Hey TAWOG fans and I'm back with the second chapter of Cat of Steel this chapter will know take the story outside of Elmore and I will drop a lot facts and information so try to keep up with whats going on in the chapter

Know onto the story


"this will make Elmore burn"

"not as long as I'm here"

"wait Gumball there could be another way"

"I love you"

"No" a boy shouted as he shot up from his bed breathing heavily he looked around to take in his surroundings and noticed he was in his house

"Just a dream" he whispered "that's the fifth time this month" he stated as he started to get out of the bed

he then noticed that he was sweating really badly so much his blue fur had felt like he took an extended dive in a swimming pool he wobbly got out of bed trying to find his balance and started to head out of his room

'I've been having the same recurring dream for nearly two years' he thought in his head 'and it's always talking of the same place'

He walked into the restroom to take a look in the mirror he noticed the bed marks over his body but nothing more

he stopped and faced his reflection in the mirror looking it dead in the eye remebering his bizzar dream

"Gumball" he whispered "who is he" he looked around "or she and why do I feel like it's important to me" he looked at the palm of his hand releasing his claws he looked them over then retracting them

"Guess you'll have to find out" he started to make his way out of the restroom and down the stores of his house the old wood creaking under his feet as he walked down each step

once he reached the last step he started to make his way to the kitchen to find some food

while walking towards the kitchen he heard two people talking he peered in to see the two voices belong his adoptive parents

"I don't know what to say about him diana" the voice said

"come on cade you know he it would make him proud" another voice replied

"who are you talking about" the boy asked

the two looked up to see their adoptive son standing in the doorway

"oh zach I didn't notice you standing their"

he could never explain it for the life of him but he for some reason hated that name it felt wrong that he was using it but it all he could remember

"Sorry I barged in like that I was just curious" the boy known as zach replied

"that's alright" cade told him

from a distance zach took in the old wolf's appearance noticing how time was starting to catch up with him

"Me and diana here were just talking about are two little bundles of joy" cade told him

"what the twins do this time" zach asked other than him the other two kids in this house where twins Ruby and Roger they were more trouble bound than a cat at a fish party and he should know

Zach just laughed as he grabbed some cereal from the cabinet "come on they're causing you that much trouble"

"You don't know the half of it" cade told him while standing up he then turned on the nearby television which was playing the news

"Today we return to elmore city where they starting to begin the running for mayor" the newsman said " the confirmed men for the running are Gaylord Robison,Harold wilson,larry needlemeyer,and Felicity Parham"

the TV screen changes showing pictures of all of the running contenders 'why do I feel like I've meet them before' he takes a look at the contenders they all seem to have a familiar face

he looks at the man known as Harold and get a odd feeling of resentment as if he doesn't trust him

"there's something off about that man" zach says aloud

"who" cade asked the blue feline

"that Harold Wilson guy" Zach responds "I don't know why but I get a bad vibe from him"

Cade stroked his chin at the boy's statement "well I'll do some research on him while I'm at work" cade closed his newspaper and stood up from the table

"the job calling me in saying they found something in the arctic and they need me to see it" cade told them

"another find in the arctic" diana says surprised is it another nuclear war ship" she asked

"No it's not" cade told her "don't worry I'll be back in a couple of days" cade told her

he turned to zach "your bus from school will be here soon get dressed and go find the twins please"

Zach nodded "hey where are they anyway"

"Out in the fields" diana told him

Zach stood up from the table and took his bowl to the sink and washed it off "okay then I'll get going"

Zach then ran up the stairs to start getting dress removing his pajamas showing of the scar on his right hip

he stopped and traced his finger over it 'where did I get you' he asked in his head all he knew about it was that i was there when he arrived here

he stopped thinking about the scar and through his favorite sweater he could never explain why but he felt attached he then threw a black hood over it and headed out

"Cade,dian I'm heading out"After zach had left the house his mind began to wonder thinking about his real family and where they were and these dreams he's been having

"Elmore" zach whispered he had heard of it on the news it was attacked by a terrorist two years ago about as far as he can remember

He hated this other waking up in a field he has no other memories about his old life all he could remember was his name was zach and that's it

Zach was pulled out his thoughts when he heard an arrow tear through the wind he looked up to to see a arrow hit a tree near by Zach smiled knowing it was Roger practicing his aim

he ran over to see that his findings were correct and saw Roger with his trusty bow and arrow which was hand made

"hey Roger how ya doing" Zach shouted

the archer then turned to see his friend smiling at him from afar "wassup man"

he then let go of his arrow and it shot across the sky piercing the other arrow in half "yes finally" Roger shouted in pure joy

Zach had to admit Roger was good with a bow an arrow every time he he shot he would hit something almost to the point where he never missed

"where your sister the school bus is almost he-" zach was interrupted when he heard someone shouting

A mysterious figure landed between the two boys revealing herself to none other than Ruby herself "hey boys did you ring" she said in high voice

"No we didn't" Roger told her"But come on Zach needs to see his girlfriend" Roger teased

Zachs cheeks immediately turned red "oh shut up" he shouted at Roger as they started walking "your just mad cause I have a girlfriend"

"that's not true" Roger shoot back as he turned away huffing

"ladies ladies you're both beautiful know give a rest will ya" Ruby told the two "I mean does it really matter"

"Yes" the both of them said simutamsly

"I'll never understand boys" Ruby said as she held her head

They soon arrived to where the bus was waiting for them they quickly climbed on and the bus started moving

"be prepared Gumball everything is about change"

Zach stopped to see a mysterious figure standing in the distance looking at him with a cold glare in his eye's

"Hey Zach come on we need to find a seat" Ruby told him

"Yea it's just" Zach looked back to see the person was gone "nothing" Zach then fully climbed up the bus and looked around

Zach took a second to take it all in the bus was mostly quiet save for a few light conversations but other than that nothing really crazy was happening and that made him feel out of place

Zach walked down the Aisle to find his girlfriend sitting staring out of the window

"hey carrie" he said smiling

she turned to face him with a big smile on her face carrie wasn't like most kids she was born a ghost i was odd relationship but he just felt close to her

"So what you thinking about" Zach asked while sitting next to her

"Oh just a few thing from back home" she replied

"Oh" Zach turned away "what about it"

"oh nothing important just all the crazy things that happened there compared to out here" she told her boyfriend "I'll be honest sometimes I miss it just a little"

"Well I'm for one glad you're here" Zach said reassuring her "I couldn't imagine life without you"

Carrie turned away blushing "I couldn't imagine life without you either Gumball" she said in a whisper

"what" Zach asked

"Oh nothing" Carrie said waving her arms fract licly 'I can't believe I let that slip out' she thought in her head ' I Mean I know it's wrong but know I'll never have to worry about losing him'

The ride from there grew silent with a few conversations popping up every now and then as

ach turned behind him he saw Roger and Ruby talking almost if the they were having a disagreement which was surprising because they agreed on everything

"Hey Zach" Ruby asked from behind him

"yeah"

"Do you ever wonder if dad not telling us everth-" she interrupted when the buses tires blew out causing the bus to spin out of control and fall into the river

the Buses windows hen busted open as water began to fill the bus everyone started panicking as the bus driver attempted to open the doors but failed do water blocking the door

Ruby stood up trying to keep her head above the rising water "there's no way out" she shouted at the top off her lounges

"Where's zach" Carrie shouted

Roger placed his hand on the roof of the bus "where running out of room real quick"

All of the other kids were panicking on the bus as the all tried to find away off the bus

the water then soon reached the top off the bus consuming Ruby,Roger, and Carrie. they all began to struggle as their lungs started to run out of air

Roger grabbed his sister hand looking at for what might be there last time then by some miracle the bus started to move soon the front half of the bus was above the river on land

the Bus driver quickly opened the door causing water to drain out of the bus

When Ruby got her head out of the water she let in a big breath of air while coughing up some water "whats going on"as she quickly touched the ground again

Roger grabbed the seat and allowed himself to sit down "I don't know but I ain't questioning it"he said as all the kids quickly flooded out of the bus

Ruby turned her head and her eyes widen in shock as she say Zach outside of the end of the bus clearly out of breath

Zach let go of the bus falling back in the shallow part of the river the water splashing against his fur

"what happened" he asked quietly

later that day

the three children all sat huddled together in their house Ruby had her arms crossed and was shaking Roger was slowly rocking back and forth while Zach sat in the middle completely void of any emotion

Diana rushes in with three cups of hot chocolate "how you kids doing"

"where...doing fine mom" Ruby says between breaths

She hands them each a cup "I'm just glad you're alright" she said as she handed Roger his cup "when I heard what happened my heart almost stopped

"she turned towards Zach who was looking more spaced out by the second she was about to say something but was interrupted when her phone started to ring

"I'll be back just stay here and rest" Diana quickly left the room to answers the phone

Ruby straightened herself and looked at Zach who seemed as if had seen fifteen ghost in two minutes

"what happened" she whispered

There was a long silence between them before zach raised his head "I don't know" he said in a extremely low voice "all I know is when the bus hit the water I blanked out"

"Well thank you" Roger said putting a hand on his shoulder "you saved a bunch of lives"

Zach gave a weak smile as diana walked back into the room "your school says you have the rest of the week off" she told them "why don't all of go lay down know and let your body's rest"

the three nodded and started to head off to their respective rooms

Zach's mind still wonders to today's events that was the first time that has ever happened to him

"he's coming" a voice called out

"who's there" Zach quickly turned around to see the same man from before standing in his room Zach started to back up

"what are you" he asked trembling

the man said nothing as he walked to ach and placed his hand on his head "wait what are you-" Zach didn't finish his sentence as he blanked out to wake in a completely deserted area

Zach felt the sand going over his toes "where am I" Zach started to walk around destroyed buildings were everywhere "Roger" he shouted "Ruby"

No replay everything was quiet Zach turned to see a figure walking towards him "hey" Zach began frantically waving his arms

the figure took no mine to him and only keep walking

Zach ran up to him and waved in front of his face "hey do you know where everyone is"'the person stopped

Zach took a second to notice that he was wearing armor "hey what happen-" before Zack could finish the figure had stabbed Zachs mind then flashed he saw images of ships flying and people being killed

"No" Zach said backing up "no"

Zach fell back and opened his eyes to notice that he was back in his house and the stranger was gone

Zach looked out the window "what is going on"

miles away a figure is seen walking through the desert robes are seen covering their face as they travel leaving a trail of footprints

they came to a stop and fell to their knees letting out a breath of air looking up they saw a city in the distance

"finally" they said in a low voice

"I've found you brother"


And that is a Wrap

before I go let me clear up a few things I'm pretty sure you all guessed who zach really is I mean it's really or is he but the real question you should be asking is how second thing is Ruby and Roger will have big roles later on so don't count them out. and lastly my question to you is who do think are mysterious stranger is and what are their motives tell me what think in the commits and leave a like

Until next time
