Chapter five
Into The Void
Burpy gasped, he hadn't planned for that to happen! He saw a tow truck nearby, he grabbed his clothes from Joules, who had kept hold of them when he and Gumball had swapped places, three gumball back his clothes and pulled on his T-shirt, coat, trousers, and slipped on his mask. Burpy then pulled out a brass tube that had an orange jewel at the top, a transparent screen on the side, and a orange grip. This device was called a sonic screwdriver, Burpy had been given it as a gift from The Doctor, and Burpy guessed that all he had to do was point and think, and it worked! The tow truck's motor activated, lowering the hook to its greatest length. Burpy then tied the cable connected to the hook around his waist and jumped into the window of static.
"Well" said Gumball, "I guess anything is possible in a cartoon…" HEY! Stop breaking the 4th wall! "Sorry!" YOUR STILL DOING IT! Let's just go to see how Burpy is getting on.
Burpy was in a place that was hard to understand, it was full of random junk and there seemed to be no gravity there either, Burpy looked all over for Rob, but couldn't find him anywhere! Burpy started moving himself around by pushing off of some floating rocks, he then saw him, Rob was sitting on a floating rock and all Burpy needed to do was grab him. But when he grabbed Rob, he shoved Burpy off him and started to run away!
"Wait! Rob!" Burpy called to the cyclops, whilst trying to pursue him, "I am trying to save you! I am not Gumball!" Rob stopped and turned to him,
"Why would you try to save me?" He demanded, "after all I have done?" Burpy then took a deep breath,
"Because it isn't your past actions that effect you now, it is what you do to make your wrongs right. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you know that it is the good thing to do, everyone has the choice to be good, and most easily take it. Some find it hard to do what is right, but deep down they get a feeling inside that tells them if what they are doing is right, and I am trying to do what is right for you, let me help you Rob. Please." Rob was taken aback by this speech and then, to Burpy's surprise, kept towards him and took his outstretched hand! Burpy smiled and pointed the sonic screwdriver at the entrance to The Void, and thought "wind up" the jewel at the end lit up and made a whirring noise, and soon the tow cable tightened and pulled both of them towards the entrance!
They fell out of the entrance, and Burpy stood up and pointed the screwdriver at the entrance and thought "close", the screwdriver whirred and lit up with its orange glow, and the entrance to The Void closed! And somehow, Elmore was completely back to normal! Rob stood up, and ran off, and Joules and Toothless rushed up to Burpy and hugged him, but Toothless soon recoiled and gave Burpy a bite on his ear.
"You saved him!" Joules said in disbelief, "and I thought you couldn't get any kinder" Burpy untied the tow cable and saw that Nicole and Richard were walking towards him, when they got close, Nicole cleared her throat,
"I am very sorry Mr Flame, I thought you were just Gumball acting crazy again," she shook Burpy's paw and said, "you saved my children, thank you." Burpy couldn't stop grinning! He was so proud that he was glowing again!
"You did more than save our children!" Richard exclaimed,
"He saved the whole town!" Joules finished. But Richard was shaking his head,
"Better that that! He saved Joyful Burger!" And with that, ran towards a fast food joint that was a few meters away from where they were standing. Anais facepalmed and turned to Burpy,
"I think that we owe you a favour, if you need anything, just come to the Watterson house, I think that we will be glad to help you." This seemed to be the most grownup thing that Burpy had heard since arriving in Elmore, and she was the youngest person he had met!
"Where will you go now?" Asked Darwin, "I didn't think you have a house in Elmore."
"They could stay with us, if you want." Nicole replied, Burpy was about to accept the offer, but then realised that Joules was tugging at his sleeve, and he then saw why, another rift had opened, but this time, Burpy knew what it was, it was The Vortex. It was time to say goodbye.
