Chapter 6
Highway To Hell
~On The Bus
The blue kitten is still in shock of what Masumi just told him, plus he remembered what Penelope said about her break-up with her ex as she didn't looked happy when she said it. He put two and two together and figured out that it's his other self there talking about.
While he's like this someone taps him on the head trying to get his times cause he's was still in a the blue kitten looks up and sees the raven haired girl looking at him confused.
"So you kinda doze off after I told you about what I said to you before we got on the bus,Is there something wrong?.
"I'm just having trouble of trying to process all this". Putting his hands on his head and rubbing it."
"What about her imagery boyfriend cause she's been on cloud nine everytime she talks about him." Joey
"Will You Shut Up Of Course He's Real. It Could Explain Why I Keep Having These Memories." This got Gumballs attention he then asked her what she was talking about.
"Wait when did these start to surface"?
"I think it started after The Demon ran away from me and Penelope. He just looked so upset when he saw me." Thinking about the creature that looks like the blue cat next to her. She knew that he could've just killed her and Pen at that moment rather then run away from them. She also thought of how she Carmella and Joe survived the crash and somehow made it out of the building without any major damage.
While she ponders on this Gumball walks from his seat then goes to the front of the and asks Carmella who's driving the bus to there destination.
"Hey Carmella is it?" Still unsure if she is the same Carmen he knows.
"Yes Fluffy" she said cheerfully while not looking at him. He's annoyed at what she called him still remembering what she did to him earlier. Gumball still has the needles after her cactus hug.
"Do you remembered your life before all this"? -Gumball asking the human/cactus.
"Well of course I do, I have a boyfriend, I was the leader of the cheerleaders at my school, I helped my parents with the car then I got into machinery. I loved doing it so much that I wanted to be a Mechanic after I get out of college." She was in a happy mood until she started to remembered a certain face became a mix of annoyed and frustrated.
"But there was this one kid who didn't like Allen. But oddly enough I don't remember his name or face." Gumball then had a confused look on his face. Thinking she's talking about the other him.
"All I can remember is that we used to be close when we were younger, but ever since I started dating Allen, he just kept ignoring me and continued to be mean to Allen .Honestly I have no idea why he keeps doing that and Allen still wants is to be his friend but he's just keeps being a dick to him."
The cautas girl signs then turns her eyes to see Gumball. With a somber look on her face.
"All I want is for him to get along with Allen and we can be friends again. But oddly that's only thing I remember about him". Hearing this conversation Antonio then remembered something. This gets the others now looking at Antonio.
"Now that you guys mention it. I kinda remember being on the bus before all this happened. All we were all in shocked about Masumi came to the bus one morning with someone." When the toast boy questions this he looks up in the air thinking of what happened that day.
~Flashback On The Bus
Following yesterday Masumi and _ got on the bus together as the two were going to there separated seats. They don't notice everyone's reaction of them together except for Sussie who was looking out the window. As Masami sat down with now an frustrated look on her face after what happened last night. She now has to deal with _ being her boyfriend for three months.
"Hey Masami". When she looked up she saw a Hispanic girl with short red hair, her eyes were green, wore a pine green shorts,a sleeveless lime green skrit with a cactus on it and wore a light green jacket.
"What do you want Carmella?"
"Can you tell me why _ showed up with you on the bus today?" Masumi looked at her with
"I brought him to my house last night to meet my parents and now were dating". Sounding irritated after saying that last word.
Carmella on the other hand had her jaw dropped of what she just said to her. She's surprised that _ is dating again after his breakup with Penelope. But she thought it was too soon because it had only been three days since then and was unsure how Penelope would feel about it.
"WHAT YOU GUY'S DATING." She screams this but Masami tried to cover the hispanics mouths but everyone heard of what she just said.
Everyone was just shocked with there jaws drop of what Carmella just said out loud they all then turned there heads to the boy near the end of the bus who just cover on his face in shame. Masumi just had her hand on her face hiding her embarrassment.
~Flashback a few minutes earlier
He just walking towards the back of the bus while seeing some of the faces of his where angry glares while others ignored him. Except for Allen who waved at him with a smile on his face,which annoyed _ and Sussie wasn't paying attention at all.
He saw a glance at his former girlfriend who was glaring at him. She wore a yellow hoodie, orange shorts, had blonde hair with some red on it, orange shoes and socks. She had her hair in small pigtails with a red band on.
The angry Greek/Muslim girl was named Penelope but her friends called her Penny. She was still mad at him for there breakup three days ago including the incident at the mall and doesn't want to talk to him. While the were others who were looking at him.
Then goes to the end of the bus where his former brother and his girlfriend are sitting. The emo girl saw _ sitting next to them,she turns her head to look at the depressed boy.
She wore a white sleeveless shirt with black gloves less arms, gray skirt, black knee socks with black shoes. Her hair is black but with silver hair dye, the eyes were blue and her skin was very pale as a ghost with black eyeliner over her eyes but her bangs cover one of them. Her name is Caroline but prefers to be called Carrie.
(I looked it up Carrie is a nickname for Caroline).
Her boyfriend had brown hair, he was of Egyptian desendent with green eyes, his hoodie was orange with a light orange shirt under it, yellow green shorts with his shoes are the same color. This boy is _ adopted brother but even since then. The two haven't hanged out with each other. He also had an apathetic look on his face when he saw his brother. But went back to do what he was doing.
"So what happened with you and Masumi last night" Carloine wondering why Masumi of all people was with him near her house.
"Well she just wanted me to hang out with her... having dinner with her folk's and nothing else happened." _ trying not to sound sheepish about why he was at Masumi's home.
Now having a suspicious look on her face at _ just said and Darwin with an indifferent look of what his brother just said. Until she heard what Carmen just said out loud about the two. Everyone jaws drop with them turning there heads at the boy in the back.
~Now(Flashback)
"WHAT"
Penelope screamed after hearing this. She punched the glass window so hard it breaks causes her hand to bleed a bit with her cousin a bit terrified of what she did. While a boy in a yellow shirt and brown hair joked about it next to a jealous red head wearing a rainbow shirt.
"You have got to be kitten me? Are you fur real guys? Didn't except _ to blow her away huh Tobi".He pat's his hand on Tobi shoulder repeatedly while laughing at his own jokes the red head just stood there shocked.
Carloine then looks at the now nervous sweater boy with now a demanding look of her face wanting to know what really happened last night. He could only cover his face in shame.
"Look Carrie I can explain?"
"No I want to hear it from you and your "girlfriend" .You to are going to tell me everything that happened last night and I mean everything." Now glaring at him.
While this is happening a boy with a tan pants,brown hair,tan skin and orange shirt. Who saw what's going on. He was sitting next to his girlfriend not by choice but she was one of the school bullies. Not the brunette with green coat,the one who had her bangs over her eyes with the shorter temper.
"Man he really never stops getting into these situations. No matter how many times. _ just never learns huh babe-(gets punched in the arm")Ow".
"Cram it McCormick". The short red head ordering Anton.
"Yes Jamie". He touches his sore feeling the pain she gave him. As he looked out the window he sees a car hooking it's horn telling them to move it.
~Expressway
Back into now Antonio hears a horn coming behind the bus. He looks out the window and sees a van coming towards them. He then alerts the others who were still talking. They stop what there doing and turn to the toast boy pointing out the window.
"Uh guy's we got company behind us." As he said this the bus gets rammed by a vehicle that was behind the bus so hard it got four of them off there seats then fell to the ground. Joe then sees the vehicle behind them. He sees an ink monster driving the pest controller vehicle.
This one had an appearance of man mix with a cockroach. He had four limbs of the insect with two human hands holding on the wheel, his torso and lower body was that of a man except for the back had wings of a roach, his head had antennas with his forehead had roach like eyes the bottom was his human face of a middle age man along with pincers like a roach around his face. He was holding a tranquilizer gun around his body.
"Looks like she hired to the Exterminator". Joey saying this but three more trucks come behind the roach's van.
"And he brought some friends". Gumball worried about more increasing numbers.
The Exterminator
The roach using a CB radio to communicate with the truckers behind them.
"Alright boys we have a 10-60 so let's take this vehicle down and capture the blue feline, as for the criminals inside. The Witch clearly told us to kill them and not the feline. I'll say it again do not kill the cat inside the bus.
"Roger" The drivers said to the Exterminator. Then they tuned out.
"That bounty is good as mine". He said with a wicked glee. He starts firing pistols from his can as the other trucks are ganging up the Insurgence Bus.
One of the truck drivers move up to the face of the bus to Carmella who is driving it. He opens his window then holds a megaphone.
"Pull over your vehicle and hand over the feline." As he continues to speak not seeing what's she's doing. Carmen rolls her eyes while still looking at the road she pulls out her gun."You're deaths will be quick if you com-"
A gunshot is heard and blows the megaphone,the right hand also half his face off the driver causing him pain. As he tried to take control of the truck with his remaining hand but to no avail as he loses control and falls off the road, causing him to crash then an explosion to happen.
"Not happening". Carmella then puts her gun back into her pocket. Then puts her goggles on her eyes then presses a button on the bus. Then bus then turns revealing machine guns around the sides and the top of the bus.
Gumball is just astounded of what he's just seeing. As the others go to the stations to where the machine guns where on the bus. They start firing at the upcoming trucks as there doing this.
One of the truck drivers tries to get out of there truck. By getting on top of his vehicle then jump off of it and then to the bus. But he wasn't close to it but fell into the middle of the road. This gets him run over by the ink roaches van.
The remaining truck driver then tries to ram them to the side of the freeway. Angry over the lost of the other two drivers. The trio then continuing firing on the wheels of the truck.
This causes the rubber to be destroyed on the left side of the truck. Causing it to fall down in the side of the road causing it to explode. As the exterminator puts one of his hands to his face as he saw the stupidity of truck drivers who didn't even bother to bring weapons.
"Ugh if you want something to be done right you have to do it yourself." He then puts his van on auto pilot, Grabs his weapons then opens the door of the van. He then flies to the bus. As they destroys his van pissing him off.
They noticed he's still alive they continue firing on the roach but he dodges all the bullets using his wings. The ink monster lands on top of it. Anton tries to attack him but is quickly taken down. As the monster slaps him with his rifle sending him off the bus and into the road.
"Anton". Gumball worried that his friend fell off the bus.
"Don't worry about him Gumball. Anton's a breadwinner. He will be just fine". Joey saying this to the cat.
"WILL YOU STOP WITH THE PUNS ALREADY. NOWS NOT THE TIME FOR IT". The cloud girl angry at him for telling a joke in the middle of the fight. As the roach manages to make a hole in the roof of the bus trying to grab Gumball.
But gets his arms chopped off my Masumi's blade causing him to bleed ink out of his arms. Now very furious he then cocks his gun then starts firing at them hopping to knock them out. But Gumball dodges most of them but one hits his arm making it numb.
Joey gets hit in the legs causing him to fall.
"Man I can't stand this guy".As he tried to crawl.
Masumi continued to dodges them and manges to cut them all in half. She tries to stab him through the bus but only manages to stab his feet causing him pain.
"That's it I had enough of these brats getting in my way". He then gets in the bus grabs Masumi with both hands as he tries to strangle from behind attacks him repeatedly with an Axe in his back causing him pain
Carmella still on the drivers seats and fires her gun at the roaches kneecaps. He feels the pain and starts losing his grip on Masumi long enough for her to slice off his left arms.
"Ugh you damn brats. You are not getting in my way of MY REWARD FOR ALL YOUR HEADS". He grabs his gun about to fire at the girls but Joey then uses his mouth to swing his hammer at the back of the roaches head. Causing it to hit the ground with a splat.
"Well your mouth is good for something after all" Masumi saying this.
"(Still with the hammer in his mouth) DON'T JUST STAND THERE FINISH HIM OFF. HE CAN LIVE WITHOUT A HEAD REMEMBER". He screams at them. The ink roach tries to stand with it's remaining limbs.
But as she was told Masumi slices the roach with her blade six times horizontal and verticality until The Exterminator was in pieces. His remains start to fade. With is last thoughts on his mind.
"Damn...it...i..was...so..close...to...the.. bounty".
Carmella then idmediently came back to the driver's seat before it was off the road. With the remaining four on the bus. Masumi drawed her sword back to its handle.
"How are handling Joey". A bit concerned over the banana boy.
Joey then crawled to a seat with him using his hammer to get there. As he got to his seat.
"My legs may be numb but I can still do the drums". He chucks but groans in pain.
"So you're fine then." Still annoyed at him making a joke.
Gumball then walked to the Cloud girl concerned about her.
"So are you okay cause I thought that guy was going to kill you."?
She bend down pat's his head while scratches behind his ears like a cat. Causing the blue cat to purr a bit.
"I'll be fine but thanks anyway Gumball". He smiled at her with a sigh of relief that she's okay.
She look at the blue cat and she was reminded of someone she knew with a goofy smile like his. This made her feel warm inside but she didn't knew why.
"You know we really have a big issue here guys". Carmella worrying about the situation.
"I know we contact the others. Before we arrive at her lair." Masumi.
"THAT AND THE FIGHT WITH THAT STUPID BUG DAMAGED MY PRECIOUS BABY". Almost on the verge of tears over the damage bus. This causes the cloud girl to roll her eyes over Carmella's obsession over the vehicle.
While there driving away. Antonio was following them on foot he continues running trying to catch up to the bus. He started to be almost out of breath soon as he ran
"Why can't they stop and wait for me to catch up. I not use to running for this long". Saying in his thoughts.
~Lair Of The Witch
"GAAAAHHHH!" The Witch screaming over the failure of her bounty hunter didn't kill them. She threw her furniture to the way causing it to break. After that she kicked and screamed on the floor throwing a tantrum.
"IT'S NOT FAIR. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING THAT IMPOSTER TO ME!" Still angry she throws a stuff animal at ink Bobert who was silent.
"How am I supposed to give them the kitty. Mommas gotta beat me again if I fail." She holds her ears in fear of The Beast. She looks at the robot who was standing there.
"What's worse then that brother is going to be disappointed and feed me to Papa." She shakes him fear over the gluttonous behemoth.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT TINCAN". She throws multiple stuff animals at the robot.
But then Artemis calms down for a second then she looks at the robot.
"Fine if they want to come to my domain to play they can. But let's see how they'll handle all of my frrriendssss."
The robot looks at her with a nod. She looks at him points to him.
"When those fools arrive. You have my permission to terminate them all except for the furball. After you kill them bring the Kitty to ME OR I'LL TURN YOU INTO SCRAP METAL". She threaten the emotionless machine. The robot looks at her with a nod then leves the dungeon
"Heh heh heh I'LL FINALLY HAVE MORE "FRIENDS" TO PLAY WITH." Shouting with glee for potential victims.
"Do you ever shut up". A female voice is heard. When The Witch heard with her long ears. Seeing a teenager in a cage. Covered in bruises all over her body. She wore a coat with long sleeves and had sprinkles on it, a shirt under it, black leggings and boots. Her hair covered her eye with had a black eye on it.
"What you want you DIRTY BROTHER STEALER"! She screams at the gloomy teen.
"I have no idea what your talking about you walking Frankenstein reject". This cause Artemis to throw a piece of wood at the caged teen. Who only had a cold glare on her face at the immature rabbit.
"DON'T LIE TO ME! YOU STOLE MY NI SAN." She screams at her. Then breathes slowly. She looks down the floor whimpering. There is tears coming out of her eyes. The tears dissolves the floor when they hit it.
"(Whimpering) First mommy leaves daddy,then she took my Nii San from me, then my other brother ignores me for that emo slut, then the brother who left... REPLACE ME WITH YOU". The Witch screaming that last part at the teen.
She did had a look of pity for the rabbit but her face turned mad and spit her tongue at her.
"It's not fault your family fell apart. But I do feel a little bad for what happened to you. But this does not justify any of your actions. You could've reached out to your brother at any time you decided to continue to feel sorry for yourself." The rabbit glares at her. Then throws a stuff toy at her cage staring to shake it.
"QUIET! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO NOT TO HAVE A FAMILY ANYMORE". Saying this with tears in her eyes. The witch leaves the teen to she planning to kill her after torturing the kitty.
Clare then sits with her knees pulled to her chest with her arms wrapped around her had a very sad look on her face with some tears about to come out.
"Your wrong kid I know that feeling all to well".
