Hey guys It's me Sunblast X and welcome to chapter 2 of: The Ninja.

Later that night Gumball heard a mysterious voice in his head that told him he could change his destiny. What will happen in his dream? Find out today on Chapter 2: Secrets Revealed.
-Gumball's Dream-
"Hello? Anybody here?"Gumball shouted, but no one was around. It was dark. That is, until a flash of light appeared before Gumball. And in the light was a giant dragon. "What the-?"Gumball said, not believing a dragon was right in front of him.
"Hello, Gumball Watterson" The dragon spoke. The dragon was blue with green eyes, a white underbelly, had a white beard, flowing white hair, and white scales running down his back. He had strong body, four legs, and a set of powerful wings.
"Who are you? What are you?" Gumball asked.
"I am Kaminari: the dragon of thunder" the dragon known as Kaminari spoke.
"Whoa!" Gumball said in astonishment. "So why did want me to come here?" he asked, not knowing why he was talking to a dragon.
"You wish to change your destiny, correct?" Kaminari asked. Gumball nodded. "I brought you here to help you do just that. I've been watching you young one. Since you were born, I knew you'd have the potential to become one chosen few to save the world" Kaminari said.
"Save the world? From what?"Gumball asked.
"From… my brother, Shi Ryu: the dragon of death and shadow" Kaminari. "He plans to assemble an army of dark warriors and plague the world into eternal darkness" he explained.
" What?! Then how am I supposed stop him?" Gumball asked, unsure how he's supposed to save the world.
"By accepting your role as: The Ninja of Thunder" Kaminari said.
"A Ninja? That… is… AWESOME!"Gumball said, excited to become a ninja.
"Indeed it is. And you won't be alone, for there are two more ninjas aside from you. In fact you know them quite well" Kaminari said.
"Who?"Gumball asked in curious tone with a raised eyebrow.
"You will know when the time is right. For now, take this" Kaminari said. His eyes began to glow white. Then a bolt of lightning came down and struck Gumball, but it didn't hurt. "There, I now bestow upon you the powers of the Ninja of Thunder" he said. Gumball looked at his hands. He looked the same, but on the inside he felt… different, somehow.
"Hey, don't I get a cool ninja outfit or something?" Gumball asked.
"Not until you learn how to unlock the powers of thunder" Kaminari responded. Gumball understood with a nod. "Now go! Go and save your world from the threat that is Shi Ryu!" Kaminari said. His body began to glow brighter and brighter and engulfed Gumball's dream and Gumball himself in it.
-Back in the real world-
Gumball woke up and quickly sat up on his bed. He was breathing hard until he looked at his right hand and saw electricity flow around it.
"So it wasn't just a dream after all" he said to himself. He turned his head to the right and noticed it was morning. Gumball then got out of his bed and headed straight for the bathroom. After he used the toilet and brushed his teeth, he then splashed some water on his face to wake himself up. When he dried himself off with a towel, he looked at himself in the mirror and noticed all of scratches and bruises were healed. Even his black eye was gone. He touched his face to see if it was real. And it was. Was this because of Kaminari? Or was it because of the powers of thunder? Either way, he liked it. He then walked downstairs to go get some breakfast. He had his usual breakfast of daisy flakes. He was enjoying his breakfast. That is… until his mom and sister came in.
"*yawn* morning honey" Nicole greeted him. Gumball just rolled his eyes at her greeting, thinking she didn't actually care if he was there.
"So what are you gonna do today?" His sister asked. Gumball just sighed while lowering and shaking his head.
"That is none of your concern. What I did is my business and none of yours" Gumball said. His mom gave him a worried stare. Gumball turned and noticed this. "What?" he asked his mom.
"N-Nothing" she said.
"Whatever" Gumball started, and then gulped down the rest of his milk. "I'm going to school" he stated then walked out the door with his backpack over one shoulder. Even though the door was closed his sister and mom gave him worried looks.
-On the way to school-
Gumball had decided to walk to school today. He wanted to walk today so he can clear him mind of his mom and sister. But other than that he had something else on his mind. How was he going save the world? How was he gonna unlock his powers of thunder? And… who are the other two ninjas? These questions were surging through Gumball's mind until heard someone call his name.
"Hey Gumball!" the voice said again. He turned around and saw who it was.
"Lexy? What are you doing here?" Gumball asked. She walked up to him with a smile.
"I saw you and thought I'd walk with you to school" she said.
"Oh, well that's nice of you" Gumball said. Lexy gave of him a warm smile. "You know, know that think about it, you kind of remind me of my mom. You really look a lot like her" Gumball said to her.
"Oh, well I'm sure you mother's a nice lady" Lexy said.
"Yeah right, my mom's a bitch" Gumball replied to her statement.
"Oh come on, Gumball. I'm she can't be that-" Lexy's conversation with Gumball was cut short when they heard the sound of a woman screaming. They ran to where the screaming was coming from and saw a woman being attacked by a group of shadows. The shadows turned around and noticed the two felines. "What the- are they shadows" Lexy asked preparing for fight.
"Damn it! They must be part of dark army Kaminari told me about" Gumball said to himself in his head. Gumball motioned his head outward to tell the lady to run. She took his hint and ran.
"Double-team?" Lexy asked Gumball.
"You're on" Gumball said. The two charged at the group of shadows. Gumball ducked under a punch then kicked the shadow in the stomach, causing it to fall into other shadows. Lexy preformed a midair spin kick multiple enemies in the faces. Blow after blow was exchanged. They were doing pretty well until more started showing up. They just kept fighting and fighting, and they were starting to get exhausted. "What are we gonna do? There's too many!" Gumball said while holding back as many shadows as he could.
"Hiya!" they heard. Then a saw someone fall from midair and kick one of the shadows in the head, and then stomp on it. The figure then looked over his shoulder to see the two felines. "Hey guys, what's up?" the figure said.
"Blast! You made it" Lexy said, running up to him and giving him hug. He hugged her back.
"Yeah, glad you could join the party" Gumball said, walking up to him. Blast let go of Lexy.
"I was doing some free running, when I saw a woman running for her life. I figured I could check it out and see what was going on" Blast explained.
"Glad you came when you did. We can use all the help we can get" Gumball said.
"Right! Now let's do this" Blast said. The three of them each attack the group of shadows. With Blast helping out they made quick work of the shadows. When they were defeated they vanished into black smoke. The three smiled at each other
-Back to walking to school-
"I'm telling that was easier than thought it was" Blast commented, walking on the right.
"That's easy for you to say. You already had energy when you started fighting"Gumball said, walking on the left.
"Now boys, there's no need to be fighting with each other. We should be happy that we made it out of there alive" Lexy advised, walking in the middle of the two boys. She then noticed Gumball was looking away. "Hey Gumball, what's up?" Lexy asked.
"Huh? Oh, nothing" Gumball said. "It's just…" he started.
"Just what?" she asked.
"Well… I had this dream last night" Gumball said.
"What kind of dream?" Blast asked.
"…Well… it was about—" Gumball was cut off when he heard the school bell ring. "Oh shit! We're late!" Gumball said in a worried tone. The school was about two blocks away.
"Don't worry, we'll make it" Lexy said.
-In Miss. Simian's class-
The three friends were running as fast as they could, when they barged into Simian's room.
"Well, well, well, look who decided to show up" Simian said in an annoyed tone.
"But Miss. Simian, we—"
"I don't want to hear it! The three of you, to detention, NOW!" Simian shouted, cutting Gumball off.
"Aw, crap!" the three of them said in unison.
-In the detention room-
"I can't believe that bitch gave us detention! Can you believe it?!" Blast said in a pissed off tone with his arms crossed.
"Still think she's 'not that bad', Lexy?" Gumball said to Lexy with his arms also crossed, turning his head to her since she was on the right of him.
"Hell no! That bitch needs to go down!" Lexy said with an angry expression, her arms crossed as and Gumball gave her raised eyebrows. The two boys turned their heads to each other with the same expression they gave Lexy. Blast being on the left of Gumball.
"Great! It's not even lunchtime and already my day has turned into complete shit!" Gumball thought in his head. The bell then rang to dismiss the students for lunch.
"Well it's about freaking time!" Blast exclaimed.
-At the cafeteria-
The trio was sitting at their usual table for lunch. They were eating BBQ pork sandwiches… well, Gumball and Blast were anyway. Lexy was eating a turkey sandwich with, lettuce and tomato on white bread. Lexy swallowed a piece of her sandwich and asked Gumball something.
"So, Gumball" she started. "What was the dream you were telling us about?" she asked. Gumball swallowed some of his sandwich as well and began to speak.
"Well" he started. "I don't think you guys will believe me, but… there was a giant thunder dragon" he said.
"A dragon?"Lexy and Blast said simultaneously, tilting their heads to the left in confusion.
"Yeah, it's nothing important" he replied. Blast and Lexy looked at each other with confusion, but accepted their friend's response.
"If you say so" Lexy said.
"Yeah, whatever you say" Blast agreed. Gumball thanked them and they continued their lunch.
-In the hallways-
The three friends were walking in the hallways, saying nothing. Until Gumball brought something up.
"…Hey guys" Gumball spoke up. Blast and Lexy turned around to face him.
"Yeah?"Lexy said.
"What's up, dude?" Blast added.
"…I was wondering, if you aren't too busy" Gumball started. "If guys wanted to come to my house and hangout after school" he offered.
"Sure, that sounds nice" Lexy accepted.
"Yeah, it'll be fun to hang out with you after school for once" Blast accepted as well. Gumball smiled at their statements.
"Then it's a plan, we hangout at my house after school" Gumball announced.
"Yeah!" all three of them said in unison, high fiving in the middle.
-At the Watterson house-
School had just led out, and Gumball had brought his friends over to hangout. Gumball opened the door and welcomed them inside.
"Well guys. Welcome to the Watterson house" Gumball said, motioning his hand to the house.
"Whoa! Nice" Blast said.
"It's beautiful" Lexy said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Gumball said, rolling his eyes. Just then Gumball's mother showed up.
"Hi sweetheart" Nicole greeted Gumball. "Who are your friends?" she asked, noticing the pink cat and gray wolf standing on both sides of her son.
"…Well… this is Blast" He said motioning to Blast, the gray wolf. "…and this is Lexy" Gumball said motioning to Lexy, the pink female cat. They both waved hi to his mom. "Guys, this is my… mother, Nicole" Gumball said in hesitation, rolling his eyes and emphasizing the word "Mother", as if he didn't want her to be there, which he didn't.
"It's so nice to meet you" Nicole said, reaching out and shaking their hands. "…Lexy, you know… you look a lot like me when I was your age" Nicole said, noticing how Gumball's friend closely resembled her when she was 12 years old.
"Thanks, I—"
"No one cares" Gumball interrupted, not caring that Lexy looked like his mother.
"…Right, I'll just… go make dinner" Nicole said, feeling a little awkward at this point. She then walked back into the kitchen.
"Gumball, don't you think that was kind of mean?" Lexy asked.
"Whatever, let's just play some video games" Gumball responded.
-An hour later-
The three friends were playing video games. Gumball pressed pause and had decided they should take a break to relax.
"Well that was fun" Lexy said.
"Yep" Gumball said, stretching his arms above his head.
"Sure was" Blast said, popping his knuckles.
"Kid's, time for dinner!" Gumball's mom shouted from the kitchen.
"Guess that's our cue" Blast said. They hopped off the couch and headed towards the kitchen for dinner.
-At the dinner table-
The family (and Blast and Lexy) were having burgers for dinner.
"So tell me. How did you three meet?" Nicole asked Gumball's friends.
"It's funny actually" Blast started. "We were in school, walking down the hallway, minding our own business" he said.
"When we saw this rainbow kid named Tobias push Gumball into his locker" Lexy stated.
"And then at some point during lunch we saved his ass from getting his ass kicked by Tobias" Blast said.
"Oh my gosh!" Nicole said, putting her hands in front of her mouth. "Gumball honey, are you alright?" she asked worriedly, trying to place her right hand on his shoulder but he quickly slapped it away, not wanting her to touch him.
"I'm fine!" Gumball said coldly. He then quickly devoured his burger, swallowed it, and headed for his room. Blast and Lexy did the same and followed him.
"We'll go talk to him" Blast said to Nicole, following Lexy. But before he did he grabbed another burger and resumed following her. They walked upstairs to Gumball's room.
-Gumball's room-
Blast and Lexy opened the door to Gumball's room and noticed him lying on his bed with his arms crossed and having an annoyed, irritated expression.
"Gumball" Lexy said.
"Dude, what's up? What's your beef with your mom?" Blast asked. Gumball turned his head to them.
"You wanna know what's up?" Gumball asked then sat up in anger. "You wanna know what's up?!" Gumball yelled. "It's my mom, that's what's up!" he said.
"What do you mean?" Lexy asked. Gumball sighed.
"… Ever since my sister was born… I've been on my own" Gumball started. "Before she came, my mom and I used to be together all the time" he continued. "But when I was 8 and my sister was born… she started ignoring me and spending all of her time with her. And to make things worse, my sisters a fucking genius. So know she's been ignoring me even more. Ever since she was born I've been both mentally and emotionally alone. Sometimes I think… she doesn't even care about me or love me anymore" Gumball said, placing his head in his knees. His friends sat on both sides of the bed.
"It's ok Gumball. We're here for you" Lexy said, rubbing his back to comfort him. "I'm sure deep down inside she loves you" Lexy said.
"Yeah, tell that to my childhood" Gumball said. Blast and Lexy looked outside and noticed the sun was setting.
"We'd better get going" Lexy said.
"Yeah, it's getting late" Blast said. "See ya tomorrow, bro" he said, leaving Gumball's room and finishing off his burger. Lexy gave Gumball a sympathetic look.
"Trust me, she loves you. I know it" Lexy said, and then placed a kiss on his cheek. She then left his room as well, leaving him to sigh.
-Outside-
"I can't believe Gumball's mother hasn't spent time with him in four years" Blast said.
"I'm sure she just wants to make sure he daughter keeps up her smarts" Lexy said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right" Blast said.
"Thanks. You're such a good friend to Gumball" Lexy said, placing her hand on his shoulder and kissed his cheek as well… except Blast blushed when she did it to him. She walked ahead of him. Blast his hand where Lexy kissed him.
"Yeah…" Blast said then looked back at Gumball's house where his room was and chuckled. "Guess I am" He turned back and ran after Lexy.
