Hey guys, welcome to chapter 6 of: The Survivor. To be honest, I'm surprised at how often I update this story. I would update my Gumball/DBZ parody, but I have no idea what to do next for that, so if you guys have anything just let me know. But I'm getting off topic, let's start this chapter.

Gumball was in his aunt's car, a blank stare upon his face. He was thinking about the information that Cathy had told him of. Cathy glanced out the corner of her to see his expression.

"This must be very shocking for you, huh?" she asked as kept her eyes on the road.

"Oh, let's see, I just found out I have a potentially dangerous tiger spirit inside of me. Oh yeah, I'm totally fine" Gumball said sarcastically.

Cathy pulled up by the sidewalk in front of the house.

"Relax kiddo. I'm here to help you out" she told her young nephew as they got out of the car and walked up to the front door. Cathy opened the door and saw her sister sitting on the couch with Richard.

It was at that moment that two men wearing hardhats come from upstairs.

"Uh, who are they?" Cathy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I called them here. They're here to replace the broken window in Gumball's room" Nicole told her. Cathy and Gumball gave each other quick glances.

"Yeah, and we just finished. So that'll be about two hundred dollars" one of the workers said.

"Of course" Nicole said, taking one hundred dollars out of her wallet. She then noticed that she was short on cash. "Oh, darn, I'm a little short. Cathy, do you think you could spare a hundred?"

The white cat in question took out her wallet and pulled out a hundred. "You don't have to worry about paying me back" she told her big sister as she handed her the money. "Come on, Gumball. We'll be in the backyard if you need us" she said as she and Gumball walked past them.

"I wonder how long it took for them to notice the window was broken" Gumball said as he and his aunt walked out into the backyard.

"Nicole probably noticed when she went upstairs to wake your siblings up and called the repair guys after breakfast" Cathy replied. "But that's not important. What IS important is teaching you to control your tiger abilities. Sit down" she told him.

Gumball sat down on the grass as he was told, with his legs folded.

"So how are we going to do this? Are you going to do some cool mystical thing that lets me see the spirit face to face, and then tame it like an awesome warrior tames a mighty beast?" he asked almost excitedly as his aunt sat down with him.

"Uh… no. What we're going to do is completely different. We're going to do some breathing exercises. Meditating" she explained. Gumball groaned in both boredom and disappointment, knowing that that didn't sound at all exciting… it didn't even sound fun. "I know, I know, meditating and breathing sounds extremely boring"

"It IS boring, Aunt Cathy" Gumball proclaimed with a sigh. Cathy replied with an amused chuckle.

"Trust me, it'll be worth it in the end" She told him as she playfully rubbed his furry blue head. "Besides, you could probably use it if you ever get annoyed" she added.

"Ok. So how do we do this?" Gumball asked.

"Simple. Breath in…" Cathy inhaled through her nose. "Breath out…" She exhaled through her mouth. "Breath in…" She inhaled through her nose once more. "Breath out…" she exhaled through her mouth once more.

Gumball did as his aunt demonstrated to him, calmly breathing in and out. Meditating.

"This is boring the crap out of you, isn't it?" Cathy said, opening one eye.

"Yep" He replied, opening his eyes.

"Thought so. Well I don't know what else to tell you, sweetie" she said.

"Isn't there another way we can do this?" Gumball asked.

"I could try teaching you to control each of the phases that you've unlocked so far. But that'll take awhile…" Cathy said to her nephew.

Gumball rubbed his chin and thought it over for a moment.

"How long is it when you say 'awhile'?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well that depends, really. Are you a fast learner?" she asked.

"Meh. I'm intermediate at best" Gumball said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I wouldn't say I'm a genius. Not exactly the best student in school"

"That's fine. I think what we should work on first is tiger eyes" Cathy suggested.

"Why those?" Gumball asked.

"It was the first phase you went through, it only makes sense. That, and the sooner you gain control of this phase, the sooner you can move on to the other phases" she told him.

"Just how many phases are there, exactly?" Gumball asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Uh… I'll tell you once you've gained control of the first phase" Cathy told her nephew. Gumball narrowed his eyes at her in a glare. "Don't give me that look, I know what I'm doing" she said.

"So how do I control the tiger eyes?" Gumball asked.

"Well, the first phase actually requires very little effort. All you have to do really is close your eyes for a few moments, focus a small portion of your energy into your eyes, open them again, and then BAM! Tiger eyes" Cathy told him.

"If you say so…" Gumball said with a half sure look. He then did as his aunt said and closed his eyes, breathing in and out through his nose. He would then focus a small portion of his energy into his eyes. Gumball slowly opened his eyes. "Did I do it?" he asked his aunt.

"Uh… sort of" Cathy took out her phone and held it up so that Gumball could see his reflection. Turns out he was only able to get his right eye to change. Gumball's ears lowered in disappointment while his eye changed back to normal. "Aw, it's ok, sweetie. You did better than I expected"

"Really?" he asked, perking up a bit.

"Yeah, I honestly thought you were only going to be able to change the eye color or pupil shape. Not bad" Cathy said with a proud smile, playfully hitting Gumball in the arm. Gumball chuckled, smiling as well.

"So what now?" he asked.

"Is your stomach still full?" Cathy asked.

"Yeah" Gumball replied.

"Well then getting lunch is out for now" she said under her breath. "Wanna got to the movies?"

"Sure, I could use some entertainment" Gumball replied with a shrug.

-Elmore movie theater-

Cathy and Gumball were at the movie theater. They were up at the ticket booth, deciding on what movie to watch.

"I can't decide. Why don't you pick?" Gumball said to his aunt.

Cathy looked up at the choices of movies they had. The varieties ranged from animated to horror, from romantic comedy to action-adventure. The titles didn't seem all that great though. One of them sounded pleasing though.

"How about that one" Cathy point to the one in the center that looked like a horror flick

"Whoa! That looks… awesome!" Gumball's eyes light up with delight. "Let's go see it!" he said excitedly.

"Ok then. Two tickets to Friday the 13th: Jason's revenge" Cathy said to the ticket person (who was obviously Larry).

"Ma'am, I must warn you that this movie is rated R and that some scenes might be too graphic for anyone under 18" Larry told her.

"You can handle it, can't you, Gumball?" Cathy looked down at her nephew with a smirk.

"Sure I can" he replied with a confident smile.

[An hour and a half later]

"That… was… AWESOME!" Gumball shouted, raising fists in the air as he and Cathy exited the movie theater.

"I thought you'd enjoy it. Remember that part where he killed that cheerleader by cutting her open with his machete and tearing out her organs?" Cathy said, reminiscing one of the moments of the movie. It had been the a prequel in the franchise, and it was actually really good.

"Or the part where he killed that guy by bashing his skull in with a hammer after slitting his throat?" Gumball told another part of the movie that happened. "So much blood…"

Gumball began licking his lips in delight. He let out a low growl under his breath as he thought of all that blood that was in the movie he had recently saw a minute ago. It was almost enough to make him hunt down some prey. Fortunately, Cathy took notice of this and reacted as soon as she could.

"Gumball, don't even think about it, it was just a movie" Cathy said as she rubbed the top of the little cat's head. She then began scratching him under his chin, which made the little guy purr in delight.

"Mmm. That feels nice…" Gumball thought to himself with joy. He looked up at his aunt with a smile.

"Ready to go back to practice?" Cathy asked. Gumball nodded in confirmation.

-Later in the Backyard-

"Alright little one, do you think you can pull the tiger eyes off now?" Cathy asked as the two of them stood beside each other.

"Oh god, I hope so…" Gumball's ears flattened with doubt. It wasn't like he was going to get a hold of this in a matter of seconds. He had just learned about this whole tiger spirit thing today. Nonetheless, he was still going to try.

He closed his eyes and concentrated. He focused his energy into both of his eyes. He felt as if he was getting close. It was as Cathy said: this phase took very little effort to control. He then opened his eyes and looked at his aunt.

"Excellent. You actually managed to pull it off" Cathy took out her phone and showed him his reflection. The young got a look at his eyes from different angles. He had managed to, not only change the eye color, but the pupil shape as well. Not only that, but he managed to do it for both eyes.

"Woah, I look badass with these eyes!" Gumball said with confidence and astonishment.

"Yes, badass and fierce. But this was just child's play. Don't think that the other phases will be as easy as this one" Cathy told him with a serious look.

"I understand, Aunt Cathy" Gumball said with a nod. "So, how do turn these off?"

"Close your eyes again and calmly exhale" she said while placing her hands on her hips. Gumball did as she requested. Doing this action returned his eyes to normal.

"So what's the next phase?" he asked with an eyebrow, but also having a hint of slight excitement in his voice.

"That's enough training for today, Gumball sweetie" she said.

"Cool. So what are the benefits of the tiger eyes?" he asked.

"Well, as a cat you already have good night vision. The tiger eyes enhance that ability even further so you can see even clearer at night" Cathy explained. "Come on, let's go in and watch TV"

Gumball followed his aunt inside the house where the two of them would go watch a few of their favorite shows and cartoons.

There's Chapter 6. I know some parts were a bit rushed, but I just wanted to get this chapter out. See you all in chapter 7.
