《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 23: Coordinated Group Dancing
Advertisement
Booger begins dancing and uses the Cubit to send the Mixels around them out of their path. Electronic disco music begins playing.
"Hoo! Hoo!" Shouted the kids as they spun around and stopped.
The kids begin approaching zombified versions of Spinza, Ash, and Fridjerk. Booger shoots a rainbow beam at Spinza, coloring him back in and unzombifying him as a result.
"Yeah!" Shouted Spinza.
Spinza spun his katanas as rainbow beams shot out of them. Booger shoots another rainbow beam, this time at Cobrax, who is surrounded by nixed versions of Squiddo and Voltz, and brings the colorful life back into him as well. Cobrax shoots two beams into the air after holding out his sais. Booger shoots one last beam at Mysto, surrounded by Gummo and Brohawk, and he cheerfully spins his staff in the air and smashes it back down on the ground, shooting color into the air and around the floor.
Booger's crew is joined by all three Nindjas he un-nixed and they slowly approach King Nixel, dancing along the way.
"COME ON, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Complained King Nixel.
The Nixels behind him continuously chant "Nix" as he says this and can be seen dancing. Three more nixed Mixels (Munchstache, Shivor, and Thornee) approach the dancing Mixels. Booger spins around and sends a rainbow beam their way, turning them back into colorful Mixels. Munchstache high fives Shivor.
They all group together and continue walking in King Nixel's way.
"Mixel zombies..." Called King Nixel.
Cut to small chamber that opens up; steam exits and fills the air as emotionless and colorless versions of Crunchee, Krog, and Oozly walk out of it.
"ATTACK!" Demanded King Nixel.
Another chamber opens up, with steam exiting and zombified Vaka-Waka, Frostbite, and Gastropodd exit. The protagonists watch as these Mixels approach them, and then dance together before using their powers together to send more beams at Vaka-Waka, Frostbite, and Gastropodd to bring their color back, and then do the same to Crunchee, Krog, and Oozly. Krog high fives Crunchee, and then Oozly, whose hands are covered in slime, and gets slime all over his hands. The team of Mixels form a circle.

Booger then walks into the middle and grows into a giant, sending a rainbow liquid beam at King Nixel, but misses. King Nixel screams and runs away with all of the other Nixels there.
"Hey, kid, watch where you point that thing!" Complained King Nixel.
Another splash of color is sent and misses as well, as King Nixel exits the scene. Booger holds a cubit and poses. Cut to King Nixel.
"Nixel minions, amalgamate!" Barked King Nixel.
The Nindjas start to stack together. Cut to the I-Cubit station.
"Everyone! At the center of the platform!" Shouted Mysto off-screen.
The Nindjas leap into the scene.
"We must replace that control Cubit!" Said Mysto.
*Commercial Break*
The Nixel amalgamate jumps in front of the control Cubit, roaring, causing the Nindjas to vibrate, dazing them, which they snap out of.
"I really don’t like this guy." Muttered Spinza.
The amalgamate roars at the Nindjas. Cut to Booger, holding his Cubit.
"Nindjas, heads up!" Called Booger.
He throws his Cubit towards them, which Mysto catches.
"Hey, it’s a Cubit!" Said Spinza and Cobrax.
"Let’s max!" The Nindjas shouted out.
All three touch the Cubit, maxing them.
"Time to party, you big, hunking, piece of-" Said the Nindjas Max.
"I’m going long!" Interrupted Booger as he ran past the Nindjas Max.
"Booger!" Said the Nindjas Max.
Booger runs towards the control station, dodging the fist of the amalgamate and running between its legs. He whistles towards the Nindjas Max.
"I’m open!" Shouted Booger.
The Nindjas Max throws the Cubit, which flies between the legs of the amalgamate, which Booger catches.
"Got it!" Exclaimed Booger.
"No, no, no! Stop him, you fools!" Barked King Nixel.
The amalgamate turns around towards Booger.
"Yikes!" Shouted the Nindjas Max.
The Nindjas Max starts charging towards the amalgamate and slices through its back, scattering the Nixels down corridor bottom.

"Oy.. there goes the neighborhood." Muttered Booger.
The zombified Nixels start to swarm the now-unmaxed Ninjas and Booger.
"Hurry, Booger! Swap those Cubits! Nindja!" Shouted Mysto.
Booger heads towards to the control panel Cubit as Mysto hits a zombified Fridjerk with his staff. Cut to Spinza spiraling his katanas as a zombified Crunchee starts to approach him.
"Time to scramble a few bad eggs!" Said Spinza.
Spinza spiraled his body, disassembling Crunchee. Cut to Cobrax being approached by a zombified Gummo.
"Go ahead, Booger!" Cobrax told Booger.
Cobrax then poked Gummo in the eye with his tail.
"We gotcha covered." Assured Cobrax as he spun one of his sais casually.
An off-screen voice suddenly started counting down to 10. Booger shoves the I-Cubit off of the platform and places the rainbow Cubit on it. However, in the background, the giant pile of The Darkness slithered through the entire fight, slithering towards Booger.
"Not good, NO!" Shouted King Nixel as he realized that the rainbow cubit was about to fail his plans.
The Cubit starts to shine as the zombified Mixels still approach and the Nindjas react in fear. A blast of light shines throughout the console, hitting the nixed Mixels and restoring their colors, including Vampos and Globert. The countdown continues as it cuts to King Nixel.
"Sayonara, Booger!" Shouted King Nixel as he pushed a button.
"W-w-what?! No, no! Aaah!" Yelped Booger.
The rocket top screws on top of the Cubit and Booger.
"Booger!" Worried the group of Mixels.
"GOTCHA! Thought you could thwart my plans, well? Time for a little ride!" Laughed King Nixel.
"2... 1..." Counted the countdown voiceover.
Cut to outside the building, which starts to shake and opens in half, releasing the rocket.
"This is it!" Laughed King Nixel.
"0..." Continued the countdown voiceover.
The rocket is fully out in the open. The boosters start up and the rocket launches off. Cut to King Nixel.
"Mixopolis is finished!" Shouted King Nixel as he laughed and cried at the same time.
Cut to the rocket, then towards a crowd of Mixels looking onward towards it.
"Oh, no! What are we gonna do? We’re all doomed!" Shouted the crowd of mixels.
Cut to the rocket flying it the air. Cut to a Frosticon parent and her children.
"My babies!" Shouted the Frosticon Parent as she covered the eyes of her children.
Cut to the inside of the rocket, where we see Booger banging on the walls in an attempt to break free from the roof of the rocket.
"Come on, please just break!" Worried Booger as he continued to attempt to smash the roof.
However, Booger then grew tired and started panting. He sat down next to the podium, where he noticed a small door on it. In curiosity, Booger opened the door, only to find a parachute. In the background, static was heard along with a slightly bitcrushed version of Boogly laughing. Booger grabbed the parachute and turned behind himself, only to yelp at the sight of Boogly being covered in The Darkness.
"How'd you get here?" Asked Booger.
"Föř țhåţ, ýbə ýøu wīłļ ņėvêř ķnøw." Said Corrupted Boogly.
(Fun Fact: The way Corrupted Boogly stutters his "m" sound references Sans' voice in Undertale.)
"Wait, what?" Questioned Booger.
Cut to outside of the rocket, where we hear Booger screaming.

8 223Single Mother Cultivator: Determination to deny her naïve son a terrible destiny
Lucia Martinez had to fight for every little victory in her life, especially when she was responsible for raising a teenage son by herself. But when the teen gets summoned to another world by a dysfunctional martial sect as their would-be savior, she’ll have to fight harder than ever just to get him back. Brought along to a world of Eastern fantasy, Lucia finds herself face to face with obscure magical creatures, various rich cultures, and a familiar yet unique chi-based magic system that every faction has their own way of looking at. Single Mother Cultivator is as the title suggests, a Cultivation novel. Unlike other Cultivation stories, this one focuses on multiple Asian mythologies rather than just Chinese myth, and isn’t just a generic power fantasy. It explores the very nature of strength itself, and how it could and should be used. The foundational power system is the same for both major factions, with differences in their philosophies on how to pursue it. New chapters on Mon-Wed-Fri

8 390Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!
