《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 19: The Questionable Party
Advertisement
Now feeling they didn't have a choice, Seismo, Krader, and the Flains all stood at the table but then Queen Entozoa ordered her servants to grab some chairs for the four mixels so now the mixels started sitting at the table instead of standing at it. Queen Entozoa started to open her mouth and slowly take a deep breath just to make an announcement, but suddenly, the kingdom doors slammed open by an orange, fuzzy creature who wore a green hat and a light blue bowtie and a blue, horse like creature who wore a pearl necklace.
"Sorry I'm late!" Apologized the orange creature.
"Hey, it's Hater and Mr. Peepers! Sylvia, and you said we wouldn't know anyone."
"Wander!" Exclaimed Queen Entozoa as she hugged the orange creature.
"So glad you made, it my dear boy! Ooh, sit next to me!"
One of the servants then pulled up a chair for Wander on the right side of Queen Entozoa. Cut to a skeleton in a black and red rode with a flabbergasted look upon his face.
"W-W-Wander? W-w-what is he do- wha- wha- who- wha- why?" Stuttered the skeleton.
Cut to Wander and Entozoa.
"Queen Entozoa, I can't thank you enough for inviting me and Sylvia to your swanky shindig! I can't wait to meet all your fascinating guests!" Complimented Wander as he bowed to Queen Entozoa.
Pan to the left side of Queen Entozoa's seat where we see the four mixels with Sylvia talking about "The Lady Haymaker" and "The Duchess of Wailing".
"..Question, why we have dinner?" Krader asked Queen Entozoa.
"Ah, that is a great question, but the answer is because I am dyyyy...." On the last word, her eyes rolled back in her head and she let her head fall over and hit the table.
Cut to the attendees as they stare in shock as in Peepers and the skeleton, an ampomorphic shark, the four mixels, the flaming bull, and then back to Queen Entozoa.
"-Yyying to tell you something, I'm dying." Continued Queen Entozoa.
"But before I die, I will bequeath to one of you villians my vast empire and extensive power which I have spent 1,000 years building."
Cut to the skeleton and Peepers as they high-five each other, and then cut to Kragthar, the flaming bull.
"Are you a thousand years old? You don't look a day over four hundred! Heh, am I right? Who's with me?" Kragthar nervously complimented.
The rest of the guests stood in awkward silence. Cut to Queen Entozoa as she bangs her scepter twice, calling two of her servants to take Kragthar away. Cut to Kragthar as he topples over, widen to frame him taken away by the servants.
"Wait, no! What if I say you do look your age? Or older?" Begged Kragthar.
The doors slam, we see pink lightning come out from the cracks and hear Kragthar screaming in agony and pain. As he screams, cut to Lord Hater and Peepers as they look on, Entozoa behind them
"That was desperate! I cannot stand desperate!" Complained Queen Entozoa.
Behind shot of her chair, she points to the left. As she speaks, she slowly points to the right with the camera following.
"Whomever I bequeath control of my power to must be one who possesses great strength, someone deserving. I DO NOT WANT WEAKLIIIIIINGS!" Shouted Queen Entozoa.
Queen Entozora then started coughing a lot. Cut to the four mixels who stare at her in shock and then quickly turn to the tarts on their plates. Cut to Rokit and the nixel who are still up in the ceiling with the nixel looking down on Queen Entozoa in horror while shivering. The nixel then crouched down, held onto its knees, and then fell onto its side while Lord Hater complaining about how Peepers shouldn't have Queen Entozoa's kingdom and power because he's a goody-two shoes and Queen Entozoa telling him that Peepers is the number one most wanted fugitive in the galaxy is faintly heard.

Rokit then shuddered at Queen Entozoa's harsh attitude afterwards.
"With that temper, I'm surprised she let us here in the first place." Muttered Rokit.
Cut to Lord Hater with an infuriated look upon his face.
"But he's wanted by me! I did that! Wander, I will not allow you to foil another one of my plans! NOW! YOU! SHALL! DI-" But before Lord Hater could finish, Peepers suddenly slammed him out of the frame.
"Excuse us, we need to use the little villians' room!" Shouted Peepers as he ran to the bathroom while carrying Lord Hater along the way.
Cut to the Flains and Queen Entozoa as she starts looking at the mixels.
"So, have any of you four ever conquered any planets?" Queen Entozoa asked the four mixels.
Cut to the Flains.
"Well, maybe not planets, but we do usually defeat a whole bunch of nixels back in our world." Admitted Flain.
The camera then panned to the left, revealing Krader.
"Yeah, yeah, we mash nixel and send to Nixel Land with cubit!" Agreed Krader, mashing his fists together as an example of mashing nixels.
Krader then used the closest fork to him, stabbed the tart using said fork, and ate the tart whole. Cut to Wander and Entozoa.
"What a lovely, evil castle you have here." Complimented Wander as he briefly held Queen Entozoa's hand.
"Oh, stop! You know just what to say to a girl!" Wheezed Queen Entozoa.
Cut to between their chairs as Lord Hater sits down. His next line sound smooth and more manly-like.
"I like it, too. It's got good parts, and then other parts that are also good, too, as well." Agreed Lord Hater.
Cut to Entozoa and Wander
"Don't be a suck-up!" Barked Queen Entozoa.
Brief shot of Lord Hater's face, which drops into confusion. Cut to a close-up of his tray as a guard places a covered plate on top. The guard lifts the lid to reveal a simple fruit tart, cut back to Lord Hater as he stares. Back to his plate, panning from the seven forks on the right to the three spoons and knife on the left. Back to Lord Hater, be begins pointing in time
"Esther.. ate.. planets.. for.. Tom." Muttered Lord Hater.
He stops, then grabs up the knife and largest fork as he begins cutting the tart. Meanwhile, with Wander, he too has received a tart. Cut to behind his shoulder at the seven forks; he blinks, then cut back to full view as he scratches his head. He shrugs, then points up three fingers, then scoops up the tart with them and wolfs it down.
His loud munching causes the other attendees to gasp as the camera cuts to them, Sylvia's mouth full of sandwiches. Brief shot between Wander's and Entozoa's chairs as Lord Hater watches, then chuckles deviously. Cut to a front-on shot of Entozoa and Wander.
"Oh, Wandy! How I love your devil-may-care attitude!" Giggled Queen Entozoa.
Meanwhile, the Flains looked at each other in confusion, but shrugged and ate their tarts with their forks and knives. Cut to Rokit and the nixel as they watch everyone at the table eat their tarts, and then the two realized that they were quite starving themselves.
"Hey, nixel? You wanna get some grub?" Rokit asked the nixel.
In response, the Nixel gave out a thumbs-up. So then Rokit floated down to the dinner table, but the servants walked closer and closer to him as he floated down closer and closer to the dinner table, so then he stopped floating down.

"..Look, can we at least ask for some food?" Questioned Rokit.
"Don't be a beggar, I'm keeping you and your possum up in the ceiling to teach you a lesson." Warned Queen Entozoa.
While Rokit was annoyed he and the nixel couldn't get some food, the nixel was furious about being called a "possum" because it thought it was much more than just a possum. The nixel growled and gripped on the bars of the bird cage as it glared at Queen Entozoa.
"Nix..." Growled the nixel.
Cut to the Kremlons as they speak indistinctly, drooling slightly. Cut to an annoyed Entozoa as she cringed at the Kremlons' inability to speak English.
"Oh, I can't understand these disgusting creatures! Someone else talk!" Complained Queen Entozoa
Cut to Lord Hater, whereas his next line is delivered in a very stilted manner.
"Oh, I have a very pithy and impromptu story, that's sure to make you laugh. So, the other day, I'm flying through space, and there's this planet that's just begging to get blown up."
Cut to Wander and Entozoa.
"Why?" Asked Wander.
Back to Lord Hater, the camera shifts back and forth between the speakers on their next few lines.
"Because it was." Said Lord Hater.
"But why?" Asked Wander.
"Because it was dumb-looking." Said Lord Hater.
"Why?" Asked Krader.
"Because it was purple, and I hate purple."
"But Magnifo purple, so you hate him too?" Questioned Seismo.
"Don't know who he is." Said Lord Hater.
"Why?" Asked Wander.
"Because we're from different dimensions." Said Lord Hater.
"But then why do you hate purple?" Asked Wander.
"BECAUSE THIS GIRL I LIKED HAD PURPLE HAIR, AND SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DATE ME, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER, 'CAUSE I, LIKE, DIDN'T WANT TO DATE HER EITHER, SO LIKE, SHE'S THE LOSER, NOT ME! SO WHATEVER, PURPLE'S JUST STUPID! AND I DO NOT KNOW MAGNIFO AT ALL, OKAY?!!" Barked Lord Hater as he slammed upon the table.
Pull out to frame the attendees, all staring at him in silence, Sylvia with her mouth full of sandwiches. Cut to Wander, now sporting a spoon on his face.
"Hey, I can do this." Said Wander.
Back to the attendees, all but Lord Hater and the four mixels burst out into laughter. Back to him, whereas Queen Entozoa is laughing, too.
"Yes!" Laughed Queen Entozora.
"I... what a good one!"
Wander takes the spoon off his face on the end of this. Cut to a furious Lord Hater, he pants heavily, but shrieks as the camera zooms out to frame a servant ringing a handbell. Cut to Queen Entozoa.
"Ohh! Time for dancing! OHHHH!!!" Announced Queen Entozoa.
"Dancing?! But, before I let loose on the dance floor, I gotta let loose in the little gentleman's room. So, if you'll excuse me." Reminded Wander.
And then Wander zipped out of the scene. Cut to Peepers in the bathroom, now entirely beat up and covered in scars and his suits and hat a little ripped up. He opens a bandage and faces the mirror as he puts it on his eye.
"That's gonna hurt comin' off." Sighed Peepers.
We hear the door open as it is seen opening in the mirror's reflection. Wander rushes past and enters one of the bathroom stalls. Peepers blinks, then jumps off the sink and rushes out. Cut to outside the bathroom as Peepers comes out the door and we hear a toilet flush; he fires his blaster around the door, sealing it.
We hear Wander banging on the door.
"Whoop! Door's stuck!" Exclaimed Wander as he knocked on the door.
"Hello?"
"I did it!" Chuckled Peepers as he was about to dial upon his phone.
However, before Peepers could dial on his phone, Seismo asked Peepers if he could use the bathroom.
"Can't, it's closed. Now, if you'll excuse me." Said Peepers as he was about to dial his phone once again, but then was interrupted by Seismo once more.
"That no problem, we Cragsters always have rock-solid plan!" Said Seismo as he walked up to the bathroom door.
Seismo then kicked down the door, causing the door to fall off with Wander still on it. Wander then peeled himself off of the door and walked away, thanking Seismo as he walked past him. Seismo then walked into the bathroom right afterwards but now that Wander was free, Peepers was more ticked off than he'd ever been, causing him to throw his phone onto the floor and shoot it multiple times.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to a servant as he plays an intro on a drumset. The scene widens to frame three other servants in a four-person band, on keyboard, lead and bass guitars respectively. The lights change, and a rock ballad starts up. Cut to Entozoa as Lord Hater walks up to her.
"Your majesty, may I have this dance?" Asked Lord Hater as he bowed and held out his hands.
In the close-up, Entozoa rolls her eyes disgustedly and takes his hand. The camera zooms out a bit as she is dragged offscreen by him. Cut to a long shot of the room as the servants and attendees watch from all sides of the dance floor. The image soft-focuses as Lord Hater and Entozoa begin waltzing with each other.
Time as old as you
Lord Hater
And the queen
Beautiful
Pretty things
Dancing in the room
Bequeath yourself to me
Hater and the queen
"Lord Hater, maybe I was wrong about you. I can't think of anyone more deserving of my power!" Admitted Queen Entozoa.
We hear a scatter of metal as the music stops on a needle scratch; the lights go back to normal and the image refocuses itself. Both Lord Hater and Entozoa turn towards the action; cut to Wander with a big smile upon his face.
"Phew, and I thought I missed it!" Exclaimed Wander.
He runs toward the camera offscreen on the end of this. Peepers follows, but the door falls down on him. Cut to the band as Wander runs up.
"Follow my lead, look for breaks, don't put anything in your ear bigger than your elbow. Let's go!" Reminded Wander as he took off his hat.
He turns the hat upside down on the floor and drags it as five instruments spill out of it, before running off. Cut to a close-up of the instruments, clockwise from center: Banjo, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, upright bass. The servants' arms reach into view and grab them out of frame. Cut to a slow pan across the band as a peppy jazz melody starts up.
Cut to Lord Hater and Entozoa as they look on, the former looking rather uneasily at the fact Wander changed the music. Wander comes up in the center.
