《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 9: Edutainment Meets A Mixel

"Silly sausages!" Called A.
Like before, S flew towards the group and landed on her feet, thinking there could be silly sausages somewhere around the place.
"Did someone say 'silly sausages'?" Asked S.
M then walked on over to S and T, being hungry due to realizing someone mentioned sausages.
"Mmm!" Exclaimed M.
"Terribly sorry, no sausages." T told S and M.
"A's playing tricks!"
"Ooh!" Said S and M.
Teslo tried to walk towards the Alphablocks once again. However, O was also walking towards the Alphablocks.
"O o o, o o o?" Asked O.
P popped next to M to tell him to have the prank stop.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to A who is seen giggling. O walks over to A and honks her nose, causing him to float next to T and M which in turn caused the five Alphablocks to make the word "Stomp". A giant brown boot stomped into the scene and stomped all over the place, leaving black footprints.
"Stomp, stomp, stomp, what's that? Oh no!" Exclaimed S, T, M, and P.
The giant boot was about to put O on top of itself, but it suddenly paused. Teslo ran towards the boot to examine it more closely, except he hadn't realized the Alphablocks were now seeing him in sight.
"O, o o o? (Hey, who are you?)" O asked Teslo.
Teslo looked behind himself, only to find O looking pretty confused.
"..W-well, I'm Teslo. And you are?" Introduced Teslo.
"He's not 'R', his name's 'O'!" Laughed S.
Suddenly, the giant boot began to glitch. Teslo immediately looked behind himself and backed away, bumping into O.
"O o o o, o o o. (Obviously, this is weird.)" Worried O.
"O o o! (Really weird!)"
"Guys, trust me. You have to get away from this boo-" Teslo was rudely interrupted by the static sounds of the giant boot.

A stopped smiling and then got pretty worried about the situation she and her friends were in. She hadn't planned this, she just wanted the boot to carry O away, not scare everyone! Teslo motioned for the Alphablocks to follow him into the background. The boot stopped pausing itself and carried O like it was about to before.
However, the boot started leaking The Darkness as it stomped and stomped.
"NO, O!" Shouted Teslo.
Teslo turned towards S, T, A, M, and P.
"Quick, can you create something that could get O back from the Darkness?" Teslo frantically asked the five Alphablocks.
But the Electroid leader hadn't realized they weren't the right Alphablocks needed to bring O back. An awkward silence occurred.
"I'll take that as a no!" Said Teslo.
Teslo then ran after the glitchy boot and O, but then N ran towards S, T, A, M, and P.
"Did someone say 'no'?" Asked N.
Cut back to Teslo and the glitchy boot. It was a frantic cat-and-mouse chase, only it's now a mixel-and-boot chase instead. O bounced on top of the boot as it stomped while Teslo barely kept up. O turned towards behind the boot, but then he saw Teslo.
O tried to jump off the boot, but instead he tripped and fell face-first onto the ground, his right leg leaking with The Darkness. Finally, Teslo ran to O, panting from the miles he ran just to catch up with O. O got up on his feet and the orange Alphablock greeted Teslo cheerfully, in his own O language, of course.
"Come on, there's no time to waste!" Teslo told O.
"We've gotta escape before The Darkness takes over your land like it did with mine!"
"O, o o o? (Wait, excuse me?)" O asked Teslo.
"O o o o o o, o o o o o o, o o o o o o o o o o! (I don't know what you are, or what The Darkness is, so maybe you should explain it sometime!)"

Teslo grabbed O's left arm and then they ran off back with the other Alphablocks. Speaking of which, the Darkness which the boot was leaking earlier left some tiny puddles of itself, concerning the six Alphablocks.
"Never attack us, NEVER!" N shouted at the Darkness.
"Tsk, tsk, it's slime! It can't talk, N." T told N.
However, as soon as T said that, Teslo and O ran on-screen.
"Quick, follow me before-" A suddenly interrupted Teslo with a question.
"Actually, I have a question." A told Teslo.
"Go for it!" Said Teslo.
A giggled and said that she already asked the question and then she honked her nose.
"There's no time for pranks, we've got evil slime to deal with!" Complained N.
Speaking of "evil slime", the puddles of The Darkness began to move towards each other, and then they merged into a pile of itself. A tall pile of itself, to be more specific.
"I-i'm ssscared!" Worried S.
"Just follow me and we'll be fi-" Once again, Teslo got interrupted, only it was by the glitchy boot doing a loud roar this time.
Teslo ran into the background and told S, T, A, M, N, and P to catch up, even though Teslo was still holding onto O's arm as he ran. The Electroid leader and the seven Alphablocks were racing against time into the background so they could get away from The Darkness. O started to slightly glitch, but his alphaling glitched the most. The group hadn't felt something blocking their run, which meant that they weren't close enough, according to Teslo.
"Come on guys, faster!" Worried Teslo.
"We're sprinting as swiftly as we can!" S told Teslo.
Meanwhile, Peg & Cat were in an underwater town full of walking and talking fish, also known as Bikini Bottom. The duo looked around in confusion as they eyed the underwater town and then they got up on their feet. A rumbling noise was heard, and it grew louder and closer by the minute. When Peg & Cat looked to their right, they saw a giant pile of growing meat with a bunch of fish running away from it while screaming.
"What the..?" Peg asked herself.
"Yes, YEEEES! COME TO PAPA!" Shouted a tiny green speck that was running after the giant pile of meat.
The green speck slammed itself onto the meat, letting it suck itself into it. Peg gasped, grabbed Cat, and ran away from the meat.
"What kind of world is this?" Peg asked herself.
"I don't know, but I want out of here!" Worried Cat.
The duo kept running and running, but the giant meat just kept growing. All of a sudden, they were now on a miniature racetrack which was being moved on a truck, away from the growing meat.
"..Phew." Sighed Peg and Cat in relief.
"Now where are we going?" Cat asked Prg.
"Hopefully away from here." Said Peg.
Meanwhile, back with Major Nixel, he was now sitting on the ground in his forcefield. Static noises were heard and when Major Nixel looked to his left, he saw O, Flurr, and Flain each in three new forcefields.
"Aw, COME ON!" Shouted Major Nixel.
"Just when this place was only annoying, it just got WORSE!"
"..Major Nixel?" Flain asked Major Nixel.

The Way of Wrought Earth, or: My Tale of Rebirth as a Mostly Inanimate Rock
Mirage Winter. Second Clause, current act. A Relic Hunter's life is harsh — and often short — in the shattered lands of the Frontier. But when Whitelight reemerges, a legendary blade capable of separating anything the user wills it to cut, a newly formed unit organized of Hunter’s both young and old (and sediment based, in a particular case) vow to stop it from falling into cruel hands. Standing against them is the Frontier itself: the unbridled wrath of global federations, fellow Hunters, and those who lurk in the shadows of giants. As the world races to unravel a history desperately concealed, a semi-sapient rock soon realizes that some things are better off dead and buried — especially when those secrets carry an insidious corruption with no cure. Iteration: Mirror-glass Stars in Iron Oceans. First Clause. A soul wakes up as a rock, clinging to fragmented memories and knowledge of another era. What fate awaits such a creature? No, this isn't satire. Yes, I am dumb enough to try to take this seriously. Updates Wednesday, Friday with a variable amount of chapters. This story is not recommended for the easily disturbed. This is your only warning.

Convergence Series
Eulisses Malinor is a prodigious and somewhat reclusive wizard with an unconventional outlook on life itself. The latter may or may not be related to him shedding the burdens of mortality some time ago. He claims that every wizard that takes pride in themself needs to reside in a tower in the middle of nowhere. It definitely has nothing to do with the Addia fanatics that continue to seek him out. Successfuly, much to his discontent. Ever out to ‘cleanse’ him, or bloody murder him if you'd ask the lich himself. But soon, that will no longer be a problem, as Eulisses has finally gathered every reagent - magical or otherwise he needs. He will tear open and stabilize a miniature Rift, essentially creating his very-own pocket realm in which even Addia’s gaze will no longer be able to reach him. Everything has been carefully planned out in advance, so there is no possibility of failure. You can maybe then imagine his bafflement, when instead of the nothingness of his successfully created pocket realm, Eulisses finds himself in a quite holy looking hall, amidst quite too-baffled looking fellows, in the centre of a gigantic summoning circle - allegedly, he cannot read the runes that make it up - and facing a young and quite fair maiden that stares at him quite wide-eyed.
