Shit's gone down, people! Shit has gone down! We're now making our way closer towards the end of the first Act. The bad guys are about to make their move. Don't expect some sunshines and lolipops in this chapter. This is where the intense violence is going to happen. Expect some blood and gore.
Chapter 15: Hydra
In the Morning... back at the Watterson's House...
"Why am I wearing this again?" Aelita asked, showing herself to be in some sort of body armor, consisting of a bike helmet, a small pillow on her chest, sponges on her elbows and knees. Gumball was also wearing a sort of body armor as well, wearing only a tin bowl over his head, sponges on his elbows and knees, and he had a pillow around his body.
"For protection." Gumball said, trying to wrap something around the girl's stomach. "Dodj or Daar can be pretty crazy."
"Dodj or Daar?" Aelita asked. "You mean Dodge or Dare, right?"
"Not exactly." Gumball said. "Me and Darwin intentionally called it Dodj or Daar. Both for humor and copyright." The blue cat then finished carefully putting the metal bowl on the girl's bump. But the suddenly, the bowl popped off, dropping to the floor.
"Huh... that didn't work." Gumball said. But then an idea popped in his head. He took off the pillow padding off his body and wrapped it around the girl's tummy.
"Perfect." Gumball said, and then he leaned in and patted the side of the girl's pregnant belly, speaking to the baby inside. "There you go, little girl. Now you won't get hurt..." Seeing the cat act all fatherly and caring to the baby inside her made the girl giggle. Not only does he make a cute, charmy, and caring boyfriend, he'd also make a great father... should they one day get married and have a family of their own. When he was done, the two went towards the game board, which spelled Dodj or Daar, whic is actually a made up game that Gumball and Darwin invented a long time ago... which had some pretty disastrous results, which leads to making a huge mess in the house, or setting the house on fire... yeah, fun game... hehehe...
"So, how exactly do you play this... Dodj or Daar?" She asked.
"It's simple." Gumball said. "You roll the dice and take a card. If you pick a daar card, you must complete the task that is written on that card. If you accomplish the task, you move the number of spaces that you got. If you refuse or are unable to complete the task, you cannot move. But if you draw a dodj card and hold onto it, you can use it to negate the Daar card, do not have to do the task and go the number of spaces you get." The girl looked at the blue cat.
"Ok." Aelita said. "So the first person who makes it to the end of the finish line is the winner?"
"You don't win... You SURVIVE...!" Gumball spoke in a low and serious tone. "But yes, you win."
"Ok." Aelita said, as the blue cat placed the board on the ground, placing the two decks of cards, one of dodj cards, and one of daar cards. He then placed two pieces, a black chess piece and a soldier army piece on the board.
"Alright, now you get the first roll, my lady." Gumball said as he gave the girl the dice pieces.
"Ok then." Aelita said as she tossed the dice onto the ground, showing she rolled a twelve. She then took a card from the Daar pile and it red.
DAAR: You must wear everything wearable in the house.
"Oooo, you got an easy one!" Gumball said wit a smile.
"So, now what?" Aelita asked.
"You just grab everything that's wearable in the house and put them on." Gumball said.
"Even your mom and dad's clothes?" Aelita asked.
"Yes." Gumball said. The girl looked with a bit of confusion, but she shrugged. She then rushed into the house and grabbed everything that she could. Luckily, all the clothes were getting ready to be washed, so there was no worry about getting them dirty.
"Ok!..." Aelita said, as she struggled to get the last hat on. "I finally.. put on everything that's wearable... in the house..." As the hat fit on the hat that was on the hat that she was wearing, Aelita only sat there on the ground, with everything that was wearable, such as her own clothes, Gumball's clothes, Anais's cothes, Nicole's clothes, Richard's clothes, even the winter garments. She actually looked like a beach ball with all those clothes, almost like Anais when she had all the clothes on. The girl could barely move, with the only limbs that could move were her hands and feet, and of course her head.
"There..." She said. "Whoo, that took a lot of effort. Now suddenly, I feel like a bloated beach ball." Gumball only looked at her with a smile.
"Or a blueberry girl, if we painted your skin blue." Gumball said. The two gave a happy chuckle. But soon, Aelita was beginning to lose her balance as she began to waddle back and forth and she was leaning a bit back.
"Oh, I got you!" Gumball said as he rushed over and pulled, but this caused her to roll forward and fall on her front, right on top of the blue cat.
"Gumball, are you ok?" Aelita asked.
"Yeah, I'm ok." Gumball said as he pulled himself a bit, finally able to breathe and release his arms out. Luckily with all those clothes the girl had one, she wasn't crushing him one bit.
"Sorry." She said.
"Oh no, it's alright." Gumball said, but then his gaze was right at her. The blue cat stared at her beautiful emerald green eyes, and he gave a smile. She looked so cute and amazing, even if she looked like a bloated beach ball.
"What?" Aelita asked, knowing that he was gazing at her.
"You look so cute... and beautiful." Gumball said.
"Even if I look like a beach ball?" She asked.
"Yeah." Gumball spoke as he caressed her face with his paws. Then, he began to kiss her on the lips. The kiss was so passionate, and they loved every second of it. Though suddenly, Aelita opened her eyes a bit. While all the clothes would make it difficult to feel from the outside, she did feel something thrusting slowly against her front.
"Gumball?" She asked.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Are you humping me?" The blue cat blushed, and smiled nervously.
"Uhhh... no?" Gumball asked, but then he looked down and noticed his hips were thrusting against the surface of the clothes. He only blushed in embarrassment. And what was more embarrassing was that he was still doing it! Normally a girl would feel a bit disturbed by that, but Aelita couldn't help but giggle.
"You are so weird." She said.
"Sorry." Gumball said.
"Don't be." Aelita said. "That's what I like about you." Hearing that made the cat blush, but this time he had a smile on his face. He leaned his forehead against hers. She didn't care if he was weird. She liked him that way. Perhaps because their feelings for each other were so strong and passionate... maybe too passionate for their own good. But they liked it. No, they loved it.
"We should... probably get back to the game." Aelita said.
"Yeah, I think you move twelve spaces." Gumball said. "But... can we just be like this for about five more minutes?" The girl smiled again, showing she wanted to stay and kiss him some more too.
"Ok." She said, as she leaned her head forward to kiss him even more.
"Wait... aren't you worried anyone would see us?" Gumball asked.
"Nah." Aelita said. "Let 'em look." The blue cat smiled.
"I love you." He said, and the two proceeded to kiss again, even more passionately than ever before, not caring who would watch them. No doubt he was still humping her, but she didn't care. Truth be told, she liked it. Back upstairs, Anais was writing on a piece of paper, writing down everything that she despised about Aelita. In fact, there was also a picture on the paper, of the little bunny stabbing the girl with a knife. The bunny was still too upset over how she saw that knocked up slut kiss her big brother, when it should've been herself instead.
"Stupid Aelita... Stupid girl. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!" Anais said as her pencil broke. As she tossed the pencil away and reached over the table to get another one, she glanced out the window, but her eyes opened wide as she saw Aelita, dressed in all those clothes on top of Gumball, who was kissing her. Anais then showed a face of extreme hate, speaking in interrupted words.
"Wha... Ack... Wha... Eh... Ah, eh, ah, ack..." Anais stammered on her words, before she resulted into screaming with rage and pulling her own ears. She grabbed the scissors on her desk and began stabbing her desk and the paper before her multiple times, before banging her head on it violently. She then went to one of her dolls, shaking it violently before ripping it apart. She was acting like the time when she was at school viciously hunting for a friend, which was her unorthodox approach so to speak. This involved growling, screaming, acting violent and hissing with her tongue open. Her attention was then drawn to a pair of photos, which were actually copies of the photos of both Gumball and Aelita from using the photo booth yesterday. She picked on up and then ripped it in half and tore the half that had Aelita's face to pieces. She did the same with the other three photos, only instead of ripping them to pieces, she took those pieces, wadded them up and then put them in her mouth, chewing on it and swallowing down her throat. Unfortunately, with the wad being to big, it was caught in Anais's little throat, making her choke for almost a minute. But as she was about ready to pass out from the lack of oxygen, she gave one final swallow and gulfed the wads down straight to her stomach, making her little tummy bulge out a bit. She leaned against the wall and took deep breaths and coughed, slowly getting her senses back. Normally she wouldn't get this angry, but since yesterday, her anger has been getting worse. Apparently her rage episodes were escalating badly. Perhaps she got it from her mom. Anais looked down at her bulged stomach, and rubbed her tummy a bit.
"Die in there, you little skank." She said, imagining those pieces were actually Aelita, drowning and burning up in the little bunny's stomach. She only sighed. She was now imagining things now. If only she could shrink that slut and eat her whole. That would be good, but very impossible. She then made her way back to her desk, only to turn to the window and see her brother kissing that slut even more. Anger fueled Anais once more as she pulled her ears again with rage, surprisngly they were not ripped off from the strength she possessed. She then jumped on her bed and threw another tantrum. If her mom saw this, she would get a lecture. The bunny burried her face down, and only lifted it up to show hate filled eyes. She has had it. She couldn't take looking at that little pink haired skank anymore. She tried to get a hold of herself.
"Keep it together, Anais..." She told herself. "Only a little longer..."
Back downstairs, Nicole was doing the dishes while listening to music through her headphones, which was why she didn't hear Anais throwing a fit. She then saw out the window, seeing Gumball and Aelita giggling and kissing each other in the backyard. Nicole couldn't help but smile, seeing her son having fun with his new love, even if it was too passionate.
"Kids these days." She said as she placed the last dish away and dried her hands up with a towel. She then made her way across the dining room, but then stopped for a second. She then looked down at the ground and started thinking. Looking around, she saw that she was the only one in the room. She made her way to the storage closet near the TV and opened it up. On the side of the wall was a red button. Pressing her hand on it, a small pad flipped over and revealed itself, showing that it needed a key combination. She typed a few words in it, and it spoke.
Access Granted!
The wall then opened up, revealing something that no one would expect to see. There were weapons on the racks of the wall. There were all kinds of weapons, such as couple of pistols, a minigun, a small thin bat with a thin circle at the top, a shock blaster, a battle staff, and two gauntlets that looked like gloves. Nicole took the battle axe and examined it, which actually said words on it. The words spelled Property of the SPD. She clicked the bat and it sprung an energy blade that went down and up on one side, showing that the bat was actually a battle axe. She gave a sigh as she examined the axe, unaware of Darwin coming into the room.
"Mrs. Mom?" He asked, startling her. She quickly closed the door to prevent anyone from seeing. She turned to see Darwin.
"Oh, hi Darwin." Nicole said, showing a little bit of nervousness in her voice. "What's up, sweetie?" Darwin then glanced down at Nicole's hand and pointed.
"What's that?" He asked. Nicole's eyes shrank and she looked down at her hand, realizing that she was carrying the battle axe.
"Oh!... This...!" She said. "It's... a... Toy!"
"Toy?" Darwin asked.
"Yes, it's a toy." Nicole said.
"Cool!" Darwin said. "Can I try it?"
"NO!" Nicole shouted. "I mean, no sweetie, because it's... it's... a toy for grown ups, yes. a toy that only adults use." The fish looked at her in a confused state, until his mouth opened a bit and his eyes widened.
"Oooooh..." He said. "Is it one of those toys that you insert in the place where babies pop out of?" Nicole's eyes shrunk down as she heard that. She was about to say no, but she didn't want him to get anymore suspicious, so she said.
"Yes." She spoke. The fish stood there, but smiled.
"Ok!" He said. "I'm gonna go for a walk. I'll be back soon!"
"Ok!" Nicole said. "Just don't be out too long, alright?" The fish then happily skipped out the door, closing the door behind him. Nicole sighed in relief, then glanced down at the battle axe.
"Insert inside my... this thing won't even fit in my butt!" Nicole said frustrated a bit. But she only shook her head, thankful that Darwin didn't ask too many questions. She then turned around and opened the door, showing the room full of weapons. She placed the battle axe back where it belonged, but her eyes were drawn to the letters. S. P. D. She looked at the ground.
"Aelita told Gumball about her past." Nicole said. "I wonder if I should tell him my own past too..." She then closed her eyes, remembering something else.
It was past nine-o-clock on a school night almost eleven months ago, sometime after the accident. Nicole was told on the phone that Gumball had gotten into a fight with Jamie earlier that day and the latter was in bad shape with a couple broken bones. Not only that, he disappeared, and he was gone the whole night. She was out with Darwin, who wouldn't rest until Gumball was found and brought home. They were nearby the forest, where Gumball would usually go to when he was in distress. Nicole was searching high and low for her son.
Pretty soon, she heard noises coming from a far, which sounded like trash bins. She made her way to the source. She ran towards the alley way, and saw someone digging through the trash, trying to eat something. To her surprise, it was Gumball.
"Gumball!" Nicole shouted, showing a worried yet angry expression. "Where have you been? We've been looking all over for you!" The blue boy cat turned his head around for her to see. Suddenly, Nicole's worried/anger face slowly melted away, and it turned to a face of fear. Before her was Gumball, but he was different... much different. His eyes had black sclera, and his cornea were glowing yellow with dragon slanted pupils. His arms were white and black, and his paws were now demonic claws, bloodied up. His upper forehead was black with a red glowing isignia on it with three yellow orbs, black antennaes, and his mouth had sharp teeth, also a bit bloody. The mama cat gasped as she saw the isignia on her forehead and the features her son possessed. She had seen those eyes before, the same eyes that she thought she would never see. Gumball gave a rabid growl, making the mama cat fall on the ground with a scared shout.
"No... impossible..." She whispered. Her son, now a monster, slowly approached her.
"マスト...キル... / Masuto... Kiru..." Gumball spoke through his sharp teeth.
"Gumball... Gumball, please!" Nicole said. "It's me... it's your mother! Remember?!"
"Gumball!" Another voice called out far behind Gumball, revealing to be Darwin with a smile of relief.
"Gumball, you're ok!" Darwin cheered as he ran up to his cat brother.
"No, Darwin, Don't!" Nicole shouted, making the fish stop in his tracks.
"Why?" Darwin asked, but it was too late. Gumball slowly turned his head, showing his yellow eyes and black sclera. The sight made Darwin's eyes shrink down to shock and his smile turned to a frown.
"G...Gumball?" Darwin asked.
"マスト...キル! / Masuto... Kiru!" Gumball shouted as he lunged at the fish with legs, who screamed as the blut cat pounced.
"NOOO!" Nicole shouted as her son was on top of the fish, showing his razor sharp teeth.
"Gumball, No!" Darwin shouted. "Don't hurt me! It's me! Your brother! Darwin!" Gumball raised his claw up, but then he froze, his eyes widened as he heard Darwin say his own name. The blue cat looked down at the fish, who was scared to the core. Suddenly, Gumball scanned the fish.
"D...Darwin?" Gumball asked, his voice a little demonic but his real voice was there though. "Darwin?"
"Yes, dude!" Darwin said. "It's me!" The cat leaned his head and sniffed the fish. He gasped in shock and slowly got off the fish.
"Gumball?" Darwin asked, as the blue cat backed away, showing fear.
"Gumball." Another voice spoke, making Gumball turn violently, ready to attack, but he soon realized that it was just Nicole. His mother. The blue cat looked at her.
"M...Mom?" Gumball asked.
"Yes, sweetie." Nicole said, seeing that she and Darwin were reaching him. "It's me! Your mother!" The blue cat looked around, and saw a broken mirror, seeing his reflection, and his monstrous appearance. He gasped, and looked down at his hands... his claws, all bloodied up.
"What am I...?" Gumball asked as he knelt down and began to break down in tears, horror and anxiety began to take hold of him. "What am I?" Suddenly, he felt the warm embrace of his mother, who hugged him tightly.
"It's ok, honey." Nicole said. "It's ok. It's going to be ok." The blue cat's eyes cringed as tears began to leak out. He hugged his mother tightly and cried.
"I'm sorry!" He said. "I'm sorry!"
"Shhhh... it's ok, Gummypuss." Nicole said. "It's going to be ok. Mommy's here." Darwin soon approached the two and gave a hug as well, allowing the three to be safe and in each other's embrace. Nicole knew what her son was... what he had become. But she also knew that he was still her son, the little optimistic boy she loves so much. He wasn't a monster... he wasn't a Shadow-Kaijin. He was her son. Always.
Nicole closed her eyes, allowing a single tear escape from her eye. She looked back outside, seeing Gumball and Aelita, getting out of the suit of combined clothes and happily playing the board game outside. She gave a determined look. She has kept her secret in the dark from Gumball and her family for far too long. Maybe it was time to tell them everything about her past, and tell her son what he really is.
"Maybe it's time... I told him the truth." She said. She knew it was the right thing to do. But now right now though, because he was playing with Aelita right now, so she's probably gonna have to wait. She put the battle axe back into the closet and closed the closet, allowing it to lock back up on it's own.
The sky was clear and the sun was shining down, as Mordecai and Rigby, the blue jay and brown raccoon, were sitting next to the foundtain, which continued to spray bits of water. They were drinking some soda as they were taking a little break from work. Yesterday they just got done mowing the park, and they recently ordered a Pizza. They were also waiting for Benson. It was payday, and they were eagerly waiting for their checks. During their waiting time, they were talking about Gumball and that girl he was talking with.
"So... that girl we saw hanging out with Gumball yesterday." Mordecai said.
"What about it?" Rigby asked.
"Well, you saw how close they were." Mordecai said.
"Close?" Rigby asked. "He was nuzzling against that girl's gut."
"Yeah, but you saw him smiling, though." Mordecai said. "He's happy. I haven't seen him this happy ever since the accident."
"Oh yeah." Rigby said. "The accident where a monster showed up out of nowhere, and mutilated the girl he loved since kindergarden."
"Uh huh." Mordecai said. "But now... now he's found love again. He's finally getting his life back on track."
"You're right." Rigby said. "I'm happy for him."
"Me too." Mordecai said. "Say, you wanna bet a buck that she's his new girlfriend?"
"Challenge excepted." Rigby said slyfully.
"HEY!" The shouts caught them both off guard. Turning their heads they saw Benson, looking red and angry as always.
"Benson!" They spoke.
"What are you two doing?!" He asked.
"Watching the sky." Mordecai said.
"You two are suppose to be mowing the park!" Benson shouted.
"We did!" Rigby said. "We mowed it yesterday." The gum machine glanced forward, and saw the park was actually trimmed.
"Oh... well, that's good." Benson said. "Now get up, we got a lot of work to do today." As he turned around, the blue jay and the raccoon glanced at each other and gave a nod.
"Hey um... Benson, we were wondering about something." Mordecai said.
"What?" Benson asked irritated.
"Well, yesterday was pay day and... well, we didn't receive our checks yet." Rigby said.
"I mean, there's no rush, but we were kinda wondering if-" Mordecai said.
"Oh yeah... thanks for reminding me, I was just going to give you guys something." Benson said with a smile, though his eyes were cringing up, as if he was up to something. "Here, take these." He reached into his fannypack and pulled out two pieces of paper.
"Aww yeah, the mucha!" Rigby said as he and Mordecai accepted the checks. But then, confusion and frowns appeared on their faces. They were not checks. They were blank pieces of paper.
"What's this?" Rigby asked.
"It's a piece of paper." Benson said.
"But it's not money." Rigby said.
"What the heck Benson, is this some kind of joke?" Mordecai asked.
"No... it's not a joke." Benson said. "Let me spell it out for you. I'm not paying you."
"Wait What?!" both of them said.
"Yeah, you heard me." Benson said. "You're not getting any money."
"Wait a second, why are we not getting money?" Rigby asked.
"Why?" Benson asked. "Why are you guys not getting paid? I'll tell you why! You both have done nothing but slack off for the past couple years and I'm sick of it!"
"What are you talking about?" Mordecai asked. "We get our work done!"
"Yeah, we get our work done!" Rigby said.
"Yes you do, but only when I make you guys do it!" Benson said, his body beginning to turn red as he got angrier and angrier.
"But you said to take things easy." Mordecai said.
"And besides, we've done some decent work around here." Rigby said. "And not only that, you never told us how to do most of the tasks you give us!"
"Wait, yeah he does-" Mordecai said.
"Stop Talking!" Rigby shouted. "How are we suppose to do our jobs when you don't give us pointers on how to do it?"
"Well that's not my problem!" Benson said. "And I... Don't... Care! From here on out, whenever I see you both slacking off, I'm deducting your pay. And since I've seen that seven times this whole week, you're not getting paid this month."
"What? That's Not Fair!" Mordecai said.
"And we need money!" Rigby shouted. "We just ordered Pizza!"
"Let me make this clear... I... DON'T... CARE!" Benson shouted. "If you want money you don't slack off, and if you slack off for even a second, you're not getting paid whatsoever! Now, I want you guys to get back to work... OR YOU'RE FIRED!" Mordecai looked at the manager and squinted his eyes. The blue jay then said one word...
"No." He said. Everyone froze.
"What?" Rigby asked.
"What?" Benson asked, his teeth gritting. "Did you... Just Say?"
"I said... No." Mordecai said.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Rigby ased.
"I'm sorry, did you just say No?!" Benson asked, with his body becoming even more red. "I've given you a direct order... And You... Say... NO?!"
"Yeah... I said no." Mordecai said, and then three words came out of his mouth.. "Cuz I Quit!" Rigby gasped as he heard the blue jay say those words.
"Wh...What?" Benson asked, his rage suddenly replaced with surprise.
"Yeah, I quit." Mordecai said. "If you're not gonna pay us for all the work we do, then I'm not gonna work at this job... jerkface." Rigby looked at his friend, and then at Benson.
"Yeah, and you know what?" Rigby asked. "I Quit Too!" The gum machine looked at the two with surprise and shock.
"What?!" He asked. "Wait a minute, you guys can't quit! I'm suppose to fire you!"
"Well you can't fire us if we already quit." Mordecai said. "Besides, this job sucks, and on top of that, you're nothing but a complete asshole who has no friends what so ever."
"What?!" Benson asked. "I do have friends!"
"No you don't." Mordecai said. "Everybody only listens to you because you're their friggin' boss. And you know, I hope whatever fate has in store for you bites you in the butt."
"Yeah!" Rigby said. "In fact, I'm going to do something that I've been wanting to do ever since we met ya." Taking up his soda, he then threw it forward, splashing Benson right in the face.
"What the hell, Rigby!" Benson shouted, followed by a can thrown at him by Mordecai.
"Mordecai!" Benson shouted, followed by the ball Rigby was holding thrown at his face, forming a crack on his glass dome head. The gum machine then twitched, and his entire body became red. "GAAAAAHHHH!"
"Ok, I think we pissed him off." Mordecai said.
"Let's get out of here!" Rigby said. In an instant, the blue jay slammed the accelerator, spun the cart around and drove off, while Benson began to throw a tantrum and chase after them.
Here I am, I got a J-O-B
Earnin' plenty o' dough for my family
Yeah, I'm Richard Watterson, employee
So have some R-E-S-P-C-K-T
I got a pizza in the box
I got a cola in the bottle
And I'll get it to ya faster
When I'm pullin' on the throttle!
Mild or spicy, my flavors will exhilarate ya
You get them double-quickly when I'm twisting the accelerator!
Twisting the accelerator!
Twisting the accelerator!
Richard was rapping as he was driving his scooter, wearing his pizza delivery uniform, with a box of pizza safe and tied in the back. Richard loved his new job. Not only was he providing for his family, but he also got to sit in the scooter without having to walk. And the only walking distance he had was from the scooter to the door, and vise versa. As he drove on, he saw a golf cart driving down the street, with Mordecai and Rigby driving it.
"Oh hey Mordo!" Richard called out. "Hey Rigs!"
"Hey Richie!" Mordecai called back.
"You guys order a Pizza?" Richard asked.
"Yeah, toss it to us!" Rigby shouted.
"Here you go!" Richard spoke as he grabbed one of the pizza boxes with Pizza in it, and tossed it to the blue jay and raccoon, who caught it successfully.
"Thanks dude!" Rigby called out.
"Don't tell Benson you saw us!" Mordecai called.
"Sure thing!" Richard called back as he kept driving with a smile on his face. He then saw Benson, still red with rage, running down the street.
"Hey Pissy Boss Guy!" Richard said as he passed him.
"GRRAAAAAGH!" Benson shouted as he kept running.
"Wow... wonder what he's pissed off about this time." Richard said. "Oh well." He then turned the corner to right up to the Elmore Gas Station. Parking into one of the spaces, he got up and picked up the boxes from the back. He then looked around, trying to find someone.
"Hmmm... the address said right here, so where's the customer?" He asked himself.
"You! Over Here!" The voice made him turn to see a guy in a nice black armored suit waving his hand. The big rabbit approached him.
"Yes, you ordered the pizza?" Richard asked.
"Yes we did." The man said.
"Well, here you go!" Richard said, giving the box to the man.
"Thank you." The man said. "Hey guys, I got pizza!" Then, coming from the row of black trucks came out a couple more guys in uniform. What was very distinctive about them was that they all had the symbol of an Eagle's beak, on their uniforms, and on their trucks... The guys gave a nod a cheer and appraoched him. The guy holding the box then gave Richard the money.
"And here's a tip!" The guy said, giving the rabbit a twenty dollar bill, surprising him.
"WHOA!" Richard said. "Twenty Bucks! Thanks dude!"
"Anytime!" The man said. "Have a good day!"
"Hope you boys have a nice day!" Richard said as he got back on his scooter and took off driving, singing his rap song.
"Hey Drex! You want some pizza?!" The guy asked. Inside the gas station, stood Drex Archo, scanning the isle, searching for something. He's here. He made it to Elmore. And soon he will be closer to his prize, only if he could figure out where the street was.
"Excuse me sir!" A voice called him. Turning his head, he saw Larry at the counter.
"Are you looking for something?" Larry asked.
"Actually yes." Drex said as he approached him.
"Well if you're looking for the restroom, it's down the hall on your left." Larry said.
"I'm not looking for the bathroom." Drex said, pushing Larry's hand aside. "I'm looking for someone, and I need directions. Have you seen a young girl with pink hair?"
"Girl with pink hair?" Larry asked as he began thinking. "Hmmm... now that you mention it, I think I have seen a girl with pink hair just yesterday at the Grand Diner. Well actually, I work at multiple stores because I have so many jobs around town to help keep up the mortgage."
"You do?" Drex asked as he leaned forward. "Do you know where she is?"
"No." Larry said.
"I see." Drex said. "Do you know where York Street is?"
"Well, I used to, but I don't take that direction anymore." Larry said. "There's a family down there that I try to avoid because... wait, why are you asking me these questions? Who are you guys?" Before Larry could ask anymore questions, the mercenary grabbed him by the shirt, pulling him up to his face, and frightening him.
"Tell me... where the street is." Drex said.
"Sir, you're not allowed to threaten me." Larry said. Bad move on Larry's part, for that made Drex raise his metal hand, and it transformed into a blaster, locked and loaded.
"You were saying?" Drex asked, aiming the gun at the origami rock's head, who began sweating.
"Um... you're not allowed to carry guns in the gas station." Larry said. "Spoons also included."
Drex then left the store, where a tied up Larry was behind the counter, except the poor origami rock's body was tangled up like a human pretzel. The mercenary approached the trucks, where his men were eating some pizza.
"Hey man, you want pizza?" One of them asked.
"No." Drex said.
"So, what'd you find out?" The soldier asked.
"Nothing." Drex said. "Either these people here are useless, or this entire town is just... dense." Then he heard a sound coming from the sidewalk. There was Darwin passing by, humming a happy tune. Of course he was happy because now he has a new older sister.
"You there!" Drex called out, getting the fish's attention. Turning around, Darwin looked at the man confused, and looked around.
"Me?" He asked.
"Yes you." Drex said. "Come here. We have something to ask you."
"Sorry, I'm not aloud to talk to strangers." Darwin said. "It's a moral thing."
"Do you not know who I am?" Drex asked.
"No." Darwin said.
"I am a man who is with the top organization, and I catch criminals." Drex said. "I want to know if you've seen anyone that is... not like anyone else in this town?"
"Uhhhhhhh... well, to be honest sir, nobody here in Elmore is like anybody else." Darwin said. "And again, I'm not aloud to talk to you because you're a stranger." The man only raised an eyebrow, then gave a sigh and half grin.
"A wise choice boy." Drex said. "You should probably run along home now." The man then lifted his hand onto the side of the car window, revealing his metallic arm. Darwin froze instantly upon seeing the arm. He then suddenly recalled Aelita telling him and Carrie about her ordeal and how her friends were slain by a man with a metal arm. The fish with legs began to sweat.
"Ok... I'm gonna go... bye." Darwin said as he gave a fake smile and waved, walking away, and started running as he got far away enough. Drex looked at the fish with suspicious. He noticed that the fish was looking at him funny, as if he was scared... or knew something.
"Sir, we have a location of the street and address." One of the men spoke.
"Good, let's take off." Drex said. With a nod, the men got into the trucks, leaving the open pizza boxes behind. As they got into their trucks, Drex got into his own personal vehicle. A black jet doom buggie with armored detailing. They then drove off, heading to their location.
As Darwin got far away enough, he was able to hide in one of the bushes and took a peek. He saw the trucks driving away, but Darwin knew where they were most likely going. Making his move, he quickly took on running, taking the shortcut to the house.
"I Need to Tell Gumball!" Darwin thought as he made his way home, knowing that his family and Aelita were in danger!
"DODJ OR DAAR!" Gumball and Aelita shouted with smiles. "Roll the Dice, Pick a Card!" It wa Gumball's turn. He tossed the dice down, rolling a seven, and he drew a card.
DAAR: You must build a house using only objects from the trash.
"Alright!" Gumball said as he cracked his fingers. "Watch and learn." He then gathered everything from the trash pile, and started to get to work, using the tools from the shed to connect everything he had, building a big house, using the wood pieces to keep it up, trash bags for the window, and the metal plates as the covers. Aelita watched with amazement.
"Wow." She said, seeing Gumball building the house. "Aren't you worried that you might get hurt?"
"Why would I get hurt?" Gumball asked, before almost losing his balance on the wobbly building.
"Well, it looks a little unsafe." Aelita said.
"Sometimes, you just gotta take risks." Gumball said.
"Gumball!" Darwin shouted frantically, making his way over the fence. "We Got A- what the?" The fish with legs looked up and saw Gumball building a house with the trash objects.
"Oh, hey buddy." Gumball said. "Whassup?" Darwin began to show a bit of anger.
"You guys are playing Dodj or Daar?" Darwin asked. "Without Me?!"
"I asked you if you wanted to play a game with us, but you said you didn't want to intrude on me and Aelita's alone time." Gumball called down from wobbly building.
"Well, you should've told me you guys were playing this game!" Darwin said.
"Well, excuse me for- WHOA!" Gumball shouted as the house below him began to lose it's balance and begin to break apart. The blue cat fell down from the top and into the pile of trash, hard on his face. Aelita gasped.
"Gumball!" She called out as she ran towards the pile, kneeling down to see if Gumball's ok. "Are you alright?"
"Ooowwww... that hurt so much... Ow..." He answered, his face buried into the ground.
"Dude, are you alright?!" Darwin asked as he helped his cat brother up. showing some broken teeth on the ground. Gumball lifted his head up, and turned to Aelita.
"Is my face ok?" He asked. The girl froze, and then took a deep breath.
"Ummm... your face is still intact." Aelita said. Looking down, she saw a mirror on the ground. Picking it up, she put it in Gumball's view so he could see his face. And to be honest, it was a complete mess. He had a black eye, his teeth were missing, and his mouth was bleeding.
"My face... my beautiful face..." Gumball said. But then suddenly, his black eye quickly healed up, and his teeth began to grow back, and his mouth fixed itself! His face was back to it's usual self, as if he was brand new again! The two gasped in amazement.
"What?" Gumball asked.
"WHOA!" Darwin said. "You have healing powers!"
"Huh?" Gumball asked, as he picked took the mirror from Aelita and stared at it, seeing his healed up reflection.
"Whoa!" Gumball said. "My face healed up! I didn't know I could do that!"
"Do you think it's because of you... monster abilities?" Aelita asked, as the fish with legs looked at her with a bit of surprise.
"Wait, how did you know Gumball can turn into a blood thirsty monster?" Darwin asked.
"Darwin!" Gumball said.
"What?" Darwin asked. "It's true... sort of."
"He told me about it, yesterday." Aelita said.
"Oh, while you two were on your date?" Darwin asked. "Was it before you kissed or after you guys kissed?"
"Darwin!" Gumball and Aelita both said in unison, getting him to stop asking for the details.
"Ok, ok, sorry." Darwin said.
"Say, what were you gonna tell us?" Gumball asked.
"Tell you what?" Darwin asked.
"You know, you were gonna say something before you whacked the ball into my face." Gumball said. The fish then gasped.
"Oh yeah!" Darwin said. "Guys... I don't know how to say this but... you guys remember telling me about Aelita's past and all, and how those crazy militia guys killed everyone at her school?"
"Yes?" Gumball asked.
"Well, what I'm about to tell you is going to be scary and shocking to both of you." Darwin said. "So please, do not flip out.
"Ok, what is it?" Gumball said.
"Well... uhhh..." Darwin said.
"What?" Gumbal asked.
"Ummm... Uhhh..." Darwin said.
"Dude, Just Say It Already!" Gumball spoke loudly.
"Alright!" Darwin shouted. "The guy with the creepy robot arm and his guys who were after Aelita are here in town!"
Both kids froze in place, Gumball forming a slow gasp, while Aelita's face quickly turned white with fear. They just heard what Darwin said. The man with the robotic arm wa here in town!
"Oh no..." Gumball said. Those freaks Aelita told him about. They were here? But how?! He turned to see Aelita, who began to breathe in short breaths, and it quickly turned to hyperventilation, almost like Gumball's, but way worse than his.
"Darwin, Go Tell Mom, Now!" Gumball spoke. In an instant, the fist with legs ran into the house. Aelita fell to her knees as she continued to hyperventilate.
"They found me... They found me...!" She spoke. The blue cat then hugged her tightly.
"Aelita, it's going to be ok." Gumball said. "It's going to be ok."
Nicole was just outside on the front lawn, checking the mail. She opened the mailbox and looked over the envelopes containing either letters, bills, or all that mail stuff that nobody reads or doesn't usually matter anymore. She then froze suddenly, feeling some uneasyness around her. Lifting her eyes up, she looked both ways and scanned the area around her. Her mother senses were tingling, as if something was going to happen.
Moving her eyes a bit slantly, she saw from the far distance some black trucks driving down the street. They were pretty far away for the naked eye to see, but Nicole can see things far away. Her instincts were telling her something, that something bad was going to happen. Suddenly, the sound of a motor pulled her from her right. Turning her head, she saw Richard pulling up in his scooter.
"Hi honey, just stopping by to see if you wanted Pizza tonight." Richard said. Turning her head back front, she saw the black trucks get close. "Honey?"
"Richard, Get in the house now!" Nicole said.
"But my shift's not done?" Richard asked.
"GET IN THE FUCKING HOUSE NOW!" Nicole shouted. As if on command, the pink rabbit ran into the house and Nicole turned her head, seeing the trucks coming closer. Quickly, she made her way back into the house, closed the door behind her. It was happening. This was really happening. Those people Aelita mentioned. They found them. But the question is... how?
"Mrs. Mom!" Darwin called as he came into the living room. "Those guys that are after Aelita! They're here in town!"
"I already know." Nicole said. The sound of the backdoor closing caught their attention, seeing Gumball excorting Aelita into the house. The girl was still white as a sheet, and her hyperventilation was rising. The mama cat approached her and gave her a hug.
"It's alright Aelita." Nicole said. "We're not gonna let them take you, alright?" The girl was still breathing too fast.
"Gumball, take her to the basement." Nicole said. "There's a small crawl space she can hide in until they leave."
"Do you think she'll fit?" Gumball asked.
"I'm sure." Nicole said, and then stroked the girl's hair. "Don't worry, You wait there until you hear us say it's safe, ok?" The girl gave a nod.
"Ok, Now hide!" As the girl clung onto Gumball, he took her down the basement. Nicole then turned toward the door, hearing the sounds of vehicles parking. Moving to the door, she opened it, seeing the trucks pulling up to their yard, pushing their car out of the way. Darwin leaned from behind her, seeing the trucks. Anais, who was coming down the stairs, also looked to see. Gumball then came up the stairs from the basement, with Aelita probably in her hiding spot. He moved next to his mom, with Richard coming down the stairs, more like tumbling down face first. Nicole moved out the door onto the porch, examining the trucks, seeing a Hydra's head on the vehicles. The trucks opened up, showing soldiers in uniform... and guns. The black jet doom buggie with armor moved up as well. Stepping out of it was Drex Archo. He closed the door, his trench coat flowing with the wind, and his metal arm was shining from the sun's reflection. Nicole squinted her eyes. She didn't recognize the man, but after hearing Aelita's description of the men who were after her, this was definitely the man with the metal arm. Her kids and husband leaned from behind her, crouching a bit with worriesome.
"Nicole... they have guns..." Richard said.
"I know Richard... just keep calm." Nicole hissed with her teeth gritting.
"You must be the Wattersons." Drex said as he approached the walkway.
"Yes... yes we are." Nicole said, making her way down the steps.
"Lovely house you have." Drex said.
"Well it's not for sale, if you want to buy it." Nicole said.
"No need." Drex said, and took a quickly glance at Darwin, who cowered behind Gumball. "Well as if fate crossed our paths again." He then glanced at the teenage blue cat, and then at the little pink bunny who was watching from the porch. "You have such darling children."
"Thank you." Nicole said, keeping her cool. "Now, what is it that you gentlemen need?"
"And what can I do make you leave?" She thought.
"We have gotten word from an anonymous caller that you and your family... are harboring a fugitive in your home. And from what we know, it didn't come from you." Everybody didn't pay attention to the pink bunny behind Gumball cower a bit behind the blue cat.
"Well, I don't know who told you that, but you have it all wrong." Nicole said. "We're just a regular normal family... well, most of us at least." She turned to her husband, who was picking his ear. He stopped when everyone stared at him.
"Well, you don't look like a ...regular normal family." Drex said. "Now... where's the girl?"
"What girl?" Nicole asked.
"The girl that you're hiding." He answered.
"We're not hiding anyone." Nicole said. Drex turned his head, to see her kids, trying to show straight faces, though there was a tint of sweat on their foreheads.
"Your kids say other wise." Drex said, and then approached the three kids. "So they are your lovely children? Revolting."
"Excuse me sir, we are not revolting." Gumball said. "We're... um... I can't find the word to describe us actually."
"Do you not know what we do?" Drex asked. "We catch criminals, and bad guys, and you all hiding a fugitive makes you bad guys as well."
"Hmmm, you guys seem to be from a highly respected organization, but yet you don't have any trinkets or any form of identification to show your disposition." Anais stated, in which Drex raised his eyebrow.
"Hmmm, that's quite a lot of words coming from a little girl like you." Drex said. "You sound wise beyond your age." Anais then hesitated.
"Wait, what I meant was..." Anais said. "Duuuuhhhh... I'm sow dwumb, blah blah... dudududududuh!" The pink bunny then began making funny faces, trying to hide her genius quality. Drex only rolled his eyes, then glanced at Darwin, who was showing traces of sweat on his head.
"I can see the fish sweating as if he's afraid." Drex said.
"I am afraid sir." Darwin said. "Just of you guys."
"Yeah, you're scaring my brother here." Gumball said, petting his brother. "So back off!"
"Brother?" Drex asked. "How can a fish be a brother to a cat? Cats usually eat fish."
"Ok first off Mister, Darwin isn't just a fish, he is my brother." Gumball said. "And sure, I am a cat, and yeah, I've been craving tuna a lot lately... wait that's not helping at all. What I'm trying to say is, despite us being different species, Darwin is my brother. We adopted him. We took him into our home! And we love him! And you should be ashamed of saying stuff like that." Drex shifted a bit, showing his metal hand. Gumball then stared at the hand for a few seconds. This was him, he thought. The man Aelita described. Gumball looked at the man, and showed a very hateful glare. Seeing this, Nicole cleared her voice, getting the man's attention.
"For your information sir, we don't know anything about a girl." Nicole said, stepping forward. "We have nothing to hide." Drex moved up to her face.
"We'll see." Drex said. "Men, search the house! From top to bottom."
"Yes sir." The militia men said as they moved into the house.
"Wait, do you have a warrant?" Gumball asked. "You need a warrant to do that."
"My face is my warrent." Drex said as he approached the house. "My hand is my warrent. Men, search up and down, and leave no stone unturned."
"Hey, stay out of my roo-" Gumball spoke, but he was stopped by his mother.
"Gumball please." Nicole said. The blue cat only listened and stayed put. But he was worried. He was truly hoping they wouldn't find Aelita. The men went into the house, and searched everywhere. They searched under the couch, in the hall closet. In the parents bedroom, in Anais' room, in Gumball and Darwin's room, under their beds, even in the refrigerator. Then, they moved down the basement, searching. They didn't notice, but Aelita was in the crawl space, with the wall closed so nobody could see inside. Drex then scanned the area, seeing nothing down here, like nobody's been down here in years. It is funny that the Wattersons had this house for years and yet they barely went into the basement. The man then raised his metal arm, which then transformed into a flashlight. Clicking it on, he searched the area, up, down, left, and right. There was nothing to be seen. He then moved toward the small wall, and saw that the tile was tilted a bit. He then approached it slowly, his light switched back to his metal hand. He slowly moved toward the wall, and grabbed the edge of the tile. With a strong pull, he flipped it open, seeing into the crawl space. To find nothing. Nothing was in there. Nobody was in there. He leaned his head in a bit, looking left and right, still seeing nothing. With a defeated sigh, he moved away from the crawl space, and turned back to his men.
"Nothing's down here." Drex said, as some men leaned down the steps.
"There's nobody in here sir, not even in the Shed." They spoke. Drex then took one last look in the basement, then went up the stairs, not even knowing that Aelita was clinging to the ceiling of the crawl space, inclining that she must've moved up there to make sure nobody would see her. Lifting her head up, she heard the men go up the stairs and close the door. There was sweat on her forehead, but she gave a sigh of relief, glad that they didn't find her.
The men then exited the house, with Drex coming out first, and the militia following suit.
"There's no one inside the house sir." The man said, as Drex looked back at Nicole.
"See, nobody's here." Nicole said.
"True, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook just yet." Drex said, who then turned to Richard, who was sweating a bit. "Because your husband seems to be a little off balanced." He then approached the older rabbit, who was trying to keep calm.
"I recognize you. You're the fat rabbit who delivered the boxes of pizza to us. You definitely look like someone who's willing to save his own life." As Richard kept sweating some more, Drex got close to his face, and glared, with his fist raised up, morphing into a gun.
"You sure there isn't anything you're hiding?" Drex asked. "Anything... at all?" Upon seeing the gun hand, Richard's eyes widened and pupils shrank down to the size of pencil tips. He began to tremble and couldn't hold it in anymore.
"OK, I Confess!" Richard shouted. "Two years ago, I tricked the boys into doing my chores, challenged them to a lazy-off, let them win and made myself look like I was doing all the work when I actually wasn't so Nicole could force the boys to do my work for me-hehehehe!" Richard then sulked to the ground, as the Hydra Force, and Wattersons stood there quite shocked.
"WHAT?!" Nicole asked as she marched toward Richard. "Richard how could you do that to your own children?"
"I'm sorry Nicole!" Richard said. "It's been eating at me for the past couple years now! And the guy with the creepy robot arm was scaring me so much!" Nicole took in a deep breath and exhaled in a calm manner.
"We're gonna have a talk about this later." Nicole said to her husband, who whimpered.
"Um, can we get an apology for that by the way?" Darwin asked.
"In a minute, boys." Nicole said, then turned to Drex. "Like I said, nothing to hide." The man with the metallic arm looked back at the large bunny, then at the small one, and then back at the boys, who smiled nervously.
"Hydra, let's move out." Drex said as he headed for his truck. Gumball and Darwin sighed in relief, with the former taking a step forward, unaware that the step caused a slow low beep from the vehicles, which one of the men noticed.
"And please sir, don't bother us again." Gumball said as he and Darwin moved back to the house.
"You're luckly that I won't." Drex said as he moved toward his Buggie.
"I can't believe you got the boys into trouble..." Nicole hissed at Richard.
"I know... I feel so bad about it..." Richard said. "And least we get a happy ending..."
"Let's go, we're done her-" Drex said.
"Sir wait." One of the men in the suits spoke.
"What?" Drex asked.
"I think we should check the blue kid..." He said.
"Why?" Drex asked.
"The scanner just went off." The man said. Drex lifted his head, staring back at the soldier.
"Are you sure?" Drex asked.
"Yes..." The man finished. Drex then turned around, and looked straight at Gumball Watterson.
"You, little boy." Drex said, getting Gumball's attention.
"Sir, I'm fourteen, so I'm not a little boy." Gumball said.
"I don't care." Drex said. "Don't move." Gumball froze in place, as did the other Wattersons. What did they want now? From what Gumball was seeing, the man in the suit gave Drex a strange device that looked like a scanner.
"Boy, step forward." He said.
"Wh...What's that thing?" Gumball asked.
"I said Step Forward... Now..." Drex said. Gumball was a bit surprised, looking back at his family, who were also confused. Taking a deep breath, Gumball took a couple steps forward. Drex turned on the device and stepped toward the blue cat. As Drex got close however, the device began to beep, faster and faster with each passing step. As Drex got an inch close to the blue cat, the device beeped out of control, and a symbol on the monitor began to show and display...
SHADOW-MUTANT DETECTED
HYBRID CONFIRMED
Drex then smiled.
"I'll be damned... You're one of them." He said.
"What?" Gumball asked. "One of what?"
"He's a Hybrid!" Drex called out. "Collar him and lock him up!"
"Wait, What?!" Gumball asked as the men stepped forward.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Darwin asked as the men approached Gumball and took him by the wrists.
"Gumball!" Nicole called out as she saw her son being dragged away.
"Hey, Let Me Go!" Gumball shouted as he tried to move away, but their grip was strong that he couldn't.
"Let go of my brother!" Darwin shouted as he tried to move in, only to be grabbed by the men too.
"And take the family as well!" Drex said.
"Hey, this was suppose to be a happy ending!" Richard shouted, who was then taken by the men as well.
"Wait, Stop This!" Nicole shouted as the other men approached her. "You don't have the authority to do this!"
"My Face... and my Arm... is the authority!" Drex spoke. "Put them in the car!"
"Mommy!" Anais shouted as some of the men picked her up and took her away. Within an instant, Nicole quickly went into Mama-Lion mode, and kicked the men who were approaching her.
"Let My Son Go!" Nicole shouted as she moved toward the men pulling Gumball away. But she was then stopped and toppled by two of the men in suits. She struggled to get them off, but Drex raised his metal arm, which then shifted into a gun, and pointed it directly at the mama cat.
"Did you honestly think that was going to work?" Drex asked, then lifted his head to his troops. "Take the family away!"
"Mom!" Gumball shouted as he was pulled away. "Mom, Help!"
"Mommy, Don't let them take us!" Anais shouted.
"Please, I'm just a fish with legs!" Darwin cried.
"Stop Touching Me!" Richard shouted. "I have the right to defend myself!"
"STOP!"
Everyone froze, all turning their attention toward the porch, revealing none other than Aelita herself. Gumball's eyes widened as he saw his friend. The girl was no doubt sweating, and tears were forming in her eyes.
"Please... don't hurt them..." Aelita said as she stepped down the steps and onto the yard. "Take me instead... I'm the one who you're after... Just let them go..." Within an instant, Drex rose himself from his knees, moving his metal gun from Nicole's head. The mama cat was a bit worried, seeing the man approach the young girl. The man stood there in front of her, face to face.
"Well, what do you know..." Drex said as he raised his arm, pointing his gun at her, which then shifted into his metal claw. "Guess they really were hiding you. It has been a long time hasn't it. I remember when you watched your little friends die in front of you... one by one." The girl only stood there, tears were not dripping down, but showing. Seeing him distracted, Nicole slowly reached for her rainbow badge. Clipping it off, it then emitted an electrical spark, showing it to be some sort of a tazer.
"You're coming with me... silly girl." Drex said as he grabbed the girl by her shirt. Gumball, not wanting him to take her away, slipped through the other soldiers' grasp.
"NOOOO!" Gumball shouted as he charged toward him, with Drex shifting around, his metal arm turned into a gun and fired.
-BOOM-
Everything flashed as Gumball was shot in the head, blood gushing out. Everyone froze in shock and horror, and Nicole screamed as her son was shot. The blue cat then fell to his knees and leaned forward to the ground as the life in his eyes disappeared.
"GUMBALL!" Aelita screamed as the boy fell to the ground, dead. Tears were forming in Darwin's eyes, his brother was dead on the floor, blood seeping out of his head, and his eyes closed.
"Gumball..." He said with a trembling voice. Richard and Anais were shocked at what they saw.
"What a waste." Drex said, his metal gun reverting to his hand. Tears seeped down from Aelita's eyes, the sight of her friend dead on the ground was too much. But then her sadness was replaced with rage.
"YOU HEARTLESS BASTARD!" She screamed as she punched Drex a couple times, only for him to not flinch and quickly react as he whacked her with his hand, and grabbed her by the neck. His grip was choking her as he lifted her from the ground.
"Foolish girl." Drex said. "I lost a very valuable prize because of you... At least you were our main objective, and now we have what we want." As he spoke, Gumball's eyes suddenly opened up, showing his eyes all black, and his pupils glowing yellow. As his bullet wound began to close up, his forehead began to shift into black, with three other eyes opening up, and a strange sigil began to glow below them. His hands began to extend demonic claws, two black antennaes popped out from the top of his head, and some spikes emerged on his tail. His body slowly limped up, with a pair of monstrous wings and black spider-like legs gushing out of his back, and lifted him off the ground. Nicole, Richard, Darwin, and Anais were watching this, either in shock or horror, as were some of the men.
"Um... sir?" They spoke.
"What?!" Drex asked turning around, but then froze in place, seeing Gumball off the ground.
"GRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The blue cat roared in rage, showing his fangs, and slanted demonic eyes. Drex was quickly startled by this, so startled that he threw Aelita to the ground. Raising his arm, his hand morphed into a gun and fired. The shots hit Gumball, but it didn't seem to affect him, for the bullet wounds quickly healed up, like Wolverine and his healing powers. With another loud screech, he charged toward Drex and pounced him, sending him against the fence. While they were shocked, the men raised their guns and fired, but the cat was not affected what so ever!
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" He screeched as the blue cat attacked the other men, mauling them to pieces. In the midist of the chaos, Nicole saw this opportunity to grab one of the men pinning her down, and with her Rainbow Badge, she electricuted him. One of the other men approached Nicole from behind, but the mama cat quickly swung her leg, tripping him. Then she threw a few punches on the man coming from the right. She then grabbed his neck, and with a quick pull, she cracked his neck, killing him. As he dropped to the ground, Darwin, Anais, and Richard stood there, completely frozen in shock. Either from Gumball's sudden transformation, or the fact that their mom just killed someone trying to kill her!
"Kids! Run for it!" Nicole shouted.
"Where?!" Darwin shouted.
"Head for the Shack, and Cut through the Yards, Now!" Nicole called out. "Richard, Go!" On command, Richard quickly grabbed Darwin and Anais and took off.
"Wait, Gumball!" Darwin called out.
"We Gotta Go!" Richard shouted as he took off with the kids through the backyard. Turning her attention, she saw Aelita on the ground, curled up and her hands over her head, hyperventilating. The mama cat quickly moved in and knelt down.
"Aelita, we have to go!" Nicole said. "It's alright sweetie, we gotta go!" The mama cat quickly helped Aelita to her feet. The girl's attention was turned to Gumball, who was charging foward and ripping some of the men to shreds, as Drex tried to shoot, but the bullets were ineffective.
"Aelita!" Gumball called out, his voice sounded demonic, but there was still some of his normal voice mixed with it. "Run! Get Out of Here!"
"C'mon Aelita, Let's Go!" Nicole shouted as he grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her toward the house.
"But Gumball!" Aelita shouted.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine!" She said as they both ran into the house. Drex turned his attention toward them, and clicked his gun.
"Oh no, you don't!" Drex shouted as he aimed his gun and fired. The shot missed them both as they ran into the house. Nicole then grabbed her rainbow badge and threw it at Drex, which stabbed him in his left chest, electricuing him. But he then pulled it off, as if it didn't effect him. Crushing the badge with his metal claw, it morphed again into a gun, and took aim. Nicole closed the door, and took cover, as did Aelita, who hid behind the couch. The sounds of gunshots made her curl up and scream, her hands over her head. Fear was striking her so hard, that she couldn't move.
"Aelita, wait here!" Nicole said as she got up and moved to the small hallway closet, dodging the bullets that fired through the walls and door. Opening the closet, and pressing her hand on the end of the wall, there was a small key combination that flipped and revealed itself. She typed a few words in it, and it spoke.
Access Granted!
The wall then opened up, revealing the weapons that were inside. She took them all, placing them all in the bag that was inside the closet, she took out one of the pistols. Closing the door in front of her and carrying the bag over her shoulder, she saw the front door open up, revealing Drex Archo.
"You are under arrest." He hissed.
"Fuck off!" Nicole growled, raising her blaster and fired, sending him off the porch. As he landed, he rose up, but felt emense pain on his chest. Looking down, he saw the blast burnt the upper part of his coat. Taking this opportunity, Nicole went back to the closet, and typed in a few more numbers into the pad, a couple words came up and displayed.
SELF DESTRUCT INITIATED!
As the timer counted down, Nicole ran back to Aelita.
"Come on Aelita, Let's Get Out Of Here!" She said, extending her hand out. The girl looked up. She was still hyperventilating.
"It's ok sweetie!" Nicole said. "Take my hand!" Giving a quick nod, she grabbed her hand, and the mama cat pulled her up. They then ran into the kitchen and out the backdoor. Drex got up to his feet.
"Don't just stand there!" Drex shouted. "After them!"
"Yes Sir!" The men called out. "Move in, Move in!" The men passed him and went around the house. The mercenary then turned his attention to Gumball, who slammed one of the soldiers into Mr. Robinson's car, busting it up, and then pulled off the other soldier's arms right off, causing blood to be gushed out of the sockets. As the soldier laid down bleeding to death, Gumball was then drinking the blood from the arm pieces that were gushing out the fluids. As he slammed them down to the ground, the demon cat then looked both ways, and down at the ground, seeing the pool of blood in front of him. Though it was dark, he could see his reflection. Gumball stared and growled at the image, but then he froze... seeing that it was himself. After a few seconds, Gumball's eyes widened with realization, and glanced down at his hands... no... his claws, all bloodied up.
"Wha… what's happening?" Gumball spoke, his eyes reverting to normal. "Wh...What did I just do?!"
-BOOM-
"Gah!" Gumball shouted as a bullet ripped through his sides, making him kneel down. Turning his head, he saw Drex Archo, reloading his gun.
"You are a monster." He said. "A hybrid of a Shadowkan and another creature. What wonders we'll have when we unlock your genetic code, and allow humanity to live in eternity!" Gumball glanced down at his side, and saw that it healed up quickly. Taking this moment, he sprouted his newfound wings and took off flying, leaving Drex all alone.
"You cannot hide from me, Hybrid!" Drex said as his gun transformed back into a hand. He then pressed a button on his wristwatch, and then the belt around his his waist began to glow.
"Death Metal..." He spoke as he clicked the belt, and it began to light up. His then raised his arms into the air. "TRANSFORM!" Swinging his arms down, his body began to glow and flash, while a metal and futuristic suit began to form all over him. His boots, gauntlets and shoulder pads were pure metal with spikes, his suit was a cyanish color with red detailing on his armor, and his helmet was shaped similar to a hyena, though very vicious, more vicious than an actual hyena. And his right arm was much more armed... and dangerous.
"Let us see how you'll outrun me... Death-Metal Armor Hyena!" He spoke through his helmet.
"MY CAR!" Turning his head, Drex saw Mr. Robinson coming out of the house, and seeing his precious car... destroyed.
"Who... Did... This!?" He asked. His wife Mrs. Robinson went to his side and whispered into his ear. Mr. Robinson then glared at Drex.
"You son of a bitch!" Mr. Robinson shouted and brought out his golf club. "You're gonna pay for messing with Gaylord Robinso-"
-BOOM-
Drex fired his gun, sending Mr. Robinson across the sidewalk. His body fell limp, bleeding, while there was some grunts coming out of his mouth. Mrs. Robinson however, glanced at her husband, then back at Drex, who clicked his gun. Seeing what would happen to her, she quickly ran back into the house.
"This place is starting to annoy me." He said.
Back with Nicole and Aelita, the mama kicked the backdoor wide open, and she and Aelita ran out. Looking forward, she saw Richard, Darwin, and Anais, all of them breaking down the fence.
"Nicole, Hurry!" Richard shouted. Looking back, the mama cat saw the timer on the closet door, counting down from 3...2...1...
"Get Down!" Nicole shouted as she grabbed Aelita and jumped toward the ground, with Richard grabbing the kids and jumping to the ground, him on his back so he wouldn't impact the kids.
-BOOM-
A firey explosion engulfed the house up, destroying everything inside... almost everything. Anais looked back at the house.
"Daisy!" Anais shouted, seeing her room destroyed, including her Daisy. But then a pink ball fell onto the ground, next to her, showing it was her Daisy the Donkey plushy, completely unharmed. She gave a smile and picked it up, nuzzling against it. However, the men with guns emerged from the side of the house, their guns aimed right at them.
"Oh No!" Richard shouted.
"C'mon!" Nicole shouted as she pulled Aelita off the ground and the two kept running.
"After them!" The men shouted. But then, in a loud zoom, a shadowy figure wearing a brown cloak appeared from above them. In his hand was a strange device. With a press of a button, it emitted a long green blade. With a mighty spin, he sliced the militia men up, causing them all to fall down. Nicole turned her head to see this mysterious figure save them.
He then unhooded himself, revealing it to be a teenager with blonde hair, with a front of it hanging a bit over his right side, with both eyes a greenish color. Under his cloak, he wore a white zipped up shirt with two lines at the waist. One red and one orange. He also wore long green pants and white sneakers. He also had an orange and opal watch on his wrist. He quickly turned his attention to the Watterson Family.
"Hurry, get out of here!" He called out.
"Wait, Who Are You?!" Nicole asked surprised.
"No Time For Questions!" The boy answered. "Find a Car and Go! Now!" Giving a nod, Nicole took Aelita, and Richard took Darwin and Anais, running over the fences. The boy then turned back, seeing more men approaching. Tossing his cloak away, he held a firm grip on his Energy Sword, ready to fight.
"Stand Down!" One of the soldiers said, and fired bullets. The boy then spun his energy blade about, like a Jedi deflecting energy bullets, but in this case, the boy was deflecting and bouncing back bullets, with multiple of bullets firing back at most of the men, killing them with their own ammo. The other soldier, who was confused, quickly aimed his, but the boy threw his energy blade straight into the enemy's chest. The soldier got to his knees, and the boy approached him, and yanked his blade out, with the guy falling backwards on the ground.
"That's what you get." He said, and made his way to the direction Nicole and her family went. One of the men on the ground reached for his walkie talkie.
"Send in reinforcements..." He spoke before dying on the floor. The family kept running throught the yard, passing and cutting through other people's property. But then, more black trucks began to emerge from all over, chasing after the family. Nicole held her blaster up and fired at the vehicles, some of the bullets hitting the truck's tires, making it sway out of control and into Mr. Small's house. After passing more yards, the family turned right, passing the side of the house.
"C'mon, let's go!" Nicole shouted as the others rushed through.
"Nicole, watch out!" Richard shouted, making Nicole look forward to see a car pulling up toward her. The mama cat acrobatically jumped over the car, startling Harold and Jackie, Tobias's parents, who were inside the car.
"Sorry, we're in a bit of a hurry!" Nicole said.
"What the hell?" Jackie asked.
"What's all that about?" Harold asked. Then suddenly, a black truck pulled up from behind the house and bashed into Harold's car. Two men came out of the window and drew their guns, causing the married couple to scream.
"Harold!" Jackie shouted. "Do Something!"
"Don't worry baby, I got this..." Harold said in a very serious voice. He then got out of the car and ran in the other direction.
"Sorry babe, but we're through!" He called out with a laugh, only to be run over by one of the armed trucks.
"Dumbass..." Jackie said with a hiss. The Wattersons and Aelita kept running down the street, with the mama cat seeing a nice yellow camero up ahead.
"We'll take that car up ahead!" Nicole said.
"Why?!" Darwin asked. "Is it a Transformer like that Bumblebee bot?!"
"No it's because it looks nice!" Nicole said. But before they got close enough, a black truck pulled up in front of them, with men jumping out from the back, drawing their guns out. The family stopped, and then a couple more black trucks arrived, surrounding the family.
"Don't move!" The men shouted, ready to fire.
"Hey!" The shout got their attention, turning back to the mysterious blonde boy. Lifting his right arm up, he pressed a button on his watch, sending a signal into the sky. Then suddenly, a strange figure flew down to the ground, sending a powerful wave that made some of the men fall to the ground. Glancing forward, they saw that the figure was actually a small robot, about half of the boy's size, white with blue arms and legs, light blue eyes, with two blue cylinders, one on each side of his head. Lifting his head up, his sensors targeted the men with guns.
"Robotboy! GO!" The boy called out, pointing forward. Upon command, the robot, Robotboy, activated his thrusters and charged toward the men, sending two of them flying across the street. Another one of them took aim and fired at the robots. But the robot was made of undentable and unbreakable metal, the bullets were harmless.
"Bad men hurt Tommy... Robotboy Hurt Bad Men Back!" The robot said. Flying in, he punched the man with the gun multiple times, and then hurled him into one of the other soldiers. He then flew straight up and back to the ground, slamming it with a shockwave, sending the soldiers flying.
"Whoa..." Darwin and Anais said amazed. The robot flew off the ground, and gave a satisfying smile.
"Robotboy!" The boy called back as he ran up to his companion.
"Tommy!" Robotboy spoke as he hugged the blonde boy.
"Wow!" Darwin spoke, getting both their attention. "Dude, that's amazing! Is this your's?!"
"Oh, not really." The boy, Tommy said. "He's actually Professor Moshi-" Shifting his head, he froze upon seeing Aelita. His eyes widened with pure amazement. Pushing Darwin aside, he approached the pink haired girl. Nicole, a little suspicious, was ready to pounce him in case he tried something.
"Um... Hello..." The girl said.
"Aelita." He said.
"Huh?" She asked.
"Aelita." Tommy said. "You're name is Aelita Hopper Schaeffer? Daughter of Waldo Schaeffer and Anthea Hopper, Are You?!" The girl froze, hearing the names of her parents.
"Y... Yes?" Aelita asked. The blonde boy then gave a smile, with a couple tears beginning to form in his eyes.
"It's You!" He said as he hugged the girl tightly, confusing the girl even more.
"Wh...What?" Aelita asked.
"Professor Moshimo said you'd be alive somewhere! I knew it!" Tommy said. The girl looked at the boy, around fifteen or so. This boy knew her? How?
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Aelita asked.
"You don't remember me?" Tommy asked. "It's me! Tommy! Tommy Turnbull! I'm the boy you used to babysit whenever my parents were out. You know, the boy who would talk about robotics and such?" The girl looked at the boy closely for a brief moment, seeing his green eyes and blonde hair. She then gasped, remembering of a boy much younger between six and ten, having the same hair and eyes, and of course the square shaped face. This was that boy! The boy she would look after whenever his parents were out.
"Oh my god, it is you!" Aelita said. "You're the boy I would watch frequently!" She looked at him from top to bottom and bottom to top. Last time she had seen him was almost ten years ago, and he was pretty small. But now he's a little bit over her height.
"Wow, look how big you've gotten." She said.
"Yeah, I know." Tommy said, scratching his head. "And you're looking..." As he examined her, he then noticed the bump on her tummy, making his smile disappear.
"You're looking... um... roundish today?" he asked, showing blush marks. The girl looked down at her pregnant belly, her hands on it as she blushed.
"Um... it's been a tough ride." She said with a nervous smile.
"There They Are! Don't Let Them Get Away!" The voices turned their heads toward more mercenaries approaching them.
"Talk Later!" Tommy said, then turned to Nicole. "Jump start a car, now!" The mama cat gave a nod, and approached the yellow camero. Kicking the side of the door once, the door opened open, and she quickly pulled the wires out and mix them together.
"I said freeze, or we will shoot!" The soldiers shouted.
"Dude, you guys have been shooting us!" Darwin shouted. Tommy turned to Robotboy.
"Ro, time to Super-Activate...!" He said.
"Yes, initiating Super-Activation!" Robotboy said as he flew up. His angel blue eyes then shifted to a dark bright red. Fist bumping both fists together, his entire body began to grow to about seven feet tall, becoming boxier, jutted and sharp, and more humanoid, with large jet powered feet and massive colossal fists.
"Whoa..." Everybody spoke. The mercenaries looked a bit surprised. In an instant, Robotboy rose his hands up, shifting them into rocket launchers, and emitting two more arms with laser cannons, ready to fire.
"Oh Shit!" One of the mercenaries spoke, and they started to run away too late, as Robotboy fired lasers and rockets upon the foes, either blowing them away, blowing them up, or sending them to oblivion. As the mercenaries were cleared out, Nicole finally jump started the camero up.
"Car's ready, let's move!" Nicole shouted.
"Alright, c'mon kids!" Richard shouted as he picked up Darwin and Anais, throwing them into the back. Seeing the Wattersons getting ready, Tommy looked up at Robotboy.
"Ro, Fly up and circle around!" Tommy said. "Stay on our tail, I'll signal you if needed, ok?" Despite the lack of speech, the tall robot gave a nod and flew up into the sky, and the blonde boy ran toward the others, just as Nicole helped Aelita into the car.
"Wait, I'll drive!" Tommy called.
"Do you have a licence?!" Nicole asked.
"No, but I know how to drive." Tommy said as he pushed Nicole into Richard's lap from the driver side, and got into the driver's seat.
"Everybody put your seatbelts on!" Tommy shouted as he strapped his on, along with everyone else. "Let's Ride!" He stepped on the gas pedal and the car drove off, speeding away, unaware that some more black trucks drove off after them.
They didn't actually think that it would be possible, but the blue jay and the raccoon were able to flee from Benson. The two buddies just sat there in the cart, watching the street.
"Man, I can't believe we just did that." Mordecai said.
"I'll say." Rigby said. "I didn't actually think you were gonna say that."
"Me neither, but I guess it was gonna happen anyway." Mordecai said.
"Let's just hope Benson doesn't find us." Rigby said. "Sure he can't fire us now, but the way we just splashed his face like that, he's gonna kill us for sure." The two just sat there, with Rigby opening up a bag of chips, ready to eat them.
"You know what?" He said. "Maybe we can find a better job, one where our supervisor doesn't get to be an jackass all the time."
"Nah, I don't think so." Mordecai said. "I've been doing some thinking in the past couple weeks, and I was thinking about qutting before all this started."
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Rigby asked.
"I was gonna tell you this next month, but I'm thinking about maybe going back to Art school, or maybe go to college, I dunno." Mordecai said. "I wasn't kidding when I said working at the park sucks. I really need to find a career that I want to do that helps me make a living, you know?"
"What?!" Rigby asked. "Who gave you that idea? It better not be Margaret."
"No, it was something on my mind for a while now." Mordecai said. "I mean, we can't just play video games and work at the park forever. One day we're gonna have to get our lives on track, and might as well make it happen now."
"Well, you got one place to go back to, but I don't know what I'm gonna do." Rigby said as he began to wuff down his bag of chips into his mouth.
"Yeah, but maybe you can go to college with me." Mordecai said. "I mean, you did recently graduate high school, so I'm sure they'll let you in."
"Youf Fthingh?" Rigby asked with his mouth full. Usually, it's not that very polite to talk with a mouth full, but Mordecai found it very amusing.
"You want some milk?" He asked, pulling out a carton of milk. The raccoon gave a nod, and opened his mouth, in which Mordecai began to pour milk into.
-BOOM-
The sudden quake took them by surprise, making them look forward from their seats, with Mordecai still pouring the milk, right on Rigby's head. But their gaze was so focused, the raccoon didn't notice.
"What was that?" Rigby asked. They then saw a blue figure flying toward the ground, while multiple bullets were being fired right at him. The two recognized the little teen, seeing that it was Gumball.
"Wait, is that Gumball?" Mordecai asked.
"Dude, since when can he fly?!" Rigby asked in shock. The blue cat kept flapping his wings, but then a bullet hit them, causing him to fall straight to the ground face first. The two glanced at each other, got out of their cart and moved toward the blue cat.
"Gumball!" Mordecai said as they approached the cat. "Are you ok?!" The blue cat's ears... and antennaes twitched.
"Dude, are you playing dead?" Rigby asked
"GRAAAAAAAAHHH!" The blue cat screamed, showing his slanted black and yellow eyes.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Mordecai and Rigby shouted, in which the raccoon punched Gumball right in the nose.
"OW!" Gumball shouted. "What the F-OW! Oooooowww... that hurt!"
"Yeah well, don't scare us like that!" Rigby shouted. "Or you'll be kissing my feeeist!" The blue cat rubbed his nose, and his eyes reverted back to normal. But his features didn't.
"Dude, what happened?" Mordecai asked. "Why do you have blood on you?"
"And why do you have antennaes, wings, and badass mutant claws?" Rigby asked.
"Dude, some crazy psycho is chasing after me!..." Gumball said. "He's trying to kill me! I ended up killing some of his soldiers and-"
"Whoa whoa, dude, what are you talking about?" Mordecai asked. "Who's trying to kill you?" Then suddenly, there was a sound of a gun going off, with a bullet passing the blue jay and raccoon, both startled.
"Uhhh, maybe that guy?!" Rigby said, pointing straight at the shooter, revealing to be Drex Archo, still in his Death-Metal Armor Hyena form, with his metal gun aimed at them, and moving toward them.
"Come on dude, let's get you out of here!" Mordecai said as he picked up the blue cat and carried him to the cart, with Rigby following close behind.
"Don't worry, we'll keep you safe!" The blue jay said as he placed Gumball in the back.
"C'mon dude, he's getting closer!" Rigby shouted.
"Don't worry, I'm stepping on it!" Mordecai said as he got into the front seat and started the cart. Just as it started, someone quickly came up to the front of the cart, and slammed his fist on the front.
"YOU TWO!"
"AHHHH!" Mordecai, Rigby, and Gumball shouted, seeing that it was Benson, and he was flaming mad!
"Oh it's just Benson." Rigby said.
"Where do you two think you're going?!" Benson shouted. "I'm Not Done With You, Assholes!"
"Benson, now's not a good time!" Mordecai said.
"We gotta go!" Rigby shouted.
"Oh No You Don't!" Benson shouted. "You Give Me This Cart Back, Right Now!"
"No Way!" Mordecai said. "We paid for it!"
"So clearly it's ours!" Rigby said.
"Oh No It's Not!" Benson shouted. "Everything you purchase with the money you earn from working at the park is the Park's Property! Everything You Own, I Own!"
"Dude, you can't own anyone!" Rigby said. "Besides, we quitted our jobs, so everything that we bought with our hard earned money belongs to us!"
"Wait, you guys quit your job?" Gumball asked.
"He was refusing to pay us." Mordecai said.
"I DON'T CARE!" Benson shouted, his entire body beginning to go all red. "NOW GIVE ME THE CART BACK OR I'LL-"
-SCTREEECH-
"GAAAH!" Benson shouted, as blood began to explode from his chest, splattering all over the front of the cart.
"AAHHH!" Mordecai, Rigby, and Gumball shouted. Benson slowly leaned his head down, seeing a metal blade right through his stomach. Lifting his head up, he began to gurgle out words, coughing out gum balls and blood.
"You... Sonrg orgf afrg...berwwch-" Benson spoke, until the blade sliced up vertically. He slowly began to split up the middle in half, with pieces of his brain and organs falling out. He then collapsed to the ground, revealing Drex Archo, in full battle armor, with his metal arm, now a blade, pointing right at the boys. Mordecai and Rigby glanced down at Benson's lifeless body, then back at the man.
"What... The... Fuck?!" Mordecai asked in pure shock. Drex's hand then transformed into a blaster.
"He's Got a Gun!" Rigby shouted, then grabbed the milk carton and slammed it in Drex's face, making him stumble a bit.
"DRIVE!" Gumball shouted. Getting out of his trance, Mordecai quickly shifted the cart into reverse and slammed the pedal, backing the cart.
"Back Up, Back Up, Back Up, Back Up!" Rigby shouted as Drex aimed and fired. Luckily the boys had their heads down, saving them from being shot. They took off driving.
"Oh no you don't." Drex spoke as he charged after them.
Nicole's group were in the car, with Tommy driving onto the Elmore Expressway. His driving was fair, yet a bit swervy, almost making Aelita and Anais nauseous.
"Maybe you should let me take over!" Nicole shouted.
"No Thanks, I'm a much better driver than you!" Tommy said, revvin' up the engine to go faster.
"Well you don't do a very good job at it!" Nicole said. Looking back at the rear mirrors, he saw more of the armed trucks approaching them, with a couple of bikes closing in.
"AHHH!" Richard shouted. "The Scary Trucks Are Back!"
"Hold on, I'm gonna get rough behind the wheels." Tommy said as he curved the car, passing other cars who were driving. The trucks behind them drove after them, ramming into the back of other cars, making them turn out of control and crash. Apparently, the Hydra Force doesn't care for whoever gets in their way. Their only goal is to capture or kill their target, no matter the cost, even if the cost is innocent lives.
"Sweet Christmas!" Darwin shouted, looking out the window. "They totally yoshi'd those poor people!" Behind them, a couple of bikes, with the Hydra Force sigil upon them, also drove, pulling out their guns. They began to shoot, making the family scream. Luckily the bullets only hit the side of the car.
"Ok, Change of Plans!" Tommy spoke as he popped the driver door open.
"What the hell are you doing now?!" Nicole asked.
"You Drive, I Distract!" Tommy called out as he leaped from the seat onto the top of the car, while Nicole frantically took over the wheel. Pulling out his Energy Sword, he leaped onto one of the bikes, and sliced the rider on top, pushing him off and into a sign. From there, Tommy jumped into the seat and drove. Slowing down, he pulled out a robotic pistol and fired at one of the trucks, shooting the wheels and popping the tires, causing the vehicle to sway and ram into one of the signs that said Welcome to Elmore!, and flip over.
"Sir, we need assistance over!" One of the soldiers in the vehicles shouted.
"I'm busy at the moment!" Drex spoke over the phone. "Take your guns and kill them!"
"Yes Sir!" The soldier said. "Open Fire!" As on command, some of the mercenaries leaned out the windows, with guns drawn and fired, shooting at the car. The kids screamed in the back as the sounds of gunshots were heard.
"They're shooting at us!" Darwin shouted. A couple more shots were heard hitting the back of the car, startling them all.
"Kids, I need you to listen to me loud and clear, ok?!" Nicole asked, as all of them gave a nod. "I need you to open the bag up!" Taking her command, Anais opened the bag up, revealing the weapons Nicole placed in there. All of them yelped at the sight.
"Dude, what is all this!" Darwin asked.
"They're guns obviously." Anais said.
"Now kids, take those guns out and fire!" Nicole shouted.
"What?!" Anais asked. "Isn't that dangerous?!"
"Not as dangerous as disobeying your mother!" Nicole shouted. "Now Shoot at Them!" Without hesitating, Darwin pulled out one of the pistols, and Anais pulled out another. Leaning out the window a bit, they both took aim and fired, shooting at the trucks shooting back at them. One of Darwin's gunshots hit the truck in the middle, causing it sway to the right into the truck next to it, making them flip over and over several times until exploding.
"Yeah, I Got One!" Darwin shouted, however his little victory was cut short as more black trucks drove from the other side of the highway and drove onto the street, trying to ram the car.
"AHHHH!" Darwin screamed as he hid back into the car as more bullets came, and the trucks tried to ram the car.
"GAH, We're Gonna Die!" Anais shouted. "We're All Gonna Die!" She then turned his attention to Aelita. "This is all your fault! If Gumball hadn't brought you to our home, none of this would've happened!" But suddenly, Anais noticed that Aelita was barely listening, as her eyes were spinning and her face was a bit green.
"Aelita, are you ok?" Darwin asked.
"No..." She weakly said. "I don't feel so good..." She turned to her left and suddenly...
-BLAAGH-
Vomit quickly came out of Aelita's mouth as she hurled from the car sickness. And all that disgusting content was all over Anais, who sat there, disgusted.
"The... The slut... puked on me..." The Bunny spoke. Then...
-BLAAGH-
Anais vomited as well, this time on the floor of the car.
"Eww... but funny." Darwin said, only for him to scream as another shot was fired from behind, breaking through the glass of the back window. Looking into the rearview mirror, Nicole saw more trucks chasing them.
"Darwin, Give the Minigun to Richard, Now!" Nicole shouted. The fish with legs pulled out the minigun and threw into the front seat into Richard's lap, who began to yelp at the sight of it.
"Richard, listen to what I'm about to tell you!" Nicole shouted. "I need you to get out the car, climb up to the top, and shoot them!"
"SHOOT THEM?!" Richard asked. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!" Nicole gave him a glare, the same one she used at him when they chased Miss Simian for taking advantage of their feelings.
"Let me re-phrase that." Richard said.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted as he was hanging on to the side of the car. "WHAT DO I DO NOW?!"
"Get On Top and Fire!" Nicole shouted. Richard quickly made his way up to the top of the car. He kept his front on the car to keep his balance. He quickly pulled the Mini-Gun out, and pulled the trigger and fired. With it being a mini-gun, it began firing lots and lots of energy bullets, striking the trucks and their tires, making them lose control. Seeing this crazy shooting, Tommy drove out of the way.
"Sweet Mary and Moses!" He said as he swerved to the side, seeing the trucks tumble over and some of the drivers and passengers flying out and crashing into a nearby buildboard.
"I Got 'Em!" Richard shouted. "I Got 'Em! I... Have... The Pow-"
-BONK-
A blue bird rammed into his face, almost knocking him out.
"Ow..." He said. Everyone in the car looked back to see the trucks tumbled over, and no signs of any more showing up.
"Oh, thank goodness AAAHHHHHHHH!" Nicole shouted, seeing far up on the Expressway, seeing the huge gap in the road... where there was no road... There was a huge hole in the middle. Seriously, it's been two years and no one in Elmore thought about fixing that?!
"Everyone hold on!" Nicole shouted as she slammed on the breaks, doing her best to stop the car, with everyone screaming for their lives. The car finally came to a stop, with only the front just a inch out on the broken highway. Within seconds, the family finally gave sighs of relief, glad that they were safe.
"And that's why you should always wear a seatbelt, kids." Nicole said.
"Wait, where's Mr. Dad?" Darwin asked.
"Right here!" Richard said, popping his head out front near the window. He was alright, and unscathed. Everyone cheered with sweet relief.
"Oh, thank goodness you're alright, Richard." Nicole said.
"Well, good thing this minigun came in handy." Richard said, getting back into the car and placing it on Nicole's lap. "Just don't make me do that again."
"Ok, honey." Nicole said as she pecked her husband on the cheek. "Alright, let's get out of-" Suddenly, there was a low cracking sound, almost like cement breaking... uh oh. Nicole leaned her head out the window, seeing the highway right under the car beginning to crack. Suddenly, the ground below them shifted, making them yelp, and the car tipped over a teeny bit.
"Oh fuck me..." Nicole said.
-CRACK-
The Expressway under them finally collapsed, taking parts of the road, and the camero with it! Everyone screamed for their lives as they began to fall to their deaths... until.
Something pushed under the car to prevent it from hitting the ground. Everyone opened their eyes, and leaned out the window, seeing the blue robot, Robotboy, in his super-active mode, holding the car up with it's one hand. Everyone cheered with relief as the robot saved them. Robotboy flew upwards, just as Tommy slowed the bike down to see.
"Nice catch, Robotboy!" He called out. The robot leaned his hand out, allowing the boy to hop on into his grip. "Now let's get everyone down to lower ground!" The robot nodded and he flew down back to town with the boy and the car.
"Thank you, Mr. Boy with the Glowing Sword!" Richard said as they flew to their destination.
It was just chaos as Mordecai and Rigby kept driving through the streets with Gumball holding on for dear life, attempting to outrun the Hydra Commander, who kept shooting at them. Surprisingly the cart was able to endure all of this. It was able to survive many feats.
"He's shooting at us!" Rigby shouted.
"Can this thing go faster?" Gumball asked.
"It's going as fast as it can!" Mordecai said, swerving the cart, dodging the bullets Drex was shooting. The blue jay turned to cart right, only for the trio to drive through multiple yards. Many pedestrians jumped out of the way as the cart drove through, and hid as the Hydra Commander kept firing.
"Why is he after you?!" Rigby asked.
"I dunno!" Gumball said. "He's the psycho that kidnapped Aelita a year ago and now he's after her and me!"
"Aelita?" Rigby asked. "Oh, so that's your new girlfriend?" The blue cat froze as the raccoon asked the question. Tints of red emerged on Gumball's cheeks.
"Well... sort of." Gumball said. "It's not official just yet."
"Oh." Rigby said. "So, did you make it to second base or managed to make it to tier eight?"
"Dude!" Gumball shouted. "Now's not the time!"
-BOOM-
A bullet struck the side of the cart, making it swerve out of control, making the three scream in terror.
"Hang on!" Mordecai said as he hit the break real quick, making it spin a couple times. He then pressed on the gas, and the cart managed to stop spinning and swerve, heading onto a direct path.
"Ho, sweet relief!" Gumball said.
"Gah, he's coming!" Rigby said, pointing directly at Drex, who was on their tail and catching up. Mordecai looked ahead and saw a huge factory, which is actually the Rainbow Factory, where they make rainbows... out of gasoline, arsenic, latex, lead, and rust. Yeah, it's not all sunshines and lollipops. But it gave the blue jay an idea.
"We'll lose him at the Rainbow Factory!" Mordecai shouted. "Hang On!" He stepped on the gas and the cart drove towards the factory, passing multiple workers, making them drop some of the materials, including the gasoline. Drex continued to fire bullets, missing by an inch each time, making him angry. However, his bullets left burnt marks on the ground, which began to ignite the gasoline on the floor, making it spread across the factory. It followed the gasoline tank that was inside one of the factory buildings and exploded, incinerating and blowing the building to pieces.
"Jesus!" Mordecai shouted.
"AHHHH!" Rigby screamed as they drove into one of the office buildings. Knowing that they were going up, Drex, with his battle suit, scaled the wall in an effort to reach the top and ambush them. The three were making their way through the office, passing multiple desk workers. Pretty soon they drove straight into an elevator, and the doors closed behind them. As the sound of relaxing music played on the speaker, Mordecai, Rigby, and Gumball were just patiently waiting, while a couple of workers just stood there, confused.
-DING-
As the elevator doors opened, the cart drove out without stopping, and the three continued to pass more workers.
"You think we lost him?" Gumball asked.
"I think so." Mordecai said.
"WATCH OUT!" Rigby shouted, pointing forward, straight at Drex, who was rushing towards them with, his gun arm transforming into a sword. He leaped up and jumped on the top of the cart.
"He's right on top of us!" Rigby shouted. The armored man then lowered himself, revealing his head.
"Resisting Arrest?" He hissed.
"No, but how about some parallel spinning!" Mordecai shouted as he slammed on the breaks and turned the cart to the right, his feet slamming on both the breaks and gas pedals, making the cart spin out of control. Drex began to lose his footing, making him cling onto the top of the cart. But it was spinning so fast, making him lose his grip and get flown across the office floor, ramming into several metal cabinets, which then collapsed right on top of him.
"YEAH!" Mordecai called out with a smile.
"YES!" Rigby said, but then he gave a scream as he pointed forward, to the window wall the cart was heading straight for. The blue jay and Gumball then gave a scream as well, with Mordecai slamming onto the break and turning the other way to get the cart back in the control. The cart then came to a screetching halt as it hit the glass window, making it break and shatter, with the pieces falling from the thirty story building. The cart halted, with only the front on the edge, and the rest of it resting on the floor, with the trio safe and sound. Mordecai and Rigby gave a sigh of relief.
"My friends... we have achieved... the ultimate parking!" Gumball said.
"YEAH We did!" Mordecai called.
"Yeah-uh!" Rigby called.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!" The trio called out. But then, there was a metal sound, a sound like something ready to fall, right in front of them. They then felt the entire cart beginning to slowly move forward, over the edge.
"Awww shit..." Rigby said as the cart moved forward right off the edge. The three began to scream as they fell from the very high building. In a moment of hesitation, Gumball grabbed Mordecai and Rigby by the hands, then jumped out of the cart, pulling them with him. Spreading his wings out, he took flight, and hovered in the air, with Mordecai and Rigby clinging on.
"I Gotcha!" Gumball called out as he flapped his wings.
"YEAH!" Mordecai called.
"We're Alive!" Rigby said. The cart however, didn't survive the trip, as it crashed down into the pile of debris.
"NOOO!" Rigby shouted, seeing their cart destroyed.
"And we just got it paid off..." Mordecai said.
"Aw, man." Gumball said, looking down at his two friends. "I am so sorry." Suddenly, a bullet shot past Gumball, making him turn, to see Drex, covered in business papers, trying to shoot them down.
"Just get us out of here!" Rigby shouted. With a quick nod, Gumball flew forward, taking the blue jay and raccoon with him, flying away from the crazy man with the robot arm. Through his helmet, Drex gave a growl.
"Excuse me, sir!" A japanese accented voice spoke from behind Drex, who turned his head to see Mr. Yoshida, the grey humanoid cloud in the black business suit and red tie, and the owner of the Rainbow Factory.
"What?" Drex asked.
"You're gonna have to pay for all this." Mr. Yoshida said with an angry face, his hand pointing straight at the mess in the office, and at the destroyed Factory structure. Drex looked around and glancedup at Mr. Yoshida.
"Of course... here you go." Drex said, his sword transforming into a gun and he fired, hurling the Rainbow Factory owner into a wall. As the dust cleared, the business man was in a pile of paper and desks, moaning in a bit of pain. Luckily, he wasn't dead, just injured.
"You're hired..." He said as he collapsed.
Back with Nicole's group, Robotboy flew towards one of the empty buildings where there was some scrap junk laying about. Luckily, it was away from the black trucks, with only a few cars parked right near it. Tommy hopped down back on solid ground.
"Ok, Ro, just place the car down gently." Tommy said. The robot gave a nod and dropped the car, making it shake a bit as it hit the ground, with everyone giving a yelp. Luckily, no one was hurt inside, though the boy and robot cringed a bit.
"Yeah, still need to work on the gentle part." Tommy said, as the robot face palmed and shook his head. The boy made his way to the vehicle.
"Are you guys ok?!" He asked, as the driver door opened up, allowing Nicole to get out, while Darwin, Aelita, and Anais came out from the back.
"We're good... we're good." The mama cat said. Then the camero fell apart.
"Um, guys, I'm stuck!" Richard said, trying to squeeze his way out of the driver's side.
"Why aren't you using the other side?" Darwin asked.
"The car door is stuck." Richard said.
"MOM!" The voice got the mama cat's attention. Turning her head, she saw her son flying in the air, hovering toward them, with Mordecai and Rigby holding on to dear life.
"Hi Mrs. Watterson!" Mordecai and Rigby said, with the blue cat getting closer to the ground, allowing Mordecai and Rigby to drop safely. Gumball then floated to the ground, and gave a tired panting. Makes sense since he just carried two people older than him to safety.
"Gumball!" Nicole called, running toward her son and pulling him into a hug. "Thank goodness you're alright!" She nuzzled into his face. She then examined him. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah... I'm fine." Gumball said, a bit tired.
"Oh my gosh, you're bleeding!" Nicole said, seeing the blood over his teeth.
"That's not my blood." He said, about ready to tear up.
"What?" Nicole asked.
"I... I ripped some of their arms off... and... I was drinking their blood..." Gumball spoke tearfully. Tugging on her shirt, he pulled her and nuzzled his head, almost about to cry.
"It's alright Gumball, it's alright." She said. The others watched the mama cat comfort her son. Darwin however turned his head toward Tommy, who froze in place, showing an expression of shock and fear upon seeing Gumball and his particular form.
"Sh...Shadowkan." He spoke.
"Um... sir?" Darwin asked. The older boy, rose his hand up, showing his blade hilt, which then emitted it's long blade. With a warcry, the boy charged in, ready to strike. Gumball quickly saw him coming.
"Mom, Look Out!" Gumball shouted as he pushed her away, and Tommy quickly swung, but right toward teen cat, who dodged, the blade almost touching his muzzle.
"What the What?!" Gumball shouted, as Tommy pulled his blade back, and then swung again., but Gumball jumped out of the way.
"Stop!" Nicole shouted. "What do you think you're doing? That's My Son!" The blonde boy didn't listen, and swung again. Gumbal quickly dodged once more, but it was proven difficult with the style Tommy was using. The type of fighting he was initiating was Kendo, a japanese martial art which descended from swordsmanship and kenjutsu. It's a very unique style that influenced the Jedi and Sith fights from Star Wars.
"What the hell is wrong with you man?!" Gumball shouted, dodging a couple more attacks, Gumball then stumbled, nearly tripping, allowing Tommy to get a good swing, and slice Gumball's right arm right off.
"GAAAAHHH!" Gumball shouted as his arm fell right off.
"AAAHHHH!" Darwin, Richard, and Anais shouted.
"GUMBALL!" Aelita and Nicole screamed.
"DUDE!" Mordecai and Rigby shouted. The blue cat fell to his knees screaming, as blood with a mixture of black and red began to spurt out the socket. Tommy then pointed his blade forward.
"Stay Down, Shadow-Mutant!" He shouted. However, he noticed Gumball's sliced off arm began to quickly decompose and dissolve into a black liquid. Looking back at the cat, Gumball began to grunt violently as what was left of his arm began to slowly grow back, revealing a demonic monster-like arm. The sight brought shock to the others.
"Whoa..." Mordecai said.
"Uhhhh..." Rigby said, as Richard began to vomit onto the ground.
"What?..." Tommy said. "How'd you do that?" Gumball only lifted his head up, where his yellow eyes quickly slanted into a rage, and his newly restored hand emitted a sword from the top of his fist.
"GRREAAAGH!" He screeched as he lunged forward to strike, only for Tommy to dodge out of the way. The blue cat swung again, this time striking Tommy's energy blade. Tommy swung again, with the clanging hitting Gumball's arm blade. The blue cat sprouted his wings and spider-legs, and rushed in to attack. Tommy moved left, leaping onto the broken mattress next to him. Gumball then swung with his claws, but Tommy leaped off, flipping onto the ground, making a perfect landing.
"Whoa..." Darwin and Anais said almost impressed. Gumball then leaned his head and rushed toward the boy, using his spider-legs to move quickly, and swung his arm blade and claws to strike, as Tommy slid down with his knees, leaning back and dodged the swing by an inch, and used his energy sword to slice the spider-legs, making Gumball tumble over. Tommy then side stepped and charged forward, but Gumball quickly used his wings to fly up and push Tommy to the ground. The blue cat raised his arm, but suddenly he was shot in the back. Turning around, he saw Robotboy, still super-active, with his laser cannon aimed at the blue cat hybrid.
Gumball reacted with a growl and lunged forward to attack, as one of Robotboy's fists turned into a Saw Blade and flew in to attack, striking Gumball's leg, slicing it off. But then, it dissolved into liquid and Gumball's leg grew back. It was like everytime his limbs would get sliced off, he would regenerate. While it was painful to see her son in this rage state, she noticed his healing factors. She has seen something like this before, but where and how? Robotboy then flew up and aimed his left hand, turned into an energy cannon, and he began to fire multiple energy bullets at Gumball, who flew around and dodged. The blasts shot too close to Darwin and Aelita, the latter screaming in shock. The blue cat turned his head, seeing the girl afraid. He turned back to the robot with an even more angry look and flew in, striking Robotboy in the chest and managed to grab his arms, and tried to rip him apart. Suddenly, the blue robot sprouded out two other arms and pulled Gumball off, throwing him to the ground. The blue cat got back, letting out another shriek, but then another energy bullet shot right before his feet. He turned to see Tommy, holding a small energy pistol. The boy brought out his energy sword and moved in to attack. He swung, Gumball dodged, the blue cat struck, Tommy countered. Robotboy flew in and struck Gumball with his saw-blade, the blue hybrid cat swung his claws, with both Tommy and RobotBoy countering each time. As everyone watched with horror and worry, Mordecai and Rigby only chanted.
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Mordecai and Rigby chanted as Gumball kept attacking Tommy and Robotboy, who continued to dodge and counter the blue cat and his attacks. This time, Gumball's eyes became more slanted with rage, as he then raised his claw up, glowing with purple lightning, conjuring up a plasma ball sphere.
"プラズマボール / Purazumabōru!" Gumball shouted, as he fired the sphere, striking Robotboy and hurtling him into a pile of metal scraps.
"Hey!" Tommy shouted as he jumped behind Gumball, using his energy sword to choke the blue cat. "Nobody hurts my friend!" However, the blue cat grabbed the boy's arms and swung him acorss the floor. He then jumped up and charged up another plasma-ball. With a loud screech, he fired down. Tommy quickly leaped, but the ball hit the ground, causing him to be blown back a bit and into the debris behind him. Luckily, it wasn't too bad, and most of it was fabric and mattresses.
"Awwrgh... that hurt." Tommy spoke. Gumball was still growling however, showing that he wasn't done yet.
"Dude, that's enough, he's down!" Darwin called out.
"No... I'm Not Done!" Gumball shouted, his eyes glowing even more. "Kill... Must... Kill!" With no hesitation, he charged forward with his regenerated spider-legs. Tommy leaned himself up, but then saw Gumball charging toward him.
"Gumball, No!" Nicole shouted, as everyone else pleaded.
"DIE!" Gumball shouted as his claws extended, and his teeth sharped, ready to attack. Tommy closed his eyes, ready for what was to come.
"ENOUGH!" Aelita said, standing between him and Gumball. The blue cat quickly stopped. His blade almost reaching her nose. The blue demonic mutant cat raised an eyebrow in confusion, seeing the girl with pink hair. Aelita only stood there, with sweat rolling down her forehead. Tommy opened his eyes, seeing the girl protecting him.
"Hnnngh?" Gumball grunted.
"Gumball... it's me." Aelita said, lowering her arms, and stepping forward.
"Aelita-" Nicole spoke, but Darwin stopped her, shaking his head. Looking back, they saw the girl approach Gumball, who was still confused, and taken by the girl's innocent beauty.
"It's Aelita... your friend, remember?" She asked. The blue cat tilted his head. She then rose her hand up, and moved it forward. Gumball glanced at the girl. In his mind, everything was cloudy, but the girl's voice echoed in his head. Seeing her hand, he leaned his forward. Soon, both hands touched. Gumball looked back at the girl's face.
"A...Aelita...?" He asked.
"Yes... it's me." She said, with a hopeful smile. She then took his claw, and gently placed it onto her stomach. The blue cat froze, feeling the unborn child pressing against his hand, and a strong heartbeat too. The blue cat then widened his eyes in realization. He lifted his head back up towards the girl, his eyes reverting back to their usual dark blue coloring.
"Aelita..." He said. The girl tearfully smiled and nodded, as his hand left the surface of her bump. In an instant, he grunted in pain, and covered his face with his claws. His spider-legs pulled him back, and began to tremble. Soon, they lowered and the blue cat knelt down onto the ground. The legs began to submerge back into his back, followed by the wings. His blade and his claws began to seep back into his body, and his hands returned to normal. His antennaes and eyes disappeared, and the spikes on his tail submerged as well. The blue cat laid onto the floor, his arms keeping him up, gasping, followed by a slow breathing. The girl then approached him.
"Gumball?" Aelita asked, caressing his head up.
"I'm sorry..." He said. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Those were the only words that he could get out of his mouth. The girl knelt down behind him and gave him a big hug.
"It's ok... it's ok." She said, nuzzling the back of his head. The others only watched, with Tommy get up, putting away his saber hilt, but his face was surprised. She managed to calm the blue cat down. As for Nicole, she gave a sigh of relief, thankful that Aelita stopped her son and snapped him out of his blood rampage.
"Wow..." Mordecai said. "That was awesome."
"Totally better than Skyline." Rigby said. "...The first movie at least."
"Hello?" a voice came from the car, making everyone turn, seeing Richard still stuck in the car. "I'm still stuck!"
"C'mon, let's get your father out of the car." Nicole said as she went up to the car and pulled on Richard's arms, trying to get him out. But with his wide and big size, he was tough to pull out.
"Hold on, we'll help you!" Mordecai said as he and Rigby went to help her, grabbing Richard's arms as well and pulled.
"God, he really needs to lose some weight!" Rigby said.
"Hey, I told you guys it's a problem with my glands... or something like that." Richard said as they continued to pull. Then, with one more pull, the three pulled him out, all of them falling to the floor.
"He's out!" Mordecai said.
"Dad, are you ok?" Darwin asked as he approached the big rabbit.
"A bit scratched, but I'm ok." Richard said. Nicole rose up and rubbed her head.
"Man, that was exhausting." She said, as the blue jay behind her looked around.
"Wait, where's Rigby?" Mordecai asked. Then there was a loud and long sniff coming from below Nicole. Looking down, she saw that her skirt was a little puffy, and a waist with a pair of brown furry legs below her. She felt movement on her bottom, and a sniff. It was Rigby, looking up Nicole's skirt.
"Heh... no panties..." The raccoon spoke.
"UGH!" Nicole shouted as she got up and covered her skirt, preventing a dizzy Rigby from seeing anymore. He laid there dizzy, and blushing.
"Rigby!" Mordecai said as he helped him up. "Are you alright?"
"I think so... though I didn't see any panties... only shorts." Rigby spoke, making Nicole blush in embarrassment.
"Well, at least we're all safe and sound." Richard said. But then suddenly, a plasma bullet shot right at them, startling the group. Looking up, the mama cat saw Drex, still in his combat form, shooting with his arm.
"Awww, I spoke too soon!" Richard shouted. The Hydra commander leaped off the building and landed on the ground, his Death-Metal Armor Hyena transformation still active.
"All of you are under arrest." He said, making his way towards the family, but mostly towards Aelita. The girl backed away as Gumball stepped in, his arms out to protect her.
"You're not taking her!" The blue cat shouted. "She's been through enough!"
"Awww, how sweet." Drex said, his voice unamused and unfeeling. "You have such a strong love for this girl. Don't worry, Shadowkan-Hybrid. You'll be joining her in a cage as well." Nicole's eyes widened, hearing the word Shadowkan. That's why the man wanted to take him, because that scanner showed that her so was a Shadowkan... but... a hybrid? What did that mean.
"You won't lay a finger on her..!" Gumball growled, his eyes showing yellow and black sclera, his hand morphing back to a claw, and two spider legs popped out of his back.
"Watch me..." Drex said as he continued to approach them both. The blue cat stood his ground, but then Tommy stepped in, and raised his energy sword right at Drex.
"Don't even try." He said.
"How wonderful..." Drex said. "You want to protect this monstrosity?" Tommy looked back at the blue cat, but also back at Aelita. He smiled.
"If he's willing to protect her, then yeah." Tommy said. "But I don't think you should worry about us though."
"What?" Drex asked. Suddenly, Drex was hit from behind, making him stumble with his footing. Turning his head, he saw Robotboy, his laser cannon up and giving off steam, showing that he shot the Hydra Commander.
"How dare you!" Drex shouted as his gun arm transformed into a blade once more. Robotboy then flew in, hitting the Hydra Commander in the face. The two then fought, with Drex using his sword to strike, while Robotboy used his Knuckle Blades to bring brutal damage. As the two continued to brawl, Gumball then felt a bit dizzy. His claw turned back to his paw, the spider legs went back into his body, and his eyes returned to normal. He almost fell to the ground, but Aelita caught him just in time.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'm just a little dizzy." Gumball said, rubbing his head.
"We better get out of here." Tommy said. Nicole turned her head, seeing a Subaru Sambar vehicle yards away. On the back of the vehicle was a brown cover that was held up from the backend.
"Quick, To the Subaru!" Nicole called out. The group then made their way to the vehicle, as Drex jumped from the building to reach their level. Turning around, Nicole pulled out her pistol and fired multiple times, managing to hit Drex in the knee, causing him to drop down. With the opportunity in tow, Richard, with Anais in his arms, jumped into the passenger side. The mama cat got into the driver's seat and began to hot wire the Subaru, while Gumball, Darwin, Aelita, Mordecai and Rigby jumped into the back. As the car came on, Nicole lifted her head up, seeing Robotboy being kicked away by Drex, who turned his attention on approaching them.
"Eat Exhaust asshole!" Nicole growled as she stepped on the gas pedal, and the vehicle drove forward. Turning the wheel, the vehicle drifted, with the end heading straight for Drex. With a loud bonk, Drex was hit by the subaru, causing him to flip over and fall on his front face flat.
"Yes!" Tommy shouted, as the Subaru took off, leaving Drex on the ground. The brown raccoon in the back leaned his head out, seeing the mercenary still on the ground.
"Ha!" Rigby shouted, stepping on the side of the subaru's rear. "You can't get us now! How you like that Biatch-!" In an instant, Drex rose himself back up, reaching for his belt. With a fling of his arm, he threw a spinning eight edged ninja star right toward Rigby. The raccoon was thrown back just as the blade went over his head. He fell back into the truck. He opened his eyes, completely shocked at what happened, feeling his head hurt. A red line on his forehead right above his eyes was visible and fresh.
"Rigby!" Mordecai shouted, rushing to his friend. "Oh my god!" The blue jay lifted his friend up, seeing the red lined wound on his forehead, which began to drip blood, covered it up with his sleeve.
"My head... my head..." Rigby said pointing to his forehead.
"It's gonna be ok Rigby." Mordecai said. "You're gonna be ok." The vehicle then got onto the road and went off, as Drex and Robotboy continued to fight. Drex, not wanting his prize to escape, quickly pounded the robot and used his energy sword to slice off Robotboy's arm. He then picked it up and swat the robot with it. He then glanced at the robot arm, which suddenly shifted and transformed into a cannon. Before Drex knew it, the arm fired an energy blast, blasting the Hydra Commander right into the pile of debris, and making him drop the robot arm. Robotboy, shaking his head, picked up his arm, glanced at the pile of debris, and made a loser sign with his hand. He then took off flying to follow Tommy and co.
Within seconds after the robot departed, Drex slowly lifted himself out of the rubble, brushing off the dirt off his armor. He then made his way toward the end of the street, but saw that the robot and subaru was already gone. Lowering his gun, which shifted back to his metal hand. His real fist began to clench. If anybody could see his face right now, he would throw a phone across the room. But instead, the car parked next to him would have to do. With a loud shout, he grabbed a hold of the car and flipped it over in anger, causing it to tumble across the sidewalk.
"MY CAR!" A female voice shouted. Turning his head, Drex saw an orange simple shaped figure with an abnormally large head, noodle-like arms, legs, and her body was spoon-like. She had blue lips too. Everyone knows her as Felicity Parham, while others know her as an extremely snobbish and discouraging individual to seperates her own son from anything that she deems is a negative influence.
"You Moron, my son is inside that car!" She shouted. "You are so gonna pay for this! You low-leveled, wretched looking, son of a-" However she was cut off, as Drex lifted his metal arm up and fired, shooting Felicity right in the chest, the impact pushed her to a fence piece, and blood spattered out of her chest. The mother laid there, bleeding out as she began to choke on her own blood. Drex approached the body, not even staring at it. He then aimed his gun upward toward her head, and fired again, blowing her brains out.
"I hate this town." Drex said, and just walked away, leaving the corpse on the floor. The only thing that was there was the sound of a little boy with a british accent not too far.
"Hello? Mother, is everything ok? Mother, are you done yet? Mother? Mother? Mother?"
The road on the highway was clear and showed no signs of any other vehicles, especially the black trucks. That was a sign of good news, for nobody was following them. But Wattersons were still in anguish, struggling to believe what had just happened. They lost their home, their belongings, and their car. They were nearly killed as well. It was a miracle Gumball survived, but the thought of her son had gotten shot like that. That was terrifying.
"We lost our home..." Richard said. Nicole glanced at her husband, and gave a sigh.
"We need to find a place to hide out." Tommy said.
"But where do we hide?" Richard asked.
"Someplace abandoned." Tommy said. "Do any of you guys know any buildings or warehouses that are abandoned?"
"There are some back in town." Anais said.
"Guys!" Darwin popped his head through the rear mirror, getting everyone's attention. "I know a place."
"Where?" Tommy asked.
"There's an old warehouse Carrie hangs out at, just a couple miles from here." Darwin said. "We should be safe there."
"Where is it?" Nicole asked.
"Just turn right up at the intersection, it'll lead us to it!" Darwin said.
"Ok." Nicole said, seeing the intersection up ahead. Slowing the truck down, she turned right, heading to the warehouse. Darwin sat back on the inside of the truck, giving a sigh. He looked up to see Mordecai holding Rigby in his arms. The poor raccoon looked like he was about to faint.
"Is he ok?" Darwin asked. Mordecai lifted his arm, seeing blood on the side of the sleeve that was covering Rigby's wound which was still bleeding.
"He's losing blood." Mordecai said.
"Mordecai..." Rigby said. "I think I'm gonna clock out."
"Don't say that Rigby." Mordecai said. "The cut's not deep. You're gonna be fine."
"Mordecai?" Rigby asked.
"Yeah dude?" Mordecai asked.
"Can you tell Eileen... can you tell her... that I..." Rigby said.
"Sure... I'll tell her." Mordecai said. "Though I don't know how we're gonna do that, given the fact that we're being hunted by a bunch of guys with guns though." Gumball on the other hand, was looking at the broken shard of the mirror that was in the truck, and glancing at his own forehead. The bullet wound was completely gone. He was surprised himself that he wasn't killed. He was shot in the head for god's sake, and he survived. Could it be that his strange powers has given him some kind of invincibility? Even from death? Turning his head, he saw Aelita sitting still, staring at the floor in a daze.
"Aelita?" Gumball asked, touching her shoulder, causing her to jolt. Turning her head, she saw the blue cat, worried.
"Are you ok?" He asked. The girl didn't give an answer. Her eyes were showing trauma, which was all that there was. She had witnessed so much. Seeing her dear friend get shot in the head, which brought back the memories of seeing her old friends dying in front of her. The blue cat pulled her into a hug, stroking her head. The girl then wrapped her arms around him tightly, nuzzling his head. Tears were dripping from her eyes.
"It's going to be ok." Gumball said. "It's going to be ok." The two continued their hug, which brought the attention of Darwin, Mordecai, and Rigby.
"Is she Gumball's new girlfriend?" Mordecai asked.
"Dude... now's not the time for questions." Darwin said.
2!
Well, that was some chapter, wasn't it? This is probably the longest chapter that I've written so far. That may change in the future.
RIP Benson and Felicity. Never really liked them that much... And of course to the Hydra Force soldiers who lost their lives... you know what, screw them, they were the bad guys.
This chapter was influenced by the chase scene from Transformers: Age of Extinction, where Cade, Tessa, Shane, and TJ Miller were outrunning Cemetary Wind, while Optimus Prime and Lockdown were having a little brawl. Yes, I like the Transformers films. They have good action scenes. Cemetary Wind also inspired Hydra Force.
And regards to Dodj or Daar, I know how the game works, but in this story, the game doesn't bend reality like in Season 2, and it's more of a chance thing and has more elements from Season 1 (which is more light-hearted).
Next chapter there's gonna be drama as the Wattersons and their friends try to figure out what to do next. Then we'll be one step closer to officially uniting the heroes together.
