Chapter 11

Bill Cipher was now under the custody of kids. Not just mere kids of everyday life. No. Those were not kids at all. They were detectives; in other words, kids who were not afraid of the impossible. Tyrone and Matt, two unrelated foster brothers who just love eachother very much, were the ring leaders. Destiny, Tyrone's girlfriend was there for support as well as other kids. There was Lucy and Shinji, two of Matt's classmates who formed a very special friendship and of course there was Owen, the one kid who actually looked like he was regretting all this. Bill didn't blame him. In fact, he wanted to see why the heck he was caught and what they wanted from him.

"You know what is going on in town Bill. There is a hacker playing with everyone's lives." said Tyrone.

"We also met someone who knew you. And he told us you were involved with his life." said Destiny.

Bill nodded with a blink of his one eye. "Yes. I know who you mean. But If I did something to him, then I probably forgot. It's been so long ago." said Bill.

"Spill it! What are you doing to our town!?" cried Shinji.

Lucy grabbed her step brother's shoulder. "Calm down." she said. Shinji nodded, knowing Lucy was not liking this. Matt also noticed and stood by their side.

Owen then walked in front of everyone, covering Bill. "Please everyone. He really changed. He's not doing anything bad as of late." pleaded Owen.

"I know you are friends with his nephew, but he is nothing like him!" said Destiny.

Lucy walked forward and looked at Bill right in the eye. Everyone was taken aback by this girl's courage to look at this abnormal creature face to face. Matt was watching and he couldn't belive it when Lucy then placed her hand on Bill's side.

"Please, I know your scared. But there is a great evil in our town. And if you don't help us out, we won't know what to do." said Lucy with a pleading voice. No one was sure if she was acting, or sincere. Not even Bill could figure it out. Instead he looked at her with his one eye and blinked.

"You look familiar. Why do I know you? I never met you." said Bill.

"Cut the small talk. Davy, the man you possesed, told us about you. And you know what is going on. SPILL IT DEMON!" demanded Tyrone. Bill looked up at Tyrone and he seemed to get a little aggitated.

"When Davy and Ford were around in town, there were many who knew of my existance. The old Viscount Northwest, Old Man MacGucket before he went insane, Mistress Corduroy..." said Bill.

"Wait a second! Mistress Corduroy?" asked Owen.

"Oh yeah! Your Grandma!" said Bill.

"What is he talking about?" asked Shinji.

"That's my family name. Corduroy. Wendy is my sister." said Owen.

"What about this woman?" asked Destiny.

"None of you met her because she is dead. Mistress Corduroy was a witch who lived for a long time in Gravity Falls. She never told her family about her mystic roots. I was a close friend of hers." said Bill proudly.

"And what does this have to do with our Hacker problem? We are talking about today, not a history lesson." said Tyrone.

Bill looked directly at Tyrone with fire in his eye.

"Change that attitude. I'm trying to tell you something important. Perhaps something from the past might help you fools with what's going on today." said Bill.

"How come you never told me this?" asked Owen.

"I was going to tell you about it in good time. Not even Caspar knows." said Bill.

"What of the witch?" asked Matt.

"Mistress Corduroy had a lot of old relics hidden away in one specific place. Enchanted Forest." said Bill.

"The theme park?" asked Destiny.

"Yes. The Log Ride has a secret room where the old lady put all the relics. Most of the things there are cursed. And dangerous." said Bill.

"Wow! I can't believe this." said Owen.

"There is a way to get there in a blink of an eye. The mirror in the lake. You know, the one you used to save the missing children last year? That will help you." said Bill.

"You didn't really tell us what we wanted to know. WHO IS THE HACKER?! We didn't kidnap you just to learn about some old hag and her old cursed toys from the 80s!" cried Tyrone.

"Trust me kid, the lady had things there that might answer a few things. For all we know, the Hacker could be someone who may have accessed the codes to everything in Gravity Falls." said Bill.

"And only the town? That doesn't make sense." said Matt.

"But think about it Matt. The Hacker by far has been terrorizing town. And only the town. Nowhere else. And since you and Tyrone are from here, then it could be possible he might be someone who knows all of us." said Lucy.

"Well our uncles did have a ton of enemies here. And did Dipper and Mabel." said Tyrone.

Lucy looked at Bill and couldn't take her sight off him. Bill also exchanged his stare, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something familiar about the girl. Bill wanted to remember, but nothing was coming to mind. Lucy also looked as if she wanted to tell him something important. Bill then looked at the others who were standing there discussing what to do and what they might find in the room. Matt then spoke to Bill.

"Say we go to the witch's old room. What will we find that may help us with our problem?" asked Matt.

Bill closed his eye and tried to remember. "Old lady Corduroy had an old gameboy that had multiple codes. You see, she was always fond of technology and science. Of course, in her time back in the 60s, computers were mostly used by NASA and other government facilities. She once had to take the form of a secretary looking woman to work in different locations where codes and technology were present. However, she found a ton of cryptic stuff that made her skin shiver with fear. In fact, most of the codes were a collection of noises, old videos, and songs with messages in them. She then stored each and every one of them in that gameboy by expanding the memory." said Bill.

Tyrone and Matt turned to one another. "Your thinking what I'm thinking little bro?" asked Tyrone.

"Yeah. We need to find the gameboy, and work on it with the help of the one guy who can check it all." said Matt.

"Dipper. He would crack it all in a second, but he's off in college and we don't want the hacker to know we are on to him." said Tyrone.

"Now you belive these codes might help us?" asked Shinji clearly annoyed by all this head scratching.

"The Hacker that is attacking town thinks he can scare us. But what if somewhere in those codes, we find something that might be able to stop him?" asked Tyrone.

"I can crack them." said Owen raising his hand.

"You? Are you sure?" asked Matt.

"I'm doubly sure. Not to brag or anything, but your looking at the top programmer in the Robotics club at School. I can check your codes easy." said Owen.

"But everything is on a gameboy. The old woman must have used her magic to put it all in." said Shinji.

"Possible. But it is also possible that she could have hacked into the gameboy and added things with ease. She could have either played and tinkered with the small hardrive, and she may have inserted something stronger like a chip that the gamboy could have read at the time." said Owen.

"You like this sort of thing huh?" asked Shinji.

"Computers are my passion." said Owen.

"Yes they are. Now can you untie me Owen old pal?" asked Bill.

"Sure thing." replied Owen.

"Not so fast." said Lucy grabbing Owen's shoulder. She stood up front on to Bill and everyone was taken aback.

"Bill, I want you to tell me the truth. What do you know of the Dark Master?" asked Lucy.

Bill's eye turned blood red with anger. "You dare speak of this?!" he cried with a shriek. Everyone felt cold. Bill never used that dark tone of voice before. Other times he did use voice tones to express his powers or his mood, but this time it was darker and more sinister than anything everyone could have heard. Lucy didn't budge.

"Where is he?" she asked more directly. Bill then began to moan and shriek with anger and desperation.

"What's going on?" asked Owen walking backwards. Matt quickly pulled Lucy away as Bill started to free himself.

"Get behind me!" cried Matt. Tyrone then pulled the two kids together and put them both behind himself and Destiny also stood her ground.

Bill was then free from where he was tied up and floated into the air with anger in his eye. He then looked at Lucy and pointed at her with his bony looking black hand.

"Invoke that title one more time and you will doom us all!" he sneered with a voice that was deep and menacing. He then vanished into thin air leaving everyone freaked out. Lucy did not budge. She stood her ground and angrliy looked up at the sky.

"Your a coward Bill Cipher. Even you are scared of a "man"". she whispered to herself. No one there heard her there, but at least they got what they needed.

"First Davy, then Bill, and now we are looking for a hacked Gameboy with codes that "might" help us. I'm still not convinced." said Tyrone, totally ignoring what just happened.

"More importantly, who is this Dark Master you speak of Lucy?" asked Shinji.

Lucy turned to her friends and spoke. "Another evil being. He's worse than Bill. I met him years ago when I was a little girl, but I wanted to know if he was here in town or not. If he was, then maybe he could have been resposible for this." said Lucy.

Tyrone smiled and placed his hands on Lucy's shoulders. "I know who you are talking about. And don't worry about it. Last year, we fought with some of his worshippers. They are no longer with us." said Tyrone.

Destiny nodded. "I had a cousin who was obsessed with that. And his obsession killed him in the end." said Destiny.

Lucy smiled, but she still didn't look conviced. Something in her was not right and Matt could tell.

"So what is this mirror Bill was talking about?" asked Owen, changing the conversation.


The Groke, Hartley Hare and Morso, three of the mirror's keepers summoned the mirror from the lake and a new portal was opened. Tyrone and Matt were gladly showing off the wonder they helped make the year prior. Shinji looked at it with excitment.

"You told me about this mirror last year, and I never saw it with my own eyes." said Shinji.

Hartley spoke proudly. "We made some new adjustments to the mirror. You can now travel to places with no plane tickets and no gas."

"So where to guys?" asked Morso.

"To Enchanted Forest. There is someting we need to fetch there." said Destiny with a smile.

"Enchanted Forest is closed for the season." said Hartley.

"Which is perfect! You see, we are looking for an old gaming system that has old codes." said Owen.

"We all need to go and figure it out." said Matt.
