I don't own anything

A FIGHTER

The trip to school was uneventful for Gumball. He was actually a little restless after so much…excitement.

There, I admit it. It was exciting.

One thing that bugged him was the stares he was getting. Darwin and Anais were avoiding looking at him. Everyone else seemed to stare as if he were…insane…

Crap

Ignoring them he just kept his eyes on the beret he had stuffed in his bag. He would occasionally finger the knife in his bag.

School was in range by time he felt he couldn't stand the stares any more. Placing his beret on, rushed inside, he had someone to find. Placing his bag in his locker he checked his watch. Five minutes to spare.

I need to find her and apologize.

Looking around frantically he couldn't find her. He was so desperate he never noticed the student jump away from him.

They told me she'd be here, how hard is it to find a T-REX?

"Hey Gummy PUSS" Came a taunting voice from behind.

Please, not now

It was Tobias and Banana Joe. They were a rainbow lass and living banana.

They were sort of Gumball's on and off friends with for awhile. It ended because Banana Joe's jokes were too creepy and hurtful. Tobias' ego could fill the school, thinking he was physically fit.

"Yes" He spoke hurriedly

"What's the rush Gummy" started Joe "looking for a T-REX to get chummy?"

"Do you know were Tina is" Come on, we have less than three minutes.

"Maybe we do maybe we don't" answered Tobias "Do you know how to fill my wallet"

Always trying to make a quick buck

"I don't have time for this" trying to walk by but they blocked his path. "Let me through" He ordered.

"Oh looks like someone thinks their hot stuff." Commented Tobias "Just because you took down some people doesn't make you a hotshot." He said jabbing Gumball a bit.

"I don't think i… how do you know about that" Asked a now nervous Gumball.

Tobias only put on a smug smile and pulled out his phone. On it was a video of him laughing him…ending the thieves.

Crap, if he knows who else does?

Looking around, he saw the fearful look on everyone's faces. It was obvious a lot of people had seen the video. From the looks of it some were watching it on Bobert.

"Did you really think no one would see that" asked Banana Joe

Kind of

"Gumball?" he heard a rough feminine voice. But to him it sounded like an angel.

"Tina" he exclaimed "You're okay" he sighed in relief. "I almost had a heart attack" he walked to her "and trying to find you wasn't easy"

As he walked to her he completely forgot about everyone else and ignored the ringing bell. His path was blocked by Jamie and Carrie. Jamie was missing her usual smirk and Carrie was smiling like she had won the lottery. It was very strange to see them play opposites. What shocked him most was the bag in Carrie's hand. I put that in my locker already

"Um can I have my bag" Forget the bag I want my knife. "and get to Tina"

Carrie tossed the bag to his feet. When he went to pick it up he was introduced to a foot to the face. The force behind it knocked him to his back.

"Why does it smell like death?" asked Carrie

Something in him started to stir from that attack. It was yelling at him for letting his guard down, and telling him to get revenge. It took everything in him to keep from listening. I'm Gumball not a soldier. As he sat up he saw it was delivered by Jamie.

"What was that for?" he was confused "I thought we were neutral" Being friends with Tina has kept her off my back until now.

"That was until you got her shot" she barked "What did you do about that?"

Now Tobias was laughing as if he was told the funniest joke. Banana Joe was right along with him. Pulling his phone back out, he showed her the slaughter. She was greener than usual afterward. She now had that fearful look in her eyes as well

"I guess I can't say you didn't do anything." She said with a small, small smile.

Before he could give one of his own he was knocked back down. This time it was by Tobias.

"He still the little wuss he's always been" he said "where's all that laughing now huh?"

Shouldn't everyone be in class?

Now everyone was looking at Tobias like he was crazy. He was attempting to anger someone who had killed five guys in the last twenty four hours. "Nice hat" He then picked up the beret and wore it. Shaking a bit he started dancing with a 'Hey look at me' attitude.

"Give my beret back" Gumball growled

"Make me" he retorted "Banana Joe, the works"

The banana then pulled out a large bag of something from behind one of the students. He then started to light them one at a time. He tossed them near Tobias who started to make guns with his hands shoot out.

"Pow" he shouted pointing a finger at the exploding fire cracker.

Like a gun.

He repeated this a few time before getting bored. Grabbing a small tangle of fireworks he lit them.

"What are you doing?" Gumball was making an effort not to flip out. Tobias and Banana Joe were making it difficult with the explosion. Angering Gumball was just adding that last straw to the camel's back.

"You'll see"

Quickly taking the hat he dropped the bundle inside.

Now Gumball was ticked. Running forward he tackled Tobias knocking the fireworks in two different directions. The hat landed on his head, the fireworks in Tina's face.

"Tina" he shouted not again.

It happened fast. They went off close to her eyes knocking her down. She fell with a massive roar of surprise. Stumbling back she fell down hard.

"Hahaha, look at that she…" he was cut off by a creepy chuckle.

"You know what?" Gumball asked "knife"

"Knife? Wha…" he cut himself off with a scream of pain.

No one saw him move. All they knew was that Tobias now had a knife in his shoulder. Looking at Gumball they saw his extended hand, five feet away. His book bag discarded at his feet. The thing that scared everyone the most was his laughter.

"What did you do?" Shouted Banana Joe "D-dude your eyes"

This caught every ones attention, even the laughing Gumball. Walking to the crying Tobias he ripped the knife out. Licking the blood of with a smile, to every ones disgust, he took a peek. His eyes were no longer black, they were an eerie green. His laughter seemed to become more amused.

"Sweet" he commented "but the knife looked better in blood" looking at Banana Joe he asked "want to help me with that?"

He felt someone come up from behind. He knew they meant him harm. And he let them do it. It was Tobias; he knocked Gumball in the back of his head. He actually managed to knock Gumball down. Banana taking this chance grabbed another tangle of fireworks lit them. Grabbing a smiling Gumballs head he shoved them in his mouth. They went of pretty loud. When it cleared his eyes were closed.

"Like a boss" Tobias shouted, holding his arm. "Looks like he and his silly hat couldn't handle me.

"Silly!" Standing up Gumball was unharmed. He actually looked bored and disappointed. Spitting on the ground he let out the fireworks remain and a trickle of blood. "Was that it?" he asked. From their shock he took it as a yes. Sighing in depression he just put his knife in his holster before strapping it to his side. "This hat is an authentic Ka-Pow trophy bathed in the blood of our enemies. No one calls this hat silly."

"I'm going to start beating you." He stated scaring everyone. "I don't know when I'll stop but first."

He quickly turned his attention to Tina. The green seemed to fade back to green.

"How are you?"

"Well…"
