《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 4: The Echoes of Television
Advertisement
The cartoon characters looked around, but then they saw a portal that included a creature with a broken Greek statue head on differently colored legs.
(A/N: This Greek statue head creature is from ENA.)
"Your exterior isn't up to our community's typical standards." Said the Greek statue head creature.
"Present a blood sample at once!"
"Hey, guys? What the heck is that thing?" Asked Gobba, pointing at the mysterious creature in the portal.
A few voices more from various shows were starting to become heard.
"Nurp want crater-tot! Nurp want crater-tot!" Demanded a childish voice.
"Agh, round things!" Shouted another voice.
"Milly, Geo, Bot, and YOU!" Exclaimed three voices.
"I gotta think about this." Said a Puerto Rican girl from a portal.
(A/N: This is a reference to Alma's Way.)
The group of cartoons looked around. Sure they knew there was a lot of portals, possibly a hundred or so, but why are they all linked to weird creatures they didn't know about, and why were some of the creatures.. human? The voices of the cartoons continued, but then they heard another one, that voice of Burnard's. Burnard was screaming while being launched off-screen in front of the group.
When the group of toons looked at Burnard, they noticed that a 9 feet behind him, the ice wall was broken and slightly melting. This terrified the mixels (not Burnard) greatly because the corrupted mixels could escape due to the ice wall being broken which was preventing them from attacking the survivors.
"Flain, Flurr, and Meltus said that the glitchy goop is actually called 'The Darkness'!" Exclaimed Burnard.
"And they said it chose me to spread all the good it does!"
"What the- it literally has 'Darkness' in its NAME! DOES THAT NOT GIVE YOU AT LEAST A HINT THAT IT'S EVIL!?" Barked Flamzer.
"Well, how was I supposed to know that?" Burnard asked Flamzer, crossing his arms.
Now that the ice wall was broken (due to Corrupted Flain throwing Burnard through the ice wall), Corrupted Flain, Corrupted Meltus, and Corrupted Flurr had a chance to escape and spread their darkness. Corrupted Flain, Meltus, and Flurr went through the hole in the ice wIall slowly walked their way out. Flamzer, Gobba, Kraw, Peg, Cat, and Teslo noticed the three corrupted mixels making their way towards them.
"Uh.. behind you." Reminded Cat.
"Burnard, listen. We have to run, or we're all becoming mindless zombies in less than an hour." Flamzer quickly told Burnard.
"Nuh-uh! Not according to my eye-upgrade!" Protested Burnard.
Seeing the corrupted mixels get closer and that they're now nearly running, Flamzer gave up and grabbed Burnard while Kraw grabbed Peg and Cat. The survivors ran through the hallway, as if it was a race against time itself. One of the noises other than the voices from the portals was now that of a ringing phone. Gobba stopped and turned for the portal which was emitting that ringing noise, which was a portal that included a detective dog and a chaotic bunny.
"I GOT IT, IT GOT IT!" Shouted the two animal detectives.
As Gobba jumped through the portal and slammed onto the top of the table, he now accidentally joined the fight over who answers the phone first.
"I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!" Chanted the three chaotic cartoons who were currently in a ball of comedic violence.
Cut back to the group of cartoons (minus Gobba) who were still running from the corrupted mixels.
"Quick, we have to separate! They can't get all of us, right?" Teslo told Kraw.

"I don't think that's a goo-o-od strategy, Teslo!" Said Kraw.
"It's our only chance of survival, DON'T YOU GET IT!?" Shouted Flamzer.
Without hesitation, the cartoons went into different portals. However, Peg took Cat with her because Cat was her best friend, and she can't put him in danger. Cut back to Gobba and the two other animal detectives who were still in a violence ball together while the phone was still ringing.
"WAIT!" Yelled the chaotic rabbit.
Suddenly, the violence ball dissapeared to reveal the detective dog pulling the rabbit's ears with his right hand and his left hand being bitten by Gobba, the chaotic rabbit pulling onto the dog's left arm sleeve, and Gobba hugging the dog's left leg rightly.
"Who's the new guy on your leg, Sam?" Asked the bunny.
Cut to a close-up of Sam looking at his bunny sidekick and then at Gobba. The camera pans down onto Gobba.
"Hiya, the name's Gobba!" Exclaimed Gobba.
"Pleased to meet ya!"
Gobba held out a hand to shake, until he heard another ring from the phone. Gobba instantly jumped onto the table and answered the rotary phone.
"Hiya, is this the meat lover's pizza I ordered?" Asked Gobba.
"Uh, no. It's a telephone. Read a book, will ya?" The rabbit told Gobba.
"You crack me up, Max." Said Sam as he patted the rabbit.
"What- no it's not Sam. Who even is that guy, anyway?" Gobba told the Comissioner on the phone.
"No, it's not a guy named 'Max' either. Wait, trouble downtown? But where is downtown? No, I'm.. wait, who are you?"
"Dude, that's the Commissioner." Max told Gobba.
"Wait, he said there's trouble downtown? We gotta get moving!" Realized Sam.
Sam and Max were about to run out the door, until Gobba interrupted their run with a question.
"Hold on a minute! One, where am I? Two, who's Sam and Max? And three, I only went here for the phone so I don't know where I am." Asked Gobba.
Sam and Max turned around to Gobba, about to answer his question.
"Well, Gobba, you're in our office. Also, I'm Sam and this is Max. We're freelance police!" Introduced Sam.
"Hey, I just noticed you asked where you are twice." Noticed Max.
Gobba blinked twice, but then he noticed that Max was right.
"Oh yeah, Ha-hahah-hah! I guess I did!" Laughed Gobba.
Cut to Kraw on the grass in the backyard of the Simpsons' house. Smooching was heard and when he looked around, he saw nothing. When Kraw looked behind him, however, he saw two yellow humans kissing each other. Suddenly, one of the humans with the long, blue hair noticed a shooting star in the far-off sky.
"Look, a shooting star!" Exclaimed the long-haired with a surprisingly raspy voice.
"Hey, that's great. Let's look at it after." Said the other human.
The two humans continued to kiss (despite Kraw's disappointment), not noticing that the "shooting star" was heading towards them, and that it must've been a meteor. The meteor crashed onto the hammock, the only part of the humans being damaged being part of the long-haired humans hair.
"Woah, that could've tore my head off!" Worried the long-haired human.
"Oh, you always make excuses not to make out." Complained the other human.
Kraw didn't want to be noticed by the humans, so he looked for a place to hide. The trees the hammock was hanging on were destroyed along with the hammock itself, so Kraw launched himself over the fence and hid behind it.

*Commercial Break*
Two smaller humans walked towards their taller counterparts. Out of the meteor hatched a pile of mysteriously glowing, lime green slime. The human in the white shirt poked it using a stick, hoping to eat the slime.
"Whoo, a space marshmallow!" Exclaimed the white shirt human.
But the slime climbed to the end of the stick that wasn't pointed to the human's mouth.
"Where do you think you're going?" The white shirt human asked the slime.
The white shirt human pointing the other end of the stick towards his mouth, waiting for the slime to drop into his mouth. Kraw peeked through the top of the fence, only to find that the white shirt human was clearly about to eat something hazardous.
"STO-O-OP!" Shouted Kraw.
Kraw used his stretchy arms to knock down the fence and he was about to run towards the white shirt human to stop him from eating the slime, but he stopped as soon as the group of four humans saw him and screamed (excluding the boy with the spiky hair and the white shirt human.) causing Kraw to scream as well.
"Cool, a deadly killer alien!" Exclaimed the spiky-haired boy.
"Mmm, unprocessed orange crab.." Said the white shirt human, and then he gurggled as he drooled.
"Dad, no!" Shouted the red dress girl.
The camera cuts to Kraw as he face-palmed himself in disappointment.
"I only came here to stop you from eating that goo-o-o!" Kraw told the white shirt human.
"Well, are you gonna talk about it or are you gonna do it?" Teased the white shirt human.
(A/N: This is a reference to "I've Grown A Costume On Your Face" from Treehouse of Horror XVI.)
The white shirt human put the end of the stick into his mouth and sucked the slime off of it, which was now inside his mouth. Afterwards, the human threw away the stick over the fence behind him. Kraw groaned in more disappointment as he saw how dumb this white shirt human was.
"S-sorry about Homer, he is usually like this." Apologized the long-haired human.
"I'm Marge and this is Bart and Lisa."
"Can I please have some of your laser guns?" Asked Bart.
"No you can't!" Shouted Lisa and Marge.
"Yeah, I don't have laser guns anyway!" Kraw told Bart.
The slime inside Homer's mouth began to attempt to punch through Homer's cheeks, but Homer swallowed the slime and that prevented it from punching through. However, the slime drooped through Homer's nostrils.
"Oh no you don't!" Said Homer.
Homer aggressively sniffed the slime back up his nose, but then the slime leaked out of his ears, his nostrils, and even his mouth.
"How could you eat that goo? You don't know what galaxy it's from!" Said Marge.
"Nag, nag, nag." Mumbled Homer, muffled by all of the slime in his mouth.
Homer attempted to suck all of the slime back into himself, and since that was done, Kraw became more annoyed with Homer.
"If I can keep down Arby's, I can keep down you!" Homer told the slime inside his stomach.
Meanwhile, Teslo was in a field of bright pastel green grass under a turquoise morning sky. The camera zooms out, only to see P, R, N, and K just hanging out and standing around, doing their thing and relaxing. Suddenly, a feminine screaming around was heard, and then A fell from the sky.
"Ah!" Exclaimed A.
An apple too fell from the sky and fell on top of A, causing her to say "Ah" again which caused P, R, N, and K to snicker.
"I.. I'm not gonna ask." Teslo told himself, scratching the back of his head.
"Sigh, the joke is always on.." Before A could finish her sentence, another apple fell on A.
"..me." Finished A.
"Poor A." Worried P.
And then P, R, A, N, and K stood up and held hands. Of course, this caused them to make the word "Prank" since it's part of their power and it's activated by Alphablocks holding each other's hands. When the word was made, a bright red clown nose popped onto A.
"Ah.. what's a prank?" A asked herself.
As soon as A asked the question, i suddenly zipped by, a pink mirror in hand.
(A/N: I'm using a lowercase i whenever I'm referring to Alphablock i since I don't want to mix her up with I (as in the "I" I use for POV'S).)
"I know, it's a-" P popped next to i, interrupting her message and taking away her mirror. P then popped back next to A.
"A prank is when you play jokes!" Explained P.
A honked her clown nose and giggled, but then she had came up with an idea. An honestly pretty annoying but also pretty funny idea.
"So I can play jokes on all of you!" Said A.
"But what's the point?" Teslo asked himself.
There was an awkward silence, but then P and R instantly knew what A meant, and they both didn't want to be pranked on.
"Time to pop off." Said P.
Afterwards, P had already popped away and R called for her rope to swing away from the group. However, as soon as this happened, i and K came over and slightly giggled a little bit.
"Wait, where did that rope come from?" Teslo asked himself.
Teslo knew this was a world he had never explored, seen, or heard of before, but he never thought any planet or universe or dimension would be able to have creatures that can summon ropes that hang onto who-knows-what.
"It's tea time!" Exclaimed A, doing a teapot pose.
T then ran over, ready for tea time to start.
"Did someone say 'tea'?" Asked T.
"Sausage-e-es!" Called A.
S flew towards the group and landed on her feet, making Teslo pretty confused.
"Did someone say 'sausages'?" Asked S.
Cut to a close-up of A.
"My nose is red, it's round, it's fun! I can play pranks on everyone!" Exclaimed A, and then she honked her clown nose.
However, A honking her clown nose caused S, T, I, N, and K to make the word "Stink" which also caused stinky socks to scatter all around the place, including on top of i and S.
"I stink, I stink!" Shouted i.
"And I stink, too!" S told i.
"I think I stink much more than you!" i said back.
This caused A to giggle a lot and it also caused i and S to run away from the group, disgusted by the stinky socks.
"Friend? Where R, U?" Asked A.
R swung back to the group using her rope and U ran towards the group.
"Did someone call our names?" Asked R and U.
As Teslo and the audience would've guessed, T, R, U, N, and K made the word "Trunk". A blue elephant appeared out of nowhere and sprayed T, R, U, N, and K with its trunk. Teslo suddenly got interested in the Alphablocks' power to create different things just by holding hands. Teslo cautiously walked towards the Alphablocks, but he stopped once his walk was interrupted by T, R, U, N, and K rhyming after getting wet.
"A largest trunk has got us wet, we are as wet as we can get!" Shouted T, R, U, N, and K.
T, R, U, N, and K then ran off, screaming.
