Marcie put her phone away, a look of regret and hurt on her face.
This was it, she made her decision. There was no going back.
She pulled onto the rope harder, which yanked Gumball forward, as she went to the car.
Opening the passenger door, she set him inside gently, since she didn't want to cause any more pain for him.
Marcie looked over at Darwin, and motioned him to get in as well.
The car ride was very depressing and silent, nobody saying a word.
Gumball didn't even dared to try and say anything, and kept his mouth shut.
As soon as they arrived, Marcie got out and pulled the rope again, and went inside.
Some men surrounded them, seriousness on their faces as they questioned her.
Marcie said nothing, as she stepped into a room.
The lady in there, who was wearing a black suit, walked up to them.
"Are we all set?" She asked.
Marcie nodded, as she tried to hold back her tears from falling.
"Alright. I'll be right back."
The lady left the room, the door shutting behind her.
Marcie sighed, and wiped some tears off her face, as she turned towards Gumball with a frown.
"Anything you want to say before they come back?" She asked, her voice full of sorrow.
Getting no reply, she sighed again.
"I'm sorry Gumball, but this is for your own good.."
She let go of the rope, and let it fall to the ground.
"When I came home and saw that... scene... It.. It scared me.. I just.. I just don't want to be the next person next time.."
His eyes widened a little, hearing the last sentence.
"I know this is hard to understand.. But.. I can't keep doing this anymore.. This is just too much to handle.."
Tears flowed in her eyes, as she continued.
"I don't want my dad or my brother to be right about what they said.."
Marcie could remember what their words clearly, the memories echoing through her mind.
She looked down and noticed Gumball crying as well, his tears mixing in with the goop that was surrounding him.
"It wasn't my fault for falling into that stupid void... I never wanted this stupid thing..."
He looked up at her, tears still coming down.
"I just want to go home... Back to Elmore... I just want to see my friends and family again... I miss them..."
Marcie had concern, yet sorrow on her face.
Was this really the right decision?
Before she could react, Gumball hugged her tightly, tears still coming down.
"I don't want to be the bad guy anymore..."
Marcie hugged back, not noticing the lady come back with two other men.
"Sorry to interrupt.. But they're here."
With a sigh, Marcie nodded.
"Don't worry... This isn't going to be forever okay?.." She whispered to Gumball, so quiet only her and him could hear the words.
He gave her a slight nod, as she got off the floor.
"Thank you for your time Miss Williams." The lady said, as she motioned the men an order.
One of the men came up, and stuck something into Gumball's arm, which began to make him tired.
He looked at Marcie with a look of sorrow, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, as he fell asleep.
Marcie left the building, a look of sorrow on her face.
Calm down Marcie.. It won't be forever.. Just.. Until.. He learns to control that form..
She opened the car door, taking a shaky breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Did.. Did you do it?.." Darwin asked, still sitting in the back, with a look of concern and sorrow on his face.
Marcie nodded, as she got in.
"It.. It won't be forever.. Just.. Until... You know.." She said, gripping the wheel.
"Until he controls that thing?.."
She nodded, as she started the engine.
"Uh.. Marcie?.."
"Yeah?.."
Marcie began driving down the road, still full of sorrow by the event.
"You're not afraid of me too.. Right?.."
The question made her startled, as she wasn't sure how to answer.
"Well of course not.. I'm not scared of either of you guys.." She replied.
"It looked like you were going to give me to them too.. When you were telling me to get in.."
Oh no.. I forgot about that... Uh.. Think..
"I.. It's not like that! It's just.. I.. I don't know anymore.."
She looked down a little, while continuing to look at the road as well.
Gumball finally woke up, wincing a little, as some pain entered his arm.
Looking up, he found himself in a medium sized glass dome, which was shaped like a large box.
A door was on the side, its metal standing out from the glass, as it reflected the corners of it.
"Well that's a terrible design choice.." He said to himself, as he continued to look at the door.
A door from outside the box like place opened, making him turn to the side of the wall to see who or what it was.
"Is this it?" A voice asked.
"Affirmative. Miss Williams dropped it off."
Why does everyone call me an it?!
Two men stood at the door, each wearing black suits and shades.
"Should we call them in? Hansley wanted to get a look first before he does anything."
Worry began to rise, confusion as well.
What are they going to do?...
"Very well then. Go get Hansley." The first man ordered.
The second left the room, following the order.
Gumball still kept the look of worry on his face, as the first man came up to the box wall.
"Hm. So this was the 'threat' Allison told us about.." The man said to himself, as he peered inside.
"I have arrived!" A voice called out.
The man turned around, the seriousness still remaining on his face.
A new man stood at the doorway, who was also wearing a white labcoat and glasses.
"Ah, Mr. Hansley. It's about time you showed up."
The man nodded, and came up to the box wall as well.
"This is it, correct?"
"Correct. Miss Williams dropped it off."
Mr. Hansley moved his glasses up a little, and looked at Gumball, who was still worried about what was going to happen.
"Alrighty then! Lets get to work, shall we?"
The man nodded, and went over to the door, unlocking it.
"It's all yours Mr. Hansley." The man said, as he gestured towards Gumball.
Mr. Hansley gave a smile to the man, before coming inside.
Gumball backed away a few steps, as fear replaced his worry now.
"It's all right little one, no need to be frightened. I'm only going to make a few tests." Mr. Hansley said, trying to reassure him.
"...How should I trust you?.." Gumball asked, with his voice shaking a little.
Mr. Hansley was startled a bit, not expecting him to talk.
"Don't worry, it's only small tests.. Nothing too big.." He said, a little lie forming.
Gumball relaxed a bit, the reassurance working.
Suddenly, a needle went into his arm again, and everything faded to black.
