*"Andy, you have visitors!"* Andy's Mom shouted. Andy hardly knew the guy he was about to see, but that man was so content on playing with his toys with him. He left his room and as he rounded the corner, his eyes met Okabe Rintaro's.  Observing the scene, he noticed Okabe brought a grey puppy with him. The puppy gave him a glare, as if to look concerned, but despite that it didn't bark as you'd expect a puppy to. He seemed well trained.

*"If you don't mind, might I have a little play session by myself today?"* Okabe said calmly. It threw Andy off, as he was so used to his "Insane Mad Scientist" act he usually put on. However, he found himself still staring at the puppy, and the puppy found himself staring right back.

*"Oh,"* Okabe chuckled, *"this is your new play-mate today, I figured you two could play outside. He won't bite."*

*"Is it okay?"* Andy asked, looking towards his Mom. She quickly nodded, and Andy took off outside as the puppy followed him, playfully barking along the way.

Okabe heads into Andy's room, only to find the Deputy himself sitting on Andy's bed.

*"I've time leaped from eight years in the future. Do you have it? Please, tell me you have it!"*

Woody sighed. He looked sad, shifting his gaze away from Rintaro. His time was up, and he had to go back to being an average toy again. *It was fun while it lasted*, he thought, *maybe Andy will trust me like Rintaro did.* He turned his gaze back toward Rintaro and coldly nodded before breaking the silence with, *"Sure do, partner."*

Woody stuck his fingers to his lips and let out a strange whistle -- not the one he normally calls Bullseye with, but rather its pitch went up and down 3 times. It was probably for the occasion. Bullseye darted off toward the toy box, so it seemed to still involve him, but several other toys followed him. After some rumbling, the toys returned with a golden key attached to a necklace. Okabe's eyes lit up.

*"AHA! It's here! It's actually here! That pup led me straight to it!"* said Okabe while cracking a wide grin.

*"A-are you okay?!"* Woody stammered, putting his hands to his hips.

*"Probably not, but that'll be the least of your concerns in a few minutes!"* Okabe responded, his expression now turned into quite an evil grin.

*"Uh... W-what do you mean? What are y-you going to do with it?"*

Okabe giggled, *"Oh, I dunno, what sounds more fun? Ripping the fabric of reality into origami, or altering the river of time until it becomes a soup?!"*

Woody's jaw dropped, and without giving orders of retreat, Bullseye took the key and ran towards the window.

*"AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TOO LATE, SUCKERS!"* Okabe said while closing the distance between him and Bullseye in only a couple steps. He lifts his foot high, just before slamming it on top of Bullseye, pinning him to the ground and forcing him to drop the key. Bullseye let out a squeal.

Okabe snatched the key. *"Were you trying to get to that window? Let me help!"* He lifted the crippled Bullseye and walked over to the window, opening it.

*"Ride like the wind, Bullseye! Now you can fly in the wind, too! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!"* Okabe laughed as he chucks Bullseye out of the window.

Horrified, Woody responds with, *"BULLSEYE! NO! Okabe, are you out of your mind?!"*

Okabe smirked, *"Yeah, you could say Okabe's out of this mind. Sure! He's probably floating around as a ghost shrieking about all the fun we're having. What a downer! Oh well. Come to think of it, this head would be pretty useful when I control time and space. Too bad I'll have to give it up just to do such a thing. To think this mad scientist couldn't handle REAL chaos! Speaking of, that dog's gotta learn how to shake for me too, that's where the party really starts. Later, toys! Have fun being inanimate!"*

*"Just what are you?!"* Woody shouted as Okabe slammed the door shut.

Okabe exited Andy's room and approached the front door. Just before getting there, he stopped to check out Andy's Mom. She was passed out in the middle of the kitchen floor, her head surrounded by drool.

*"You humans make it too easy! Something tells me you wont be waking up to your reality, missy. Sweet dreams!"* Okabe snickered, before going outside.

A short walk to the neighborhood park it was, and Okabe grew more eager with every step. When he arrived, he found Rocky chasing Andy in circles in the sand pit. He approached, but part of the way through Andy saw Okabe and decided to greet him halfway.

Okabe started, *"Oh! Andy, I really must thank you for letting me to that. I'm sure you were probably worried I'd misplace some of your toys, but I tried my best to leave them all where I found them when I was done."*

*"It's okay,"* said Andy, *"I find my toys in weird spots all the time. I think Buster gets into my room just to mess with them."*

*"I see. Well, have you introduced Buster to your new friend here yet?"*

*"No, not yet! Do you want me to go bring him? I'll have to ask mom first!"*

Okabe did his best not to crack a grin, but the temptation was terrifyingly strong. He replied, *"Go ahead and do that. I think we'll pass the time in the shade while we wait."*

Andy ran off towards his house. As soon as he turned a corner, Okabe pulled out the Alvis' key necklace and walked over to the shade with Rocky. Rocky perked his ear, with the other one flopping over.

*"So he did have it! That's good. We can restore the world line with this, right?"*

*"Y-yes. That was the plan..."* Okabe said with a hint of nervousness. *"But you have to promise you'll do this for my world. For Steins Gate."*

*"Of course!"* Rocky barked, *"You don't need to worry. Alvis entrusted that key to me because he knew I could use his power wisely."*

*"W-well, so we have a deal?"* Okabe stretched his arm out, offering a handshake.

It was time.


*"Deal."*

...

Rocky comes to a freeze. What is this feeling? He felt as if his soul were being ripped from his body as he shook hands with Rintaro. And without thinking, his mouth started chanting: *Dlrow ruo depahs yllaretil evah, laicifitra dna larutan htob, snoisolpxe!*

His body now had a mind of its own. Just as he lets go of Rintato's hand, he notices Rintaro fall limp. He's dizzy. *What's going on? Is that really Okabe?* Just as those thoughts came to his head, he heard a voice.

*"What's going on? Is that really Okabe?"* The demon said, echoing Rocky's thoughts. *"What's wrong? Don't recognize me, recycler? It was thanks to you that I can manifest in this world now. You're a real lifesaver! Well, I guess that was short lived since you aren't real anymore. A-hahahaha!"*

Rocky noticed his body was actually the one speaking and giving gestures, but it obviously wasn't being controlled by himself. He could do nothing but tremble... spiritually, that is, since he possessed no physical form anymore. Moments later, he was shoved out of the way-- well, at least his spirit was. He had been tricked.

*"Ha! That look on your face is the funniest thing! Hilarious, even. Oh, the expressions people are capable of when horrified! Better get used to it, puppy. This is only the start!"*

Rocky exclaimed *"Who a--"* before being cut off by the possessed Rocky: *"'re you?' Oh, come on! Don't tell me Okabe's the only one who could remember me on this worldline. Ah, well. The name's Bill Cipher! I'm here to make things weird. Here, have a lamp post from France."*

Bill clapped his paws and the sun momentarily appeared solid black, and a chunk of land fell out of it. The chunk of land had small bits of gravel, sidewalk and grass on it, but the most obvious part of it was a tall black lamp post which was flickering just before the land crashed into the ground. It "landed" on top of Rocky, but being a spirit it simply phased through him. Bill broke out into laughter.

*"I'm just itching to get started with this party. How about you be the main guest!"*

Rocky felt himself pulled towards Bill before being bound to glowing chains. The world span around and faded into an illusion. It was just him and Bill now.

Rocky tried to process what was going on, then spoke, *"What happened? Bill, let me go! What do you want? What are you doing?"*

Bill grinned, *"So dramatic! I think you need a break from your powers. Who let you in charge of something this powerful anyways? Actually, don't answer that. I'm sure he has the best judgement! I'll have to PERSONALLY thank him later. Anywho, I've got a place to make weird. We weren't too far from it, actually. Not that it matters, since, y'know, I have access to instant transmission of the physical universe and all."* He winked, then the world came flashing back. They were in Andy's room. Andy wasn't there, but you could hear him screaming for his Mom to wake up in the other room.

*"Back to the Toybox, I see. So this is where you all have been hiding!"*

Woody recognized the tone of that voice, and put a mean expression on. Before he could say anything, he dropped lifeless. The rest of the toys in the room immediately followed suit, unwillingly. They lost their ability to animate.

Bill glanced at them, *"Maybe you should've been accepting of your triangular overlord. I could've made you real people, but you insist on being toys, so I guess that works too!"*

Rocky doesn't want to know what happens next, but before he flees, he notices the toys start melting in front of him. They are all vanishing. What would happen to everyone? He wouldn't be there to find out. He runs. To the road, passing the neighborhoods, and before long, he grows tired. It didn't seem to make sense. Did spirits require sleep too? It wouldn't seem so, because as he looked back he saw a black hole forming where Andy's house once was. It wasn't entirely black, though. In the center of it was a single eye. Immediately, he heard Bill's laughter.

*"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST RUN AWAY? DON'T FORGET YOU'RE MY PUPPET NOW."*

He shook his arm, revealing the chains which were binding him before. He gave them a yank and Rocky was pulled back to the black hole at lightspeed.

*"I need you for my next trick. You get to watch your own body take over this place. C'mon! You get part of the credit! Aren't I generous?"*

The world twisted and turned. Places from different worldlines, different places that hosted our world merged into the setting. There was something very wrong here.

*"Welcome all, to Weirdmageddon! Reality is no more, but only this illusion!"*

Bill started pointing at places, and over different landmarks there were small hashtags floating over them. Rocky wondered what they were. Bill expected him to, and immediately responded.

*"Don't pretend you don't know, 'King Rocky'. You run one of these realms yourself. Oh, let me access that Worldline real quick."*

Instantaneously, the memories of Unified Beasts Republic came flooding into Rocky's conciousness. Ah, so this was his role. Too bad he lost it. Taking a review of the scenario, he realized what was going on.

*"N-no! Stop! You'll ruin their world!"*

*"What did you think I was doing before? I told you, I'm making things weird! I gotta say, your powers work nicely for the job, too! Now that that worldline's added, let's add to the mess there too. Speaking of, how many worldlines are we up to?"*

He snapped, and the Divergence Meter appeared. It didn't display anything, so Rocky just assumed it was broken.

*"Pfft, what a ripoff! It doesn't even work! I think I might know why, though..."* He said before snapping again. Two extra cylinders appeared on the left side, one for a tens and hundreds place respectively. Immediately, the number flickered, but only for half a second before glitching again. The number that appeared for a moment read...

`151.23----`

Bill cracked the widest grin he could and turned to face us. Outstretching his paw, he said, *"A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The time has finally come! This place is mine now! Strap along for the ride, because things are getting WEIRD!"*
