《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 7: Back To The Pilot
Advertisement
(Fun Fact: The title of this chapter is a reference to a Family Guy episode of the same name.)
Teslo walks towards the portal, and then he lightly taps it. He turns towards the group of cartoons, just to ask one important question.
"Alright, who wants to go first?" Asked Teslo.
Nurp-Naut, S, and Rokit immediately raised their hand.
"Alright, goo-" However, a familiar voice interrupted Teslo.
"YÄĂÄ-Ā-Ą-" Shouted a gruff voice.
Teslo immediately turned around, along with most of the group, only to find a corrupted Krader running after them, while screaming.
"M!X3LŠ! G!VĖ " Shouted Corrupted Krader.
"HURRY, NOW!" Shouted Teslo, and then he jumped into the portal to Mixel Land.
The ones who wanted to go into the portal to Mixel Land, jumped into the portal with Teslo. Meanwhile, the ones who didn't want to go in split up and scrambled to jump into a portal near them, and one of them jumped into the Mixel Land portal. Speaking of which, we cut to behind the portal where we see Teslo, Nurp-Naut, S, and Rokit come out of the portal. However, T bumped into the group, grabbing their attention.
"Oh, totally sorry. Truthfully." Apologized T.
"Wait, I thought you didn't wanna go?" Questioned Rokit.
"I did two seconds ago, but then I changed my mind!" Said T.
Teslo was about to reply, but he was interrupted by a mixel who was grunting, almost as if he was struggling with something. The group looked to the right, seeing a bull-like Cragster attempting to grab a coconapple from a coconapple tree.
"YO SEISMO!" Called a faraway voice.
A red blur suddenly ran around and around the bull-like Cragster, but then the red blur revealed to be an Infernite who has fire on his feet.
"Hey man, what you ups to?" Asked the Infernite.
"Coconapple, yum-yum! Not in me tum-tum.." Said Seismo.
Cut to the group of toons, with the rest of the audio of Coconapple playing in the background.
"..Can't he just climb on its trunk or somethin'?" Asked Rokit.
"No, we can't interfere with alternate universes, especially ones from our world!" Teslo told Rokit.
"Well, then what're they gonna do instead, mix?" Asked Rokit.
As if to answer his question, the group saw Seismo and the Infernite mixing.
"..Called it." Said Rokit.
Rokit floated towards the river of Mixel Land and scooped out the marshmallow fluff to throw onto the ground next to him with one hand, and washed any excess fluff off of his brain with the other. Meanwhile, P landed in front of a giant house, and a rock cover of "12 Days of Christmas" was playing inside.
"..Hm, quite puzzling." P muttered to herself.
P popped in front of the door and opened it, only to find that everyone (except the human who was playing the rock music) was being attacked by hens, turtle doves, and partiges.
"What do we do? What do we do?" Asked Benson who was holding up a broom.
"I-" Benson suddenly whacked Skips, except he was trying to whack the turtle dove on him.
"Don't know!" Continued Skips.
"Excuse me?" Asked P and Pops in unison.
Immediately, 1 hen and 12 turtle doves attacked P while 2 hens and 21 turtle doves attacked Pops. Benson attempted to tackle the rock music player, but the player floated back out of his way and continued to play the song.
"ON THE FOURTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO MEEE!" Sung the player.

"FOUR CALLING BIRDS," With his electric guitar, he send four calling birds flying at Benson's face.
"THREE FRENCH HENS," Three French hens came and pecked Eileen's feet.
"TWO TURTLE DOVES," Two turtle doves flew onto Eileen's hair to peck it.
"AND A PARTIGE IN A PEAR TREEEEE!" 21 partiges flew out of the pear tree and started pecking everyone in the living room.
"Why does song have so many BIRDS?" Complained Rigby.
P attempted to fly to get away from the turtle doves, but the turtle doves were catching up with her.
"Get it off! Get it off!" Shouted P.
The rock music player was about to sing another verse, but Mordecai grabbed his shirt and told him to shut up.
"FIVE GOLDEN RIIINGS!" Shouted the rock music player.
Five golden rings suddenly appeared on the player's left hand, and then he punched Mordecai using that very hand.
"Prancing prairies!" Worried P.
"WOOOOAAAAAHH!" Shouted the player.
"FOUR CALLING BIRDS, THREE FRENCH HENS, TWO TURTLE DOVES, AND A PARTIGE IN A PEAR TREEEEE!" All of the mentioned birds attacked everyone, but then Eileen opened the door, hoping the birds would go out, but the birds just stayed in.
"OH NO!" Shouted Eileen.
"WOOOOAAAAAHH, ON THE SIXTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO MEEE! SIX GEESE O' LAYING," Six geese suddenly appeared on the stairs and pelted everyone except the player with eggs.
"FIVE GOLDEN RIIINGS!" Five golden rings suddenly appeared on the player's other hand.
P flew towards the player and tried to take his guitar away, but the player punched P into the ceiling.
"WOOOOAAAAAHH, FOUR CALLING BIRDS," Eileen squeezed through the geese just to get up the stairs, but four calling birds attacked her.
"THREE FRENCH HENS," Three French hens pecked Mordecai and Rigby's feet. Two for the blue jay, one for the raccoon.
"TWO TURTLE DOVES," Two turtle doves flew towards Pops and pecked his large head, ignoring his yelps and cries.
"AND A PARTIGE IN A PEAR TREEEEE!" A partige flew out of the pear tree inside the living room and pecked Rigby.
The player screamed, and then the scene cuts to outside of the house, with the scream still being heard, only now the scream was muffled.
*Commercial Break*
The scene transitions to M waking up in a monochrome school hallway, with the only colorful things being a few cute stickers being on some lockers. The Alphablock was slightly concerned, but he was more so puzzled about where exactly he woke up in. He walked towards a classroom door the label on the door said "104: MR. GOSLING". M cautiously opened the door, only to find a Monochrome classroom with twelve desks, a chalkboard, all the things any other classroom could have.
However, there was a bookshelf next to the door M went through.
"Just in case The Darkness makes its way here." M told himself.
He grabbed a few books from the bookshelf that he could use as defense. One of them being a physics textbook, the other being a science textbook. M then left the classroom, but this time, he saw a bright spotlight-like light to his left. He suddenly heard a yelp, and he saw two strange creatures who looked like they walked out of a mystery-themed comic book, both of which being in full color.
One was smaller than other creature, holding worriedly onto the other creature's arm, had a black and yellow short-sleeved shirt, brown pants, tan skin, brown and short hair, and bright green eyes. The other creature had the same hairstyle, a long-sleeved red shirt, jeans, and he was holding a flashlight that produced the spotlight-like light that M saw.

(A/N: The fake show above is kind of a mix of Scooby-Doo and The Grimm Sisters with some slight Tim Burton.)
M and the two boys stared at each other before screaming at each other. The long-sleeved boy threw his flashlight at M, and it hit his chest.
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Shouted the short-sleeved boy.
"YOU TELL ME FIRST, I'M TOO SCARED RIGHT NOW!" Shouted M.
"Guys!" Announced the long-sleeved boy.
"Can you both shut up for one second?"
He cleared his throat and introduced himself as "Jackson Honest" and he told M that the short-sleeved boy was named "Jason Honest" and that he was his brother.
"..Oh, that's merry. I'm M." Said M, still freaked out by what had happened earlier.
M looked around and asked the Honest Brothers where he was. Jackson said that he was in Albright Middle School, and that he and Jason were looking for ghosts.
"Oh no, ghosts?" Worried M.
"That Darkness stuff from before is at least more malicious than this."
Jackson snickered at "The Darkness", except he really didn't know what he meant.
"You're afraid of the dark?" Questioned Jackson.
"Hey, that's not what I meant! There's this malicious slime that's corrupting everyone and it's just called 'The Darkness'." Explained M.
"It made me come here to have a more safe place since the Darkness must've invaded my home already."
Growling was suddenly heard in the background. M, Jason, and Jackson look around themselves, but they were the only ones in this school. The three cautiously walked forward through the hallway with Jason shakily holding his flashlight in fear and Jackson holding him to try and comfort him. M asked Jason why he and his brother started ghost-hunting, and Jason said "We had nothing better to do, so here we are.".
More growling was heard, which made M and Jason more afraid than they both already were.
"S-so, how long have you mastered ghost-hunting? Mostly many months or so?" Asked M, trying to bring some light into the situation.
"Eh, 3 or 5 weeks or so." Replied Jackson.
In the background, one locker with a slightly rusty label that said "31" was leaking some ectoplasm out of its holes, and the ectoplasm dripped onto the floor as it poured out of the holes. Cut to a medium shot of the Honest Brothers and M, with Jason and M looking worried while Jackson was looking determined. The growling was heard again, only it was much lower this time, and it even later became... whimpering?
"What the.." Muttered Jackson.
A shriek was heard, and then static. Familiar static indeed.
"..I think we should move backwards now, I know that noise means much danger from the Darkness." Worried M.
"Come on, M. At least face your fears, and besides, me and Jason have experience so we're not too worried." Jackson told M, in an attempt to make him braver.
The static soon grew louder by the second, and the more the mere sound grew, the more worried Jason and M became. However, a garbled roar was suddenly heard, and the scene cuts to the end of the hallway, where the shadow of a giant monster could be seen, eating a green light. The shadow went to the wall, revealing that the shadow was connected to a giant pile of The Darkness with a skull-like face.
(A/N: This is a reference to the giant blob of The Darkness with a skull-like face from the Pibby: Apopcalypse poster.)
"THERE IT IS!" Shouted Jackson, as he pulled out his phone from his pocket.
However, before he could take a good picture, Jason grabbed Jackson and dragged him back to the French doors, with M coming along the way. Jackson took three photos, or at least attempted to.
"Yes!" Exclaimed Jackson.
Jackson looked at the photos he took, and they were slightly blurry, but the first one was the blurriest.
"Dangit!" Complained Jackson.
Jackson put his phone back in his pocket and caught up with M and his little brother, Jason.
*Commercial Break*
It was a race against time, The Darkness versus two humans and an Alphablock. The giant pile of Darkness shoved itself aggressively towards the three, hot on their tail. However, before The Darkness could take them alive, all four of the characters were suddenly transported on a white counter into a commercial for a Happino's donut shop. A man in a blue apron, white shirt, and blond hair looked puzzled and a bit shocked at the four cartoons on the counter.
"KEEP MARCHING, IT'S MANDATORY!" Shouted M.
"Hey, I'm trying to do a commercial here!" The man told the four cartoons.
"SORRY!" Jason apologized to the man behind the counter.
But when the four cartoons climbed onto a donut display and went off-screen, they were now transported into a white void, aka the background of an episode of Mixels known as "Hamlonga Conveyor Belt".
"Hamlonga sandwich!" Said Zaptor as he walked over to a plate with a hamlonga sandwich on it.
Zaptor zapped himself, and then from above, another hamlonga sandwich was dropped onto the plate. Screaming is heard in the background, which is coming from M, Jason, and Jackson, but Zaptor's hamlonga addiction made him too focused on the hamlonga sandwiches to listen.
"Hamlonga sandwich!" Exclaimed Zaptor.
Zaptor spotted a lever behind him, which had a sign above it that said "SLOW / FAST". Zaptor looked at the plate of hamlonga sandwiches again.
"Hamlonga sandwich!" Exclaimed Zaptor.
Zaptor looked at the lever again, and then back at the plate of hamlonga sandwiches.
"HAMLONGA SANDWIIIICH!" Shouted Zaptor.
Zaptor zapped himself once again and then he rushed over to the lever, setting it from slow to fast.
*Commercial Break*
Meanwhile, Rokit was finally done cleaning the marshmallow fluff off of his brain and his eye.
"Stupid marshmallow fluffy stuff." Said Rokit in his head.
"If it weren't for that stupid pile, I wouldn't be such an amnesiac cyclops no more."
"Rokit, are you done yet?" Asked Naut.
"Yes. Can we go find shelter now?" Said Rokit, an annoyed look upon his face.
"I thought this was our shelter." Said T.
S looked to T in confusion.
"You thought this settlement was shelter?" Questioned S.
"Rokit, we were here just so we could wash the marshmallow fluff off of your brain, remember?" Teslo told Rokit.
Suddenly, the fire-feet Infernite and Seismo from a chapter ago fell back to the spot they were at when Teslo, two of the Orbitons, S, and T saw them.
"Me no like you." Seismo told the Infernite.
A coconapple from the coconapple tree under Seismo landed on him and then landed on the Infernite, knocking the bull-like Cragster out.
"Haha, coconapple!" Exclaimed the Infernite.
However, static was heard, and it was louder than a few chapters ago. Zorch looked around in confusion, but then he saw Krader covered in.. some kind of weird oil? Whatever it was, Krader was covered in it and he was charging towards Rokit.
"Oh, sup Krader!" Greeted Zorch.
Teslo looked to Krader as well, only to find in shock and horror that he's not the Krader that Teslo knew.
