《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.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
