...
Gumball Watterson was one day on his way to the void of the broken timeline where the great crossover team, the Toon Force, had previously destroyed their enemies' Time Drive after opening portals to other timelines a few months ago. He calmly stands by the Universe Portal Machine in the home base of the Toon Force, which is still in disarray from the previous devastating attack. Gumball himself is anime-styled like his mother while Bobert comes from a different timeline where the multiverse was oppressed by the Syndicate. His design had been altered, now having shoulder guards, sharper pinchers, two cannons on his back, and red/yellow highlights.
Gumball waiting at the portal in Jimmy's lab: Com'on, Bobert! I wanna see where you've come from!
Alt. Bobert walking up to GB: Alright. But I assure you, you will not find much other than the portals the Syndicate activated.
Gumball: Eh. That's ok. At least it's somewhere interesting. I've had to do cleanup duty for the past few days and now I wanna take a break! Lead the way.
Bobert hops in first before GB and the two of them land on a black concrete platform surrounded by nothing but a colorful space of blue to purple hues. The wreckage of the Time Drive cannon is still intact along with all the Time Portals from every direction.
Gumball: Oh man! You're right. This isn't much, but look at the black and white swirly things!
Alt. Bobert: Those are the Time Portals. (Turns to side) Ah! And there's your sibling.
Gumball turning to Bobert's direction: Huh?
On the other side of the platform is the adult version of Anais, Gumball's sister, who comes from the same timeline as Bobert. Only in her version, though still having great intellect, she has been through many years as ruler and snob claiming almost anything that isn't her's. But recently, she's been brought back to good.
Gumball: Hey Big Sis. What's up?
Alt. Anais: I've been thinking about this for a while. This whole space used to be my timeline, but now it's all been reset into your's. The Syndicate used to have control over everything in the multiverse, and I was part of them, so effective immediately, I declare this property as my own! (Grins with her teeth and holds white flag up)
Gumball: That's a white flag.
Alt. Anais: Yes.
Alt. Bobert examining two portals in front of him: I am detecting familiar readings from 2 of these portals. They both seem to have your type of patterns, Gumball.
Gumball: Oh sweet! Maybe there's someone in there just like me! (Steps near one of the portals) Every history's different, but it can't be that bad, right?
Alt. Anais: What on Earth do you think you're doing?
Gumball: I'm gonna take a peek at what's in there.
Alt. Anais: No way, bud. You know if Ma, Jimmy, or Danny were here, they'd say you'll just get yourself into trouble. (Squints) I'm not so easy either.
Gumball: Ah, relax you guys! (Puts head into portal) What's the worst that can- (Falls back) Dagh...!
Suddenly, a shorter greyish version of Gumball hops out the warp tunnel on all fours over the other GB. He's wearing no shirt, his fur is more wild, and his pupils seem to have shrunken down so much they look almost nonexistent. Both Anais and Bobert look at the alternate counterpart surprised at his look.
Alt. Anais: Woahoo!
Gumball: Uh… Hi?
Werecat Gumball howling: AAWOOOOOOOO! (Hops off Gumball's chest)
The obvious werecat version of Gumball runs off to the portal for the Toon Force H.Q. But just before he could enter, Bobert catches his leg with an outstretched hand and pulls him over to him.
Alt. Bobert: It appears to be a more feral version of you, Gumball. Only he's not a humanoid like you are.
Alt. Anais: But he sure is cute. Somehow I like the shirtless beastial look he got goin' on.
Gumball grabbing his feral self by the tail: Yeah, well, sometimes the originals are better, like your's truly. (Spin tosses Werecat) YEET!
Gumball's monster self falls through one of the time portals to his surprise.
Alt. Anais: Um...brother, are you sure that's the right one?
Gumball: I'm sure it is. Besides, if it wasn't, someone different would've popped out by now, right? I mean, he's smart. He can just run on out there and go back to the one he came.
Alt. Anais: If you call an animalistic you smart, whoever you are, you're not my brother.
Gumball: Look, if anything happens, we'll just come back and fix the problem. Besides, every other portal out here look like they're closing.
Alt. Bobert: On a scale of 1-10, how right do you think you are?
Gumball walking back to the lab portal: I'd give it a 5. Because if I'm right, we won't have to go through another 10-minute episode.
Alt. Anais: Lord, help you...
As the group leave the scene, the portal the Werecat Gumball was thrown in decreases its size by a few inches. He gets thrown out of it and back onto the surface in confusion. Seeing the trio leaving through the lab portal, he trots to it and enters quietly behind them undetected. But just as he does, another, much larger and monstrous version of Gumball appears from the same Time Portal eyeing the one for the Toon Force H.Q. when a mysterious red and black portal spawns just behind it...
The Next Day…
On a sunny morning, Gumball awakens in his usual white and red striped t-shirt getting up and stretching from his bed and observing the view of the outside of his bedroom window. "Elmore is looking fantastic today" he thinks, when in reality it's just a simulation by the Neutron Reality Projectors aligned in the walls. Immediately, when he opens the side door to the bathroom, the room phases back into its blank empty state. At the sink, Gumball grabs his toothbrush and toothpaste about to perform his morning routine when suddenly live footage of Nicole's pissed off face appears in front of him!
Nicole: Gumball-
Gumball dropping his stuff: AAGH! (Punches and shatters screen)
The glass of the monitor crashes to the floors exposing the camera projectors behind it; each labeled with initials "JN."
Nicole speaking through the speakers: As I was saying… Gumball Watterson I need you here at the UPM… Now.
Gumball: But I didn't even brush yet!
Alt. Anais speaking through the speakers: Oh honey, you look fabulous. Just hurry up! We've got a situation you're gonna handle!
VOX: Transmission Terminated
Gumball: So… If that was a monitor and those were the cameras…in the bathroom… (Shivers) Eeeugh..!
Outside on his way to the main lab, Gumball slips across the watery surface and onto the dome of his head when he collides with the wall next to the Universe Portal Machine. Beside it, Nicole quietly taps her foot with her arms crossed expecting an answer.
Gumball: Well that's new. I thought Jimmy's Mom already helped clean the floors.
Nicole: That's not soap for the floors, Son. That's your spit that you've been trailing while stomping all over the lab. Couldn't you see your bulbus paw prints engraved into the tiles?
Gumball: Mom, what're you talking about? That wasn't me! (Wiggles fingers) My hands and feet aren't even that big!
Alt. Anais: We know it's not exactly you. It's another version walking around. (Squints and smiles) And we all know why that is.
Gumball: ...Ok, I can explain.
Alt. Anais swaying her pointer finger around: Ah-ah-aaah. Not this time, bro. I asked if you could double check on throwing the cutsie you in the warp gate earlier, but you went and said "Nooooo." So, there's only one logical way for you to solve it.
Gumball: Oh, com'on! I'm sure another slobbery and larger version of me isn't that bad, right?
Outside at the local park, Bobert is hastily running away with a fresh steak in his claw and his jetpack ruptured. His pupil is visibly small enough to express raw fear from the grey werecat Gumball chasing him down. Bobert drops the steak when he gets near a bench and hides behind it just in time for the regular anime Gumball to arrive while the werecat stops and sniffs the food.
Gumball: Uh oh… It's him...er, me again! You ok, Bobert?
Alt. Bobert: My jetpack is ruptured.
Gumball: Good! He's not that bad afterall. Just, out there…
The werecat Gumball takes the time to sit down and eat steak trying to pull it apart as hard as he can and accidentally slapping himself in the face with it.
Alt. Bobert: That wasn't the Gumball who did it, Gumball. It was-
Right behind the two boys, a larger, more fluffy and menacing version of Gumball stands before them. He has long sharp fangs, grey horns from the top of his head, and spikes traveling down his back to his tail like a reptile. His paws are massive and have painfully sharp claws. His eyes are dark yellow, but spill with fury at its most raw.
Alt. Bobert: Him…
Yetteeth Gumball zooming close to the young men: ROOAAAAAAR!
Gumball charging two fireballs in his palms: NOPE! (Puts hands together) UAH!
Gumball shoots the combined energy balls like a single laser beam into the larger version of himself directly in the face! However, this only pushes his head over to the side with but a small scratch. He merely turns back around facing his other self even more angry at him than before.
Gumball: Uh oh...
Only one stomp on the ground is enough to scare Gumball and Bobert into making a swift run for it! As the two evade from the larger neko beast, the regular Werecat Gumball continues to gnaw on the piece of meat in his paws. He gets startled, however, when a bat version of Penny flies by him and circles around the Yetteeth cornering the other two. Quickly, she morphs into an armor of sorts, only appearing as a red and golden torso engulfed around the beast like a suit! It emits a distinct purple and yellow aura around him that quickly begins to drain his energy and reduce him back to Gumball's 4 ft height; albeit still with the horns and spikes from his body.
Dazed Yetteeth Gumball: Ugh…
Penny removing herself and coming back to form: Gumball! I've come here as fast as I could!
Gumball: Good thing too. That thing was about to tear my butt off and eat it with the other me!
Yetteeth Gumball angrily jumping at Gumball: BARK BARK!
Gumball hopping on a flagpole: AH! Get away, Catdog! Shoo!
Alt. Bobert: I have another salami leg from Jimmy's lab in handy.
Bobert takes another piece of food and tosses it near the lake. The monster Gumballs run past the robot and catch the food with their teeth as one. Quickly, Bobert deploys a special hardening net around them to keep the beasts tamed. After splitting the meat and swallowing both halves whole, the two werecats realize they've been duped and tug on the net!
Werecat Gumball tugging on the net: H-hey! Lemme outta here!
Yetteeth Gumball clawing the bars: Gagh!
Gumball: Nice work, guys. For once, I'm totally useless without you.
Penny: Ah, I couldn't have used my new armor ability without… Well… Ok, yeah. You're right.
Alt. Bobert: Now I must return to base for repairs. No damages were inflicted upon me from the less-aggressive-looking version of you, however.
Werecat Gumball: Well duh! What did you think I was gonna do? Bite you?! I mean, don't get me wrong. (Points thumb to Yetteeth) This guy sure will. But really, I just wanna eat.
Gumball: Wait, so you CAN talk?! Why didn't you say anything before? Earlier, you were chasing after Bob over meat. Now you're talkin' like I am!
Werecat Gumball: I can't help myself! I'm a Werecat for Mom's sake! This happens naturally!
Gumball: So you mean to tell me you'll be just as feral as any other animal until you decide not to?
Alt. Bobert: Need I remind you that there was a time where you and your Mother had become feral yourselves?
Gumball: Oh yeah. Last Halloween.
Penny: How did you two get here? And are there anymore who've escaped?
Yetteeth Gumball: Well…
Distant Roar: WHERE'S MY BABY BOY?!
Gumball turning to the bushes: Ah no! It's our pissed off Mom again!
Suddenly, Nicole rams through the shrubs. Only this time, it's not Toon Wars Nicole, but rather the Werecat version of her, down to only her dark grey shorts and undershirt.
Werecat Nicole happily wagging her tail: Found you!
Gumball: Oh… Not really pissed, but ok.
Werecat Gumball: Mom, can you tell them we're the good guys?
Werecat Nicole: I'll eat them if they don't remove you from that fence!
Nicole from behind: I don't think so.
Before the beastial Nicole turns around, the regular anime Nicole punches her square in the jaw, but her toes clench into the grass to keep her from flying into the air! She grabs her shocked counterpart by the sides and sprints with her in hand to the water stream at the edge of the park to toss her in. Drenched in the river, Nicole angrily swirls the water into a whirlpool while she strengthens herself with an aura. This doesn't scare her werecat self, however, as she wears a wild smile and takes a feline stance on all fours before pouncing on her opposite!
Gumball: Is it weird that I'm very entertained by this?
Werecat Gumball: No. It's like wrestling. You guys got anymore salami?
Yetteeth Gumball: (Licks lips)
Penny: Well, we do have more back home. So, I don't suppose we go and get some.
Alt. Anais stepping into the scene: As a matter of fact, you boys best come with us.
Gumball: Big Sis, where've you been?! I almost got devoured by my doggo self!
Alt. Anais: Like I said. It's your problem. You got yourself into this mess, now you're getting yourself out. And by the looks of it, I think you pretty much did it. (Wiggles fingers) Hey little bros.
Yetteeth and Werecat Gumballs staring at Anais' frame: O_O ...Hello!
In the distance at the park bridge, Nicole slams her werecat self through the concrete to the bottom into the water. She grabs the stone and tosses chunks of it back at her then proceeds to pounce on her again before she gets kicked and blasted away!
Gumball: Yeeeeah. You can have some food back at Jimmy's place. He won't mind since we gotta go back there anyway.
Yetteeth Gumball: Who's Jimmy?
Gumball: Some dude with a big whippy dip. But he's unimportant. Let's just get back inside before one of our Moms cause more collateral damage.
An entire 20 ft tree crashes near the group with a car falling down beside it in flames! Werecat Nicole tosses her anime counterpart to the sky.
Alt. Anais walking off: And you know what, I just realized. "Were" means man in "Werecat." And that's exactly what each of you regardless of the form.
All three Gumballs: GASP!
Werecat Gumball: You're blowin' my mind, sis!
Meanwhile, in the Toon Force H.Q. Cafeteria...
All three versions of Gumball along with Bobert sit at the empty cafeteria eating fresh food together.
Yetteeth Gumball swallowing a hot dog: Mighty nice, anime me!
Gumball: Thanks. This whole place got all sorts of technology to make whatever you want! Except for lasers, extinguishers, phones, How-to Books, Shirts, Shoes, blah-
Werecat Gumball: It can't make much except food, huh?
Gumball: Yep. Unless you're in our rooms. Yeah, these halls look like a prison with white paint, but the rooms are fantastic. I made mine look like ours back home!
Werecat Gumball: Wait, why do you say it like that? Don't you still live back at Elmore?
Gumball: Nope! Not until Jimmy Nutrition finds the coordinates again. We lost them when we first came here.
Yetteeth Gumball: Oh, so how long has it been since you've been gone?
Gumball: About a year.
Yetteeth Gumball spitting his drink: WHAT..?!
Werecat Gumball: You're still fine being out here?!
Gumball: Yeah, of course! Me, Mom, plus Bobert and our BIG sis.
Alt. Bobert: We come from a different timeline.
Gumball: And besides. Jimmy says chances are back home, nothing's changed cause time tends to move a lot slower for a planet in a completely different universe.
Yetteeth Gumball: I have NO idea what you just said.
Gumball: It's just a bunch of sciency stuff.
Werecat Gumball: Well, all I can say is, when I see Anais again, I'm not gonna be looking at her the same way anymore. She THICC in this future!
Yetteeth Gumball: Who else came here besides all those folks you brought up?
Gumball: Well there's Penny, Ms. Yoshida from that company Mom worked at… OH! And Rob, Darwin, and Anais were here for a bit before they went back home. Well...maybe not Rob. You guys have him around, right?
Yetteeth Gumball: Yeah, he helped me out once. Still had to pretend to be a dick. But he's pretty neat!
Werecat Gumball: He's still up to trying to be a villain where I am too. But our main concern is a hunter out trying to get us.
Yetteeth Gumball: Gee, you got it easy. The police got involved with me. Next thing you know, animal control is on my tail!
Gumball: HA! You guys think you got it bad?! Try having an entire army of robots and orange alien men invade your planet, capture all your friends and family, and then you find out you've got superpowers!
Yetteeth Gumball: …
Werecat Gumball: ...We're really weird.
Gumball and Yetteeth Gumball: Yeah...
Alt. Bobert: How did you two transform into the forms you're in now?
Werecat Gumball: Told ya outside. Inheritance.
Yetteeth Gumball: And I just got cursed. I think Penny's weird fusion armor thing brought my mind back so I don't go crazy like always. I tell ya. I take it rough back home. YOU have to fight a war though!
Gumball: Oh no. It pretty much died down months ago. That's why the base is a mess. Last thing we did was recruit several hundreds of people from other worlds, like the one where people use swords that aren't swords like a ladder and a sock. I forget what they call them, but hey, it's not uncommon for us.
Alt. Bobert: I have also spent the last 30 years of my life since the Disasteroid incident serving with Master Watterson under her rule of Elmore enforcing justice upon those who defy her majesty, the Syndicate, and Lord Aku…
Yetteeth Gumball: ...Deep.
Werecat Gumball: I'm guessing they're the villains in all this right? Where's Rob then? You said he was here.
Gumball sweating: …Well… Um… He's, uh…
Alt. Bobert: He has been eliminated by the Syndicate of this universe.
Gumball: Dude!
Alt. Bobert shrugging: What? You asked.
Yetteeth Gumball slouching in disappointment: Aaaw, gee guys. I'm sorry to hear that.
Gumball: It's ok. He really did like me like us all in the end. I'm just glad you've still got yours around! Plus you're still stuck with Darwin!
Werecat Gumball: Well… Not really. Mom and I really went savage and not cause we roasted the jamies outta everyone this time. So we kinda ran away for a few.
Alt. Bobert: And what of you, Yetteeth?
Yetteeth Gumball: Darwin doesn't usually leave me at all. But my mind goes so far it feels like I keep leaving him instead.
Gumball: Don't you guys wanna see your bro and sis again?
Yetteeth Gumball: Course we do!
Werecat Gumball: Yeah! It's just these transformations we keep having are ruining our lives 24/7!
Yetteeth Gumball: Like I said, even animal control and the police got involved with me at one point because of this curse! I'd be more than happy to have it lifted when I get back home! No matter how fluffy and cute I look!
Werecat Gumball: I know this thing with me is genetic like you and Mom, so I can't do anything about it. But I DO still wanna see D n' A again!
Yetteeth Gumball: And Pops!
Werecat Gumball: Oh shoot! I forgot about him too! Wish he were here, cause frankly, I'm beginning to think spending time with Mom is practically a curse in itself, cause every time we're with her, something goes wrong.
Gumball: Hey, cut her some slack. She's trying her best to protect us. That's all. Same with the rest of us here. I know it's not gonna be easy. And I know you don't wanna hurt any of your pals as much as I don't wanna see them die or be sacrificed like Rob.
Yetteeth Gumball snapping his fingers: But we've gotta get back home if we wanna have another chance at fixing all this, right?
Gumball: I was gonna say that we're crowded already. But yeah. That works too.
Werecat Gumball rising from his seat: Well I'm tired of waiting. I think we should do like Mom does and take action so no one comes after us again! But we need to get back home first.
Alt. Bobert: The only way to return is through the Universe Portal Machine in the central hub.
Yetteeth Gumball: Good! Let's get outta here before my beastly self comes back!
Gumball: And before something else bad happens. Mom dealing with Mom is one thing. But imagine even more of her showing up. Then it's a massacre!
Werecat Gumball: True, but what could possibly go wrong this time?
Intercom: GUMBALLS, LABORATORY, NOW!
Gumball: I had to ask…
Back through the time portal into the void realm, the three Gumballs along with Bobert find themselves among a crowd of hundreds of other versions of themselves big and small. Many of which are monsters. And others being distinct alterations of their already common appearance. Penny and Anais are standing at the center of attention being stared at by several regular Gumballs in default style but madly affectionate.
Alt. Anais: There you are! Brother 1, 2, and 3, come get us please! We were just at the lab an' out of nowhere these...these perverts show up!
Gumball: What..?! (Pushes a few Gumballs away) Get outta the way! Back!
Yetteeth Gumball hissing at a flirty Gumball: HISS!
Werecat Gumball getting his tail stroked by another Gumball: Back you demons! Back!
Gumball aiming energy balls around himself: Every lover, step away from the bunny and the golden fairy! AKA, my girlfriend!
Penny blushing and turning pink: Daaw…! You shouldn't have…
Gumball: What's going on here? How'd these versions of me get here?
Alt. Anais: From the portal containing over 3,000 fanfictions of GB x any family member we possibly have. Also including 4-year old me.
Gumball: UGH..! (Shoots energy beam in the sky) BEGONE, DEMONS!
Distant deep voice: Anais!
Suddenly, three more Gumballs appear hopping down from a portal behind them. A frankenstein looking combination of himself and Darwin, a purple black eyed and white-pupiled evil Gumball, as well as a fully grown adult wearing an armored gi and a stained headband.
Ninja Gumball (Extremely Creativity): Anais, we have closed as many portals as we could. But there's still many more being opened.
Gumball: Wait, who's this cool dude?!
Alt. Anais: Oh. This is you as a ninja. Right?
Ninja Gumball (Extremely Creativity): Yeah, you got it.
Gumball: Um… Why's there blood on your gi?
Ninja Gumball (Extremely Creativity): Um… Monster hunting. ...Y-yeah. (Swings sword around with fingers) I'm a pretty well-trained assassin after all.
Gumball: What about you?
Nightmare Gumball (Lilie-pucisse): I drink the blood of the innocent.
Gumball: Huh..?
Gumball (Eniko Forrest): My kinda guy.
Franken Darball: I'm you and Darwin. But, I'm ugly and I need a hug.
Yetteeth Gumball offering a hug: Aaw. Come here, you.
Alt. Anais: Are there any other Gumballs?
Ninja Gumball (Extremely Creativity): Of course. We also have Darball, Gumlee, Prince Gumball, Anaball, Zachball, Roball, Boball, DoodleBall, Gumcole, Darth Ball, GumGum, Ji-
Alt. Anais pulling her ears: ALRIGHT, I GET IT! Isn't there anyone out here who isn't any of those good or bad?
Distant Voice: THIS BIRD IS OUT OF CONTROL!
Alt. Anais winking and pointing: Folks, we have a winner! Anyway, what could possibly be bringing you all here and spawning all these portals now? It can't be just a mistake in the timestream.
Penny: Yeah, this whole place should've been contained months ago.
Alt. Bobert pointing to a certain black and red portal: I believe I have the answer for you.
The swirling vortex gets stronger and faster of a current, spewing waves of dust from inside like a sandstorm until a particularly purple humanoid wearing a black suit with red highlights creating an "X" across his face and body slowly levitates outside of it. He spawns his excessively large cannon with the same colors over the back of his left metallic grey arm with slightly more mass than his already muscular frame.
Strike: At last! I have found my way out of that timeline and destroyed the last of all powerful heroes!
Gumball: What the..?
Yetteeth Gumball growling: Who do you think you are?!
Strike: Huh..? (Turns to Gumballs) Oh. Somehow I completely ignored you guys. My apologies of course. Most of you don't know me since the last time we met, I froze you before those overrated "heroes" destroyed me. I am Strike. Destroyer of all warriors and manifestation of the wrongdoings of your universe.
Gumball: Mmmm, no. Not ringing a bell.
Strike: Remember a portal spawning in your locker one day?
Gumball: OH YEAH! That's right! Good one!
Strike: Thanks! It's a pretty neat trick I'm surprised someone like Rob didn't even try yet. But anyway, I'm here to destroy you all before I get back on my way to complete domination of all time. Of course, these histories must have their fair share of heroes too. But this time, I've come prepared.
Penny: What did you do to get here?
Strike: It's quite simple, really. The important thing is, I'm an entity. I exist with the universe, and it's cycle. But one day, something occurred to me. I could change. Instead of following my script, I simply did my own thing and outsmarted the four who tried to destroy me using the same technique I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I told them their purpose and turned them against one another until none were left to face me. Then I stole their essence like the rest I froze and used it to open a portal to the only world I hadn't checked. Samurai Jack.
Werecat Gumball: That's where we are before the Syndicate messed it up!
Strike: Precisely. I knew they had Time Portals, so I borrowed one. Aku let me use it since I'm not Jack. And now I'm here in this "Toon War" timeline. All that's left is traveling through these many time portals to find my next victims! And become a-
Penball rocketing with a kick: DODGE!
A merged Penball with Penny as the golden armor with wings kicks straight into Strike's abdomen, sending him far across the field of empty time portals with electricity starting to emerge from them!
Strike holding his stomach: Urgh… Ok. That's new. (Aims cannon and fires)
Penball leaps to his side, then above, then forward with a dash using his wings. He punches at Strike's joints rapidly, getting farther from the rest of the many versions of himself as he lays damage into the villain. He finishes his combo with a swift back kick into Strike's chin!
Strike stumbling: How can this be?! You're Gumball! You're not supposed to be like this! (Scans data pad) You're even stronger than the ones who've fought me before!
Penball: It's not all me. It's me, Penny, Bobert, Anais, and hundreds of other OC versions of me!
Every other Gumball: HEY!
Strike: That won't matter when I take out each and every one of you the same way I did the squirt, the tall square afro who sings a lot, and the two crappy reboots!
Alt. Bobert pointing forward: Gumballs, ATTACK!
Strike shoots his cannon again and manages to turn two regular Gumballs into stone. But the Ninja Gumball hops above the blast and severs the gun's barrel with his katana. Werecat Gumball and Yetteeth Gumball bite down Strike's legs while the Frankenball scares him by making scary faces. Two of the purple Gumballs fire a double laser at Strike's back into the floor. He struggles to raise himself in front of Anais' legs.
Alt. Anais: You're not even worth my wealth! (Kicks Strike away)
Strike landing against a boulder: Dugh..! (Points) You leave me no choice but to- (Gets blasted into the floor) AAGH!
Bobert keeps Strike pinned with his twin super laser on his back! Suddenly, however, Strike harnesses his inner power and blows back the beam with pink energy! He jumps up like a rocket towards the android, when out of nowhere, a fully grown Yetteeth slams him back down with a smack from his paw!
Yetteeth: RAAAAAWR!
Penball: Hey hey! It's BIG GUMBUS!
Werecat Gumball runs on all fours to Strike by his right arm chomping down on it with his teeth.
Strike: Agh!
The titanic Yetteeth stomps his massive paw into both Strike's legs, and both Nightmareball and Penball hold his left metal hand down before suddenly, Ninja Gumball slices off the cyborg arm by the shoulder!
Strike: GAAAH! (Looks at stump) Guugh..!
Gumball defusing from Penny: Woah! Dude!
Ninja Gumball (Extremely Creativity): What? He was gonna kill us.
Strike slouching to his right: Urrgh..! What...What are you..? None of you are anything like how you were scripted! I'm an anomaly. I can't be defeated by someone as fragile as you!
Penny: Maybe we're not so fragile.
Gumball: I dunno what script mumbo jumbo you're talking about, but that doesn't matter. You said you broke a loop, and you're still being a bad guy! So why don't you quit the act and finally do something good for once?
Werecat Gumball: Yeah. And you don't even have any motivation other than "destroy." Wouldn't you wanna go out there and see what kinda worlds you could explore instead of just freezing them to death the minute you see anyone?
Strike looking enlightened: ...Wow. For once, someone spoke like a true hero. Actually, I never really did fight any heroes come to think of it. I guess I was being the villain of my own story. I was still playing our channel's mistake. I'll fix this.
Gumball: You're gonna free everyone you froze?
Strike: Yes.
Gumball: You're gonna make sure everyone here goes back home safely?
Strike: Yes. I will stay and bring everyone of you back. But seriously, man. (Picks up metal arm) Don't you ever speak to me, my metal arm, or my arm cannon ever again! You're all crazy!
Werecat Gumball: Oh, no. Not really. Our moms haven't shown up yet.
Strike curling into a ball: PLEASE DON'T!
Werecat Gumball: Naah! I'm just messin' with ya.
Gumball: Wait… Shoot! MOM!
Back in Retroville Park, both Nicole and Werecat Nicole lay in an ashy crater in the middle of the field on their backs after sustaining heavy damage from each other's attacks.
Nicole: ...Can we take 5?
Werecat Nicole: Yeah... Yeah, I think we should...
30 minutes later...
Strike sends a bat-looking Gumball through a time portal and shuts it with his cannon.
Strike: Ok. That's all the ones I remember. Now it's time to send you all back where you came through the last time portals.
Nicole: Thank heavens for that. As for you, sons of my other selves, you'd better get back home too. Seems like you've got a story to finish yourself.
Werecat Gumball: Roger Dodger!
Yetteeth Gumball: Sorry for the mess, regular me!
Gumball: Ah don't worry about it. We were just cleaning up before you came anyway. Just take care, capish?
Both Monster Gumballs: Capish!
Werecat Nicole: Bye Son! Bye daughter! I'll never forget how much you've grown! You've made your mother proud!
Alt. Anais: Yes yes. Now get outta here! You don't have much time!
Werecat Gumball: Right! Let's go Mom! (Hops into 3rd time portal)
Werecat Nicole: Not so fast, pup! (Hops behind Werecat Gumball)
The 3rd portal closes, and the Yetteeth Gumball hops into the 2nd before it too collapses, leaving only Strike's special red and black one available.
Strike: Gumball...I'm sorry. Fighting all those versions of you was perhaps the best thing that could ever happen to me. I'd never have that experience anywhere else. And I thank you.
Gumball: No problem, Strike. Now lift yourself.
Strike T-Poses and hops backwards into his own time portal as it shuts behind him and explodes into a small ball of light.
Alt. Anais: Well, I think that's enough fun for today. And just in time for dinner!
Nicole: Oh yeah! I forgot. Was too busy fighting earlier.
Gumball: I'm just relieved we'll never have to experience anything like that again. And we redeemed a baddy for once!
Nicole: It's your charm, son. You actually think about people. Think of how you got Penny here.
Penny: Yeah, Gumball. That was really sweet of you to redeem Strike like that.
Gumball: Thanks. But, I just hope those other me's do ok. Guess I'm not the only one who has a story to tell.
As Gumball and co. look on at the purple and pink hues of the time space, Penny kisses Gumball on the cheek while the rest exit to base. As Gumball looks on, he thinks about the two versions of himself he met, still concerned for them and all the rest. But he's confident that for whatever trouble comes their way, they'll make it. As will he…
…
…
…
Somewhere in a dark place ruined and burning in flames, warped, and unidentifiable, Gumball's arm rests over the ashy dirt beneath him from the rubble among the fire. The sky is pitch black with a spanning white halo covering the center of it, looming down like an eye. As the smoke builds up, Penny, morphed into a mouse, comes running to Gumball's rescue while a distant scream of a man echoes across the ruins…
The End...
