~Reverse Bill's POV~

What are you doing? A voice in my head asked. This is suicide!

I swallowed, trying to ignore it. "Drop the kids."

Bill smirked and dropped them on the ground, Pine Tree hitting his head. I winced. "What are you going to do?" He sneered at me.

I waved my hand towards the other Pine Tree's cage. It disappeared. He looked up, tears falling down his face. His eyes were glowing yellow once again. He looked a little on the insane side. I sighed. "Don't you see what you're doing?" I asked him, pointing at the boy. "You're practically making sure our downfall is coming? Did you see the boy at you feet's transformation? He could have killed us all!"

"That's why I took his power!" Bill growled.

"And what about him?" I pointed again the the sobbing Pine Tree. "You have to take his power too."

Bill hesitated. "But-"

"If you don't take it, I will," I threatened. I floated off the ground with my arms crossed.

"You can't," Bill said. "Demon regulation law 136g."

I felt energy building up in my hands. "Then stop him before it's too late!"

"No!" Bill said, energy building up in his own hands. As if we were thinking with the same mind, we both shot at each other at the same time. Our powers met, causing something the resembled a mini atomic bomb. It only really affected Bill and me, but the humans backed away from us.

A smile played at the edge of Bill's lip. An involuntary shiver ran down my spine. "When did you get so powerful?"

"I've learned that you're threats were always useless," I said. "You can't be rid of me unless you're dead."

"Yes, from your own dimention," Bill sneered. "I'm at the seniority here."

He turned to blast towards the humans, but I sent up a quick forcefield to protect them. Bill laughed. "You're too soft. How do you call yourself a demon?"

I multiplied myself, hoping to confuse Bill. Then I made myself invisible and went over to the sobbing boy. I touched his shoulder. "Don't worry," I said to Pine Tree. "I'll help you."

I helped him up, turning him invisible too. I touched his forehead, trying to draw the demon out of him. A shock went through my body and I was forced to stop before the boy engulfed my powers. This was how he got powerful. This is how he would end the population.

I looked around, not sure what to do. My invisibility was starting to fade and Pine Tree was still sobbing. Bill had easily taken out my replicas. I bit my lip, not sure what to do.

Then, Pine Tree began to scream.

~Bill's POV~

The coward! I easily crushed his replicas without breaking a sweat. Then I turned to see Bill, holding my demonoid. I gritted my teeth.

Then, the boy screamed.

Bill dropped the boy in surprise. Pine Tree held onto his head, trying to tear out his hair. He was losing his mind. I remembered when I had gone through the same process. I floated over to him. "You'll be the perfect demon that I intended you to be. I'll get stronger by your powers and, eventually, take over the universe."

I doubted the boy heard me, but it felt good to get it out. Everything was falling into place. I let out a laugh that probably sounded worse than normal.

Someone tackled me from behind. We followed for a little bit until I hit the wall. Bill punched he in the face. "Leave him alone!"

I laughed. "How cute," I said. "You're actually trying to save him."

"You know what'll happen next," he growled. The boy's personalities are splitting! His darker half will turn into you and the scared, pathetic part will turn into me!"

I smiled. Now that was painful. No wonder he was screaming so loud. "And what do you care for the boy?" I asked, pushing myself up. He pushed me back down again. I could have easily blasted him off, but I suddenly came up with an answer. "Oh. You do have a caring part of you somewhere. Just one of the many things I didn't get."

Then, I held my fingers out to make a gun shape and shot a fireball in Bill's face. He flew back just enough for me to get up. I laughed. The boy's screaming had stopped and now he was shivering violently, teeth chattering.

Shooting Star and the other PineTree ran over to his side. I saw tears shining in Shooting Star's eyes. "You know you can't help him," I said.

Now human Pine Tree stood up and held a hand in front of him. When nothing happened, shock showed on his face. "W-what'd you do?"

I laughed. "I thought you wanted to be human."

"B-but I thought-"

I cut him off by aiming a fireball at his head. Bill deflected it. "Stop," he growled. "You can't hurt a human."

I laughed. "I think I've broken that rule a few times."

Shooting Star looked up at me with tears in her eyes. Humans, such weaklings. Who'd ever want to be one?

Bill shot a fireball at me, but I deflected it easily. "How do you even have this much power?"

Bill shrugged. "I guess I've never had a chance to use it until now."

I smirked. "You can say that again." I shocked him with a ball of pure energy. He let out a small squeak of a scream and fell over on his hands and knees. "You know, it's not really hard to get rid of you."

I summoned a knife and it plunged into his side. He let out a grunt of pain. My smirk grew. Blood slowly started to stain his shirt. I knew it wouldn't kill him. He'd be up and healed in a few minutes or so. I strolled over to Shooting Star. "Have I ever explained to you what a death demon is?"

She backed away from me. "S-stay away!"

I grinned. "A death demon," I said, ignoring her. "Is when someone dies at the hands of an extremely powerful dream demon. Their soul get torn from their body, along with all their good qualities. They become a slave to the dream demon that kills them."

Shooting Star was shaking her head. Tears flowed down her cheeks. "Please!" She begged.

That just made my smile widen.

Then, something hit me hard in the back of the head. I blinked in surprise. I turned to see Pine Tree (who was missing one shoe) with gritted teeth and anger in his eyes. "Leave my sister alone!"

I chuckled. "How cute," I said. "You're actually trying to save her."

I saw him swallow. "Uh...I..."

I grabbed him by the neck and lifted him in the air. He struggled for breath and started choking. "Having two death demons wouldn't be that bad."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Stan and the author running towards us. I snapped my fingers, creating a wall and leaving them with two replicas of me. I tightened my grip on Pine Tree's neck. He had tears in his eyes now and his face was bright red. I laughed. Shooting Star was pounding on my back and yelling at me to let him go, but I hardly noticed.

Then, I felt something painful in my stomach. I dropped the boy in surprise. I faintly heard his gasps and hacking as I looked down at the knife in my stomach. A laugh escaped my lips as blood started to pool around it. "I told you to leave these kids alone!" Said a voice.

Bill rammed into me, sending me sprawling to the ground. "Take away the kid's demon powers."

"No," I said.

Bill's face came into view. He twisted the knife in my gut. "I'll be a lot more sparing than the Demon Corps," he growled.

I gropped out my hand and grabbed onto the boy's forehead. He was still shaking violently. I closed my eyes and took the powers out of him. He instantly went limp.

"Now," I said. "Get this stupid knife out of my gut!"

In answer, something smacked into my head and everything went black.

And, thus, all conflict is resolved.

Yes, this will be over probably in the next chapter.

And, I probably won't write a second book. It's not my thing and I used up all my good ideas on this one.

Besides, it seems like a pretty good ending to me.

But, hey, I'm still writing fanfics.

And suddenly I've become obsessed with monster au and...yeah. I might make some short stories with that. Hey, maybe even a whole fanfic

And I've still got Mabel, Dipper and Me, No Turning Back, Separated, Before He Was Cipher, and a bunch of Gravity Falls short stories for those of you who think I'm a pretty good fanfic writer. And I'm always looking for new short story ideas (I get most of them from fanart)

Okay, I'm out!
