At the house
Gumball told Carrie about the twin result.
"WHAT!? The twin score full marks on every subject?" Carrie said as she shocked after hearing Gumball told her
"Exactly!" Gumball replied
"Even though they only study in 1 day…it's just…hard to believe" Carrie said
"Yeah…they are quite intelligent..." Gumball said
"So where will they be place?" Carrie asked
"The same as us" Gumball replied
"That's good" Carrie said. Cedric and Stella comes home after going out as well as Hadley walked to them
"How's the twin result?" Stella asked
"They pass with flying colors" Gumball said
"Wow…so my tutoring to them were worth it anyway" Stella said as she feels proud of herself
"Aww…you two are so smart…" Cedric praising the twin
"I have something to do" Gumball said as he left the group
"Where is he going…?" everyone wondered. Gumball planned to make an emergency alarm watch that he forgotten about it yesterday. He picked on some components after then him head to the bakery to buy a cake to celebrate the twin enrollment.
"Oh Gumball! What do you want?" the owner asked happily
"Erm… I will like to take that chocolate cake" Gumball said
"You can have it for free. Since you helped me a lot in my shop" the owner said generously
"Really?" Gumball asked in surprised
"Yup" the owner replied
"THANKS!" Gumball said happily while leaving the shop. Gumball then head home.
"Oh you're back" Cedric said as his eyes not moving away from the television.
"There is a virus spreading, it was only discovered few days ago…" the television showed as the picture of the virus. Gumball can't believe his eyes.
"What the…He's alive?" Gumball said loudly
"Huh? You seem to know the virus…" Hadley said curiously
"What? No…" Gumball replied nervously as he started to sweat
"Don't lie…" Stella said
"Okay…that virus…I remembered that I killed it 4 years ago when I was 12" Gumball said
"What? But how can you explain that he still alive" Cedric said
"I had no idea how he survive after I stepped on him. But that virus is dangerous…it can infect nearly everything including electronic or even other things" Gumball replied
"Woa…that's not just some ordinary virus you killed there…" Carrie said
"Let's keep ourselves safe…Oh I brought a cake to celebrate the twin birthday anyway" Gumball said
"Yeah! Cakes for dinner" Stella shouted. Gumball prepared plates for everyone. He sliced and give everyone a piece of it. Gumball finished his as he went to his room making the alarm watch. Carrie float into Gumball's room as she hugged Gumball from behind.
"What's wrong, gummy-puss?" Carrie asked
"It's about the virus" Gumball said while making the watch. He made 2 of them and tried it. The watch have a screen that indicates other watch location. There is also a communication device inside it.
Gumball gasping some air as he begin to theorize the virus.
"It can't be…I stepped on the virus…wait no…that's not the point. He is near dead and probably been resurrected by the energy flows from the last seal…That might be possible…" Gumball concerned about it as Carrie looked at his face
"Are you alright?" Carrie asked
"Yea, I'm alright. Help me try these watch" Gumball said. Carrie puts on the watch.
"Now push the red button at the side" Gumball said. Carrie pushed at it and turn on the alarm on Gumball's watch
"Yes…it works, this watch were design to show your location if you wear the watch and as a communication device. If you in trouble press the button you pressed just now as it alert the others who wear the watch" Gumball said
"Since when you know how to do this kind of thing?" Carrie asked
"Few days ago, while I was reading a book about technology" Gumball replied. Carrie kissed Gumball on the cheek as he blush a little as well as Carrie face light red.
"Bye I went to sleep first. Good night. Don't stay up for too long" Carrie said as she left Gumball's room and went to bed
1 o'clock in midnight
The virus slowly moving to their house. Gumball aware of it as he went out to look for the virus. He then notice a figure as high as him walking towards him.
"Well…well…well Gumball Watterson…we meet again after 4 years you stepped on me as I was in the edge of death" the virus said
"What the…did you grow from small to the same height as me?" Gumball said
"No…I evolved throughout the years and finally I can have my revenge" the virus said as he clenched his fist. His tentacles were well-prepared in a battle stances.
"How do you survive?" Gumball asked as he begins to step back a little.
"How do I survive? Hah! An energy flows into me as it enchant and evolved my body to a higher advanced virus. Mutating me" the virus said
"Then come and kill me if can" Gumball said as he brings them to the chamber
"Oh so you insist to die…" the virus said
"Nah…I'm just getting started" Gumball said as he take out his weapon. Once he discover forging ability, he begin to forge both of his sword as it changed shape into a great sword.
ARGHHH! The virus starting to change its size as it reached 15 meter tall. He starting to attack with his tentacles mercilessly but Gumball dodge it.
"STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, YOU PIECE OF TRASH" the virus shouted
"Why should I?" Gumball said as he dashed across the virus leg as his numerous slice to it. The virus legs been cut off as he collapsed.
"Do you think cutting my leg will make me unable to move? Think again…" the virus said as he regenerate back both of his leg. A tentacle came out of nowhere grabbed Gumball as it tried to squeeze him.
"Now I got you!" the virus said
"Not today" Gumball said as he used EMP shockwave to break loss of the virus grip and landed on the ground. He summon his wings and begins aerial attack, cutting every part of its body intensely. The virus released spikes from its body and retract it back making Gumball unable to continue the attack. "BAM" Gumball attacked with Twilight Blast.
"Ahahah! *Evil laugh* "You can't kill me Gumball" the virus said as his body starting to slowly regenerate
"Impossible…even with the most powerful skill…it only scratch him" Gumball mumbled in fear
"Gumball alert the others and tell the others" Scar said. Gumball pushed the button on the watch as it alert the others 7 watches near everyone bed
"Huh? What is this?" Cedric thought
"Wake up every one! The virus…HE's HERE!" Gumball said through the watch. Everyone rushed to the living room and went outside to check about. They saw a portal opening as they walked in
"What the heck is that!?" Stella said as she looked at the enormous virus
"It's the virus…he's evolved" Gumball said while gasping for air
"What kind of virus is this…"Cedric said
"DUCK!" Gumball shouted as he noticed a huge tentacle swing to them. Everyone ducked down as the tentacle swing pass above them. Everyone summoned their weapon as they going to fight the virus. Selina already managed to activate triple barrel.
"Guys keep in distance, Cedric come with me" Gumball said
"Okay" everyone replied as they start hitting in long-range. Cedric followed Gumball as they need to get to a closer range to the virus
"Go to his right leg, we will do this on both legs. Now follow me" Gumball said as he leaped up to the virus left leg while Cedric on right leg
"Start slash from the leg then to his hands, we will do this fast if not he just gonna regenerate" Gumball said as he start cutting the virus leg followed up by Cedric on the right side.
"Erk…What is this? Two ants coming from my leg? Joke…" the virus said as he ignores the projectiles and targeted Gumball and Cedric. They keep moving forward and cutting while dodging. As they moved to the virus arm they slice it off as they kicked back away from him. They landed on the ground as Gumball quickly casted Frost Nova. Freezing the virus.
"Well…we did it" Gumball said in relief
"Yea…" Cedric said
"NOT SO FAST…" a voice comes out as the ice is breaking. A small tentacle turn into a spear-like shape as it burst out piercing through Gumball abdomen.
"GUMBALL!" everyone shouted as the tentacle retracted
"HAH! Look at your friends face" the virus said as he broke out of the ice
"Now I shall take your friend's life with you!" the virus said
"Don't you dare…" Gumball said hesitatingly as the virus has spread inside his body as he gets weaker and lying on the ground. The virus stomped the ground caused a massive blow that knock everyone away
"You are just pathetic…" the virus said as he crushed Gumball's legs.
"ARGGHHH!" Gumball shouted in pain
"You kill every single one of my race! And now I will have my revenge" the virus said
"Terriiiiii...if she didn't wash my hand…nothing will had turn out to be like this" Gumball mumbled. Everyone can only attack as they can't do much to the virus incredible regenerating ability
"I…can't die like this…my parents…my friends…most of all Carrie…But what can I do…even though the mark implied me to be immortal but the virus is killing me inside and disable my regenerating ability…Just what can I do…" Gumball concerned hesitatingly as he can only see the virus hurting his friends.
"You god dam piece of SH*T, what have you done to my friend" Stella shouted. Everyone were furious about the virus…
"Just some old business" the virus replied
The virus inside Gumball is consuming his body cells as he can only feel the pain…Just then he lost consciousness, collapsed and fell into a dream.
Gumball's Dream
"Huh? Where am I?"
"I thought my legs crushed just now…"
"Yes…your legs crushed. This is your dream" said an odd voice
"Who are you?" Gumball asked as he looked at an odd figure walking towards him
"I'm Rex, the thing that sleep inside your body for decades" the figure reveal his name as Scar also appeared
"Long time no see…" Scar said friendly. "Yeah…it's been 5 years since we last met" Rex said
"What? You're the thing that sleep inside me? And how do you know him Scar?" Gumball was curious about it
"It's complicated, now let me explain…" Scar said
Flashback
Gumball's body lived inside 2 marks. Scar and Rex when he was born. The two decided to shown themselves when Gumball reached 16. But due to Gumball early unstable body, only Scar show himself and Rex remain inside him sleeping.
"Scar, you do know that Gumball's body is unstable…" Rex said
"Well…I do know but which one of us will appear first?" Scar said
"I think it's you, I need to wait till the time to come as I observe Gumball's body for a few weeks to ensure he is capable enough to handle 2 marks at a time" Rex said
"Okay then…Good luck sleeping and observing" Scar replied
"Kay, now go" Rex said. Scar left and on the day where Gumball before going out to watch a movie with Carrie, he appeared.
Flashback ended
"That is why we don't come out at the same moment as it might damage your body" Rex said
"Oh I see…" Gumball said
"The sword you retrieved from the Museum…that is Rex" Scar said
"So you mean that I'm always using Rex's weapon?" Gumball asked
"Exactly! Also at the mean time I was measuring your body stats each time you using it" Rex replied
"Anyway, I have 2 option for you. It's either to accept me or denied me and die of diseases as the world been dominated by phantoms" Rex said
"But before that, I need to show you something about your past" Rex started to show an image of Gumball past. It's about Gumball playing with everyone, having fun with everyone, his families, and his love, Carrie He starting to concern about himself as he starting to tears. "Why…WHY! Why everything do has to end like this…I'm hopeless…with the power I left…what I can do…"
"There's always hope and wills, you can't just leave the world like this…it's pathetic. Look around, you have so much fun and romantic life. Do you want to waste it? No, you don't. Everyone needs you, Gumball. Now it's your choice to pick the path to go" Scar said encouraging Gumball to stand up and fight
"Kay then…" Gumball wiped away his tears. "Do remember, Gumball. If you accept me, your body might loss control as the power is too powerful. If you manage to handle it, there is no problem for it. Will you risk to take this chances?" Rex said in a serious tone
Meanwhile at the battleground
"Carrie take Gumball to somewhere safety!" Cyrus shouted. Carrie agreed as she teleported to Gumball holding his hand and teleported to somewhere safe as the others were fighting the virus
"Please…Gumball…don't leave me alone…" Carrie said while crying beside Gumball's body while his crushed leg bleeding intensely
*AAARRGGHH!* Cedric been knocked away. He already have no strength on fighting as he seems exhausting. "*Pant*…*pant*…you…this ugly thing", Cedric said as he gasping for air and gathering the strength to stand up. The virus lifted his huge leg as he is going to crush Cedric, Selina managed to delay him by sending out a large amount of energy blast from her triple barrel duo gun as Cedric stood up and get away from there. The virus missed as he stomp the ground causing it to crack.
Gumball's Dream
"Your friends are on the edge of death, you better be quick Gumball or else they really going to die" Rex said
"…" Gumball still thinking about it. After a while, he agreed to risk himself to save the others
"Wish choice kid, Scar if Gumball going berserk stop him immediately" Rex said. Scar respond to Rex with a yes.
"Good luck" Rex said his last word as he dismissed. The dream started to fade away as Gumball is yet to wake up from the dream.
Back to the present
Everyone were frustrating as they losing strength, Hadley appeared just in time before everyone been crushed while Carrie stay with Gumball
"Hm…another prey…" the virus said
"You guys go recover, I will take it from here" Hadley said
"Okay…" everyone replied as they left Hadley
"HEY! Those are my preys!" the virus said furiously
"Not anymore big guy" Hadley said as he provoking him
"I will take you then…after that I will go for them" the virus said
"Come and try" Hadley said as he wielding his staff professional
"He's tough, be careful" Clerk warn Hadley. The virus begin to go full-out as his attack with every tentacles on its back. Just when the tentacles about to hit Hadley, he casted *Wild Flame*, the ground starting to a flame as it hits one thousand Celsius turning the tentacles gases instant.
"Try harder big guy" Hadley provoke as he summon fire orbs that indicate incoming attack and negate it if it comes to range
"You starting to piss me off, small fry" the virus said. He starting to duplicate himself into 10.
"Well, I didn't expect it to happen…" Hadley said as he summon phoenix. The phoenix started to attack the duplicate including the original but the phoenix been pierced with ease as it vanished as it turns into a chick landing on Hadley shoulder in fear
"God…even a phoenix cannot deal with it..." Stella said while watching Hadley as they are 20km away from Hadley
"That's some freaking over powered virus..." Cedric said
"Aww…my poor birdy…" *chip-chip-chip*. Hadley then created a boundary of flame surrounding the virus. The virus trying to pass it but it evaporated their parts as they touched the flame. Everyone went to Gumball side as they beg for Gumball to recover.
"Do you think fire can prevent me?" the virus said as he starting to mutate again. He is now able to sustain fire. He walked out of the boundary along with the duplicates.
"Impossible…" Hadley said as he retreated to the others knowing that he cannot beat the hell of out that virus
"The virus…it evolved! Now that my fire ability is useless…" Hadley said
"What?! He evolved again?" they others shocked. Gumball almost awake as he starting to gain consciousness.
"What should we do?" Cedric asked in panic, *COME OUT WHEREEVER YOU ARE!*, the virus shouted with his army of himself. The viruses inside Gumball started to die as his body starting to recover, his legs is shining as they can saw the bones glowing back as well as the flesh.
"THE VIRUS IS COMING TOWARDS OUR DIRECTION!" Hadley shouted as they stand out to hold the virus for a bit longer…
Gumball's thoughts
"I coming! Hang in there everyone!". He remembered that Lexy used to spar with him before Nicole train him as he loses every time. "If I die…Lexy is the worst to carry this burden inside her heart beside mom…" Gumball concerned about himself as he is almost awaken.
Return
Gumball's left hand starting to burn out another mark beside Scar as he awaken. His eyes already changed color from black to reddish-yellow. Carrie were so happy that Gumball is alive as she hugged him. But instead he ignores her as he walking towards the virus with a demonic look. Carrie were confused of why Gumball ignore her, everyone surprised to see Gumball alive.
*Evil laugh* "Hey you big guy! Do you think a mere diseases can kill me?" Gumball said in a rather deep and scary tone
"Is that Gumball? He sounds a bit…different" Cedric said
"Look at his left arm…" Kyler said
"Another mark…where did he get from?" Stella said
"No idea…" Selina replied
"You should have die by now…" the virus said
"Die? What is that? I should have accept this second mark long time ago" Gumball said
"It's so powerful…" Gumball said
"Gumball lost control…" Cyrus said
"What?" everyone shocked
"Due to a duo mark person, his body become unstable as it is too powerful to handle" Cyrus replied. Gumball pick up his great sword as it starting to glow
"Great weapon! What can I do about it?" Gumball said as his weapon starting to evolve again. It starting to change shape as the blade expanding out till the handle and its color changed from dark purple.
"What the…" everyone were surprised yet scared about it as they think that Gumball will turn against them
"Legacy weapon…" Hadley mumbled
"You can't kill me with my ultra-regeneration abi-" The virus words been cut off as Gumball killing every duplicates without the virus noticing him as he using hyper speed then appear in front of him
"That strength...it's beyond legendary…" Hadley said. Gumball continue to walk slowly as the virus starting to attack him without hesitation but only to notice every time he attacked with his tentacles just been cut off by Gumball
"HAHA Childs play! Do you think those thing will work?" Gumball said maniacally
"What is up with you!? How come you can kill every duplicates of me?" The virus started to panic
"Huh? Do I kill all of it? I just trying to test my new weapon but sadly big guy they are just too weak…including you" Gumball said as he slice one of virus leg. The virus leg can no longer recover.
"What do you do to me?!" The virus shouted
"Nothing, I just removed your mark" Gumball said while walking in circle
"What?! This virus has a mark on it and we didn't even notice?" Cedric said
"Probably…that's the reason why he's able to regenerate his body part in high-speed without failure" Hadley replied
"YOU REMOVED MY MARK?! SINCE WHEN YOU DID IT?" the virus shouted furiously
"When I killed every one of you and remove your mark in the way" Gumball said
"YOU!" the virus shouted as he goes for Gumball.
Meanwhile somewhere else…
"Gumball! Get a hold of yourself, you can do it!" Scar said. Gumball was fighting with himself to gain conscious as his body been taken away by the power
"I'm TRYING can't you see?" Gumball replied
"This is even worse than "The Limit"…" Gumball said
"Glad you know" Scar said
Back to the present
Gumball sliced off virus both arm mercilessly.
"What are you going to do to me?" virus said
"To end this misery of yours?" Gumball said with a medium size Twilight Blast
"No…no…NO!" the virus shouted as Gumball dropped it as it slowly land on the virus and exploded.
"Guys be ready…we don't know he will turn against us or not" Hadley said
*Evil laugh* "Weak!" Gumball said after walking away from the virus as he killed it
"Gumball! Wake up! We know it wasn't you" Carrie shouted
"Huh? There is no more Gumball...I'm ZACH!" Zach shouted as he took over Gumball
"What the...who is Zach?" everyone asked except Carrie
"He is an alter ego of Gumball, second personalities…" Carrie said
"I guess we just gonna knock Gumball back to himself then…" Stella said
"You all weak…weak…TOTALLY WEAK! MUAHAHAHAHA" Zach said
"Win me if you can!" Zach shouted
Gumball's thought
"Darn that Zach…he's back" Gumball mumbled
"Trust yourself, you can do it. Or else everyone is going to die" Scar said
"Okay…now how am I going to take back my body?" Gumball asked
"The only way is to either be knocked into unconsciousness by your friends or you will have to do it by yourself" Scar replied
"How am I supposed to do that…?" Gumball said
"Fight with him in your body, that's the only way" Scar said. Gumball started to fight against Zach to take back his own body.
