AN: This chapter marks the starts of the Second season. While the previous chapter was more of an Emotional Roller coaster with all the drama and stuff like that, this chapter is Action packed Super Powered fights and musical adventures.
Basically this chapter is the opposite of the previous chapter. And there is also an epic fight between the Watterson for the remote (Nothing Serious Really)
The Remote and The Powers
Gumball, Darwin, and Anais just woke up from their bed and heading straight towards the dining table for breakfast. They all have dark rings under their eyes, the adventures across the galaxy and into the past are more than enough to make them forgot about the time.
It was 03:00 a.m. when they get back home and they are dead tired. It didn`t help that Nicole tried to prank them by making them think that yesterday was just a dream.
She made it so convincing that it took them half hour just trying to prove her wrong. And now they all sat together on the dining table, eating a bowl of cereal while thinking about how this day is going to be.
"Mom, where is grandpa?" Gumball asked sleepily. He already looked all around the house searching for him. But all he found was IPO still sleeping inside the computer and The Ship of Imagination parked outside the house.
"He`s still asleep in the RAM and no kids, if you don`t want to piss him off for real, DO NOT woke him up." Nicole replied, making herself a cup of coffee.
"What`s a RAM? And what happen if we piss him off, I mean he`s nice guy." Gumball asked. Still not believing his mother and wanting to meet his grandpa.
"Kids, have you ever wondered why Elmore is surrounded by large body of water? And the only access to this place is by the bridge?" Nicole said, as if telling them a horror story.
"Continental drift?" Anais said. "Global warming?" Darwin said. "Mrs. Simian does something stupid?" Gumball said, getting some skeptical look from everyone.
"Yes Gumball, you are right. She visited our house and called me a loser. Your grandpa was still sleeping and he has no idea about the ape. Then she sneaks up behind my father and violently woke him up. The result was… Catastrophic." Nicole said, hoping that they get the hint and won`t even try to woke him up.
"So, if there is one thing that will turn grandpa into someone like you mom, is disturbing his sleep." Anais said, understanding the situation.
"I just hope he can see us finally get recognition we deserve." Gumball said, suddenly remembering something.
"TV is finally gonna acknowledge our existence!" Darwin said excitedly. "What are you talking about?" Anais asked.
"Tonight, only in 'Cutie Pets'…" Darwin started. "The #1 pet show TV" Gumball continued. "They`re going to show this photo!" Darwin said holding up a picture.
Nicole and Anais took a closer look at the photo. It is a photo of Gumball and Darwin running in the rain with Darwin in a leash with puppy eyes. "Pets? Just last night you sang about wanting a family to accept you!" Anais asked in confusion.
"I don`t care about what public think about us! We`re on TV, that`s more important!" Darwin replied, still looking at the photo.
"I`m pretty excited too! 'Win or Don`t Win' is calling tonight, all I have to do is answer one question and I`ll win a new microwave." Nicole said, she too looking forward for tonight.
"What`s wrong with our microwave?" Gumball asked. Then Nicole places a flower in front of microwave. The flower burns and shrivels into ashes.
"It`s more radioactive than that watch of yours Gumball and yes, it`s nuclear powered." Nicole said, looking Gumball`s watch.
"The microwave or the watch?" Gumball asked, hoping that she referred the microwave and not the watch that`s radioactive.
"Both the microwave and your watch is nuclear powered." Nicole replied utterly.
"I was afraid you`re gonna said that…" Gumball said, trying and failing to take off his watch once again. "I can`t open this thing can`t I?" Gumball asked lowering his head.
"Nope, it will stick to your hand for the rest of your life." Nicole replied cheerfully. "That`s what you get for playing with Aperture Technology." She added before sitting on the dining table.
"Well, I`m excited too, I can`t wait to watch Daisy tonight. You`re going to meet Sally the snake aren`t you Daisy?" Anais said, picking her doll and start playing with her.
"Ahh, I can`t wait till 8:00 pm." They all said at the same time.
They all looked at each other in an awkward silence after suddenly realizing the situation they`re all in. "Well then I guess it`s whoever gets to the remote first!" Gumball said.
Then the whole family starts eating their breakfast vigorously. All of them want to be the first person to touch the remote. A few seconds later they all ran to the sofa. They are all in so much of a hurry that none of them have the chance to use their powers.
But when they get there, they saw Richard sitting on the sofa with a blanket and dark spot under his eyes. "Upupupupup! I`ve been up all night saving my seat for… El gran final de La Casa de las Lagrimas… and just to make sure no one changes the channel, I`ve hidden the remote! Ahaha" Richard said before promptly fell asleep.
Subsequently everyone exploded in an argument, explaining why they should get to watch TV. "Can I please watch Daisy the Donkey?" Anais asked, hoping her power of adorability could stop them.
"NO!" Everybody yelled at the same time. They starts arguing once again, soon the argument turned into a fight.
"This face was made for TV!" Darwin yelled, chaining Nicole using the Force. He struggles to keep her immobile but Nicole is much stronger than all of The Force in Elmore combined.
Nicole broke through the Force and lunged at Darwin. He tried to block her with the Lightsaber, but her claws are stronger than steel.
Darwin watched in fright as Nicole closed in, but he suddenly fell through the floor and appeared beside Gumball. He saw a portal suddenly closed right behind him.
Gumball turned his portal gun into a gravity gun. He pressed the trigger and Nicole is blown off to the other side of the living room. "I don`t want to grow a third arm next time I make a cup of coffee." Nicole said, bringing up her own Lightsaber.
She lunged at them; the Force behind her attack is so strong that they all could see afterimages behind her. "Darwin on three, THREE!" Gumball yelled as he and Darwin sidestepped and jumped away.
Gumball turned his Gravity Gun back into a Portal Gun. Then he shot a blue portal outside the window and an orange portal right in front of Nicole. Caught off guard, Nicole fell into the portal and appeared inside Mr. Robinson`s house.
Meanwhile Anais is staring at her family in shock. She tried to find a way to stop them before they destroy the house. After a few moments of thinking she found a great idea.
She carefully as ever snuck to the stairs, avoiding the Lightsabers and Bullets. Finally she is upstairs, she quietly snuck into Gumball`s room. When she`s inside, she turned on the computers monitor.
There on the monitor, she saw IPO eating a bowl of Mac n Cheese. IPO looked at Anais for a few seconds before saying. "Sure I`ll be there, just a minute."
"No, I need you to stop everyone from destroying the house. Mom, Gumball, and Darwin are fighting each other. I saw Gumball put real bullets inside the Sentry Turret, you have to stop them!" Anais said, describing the chaos that happens in the living room.
"Give me a moment." IPO said. She ate her breakfast and took out a little orb from her pocket. Then the orb glows brightly for a few seconds. When it dies down, IPO is standing in front of the computer.
IPO straightened her tie and her glasses. Then she holds up her hands and smashes it to the floor beneath her.
"You know, your mom is going to kill me for doing this, but this is the only way for me to stop Gumball and Darwin." IPO said as her body vibrates and slowly distorts.
"Gumball and Darwin? What about mom?" Anais asked.
"Have you ever tried to stop a natural disaster?" IPO asked flatly. "No, that`s impossible." Anais replied. "My point exactly." IPO said, before concentrating on the floor beneath her.
Slowly but surely, the whole building vibrates. Like a giant earthquake is happening in Elmore, the floor starts to flip and twist like water. The walls are crumbling and suddenly replaced by grey panels.
Aperture Science logo appeared on all of the furniture in Gumballs room, from the cabinets, door, computer, and even the bed itself. The furniture also changes colors. The wooden furniture turned white grey while the other furniture turned metallic silver.
Now the whole room looks like a high tech facility. The walls are pure white, while the furniture is white grey. There seems to be nothing in the room that doesn`t have an Aperture Science logo on it.
And this happens to the whole house…
"Yup, your mom is going to kill me. Now this house is 100 times stronger than before. The only thing that can destroy this house is probably Bruce if some idiot woke him up and your mom if she lost control." IPO said, walking out of Gumball`s room.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." IPO said. Then she clapped her hands twice and the walls and furniture illuminated in a bright light and changed colors to how it supposed to be.
"There, no one will notice the difference." IPO said after camouflaging the house back to how it supposed to be.
"But you just changed the color back!" Anais said pointing at the flickering walls. "I don`t care, I just need to stop Gumball and Darwin from destroying this newly improved house." IPO said, walking down the stairs to the chaos below.
When she gets to the living room, she saw Darwin and Nicole fighting each other using Lightsabers and Gumball holding a Portal Gun to assist Darwin for a quick escape.
But the most amazing thing is: Richard is still sleeping peacefully on the sofa. Somehow avoiding the Bullets from turret and Darwin`s Lightsaber every time Nicole knock it off of his hands.
"ENOUGH!" IPO yelled. She raised her hands and suddenly the floors below Gumball and Darwin turned in to panels.
The panels rose from the floor, with mechanical arms to support and rearrange it. The panels tilted and caged Gumball and Darwin in a small box shaped confinement with an opening on top.
Instinctively, Darwin grabbed Gumball`s hand and jumped upwards to escape the box. But suddenly the ceilings above them turned into panels too and push them back in to the confine, effectively locked them away in a tight box panel.
"Hey! Let us go! It`s cramped here." Came Gumball and Darwin`s muffled voices from inside the box.
"Not until you promise me not to destroy the house!" IPO snapped. She tapped her foot on the floor while impatiently waiting for a response.
"Fine, we promise not to destroy the house. But we still want the remote!" Gumball said from the box. "Yes IPO, would you please let us out now?" Darwin`s pleading voice followed.
"All right, I`ll let you go." IPO said, relenting. She waved her arms and the panels slowly pull back to the floor and changed color into the floor itself.
Meanwhile Nicole is staring at IPO in colorful arrays of emotions.
She felt angry for what IPO has done with her house. Then she felt happy when IPO managed to calm Gumball and Darwin. Then she felt guilty for fighting her own children in the living room. Lastly she felt thankful for IPO to make sure that she doesn`t have to do any repairs for the house ever again.
Then she remembered Bruce`s advice in dealing with conflicting emotions. "Remember kitten, if you have a conflicting emotions all you have to do is: Act with your negative emotions and think with your positive emotions." Her father`s words echoed inside her head.
"IPO! Did you just turn MY HOME into something like that trice damned Enrichment Center? YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE YOUNG LADY!" Nicole ranted angrily while feeling like there is a huge weight lifted from her shoulders.
"But, I have no choice but to use my powers to stop them." IPO tried to say. She looked behind her for Gumball and Darwin, only to find them escaping through a portal. Gumball winked at her before closing up the portal.
"No excuses! You have to face the consequences of your actions, and for permanently turning my home in to a high tech facility. You will have to say goodbye to your freedom, because tomorrow you will be enrolled into the Elmore Junior High School!" Nicole said sternly, while IPO just stared at her with a shocked expression on her face.
"Wh-What?! You`re sending me to a school!" IPO said in disbelief. She really has no idea how to feel right now. She is not angry that Nicole is going to send her to school. It`s just that, with all the homeschooling from her mother and grandmother, there seems to be nothing to learn in there.
"Yes, you will." Nicole replied sternly with the same angry expression on her face. Then she leaned in and whispered. "Trust me, you will not regret it. Subjects is not the only thing you`ll find in there." Nicole smiled mysteriously after she said that and walked away, leaving IPO with her thoughts.
IPO couldn`t help but think about what Nicole just said. She found a hidden message behind her aunt`s words and she couldn`t help but feeling a little bit intrigued.
"Elmore Junior High huh? That`s interesting, very interesting. I wonder if it is another abnormal place or a common school. I wonder…" IPO said, before she starts using her control over the house to clean it up.
Meanwhile Gumball and Darwin are playing some games outside the house. They both are feeling very proud of themselves for escaping IPO and Nicole`s wrath.
"Gumball, I`ve been thinking. What if we just buy another TV? Then we will have our own TV and we don`t need to have another death match just for a remote." Darwin said, not thinking about how expensive a TV is.
"Hmm that`s a good idea, but we don`t have any money to buy a TV. How much does a TV cost anyway?" Gumball replied, thinking about how to make some money.
"I don`t know, a hundred dollars maybe? Why don`t we make a new one?" Darwin said. "That`s a better idea. Come on let`s go to the junkyard." Gumball said, turning his watch into a Portal Gun.
Parody song of: Adventure Time, Finding Home song.
So there they go
Set out to make a TV
It`s gonna be though
For a cat and a fish on their own
Gumball and Darwin travels through the junkyard, looking for any parts to be used to make a TV. Suddenly they both saw a mountain of scraps with a broken TV on top of it.
Here`s a mountain of scraps
Aw, they both trying to climb it
Be quiet and not to loud
Or a scrapalanche might happen
Gumball accidentally step on a nail and yelled in agony. Darwin tried to stop him from screaming out loud, but it`s too late. The scrap mountain shook and hundreds of old metal scraps came rolling down from above.
And now they`re looking inside of an old car
And thinking about the car radio for the signal
Unless they find something else inside
Like a scary dog and an old homeless man
Gumball and Darwin are running from a scary dog and a homeless cranky old man. Gumball tried to blow them away with a Gravity Gun, but they just keep running after them. Not knowing what to do, Gumball and Darwin tried to find a place to hide.
A hangar oh nooooooo!
Don`t step inside that place guy
Y'all remember the Rexes
And Mr. Rex eats trespassers
Gumball and Darwin walked inside The Rexes hangar. In there they saw a silhouette of a giant T-Rex staring down at them menacingly. They ran away in fright with a giant Godzilla like T-Rex chasing them around.
Big RV, go inside
Look around, it seems alright
A turtle jumps out and snarls at them
Snapping around for a bite and foods
Gumball and Darwin looked at the turtle in fear, Darwin tried to destroy the turtle with his Lightsaber, but it seems to be partially invincible. The Lightsaber have no effect on it.
You know you should have stayed
And fought for the remote
But IPO was super scary
And Nicole is just overkill
Gumball and Darwin are picking up scraps and old wires to make a TV. But nothing worked, they`ve tried everything and the TV doesn`t do anything. The best they can do is making a giant explosion.
Which is understandable
`Cause girls are really powerful
They`re unreasonable
And burnt out on dealing with boys
Finally Gumball and Darwin had enough and sadly went back home. They both have tried everything and even someone as persistent as Gumball and Darwin do have a limit.
Oh, Nicole,
Why are you so mean?
Nicole: I`m not mean, I`m a working mother
And I need microwave for my coffee
An image of Nicole sitting on the sofa while watching TV with an evil smile on her face popped into Gumball and Darwin`s head.
Oh, IPO
Why did you stop these guys in their fight?
IPO: I have to
The home insurance does not cover everything
An image of IPO and Nicole wearing black suit and shades talking together in a dark room with Nicole giving IPO a briefcase full of money appeared inside Gumball and Darwin`s head.
So there go our boys
Walkin` back to their home
Headin` back in defeat
I`m sure they`ll figure something out.
It is 3 p.m. and only five hours left before the show started. Gumball and Darwin made it back to their home in defeat. Their heads are lowered and their faces are full of bruises.
"Darwin, maybe making our own TV is not a good idea." Gumball said, dropping down in exhaustion in the front yard. "You`re right, this is the third time I grow my legs." Darwin said, looking at his wrinkled and broken down legs before pulling it out and grow another.
"Let`s get in the house and look for something to eat." Gumball said, staggering together with Darwin into the house. "I hope Mrs. Mom cooked something delicious." Darwin said, walking with his newly grown legs.
When they`re in the house they saw Richard still sleeping on the couch while Nicole is nowhere to be seen. They also saw IPO sitting beside Richard while watching the TV.
"Hey IPO, where`s mom, we`re hungry." Gumball asked, looking around for any signs of her. "She went to the Butt Valley, I think she`s on her way here. If you`re hungry, there`s a few sausage in the fridge." IPO replied, watching the Elmore news channel.
"But if they`re in the fridge, they are frozen." Darwin said. "Aren`t you going to cook it for us?" Gumball asked.
"Well I could use one of the mechanical arms in this house to put the sausages into the radioactive microwave and use my control over all electronic equipment in this house to cook it." IPO said, while Gumball and Darwin is staring at her with stars in their eyes.
"You can do that!" They both said in amazement.
"Sure, but your mom told me not to." IPO replied, smirking evilly while Gumball and Darwin have a crushed expression on their face.
"But why?" Gumball and Darwin said childishly with wide eyes and quivering mouth, a perfect puppy dog eyes.
"So you both will know how using a radioactive microwave felt like." IPO replied, not bothered by the puppy dog eyes.
"You both can stop with the puppy dog eyes. I`m the daughter of one of the coldest being in the universe so don`t expect those eyes to work with me." IPO said, getting annoyed by their persistence.
They both just lowered their head sadly before walking into the kitchen. Gumball opened the fridge while Darwin heated the microwave.
Gumball turned his watch into a gravity gun to put the sausages into the microwave, while Darwin used the force to turn it on.
They both watched in silence as the sausage slowly heated up. "Hmm, that wasn`t so bad, actually that was pretty easy. I think mom was just exaggerating, there is actually nothing to worry about." Gumball said confidently.
"Uh, Gumball… is that supposed to happen?" Darwin said nervously, pointing at the microwave.
Gumball watched in horror as the five sausages he put inside the microwave slowly mutates. First, a pair of eyes appeared on their faces. Then a mouth with disgusting grease and fangs appeared on their faces. After that 5 tentacles appeared on their lower body.
One of the sausages rose from the microwave and punched the microwave glass open. The other soon followed behind it.
Gumball and Darwin could hear the sound of moaning from the sausages. They really didn`t expect this to happen, the radioactive microwave have turned the sausages into mutants.
"Gumball…" Darwin said. "Yes Darwin?" Gumball replied. "I`m scared, those things look hungry and I don't think we`re the one who`s going to eat them." Darwin said stepping back and hid behind Gumball.
"Darwin, remember what mom said? Sometimes in life you have to face the consequences of your actions. But sometimes you just have to… RUN!" Gumball said before running back to the door with Darwin following from behind.
But suddenly the door closed by itself, Gumball tried to use the gravity gun to open it. But the door wouldn`t budge, it just stayed still as if it was made out of steel rather than woods.
Darwin tried to use the force, but it has no effect on the door. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP US!" They both yelled in fright.
Gumball and Darwin looked at the Sausage Monsters behind them. Now they are as tall as Gumball and Darwin, and they have very thick and long tentacles for it legs. They also spits out boiling grease from their mouth, while using their thick muscled arms to destroy things.
"Darwin! I need you to hold them off, while I try to find the way out!" Gumball said, before turning his watch into a Sentry Turret. "Here, the Sentry Turret should help you. It has real bullets inside it so be careful." Gumball said while putting the Sentry Turret between them and the sausage monsters.
Darwin said nothing; he just nodded at Gumball while activating his Lightsaber. He raised his Light saber high in the air and start slashing them in high speed.
One of the Sausage Monsters spits out a lot of boiling hot oil from its mouth. Darwin dodged the attack, but some of it still hit his hands and burn marks starts appearing on his body.
Darwin lunged at them in high speed. He raised his saber and makes a deadly horizontal slash. It hits one of them, effectively beheading it.
'One down, four more to go.' Darwin thought to himself. Suddenly he felt a painful strike from behind him, launching him up through the air and to a kitchen sink.
Darwin looked behind him from the sink; he saw a Sausage Monster rising up its fist to punch him away. Darwin jumped from the sink and high to the air. He raised his Lightsaber and prepares himself to make a powerful downward arc.
Then he slashed the Sausage Monster from its head through its body and effectively slicing it to half.
'Two down, three more to go.' Darwin said, he is starting to get exhausted. His newly grown legs are getting wobbly and he couldn`t feel his arms. They are just so full of burn marks and bruises.
"Sleep Mode Activated." Darwin heard a voice coming nearby. He looked at the Sentry Turret Gumball has prepared to help him, and saw the turret standing in front of two corpses of the sausage monsters.
"Wait, that's four. Where is the last one?" Darwin said to himself. He looked around him, and saw the last one sneaking up behind Gumball who is trying to pry opens a window.
"GUMBALL BEHIND YOU!" Darwin yelled. He tried to stop the Sausage Monster with the force, but the Sausage already used its tentacles to strangle Gumball from behind.
The sausage has Gumball in a deadly grip with its tentacles. It glared at Gumball menacingly, as he starts chocking him like a python.
"Dar-Darwin… He-help me…" Gumball said, struggling to breathe properly. He tried to punch the Sausage Monster in the face, but it only opens its mouth, revealing boiling hot oil inside its mouth.
The Sausage Monster opened its mouth, intending to burn Gumball into crisp with its hot oil. But when the monster tried to spit out the hot oil, the oil didn`t hit Gumball. Instead, it floated into a sphere right in front of him.
Gumball raised his hands, revealing that he is holding a Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator. Now that there is boiling hot oil as big as a football right in front of him, Gumball knew what exactly he has to do.
"Guess what? I am on top of the food chain." Gumball said menacingly. He pulled the trigger and the boiling oil flew right onto the Monster Sausage`s face.
It shrieked in pain before collapsing to the floor below. Gumball, free from its restraints, dropped to the floor in exhaustion.
"Darwin?" Gumball started to say. "Yes Gumball?" Darwin replied from the other side of the kitchen. "Are you sure you like IPO? I think she is quite a sadist." Gumball said, while Darwin shook his head. "Nah, I think she is just being playful." Darwin said, while his eyes turned into hearts.
A few moments later, the door opened, revealing Nicole staring at them in amusement. "So, what do you think is more important? The Microwave or your Cutie Pets award?" Nicole said smugly. She looked at Gumball and Darwin lying down on the kitchen floor with bruises and burn marks covering their body.
"Take us to a hospital…" They both said at the same time. Nicole smiled in victory and said "I got the TV."
A few seconds later Gumball and Darwin passed out while Nicole is doing a happy dance.
Meanwhile IPO is staring at them in disbelief. "What kind of a dysfunctional family is this?" she said to herself.
It was only two hours before the show started. Gumball and Darwin are resting on the lengthened sofa while Richard is eating a giant Sausage right beside them.
"Dad, that Sausage was trying to kill us." Gumball said with deadpan expression on his face.
"I know, but this thing tasted so good. You should try some." Richard said. He grabbed a big chunk of it and shoved it down Gumball`s mouth.
"Mmph oomph mmpphhh guh!" (Dad, you`re choking me!)
Gumball struggles to swallow the sausage for a few seconds. Darwin pats his back for a few times before Gumball finally managed to swallow it whole.
"Thanks Darwin." Gumball said. "All right dad, you`re right. It does taste good and I can eat with vengeance. But those things are still radioactive monsters." Gumball said, before taking a little chunk out of the sausage and starts eating it.
Soon everyone on the sofa is eating a giant sausage together. A few minutes later, there are no sausages left.
Suddenly the door opened, revealing Bruce Gunderson blearily walking towards the kitchen. "Coffee." Bruce moaned. A mechanical arm pops out of the floor and starts making him some coffee.
The mechanical arm put the coffee on to a table. While Bruce walked towards the dining table and sat on it. He sipped the coffee a little "Man this coffee taste like dirt." Bruce said while IPO is staring at him. "What do you expect, it`s just ground this morning." IPO replied.
Bruce drank the coffee for a few seconds. Slowly but surely, he felt his head getting clearer and clearer. The sleep slowly disappearing into the caffeine he drank.
"Much better, now it seems like I have forgotten something very important. What is that?" Bruce thought to himself. Then he saw Gumball, Darwin, and Richard sitting together on the sofa.
Bruce could see that there is something troubles Gumball. He walked to the sofa and sat beside him. "Hey kid, what`s wrong?" Bruce said, while Gumball just looked down sadly.
"It was nothing…" Gumball replied tiredly. He thought about what happened in the kitchen and he couldn`t help but feeling useless.
"And by nothing, did you mean: You felt bad for making Darwin doing all of the hard work while you just sit back and relax using your gadgets. You also felt weak and wanting to have super powers like Darwin so you don`t have to rely on him every time." Bruce said, smirking in amusement.
"First is Anais, now it`s you. Is everybody in this family a psychic?" Gumball said. "Nope, it was just me and Anais." Bruce replied.
"Okay grandpa, aren`t you going to do something about it?" Gumball asked, hoping that his super cool grandfather would give him a super power.
"Well I could give you some powers. But then it wouldn`t be fun if I just give you one. Anais and Richard need powers too right?" Bruce said while thinking about a devious plot inside his head.
"What are you thinking?" Gumball said nervously after looking at his father`s devious smile.
"Hey IPO, could you please call everyone down here. I just invented a new game, a game like no other. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" Bruce laughed maniacally, scaring the living day lights out of Gumball and Darwin.
"Hey grandpa, now that I think about it. Maybe I don`t really want a power." Gumball said nervously. But it was already too late, because a portal suddenly appeared on a wall near the stairs.
"What the what! Where did that portal came from?" Gumball said, pointing at the portal near the stairs. Anais, Nicole, and Richard came walking down towards them in curiosity.
"I can create a portal anywhere in this house now. It`s easier this way." IPO said, before demonstrating it by making a portal on a wall nearby before closing it.
"Judging by the expression on your face, you have done something idiotic." Anais said to Gumball with a deadpan expression on her face. While Gumball just nodded in guilt.
"And I felt some guilt rolling of you. So whatever it is must`ve affect me somehow." Anais added, before narrowing her eyes in annoyance.
"We are going to play the power roulette everyone! IPO bring me my power cells." Bruce said in excitement. A mechanical hand rose from the floor, carrying three identical tubes pulsating with multicolored energy.
"Power roulette?" The Watterson said at the same time. "Yes, the rules are simple. Step one; write the coolest, the greatest super power you can imagine." Bruce said, giving Gumball, Anais, and Richard a piece of paper for them to write.
Gumball wrote the words 'Super Mindy Psychicy Power so I am not the only one without psychic '
Anais wrote the words 'Super strength, because I need more physical prowess to survive living in this family.'
Richard wrote the words 'I want to make everything come true so I can create food and anything out of thin air.'
"Now fold the paper and give it to me." Bruce said, taking the papers out of their hands. "Now I will fill these multicolored power cells with the powers you wrote. All you have to do is to pick one and hold it tightly with both of your hands."
Bruce holds each of the power cell and start filling it with powers. "There, now take your power cells." Bruce said, holding the three power cells in front of Gumball, Anais, and Richard.
"Which one is my power?" Gumball said, looking at the three identical power cells. "That`s the point Gumball, he is giving you one random powers. You only have to rely on your luck so you won`t have dad`s wish." Anais said, understanding Bruce`s game.
"Now that you said that, I think I will have dad`s wish." Gumball said, cursing his sister for tempting fate once again. He took the middle power cell and gripped it with both of his hands.
"Is this going to be as painful as my watch?" Gumball asked nervously. He felt a tingling sensation crawling up his arms and to his chest.
"No, it won`t be as painful as the Cube of Possibility." Bruce said reassuringly. While the tingling sensation on Gumball`s arms are now covering his whole body. The tingling sensation turned more and more intense, starting to be very painful.
"Grandpa, I think you`re lying, you`re lying aren`t you?" Gumball said accusingly as the pain gets more and more unbearable. "Well I`m not lying when I said it won`t be as painful as the cube, but I will be lying if I said it`s less painful then the cube. That thing is a thousand time more painful than the cube." Bruce explained while Gumball is cursing his grandpa`s word play.
"I hate you…" Gumball whispered before screaming in agony once again. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH" He screamed in agony, while his brain suddenly jumps out of his head once again.
A few seconds later, which felt like a lifetime for Gumball. The pain recedes before slowly fading away. He dropped down on to the floor while Anais and Richard stared at him in fear.
"I am NOT getting through that!" Anais said in objection, while Richard just stared at Gumball in fear.
"Don`t worry Anais, the reason why your brother is suffering, it is because he got the strongest power." Bruce said, holding the power cell in front of them.
"And what is that?" Anais asked, fearing that Gumball got her wish. "It`s Richard`s wish. The Power of Imagination." Bruce replied, while Richard just looked down sadly.
"Now come on, take one." Bruce said, holding the power cell in front of Anais and Richard. They both looked at each other before saying "Rock Paper Scissors?" Richard asked. "Rock Paper Scissors" Anais replied in agreement.
They both raised their hand and start playing the game. Anais won and she gets to choose first. She took one power cells and gripped it tightly with both of her hands.
"For some reason, I have a feeling that this is Gumball`s wish. I just hope it`s not something idiotic." Anais said to herself. Then she felt her head pounding and vibrating in pain. The headache is starting to become even more unbearable and she starts moaning in agony.
"Ah! What is wrong with my head?! It hurts so much!" Anais said, crouching down and lay down in a fetal position.
A few seconds later the pain stopped abruptly, she slowly stands up on her feet, but it seems like the gravity is not on her side this time.
She wobbled around and tried to stands up but her feet couldn`t seem to support her weigh. She looked at Bruce who is staring at her in amusement. "Why can`t I stand up properly?" Anais asked sitting on the floor.
"That`s because you got the power of an old friend of mine. He`s one of the strongest psychic in the world and his brain powers almost matches IPO`s mother. He can`t stand or walk so he have to use wheelchair for the rest of his life." Bruce explained while Anais is staring at him in horror.
"You mean I am crippled for life!" Anais said, putting the dots together and she couldn`t help but think about the future.
"Yes, you are crippled for life. But don`t worry, I have prepared one long fall boots and a set of exoskeleton legging for helping you stand and walk normally." Bruce said, as one mechanical arm carrying a pair of white little boots and pants descended from the floor beside him.
"Gumball, I am blaming you for this." Anais said, glaring at Gumball who just woke up from his pain induced coma. "Why me?" Gumball said childishly.
"Because you`re the one who wished for a powerful psychic powers. The worst thing is: I can read your mind and honestly it is horrible." Anais said, while struggling to wear the exoskeleton leggings and long fall boots.
"My mind is not horrible; it is very clean and beautiful." Gumball retorted. "Gumball, you`re thinking about Penny. Every damn time…" Anais said with a deadpan expression on her face.
Gumball was about to say something, but Anais already beat him to it. "And now you`re thinking about wearing a tinfoil hat to stop me from reading your mind."
"Dad, it`s your turn now." Gumball said, completely ignoring Anais. "Of course, now let me choose a stick." Richard said, staring at the power cell in front of him.
"Dad, there is only one power cell left. You don`t have to pick anything!" Anais said with an exasperated look on her face.
"I`ll choose this one." Richard said, taking the only power cell on Bruce`s hand. He gripped the power cell tightly before licking it a little. "Hmm, tasty." Richard said before putting the power cell into his mouth.
"Richard that is not a food, do not swallow it, do not lick it, and do not eat it." Bruce said sternly while Richard took the power cell out of his mouth and start gripping it with a sad expression on his face.
"Okay, how long is this going to take?" Richard asked, getting tired for gripping the power cell. "It`s already done, you can put the power cell down now." Bruce replied while Anais and Gumball just stared at them in disbelief.
"WHAT! My head felt like it was going to explode." Anais said. "And my whole body is in so much pain, my brain escaped!" Gumball said.
"How did dad get a power without feeling any pain?!" They both yelled, feeling like Bruce being unjust to them. "It`s easy, all I have to do is to tell my body not to tell my brain about the pain. That way, I can`t feel any pain." Richard said, making it sounds easy.
"All right, now for the fun part, The Power demonstration." Bruce said, rubbing his hands while chuckling evilly.
"Gumball, you got the power of imagination. Everything you imagine will become real in a 5 feet radius from your body. You can also be anything you can imagine, but the powers of your imagination couldn`t affect a living being. So if you try to imagine Penny falling in love with you, it wouldn`t work." Bruce explained, while Gumball is starting to vibrate in excitement.
"Awesome!" Gumball exclaimed. He imagined a tinfoil hat appeared on his hands, and suddenly a tinfoil hat appeared out of the thin air.
He quickly wore it on top of his head and looked at Anais smugly. "Yes Gumball, I can still read your mind." Anais said before Gumball could say anything.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. You can`t imagine any kinds of complex technology. So no, you can`t imagine a Portal Gun or a Gravity Gun." Bruce added the moment Gumball tried to imagine a Portal Gun.
"Aww, how do I get stronger? I think 5 feet is a little bit short." Gumball said, while trying to imagine a remote. It worked; a remote appeared on his hands.
"I GOT THE TV EVERYONE!" Gumball yelled, raising the remote he just created in victory. He does a little happy dance, before trying his shape shifting powers.
He imagined himself turning into a little airplane and he found himself flying around the living room. "This awesome! Look at me, I`m a flying cat!" Gumball exclaimed in excitement as he zipped all around the living room.
Then he makes himself taller and almost identical to Nicole. "Remember Anais, you have to respect your elders!" Gumball said, making himself older with a mustache on his face.
"Yeah sure, you`re still mentally a baby. No matter how big you are." Anais retorted, standing up on her legs and walked around easily with the boots and leggings Bruce gave her.
"Next is Anais, you have the power of mind. You can read peoples mind, slip into someone`s mind, plant fake ideas or memories into someone`s head, and mind control for complete possession." Bruce explained while Anais`s eyes widens in surprise.
An evil smirk appeared on her face, she tried to slip inside Gumball`s head. But there is something blocking her from doing it. "Oh and the tinfoil hat is one of the most powerful mental defense in the world." Bruce said after watching Anais struggling to slip into Gumball`s head.
Anais didn`t say anything, she just looked at Gumball and Bruce in disbelief before saying "What is wrong with this world?"
"Welcome to The Amazing World of Elmore!" Bruce, Gumball, Darwin, Richard, and Nicole shouted at the same time. They all have a big smile on their face and their eyes are sparkling in amusement.
Anais mutely walked to the sofa and knocked herself out. While everyone just laughed in amusement.
"Richard, your power is super strength. You can also manipulate your body shape, lengthen your arms or turn yourself into a giant." Bruce said, while Richard just stared at him in confusion.
"Forget what I said, you are too soft to care about this." Bruce said, walking back to the sofa and sat on it.
Suddenly Bruce remembered something. He looked around him in surprise and clapped his hands twice.
"Everyone, I just remembered something! The Amazing World of Elmore needs something. Something very important, something like…" Bruce said trying to find good words while everyone sat beside him.
"You guys are very powerful, but I think you guys are being a little bit Over Powered. So I have thought an alternative… I am going to give every single citizen in Elmore a super power!" Bruce said while everyone just stared at him like he just gone mad.
"Dad, are you sure?" Nicole said worriedly. "Yes, I am very sure." Bruce replied. He rose from his seat and raised both of his arms to his sides. "Prepare for the power of Pure Awesomeness." Bruce said while Nicole led everyone to take cover.
A whirlwind of energy starts spinning all around Bruce, his eyes glows pure white and he slowly floats up. "I am asking for your permission to change the fate of this world… Deus Ex Machina." Bruce said to the air in front of him.
"I give you my permission. Go and make a good story with a beautiful ending." A deep voice echoed from the air all around Bruce. "Challenge Accepted!" Bruce replied before slamming both of his palms to the floor below him.
Everything starts to vibrate as every person in Elmore found themselves getting a huge amount of super powers. Some got a new one, some just turned stronger than before.
A few minutes later, everything stopped shaking. Bruce calmly sat on the sofa while the Watterson just stared at him like he just grows a second head. "Don`t worry, the power I give to the citizens of Elmore is not available, someone must unlock it first." Bruce said, calming the Watterson just a little bit.
"How do you unlock it?" Gumball asked. "Simple, just bring the person to me, then I will unlock it. It can also be unlocked under serious circumstances or mortal danger." Bruce replied.
"Oh and I almost forgot, anyone who already have a super power can unlock the power I gave easily. So be careful, you are not the strongest person in Elmore. Yes I am talking to you Gumball." Bruce said, while Gumball just looked down in dismay.
"But there are lots of students who have super powers, Tina, Bobert, Ocho, Hector, and more. Does that mean they are still the strongest person in school?" Gumball said
"Yes Gumball, you are not going to be the strongest person in Elmore Junior High school." Bruce said flatly. "Well, it was fun while it lasts." Gumball said.
Then Gumball realized something. He imagined a TV appeared right in front of him. He just hopes a TV is not a complex technology and his imagination could make one.
It worked, a TV suddenly appeared on both of his hands. He looked at the TV for a few seconds before he starts doing some happy dance. "Darwin, I got a TV!" Gumball said excitedly.
"That`s great Gumball! But don`t we need an antenna to get a signal?" Darwin asked. "I`ll just imagine one!" Gumball said, as he starts imagining an antenna.
A huge parabola suddenly appeared right in front of Gumball`s face, squishing him down. "Somebody get this antenna off of me!" Gumball said, struggling to lift the parabola from his body.
"Don`t worry son, I will help you!" Richard said, running towards Gumball and lifted the antenna off of Gumball`s body. "Thanks dad, looks like you do have super strength." Gumball said, standing up.
"Hey, IPO told me that you guys were fighting each other for a remote. Care to explain why?" Bruce asked while Nicole, Gumball, and Darwin looked at each other in embarrassment.
"Well I need a new microwave." Nicole said. "We won the Cutie Pets award." Gumball and Darwin said. "El gran final de La Casa de las Lagrimas" Richard said. "Daisy the donkey is going to meet Sally the snake tonight." Anais said.
"Okay… Kitten, if you want a microwave I can always give you one. Anais, if you want Daisy the Donkey I can give you a DVD about it. Richard, you can use my TV. And Gumball, Darwin, you can have the TV." Bruce said, solving the family crisis with a few sentences.
"You`re right, why did we fight anyway?" Nicole said, feeling a little bit embarrassed for over reacting. "We still got the TV in the end, Woooohooo." Gumball and Darwin shouted in victory.
Finally it is 8:00 pm. Gumball and Darwin are happily watching the TV while Anais is upstairs, watching Daisy the Donkey using the computer.
Nicole is trying the new microwave, the microwave worked perfectly and no mutant foods came out of the microwave. "Ah… this coffee is just perfect." Nicole said, sipping a cup of coffee in content.
Meanwhile inside the RAM home surveillance system, Bruce and IPO are looking at the Watterson with a smile on their face. "So, do you think they`re ready?" IPO said. "I think they are more than ready." Bruce replied.
As you can see, my style of writing is simple. No Cliffhanger, you`re welcome.
Oh and tell me what you like and/or don`t like from my story. So constructive criticism everyone, I need that.
If you`re wondering what RAM is, it will be all revealed in the next chapter. Which might be just a little bit late, with all of the new year and all that.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! HAL signing out!
