This is taking place during the rest of the nightmare. Ok read on.
"This can't be.. You can't be my brother.."
Gumball sighed, knowing Darwin would say this again.
"You're not him! You're just a monster!"
The word echoed through his head, as the blood pouring endlessly out of his mouth made a puddle around him.
Monster.. Monster... Monster..
GOSH DARN IT GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
The scene swirled around again, making it seem dizzy for Gumball, as the faces he always knew turned into sinister and creepy smiles, with glowing white eyes and mouths.
Wait that part wasn't there before..
Faces began to laugh, staring at him with the creepy eyes.
"You will never be the same to us Gumball.." Anais echoed, her face distorted through the swirling abyss of faces.
"This isn't real! You're not real! Why should I be afraid of you?!"
She sneered, and gestured to a new figure.
"Him Gumball.."
The figure stepped forward, looking like a mess.
It was a blue figure, with the same face as everyone else, but with sharp teeth and clawed hands.
With shock, Gumball stumbled over a bit, realizing the figure was him.
"No.. I don't look like that!"
"Don't deny it Gumball.." Penny had a sneer like his sister, but still had her sing song voice, toned down into an echo.
"This is you.. The freak... The monster that we all despise.." Darwin added, with a monotone in his voice.
The faces around Gumball began to mock and taunt him, repeating the words over and over.
"Please... Stop it..."
Penny tilted her head to the side, with a taunting look on her face.
"What's wrong monster freak? Isn't this the place you wanted to go back to?"
Gumball stood up, with a look of frusteration on his face.
"SHUT UP YOU FAKER! This isn't Elmore!" He shouted, which made the faces around him flinch with surprise.
The faces smiled again, and mocked and taunted him again.
"Monster freak! Monster freak!"
They continued to chant the words, with a sinister smile on their faces.
This was the last straw for Gumball, who was tired of this.
"SHUT UP!"
Goop flung to the faces, which stung each and every one of them, as Gumball had a look of frustration and rage.
A sudden cry was heard among the faces, sounding awfully familiar to him.
Faces disappeared to reveal Marcie hunched over onto the ground, clutching her burning chest.
"Marcie!"
Gumball tried to get closer, but she stopped him, a look of hurt and anger on her face.
"Get away from me!"
Hurt, he took steps back.
This wasn't the Marcie he knew.
"See Gumball?... Even Marcie hates you.." Darwin echoed, floating above all of the faces.
"She doesn't hate me! You're just making all of this up! NONE OF THIS IS REAL!"
Gumball gasped a little, as Marcie slumped over, going limp.
Tears formed in his eyes, realizing he just witnessed her die.
The faces continued to taunt him again, until everything faded to black.
Gumball woke up with alarm, a bit relieved the nightmare ended.
He looked over at the other end of the couch, where his brother slept peacefully.
"Gumball?... Are you okay?..."
Gumball looked up to see Marcie looming over him, with a look of concern on her face.
"Uh.. Yeah.."
"Okay, we all know that's a big fat lie."
"Fine.. I just had a nightmare okay?"
Bothered by the noise, Darwin woke up sleepily, as he let out a yawn.
"What about a nightmare?" He asked.
Gumball sighed, and told the two about the reoccurring nightmare, telling each different ending.
"It.. It felt so real.. How you died right there in front of me... And... Everything else..." He finished, sorrow in his voice.
Marcie sat beside him, and stroked his head, while holding him close to her.
"I know, it was scary.. But don't worry.. None of that happened.. And I'm still here.."
After that day, it seemed the nightmare would not go away.
Each night it would occur again, always having the same scenes over and over.
This problem lead to lack of sleep for Gumball, since he was always waking up from the nightmare in alarm.
It was another sleepless night, as he tried desperately to end this.
The nightmare began, and placed him back into the bedroom.
"Gumball come on! We're going to be late!"
He thought, trying to figure out how to change the scenes once more, and end them quickly.
"Gumball are you okay? You've been standing there for two minutes.."
"Huh? Oh uh yeah I'm fine.. I was just thinking for a second.." Gumball replied, snapping out of his thoughts.
Hm.. What can I change differently... Maybe... Not go to school? Eh, it's a shot.
Right when they arrived at school, Gumball snuck away and hid inside some bushes, hoping that nobody would find him.
"Hey!"
Gumball flinched, hearing the sound he always despised.
"Uh... Hi Miss Simian... Shouldn't you be inside teaching stuff?..."
Miss Simian scowled, as she pulled him out from the bushes.
"Why aren't you in school?! Get to class!" She screeched, as she forced him inside.
The dream unfortionatly had the same ending, the creepy faces taunting and mocking him as he awoke from consciousness.
Gumball sighed with defeat, since there seemed to be no more hope to end the terrible nightmare.
"Did you have that dream again?"
He looked over at the end of the couch to find Darwin sitting there, sleepiness and concern on his face.
"Yeah.."
"Well.. What happened this time?"
Gumball sat himself up better, as he explained the changes.
"I tried to skip school, but Miss Simian forced me inside, and then the scenes repeated again."
"Have you tried any other stuff to change it?"
Gumball sighed with misery.
"Yes.. And they end up failing every single freaking time.."
"Well... Good luck for the next one.."
"Thanks.. Uh.. Goodnight I guess.."
"Goodnight."
Gumball woke up once again, back in the bedroom, with Darwin shouting at him.
Now what do I change?... I tried everything!
"Gumball come on! We're going to be late for school!"
He sighed, and followed Darwin once again to the bus.
Now at the school, he walked inside, prepared for whatever was going to happen.
The melting occurred again, and like last time, everyone began to back away with fright.
"You're not him! You're just a monster!" His brother shouted, as Anais hid behind.
Monster... Monster.. Monster...
GGRRRR SHUT UP!
Gumball couldn't take this anymore, the same words and scenes that played over.
With rage, he let out a ear defining scream, surprising everyone around him.
The goop was splashed around, burning anyone that was in its path.
Darwin fell to the ground, being the one getting hit by it.
They aren't real.. None of this is!
Gumball grabbed the fake Darwin by the sort of neck, hatred and frusteration displayed clearly in his eyes.
"AAck.. Please... No.."
Darwin was then cut in the sort of neck, and fell to the ground, going limp instantly.
Anais had terror in her eyes, as Gumball was now looking at her.
Soon everyone in the hall were killed, since you know, they aren't real.
Gumball looked up, noticing another figure in the hall.
Grabbing them by the throat, he had the figure against the wall.
The rage disappeared, as the figure turned out to be Marcie, who had a look of terror and sorrow in her eyes.
She was quickly released, as she fell down to the floor, regaining her oxygen.
"Gumball... How could you?..." Her voice was down to a whisper, with stuttered breaths.
The scene then faded to black, the last thing Gumball seeing, was the look of hurt and terror on Marcie's face.
It was now morning, as Gumball woke up in alarm once again.
"Stupid nightmare.." He muttered to himself.
"Same one again?"
Marcie was standing near the couch, a look of concern on her face.
Gumball sighed, knowing he would have to tell her what happened in it.
"Yeah..."
She sat down beside him, waiting to hear what happened in the dream this time.
"So what happened?"
"Well..."
Gumball went on and told her about the new change that happened, and how he couldn't take anymore of it repeating, even to the moment when he almost choked the fake Marcie to death.
Soon he finished, taking in shuddered breaths, still startled by the scene.
"It's okay, it was only just a dream.. Nothing of that scene was real.." Marcie said, trying to reassure him, as she softly stroked his head like usual.
"Marcie.. You don't think it's going to actually.. Happen.. Right?.."
She noticed a look of worry and fright on his face, which was pretty concerning for her.
"Don't worry, I know things are a bit.. Difficult right now.. But everything's going to be okay.. That scene's never going to happen."
"But what if it does happen?.."
"Then I'll know what to do."
Marcie got up off the couch, and went to go get dressed.
Gumball sat there, still pondering on the question.
It was night once again, meaning the dream would most likely occur again.
In which it did.
"Gumball wake up! We're going to be late for school!"
He sighed, once hearing Darwin's voice start to echo in.
"Yeah yeah, I'm coming. Just give me a sec."
Gumball got out of the bed, as Darwin left the room.
He took in a shaky breath, getting ready for the scene that was going to come.
A FEW SCENES LATER!
The creepy faces continued to taunt over and over, which did nothing for Gumball.
He silently stared at the ground, not bothering to disprove their statements.
"Monster freak! Monster freak!"
The face that was Darwin noticed him not doing anything, and made a slight scowl.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Don't you even care?!"
Gumball sighed, now tired of this charade.
"No."
The faces whispered to one another, before looking back forward.
The face that was Anais had a look of confusion, trying to comprehend this answer.
"What do you mean, no?" The Penny face asked, confused as well.
"You guys are right. Nothing I do can change anybody's mind about me. I really am a monster freak."
"You mean.. You accept this?.." The Darwin face questioned.
Gumball nodded, meaning every word.
"Yeah. I accept it."
The three main faces had a sneer, since they had waited for these words for so long.
"Are you ready to descend?"
"Yes."
"Close your eyes."
Doing as he was told, Gumball closed his eyes, accepting the fate that was going to happen.
He felt a sudden wave of nausea overcome him, as he awoke to find himself in darkness.
"Welcome to your new home Gumball.." A voice eerily similar to Darwin's echoed, not being able to be seen anywhere.
"Where am I?..." Gumball asked, as he looked down, discovering he was completely in his melted form.
"You're in your conscious.. While it takes over you.."
A sudden image appeared in front of Gumball, being a picture of Rob.
"Gumball, how do you feel about this person?"
"Ticked off, kind of angry.."
"Do you want to.. kill him for what he's done?"
Gumball was a bit confused by this question, as he looked at the image.
Rage, frustration, and anger were all he could feel, as he looked at the picture, getting an urge to attack it.
"I take that as a yes. Now kill him."
Marcie was sleeping in her bed peacefully, as the clock ticked time away.
"Marcie?..."
Responding to her name, she woke up sleepily, as she felt pokes at her side.
"What is it?.."
She sat up in bed, as her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room.
Darwin stood at the side of her, a look of worry on his face.
"Gumball's acting weird... I keep seeing him twitching.. And.. Growling..."
A look of concern appeared on Marcie's face, as she got out of bed.
"Well.. Did you try waking him up?.."
Darwin shook his head yes, as they walked down to the living room.
"Yeah.. But.. When I stick my fin out to touch him.. I hear more growls.."
Entering the living room, Marcie walked over to the couch.
To their concern, Gumball was nowhere to be found, and only a blanket and pillow remained where he was before.
Marcie and Darwin flinched, as something crashed in the kitchen.
"What was that?.." He asked, worried very greatly now.
"I don't know.. But.. It doesn't sound good.. I'll go check it out."
Marcie motioned the fish to stay put, as she quietly snuck into the kitchen, another crash heard coming from the room.
She sighed in relief, as she found Gumball inside, but concern remained for her.
He was facing the wall in front of him, not looking at her in the slightest.
"Gumball?... Is everything okay?..."
Marcie stepped closer, but stopped, as she noticed she stepped into some goop, which was scattered around her.
Now even more worried, she looked up, noticing Gumball crouching, as he melted slowly.
Hearing a growl, Marcie stepped back, getting ready for whatever was about to come next.
"..Gumball?..."
She suddenly screamed, as a weird tentacle thing, which appeared to be made out of goop, rose from the ground, now six feet tall.
Darwin ran into the kitchen, panic on his face, since he heard her scream.
"Marcie what's going on?!"
Gumball finally turned around, obviously being the one who made the weird thing.
Marcie and Darwin had a look of terror, noticing that he was in his melted form, a look of death and murder in his eyes.
"Hm, is it difficult to destroy him?"
The fake Darwin watched, as Gumball lunged towards the image, trying to claw it to bits, but had no avail.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get him soon.."
Marcie managed to dodge the attacks, and took Darwin out of the kitchen quickly.
"Marcie what happened?! Why is Gumball attacking us?!"
They quickly dodged another attack.
"I don't know!" She yelled, as they jumped over the coffee table, which like the last time, broke.
"Damn it.. That table was sixty bucks.."
Suddenly, tentacle like creatures wrapped around the two, restraining their movements.
Looking into Gumball's eyes, Marcie's eyes widened.
"This isn't Gumball.."
The fake Darwin sneered, as Gumball stopped lunging towards the image, tired from this.
"Oh, have you finally given up?"
"What else am I supposed to do?!"
"I know just what you'll be doing now.."
Two figures appeared in front of them, bright white colored with no features at all.
"Try and kill these instead."
Gumball sighed, and did as the fake said, doing what he could to try and kill the figures.
He raised some tentacle things up, and wrapped them around the two figures, who were squirming and panicking.
"Now, it's time to get in for the kill.."
Marcie didn't have much of a plan now, since they were pretty much trapped.
The tentacles grew tighter, almost just about ready to squeeze the life out of her and Darwin.
She looked into Gumball's eyes yet again, but this was not him.
He would never try and hurt them on purpose, or even try and kill them for that matter.
Marcie took another breath, as she spoke what she could.
"Gumball.. If you can hear me in there.. Just know.. I believe in you..."
The creature supposed to be Gumball had a look of confusion, as she continued.
Before Gumball could react, he noticed the first figure speak.
"Gumball.. If you can hear me in there.. Just know.. I believe in you..."
The voice sounded very familiar, almost like.. Marcie's.
"Wait.. What?..."
He continued to watch, as the figure distorted, and formed into Marcie, who looked like she was getting her life squeezed out of her by each minute.
"All those people.. Who think of you wrong, well, they're wrong.. You aren't a monster... You're still the same little troublemaker I've always known.. Nothing can change that.. Please Gumball.. Come back to me.. You can fight that monster in you.. I know you can.."
The fake Darwin had a look of worry, since this wasn't what was supposed to happen.
"Don't listen to her! She's trying to manipulate you!"
"Shut up faker.. You're the one trying to manipulate me!"
The fake Darwin screamed, as the tentacles were now faced towards him, strangling him to death.
"You'll regret this!"
He then disappeared, as everything went to black.
The tentacles disappeared, and Marcie and Darwin fell back down to the ground, regaining their breath.
Gumball fell to the ground as well, and his eyes closed.
Marcie quickly got up and ran over to him, along with Darwin.
"Gumball are you there?! Please wake up.."
Regaining form, Gumball opened his eyes again, which turned back to normal as well.
"Ugh... Did I miss something?..."
Before he could react, he was hugged by Darwin, who had a look of relief on his face.
"You're okay!"
"Yeah... And it seems those nightmares are long gone too.." Gumball replied, as he got off the floor.
Remembering the scene, worry appeared on his face.
"Wait.. You're okay too right?..."
Marcie gave a smile, and nodded in agreement.
"Yep, we're okay too."
Gumball let out a yawn, and strided over to the couch.
"I'm going to bed.. Goodnight."
Marcie looked over at Darwin, who was also going to bed as well.
"Goodnight guys."
She left and went to her room, glad that the nightmare's terrors were now over.
