Hey guys. Its me, again. Sorry it took so long. I had a busy day. Here it is. This is an awesome chapter. This is where they go on their first mission. Enjoy.
Chapter 9: Special Assignment.
Gumball stood there in his bed as he think back about the things that happened this week. Monday, he had it all. A great girlfriend, great friends and great family. That's soon all change when one little mischief that he didn't mean to cause everything to be fallen out like a tree, whose leaves are fallen out one by one. Tuesday, he was ignored by his family. Wednesday, he just lost his girlfriend, the entire school hates him and not to mention got detention for yelling at the cheerleaders. Yesterday, it was the same thing again, but this time it was a lot worst. Everyone was throwing dodgeballs at him, with no one by his side. Of course, it wasn't all bad. Gumball have just become a new member for The City Watchers Program. Gumball got out of his bed and look himself in the mirror. He was wearing the same black uniform the other members were wearing. After finally joined into a club, well, it's not like a club, but he's in something, Alex was able to give him two things after the initiation: The mask and the black uniform. Gumball looked himself wearing the black uniform in the mirror right before putting on the mask. Now, he looked like he's ready to make a difference. On his chest, there stood the same symbol of the eye and inside it was the number seven. He looked great wearing that, then his mother yelled from downstairs.
"Gumball, you'll be late for school!"
Gumball quickly took off his mask and put on his regular clothes underneath the black uniform. He then put the mask inside the backpack and dashed his way downstairs, where he was waited by his sister and brother.
Anais said, frowning "Took you long enough."
Still angry. Though Gumball. Why do I even bother?
After saying goodbyes to their parents, the siblings traveled to the bus stop. They stopped at the bus stop. Gumball felt his body a bit hurt from the dodgeball game yesterday. He think back about he came home and joined his family for dinner. Gumball tried to ignore the pain from his family, so they wouldn't freak out about this. He already cause them enough pain. However, Nicole notice one bruise at Gumball's arm. She looked shocked about this. She demanded to know what happened. She guessed that Gumball got into another fight at school. Gumball looked at Darwin, who was participating the "Throw Dodgeballs at Gumball to Death" yesterday at the gym along with everyone else. He still couldn't believe that his own brother will do this to him. Of course he will do this to him. He just said that he was no longer his brother or friend to him. Gumball thought it was a figure a speech, as if he doesn't know what that meant, but he didn't realized it to be true. Gumball wanted to tell them that everyone throw dodgeballs at him, including Darwin, but he didn't want his former friend/brother to be more mad than before. Beside he didn't see who it was; he had his eyes close the whole time before the throwing. So he lied by saying that he fall down the stairs a couple of times.
At school, after receiving the death stares from everyone like always, Gumball sat in his desk while listening to Miss Simian's boring lessons, while, being stare at once again by everyone and throwing paper balls at him. Gumball just ignore it so he can wait for the bell to ring, everyone will leave the class, Miss Simian will ask him to throw away the paper balls and he will marched down to the lunchroom, where he'll be alone just like always. Whenever fate has in store for the blue cat after yesterday and the day before that. After the same thing he just thought of just now, Gumball makes his way to the lunchroom, but then he stopped. He didn't feel like eating without having someone to talk to. So he just stand in front of the lockers and slide down in a sad manner.
He said to himself "Oh, well, at least I won't be bother by anyone else."
Suddenly something tugged his sweater collar that made him dragged quickly to the other side of the hallway and being pinned against the lockers.
Gumball shouted with his eyes closed "Oh, can't you go a day without harassing me?!"
His answer was soon spoken. Not a punch or a familiar voice that belong to his ex-girlfriend, former friends, or family member, but a sweet familiar voice.
"Okay, then I won't tell you about the assignment."
Gumball then recognizes that voice; he open his eyes and found that it was Lana. Gumball soon becomes lost in the fox's scarlet eyes. It was like a hypnotic spell for him. Lana asked "Gumball, you all right?"
Gumball snapped out of her daze and stuttered "Uh, yeah. I'm find. Sorry about that there. I just thought you were someone that I used to know."
Lana asked with an eyebrow rise "And who that "somebody" might be, you ex-girlfriend?"
Gumball nervously laugh and blush at the same time. "I don't think Penny will tried anything like that on me."
Lana rolled her eyes as she smiled before asking "Are you ready?"
"For what?"
"Duh! For our first assignment!"
Gumball's eyes widen. Our first assignment. Thought Gumball. Already? After becoming a new member? Wow. Time fly fast. He said "Really? Already? I haven't got the time-"
"No time! Come on, they're waiting for us at the back!" Lana then took Gumball's hand and both of them ran to the back of the school. They climb down the stairs and exit the school through the back door. They see a white van parked outside the school before going to the back of the van. Lana knock on the door three times and the back door open wide, revealing the members of The City Watchers Program, wearing their black uniform and mask. Lana took off her clothes, which made Gumball blushed, but stopped blushing when he sees her wearing her black uniform as well. Gumball was looking at her, staring at her beauty and showing her heavily curves. Gumball blushed even more than before and try not looking at her body. He was feeling something that he once felt with he first lay eyes on Penny.
Jack snapped "Hey! Get your head out of the clouds man and hurry!"
Gumball snapped back from reality and quickly changed his clothes to his black uniform. He then put his regular clothes in his backpack and goes into the van. He said as he was putting on the mask "Okay. I'm ready!"
"Let's do it!"
The driver, who happens to be Alex, turn on the engine and drives to their first assignment.
Their van ended in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The members of The City Watchers Program got out of their van and walked to one of the houses.
As they were walking, Gumball asked "So, what's this assignment are we doing?"
Alex explained "We just had call out for a D.D."
"D.D?"
Arnold translated "That stand for "Domestic Disturbance."
"Oh."
"We just had that call moments ago." Alex continued. "According to the radar back at the tower, we had heard some complains by the neighbors and they call the police. We manage to heard what they were saying by their police scanners."
Gumball asked "How did you do that?"
Alex answered "Simple. Jack, show him."
Gumball looked at Jack, who took out a walkie talkie from his pocket. Gumball was confuse by that. They picked up the information with that thing? He thought.
"I manage to convert this into device that will allow us to heard what the police are saying within a fifty mile radius." Continued the panda.
"Whoa. So what you guys heard?"
"That there's a meth lab underneath the basement at that house we're going to. The police had search the whole house. Nothing. Not a single trace of a meth lab. That's when I got to heard a good signal from them that they hid the lab minutes before the police came. These guys are good of hiding it, until now."
They were almost there to the house. Jack asked "So, how do we do it, Alex? We used brute force?"
Alex answered "Not yet. First we politely say that if they have a meth lab here."
The rest of the members looked at him with a "You're joking, right?" look. Gumball asked in a tone "And what happens if they, oh, I don't know, tried to denied it?"
"Simple. We'll go to what Jack had said just now. Brute force."
Jack exclaimed with a fist pump "Hell, yeah!"
They stopped at the entrance of the door. They were getting ready for some action. It's what Gumball had waited this since he had first meet and join the group. He was getting ready to kick some ass, but discover only one problem. He notice that everyone have took out their weapons. Professor Webster was holding to the same bat that save Gumball's life. Lana was holding a staff. Jack was holding nunchucks. Arnold and his wife each got a baseball bat and a purse. The purse thing was sort of weird to Gumball. The only one that didn't had a weapon was Alex, neither did Gumball.
Gumball said "Wait. I don't have a weapon to used."
Alex asked "You didn't build one for yourself, didn't you?"
Gumball tried to explain of why didn't build one, but instead, Alex said "That's okay. Professor, give this kid a weapon."
Webster then took out another assemble bat and handed in to Gumball. "You're lucky I got a spare one for you, man, or else you without a weapon will be one bloody bath and we'll be one member short again." Remarked the panther.
Gumball inspected it with taking some few swings. Alex took a short breath and declared "Here we go." He knock on the door three times.
Inside the house were five rats working on a meth lab. They were wearing lab coats, lab goggles, and doctor masks to cover their mouths from the fumes of the unknown chemicals. They were mixing all kinds of chemicals and whatever they have created were drugs. They smell rotten onions that gone bad on a hot summer day like they haven't taken a shower in three days. They worn the same clothes that was smelled a lot worst than they are right now. Not to mention that the house they lived had let itself go. The food had gone bad in a day for leaving it out for too long. The interior was old and worn out like an old washcloth. The furniture was torn out and require stitching. Lots and lots of stitching. They were doing their work when they heard the door knock three times. The five rats were in alarmed.
One of them asked "Who's that? The cops?"
One goes over there and check who it was through the peephole. He turned his head to the other members and answered "It's some big dumb panda with six other people."
"Are they cops?"
"They don't looked like cops to me."
"Well, get rid of them!"
The one who was at the door grab a small pistol and put it on his back. The other four rats moved their equipment down the basement. He unlocked a few locks on the front door and open a bit as he pops his head out. He said in calm manner "Yes. Can I helped you?"
Alex politely greeted "Good evening, young man. We are here because we heard a disturbance at your home."
The rat nervously asked "And dare, may I asked, who was it?"
"It was anonymous." Answered the panda. "They said that you have a dog at your home."
The members right behind him were looking at each other in a weird expression. The rat answered "Well, you tell them that there's no dog in here."
"You sure? Because the neighbor said-"
"Well, they're wrong. Tell them that there's no dog in the basement." Answered the rat.
Alex then heard what he just said right now. He leaned it and said in a stern voice "They didn't say that there was a dog in your basement."
The rat later soon found out that he just made the biggest mistake of his life. He looked quickly to the left, the right and said "Coming, ma!" right before shutting the door.
Alex said to his members with a small smile "And that's how you know that the guy is lying."
Gumball asked "So now what?"
Alex then declared "This!" He then kick the door, which sent it open wide, breaking the locks by the panda's mighty kick. Gumball exclaimed with his wide eyes "Holy Crap!"
Alex stepped inside and said to the alarming rat members "Care to dance?"
One rat members pointed a gun onto his head, which he quickly grab it and hit him in the throat with an open hand, making him cough off blood before being punch by the panda. He then turned to his members, who were still outside, and said "You waiting for an invitation or something? Let's kick their asses!"
Soon, with a warcry, the members of the City Watchers Program went inside and went into action. The rat members throw their guns and fired at them. Arnold and Shannon faced one armed rat member. Arnold swing his baseball bat to disarmed him, not to mention breaking his hand. He was on his knees and now faced by Shannon, who was carrying a purse.
The rat with the broken hand scoffed "What you going to do, lady? Hit me with it? Go ahead and tried."
Shannon said with smile "Okay." She then swing it onto the rat's face with a mighty swing and, instead of standing there, the rat topple over to the ground.
Gumball was faced against one with a knife. The rat make a stab for it, but Gumball dodged it out of the way. He tried it again and again, no luck. Gumball swing the bat onto the rat's knees before going for the face.
Professor Webster saw this and yelled "There you go, man!" right before taking one by himself.
Soon three rat members came from the basement to saw what was going on, and learned what it was. An invasion. They draw their crowbars and run to them. Lana was finishing one with her staff by hitting him on the stomach and at the back of the head. Gumball saw something that caught his eye; one member was coming at Lana.
Gumball screamed "Lana, behind you!"
Lana quickly turn around and hit him in the groin with the end of her staff. The rat then falls down on the floor with both of his hands covering his manhood. She said "Thanks, Gumball!" before returning back to the fight.
Jack was facing two rats, one armed with a knife, the other with a crowbar. He spin his nunchucks and cried "Okay, which of you mick bastards wants a taste of me?" One with the knife came charging at him, then Jack swing his nunchucks on him in the head. The other one with the crowbar took his turn, but was defeated by Jack and his spinning nunchucks on the face.
Alex was facing one armed with a bat. The rat swing it onto the panda, but the panda took one step back right before the rat had swing it. Each time he did, Alex mockingly said like an umpire "Strike one. Strike two. Strike three. Four. Five. Come on, my grandma can do better than that."
"Oh, yeah? Let's see you can do it!"
"All right." Alex shrugged his shoulders. "Hand it over and let me show you how it's done."
The rat give the bat to Alex and once Alex grab it by his fury hands, he quickly swing onto the rat's face, knocking him done. He said with a smirk "Now that's how you swing a bat."
The members stopped fighting when they saw that every rat member had been defeated. Alex felt proud not for himself, but for the rest of the team. Then he heard the sound of the doorknob trying to open a door. Alex looked at his back, and found that the rat, who entered the door earlier and got knock out by Alex, was trying to open the basement door. Alex cleared his throat. The rat stopped and slowly turned his head onto the panda's face.
Alex smiled with a smug "Allow me to open that for you." Then he kick him so hard that it made him break the door with the rat's whole body, sending him falling down the stairs. The rest of the members looked at him without words. Alex and the members then went down the basement, where they found the rat on the floor and the meth lab.
Alex looked at the rat he just kick right now and remarked "Big place for a dog."
Soon each member grab all of the rats and handcuff them. Jack had made an anonymous call to the police. After that, the members got out of the house. Professor Webster notice that Alex was still there. He called out "Come on, Alex, we got to go!"
"In a minute," Alex said. "I'm leaving a little gift for the police." He place the gift on a small table before leaving the house. The gift that Alex had placed was a small card which the detail was all black and has the symbol of the eye, just like the ones on their uniform and mask. It also had the words "The City Watchers Program" just below the eye.
The rest of the members ran quickly to their white van. Alex started the engine and drive away from the scene. As they were driving, the rest of the members cheered about what had happened just now.
Jack yelled "Man, that was so awesome!"
Professor Webster yelled as well "Did you see me back there?! I was kicking ass!"
Arnold smiled, while wrapping his arms around his wife "Hey, what about us? We kick ass as much as you guys were!"
Lana shake her head negatively. "No, I think the guy who kick the most ass was Alex. Let's give it for him!" They clapped their hands and cheered loudly at the panda, who was driving.
Alex said, while driving "Let's not cheer not for me, but let's cheer to the guy who kick ass like me and to think he only joined in just now. Clapped for Gumball Watterson everyone!"
The members cheered at the young blue cat. Gumball smiled as a small blush appear on both of his cheeks "Hey, I wouldn't have done this without my weapon here." He was showing to everyone of the bat given by the professor.
Professor Webster corrected him "You mean my weapon. You wouldn't still be needed it, if I haven't given you my weapon. So I just saved your ass and deserve all the credit! Come on! Let me heard it!" The crowd cheered at the young professor. Gumball handed the bat back to Webster.
Alex shouted to the back "Hey, guys! It doesn't matter who kick ass by there, what matters is that we just expose a meth lab to a quiet neighborhood. So let's cheered on that." The members then resume cheering again.
They drive back to the back of the school. Four people came out of the van; Professor Webster, Lana, Jack and Gumball. All of them were wearing their regular clothes.
Alex said to them at his car "You all did a good job by there. And Gumball? Not bad on your first assignment."
Gumball smiled "Thank you, Alex."
"But next time, come off with some ideas that brain of yours can think of. Also, make your own weapon. You won't be using Paul's bat."
Professor Webster sweetly replied as he was holding the bat in his hands "That's right! It's my baby and my lady."
"See you around, guys." The panda said right before the parents closed the back van and drive away. As they were gone, the four people heard the bell ringed.
Jack remarked "Saved by the bell."
Professor Webster added "And just in time for my class. Come on, let's go, guys!"
The four of them then went inside the school and headed for Professor Webster's English Class just as the rest of the class had shown up. They acted as if nothing has happened to them, but inside the minds of those four people, something did happened. Just now.
So how did you guys liked it? It was epic and funny at the same time. This is the only chapter I had posted this day. I will be posting the next one tomorrow. Nite Owl out.
