Opening File: The Society of the Blind Eye

Over thirty years ago a secret society was founded, intending to help remove unwanted memories from others using a device the founder created and used continuously on himself. While the founder's mind deteriorated from the negative side effects of the contraption, the society soldiered on in utter secrecy, now intent on keeping the citizens of Gravity Falls blissfully ignorant of the town's supernatural secrets. The Blind Eye Society eventually found itself under the command of Blind Ivan, a more conniving and malicious leader than his predecessor. Blind Ivan then began preaching that the true founder of the Blind Eye Society was the one who has been there, watching the world since the very beginning: Bill Cipher.

Soon enough the entire society was dedicated to serving Bill Cipher, advancing his plans and preparing for day when he would finally achieve everything he desired, becoming a group of powerful fighters meant to deal with troublesome Huntsmen that might appear or deal with opposition from the Fallen. It is suggested that while Blind Ivan leads the group he answers to someone else aside from Cipher. It has also been discovered the Blind Eye Society has set up a spy network reaching as far as the city of GrimmFall.

Efforts have been taken to root out this network.

"Have you ever been in a cult? It's basically like a gang, you do something for them, you get initiated and you are pretty much in for life. The bosses decide how you live, eat and sleep. Some people join to fill a sense of longing, others join because they see it as a fad and others…Just want to watch the world burn." TOM said as the file closed. "And unfortunately they don't think like ordinary people so you can't treat them like ordinary people. So if you ever run into groups like these be sure to watch your back and make sure you have a lot of friends in law enforcement because you never know when you might be in a situation where you really need help."

Dear Joseph

I hope you have been well in whatever mission you have. I'd like to say things have been well for me up here in GrimmFall. We both consider the Justice Friends, especially Major Glory to be a band of show-offs who make the work of Huntsmen look like a children's cartoon.

But what I saw today has changed my perception of them, especially their leader.

Years ago you asked me about the identity of a Fallen named Sammael and I told you what I knew of him and we learned more from Sebben. We know he is a threat to humanity and everyone else, we know he leads the Fallen and the Grimm but we did not know how dangerous he really was until today…

I saw him, Joseph.

Through a portal but I saw him, I heard his voice and I watched as he casually stood against Major Glory, a man whose power and strength overshadows us both. He took everything the Major threw at him and he did not even blink. He didn't even have to step through the portal to make his point across to the people who came looking for the Elementals in GrimmFall.

And he knows us.

He knows who we are and he has made it clear we don't present a threat to him in his eyes.

We have to be strong, Joseph and we need to start working together, even if we have to work with people we can't stand.

We can't be torn apart by personal grievances anymore.

I am not sure what to expect at this point anymore, I knew GrimmFall had a reputation for crazy things happening but this encounter and on my first day tells me that a storm is coming. We need to be ready for it.

Best wishes, your loving partner and wife
Tina Matthews

"A fool I be!"

Pearl took off as the spiked ceiling grew ever closer. If she was too slow her form could be damaged, forcing to her to retreat back into her gemstone.

If her gemstone wasn't crushed by ceiling.

Running as fast as she could eventually she made it out to the other side, coming to a stop in the large cave. Groaning a bit Pearl knocked off some dust as she stood up and looked around.

"How much of this is am I going to be forced to endure?" Pearl sighed, continuing forward. "Why did I even come here anyways?"

She stopped, coming upon cobwebs that blocked her was from seeing up ahead which she batted away easily.

And saw the endless streams of red colored shards shoot from the walls up ahead, looking sharp enough to pierce her physical form.

"You have got to be kidding." Pearl muttered, staring at the trap. "What sort of sick mind am I dealing with?!"

There were too many shards flying for her to defend with her spear and she had no armor on her since the days of the Rebellion nor did she carry any shields. Pearl looked around and spotted a nearby corpse wearing armor and had a shield.

"It disgusts me to steal, even from someone deceased." Pearl sighed as she picked up the shield and quickly found another. "But in this case I am afraid I have to make due."

Holding shields on sides while covering her upper body, especially her gemstone Pearl leapt into the shard storm ahead, running as fast as she could. She could hear the shards denting the shields and knew it was a matter of time before the shields would be so damaged they would not protect her anymore.

She finally reached the end which was a hill that she slid down…

Only to end up falling down a canyon upon reaching the bottom.

"You have got to be kidding!" Pearl shouted, spotting the spiked trench waiting for her and summoned her spear.

She swung her spear to the side and fired an energy blast, the force of the recoil sending her flying to the wall. She landed on a narrow path and looked down, seeing the endless trench…

Filled with the skeletons of those who fell to their doom.

"What mad creature is responsible for all of this?" Pearl wondered, hearing a blast behind her. "Oh come on!"

More traps seemed to await her as flames burst from the wall behind her and forced her to run forward, reaching the end of a path where a gate awaited her. Well, one could consider it a gate despite it being built to resemble a demonic face with its mouth opening and then closing with teeth sharp enough that if she was slow her form would be destroyed.

"All these traps." Pearl gritted her teeth in frustration. "Why am I even here?!"

Summoning her spear again she blasted through the moving gate, coming upon several more doors that she destroyed before reaching the end. She looked down and saw a narrow tunnel with spikes along the walls as they spun.

"Enough of this." Pearl muttered as she jumped.

Summoning her spear Pearl slashed through all the spikes with amazing precision until she finally fell to the bottom, landing perfectly on her feet.

"I have had enough of these theatrics." Pearl declared loudly. "Whoever is doing this come out now and explain yourself!"

A sound from above seemed to be the answer and Pearl looked up, eyes widening and pupils shrinking when she saw molten magma spilling down from above.

"By Rose's Shield!" Pearl shouted, leaping away just before the magma could touch her.

She came upon a sea of magma with rocky platforms waiting for her. She looked back to see an armored skeleton being swallowed by the magma with a helmet flying out, onto a nearby platform. As soon as it landed the platform sank into the magma, taking its new acquisition with it.

"And I accused Sugilite of being too much." Pearl muttered she jumped onto a platform just before the magma could reach her.

Just as it began to sank she hopped onto another and then another, reaching the end where the last one waiting for her didn't sink. Instead it seemed to move on its own towards an island in the middle of the sea of the fire.

"All of this for one island?" Pearl asked aloud as she took her first step…

And stopped as the center of the island exploded in astonishing display of stone and magma, fading away to reveal a scorching black giant the size of Sugilite standing before her. The giant was still burning hot with smoke rising from it as red lines traveled from the ground and into the giant, lighting up its features and revealing red eyes that opened up, signaling its awakening. It spread its arms out and from the right hand came a mace made of rock and crystals.

"Welcome." The giant greeted, its voice sounding human and yet oddly mechanical. "To your doom."

Pearl could only stare in absolute shock at the Lava Monster took a step forward, shaking the entire island with one foot. She summoned her spear as the monster looked ready to attack. "What are you? Why did you set those traps that killed all those people?"

"My purpose is to battle." The creature said simply.

Pearl was no stranger to battle.

She fought in a war that lasted thousands of years against the armies of Homeworld and the Grimm when the negativity brought them to the battlefield and over the five thousand years had hunted down corrupted Gems to bring them back to the Gem Temple.

But to hear this creature admit it killed perhaps many warriors simply because it was its purpose?

It reminded Pearl a little too much of how Homeworld Gems carried out their invasions against populated worlds. The monster swung its club down and Pearl back flipped away, landing elegantly on her feet and aimed her spear, firing energy bolts at the monster. Parts of the creature's body were blasted away by Pearl's spear as it lunged again, going for an overhead swing that Pearl dodged easily. Calling on her experience in her fight against Sugilite and giant Grimm Pearl knew the best way to counter such large opponents was a combination of speed and using their own size against them.

She circled behind and fired more energy blasts at the creature before it turned around and swung again. Pearl used her spear to block with both hands as the blow sent her flying back. Grunting softly from the force of the blow Pearl shrugged it off, preparing herself as the Lava Monster charged at her. Her gemstone glowing Pearl summoned two clones of herself and charged at the monster as it swung, their spears piercing and slashing through the armored skin.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!" The Lava Monster howled, falling to its knees as fire exploded from its wounds while dropping its mace.

But it's pain did not apparently last long.

"Yes…" The monster said with its mouth curling into a smile. "After all these years, a worthy opponent."

"Stand down." Pearl ordered. "You can't beat me."

The Lava Monster stood up, swinging its fist Pearl who jumped away. She fired another blast that hit the monster in the chest, leaving a burning scar.

"A thousand years I have waited and now my goal is in my grasp." The Monster's arm extended and morphed into the shape of a sword that solidified itself, becoming entirely crystalline as the hand it had sprouted from grew back and grasped the hilt. "This battle will continue to the end."

Pearl narrowed her eyes. "Very well."

Dismissing her spear, Pearl summoned a straight bladed saber with a brown hand grip, light bronze square hand guard with two brown horizontal stripes on the side of the guard.

"Since you prefer to use a sword I will do the same." Pearl said, one hand behind her while keeping her sword out in front.

"Yes." The Lava Monster grinned, beginning the fight with swinging the sword down.

Pearl raised her sword up and clashed with the monster, her Gem enhanced strength allowed her to grapple with her opponent. The two then engaged in a vicious and yet impressive battle of swords, Pearl moving gracefully and swiftly while remaining calm as she fought while the monster kept its sword in both hands, focused on defending its chest area while utilizing attacks with enough strength that a single hit would have been a killing blow.

"Why are you so determined to fight?" Pearl questioned in between strikes. "You are obviously not a Gem so you are not from Homeworld and you are not corrupted."

"What I am does not matter. Only finishing this fight!" The Lava Monster, swiping at Pearl with one free hand.

Pearl grunted as she flew through the air but twisted and landed on her feet. "That's enough!"

She leapt up and scored a quick hit on the Monster, knocking it down. "I have had enough of this pointless fighting!" She jumped onto the monster's chest and pointed her sword at its face. "Give up and allow me to leave and I will not harm you any further."

"That…Is the point!" The monster's eyes glowed, firing yellow beams that slammed into Pearl, knocking her off its chest.

Pearl grunted, hitting the ground with a loud thudding sound. She looked up and rolled away just the monster's sword came crashing down.

"I will not be denied!" The monster shouted, raising its sword.

Pearl summoned another sword and summoned six more clones before charging straight at the monster. It swung its sword again but Pearl created another clone that blocked the incoming sword. While it was distracted Pearl and her other clones charged forward, striking at the giant's skin multiple times, earning screams of pain before it finally fell over.

Sensing that she had won Pearl dismissed her clones and stood back on the monster's chest. "You are beaten now. Concede defeat now and I will spare you."

"No…" The monster rasped. "Finish it."

"What?" Pearl questioned, not expecting such a respect.

"My purpose is to battle and once I am defeated my life is ended. You must finish it."

Pearl stared down at the creature, shock appearing on her face. "…What in the world are you?"

"A man…A cursed man trapped in a rock body."

Pacifica Northwest had been in the middle of a manicure when her third eye appeared on her forehead and her pupils turned into slits. "…Father."

She had been connected to him before she had even been born, being the first thing to literally pop into her mind. From that point forward Cipher had literally shaped her mind to his liking, making her loyal to him as she was trained by the Blind Eye meat puppets to serve as a personal conduit for Bill to contact without needing any ritual or for her to be asleep. The reason being was so Bill could rely on someone to carry out his orders in the mortal dimension when he needed something done right.

'Look alive, baby girl. We got a little problem on our hands.' Bill spoke inside her mind. 'Pine Tree is messing around with our robed friends.'

"He's actually taking on the Blind Eye Society?" Pacifica questioned.

'Well, he's got his sister, the great magical defender and my old buddy's nutcase.' Bill replied. 'And now they've got their own personal Huntsmen rescuing them while the Fallen you captured is getting sprung.'

Pacifica narrowed her eyes. "They let her escape? Pathetic. I should have known better than to trust them with her."

'Oh don't worry, baby girl. She's no problem for you. Right now we got deal with those Hunters down there.'

"What do you suggest?"

'As much as I'd like to get rid of Pine Tree I have feeling you'd be disappointed. So as long as you can keep him on a leash I'll leave him alone. As for the others…'

"They are fair game." Pacifica smirked. "What did you have mind for them, if I may so politely ask?"

'Oh, you'll like what I am planning for them.' Even though Bill had no mouth he could still give off the impression he was grinning evilly. 'Head on down to the society's lair and be ready when I tell you.'

"Yes, Father." Pacifica's pupils shifted back to normal. "Finally, something to do. I was getting bored sitting around, waiting for my next scene."

Dipper and the others couldn't seem to keep with what was happening.

First they came upon a secret cult dedicated to erasing the memories of the townspeople to make them forget about all the weird stuff happening.

Secondly, the girl called June and her friend showed up and engaged those cult creeps in an awesome fight that Soos planned to put up on the Sky Web when he got home.

Assuming he ever actually makes it home.

And thirdly, just as they are about to have their memories erased the wall is blasted open by what looks like to be two Hunters.

Can this day get any crazier?

"Intruders! Get them!" Blind Ivan shouted.

Tats was the first to make a move, swinging his Geodite Wrecking Ball but to his surprise it was stopped in mid-air, held in a glowing sphere. That was all time the Huntsman needed as he pointed his gauntlets behind and fired a blast of what looked to be pure lightning, the recoil sending him flying forward and he punched Tats straight in the face, knocking him across the room. Woodpecker fired red talons at the man but he spun around, firing another lightning blast that destroyed the talons on impact.

"WHA-" Woodpecker screamed out as he covered his face with his wings and instantly blasted back, hitting the wall alongside Tats.

The woman jumped in next, spinning her staff as Toby Determined fired projectiles from his tab dancing shoes. She lashed her staff out, batting his foot and lashed out with a double foot kick that knocked him into the wall next to Tats and Woodpecker Guy. Bud Gleeful attacked the woman next but she flipped over him, clotheslined him and flung him into the wall.

Dipper looked over at June. "Are they with you?"

June shrugged. "I figured they were with you."

"Dudes, someone reach and grab my phone. I got put this on my profile." Soos said, enjoying the fight even though he was still tied up.

Hoagie looked at the woman found something familiar about her. "I am sure I've seen that girl somewhere before but I can't put my finger on it."

"She sort of looks like you, Hoagie." Mabel commented thoughtfully.

"Really?" Hoagie looked closely at the woman as she whacked another member on the head with her staff. "I don't see the resemblance."

"Is this how real Hunters fight?" Lila asked June who simply shrugged.

"I never met a real Hunter in Orchid Bay." The Te Xuan Ze admitted. "Our city didn't exactly have a Grimm infestation."

"Wow." Grenda and Candy whispered as they saw Old Man McGucket catch a member with an energy sphere that was his Semblance. "He's still that good."

"Still that good?" Wendy and Dipper asked, having heard the girls. "You knew he could do that?"

"Uh…" Both girls trailed off.

As skilled as the Blind Eye Society members were the two Hunters and even Old Man McGucket had them completely outclassed.

Blind Ivan could only shake his head in disappointment. "How sad, to see all of the Blind Eye Society fall to two measly Hunters."

"They are nothing but posers." The Huntsman said, stepping over the member he had just beat to a bloody pulp. "You are next."

"You will find that harder than you think." Blind Ivan brought his hands together. "Members of the Blind Eye, use the blessings of our God: the great Cipher!"

"Cipher?!" Dipper and Hoagie exclaimed.

On the foreheads of each member appeared a symbol resembling a triangle with an eye that glowed bright yellow. They all stood up, their pupils morphing into slits.

"What's going on?" Hoagie asked, feeling even more afraid than he did when he thought his memories were going to be erased.

"Over the years our great God had deemed us worthy to receive gifts from him. His ability to appear to us in our minds allowed him to bond with our Auras and enhance our Semblances through a special mark he has left." Blind Ivan explained proudly as the Blind Eye Society prepared to fight again. "These marks represent our link to the Great One and shows our loyalty to him. And we will not allow anyone to stand in his way."
