All was silent on the battlefield, so to speak.
The mob of slayers and the army of vampire slaves, killers and other turned townsfolk were glaring daggers at each other.
Gideon and Mabel were at the head of the slayer team, the general of the vampire army was at the same position, chosen to lead the army of vampires to victory or certain death.
After what seemed like hours, both sides emitted battle cries and rushed towards each other, weapons in hand.
Weapons and blades clashed against skin, bone and other metal and wood, blood sprayed on the grass, staining it with crimson droplets.

Cut after cut.
Shot after shot.
Scream after agonized scream.
Many vampires and humans were lying dead on the ground, many of the vampires had stakes through their hearts and were nothing but dust in the rising sun.
Still, both sides of the war would not give up!
Gideon went to swing a stake at Pacifica but she blocked it, instead using her hypnotic stare.
The boy tried not to fall for it, aiming a blow at her stomach before staking her making Pacifica screech in pain, crumpling to the floor.
Gideon panted, his whole body shaking from the adrenaline. His hands clutched the stake and hammer tightly as he attacked another vampire with Lee.
"For Wendy, and for Gravity falls!" they shouted in unison, the vampire slaves hissed at the like poisonous snakes, tearing a select few of the humans to pieces with their fangs and claws; their clothes, fangs and skin bearing the red residue of their deed.
 
From up on the balcony two shadowy shapes watched the carnage, one a little smaller than the other.
Mabel looked up at them; the taller one seem to be administrating orders, the other was silent, both were beneath a black umbrella.
"Dipper?" she spoke in disbelief, her brown eyes wide.
Dipper looked down and saw Mabel coming towards them.
"Mabel, what are you doing?" a man yelled out.
"My brother's up there! I'll be back for you guys" she said, Gideon ran to her.
"Hold yah horses, Mabel. Are ya sure you wanna risk it?" he asked.
"Gideon, you said from the start you were willing to take the risk of injury or death to get this town back to normal, or as normal as it can be. You even told Wendy that!" Mabel reiterated.
The albino male sighed heavily.
"I know I did...... look, promise me you'll come back alive. Even if you're the undead. I don't care, I don't want to lose you" Gideon told her, tears pooling in his impossibly bright baby blue eyes.
Mabel nodded.
"I promise" she replied sincerely, sharing another hug and look of love between them. Mabel turned on her heel, silently infiltrating the castle, neither she nor Gideon Gleeful knew if that would be their last time seeing each other or if both of them would live to see the sun rise tomorrow.

Mabel Pines slipped into Bill's chamber like a ninja, sneaking towards them when she stepped on a tripwire, the chandelier seeming to have an impenetrable cage suspended from it, the bars falling around the female slayer with a hefty "CLANG!"
Bill chuckled and turned around to see Mabel attempting to get out of her prison.
"Hello, shooting star. We meet again....but it looks like Pine Tree and I have the upper hand this time" Bill Cipher purred, an arm around Dipper who looked equally smug, a sinister glint in his eyes.
"D-Dipper? Bill?! Let me the hell out of here!" Mabel demanded.
"Not gonna happen, princess~!" Bill sang.
"After all, this protects us from potential intruders. Who knows who's going to stab me in the back?" he asked sarcastically.
Dipper walked towards her and crouched down to her level.
"I think we should let her out..." Dipper said.
Bill and Mabel were surprised at this.
"Thanks, bro-bro!" Mabel sighed in relief, holding onto her cross for reassurance.
"Oh, and we may wanna get rid of this" Dipper reached through, yanked the cross off Mabel's neck and threw it to Bill who crushed it into a fine powder, blowing it outside where it was swept into the wind.
"Dipper! what the hell! t-that was going to help me! and help you" Mabel protested, looking at her twin.
"He's brainwashed you!"
Bill laughed lowly.
"Well, if you say so Shooting Star, if you count the so-called 'brainwashing' as love" Bill sneered, both he and Dipper smiled at each other.
'What the fuck? but, how?!' Mabel thought, still trying to reach out towards her brother.
"Quite simple really" Dipper remarked, standing up.
"We both had a connection, a mutual feeling towards each other. That's how love works, isn't it?"
Mabel looked confused; her eyes widened when she realized her thoughts had been read by Dipper Pines.
Bill sighed irritably.
"Enough chit-chat, shooting star. Fight us, join us or die!" he growled, his eyes completely black.
"I'll never join you" Mabel spat, glaring back at them.
"Hmm, that will make things easier" Bill hissed, retrieving a sword and giving it to Dipper; the head vampire's hands were engulfed in blue flames.
Dipper approached the caged victim.
"Before you make your decision.... I just want you to know you'd make a great aunt" he said cryptically.
His sister gasped softly.
"Y-you mean?" Mabel stammered.
"Yes, Mabel, I'm bearing Bill's children" he said proudly, a fanged grin on his face.
Much to the slayer's disappointment, she couldn't stop the tears leak down her face, murmuring "no, no, no" over and over again.
"Welp! she's gone mad!" Bill stated insensitively.
"Take her a minute to process this.." Dipper urged, mercy showing in his expression again.

She couldn't take it.
She was going to go absolutely mad.
Her own brother had betrayed her, choosing to be with the killer vampire rather than fight in the light with her and Gideon.
Mabel curled up into a ball when the balcony door was closed, sobbing into her arms, desperately trying to break the bars with her hammer.
Of course the vampires heard her, Bill took the hammer from her by use of telekinesis, along with her stake which he threw in the fireplace.
She, of course, used the holy water canister on them, making them yell out in pain, their screeches and growls of agony echoed through the cavernous room.

Bill ground his teeth and speedily went to the cage, his gloved hands on the metal bars.

Smoke came off both his and Dipper's bodies, the water's residue drying up.

"Don't think that'll kill us, shooting star" Bill hissed acidly.

"You can come quietly and join our side, live forever or I can kill you right here, right now..."

"I'm never going to join you" Mabel spat, glaring.

Bill sighed.

"Pine tree, go into the other room, you shouldn't see this..." Bill told him lowly.

"But Bill-"

"No arguments" he stated sternly. "It's for the best, now exit. The. Room." he commanded.

Dipper looked confused and irritated but did as he was asked to.

Mabel's yells and curse words radiated through the walls.

"Ready to join us now?" Bill asked, idly twirling a butcher knife.

"No.....I'll never betray the others..." Mabel panted; her skin was cut, scratched, bitten, her clothes ripped and tattered.

"Suit yourself" Bill sang.

"Think about it. Your brother and I will live forever with our children. You on the other hand will die and rot in a forgotten tomb. The slayer who went in after her relatives oh-so loyally, like a god damn dog. You utter idiot.." he said softly, a dark chuckle punctuating his sentence.

Mabel Pines had no words, remembering the promise that she had made to Gideon.
"And who's to say your beloved Star and other friends won't join Ice, huh? You never break a promise, everybody knows that.

So why don't you come with us? we'll heal you, you'll be stronger, ruling alongside us... whaddaya say, kiddo? Is it a deal or what?"

Mabel looked down at her various injuries.

"On one condition...." Mabel said.

"Anything, shooting star."

.

.

"You let Gideon join and you don't hurt my friends..."

"Deal."

Mabel went to shake his hand, which was now aglow with a bright blue flame.
