Chapter 41
Tyrone and Matt arrived at Huck's place right after Gideon's. It was a small old cabin by the outskirts of town. "This place is reeking with evil." Said Matt, feeling uneasy.
"We got this little brother. Dipper and Mabel are counting on us. And so is everyone." Said Tyrone.
They both nodded and stepped into the old house. They opened the door, much to their surprise.
"Who keeps their door unlocked?" asked Matt.
"Maybe he is trusting. Since he is probably the evil one." Said Tyrone. They both entered the house and it was a mess. There were pornographic magazines all over the floor, weights by the side of the wall and some of Huck's clothes everywhere they looked.
Tyrone was feeling goosebumps everywhere he looked and Matt let out a loud fart. "Matt!" hissed Tyrone.
"Sorry. I couldn't hold it." Said Matt with a chuckle.
Tyrone chuckled too, bringing levity to the search. They eventually went to the bedroom and found exactly what they feared and expected as much.
Drawings of Bill, Violet and the Viscount were all over a wall, with notes and pictures connected to each other.
"The old man Northwest was not in his plans. According to that note… Violet chose him as a toy." Said Tyrone.
"Then this means Huck was the true mastermind behind everything. He summoned the North Wind, and he watched happily while Bill escaped and he wreaked havoc. He was simply watching the world burn!" said Matt.
"The encounter with the Mermaid back in the woods. That was also Huck's doing." Said Tyrone.
"But why is Huck doing this?! The Mothman chose him to guard the forest!" said Matt.
"That's a good question bro bro. I don't know what got into his head." Said Tyrone.
Just then, they felt someone right behind them. They turned around in fear and standing before them was a cloaked figure with a long blue cape and his eyes glowing very brightly. However, in the past, this was supposed to be a foe, but now, he was friend of theirs.
"Snooping around in people's houses now? You kids never change." Said Sam, an old friend of theirs and the Bogey Man.
"Sam!" cried Matt in excitement as he gave him a big hug.
"It's good to see you again kid. Hey Tyrone." Said Sam.
"Sam? You scared me. Perhaps, you would have if we were still enemies." Said Tyrone.
About a few months ago, Sam was once one of the Pines worst enemies. He staked them many times to destroy them, but all of that was so he could release his wife, Natalie from a prison, one that Bill locked her in.
"I understand you all have trouble?" asked Sam.
"We do. But…. Why are you dressed as the Bogey Man? I thought you were no longer magic." Said Tyrone.
"The orb you destroyed had me under Bill's clutches. I may be free, but still have my power." Said Sam.
"That makes sense." Said Tyrone, still uneasy. Sam wasn't really a friendly face and Tyrone still felt a little tense around him. He was surprised to see Matt welcoming him with open arms. Matt on the other hand was thrilled to see him. Why, it was Sam who saved Matt when he was dying in the car crash and spoke with Marcos, his brother.
"I have come to warn you all to leave at once." Said Sam.
"From Gravity Falls? We can't. This is our home." Said Tyrone.
"No, I meant this house. That boy is coming back. But he is no longer the same boy you met. In fact, I'm only here temporarily via a holographic crystal in the dream world. Me and Natalie went there to learn more of my powers and we learned about the crisis you are facing. But enough about me. You guys are in danger here." Said Sam.
"Do you know why he is doing this? Why is this happening?" asked Tyrone.
"This boy…. I knew him when he was very little. I too came from Gravity Falls. This is my hometown. He was obsessed with urban myths and magic. His parents were both fascinated with the occult that they introduced him to that world. As he dove deeper and deeper into the magic, he learned of an ancient evil known only as the Dark Master. By now, you all probably heard of him." Said Sam.
"Who is he exactly?" asked Matt.
"The Dark Master was once a man who also lived in Gravity Falls. He was a scientist, but he became obsessed with power and magic. He learned terrible spells, created powerful machines that could destroy humanity, and he became evil incarnate. Because of this, The Mothman, Linda, and the old good guardians of the world and the universe locked him up in a dimension far away from all of us. It is possible Huck wants to free the Dark Master and rule by his side." Said Sam.
"That's awful." Said Tyrone.
"We can't let that happen! If he frees him, that could be the end of the world!" cried Matt.
"I know. And he sounds even worse than Bill." Said Tyrone.
Sam then saw his arm was beginning to vanish. "This I'm going to say before I disappear back to where I come from……. Tyrone, you must NOT confront Huck. If you do…… You will lose your family…." Said Sam as he vanished into thin air.
Tyrone took this warning seriously. "Not face Huck? But why?" thought Tyrone.
"Maybe he's worried." Said Matt.
"At least we now know there is an evil bigger than we thought. We have to stop Huck first. He invoked Bill and the North Wind first. He should be stopped first." Said Tyrone as he and Matt were about to leave.
"What the hell?!" cried Huck as he entered his apartment. Indeed he did look different. He was now wearing a long black robe and his eyes were glowing yellow. He even reeked of ash.
"Huck!" cried Tyrone and Matt in unison.
"What the hell are you two doing in my place?" asked Huck. He looked behind the boys and nodded with a sinister smile.
"You two are trying to find a way to stop me? That will never happen." Said Huck. Tyrone then pushed Huck towards the wall.
"Run Matt! Run!" cried Tyrone.
Huck then pushed Tyrone with what appeared to be super human strength. Tyrone realized that what Sam said was the truth. Huck was not the same, and he was invoking a lot of evil.
"I know what you are doing. You are trying to bring the Devil out from hell." Said Tyrone.
"The Dark Master? At first. But realize that there won't be any need for the Dark Master after all. He's locked up. Despite Bill and Violet telling me to free him, I won't do it. You wanna know why? You wanna know why?!" screeched Huck, acting like lunatic.
"I have a lot of power! I have the Mothman's powers, I can control evil spirits if I wished and I can make fire out of my hands now! Look here Tyrone! I can do fire!" said Huck.
"You are getting crazy. You are not the same Huck we met." Said Tyrone disgusted by how deranged Huck was becoming.
"I have power beyond belief. I am becoming powerful! You know what else is going to happen? I will be the Dark Master! I will be Gravity Falls!" declared Huck. Behind him, Bill appeared and his eye was glowing red.
"This is true power boy. True power." Said Bill. Tyrone turned around to run as fast as he could and caught up with Matt. Huck watched them run and smile.
"Don't just stand there! Recite an incantation! Anything to stop them." Said Bill.
Huck then spoke a few words and then the ground began to shake. In a matter of moments, the ground split open.
"I am the Dark Master now." Said Huck smiling wickedly. "No Huck. No. We must free our dark lord out of his jail cell. Let him decide if you can be his prince or not okay." Said Bill.
Huck angrily looked at Bill and grabbed him by the head. "Hey! What's gotten into-"
Bill couldn't finish his sentence. Huck angrily grabs an enchanted knife from his pocket and stabs Bill in the eye. Bill screamed in agonizing pain and Huck smiled as he threw him to the ground and smashes him with his foot.
"How dare you question your king." Said Huck. Bill quickly escaped Huck's foot and in a matter of seconds, he quickly healed his eye. Upon getting his sight back he angrily looks at Huck.
"You snot nosed little shit! I gave you everything you asked for and this is how you repay me!? Forget it! If you and the North Bitch wanna create a hostile takeover, go ahead! You'll lose anyway!" said Bill.
"That won't happen." Said Huck proudly.
"It will! You underestimate those people! They stopped me many times! They will stop you too, a geeky looking powerless human!" said Bill.
"Get out! Now!" screamed Huck.
"Let's see how long you all last without my help, and the Dark Master!" said Bill as he vanished, and this time, for good. Huck nodded.
"I can do this without you Bill. I can do this." Said Huck with a grin.
