A/N Well, welcome to the end of the story, "Code Omega". I hope you like it. It has been over a year since I started writing this story. It was awesome to write this!
And as usual, Disney owns Gravity Falls.
The sun, sets on another day, the events that happened in the light now get shrouded in darkness. Yet, for the Star Circle, light watches over it to make sure that nothing changes inside its border.
It has been only two hours since Winston fought the dark knight and disappeared in a flash of Bright light. People have already begun questioning and thinking about what had happened earlier. People talked about Shadow Company fighting one final battle, about them dropping a bomb on their target, and many other things to explain the bright light.
However, there was little time to make up stories. There were many lost and unaccounted for, and many problems left to be dealt with.
Yet, when all was said and done, Dipper, Mabel, Wendy, Stan, and Michelle were able to successfully escape the star circle before the flash of light destroyed any remnant of the dark knight or Winston. And amongst the dead were the parents of Dipper and Mabel, along with hundreds of men and women who fought Shadow Company.
"We'll find him kids, we'll find him." Stan made sure to keep comforting the kids while they waited for Winston's return, or any sign of his death. Yet, he knew that maybe even Winston Ice couldn't have survived that explosion.
The next few days were filled with searches and ceremonies in honor of Shadow Company's final defeat and of the men and women who fought for Gravity Falls, and led them to victory.
Yet, everyone had a lot on their minds, of those who have fallen, how to repay their memory, and of one leader who fought for light and saved their home from true darkness.
A week later
Winston Ice was declared KIA a few days after his disappearance. The people of Gravity Falls held their own services for those lost. And everyone paid his or her respects to the dead.
During the services, everyone had something to say about the dead, and Winston Ice was no exception.
For him, Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Michelle, and Wendy spoke of what he had done. What had happened, who he met, amongst other actions.
At the end of the day, everyone went home with tears flowing down their cheeks.
The Pines family and their friends returned home to the Mystery Shack, tears of regret and sadness drenching their faces.
They never noticed the person who left the building before they came inside.
The team went to the kitchen to make dinner, yet they never expected what they found. It was a note.
Dipper grabbed the tiny piece of paper, unfolded it before reading aloud, "There is a reason I am called 'Phantom'."
He looked up at his great-uncle, his crush, his best friend and the girl who cared for them. And they all nodded knowingly before walking outside, and looking out into the sunset.
They all were thinking the exact same thing, "It is not over yet."
