Chapter 12: Rebooted!
'The team has met another new ally named Saim and the girls have been snatched by two of Gideon's cyber soldiers! How will this fight turn out?'
Previously
"Reverse Time!" Princess shouts, her voice echoing with time now stopping and rewinding itself. Everyone is now moved back onto the end of the second platform, Dipper included with his last move being erased as if it never happened. With him back with his team, Dipper looks at them in confusion.
"Ok, what just happened?" Dipper asks in confusion to his team.
"I used the time control clock to reverse your faulty move." Princess informs Dipper with a smile. "You might want to be careful next time."
"I surely will." Dipper smiles to the blonde. "Thanks a lot."
"And I know of a way we can through here even faster." Wyn speaks up with a grin. "I think it's time for everything to chill out!"
Going through her stats, Wyn now locates the Time Freeze hour glass. Selecting it, the teen player activates it.
"Time Freeze!" Wyn says with her voice echoing through the area, the guillotines, spikes, and cannons now freezing in place. "Ok everyone, let's move!"
From the second platform, everyone leaps onto the third, the forth, and now the fifth with the help of the spikes' platform providing a step from the fifth to the sixth platform. With laser beam traps frozen, everyone makes it past that area and onto the peaceful ground where the flowers sit. Time now becomes unfrozen with everything resuming.
"That was like so handy dudes." Saim voices. "I gotta thank Will for hooking us up!"
"Well with us almost at the check point, you'll be able to-"Wyn begins, but is cut off by an electric shock now surging through her and Princess's suit of armor, both women screaming out and falling to the ground unconscious. A silver net now surrounds them and lifts them off the ground!
Before the guys can call out to the girls, two cyber soldiers emerge from the forest and aim their fully charged disrupter blasters at the guys and Spider!
"If you want live, you'll drop your weapons immediately!" The solider on to the right speaks.
Currently
It's not bad enough that Mabel is in the clutches of Gideon, but now the guys have to save Wyn and Princess from two cyber soldiers that were sent no doubt by Gideon!
"You have your orders!" The left cyborg speaks to the gang. "Drop your weapons immediately or the girls get it!"
"Or maybe you should drop your weapons!" Saim retorts back to the soldiers, now aiming his combined machine gun towards the two. "Two can play at that game dude!"
"Hang on Saim, we may not have to resort to that just yet." Dipper calmly says to the cyborg. "Maybe, just maybe I can reason with these two and get some information out of them."
Retracting his arm cannon, Dipper now steps in front of Saim and faces the two cyborgs with both now aiming their disrupters towards Dipper with each move he makes.
"Ok fellas, I know that Gideon sent you two to stop us in our tracks, but I can already tell you that Gideon is the bad guy and if you-" a blast from the right soldier's disrupter blaster hitting Dipper dead in his chest interrupts the boy as he is now thrown backwards on the ground! One hundred fifty points are now taken off of his stats along with an entire life!
"Oh that is so not cool dude!" Saim speaks up with him re-directing his machine gun towards the two soldiers and now releasing a few rounds towards them. "You're going to pay for hurting my friend!"
Placing their guns to their sides, the two cyborgs quickly separate in opposing directions with an outline of their forms trailing behind them, Saim's bullets completely missing them!
"What the?" Saim begins, becoming dumbfounded at how his rapid fired rounds missed the two borgs at such close range. The two cyborgs now rejoin side by side and aim their disrupters towards Saim, pulling the trigger in one swift motion.
Saim doesn't get a moment to ponder on it as he is now hit with the dual disrupter blasts to his abdomen, but due to the amount of machinery that he is composed of, but has an equal amount of defenses, the cyborg is knocked backwards while standing firm on his feet as the feeling of the blast of the disruptors surge through his circuits. Only one hundred points out of four hundred are taken off of Saim's stats along with a half of his life. That leaves Saim with two entire lives and a half!
"If you want to take me down, you're going to have to do better than that dude!" Saim growls now changing his machine guns to the photon blasters with the cyborg aiming both guns towards the twin borgs! Blasting several rounds of photons towards the borgs, they now turn themselves invisible with the blasts going right through them! Becoming stumped again, Saim doesn't get a moment to blink before he is once again hit by the disruptor blasts, now taking the half of life Saim has off of his two, now leaving him with only two whole lives.
"We were sent by the game master to destroy you and that's exactly what we're going to do!" The cyborgs speak in unison. "Begin phase two of plan!"
Both borgs now turn and face each other as the metal plates in their chests now collapse inwards like miniature elevators. A set of tethered wires now rise out of where the plates sat on the cyborgs and connect together with both borgs slamming into each other face to face! A turquoise light now surrounds both and begins growing with Saim's pupils shrinking as he watches the light increase in height before him, an unconscious Dipper, and Spider! With his eight eyes, Spider blinks them continuously as he watches the display with fear now overcoming the arachnid. With the disruptor blast now wearing off, Dipper opens his eyes with them quickly widening at the sight of combined cyborgs' growing height behind the wall of turquoise. With the light now reaching its max height, it disappears to reveal to everyone a large heavily armored super solider with four arms, the first set equipped with weapons while the other set are not, a rounded steel chest plate, two large ropey wires running from both sides of it it's neck, the right running into the rounded chest plate and the left running into the back of it, and mock steel armor covering the entire solider. On the right arm of the first set of arms of the huge solider is a large cannon with the abilities to change to many gun related weapons in the blink of an eye and on the left arm of the first set of limbs is a lighting sword that will not only take a player's life, but also every point they gained from throughout the game! Stretching both non-equipped arms out without looking in either direction, the solider snatches the nets from their holding areas in the ceiling and opens it mouth, both women now being held over its mouth ready to be consumed by the huge machine.
"WYN! PRINCESS! NO!" Dipper shouts to both women as he leaps to his feet. "WAKE UP YOU TWO! YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE EATEN! NO! PUT THEM DOWN!"
But to no avail, neither woman hears him calling out to them with the robot now consuming them both, both players lifelessly tumbling inside the mouth of the robot as if they were falling down a laundry shoat!
"Targets deleted!" The robot speaks, now turning its vision to the remaining team mates. "More targets locked on!"
Seeing that his two team mates were consumed by the robot and confirmed deleted from the game, Dipper can feel his heart sink as a wave of despair hits him like a ton of bricks. Wyn and Princess, two of the best teammates that he could have ever met in this twisted video game world, are now gone forever, never to be returned to their team. First Mabel was snatched by one of Gideon's minions with the help of Bill Cipher and now them? What else will Gideon throw at him?
"Wyn…Princess…No.." Dipper stammers out, his eyes still glued to the robot that took his teammates away from him as tears begin prickling in the corners of them. As much as he wants to fight to get them back, the boy is starting to believe that none of this is worth fighting for anymore. Nearly everyone he has held so dear is now gone so what is the point of fighting on anymore so to keep losing in the end?
"Now that they have been consumed, it's time for you to join them!" The solider exclaims, now changing its equipped right arm to a rapid fire cannon. Pointing towards the remaining players, the cyborg begins firing towards them with Dipper being too in shock to move an inch. Spider, seeing the blast coming right for Dipper, leaps right in front of him and lowers his head, the shield now taking the shots while Saim places both of his arms in front of him for protection as an armadillo shell forms around him, his share of the bullets now being deflected. The shots that were meant for Dipper are deflected off of Spider's shield and bounces back towards the cyborg, it hitting him dead in the chest, but the bullets bounce off of the cyborg's chest like flies hitting a closed window! His shock now wearing off, Dipper looks up and notices Spider standing in front of him and is protecting him. While still in disbelief about losing his teammates, the drive to fight that he once had is beginning to wear off, Dipper feeling as if going forward to fight isn't worth it anymore.
"Hey kid, why the long face?" Will's perky voice speaks to Dipper, the boy snapping out of his trance to look for the control board. "That doesn't look like the Dipper I met when he first entered the game!"
Still looking around the area for Will, Will's face now appears on the back of Spider's thorax, the control board now noticing that Dipper is still looking for him.
"Up here!" Will instructs to the confused player with Dipper now turning in the direction of the voice and jumping back at seeing Will's face on the back of Spider.
"Will you stop doing that?!" Dipper snaps, his sadness now changing to burning rage at the control's method of getting his attention. "I am in NO mood to put up with this right now! Wyn and Princess are now gone from the game thanks to Gideon's walking Pin Ball machine up there! First Mabel and now them!"
"While I'm not one for illusions, I can already tell you that what happened with the girls is one big illusion." Will explains to the angry player. "And a really bad one at that!"
"Will you cut it with the cryptic talk and tell me what you're trying to say?!" Dipper fumes.
"Ok, let me put it in simpler terms for you: Wyn and Princess are still in the game, but are being held prisoner by the robot." Will simplifies for Dipper. "He might have consumed them, but they are not deleted. Let me give you a clearer picture."
Will's face disappears with a projection screen appearing in its place on the back of Spider. The arachnid is slightly thrown backwards as the cyborg attacks once more, but the creature is determined to protect Dipper considering the state of mind he is in, or was. The projection screen now tunes into the inside of the robot which displays Princess and Wyn laying opposite of each other against the wall of the robot's holding area, both women still unconscious from the disruptor blasts as a green light beams down on the women while above both women's heads are two golden hearts with the first heart slowly waning, indicating that they don't have many lives left or time left in the game if they remain where they are. The screen disappears with Will's face returning.
"So while it appeared that they were taken out of the game, I just showed just how terrible of an illusion artist that really robot is!" Will speaks in disgust. "But they don't have much time left if they remain where they are for too much longer as the robot is sucking the life out of them as we speak per Gideon's orders. That much I can say for sure so you have to save them before their last life is down to just a sliver because once that happens, they will be deleted from the game for good!"
"But how can I defeat something so huge?" Dipper questions to the board, a strong wind now slamming into Dipper and Spider due to Saim's torso cannon blasting at the cyborg. "That thing just ate my friends! There is no way I can even put a scratch on him!"
"Hey, I'm not called the Control Board for nothing." Will slightly laughs at his own joke. "Control board! Ha! See what I did there? Anyway, look to your right arm."
Listening to Will, Dipper turns to his right arm and notices his arm cannon.
"It's my arm cannon you gave me." Dipper says to the board. "What's so special about that?"
"Well if you look closer, you'll see that I added a signal disruptor feature." Will points out with Dipper getting a good look at the cannon. "Once put it in use, a stream of electricity will disrupt anything electrical, thus frying its power source. Now if you really want to hit them with a double whammy, you can use the cannon as well as the signal disruptor at once and that will shut your enemies down in one fellow swoop!"
The cannon has indeed been upgraded as Will pointed out. The barrel of the cannon is a smidgen smaller and has tiny wires that are running from his suit of armor's right arm right into the cannon, a feature that wasn't present when he just had the ordinary arm cannon. Sitting atop the barrel of the cannon is a much smaller cannon barrel that outputs a stream of electricity that, as Will explained, can disrupt another electrical object's power source, thus frying its signal.
"Your arm cannon now has two features." Will continues. "Not only is it an ordinary arm cannon, but it can easily be switched to a signal disruptor so to disrupt anything electrical on this level, thus gaining an advantage. You can also use the two at once if you really want to do some damage and the big guy up there, I wouldn't be too concerned about him as his weakness is on his back along with the two wires running from his neck. While he can be hit anywhere to weaken him, his weak spot and the wires are what you want to aim for as the right one is running into the chest plate where the girls are and the left that is supplying his weak spot. To identify the weak spot in particular, there is a medium sized triangular area that is glowing different colors. That is where he must be attacked the most so to reduce his points and save the girls, but cut the wires first or your attempts will be all for not. His life points are at five hundred and sixty two, but due to the damage your remaining teammates are causing, his life points are now down five hundred and one. So why don't you give them a hand and take the big lug down! Oh and be careful of his lighting sword. That thing will leave a mark that will never heal!"
"Will do Will." Dipper nods to the control board. "Thanks for always being there for us. We'd never make it through without you."
"No problem kid and keep that head of yours up." Will smiles with a hover board now appearing next to Dipper. "And I mean that literally as this hover board will make it easier for you to reach his weak area and those wires that much faster. He will do whatever he can to keep you from reaching them so get to them before he gets to you!"
Leaping onto the hover board, Dipper nods to Will with the control board's face disappearing from the back of Spider and Dipper slowly rising into the air from behind Spider.
"Hey you overgrown pinball machine!" Dipper shouts to the robot, it now turning in his direction. "Still hungry? Eat on this!"
Placing his arm in front of him, the signal disruptor now releases a blast towards the cyborg with the large robot now taking a hit directly in its jaw, knocking the mantle off of its face! According the infrared sensor on Dipper's right eye, the robot has lost thirty points which now takes it down to four hundred seventy one. Those thirty points are now added to Dipper's stats.
"Saim and Spider, I'm going around the back!" Dipper informs them. "You two keep attacking him from the front and aim for the wires on its neck! The more we weaken him, the quicker we can save the girls!"
"You got it dude!" Saim agrees, now changing his arms to the singular machine gun and releasing a few rapid rounds towards the robot.
Spider agrees in his own way by charging towards the robot with his forehead armory shield in sight and ramming into its right leg, the limb now denting as sparks begin spewing from the limb. Lifting up it's right foot so to crush Spider and Saim beneath it, both cohorts move out of the way as the robot now brings it down with force with the limb now bending backwards as more sparks spew from the limb!
"Right limb out of commission!" The robot speaks, its system registering that its right limb is indeed out of commission.
Now zipping around to the back of the robot, Dipper's eyes now land on the area that Will mentioned to him being the weak spot of the robot and the wire that is supplying its energy source.
"There it is!" Dipper mumbles to himself, his signal disruptor now changing to his ordinary arm cannon. "Time to take you out!"
Just as Dipper aims the cannon towards the wire supplying the triangle, the cyborg's head now turns towards him with its eyes now releasing large gold beams towards the player, Dipper zipping out of the way as he narrowly avoids being hit by the bot's eye beams! With his arm cannon already ready to fire, Dipper fires a blast towards the right eye of the robot, destroying it! From that blast, the robot now loses forty points which reduces its total points down to four hundred thirty one!
"Right eye out of commission!" The cyborg speaks. "Moving to back up systems!"
"I'll do you one even better!" Dipper smirks, now aiming his arm cannon towards the wire and releasing a blast towards it! The blast now hits the wire and splits it in half, thus cutting off the power source to its triangular weak spot. "Direct hit!"
Noticing the cyborg's attention on Dipper, Saim sees an opportunity to really to some damage to the robot. Charging his torso cannon once more, Saim is eyeing the area that he plans to blast, which is the chest plate of the robot. Having done his damage for now, Dipper zips in front of the robot and notices Saim charging his torso cannon.
"Let's see how great you are with a huge hole in the middle of you!" Saim speaks in a tirade.
"No! Saim! Don't aim for his chest!" Dipper warns him, his detector now picking up the robot's lighting sword aiming right for him from behind. Zipping out of the way, Dipper moves to the left of the robot while blasting out its other eye with his arm cannon. Forty more points are lost which takes the robot down to three hundred ninety points. "The girls are right where you plan to shoot! Blast him anywhere, just not in the chest!"
"And now you tell me?!" Saim stresses, his torso cannon now fully charged with him changing direction and blowing off the cyborg's left arms, which takes off one hundred points, two hundred and ninety remaining.
Inside the robot, Wyn's eyes now flutters open with the heavy vibrations of the robot being attacked having woken her up. Turning her head slightly, Wyn notices Princess still unconscious and is slowly changes colors, a whole life having waned with the last one now slowly waning. Noticing this, Wyn tries to move, but feels her efforts being thwarted due to the energy of the robot sucking the life out of her and Princess, her own life line down to one gold heart.
"Princess." Wyn weakly calls out to her. "Princess wake up."
The blonde now stirs, but her eyes remain closed. Seeing that the blonde made a slight movement, Wyn begins mustering up what strength she can so to make her way to the blonde to wake her up. Having gathered what strength she can from what energy she has left, Wyn crawls over to Princess and begins shaking her, Princess's eyes now cracking open just slightly.
"Princess, wake up." Wyn continues urging the blonde. "We have to get out of here. I'm not sure where we are, but we have to find a way out."
The robot is once again attacked with Wyn falling over on the blonde, her eyes now fully opening.
"Wyn?" Princess weakly speaks. "Why are you laying on me?"
"I was thrown on you, but that's not important right now." Wyn replies to the girl. "We are trapped somewhere that obviously is in motion. I don't know where, but we are and we have to get out of here."
"I just want to rest right now." Princess yawns while snuggling up to the wall. "We can leave later."
"No, princess you can't sleep right now!" Wyn weakly stresses. "You don't have but one life left and if you fall asleep, you'll be deleted from the game! You have to wake up!"
Seeing that her words are now falling on deaf ears, Wyn can feel herself slowly falling into the pit of exhaustion, the energy she was able to muster up now cycling out of her.
"We-have—to—move." Wyn's words now trail off as she leans back against the wall with her eyes sliding closed, her body now beginning to glitch.
Outside of the robot and having dodged two swipes from the lighting sword as the cyborg's last defense, Dipper is now on the back of the robot as he sends another stream of electricity towards its weak spot, having cut the wire that was supplying its chest plate! The robot is now down to its last ninety five points. From the blast to the weak spot, the robot loses seventy of its points, with only twenty five remaining, as indicated on his infrared indicator.
"Only twenty five left!" Dipper cheers. "Saim, would you and Spider like to do the honors?"
"You got it dude!" Saim replies back with a thumbs up. "Come on Spider, let's do this!"
The shield on Spider's forehead now changes to a cannon like the rest of the team has and Saim switches to his photon blasters. Raising his right arm towards the neck of the robot same as Spider raising his cannon, both team members release an attack at once with their combined attacks slamming right into the neck of the robot, decapitating it! With the robot falling forwards, the chest plate of the robot now creaks open revealing both girls as they tumble towards the edge of the plate. Zipping around to the front of the robot, Dipper notices how close both girls are to plunging to the ground below and swings under the plate, catching both girls as they now tumble over the edge of the plate.
"I wouldn't let you ladies fall now would I?" Dipper speaks to them as he hoists both over both of his shoulders, him finding them to be surprisingly light.
Quickly zipping away with them and Saim along with Spider taking cover behind a set of trees, the robot now hits the ground as it explodes in a wall of flames!
Lowering the three of them to the ground in a safe space, Dipper steps off of the board and gently lays both girls down side by side on the metal ground. Quickly running through his stats, Dipper selects a life potion, the bottle now visibly appearing in his hand. Uncorking it, Dipper pours half in Princess's mouth and the other half in Wyn's. Considering how close both women were to being taken out of the game due to their diminishing lives, if Dipper hadn't given them the life potion when he did, their team really would have been short two members! With the potion now inside both women, Dipper kneels in front of them and observes the drained color slowly returning to their faces and arms.
Saim arrives to Dipper's left with Spider arriving to Dipper's right, them looking down at the women as well.
"Are they going to be alright dude?" Saim questions, his eyes on Princess as her lives begin replenishing above her head. "They don't look so good."
"They should be Saim." Dipper replies quietly, him noticing Wyn's lives also replenishing above her head. "They took some pretty bad hits while inside the robot and it may take them a while to get back on their feet, but I'm sure they are going to be fine."
Seeing the condition the women are in, Spider kneels down next to Wyn while blinking his eight eyes sadly at seeing the one who trained him in such bad condition. Purring sadly, the spider takes one of its front legs and nudges Wyn, but doesn't receive a response from her. If a spider could cry, Spider would be tearing up at noticing his trainer like this.
With everyone's attention on Wyn and Princess, no notice is taken when Will pops into the area. Seeing what is going on in front of him, Will walks to the side of Spider and looks down at the girls as well, him noticing how pale and weak they appear.
"They just need time to recuperate and after which, they will be fine." Will voices, breaking the silence with Spider, Dipper, and Saim turning in his direction.
"They don't look so good." Dipper speaks to the control board. "And they certainly can't continue through the game like this. If they get attacked once, they're done for."
"I know." Will speaks, his normally happy expression changing to a serious one, his eyes on the unconscious girls as well. "They can't stay out here or they will be goners for sure, but I know of a place where they can rest for the time until they are back on their feet. A place not even Gideon knows of."
"That will be great Will." Dipper calmly speaks now getting to his feet. "I can't go on without them, none of us can."
Saim and Spider nod in confirmation.
"No need to worry because you won't have to." Will replies, his smile coming to his face. "Where we're going, they are going to get everything they need to get back on their feet! Even you guys look as if you can use a little pick me up as well!"
"Well I am kind of famished from charging my cannon dude." Saim voices to Will.
"Well, hold on everyone because this will be one bumpy ride." Will replies. "Ok, not that bumpy because we're traveling air Will!"
Raising his hands into the air, the control board places them side by side. Swiftly pulling them apart, a blue force field now forms around everyone with it quickly disappearing along with the team!
Level 12 (Master Bedroom)
Mabel is still in disbelief of what Bill just told her concerning what he read on the contract.
"What do you mean I may not be rejoining my brother's team?!" Mabel asks to the demon in an outrage as she leaps to her feet. "I have to! We got sent here together and we're leaving here together!"
"Well, that's sort of the only way to get you out of this mess Shooting Star." Bill replies as he removes his hat, rubs the top of the hat against his left wrist and places it back on his head.
"So what is the loop hole you found in the contract?" Mabel questions, remembering that Bill indeed mention there being one.
"Oh the loop hole, that's right." Bill replies. "Well, the loop hole will allow me to change the outcome of the deal between me and Gideon. While I did grant him what he wanted, which was revenge against Pine Tree, then at any time I want, I can change the outcome of how the deal plays out, giving it an alternate ending per se."
"But won't that break the deal between you and Gideon?" Mabel asks, cocking an eyebrow.
"No, but let me explain how this works." Bill replies. "When Gideon made a deal with me and handed over the proper collateral so to get what he wants, he technically handed over the rights of how the deal is played out up to me. I granted the wish, therefore, I can change it whenever I want. He got the majority of what he wanted, but the ending is mine to do what I want with."
"So why can't you change the ending with me staying in the game instead of leaving?!" Mabel questions, the girl's facial expression looking as if she is becoming stressed by the situation. "I have to stay and I know there is something you can do to make that happen!"
Hearing the stress in the girl's voice with wanting to rejoin Dipper and the rest of the team, Bill knows there is only one way to handle the matter and one way only. It's a far shot that Mabel will go for it, but it seems to be the last resort to fixing this matter.
"Then there is only one way to settle this Shooting Star." Bill begins as he slips Mabel's hand into his. "You have to make a deal with me. It will no way interfere with my deal with Gideon, but yet, turn your wish into a reality. You want to be back with your brother and I certainly don't want you to remain here to suffer under Gideon's rule so in order to change things with you, I urge you to do this. You said moments ago that you trusted me, therefore, trust me by making a deal with me."
"But what about the area of the contract that states I might have to leave the game?" Mabel questions, remembering that downfall of the contract.
"That will only be if I changed things under Gideon's deal, but by you making a deal with me, that area doesn't apply whatsoever." Bill urges as he lightly squeezes her hands, hoping the girl will accept his bargain. "I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you while you remained here with him and I know I don't have the best history when it comes to keeping a promised deal, but please Shooting Star, I really want to help you and I promise to keep my deal in place with you. I wouldn't do this for anyone else, but for you I will."
Turning to the demon's cyan flamed covered hands that are holding onto hers, Mabel is hesitant to voice the words needed so to change her fate of her current situation. While she does want to be back with her brother and Bill did say he would use his power to get her back with him while having her verbal statement agreeing to that, she doesn't know if making a deal with him will be the best thing, even if he is saying that he will keep her deal's promise. Turning away from his hands to her ring finger where Gideon's ring sits, Mabel closes her eyes while releasing a sigh. Considering what Bill has the ability to do while the deal is in place with Gideon, Mabel knows the decision that she now has to make. Opening her eyes, Mabel turns her vision back to Bill, sadness mixed with determination appearing in them.
"I'm sorry, but I can't make a deal with you Bill." Mabel rejects as she slips her hands out of his gently with Bill's eye widening from her decision.
"But Shooting Star, I only-" Bill begins pleading, but is cut off by Mabel raising her hand to him.
"You say have the ability to change the deal between you and Gideon and make the outcome different, then I say use your ability to do that." Mabel sternly speaks to the demon. "There's something I have to do and as much as I don't want to do it, trust me that this is for the best. It'll at least spare Dipper, Wyn, and Princess more time to get to here."
Leaning over to Bill, Mabel places a kiss on the right side of his triangular face.
"Just trust me." Mabel whispers to Bill. "I know what I'm doing."
Turning away from the demon, the brunette makes her way to the door. Opening it, Mabel is greeted by were-Robbie leaping in front of her to prevent her from leaving the bedroom as commanded by Gideon as he doesn't want a 'runaway bride' so to speak. Sternly looking into the eyes of the were-wolf, Mabel sharply draws in a breath.
"Take me to Gideon." Mabel requests. "I have to speak with him and give him my decision."
Grunting in response, were-Robbie roughly grabs Mabel's right arm and begins dragging her towards the control room, despite how tight his grip is on her. From the bedroom doorway, Bill watches helplessly as Mabel is being drug to Gideon, something that he tried his hardest to prevent, but Mabel had other ideas. Feeling as if a rock is sitting in the pit of his stomach, Bill sadly sighs as the girl is drug out of sight.
"I don't want you taken out of the game." Bill sadly speaks. "Because I love you Mabel."
