They didn't really talk on their way to whatever destination they were going to. Marshall was leading through the trees, when suddenly he crouched down.
"What are you-"
"Shhh!" Gumball was cut off by Marshall, who grabbed his arm and brought him down next to him.
"What is it?" Gumball whispered. Marshall jabbed his finger towards something. Gumball followed the direction it was pointing in, and saw a huge dragon monster. It was blue and red with green and blue wings, with harsh yellow eyes. He was terrorizing a group of candy kids.
"CAAAANNNDYYYYY!" it screamed.
"Help, please help us!" the children cried.
"This is perfect!" Marshall whispered excitedly.
'This is horrible!' Gumball thought.
"Come on! Let's fight it!" Marshall exclaimed excitedly.
"Are you crazy?!" Gumball all but shrieked. Marshall turned and looked at him with huge eyes.
"Of course not! Come on, we could fight this thing! And besides, we would be helping those kids. It would be a great part of our adventure."
Gumball could see the eagerness in Marshall's eyes, and once again agreed to do the crazy. "Okay."
Just like the last time, Marshall was ready to go. "Awesome!" he yelled while running towards the monster. Gumball sighed, and trotted after him.
"Hey! Big, bald, and ugly!"
'Man, does he have nerves!' Gumball thought.
The dragon monster looked down at Marshall and just stared at him. Then, he turned his attention back to the kids.
"Hey! I wasn't finished talking to you!" Marshall looked flabbergasted. Gumball could tell that he wasn't used to just being ignored.
Once again, the monster looked down at him. Only this time, he breathed fire at him. "That's more like it! " He pulled out a gray bug and crushed it, and it turned into a long, dull gray sword. He pulled out another one, only it was blue, and tossed it at Gumball, who caught it. "Sorry it can't be pink, Gummy bear," he smiled with a wink. "But there are other colors than it," he said as he ran off to fight.
Gumball crushed the bug as well, and it also turned into a sword. He studied it for a minute, before deciding to test it out. He put it up to a tree and ran the tip of the blade horizontal of its trunk. When he did, it felt like cutting warm butter -easy to a fault- and left a huge gash in the bark. 'Wow.'
He looked over to Marshall, who was just running around, stabbing the monster in random places. 'Idiot' he thought.
As if Marshall could read minds, he snapped his gaze over to Gumball. "Are you coming?" he demanded.
Marshall's eyes widened when they saw Gumball start running. He ran past Marshal Lee, past the kids, past the monster, straight towards a tree. "Stop! Are you blind?!" he screamed.
But now, to Marshall's surprise, Gumball started to run up the tree. He ran fast, almost to the top. He reached a large branch, jumped up,and ran across it, towards the monster. Everyone just stared, awestruck by the prince's amazing capability.
He jumped off the branch, sword raised over his head. Marshall could only blink, amazed by Gumball's calmness, strength, and grace.
When he got in reach with the monster, Gumball struck it in the neck, copping its head off. Before the head could even hit the ground, it vanished into nothing more than dark smoke, which rose upward to the sun. Soon after, its body did the same.
"Yay! Thank you so much!" the children yelled their thanks to Gumball and Marshall Lee.
"Wow. Who knew you were so strong, Gummy bear? That was so hot. I think I'll need you to protect me the rest of the way." Marshall Lee teased with a wink.
Gumball blushed from his regular pink to a deep red. "S-shut up. Its standard training that I have to know."
Marshall Lee whistled like he had seen a hot girl. "That was smokin' babe."
"Whatever. Let's just go to Tree Trunks' house for some apples. I'm hungry." Still blushing redder than roses, Gumball headed in the direction of Tree Trunks' house with Marshall Lee in tow.
