A/N: Yes, I am now actually going to finish up my saga. With a little help, I think I can pull it off now. Last time I was writing in this was during the summer of last year before i began working on TDWOG. To my new followers, in this saga, I will place suggestive music from YouTube during big moments in the story. TDWOG didn't have this because I kinda wanted you guys to pick your own music for scenes. And this will still apply. But the recommended songs will be posted just cus it was what I was listening to and it fits well in a scene.

Secondly, if you see this * at the start of a scene, that means the music is being used in that scene. When you see * again at the end of the scene, the music is no longer being played.

Lastly, the Ocs in this story are my own personal creations. If you're bored and want to decide to mess around with people's Oc's, if you want mine, then get my permission first.

Music Used (in order):

Metal Gear Rising: Revengence - Red Sun - (Instrumental) or Lyrics. (both are the same)

Ch.6 Dark's Desire

Blitz sat in front of a wide arrange of TV monitors. Four of them focused on one particular containment grid. A military official walked in and solutes.

"Sir, it is time." the official said. Blitz stood up and walked into a wide big room. In the middle stood the containment grid from the monitors.

"Open the containment unit." Blitz ordered. The soldier nodded and pressed a button on a remote. An alarm sounded in the room and the containment tank hissed, sending pressurized steam across the ground. The tank lifted and revealed a dark colored cat. "Wakey, wakey Dark. Time for your interrogation." Blitz said. Blitz was fully aware of what Dark is capable of. As much as he is Gumball's darker self, Dark is a being created from Xmortis's power. Blitz was ready if Dark pulled any sudden moves. Dark opened his eyes, his dark red eyes glared at Blitz and the soldier. The soldier gave a small gulp. Dark smiled.

"Boo!" Dark succeeded in making the soldier jump. Blitz, however, remained straight faced and calm. Dark was handcuffed and was escorted to a dark room. Once sat down, Blitz took the seat across from him.

"Well then, let's get started." Blitz said.

"You really think I am a pawn of Limbo, don't you? Well sorry, pal, but Limbo is of no concern to me anymore." Dark said.

"This isn't about you working with Limbo. This has to deal with your connection to Gumball." Dark perked up a bit.

"I'm listening. So how is my little fake doing?" Dark smirked.

"For now, being terrorized by school." Blitz tilted his head. "So then... I'll get straight to the point. We need you back in Gumball."

"What, go back to that simple minded fake's heart? I'd rather pass. I enjoy being free." Dark growled.

"I understand, but right now, the universe is at stake. And without you, Gumball is powerless in stopping Limbo."

"Why need me? He already has an entity from Limbo in his head." Blitz gave a confused look.

"How did-"

"How did I know? You forget..." Dark gave a sly look at Blitz. "I am his dark self. We are two beings with a heart that is connected to one another. What ever Gumball feels, I feel."

"Okay, so you have a twin mind link. That's good to know. But that is not what I want out of you." Blitz pointed at Dark. "You are going back inside Gumball's heart."

"So blunt. This is why people hate the government. They demand instead of ask. They make brash decisions before even looking over the flaws. It's sad Blitz. I thought you were different from your government lackeys."

"So it's going to be like that huh? Well I can tell you one thing, the government doesn't have authority over my actions anymore. What I do is solely my responsibility."

"They even demoted you to mercenary rank instead of the rank you desire." Dark laughed.

"Wrong. I created the E.S.S. mercenaries. I even hand selected people that were capable of the job." Blitz sighed.

"And one of them happened to be an heir to a universal being's throne." This made Blitz cringe a little.

"If I had known, I probably still would have picked him."

"And why is that?" Blitz looked at Dark.

"Dark... I do have one question to ask. What is it you truly desire?" Dark was a bit thrown off by this. But he sighed and stared Blitz straight in the face.

"Freedom. That is all I ever want. Being trapped in that fake was getting tiresome. And with unintentional help, I was freed from him and was able to explore the town in which my fake calls home."

"That answers your question. I chose Grunt because he deserved his freedom. He reminds me of a younger me when I was a cadet in the military. It was just a side perk that he is a well known hacker in the cyber world and a skilled combatant in the field of war as well as being a chosen heir to take over a universal being's throne." Blitz said.

"So where is your free little bird anyway?" Dark grinned.

"He... he disappeared after our last confrontation. But it was only recently that we happen to find him working for a deadly assassin known as Specter. After that, we just let him go."

"Any reason why?"

"Like I said. He deserves his freedom. But Dark, my point is, you aren't truly free. The only way to be free is to live on through Gumball. You haven't stepped one foot out of this town except for being in that castle. You know why? Because you don't know what the rest of the world is like since Gumball hasn't even gone past his own town before. You are afraid to find out what's out there." Just as Blitz expected, Dark sprang up in anger.

"Me? Afraid? Are you trying to mock me to get answers? Well you just lost your chance, buddy!" Dark hissed. Blitz said nothing and just stared into Dark's red eyes. Dark looked away. "...We are done here." After that, the two didn't speak. Blitz led him back into the containment tank.

"Stop right there, handsome." a voice said. Blitz swore under his breath and held up his hands. Dark looked over his shoulder. He recognized the ferret lady in a tight body suite aiming a gun at Blitz.

"The hell are you doing here?" Dark growled.

"Well, dear, I am here to bust you out." the ferret said.

"Ms. Julian..." Blitz said.

"Oh, how charming. You even remembered my code name and not my real one." the ferret said with a sly smile.

"Why don't you go back to being the mayor's secretary?" Dark spat. "I'm done with you lot."

"I don't think you are in a position to even talk, Dark. Besides, Limbo still isn't finished with you." Jessica said.

"Really? A god actually misses me. I am so flattered. But unfortunately, I don't really give a crap what Limbo wants with me. I won't give him the satisfaction."

"You're not making my job any more easier." Ms. Julian walked over, took the keys from Blitz's pocket and uncuffed Dark. Dark flexed his wrists. "Thanks a lot, handsome. I also have something for you." she kissed Blitz on the cheek. In retaliation, Blitz spun a reverse round house kick, but Jessica bent back and his leg went over her. She let herself fall and push herself back up with a kick up that both feet planted into Blitz's chest. Blitz stumbled back and Ms. Julian winked at him. "My... ever the survivor. You're lucky you are cute, other wise, I would have just shot you dead."

"Now your just mocking me." Blitz growled. Ms. Julian smirked. She pulled out a flash bang, kissed it and tossed it at Blitz. Before Blitz could close his eyes, Jessica quickly shot the grenade and Blitz was blinded by a flash of light. Blitz tried to shake it off. When his vision finally came to, he looked around and saw that Ms. Julian and Dark had already left. "Dammit..." Blitz pulled out his walkie talkie.

"Team, come in." he said. Garbled replies followed one after the other.

"Kit here." said the garbled voice of Kit.

"Yo, boss." said the voice of Brute.

"You called?" said the voice of Foxy.

"Two things. One, you guys actually keep your radios with you?"

"Well of course." replied Kit. "Knowing you, you will just give us a random job."

"True. The next thing. Gear up. We are going hunting for a ferret and a dark feline."

Gumball sat on the bleachers with Darwin. It was lunch time. Gumball watched as Leslie, Masami, Molly, Terri and Penny practiced their cheer leading.

"You seriously got to stop bringing me out here." Darwin said annoyed.

"Why, what's wrong with a bit of fresh air?" Gumball asked. It wasn't really sunny as Gumball thought it was. In fact, it was raining... again.

"Dude, really now. I know you are just gawking at Penny again." Darwin said.

"Err... in a way, yes. But..." Gumball gave a worried look. Penny concentrated on doing flips, which she landed successfully most of the time.

"But?" Darwin asked, curious as to what Gumball was going to say.

"I can't help but feel... paranoid. I mean, think about what happened last year. We ended up in this major conflict due to a mistake that ninjas, back in the medieval era, accidentally released. Then after that, you guys lives were put on the line, I died once, Penny got controlled by a parasite, I fought a god who is now our classmate who is pretending to be blind!" Gumball said. He sighed to calm himself. "What's worse is that now that Limbo is now our classmate and keeping a close eye on me, Darwin, he is going to try and get me expelled from school! Think of the damage he could do to everyone in the school!"

"You mean like what happened to Bobert?" Darwin asked remembering that kids were spreading rumors that Bobert was attacked by a ghost of some kind.

"Exactly. Limbo may have put him in the hospital! We know full well when Bobert goes ballistic, so how can a small android, robot... thing... end up like a crushed soda can?" Gumball looked over. "The answer has been standing not too far away from us." The boys looked beyond the cheer leading practice and saw Victor sitting down crisscrossed on the grass.

I'll make him pay for this... Why can't we just take him out while we still have a chance?

"Can't do that, Linel. Need I remind you that if I get in trouble one more time Principle Brown is going to expel me?"

So what? It'll be worth it! I mean, he is a god bent on ruling the universe... So save it now instead of waiting...

Linel gave a good point. But as much as Gumball wants to punch Limbo for all the things he has done, he still doesn't want to break school rules.

"We are Elmore! Elmore Junior High!" The cheer leaders sang as they waved and flipped with their pom poms. Penny looked at Gumball after realizing Limbo was sitting not too far away from them.

'Limbo... you better not do anything...' Penny swore as she continued her practice.

Limbo used the shade to inspect the cheer leading routine. He couldn't help but chuckle.

'Foolish creatures. What is a few words and some flipping going to do to bring moral up?' His ears twitched as he heard a familiar sound of a portal opening. Without looking back, he realized who it was.

"Ms. Julian. What a pleasant surprise." Limbo smirked.

"Limbo, when are ya' going to kill the kid already?" Ms. Julian sighed in frustration.

"I am just waiting for the perfect opportunity. What's a little harm in toying your prey?" Limbo said. This sent a chill down Ms. Julian spine.

'I sometimes wonder why I work for this lunatic. Oh yeah... the money.' Ms. Julian looked ahead and scoffed at the cheer leaders. "You know, I used to be a popular cheer leader back in my days." Limbo nodded, but didn't really care to listen.

"Ms. Julian, I do believe you are talking as if an old person would. Why I am assuming that all those years of make up and beauty spas are finally beginning to fade." Limbo said nonchalant. Ms. Julian had to refrain from insulting Limbo for the comment. "So, how is Tyrone doing in his work?"

"Well, he hasn't came back yet and report in. But I don't see why it matters." Ms. Julian said trying to calm herself.

"And what about our 'guest'?" Limbo smirked wider. Without saying a word, Ms. Julian motioned with her head and Dark walked out of the portal.

"Let's get this done and over with." Dark said. "I am getting really tired of being ordered around by some hag."

"You little brat!" Ms. Julian flared. Limbo held up a hand that silenced them. He stood up and brushed the grass from his jeans.

"Dark. Your choice is free from here on out. You will no longer work for us. So go nuts." Limbo said. He turned and walked into the portal. Ms. Julian glared at Dark and stuck her young out before walking into the portal. The portal vanished into a wisp of smoke.

'Psh, such a hypocrite.' Dark thought. He cracked his neck and stepped out into the foot ball field.

"Aww no!" Gumball stood up.

"What?" Darwin asked worriedly.

"It's Dark! Penny, get everyone out of there!" Gumball shouted. The girls looked over to him.

"Ugh, is he still sitting there?" Masami said disgusted. "What a creep."

"Aww, now you are just hurting my feelings." a voice said from behind them. They gasped and huddled together as they saw Dark smile at them slyly.

"Wh- wha? Two Gumballs?" Masami asked. Dark glanced at Penny and winked.

"You can probably guess why I am here." Dark said as he walked past them.

"No, Dark! Wait! Please don't do this!" Penny pleaded.

"Stay out of this. This between me and my fake." Dark said.

Gumball clenched his fist. "Linel." Gumball said.

I know... I am giving you the sword now...

Gumball held out his hand and the spiked sword appeared. He could feel the power of Xmortis flowing through him. Grasping the handle, Gumball jumped from the bleachers and landed a few meters away from him.

"I think it's about time we end this!" Dark shouted. A dark aura formed in his clenched fist. He opened his hand and a dark sword that looked similar to Xmortis's sword appeared. He spun the sword skillfully in his hand and pointed it at Gumball. Gumball gripped the sword and the two prepared to face off.

Blitz drove the armored vehicle down the road. A school building came into view. In the back sat the E.S.S. team.

"Any reason as to why we are going to a middle school?" Kit asked as she spun her knife in her hand.

"Yep, the person I owe a debt to is there at the moment." Blitz said.

The team exchanged glances.

"Don't tell me you owe a debt to a kid." Brute said. Blitz said nothing as he swerved in to a stop in front of the school.

"Get ready." Blitz said. As if on cue, an explosion sounded from the football field.

"What the?" Kit exclaimed. The team got out and without hesitation, ran toward the conflict.

The dust cleared around Gumball.

Lucky I took over for that...

"Yeah. Thanks for that." Gumball breathed. Dark was hovering in the air, his sword giving off small wisps of smoke.

"That being in your head is really starting to tick me off." Dark hissed. "Why don't you fight your own fights?" Dark sprang forward at Gumball. But Gumball jumped away in time. Dark saw this coming, so he landed softly on the grass and instantly rushed forward. Gumball blocked the swing. The swords created sparks that flew in all directions. Gumball forced Dark's blade away and attempted to strike him, but Dark back flipped and landed a few feet away.

"You are just another one of Limbo's puppets!" Gumball shouted. Dark laughed.

"Is that really how you think of me? Well then, what about you?" Dark glared at Gumball.

"What are you talking about?" Gumball said as he squinted his eyes in suspicion.

"Let me say what I think about you." Dark spun his sword. "You call me a puppet, yet you don't think of yourself as one. You are a target of a god of the universe. And... may I include the fact that you are hosting one of Limbo's own creations inside your head."

"Are you saying Linel is a puppet as well?" Gumball asked.

"Merely implying it, even it is the truth." Dark said.

"Grrr... now he's really ticking me off." Gumball mumbled.

Hey hey! Keep your head in the game!...

*"I think it's about time we finished this." Dark said as he pointed his sword at Gumball. The two felines rushed at each other and their swords clashed.

Blitz and his team moved through the halls of the school.

"Umm... sir? Shouldn't we at least have disguised ourselves in here?" Kit asked.

"No point." Blitz said as they walked past a group of kids staring at them. Even the teachers were surprised by their sudden presence. Blitz picked up his pace.

Gumball sprinted to the left, avoiding Dark's Dark Spear.

"It seems all your good at is running!" Dark said as he waved his sword sending more spears at him.

"It seems all your good at is making me run!" Gumball retorted.

Gumball... let me take over...

'You kidding? Stay out of this!' Gumball told Linel. Gumball brought up his sword just in time to block a swing from Dark. The two blocked and parried each other. Gumball then stabbed at him, but Dark flipped over him and kicked him in the back of the head. Gumball flipped forward, but rolled to recover. Dark rushed and the sword collided in a lock.

"So much of a fake you are!" Dark hissed.

"For the last time! I'm the real Gumball!" Gumball hissed back. Over by the bleachers, the girls hid from the fight.

"Just what is going on here!?" Masami exclaimed. "Penny! You seemed to know that boy! What is going on!?" Penny looked at Masami with a squint.

"Err... it is hard to explain. You had to be there to see it." Penny said. A crash made them jump. Peeking back out, they saw Gumball roll out of the way of a spear. Dark lunged again.

Gumball! Now!...

Gumball shifted his body slightly to the side. He caught Dark by the scuff of his shirt, spun him around and tossed him into the football goal post. It bent forward. Dark was dazed.

"Got ya now!" Gumball said as he lunged with Xmortis's sword out in front of him. Dark looked up and smirked.

"Syike!" Dark said. He hooked Gumball's sword with his, spun and slammed him into the goal post. Gumball felt the air leave him. "Now then... time for us to end this!" Dark rose his blade up. Gumball closed his eyes tight and waited for the blow. But Dark wasn't able to. A loud bang sounded and Dark's sword flew from his hand. Dark quickly looked back before skillfully avoiding gunshots. He stopped in the middle of the field behind Blitz and his team.

"Hold it right there, Dark!" Blitz said.

"Tch, should have figured this would happen." Dark murmured.

"You have no where to go!" Blitz said as his team surrounded Dark with their weapons aimed at him. Dark smiled slyly.

"Really now? You should know better by now. Gumball! Our fight isn't over yet! We will clash again! And this time, your friends won't help you!"* A hole formed under Dark and he fell through it leaving the team and Gumball in silence.

Note to readers: Those other stories that belong to me were my very first and will have a lot of grammatical errors. I plan to revamp them so if you get confused by the story, then ask me and I will tell you. They aren't going to be like TDWOG.
