《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 1: It All Began With Fire
Advertisement
We see the firey Magma Wastelands, but then the camera pans down to the Infernite Cousins as they walk around, enjoying the wonderful scenery.
"Oh yeah, this looks like the perfect place to pitch our tent." Remarked Flamzer.
"We didn't bring any tents!" Blurted Burnard.
Cut to a close-up of Flamzer.
"You didn't bring any tents? ON A CAMPING TRIP!?" Shouted Flamzer, clearly furious by the lack of tent at a time when it was necessary.
"WHAT DID YOU MIX-MONKEYS BRING!? Sleeping bags?"
"Nope." Said Burnard.
"Beans and bacon? Trail mix?" Asked Flamzer.
"Nuh-uh!" Said Burnard, waving his finger carelessly.
"Board games? S'mores? Fudge brownies? MOIST TOWELETTES!?" Shouted Flamzer.
Boy was Flamzer furious, the Infernite Cousins had little to absolutely no camping supplies needed for the camping trip! Except there was at least one thing Burnard brought.
"We brought.. an ICE CUBE!" Exclaimed Burnard.
But the cube was so cold, it made Burnard practically juggle the cube and then set it down. The scene slightly glitches before using a glitch transition to the Infernite Cousins finally beginning to settle in their camping spot.
"Ah, now that's what I call a cold campcube." Sighed Flamzer.
"It gives me the shivers." Admitted Meltus with a sneeze.
"I can't feel my feet!" Blurted Burnard, laughing as he always would.
"Yes sir, there's nothing better than a frosty Mixmallow." Said Flamzer with a bite of his chilled Mixmallow.
Meanwhile, three nixels got on top of the stone they hid behind and chanted "nix".
"Did you hear that?" Asked Meltus.
Quickly, the nixels ducked down behind the stone and kept quiet.
"There must be someone out there!" Worried Meltus.
The cube-eared nixel shushed the two other nixels and then started hooting, with said two other nixels joining in.

"That's nothing to be afraid of!" Laughed Flamzer.
"It's just a couple of Hoot-doodles, doodling at the moon!"
Suddenly, one of the nixels, the cat-eared nixel, started glitching. The pointy-eared nixel and the cat-eared nixel covered the cat-eared nixel's mouth in order not to make the Infernite Cousins notice them.
"..That sounded more like static, I think." Said Meltus.
"Hehe, they're really weird Hoot-doodles, huh?" Replied Burnard.
The cat-eared nixel stopped glitching, so the other two nixels let go of its mouth. More static was heard, and it was coming from some black, glitchy goop that was leaking off of one of the cliffs in Magma Wastelands. The Infernite Cousins saw the glitchy goop and realized that there were no Hoot-doodles in sight, meaning the static came from the goop itself.
"It's a space invasion, guys! RUN FOR IT!" Shouted Flamzer.
The Infernite Cousins ran away from the goop and the nixels followed them, only the nixels were running behind rocks so that the Infernite Cousins wouldn't notice them. All of a sudden, the Infernite Cousins and the nixels hit an invisible wall. The nixels watched as the Infernite Cousins scratched the wall, hoping that the invisible wall would just disappear. Meltus sneezed on the invisible wall, only for it to burn a hole in the wall which burned just enough for the hole to be slightly taller.
(A/N: The invisible walls are a reference to an episode of Close Enough.)
Meltus and Flamzer climbed into the ruler-shaped hole which led to Mixel Park and Burnard followed, only for the glitchy goop to pull Burnard by his legs.
"AGH, I'M SLIPPING! HAHAHAHAAAAGH!" Shouted Burnard.
The nixels ran towards the ruler-shaped hole, but the glitchy goop immediately blocked them off. Meltus tried to get out of the hole just so he could pull Burnard in, but the hole was growing too small to do so, and then said hole dissapeared into nothingness. Meanwhile, the nixels ran away from the glitch, but even they got hit by an invisible wall. The nixels were small and nimble, but the glitch was on their tail, and it had swallowed the three whole.

*Commercial Break*
Meanwhile, Meltus and Flamzer were walking around Mixel Park, and then they saw the Glorp Corp and Spikels meeting up, which causes the camera to zoom out which reveals the Spikels and the Glorp Corp meeting up.
"Aw, Scorpi! You're just the cutest little mixel!" Gushed Torts.
Cut to a close-up of Meltus and Flamzer.
"Did we just time-travel?" Meltus whispered to Flamzer.
"Looks like it." Assumed Flamzer.
Flamzer and Meltus walked to the right where they saw Tentro and Teslo doing their weekly exercise run, and Tentro suddenly stopped and started to glitch.
"Tentro, you okay?" Asked Teslo.
"I don't know, I-I-I-I just felt something, I guess." Assumed Tentro.
Bone-cracking was heard as Tentro bent and twisted himself, and started oozing the same glitchy, black goop Flamzer and Meltus had seen.
"..Tentro?" Worried Teslo as he backed away.
But Tentro didn't answer. With a worried expression, Meltus ran to Teslo and tackled him before Corrupted Tentro could stab any one of his tentacles into him.
"ŕu-ü-uņ? Çømě pł@ý wįťh u-ű-us." Glitched Corrupted Tentro.
"..'Us'?" Asked Meltus.
"W-w-w-wę @ŕë üņ§țö-" Before Corrupted Tentro could do anything, Flamzer whacked him with an Infernite cubit, throwing Corrupted Tentro onto the floor.
Teslo ran away from Corrupted Tentro, and Flamzer and Meltus followed. Corrupted Tentro picked himself up and walked towards them, which began to turn into a fast chase.
"Why the heck is Tentro like this?" Teslo asked Meltus.
"I HAVE NO IDEA!" Worried Meltus.
"Quick, we gotta mix!" Shouted Flamzer as he held up a rainbow cubit.
When Teslo and the two Infernites held onto the cubit, they got turned into the 3 bars of a xylophone in which two mallets banged on rapidly until they exploded into the word "MIX!".
When Corrupted Tentro attempted to lunge at the mix, he got grabbed using the mix's tail and was swung around, being both shocked and burned at the same time. When the mix was done swinging the corrupted Flexer around, they threw the Flexer into the air and then the mix split.
"Wait a minute, why wazzzz he acting so... violent?" Asked Teslo.
"Well.. m-maybe it was that glitchy, goopy stuff." Assumed Meltus.
"In fact, me, Burnard, and Flamzer saw it when we were away running from it back in the Magma Wastelands."
"..Who?" Questioned Teslo.
"He's our brother, we're the Infernites." Said Flamzer.
"I'm Meltus and this is Flamzer, we lost Burnard while escaping here." Introduced Meltus.
"I'm Teslo, leader of the Electroids." Greeted Teslo.
All of a sudden, something that kept repeating "Murp" jumped on Flamzer and slimed him, and then Teslo. It looked like some mix of Scorpi and a Glorp Corpian, but the two Infernites and Teslo know it was a Murp because it kept saying "Murp" which was a Murp's common trait. Glomp, Torts, Hoogi, and Footi ran past by them, looking for said murp.
"That murp is destroying Mixel PARK!" Worried Glomp.
Meltus pulled the green slime off of Teslo and Flamzer and then they ran to the exact spot where the Spikels and Glorp Corp were when Flamzer and Meltus saw them in the last chapter.
"Okay, this isn't good." Stated Flamzer.

Just Don't Shoot the Quartermaster
Aliens are real! And monsters! But that's racist, don't call them that. And there's magic too! The life of humble, hard-working Carioca*¹² Rafael Barro is thrown into disarray when the interstellar Multi-Unity Alliance comes knocking. During the negotiations to take Earth in as a Protected Member-Planet for the glory of our AI overlords, the aliens ‘accidentally’ break the Veil that keeps the mythics protected from humanity’s knowledge, revealing the creatures of legend and myth that were hiding among us for millennia — from the doorman to global leaders. After a series of mishaps in his ever chaotic Brazil, our intrepid hero decides to join the Unity's Army, where he ends up as a inglorious… quartermaster. The Unity takes all recruits to make matters worse, including the mythics! And the cherry on the damn pie is Rafael Barro’s extra assignment: writing this historical first-hand report on the wonders of Earth’s diversity, the seamless adaptation of all its members, and on his gallant units’ first stellar expedition ever to defend another precious*³ world! Are we talking about the same planet? (Reader discretion is advised; Contains Graphic Language and Potentially Excessive Swearing) *¹ Carioca = demonym of someone from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. *² humble and/or hardworking Cariocas = not necessarily mythics, ordinary ones actually exist. *³ precious = inasmuch every living planet is precious. Editor's Note: Someone disable his permission to edit the draft on UnityDocs, please! Hello, I'm McKing and I aim to write an original story with elements I've never seen put together before. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see — I'm not a native speaker, so I'm sure a few will pass me by. Sci-fi; Humor; (Brazilian) Urban Fantasy; faint shades of LitRPG. **Be warned it has a bit of an (absurd) slice-of-life beginning though the story is being subtly (I hope) worked on and eventually shifts gears (a bit). I planned to say that from the beginning, but I forgot to add it.** I hope that you enjoy it and that I can grow as a writer with your contributions. No Fixed Update Schedule. My inspiration comes in bursts and so will the Chapters. Sorry if that displeases you (I love regular updates too), but I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Keep in mind that it is a work in progress and things can eventually change a bit - I'll try to always note the changes. Sorry for the bad cover, it was the best my sorry skills could do! I hope you enjoy it,Mcking
