Chapter 22
Owen went back to the giant super computer in thier new secret Mystery Bros. lair along with Matt. The rule was that only two or more of the Mystery Bros would go to the lair to avoid anyone getting lost or taken away by the dark forces. Ever since Owen managed to delete the Nanites, he wanted to make sure the computers were so far so good alright.
"I don't feel so good about being here by ourselves." said Owen.
"Relax. Two or more. I'm with you and that makes us two." said Matt.
"Alright. Just making sure." said Owen nervously.
"Relax. Take it easy O." said Matt, calling Owen by his new nickname.
"O? Just the letter?" asked Owen.
"You need to get out more often man." said Matt.
"Maybe." replied Owen as he turned on the computer. He opened a few windows to check how things were, and so far there was no suspicious activity by Devin nor the Dark Master for that matter. Everything seemed fine for now at least.
"Owen can I ask you something?" asked Matt.
"Shoot it." said Owen, not taking his eyes off from the screen.
"Since we all are friends now and part of a huge group, I was wondering if you would be comfortable in a kiddie pool? Tyrone wanted me to ask you since you know, pool parties aren't everyone's thing." said Matt.
"We are having a pool party after all? Okay. Well... I don't like to be shirtless. You mind if I wear a Shirt over my shorts?" asked Owen.
"Fine by me. If your comfortable. I'm also wearing something so don't to be worried." said Matt.
Owen looked at Matt and smiled. "I envy you." he said softly.
"You? But why?" asked Matt.
"Your so cool and sure of yourself. I'm not exotic looking like you, nor am I a good speaker like Shinji or Ethan. I don't even fight like Lucy does. I don't feel like I fit in the group." said Owen.
"Your talking crazy O. None of us can control a computer like you! Who hacked in the other computers to destroy the nanites using some anti virus software? You. Who could talk to Bill without getting scared? You. Who made friends with Bill's nephew and Bill is cool with it? You." said Matt.
Owen looked at Matt and smiled. "Your too nice to me. I feel like I don't deserve anything." said Owen.
"Dude, we are in this together. That's why the Mystery Bros was formed. To save the town from bad things. You remember last year right? When kids were going missing? Do you remember that?" asked Matt.
"Oh yeah. My Dad had me locked up in my room for a good long time." said Owen.
"Exactly. What about Weirdmageddon?" asked Matt.
"I was a baby when that happened. I don't remember a thing." said Owen.
"Niether do I! Now let's go and prepare to have some fun." said Matt patting Owen on the back. For once in Owen's life, he felt happiness and joy.
"I will never talk!" cried Quentin Trembly as he was being hanged by the feet over a hole, full of crocodiles. Devin and the Dark Master were standing there, waiting for Quentin to snap or say things. But he was persistant.
"You will talk. Tell us where the super computer is!" ordered the Dark Master.
Quentin began to laugh. "Your boy Devin lived in town and he knew every knook and cranny of this place. Why is he not telling you?" asked Quentin.
"There is a force blocking my memory." replied Devin angrily.
"And I cannot find it. The forces of good and light are blocking entry for me. No matter. I will find it, even it means killing off those I deam unworthy to my new kingdom." said the Dark Master.
"Crocodiles don't scare me Dark One! I'm the master of escape." boasted Quentin.
"Shall I cut the rope?" asked Devin.
"No. Leave him there. He's not worth killing nor worth our time." said the Dark Master as he turned around.
"What shall we do then your grace?" asked Devin.
The Dark Master turned to Devin with his arms folded. "The Nanites didn't work on the computers in town as planned. We will have to take a different approuch. But we better hurry. That girl, Lucy. She's dangerous to be kept alive. I will deal with her in the future." said Lucy.
Quentin laughed. "You will fail dark one! You will fail with a capital F!" cried Quentin.
"Cut the rope." sneered the Dark Master.
Devin smiled and he did just that, only for Quentin to fall then jump on top of a crocodile's bouncy back and landed on his feet on the surface. He began to laugh like a cartoon and run as fast as he could away from the villains.
"Huh. He did escape." said Devin.
"He will die the moment I take over Gravity Falls. Now for my other plan. Follow me." said the Dark Master.
