Gumball sat in the cell, waiting as the time went by.
Hope was now on his face, now that he knew Darwin was coming to save him from this hell that was a prison.
Letting out a sigh, he sank a little lower to the ground, as he waited for the miracle of being saved to happen.
He heard a sort of bubbling noise, and turned to the side, with confusion on his face.
Seeing what the noise was, his eyes widened with surprise, and he scooted away a few paces.
A weird goopy tentacle thing was on the ground, which sprouted from the goop surrounding him.
It was quite small, only being three inches tall.
What the what?! What is that?!
The weird thing then sunk back down, and disappeared without a trace.
Was that... From the... Goop stuff?...
Gumball reached out to touch the puddle, but jerked his hand away quickly in alarm, as the weird tentacle thing came back.
He looked at it with confusion, as he noticed the thing jerking itself back.
What?...
With curiosity, he moved his hand to the left, the weird thing doing the same.
He then moved his hand right, and once again, the thing followed the movement.
Is it... Copying me?... Or.. Wait... Am I... Controlling it?...
Right when he put his hand out to touch it, the tentacle thing sank back down, some goop splashing off it as it disappeared.
This is getting weird...
Darwin took a deep breath, as he finally made it to the building.
Okay.. We're just going to get Gumball out of there.. And nothing else..
He repeated the thought in his head once more, but stopped to realize something.
Wait! I can't just go in.. I'm going to need some kind of disguise...
Darwin noticed a government man sitting in his car, humming to himself as he looked at his phone.
The man scrolled through his notification feed, with a bored look on his face.
"Boo."
Startled, the man looked over at his window, only to get hit in the head with a garbage can lid.
Surprised his plan worked, Darwin reluctantly searched the car, for anything that wouldn't look suspitious.
He grabbed a gianormous hat, which covered him completely, along with a cutting tool, and cut out little holes in it so he could see where he was going.
Finally, Darwin took the man's government badge, completing his disguise.
Okay.. This plan should work...
Two government men were talking with one another, but stopped, as they noticed an abnormally large hat coming into the building, with a badge and two holes cut out of it.
"Uh.. Dave, do you have any idea what that is?.." The first guy asked.
"Nope.. No idea Alex..." The man now known as Dave replied, with a look of confusion on his face.
Come on.. We're almost there..
"Maybe it's a kid?" Alex guessed.
"Eh.. I dunno.. It looks odd..." Dave said, with a look of suspition.
With panic, Darwin began racing towards the hall.
"Hey!"
He looked at each door quickly, opening them to see which held his brother inside.
No.. No.. Not that one..
Darwin was now panicking even more, noticing the men coming down the hall.
He then opened a random door and went inside, hoping to lose them.
"Where'd it go?"
"Come on, I think I saw it go that way!"
Darwin sighed with relief, as he heard the footsteps no longer.
He looked around the room, looking for any sign of some kind of sign.
"Darwin?... Is that you?... Or am I just seeing a giant hat in here?.."
A bit startled, Darwin noticed a large box like cell, with some sort of see through walls.
He let out a cry of joy, as he saw Gumball in the prison, who was now closer to the front wall, with his hands onto the wall.
Taking off the hat and badge, Darwin ran towards the cell, a look of happiness and relief on his face.
He stopped at the wall, and put his hands onto the wall as well, right in place with his brother's.
"Gumball you're okay!.."
"Uh.. not really..."
Confused, Darwin then noticed his brother's appearance.
Gumball was melting at the head, and at the hands as well.
Bandages were wrapped onto his right arm, along with his right leg and some of the half of his head, which covered half of his face as well, his visible eye blurry and melting.
His voice was also distorted, with a mix of his normal voice, and his melted form voice, which was his normal voice lowered down and made deeper.
"What did they do to you?..."
Darwin noticed tears in his brother's eyes, which mixed into the goop surrounding him.
"I don't know what they did... I just woke up and found myself like this..." Gumball said, with sorrow and pain.
"Don't worry.. I'll get you out, okay?.. Everything's going to be fine.." Darwin said, with reassurance in his voice.
"But how?.. That door's only keycard activated or whatever.."
Darwin looked over at the door, which had a slot instead of a handle.
"Oh.. Uh.. Well I'll think of something!"
For the next minute, Darwin tried everything to open the door, but had no success whatsoever.
Gumball looked at him with concern, but turned to the door with alarm, as he heard sounds of footsteps coming back.
"Hurry! Those guys are coming back!" He said quietly, yet panicking.
"I'm hurrying! But this door is nearly impossible to get into!" Darwin quietly said back, as he continued to try and get it open.
"Come on! I think it's in here!" A voice shouted.
With panic, Darwin ran to the door and locked it, keeping them from coming inside.
"Hey! Open this door!" The voice shouted again, as banging on the door occurred.
This time, Gumball tried to get a shot at it, but failed as well.
But right when he lifted his hand, the tentacle thing from earlier came back, but grew taller as he lifted his hand up higher.
Darwin watched with awe, as the thing was now six feet tall, and now almost slouching in the cell.
With curiousity, yet determination, Gumball put his hand out forward, and the weird tentacle thing obeyed the command, crashing into the door, leaving a dent in its place.
"It's working! Keep going keep going!" Darwin exclaimed, still watching with awe.
Gumball moved his hand back, then forward again, and the thing kept crashing into the door.
Finally, the door gave way, and fell down with a thud, leaving a surprised, yet astonished Darwin standing outside of it.
"...Wow."
The door to the room kicked open, with government guys outside, looks of anger and annoyance.
"Hey wait! It's another one!" Alex shouted.
"And they're getting away!" Dave added.
Gumball and Darwin looked at them with panic, not knowing what to do now.
"Get em'!"
One man grabbed hold of Darwin, and forcefully yanked him backwards.
"Ah! Gumball help me!" He cried, as the man was taking him away.
What do I do?! Think Gumball think! Gasp! I got it! Wait no.. That's too risky...
The angel version of himself appeared to his right, with a look of determination.
"Do it Gumball, your brother needs you!"
"But I can't... I don't want to turn into that monster again..."
"Who cares right now?! Darwin needs you!"
With new determination, and a bit of rage, Gumball turned into his melted form, ready to save his brother.
"Get the other one!" Dave shouted to Alex, who followed the order.
Alex cornered him, with frusteration and anger on his face.
"Come here you little-"
Before he could finish, a puddle was left on the ground, no sign of Gumball anywhere.
"What the hell?! Where'd he go?!"
Alex searched the area, but found nothing.
Darwin was quite confused as well, but then realized where his brother was.
Oh.. I get it! He's trying to jump scare them!
But Darwin was sort of correct on the prediction.
Dave and Alex's mouths dropped with shock, as they noticed a large shadow loom over them, and with bravery, they turned around, only to widen their eyes with even more shock.
Gumball reappeared, and was now standing at nine feet tall, towering the men greatly, with his eyes narrowed and a look that said 'you two are so dead.'
With fright, Alex and Dave quickly ran off out the door, questioning their career choices.
"Cowards."
Darwin looked up at his brother with shock on his face, not expecting this to happen.
"What... The... What?..."
Gumball smiled, enjoying the reaction Darwin had on his face.
"Well? Anything you want to add?"
"Uh... No.. I mean yes! I mean.. It's just... You're huge! How on Earth did that happen?!"
Gumball shrugged, not knowing the reason either.
"No idea. Probably it's something to do with that goop stuff."
"Should... We go back to Marcie's now?.." Darwin asked, with hesitation.
"Wait.. You did tell her you were breaking me out.. Right?..."
Darwin had slight realization on his face.
"Oh... Uh... Whoops..."
Gumball bent down, with a mischievous look on his face.
"Should we surprise her with this?"
With thought, Darwin nodded, with a mischievous look on his face as well.
"Lets do it."
Marcie stepped outside her home, as she felt the nice spring breeze.
"Hm.. I wonder where Darwin is.."
"Over here!"
Marcie looked around her with confusion, since Darwin was nowhere around her.
"Darwin? Where are you?"
"Up here Marcie!"
She looked up, and gasped with shock on her face.
"D... Darwin what-"
The fish was sitting on his brother's shoulder, with a grin on his face.
Gumball stood there, with a grin as well.
"Hi Marcie, did we scare ya?"
"G-Gumball?! W..What... H-How?!"
Marcie continued to be shocked, as Darwin was gently put back down.
"Darwin.. What exactly were you up to?..." She asked, narrowing her eyes a little.
"Well.. I broke Gumball out of that place.."
"You what?.."
Gumball was now back to normal size, and no longer in his melted form.
"He saved me.. If it weren't for him, I would of been stuck in that hell forever-"
Gumball quickly slapped his hand over his mouth, realizing what he said.
"Sorry.." He quickly added.
"It's fine.." Marcie said, still surprised.
She was finally no longer surprised, and took the two inside.
"Okay, now tell me EVERYTHING that happened. Every single detail."
She sat herself onto the couch, also setting the two there as well.
Although they told the story, Gumball never told her, or Darwin, about that nightmare, still weary about how it felt so real to him.
"Oh.. I never should of sent you there.." Marcie sighed, as she lightly face palmed.
"Well at least he's okay right?" Darwin said, a bit relieved his plan sort of worked.
Marcie had slight concern on her face.
"Yeah, that's the good part. However, there's a bad part too."
"Please don't tell us the government guys are going to look for me now?..." Gumball had disappointment and worry on his face, as she continued.
"Yep. That's probably what's going to happen."
She then got off the couch, with some determination on her face.
"But I won't let them take you guys away. If they try, then they'll get the hell they deserve." She said, with a smile on her face.
"You're not him! You're just a monster!"
Gumball woke up in a jolt, as the nightmare occurred again.
Ugh.. Stupid nightmare.. Get out of my head..
He then went back to sleep, as the night went on.
However, the dream occurred again, starting at the beginning like usual.
"Come on Gumball! We're gonna be late for the bus!" Darwin shouted, as he pulled his brother out of bed.
Gumball grumbled to himself, since he realized it was that dream again.
He sighed, and took his hand out of his brother's.
"Huh?.. What are you doing?.." Darwin asked, confusion on his face.
"I'm not going. There's a certain reason why, but of course you wouldn't understand it." Gumball replied, as he faced the wall.
"What? Gumball you can tell me, I'm your best friend and bro, remember?"
Gumball sighed again, and faced his brother with a frown.
"Of course I remember, I've always remembered.. It's just.. You wouldn't understand what my reason is."
"Gumball please tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone else if its that important!"
Giving up, Gumball followed his brother to the bus, predicting everything that happened before.
"So what took you guys so long?" Anais asked, as she was sitting in the back like last time.
"The alarm didn't go off." Gumball lied, since he didn't feel like dealing with this.
Arriving at the school, Gumball took a breath, and prayed with all his might that last time wouldn't happen again.
"Hi Gumball!" Penny greeted, like before.
"Oh hi Penny!" He greeted back, not freaking out like before.
"Anything interesting happen with you?" She asked.
"Uh.. Nah.. Not really anything special or whatever." He replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Noticing her sudden look of surprise, he knew what was happening.
His brother and sister also noticed this, with a look of shock on their faces as well.
"G-Gumball what..." Penny stuttered at her words, as she looked at the melted form of him.
He didn't bother answering, since he knew that they would probably be even more frightened by his voice.
"Was... Was this that reason why earlier?..." Darwin asked, with some fright on his face.
Gumball nodded, still silent.
"What... Exactly... Happened... To you?..." His brother asked again, hesitance in his voice.
With a sigh, Gumball finally spoke, predicting their reactions.
"I don't know."
The three were taken back a little by the sound, taking a few steps back again.
The nightmare was now beginning to take place.
