Gideon stared down at the corpse of Emmanuel. The thin hispanic man had his head down on the control panel of the security room. If it wasn't for the fact that the back of skull was cave in and his liver had been removed Emanuel could almost be sleeping. Of Buford there was no sign.
"I am sorry Emmanuel, I failed you. Your job was to keep us safe from external threats, mine was to keep us safe from internal. Yet again, my arrogance has allowed another to be hurt. We would think I would learn."
Turning from the body he signaled for two of his other followers to enter. Looking like younger copies of Emmanuel, one wore white and the other brown. Both suits otherwise identical to the black one Emanuel had worn.
"Take your time to mourn in this room, because when you exit it will be time to strike back against those whom would harm those we have decided to protect."
The two men nodded, and as Gideon exited the room, the sound of feeding began.
Gideon shuddered, "To each their own way to mourn I suppose."
Taking a breath he once more address the empty hallway, "I have learned, and the price of the lesson was to steep. I will not be paying it again."
Swiftly striding to his office, he walked over to the South East wall. Pressing a panel, a door opened to a place only few knew of. A place that he kept secret for the privacy of others. All the secrets of all his followers dwelt in this room, along with one other. One other that would allow no one, not even him, gain access to those secrets.
".Gifanny, can I talk to you for a moment."
A pink haired young woman poked her head out of the stacks. Seeing Gideon she raised an eyebrow.
"What do you need, Gideon? The secrets in this room are off limits. Only Emanuel is supposed to enter into here."
Gideon sighed, he had hoped Emanuel's brothers had informed his girlfriend of his death. He would have to talk with them later on the subject.
".Gifanny, what was the last thing Emanuel told you about what has been happening here these last few hours."
Coming out from behind the stacks, the sound of servos was heard as the young woman came into full view. Still bearing the same young appearance, as well as wearing the same School girl Prep uniform she had worn in the game that had birthed her, the robotic woman sighed and looked away.
"He told me that Mabel was here and that someone had hurt her, I didn't want to come out because I had done such awful things. Emanuel convinced me that I should talk to her. After all Soos and Melody both forgave me, and I needed to apologize to the rest of his family." Giggling the Young Woman showed Gideon a band of Gold that she had fused to one of her fingers. "I was going to ask her to be one of my Bridesmaids, isn't it the most beautiful engagement ring ever. Emanuel installed it himself."
Seeing the stricken look on Gideon's face she started to shake, "Gideon, what's going on? Where's Emmanuel? Where is my Fiance?"
Gideon took a breath, "Emanuel caught one of those that hurt Mabel. Had him brought in for interrogation. The man's name was Ezekiel of the Family Malachite. After a disturbing conversation, Buford asked if he could be the one to conduct further conversations with the Man. Neither I nor Enamel had a problem with that, so we allowed it. I requested Emanuel stay behind to ensure that Buford didn't get to enthusiastic with his questions. A short while later, Ezekiel walked into the kitchen and tried to kill Mabel. After he failed at that, I sought out Emanuel and Buford, I feared the worst, that I had lost two friends today. Instead something horrible occured. I watched the tapes, Bufford had his conversation with Ezekiel and then proceeded to kill Emanuel. The traitor then set Ezekiel free and fled the compound."
Gideon watched as his words slowly destroyed the woman. Watched as she sank to her knees, yet he did not approach her. In truth he had no idea what to say or do. Gideon wished like hell Mabel was here. She was better at giving comfort then he ever had been.
All he could do was mutter, a "Sorry for your loss," and exit the room. Nodding to Emanuel's brothers as they passed him going into the hidden chamber.
"Huh, Geuss I don't have to talk to them about that. They were going to tell her afterward."
The mournful cries echoed out as an AI that had developed a soul and her two Chupacabrian brother in laws screamed out their pain. Gideon's eyes hardened. He would lose no more friends, he was done.
Closing his eyes, he saw it. The locked and chained door that held the part of him that Cypher had touched. The monster within. Inside his own mind he broke the chains and let that which was Cypher in him step out. Clad in a white suit like his, but with the eyes of the demon, tears ran down the other Gideon's face.
Gideon looked to his darker half, "Crying for others, I had no idea we were capable of that."
Gideon Cypher nodded, "Here in our minds we can cry as much as we like. I may be all that Cypher touched in you, when he saved us as an infant. But Emanuel was my friend too. I LOVE Mabel just as much as you do." Here the thing paused. "I know what you want and I agree. Take everything I am, I gladly submit and become one with you. I just want to know that you will wipe the Family of Malachite out of existence. That you will pick up every weapon along the way point it down their diseased twisted throats and burn them from existence. I want them all DEAD!"
The mental houl of anguish blew passed Gideon, who stood there impassively, waiting for his mental counterpart to calm himself.
"Of Course, Mabel is trying to get in touch with Pacifica now. After we finish our business, I will be making my own call. I hate to interrupt them on their vacation, but the two of them need to know. .Giffany will make sure the message gets through. I am gonna need the both of them."
Gideon Cypher smiled, "Then we have reached an accord then. I will cease to exist and you will have full control of all that I am. Give Mabel our love, please?"
"As if there was any doubt."
Turning to a million points of light Gideon Cypher shot forward, enveloping the white suited man. Opening his eyes in the real world, Gideon rose, power giving strength to his exhausted body. Turning, he watched as the three left the room of secrets.
"Burn the entire room, no one gets the information in there. We leave within the day. I am doing what I should have done in the first place and we are disappearing. And Then we are going to go HUNTING!"
.Giffanny bowed her head slightly and pointed her hand, palm up into the room that had been her home since she had come to Gideon. Since she had decided see who she was independent of her programing. Flame shot forward, .Giffanny turned from the door, her home was where her family was and her two brothers were right here on either side of her. The door shut, turning the room into a gigantic crematorium. All that was in that room would be ash.
Reaching out with his power, Gideon called his cane and his cape to him, turning to .Giffany he said.
".Giffianny, dear it is time that we ask for the happy couples help, desperate times and all that. It is time that Gravity Falls shows the family Malachite what happens when you take one of our loved ones. When you treat one of us so shamefully."
Nodding .Giffany and her brothers went out, each moving faster then the human eye could follow. Gideon once more spoke to an empty room.
"Go, find Melody and Soos, because If we Die, we must all die together. So let the Flames Burn all of the horrid things away."
