《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 3: The Big Reveal

Advertisement

"..Wait, since when did you.. I'm actually kinda confused." Said Zorch.

Volectro walked up to Teslo, anxiously but carefully. The french-fry Electroid was clearly not ready for this situation.

"Teslo, just let me go! I don't need more of thi-î-ï-î..." Major Nixel started to glitch out and then before he knew it, he became corrupted.

The scene does a glitch transition to Major Nixel lying on his back in a black void with glitchy particles. Major Nixel got up on his feet and walked around, but then he hit a forcefield. He tapped it twice and kicked it afterwards, but it didn't break. What was it made of, plexiglass? It's not like it's impossible to break, right?

"HELLO? ANYONE HERE!?" Shouted Major Nixel.

After what Major Nixel said, various spotlights lighted up over him and more people who were covered in the darkness. We see many of the people who were corrupted in their own forcefields.

(A/N: They're not corrupted in this place, and that's because this is Khanselle's mindscape.)

These people are various Learning With Pibby background characters, Jewel Sparkles, Mittens Fluff N' Stuff, Meltus, Murp Romp Teslo, Krader, the Animaniacs, and many more.

"...Okay, I shouldn't have asked." Major Nixel told himself.

Suddenly, Major Nixel heard slight banging next to his forcefield, and it came from a small ladybug.

"Help, please!" Pleaded the ladybug with a squeaky voice.

"I need to get back to my friend, Pibby! Please!"

"Yeah, and I want out of here too. Now." Said Major Nixel.

Suddenly, eerie laughing was heard, and then a pile of glitchy goop appeared in the ring of people and grew three eyes. The goop rose up, and started to look like a blob-like creature.

"...What is that thing?" Murp Romp Teslo asked himself.

"I have the same question, it looks disgusting." Complained Jewel.

The blob stretched its arm out to Jewel's forcefield and punched it, scaring Jewel Sparkles so hard it made her yelp.

"I.. Î ğo bý mâņý ê§," Introduced the blob.

"Būț ýøu mąy ça-ăł me 'Khanselle'."

Khanselle stretched its arm back onto itself and it decided to move itself towards Major Nixel. It observed him, mostly his mustache. If barely any mixels have hair, then how could Major Nixel and King Nixel grow mustaches anyway?

"Ah, Mäj-j-j-jøř Ñ!xel, thə m0§t paťhêțîc leadëř ôf the ń!xeł äřmy-y-ý..." Insulted Khanselle.

"HEY, I'M NOT PATHETIC!" Barked Major Nixel.

Major Nixel kicked the forcefield once again in anger, except Khanselle snickered at his anger. Cut to a far away shot of Mixel Land (exactly like in the end of ECA) where we see Corrupted Murp Romp Teslo & Corrupted Major Nixel chasing the group of mixels while the terrain switches to various appearances. After a few seconds, the Lightbulb Sun started blast an almost blinding light. Cut back to the fight between Corrupted Meltus (who still has the long legs made from the glitchy goop) and the tribal Mixel leaders.

Part of the light that the Lightbulb Sun was shining out was shining onto Mixel Mountain, the tribal leaders, and Corrupted Meltus. The light grew a bit stronger by the second, causing the seven mixels to notice. The Flain & Gobba mix split from being tired from fighting the glitchy mech so hard, but then the two mixels noticed the blinding light.

"Huh? Is that the sun?" Asked Gobba.

Suddenly, the Flurr & ECA Teslo mix split due to being fused for so long.

"Agh, my eyes!" Shouted Flurr.

As the light got even stronger, Flamzer suddenly came up with a plan.

"Guys, grab onto me!" Shouted Flamzer.

"Flurr, fly to the west and let me grab your legs while you fly!"

"Wait, what for?" Asked Flurr.

"Just trust me already!" Shouted Flamzer.

But the light got so strong, only the outline of everything and everyone in a white background could be seen (and Flamzer's tail's silhouette was slightly glitching at this time). However, none of the mixels gave up as Flamzer grabbed onto Flurr's feet, but before the other mixels could grab onto Flamzer, the white void suddenly turned to black and the mixels were back to normal except for Corrupted Meltus.

(A/N: By the way, Flamzer's tail's silhouette immediately stopped glitching after the blinding light as gone, which foreshadows Flamzer's fate.)

"What the- wasn't it blinding just now?" Asked Gobba.

"I have the same question." Said Kraw.

Corrupted Meltus eerily and glitchily giggled, grabbing the tribe leaders' attention.

"Dòņ'ţ yø-o-o-õu get it? Yøuř 'M!×ęl Ł@nđ' fíčțîöņ@ł §høw." Glitched Corrupted Meltus.

"Wait a minute, that's impossible!" Protested Teslo.

"Yeah, how can we be fictional if we're still here-e-e?" Asked Kraw.

As if to answer his question, the black void soon turned into a wall which was projecting various names of people the mixels haven't heard of and playing a cheery melody.

The mixels looked upon the credits in confusion and shock.

"'John Fang'? Never heard of him!" Said Gobba.

"..Who are these people?" Asked Kraw.

"I have no idea." Replied Flamzer.

Corrupted Meltus walked over to the credits, keeping his eerie smile.

"Ýoúř whõļę lìvə§, ýou'vê bë-e-əń łivîng ińšįde a ȚV @-a-ãnd yõû " Said Corrupted Meltus.

"Pssh, I'd have a hard time believing THAT!" Laughed Gobba.

"...We have?" Asked Flain in disbelief.

But before anything could happen, Corrupted Meltus blasted Flain onto the credits using a blast of glitchy goop from his left hand, causing the other mixels to gasp.

"Ýøų sţüpîd mi-" Corrupted Meltus suddenly got pummeled by Gobba's fist before he could finish.

"LEAVE FLAIN ALONE, IMPOSTOR!" Shouted Gobba.

Gobba screamed as he ran towards Corrupted Meltus, and the other mixels followed suit except for Flurr and Flamzer. Flurr flew up to Flain and tried to get him off of the goop while Flamzer remembered how he traveled through time. He walked to the wall which was now showing Vulk on a turntable saying "Remi-i-ix!".

"I'm.. I'm not real?" Flain asked himself.

"Don't believe him, Flain!" Flurr told Flain.

"He's only just scaring you! We'll get out of here soon!"

Flamzer put the fire of his tail up against the wall and then, like all of the other times this had happened, it created a hole in the wall. Unlike all of the other times he created a hole in the wall in this story, the hole led to a dark navy blue hallway full of portals to various shows.

"Everyone, IN HERE!" Shouted Flamzer.

The mixels stopped fighting and ran into the hole except Flurr. Cut to Flurr & Flain.

"Flurr, I.. I.." Said Flain who slightly glitched.

"Come on, there isn't enough time!" Begged Flurr.

"..I don't bel-ľíve hí-í-ï-!m." Said Flain, becoming corrupted.

Flurr started to cry in such sorrow, but then he flew towards the hole. However, Meltus grabbed very tightly onto his tail, pulling him away from the hole.

"FLURR!" Shouted the tribal leaders.

"Just go without me, it's much safer!" Flurr told the tribal leaders.

The winged Frosticon leader used his ice breath to seal up the hole and sacrifice himself to the glitchy goop, hoping the other tribal leaders would be safe.

*Commerical Break*

The tribal leaders looked in shock as they realized Flurr sacrificed himself to save the rest of the tribal leaders. Flamzer started to shed a tear, and then he saw down and covered his eye with his two arms.

"Why'd Flain have to go?" Cried Flamzer.

Flamzer then started to cry, and then Teslo sniffed and hugged Flamzer, crying along with him.

"Those two mixels were true heroes, they sacrificed themse-e-elves just to save us." Said Kraw.

Gobba walked over to pat Teslo's back, but then he noticed all of the portals on every space of the walls in the dark blue hallway. Little did they know, they have already shattered the 4th wall.

"Could you please hold onto my special glow-in-the-dark sparkle stone ring?" Asked a blue ballerina girl with purple hair in one portal.

"Heya kids, it's that time again!" Exclaimed a purple fox wearing a red turtleneck sweater in another portal.

"Octo-Block, draw!" Shouted a magenta creature with many tentacles in yet another portal.

"..Where are we now?" Asked Gobba.

Teslo got up and looked around, cautiously. What kind of place is this, and what was that glitchy slime-like substance, anyway? The other three mixels followed, eyeing the various distinctive portals that they saw everywhere they looked.

"A one! A two! A one, two, three, four!" Shouted a childlike voice.

After the childlike voice was heard, guitar music began to play. Kraw looked to his right to see a human in a red beanie and a green dress playing what he thought was the guitar but was actually a ukulele next to a navy-colored cat.

(A/N: Credits to Glitchy Yoshi for helping me remember Peg plays the ukulele, not the guitar.)

"Peg plus cat!" Sang the human.

The cat scatted when the human sang. Kraw crawled closer to the portal, listening to the ukulele music. Meanwhile, the other three decided to stop as Teslo heard Kraw singing along. Gobba looked behind himself and ran towards Kraw.

"Hey, what'cha singing to?" Asked Gobba with a smile.

"AGH, NOTHING!" Shouted Kraw in embarrassment.

Gobba looked at the portal, spotting a human and a navy-colored cat.

"..Oh, this looks cool!" Said Gobba.

"Gobba, focus! We have lives to save." Teslo told Gobba.

"Yeah!" Agreed Flamzer.

Gobba and Kraw looked at Teslo and then the four mixels continued their exploration in this mysterious hallway.

"What was that?" Asked a voice.

Flamzer looked to his right to see a portal that included a blue girl with purple hair (except she wasn't a ballerina) and her friends facing off against the exact same glitchy goop he and many other mixels have faced.

"IT'S COMING! RUN!" Shouted the blue girl.

The other three mixels looked at the portal in curiosity, worry, and shock. Gobba tried to go into the portal, but Teslo was pulling him away due to him not wanting himself and the other mixels falling into the glitchy goop.

"COME ON, WE'VE GOTS TO SAVE THEM!" Shouted Gobba.

"But what if we fall into the glitchy stuff instead? We can't risk that!" Teslo told Gobba.

Flamzer and Kraw also started to pull Gobba away. However, the mixels suddenly heard the red beanie human from earlier yelp, and Gobba and Kraw ran after the portal. In the portal, the human and her cat saw a pile of glitchy goop, almost exactly like in the portal to the blue girl's home.

"AGH, NOT THOSE GUYS!" Shouted Kraw and Gobba.

Before Teslo and Flamzer could try and stop the other two mixels, Kraw and Gobba had already jumped into the portal, causing Teslo and Flamzer to face-palm themselves in unison. Speaking of which, Peg & Cat were backing away from the glitchy goop, a worried feeling stirring ahead. However, Peg & Cat suddenly heard far-away screaming. The screaming grew closer and closer and before the duo knew it, a giant orange crab and a brown who-knows-what grabbed them and jumped somewhere, except it was an invisible portal to a dark blue hallway that had two more creatures Peg & Cat had never met before.

"Hi, everybody!" Greeted Cat.

Gobba and Kraw put Peg & Cat down, but then the two mixels lined up in front of the duo.

"Ahem, I'm Gobba and this is Kraw, Flamzer, and Teslo!" Introduced Gobba.

"No, this ain't our home, we're here right now because ours is infected by the same goop you guys were facing!"

"..Okay. I'm Peg and this is Cat." Said Peg.

"So how did you get to our place?"

Kraw and Gobba suddenly got confused. They thought she would know how she got here from the millions of portals all around the group of kids' show characters.

"Uh, the portals?" Said Cat.

"Yeah, those things! I don't know why, but they're everywhere in here!" Exclaimed Gobba.

"Can I have a chance to talk to it?" Kraw whispered to Gobba.

"Oh, go ahead!" Gobba whispered back.

*Commercial Break*

"I know that you're wondering what we are. It's kinda obvious." Kraw told Peg.

"We're mixels and we-e-e're also kinda not supposed to be here, but we had to go here in order to survive. The glitchy goo-o-o-op took over Tentro, Flain, Flurr, and possibly even almo-o-ost every other mixel!"

Cut to Peg & Cat, looking worried at the things the mixels in front of them have faced due to the glitchy goop.

"I thought it was just evil slime!" Said Cat.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too at first!" Flamzer told Cat.

"However, there's much more to it than just corrupting OUR friends, what if it corrupts everyone in these portals? What if it corrupts the entire GALAXY!?"

Teslo grabbed Flamzer and started to shake him rapidly to try to calm the Infernite down.

"Flamzer, get a grip! That'll happen if we don't do something about it at all!" Teslo told Flamzer.

Cut to a close-up of Teslo.

"Besides, being nixed is similar to being corrupted by that.. glitchy substance." Continued Teslo.

Fade to a white void with a few colored silhouettes of background mixels and recognizable cartoon characters.

"When someone is nixed," Said Teslo, and then the colored silhouettes of background mixels turned gray.

"They're turned into mindless zombies and it can hurt the hearts of anyone who sees that.."

The colored silhouettes of recognizable characters turned black and glitchy.

"And the glitchy substance isn't any different from that characteristic. But with the power of a cubit,"

The gray silhouettes turned into a cubit pattern, and then back to their original colors.

"They can be cured almost instantly, although we don't actually know if it works like that the same way for the glitchy substance."

The scene fades back to a close-up of Teslo.

"It may be a hypothesis, but it's one that we may need in order to survive this apocalypse so we'll need to collect as many cubits as we can just in case." Said Teslo.

Cut back a medium shot of the group of cartoon characters.

"Salutations, sir!" Exclaimed a masculine voice.

The voice appeared so suddenly, it made Peg, Cat, Flamzer, and Gobba jump.

"May I please enter? I have some urgent information to communicate with my pal, Moony." Said the voice again.
