《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 7: 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.

8 189Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.
