(Hey everyone, before we can start off with the story, I just wanna give a shout out to my sister, Takahashi Yasha. She writes amazing InuYasha stories, one of them was able to make people cry on Tumblr.

Anyway, my sister published a new story called Ron's New Friend, it's an amazing story and even DNA-Do-Not-Abominate left a review on her story! Go check it out, it's awesome. And now, without further ado, let's read.

I do not own The Amazing World of Gumball.)

Gumball floated in a dark void, but not The Void, just a black space to endlessly float around in. He looked around nervously, not sure what he was afraid of, but he had a feeling that something evil was around.

"Gumball..." a voice called out, the voice was male, it dragged the words in a deep and eerie voice. Desperate to find the source of the voice, Gumball frantically looked around, "Who's there?!" he yelled.

"Over here..."

Gumball turned to his left, but saw no one.

"Or maybe over here..."

Gumball turned to his right now, but he still couldn't see anyone.

"I am everywhere Gumball..." the voice came from behind, and it was very close. The chilly presence of whoever was talking caused Gumball to shiver and his hackles rose.

With a nervous tone, Gumball asked, "Who are you? Where are you? What are you?" The voice chuckled darkly, it came from Gumball's front, "I am what people call The Devil... I am what turns others into monsters using their rage... I am the reason why your mother could turn into a demon!!!

"And I will be back!!! Your negativity is far more stronger than anyone I've met... And I will feed and grow until I can finally take over Elmore!!! And then... the world..."

Gumball sat up with a scream, he then screamed again when he propped himself up too fast, causing his back to sting and burn.

He fell back onto his bed with a frustrated sigh, it sucked to have your back hurt all day. Gumball heard someone running up the stairs, then, Darwin slammed open the door, but it didn't a reaction besides a confused one from Gumball.

"Gumball quick! We need to look respectful!" Draw in said, after closing the door, Darwin ran to a trunk at a corner and threw all types of clothes out.

Gumball managed to roll out of bed without hurting himself too much and stood next to Darwin, "Why?" Gumball asked, taking off a shirt that landed on his head when Darwin threw it.

"Mrs.Mom said the Chase family is coming over for dinner soon, and we need to look our best!" Darwin answered. Gumball gasped as he remembered Nicole's conversation with Catherine, Swift's family was coming over, looking sharp and respectful was now top priority.

Gumball joined Darwin in the search for clothes tossing out the ones that didn't look suitable for the occasion. After a minute or so, Gumball and Darwin managed to find their old suits, used when Felicity and Billy came over for lunch.

Nicole had the suits ironed in less than 2 minutes and handed it back to the boys, but before Gumball ran off, Nicole had to change the bandage. Unfortunately, Gumball yowled and tried to scramble away while Nicole was trying to apply medicine, so Richard, Anais, and Darwin had to hold Gumball still.

Then, when Gumball was hiding on his bed with blankets covering the sides(they were hung from above), he thought about his so-called dream. 'The reason why Mom could turn into a demon?' Gumball wondered, 'What could that be? Maybe I'm just thinking too much about Mom's 'superpower'. Maybe it's just a stupid dream.'

"Is it...?"

Gumball whimpered softly when he heard the voice, he looked around, then parted the blanket slightly and saw Darwin practicing his greeting speeches with the mirror. The blue feline let go and let the blankets shroud him in darkness, causing Gumball's eyes to adjust to the darkness again. 'Maybe it is.'

10 minutes later...

The doorbell rang, the Chase family was here. Nicole took a deep breath, she turned to her family, who were lined up side by side in front of the dining area. The Wattersons were dressed sharply tonight.

"Okay, now, do you all remember what we discussed?" Nicole asked, the kids nodded, and as expected, Richard shook his head. With a sigh, Nicole said, "This is not a usual family dinner, we don't want to make a fool of ourselves okay? But! This is not Felicity and Billy, so act natural, but not too natural."

This time, everyone nodded. The doorbell rang again, Nicole turned around and said, "Coming!" with a sing song voice.

Upon answering the door, Gumball was surprised at the number of people there were. Besides Swift and Catherine, there was a snow leopard next to the doe. He had a pure white coat with a silver sheen to it, his dazzling amber eyes were filled excitement as he looked at the Wattersons and he had the normal leopard patterns on his body.

Standing in front of Swift and her parents were three little cubs that looked like they were 4 like Anais. They all had a body type of a leopard, all had eyes like Swift's, all had baby antlers, all had the fluffy tip on their tail, all had paws, and all were boys.

The first one had a pure white coat like his father, but he had no patterns on his body. The second one had a tan coloured fur like Swift and Catherine, but he had the leopard patterns. And the third one had a pure white coat like his father and brother, he had the patterns of his father. The Chase family were dressed sharply too, but Swift had her looks disturbed by bandages around heavier bruises and her broken fang, which seemed to be growing back.

"Why hello there Mr.Chase! It's good to see you and your family!" Nicole greeted with her paw extended and with happiness, whether it was forced or not, no one could tell.

Swift's father took Nicole's paw and shook it, "A pleasure to meet you Mrs.Watterson, my name's Leopold Chase.The title is nice, but you may call me Leopold instead of Mr.Chase." he said.

"Well then, my name's Nicole "Senicourt" Watterson. You may call me Nicole." Nicole said in a polite voice, she and Leopold withdrew their paws.

Nicole invited the Chases in, inside, the two families stood across from each other. "Please, allow me to introduce you to my family." Leopold said, he gestured to his sons.

"This is Piper "Drake" Chase, the oldest of the triplets." Leopold said, gesturing to the first little leopard, who waved happily. "This one is Tyler "Brock" Chase, the second oldest." Leopold gestured to the second cub, who shyly have a mini wave and a tiny smile. "And this one is Hunter "Jack" Chase, the youngest, yet, somehow biggest." Leopold gestured to third son, he reluctantly waved with a slight scowl.

The triplets were different, yet somehow, it was believable for them to be triplets. While Piper and Tyler were both the same height and size, Hunter was taller and slightly bulkier.

"And of course, this is my wife, Catherine Chase. And my daughter, Charlotte "Autumn" Chase." The two girls inclined their heads as a greeting in unison, like mother like daughter.

Nicole smiled brightly, "It's nice to meet you all." she said. "Please, let me introduce my family." Nicole turned to Richard first, "This is my husband, Richard "Buckley" Watterson." Richard smiled nervously and waved.

Then to Anais, "This is my daughter and youngest child, Anais Watterson." Anais waved shyly like Tyler. Then to Darwin, "This is my second son, he's adopted, Darwin Raglan Caspian Ahab Poseidon Nicodemius Watterson III." Draw in waved with enthusiasm.

"And my oldest child and my first son, Gumball "Tristopher" Watterson." Nicole patted Gumball's head when she introduced him, earning a bright smile from the little blue feline.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you, your family is quite unique." Catherine said, inclining her head, "Now, let us not stand around and talk, shall we have dinner?"

The 4 year olds were seated at the table in front of the couch, while the older ones were sitting around the dining table. Nicole had cooked up a hearty meal for the dinner, as expected of a mother.

While eating, the family chatted up a storm, while the kindergarteners barely spoke due to their awkwardness.

"Na ah! I don't believe you!" Swift said to Gumball, who laughed, "I can show you if you like." he said. Swift shook her head with a wide smile, "Naw! You can't have a skateboard, you don't even look like you skate." she said, leaning towards Gumball with her arms crossed.

Gumball huffed, "Follow me up then! I'll show you that I skate!" he said, leaning towards Swift as well. "Alrighty then." Swift agreed, to the two kids looked to their parents, "Mom, Dad, may we be excused from the table?" they asked in unison.

The parents agreed, and suddenly, it became a race to see who can reach and run up the stairs first. The parents shook their heads with a smile and said, "Kids."

Gumball and Swift were both able to reach the end of the stairs at the same time, they laughed as Gumball lead Swift to his room. But upon opening the door, the two kids gasped when they saw a shadowy figure take a piggyback from the top bunk of the bed, not just that, the room was ransacked too.

"Thief!" Swift yelled down the hall, while she did so, the figure ran and Gumball chased after him. The figure,—whom Gumball had chosen to call Shadow Person—ran. "Hey!" Gumball yelled, he grabbed his skateboard that was just lying around and jumped out the window.

"What the- Gumball!" Swift exclaimed, she ran to the window and looked outside, Gumball was chasing Shadow Person on the streets, Shadow Person was driving whereas Gumball was on his skateboard.

With a deep breath, Swift climbed out the window too, and the others made it just in time to see her tail vanish from view.

On the streets...

Gumball grumbled as the car sped up, 'Why couldn't they make skateboards with engines and stuff?' Gumball thought. He saw the care went down, there was slope coming up, "Perfect!" Gumball exclaimed.

With a push, Gumball sent himself propelling down the slope with increasing speed, whooping, Gumball skated up a ramp. He saw how close the car was, but he wouldn't be able to catch up to it, so there was only one thing to do, jump.

Gumball grunted as he kicked off from his skateboard, flying towards the car, he braced himself for any impact.

The air was knocked out from his lungs when he hit the top of the car, he yowled and wheezed, trying to breathe back air.

Unfortunately, Shadow Person had heard the impact on the car and tried to lose Gumball, he made sudden turns and drive at a high speed through bumps.

But Gumball wasn't the one to give up so easily, he unsheathed his claws and dug them into the metal, although it hurt. He struggled to climb to the front, and he only got mad when Shadow Person when through tunnels and under signboards to lose him, it was getting harder to even hold on.

As the blue feline crawled forward, he crouched on fours and unsheathed the claws in his hind feet. He growled and continued to crawl on with determination.

Gumball managed to reached the front windows, he gripped onto the top tightly on the side with the broken window, he swung his head down. "Hey! Stop this car!" Gumball yelled, Shadow Person screamed and the car started swerving. Gumball exclaimed in surprise as he was almost flung off, he hissed when the pain on his back started acting up again.

"Alright then." Gumball muttered, maintaining his balance, Gumball took out his right paw and used a claw to cut open the car's roof. His claw surprisingly went through and Gumball was able to cut it as easily as a pair of scissors would cut paper.

With strength similar to Nicole's, Gumball pried open the cut out square and threw it aside before jumping into the car.

"What the-" Shadow Person turned to Gumball instead of watching the road, a stubborn move. "Stop this car right now!" Gumball yelled, he jumped at the shadow and roared as he clung onto Shadow Person's face.

The car started to swerve dangerously as Gumball fought with the driver, the car made U-turns, sharp turns, all kinds of turns. It was about time when Gumball and his opponent realize that they were driving straight towards a wall.

Screaming, Gumball stepped on Shadow Person's face and pushed himself out of the hole. "Hey! Come back here!" Shadow Person yelled, he tried to grab Gumball by the legs, but the blue feline jumped off the car before he could go back into the death ride.

Landing on his side and yowling, Gumball was able to see the car explode as it hit the wall. As Gumball's world faded to black, red and blue lights flashed all around and sirens were wailing.
