The Amazing Gyroball
Episode 14: The Reject Club
In the city of Elmore lies Gumball Watterson. This cat-boy had acquired "gyro power" from the freak accident two weeks ago. With this new power, he and his siblings, formed the What-The-Sons, and combat against all evil that lurks in the shadow of the fair metropolis. But, they are facing a powerful force that secretly controls the city government that is the GIGA Organization. Relentless on their hot pursuit for young geniuses and mutant youth, they are actively mobilizing the sinister grand plan for everyone in Elmore. With the small band of young heroes fighting against something that is very large and powerful, what will they do to stop this unknown horror from becoming reality? Will they need to find more friends and allies with shared secrecies? Will they be part of something bigger than their lives like a secret resistance movement? And when will Professor Psi show up and unveil more of the secrets to the small heroes? Find out more as their battle continues for the fate of their hometown.
Right now, the Watterson brothers are waiting in front of Elmore Jr. and Sr. High School. Apparently, someone called them for some reasons much like why Professor Psi supposedly gives Gumball and Darwin Saturday detention. Much like last Saturday, the brothers have awkward feelings of going to school on weekend due to nothing happening other than extracurricular, which none of them are involved with.
"Ugg…" Gumball let out an aggravated sigh. "Why are we here on school at Saturday?"
"Because," said Darwin. "Apparently we need to meet someone."
"But it's on EARLY MORNING! And nothing's going on! Not even the extracurricular is doing anything!"
"But remember the message that we got from earlier?"
Cue the trippy wavy motion of the scene. This indicates that the brothers are going to have a flashback moment.
The brothers have a flashback moment back to the Watterson's residence at late night. All four Watterson siblings gathered together in the boys' bedroom. They are all seen in their sleep wear with Gumball in red-rimmed white T-shirt and boxer, Darwin in black swim-trunk (it's because that Darwin sleeps in a flotation tank), Anais is in her one-piece pajama, and Lexy is in her pink pajama pants and white T-shirt. Everybody have a serious look on their face.
"Alright!" said Gumball. "I think that it's time for us to come clean."
"What!?" said Darwin and Anais with shock.
"About time," said Lexy.
"NOOOO…" Anais scream as she is filled with unbearable amount of fear and anxiety in her mortal fiber.
"SHUT UP!" said Nicole's voice with annoyance. "Mommy and Daddy are trying to sleep!"
"Sorry Mom!" Gumball apologized.
The siblings wait for the moment to quiet down. As soon as they hear the subtle, genuine snoring, they will resume discussion. They need to listen closely and carefully so that the parents won't butt into their secret meeting.
"Alright," said Gumball. "You know what is up and we no longer could hide it anymore."
"Do you mean that…" said Lexy.
"Yes," Gumball replied. His younger siblings peer at their older siblings with fear and anxiety, especially with Anais.
"Noo…" Anais whimpers.
Gumball lets out an aggravated sigh. "But before we were to confirm anything you wanted, you need to swear secrecy!"
"Why?" Lexy looks at her twin brother with puzzlement.
"Why don't you take a look at your younger siblings, our younger siblings?"
Lexy looks at them, whose faces are filled with fear and anxiety.
The cat-girl sighs. "So this is really a tough dilemma that you bear in your heart, brother. Alright, I promise that I will swear secrecy, even if it goes wrong."
"Even if it goes wrong?" Gumball, along with the other siblings, becomes puzzled.
"Yes. Holding secrets have very dire risks and consequences. And it may do more harm than the good that we thought it have."
"Hmm… very perceptive one like mom."
"Yep."
"I guess that you and Anais can be really great sisters if you two bond enough. Alright, I will tell you the secret that we all shared before you enter into this household."
"Alright. Let hear it out!"
"One week before you came back to us, there was an event that completely changed our lives…" Gumball is narrating the truth to Lexy as if they were all in a camping trip or slumber party, telling stories.
About half an hour have past. Gumball is finishing up the story.
"And so, you know the truth, that your siblings had become the What-The-Sons, superheroes that secretly fight crime in the shady city of Elmore. And the powerful force that is secretly controlling the city and ruining lives to fill their evil ambition is known as the GIGA Organization."
"So," said Lexy. "You're saying that it is the purportedly secret government agency that is doing shady things like forced disappearances, child abduction, unauthorized drafting, involuntary services, and many other horrible things they did to us Elmore people?"
"Yep," Gumball bluntly answered Lexy's question. "And they have some grand scheme that involves with the whole people of Elmore and possibly the entirety of the Bay Area."
"And maybe the whole world," Darwin added in.
"Oh my gosh," Lexy become shocked. "I'm sorry to hear that, especially for Anais as she is being targeted for being a child prodigy, whose existence is basically deemed 'illegal.'"
"Yeah…" Anais become disheartened that she has to live in a world that superficially deems her to be disabled, disordered, pathologically diseased, and similar adjectival words that describe her genius.
"And because that the cursed GIGA Organization keep harassing us, mostly her, we had to fight back in the form of the What-The-Sons," said Gumball.
"Hmm…" Lexy thought about it for a while. "I want in!"
"What!?" the three siblings become surprised.
"Yeah. Like Anais, I too am under hot pursuit from these bad guys. They wanted to use me for some unspecified reason and abducted me when I was in a place where I should not have been to." Lexy is referring to the North-East Strait, where she was wondering off and trying to find home. Gumball's twin had been living a rough life, but her biography remains mostly unknown due to some psychically-induced mental block of some sort. Whenever she tried to remember hard on the life before she returns to the Watterson, she gets headaches. Her headaches psychically spread to Gumball due to them being psychically connected through twin telepathy.
"Sorry," Lexy apologized to Gumball.
"No, no," said Gumball. "It's ok. And we will invite you into being part of the What-The-Sons."
"Yay!" Lexy cheered.
"But, you will need to stay back for a while due to dangers and that GIGA is no laughing matter."
"I know."
"But not enough." Gumball replied back to Lexy, informing her that she is not-quite ready for the battle against the GIGA Organization. "From here on forth, the male members of the What-The-Sons will go out on a mission and combat against the enemies while the females stay behind on our base of operation and serve as the males' mission control."
"Seriously?" said Anais with disapproving look. Lexy agrees with her little sister and also make a disapproving look at the boys.
"Yeah! You girls are the target! And it would be better to keep them safe and have them not go outside on a mission. Otherwise, they will immediately get you when they spot you."
"This is bull!" said Lexy. "You can't do this to us!"
"Oh, and what will you do about it?" asked Gumball with smug face.
"We will tell on mom that you're being discriminating against the female gender."
"Really? I will like to see you try."
The girls give the Gumball a disapproving look. But, Gumball peers into Anais' eyes, psychologically darting her with anxiety relating to the GIGA Organization. After then, the little girl gives in.
"It's safe to not argue on this matter," said Anais.
"Thank you!" said Gumball. "Now, if you girls mind, we're planning to sleep for tomorrow operation. Only boys are allowed in outside missions."
"And what missions are you planning to go to?" asked Anais.
"We need to meet the Reject Club, requiring us to bring the heroes into action."
"Right…" the girls are not so amused.
"Well… we gotta bring our gears just in case if they have something really urgent, SUPER URGENT in fact. And didn't you look at what Ocho and Bobert did last night? They used actual superpowers and may be on hot pursuit from the GIGA Organization."
The girls did recall last night, where the heroes and some volunteers beat down a very tough enemy who happened to work for the Agency.
"Alright. Well, good night." Anais left to the girls' bedroom.
"Night guys," Lexy bid good night to her brothers. "And be safe."
As the girls bid good night, the flashback montage has come to an end, returning back to the present, where Gumball and Darwin are waiting for the Reject Club with their sport bag full of necessary gears.
"Oh yeah!" said Gumball.
"And we let Lexy know about the secret and invite her into the whole thing," said Darwin.
"Yeah. Well, I figure that the dilemma will bite me hard either way. And that she knows and will feel dejected. That's why I came up with the solution."
"Yeah! The solution of gender segregation!"
"Well… it's not intentional. The enemies' targets just happen to be girls!"
As the brothers are talking to each other and making jokes from last night, the two friends have finally arrived. Bobert, the albino boy with mechanical prosthesis, and Ocho, the gamer kid in black hoodie with 8-bit spider logo, have finally come in.
"What took you guys so long!?" asked Gumball.
"Ocho was playing a MMORPG for a big all-nighter," said Bobert.
"Oh SHUT UP!" said Ocho with intensity. "You were in it yourself!"
"Fine!" Bobert complied with his more extroverted friend. "I too am in fault."
"What game were you playing?" asked Darwin.
"Elmore Craft," said Ocho plainly.
"Seriously," said Gumball with unamused face.
"What? You have a problem?" Ocho begins to act intense.
"No, no. It's just that everything is Elmore. Elmore this, Elmore that. Elmore everything. Feels like that it's basically cut off from the whole Bay Area or even the whole world."
"Hmm…" said Bobert. "You do have a valid point."
"And what happen to the half of the Reject Club?" asked Darwin.
Ocho and Bobert gasp as Darwin mentioned the word Reject Club. Even Gumball was somewhat shocked by Darwin's obliviousness.
"First rule of the Reject Club is you DO NOT talk about the REJECT CLUB," said Bobert.
"But you start talking about…"
"Second rule of the Reject Club is YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE REJECT CLUB!" Ocho yelled at Darwin.
"Hey Bobert," said Gumball. "What's the first rule again?"
"You DO NOT talk about the REJECT CLUB!" Bobert answered.
"Second rule, Bobert!" said Ocho.
"Wait what!?" Bobert becomes confused.
"You memorized the whole rules. Then after memorizing the rules, you stick with it. But, what does the second rule have to do with the first rule?" asked Gumball.
"The first rule is to not talk about the Reject Club. But the second rule also forbids me to talk about the reject club. So by stating the first rule to not talk about the Reject Club, I break the second rule of not talking about… the…" Bobert is twitching from the hard logic that he is trying to wrap his head around with. "Reject Club. To talk… or not talk about…"
As Bobert is thinking too critically onto the rules, he is spazzing out violently. While he is spazzing, he is making some weird sound effects along with being further confused. This lasts for a moment until his cybernetic prosthesis overheats and black out.
"Bobert!" Ocho cried out with worry. Then he faces Gumball. "What the heck did you do to him!?"
"Logic Bomb!" Gumball answered. Then he made the loud "BOOM" sound from his mouth along with releasing a strong punch onto a nonexistent object, meaning he just wave his fist hard into the air diagonally. After making a cool pose, he resume back to business. "Now tell us why you brought us here."
"We will do that, once we help Bobert recover his consciousness you jerk!" Ocho yelled at Gumball.
Later, the four high school students arrived at the school library; more specifically, they reserved a study room, where they all sat on a table. It is as if they are businessmen on a board meeting.
"Did you made sure that you locked the door?" asked Ocho.
"Affirmative," Bobert responded with an unusual word choice as he confirmed that the door is locked.
"And you made sure that nobody can hear this?" asked Gumball.
"Yeah…" Ocho gives a nervous response. Cue the CCTV camera being broken.
"What the freak man!" said Gumball.
"Well sorry. It's not my fault that you asked me to do something about spies."
"Alright, man. Chill!"
"Fine! Let's get back to business. At least that Darwin set down the window blinds. Right?" Gumball becomes slightly nervous.
"Right!" said Darwin as he shows the window blinds set down, blocking out everything that is occurring in the room.
Everybody sigh with relief.
"Ok. Good," said Gumball. "Now, why did you bring us here?"
"It's because…" Ocho is having a dramatic pause. "That we have real superpower and someone is after us."
"I don't get it," said Darwin. "I mean, everybody know that Bobert is super-powerful due to him having such state-of-the-art cybernetic prosthesis. And he lives a normal life."
"That was true for a moment," said Bobert. "Until my internal cyber-brain is being hacked by some assailant known as the GIGA Organization."
Gumball sips on the Styrofoam cup of water until he heard mention of the GIGA Organization. The shock of knowing that the agency is harassing people of Elmore compels him to spitting the water at Darwin's face.
"Wait what!" said Gumball with shock.
"Yeah…" said Ocho. "And while I was playing MMORPG at this one instance, I encountered some unusual players. I tried contacting them, but they released some strange energy frequency that was trying to do something weird to my body. Panicking that I was under an experimental cyber-attack, I used some weird ability of mine to basically crash my computer."
After telling the Watterson brothers his story, the gamer boy revealed his secret mutant ability, which is the manipulation of digital algorithm as if it's a real, tangible, solid substance. He creates solid holographic images, made of digits, usually found in computer: red-capped white-spotted mushroom, yellow glowing star, red brick block, and few more.
"Wow. She ain't kidding," Gumball remembers Carrie's story how she went off-town for a while, which further confirms the grand conspiracy that GIGA have for the city of Elmore.
"Who's she?" Bobert asked.
"No one important," Gumball bluntly answered. "But didn't you already have the ability to use real cheat codes during the middle school years?"
"How did you know?" asked Ocho with much seriousness.
"Umm…" Gumball become increasingly nervous as Ocho is getting increasingly intense.
"Calm down, pal," said Darwin. The merman is nervous like his older brother.
Ocho is getting intense nonetheless.
"Remember the video project we did for seventh grade?" Gumball asked.
"Yeah…" said Ocho.
"Well, I saw you doing something strange while we were working on our home video."
"So, you knew my secret earlier. I KNEW IT!"
"OH COME ON! We didn't record anything."
"Yeah we did," said Darwin.
"Not helping!" said Gumball.
"But, we deleted it after making the home project."
Then, Ocho calms down. "Well, that's good. But it is still worrisome. Some hacker could have already gotten that footage before it got deleted." Ocho is becoming paranoid of the hacker that is following him.
"Oh come on," said Gumball. "I think that you worry too much."
"YOU THINK SO! After this one incidence, I got contacted from the GIGA Organization, saying that I'm under arrest for the illegal use of superpowers. And because of that, they are spying on me, trying to make a forced disappearance out of me!" Ocho quickly becomes intense.
"Calm down buddy," said Gumball.
"Oh. I will calm down if you tell me everything you know about them! Now tell me!"
Seeing Ocho being crazy paranoid, Gumball breathes in, calming himself down as he is about to tell the truth.
"The truth is that the GIGA Organization is also harassing my family. They are after my little sister Anais."
"Hmm…" said Bobert. "Yes. Anais is the smart one amongst the Watterson. And you got a long-lost twin, named Lexy, who is somewhat involved with some crisis in the North-East Strait."
"Apparently so."
"Speaking of which, we told you guys to bring everybody with you along with everything that you have related to the unknown assailants that harasses us in secrecy."
"Said the one that…"
"Alright then!" said intense Ocho, trying to prevent Gumball from 'logic-bombing' Bobert. "We didn't bring the Egghead Brothers like you didn't bring the Watterson Sisters."
"Finally!" said Darwin. "Waiting for you guys to talk about what happen to them."
"Well, it's somewhat a complicated story," said Ocho.
"Tell us anyway!" said Gumball.
"Well… Around our freshman year in high school, we were together as a group. But one day, the Egghead Brothers, who are our best friends and the crucial half of our club, have splintered off. They decided that they should leave us as they pursue for their own thing."
"Which is…"
"They decided to run a private sleuthing team with them two alone. Apparently, the reason why the brothers started a stand-alone sleuthing is due to the alarming family news, that their uncle was involved in some criminal activities."
"It's Gentleman Egghead," Gumball covertly whispered to Darwin.
"So you actually knew about it!" said Ocho with surprise.
"Umm…"
"Come on," said Bobert. "You gotta fess up. I got lie detection feature with me." Cue his cyborg body making subtle transformation with lie detecting equipment on.
Darwin squeals for a bit with fear. But, Gumball just let an aggravated sigh with annoyance.
"Fine!" said Gumball. "We just happen to bump into some criminal."
"Truth is confirmed," said Bobert. "But you're leaving crucial information. Gentleman Egghead is a notorious criminal mastermind with profound genius intellect. He uses his genius to play sadistic games with basically anybody he takes interests in, usually law enforcement and private detectives. He takes particular likings to those who can play a 'game' with him on equally intelligent manner, which makes sense for the Egghead Brothers to take him down."
"Wow," said Gumball with amazement. "I can't believe that the Egghead Brothers have their own amazing adventure with their uncle, or rather against the uncle since he's the bad guy and they're the good guys."
"Yes. And I believe that you have similarly amazing adventures where you fight villains that haunt the fair city of Elmore. Now, tell us your secret in the most discreet manner!"
"Fine!" The brothers then drop the sport bags, filled with their superhero equipment. Some of the tools, they looted from their previous exploits. Ocho and Bobert looks at them with amazement.
"Don't do something funny," said Gumball as he reveals his secret mutant ability, being his gyro-powers. He forms a "gyro-ball" on top of his palm.
"So…" said Ocho. "You're Gyroball and Goldfishman of the What-The-Sons."
"Well…" said Gumball as he looks at Bobert. "How are you feeling?"
"Stupid," said Bobert. "I can't believe that with my advanced analytical scanning, I failed to know your secrets, although I do have high readings which I deliberately ignored in favor of human emotional satisfaction."
"Really?" asked shocked Gumball. "You have high probability chance reading?"
"Yes…"
"A word with me here Bobert?"
So the cyborg and the cat-boy left the table while Ocho and Darwin are talking about some miscellaneous stuff; presumably, Darwin is telling the rest of the story to Ocho, about the origin of the What-The-Sons, harassment from the GIGA Organization, and whatnot.
"So…" said Gumball. "You know GumBallOopsEggWobbleUnderpants of GumBaldNoWigBattleaxeNinja?"
"Yes…" said Bobert. He doesn't know where this is going.
"Well, what did you reading said about her?"
"Well… From what I know, she looks very similar to you. And she might have some relation to you since the genetic code encryption…" Bobert pauses, feeling that he made a critical error to which Gumball nervously smile.
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, man."
"That's somewhat messed-up."
"Come on! Everything that you guys deemed to be messed-up, it was all an accident."
"Right…"
"But do me a solid and never mention it to Darwin."
"Yeah… Got it." The cyborg doesn't look so amused by Gumball's secret.
"Hey!" said Ocho. "Aren't you two coming back?"
"Yeah! We're done with something."
Then, the cyborg and the cat-boy walks back to the table and resume their "board meeting."
"What were you talking about?" asked Darwin.
"Oh nothing," said Gumball. "Just talking about how cool Bobert's analysis thing is. Isn't that right Bobert?"
"Affirmative," said Bobert.
"Now that we're back to business," said Ocho as he returns the sport bags filled with stuff, back to the Watterson brothers. "We need your help to see what they are up to."
"Umm…" said Gumball. "We were already doing that before you called us in. And besides, we're just about done…"
"Oh come on!" Ocho wanted more from the meeting. "What about…"
"Your confessional, check," said Gumball as he's listing down the activities they done in the study room. "Our confessional, check. Basically, we talked about the GIGA Organization harassing the good people of Elmore. You guys got harassed; we got harassed. And we need to make a front about it."
"But how would you propose to do such a thing?" Bobert asked in a robotic manner.
"Duh, super-heroism," the cat-boy respond.
"Ok… Elaborate!"
"Adopt new superhero persona and use it as a front against our shadowy oppressors."
"In other words, become a vigilante or become rebels of some sort?" said Ocho.
"Yeah. That's pretty much it. I mean, the What-The-Sons are also on the wanted list for criminal vigilantism and 'disturbing the peace,' whatever that means. Though, 'disturbing the peace' clause is too generalized and they will be most likely to excessively use this clause along while abusing one's own authority to take anyone out for ruining their peace. I mean it isn't democratic anymore and their rule will do more harm."
"Hmm…" Bobert is thinking on this important issue. "If everything that we talked about is true, that the GIGA Organization is scheming a grand conspiracy that jeopardizes the whole city along with them abusing their authority against the common people, then someone should take immediate action."
"That is true…" Gumball agrees with Bobert's idea. More like, the cat-bot had already thought of the cyborg's idea before he convey it to others. "Then who will take them down? Local governments of the surrounding Bay cities like Elmore City Council and others? State government? Federal government?"
As Gumball is listing the possible helps down, Bobert is thinking critically on them using his advanced information processing and decision making drafted from his cyber-brain.
"That's right. There is no help. And why? It's because they are The Law, albeit the cruddy law. And don't forget that they are an independent agency, bound by their own law that they create for themselves, and that they are virtually untouchable by any known power in this country."
"The fourth branch?" Bobert answered in a somewhat confused manner.
"That's right, the power that exists outside of the traditional three branches. And they are abusing this power to enact extrajudicial acts."
"Then we got to do something!" said panicking Ocho.
"There are no ways to do so!" said Gumball with anger. "And the only way to face them is to…" The cat-boy gives himself a breath, making a dramatic pause. "BREAK THE LAW!"
The group gasps with fear, shocked by the unthinkable proposal that Gumball suggested. Not so much people would ever dare to challenge the power that be, being the purported "government agency," like the GIGA Organization.
"Why are you gasping, Darwin?" asked Gumball as he looks with mildly weird out expression at his brother. "You were part of it, remember?"
"Oh my gosh! I challenge the power!"
"But you challenge the BAD power!"
Darwin gives himself a moment to think critically about it. Actually, he's thinking as hard as he can, despite of his lack of aptitude for critical thinking. "Now, I'm confused."
Everyone let out a groan for Darwin's obliviousness.
"Just know that they're the bad guy that pushes people around!" Gumball bluntly simplified the conversation to his brother.
"Then REBEL!" Darwin responds with a deep voice.
"Not without a plan to counter their plan!" said Bobert. "Which… we don't have."
"Yeah…" said Ocho. "If anything, then it will be just thoughtless anarchy falling down on the city of Elmore if people start to make unorganized rioting. If anything, it may severely ruin the current state of Elmore, which is now ridden with lot of criminal activities and the covert authoritarian meddling of the GIGA Organization."
"So," said Bobert. "What Ocho is saying is that Elmore is in such a vulnerable, fragile state that is currently on the verge of societal collapse. And the only good solution that we have is to form an organized front that is sufficiently large in population and powerful in military might."
"Or…" said Gumball. "Form a vigilante groups and…"
"That may be practical," Bobert commented Gumball's suggestion. "But remember the fragile state of Elmore! We cannot have ourselves running loose and rioting unintelligently against the despotic power!"
"Then how the freak are we gonna save Elmore?" the cat-boy is becoming nearly as intense as Ocho was.
"That's where you guys go," said Bobert. "You need to find the ELF, the ultimate savior of our home."
"The Elf? Isn't that an analogue to some all-powerful figure that people of different backgrounds worship to and look up to whenever they're in trouble?" Gumball made a snarky remark at the cyborg, thinking that the ELF is literally a mythical pointy-eared humanoid of great power. It is unknown if Gumball is actually thinking of the actual elf from fantasy stories, or that he's being sarcastic and ironic with the cyborg's claim.
"We're being serious. The ELF is something that the GIGAs are definitely most afraid of and that they are using most of their effort to find them and destroy them."
"Them? They're using the 'they'pronoun for the ELF?"
"Yeah…"
"You know what," said Gumball. Finding that getting the help from some mythical weakness of the terrible force is rather absurd, he is about to propose an alternate solution. "I have thought of another way."
"Ok…" said Ocho. The gamer is his friend is skeptical. "Tell us then."
"Ok. We got this idea by merging our two proposals. Ours (the Watterson) is that random people of Elmore should be forming their own small vigilante groups, which we thought is more popular. But you guys suggest that everybody in the city should form a unified, organized front against the terrible regime, which sounds bit unpopular and borderline utopian, fairytale-like." The gamer and the cyborg look at the Watterson brother with slight offense for calling their idea fantastical. "But, by combining these two suggestions, we got the third way. That is to gather all the loose vigilante groups that is spread around the whole place and unified them into a single organized front against the GIGA Organization."
"That's ABSURD!" said Ocho. "Even more absurd than our previous two suggestions combined. It's more dangerous (like the Watterson's due to Elmore's fragile state) and more 'fairytale-like' (like ours, the Reject Club, due to the obscurity of the mysterious ELF)."
As the four students continue their "board meeting," Gumball hears some footsteps with his animalistic super-hearing. Darwin can somehow hear it with his mutant merman eardrums, but not as well as Gumball can. This is justified due to him being a merman that can hear much better underwater along with the fact that water serves as a better medium to sound than air. Not only do the Watterson brothers hear footsteps close by, but Bobert can pick up people coming toward them with his high-acoustic sonar that is built into his ears.
"What's going on?" asked Ocho.
"Someone's coming here," said Gumball. "Use your ability to check outside of the study room."
So, Ocho used his ability to see what's going on with in the school library. But with no avail, he saw nothing but static. This gives him a dangerous impression that the school is under attack by the hacker.
"Darn!" Ocho cursed. "I got nothing!"
The group glared at Ocho for having nothing. As the group continues to wait while hearing the footsteps with their super-hearing, they become more anxious. For every footstep they hear, every drop of sweat trickles down on their frightened face. They peer at the door with extreme caution. The footsteps had stopped, cuing that possible enemies have arrived. The door knob is shaking with struggle since the study room is locked.
As the enemy struggled to open the door, the group is becoming increasingly afraid by seconds. After a few second, the door knob finally unlocked itself, evoking fear into the boys' hearts. They huddled up tightly at the corner far away from the door. While the boys are shaking with fear, the unknown visitor is slowly opening the door, only to be revealed as Anton. The four boys become shocked that they become scared by some high school student who is minding his own business.
"Hello," said Anton in a mildly squeaky voice.
"Umm…" The group becomes confused. "Hi…"
Then suddenly, the high student explodes, appearing that he got shot by highly explosive projectile on his back. He disintegrates into nothing but dust particle. As Anton's dust cloud dissipates, the perpetrator reveals himself to be an armed soldier with what appears to be a clipboard motif on them. His opaque, light-blue visor have emoticon on it, indicating that the visor somewhat functions as a computer screen.
"Ahh…" The four boys screamed with fear.
"Ocho, Bobert!" said the foot soldier. "You're under arrest for the unauthorized use of superpower!"
"Wait a second…" said Gumball.
"Ocho and Bobert!" the foot soldier repeats himself again. "You are under arrest for unauthorized use of superpower. Please surrender yourself peacefully or I will use force on you."
Seeing that the foot soldier is too pre-occupied with the rejects, Gumball tries to sneak out and devise a plan to save them. But the same foot soldier turns his laser gun at the Watterson siblings.
"Gumball and Darwin! You're also under arrest for being affiliated with these criminal."
"Hey!" said Gumball. "They are just high school students. And we're just high school students minding on education and career planning! So…"
Bobert and Ocho glare at Gumball. Darwin glares at Gumball for his rather poor attempt to divert away from this uncomfortable situation.
"Gumball and Darwin! You're under arrest of suspicious activities!"
"Suspect this, Dumb-head!" said Gumball as he grabbed the flour bag and punch it hard, causing white cloud to cover and obscure the whole study room. Fortunately for the boys, the foot soldier cannot see through the dust cloud as his analyzing scanner cannot penetrate through it. In other words, the enemy is simply hindered by his technological limit. As the cloud disappeared, the foot soldier see the study room, clear and empty without anybody in it.
Elsewhere in the school library, the remnant of the Reject Club and the What-The-Sons brothers are waiting in another study room far away from the one they had once occupied. Yes, the What-The-Sons are with high school students. The Watterson brothers had quickly switched into the What-The-Sons, with their superhero gears set. The only people that aren't geared up are Bobert and Ocho.
"Alright!" said Gyroball. "Now that someone abruptedly pops into action, are any one of us ready for our battle?"
Everyone raised their hand up except for Ocho.
"What…" Gyroball and Goldfishman become shocked.
"Dude!" said Gyroball. "I thought that you're an intense guy with previous encounters from the GIGA Organization!"
"I did!" said Ocho defensively. "But, I never really got into real 'superhero action,' going off on the city's night curfew and doing vigilante activities."
"Then, what do you do?" asked Gyroball.
"Playing with my games," the gamer kid responds nervously.
"Ok…" the experienced combat practitioner is thinking about what to do for Ocho. "Alright. Just apply some 'combat' tactics that you learned from video game to real life."
"What!" Ocho becomes surprised.
"I agree!" said Bobert as he is already in his combat mode. "I learned my combat protocol through simulation programs."
"Great! All we need for you two to do is form an alter ego and create a vigilante group."
"Oh come on!" Ocho protests. "That's lame! It wouldn't work!"
"I disagree!" said Bobert. "The What-The-Sons' option is the only viable option for now. Using an alter ego against our enemy is the only choice we got when we have students walking around here."
Cue the students walking around the library.
"Fine!"
"I'm already in COM-BOT mode. And the brothers are the What-The-Sons. And now, it's your turn to change up!" The cyborg with a new look emphasizes the COM-BOT with electronic voice for superhero aesthetics.
"COM-BOT…" Gyroball is pondering on that word. "I like it! It have an appealing superhero aesthetics."
"Why thank you," said COM-BOT. That's the superhero alias for Bobert, who is in a new, undistinguishable combat mode. He is adorned with less bulky and sleeker armor, equipped with new weapons and gadgetry. The color of his armor becomes more jet black than plain water, indicating that he transformed.
"Ah what!" said Ocho. "You got a superhero alias already?"
"Yeah…"
"Fine!"
"Then who will you be?" asked Goldfishman.
"I will be…" Ocho left the scene for a bit and 'switch' places with 'another person' (changing into his superhero form). "GAMER_BOY!" The new hero is adorned in what appears to be a hoodie with active circuit-board design, which glows with electronic blue color. The handheld console motif appears on his chest. Two powered gauntlets, each on his arms, are equipped with generic old-schooled game control buttons and keyboard.
"Seriously…" said Gyroball.
"What?" asked GAMER_BOY.
"You ripped it off from a once popular handheld gaming console."
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Fine! But that is who I am, an intense gamer boy with the ability to bring video game elements into reality and use it in my arsenal."
"Fine! Let's go!"
A moment later, the foot soldier is harassing random bystanders that just happen to be in a wrong place. Some students become scared of the clipboard man, who is eying on everyone suspiciously. He shows a clear intent of wanting to take someone out and imprison them.
"You there!" said the foot soldier.
"Me?" asked Anton. Apparently, he survived from being blasted on his back. Or perhaps, he used his mutant ability to create a double image of himself from pure bodily energy and that his clone is the one that is destroyed.
"Yes, you! Have you found the four persons on my visor?" He used is visor to show the picture of the Reject Club (and Watterson brothers).
"No!"
"Very well then…" The foot soldier has a suspicious look. "Have I met you before?"
"No…"
"I'm certain that I blasted your behind."
"You blasted my behind!" the high school kid become shocked.
"And you surviving this means, you too have been using unauthorized use of superpower! Now, surrender yourself or be apprehended!" The soldier points his blaster in front of Anton.
"Why!" the boy cried out.
Suddenly, a red laser blasts the enemy's blaster, causing it to fly out of his grip. The enemy turns his attention to where the laser was fired. Anton used this opportunity to get out of harm's way.
As the enemy looks upward to where the laser was fired, he saw four costumed individuals: Gyroball, Goldfishman, COM-BOT, and GAMER_BOY.
"It's time to…" said GAMER_BOY.
"Du-du-du-du-dududududududuel!" said Goldfishman with deepened voice.
"No!" GAMER_BOY fired his digital fireball at Goldfishman to which he blocked it with his water shield, which he erects from his water bottle. Actually, he appears to form something that more resembles a tennis racket from his water bottle than a shield.
"What?" asked Gyroball.
"Goldfishman messed up my line!" said GAMER_BOY.
"Fine! Everybody, shut up and let GAMER_BOY finish his line!" said Gyroball.
"Thank you!" said GAMER_BOY. Then he turns to the enemy. "It's time to end your reign of terror you bully!"
"I still think that my line is awesome," Goldfishman grumbled.
"Dude. You ripped that off from this show about engaging monster fight through trading card game." Gyroball bluntly told Goldfishman off.
"What? That show is awesome!"
"Whatever. It's go time!"
So the four heroes jump down to action.
Now, the fight between the heroes and the foot soldier starts. COM-BOT uses Laser Gattling to rapid-fire multiple laser beams at the enemy. The foot soldier got his armor damaged. Then, the enemy strikes with a blaster that is mounted on his wrist. He fired few lasers, only for Gyroball to use "Gyrate Attack" technique to draw the laser into his "Gyro Ball" and used it to re-launch the enemy's attack back to his chest, inflicting major damage. With the enemy weakened, Goldfishman used all of the water in his portable container to splash onto the now vulnerable enemy, causing his armor to be on a fritz. The enemy starts to spasm out. Then, GAMER_BOY uses "Digital Streamer," a digital-version of Goldfishman's Water Jet Stream, where he gathers digital data to compile on his hand and launch it in a form of a continuous stream of energy. The enemy spasms out violently, causing his electronic components to fall apart and thus lead the team to victory. As their battle ended, the four heroes did their own victory poses with some RPG element popping out, telling them that they won experience points, prize money, and some miscellaneous items.
"Ok," said Gyroball. "Enough of this." He may be referring to the RPG gimmick that is going on in their fight, meaning that he's breaking the fourth wall.
"Enough of what?" asked Goldfishman.
"Umm… Nothing."
"Alright," said GAMER_BOY. "Now, it's time to…"
"Du-du-du-du-dududududududuel!" Goldfishman cuts the gamer off.
GAMER_BOY glared at the scuba diver.
"Sorry," said Goldfishman.
"Don't cut me off like that. It's no longer funny." After telling off the ditzy scuba diver, he continues to finish off his line. "It's time to see who brought him to the school."
As the four heroes approach to the easily defeated foe, they removed the visor, revealing the foot soldier to be nothing but an android with realistic metallic skull behind the helmet. Shocked by this revelation, they ponder on who is the culprit, only for the visor to automatically turn itself on.
"Haha!" laughs the visor.
"Who are you?" asked Gyroball. "Reveal yourself and you reason to harass innocent high school kids!"
"It is I, Net Phisher, Agent of the GIGA Organization," said the automated voice of the visor.
"Hmm… I'll just randomly guess your name. It's Tim." Gyroball bluntly answered.
"Tim!" said GAMER_BOY and COM-BOT.
"That's right!" said Net Phisher. "I was the one to be in control of wireless communication in this city. But the Rejects kept ruining my job and enjoyment as king of the internet."
"Umm… King of Elmore's Internet," Gyroball corrected him.
"But because that there are freaking hackers that is trying to usurp my position, I made contact with the GIGA Organization to make sure that I'm the boss!"
"I hope that you're trolling with us!" said Gyroball with a menacing tone.
"Hahaha… No! I knew that some of you Elmore kids are playing around with wireless technology in Elmore. And that is my job! Apparently, there is an increasing flux of 'geniuses' in this city and it's about time for the GIGA to take action!"
"What have you done FOOL!" said GAMER_BOY. "You're ruining Elmore!"
"If I can't rule over Elmore, I'll have to destroy it! Muahahaha…"
"You [bleep]!" said both Gyroball and GAMER_BOY. They actually made an electronic bleeping sound from their mouth instead of the actual curse word. It is unknown how Gyroball is able to do so; perhaps, he made some modification on his communicator which enables him to do such thing. But for GAMER_BOY, he is able to naturally do it thanks to his mutant ability.
"I hope that you [REDACTED]!" said Gumball. What he said to Net Phisher is censored, adding mystery to the situation they are in.
"Like if I care," said Net Phisher. "I have a contract with the GIGAs, saying that they will help me as long as I help them. So, they promised me that I will still continue to rule over Elmore communication and other wireless technology as long as I search for newly awakened 'geniuses' that is hiding amongst us. This is great as geniuses are what threaten my position as…"
"You being king of the internet is your narcissistic delusion! You need to stop this madness or we will use force to put an end to your little game."
"NOOO…" Net-Phisher's voice becomes more demonic. "You will not dethrone me! And if you still plan to do so, I will send the whole GIGA militia to put the city into ruins!"
"But how will you be able to do that when…"
"Hello… Master of communication and all other wireless technology in Elmore. I can use advanced satellite imaging to spot down any vigilante groups or any anti-GIGA dissidents in general and have them be 'taken care of.'"
"Then, it is I, GAMER_BOY," said GAMER_BOY.
"And COM-BOT to put a stop to you!" said COM-BOT.
"You Rejects are powerless against me!"
"That's where you're wrong," said GAMER_BOY. "Mutant ability: Live Hack!" He activates his mutant ability's full capability.
"And Satellite Survellance!" COM-BOT used his advanced information processing ability along with built-in GPS to position Net Phisher's base of operation and attack his computers.
"And now combination attack: Viral Colony Drop!" the two rejects call out their attack in unison. While COM-BOT is connecting himself with the satellite and aiming at the villain's evil lair, GAMER_BOY is using his Live Hack ability to create a digital construct of what appears to be a large UFO with a menacing skull for its face. Then, the skull-faced UFO is digitized and transferred from COM-BOT satellite connection to the satellite. After the process is complete, the satellite fires a stream of digital energy firing toward to the one spot with a skull for a face. As the attack reaches its target, eerie mixture of blue and purple energy emanates around the building, frying all technology that Net Phisher, kid supervillain, had control over.
"NOO…." The villain screamed with horror and possibly pain.
"Consider yourself to be perma-banned!" said GAMER_BOY.
"Don't think that it's over yet Rejects! I will get revenge on you for destroying my precious computers, my connections with higher powers, and…"
"You're precious throne over all of Elmore's wireless technology? Yeah… Tough luck. It's time …"
"To Du Du Du…" said Goldfishman.
"Zip it!" said GAMER_BOY with annoyance.
"Sorry. Force of habit," said Goldfishman.
"It's time for Elmore to democratize themselves in the digital realm. That means that you no longer rule as the king that you wanted to be!"
"Ahhh…" the voice screams as he is ultimately cut-off forever from Elmore's wireless communication."
"Dame!" said Gyroball. "You two just defeated a powerful foe that can easily control everything technological in Elmore. What you just defeated is like…"
"The final boss?" said COM-BOT.
"Yeah…" said Gyroball. "But despite of your first taste of super-heroism, you need to continue to train yourself and hone onto your abilities as our enemies will rise again and ruin Elmore."
"Right. And that means that you guys will have to find the mysterious ELF," said GAMER_BOY.
"Wait What?" The What-The-Sons become shocked.
"That's right. Search for the ultimate force that could finally end GIGA once for all."
"Alright…" The What-The-Sons become somewhat weird out. Gyroball resumes speaking. "But on the meanwhile, you need to work as a small vigilante group and combat against their evil forces."
"Fine…" The remnant of the Reject Club agrees.
"So…" said COM-BOT. "It all leads up to us doing each other a favor. We follow the What-The-Sons suggestion and reshape our old club into a more secretive superhero club where the Rejects will continue to serve the community that ironically rejects them, that is protecting them from a more sinister force."
"And we will be searching on the mysterious ELF. In fact, I will contact some guy that might help us with this counter-plan against the GIGA Organization's scheme," said Gyroball.
"Agreed," said the Rejects.
So, the What-The-Sons have made an alliance with another vigilante group, which is the Reject Club. With their alliance enacted to combat against the shadowy GIGA Organization, all that is left is for Gyroball to find the mysterious ELF and perhaps form a larger, more organized, unified front to take down the shadowy forces and save Elmore and its self-governance. Now, all that is left for the heroes is what will the Reject Club do as they got themselves into some crazy adventure? And what is this ELF that the Rejects are speaking? Will the What-The-Sons able to find it in time before the GIGA Organization plans something sinister? Find out more in the next episode of The Amazing Gyroball.
With the remnants of the Reject Club seen along with its transformation into its own superhero team, how do you like the episode? Are there anything I need to fix up with this project like grammar and writing conventions. Please comment me on the review box down below. And also, if you want to somehow contribute to this series like adding ideas, new characters, suggestions or anything like that, use the PM. Seriously, using PM will help a lot more.
As I said before, I have a list of ideas for new episodes to type up. So don't worry about a thing. Though, if you wish to somehow contribute your support to this series, use PM. It'll be more helpful.
But aside with talk about PM and other stuff, the character Lexy knows the secret and now takes part of it. And now, I'm working on how she contribute to the What-The-Sons. So yep, Gumball/Gyroball will still be having a big weekend full of superhero activities.
Anyway... thank you for your support and stay tune!
