Follow The Inky Road
~Watterson Residences 6:30 A.M.
(When last left our blue feline he cowardly ran away from a monster that looked just like him. After that he wandered around until-
"WIll You Shut Up Already. You Been Taking For Six Hours Straight. Just Let Me Have My Own Thoughts For Once." Gumball Shouted at me the Narrator who was taking to were he is going. The blue furball then arrives at a familiar place his house.
"What The What? How did I get back here?" He gets confused as he went back in circles.
(Just to inform you Gumball. The Witch isn't in the house right so it's somewhat safe to go in there to get some information.)
"What do you mean "somewhat" safe"? Gumball then gets more annoyed at the Narrator.
"What am I going to use incase something bad happens?" Then an Axe falls out of the sky landing near Gumball who looks up into the sky.
(It's Dangerous To Go Alone Take This) then picks up the axe but has a little difficulty getting it off the ground. But eventually he pulls it out but get hit in the face with the axe.
"Ugh I might as well get this over with". He then again goes into the his "home". While inside he sees the house is in ruins shattered glass everywhere, the couch was torn to pieces and the kitchen has been barricaded. As he cautiously moves around the house and to the stairs. Gumball notices a broken picture frame. He picks it up the frame and when he gets up the stairs he looks down at the frame. He sees five people in the frame that appears that they are a family.
The images of the family has two females and three males. There positioned looks as if they were happy with the daughter of the who family looks likes Anais but she looks like an eight year old is on top of her brother who was wearing a orange hoodie and laughing. Gumball recognized this boy to be Darwin as he looked different from the others.
When he sees a woman hugging her husband with them laughing in the picture he sees that they are his parents Nicole and notices a red x across the woman on it with the words "WHY" next to the woman. This confuses Gumball as to why that's there and then he turns is eyes to the bottom left the image of the boy but its scratched off to the point that you can't see the image of him.
"Just want happened to these people?" Just as he saids this. Gumball hears a noise that's coming from inside his room. As Gumball enters the room he sees a tape recorder on his bed with the words Doctor on it he plays it and hears the voice of his mother on it.
Doctor
"Uh so this is what rock bottom feels I lose my job,after that the divorce and then who to choose custody over the kids. I'm still wondering if he hates me for making him leave his siblings behind after we moved away.
He still hasn't been talking to me or anyone else after the maybe with this new job as security of this studio I'm sure this will help both of us for now.
I still don't trust this Ben Bocqulet guy as he keeps looking at my son as if he wants something from_ and if he so much as touches my boy I will send him to the morgue".
The recording stops and Gumball looks a mix of pity and shock. As he was shocked that the Wattersons of this world are separated. But he also heard the name of this Ben again. He knew about him from Penelope's story but still doesn't know what happened to him after the Inkquestion started or how the Wattersons were turned into these monsters.
As he was lost in thought another voice is heard from the computer that turns on then the image reveals Ink Anais aka the Witch on the screen she starts to laugh gleefully like a psychopathic loon.
"Anais?" As he calls her name The Witch just glares at him then has a confused face.
" Huh how long has it been since someone called me that? Five weeks? Four months? Doesn't matter. Now you and I can "play" with my "friends" little kitty. I've already send one of them after you before you came "home". You going to have fun with this guy cause when he's ends you your going to be the one who's TOAST! SEVERS YOU RIGHT FOR HER PICKING YOU OVER MEEEE!" As she screams her resentment at him the screen turns off.
The blue cat hears something pounding his feet. He looks down and sees its Anton the toast. Gumball then picks up the piece of toast and bites his face off.
"Well that was kinda off anti cal-" He gets punched in bythe face by another piece of toast but this time this one has six pieces of toast fused together and the middle one has a face of a human on it. This of course freaks Gumball out. Then piece of mutated toast then runs out of the room and down the stairs. With the blue cat now angry brings the axe with him and chases the toast into the kitchen. Which is barricaded the blue kitten furiously swings the axe and destroys the wall and enters the kitchen.
"You know Anton your making this really easy for me. Cause you just trapped yourself with me". He said confidentiality to the mutated toast. But the toast just smirked at him. As he spoke Anton sounded like a voice of legion.
" You have that wrong "Gumball". It is you that is cornered." As multiple pieces of toast appear in the kitchen surrounding the blue cat. Gumball just looks confused as last time an army of Anton clones showed up they could barely put up a fight even as a group.
"Seriously I can handle a bunch of pieces of a breakfast meal. This could barely count as a fight." He saids this with his axe on his hand.
"Alone we are no match...But together" As the ink Anton said this all of the Anton clones start to come to him. They all mashed together with him to form a more humanoid being. The creature look more like Anton's human form. Wore shoes,pants,a T-shirt, and had hair that look like a piece of bread. The blue cat was suprised that the pieces of bread just merged into a humanoid made of bread.
".WE..ARE...THE...SWARM."He saids this as a piece of his face peeled off revealing multiple pieces of toast inside of him.
INK ANTON AKA THE SWARM
"You have got to be kidding me?" Then The swarm tries to punch kitten dodges the attack. As he ran to the door he tries to open it but finds out it's locked.
"Oh come on" Then The swarm grabs him by the leg and swings him and slams Gumball to the ground then on the refrigerator and throws him to the the kitchen sink.
"You cannot hope to beat us feline. For we are the swarm. We are many. We are are-".Then Gumball just thought of something.
"Wait your made of toast right?" He ask the swarm.
"Ugh yes." The swarm answered him
"What happens when bread is hit with water?"
"Well it just get all soggy and the dissolves in water why do you...Uh Oh." The swarm realizes what going to happen next.
"Oh okay". Gumball sprays the Anton monster with the hose on the sink before it could attack him. This makes the monster staring to dissolve as pieces of bread star to come out of him. Gumball then get off the sink. Grabs him axe then starts chopping the swarm into pieces while it's screaming. Until only the ink Anton with the human face on it's upper left head was left. As Gumball was about to swing his axe at the remaining Anton.
"You may have defeated me Watterson. But I'm only a diversion. NOW MACHINATOR he shouted then a disordered scream is heard from outside his home. A boy who has a robot head,pipes and a wheel on his back, a mechanical arm,a robot leg, the least of him had a human appearance and it's face had just one eye but it was empty with only flashing like a rolling camera.
The robotic creature raise it mechanical arm and it turned into an arm cannon with five missiles fired out of it as it starts to destroy the Wattersons home. The house started crumble with pieces falling off of it. The toast laugh as if he will take Gumball down with him. While the blue cat panicked he then thought of something then he grabs the laughing Anton. While outside The MACHINATOR fire a massive laser out of it's eye aiming at the Watterson Residences. Then the home goes on fire then explodes. With nothing left with only ruins remain of the former home of the Wattersons robotic ink monster turns it's right leg into a rocket engine and flys off to the distance.
~Flashback Cafeteria before the Inkquestion
A girl who has short black hair,wearing a white t-shirt,black tie,black skirt,and black shoes. Is seen dragging a boy with short dark brown hair,a tan sweater, blue shirt under his sweater, gray pants and blue shoes but his face was hidden.
"So why did you drag me out of the cafeteria Masami". The annoyed boy asked her.
"I kinda need your help with something". She said sheepishly
"With what"?
"I need you to be my boyfriend for a few days". Masami ask him this strange request to the boy. This shocked the boy to scream.
"WHAT THE WHAT? There is no way I doing that." Then Masami got mad and told him what's really going on.
"Look I told my parents that I had a boyfriend because they were going to arrange marriage for me when I got older. I didn't want to do that so I got desperate and lied to them". She saying this honestly to him.
"Then why didn't you get Leslie to do this?"
"He's gay _" She told him but oddly his name was blurred out.
"You could've picked any other guy why me?" She them list them to the boy why didn't pick them.
"Alan and Darwin are already dating and I doubt Carrie or Carmen would want me to borrow them. I think there still mad of what happened last time."
"Anton is too much of a whip, Hector would've been mistaken for an adult,Idaho a hillbilly, Clayton's exaggerate everything, Colin and Felix are too hideous, Ocho can't control his temper, Bert is a smartass, Juke and William can't hold a conversation,Joe takes everything as a joke and Rob's too generic". The boy notices she left out a certain boy.
"What about Tobias?" She gives him a disgusted look.
"No". She decided to ask him about a certain thing.
"So how are you and Penelope doing". Asking about his relationship with her friend.
"We broke up". He said this bitterly to her.
"Perfect" Masami gleefully saying this but this only angered the boy.
"Well I'm still not doing it. You could handle your mistakes yourself". As he's about to leave but Masami stops him.
"What if I told you that I get your mom her old job back". He turns his head looking at the girl.
"What did say"?
"Well I could convince my father who is in charge of the Rainbow give your mother her old job back." She tempts the boy. Which he felt responsible for his mother losing it in the first place. He did felt suspicious of this as to think she would backstab him if he wasn't careful.
"So what do you want in return"?. He asked the manipulative girl.
"Nothing I just need you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a few days and after that I will help you. So we got a deal _y". With her hand extentends as to shake the boys hand. The preteen signs and then come to her then shake her hand. He just glares at her with her just smugly smiling at him.
"After this were never speaking to each other again".
"Fine by me _y"
"Don't call me that."
"Whatever but at least you wouldn't be your mopy self for now". She laughs with the annoyed boy next to her.
~Streets of Elmore 7:43 a.m
Masami was confused about of a memory of a certain boy but couldn't remember his face or name. But he was important to her. While she lost in thought Joe tries to get her attention by shaking her.
"Masami will you get your head out of the clouds". This gets her out of her thoughts.
"What?" See then looks at Joe. He then points up in the air which smoke coming from the distance and sees an ink cyborg monster flying away from somewhere. Then he looks at Masami worried.
"You don't think he-".
"Let's just hurry." As two started to ran to were the smoke came from. She did know that this wouldn't have killed the feline so easily. While they ran for a bit until a bus comes out of nowhere almost crashing into the duo which Masami nearly scared to death and Joe almost fainted. The door of the bus opened to reveal a girl wearing goggles over her eyes, Her hair was in a bun,wear a sleeveless shirt and long pants. The strange thing about her is that she has cactus on where her ears should be,her forearm and her turns to see the two. Removes the goggles to reveal her green eyes.
"So you two need a lift"? She asked them with a bright smile on her face. As the two enter the bus they screamed at her.
"YOU COULD'VE RAN US OVER CARMEN". Masami yelling at Carmen's carelessness.
"I NEARLY CRAP MYSELF". Joe scared out of his life. She ignores there complains at her driving skills.
"Well when you guys are done criticizing me. I was ordered by Rob to get you two to the Wattersons Home but looks like we're going to have to go where this Gumball is going." She closes the doors behind them, then starts the engine to drives it to the road.
As she sat down on the bus. Masami started to think about the boy who was in her memories while trying to figure out what his name was.
~Witch's Domain
The Ink Anais aka the Witch is laughing gleefully while playing with a stuffed donkey while The Beast and The Snake are sitting looking at her. The Ink Bobert flies down and lands next to the trio.
"So is it done." The witch ask the robot. Which just nods at her. It makes the women child laugh with excitement.
"What's done" The Beast questions the rabbit women.
"The Machinator has slain the blue kitty." This shocks the snake as this is not what they were told to beast looks calm then stands up with her arms crossed.
"Anais what were the orders The Creator told us to do with The Kitty". The Witch stops laughing turns to her.
"Umm he said we could kill the Insurgence if they interfered with our plans".
"And what was the other order he gave us? You know that very important one? For his goal"? Sounding alot more mad but still calm.
"Ca..pture ..the...Kitty?" Anais started to get nervous. The Beast starts to walk to her.
"Very good now tell me why did you think it was a good idea to send the robot and the toast to kill him?" As she got to where the witch was. The rabbit started to tremble as the blue feline was next to her.
" He...was... your...favo...rite..."? She sheepishly replied to the older blue cat. Causing the beast to smile for a second then punches the witch in face. The causes the rabbit to scream in agony while she covering her face. Ink Nicole starts to kicking her in the gut repeatedly. While shouting at her.
"YOU _KING IDIOT. DO YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR PETTY ONE SIDED SIBLING RIVALRY WITH SOME FELINE ALMOST COST US OUR ENTIRE PLAN. DO YOU REALIZED WHAT HE GOING TO DO TO US IF WE DON'T BRING HIM BACK ALIVE." She starts to strangle the rabbit girl. The witch starts crying for her to stop. Until the ink Darwin speaks to the beast which makes her stop what she's doing and looks at him.
"There is a very good chance he survived. He is his favorite after all." The Snake informs the beast of Gumball's possible survival. This causes the ink feline to let go of the pink rabbit as sees drops to the ground. As she tries to breathe the beast looks down and glares at her.
"Make sure you bring him to use alive this time.". The feline orders her which then she nods. Then the snake stands up and walks away.
"We need to get back to our domains Ms. Mom. We can have this Pest deal with is no need for you to waste your strength on this vermin". He told her this and she follows him. She turns her head with the human face on it to the trembling Rabbit.
"Also if you fail I'm going rip your legs off and use them as a good luck charm." She then leaves the dump. With the two gone the witch starts to whimpering then lays down and starts crying.
"It's not...fair...why do did you bring him? It's because he reminds you of yourself. You narcissistic egomaniac brute... I hate you."She continues crying.
~Destroyed Watterson Residences
Popping out of the rumble is Gumball who manages to survive Ink Bobert's attack by hiding in the basement. He grabs Ink Anton and demands answers.
"You can't make me tell you were the Witch is".
"Suit yourself". Gumball then opens his mouth and brings the toast closer to his mouth as to eat. This causes the toast to scream.
"Okay okay I'll tell you. Just don't eat me." Ink Anton now Begging for his life. Gumball still has him in his hands.
"Fine I wont eat you. So tell me where can I find Anais?"
"She's at the garbage dump. The one with the incinerator."
The blue cat knows where that his and he brings the axe and the rotten toast with him. He sees a trail made of ink so he follows it to the Witches Lair.
Then a large bus shows up terrified Gumball starts running from it. Not knowing it's actually Carmen, Joe and Masami inside it.
