The Incomplete World Of Elmore
Part 17 (5 of 9)
~Julius Oppenheimer
Like Hannibal Lector, he was bound as Frank wheeled him to the interrogation room. He untied him from the mobile chair and forced him to sit on the interrogation chair. The string on his head that I hated, his bomb head, was tied around his neck.
"Why am I in this chair?" Julius asked as he struggled to free himself.
Nicole was only looking at her notes. "I'm not taking any chances with violent delinquents, Juile," she said.
It's Julius! And why aren't you in a cage like all the other animals?" Julius asked as he watched Nicole in rage, slamming her fist on the table, causing it to break into pieces.
Frank left in a panic while Clancy remained in the room, knowing how this would end for him.
"TALK NOW, YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Nicole's eyes glowed red as she stood before him. Grabbing the bomb kid by the shirt, within her pupils, souls swirled.
"(Whine)..It was morning when I woke up," Julius says as we enter the flashback.

Juiuls is snoring loudly as His Alarm clock shook as it was above his bed. It kept shaking above his bed, moving all around, then falling and landing on his chest, waking him up with a painful groan. Enrage throws the clock at the wall breaking it.
"(still tired) Ugh, I hate that damn alarm." The bomb guy got up with a tired look in his eyes and fixed his back as he walked to the bathroom.
He slammed the door, then after a few minutes, opened it again, trying to decide whether to go downstairs for some coffee. Pictures next to the stairs showed him with his parents, his crew in detention, him and Mowdown beating up Alan, his girlfriend Debbie, and him as a much younger child with a Cyclops kid (I'm not sure who that is).
Julius was in the kitchen having some eggs Benedict and drinking his hot coffee from a mug shaped like the Holy Grail, except it has eyes and arms.
He clicked on the TV where the Elmore news anchor Kip Schlezinger a newspaper, was talking. He has the image of Gary Hughes with his cat.
"The local mailman, Gray Hegges, has died. We have more information on this tragedy, Mike."
It cuts to Mike, the microphone by the deceased's house, and then pans over to the Watterson home, which puts a haunted house to shame.
"Well, Kip, it's Gray Hedgehog, whose real name is Harry Geddes. He committed suicide by jumping off the roof of his home. The reason for this was because his witness protection cover was blown." Mike then sees someone leaving the Watterson house, which turns out to be Gumball with Aphrodite on a leash, walking away from the news people.
"Do you have anything to say about this tragedy?" Mike points his head to Gumball, who sees him blankly.
"I woke up in my room and saw him jump off the roof. That's all I remember." Gumball then leaves with a bored expression. Aphrodite attacks the newspeople after Mike tries to ask the plant, and she bites his head. The news crew screams in panic, and she attacks them with the subtitles, saying no comment.
Julius turned him off after the TV showed the turquoise cat. The same one who easily beat up him and his gang(there is an image of Gumball beating him and his crew up and leaving them in pain while screaming in agony). The kids at school have started not to take him seriously anymore. Even when he bullies them, they show no fear but only annoyance toward him.
"When I get my hands on that blue brat, I'm going to turn him into dust and then beat him up so badly that he will be talking from his rear end." The bomb guy then heard his phone ringing. The image is that of a giant pea taking a selfie on her bike with the words Debbie under it. He picks up the phone and answers it.
"Hey babe, what's going on?" Juiuls anwesing to his girlfriend.
During the call, Deebie asked him to hang out with her for Dinner at the mall. Just so you don't know or care, Dinner is a restaurant inside the Elmore Mall. He replies with a yes, saying he will be there soon, then ends the call.
"(Thinking) At least I can get my mind off that blue wuss." He doesn't know that Gumball is a rabbit/cat hybrid. So he leaves his house, gets on his bike, and starts riding to Elmore Mall.
~Meeting Deddie And Rachel At Dinner
Oddly named Dinner, the restaurant is shaped like the 50s, with some people getting milkshakes and burgers. Larry was working there wearing the uniform alongside his girlfriend Karen, unlike a woman named Karen, who wanted to speak to the manager. A giant green pea was talking to Rachel, the multicolored humanoid cloud girl, at one of the tables in the diner with Julius drinking a Butter Pecan milkshake, looking bored.
"So, how are things, Rach"? Debbie asked her whole, drinking her cup.
"It was amazing. Yesterday I got that new album by that new idol singer Judah the Mermaid that came out two days ago. " Rachel.
"No way I heard getting one of her albums was hard to find." Debbie.
"I know, right I got it after Clare stormed off at the mall saying her lil bro called her about a ghost." Rachel.
"Wiat she has a little brother?" Debbie confused.
"No, that's the nickname she called Gumball," Rachel answers, with Julius spitting out his shake.
"WHAT!?" The bomb turns his head to see the two girls.
"You know Clare, the mopey girl from our class? She told me she was hanging out with her friends at the cafe." Rachel.
"What friends?" Julius asked.
"You know those kids from a grade below us in the same class as Gumball- the emo freak, the creepy flying eyeball, the short-tempered block spider with the three butts, and the hot dog guy from our class at the cafe?" Rachel answered.
Does that Mini Nicole have a gang? After learning this information, he imagined Gumball, Claire, William, Darrell, and Ocho as Team Bucciarati, with Claire, dressed like Bruno Bucciarati, Carrie as Leone Abbacchio, Ocho as Pannacotta Fugo, William as Narancia Ghirga, Darrel as Guido Mista, and Gumball as Giorno Giovanna all in black and white.
"To think that group of oddballs manage to come together after a few weeks ago." Debbie
"Though Clare has been less of a grump since two weeks ago. Plus, I heard from Clare told me something about the block kid with six butts taking the cat and Hot Dog Guy golfing with his uncle Mario."
"The Mario?" Juilis
"No, not that Mario, but he has a plumbing business with his brother, who is also his son."
Debbie and Juiuls looked confused, with Rachel unsure as well.
Yeah, I don't know how that works either." Rachel then takes a sip from her drink.
Julius thinks of an idea after hearing about the golf place. He smiles sinisterly as he thinks of his plan. Debbie and Rachel look at him, and he turns to see them after Debbie coughs to get his attention.
"Oh... Nothing, just a joke I heard yesterday... Love you, babe." He pecks her lips, and she does the same with him.
"Love you too, Julie," Debbie told the bomb guy.
"I... I have to go use the restroom," Julius says, "those chili dogs I had earlier are kicking my ass." He runs to the bathroom while Debbie and Rachel get distracted by a live concert on the TV featuring a hologram of Judah the Mermaid.
After taking a dump, he exited the diner to summon his Stand, Fear the Reaper, which resembled a World War II fighter plane called the Enola Gay.
"Go to the Elmore Golf Course," Julius ordered the mini plane as it went off in the distance. A scouter squid with a radar appeared on his face, and he cracked a smile. After a few minutes of waiting, he found his targets.
"Excellent. Now I need to narrow the sonar to just one target." He sees four dots on the sonar, two far apart from each other and two close together. He then adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar to pick up on the targets with the lowest breathing patterns.
"FIRE!" He pressed his hand as if he were dropping a bomb. After that, one of the dots disappeared, thinking Gumball had been killed; Fear the Reaper returned.
So long, Watterson. The goldfish will be joining you in hell very soon. He walks away back into the diner with Debbie alone and sees her boyfriend looks delighted.
Debbie said, "You took a while."
"Well, I... had to drop a bomb in the bathroom," said Julius, checking with Debbie, who looked at him, slightly annoyed. She rolled her eyes, slapped him for that dumb joke, and continued talking to him as they left for lunch.
~Encounter With Loki
After a while, Debbie left, but not before thanking him for the food and kissing him goodbye as she drove away on her bike. He began to whistle the Steamboat Willie tune while walking down the street. Surprised, he opened his eyes and saw that the goldfish Loki was talking to something with Scythe, Cupcake, and Mowdown.
Julius gets furious and then runs towards them, looking at Loki fiercely. He grabs the goldfish and shoves it into a wall. Loki has a smug expression, but his pupils are not looking at him as Julius looks at him.
"What's the big idea, you derp-eyed tadpole?" Julius gets a hand poking him on the back and turns his head to see his old gang glaring at him.
"What are you idiots doing hanging out with this freak? He killed Reaper." Julius rants.
"What a talking about Reapers right behind us. " Cupcake says this as the trio scoots to reveal the "dead" Reaper. This shocks Julius who drops Loki.
"WHAT!? HOW ARE YOU ALIVE YOU GOT CHOPPED UO, THEN GOT YOUR REMAINS SENT TO MY HOUSE!? " Julisi said in shock.
"Oh, that, that was some other guy. I just went on "vacation" with the folks. " Reaper saying this.
"Yeah, man, that probably was a mannequin or some dummy that got shipped to us. " Scythe nonchalantly said this while giving Reaper a high five.
"To answer your question, the little fish asked us to do a job for him and be his bodyguards for the week. If you go on a mess with him, you're going to have to get through us. " Mowdown puts his fists together, intending to fight him. He glares at them with his fuse getting smaller.
When I'm done with these fish, I will make you have a whistling hole in your ass." He charged at the teens, but then as if time had skipped, Julius was dogpiled by all four former gang members while Loki snapped his fins at them.
They all got off Julius, except for Mowdown, who pinned him down. Julius was forced to look at the goldfish, whose expression had changed to a bored look and whose eyes were fixed directly at the angry Julius.
"(Seriously) Just to clarify, Jewels. I'm the top dog in this town. So if you try to do anything bad… tons of people from the school will beat you down. (Cheerfully) Got it." Loki said with a twisted smile, his voice changing from threatening to cheerful as he spoke.
Okay, let him go, Philip," Loki ordered Mowdown, who looked furious that he had used his real name and let Julius go.
"I don't see why you are wasting time with little old me when that Blue Cat and his cronies are at the hospital licking their wounds?" He smirks as Julius hears this.
"I killed that stupid kid with the big head!" The bomb shouted.
"No... You just killed some giant blue guy shouting about "nobody can beat him" and that he almost killed you if it weren't for you saving his sorry turquoise bum. Here is the proof if you don't believe me." Loki holds up Luft's severed head while wearing the face of a jack o lantern.
Julius was furious at this news and tried to attack the goldfish, but Loki's roundhouse kicked him in the gut, sending him to the garbage dumpster. When he tried to get out, the lid fell on top of him and hit him on the head, knocking him back into the dumpster.
They all laugh at this and start to walk away, leaving Julius behind. Realizing that he just saved Gumball's life, his fuse goes off in a rage, and he explodes, taking the dumpster and wall behind him.
~Elmore Hospital
A few seconds later, Julius was hiding behind a wall, waiting. He peeked out to see Carmen walking outside with Ocho shouting at her, along with Darrel and Carrie.
"(In Thought) Great, it's those losers and that former Donella de Fuego. What the hell did that pussy do to her? It's like she's now a pathetic dork like the rest."
He continues to watch as they talk to each other, with Carrie looking shocked when she looks at the mirror, the hot dog and Ocho arguing, and Carmen having a headache. Then four other guys so up at the hospital. They have a small banter until the four who arrive transform into androids. Carmen runs away riding a motorcycle as a lighter covered in flames chases after her. In a flash, the hot dog disappears along with the walking flashlight, then the ghost and the speedster vanish, leaving only the drill and the spider remaining until Ocho gets mad and flings the drill man to the other side of the town with a twinkle in the sky.
Now's my chance to finish him off," he thought. Seeing the opportunity in front of him, Julius then decided to take his moment of strike. He summoned Fear the Reaper and had it fly toward where Gumball was. He pressed a button, causing the robot to fire a bomb that would cause an explosion that would destroy the room, except for the door, which was bombproof.
Outside the hospital, the doctors and staff were running away in a panic, bringing some of the patients out. Next to a wall, Julius was seen smiling while laughing maniacally.
"Yes! I've finally killed that blue bozo!" He laughed above him and saw a figure in the shadows with glowing red eyes. Then, she slammed her foot to the top of his head, creating a crater as he got his head slammed to the ground.
"WHAT?! He can even surpass a bomb?! HOW DOES THAT WORK?!" Julius got up to see Aphrodite, who appeared on the scene with blood-red eyes glaring at the bomb. She had some burns, but it was hard to tell if they were from the fire or if she was seething with rage.
"What the hell is that THING?!" Julius
Aphrodite: "You harmed...master".
"[sighs] Do you know how little that narrows it down?" Julius
The rat plants get angry and stand on all fours like animals..."Bomb...Killed...Niko...Las."
Good! That's what he gets for putting me in the hospital! Besides, what are you going to do? Bite me to death?" said Julius.
She opens her jaws and hisses with her lower jaw open."Yes..." Aphrodite then lunges toward the bomb guy.
Julius rolls his eyes. "Please." He summons Fear the Reaper, who unleashes another bomb that hits Aphrodite's mouth, causing an explosion that also pushes Julius back due to how close he is to the bomb.
He got back up while trying to get some dirt off of himself.
Smugly, he says, "The stupid rat didn't stand a chance against me." (A shadow forms into a fist and punches him.) He stumbles backward, screaming as his teeth crack from the force of the blow.
"Oh, what the heck?" Julius turns to see the rat girl glaring at him with smoke coming out of her mouth, massive shadows surrounding her with multiple eyes and teeth inside the clouds, and a glowing red symbol Α forming on her forehead.
~Fear The Hunger
"No matter, I'll just send you to hell like I did with that blue loser who made a fool outta me." Julius then summons Fear the Reaper as a scouter form on the side of his head, with the fuse on the top of his head starting to light.
Aphrodite growls, her rage growing after he insulted Nicolas for the final time. She then shouts the Stand's name as the shadows charge the bomb and his small plane.
"HUNGER!" Aphrodite charges at Julius, who sends the plane to intercept her. The shadows continue to strike the aircraft as it flies towards the rat plant hybrid.
The plane continues to dodge the shadow's strikes as it closes in on Aphrodite and fires bullets that hit the rat, but she is so much in rage over losing Gumball she barely feels any of them. As she closes in, he fires the bomb, but Aphrodite uses the plane itself as a jumping pad to reach Julius, who tries to land a punch. Still, she uses her long arms to swing across his arm, bites his head off, swings around his body, then tosses the bomb at him like a rag doll before slamming him into the wall.
Then she throws him to the ground and pins him down with her shadows, tearing him savagely and beating him to a pulp. As he tries to fight back against her, she rapidly hits him with her long arms, bites him with her fangs, and scratches him with her shadows. You can hear him screaming at the top of his lungs, begging her to stop.
"(In Pain and also Screaming) No, Stop, Please, I beg of you, You Win, You Win, I Give Up, Ow ." Julius is still getting punched by the rat plant. The rat has none of this, begging for Mercy as he didn't show to Nicolas being blown up. She starts to choke him with her large hands as her eyes glare at him.
"Mercy...For... WEAK!" Aphrodite's jaws open wide, with her lower jaw splitting open as she puts her head around the bully's face to eat his head off.
Then the sound of a flash is heard. Aphrodite turns her head after spitting Julius' face to see Carrie, who was with four other people earlier today. Though her eyes grew more comprehensive, it was something out of emotion she didn't think of when she saw a certain turquoise Cabbit in Carrie's arms.
"NICOKLAS"! Seeing Nikolas is alive, she stops punching him and then jumps off Julius, but her feet land on his family jewels, causing the bully to squeal as he covers his groin and screams like a little girl in pain curled up in the fetal position.
~ This Is Just Not My Day
The bomb guy, after coughing up some blood, then sees the rat plant with those five losers who hang out with that blue cat he killed along with the same blue feline that...
"How often do I have to kill the same goddamn cat?" He shouted while watching Gumball get his face licked by the rat-like Aphrodite. Darrel and Carrie looked beaten up as they had just fought with the weirdos dressed in cosplay.
(Muffled voice) "WHY won't you die?!" Julius, who had gotten up with Gumball, Carrie, and Darwin, noticed how badly beaten up the bomb guy was.
"How'd he get so beaten up?" Gumball turns to them, but they don't have answers.
"That stupid pet of yours pounced on me!" Julius pointed to Aphrodite, who hissed at him.
"Julie...Blew...room...up...with...tiny...plane." Aphrodite.
"It's Julius, you brat!" Julius is yelling, causing his temper to grow shorter and shorter until it almost ignites his head.
"Great, now this loser has a stand." - Carrie.
"Loser!" Juiul shouted in his head.
"Exactly how many people in our school have a pet?" Gumball asks.
Well, besides me, Carrie, William, Clare, Harry, and those guys who tried to kill us, it's most likely that everyone in our school has a stake in this. Darrel answered with an annoyed look.
"Wait, Carrie has a stand?" Gumball looked a bit curiously as he looked at Carrie.
"Stan?" Aphrodite tilts her head.
Carrie said, "I'll try to explain that one later."
Gumball looked at him curiously. "I kinda have one, too," he said.
"Wait, what? When did that happen?" Darrel was curious as the four ignored Julius, who looked dumbfounded, which got him even angrier.
(In thought) These morons are ignoring me. I'm the head honcho of Elmore Jr. High. I'm not supposed to be considered a loser until I hit my forties and end up working in a dead-end desk job. His hands clenched in anger as the fuse on my temper got shorter.
"Will you idiots shut up!" Julius shouted, getting their attention.
"(Furious) I've had enough of this! I will not be humiliated again by that blue cat and his abomination of a pet. Along with those losers who keep hanging out with him!" He points at the people in front of him who are not amused or caring about his meltdown.
"Harsh," Darrel said, his expression one of annoyance.
Julius summons Fear the Reaper by spreading his arms vertically, and the small plane appears. The expressions on the faces of those in front of the bomb change from bored to fearful; Aphrodite's stance becomes hissing, while Gumball's expression changes from calm to his eyes widening in surprise.
"That's right, the look on your faces I wanted to see, now blown them to smithereens," said Julius. "Fear me!" he added, feeling something off, then suddenly engulfed in flames as his back started to burn.
(In thought) Why does it feel like my back is being cooked on a grill? He turns his head to see someone the same size as him wearing Aztec clothing, looking like a cactus with red lines across her body and her face like a jack-o-lantern with fangs inside.
"What the hell do you want, Scarecrow?" Julius asked, his voice shaking as he tried to pull away from her grip on his neck. "Can't you see I'm busy trying to" The Scarecrow grabbed him even tighter, forcing him to face her? She whispered in his ear.
"Silencio, insignificant idiota." She lets go of his throat and then kicks him in the face sending him flying. Julius began to scream in rage as the fuse of his head exploded, making it look like a firework going off.
After a few seconds in the air, he started to fall but continued to get up due to the fighting below, like a volleyball. Finally, after a few seconds, Julius, covered in bruises and bite marks and with burns on his face, fell from the sky and landed on the car's hood, causing damage. He could only utter a weak moan as Doc stood before him, holding Gumball and Carmen glaring at him.
"...Ugh...shite". Julius falls unconscious with a thud, and Doc grabs him by the legs and drags his body to the back of her car.
[Art Style Returns To Normal]
"After that, I woke up in jail next to those losers and that dork Carmen." He was still handcuffed but managed to escape them while telling me his story."
Nicole asked, "So, about the goldfish?"
"I think he made a clone or a robot of Reaper 'cause I saw his corpse chopped into pieces." Julius thinks of Loki, who still has his slasher smile on his face.
You are still charged with property damage, so you must do community service for three months and two weeks in juvie.
"Aw crap !" Julius grumbled as the police took him away.
Nicole ordered the cops, "Bring in the next kid."
"Isn't he one of those kids known to have a short fuse, Doc?" Clancy asked.
"Who doesn't in that crappy rundown school full of freaks?" Nicole is not caring.
"Isn't your kid part of that school? " Clancy asked her.
Nicole doesn't answer as she continues to write in the notebook and draws an image of Gumball with X's replacing his eyes.
