《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 11: An Unexpected Encounter
Advertisement
Cut to the Cragsters and the Infernites looking down upon the portal where they saw the creatures from last chapter.
"I don't know if I should go in there, curiosity did kill the Mixie Cat." Said Flain, concerned.
Vulk and Zorch looked down upon the portal, only to find that the inside of it was glitching, and then it immediately switched from a sky view of somewhere on Earth to somewhere in Mixel Land, where an all-out battle had happened between mixels and.. glitchy whatever-it-was.
"Now this is interesting." Zorch said to himself.
Zorch hopped inside the portal and cheered on the fight.
"Zorch? Flain said we shouldn't be in there." Worried Vulk.
"Come on, it's not like it'll hurt anybody!" Exclaimed Zorch.
All of a sudden, a flying mix of Rokit, Past Zorch, and Past Seismo flew out of the portal with Corrupted Nurp-Naut following the mix. Two of the Series 1 tribes looked at the commotion in the sky in either shock, confusion, or entertainment.
"Krader, me scared!" Seismo told Krader.
"Yeah yeah, me too!" Worried Krader.
Krader and Seismo then hugged in fear of the commotion, while Shuff and Zorch were cheering on the fight.
"Guys, don't encourage it, this could be really serious!" Flain told Zorch and Shuff.
Cut to the mix and Corrupted Nurp-Naut, where Corrupted Nurp-Naut was flying around and dodging the mix's fire-coverd rocks. The mix kept shooting and shooting, causing the rocks to hit the sides of his head, part of his cheek, and his shoulder. However, Corrupted Nurp-Naut attempted to bash the mix, but the mix had dodge him.
"YOU AIN'T GETTIN' ME THIS TIME!" Shouted the mix.
Suddenly, Corrupted Nurp-Naut suddenly bashed into the mix, causing it to split into Rokit, Past Zorch, and Past Seismo, and all three of them were falling down.
"QUICK! DIG-DIG!" Shouted Krader.
The Cragsters suddenly dug into the ground, popped out of the spot where they thought the three mixels were about to land, and ran around in an attempt to catch the three mixels.
(Fun Fact: This is a callback to an episode of Mixels called "Mailman".)
"I CATCH ZORCH!" Shouted Krader, with a worried expression upon his face.
Past Seismo suddenly crashed onto Krader with a loud thunk noise.
"I CATCH!" Shouted Shuff, also having a worried expression on his face.
Past Zorch suddenly landed next to Shuff, on his left. Shuff looked at Past Zorch in confusion.
"Oops." Said Shuff.
Cut to Seismo, Flain, and Vulk running around to try and catch Rokit, with Zorch standing by, still chanting "fight". Suddenly, Rokit swooped over Seismo, Flain, and Vulk, with Corrupted Nurp-Naut still on his tail.
"I did not see that coming." Admitted Flain.
*Commercial Break*
Meanwhile, the four mixels that the Nindjas saw a bunch of chapters ago were walking past a dumpster, only they were wearing giant boxes as nixel disguises this time.
"Okay, if anyone asks, just say 'nix'." The Glorp Corpian told the other three mixels.
Two of the mixels said "nix", but the purple mixel said "uh.. ix-nay", and then the Glorp Corpian told the mixels that's it's better to let him do the talking. However, Boogly screaming is heard in the background, which slowly becomes louder by the minute.
"Wait, do you guys hear that?" Asked the Glorp Corpian.
Cut to Boogly screaming flying downwards in a spiral kind of way, with two nixels on his rear legs who are both attempting to hold on while Boogly spirals downwards to the ground. When Boogly reached the ground, he did not touch it, bit he did change course and quickly flew in circles in the alley where the four mixels were.

"GET THEM OFF!!!" Yelled Boogly.
"Hold on, just spin faster! The nixels can't hold on longer if you go faster!" The Spikel of the four mixels shouted to Boogly.
Boogly didn't hear the Spikel, but the Nixels flew off of Boogly anyway due to the force. One pointy-eared nixel slammed itself onto the wall and fell onto a sleeping Gobbol while the other nixel (aka a cat-eared nixel) flew into a window.
"AGH! A NIXEL!" Shouted a mixel from inside the window.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to an overhead shot of Boogly and the four mixels. The Glorp Corpian cautiously asked Boogly who he was.
"..Uh.. I'm Boogly?" Questioned Boogly.
The Glorp Corpian paused before introducing himself and the other three mixels.
"Boogly, why did you come here with nixels on your legs?" Asked Zabo.
"Because Boogly saw nixels attacking Globert and Vampos and Nindjas! It was horrible!" Worried Boogly.
The four mixels gasped as they had realized the Nindjas were no more.
"Not the Nindjas!" Shouted Blip.
"..Uh.. why do you have boxes on your heads?" Asked Boogly.
"They're a disguise, and I think you should probably get one too. We're going in the I-Cubit tower and saving Globert and Vampos." Said Booger.
Boogly gasped in delight, as he just realized that his tribemates were going to be saved after all. Cut to inside Gobbol, where we see the Newzers hiding inside.
"I smell a story!" Realized Screeno.
"Dude, we're in a dumpster." Reminded Myke.
Cut to back outside of the dumpster, where Booger gives Boogly a giant box with one giant hole for Boogly's face, four small holes for his legs, and two medium stick-shaped holes for his appendages.
"Alright, follow me, and only say 'nix' if anyone asks you anything." Said Booger.
Boogly and the four mixels then walked out of the alley. Meanwhile, the Newzers jumped out of Gobbol.
"Come on! We've got to follow them!" Exclaimed Screeno.
Gobbol's lid slams shut and he closes his eyes. Cut to the kids and Boogly walking to the front of the I-Cubit building, where pipes of Cubit essence flow on the sides of it. They stop for a car to drive past and continue walking. The Newzers follow right behind them, and stop across the street.
"It's the I-Cubit building." Screeno said to himself.
The Newzers look up at the top decoration. Cut to the kids and Boogly.
"Dude, they have security." Realized Scrud.
Cut to two Nixel mechs that step in front of the door.
"Robo-security." Corrected Boogly.
"You know, just stay cool, and leave it to me." Assured Booger.
The kids and Boogly stop in front of the mechs.
"Uh, nix, nix?" Asked Booger.
"Nix, nix!" Said Scrud, Blip, Zabo, and Boogly.
The mechs look at each other and step aside, as the doors open. The kids and Boogly walk through.
"Nix!" Said Zabo as he waved at the mechs.
The doors shut and the mechs shrug at each other. Cut to the interior hallway of the building. Various I-Cubit posters are on the wall as a zombified Gummo walks past, moaning. Cut to an elevator, where two Nixels are waiting.
A zombified Squiddo shambles out of it and the two Nixels get in, one standing on the other to press a button.
"Hold it, hold it!" Shouted Booger off-screen.
"WAAIIIT!" Shouted Boogly, also off-screen.
The Nixel jumps off the other as the kids and Boogly board the elevator.
"Thanks, fella." Said Booger.

The door closes. Cut to the inside of the elevator. The Nixels stare at the kids and Boogly suspiciously while Boogly hums "Gravity Plug".
"Umm... nix, nix? Nix, nix, nix, nix, nix, nix, nix nix!" Zabo told the nixels.
The Nixels gasp in shock. Cut to the exterior of the elevator. The two Nixels exit, laughing, as Scrud, Blip, and Booger glare at Zabo in annoyance while Boogly stares at Zabo in confusion.
"What? It's a funny story." Asked Zabo as he and the others exited the elevator.
Nixed Ash enters the elevator as Nixed Frostbite walks past. Cut to the room, where we see multiple nixels walking around. The kids and Boogly gasp in shock.
"Whoa, man, look at this place!" Realized Scrud.
"..Uh.. Boogly doesn't like this." Admitted Boogly.
"Neither do I, but remember what we came here for, Boogly." Assured Booger.
Video feed cut to outside of the I-Cubit building, where the Newzers are.
"We'll never get past the guards!" Complained Myke.
"Hey! It's Camsta!" Exclaimed Screeno as he looked up.
"Seems like you guys could use a lift, not to mention our ratings." Said Camsta.
"Grab ahold, I'll get us in!"
The other Newzers grab onto Camsta's ski and he lifts them up. Cut to him flying to the decoration on the I-Cubit building. He approaches the top window and opens it.
"Hah, how do you like that? Somebody left the door open!" Laughed Camsta.
The Newzers fly onto the rafters of the room. Cut to King Nixel looking at a set of monitors with his airship on the picture.
"Give me a report, Major!" Demanded King Nixel.
Cut to the airship flying over the stadium.
"I'm flying high above the fracas, we're heading for Mixopolis Stadium!" Noted Major Nixel.
Cut to Major Nixel and a Nixel's image on the monitors.
"We should be able to wrap this up shortly and be back in time for dinner." Said King Nixel.
The screen cuts to the stadium image. Cut to King Nixel standing next to a Nixel.
"The city is mine!" Laughed King Nixel.
King Nixel grabbed the Nixel by the arms and swung him around.
"It's mine, mine, mine!" Shouted King Nixel.
King Nixel then let go of the Nixel and let him fly off-screen.
"Weak-minded Mixels, how easy it was to convince them to give up their Cubits! Those fools!" Laughed King Nixel.
Cut to the Newzers. Camsta extends his camera towards King Nixel as his visage shows through the lens. Cut to Mixopolis Stadium, where King Nixel is being shown on the monitors. The Airship flies above the stadium.
"Would you look at that! I can see you on the Jumbotron!" Said Major Nixel off-screen.
"Huh? What's that, Major?" Questioned King Nixel.
Cut to the inside of the Airship, Major Nixel and the Nixel looking nervous.
"Uh, nothing, Your Egregiousness! As you were saying?" Lied Major Nixel.
Cut to the stadium, where King Nixel is onscreen as an entire audience Mixels watch.
"Oh, yes, what dolts! What dimwits!" Shouted King Nixel.
Cut to the Mixels in the crowd looking shocked and feeling insulted.
"Hey! That guy's a jerk!" Realized Combustor.
Cut back to the monitor.
"What dunderheads!" Shouted King Nixel.
Cut to King Nixel laughing in his lair. Five Nixels come up to him and stack up, the top one whispering to him. The camera zooms out, where we see the kids and Boogly.
"What's that guy doing?" Zabo whispered to Booger.
"That's King Nixel! And he must be plotting something horrible!" Realized Booger.
"No kidding, Booger!" Said Boogly.
A few pats were heard, and then camera pans down, only to find that a part of The Darkness was patting Booger's leg. Booger blinks twice, and then he looks behind himself, but he saw nothing. He looked up, but he saw The Darkness leaking from above, with Corrupted Flain, Corrupted Rambamboo, and Corrupted Nurp-Naut (currently switched to Naut) sticking onto it. Booger gasps in shock, and warned the other kids and Boogly about the situation.
However, The Darkness suddenly dropped down from the ceiling, so Boogly knew what he had to do.
Boogly backed up and pushed the kids out of the way, causing Boogly to be engulfed in the giant mass of glitchy slime.
"BOOGLY!" Shouted Booger.
"The stadium has been Nixelized!" Exclaimed King Nixel off-screen.
"It's time to begin phase three!"
Cut to Major Nixel and King Nixel.
"But your Wickedness-" Reminded Major Nixel.
"No buts, Major! From now on, Mixopolis will be called 'Nixopolis'!" Shouted King Nixel.
"..Oh yeah, I forgot he's there." Realized Zabo.
"Also, 'Nixopolis' is a really bad name for a city."
Booger shook his head and took off his box disguise, and then the other kids and also took off their disguises afterwards.
"Hey King Nixel, let's see what the Nindjas have to say about your evil plan!" Shouted Booger.
"Yeah, Globert and Vampos will be there to stop you too!" Yelled Zabo.
"Yeah, those guys too!" Agreed Blip.
"What? Let's just see what they have to say about it." Said King Nixel.
An elevator drops onto Nixed Twinzy-Twinsy as a Nixel pushes a button on it. Steam exits the door as it opens up. The three Nindjas are in it, all nixed with spirals in their eyes as they stumble out. Another elevator drops down on the opposite side of the wall, and it opens it up, with a lot of steam coming out along with two of the Nixed Glowkies.
"Mysto! Spinza! Cobrax! And I think those other guys are Globert and Vampos! They've been Nixelized!" Shouted Booger.
"Ooh, that's not all! I have succeeded in scamming all of Mixopolis into handing over every last Cubit!" Explained King Nixel.
"Then, I cleverly reduced the Cubits down to their pure liquid essence and reversed the osmosis of their sub-molecular maxillary! Uh, don't ask me how."
King Nixel walked over to a device where an I-Cubit is floating and a monitor shows his plans.
"I loaded it all into a super-ballistic missile, which will soon be blasted into the stratosphere, and rain back down on Mixopolis, absorbing the entire color spectrum!" Shouted King Nixel.
"Okay, that's... a little harsh, but Mixopolis is my town! I won't let you do it!" Protested Booger.
"What could one small Mixel possibly do to stop me, when I have all the Cubits!" Laughed King Nixel.
"Oh, yeah?" Questioned Booger.
Booger pulled out his Cubit, showing it off to King Nixel.
"Say hello to my little friend!" Shouted Booger, imitating an Italian accent.
"WHAT!? YOU HAVE THE LAST CUBIT!?" Barked King Nixel.
"NINDJAS, GLOWKIES, SEIZE HIM!"
The nixed mixels from the two elevators run towards the kids, as they back away and other nixed Mixels follow suit, backing them into the corner.
"The Nindjas have been Nixelized..." Complained Scrud.
"King Nixel is taking over the city..." Worried Booger.
"And we're about to fall off this really high platform to our doom!" Noted Blip.
"How will we get out of this one?" Asked Zabo.
"I got three words for you: Coordinated, group, dancing!" Said Booger.
"Huh?" Questioned the other kids.
"WHAT!?" Shouted King Nixel.

Find Grand, Valuable Treasure (which gets put into storage, because what use does an AI have with pill herbs?) Explore Strange and wonderful lands (that will be shortly stripped mined and exploited for all usable resources) |_+) JOIN US!______________________________________ ALPHA-555-12-4412 (Designation: Star Conquer).One of the 5 most powerful and advanced AI-driven Interstellar Weapon Platforms ever built, was programmed with a very simple mission. Travel the stars.Seek out new and hospitable Alien Worlds.Establish a Forward based for their Master's eventual colonization.And, If necessary, crush any and all native resistance it might find. It was a Mission that Alpha took seriously and dedicated its entire being to.However, when Alpha flies a liiiiitle to close to a Blackhole and gets sucked in, it is thrown into a situation that no amount of programming could prepare it for. Now stranded on an alien, yet familiar world, full of dangerous beasts and strange phenomenon its database has no record or explanation for, Alpha must find a way to not only survive, but thrive.And eventually to do what he was built to do. Conquer._____________________________________________________Some things to expect from this Story 1): MC is an AI programmed with a very specific goal. Thus don't expect him to think or act like a human might. That being said, he/it is not bloodthirsty and evil either. He is specifically programed to work with, and indoctrinate Native species when possible. He is not a demon lord come to end the world as they know it, but a Conqueror come to subjugate. 2): MC won't be getting some kind of Humanoid form or suddenly start trying to think like a Human. Although an AI, he is perfectly Sapient, and fully understands both what he is and what is mission is. He is capable of adapting and changing his thought process, but at the end of the day, the Mission is what matters to him. He doesn't see the need or even WANTS to be Human. The only exception to this might be Humanoid body doubles or puppets used in places his main body isn't able to go. 3): This story is a mix of both Sci-Fi and Cultivation novels. MC with NOT be able to Cultivate themselves (for obvious reasons), but using his technology and knowledge, will be able to adapt and repurpose the strange and exotic resources you might find in a Cultivation World to increase his power and keep up with the powerhouses of this Universe. 4): The Intention of this story is to alternate between it and Parasite King, so I don't get burned out writing either one. As such, updates, while not slow, won't be to quick. Bare with me for awhile till the wheels get rolling.
