The Ciphered Zombies It was a cool summers day in July. However it was also gloomy as it was the day for Robbie's funeral. However it was also the perfect day for a party at night at the Mystery Shack to be held. Soos was hosting it with Melody and Grunkle Stan and Wendy. "Ah, finally. A day where we get to relax and party for once without anything bad happening whatsoever." said Grunkle Stan relieved. "It's been about a week since we defeated Bill at the cost of Robbie's sacrifice. He sacrificed himself to save everyone from Bill's chaos. However today is his funeral. It's in a few hours." said Wendy. "Doods, we must remember Robbie! For he died an honorable heroic death." said Soos. "But what about everyone else who died at the hands of Bill?" asked Melody. "Eh, the people in this town are literally the dumbest for letting themselves get captured and being possessed by an all powerful space demon." said Grunkle Stan. "Tambry wasn't dumb, Mr. Pines. She was taken by Bill." said Wendy. "True, true. But most of the old people in the town were. Bud and Lazy Susan and Toby Determined especially." said Grunkle Stan. Dipper and Mabel and Ford came into the living room. "Well Stanley, Robbie's was the only one who's body was found. His soul returned to his body when he broke free of Bill's control. He's the only one who's actually dead. Everyone else's body never got found as they were all melted down into fleshy goo to create a physical form for Bill. The body of the physical form must have been taken by the remaining Russian forces. However the portal is closed for good. The remaining rifts left over from Weirdmageddon and the rifts from the original portal were all in that portal that got destroyed. They are definitely all closed up. The Russians can't create another portal as they relied on the remaining rifts to create it. Once we closed the russian portal, all remaining rifts from last summer and thirty years ago were all destroyed. Bill has to start all over again. He's back to square one. He's really angry and out there waiting for revenge. He is going to look for another opening and I have a pretty bad feeling the Russians have some left over rifts and have used it to create a portal in Russia." said Ford. "You go investigate your nerdy stuff while I prepare the party for tonight. Also I got to get dressed in black for Robbie's funeral which is probably going to be boring with tons of old people like me." said Grunkle Stan. *Scene cuts to Robbie's funeral.* Dipper, Mabel, Pacifica, Soos, Melody, Wendy, Grunkle Stan, Ford, Gideon, Old Man McGucket, Candy, Grenda, Marius, and several other townsfolk were at the funeral to give their condolences. "Hello everyone. I want to thank you all for coming to my beloved son's funeral." said Greg Valentino weeping at the death of his son. "Our baby was taken from this world at a young age. He lived a short life. Now he's gone. Wendy Corduroy, you may now say your eulogy." said Janice Valentino crying. Wendy went up to read her eulogy. "I'm Wendy Corduroy. I was one of Robbie's best friends and his ex-girlfriend. When we first met in fifth grade, I thought he was a total creep. However through the years, we eventually became the best of friends and loved hanging out with each other. We eventually started dating last summer but we ended up breaking up due to a lot of arguments and conflicts. Our relationship didn't work. We eventually became friends again and he ended up dating my best friend Tambry. May she rest in peace along with Robbie and all the other citizens who died the night of July 4th. Robbie died a hero. He sacrificed himself to save the world and the Pines family from Bill Cipher who had taken possession of him. He broke free of the possession and sacrificed himself to save everyone. He will be remembered as a hero and a friend and a son." said Wendy. "Thank you very much. Now for the other eulogies." said Janice. *Scene cuts to later in the afternoon in the funeral.* Greg Valentino was taking a nap and dreaming. Suddenly he heard a demonic laughter in his dream. He was in the mindscape. "Who's there?!" asked Greg. "Hiya, Greg." said Bill. "You! You're that triangle demon that possessed my son and killed him. Now I'll kill you." said Greg angrily. Greg then tried to punch Bill but he was hovering and too fast for him. "Yeesh relax. I can bring Robbie back from the dead you know." said Bill. "You can do that?" asked Greg. "Sure I can. I only need a small FAVOR from you in return." said Bill in a demonic tone. "What is it that you want?" asked Greg. "We'll work out the details after I resurrect Robbie which I'll need your body for. I need it so I can summon him from his grave with a spell that will return him to normal." said Bill. "It's a deal!" said Greg as he shook hands with Bill. He then started to possess Greg. "Greg"/Bill then woke up. "What did you do to me?" asked Greg. "Just keeping my end of the deal. Well rather enacting my plans. You got tricked so easily by me. I was never bringing Robbie back. I needed your body to summon the dead from their graves so I can unleash them on the town." said "Greg"/Bill. "You evil jerk! Using my son's death to trick me! That is messed up!" said Greg angrily. "I'll tell you what, I'll give you your body back after I summon the zombies." said "Greg"/Bill. "NO!!!" screamed Greg in terror. "Greg"/Bill then went outside of the Valentino Funeral Home and was ready to recite the incantation. "Corpus Levitas! Diablo Dominium! Mondo Vicium!" shouted "Greg"/Bill. Zombies started rising out of their graves outside the Funeral Home and in the Cemetery. "Greg"/Bill allowed himself to be bit by a zombie so he can gain control over all the zombies and make them part of his hive mind. Their eyes glowed yellow and gained a black slit for a pupil. *Scene cuts to outside the Mystery Shack at night.* The party was getting started and people were coming. "Doods, this is one of the best parties we've ever thrown." said Soos. Dipper and Pacifica were dancing in an embrace. "My brothers enjoying his new girlfriend I see." said Mabel. "Watch when she dumps him when he starts sweating like crazy. The kid smells like baby wipes." said Grunkle Stan. "Now, Stanley! What have I said about making fun of Dipper?!" asked Ford. "Stanford, lighten up a bit. I'm joking around." said Grunkle Stan. "Guys, what's that?" asked Wendy as she heard movement coming from within the forest. "Zombies!" shouted Dipper and Mabel at the same time. The ciphered zombies revealed themselves. "Not again!" said Grunkle Stan. "Doods, it's worse this time as they are being controlled by Bill. But still you gotta admit, this is pretty rad dudes." said Soos. "We'll just defeat them with a three part harmony like last time!" said Mabel. "That won't work this time, shooting star." said "Greg"/Bill. "Mr. Valentino, I'm sorry about this. Bill must be destroyed. I'll find a way to resurrect you afterwards." said Ford as he aimed his gun at "Greg"/Bill and shot. "Ha! Sixer, you sly dog! Did you really think I'd let that happen?!" asked Bill. "He must have possessed him and used the incantation at the funeral home." said Dipper. "Smart as ever, Pine Tree. However now it's time for you and Shooting Star to die!" said "Greg"/Bill gleefully as he got out of Greg's body. Greg than ran off. The ciphered zombies were advancing towards the Pines and their friends. Wendy kept shooting arrows at them but it was no use. Gideon was using his powers to tear apart the ciphered zombies but it was no use. Melody was throwing chairs at the ciphered zombies but that didn't work either. Ford then took on the ciphered zombies with his guns to distract them. Dipper, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan went to the rooftop with a radio while the ciphered zombies were distracted. "This time I'm picking the song." said Dipper. He put in a karaoke version of an 80s synth-pop song. "We're talking away. I don't know what I'm to say. I'll say it anyway Today's another day to find you, shying away. I'll be coming for your love, okay?" said Dipper singing. "Take on me! (Take on me!) Take me on! (Take on me!)." sang Dipper, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan. "I'll be gone! In a day or two!" sang Dipper. The Ciphered Zombies started exploding. "I think it's working! Keep going!" said Mabel. The ciphered zombies then turned into green fleshy goo and created a new physical form for Bill. "Oh no!" said Dipper. "We got this!" said Mabel. "So needless to say. I'm odds and ends. But I'll be stumbling away. Slowly learning that life is okay. Say after me. It's no better to be safe than sorry." sang Dipper as he, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan jumped off the roof with the radio and headed for a cart. They got in the cart and drove around the forest and sang while Bill's zombie physical form chased after them. "Take on me! (Take on me!) Take me on! (Take on me!)." sang Dipper, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan. "I'll be gone in a day or two!" sang Dipper. The music played as Bill's zombie physical form chased the three through the woods in their cart. He tried to unleash a tendril on the roof of the cart but missed. "Oh, things that you say. Is it a life or just to play my worries away? You're all the things I've got to remember. You're shying away. I'll be coming for you anyway." sang Dipper. "Take on me! (Take on me!) Take me on! (Take on me!)." sang Dipper, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan. "I'll be gone in a day!" sang Dipper. Bill's physical zombie form was starting to unravel. "Take on me! (Take on me!) Take me on! (Take on me!)." sang Dipper, Mabel, and Grunkle Stan. "I'll be gone in a day!" sang Dipper as Bill's physical zombie form exploded and was destroyed. "We did it!" said Mabel. "Nice job, pumpkin!" said Grunkle Stan. "Ah, you did it! You've stopped Bill again! Brilliant!" said Ford. "We could've been killed for real that time. Thank goodness, we weren't." said Mabel. "There's one thing I don't understand. Bill's hive mind power. He's never been able to do it before. This seems to be a new power he has." said Dipper. "That's very strange. I've never known him to have that ability. Well I suppose I did see him use it at that diner I went to many years ago. All the customers there had yellow eyes and were staring at me. But it's stronger this time and he's able to connect himself with others in ways he never was able to before. When he was resurrected, I have a feeling he got new and stronger powers." said Ford. "But how?" asked Mabel. "I don't know. But I have a feeling something is out there. Something or someone really dangerous. Possibly more dangerous than Bill. But the odds of that are extremely low." said Ford. *Scene cuts to the circular silhouette with one eye watching the Pines family through a crystal ball. The eye glows.*
