Sorry for the delay, I was sorting out some things.
Very fast.
He was going very fast.
He felt his legs wobble.
They were so light.
This showed his speed.
Because everything was so slow.
But there was no floor.
He was in the air.
He was flying in the air.
There was a lot to see wherever I went.
He only saw that in front of him.
Almost nothing.
Because his eyes pulsed.
The corners of the eyes were blurred.
His ears were also throbbing.
He could barely hear his own mouth panting.
And it hurt.
His chest hurt.
His lungs hurt.
His ribcage hurt.
He was cold.
His skin froze.
He couldn't feel his hands.
I felt ants.
walking through your arms.
But he felt weight.
He looked down.
A small ball.
It was Elmore.
On the other side of the, glass perhaps?, the citizens of Elmore stared glazedly towards Gumball's front.
But as Gumball was at high speed, they only saw strange colors and lights pass by very quickly and disappear soon after, looking like classic space travel scenes from the movies.
"What's going on?! It feels like I'm watching Star Odyssey!", a big red pot of tea exclaimed irritably, as if he were a movie buff.
Colin, the nerd egg with glasses, heard his complaint and decided to comment, "Actually, sir, what we are witnessing is none other than-".
He was interrupted when teapot turned around irritably with a finger in his mouth, "Ssshhh, no spoilers!", and looked back at the scene.
He sighed, "Ugh, the problem with there being geniuses is that it means most of them are idiots".
Among the town's citizens, the Wattersons and the Fitzgeralds were the only ones who looked up.
Except Richard, he was fascinated by the scene in front of him, after all he wore a gold bikini under his wedding suit because he loves space adventures.
They looked up worried and surprised, apparently no one else cared how Gumball was panting loudly and with difficulty.
Or how your lung expanded and shrank very quickly.
Or how his gaze seemed so paranoid, attentive and terrified when he looked at the ball in his hands.
The vision of his frightened face faded as something covered the sky with the sound of water hitting glass.
It looked like a drop of water, but because it was so big to them, they could see that there was something in the water.
They looked confused and let out an "Ah?" in unison, which caught Richard's attention and made him look in the same direction, also confused.
"Is that saliva?", Darwin asked.
Anais put her hand on her forehead to get a better look, "It's a lot of liquid, it looks like...sweat?".
The attention of the two families went to where all the citizens looked when another dripping sound appeared.
And it really was a drop of sweat, it fell right in front and was sliding very slowly.
Near the Fitzgeralds there was also someone complaining, "WHAT?! I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!".
But then, the sky darkened into brown, the bead of sweat disappearing as soon as it happened.
Then the sky changed to get brighter just as quickly as when it got dark.
And it got dark again and brighter just as quickly, over and over again.
Very similar to Jojo's Made in Heaven.
The speed of it prevented anyone from understanding what was happening.
And it also made several people fall dizzy, lose their balance a little or even have their eyes hurt from so much visual stimulation.
He looked ahead.
He didn't see anything coming.
He hit something.
He hit hard.
No.
It was your legs.
But it didn't hurt.
They were light.
They were weak.
The weight disappeared from his hands.
The ball fell.
She rolled across the floor.
He saw her upside down.
He was also rolling.
His body rubbed against the earth.
Your arms.
Your head.
Your back.
But he couldn't fight.
Just scroll.
It was several meters.
Just scrolling until it stops.
The ball also stopped.
The floor felt strange.
I was in heaven.
He was upside down.
The agitation made him want to get up.
His arms rubbed against the floor.
He couldn't get up.
It looked like a turtle.
He used his neck.
He pressed his head to the floor.
He managed to get up.
It still wasn't good.
It was still not safe.
He tried to stand up.
He only managed to crawl.
Limbs rubbing and slipping.
Throwing dirt back.
Inside the crystal ball, the citizens were recovering from whatever happened.
They would stand up, hold their knees or rub their eyes.
A hot dog man rubbed his eyes with one hand and his sunglasses in the other.
He turned to the hot dog guy, "Hey man," the hot dog guy turned to him.
"My eyes feel okay? They're burning pretty bad", he took his fingers out of his eyes and the hot dog guy opened his mouth in horror.
The sclerae of his eyes were as red as blood and his veins seemed to bulge out of his eyeball.
The hot dog guy quickly covered his horror with a nervous, fake smile, "T-they're great!".
The Wattersons and Fitzgeralds continued to look on, seeing him in a pitiful and desperate state.
Patrick had walked close enough to the front door to talk to his daughter without having to shout.
"Um, Penny? Is this...a normal Gumball thing?", he pointed out.
His wife glared at him for the tenth time in as many hours, "Is this your way of showing concern?".
"But I'm still worried, isn't that what matters?", he raised an eyebrow.
Penny replied oblivious to her parents' conversation, "No, it's not", her eyes were filled with concern.
Her mother dropped the conversation and placed her hand on her daughter's back. They rewatched the Gumball scene.
He walked a few meters.
He found something.
A stone.
He rubbed himself against her.
Climbing up until your back is against it.
He placed his arms open over her.
His chest still hurt.
His mouth was still panting.
His eyes still watched everything.
He still wasn't sure.
He closed his eyes.
He saw it.
That monster.
Staring at him furiously.
He opened his eyes with a soft scream.
He closed them again.
He saw that kick.
His cheek bothered him a little.
He opened them with another soft cry.
But it was louder.
Closed eyes were not safe.
He looked at every piece of land.
He looked at the floor.
To the ball.
Nothing was safe.
His family looked at him with concern.
"That's weird", Darwin said, "Seeing Gumball like that, it's weird".
Richard commented, "Yeah, he's usually running instead of freezing".
Anais agreed, "Well, he can't stop himself from having a panic attack".
Nicole got involved, "I wanted to be there to help".
Then the ground they were standing on was covered by a large shadow.
They looked up and saw something big, so big that it covered the entire sky and prevented them from knowing what it was.
The great shadow soon covered all of Elmore.
The echo of a voice was heard in the distance, "Why does the night keep getting dark?!".
He saw something.
A piece of land.
Floating slowly.
Over it.
It was a little far away.
And upside down.
A sound in the earth alerted him.
He saw the ball move.
She lifted off the ground a little.
But it fell and rolled again.
I was leaving.
His eyes widened even more.
He threw himself off the rock.
Behind the ball.
She was slow.
Him too.
But he can reach her.
Since the ball was moving slowly, citizens were ableto see the situation better.
One of them put his hand on his forehead and squinted, "Is that a cliff up front?".
Several also squinted and saw the end of the floor as it became lighter.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Then the madness like before starts again, but this time everyone was running away and screaming.
Alison was holding Gary Hedges' hands, "I think ending our engagement was a mistake, let's get married again!".
Gary looked at her confused, "But I don't even love you".
Bobert, who was inside the house, watched everything through the window.
He climbed out of the window and held on to a wall, "Start survival mode".
Outside, his house was folding and shrinking into a nuclear bunker.
She then sank to the ground and metal doors closed soon after.
Clayton was in the middle of the street along with other citizens when he made his decision, "Initiate survival mode!".
His body turned into a cockroach and he flew away.
At the Wattersons, a man approached shyly, "Hey, I'm sorry, but can I buy your kids?".
This made Nicole breathe orange fire out of her mouth, "WHAT?!".
The man scratched his head, "Well, I've never had children, but I've always wanted one, could I give it a chance before the world ends?".
The fire in Nicole's mouth turned from orange to blue.
Richard stepped between them, "Don't worry, honey, I've got this".
This made the fire in Nicole's mouth go away.
Richard looked at the man with a thousand-yard stare, "If you buy them, do you guarantee me that you will give them a quality education and a decent home?".
The man looked confused, "The world is going to end soon, but it's okay, I promise".
Richard turned proudly to his family, but the three of them smacked their foreheads.
This made Richard feel down.
At the Fitzgeralds' residence, many people ran through the yard, Patrick was ready to hit anyone.
But without him realizing it, a woman grabbed him from behind and screamed in drama, "LET'S DIEEEEE!".
He was furious and opened his arms to free himself.
He then grabbed the woman by the shoulders and shouted at her, "CALM DOWN!".
Then many citizens choked, which caught the attention of others who also choked later.
The vision of the cliff appeared again, but now it was right in front of them.
All I had to do was scroll a little more and that was it.
But that never happened.
They simply stopped facing the cliff, which left many confused.
Someone then shouted, "LOOK!".
Those who were close to the person followed his raised arm and the others looked until they saw it too.
It was a claw, with the tip touching the sky.
They followed with their eyes until they saw that it was Gumball, with his entire body lying on the ground and only the finger with the export claw raised.
He pulled the ball a little.
Far from the cliff.
Then he released her.
He put away his claw.
He forced his arms to the floor.
He forced his legs to the floor.
He got up.
Slowly.
But he managed to stay on his feet.
He bent down and caught the ball.
He held her with both hands and looked at her.
He dropped his ass to the floor.
His chest started to hurt less.
His mouth was getting tired.
His eyes calmed.
They were safe.
He was safe.
For now.
His breathing slowed to normal tiredness, his eyes closed a little and he even regained feeling in his body.
And it was this feeling of feeling his body again that made him fall back to the floor with open arms.
His body began to feel exhausted, as he panted heavily to complain, "Man, I feel horrible".
He placed his free hand where your diaphragm is, "I don't want to imagine what I must be like inside".
His body then underwent an x-ray effect, where it was possible to see his organs in color.
His kidneys, liver and entire digestive system had smiling faces.
Liver: "So much blood, so many nutrients!".
Kidneys:"There is so much oxygen available!".
Digestive system: "I've never worked so well before!".
The x-ray view went up to where the diaphragm, lungs and heart were.
Everyone had tense and scared faces as they acted with great effort.
"WE'RE GOING TO DIE!", they shouted in unison.
The x-ray vision faded and returned to Gumball, who had a queasy look at his internal discomfort.
He turned his head and looked at the crystal ball in his other hand containing Elmore in it.
He looked at her thoughtfully.
In Elmore, an elderly pink cupcake said surly, "Now can someone explain to me what this is all about?".
Mr Small appeared shouting and gesturing dramatically, which caught everyone's attention.
"This is the end of times!", he appeared in the sky where it was still possible to see the horizon of statistics, "This statistics means that we are where all the errors in the world end up!".
He put his hands over his face dramatically, "WE HAVE BECOME MISTAKES!"
Everyone watching him was stoic, one of the people raised his hand, "What does that mean?".
He took a deep breath and did his best dramatic effect, "We're stuck here, forever!"
Everyone was silent.
Then they screamed wildly at the same time, their arms waving like ribbons.
They went back to running in random directions in panic.
The Fitzgeralds saw the situation from afar.
"I think we should look for the Wattersons", Judith commented to her husband.
He said out of the corner of his mouth, "Go to the car".
Penny picked up her mother, who took Polly in her arms, and lowered them through the window, hovering with difficulty but successfully, to the floor.
Patrick went inside the house and came back quickly enough to get into the car right after the girls.
He dropped the rake near the manual gearbox, his wife staring at him for explanations.
"Precaution", was all he said.
The car left the sidewalk and drove down the street, honking at people to make way.
Across town, people surrounded the Wattersons again, but now the family was no longer in a defensive position.
"Can you stop blaming my family for everything?!", Nicole said firmly with her hands on her hips.
"It would be easier if your family wasn't to blame for everything!", someone in the crowd said.
Anais tried to sort things out, "You're blaming us because causing trouble is what we're known for, you're the same one who thinks all Turks know how to do the ice cream trick because it makes them famous".
Another person in the crowd pointed a finger at her, "I didn't understand anything you said!".
She sighed and tapped her forehead, "I didn't realize that most of the people here are too old to know about things on the Internet".
A loud sound caught everyone's attention, including the Fitzgeralds, but Patrick had to keep his eye on the street after almost running over someone.
Gumball was getting up to sit back down, supporting himself with his elbows.
He held the crystal ball with both hands, facing him.
He looked at it from different sides, at the top there was Elmore and at the bottom it was probably just the city's soil. It was something very similar to a snow globe, but without a support base.
The size of the image allowed him to see the houses and streets, but not enough detail to recognize his neighborhood.
"Can I see someone?", he brought the crystal ball closer to his face, squinted a little and strained with the muscles in his face. As if that changed anything.
The veins in his eyes started to become more visible and he also started to see a little better.
So he kept pushing, his vision improving as his veins thickened.
But his vision quality stagnated when his veins were so thick that they looked like they had come out of his eyes.
He kept pushing anyway.
His vision was not improving and the veins in his head also thickened.
One of them formed a small, more swollen, ball-shaped part.
Before this ball grew, its eyes popped out of their sockets, hanging by red threads.
Having his eyes like that made him have to hit the ground with his hand until he found his tail, which he pulled and put his eyes back on. All of his veins softened in the process.
He placed a hand on his hip, "Damn, apparently being in front of the computer really ruined my-".
He convulsed out of nowhere, his eyes turning white as he convulsed wildly.
The convulsion soon stopped and his head fell back, almost as if he were dead.
Everyone gasped heavily in fright.
His head snapped up and he let out a sigh of relief.
He blinked in confusion, "What happened?".
He was silent for a moment and shook his head.
He stared at the ball contemplatively, "Can they notice me?".
He tapped the ball a few times with the finger of his free hand.
This caused Elmore to be hit by a strong earthquake, with the screen shaking, cars shaking on their suspensions and almost overturning and everyone opening their arms to avoid falling. In addition to the sound of various things falling and breaking coming from inside the houses.
He stopped and stared at the ball, waiting for something to happen. But it didn't happen.
He was disappointed and brought his mouth closer to the ball, "Hey", he said normally.
The shaking in Elmore stopped for everyone to see Gumball's chin in front of everything. They looked like those photos taken below chin level.
Again no response. He now became grumpy about this situation.
"HEY!", he said forcefully.
The volume of his voice became so loud because of the strange situation just now that everyone had to put their hands over their ears immediately. Still, everyone felt a strong ringing in their ears.
His voice was so loud that it broke several windows, of cars and houses, violently.
One car window in particular shattered into a decently large, sharp piece that hit a milk carton.
The impact threw him backwards and ended up falling to the ground while milk gushed from inside him.
Soon the milk began to slowly leak and the living box lay unconscious on the floor.
Anais yelled at Gumball once the ringing in her ears went away, "GUMBALL! USE YOUR PEANUT BRAIN FOR ONCE!".
The screen moved away from Elmore just as Anais spoke, but she couldn't be heard.
After this attempt, Gumball took a deep breath and sighed in defeat.
"I think I'm alone", he looked at the ball in his hands dejectedly.
He looked up and watched the chunks of earth in his field of vision float motionlessly into place.
"But what do I do now?".
Everything became quiet.
"I think this is the first time in a long time that I've had a problem like this on my own", he slowly waved his hands to get the ball rolling in little time.
"Darwin would be a good help right now, even though he was probably mad at me".
This caught the attention of the orange fish, who looked at Gumball with some regret.
Gumball began to act with his hands, "He would say "See what happens when you irritate others, Gumball!"", he imitated his brother's voice perfectly.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do the victory dance, because I was right!". He made dance moves of raising his arms and lowering them and raising his legs several times.
Darwin watched this with an uncomfortable smile, "Yeah, I would do that".
He stopped the dance with his arms raised and his eyes wide.
"Wait...I know exactly what he would do! I can be Darwin!".
He stood up and walked away from the edge, where he dropped the ball on the ground near him.
He coughed a little and blinked his eyes until they looked like cute stars.
The stars disappeared and he was his normal self, "Well, what do you think we should do?".
He straightened his voice and put an innocent smile on his face, his hand on his chin as he thought.
"We are in a strange environment, so we need to think about survival strategies".
He wiped the smile off his face, "You're right, and who's the best person to think of a plan?".
He put his smile back on, "Anais!".
He squeezed his torso, somehow, making him shrink until he was the same height as his sister.
He adjusted for her voice too, "Do you remember the Boy Scout rules of survival?".
He returned to normal and tried to remember the time he went to camp.
His memory consisted of the image of him dressed as a Boy Scout shouting angrily, "I DON'T LIKE LEARNING!".
"Eeeehhh, I remember giving up," he shrugged.
In his Anais form, he sighed grouchily.
Everyone in Elmore continued to watch Gumball's situation, now embarrassed by the current situation.
"This is... hard to watch", one person said with a nervous face.
"At least it can't be worse than this guy", someone pointed to Josh, who was nearby.
This clearly offended him, "Hey! Just because you don't believe in my God doesn't mean he's imaginary!".
He cringed at a photo of a realistic Amazonian horned frog, "Don't worry, Kratok, when you arrive, everyone will understand".
The screen returned to showing the outside, at the same moment it had stopped, with Gumball in his imitation of Anais.
"Well, the basic rules for survival are: Reconnaissance of the area, finding food sources and seeking shelter".
He returned to normal and placed his hands on his hips, "Okay, let's begin".
He turned towards the statistical horizon with chunks of land floating motionless.
He went into Darwin mode, "Huh, this place looks too big to map".
He went into Anais mode, "So let's forget about recognition, now let's focus on the food. If this place has the world's faults, there must be some food that ended up here".
Gumball returned to normal and picked up the crystal ball from the ground.
He held her tight and moved closer to the edge again.
He looked down and was a little scared.
He walked backwards so he had road to run, "Okay, remember what it was like last time, it's like being in a dream".
His expression fell, "A very real and painful dream".
He shook his head, "Forget it, it's like being on the moon but you breathe".
He put one leg back.
He ran.
Not so fast, but with visible effort.
As soon as his foot was over the edge, he jumped.
He was now floating in mid-air with almost zero gravitational effect.
He will stay like this in the air until he reaches the other piece of land in front of him.
He made the mistake of looking down and was startled when he didn't see any land below.
He grabbed the crystal ball in a hug.
The piece of land in front was getting close, soon he was going to land.
But then he started to descend.
The momentum was running out and he might not make it.
He was very close, if he makes a mistake, he could fall to who knows where.
His expression became nervous and he shook his legs.
The people of Elmore were not hopeful, "He won't make it!".
Someone put their hands on their face in despair, someone else was eating their own nails.
With the Fitzgeralds, Penny and Judith looked terrified while Polly covered her own eyes, even though she didn't really understand why.
He started screaming when he was about to reach him.
"aaaaAAAAAAHH".
His feet hit the ground, he turned them to brake, a bit of dust kicking up behind him.
He stopped with a swing, almost covering the crystal ball with his body in fear.
He stood up and saw the ground that distanced him from the edge. That gave him a smile.
Elmore, everyone went from nervous to silently shocked, then to screaming wildly in celebration like it was the SuperBowl.
The Watterson family breathed a sigh of relief as the Fitzgeralds celebrated in the car.
Penny hugged her little sister who was with her in the backseat, "Big brother Gumball did it!".
Polly asked confused, "Get what?".
Penny snapped out of her moment of happiness and was also confused, "I... I don't really understand what happened either, but he's okay and that's what matters".
Back to Gumball, he was striking epic poses, sliding across the floor on his knees and bragging, "I'M AMAZING!".
He stopped his moment of glory and looked towards the patch of land in the distance he was standing on, "DARWIN! ANALS! GO-".
He looked in that direction disappointed.
The piece of land he was on was very far from the others, he needed to leave it to continue.
And there was no one else on him.
Gumball snorted, "Oh…yeah".
He felt something, but ignored it and moved on, jumping to other, closer pieces of land.
In Elmore, everyone was calming down and starting to get a sense of the situation.
"Eeeh, what do we do now?", someone said amidst uncertain faces.
"I think we should just go back to minding our own business", someone else said.
Everyone shrugged and accepted the idea.
Calmly, everyone returned to their homes, putting out small fires and tidying up messy things.
It ended up just being Tobias left in the middle of the street alone, "So I have to go to school tomorrow?".
Anais walked away from her family to speak in front of them, "We need to find a way to help him!".
Darwin raised his hand with an uncertain expression, "Even if we don't know how?".
Nicole looked up with a sad look, "I agree with Anais, he's already gone a little crazy".
Richard flicked his wrist with a smile, "Nah, as long as he doesn't try to suck a stranger's fingers because he didn't realize the salty taste was actually sweat, it's still an acceptable level of crazy".
Anais shook off her confused and horrified expression, "However we're going to do this, we might need help".
They turned their attention to the sound of an engine and turned to see the Fitzgeralds pulling into their driveway.
Penny stuck her head out the back window and waved, "Hi, we came here to help if you need it".
Anais placed her hands on her hips with an impressed and satisfied look, "Wow, that moment defined 'just in time' perfectly".
She slammed her fist into her palm, "Okay, we can hear and see Gumball, but he can't. We need to try to communicate, maybe with some message".
Everyone thought with their hands on their chins.
Penny was the first to come up with an idea, "What if we use fireworks? Gumball always uses them to write messages".
Darwin followed his train of thought, "Yeah, he and Mr. Dad always buy a box every week".
Richard said disappointedly, "But they're already gone, I checked this morning".
Nicole raised an eyebrow, "Do you do anything in the morning?".
Richard spoke confidently, "Every morning I feel like I put something strange in my mouth, if it didn't blow up my face, then it means the fireworks are over".
"Wow", Patrick said unimpressed from inside the car.
"Well we need to go buy more, where do you two buy them?", Nicole asked frantically.
At this moment, Richard's face tensed up, he bit off a huge chunk of the lower part of his face and broke into a cold sweat.
Nicole squinted her eyes, "Wait, have you guys been buying stuff from the amazing store AGAIN?!".
She pointed her finger furiously at her husband, "I told you not to buy anything there anymore after that fertilizer that cursed the grass in this town!".
Richard shielded himself with his hands, "No, no! We didn't buy it from the amazing store. We bought it from a...suspicious place".
Nicole snorted, "Okay, fine, this can't be worse than the amazing store".
Judith swung her arm into the car, "Get in! Let's go for a ride!".
Darwi protested, "But we can't all fit in there".
Richard appeased him, "Don't worry, son, I stayed on top of the car".
Nicole gave a knowing look, "You're going to pretend this is one of those fantasies you play out, aren't you?".
Richard laughed, "You know me so well", and kissed his wife's cheek.
Nicole, Darwin and Anais got into the backseat while Richard climbed on top of the car.
He pointed determinedly ahead, "Go ahead, noble fellow adventurer!".
Patrick snorted, "Don't give me stupid names! This isn't an RPG!".
Richard continued with his determined expression, "To live is to have adventures and now I'm living!".
The full car headed to an unknown place, but with a goal.
