(Well, the last chapter was pretty exciting. To me at least. I don't know what I type sometimes.

I do not own The Amazing World of Gumball.)

Nicole huffed as she prepared to lift the window frame, she hooked her paws under the frame and heaved. She grunted as she strained to lift it, where was Richard when you need him.

Suddenly, Nicole heard screaming, she lowered the window frame and stared out of the large hole, only to see an oversized hawk coming towards her with two citizens in its talons.

Nicole screamed, she dropped the frame and ducked. The hawk flew over her head and crashed into the wall behind with a grunt, the two kids it held smacked into the space beside it too.

Watching the three slide down the wall and fall flat on their faces, Nicole stood and approached them cautiously. She stood next to the kid on the left, she poked the kid with her feet.

Swift suddenly jolted up with a yelp, only to hear Nicole hear scream and saw her kick the wall, mere centimeters away from Swift's face. Swift screamed and stayed down, quickly dropping onto her belly.

"Wait a minute." Nicole said, "Swift?" The said person slowly turned to Nicole, she swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded. She felt someone grab her arm in attempt to help her up, so she willingly stood.

Carrie was the next the wake up, she hovered up and blew her hair out of her eyes, only to have them fall again. The last one was Penny, she groaned as she stood, she held her head with her wings. "Ugh, next time, I'm just going to throw you guys out and catch on my back." Penny said, she transformed back into her fairy-like form.

"What are you three doing here?" Nicole asked, she dusted herself from the dust that flew when she dropped the window frame. Swift glanced at Penny and Carrie, who both nodded.

Inhaling through gritted teeth, Swift said, "You see..."

5 minutes later...

"WHAT?!"

Swift, Penny and Carrie lowered their hands from their ears. "Oh dear... Poor Gumball... No wonder he was acting weird and changing." Nicole mumbled, "Do you three know how to help him?"

The three girls shook their heads, "At least, not yet." Swift said. "We can't do anything to help him for now, all we can hope for is that Gumball wouldn't blame himself for everything Pulobouloch made him do." Carrie said.

The sound of a door opening disturbed the conversation, the four in Gumball's room turned to the door as they heard Darwin and Anais call for their mother.

"Mom! Mrs.Mom! You wouldn't believe what happened! School let out early! Gumball! He suddenly attacked everybody! He grew wings too! He chased after Swift, and Penny, and Carrie! Then he returned! And he started attacking everyone! He's in jail right now!"

The voices were jumbled up in a way that no one knew whose voice was whose. But they were able to catch that Gumball, was in jail.

When Darwin appeared by the door, Nicole immediately grabbed him by the shoulders. "Do you mean it?" Nicole asked, her response was Darwin showing her a confused face as Anais ran into the scene. "Is what you say true? Is Gumball really in jail?" Nicole asked again.

Darwin swallowed the lump in his throat and nodded, Nicole collapsed to her knees, she never would've thought that Gumball, out of all the possibilities, would go to jail.

As Nicole covered her face and started to weep tears, everyone went ahead and comforted her by patting her back or saying words of reassurance.

Later...

Gumball stared at the barred window, it was too small for any adult to go through, it was the only things that let light in, aside from the barred door that revealed a brightly lit corridor of course.

"I told you we'll get caught." Gumball said, he shifted uncomfortably on the metal ledge that serves as a horrible excuse for a bed.

'Why didn't you run when you had the chance? You could've broke the handcuffs with ease and ran!' Pulobouloch scolded, Gumball sighed and lied down on his bed, he lifted his head to adjust the pillow. "Why didn't you do it then?" Gumball asked, "You could've done it with ease too."

'I wasn't going to reveal myself in front of the cops! They could've sent us to quarantine or to a hospital for crazy people!' Pulobouloch replied, Gumball felt as if his brain was burning up, but he didn't care. "It'll be better if they did anyway." Gumball said, his ears flicked at the sound of someone unlocking the door, he propped himself up and stared at the cop who was standing there.

"Come on kid, your family's here." the cop said, Gumball was surprised, so surprised, that he immediately sat up. Gumball was secretly and slightly thankful for the transformation though, during the night when Pulobouloch made him steel the helmet, Gumball's back had healed, but the scar remained.

Later(Again)...Gumball sat in front of his mother, they stared at each other through the glass that separated them. Gumball then glanced at the ones crowded behind her, his family, Carrie, Penny, and Swift.

He made the move for the phone next to him, Nicole did the same. Gumball held the phone to his ear, expecting her to suddenly yell at him. But instead, Nicole asked, "Gumball, what happened to you?"

If Gumball was surprised, he didn't show it, he sighed. "I don't know Mom." he said, "I don't know what, how, or why." He wiped his face, possibly to erase any tears that would be forming. "But I'm not the son you used to know, not anymore."

"Now now Gumball, don't say that. You are my son, and you always will be." Nicole said, Gumball curled his paw into a fist, "But look at me!" he exclaimed. Nicole withdrew slightly in surprise, this time, she didn't hold the phone to her ears, for the rest to hear him.

"Look at me! I'm in some sort of, blueish grey! My eyes look like they can serve as a flashlight and melt things! I'm almost three times as tall as I was! My arms reach to my knees! And I have wings!" Gumball yelled, he flared his wings open at the last part, "I'm a monster..."

Swift leaned forward to speak into the phone, "Gumball, why would you say that?" she asked. Gumball breathed through his mouth, trembling. "I can't explain it to you all, there's no word for it." Gumball said, after that, he said no more.

He hung the phone and stood to leave, despite his family and friends' obvious protest for him to go, he paid no heed and followed an officer back to his cell.

'We need to escape.' Pulobouloch immediately said, once the sight of Gumball's visitors were out. 'Why?' Gumball asked in his head, he stared at the cop walking in front him, wary.

'The helmet you idiot! You left the helmet under your blanket! What if that fish friend of yours finds it?! We won't be able to complete the ritual to summon my army!'

Gumball winced at the loud voice in his head, he sighed softly. 'You. You need the helmet. Not me.' Gumball thought, after hearing a growl, Pulobouloch said, 'We'll see about that...' After that, the demon suddenly went quiet, making Gumball uncomfortable.

The cop unlocked the door to Gumball's cell, the blue cat glanced at the cop as he entered, he flinched when the the cop slammed the door shut.

Sighing, Gumball sat on his bed and rested his elbows on his knees.

"Hey kid."

Gumball's ears twitched, but he didn't turn.

"Hey. You. The blue-grey one."

Gumball glanced to his side without moving his head, the guy across him was snoozing, the voice came from behind.

"Oi!"

Something hard hit Gumball's head, he growled and turned with a glare, "What?!" he asked, rubbing his head.

The guy behind him withdrew with a gasp, but he quickly collected himself and cleared his throat. "You want out kid?" the guy asked, he looked a lot like Bomb Guy, but older.

Without warning, Gumball's conscious got pulled back and Pulobouloch's conscious took control. "Yes..." Gumball said, hissing after he finished.

Bomb Dude was taken back by the sudden change in Gumball's voice, "Good." he said, "I need someone to follow me out of here, I've got a plan to escape, but I need someone to help. You up for it?"

Gumball smiled like the Cheshire Cat, his fangs gleamed from the light, "Yes..."
