Dipper and Mable let out a scream. The boy was covered in cuts, his right eye was a darkened cyan that was trying to become lighter, but what made him so frightening was the eye-patch he wore over his left eye. It was in the shape of a triangle with a single, yellow, eye right in the middle of it. The boy was a human disguise of Bill's. He reached out a gloved hand to the twins, struggling to breath, as if he had been running for quite some time. He spoke in a weak voice

"P...pine t-tree...S-shooting...s-star..."

The twins didn't know what to make of this. He seemed very weak, almost to the point where he would pass out. His head hung and he said

"H...h-help...me...p...p-please..."

Suddenly, a figure flew above the twins' heads. The figure looked like Bill, except the clothes looked new, he was a bit taller, his skin was kinda pale, and he had an unnaturally wide smile on his face. Some kind of blue glowing strings appeared from his fingertips and wrapped themselves around Bill's joints, neck, chest, wrists, and ankles. Two of the strings shot themselves in the dead center of the back, and the back of his head. Bill's head shot up. His visible cyan eye was scarcly bright and very cloudy. There was no longer any light in his eye, which was odd considering that there was light everywhere in that part of the woods.

Bill slowly started to stand, chuckling to himself in the process. The chuckling turned into mad laughter as Bill began to levitate. The laughter grew louder and louder. This frightened the twins to the point where they couldn't move. They closed their eyes, and braced for impact.

Bill suddenly let out a pained cry. When the twins looked up, they could see Bill trying to fight back against the person controlling him. He was breathing hard and pulled restlessly on the strings, but to no avail. The figure made Bill raise his hand, and conjure up some blue fire to throw at them. Bill, however, managed to get enough control over himself that he cried out to the twins

"K-kids... p-please..."

He raised his hand to fire at them, but not before he shouted

"RUN!!!"

His laughter came back and became very insane as he threw a ball of fire at the twins. They narrowly dodged the attack and began to run. Bill was behind them with the silhouette of the other man above him, maneuvering the strings attached to Bill. The twins just kept running at an impossible speed until they came back to the shack. They quickly got inside. As Bill and the figure came through the trees, they ran smack dab into the Unicron hair barrier. Bill and the figure somehow knew that they wouldn't be able to get through, so they just turned around and left.
