XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Gumball wake up!"
Startled, Gumball woke up confused, hearing Darwin's voice overhead.
"Wait what-"
"Come on! We're gonna be late for the bus!"
He opened his eyes, to find himself in his bed, which confused him very much.
"Wait Darwin how did we get back?.."
Darwin raised an eyebrow, not sure on what Gumball just said.
"What? Gumball come on!"
Gumball was pulled out of bed, and the two got dressed and raced down the stairs.
As soon as they got on the bus, their sister Anais was sitting in the back.
"So what took you guys so long?" She asked.
"Can someone PLEASE tell me what the heck's going on?!"
Gumball was confused as heck, since he remembered clearly that everything he knew and loved was gone.
"Gumball are you okay? You're acting weird.." Darwin had concern on his face, as he watched his brother question everything.
"Gumball calm down!" Anais sat him back down on the seat.
"But... But.."
"Just wait until school okay? Everyone's starting to look at us."
The bus arrived at the school, and the three went their separate ways.
Gumball was still confused.
Where's the box cell thing?! Where's that building?! Am I really back in Elmore?!
"Hi Gumball!"
His thoughts were interrupted by his girlfriend Penny, who waved to him hello.
"Oh uh.."
Suddenly, the memory of her falling off the balcony appeared in his head, freaking him out instantly.
"Gumball?..."
Penny tried to calm him down, but had no avail.
"Gumball stop please just calm down.."
She put her hands in his, as she tried to figure out what he was so terrified about.
Gumball jerked his hands away, with fear and confusion on his face.
"This... This can't be real... You can't be here..."
Penny looked at him with hurt and concern on her face.
"Gumball what are you talking about?..."
He continued to panic, still questioning how he was there.
Darwin and Anais noticed this and tried to calm him down as well, but nothing worked.
Everyone gasped, and began to back away, as they saw a sight they didn't expect.
Gumball looked up at them, fear, panic, and confusion all on his face.
"W..What?... What's wrong?..."
Hearing the deep echoing voice, Gumball looked down with fright, as he realized he was in the melting form now.
Suddenly, blood appeared in his mouth, dripping onto the floor heavily, and didn't stop.
Anais hid behind Darwin, fright displayed on her face.
"You're... You're not Gumball..." Darwin stuttered, fear on his face as well.
Gumball continued to melt, drenched in his own color and some kind of blood.
Students in the hall backed away with fright as well.
This was not Gumball.
"W-Wait Darwin it is me... D..Don't panic okay?..."
"You're not him! You're just a monster!" Darwin shouted, as he continued to back away.
Tears formed in Gumball's blurry eyes, hearing what his own brother just said.
Monster...monster..monster...
The word echoed in his head, which was hurting him greatly.
The words and the scene swirled around, to the point where it was only blurry lines and faces.
"No... Please... Stop..."
The pain continued, as Gumball was now crying, the blood pouring endlessly out of his mouth.
Pain.
Nothing but pain.
Gumball woke up startled, and found himself still in the box like cell.
He was breathing heavily, since the nightmare felt so real.
Gumball looked down and noticed bandages covering his hand, leg, and the right side of his head, which worried him greatly.
What did they do?...
Gumball started to melt, as the thoughts of what they could of done to him filled his head.
Realizing this, he tried to stop the colors from spilling onto the ground, but failed.
"Are you okay?.."
He looked up to see a woman standing in front of him.
She had dark brown locks falling freely off her shoulders, and wore a white lab coat and glasses, along with a pair of light brown eyes.
Gumball continued to breathe heavily, panicking on what this lady might do.
He flinched, as she bent down and touched his face.
Instead of hurting him like he thought she would, the lady wiped some of the goop off his face with her hand, as she gave him a slight smile.
"Hey, it's okay.. I'm not going to hurt you.."
"how do I know that?..." He asked, still frightened.
The lady set down a plate on the ground, which had some cookies on it.
"I know I'm not supposed to do this.. But I just can't stand seeing them 'test' you like that.. So I wanted to try and make it up to you.." She said, with some sorrow on her face.
A bit hesitant, Gumball took a cookie off the plate, some curiosity on his face.
After a while, Gumball began to trust the lady, who was revealed to be named Danielle.
Danielle flinched, as she heard the door opened.
"Miss Parkers what the hell are you doing?!"
She quickly stood up in alarm.
"I-I'm sorry.. I was just-"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GET THE HELL OVER HERE!"
"I have to go.." She said quietly to Gumball, as she exited the cell.
Danielle left the room, but Gumball could hear her and the man talking.
"Sir I can explain!"
"Why the hell were you doing in the damn room?!"
"I... I.. I felt bad okay?! With all those 'tests'..."
"Miss Parkers I thought I told you to stay AWAY from that room! We're trying to keep that damn thing locked away!"
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN ORDERS!"
Gumball flinched with alarm, as he heard a smack from the outside.
*SMACK*
"Miss Parkers, get the hell out. You're fired."
Tears appeared in Gumball's eyes, due to what he just witnessed.
The door opened again, revealing the man who he heard from outside.
Gumball backed away, and cowered in the corner of the cell, a look of fear and sorrow on his face.
The man huffed, and left the room.
Please Marcie... Come back...
Tears flowed freely, as he stayed cowered in the corner.
Darwin raised an eyebrow confused, as he heard sounds of small footsteps outside of the door.
"Marcie.. I think the kids are back.."
Marcie went to the door, with a look of sorrow on her face.
The children at the door were smiling eagerly.
"Sorry... He can't come today.." She said sadly.
"Oh.."
The children left, and Marcie shut the door.
She went back to the couch, and buried her face in her hands.
Why did this have to happen?..
Hell.
For the last week, the prison had been hell for Gumball.
They would give him one meal each day, but that was the only time when he wasn't alone.
Everyday, he was always alone in the dark empty cell, with nothing but himself.
But what was even more hell were the tests.
Mr. Hansley would come in, and do some kind of test yet again, which always hurt something for Gumball.
It was another day of hell for him, as a man left a plate of food.
Gumball pushed it aside, not hungry for it.
Mr. Hansley came in, much to his dismay.
"Good morning fellow subject." He greeted, with a smile on his face.
Gumball had no look of happiness at all, and only had sorrow and fear each day.
What was the point to be happy? Nobody in this place cared.
All they cared about was for him to be locked away, away from society, away from Darwin, and away from Marcie.
"Why not a little smile eh?"
No smile appeared.
Mr. Hansley shrugged this off, and continued to smile.
"Alrighty, this won't hurt a-"
"It will hurt. It always hurts."
Mr. Hansley was a bit startled by this response.
Gumball stood there in the cell, with his voice in a monotone.
"It does?.." Mr. Hansley asked.
"Well isn't it damn obvious Sherlock?.."
"What the.. Did you just-"
"Swear? Yes. Yes I did."
Gumball continued to have a look of hatred, since he despised this man.
"But.. You're a-"
"What? I'm a what? A cartoon character? Oh wait! I forgot, you think of me as a test subject.."
The words were bitter, and full of hatred.
Mr. Hansley sighed, as he was getting tired of this.
"Look I-
"I hate you."
Mr. Hansley looked at him with surprise, noticing Gumball's voice now lowered down, and almost sounded like echoing.
"I hate all of you. Every single one of you stupid government guys."
Right when Mr. Hansley was going to open the cell door to get in, Gumball lunged towards the see through wall, breathing heavily, with a look of rage and hatred in his eyes, along with being in his melted form.
The man backed away, and didn't bother going into the cell at all.
"This cell won't keep me in here forever.. I'm going to break out of it sooner or later.. And you'll die.."
The scientist left the room in a panic, not wanting to be dead.
Gumball smiled, and reverted back to his normal self.
"Hah, finally something made me happy.."
Darwin walked down the sidewalk of the neighborhood, with melancholy in every step he took.
Despite Marcie's warnings about going out, she let him do whatever, since she knew he would be mourning about this the most.
He couldn't imagine the thought, of his brother all alone in a building, being kept away from him, just because everyone thinks he's a monster.
Kicking the stones, Darwin sighed.
Nothing was the same without Gumball.
He couldn't take it anymore, the thought of those men doing terrible things to his brother.. And the fact that he wasn't there..
I have to save him..
With determination, he ran down the sidewalk, heading to the government building.
Don't worry Gumball.. I'm coming..
From the act of their bond, Gumball heard a thought in his head, that wasn't his own.
Don't worry Gumball.. I'm coming..
Gumball smiled, hope now revived.
Darwin was going to come save him.

Aww... So sad...
Anyway let me know what you think! Was this chapter good?
Will Darwin save Gumball from this hell? Stay tuned!
INFO
-Gumball is in the government building, and Darwin is going to get him out.
-This marks the first time that Gumball has actually swore in this story.
-Okay, just as a little fun fact, the scene where Gumball lunges towards the cell wall where Mr. Hansley is is a reference to Nicole doing the same in The Signiture episode. It is also a reference to the same thing Alice Angel did in Chapter 3 of Bendy And The Ink Machine.
END OF INFO.
Chapter 14: COMING SOON.
