Gumball was about to read when they flash out of Flipy home and end up in Gumball school with his classmates. Gumball new what going on and told them everything. He then pick up the boock and started reading.
Flippy Ka-Pow History "Hey, where going to discover Gumball family history." Tobise said.
The time read one o'clock by the time he had finished crying away his misery and once finished, he felt his hunger return with a vengeance. Man, who knew crying could make you so hungry? Then again skipping breakfast didn't help.
Walking as casually as he could, he saw Granny Jojo watching the news on the recent war update. He saw that it was about their lack of soldiers. He couldn't get much before the screen went blank.
"Aw, I wanted to know what was going on." Gumball said.
"That's enough depression for now." Turning around she looked him right in the eyes. "How are you feeling?"
"Thanks for the gift."
"Yeah, now how are you feeling Gumball?" Gumball?
"You called me Gumball." That was a shocker.
"Yeah, that's you unless your names changed." Walking down the rest of the step quickly he couldn't help but chuckle.
"It just you always call me 'blue one' or… I don't know." This was a pretty strange day for him.
Not missing a beat she responded "You want me to call you that?"
"No, but-" She cut him off with a raised hand.
"Are you going to dance around my question, or answer it?" Dang, she can read me like a book.
"Can I ask a few more questions?" Please say-
"Yeah." Thanks granny."Your welcome." GJ said
"Have you always been so blunt?"
"Yeah"
"When did you start saying 'yeah'?" Her only response was to stare at him. It was actually bothering him. That's not right.
"Dumb question?" Yeah
"Yeah" Called it. Everyone chuckle at that.
"What can you tell me about …Flippy?" This should get some kind of reaction from her.
"Yeah, quite a bit" She signaled for him to sit by her. "After you tell me how you're feeling" Darn it.
"Well I'm feeling better but" Come on Watterson "I don't know what to think on them" Here it comes the 'their family' speech.
"Yeah, I hear you." Wait what
"Aren't you going to give me the 'their family' speech."
"No, look I'm not a person who sugarcoats stuff. Ask your dad about magic." That rose an eyebrow. "Kid your family abandoned you for your step brother." Too blunt. "It's only natural to feel like this.
"Well, what now?" Come on, anything not upsetting.
"You wanted to know about your great grandpa?"
"Yeah" Let's see how you enjoy it. He even put on his best neutral face. Everyone snorted at that.
Walking into the kitchen she went to the counter and pulled a knife from the drawer. This made Gumball back up. "It was a joke." Backing up into the wall he saw her smirk. He then felt relieved. It lasted until the second she started cutting the cake. "What are you doing?"
"Slicing us some of your birthday cake" she said not looking up. "always makes a story better."
"But that's Darwin's cake"
"..."
"I'd like a corner piece please." "Hey, do you got some of the cake?" Tina ask "No." Was Gumball reply.
Well it started long ago when Tiger Army wanted nothing but world domination. They killed so many and in a short time took over nations. Anyone not wanting to follow under their rule was quickly executed immediately. Soon all that were left were the leading world nations which at the time were Europe and us. The fighting became so bad that they actually lowered the age for entering the war. Your grandpa was nearly drafted at just thirteen years old, just like you are now. But being so young they gave him a choice. I believe when some family issues arose that's what pushed him to join. It seems like history is really repeating itself for this family." The look she was giving Gumball was really making him confused.What do you mean by that?
"What I mean is the way this war is going Flipqy may be reborn." That is scary, is she..."Yeah, I'm reading your mind." "Scaryes momente in my live." Gumball said.
"Okay, I'm just uh," I'm going to make a run for it."I'm going to the bathroom."As soon as he turned he heard a chuckle. Did I just got played like a fiddle? ("Yes!" everyone said) "Am I that easy to read?"
"Yeah, anyway when he joined he became friends with Mouse Ka-boom and Sneaky. They were constantly pushed down by their comrades." Sounds like school."They didn't let that stop them. After a few years they made their way the top of their branch sections. They always tried to stay paired up, any mission together was a complete success. Almost all." There was a faraway look in her eyes.
"Sneaky was a quiet fellow, never talking unless serious. He was in the stealth and recon division. He was always good at getting in a silent kill."
"Mouse was as French as they come in both appearance and personality. Few friends were as good as him. He loved life and was also a suicide bomber." Flipy smile thinking of the good times they had. What? "He never actually blew himself or a friend up, he made sure of that but he came close a few times."
"Lastly is your great grandpa Flippy, a clumsy, cowardly little goof. Like a lesser extent of your dad with a serious side. He was a leader and a strategist, when it came to combat he was great with a knife. His aim is great when he's confident, when nervous he couldn't hit a barn." "Feeling the love here Jojo" Flipy said
That is hard to picture.Gumball always thought your one or another. "Actually he's just like you." Huh "He always got into wild antics during after the war."
"What happened?" This is a history lesson I'm actually enjoying.
"After so many missions and thwarting the Tiger general's plans they decided to take the fight the fight to him. It was basically a suicide mission for them as no one wanted in on it. With permission from higher ups they went in." Gumball could only watch in silence as she took a moment for recollection. "It was their last mission together. It was also the very one that ended the Ka-Pow war altogether."Wow, my ancestor ended a war with only two men.All the pride he felt went down the moment he saw the look in her eyes. It was a look of pain and suffering and a little regret. She should be happy, or as happy asshecan be.
"That's not all is it?" It can't be, now with a look like that.The shake in her head was said that it was far from it. "What happened?"
"No interrup on this one." Gumball said said to everyone.
Flash Back
Three shadows were hiding in the trees, the leader scoping the area surrounding the enemies' main base. With a simple flick of his wrist the order was given to follow through with the plan. The tallest figure just faded from existence. The smaller one ducked into the leaves for cover, leaving the leader alone.
The tall one clinging onto the ceiling lowered his tongue stealthily and agilely through the wired-fence. He wrapped it around the tiger guard's neck tightly cutting off his voice and air. Choking and pulling him up into the fence quickly. The tiger was cut to pieces without the chance to scream.
He was Sneaky, he earned his name.
A tiger on patrol noticed a nice shiny apple on the ground. Deciding he earned a snack he picked it up. He didn't notice its odd feeling; he did notice the fuse quickly being eating away by the small fire. The last thing he saw was a mouse in goggles with an over sized bag blowing out a match.
"Le-phew." He said as he blew out the match.
The explosion was beautiful.
He was Mouse Ka-boom, he earned his name.
With the path cleared and the distraction in place it was the leaders turn. With the chaos in place he could just walk in. In fact he did while carrying a pizza with his happiest smile. The problem was he was terrified as he walked toward the door.
As he opened it no one noticed the military symbol on his military on his hat or his jacket. They just assumed he was the loyal food delivery boy just as always. (Who is actually in the kitchen, with a knife in his throat.) They saw that it was pizza; they all looked in anticipation to feel their bellies.
There was the Tiger General. The tallest tiger, he wore a monocle over his blind eye. Where his left hand should be was a crab like claw. Razor sharp, it's said he's quick to react with it.
Reaching into the box as casually as possible he grabbed for the dagger and threw it with all his might. The projectile hit the general directly in his face, leaving a cheesy mess over his face as it fell off. It revealed an unhappy tiger.
Terrified he ran with the enemy soldiers behind him trying to take aim on his moving form. As the door automatically opened he ran through. He couldn't have been more terrified.
Taking his bowie knife he threw it behind at the upcoming soldiers. His aim was off as the knife hit the wall. Or what was supposed to be the wall. He hit sneaky. This surprised both sides but he couldn't stop running. Not until he was a good distance behind Mouse.
He ran right by Mouse who through a lit bomb at the soldiers, this caused him to stop. The tigers, which were busy poking and prodding Sneaky's body, saw it fly through the hatch. Taking the chance he ran for Sneaky's body. They ran in fear as the fuse became shorter and shorter. They never saw it fly back out and into Mouse's hands.
Pulling with all his might he didn't notice Mouse behind him in a panicked frenzy. With a mighty heave he pulled it free spinning around. He barely caught Sneaky.
Finally looking at Mouse he noticed he cut the lit fuse off, he felt his pride build. It crumbled when Mouse's eyes rolled to the back of his head. He fell to the ground in a heap nearly severed in half.
The lit fuse fell into an opening in Mouse's bomb pack. With no choice and fear taking control he moved Sneaky's corpse in front of him. The blast was the biggest he had seen yet. It sent them a great distance away.
Once he got his bearings straight he didn't question his lack of wounds, he realized what he did. It was his fault and he used his friend as a meat shield. He couldn't grieve as he heard the motor transportation of the enemy.
No time to think and fear taking over he did the one thing he could think of. He hid in the remains of his fallen comrade. By the time he was in he didn't question how he got in or why he didn't run.
The tiger's pulled through the urban jungle on a rover. All they saw were the roasted remains of the enemy invaders. Since the body was all that was left they decided to survey the area.
Hiding inside of his comrade was horrible. The blood and other inner body fluids were everywhere. He was cramped and suffocating.
The enemy was surrounding him, he could feel it. He was scared. He didn't want to die. He couldn't die so young.
He wouldn't die.
Then he felt it, he knew what it was without knowing. The most primal drive, and the oldest one. It was the drive for survival. He wouldn't die.
He stretched out inside of sneaky to righten himself up. He then stood them both up. This is what caught the tiger army's attention. In a burst of strength he tore through Sneaky's back with a roar of power. In one hand a spine, in the other a femur. He couldn't stop laughing as he watched their faces.
Fear
They stood at a stands before he struck at the first tiger. With a back hand smack he knocked the tiger's teeth out of his mouth. The look of pain brought a smile to his face. Bringing the spine down on him, he gutted the foot soldier. The fear in his eyes kept him laughing.
As the teeth fell, they fell into an organ he picked it up and blew with all his might. The teeth tore through the squad of foot soldiers. They fell one by one.
In a burst of rage the general jumped into the fray avoiding the projectiles and cutting the organ in one move. This pushed him back, lifting his foot up to kick the general he was met with a knife to the chest. The smile on the tigers was one of those with a sure victory. Not dwelling on it he punched the general in the face, once, twice and the three times. The third punch sent the tiger into a tree. Not missing a beat he ran up onto the tiger. Quickly pressing against the tiger's neck with his arm against the tree, he intended to break the tiger's neck.
The general not liking that used his claw. In a single swing of his hand, he removed both of the green bears. This caused a roar in pain as the bear stumbled back. Hearing the laughing again he reached for the knife that fell onto the ground.
Moving quickly the bear impaled the general with the bones protruding from both of his wrists. Spreading them to gut his enemy he let out another primal roar. One of victory. A victory too soon celebrated. The tiger general desperate used his very own intestines as ropes to strangle his enemy.
Deciding to end the fight, he jumped backward knocking both he and the general off the cliff. Laughing once again they crashed into a large branch knocking it out of the earth. Each taking an end the generals falling face forward couldn't balance like the bear. Seeing the fear in the general's eyes before death made the psycho laugh again.
As they neared the ground he balanced himself and took his position. Before hitting the ground he jumped, letting the general be crushed. Landing hard he took a moment to right himself up. He laughed.
It was a victory, but it wasn't the victory. Heading back into enemy territory, he opened the door. He laughed as he showed the tigers their general's remains.
He was Flippy, He earned his name.
Flash Back End.Everyone was scare shitless. But Gumball decied to read more.
Gumball was hooked. He was gripping his fork hard. Small beads of sweat were falling down his face. The room seemed to be spinning, slowly, but spinning. It felt as if the thing inside of him was listening. It wanted to hear more as much as Gumball. Maybe even more so than him.
"What happened next, granny?" Gumball was addicted.
"He went and slaughtered the enemy and…" She stopped.
"And what, don't leave me hanging." This was murder.
"Well, he was never right afterwards, but I can give you his journal for during and after the war to war to read."
"When?" This anticipation is crazy.
"Tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?" Really
"Yeah, now it's two o'clock." Oh great her shows. "Don't you have friends to play with?"
"Yes but…" She started pushing him out before he finished.
"Then go, go, go."
"Okay." Maybe I'll go see Tina" "Yay I'm mention, let me read next." "Okay here you go."
