Dust covered Gumball's face as he coughed and got up from a small pile of debris. The sky was clear and sunny, but everything around him was destroyed. The town was somewhat familiar but Gumball was not able to remember anything, except his own name, which was odd. The town looked like a warzone with the highway being littered with cars.
What day was it? What year? Where was everyone?
Gumball got lost inside his thoughts but couldn't seem to remember anything, but a name ringed inside his name, it was Rob.
"This isn't right." Gumball thought, on the distance, a hospital stood out between the buildings that were mostly destroyed.
Upon reaching the abandoned hospital Gumball felt as if there was something malicious in the building.
Something was off, he needed answers.
The hospital wasn't too far from the ordinary, but the electricity was out, which was reasonable considering the state of everything else around it. Gumball's footsteps echoed in the long white hallway, which went left and right, an alarm was sounding off in the left corner which caused Gumball to investigate.
The hallway led to an office, white walls, and a tile floor, the window was open which let in the light of the day. However, what grabbed Gumball's attention was the notebook that was left on the desk.
"What's this?" he thought, picking it up.
He begins reading it.

This can't be happening, there is an explanation to all of this, but they stormed us and killed all of us, I don't know… god…
It was supposed to be a normal day but the military entered the building soon after the explosions went off, I thought they were here to save us, but they gathered all of us and just started shooting, they were just here to kill everyone.
I'm hiding, but I think they left, I heard them shoot the dead bodies to make sure everyone was dead, I don't know how I'm still alive.
I don't want to die, I don't even know if it's safe to go out there anymore.
Gumball stood in silence, he didn't have a clue as to what even happened before the massacre. What bombs? Military? There were so many things he was clueless about.
As he reached the other end of the hallway he saw a locked door where blood was pouring out from, that must have been where they were shot.
Gumball took the notebook and left.

I'm currently on my way to the parking garage near the mall, supposedly this town is called Elmore, I'm not sure what I'm even looking for, answers I guess.
Everything has happened very fast, I don't remember anything, my head hurts and I'm starving, but something is telling me to go to the garage.
I hope I find whatever I'm looking for there, or at least stay alive for now…
I finally made it to this mall, it's already night but I've heard explosions in the distance, god knows what is going on, Maybe those military men who killed the doctors were found? I hope so. I have never been any happier to see food, I don't remember the last time I've eaten either, it's weird, to say the least.
Anyway, I found a destroyed red van in the parking lot, oddly enough the only thing it had was a remote which I took for some reason. It's broken, however maybe I can use the parts for something? Or just a souvenir.
I'm going to keep writing on this journal, it seems like the only logical thing to do.
Gumball woke up in the morning light, the birds were chirping and the parking garage seemed empty as usual.
"Maybe I can find something useful in the mall?" Gumball thought.
As he walked inside the partly destroyed mall he noticed a TV shop that was still on the air, he stood frozen as soon as he read what it had to say.
"Holy Shit." he said out loud.
The following message is being transmitted at the request of the US Government
The United States of America, along with other governments, has come to declare our new goal, due to circumstances outside of our control, our new task will now be the extermination of the human race, there will be no further communication.
Gumball's jaw was wide open, another TV report had a woman with a mask reporting on the state, the death toll had apparently reached millions, the United Nations was setting up camps everywhere. Gumball stayed in the shop for a while trying to process what happened, how could this happen? Why?
The internet was down, and probably globally too, Gumball had a new sense come to him, something telling him to get out of there, to find answers.
G.W
It's been around 7 hours and my legs hurt a lot, I keep trying to find out more about this "extermination" deal but I won't find much here on 'Elmore' So I guess I'm making my way to San Fransisco.
If the government did go, rogue, I guess I would be better off in rural areas, I don't know why I'm going into a suicide mission like this.
Answers I guess.
I managed to find a pocket knife which will do some help but from what I was able to tell several nukes were detonated uniformly in the whole country, I'm pretty sure most of California is a radioactive wasteland. Not only that but apparently the mad lads managed to get Yellowstone to Erupt, I'm not sure what to even think, I don't remember anyone who was a family member so I guess I have nothing to lose if it really is the end of the world.
12 Hours Later
"I could survive here for years." Gumball thought as he left the mall. However, the idea of being quarantined in a small place and surviving off of canned food seemed to dull, he needed answers.
After hours of walking aimlessly in the desert, Gumball reached a small military base which still had activity in it, getting in wasn't a big deal but it was stressful, to say the least.
Inside a hangar, the soldiers were lined up, apparently they were doing some kind of check, the officer would stab a soldier in the arm and the soldier didn't even yelp, these weren't normal people.
Eventually one of the soldiers yelled, the officer pulled out the gun and shot him on the spot, Gumball just watched.
The men were moved out and the base was deserted, Gumball went over to check the body for anything useful.
"What the hell…" He thought.
G.W
I saw a line assemble and shortly after leave, it seems to me the soldiers aren't alive at all or are on steroids or something. God knows at this point.
I stopped eating a lot, I'm just simply not hungry, and I'm pretty close to San Fransisco, I buried the body of a soldier who was shot on spot by his own crew, I try to bury as many bodies as I can. It just sucks to see so many things I could have done to prevent or stop some of this. I have no clue what is going on as usual.
I reached San Fransisco and found some interesting things, to say the least.
I managed to get inside the UN Federal Office Building, It looks like everything went to hell.
Many world leaders were assassinated hours before the attacks on humanity began, the UN is doing as much as it can to save people but apparently not many soldiers are being deployed, turns out this is happening worldwide. Apparently a vote was held between the senate, many officers, and high ranks in the system resigned or killed themselves, there was a wave of suicides but it stopped, somehow.
Apparently some computer who called itself "The Internet" started rambling about how he was going to take over the world in the running television programs, not that bad.
Paris is in ruins, the whole city is gone.
Britain's refuges were being transported to a different city in Switzerland when a nuclear weapon that was left behind went off.
Many United Nations refugee camps were destroyed.
I'm scared to death, but something is telling me to get to New York, it's like a sense, and this remote has something to do with it. I feel like I'm losing it. I wanted to access more information but I don't have any access to it and the last thing I want to do is blast an alarm.
It's the end of the world, what even is the point of hiding stuff anymore?
