Level 1: Beyond the Rift
CITY OF THE SOON-TO-BE-DAMNED

It's a battle to the death. Preferably someone else's. Gideon's puppet strings can no longer be pulled and the puppeteer's comeuppance has just come up. Ancient One? Are you listening. Then hear this...

Gidoen emerges to face Caleb

Gideon as Something Unpleasant

The portal deposits Caleb on an altar in the middle of a rocky desert. There is a Cabalco encampment nearby, with a lonely flag, some cargo containers, and a host of dead Fanatics. Caleb follows the corpses to a ruined temple, where he finds Gideon standing there, waiting for him.

GIDEON: Ah, Caleb, I've been expecting you, you predictable oaf. I won't be a minute. I'm just changing into something unpleasant.

The camera pans around Caleb, disguising Gideon's transformation. When it returns, he has transformed into a giant spider.

GIDEON: What do you think of my new look?

CALEB: Ugh, and I thought I was ugly.

GIDEON: You have no idea how exquisite pain can feel. Allow me to demonstrate.

CALEB: Go ahead, I'll watch.

GIDEON: I mean on you!

CALEB: Let's boogie, boogeyman.

Caleb and Gideon fight, with Caleb the obvious victor.

CALEB: When you get to hell, tell 'em I sent you. You'll get a discount.

GIDEON: No… it's not fair... I'll kill you.

CALEB: Life's not fair, but neither is death. Get used to it!
