Ch. 7 The Star of Gaylord Robinson


"Oh, Gumball, it's so cute!" Penny said hugging the stuffed tiger. Gumball rubbed the back of his neck with embarassment.

"Well, I just wanted to say sorry for making you worry so much." Gumball said. Penny kissed him on the forehead.

"Thanks, Gumball." she said.

"Oh, Mom. I didn't forget about you." Gumball said handing her the stuffed dinosaur. Nicole looked at it, dumbfounded.

"It's... err..." NIcole began. Gumball looked at her hopefully. Nicole smiled and hugged him. "It's a great gift, sweetie." she said.

"I knew you would like it." Gumball said proudly. He went over to Carrie. "How's he doing?" Gumball asked.

"He's a ghost. He'll be fine." Carrie said.

"Gumball, Darwin. I need you to come look at this." The doughnut officer said. Gumball and Darwin walked into the monitor room. "Isn't that a classmate of yours?" the officer asked. Gumball and Darwin took a look on the monitor. The monitor they were looking at was in the school's auditorium. They saw a small white little robot sitting in the middle of the stage.

"What's Bobert doing there?" Darwin asked. Gumball looked closer.

"Hey, it is Bobert. And it looks like he isn't moving." Gumball said.

"Probably he shut down?" Darwin exclaimed.

"Maybe... Let's go check it out." Gumball said.

"Oh no your not." The officer said. "It's still dangerous out there."

"Pfft, hello, he's in the auditorium. We arn't going outside." Gumball said questoning the officers judgement. The officer looked at him.

"Alright... this is why I lock up juveniles like you. Your so tricky." he said. He walked over and opened the school's basement door. The dark hallways of the school fell before them. "Good luck, and get back here before 9 P.M. That's when i lock this door down." With this, he closed the door behind them. Gumball and Darwin made their way to the auditorium doors. After so many twists and turns, they finally found it.

"Alright buddy, let's go in and save Bobert!" Gumball said. He went to opent the doors then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Darwin asked. Gumball put an ear up to the door. He could hear the faint voice of someone talking.

"I think someone is infront of the door." Gumball whispered to Darwin. Gumball unsheathed his claws on his right hand and carefully opened the door. He yelped and stumbled back as a skeletal corpse fell forward. Laughter soon followed.

"You should have seen the look on your face!" Carrie said floating from the ground, laughing.

"Carrie! We are on a job right now, this is no time to be joking around!" Gumball complained. Carrie hovered past them.

"Oh, Gumball. Lighten up. Sometimes, having a good time can make all your troubles disappear." Carrie said floating with her hands behind her head. Gumball and Darwin exchanged glances.

"Carrie, are you okay?" Gumball asked.

"I'm perfectly fine, Gumball. Why you ask?" she grinned slyly.

"Well... it's just that you have been more pranking and happy. Your not being your miserable self." Gumball said. Carrie chuckled.

"Gumball, these past four days, I've been feeling free. Like I don't give a care about anything or anyone anymore." she said doing flips and twirls gracefully as she spoke.

"Is it because that everything that happened these past four days make you feel-" Gumball began.

"Alive?" Carrie laughed. "Oh, Gumball. Clueless as ever." she floated past them and flew around the auditorium. Gumball and Darwin made their way to the stage and up to Bobert. Darwin was right. He was shut off. Gumball hit the power button on his head and Bobert came to life.

"Bobert, you alright?" Gumball asked. Bobert stared at him.

"Define "alright"." Bobert said.

"you know, as in are you okay?" Gumball said.

"He's perfectly fine." a voice said. Gumball recognized it. They turned and saw non other then Gaylord Robinson himself. Rocky stood next to him.

"Sup, dudes?" Rocky said.

"Mr. Robinson? What are you doing here?" Gumball asked.

"What are you, stupid? I'm one of the survivors that made it." Mr. Robinson said. Mr. Robinson stood in his dance attire.

"Umm... Mr. Robinson. Why are you dressed like that?" Darwin asked. Mr. Robinson spun on his heel and struck a pose.

"It's for my performance! I'm gonna be Elmore's top entertainer, now that the competition has been eaten by those... things." Mr. Robinson said.

"Now that's a terriable thing to say." Gumball said. Mr. Robinson laughed.

"Watterson, won't you and your little friend here be so kind as to stay aroundvand help with my performance?" he asked them. Gumball became star struck.

"You know I would love too!" Gumball giddingly said. Mr. Robinson put on his stubborn smile.

"Good." he pulled out a remote and pressed a button. Gumball and Darwin were covered in effect smoke. They caughed as it got into their lungs. Darwin was pulled away from him, yelling.

"Darwin!" Gumball couched. He suddenly felt weak of air and something soft covered his mouth. His vision began to fade. 'Dar...win...' Gumball thought about his friend. He blacked out.


The purple masked cat stood ontop of the school's roof. She watched as the shadows scoured the area for food. Her gaze fell onto a red spot in the group. Flint was making his way to the school. She jumped down and unsheated her claws, landing in front of the school. Flint stopped and grinned.

"Hello, Ayann." Flint said.

"Master Flint, you must return to our era. It's forbidden to be in other eras." Ayann said. Flint pulled out the tablet.

"I can't... not until I have my revenge." Flint gloomly said.

"Then I have no choice." Ayann said crouching low and ready to attack.

"Ayann..." Flint said sadly. Then his expression changed to determination. "Then you leave me no choice also." Flint unsheathed his claws. They clashed.


Gumball groggingly woke up. "Ugh... my head..." Gumball tried to get up, but something stopped him. He looked at his hands. They were tied to the arms of the seats. He saw Darwin to his left. "Darwin... psst, Darwin!" Gumball said. Darwin slowly regained conciousness.

"Gumball...?" Darwin groggingly looked around for his friend.

"I'm right here, dude." Gumball said. Darwin smiled.

"Gumball, you're okay!" Gumball's best friend said excitedly. He tried to move in for a hug. But the ropes on his fins kept him from doing so.

"Well, kids? Are you ready to be blown?" Mr. Robinson said stepping under the spot light.

"Good luck, Dad!" Rocky said from the side of the stage. Bobert walked up and began to play a melody on his audio drive. Mr. Robinson began to sway and spin. Almost like a ballerina.

"Ugh, and your a fan of this guy?" a voice said next to Gumball. They looked to see Carrie floating above the chair.

"Carrie?" Gumball was surprised.

"The one and only." Carrie said.

"Well, don't just sit there, help us out." Gumball asked her trying to loosen the ropes.

"I could, but I actually like to see you tied up." Carrie grinned slyly. Gumball stared at her confusedly.

"Look, just please help us get Mr. Robinson back to his senses." Gumball said shrugging off the coment Carrie made. Carrie sighed.

"Fine." Carrie untied them and flew over to the right of the stage. She flew through the curtian and saw a lever.

"Bingo." she said to herself. She flew to it and pushed it. Gumball and Darwin watched from the seats as a little platform was lowered, Mr. Robinson didn't seem to notice it. He just kept singing and dancing. The platform soon caught Mr. Robinson under it. He struggled to get out, but the platform broke his legs with a crack. Carrie shut the platform off. Gumball, Darwin, Bobert, Rocky and Carrie walked over to the crushed Robinson.

"Will he be okay?" Rocky asked.

"Well, I did hear the sound of bones being broken... Yeah, he'll be fine." Carrie said. Gumball and Darwin pulled him out of the platform. Mr. Robinson yelled in pain.

"I'm out of the picture am I?" Mr. Robinson said. Gumball shook his head.

"Your just getting started." Gumball said.


Ayann flew back into a tree. She fell with a thud. Flint breathed heavily from the fight.

"You and Steel are the only ones... who can match my speed and stregnth." Flint breathed. Ayann painfully stood up.

"Master Steel?" Ayann asked surprised. Flint nodded.

"He's in this era alright. And I won't stop untill I find him." Flint said. "I think it's time to end this!" Flint held out his hand and the shadow creatures began to morph. The mass grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger till the mass was 80 ft in width and heigth. A giant massive eye formed in the middle. It's eyes found Ayann. The split in half, showing teeth. It roared and charged at Ayann.


Well, a cliffhanger. That's new to my writing. Anyway, we have learned alot more about the mysterious ninja cat and the twisted Flint. This, I hope, can make up for the rushed ending of chapter 6. Happy Thanksgiving, Readers. ;)
