And here's chapter sixteen. A lot of drama in this chapter. The identity of the one who gave up the Wattersons will be revealed, and the family will be torn apart. The Dark Phoenix also think of another way to take them out and capture their prize.. or prizes.


Chapter 16: Hiding Out

The old abandoned warehouse just up north of Elmore. Probably one of the most abandoned areas in the entire town, despite it being out of town. Inside, Carrie was meditating. With her being a emo gothic ghost girl, she has the ability to contact with spirits from the great beyond. Her recent contact was a ghost who kept talking about his sister's baby for about three hours... boring.

However, her meditation was interrupted by the sound of a vehicle outside. Turning her head, she saw something move up to the warehouse. She flew out to see what was out there. She saw the Subaru Sambar coming to a full stop. The ghost girl looked suspiciously at the Subaru. The engine turned off, and from the back of the covered hood, Mordecai, holding Rigby, got out first, followed by Darwin, Gumball and Aelita. Carrie's eyes widened, seeing dirt on Darwin's face.

"Oh my gosh!" Carrie spoke. "Darwin!" She flew over to hug the fish with legs. "What happened?! Are you ok?"

"Physically yes." Darwin said. "Mentally... I don't think so." The ghost girl looked past her boyfriend to see Nicole, Richard, Anais, and Tommy coming out from the front of the car.

"What happened?" Carrie asked.

"Those guys Aelita told us about... they found us." Darwin said. The ghost girl's eyes widened with surprise.

"How?" She asked.

"We don't know." Gumball said. "They just found us."

"Well, at least you're all safe." Carrie said, then turned her gaze to the Tommy. "Who's the blonde kid?"

"Tommy." He said. "Tommy Turn-"

"Wait." Carrie said, then leaned in to stare at the boy. For a few seconds, she looked at him from bottom to top, then spoke.

"You're a friend of Aelita's, aren't you." She said, with the blonde boy greatly surprised.

"How did you...?" Tommy asked.

"A ghost knows." Carrie said. Then there was a sound in the background coming from the sky. Their attention was turned to the massive robot approaching the area. To everyone's relief, it was Robotboy, still in super activated mode. Only that his left arm was gone. As he made his descent to the ground, the blonde boy approached him.

"Robotboy!" Tommy said with relief. "You made it!" The tall robot glanced at the boy, then back at the others. But his eyes widened as he had his sights on Gumball, it's sensory activating.

SHADOW-MUTANT DETECTED

MUST DESTROY

In an instant, Robotboy raised his rocket gun up, ready to fire at the blue cat.

"Ahhh!" Gumball shouted as it's sensor locked onto his head.

"No, Stop!" Nicole, Richard, and Darwin shouted, shielding in front of Gumball. Tommy quickly noticed this.

"No no no no no no no!" Tommy said, raising his hands up in front of Robotboy. "Robotboy No! No! Don't shoot! Don't shoot, alright?" The robot glanced at the boy, then at the blue cat, then back at the boy, all confused.

"Robotboy, it's alright..." Tommy said as he approached the robot. "The blue Shadow-mutant cat is friendly. Do not hurt him. And don't get him angry either. Understand?" The tall robot looked at his friend, then at the blue cat, then at his friend. Giving a nod, he lowered his weapon. Then he shrunk down, back to his usual small self.

"Ok Tommy." Robotboy said. The others gave a sigh of relief.

"You alright Ro?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, Robotboy ok, but Robotboy's arm... blew off." The robot said, showing his detached arm.

"Oh man." Tommy said as the robot gave it to him. "That freak ripped your arm off?"

"Yes." Robotboy said. "Bad men hurt Tommy?"

"Nah, I'm good." Tommy said. "A little scraped but not so bad."

"Good Tommy." Robotboy said. "But Robotboy's battery nearly low."

"Uh oh." Tommy said. "We better find a place for you to charge up." He then looked at Carrie. "Is there a power outlet that's functional?"

"Yeah, there's one near one of the cylinder's." Carrie said. "The place is recently abandoned, but it still has power."

"Good." Tommy said. "C'mon Ro, let's get you fixed up." Taking his friend over his shoulder, the boy headed inside the warehouse. Carrie then turned back to the fish.

"Is he a good guy?" Carrie asked.

"Yeah, though he chopped Gumball's arm off." Darwin said. The ghost girl examined Gumball, only to find his arm unharmed.

"But why does he still have an arm?" Carrie asked.

"It grew back." Darwin said. "Pretty cool, right?"

"It grew back?" Carrie asked. "That is cool."

"Hey ghost girl!" Mordecai said, holding his friend Rigby in his arms. "You got any medical stuff in there? My friend's hurt, looks like he's about to pass out." Rigby was still in Mordecai's arms, giving moans of dizziness, most likely due to the amount of blood he was losing from his forehead.

"Yeah, and we should probably clean his wound too." Carrie said, then glanced at the cut. "What happened?"

"Some guy with a freaky metal arm threw a ninja star and nearly cut Rigby's head off." Mordecai said.

"Whoa..." Carrie said. "Dark..."

"Ok everyone." Nicole said, getting their attention. "Let's get inside. We should be safe for a while." The group began to head inside.

"How did this happen?" Darwin asked.

"I don't know." Nicole said.

"Will we ever get back home?" Gumball asked.

"I don't know." Nicole said more firmly.

"What about our house?" Richard asked. "It's gone!"

"I DON'T KNOW!" Nicole shouted. Her voice was so loud, it made Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Richard cringe a bit. Mordecai and Rigby clung onto each other, a bit terrified themselves. Seeing her family terrified, she quickly took hold of herself and took a deep breath. They're already in enough emotional distress, so she didn't want to make it worse.

"Let's just stay here for now, and we'll figure it out later, ok?" Nicole said calmly, as the others gave a nod. "Good..." She let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry..." The voice got their attention, where Aelita was standing there, facing the ground. Everyone could tell that there was severe guilt in both her face and her eyes, and the tears were present. "I'm... I'm so sorry..." She tried to keep it in, but her tears began to seep out. Nicole looked at the girl and gave a sigh. She approached her, and gave her a hug, as the girl cried into her shoulder.

"Aelita, it's ok." Nicole said. "None of this is your fault. Do not blame yourself, ok? You're safe, and that's all that matters." The girl still continued to cry, and hugged the mama cat. She kept apologizing and apologizing, and Nicole hugged her still, stroking the girl's hair in comfort.

"Come on, let's get inside." Nicole said. "We should be safe for a while." The girl gave a nod, and the two headed inside together, with Gumball following suit.

"So now what?" Carrie asked.

"We're pretty much fugitives now." Darwin said.

"We're fugitives? Awesome..." Rigby moaned with a smile.

"Dude, it's not awesome." Mordecai said. "That means we could go to jail!"

"Yeah, but it sounds so rad!" Rigby said, trying to stay awake. "I say I'd make a good fugitive." That only gave Rigby a flick on his nose. "Ow."

"C'mon man, let's just go inside." The blue jay responded as he followed Gumball into the warehouse with Rigby still in tow.

"This is horrible." Richard said. "We lost our home, our car, and everything."

"Who could've done this to us?" Darwin asked. Anais only stood there, looking at her family. Her eyes were a bit conflicting to tell. Was it guilt, or was it nervousness? She gave a sigh and followed them in.


"I hope you're happy with yourself." Those words were not what Drex had hoped to hear from the hologram of Wallace Breen as he knelt on one knee. "You had her right in your grasps, and you let her slip from you!"

"I was close sir." Drex said. "I was very close."

"Well very close is not enough!" Wallace said. "Not only have you allowed her to escape, but you also allowed the family harboring her to escape as well! And you also failed to give the fact that the blue cat boy is a Shadowkan himself!"

"I was not aware that he was a Shadowkan Hybrid." Drex said. "The sensor picked him up before we departed. He seems to be aware of his powers, though he doesn't seem to be fully aware of what he is, and he lacks control of his rage."

"And yet he managed to best you." Wallace continued. "He and some... wild animals managed to outsmart you!"

"They threw me off balance, and that robot got in the way." Drex said.

"What Robot?!" Wallace asked.

"Professor Moshimo's killing machine, that's what!" Drex said. "The robot and that blonde kid were at the scene! They were helping the Wattersons get away!"

"That does not matter!" Wallace said. "I asked you to complete your task! And yet you failed!... You are the fucking Hydra Force for damn's sake! You are suppose to be the best at what you do! You are the Dark Phoenix's elite troops! And you got beaten by some... dysfunctional happy family!" Wallace only got angry, so angry that he picked up what appeared to be a cup from his table and threw it, with a loud cracking sound after the throw, showing that the cup must've hit a wall. Drex only knelt there, but then an idea came to his head.

"I will not fail this time sir." Drex said.

"How can you be certain of that?" Wallace asked.

"I have an idea that may work." Drex said as he rose up. "With your permission sir, perhaps we should show them the full extent of the Dark Phoenix..."

"I'm listening..." Wallace spoke.

"We also checked the remains of their house sir." Drex said. "We found something interesting in their little closet."

"If it's another sexual toy, I do not even wanna-" Wallace said.

"No, it was a stack that had weapons on it, or used to have weapons on it." Drex said. "They were the property of the Space Police Delta." Drex said. "It seems that one of the family members used to work with them. Probably the mother."

"And?" Wallace asked.

"And her oldest son is a Shadow-Kaijin, but yet he's very different." Drex said. "He has abilities that make him impossible to kill. Not even a bullet to the head can take his life. What about squaring him off with another one of his kind?"

"I don't understand." Wallace said.

"Let me explain." Drex said. "You see, if you want to catch a criminal, you send a criminal. If you want to capture a spy, you send a spy. If you want to find a child, you send a child-"

"Speak english you fool." Wallace said. "Quoting Spy-Kids is not getting anywhere."

"Then this will." Drex said. "If we want to find a Shadow-Kaijin, we send a Shadow-Kaijin..." Wallace then began thinking. Drex raised a good point. From all the Shadowkan they have captured, they have learned that Shadowkan have a good way of tracking down their enemies, even one of their own.

"That's brilliant." Wallace said. "But how are you going to move forward with this? The ones we made are not... perfected yet."

"We don't need one of the failed experiments." Drex said. "Perhaps a real Shadowkan could work." Wallace looked at Drex with a raised eyebrow.

"A real Shadowkan?" Wallace asked. "How will you pull it off? No way they would work for us."

"I have someone in mind." Drex said. "There's one Shadowkan that has always escaped our forces whenever we close in on him. Perhaps we can persuade him."

"Go on..." Wallace said.


Watching from the warehouse balcony, Gumball was keeping a watchful eye, for any sign of the those Hydra Freaks. So many thoughts were going on in the cat's head. Who was that man? The man that was sent to capture Aelita. And what he said to him... that he was a monster... He said something else aside from that. That he was a hybrid of a Shadowkan? What was a Shadowkan? Was he one of those Shadowkan? He can't be, because he's a cat. Then again, he did have those mysterious mutant demonic features, such as the claws, the wings, and the black and yellow eyes. Before he could think more on it, he was pulled out of his thoughts by Rigby's scream.

"GAAAAARRGHAHAAAA!" The echoes of the raccoon screamed in the warehouse. Turning his head, he saw Rigby, twitching a bit in pain, as Carrie was performing a magical surgical procedure on him. She first had to clean his cut with a cleanig spell, and now she was sewing his forehead up to close the wound. Mordecai only held him down, and it was a bit painful to watch his friend going through this. Fortunately for both of them, Carrie finished up, cutting the thread that kept his wound closed up.

"There, I'm done." Carrie said.

"Aaahhhhhhwwww!" Rigby shouted, touching the side of his head. "That hurt... that friggin' hurt, you paranormal bitch!"

"Don't worry dude, it's over." Mordecai said. "Here, let me bandage you up." Taking the medical tape, he wrapped it around Rigby's head. The raccoon was very greatful that that freak with the metal arm didn't mess up his face.

"Why did we have to do this while I was awake?" Rigby asked.

"I was thinking about knocking you out, but it was funny seeing you scream like that." Carrie said.

"Bitch..." Rigby said.

"Dude, Gumball's right next to us." Mordecai whispered.

"It's fine dude." Gumball said. "I've heard mom curse up and down when she was searching for a parking space." Speaking of mom, he turned to go find her. Coming down the stairway, he saw Tommy, fixing up Robotboy's arm.

"There we go." Tommy said, finishing screwing in the robot's arm into it's socket.

"Robotboy feel good!" Robotboy said as he flew up and moved his arm, good as new. The blonde boy gave a smile, happy to see Robotboy fixed up.

"Ahem..." The sound got the boy's attention, turning to see Nicole, her back leaning against the pillar, with her arms crossed, and her eyes squinted in anger.

"I suppose you're here to thank us for saving you?" Tommy asked. The mama cat didn't change her face. "I guess not."

"You sir... had a lot of nerve attacking my son like that." Nicole said in a low voice, approaching him slowly.

"Oh yeah... about that." Tommy said.

"Don't... even... start." Nicole said. "Now you got ten seconds to tell me right now who are you, what the hell you're doing, and how you know Aelita. Or, I kick your ass and throw you outside." Tommy was taken back by this, but he too gave a face of suspicion.

"Do you want the long version or the short version?" Tommy asked. "Though the long version will take more than ten seconds."

"Just answer the question..." Nicole said, unaware of Gumball, Darwin, Anais, and Richard watching the scene.

"Okay... my name is Tommy Turnbull, son of Dwight and Debbie Turnbull. I lived in San Francisco my whole live until three years ago until last year I found out from a good friend that Aelita was alive, and I spent the whole time finding her and searching for other people that are very important to me." Tommy said.

"And you're... Aelita's friend?" Nicole asked.

"Yes." Tommy said.

"Do you have proof?" Nicole asked. The boy halted on his words.

"No, but I've known her most of my life." Tommy said. "She used to look after me when my parents and brother were out. She and her dad disappeared and we moved to California to start a new life." The mama cat stared at the boy with a glare.

"What about your family?" Nicole asked. "Don't you think they're worried sick?"

"For your information, my family are scum, well except my grandma, she's a real sweet heart, but she passed away two years ago." Tommy said. "But my parents however, My dad barely gives a crap about me, my brother hates me, and my mom is in jail. But when I see them again, I'll ask them."

"Well how did you know that Aelita was here?" Nicole asked.

"I didn't... until yesterday when I saw her in the mall with your son." Tommy said. "I wanted to talk with her, but she was on a date, so I decided to wait until today." Gumball blushed as he heard the last sentence. Nicole then took a deep breath, and gave a smile, though she was still giving a glare.

"Ok, I'm glad to hear that." Nicole said. "Now, time for my favorite part."

"Um... mom-" Gumball said, knowing what was about to happen.

"Gummypuss not now, I'm going to interrogating this boy who tried to kill you, ok?" Nicole said. "Alright then." She dropped the smile, then she grabbed Tommy by the shirt, and slammed him to the wall behind him, while she was still holding him.

"OW!" Tommy shouted.

"Why were you trying to kill my son?!" She asked.

"I'm sorry, he's a Shadowkan!" Tommy said. Nicole's eyes widened by the word the boy spoke. She hadn't heard that word in fourteen years.

"What did you say?!" Nicole asked.

"I said he's a Shadowkan!" Tommy said, keeping his cool. "The monsters from a different dimension. I've seen what they do. Their violent, hideous freaks who want nothing but to take over our world."

"How do you know about the Shadowkan?!" Nicole asked. "Are... are you wth the SPD?"

"No." Tommy said in confusion.

"The SPD?" Gumball asked. "What's that?"

"Gummypuss, Not Now!" Nicole said. "How do you know about the Shadowkan?"

"Dr. Otomo Kamikazi tried to use them for his personal army, but Robotboy and I destroyed his portal three years ago! Some of them weren't sent back home and managed to hide out in San Francisco. I've seen what they're capable of. They slaughter people, they capture people, they rape people and use them to repopulate their kind. My friend was taken by them. She's probably suffering that fate and I'll never see her again. They're monsters!" Nicole slammed Tommy against the wall, still holding her grip on him.

"My son... Is Not a Monster!" Nicole shouted, her eyes burning fire with rage. She raised her fist to punch him.

"Hey!" Her arm was then grabbed by Robotboy, who held on tightly to prevent her from striking his friend. Nicole was strong, but Robotboy was even stronger.

"You hurt Tommy, Robotboy Hurt You Back!" Robotboy spoke, his eyes turning red.

"Don't worry Ro, she wouldn't dare hurt me in front of her own kids." Tommy said.

"Oh yeah? Try Me!" Nicole said.

"MOM!" Gumball shouted, making the mama turn her head, seeing him, Anais, Darwin, and Richard standing there. But her gaze was on Gumball, who was listening to their conversation.

"Mom, put him down." Gumball said. "Please." Seeing her son, she then turned back to the blonde boy. Taking a deep breath, she lowered him to the ground, back on his feet.

"Thank you." Tommy said.

"I didn't let you go for you." Nicole said. "And please tell your robot to let me go." She was right, for her arm was still held by Robotboy.

"Robotboy, let her go." Tommy said. On command, the robot released the mama cat's arm.

"Thank you..." Nicole said to the robot in a calm manner. Gumball then approached his mom.

"Mom?" Gumball asked, getting her attention. "Is what he said true? Am I... a monster?" Nicole bit her lip, not wanting to answer the question. But there was no hiding it anymore. Those mercenaries said it, the boy said it. She sighed.

"Honey... you're not a monster." Nicole said. "You're... a Shadowkan."

"Shadowkan... are they what he just described?" He asked, pointing at Tommy.

"Yes." Nicole said in defeat. The blue cat glanced at the floor, trying to process this in his head.

"So... does this mean... I'm not your son?" Gumball asked.

"No, don't think that honey." Nicole said as she leaned in and caressed Gumball's hands. "You are my son, honey. I gave birth to you."

"Then why am I... a hybrid?" Gumball asked. "Why am I a hybrid?" Nicole wanted to tell him, but how could he understand.

"It's... it's just complicated to explain." Nicole said. "But you are my son. Your father will always be your father, and I will always be your mother. You have to believe me." Gumball looked at Nicole, the cat who raised him. Looking into her eyes, he knew that she was telling the truth. He could feel it. The connection between them. That connection a child would feel with their mother and father. It was still there, the proof that he was truly her son. He took a deep breath.

"I believe you." Gumball said, making the mama cat smile. "Just promise me... that I won't become a monster."

"I promise, honey." Nicole said. "I promise." He then pulled her into a hug, nuzzling against her. The mama cat wrapped her arms around her, giving him a peck on the forehead.

"Dude!" Rigby's voice calling from the stairway.

"Rigby, Come Back Here!" Mordecai shouted as he and Carrie were chasing the raccoon down the stairway.

"Hey guys!" Rigby spoke. "Check it out! We're wanted people!" He held up his cellphone, showing wanted pictures of the Wattersons, Mordecai, and himself.

"What?!" Nicole asked.

"Yeah, they just sent out a warning that we're wanted for conspiracy!" Rigby said. "Man this looks so good! I gotta text Eileen about this-"

"Dude!" Gumball shouted as he grabbed Rigby's cellphone and smashed it to bits.

"NOOOO!" Rigby shouted. "That was a new phone!"

"Dude, you can't just keep a cellphone with you!" Gumball shouted.

"Why not?!" Rigby asked.

"Because they can track us!" Gumball said.

"What?!" Rigby asked.

"Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you." Mordecai said. "Government agencies can track us through cellphones!"

"WHAT?!" Rigby asked. "They can track us?!"

"Guys, it's alright." Nicole said. "But he has a point. Those guys can track us. We're lucky we didn't get compromised."

"But then... how'd they find you guys?" Mordecai asked.

"Yeah, they found your house." Rigby said. "How'd they managed to know where you were? And how they'd know you were keeping Gumball's girlfriend in your house."

"Dude, it's not official yet!" Gumball spoke quickly, his cheeks turned red. "But he's right, somebody must've told them." He then glared at Richard, who looked at him back.

"What?" Richard asked.

"Was it you dad?" Gumball asked.

"WHAT?!" Richard asked. "How could you accuse me of such things?!"

"Oh c'mon Dad!" Gumball shouted. "You were the one who delivered Pizza to them!"

"You know I would never betray this family!" Richard said. "Sure I get us into crazy disastrous events, but I would never sell my own family out! Besides, I didn't even know they had guns!"

"He's right dude, Mr. Dad wouldn't do something like that." Darwin said. "He was happy Aelita was staying with us."

"Then it was probably you!" Gumball said. The fish with legs gave a gasp.

"What?!" Darwin asked. "Why are you accusing me?!"

"Maybe because you were jealous that I was spending more time with Aelita!" Gumball said.

"Dude, I would never do that!" Darwin said. "Besides, I have no grudge against Aelita. She's like the sister I always wanted!"

"He's telling the truth!" Carrie said.

"How would you know?!" Gumball asked.

"Because, a Ghost knows when one is lying." Carrie said. "I know Darwin isn't lying! I even read his mind!"

"Wait, you read my mind?" Darwin asked.

"Well, yeah, not all the time though." Carrie said showing blush.

"Well somebody had to call them!" Gumball said.

"Gumball stop accusing everybody!" Nicole said. The blue teen cat gave a sigh, taking a couple of deep breaths.

"I'm sorry mom." Gumball said. "It's just... I promised Aelita that I would protect her. Those guys, they tried to kill us, and I was almost killed!"

"I know sweetie." Nicole said. "And you did protect her. You fought off those guys to allow us to escape. But I'm sure that Darwin nor your father would do such a thing, though they're aren't technically the bright ones."

"She's got a good point." Carrie said. "Those guys knew exactly where you lived. And besides, Darwin and your dad are too witless to give information like that... No offense, sweetie."

"None taken." Darwin said. "You're right on the butt on that."

"Spot." Carrie said.

"Yeah, what you said." The fish said.

"But then, how did they find us?!" Gumball asked.

"Hmmm..." Nicole began thinking. "Somebody had to tip them off!"

"It seems whoever called them had to know a lot about where we lived." Darwin said.

"Somebody who knew we were having her live in our house." Richard said.

"You mean somebody who hates Gumball's new girlfriend." Mordecai said.

"Somebody who is smarter than all of us combined." Rigby said. There was a moment of silence as everyone began thinking, until someone spoke up.

"Alright, It was ME!" Everyone turned to see Anais, who spoke those words. They all froze, with surprise slowly coming to their faces at what the bunny said.

"Wh... What?" Gumball asked.

"Anais... what did you do?" Nicole asked. The pink bunny gave a defeated sigh.

"It was me!" She said. "I'm the one who called those guys! While she was staying with us I did some research on her and found the stuff about her father and his illegal activites! And... I looked up the people who were after her... and... called them." Everyone stood still, unable to find the words to speak. Nicole was shocked by what she heard. Anais, the smart one in the whole family, her own daughter, sold them out?

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Tommy's voice as he got up from the box he was sitting on. "Do you have any idea what those guys were capable of?! Don't you realize you almost got every-"

"Dude." Gumball said, placing his finger on the boy's mouth. "Let me handle this." The blue cat stepped forward and took a deep breath.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" Gumball shouted at the pink litte bunny. "What did she ever do to you?!"

"Gumball, you heard her yourself!" Anais said. "Her dad betrayed the government!"

"Ok, first off Anais, it wasn't the government, it was a Secret Militia Group who wanted to take over the world!" Gumball said. "And secondly, her dad didn't betray them, they betrayed him!"

"It doesn't matter who did what!" Anais said. "They would've found us anyway! We could've gone to jail for keeping her in our house! She is a fugitive!"

"They made her a fugitive!" Gumball said. "She wasn't a threat to anybody! Do you not know what she'd been through?! Her mother was taken away from her when she was little. She was trapped inside a computer for almost 10 years. She lost her father. Her friends got killed trying to protect her and keep her old life a secret. Those monsters kidnapped her and did horrible experiments on her! They knocked her up with a baby for god's sake! She had been on the streets for a long, long time, enduring so much that no one her age should be going through, and the worse part is, her entire life was taken away from her!" Anais only looked away, feeling little guilt for what Aelita has been through.

"Sure, looking away like you don't care." Gumball said.

"I do care Gumball!' Anais said.

"Then you shouldn't have called those people in the first place!" Gumball said. "I mean, did you see what they did to me?! I got shot in the head! I could've died! We all could've died!"

"He's right." The blue cat and his sister looked to their mom, with Anais surprised.

"What?!" Anais asked. "Did you just say he's right?!"

"Yes I did." Nicole said. "As much as I hate to admit it and I know I'm regretting saying this, but Gumball is Right. And as for you young lady, that was a very stupid thing to do."

"Wait wait wait wait wait." Gumball said. "Did you just say that I'm right?"

"I do hate to admit it, but yes, yes you are Gumball." Nicole said. The blue cat quickly gasped upon hearing that. All the times that he would embarrass and disappoint his mother, he actually heard words of praise from his mom. He took in a deep breath.

"HA HA!" Gumball said pointing to Anais. "Mom said that I was right!" Anais only growled.

"Seriously?" Anais asked. "We're being hunted down by mercenaries and you rub that in my face?"

"C'mon, I've been dying to hear Mom say that I was right at least once in my life." Gumball said.

"Gah, Why do you always have to be so... so... Stupid?!" Anais shouted.

"Anais, don't call your brother that!" Nicole said.

"What?!" Anais asked. "Why are you taking his side?! He's the third dumb one in this family! He brought in some random stranger that could've robbed us!"

"Anais, she's just a young girl." Nicole said. "Sure it was kinda... obtuse for Gumball to take in a complete stranger, but he is right that we should help people in their darkest times. I will admit, I was skeptical when Gumball brought her to our home, but after learning who she was and what she'd been through, I wanted her to stay with us. And besides, you heard her story. She lost her friends and family to some crazy psychos and what not. She has no other family to go back to. Plus, what you did Anais was completely selfish. I was hoping you'd be the more mature one, but I guess I was wrong." Anais felt hurt when she heard that. She actually disappointed her mother, the woman that she praised and loved so much. It felt like her heart was cracking.

"Well... maybe I wouldn't have if you didn't call that little bitch the daughter you always wanted!" Anais shouted. Everyone gasped.

"Anais, Language!" Richard said.

"Wh... What?" Nicole asked surprised.

"I heard what you called her Mom!" Anais said, turning her attention back to the mother cat. "You called that homeless slut the daughter you never had, the daughter that you always wanted! What about me? Huh? I did everything in my power to make you proud! But yet, what I do is never enough for you!"

"Anais, you know that's not true." Nicole said. "I never expect too much from you-"

"Then why?!" Anais asked. "Why were willing to spend time with that... that french whore instead of me?! Is it because I'm too smart for you?! Is it because I'm boring now?!" Everyone was even more shocked to hear Anais say such horrible words.

"Whoa... and I thought your mom was the crazy one." Carrie said.

"You... You didn't call them because you thought she was a fugitive... you called them because you were jealous!" Gumball shouted to the bunny.

"You want me to admit?" Anais asked. "Yes, I am jealous! I hate that little skank ever since I met her! And I hate her even more for locking her dirty lips with you in the park!" Gumball froze up, hearing what she said. How did she know he and Aelita kissed?... unless.

"Wait... when I took Aelita to the mall, you snuck out of the house and followed us?!" Gumball asked.

"Of course I did!" Anais shouted, which Nicole and Richard gasped. "Because I didn't want her to take you away! I spent the whole time trying to sabotage your date, but I kept getting stopped by some adults who treat me like a... fucking baby!" Everyone gasped, hearing the bunny curse in front of them.

"Wow, if my phone was still working I would've recorded this." Rigby said, with Mordecai shaking his head with sigh.

"Wait a second." Gumball said. "Did you switch our drinks with chocolate milk instead of water?"

"No!" Anais shouted. "I placed Ipecac Syrup into the chocolate milk to make her vomit all that cake you two ate, but it was given to someone else! I also tried to whack her with one of the big whack-a-mole mallets while you two were in the Arcade! And I used a wolf horn to scare her and call pack a wolves to eat her alive! It was going so well until that tentacle monster showed up and tried to sufficate me! And then I see you two smooching in the park... That should've been me kissing you in the park! Not Her! I did all that because I loved you and wanted to protect you, and instead you gave your love and attention to that stupid, fucking, knocked up slut!" The bunny then started to pant, breathing in and out. Hearing her explaining how she was trying to ruin Gumball and Aelita's date, and trying to violently hurt the latter in the process, and of course Anais's sudden obsession with her brother made the whole family drop their mouths open.

"W... what just happened?" Gumball asked.

"I think Anais has a crush on you or something, and she's acting like a yandere." Darwin whispered to the blue cat, who gasped, and started to gag in a bit of disgust, with Darwin also gagging. Whenever Gumball would gag, Darwin would gag with him.

"Anais Elizabeth Watterson..." Nicole said. "I... I can't believe... I..." She couldn't think of anything to say, seeing how wicked her daughter truly was.

"Don't worry, honey." Richard said. "I know what will fix this. She just needs a hug. Come here little girl-" He approached the little bunny to give his daughter a hug, but then, she moved her head forward and bit his hand.

"OW!" He shouted, holding his wounded hand. "She bit me!"

"Anais, what is wrong with you?!" Nicole asked. "He's your father!"

"Because, he was treating me like a child!" Anais shouted. "And I'm sick of people treating me like a child!"

"But you are a child-" Darwin said.

"Shut up you retarded scaly abomination!" The Bunny hissed at the fish, making him gasp. The fish with legs began to tear up, and he began to cry. He hugged Carrie who started to comfort him.

"Dude, why did you have to do that?" Carrie asked.

"Because, he's so stupid, that's what!" Anais shouted. "This whole family is stupid! They don't even care what kind of danger we're even placed in!" Gumball looked at the bunny and shook his head.

"Well, it looks like we now know what kind of a person you are, Anais." Gumball said. "Not only did you try to get Aelita killed, you brought those bastards just to get rid of her, and nearly got us all killed in the process! Do you even realize what you've become Anais? You're a very naughty selfish brat!"

"You know what, yes, I'm a selfish little brat." Anais said. "At least I can admit that, unlike you."

"What does that suppose to mean?" Gumball asked.

"You know what I'm talking about!" Anais said. "Even when you try to be good you always get us in trouble! Every little thing you do ends up inadvertably getting all of us in harm's way! You say you try to help people, but the only one you try to help is yourself! When something bad happens you pin it on someone else!

"No I don't!" Gumball said, but then he started to think. "Do I?"

"Well, you did kinda set Jamie up to take the blame for how Clayton inadvertably knock Tobias out." Darwin said.

"Ok, you got a point there, but we didn't think that he was really gonna do it." Gumball said. "And besides, Clayton was just doing those weird hand movements or something."

"Yeah, I suppose." Darwin said.

"This is what I'm talking about!" Anais shouted. "You always find a loophole so you can get out of trouble!"

"Well, at least we admit we did something wrong when there's no loophole!" Gumball said. "But what you did was getting us killed!

"I may have nearly got us killed, but not as many times as you had in the past few years!" Anais said. "You put us, and so many people in life-ending situations when you yourself don't even realize the gravity of it. I don't even see why Penny even dated you!" Gumball gasped.

"You leave Penny out of this!" Gumball shouted.

"Why?" Anais asked. "You're the reason why she's dead in the first place." Gumball's eyes widened with shock, but then angry slowly began to seep in.

"Take... That... Back!" Gumball said.

"No..." Anais said. "You just can't face the reality, Gumball. Penny's dead because of you." That was a bad idea on Anais' part. Gumball began twitching upon hearing those words. Suddenly, his eyes began to vert to black, with his pupils glowing yellow, and his teeth began to sharpen, and his claws grew.

"GEEEEAAAAAARRGH!" He shouted as he leaped forward to attack the young bunny.

"Gumball, No!" Darwin shouted as he grabbed a hold of Gumball's tail, preventing him from getting any closer. "Gumball, it's not worth it! She's family!"

"I'll Kill You!" Gumball shouted. "I'll rip you apart you ungrateful selfish little brat!"

"Gumball Watterson, Stop!" Nicole shouted, slamming her foot down, the sudden sound from her foot made Gumball freeze in place, long enough for Darwin to jump in and hug him tightly. The blue cat tried to break free, but the fish kept whispering shhhhhh to him.

"Gumball... just relax... breathe... breathe..." Darwin said, petting his cat brother, who then slowed his breathing down and calmed down, his eyes reverting back to normal, and his claws and teeth switching back as well.

"You ok?" Darwin asked.

"Yeah, I'm ok." Gumball said. Seeing her son finally calmed down, Nicole took a breath.

"Look, what happened doesn't matter now." Nicole said. "What's more important is that we stop fighting amongst ourselves. Gumball, Anais, apologize to each other now." The blue cat only gave a groan.

"Fine." Gumball said. "Anais, I'm sorry..." He reluctantly extended his hand out as a sign of peace. The bunny looked at her brother and at his hand. She was about to shake his and, but the thoughts of neglection began to take her mind. Seeing how much Gumball gave his attention to Aelita only fueled the bunny's rage. She only gave an angry face.

"No." She said, surprising everyone, even Nicole.

"Anais... Apologize... Now!..." Nicole said.

"NO!" Anais shouted as she swatted Gumball's hand away. "I'm not gonna sharing blame here! I'm the victim in all of this!"

"How are you the victim?" Gumball asked. "Aelita didn't do anything to hurt you!"

"Well we wouldn't be in this mess if you hadn't brought her to our house in the first place!"

"I wanted to help her!" Gumball said. "She doesn't deserve to be alone in her time of need!"

"Then you're only dooming yourself!" Anais shouted. "Sometimes I wish that you were never my brother!"

"Well, that doesn't matter because I always hated you before you were even born!" Gumball shouted at the top of his lungs. Anais' eyes widened with shock, as Darwin, Nicole, Carrie, Tommy, and Richard gasped at what was said, while Robotboy tilted his head in confusion. The six year-old felt like an arrow just been shot right into her heart, shattering it to pieces. Tears began to fill up her eyes.

"Y..You never loved me?" Anais asked. A few moments passed until Gumball realized what he just said. He just said that he never wanted a sister in the first place. He began to look a way for a moment. Did he really just say that? Oh god, that wasn't suppose to come out.

"Anais, I didn't mean tha-" Gumball said.

"NO!" Anais shouted. "Just Shut Up! SHUT UP!" She looked up at him with broken tears and eyes.

"I hate you..." She muttered out the last three words, as Gumball was taken back at what she said. His little sister just said that she hated him. For Anais however, the sad broken feeling was now replaced with a growing rage.

"I Hate You." She said again. "I Hate You! I Hate You, I Hate You, I Hate You!" She then looked at her parents. "I Hate You, I Hate You!" Then she looked at Darwin. "And I definitely hate you!"

"Me?" Darwin asked. "What did I do? Is it because I accidently wore your panda shirt?"

"No, it's everything!" Anais said. "Nobody loves me! Nobody has ever loved me! I hate this family! I hate everything about this family! But you Gumball, you're the one I hate the most of all! I Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, HATE YOU! I should've pushed you off that plank into the firey incinerator years ago! You know what, I hope they find you again, and I hope they do kill you for real next time! You'll pay...! YOU'LL ALL PAY!" With that said, the little girl ran for it, heading out the doors into the outdoors.

"Anais!" Richard called out as he picked up her Daisy the Donkey plushie and ran after her. "You Forgot Your Daisy Donkey Plushie!" Nicole, Carrie, Tommy, Mordecai, Rigby, and Darwin only stood there, as Gumball only slumped to his knees. Tears were forming in his eyes. The older cat approached her son, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"She didn't mean it Gumball." Nicole said.

"No." Gumball said. "She's right. She deserves someone better than me." Unable to fight back the tears, he began to cry. His mother wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a hug.

"I never meant what I said." Gumball sobbed. "It was just in the heat of the moment. God, I'm the worst brother ever."

"Gumball, that's not true." Nicole said. "We all say things we don't mean when we're angry."

"But she hates me... my own little sister hates me..." Gumball said. In a fit of sadness and anger, he pushes his mother away and runs to the other side of the warehouse, heading outside. Nicole reached out to call him, but he was already gone. The older cat only sighed in defeat, as tears in her eyes began to form. Darwin and Carrie looked at each other.

"I better go talk to him." Darwin said, chasing after his brother. Nicole sadly turned away and went to the upper floor. Carrie looked at Tommy, who was in shock himself.

"You ok?" Carrie asked.

"Not really." Tommy said. The boy leaned back into his seat, trying to take in what Gumball said about what Aelita had been through. He heard what the blue cat said. She lost her friends, was branded a fugitive, surviving on the streets, raped several times. Everything she went through, Tommy was struggling to get it out of his head. Carrie noticed the teen was about to cry.

"Tommy?" The voice got his attention. Lifting his head up to see Robotboy staring at him. "What wrong, Tommy?" The boy gave a sigh.

"Everything..." He said. "Aelita's been through a lot... and I didn't help her when she needed it." He lowered his head, trying to hide his tears. The robot then wrapped his arms around the boy, giving him comfort. The boy was a bit surprised, but was relieved to have his friend there when he needed him. Robotboy wouldn't understand what was going on, but he would still be here though. The boy wrapped his own arms around his robotic friend. Carrie watched with a weak smile. Mordecai and Rigby looked back at the directon where Anais ran off to.

"Wow... what a little bitch." Rigby said, only to slapped from behind by Mordecai. Nicole made her way up the stairs and as she got up. She leaned against the pillar next to her. She began to choke on her voice, as tears of distress began to drop. Her whole family has fallen apart. Learning how horrible Anais had become, the only person she could blame was herself. She made Anais feel unloved, and no doubt that she was going to those people right now. Nicole knew that her family was in danger. An idea came to her head. She rushed to the bag that had the weapons inside. She then unzipped it, dug through it and held up what seemed to be a watch. It was actually a wrist commmunicator, which people use to contact others. Taking a deep breath, trying to hold her sorrow, she clicked the button, and spoke into the receiver.

"This is Nicole Watterson... of the Space Police Delta..." Nicole said, her voice trembling. "This is a SOS... Please, send help... Please."


He didn't stop running as he made his way out of the warehouse, unable to get the anguish he was feeling right now. He couldn't believe what he said. He said he never loved his sister in the first place. How could he say that? To his little sister? Sure he was really against the idea when his mom told him years ago that he was gonna have a little sister, but right up to before she was born, Gumball saw the benefits of having a little sister, someone to spend quality time with, to play games with, and when she was born, even though she tried to kill him all those years ago, he still loved his little sister.

How could he be so stupid, saying to her face that he hated her before she even existed. He couldn't take it anymore. He dropped to his knees and began to cry. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid, he called himself. He wasn't a big brother. He was a terrible big brother. He kept crying until Darwin approached him.

"Hey... you ok?" Darwin asked.

"Yes, Darwin." Gumball said. "Everything's peachy." The fish was about to leave, but then he remembered. He needed to stop taking everything Gumball said literally. He turned back around and looked at his cat brother.

"No, everything's not peachy." Darwin said.

"Yes it is." Gumball said.

"No it's not." Darwin said. "I may not be smart, but I'm not a retard." He knelt down besides Gumball and stroked his fur. The blue cat continued to cry.

"Why did I say that?" Gumball asked. "Why did I say that I never loved Anais."

"You were just angry, Gumball." Darwin said. "Anger makes us say things that we don't technically mean. Though back then when mom told us she was gonna have a baby, you were against the idea." The blue cat gave the fish with legs a cold glare.

"That's not making me feel better!" Gumball said.

"I know, sorry." Darwin said, as the blue cat continue to shed tears.

"I really love Anais, Darwin." Gumball said. "You know, like a brother-sister way. The day she was born was the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure she tried to kill us many times when she was a month old, but who could blame her? Most babies born in the drive thru are always born bad."

"Yeah." Darwin said. "Mrs. Mom always told Mr. Dad that the drive thru was a bad idea. But I know you didn't mean to say that you didn't love her, Gumball. We both know you didn't mean it." The blue cat sniffed.

"You really think so?" Gumball asked.

"Yeah, she just needs to remember the good times we had together, that's all." Darwin said.

"But how can she?" Gumball asked. "I chased her away..." He continued to cry, as the fish with legs continued to stroke his fur. He then hugged him.

"It's going to be ok, bro." Darwin said. "You'll both make up. I just know it."

"I hope so." Gumball said.

"C'mon buddy." Darwin said as he helped his blue cat brother up. "Let's go back inside. Why don't you talk with Aelita? She's also in need of some comforting."

"Ok, I guess that-" Before Gumball could finish that sentence, hearing Aelita's name made him realize something. He didn't remember seeing her after going to talk to mom.

"Wait a second... where is Aelita?" Gumball asked, looking around. But then something caught his eye. He saw somebody running from the warehouse. It was Aelita.

"There she is." Darwin said.

"Aelita, Wait!" Gumball said, chasing after her. The girl kept running, ignoring his pleas. She just wanted to keep running. The blue cat however was able to keep up, and grab her hand.

"Aelita, wait!" Gumball said. "Where are you going?"

"Gumball, let go of me!" She said.

"But where are you doing?" He asked

"I have to go!" Aelita said. "I can't stay here!"

"What?!" Gumball asked. "But you can't go!"

"I have to!" Aelita said.

"No, don't go!" Gumball said.

"PLEASE, JUST LET ME GO!" She shouted, startling the blue cat. The girl only stared at the cat. But it wasn't a glare, it was a face of anguish, despair, and guilt. "Please..."

"Aelita." Gumball said.

"I put you all in enough danger as it is already." She said. "You lost everything because of me. You lost your home, your lives, and everything! You almost got killed. I saw what he did to you, and I can't get it out of my head! Your sister was right. This was all my fault. I've done nothing but bring bad luck on all of you! The only thing that I've been to you all was nothing but a terrible burden!" The blue cat widened his eyes at what she called herself.

"JUST STOP!" Gumball shouted, startling the girl. "Stop blaming yourself for everything that's happened! We chose to let you stay with us! We chose to take the risk! You've don't deserve to suffer anymore! Please, don't leave us! Don't leave me! I already lost Penny, I don't wanna lose you too!" The boy froze, realizing that he said... her name. Aelita stood frozen as well, as silence was all that there was. Letting go of her hands, the blue cat then turned around, walking away a few steps, and then knelt to the ground. Tears were starting to pour down his face. Then it began to link in Aelita's mind. Nicole had told her about a dear friend Gumball lost years ago. That must've been her.

"Your mother... mentioned a girl that you lost..." Aelita said. "That was her... was it?" The blue cat lowered his head, trying to hold back his tears.

"Please... please don't make me tell you..." Gumball said.

"Gumball... please tell me." Aelita said. "I've already told you about me... please tell me about her. I want to help you... like you helped me." The blue cat lifted his head up. She was right. He did help her this far, and now she wants to help him. He knew he had to tell her... about Penny.

"Have I ever told you... about Penny?" Gumball asked.

"No... no you didn't." Aelita said. The blue cat lowered his head.

"She was my friend... my girlfriend." Gumball said. "I loved her so much... and she loved me too. I don't know what it was about me that made her love me so much. But she did. She loved me for who I was... and I loved her for who she was. She... she was everything to me..." The girl then approached him.

"What happened?" Aelita asked. The blue cat lifted his head, tears forming in his eyes.

"She... There was reports of a monster from the Forest of Doom." Gumball began. "But it managed to get to our town. We were going to Elmore Cinema to see a romantic flick, but then... The monster showed up. And I... being an idiot tried to take it on to look good in front of Penny. But it pinned me into a corner, and it lashed at me. Penny jumped in, and..."

"GUMBALL, LOOK OUT! GAAAAHHH!"

"PENNY!"

"It held her on the floor... and it... It forced itself on her. I tried to do something... but it stabbed me with a blade, and it pinned me into a wall. All I did was cough up blood, as I watched helplessly... as it... GAAAAAHHH!" He let out a scream of anguish, and slammed his fists into the ground. The dam had broken, and tears began to pour from Gumball's eyes as he cried.

"When I came to, I saw the beast dead, and she was on the floor..." He wailed. "She died right in my arms! It... It was all my fault! She died because of my stupidity! She didn't deserve to die! It should've been me! It should've been me! IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!" He slammed his hands onto the floor, unaware that they shifted into his mutant claws. As his fist hit the surface, the ground crumbled up in front of him, leaving nothing but a large crack. He lowered his head in shame, unable to fight back the tears anymore. Aelita stood there, with tears dropping from her cheek as well. She approached him, and knelt down behind him, her hand on his shoulder.

"It wasn't your fault." Aelita said.

"Yes it is..." Gumball whimpered.

"No, it's not." Aelita said. "Sure, you didn't review your options carefully, but the fault is not your's. It was a horrible coincidence that was beyond your control." The blue cat lifted his face, wiping away the tears. He only lowered his head once more.

"No matter what I do, no matter any good thing I try to do, I only make things worse." Gumball said. "Maybe the world would be better off... if I didn't exist."

"Don't say that!" Aelita said.

"Huh?" Gumball asked.

"Don't ever say that!" Aelita said. "You have every right to exist just as everyone else! You have a wonderful life and a wonderful family to support you. And Gumball... you don't make things worse... all the time from what I can tell. You do such wonderful things. You helped everyone remember Molly, you helped Carmen and Alan get back together, you helped Bobert feel like a real person, you even help Mr. Robinson, even if he's such a horrible person to you. You do great things Gumball, even when you don't realize it." The blue cat began to think.

"Now that you mentioned it, I did manage to patch things up between me and Rob, and convinced him not to destroy the universe." Gumball said.

"Exactly." Aelita said. "In the end, you manage to do the right things and help those who need it, in your own silly way." The blue cat gave a smile, and a sniff.

"Thanks..." Gumball said, but then looked back on the ground with a frown. "I never did realize that I did good things after all. It's just... Penny always told me that. But since she passed away, I didn't have anybody else. Nobody to like... nobody that... that would like me." He then felt arms wrapped around him, Aelita's arms, as she nuzzled the back of his head.

"I like you..." She said. "I like you a lot." Hearing that touched him right in the heart, in which Gumball allowed the tears to flow from his eyes. Turning himself, he nuzzled into her neck, hugging her tightly. In this moment, neither of them wanted to let go, only to be in each other's embrace.

"Gumball... do you want me to stay?" Aelita asked. The blue cat gave a nod.

"Yes, I want you to stay." Gumball said. "But... I want you to stay because you want to... don't you?" The girl looked at the blue cat, and gave a smile. Deep down, she really wanted to stay with his family... with him.

"Of course I do." Aelita said. "I really want to stay with you. You all have welcomed me into your family, and you've given up so much for me... But... They'll find us again." Aelita said. "And it won't be long until they do."

"Well then, if they do, we won't back down." Gumball said. "I won't let them take you away."

"But Gumball, they'll try and kill you like they did before." Aelita said. "If they find us-"

"When they do come back, we'll be ready." Gumball said. "We'll run or fight, whatever it takes. I'll keep you safe. I'll keep both of you safe." His paws caressed the girl's stomach. She looked at the cat, who was willing to put his life on the line for her. She gave a hopeful smile, and leaned her head onto his, both their foreheads touched each other's.

"You're so sweet Gumball." Aelita said. "I can see why Penny liked you so much."

"Yeah." Gumball said. But the he looked away for a second, his thoughts were back on Anais, and on everything that happened.

"What's wrong?" Aelita asked. He gave a heavy sigh.

"Anais..." Gumball said.

"I know." Aelita said. "I heard everything." The blue cat only closed his eyes, allowing tears to drop out.

"I didn't mean what I said to her." He said. "Maybe she wouldn't have done this if I'd... if I'd just showed her that I loved her too." He couldn't help but cry a bit. Sure, what Anais did was pretty selfish, but maybe he wouldn't have done it if he hadn't ignored her and let her feel unloved. He moved and hugged Aelita. She too hugged him back.

"It'll be ok, Gumball." Aelita said. "We'll try and find her tomorrow." He knew that she was right. There was no way they would be able to find her now. She's probably long gone right now.

"Ok." Gumball said. He then looked at the girl, his paws caressed her face.

"What?" she asked. Unable to keep back anymore, he leaned in and kissed, sealing their lips together.

"I already lost two of the most important people to me." Gumball said. "Anais's gone, Penny's dead. Promise me you won't leave me." The girl looked at him, asking her to stay with him. In her heart, she wanted to stay with him. She was not gonna let him be alone ever again. Besides, she didn't want to be alone either.

"I promise." Aelita said. "Just don't leave me either, ok?"

"I promise." Gumball said as their noses. Once again, they both leaned in and kissed, more passionately than ever. They didn't care who was watching, or who would hear them. What mattered was that they had each other.

From above, Tommy watched from the balcony. A smile was forming on his face. Despite learning about all the horror she's been through, he was glad that she found solice in someone. From the warehouse entrance, Mordecai and Rigby were watching from afar, seeing the blue cat kiss the girl.

"Oh, so she is Gumball's girlfriend." Mordecai said.

"You owe me a buck." Rigby said, only to get a sigh from the blue jay.

Not all, however, were happy seeing this. From the distance, Anais was watching the whole thing. In her mind, mixed stuff were going on in her head. Sadness, Anger, and Pain. The pain of her brother's harsh words, the sadness feeling no place in her family, and the anger she held toward that girl... that whore, Anais thought. She didn't give a donkey's dropping if that girl went through so much. Just seeing that little slut locking lips with her brother brought rage to her eyes. She has been seen mad before at times, but this would really take the cake. She turned around and left, leaving her... no... leaving the morons behind. No matter what it took, she was going to make them pay. She'll make them all pay. Turning her head, she saw a red telephone booth. With no hesitation, she went inside, inserted a quarter inside, and typed in a number. She then placed a mask over her head. It rang for a few seconds until someone picked up.

"Hello?"

"Is this the Hydra Force?" Anais asked through the mask, which distorted her voice.

"Yes?"

"I know where the girl and Wattersons are." She hissed.


1!

Well... that was a lot of feels right? So much drama. So much... sadness.

Sure, Anais has done some bad stuff, threatening and trying to hurt Aelita, but the bunny shouldn't be entirely blamed. The family has made Anais feel unloved, which made her resent them and Aelita for making it worse. Gumball's affection towards his new friend was the breaking point, and now Gumball said things he never meant to say. It's gonna take a lot for him to make this right. Unfortunately, Anais' no longer loves them, as the feeling has grown to hate and cruelty.

Also, for those who were a bit uneasy with Tommy attacking Gumball in the previous chapter, you should now know why he had the instinct to do so. He has encountered the Shadowkan before, and they kidnapped someone very dear to him, so yeah.

It's almost time everyone. Our heroes are getting ready to unite and the two parties are going to be joined together! Are you excited?! I hope so!
