"Come on, Gumball, you've been out of school for four days now, it's time to go back."

"Mom, I don't want to. What if the doctor's call you about Darwin today? I need to be here!"

"I know this is hard, Gummypuss, but Darwin is still alive, he's just suffering blood loss. He's getting a blood transfusion, he'll be fine," Nicole said, rubbing her son's back as he laid face-first on his bed.

"Gummy, come on," Penny requested, "You can't miss another day or you'll have to repeat the eighth grade."

"Why can't I just drop out?"

Penny sighed, "Gumball, plea⸻"

The wall phone rang, and Gumball quickly sat up, running downstairs to answer it.

"Hello?" Gumball asked the caller.

"Darwin's blood transfusion went well. Come pick him up and he'll go back to school tomorrow. No physical activity."

"That's great!" Gumball said, hanging up the phone and running back upstairs, "Mom! Mom! He's coming home!"

"You still have to go to school, Gumball," Nicole reminded him.

"No, I'm not! I want to see him!" Gumball shouted.

"Penny, can you take him?" Nicole asked.

Penny nodded and took Gumball's hand, "Come on, Gumball, go get dressed."

Gumball did put his clothes on…while crying. He couldn't help it, he wanted to see his brother.

"Darwin, oh thank goodness you're okay!" Nicole said as she ran up to him.

"Thanks, Mrs. Mom, but where's Gumball?"

"He had to go to school but don't worry, you'll see him this after⸻"

"Darwin!" a voice said from behind the door way, revealing it to be Gumball's when he ran up to Darwin, hugging him tight, "Oh, you have no idea how terrified I was!"

"Gumball, I told you to go to school!" Nicole scolded.

Penny peeked out from behind the door, "Sorry…"

Nicole groaned, "You have to get to school!"

"Not without Darwin!"

"Fine, Darwin, you're going to school," Nicole informed him.

Penny knew this was going to happen, so she already grabbed his book bag.

Principal Brown ran in a panic through the halls of Elmore Junior High. He burst into the library, where the Librarian was at her desk.

"Is the library up to date with the district guidelines?!" he asked.

"Let me check," she replied, pulling out a telegraph key and sent a message in Morse code, "We should get an answer in a couple of weeks."

"Gosh darn it! I'll just check myself," Principal Brown said, rushing over to a bookshelf. He pulled out a book, reading it immediately, "Zoology... what the?! Are you telling me this is the latest edition?!"

Principal Brown held up the book to the Librarian's face. It shows an old-fashioned, medieval-style drawing of a lion, with a description written in Latin.

"The monk should finish the new one by the end of the next Renaissance," the librarian replied.

"You have five minutes to find me some modern textbooks!"

"Uh... okay," said the librarian, picking up a large hourglass. He turned it over and panicked once again, rushing out of the room to the cafeteria, "The vegetarian option is less ham?"

"Yeah, but to be honest, that was because we were running low on ham," Rocky replied.

"We're supposed to feed the kids five fruits and vegetables a day!"

"Do mushrooms count?"

"Yes!"

Rocky started to walk away, but he was interrupted by Principal Brown.

"Where are you going?!" he scolded.

"To scrape the walls of the locker room showers," answered Rocky.

"When I come back, I wanna see green everywhere!" Principal Brown left and Rocky pulled out a spray can and started to spray green paint on food. Principal Brown burst into the teachers' lounge, where Miss Simian, Mr. Small, and Mr. Corneille were lounging. He then hurriedly started sifting through papers, "I should've done this before, but I need to check your work references - starting with you, Corneille."

Mr. Corneille, who was in the middle of trying to exit through the window, nervously looking back at Principal Brown, who picked up his cell phone and started a call.

"Elmore Penitentiary," the voice from the phone answered.

Principal Brown quickly ended the call and looked at Corneille in shock, "You worked in a prison?"

"Well, I did eight years hard labor, which I guess is technically work…"

Principal Brown dropped his papers and began crying, dropping his glasses on the floor.

"Pull yourself together, Nigel! You sound like a winded Chinese opera singer. What's wrong?" Lucy, Miss. Simian, asked.

Principal Brown stopped crying, and picked up his glasses. His tone grew serious and fearful, "He's coming."

"Who?" Lucy replied.

"The school superintendent."

In the school auditorium, a live-action human is standing at the podium, with a name plate on it that reads "Superintendent Evil". He tapped his fingers on the podium and glared out at the students and teachers in the room.

"That's a human," Ember told Gumball.

Gumball shivered in fear, "Teriffying."

"Elmore Junior High. My name is Superintendent Evil. Let me reassure you, I did not come to this school to break you and rebuild you from the bottom up."

The audience sighed as Evil continued his speech.

"I came to break you," he continued. Everyone was shocked in fear, he continuing⸻again⸻his speech, "This school, and its students, is in breach of every conceivable rule... including the rules of decency."

Sussie was sloppily eating chicken legs, crying out sadly.

"This is going to change. Any questions…" Several students and teachers raised their hands…until he finished his sentence, "...regarding my authority will be severely punished," they lowered their hands, "I am here to correct your outlandish behavior. Any questions…" yet again, they raised their hands, "...regarding my methods will also be severely punished," they yet again lowered their hands, "This school is diseased, and I'm the medicine. Any questions?" Nobody spoke nor moved, "Very good! Looking forward to working with you."

Ring…ring…ring…

"Medicine? What kind of medicine is this guy?" Darwin asked, as Gumball, Penny, Carrie, Ember, and Ken all walked together down the hall.

"Not the kind you put in your mouth," answered Gumball.

"The Superintendent is the next step. We'll eventually turn into humans like him," Ember explained, from the experience of the episode she watched back in her dimension, "It's a strange process…and the Superintendent…the guy inside…is…quite shocking."

"Who is he?" Darwin asked.

"Nevermind that now," Ember said with a slight nervous laughter.

Darwin gasped, "Do you realize what you get when you change the letters around in Superintendent Evil's name? You get Superintendent Vile. Mm-hm."

"Dude, his name is literally evil," Gumball replied.

"Hmm... e-vil... I guess. You gotta want it though," replied Darwin.

"I said stand up straight, young man!" said an outside figure's voice.

The group turn their heads to see Superintendent Evil lecturing Banana Joe.

"Everybody knows the crescent is the shape of the slacker, the hammock, the despondent Frenchman's croissant, the moon that's too lazy to turn a man into a werewolf," he continued.

"But what do you want me to do?" Banana Joe replied.

"Stand up STRAIGHT!"

Banana Joe tried to hesitate, but struggled to stand up straight. He eventually serveres his body into several pieces in order to stand straight. Superintendent Evil smiles in satisfication, "Better. Now detention. There's a dress code in this school, and bare midriffs are forbidden. And I'm counting four on you."

Banana Joe winces sadly and walks away, struggling to maintain balance. The group watched Banana Joe walk away toward the detention room.

"He's so mean…" Gumball noted.

Darwin scoffed, "That's nothing. Because tattoos are forbidden, he made Teri erase her face."

"How is she holding up?" Gumball asked.

The two look into the window of a room, seeing a faceless Teri with a hole-punched ear.

"Well, she tried to answer the phone but hole-punched her ear, and then got detention for having a piercing," Darwin explained.

"Well, at least she finds comfort in feeding the science lab lizard…" Gumball replied.

Teri took crumbs from slices of bread and scattered them into a glass habitat with nothing but a large cucumber in it. She accidentally picked up Anton and pulled a piece of him out, causing him to scream as Gumball and Darwin flinched and moved away from the window.

"And have you seen Simian lately? She's totally trying to get with Evil behind Principal Brown's back. I mean, if she's gonna have two faces, why do they both have to be so gross?" Gumball asked. They slipped upon Principal Brown and Miss Simian, with the former crying.

"What do you mean we can't see each other anymore?" Principal Brown asked his former girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, Nigel, it's just not professional for two members of staff to be in a relationship."

Principal Brown started sobbing while running off. Miss. Simian noticed Superintendent Evil walking by, and making her head turn 180 degrees, revealing one covered in makeup. She posed and looked at Evil, with one eye closed. He stopped and turned toward her.

"Simian, I'm cutting your pay in half."

"What? Why?"

"For being half asleep on the job. Your left eye is closed," Simian opened her eye as Evil continued, "You've been a teacher here for 300,000 years, and your methods are still as slack as your…" he observed Simian in disgust before continuing, "... everything."

Gumball smirked, "Oh, well, he's not all bad. I think that moment warrants an extra-special high five," after he high fived Darwin, he hesitated, "Hmm... definitely higher."

Their hands extended through the windows and roof of the school and high up into outer space, where they slapped together silently.

"Forgot there's no sound in space," Gumball reminded himself.

Superintendent Evil cleared his throat as Gumball and Darwin noticed Evil looking at their extended arms. They brought them back down, and made a pile at their feet.

"Watterson and Watter-adopted-son, detention!"

"But we didn't break any rules!" Gumball argued.

"You broke the rules of nature!"

Darwin pointed to Colin, who is walking by, "That egghead is literally an egg!"

Gumball noticed Willian flying by, "And William's a telekinetic flying eyeball! Everyone here breaks the rules of nature!"

"Not for much longer. Listen to me, Elmore Junior High!"

Numerous other students and teachers of the school approached Evil as he announced, "I've had enough of your cartoonish conduct. From here on, any abnormal behavior is to be corrected."

"Oh wow," Ember said, walking up to Gumball and Darwin, "He knows."

"You cannot be a triangle, Miss. Jade," Evil scolded.

"What's wrong with triangles?!" Ember yelled.

"Detention!" Evil shouted.

Ember groaned and walked to the detention room.

Ring!

"Now get to class!" Evil shouted once again.

William flies over to a door and begins to open it with his telekinesis, but Evil stopped him, "No. The normal way."

William turned back toward the door. He attempted to open it using his body rather than his powers. The other students watched sadly as Evil glared cruelly. Eventually, William was able to force the door open, pushing himself through, at great pain to himself.

Darwin's eyes filled with tears, "So brave…"

Gumball raised an eyebrow, "That's a broom closet, though."

Ring!

"Can you believe him? I'm pretty sure there's laws against these laws!" Gumball ranted.

"Well, I can't believe Carrie had to be buried if she wanted to attend class!" Darwin replied.

Next to Darwin, Carrie's grave laid on her desk, emerging from it, "And I can't believe they used manure instead of soil."

"We gotta do something!" Gumball suggested.

"What can we do? He's got the whole school in the palm of that weird, fleshy pink thing on the end of his arm!" Darwin replied.

"Whatever you do, do it fast," said Alan, tied into a humanoid shape, "He forced me to have a body. My heart is in my mouth. Although... judging by the taste... it may be my lower intestine."

"He's right. We've gotta move fast. I mean, half the class is already in Evil's office getting 'fixed'," demanded Gumball.

"Fixed is a good thing, right?"

"Tell that to a dog."

The office door opened, Masami is revealed to have transformed into a cartoon human girl. She hunched over, and stares at them, "Gumball…Darwin…you're next."

"Masami…?" Darwin asked.

"Sure! Heh... we'll... be right with you," Gumball replied, nervously.

Gumball and Darwin fled in horror through the hallways. They turned and crashed into a tall human girl with a green coat.

"Who are you?" asked Gumball.

"I'm Tina."

Gumball and Darwin screamed in shock and ran off. Darwin collided with a human boy in a rainbow shirt.

"Who are you??"

"I'm Tobias."

Gumball and Darwin screamed once again and turned around, crashing immediately into another human girl.

"Who are youuu...?" Gumball asked, turning his face upside down, "Sussie?"

"Yeah?"

Gumball turned his head back right-side up, "Okay, that's a massive improvement. But still!" He and Darwin continued running until they scream yet again.

"What's the hurry?"

"Join us."

"It's quite painless."

"It's better this way."

"It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way. It's better this way! It's better this⸻"

Gumball and Darwin spun around nervously and fell through a door. Superintendent Evil appeared and looked down at them.

"Trust me. This is in your best interest."

Gumball and Darwin stood up, and looked into the room, gasping. Rocky and Juke are hooked up to machines, with the human Masami in the middle in a chamber filled with water. The machines transformed Juke and Rocky into cartoon humans like the others.

"What are you doing to them...?"

"Fixing them. And their transformation is almost complete."

"Almost...?" Gumball asked.

The skin on Masami's hand and eyes started peeling away, revealing a live-action human form underneath. Her eyes opened as Gumball and Darwin, mortified, ran out of the room screaming. Ember and Ken was standing in front, still in their shape-headed forms.

"Gumball, Darwin, follow us!" Ember said, pulling Gumball as Ken pulled Darwin into the brown closet, "I found a solution. Act like the others around them. Banana to Banana Joe, kiss Penny⸻"

"Penny's been taken?"

Ember nodded, "Just act like the person and they'll transform back!"

"Okay, got it," Gumball said, exiting the closet to find Banana Joe in front of him, "Oh! Uh... " He hastily turned his butt back around, "What has he done to you, buddy? Remember who you are!"

"Shh!"

"Ba-na-na-naaa..."

"No! No no no!"

"BA-NA-NA-NAAAAA!"

Evil turned his head, hearing Gumball's voice. Gumball continued to sing as Banana Joe flinched, covering his head.

"Ba-na-na-na ba-na-na-na ba-na-na-na! Ba-na-na-na ba-na-na-na ba-na-na-na! Ba-na-na-na! Ba-na-na-na! Ba-na-na-na na NAAAAAA!"

Banana Joe screamed, transforming back into his ordinary self, his human body falling around him, "Ba-na-naaaaaa... NA!"

Banana Joe and Gumball performed various dancing moves, including the Floss and the Russian Squat Dance, before they spun and stopped in a disco pose.

"Ba-na-na-na!" cheered the banana.

"Woo!" Gumball and Penny shouted together.

The two laughed as Gumball gave a thumbs-up to Darwin, who was with Sussie.

"Join us, Darwin!" Sussie demanded.

"Sussie, are you sure you don't mean... MAYONNAISE?"

"W-What?"

"Sussie say WHAAAAA?"

"No... no... no! Sussie can't help herself!" Sussie said, before transforming back into her ordinary self, flailing her arms excitedly. Gumball ran up to a human girl, who he thought was Penny.

"Hey! Penny! This will snap you out of it," Gumball said, before giving "Penny" a kiss, making her blush. Nearby, another girl glares at Gumball.

"Gumball!" a voice shouted, revealing to be Penny as she shifted into her dragon form, shooting fire at Gumball.

"Oh! Uh... sorry Penny! And, uh, sorry to... whoever you are," said Gumball before he ran off. The first girl turned into Sarah, who was gasping in excitement. Gumball and Darwin continued to run through the hall, coming across another human, turning on a nearby water fountain.

"Hey, Leslie!" Darwin greeted. The water caused the leaves to grow around the human, making him turned back into Leslie. Elsewhere, Mr. Small, Anton, Bobert, and Idaho are reverted from human into their normal forms, a "Yes!" from Mr. Small and Anton and an "Affirmitive!" from Bobert.

Numerous students and teachers of the school gathered around each other excitedly while cheering. Suddenly, Superintendent Evil appeared in front of them with an angry stare.

"Stop that!" he yelled, "What do you think you're doing?!"

"Putting an end to your nonsense!" Gumball answered.

"Yeah!" followed the others.

Evil cracked his knuckles and raised his fists, "We'll see about that."

"Fistfight? Really?"

"Take him down!" Principal Brown shouted from the crowd.

Gumball raised his fists and they both started glaring at each other for a long time. Evil then unexpectedly turned tail and ran off. Banana Joe glares, removing his peel, and throws it, causing Evil to slip and fall at the end of the hallway. The students and teachers gathered around him, stare in confusion, as his head has become deformed and polygonal.

"What the…" Gumball said, shocked, "Rob?!"

Ember scratched the back of her head, "Told you."

"You didn't bother to tell us in the first place??" Gumball asked, angrily questioning Ember.

"Uh," Ember said, continuing the head scratching, "Heh, uh⸻"

"You fools!" Rob explained, standing up, "I did all this for a reason! Don't you understand what's going on in Elmore? You have two choices: live in ignorance about what's gonna happen here, or listen to what I have to say! It might just save your lives. The reason I've been trying to transform you is bec⸻"

Tina interrupted by slamming her tail on Rob, smashing the floor with him.

"Uh, I think that's quite enough," Principal Brown said nervously.

Rob, gasping, replied, "Thank you... thank you…"

"Y'all, Rob is trying to save us," Ember said, followed by a sigh, "This world is disappearing. First, we had Violence, who entered Darwin's body, and then into mine, what was supposed to drag Darwin to suicide, but we saved him, and now, the next step, is the statics. We need to work together to save this world! Gumball, Darwin, Carrie, Penny, Ken, come with me to the factory."

"So, what's going on?" Gumball asked, "Are we finally gonna get the information we need?"

"Gumball, be patient, I don't know how to say this…" Ember explained, "But there's no solution at this point…all we have to do is let it play out…"

"Is there not another way??" Penny asked.

Ember sighed, "I…I will work on a potion, but the world will disappear quickly…so I have to be quick!"

Gumball said it. He ruined it. "This day can't get any worse⸻"

Everyone interrupted him, "GUMBALL!"

Suddenly, Ember's body started fading into dust. "Ember!!" Gumball shouted, "What the what is going on?!"

"Elmore is an experiment," Ember said, before completely disappearing.

"An experiment?" Darwin repeated, "What does she mean by that?"

"I think she said…we're not real," Gumball said as the world underneath him turned into a void, releasing his grip and sending him downwards.

"We jump on the count of three," Penny said, "One! Two! Three!"

In the void…

"This way!" Penny yelled as she spotted Gumball.

"Penny!" he called out, trying to make his way over to her. Once he did, he held onto her, trembling in fear, "What are we going to do?? Ember's gone and soon, the world will be gone! Why didn't we listen to Rob?? He was trying to save us!"

"Gumball, it's okay," Penny held him closer, which turned into a hug, "It's okay."

"Why did you jump?" Gumball asked as they stopped their hug.

"I have a solution."

"Really?" Carrie asked.

Penny nodded, "Let's act like normal people."

"Why?"

"Maybe Rob was onto something. If Elmore was an experiment, let's make it an experiment gone right."

"Makes sense, but I don't know how to act normal," Gumball said. Suddenly, a voice from behind him replied.

"Nobody is normal," said the voice, "And the world has to understand that!" Gumball and Penny turned to see Ember throwing a potion in the void after opening it, as everything reversed back to normal. The void closed, leaving the group on the street.

"I thought you faded away!" Gumball shouted, "Where did you actually go??"

"I did what I had to," Ember replied, "You can't rely on me for your whole life. You have to learn to fix things yourselves, too, like you did before I got here."

"Oh, yeah, sorry about that," Gumball responded, scratching his ear, "It's just…you're smart, and I'm not…"

"Hey!" Ember scolded, "You are smart! How do you explain the 100s on the quiz and exam?"

"Luck?"

"No, Gumball," Penny giggled, "You're smart because you just are. It's not luck."

"But, I've always been stupid."

"That's in the past," Ember assured, "Focus on the present."

"I agree!" Darwin said, "Just because you used to be dumb, doesn't mean you can't change!"

Ember nodded, "Just like how you learned karate."

"And how you used your brain."

"And how you done good on something you were never there to learn about."

"It's because you are smart."

"Thanks everyone…" Gumball smiled, "I feel better now."

"I have an idea! Let's have a celebration party!" Penny suggested, "Ember?"

"Let's do it," she smiled, "We are the quintents!"

"We are unstoppable!"

"We are⸻"

"The Amazing REWorld of Gumball!"
