Elmore Ink
Chapter 2
The Interrogation
~Underground 2:10 p.m.
After Gumball was knocked unconscious by "Penny".The group of hybrids brought his body to an unknown location. As the blue cat stared to regain consciousness. He started to hear two people yelling at each other.
"WHY ON EARTH DID YOU BROUGHT THAT THING IN HERE!" The voice that shouted sounded male as Gumball hear his voice as it almost sounds familiar.
"Hey don't look at me was her idea to bring him here". She points to Masami now with an annoyed look on her face. The boy now turns to her and starts to yell at the cloud girl.
"SERIOUSLY MASAMI WHAT WERE YOU THINKING HE COULD-" the boy gets cut off by another voice in the room who was watching Gumball this whole time.
"GUYS THE TOON WOKE UP" the female voice shouted alerting the other three to her location where Gumball was held.
"Ugh... what's going on?" As he looked right in front of him. Gumball sees a human/toon version of his brothers emo girlfriend Carrie. Her appearance is that she had short hair that covered her ghost eye with a skull hair clip on her hair. She wore a sleeveless shirt with two black buttons and a black collar.
She has a skirt but she didn't have legs but a ghost tail like the ghost girl. He also notices that's he's tied up to a chair. The emo girl then sits down in a chair that was infornt of him. With her hands on her knees. She looks at the blue cat with a concern look then tells him.
"If you're wondering why your tied up. It's because the others don't trust you and think you might be a threat to all of us. But just to inform you that I will try to help you as much as I can." Saying this sincerity to him.
"Carrie what is this place and who are the others your takling about"? Gumball
The emo girl is surprised by the blue kitten had already figured out her name.
"Wait how did you know my name?" Gumball answers her question.
"Well that's because your one of my friends and also the fact your my brother's girlfriend".
"Your brother?" She asked him.
"Darwin." Gumball answered her.
Carrie is now confused that the blue kitten knows her boyfriends name.
"Wait what is your last name."
"Watterson"? Gumball truthfully answers her
"That can't be only has his little sister?" She informs him this. Which now confuses the blue cat.
"What the what are you talking about Carr-".Gets cut off by a familiar voice
"Carrie your not supposed to talk to him until we're sure he's not working with them." The cyclops informing the ghost girl. She then leaves the chair with her now floating. Gumball then looks at the boy and immediately recognizes the cyclops. He wore a yellow shirt,red shorts, shoes with long socks,under his hair he had a huge one eye that had ink dripping on it.
"Rob!?" Gumball confused now that his arch enemy his here with "Penny" and Carrie .The cyclops turns around and looks down on the kitten.
"So you already figured out my name and you clearly knew Carrie's before we showed up. So I going to ask you this furball how did you get here".
"Well it's because "Penny" here knocked me out and-" gets cut off by the antlered girl.
"He meant how did you get out of your world you dunderhead." She insults him
"How should I know yesterday this guy (points at Rob with a confused look on his face) comes to my school disguise himself as a the Superintendent Evil but pronounces as "Eh-vill"..( Penny just looks at Rob with a you can't be serious look on her face. Rob then glares at her.) He then tries to stomp our cartoonish ways by "fixing" us."
"How so?" Rob asked him what his counterpart did to him.
"What I meant by this is that he tried to turn us into(looks at them) humans then furthering that. He then put Masami in this machine that slowly made her into an actual live action person. Me and Darwin manges to foil his plans by us turning everyone back to normal but then he looked like he wanted to a fist fight with me. But then he ran away like a coward until Banana Joe used his banana peel to stop him from escaping and he fell to the floor.( This causes Carrie to chuckle a bit.) "
"As Evil fell down to the floor. We all gathered around him to see "Evils" body deformed. I looked offed his mask to reveal to be you. You then tried to weasel your way out but Tina who is a T-Rex by the way if I didn't explain that knocked you unconscious with her tail."After that I came home, went to bed and then I came here to this werid world where everything is a shade of yellow and everything is covered in ink." He finishes his story to the trio. But then Carrie asks the blue cat.
"So what happened to me in your world"? Gumball then nonchalantly answers to the emo.
"Well you had to be buried because you were a ghost and they put manure in your gravestone". This causes the emo girl to smack Rob in the back of his head causing him minor pain.
Rob rubs the back of his head now when an annoyed look at the emo girl who smack him. But looks in a somber face and bitterly informs Gumball.
"I think it wouldn't have mattered anyway even if he wouldve been send here but I then The Demon would've showed up." Gumball then wonders what he's talking about. Then "Penny" sarcastically replies to Rob's answer.
"Well that was obvious. That lame-brained idea can only be cooked up by a toon version of Rob." Saying this nonchalantly to them. Rob gets annoyed by her comment about him. Gumball then asks them.
"Umm who exactly is the Demon? You guys have been talking about?" He question them this.
"Penny" then tells Rob and Carrie to leave her alone with the cat. The two then leave the room with Carrie having a concerned look on her face for Gumball.
~The Interrogation 3:49 p.m.
"Penny" then grabs the chair she then sits down with her right leg and arms crossed while glaring at him.
"First of all my name's Penelope. Only my friends can call me Penny. Second look at me when I'm talking to you."
"But I am looking at you Pen.. I mean Penelope." Gumball corrected himself before name she got mad at him. But was unsure what she was taking about.
"You're not". Gumball gives her a confused look still unsure what's she's talking about.
"I meant your face" She points at him.
"What about it?"
"It's at an angle turn it until your actually looking at me". She orders him turn his face.
"I can't do is how my face is normally ". This annoys Penelope as she then gets up from the chair, then comes to where Gumball is tied up.
She then bends down put both her hands on the sides of Gumball's face and then she turns his head which causes Gumball some pain as she's doing this. This continues until Gumball's head is actullay looking at her. Penelope does pause for a minute to notice how weird his face looks when it's looking directly at someone.
"No wonder why you always keep your face in that angle". Penelope moves from Gumball and returns to the sits back down and still glaring at the blue kitten.
"So why did you bring here to your base." He questioned this to the girl infront of him.
"The reason for that is because Masami suggested it. But if it was me calling the shots you be dead." Penelope makes her hand look like a gun while she talking and pretends to fire. Which frightens him seeing that Penelope is very different from Penny.
"Masami helped me?" He is very confused about this statement.
She then signs with an annoyed look on her face.
"Can we just focus on this right now furball. Listen I'm going to tell you something that's going to mess you ,your family, your friends and your hometown"-
"There not real" - Gumball now looking a bit depressed about what he just said. This does confused the girl infornt of him that he already knew that.
"So how did you figure that out." She asked him
" I thinked it was when everyone tried to kill me and my family after we destoryed the town. After that I was at my bed the next morning with everything back to normal. I didn't mind it at first and then everything started to glitch around Elmore that me and my brother realized that out our lives are a television show but then it cuts to us with our family at home eating then explain to Mom and Anais of how we manage to be friends again with them just felt off. Now that I think about it. I think it was pretty obvious with all the werid things that happened in my town".
"If you knew your world wasn't real. Then why did you continued living with the lie?" -Penelope
" I was my life, even if it wasn't real what I felt about it and everyone was real to me. Plus no one would believe me if I told them". Penelope being unsure about his answer of allowing himself to be ignorant of his life not being real.
"Now I know you're not working for The Demon". Gumball is confused of who this monster she,Joe and Rob were talking about.
"So this demon you guys keep talking about anyway. They keep calling me that to me but I don't know why that is?"
Penelope then clenches her fist's and then glares at the blue cat.
"Hope you like long stories kid".
~ Flashback
"It all happened when Ben Bocqulet came to our town. He said he was going to give everyone an opportunity of a lifetime and make all there dreams come true. He hired alot of workers to work on his studio. He got my father to construct some kind of machine for saying to him that it will help him with his goal. My dad had to work overtime working on that damn thing. I barely get to see him in the morning and he was to exhausted when he got back home at night.
After when the studio finally opened alot people started disappearing after my dad said he finished the machine for him. Which then I started to feel like something or someone been messing with my memories cause I have no idea why I send Bert there in the first place.
Then the Inkquestion started.
Few days after the studio opened these monsters showed up attacking our town. They're were five of them two rabbits,two cats and a fish. Four of them looked human or what was left of them. The Demon looks just like you but taller, thinner but that he looked almost like a skeleton, and his face except for his mouth was covered in ink.
They destoryed the entire town and killed so many people including my family who were devoured by that fat rabbit we call The Worm. I somehow managed to survive the encounter with the monster. After that I meet Rob and a bunch of other survivors from The Inkquestion. We all formed a resistance group called The Insurgence so we can find a way to end The Ink Wattersons once and for all.
There are five of them in total. The Demon,The Snake, The Beast,The Worm and you've already encountered The Witch. Out of all of them The Demon is the strongest while The Witch is the weakest of the bunch. They each rule over a domain in this town what they called Elmore. It's unknown what happened to Ben Bocqulet after it. But I'm pretty sure he was killed during The Inkquestion.
~ Insurgence Base 4:20 p.m.
After she told her story if what happened to her world. The blue cat asked her.
"So why didn't you guys just called yourselves"The Resistance" or "The Rebels"? Penelope then answers.
"It's because the author of this story wanted a different name for the resistance group and the Rebellion has been already taken."
(Hey you try to come up with an original name for a resistance group it's hard).
Gumball and Penelope looked up at the ceiling with confused looks on there faces.
"Who was that"? The blue cat questioned
Just ignore him". She replied
( Just ignore me like everyone else does. You Nutcase)
"What was that"? Penelope angered by that insult.
(Nothing...)
Gumball then opens his mouth to clear this akward moment of silence.
"So Penelope I can ask you something"?
"What"?
"Did you have a boyfriend? I not saying that I want to ask you out or anything. I just wanted to know if you had one before all this happened"?
"We broke up. That's all you need to know about it" She replied with an angry look. Which makes the blue cat uncomfortable.
"Oh" He didn't know it was personal for as it seemed she didn't handled the breakup very well.
"So was his name Gumball? Penelope looks at him with dumbfounded look.
"No his name wasn't Gumball. Infact what kind of dumbass parents name there kid after candy. They might as well name after candy. The mom's name is Jaw Breaker, with her husband Muchi, the boy Gumball and their daughter Anus".
"It's actually Anais" He corrected her.
"Does it look like I care" Penelope with a serious look.
"No but if you want me to understand how you feel I can try to help you?" As he tries to reach out to her. She comes close to the blue cat then grabs his throat,and rasies him up in the air. Gumball looks at her in eyes and sees that she has a more furious look on her face that makes his own mom's glare be put to shame.
"When you're Parents and little sister are killed right in front of you. Then you will know how I feel about it." She drops him down on the ground with him feeling a bit of pain from the fall.
"Ow"
~After the Interrogation 4:50 p.m.
Penelope leaves the room and Carrie comes next to her asking how it went.
"Besides being a pain in the ass. He isn't working for The Demon." She answered the emo girls question. Carrie then notices that Gumball is still tied up and she's holding him.
"So why is he still tied up"? Carrie ask her
"I still don't trust him.". Pen replied
"So how did it went Penny". Another boy showed up and this time Gumball recognized the voice to be Alan. Except it was a little deeper the top of his head was a balloon while he wore a bowtie,collar shirt, jeans and shoes. Alan then notices Gumball.
"Oh hello there little how are you-" Gumball gets angry and starts hissing at the balloon boy which scares him.
"Seriously can one of you untie me now." Gumball protests
"No" Carrie and Penelope said this in union. Which Gumball is annoys but this until the hear a distorted noise coming from outside the base.
"What the What was that"? Gumball asked the two girl. Then Rob comes to the room where the cat and girls are.
"He's here. We have to go now." Rob informs the two to hurry up. Penelope drops Gumball as she starts leaving and Carrie looking worried for the feline.
"But what about him" she points at the tied up cat. Penelope then grabs a knife and cuts him loose from the rope with unties him. She then glares at the kitten.
"We need to go now before he comes here."
The doors then breaks down by a monstrous version of Gumball that comes into their base. It was like what Pen said about the creature. It looked exactly like him but he was taller,leaner with him slouching and was dripping in ink,his left hand resembles his own,while the right had massive claws for a hand,he had a tail,his right leg was wearing a shoe with the left he was barefoot,his smile was also disturbing as if he can't move it or speak. The terrified the blue kitten then sees the angered Penelope.
"Is that?" She then finishes his sentence.
"Yes That's The Demon"...
