Chapter 9: Into The Lion's Den!
'Having escaped the maze, the gang has gained a new ally, but doesn't have any idea of what Gideon has planned next! Things aren't looking good for the team!'
Previously
Will is holding tightly onto Mabel with one hand around her waist and the other around her mouth.
"My, you're a squirmy one aren't you?" Will evilly cackles, his hold now tightening around Mabel. "And might I add, quite the looker!"
"And just what did you think you were doing missy?" Gideon hisses as he leans in closer to Mabel, her angered gaze now catching with his devious one.
Shaking Will's hand from her mouth, Mabel growls.
"I was warning them about you!" Mabel snaps to the albino. "And Will, I thought you were the good guy! Why are you working with Gideon?!"
"I guess you thought I was bluffing when I said I controlled every aspect of this game and that includes the control board!" Gideon replies with Mabel still struggling to get free of the control board's tight hold. "It took me a little while to figure out why your team was always so far ahead of me, but once I discovered that, I put a stop to it once and for all! Now Will works for me."
"Plus the pay is better." Will adds in with a shrug.
"Will, whatever Gideon is doing to you, you can fight it!" Mabel speaks to the control board with him clamping his hand over her mouth once more, which is sending waves of anger through Bill.
"Hey! Get your hands off of her!" Bill demands to Will.
"Now now Bill, Will is only doing the job instructed to him." Gideon calmly states to the demon. "And you Mabel, have just helped me make the decision for you! Let's see how your team survives when they're thrown into the Lion's den!"
"You don't mean?" Mabel mumbles through Will's glove.
"Exactly!" Gideon replies with a twisted smirk. "There is a reason why I always liked roman history, the roman colosseum especially! They are going to have to fight to the death against my new and improved monsters if they want to make it to level four!"
Hearing Gideon's new plan, Will's eye color changes to his original ice blue, but just as quickly changes back to black oblivion as Gideon's code's races through his system…..
Currently
Three Griffins have blocked the team's path and are determined to take them down per Gideon's orders, but with the look on Wyn's face towards the creatures, their orders will be canceled one way or another!
"So how are we suppose to get through those things?" Princess questions as she holds tightly onto Dipper's waist so not to fall off of the spider's thorax, the boy blushing as a result.
"Well with my weapon systems down for the time being, we're going to have to do this the long way!" Wyn replies, keeping her eyes on the monsters while narrowing her vision at them.
"But there won't be another treasure chest for miles." Dipper speaks up, noticing the Griffins plant their feet firmly into the ground while opening their mouths and releasing a sonic screech towards them. With no time to brace themselves for the attack coming their way, the spider along with the team are suddenly blown backwards, but holding tightly onto the other and with the spider firmly planting it's eight legs into the ground, everyone is still standing, but have lost thirty points each and a whole life from the attack! Princess, whom only had one hundred points with this level, now flashes a light orange, indicating that she has taken a significant hit from the attack that she can't really afford to take another one of.
"I suddenly don't feel so good." Princess voices as she lightly leans forward on Dipper's back from the vertigo that just hit her from losing a life and thirty points. "I just lost a whole life and some points to those things!"
"We all did." Dipper speaks, feeling his rage stirring deep within himself from the predicament they are in. "If it weren't for Gideon, none of us would be in this mess at all!"
"I wish something would happen because those things aren't quite finished with us yet!" Princess expresses, noticing the Griffins spread out their wings in unison. "I can't take another hit from them or else I'll be deleted!"
Having voiced that, a treasure chest now materializes in front of Wyn, surprising her. Confused by the box suddenly appearing in front of her, Wyn reaches to open it, but is stopped by Dipper's hand.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Dipper warns the teen. "Gideon could have booby trapped that chest with something much worse than back in the maze when I was nearly eaten by one of his monsters!"
"At this point, we really don't have much of a choice as those griffins look as if they feel a yawn coming on!" Wyn replies to Dipper, him noticing the monsters open their mouths once again while sucking in a breath.
"Then open it!" Princess urges while gripping Dipper's waist as she watches the monsters begin glowing as they prepare to release their attack towards the team. "I'm not taking another hit like that one again!"
Feeling as if an ice mound is now sitting in his stomach, Dipper removes his hand from Wyn's with the teen placing her hands on both sides the lid so to open it. Closing her eyes briefly and drawing in a sharp breath, Wyn quickly opens the lid. Opening her eyes in preparation for some kind of trick by Gideon, the teen instead finds useful supplies inside the chest such as a saber sword, three growth formulas, four life potions, an attack proof armory shield, one speed potion, and a turkey leg. Smiling, Wyn whips out the shield and just in time as the Griffins release another sonic scream toward everyone! The attack instead impacts the shield with everyone remaining planted and the shield remaining intact. The attack is now redirected back to the Griffins and destroys them, their two hundred points each being added to the team's stats with Princess suddenly feeling a sense of renewal with having regained what points she lost from the Griffin's attack.
"Now was that convenient or was that convenient?" Wyn expresses with a wide smile.
"Yea, a little too convenient." Dipper says with suspicion. "But we'll ponder that later. Let's split these items up and get out of here!"
The team now splits up the supplies with Dipper, Wyn, and Princess each getting a life potion with Dipper holding onto the extra, each getting a growth formula, Wyn getting the armory shield, Dipper getting the saber sword, Princess getting the speed potion, and Wyn getting the turkey leg. All three team members ingest their life potions so to get back the life they lost to the Griffins.
"Now that hit the spot!" Princess voices, easing her grip on Dipper's waist. "And now that we have our Growth Formulas, you know what we need to do!"
"We're way ahead of you Princess." Dipper replies, he, Wyn, and Princess ingesting their growth formulas at once. With what little growth formula Wyn has left, she feeds it to their newest team member, the arachnid growing right along with the team. With the team now bigger than their surroundings, the other creatures on the level that are ant size now run ahead of them!
"You can run, but you can't hide!" Wyn taunts, noticing the other monsters run off. "Hang on guys because we're going hunting! Big game hunting that is!"
Knowing what Wyn has in mind, the spider roars, its powerful voice ripping through the area like a sonic scream and destroying the monsters that are attempting to evade the now larger than life team, their points being added to the teams' stats, Spider's included.
"I knew there was a reason why I liked you." Wyn expresses to the spider, rubbing its stubbly head while making its back legs behind Princess twitch with happiness. The spider now dashes from its spot and continues through the stage while destroying the tiny creatures along the way with its sonic scream!
Level 12 (Master bedroom)
Having revealed what is ultimate plan is, Gideon is getting ready to meet with the players, having changed into a different suit from his signature powder blue suit with Bill putting the finishes touches on his hair. His new suit is a deep bronze with black curvy lines running throughout the jacket, his shirt underneath the blazer is still a charcoal black with a white tie, and his pants match the blazer, a bit of shine running throughout the fancy slacks. The boy's shoes are still the same brown dress shoes that he normally wears with his blue suit. Staring at his reflection in the full body mirror as Bill continues fixing his hair, Gideon shifts his vision to the right of him and can see a scowl across Mabel's face, her expression bringing a cocky grin to his face. Bill is keeping an eye on Will who is still tightly holding onto Mabel as she has tried to evade the now evil control board numerous times.
"So Mabel, how do you like my new look?" Gideon asks as he turns around to Mabel and Will. "Doesn't this look just say, 'I'm in control?'"
"You look like a disgusting mix of what someone threw up!" Mabel spits back, Gideon's cocky expression simmering at the girl's words. "Just looking at you makes me want to throw up!"
"Now now Mabel, is that any way to talk to your soon to be husband?" Will adds in, his words in a whisper in the girl's ear. "A wife must learn her place."
"I'm not going to be any wife of his!" Mabel snaps, her struggling to get away from Will resuming, his grip tightening with each move she makes.
Smirking at Will's compliance, Gideon walks up to Mabel and grips her chin with his right hand's thumb and index finger, forcing her vision to face him.
"I don't think you have much of a choice in the matter!" Gideon hisses. "That is if you want your brother and his team to live! Once I delete them from this game, you're all mine and we will be starting an empire right here! You wrote your fate when you decided to pull that little stunt of yours!"
With her vision fixed on Gideon's, Mabel spits in his eyes! Releasing her chin, Gideon recoils at the girl's repulsive action as he wipes her fluids from his face.
"Why you little wench!" Gideon growls as he raises his hand to Mabel. "You will learn to serve me whether you love it or not!"
Seeing Gideon's raised hand to Mabel, Will's program code runs through him, which changes his eye color back to the ice blue that they are.
"Wait Gideon!" Will says to the angered boy, now releasing Mabel and jumping in front of her so to protect her from him or at least that's what Mabel wants to believe is happening. Gideon's viral code now overrides Will's code with his eyes changing back to black oblivion. "I'll take care of the little darling for you."
Turning from Gideon, Will's devious vision now lands on Mabel, his eyes running up and down the girl's form as he lightly licks his lips. Mabel backs away from the control board unsure of what he maybe planning.
"Very good care." Will repeats in a whisper, now grabbing Mabel's right arm rather roughly and pulling her to him. Unknown to the control board, Bill's sunshine yellow body now changes to a glowing red at witnessing him touching Mabel and in such an insulting way at that!
"Take her to the front." Gideon commands as he turns back to the mirror to begin fiddling with his tie. "I'll be there in a moment."
"As you wish my master." Will replies, now dragging Mabel to the bedroom door. "Let's go get better aquatinted, your highness!"
"Bill, go wait out front and keep an eye on them both." Gideon commands to the extremely pissed off dream demon. "I want this plan to go off without a hitch!"
"You bet I will!" Bill replies in a deathly calm tone, Gideon oblivious to the demon's sudden change in color and tone of voice.
Floating away from him, Bill races towards the door with thoughts of what Will could be doing to Mabel racing through his mind.
"He better not THINK of laying another disgusting finger on MY Shooting Star or he'll have to deal with me!"Bill thinks to himself as he now exits the room and races through the hall to the control room, not wasting another minute of catching up with Will and Mabel.
Level Three
Another set of monsters are destroyed with their points now being added to the team's stats, Spider included as he has now earned his own set of statistics since joining the team.
"Man, this guy is awesome!" Dipper says to Wyn. "How did you get him to listen to you again?"
"Let's just say that I used a little friendly persuasion." Wyn replies, now spotting the deadly mushrooms Will warned everyone about sprouting out of the ground in front of them at a rapid rate. Stopping dead in its track, the newest team member now blinks its eight eyes, narrowing and focusing them on the enemies ahead of them. Planting its legs firmly into the ground, Spider releases its sonic scream, white electric rings leaving the mouth of the arachnid and heading straight for the deadly fungus. Before the tops of the mushrooms can explode so to release their deadly hatchlings, the fungi are destroyed with their points being added to Spider's stats.
"And now you see why I chose him." Wyn says, complimenting to the spider. "Alright boy, the end of level three isn't too far away so let's get there, take down the boss and get out of here! I've seen this stage far longer than I cared to!"
"Ditto!" Princess agrees with Wyn.
Just as Spider unplants it's legs from the ground, the ground begins shaking once more with reddish brown stone now springing up around the team, the stone rising rapidly so not to give the team a chance to make a run for it! Continuing to rise, the reddish brown stone now forms into a colosseum, a recreation of the roman colosseum at that complete with its ancient yet famous deterioration of the walls in some areas of the landmark!
"Uh, guys." Princess begins, watching as rows of the colosseum begins springing up around the inside of the ancient landmark along with a rowdy crowd appearing inside the rows. "What's going on here?"
The emperor's box at the front of the landmark is now constructed with Gideon and were-Robbie walking out on the balcony of it, his eyes now staring down at the encased team with a hint of hysterics surging through his vision. Seeing Gideon at the top of the colosseum, Dipper's temper begins flaring.
"I can give a couple of hints as to what is going on." Dipper replies to Princess, his vision never leaving the boy. Seeing the direction Dipper is staring in, Wyn and Princess turn in that direction as well to see Gideon, Robbie, and now Bill standing in the emperor's box staring down at them.
"Well, well, well." Gideon begins. "What do we have here? Wyn, Princess, and the ever so famous Dipper Pines! Fancy seeing you three here!"
"What do you want Gideon and where's Mabel?!" Dipper snaps to the boy. "You better not have laid a hand on her!"
"Now Dipper, you know I will always take good care of Mabel." Gideon nonchalantly replies to the angry player. "She's my special lady, but if you absolutely must know, you can see for yourself how she is doing."
As if on cue, Will walks onto the balcony with a distraught Mabel on his right arm as if he is a father walking his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day, the girl's purple outfit that Bill chose for her having been swapped out for a white version of her dress and shoes, the dress looking as if it is a wedding dress except without the matching veil.
"Mabel!" Wyn shouts. "Let her go Gideon!"
"You see, that's not going to happen for this very reason." Gideon calmly replies with Will handing Mabel over to Gideon and him taking her left hand. Mabel lowers her vision with her left hand being rose into the air, her ring finger displaying the ring that Gideon tried to put on her finger before, but failed. Princess and Wyn gasps at the sight of the ring on Mabel's finger with Dipper grinding his teeth together as his temper continues rising to boiling heights. If his temper could be measured on a thermometer, the measuring apparatus would melt due to the amount of heat that his temper would emanate!
"You see Dipper, Mabel has agreed to be my game goddess and once I get rid of you for good, she and I will live happily ever after!" Gideon speaks, pulling Mabel to him. "Isn't that right dumpling?"
"I only agreed to it so you wouldn't hurt my team!" Mabel speaks up, trying to pull away from Gideon, but his grip is too strong on her for her to pull away. "Dipper, Wyn, and Princess, I'm doing this for you guys!"
"Mabel, you don't have to protect us!" Dipper replies to his sister. "Trust me when I say, we're going to get you out of this! You aren't going to marry Gideon by any means!"
"If you haven't figured it out by now, your precious life line has been severed!" Gideon spits back. "In order for you to defeat me, you're going to need Will, but I regret to say that he no longer serves you, but now works for me! Actually I don't regret anything, but more enjoying it!"
"Will, how can you work for Gideon?!" Wyn shouts to the control board. "You're supposed to be on our side! You're the good guy!"
Hearing Wyn shout to him, Will's program code once again runs through him with memories of the team and Mabel flooding back to him, his eyes changing back to ice blue. Shaking his head, Will looks down at everyone and then turns to Mabel who is looking very miserable.
"You have your orders! Don't fail me!" Gideon's voice echoes through the board's head with his viral code overriding Will's, the control board's eyes changing back to black.
"And now that everyone is here and without further ado, let the battle royale commence!" Will announces as he claps his hands together.
"Battle royale? What Ba-" Princess questions, but her question is answered as three grated doors in front of them now opens. With the doors open, a blue fireball now exits the first door and is heading right for the team at lightning speed! Seeing the attack heading right for them, Wyn begins quickly searching through her stats for the armory shield, but before she can find it, the attack slams right into Spider, instantly deleting him and throwing the team backwards on the dirt ground in a heap. Sitting up, Princess looks around for their newest teammate only to find he is no longer there.
"Oh no! Spider!" Princess begins panicking as she jumps to her feet. "Spider is gone!"
Seeing that the team is down by one, a twisted smirk forms on Gideon's face. Seeing that her team is in trouble, Mabel begins trying to pull away from Gideon so to help them, but being sandwiched between Gideon and Will, the girl literally has no place to run!
"Dipper! Wyn! Princess! Run!" Mabel screams to them. "You don't have to do this! Make it out while you still can!"
"No Mabel, I want to see their true potential." Gideon replies to her with the group taking a seat in the chairs provided while were-Robbie continues standing. "This should be one heck of a show!"
Another fireball exits the first door of the colosseum that is heading right for the team, Wyn being the first to spot it. Reacting quickly, Wyn grabs Dipper and Princess by their arms and moves them out of the way quickly so not to be deleted by the oncoming attack. Hitting the dirt far from the attack, the fireball slams into the right wall of the landmark, the massive wind from the missed attack whipping the team's hair around.
"AH! My hair!" Princess screams, now feeling how disarrayed her hair has become. "Does he know what it takes to keep hair like this in place?!"
"Whatever he has planned for us, we can take it!" Dipper declares as he gets to his feet along with Wyn and Princess. "As long as we stick together, we can win this and free my sister!"
"Don't forget about avenging Spider's death!" Princess adds in as she runs her hands frantically through her hair so to straighten it out. "My hair may never look the same again!"
From the second and third door, the famous three headed dog of Hades now emerges and from the first door, Rumble McSkirmish emerges!
"Uh Dipper, not that your plan isn't a good one, but exactly how are we suppose to take down a fight fighter and two copies of Cerberus at the same time?!" Wyn questions as the three now line up side by side.
"Easy!" Dipper answers, now wielding his saber sword. "We'll do what we have always done."
"But neither Princess nor I have a weapon system!" Wyn replies, not taking her eyes off of the vicious dogs that are eying her and Princess like freshly cooked steaks. "Did you forget that Will destroyed ours and Spider wiped mine out?!"
"We'll just improvise then!" Princess speaks, her voice full of determination. "That's all we have left! Wyn, you and I will take down these junk yard dogs and Dipper, you take down that badly dressed fashion disaster!"
Not really seeing how she nor the blonde can truly improvise without the proper weapons, Wyn nods her head in agreement.
"Alright, everyone, let's move!" Dipper commands. Lunging from their spots, the chosen enemies for each team member now race towards them, Wyn and Princess ducking as each Cerberus leaps towards them, but instead, jumps over them with both girls having ducked out of the way. Landing on their feet in perfect sync, both vicious dogs whip around, open their three mouths (six total), and release icy white fireballs towards the women, both ducking out of the way just in time as getting hit with a fireball of that color will automatically delete them from the game!
"This might be harder than I thought!" Princess says to herself as she now dodges another fireball from her copy of Cerberus.
With Dipper, he and Rumble are walking in a circle around the other as they intensely stare the other down, waiting for the other to make a move so to begin their battle. With three fireballs leaving Wyn's copy of Cerberus and slamming into the right wall of the colosseum, the wind and erupted fire from the missed attack intensifies the area Dipper and Rumble are in, casting a shadow on both member's faces as they continue their intense glare off!
"So we meet again young warrior!" Rumble speaks to Dipper. "I am hoping you have improved your fighting skills as you fight like a girl who is also a baby!"
"Oh I've improved alright." Dipper speaks in a low growl to the nine pack fight fighter, another fireball impacting the wall behind them and creating another intense scene. "You might have beaten me once, but you will never have another chance to do that again! I can guarantee you that as Winners Don't Lose!"
"I am the greatest fight fighter!" Rumble replies to Dipper. "I will win this fight and go on to fight more fighters in the Soviet Union!"
"I wouldn't count on that happening anytime soon!" Dipper intensely speaks, him and Rumble now stopping, their distance a foot from the other as another intense scene is created, this time with Princess running in the background with her copy of Cerberus chasing after her with the girl screaming, "Maybe improvising was a bad idea!"
"You're going down and you're going down today!" Dipper declares.
In the blink of an eye, Dipper wields his sword and swiftly swings it towards Rumble, the fight fighter now taking a major hit in the form of a twenty point deduction. A life bar for both players appears with a small bit of Rumble's life bar disappearing due to the hit he took from Dipper.
Placing his hands together, a fireball begins forming in the fighter's palms with Dipper firmly planting his feet on the ground as he refuses to run from Rumble this time! The fireball is now formed with Rumble releasing it towards Dipper. Gripping his sword handle, Dipper begins twirling the sword like a windmill's blade while creating a small wind in the process, his eyes never leaving the player. The fireball now impacts the windmill that Dipper has created, but instead of hitting Dipper, the attack is reflected back to Rumble, it hitting the player directly in the chest with thirty points being taken off of the fight fighter now! Gripping his chest, Rumble gets on one knee so to catch his breath!
"You have improved indeed warrior Dipper!" Rumble speaks to the player. "But this battle is not over yet! I will come out supreme and fly to the Soviet Union!"
"I never take someone's word at face value!" Dipper spits. "Just show me what you've got!"
Smirking at what Dipper just requested, Rumble climbs to his feet while raising his right foot in the air. Now bringing it down, a massive shockwave is created and is spreading quickly throughout the arena floor. While the attack was just intended for Dipper, Princess and Wyn are now impacted as well, all three players losing forty points each from the shockwave!
With Princess and Wyn dazed from the sudden attack and Dipper knocked to the ground, Wyn's copy of Cerberus now leaps onto her with the teen reacting quickly and placing her hands on both sides dog's first drooling mouth so to keep the dog from latching onto her as one bite from the animal will take two whole lives off of the players stats entirely!
"You don't scare me!" Wyn growls to the dog, the two heads on both sides of the first now trying to bite down on the teen, despite Wyn fending off the first head. "I've fought monsters bigger than you before! You're a puppy compared to what I've dealt with!"
Drawing her in right leg, Wyn now plunges her right foot into the chest of the dog, kicking it and throwing it backwards onto the ground. Jumping to her feet, Wyn whips out the armory shield and places it in front of her and just in time as the three headed dog releases a triple fireball attack towards her with each hitting the shield and deflecting back to the animal. The dog is knocked backwards as it glows a light blue with fifty points being deducted from its life points.
High in the emperor's box, Will's eyes are focused on the battle with them slowly changing back to ice blue. His program code runs through him once more, it checking the stats of his program and files. Noticing a change from his normal program, the code now updates itself and runs an update for his program along with running a virus check using his anti-viral program. Picking up on Gideon's viral code, which is blocking Will's program from running normally, the anti-virus program now isolates his code and deletes it from Will's system entirely with his systems now going back online!
Will's eyes now change back to icy blue with the program shaking his head and looking to the left of him, noticing Bill, a miserable Mabel, a smirking Gideon, and were-Robbie. Bill, who notices Will looking his direction, sneers at the control board. Gaining an idea, Bill vanishes from his spot and appears behind Will while making himself transparent. Now entering the control board, Bill takes control of Will, making the program stand and gain a disgusted look on his face as he looks in Gideon's direction.
"Gideon, how can anyone take you seriously with that hair?!" Bill makes Will say, with Gideon whipping his attention to the control board. "I've seen villains with better lairs than your hair style!"
"What?!" Gideon snaps as he jumps to his feet, forgetting that he is holding onto Mabel's hand, the girl being tugged towards him. "You better remember who you are working for! I can replace you anytime I want so you better watch it!"
Bill now exits Will's body still in transparent form, snickering at the trick he just pulled, leaving the program completely dazed from being shadowed.
"That'll teach you for touching MY Shooting Star!" Bill says to himself as he now fleshes out to his original form. "She is my Shooting Star and mine alone!"
"I'm sorry Gideon, I don't know what came over me." Will apologizes.
"I do!" Bill inwardly laughs to himself as he floats behind Mabel, the scent of her hair catching with the demon's nose, that is, if he had one. "I can really get use to a life time with her. Mabel Cipher, that has a nice ring to it, but before I can do any real planning, I have to think of a way to get her out of this!"
"If you really want to make up what you just said to me, fetch us a couple of drinks!" Gideon commands. "I don't want my lovely going thirsty! Now get!"
Plopping back down in his seat, Gideon turns to Mabel with a cocky grin, who in turn, turns away from his vision with a look of disgust. Walking towards the exit of the emperor's sky box, Will turns back to Gideon's crowd and Mabel with a smirk forming on his face.
"You want a couple of sodas? Fine, I'll get you just that!" Will speak to himself as he now runs off towards the exit.
Back in the arena, the three players are still fighting their perspective enemies with Princess now being at the mercy of her monster, the girl holding her hands on both sides of the mouth of the first head of the dog as droplets of drool is dropping into her face!
"Did anyone ever tell you how badly you need a stick of gum?!" Princess speaks through labored breathing to the dog while still holding him off! "Minty preferably!"
Raising her right leg, Princess kicks the dog off of her with it falling backward to the ground, but before it has a chance to get back up, a red beam impacts the dog and destroys it, it's four hundred life points now being added to Princess's stats.
"Ok, what just happened?" Princess questions, clearly confused about how her enemy was just destroyed, but not by her.
Hearing someone whistling to her from her left, Princess turns to see Will waving with a smile on his face. Placing his right index finger to his lips, he is telling the girl to keep what just happened a secret! With a confused smile, Princess nods.
Wyn now performs a tornado kick which impacts her Cerberus copy, it being slammed to the ground. Before it has a chance to get back up, a blue beam slams into the dog, destroying it with its points going to Wyn. Looking around to find the source of the beam, Wyn notices Will standing in the second door's doorway of the stadium waving to her. Confused at seeing the control board, Wyn nervously waves back to him.
Seeing the two dogs destroyed, Mabel perks up with her standing, a wide smile coming to her face. Seeing what Mabel is seeing, a scowl crosses Gideon's face as he gets to his feet as well.
"What's going on here?!" Gideon snaps, unpleased at what he just witnessed. "This wasn't a part of my plan!"
"I'm what's going on here and let's just say your plans are washed up!" Will replies now stepping into view and waving at Gideon. "I hope this little display was enough to wet your palette as you requested. I'm no longer under your control and now have full control of my program again! How do you like me now?"
"Way to go Will!" Mabel cheers to him with Gideon placing his hand over her mouth.
"The betrayal!" Gideon screams, now turning to his group. "We have to regroup! Let's go!"
Yanking Mabel along, Gideon and his group now exit the emperor's box, heading back to the castle.
"Will you're back!" Princess screams, her and Wyn now glomping the control board and nearly knocking him over. "But how? I thought you were evil?"
"Well temporarily I was due to Gideon blocking my program code from updating my system, but somehow my code worked around his viral code, updated my files, ran my anti-virus program, and deleted his code, therefore restoring me back to well, me." Will explains with Princess gaining a confused expression at the technical talk Will just gave both girls. Noticing the look on her face, Will playfully rolls his eyes. "My system was able to work around his virus to restore my program back to working order."
"Now with our monsters destroyed, what are we going to do about Dipper?" Wyn questions as she turns and notices Rumble perform an uppercut on Dipper, the boy's life bar now at less than fifty percent from the hit. "Without weapons, he's a sitting duck!"
"You just leave that to me!" Will speaks, placing his hands together while cracking his knuckles.
"But I thought you couldn't interfere in fights with level bosses." Wyn says to Will.
"That's the thing about rules, they are meant to be broken in certain instances." Will replies.
Review Please!
