By a land slide of popular demand. The chosen Watterson family. I have also been getting Gum/Tina questions. It is not nice to spoil.
Good or Evil
Waking up in his living room Gumball couldn't be more surprised. His leg and arms were stitched up and his suit was missing. Trying to sit up didn't even prove to be difficult. It did sting. Seeing the moon told him it was late. Looking at his watch confirmed it. Midnight
"He's up he's up" came the cry from his brother.
In seconds everyone was crowding him around staring in concern. This made Gumball feel very uneasy. Why are they looking at me like that?
"Gumball" Nicole started "How are you feeling?"
Like you care. See the distrusting look on his face she reached for him. It hurt when he leaned away her she like she was the devil.
"Gumball there is something we need to tell you." Started Richard
"I don't want to hear it" stated Gumball
The tone in his voice had only one obvious meaning toward them. It wasn't the tone of someone who didn't care about them. It was the tone of someone who hated them.
Standing up he looked around the room. He saw his bowie knife on the table and reached for it. He just didn't feel the same without it.
Unsheathing it there was a strange sensation. He felt his heart pounding as he became aware of his surroundings. There was gunfire in the background, even if he knew that wasn't true. Every part of his body seemed to yearn for something. It screamed for it.
There was a smile creeping to his face and a chuckle building in his throat. Looking back at his family he saw them slowly back away. The fear in their eyes was like a drug. And he was the addict. Taking a step back, they on only increased the dosage.
"Stand down" came a commanding voice "There are no enemies here soldier."
Something in Gumball made him stop. He wanted to press on but orders are orders. Sheathing his knife he turned to the voice.
Granny Jojo
Looking at her brought back what happened at the buffet. The memories of what those criminals tried to do. What they did to Tina. What he did to them. How he loved every second of it.
Tina
He felt it coming back. Falling to his knees he felt it all come back. They emotional drain of it all. The betrayal and the loss were the worst of it all. It was all too much for Gumball to handle at once.
Granny Jojo seeing all this was the first to act. Fetching a trash bucket she handed it to Gumball. Letting it all out was painful but he did it. The bile and tears were burning as the fell. The trash can was full in only moments.
Once he was done they sat there in complete silence. Great I let out what I didn't even have in me. After taking a moment to get himself right he stood.
"Alright Gummy puss" started Nicole "We need to explain some things to you."
"No thanks" Standing up he felt better and worse. "I need to talk to Tina's dad" And tell him why she's…
"She's okay" spoke Darwin "She's in the hospital." Seeing his worry he added. "She was patched up but needs to stay the night."
The relief Gumball felt was matched by no other. He felt his broken heart mend itself back up.
"Gumball we need to talk" Nicole tried again. "about today or rather yesterday."
"No thanks" Stated Gumball.
"We didn't forget" tried Anais "We remembered it was your birthday."
Anger started to well up inside him. If they didn't forget then why did they act like it? Why did they care more for Darwin?
"Soldier" Started granny Jojo "Let them speak"
With no choice he just grumbled a 'fine'.
"The thing is Gummy puss" Nicole tried thoughtfully. "We needed to break you."
What
No matter how badly he wanted to disobey he couldn't. Something in him wouldn't let him disobey a direct order. "We were going to take a month but…"
"Well the thing is we needed the Flipqy in you." She started. Why does that sound so familiar? "Now I'm sure you know about the war." He nodded. "Well you've been drafted."
What?
"Well not you specifically" started Richard starring pretty hard at the ground. "But a Watterson must enter." Looking at Anais, she nodded. Running upstairs she came back with a letter. Handing it to Gumball
The paper read
Dear Watterson
As you may well know the war we are currently in is a large one. It is not one for possession or money. It is a war for freedom and our right to exist. We are sorry to inform you that the age for acceptable soldiers has dropped. Anyone of willing consent 13 and up is needed. We are sorry to inform you that your family is to join the cause. Only one is needed from your family. Failure to consent will be considered treason. This will result in immediate prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.
"What does this have to do with me?" Like I don't already know.
"We need you to fight." Stated Granny Jojo. "The rest can't because…"
Pointing to Anais "She's too young."
Nicole "She supports the family."
To Darwin "He's registered as a pet fish and even then he's too young."
Richard "He is just a no"
Pointing toward herself "and I'm too old"
"You see if you don't then dad will go" started a crying Anais "and he'd end up dead."
"And I won't?" questioned Gumball "I just turned thirteen."
"Nicole" started Richard "If he doesn't consent…"
"Yeah" stated granny "then you are off to fight."
"Gumball with your awakened blood you have the…"
"What do you mean awakened blood?" he asked cutting her off.
This time it was granny Jojo who stepped forward. She motioned for all present to sit.
"You all know about Flippy from the Ka-Pow war right?" Not waiting for a response she continued. "Do you know that he suffered from PTSD?" No response. "In fact it runs in the blood."
"Gumball his blood flow in you stronger than anyone else here. You are so much like him. You have the biggest chance of returning from this." Leaning forward she continued "In your blood is that of a soldier. Why do you think you feel un-comfortable without your gear? Why you loved the thrill of battle so much?"
Gumball had no response.
"There is the off chance your bettered controlled than he was." This got a few stars. "When he flipped he attacked any and everyone in the area. You flipped but went for the threat."
"That's why we had to break you" started Anais "So you could…flip out."
"Wait so the whole robbery…?" he let the question hang. Tina
"That was a complete coincident but it helped push you over the edge." Stated Darwin "and no one was hurt."
That comment did not go well with Gumball.
"No one was hurt?" he snarled "I was shot three times, I-I…k-killed four men and a Tina was shot down"
That shut Darwin up.
"Actually you killed five, the one they left behind died of fear a moment or two after you fainted." Oh God.
"Gumball" Nicole decided to try again "You were fighting all those men as if you were born to do it." She reasoned "That only proves you're capable of succeeding."
"None of you have any faith in dad to support us if mom went to fight?" That was met with blank stares. Even from Richard.
Even I know that was a dumb question.
"Well… have any of you tried to flip him out instead of me."
"Yeah, we failed miserably."
"How are the cops not involved?" seriously "I slaughtered people"
"It was taken care of while you slept. Saving the day gave you a bit of pardon if you will."
Not wanting to give up Nicole stepped forward. Gumball cut her off.
"What kind of mother are you?" he asked "You try to make your son flip out and then ask him to join a war." That hit deep.
"I…want the highest chance of having this family whole." It was obvious she wasn't done. "Please Gumball, you're this family's hope."
.

.
"I-I" they leaned in "I can't" he sighed in defeat. "I can't do it, I'm sorry.
"No I'm sorry it was too much to ask of my son" Stated Richard "I'll prepare to leave by the end of the week." That was the only time he or anyone saw that look in Richard.
With that everyone just stood in silence before going to bed.
