Chapter 13: Call to the Forest.

Crossover Town, Colorado, October 7th, 2012, East forest.

Another week passed and things still were no better, Mabel's leg had healed quicker than anyone expected though, But Mabel still was miserable. She knew Nobody would believe Kyle didn't assault her, And those that did, would just clamp up, as if they were afraid of something.

She knew Courtney was somehow behind it, That it was also another cover up of her rackets, She felt like telling her Aunt and Uncle about it, but she was still angry at them for the situation with Kyle, Than she thought to talk with Wendy about it, But she saw how afraid she was of Courtney, She wasn't even sure Nick and Megan were aware of how much of a Monster Courtney was.

And all the while, The Hulk Busters were starting to get worse, their curfews on the town were still in effect, barely giving the townsfolk any time to themselves, causing growing discomfort among them even more, All while they just continued to scour the eastern forest, Looking for the ever elusive Hulk, Just like tonight.

"Sigma team, Do you have any sightings of the Target?"

"Negative, Major Talbot." Sigma Leader reported. "No luck so far."

"Understood." Talbot responded from a command center. "Omega team, Your report?"

"Nothing to note Sir." Omega Leader said. "But we may have a few… traces of Gamma energy."

Talbot perked up. "Where? In what direction?"

"East I would like to think."

Talbot turned to another soldier. "Send out my Brother, Brian, He'll take up the trail."

"Yes Sir." The Soldier saluted as he walked off.

"And get General Ross." Talbot called, before turning his attention back to the monitors. "He'll be most eager for this reunion."

Back in the Town, Mabel was at Nick's house after school. She had decided to tell him and Megan everything she learned after all.

"Jesus, A whole stockpile! In the school itself?!" Exclaimed Megan.

"She showed me everything!" Mabel said. "And then she made the offer for me to join her!"

"And you didn't, Did you?" Nick asked.

"Of course not!" Mabel said. "I'm not just gonna stand by and let this go on!"

"So what are we going to do?" Asked Megan.

Mabel didn't have an answer right away, She had faced some pretty nasty people during her time in Gravity Falls, The girl was literally Pacifica if she followed her parents, No scratch that, She wasn't a bootleg Pacifica, She was a Monster, almost on par with Gideon or Bill, And whatever she and her family had on the town, It had to be stopped.

"I honestly don't know." Mabel said finally. "But I'll think of something."

"You better." Megan said, A look of worry on her face. "Otherwise, I don't know…"

Mabel wasn't sure she knew either, She just didn't know…

Later,

Mabel then came up to the Broflovski residence, checking to make sure no one was watching her, before strolling up to the front door and ringing the doorbell.

It was Mrs. Brovflowski answered the door, and was quite started to see the young girl.

"What? What? What?!"

"Hi, Is Kyle home?" Mabel asked.

Sheila's head quickly darted from side to side, before addressing Mabel. "Kyle's not allowed to see anyone, good day."

Mabel stuck her leg in the door before it was closed and tried to shove her way inside, Sheila pushed back in a vain attempt to keep her out.

"I have to- Talk to him!" Mabel said gritted teeth.

"No! He's grounded, You shouldn't be here!" Sheila exclaimed.

Just then, A man came into the living room. He was a Bald man with a Magenta Yamaka covering his seemingly bald head, A Khaki Jacket with a Blue shirt underneath, Forest Green Trousers, And brown sideburns with a trimmed beard.

"Sheila what's going on here?!" Gerald exclaimed.

"Nothing!" Sheila cried. "She shouldn't be here!"

Mabel finally burst through the door, causing Sheila to stumble back a bit, but quickly managed to catch her balance as Mabel spoke.

"I'm not an Idiot, I know it wasn't Kyle who attacked me." She said sternly. "Now I'm going to see him, Right this moment, So either let me see him, Or stay out of the way."

Sheila sighed. "He's in his room."

Mabel nodded and made her way up the stairs to Kyle's room, There she found the young jewish boy, sitting at his desk, He was talking to someone on the phone when he saw Mabel.

"Uh, Hang on Stan, I'll call you back." He turned off his phone and turned to Mabel. "Look whatever you want, It's not worth-"

"I know about Courtney's stockpile." Mabel said, catching Kyle by surprise.

"W-What?!" He exclaimed. "How? I-I don't-"

"She showed it to me." Mabel said. "She tried to make me join her, But I refused. How did you find out about it?"

"It's… a bit of a story." Kyle said.

Flashback.

Kyle: One day, I noticed a small group of Weasels coming into the school after hours and decided to follow them, There I saw them talking to Kathy Shelk and Kate Fautz, They went into a room that was strictly off limits to students,

Mabel: Courtney's hideout?

Kyle: Yeah, I watched through a Crack in the doorway and saw them… trading Weapons with them.

Courtney: This should up to the standard of Mr Sykes, Some nice AR-15's to thin the heards a little, A couple of SYM-42's imported from Sokovia, and a few Gotham tommy guns, just as ordered, Oh and these custom Hand grenades we cobbled together, as an extra bonus.

Weasel leader: Heh, Heh, We'll take em.

Weasel 2: Mr Sykes will send his payment via gmail, You can handle the rest.

Courtney: Pleasure doing business my friends.

Flashback ends.

"I got out of there as soon as the Weasels left." Kyle finished, as he pulled out a small box of evidence, which was actually destroyed. "I had to get more evidence of this before I could talk to the Police… But Courntey somehow found out, I don't know how, But she did and destroyed all the dirt I had on her, and… that's when you came in."

Mabel starred as Kyle looked down at the floor ashamed. "I'm sorry you were caught up in this."

Mabel said nothing for a moment, then turned to the window and spoke. "There has to be another way, We could try telling people the truth, we could-"

"They wouldn't listen to us if we tried." Kyle said. "The Richards would make sure of it, They almost control everything in this town, surely you would have figured that out by now."

"Well yeah, she says her Family owns this town-" Mabel said.

"And they do." Kyle said. "Her Parents bought that very room just for her, they let their kids do anything, Just so they can get a grip on this town, going against them is a mistake, One that I learned all to well now, One time, Derek Richards was caught stealing another kids lunch, next day, the other kid that called him out, ended up in a Foster home!"

"Seriously?" Mabel asked.

"Yeah, You and me, We were lucky." Kyle said. "The Richards have deeper pockets than you know, That's why our parents are scared of them, Just as much as they hate them, And if you try to do something about it, They will destroy you and take everything you love."

Mabel's face was unreadable. "I've already had something I love taken. Everyone else might be too scared, But I'm not letting that Bitch have any satisfaction over me, never again, If you know another way…"

Kyle considered. "I don't… Unless you did a Tarot Card reading."

"Tarot Cards?" Mabel asked.

Later,

"So… You want me to give you a Tarot card reading?" Asked a pink Hedgehog in a red dress.

"Yes." Mabel said, as she sat on her couch, drinking Tea.

"Why?"

"Because Courtney Richards pushed me down a flight of stairs and framed Kyle Brovflowski to cover up her weapons trade in the school and I'm trying to figure out a way to take her down." Mabel said in a single deadpan breath.

Amy Rose considered. "...Okay."

And so, Mabel and Amy sat close to the entable in the middle of the room. As Amy set down a row of cards, she carefully picked up one card, then another, and a third one, then set them down before Mabel.

"What is it?" Mabel asked.

"Okay, In order to defeat Courtney." Amy said, as she explained the three cards before Mabel, Each one illustrated with a distinct image, almost like a set story.

"You must travel to the Eastern forest and find the tortured soul within the Beast, there you find the way to defeat Courtney and expose her gun trade for good." Amy said, her voice giving no emotion. "But be warned… This path you're one is not a safe one, Danger and Revenge… are your enemies,

Mabel's face was in slight awe, before looking up. "I'll do it."

To Be Continued.

And so, Mabel's Journey to find the Hulk has begun! But how will she find him with the Hulkbusters in the woods? You'll have to see for yourself in the next Chapter. Until then be sure to look out for the Next Chapter of South Park, The Dark Time comes, Coming sometime this month, If we're all lucky.

If any of you have seen the FNAF Movie or South Park Joining the Panderverse, Please don't give spoilers, I've already seen bits of them myself at this point, But I have to say, both are pretty good and I'd recommend them to those who haven't seen them.

And now, that's all I have to say for now, See you all next time.
