Chapter 31
A couple of days have passed and nothing has happened. However, some good things did occur for the time. Stan and Ford returned to the shack and reunited with their family, Dipper, Mabel, Soos and his own family. Even loyal friends of the Pines showed up to greet the travelers.
And as the days did indeed pass, little by little, some missing children started to reappear. Not all of them of coarse, but a few. Matt and his pal Shinji greeted a few friends that were gone, but some were still not home.
Destiny also noticed the difference, but there was still this uneasy feeling in the air. Back home, Tyrone could also feel it too. Despite that some kids were returning home safe and sound, they had no memories of what had happened to them. There was something going on beyond the mirror. He thought of what the Mothman is going through, and what battles he was fighting. He was so glad Matt was never any of those missing kids. But the idea did scare him. What if Matt was one of them? No. Heaven forbid the awful idea.
A few days before, Bill and the Mothman released a few coffins into the real world, although in secret. They were in some black dimension, and the coffins each had a sleeping child in it. One by one, and with the best they did, they managed to save a few. However, while this was going on, Bill turned to the Mothman.
"What is your goal? Why are you doing this for mere humans?" asked Bill.
"I'm doing this because Gravity Falls needs saving. I cannot stand by and watch the town burn like when you did your apocalypse." Said the Mothman.
"I had the town in the palm of my hand, and the world was closer to me. But there was nothing you could have done to stop me." Said Bill mockingly.
"I saw that you were going to fail. That is why I never intervened in your takeover." Said the Mothman.
"Mark my words. You will one day see a vision of yourself dying in my grip! Or someone else's! I don't know, but you will die!" said the Mothman.
"Legends never die." Replied the Mothman.
"Oh hell yeah they do! Remember the Slender Man? He died." Said Bill.
"That was a different matter, and he was no legend. He was an upstart who poisoned minds. Yon precious Momo, Bogey Man, and Owl Man met their fates because their power was given by YOU!" said the Mothman.
Bill laughed. "You got that right. I created some of those beasts to turn this world upside down! The apocalyptic way I call it!" said Bill.
"Your mad." Said the Mothman.
Bill then grabbed a coffin. "For once your right. I am Mad. And I'm mad enough to do this!"
Bill opened the coffin and pulled the child from within. Bill closed his eye and opened it to reveal a black hole, oozing with blood. The blood drips touched no the child's face his eye's opened yellow. Bill's body vanished and the boy moved like a possessed toy. He then smiled wickedly and the Mothman watched in horror.
"Didn't see that coming did you?" he asked.
"What have you done!?" cried the Mothman.
"This is my power! I will use it to destroy the North Wind myself, and reclaim what I lost! As for you Moth, I guess I'll lock you up with all these poor little deadbeats and make life a living hell out there!" said Bill.
"How could you be so heartless Bill!? How could you!? Your mother and father were NEVER like you!" cried the Mothman.
"Don't bring them into this! This is my story now, and my rules!" Bill exclaimed. He then floated towards the exit of the dimension, leaving the Mothman behind, as well as the coffins.
"DAMN YOU BILL CIPHER! DAMN YOU! CURSE YOU!" cried the Mothman as Bill escaped by going through the mirror.
The Groke, Hartley and Morso were by the mirror and they screamed.
"What are you doing out here?! What about the kids?!" cried Hartley.
Bill ignored him and quickly smashed the mirror. "NO you fool! That was the only way we had to rescue the kids!" cried Morso.
"Kids smids! You all have probably forgot, but this town is mine! I didn't provide it to be a wholesome community! I will recreate this town in my image and leave this world! All the Dimensions will bow to me!" said Bill.
"Your insane as ever! We should have killed you at the mountain!" cried Hartley.
"Since you freaks of nature saved my life back there, I'll let you guys off the hook. However, this won't change the fact you will be my slaves once I rule this town!" cried Bill as he floated into the sky.
"This is bad! And we can't summon a new mirror! Not right now at least! It will take us days to recreate this thing!" cried Morso.
The Groke shot a light beam of ice to hit Bill, but she unfortunately missed. "It's no use! We have to warn the Pines! It's the only way!" cried Hartley.
