The Amazing World of Gumball
Xmortis's Aura
Ch. 1 Invade
It has been a two months since the Town of Elmore was under seige by Limbo and his servants. Many people lost their lives. However, one particular creature wanted to stop this invasion. Gumball Watterson, no more then 12 years old, stood by the side of two figures who are brothers from another era. Together, the three stopped the force and managed to calm the raging power of Limbo. The town had rebuilt itself and all was normal again. Or... was it? Ever since the invasion of these servants, there have been factions all over the town. Some out for peace. While some... blood. Recent activity from these factions have caught the attention of the press and soon the entire town was run by these factions. Fortunately for those that live in the suburbs, the factions left them alone. Let's go to a small blue house that holds the hero of this story.
Gumball sat at the table stirring his cereal, looking bored then ever. Darwin was sitting next to him, joyfully drawing on a peice of paper. A wrapped gift stood at the feet of Gumball. He looked down at it and read the tag:
Thank you, Flint and Steel.
Gumball sighed.
"Dude, you really need to let that go." Darwin said still drawing. Gumball gave him a bored look.
"Has it really been a couple of months since I saw those two?" Gumball asked his friend. Darwin thought about it.
"Well, yeah." he finally said.
"And not only have their leave got to me, I've been having weird nightmares about Xmortis." Gumball said
"Do you think it's a coencidence that this Xmortis guy and Limbo are... I don't know... connected?" Darwin asked. Gumball raised an eyebrow at him.
"Darwin, that's the third time you said something that makes sense. Your scaring me dude." Gumball said.
"I can be smart too." Darwin chuckled. Gumball smiled.
"So how is it with you and Penny?" Darwin asked changing the subject.
"Huh? Oh yeah, it's been great!" Gumball said with joy. "We have another date planned for next week." Darwin stifled a laugh. "What? What's so funny?" Gumball narrowed his eyes at him.
"Oh nothing." Darwin adverted his eyes with a smile.
"Your not telling me something." Gumball said.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Darwin said with a challenged expression.
"Alright, you're on." Gumball said.
In a harbor in London, a giant ship titled The Black Stahli floated beside a bridge. Crew men moved back and forth. Going to their work post. Not far were two children, a husky and a squirrle, looked in awe at the giant ship.
"Wot do ya' think, mate?" the squirrle asked his doggy friend. The husky gripped his right hand. Underneath his coat sleeve, a small blade shot out of it. The husky admired the hidden blade.
"It's simple. We get in, take out anyone that sees us, hide in one of those giant metallic trailers, and go visit my father." the husky said drawing the blade back into his coat sleeve.
"But... I don't want to kill..." the squirrle said. The husky smiled and placed his friends head against his chest.
"Look, we are brothers, are we not? We formed a gang here. The Street Rats. Remember?" the husky told him. The squirrle gripped his sleeve.
"Tin... promise you won't kill unless it's for a good reason..." he said sadly. THe husky starightend his pose and held two fingers to his nose.
"I'll make a Street Rat promise." Tin said. The squirrle smiled at him.
"Thank's mate." he said. Tin thought back on the time him and his squirrle friend were in an orphanage. Tin had thought he had no parents all his life. That they abondoned him because he would be an abomination to the world. Eventually, he met Tick the squirrle. The small squirrle drew himself away from everyone, letting himself be picked on by the other orphans. Tin watched this from a far. Soon, he grew tired of it, and the line was drawn when one of the older orphans locked Tick in the cold dark basement. Tin had read his file. He had a problem. Schizophrenia. The poor boy has been terrified by his problem. Sometimes, Tin could hear him cry in the middle of the night, muttering to whatever was in his head to go away. But when that older boy locked Tick in the basement, Tin walked over, beat the crap out of the boy and went in to free Tick.
Ever since then, Tin and Tick stood by each other like brothers. When Tin became 9 years old, he started a gang made for kids and only kids. Not just normal kids, but kids that had a number of problems with them. Together, they created the gang called the Street Rats. And through out London, they stole, fought, protected and fed one another. Tin had grew close to this gang that he considered them his family, as the members thought the same. Soon, Tin was called "Father" because of his ability to use his senses to lead the kids to survival. He was soon shocked to discover that he indeed had a father. A letter arrived to the orphanage and was sitting on Tin's bunk. After reading the letter so many times, he couldn't believe it. His father had written to him. How did his father know he was here? Why would he write to me now after his parents abondoned him? So many questions ran through his mind.
The sound of a ship horn snapped back his attention.
"We have to go now." Tin said. Tick nodded and the two snuck on board the ship. They took cover in a blue trailer. Their breaths echoed through out the hallow box. Tick began to shudder. Tin went over to him and sat down with his back against the wall. Tick sat next to him.
"I...I don't like this place..." Tick said shaking even more. Tin patted his friends back.
"Don't worry mate, we will be there in no time." Tin assured him. Tick looked at him.
"I've put it off untill now. Where exactly are we heading?" Tick asked him. Tin sighed.
"We are going to Elmore." Tin said.
Gumball. Darwin and Anais sat on the couch watching the TV flip through the channles.
"Argh! There is nothing good that's on!" Gumball whined.
"Well, what about the news?" Anais asked her bbig brother.
"What about it?" Gumball asked her back. Anais sighed.
"Haven't you heard? About the factions?" Anais told them. Gumball and Darwin looked at each other.
"Well, we did hear Tobias and Banana Joe talk about factions at school, but we didn't hear them talk about the ones going on in town." Darwin said.
"We thought they were having a "pals before gals" moment." Gumball said continuing flipping through the channles. He stopped on the Elmore News Channle.
"Breaking news, the factions that have appeared in the town have become more violent. One particular faction is making themselves known. They call themselves The Plague. They have sent us a video message warning us about them. Take a look." The camera then changed to a group of people holding signs, molitov cocktails, bats, chains, guns and brass knuckles. They all wore shark teeth bandanas around their faces. A few of them stepped aside and a fox walked up to the camera. He wore camo clothing and had a different color shark teeth bandana.
'That must be the leader of The Plague.' Gumball thought to himself.
"Good evening, citizens of Elmore. We have kindly got together and made this wonderful message that I hope you all will take into consideration. Do not even think to cross us. Nor interfere with our jobs. We will execute you on the spot immediatly. Take example to these kind people." the fox smiled slyly and panned the camers to the left. A couple were tied together and gagged. They desperatly tried to escape the ropes, but it was no use. Their muffled cries became louder as the camera looked to them. One of the members walked up to them. The fox panned the camera back to him. A few seconds later, the sounds of gunshots could be heard. The fox smiled widely. "I hope that you will take note of this. And have a wonderful day." The camera blacked out and the ancor man was back.
"A disturbing message to the people of Elmore. The mayor has given an order that everyone, young and old to avoid the activity of these faction, all for your safety. This has been the Elmore News Channle." Gumball turned the TV off.
"Geez, I wonder what Flint and Steel would do?" Gumball said. Anais turned to him.
"Gumball! Don't even think for a second that this family is gonna let you take on those factions! You don't have Steel guiding you and lets face it, your practically worthless without him." she said. Gumball slumped.
"You didn't have to put it so harshly." Gumball muttered.
"Not only that! But a faction contains alot of people. It's like a living army!" Anais concluded. Gumball then laughed.
"Ahh, my dear little sister. You should know by now that it was me who stopped Tyrone from gaining all of Limbo's power. I stopped the attack of those things. I took down a god! A faction is no match for me." Gumball said proudly. Anais shook her head.
"Gumball, you did all of that with the help of them. THEY know how to fight. THEY have been learning to defend themselves since they were little. THEY practice the art of their people. YOU are just a normal boy. YOU just blow things off. THEY have helped YOU defeat the attack." Anais said.
"Yeah? well what about my sweet fighting moves?" Gumball got down and did poor excuses of fighting styles.
"That isn't fighting. That's just flailing your arms around like a complete idiot." Anais said. Gumball then sighed.
"If only I know how to fight with out the help of someone being in my head, I could accomplish anything. I can protect the bullied against the bullies. YOur right sis, I'm just a normal pre teen." Gumball slumped. Darwin patted his back.
"Don't worry dude. You just need to find a teacher that can help you with that." Darwin said. Gumball looked at him.
"It's almost as if you want me to take on the factions. That's the fourth time! You sure you are alright?" Gumball asked his friend as he put his hand on Darwin's forehead.
"i don't want you to take on the factions. If you want to defend yourself and others, you need to find a teacher that can help you learn cool moves. Come on, we will have a look around the safe part of town." Darwin said leading Gumball out the house.
