To be honest, I have absolutely no idea how I can help. I don't even have a clue why I want to help. But those two... I feel compelled to help them, whatever trouble they're in. They saved me, I leaned from them, they... I've actually come to appreciate them, and maybe even more than that...
The thing is... oh my stars, I can't believe I'm saying this... I can't bear to sit around and wait while something terrible may be happening to them.
Stanford may be right; I might just make everything worse. But I'd rather do so than stay here and wonder if I could have made everything better.
However, I just can't come up with any way I can be of help... The Cipher Wheel. A crazy idea pops into my head. The zodiac. What if I can reverse it? What if there's a way to turn it around, to give me power instead of take it away? I'm a genius! It just might work. Ford's DNA samples may be just enough for me to work with.
I run to the gift shop and input the code I saw Ford enter into the vending machine. The door swings open, revealing stairs to the laboratory in the basement. Racing down, I look for the counter with the test tubes. Finding them to my left, I see Ford has previously combined DNA samples from every member of the wheel in one beaker, apart from mine. I wonder...
I pick up the beaker with the mixed samples and stick my finger into the slimy, stringy substance. Instantly, I pull my finger out with a yelp due to a burning sensation which has turned it slightly red. "Well, I guess it works." But how am I going to reverse its effects?
After a half hour of chemical reactions with Ford's stuff in the lab, I think I've found it: a chemical that causes the correct reaction to reverse the magic. I only was able to find record of it in Ford's written research. This substance isn't normal. He's only found it in Gravity Falls. I can only imagine the magical properties it possesses. But it works, and that's all I need.
I decide that eating the solution is the only option I have to gain the power it will give me. I feel a surge of energy just being near it. I drain half the substance (disgusting, I know), and save the rest if I ever need it later.
Almost instantly, a burst of inhuman energy fills me as I begin to hover a few inches off the ground. I still look like a human, but I feel so much like I used to. I suppose this enhanced my remaining weirdness. If I had none left at all, I don't think it would work. I wonder if I will have more power if I consume the rest... If they see me like this, will they take away my power for good?
I don't want to think about that now. What matters now is finding Mabel and Dipper, wherever they are.
The problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to start. Though I seem to have regained some of my powers, at least temporarily, I have not regained my all-seeing nature. From what was concluded earlier, they're probably in the Gravity Falls forest near the bunker. The bunker... I'm not quite familiar with it, but I could've sworn I read about it in Stanford's research.
I pore through many books of Stanford's findings until I find a photocopied print of the third journal. The real journals were thrown into the bottomless pit, Dipper told me. But sure enough, inside this crudely stapled copy of the journal, four pages all about this bunker appear as I flip through the packet.
All the journal says about its location is that it's in the woods far behind the Mystery Shack. But judging from the sketch of the hollowed out tree that Stanford drew... I think I can pick out its location.
Dipper and Mabel left on their paranormal investigation earlier today. They left after receiving a letter on the doorstep from someone in the town, because no one in Gravity Falls is really supposed to mention Weirdmageddon or any paranormal events. This guy must've gotten fidgety after suspicion of the paranormal. So after receiving the anonymous letter, the twins went to investigate. As always, I was told to stay here.
But now is my moment to shine. If I can only find them, perhaps I can help them, whatever happened. I have to hurry, have to go now. I've been down here for much too long. It's been almost an hour. Either Stanford, Stanley, and Wendy have taken care of things or haven't found them, or maybe we're all too late. Maybe those two have met their fates... but not if I can help it. Is there still time? I have to try.
I'm not exactly sure how to stop hovering, but it's working pretty good, so I don't have a reason to stop. I manage to make it out of the Mystery Shack with only a few bumps and bruises. Hey, being a hero isn't easy, you know.
"My name is Bill Cipher!" I exclaim as I soar through the forest of Gravity Falls, my voice under control from practicing. "And I can do this!"
