Back at the Gleeful Residence, Pinky, Gideon, and the Brain needed to make another plan to take over Gravity Falls.

"I still can't believe we failed!" said Gideon.

"I knew the plan was too simple to work," said Brain. "Maybe we should stop coming up with new plans and try to make an old one better. One that nearly succeeded."

"Egad, Brain!" said Pinky. "Brilliant idea, brilliant! Oh, wait. No, no, no, how do we choose the plan when so many of them almost worked? Poit."

"I have an idea," said Gideon. "I had a plan that actually worked...for a day. I got the deed to the Shack, but the first journal was missing. I tried to get it from the twins with my giant robot, but they outsmarted me."

This gave Brain an idea.

"Gideon," said Brain, "do you by any chance have the blueprints for your robot?"

Gideon took out the blueprints from his pocket. Brain examined it very carefully to see how he could improve it.

"I see what you did wrong," said Brain. "You had your robot on motion control. The problem was that you could have easily spun out of control, and that was how you were defeated. Your material was strong enough to not be broken easily, so we can keep that. What we must change are the controls. Are there any remains of your robot left?"

"Yes, but they're scattered all over the junkyard."

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

"I think so, Brain, but wouldn't we fall out of the sky if we tried to sit on a cloud?"

Brain smacked him on the back of his head.

"No, Pinky! We'll go to the junkyard, collect all the scrap pieces of Gideon's robot as well as some spare pieces for ourselves, and we'll reconstruct the robot while making minor changes to the controls."

"Splendid idea! Narf!"

"How do you plan to change the controls?" said Gideon.

"Simple," said Brain. "I will install a control board with buttons to attack and a joystick to control how the robot moves."

"I'm lovin' the idea already!"

"Pinky and I will go to the junkyard and collect the pieces we need. Gideon, it's best if you stay here so no one catches you. Come, Pinky. We have work to do."

Pinky and the Brain headed to the junkyard, staying hidden so no one would see them. They collected all the pieces they needed to make their robots, all while avoiding Old Man McGucket. They returned to the Gleeful Residence in three hours due to having to move the heavy robot parts.

"We're back!" shouted Pinky. "Zort!"

"It's about time!" said Gideon. "What took you so long?"

"What would you expect from two mice carrying a heavy load from miles away?" said Brain.

"Good point," said Gideon.

They went back to the basement, building the robot as best as they could. Pinky and the Brain put the parts together while Gideon assisted them by giving them the tools they needed.

"Glue," said Brain.

Gideon handed him the glue.

"Blowtorch."

"Screwdriver."

"Hammer."

The trio was building the robots for six hours. By the time they finished making the heads, Gideon felt hungry and went upstairs to get some ice cream. When he took the container out of the freezer, he turned around and saw the special report on TV. He was shocked when Mabel announced that she was dating Yakko, and especially got angry when Yakko linked arms with her and took her away as she gave a thumbs-up to the camera. By the time the report finished, he was furious. He stormed off to the basement with the ice cream container in his hand and threw a fit in front of Pinky and the Brain.

"That stupid, little freak!" he shouted as he threw some tools on the ground.

Pinky and the Brain screamed in horror and hid behind the head of Gideon's robot as they were almost smashed by the screwdriver. Gideon continued his rant as Pinky and the Brain tried to find a way to calm him down.

"How dare he take my Mabel away from me!" he continued. "He's made the biggest mistake of his life...and it'll be the last!"

He grabbed the screwdriver and angrily attached the heads onto their robots.

"Narf..." muttered Pinky. "Gideon, what was that all about?"

"I don't wanna talk about it!"

"You already did," muttered Brain.

He cautiously approached Gideon, who breathed heavily with his face still burning with rage.

"Calm down," said Brain. "Maybe you need to rest for a while. After all, tomorrow's the big day."

Pinky completely ignored Gideon once he laid his eyes on the ice cream container. He ate the ice cream, but Gideon didn't mind as he was busy with Brain.

"You're right," Gideon said, calming down at last. "I'll need to save my anger for tomorrow, when we take over Gravity Falls."

He left Pinky and the Brain in the basement and retreated to his room, where he took a stone and did a chant that inserted the powers of the Mystic Amulet inside it.

"Once I get my hands on that weirdo, Mabel'll be mine..."


Uh-oh, looks like Yakko's gonna get in trouble! Will he be able to survive the clutches of Gideon? Find out in the next two chapters!
