Chapter 9
Storm The Castle
~Flashback During the Inkquestion
The town was in chaos. The buildings were being destoryed by fires,tornados, hurricanes,floods,hail earthquakes and thunder. The cause was form the monsters mix with ink that are attacking the townsfolk. Some of them started to turn into monsters after they were killed by the Ink Wattersons.
A teenage girl with a pink coat and dyed green hair holding an axe is seen running for her life as The Demon is chasing her intended to kill her.
"My name is Clare and today is the worst day of my life. I say that alot but this time it actually is. The town is being attacked by these monsters,my friends were killed by a two giant rabbits. One was some zombie ragdoll who was glaring at me and the other was fat blob with antlers and a tail with a mouth in it. I manage to escape them but now this cat monster thing is chasing me and I have no idea where my Dad or Step Mom are."
Clare was still running with the demon getting closer. Clare then trip on a rock causing her to fall. The demon then jumps on top of the girl, as he was about to bite her head off. Clare grabs the axe and places it on the Demon's mouth like a muzzle.
Still angry the ink monster then uses it hands places them around her neck and start to strangle the terrified teenager. The demons eye is seen with an intent to kill her. Clare is still holding the axe for dear life as the monster is growling at her.
"Don't..do...this..." Clare while suffocating with tears in her eyes is begging the creature to spare her.
"Listen you don't have to be the monster everyone thinks you are. You know that deep inside,you really don't want to hurt anyone. So please if you have some humanity left in you stop this..." Clare saying this with tears in her eyes.
Then some drops of ink were dripping on her face. As the monsters grip was getting loss. She then looks at the demon as his was still hidden from the readers but he was clearly crying. The monster let's go of her. As the demon stood up with Clare crawling back away from him still terrified of it.
She was suprised of what she saw that the demon looked more like a frightened person then a monster. With it looking at his hands in horror then looks at the girl who had her hand on her throat still scared of him. The Demon then ran away from the teen. Clare gets up from the ground still confused of what just happened.
~ Dungeon
"So wait he ran away from you"? Gumball questioning "Clare" after she told him her story about how she encountered the monster that looks like him.
With her arms crossed and not looking at him with a concerned expression.
"Yes. It was as if he was just as scared as I was". Clare looks at the bars of the cell then sees.
Gumball after hearing this still unsure why his lookalike ran away in fear. But then ask a question to the teen.
"So Clare how did you end up here anyway"?
"That demented rabbit captured me while screaming of not getting her kitty, locked me in this cage and then kept using me as a punching bag ever since."
Hearing this he recognized what she meant by kitty.
(Uneasy) Oh sorry about that". Clare is looking at the lock.
"Whatever furball. Also if you want to be helpful you can unlock this door so we can get out."
(Confused) "What do you mean"?
(Irritated) "Use your claws to unlock this door".
"Why do you think I can do that"?
"Well I think that you might have forgotten the one huge this about you is".
"What's that". Still confused.
(Furious)" YOU'RE A TALKING CAT. JUST USEY YOUR CLAWS TO OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR"! She shouted at the feline as he was on the floor in fear.
Then did as he was told he goes to the door of the cage. Then pops his finger nail out of his finger and starts to get to work on unlocking the door. Having some trouble with the lock as her never did this before.
"Just to honest with you. I don't think this will work as I never did this before and-" Then a sound is heard and the lock falls down to the floor of the cage. Then the door of the cage opens. Much to the felines suprised.
Then the teen then grabs Gumball before he could react and the two leave the cage and out the door of the dungeon. The duo manges to get through the halls and made it up the stairs. Just when they thought were in the clear.
A whip is heard destorying the knob of the door they turned around and see Warden of the dungeon.
"You too are not going anywhere". The voice saying this until he comes out of the shadows.
His appearance was that of a forty years old man,the top part of his face was that of a frog,his arms were lean including his legs,plus his were that of a frog yellow dress shirt, khaki pants, brown shoes with a some armor on his shoulders and kneecaps but not his torso with a rabbit symbol on them. This was Clare's homeroom teacher Mr Corneille.
Clare looking in confusion over the transformed teacher. " "?
"Correct the Witch put me in charge of the prisoners to keep them in line. Now with the power of fighting from the heart. YOU SHALL PERISH". Smiles wickedly weilding his whip.
The Croaker
Gumball and Clare at each other for a moment. With Gumball whispering something in her ears thus giving the teen an idea. The two are smiling which confusing The Croaker.
~ Outside the Castle
Beating sounds are heard outside and glass of a window breaks and scream is heard. As The Croaker is seen falling with massive bruises, multiple scratches,a black eye and a broken jaw falling from the Castle.
Clare and Gumball are seen in from the window. With both having bored expressions on there faces with zero damage on them.
"Wow that was way too easy". Clare saying in her uslual mopy self as she just beat up her former teacher.
"I mean he barely put up a fight. You think a grown man against two kids would be a bit more challenging". Still in her uslual mopy self.
"Well it takes more then the power of the heart and believing in yourself to win a fight". Also he was so physically weak that even a piece of paper could beat him up". Gumball looking for a weapon to use.
"It would've been a different story if was Mr Small or Ms Simion though". Gumball saying this as he was looking around the room looking for a weapon to armed himself.
At first he tries to use the whip,but couldn't as he kept hitting himself with it multiple times and then hitting Clare in the butt by accident.
"Ow" Clare turns around to glare at the cat while she was rubbing her butt. Then she walks towards the sheepish Cat.
This causes the teen to slap him in the face,then takes the whip from his hands and throws it outside the broken window much to his dismay.
"Aww" The blue feline saying in disappointment.
~ At The Entrance Of The Castle
Penelope,Rob,Masami,Bert,Joe,Carrie and the others arrive near the Witches land was covered in toxic waste and piles of junk everywhere. With cranes including crushed cars and an incinerator.
"Ugh This place is disgusting it's filled with germs and all other viruses. I have no idea what kind of person would live here-(sees Tina glaring at her) who am I to judge about that who lives where um sorry". Terrisa being nervous as she might have insulted The Trex girl right in front of her.
Then Carmen sees something.
"Uh guys I'm not sure what but there's a castle in the sky." She points to the air then the others look up to see that there is a floating castle above the incinerator.
it was h giant floating castle. The entire castle itself was floating in the air was made with trash and junk that can be found in the junkyard. It also has parts of a chemical plant where smoke was coming out. A symbol of a rabbit skull with two bones crossing looking like a poison symbol on it.
"So I'm guessing that floating castle is her lair"? Tobias pointing at the castle.
"Most likely". Anton answering his
"So this little brat takes my home and then turns it into her little playground". Tina angered.
"Remember The Witch still has a mindset of child. So she thinks that she is a Queen and we are the intruders coming to steal her toys."Bert informing them.
"Well if that's the case. I'm not leaving until we have her head on a pike." Penelope holding her golf club with her hand and tapping it on her left hand.
"But we should find Gumball first before we take on The Witch." Rob.
"You think Gumball is okay up there?" Masami concerned for the blue cat.
Then the group hears a noise as The Croaker is seen falling down and hitting the ground groaning on pain.
"I think he's doing just fine Masami." Carrie feeling certain that he's okay.
"Yeah but I think this guy just croaked under pressure". Joe points to the frog man while chuckling. Masami rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"Do you ever shut up or are you incapable of being quiet because your jokes aren't PUNNY".
Joe was still laughing until a whip fell an hit him in the face.
"So how exactly are we going to get up there"? Tobias asking the others.
"Simple we just gotta past them". Anton points to two ink Monsters who were below the floating castle. Two creatures were on pillars one leap from the pillar to the ground while the other barely flew down but fell down next to it.
There were two of them one was a human duck monster. With a beak of a duck and duck legs for hands. Her face was 3/4 cartoon duck while having her human hair and eye on the top right side of her face,the lower part of her body was still human but with a duck tail and her legs were bended for her to walk.
The other one was a bit more human but has an appearance of a frog wearing human clothes. It's eyes were almost humans,it has a frog like mouth,It wore a pyramid cone hat and having frog legs,it had a monobrow. It also sat like an amphibian as it croaked liked one.
"This is going to be way too easy. It's not like they had an army with them". Tobias saying this over confident about it the situation.
Then the duo Gatekeepers roared but it was more of a duck honking and a frogs croaking as they were summoning some backup.
Then ground started to rumble and out of the piles of junk a bunch of broken mannequins with ink spewing out of them crawl and charge towards the Insurgence surrounding all of them. The group turn theres heads and glaring at the human multicolored cloud creature.
"You just had to say it didn't you". Bert saying this Tobias looking sheepish.
"PLAY WITH MEEEE". The Mannequins said in union in The Witches voice.
"We can kill Tobias later after we deal with these walking piles of trash ." Rob ordering them to focus.
Ink Jodie & Josh AKA The Gatekeepers
The Insurgence ready there weapons against the ink creatures who were charging at them.
The sound of mannequins monsters being shattered as Joe slams his hammer at one of them crushing it. Tina grabs one of ink monsters then sends it to the ground followed then by biting another ones head off it's head off. Penelope swings her golf club at the ink mannequins face in the debris,Rob fires his blaster and it hits five of ink monsters causing them to explodes. Bert using his eye laser to wipe out the ink mannequins in front of him.
Then he gives Carmen his arm cannon and along with Gamma as a jetpack, then she puts her Google's on starts blasting away at thee ink monsters giving multiple on them head shots. She tosses Bert his arm back then fires at the ink mannequin behind him with it top half of it's body using her origami skills to fold origami kunais with kanji for "explode" written on them. She throws three at one of the Mannequins causing it to explodes into multiple chuncks.
Anton is being chased by duck creature as he's made of bread. Tobias using the whip from earlier use it to hit the ink duck in the face. This irritates the duck enough to ignore Anton and chase Tobias around the junkyard.
As Tobias kept running he trips then falls flat on his face. Then the Human Duck using this opportunity to peck him repeatedly as he screams in pain.
"Ahhhhh Ahhhhh. GET THIS DUCK OFF ME. GET THIS DUCK OFF ME!" He pleads as he try to push the monster away but to no avail. Then behind the monster someone grabs the deck by the neck. Then starts to slit it's throat with a small blade all the way through it's neck while ink comes out of it's neck. As it quacks in pain.
The Human Duck falls to the ground letting out one last quack before dying as it fades away. The person who did this is revealed to be Anton holding a small knife who just has a creepy smile on his face with Tobias looking like he just pissed his pants.
"Well that was fun". Anton
"Uhh... thanks...man" Still trembling.
Elsewhere The Frog Cultist was hopping very high on the junkyard as it was chasing Carrie attempting to devour her.
Carrie weilding her sickle charges at the ink frog her spits his tounge out to hit the ghost girl but it goes right though her. Carrie grabs it's tounge then slices it off but some of the blood comes out of the tounge with sparys on her.
"(Disgusted)Gross". Carrie then drops the tounge of the frog.
The ink frog falls into the ground. But when it tries to get up to attack the ghost girl. A sudden flash happens and in a moment the frogs head is decapitated by Masami. As it's head falls into the ground .
Masami then stabs the ink frogs severed head with her sword to make sure it was dead. Then it's body fades away like it's partner did.
"And that's how the story of the frog prince actually happened not by kissing the frog but by decapitated it."
"Wait what. That cant be right"? Masami looks at the narrator.
"Look it up."
"Just take his word for it Masami. It's better then kissing a frog". Carrie telling Masami to also ignore me.
"Well at least I'm some idiot who spent all day kissing one then got ended up in the hospital with warts and "frog flu" after that."
Unbeknownst to the group there remains of the Mannequins start to reassemble together.
~After The Battle Near the Gateway
The gates to the flaoting castle open as stairs start to form from top to bottom. The group of nine were about to walk up the stairs to rescue Gumball. Until a gun shot is heard.
"Ahhhh" Rob screams as he covers his left upper arm which was bleeding. Getting the others attention including Penelope who was the most concerned.
Rob"!? Penelope going to where Rob is while Teresa who was with him covers his wound.
"Who the hell did that."? Tobias wondering where the shot came from.
A gun is shown which fired the gun with someone weilding it. It zooms out to see the person who fired the bullet. She was weilding a small shot gun. Then places it on back with a handle attached to her back.
The person appears to female but her face was wrapped up like a mummy's but only her eye is seen. Her outfit looks like a stereo typical Witch out but with a smaller skirt, stripe socks and pointy shoes.
"I'm afraid that I can't let any of you go further then where you are now". Shes trying to sound menacing. They didn't respond until she heard what she just said.
"Wait I meant to say was is you shall not pass." The mummified witch corrected herself. While she was monologues some of the Insurgence members go up the stairs while Teresa whispers to Rob.
"So is that girl The Witch you guys were talking about"? Teresa asking Rob.
"No this is just one of her cronies. She's called The Crone ". Rob informing her.
"But she is a witch alright. Including Penny she's a witch with a capital B." Masami holding her katana ready to strike.
"That makes three of us Airhead ". Penelope replies to the cloud girls comment causing Masami to glare at her.
"Oh Zip it Miss Peanut Buttface". This cause Penny to hiss at Masami like a snake for that insult.
Before they could start bickering another gunshot is heard but this one was to get there attention.
"As I was saying I can't let any of you get to her. So I got some insurance in case this might happen." She snaps her fingers and then a giant suit of armor made of mannequins falls to the ground then resembles itself then it's head lands on it's head.
Then something burts through the wall it appears huge at first but when the smoke clears it was actually really small. She had horns on the side of her body,wore a white t shirt and black shorts. She was also very short tempered plus her bangs hide her eyes.
She was called The Toro her nostrils flared up as her stance was similar to an actual bull while growling. Tina and Anton look the most suprised.
"So she got Jamie as well". Tina saying in irritation.
"Oh man I can't fight my girlfriend". Anton looking worried for her. Then the others including The Crone minus Tina and Tobias has a mix of confusion and shock of what he just said. As it sounds like a record was stopped.
"Wait...what"? Carrie trying to process this.
"It's a very long story". Tina informing them.
"I'm still in shock about that". Tobias still trembling from it.
"What I like really strong girls." Anton explaining this to them.
Then something comes out of the floating castle that tries to blast Bert with it's eye laser. But he dodges it in time.
The robot that attack him was Beta who lands next to the Crone.
"The Witch informed me to tell you that"- The punches it's already damage lens in the face.
"I know. I deal with that after I take these punks out." The Crone uninterested that her arm is bleeding ink from it while not looking at Beta.
"If you want to make yourself useful to us. Then destory those traitors." She points to Antonio and Bert.
"Understood Activating B-101 MK II MODE". Then Beta begins to transform into a his alternate mode. It's body became into an airborne fighting machine.
It also has a black platform-like head with a large grey shade and a single Red "eye" on its otherwise-featureless face that moves from its legs removed, Betas lower torso has been replaced with a rudder-like black and white tail, and two thin grey and green-colored thrusters on its lower torso, granting it impressive aerial Its arms are also equipped with large shield-like gauntlets with spikes and powerful twin energy cannon weapons mounted underneath each gauntlet.
With Betas upgrade complete it was about to begin to fight them. Until the notice that some of the intruders have already started to climb up the stairs to the castle. As the Insurgence left while Beta was still transforming as it took him four minutes to complete it.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE BLAST THEM OUT OF THE SKY". The Crones screams at Beta to attack them.
With the order Beta MK II destorys the lower part of the stairs causing half the members of the Insurgence Teresa,Bert,Anton,Tobias,Carmen and Tina to fall from the platform. While Penelope,Rob,Joe, Masami and Carrie where on at the top close to where the castle is.
Teresa getting some large paper out of her backpack to form an origami eagle. As she rides it to catch Tina, Carmen and Anton While Bert who can fly manges to catch Tobias by his short giving him a wedgie as a screeches in pain.
"JUST KEEP GOING BOSS. WE'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU AFTER WE DEAL WITH THESE PUNKS FROM BELOW"! Tina yelling at Penny and the others to keep moving.
After hearing this the remaining members continue to run and head towards the Castle.
"You really think they'll be fine"? Carrie unsure about leaving the others behind.
"Caroline you forget one thing about The Insurgence. There not trapped with the monsters. The monsters are trap with them." Penelope with a confident look on her face. As she then orders Rob to destory the front door of the castle.
Pulling out a bazooka from hospital backpack. He aims for the door then fires. The impact immediately causes an explosion that blows the door into the inside of the castle crushing some of the guards who were inside it.
The group enter the castle as it was already mostly destoryed as the furniture and walls were a mess due to someone else out of anger. They move further into the castle as they began to search for Gumball.
~Inside The Castle
Clare and Gumball are seen running from the guards who where a bunch of card like monsters weilding Spears and Axes. As they were running Clare mangaes to find a closet to hide in. Also grabs the blue feline into the closet with her.
"Um you know that I have a girlfriend and-" Gumball gets slapped in the face by the disgusted teen.
"Ow". Gumball feeling his cheek on his face.
"Okay first of all that is never going to happen cause your a feline, second it would be as if I made out with my step brother which is extremely disgusting and three if you're world wasn't real then she wasn't real either." Clare saying this with her fingers pointing in her sleeves.
"Okay ow again." Feeling hurt of what Clare just said to him. While giving her a glare of what she said about his Penny.
He knew that his world wasn't real after that glitch that happened in his town during when he and Darwin got into a fight. But what he felt about the shape shifting fairy was real to him.
As he was looking for the lights. Gumball finds the switch which he presses with a click. As the room lit up the two see a bunch of weapons such as axes and Spears including a machete. The duo looked at each other with wicked grins on there faces as if they new what to do with them.
~Throneroom
The Witch is seen with the same demented expression on her throne that was mostly broken due to her damaging it. She looks at three other people who were infornt of her throne. She was grinding her teeth and her hands were trembling with rage as if she was trying to control her anger for a bit.
"It seems that...The girl got away and she took my kitty...and now those Insurgence people are here including there leader and they are...coming to...kill meeeee.(Starts to tremble in fear). But of they run..away with the kitty... Mommy...is gonna...beat..me and Darwin...is... going...to mock...me then beat...me."
The Witch put her hands on her head as if she's in pain and starts crying. One of the people who she was talking was about to ask her what's wrong as he was going to reach out to her with his hand.
But then she grabs his arm and removes it from his body. Then she screams at all of them in pure anger while having tears is her eyes.
"DO NOT PITY ME GO AND FIND THEM" As they were told the trio then ran from her and closed the door behind them. But one of them asked for his arm back only to get hit in the face with it.
"KILL ALL OF THEM EXPECT FOR THAT CRYBABY AND THE KITTY. I'LL ENSURE THAT SHE WILL REGRET THE DAY SHE WAS BORN." The Witch with a vindictive look on her face while thinking about sadistic ways to torture the moody teen for taking her kitty away from her.
"So just to clarify you want me to bring them"- Gets cut of by the ill tempered Ink Rabbit.
"GOOOO"! She screams at him to leave. As the frightened man closes the door then starts running catching up with his friends.
The Witch breathes heavy as she returns to her throne. With a demented look on her face as she gleefully laughs.
"Let's see of the break while they bend".
"THE FUN WILL NEVER END". She saids this towards the sky as her voice echoes the word end over and over.
