《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 12: 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 reviving 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.
Cut to King Nixel, who is still laughing and crying at the same time.
"Top of the world, ma!" Shouted King Nixel.
Suddenly, a sign that said "MALFUNCTION" on one of the monitor screens started to flash, grabbing King Nixel's attention.
"Huh, What? What's happening?" Questioned King Nixel.
Cut to the rocket, which suddenly explodes. Cut back to King Nixel.
"NOOOOOOOO!" Yelled King Nixel.
Cut back to the explosion site. Cubit essence suddenly starts to pour out from it, scattering in the town. It slowly spreads onto the buildings, bringing color back to them.
"We're saved!" Exclaimed the Frosticon Parent.
Cut to three Nixels taunting Boldurr and Combustor, who are still nixed. Suddenly, a blast of color hits them, returning them and the scenery back to normal.
"Hey, what happened?" Asked Combustor.
"We're back! Time to get Mixel!" Exclaimed Boldurr and Combustor.
The two split up and chase the Nixels off. Cut to the color spreading again. Cut to nixed Thornee, Hurtz, and Voltz, who is holding an I-Cubit while three Nixels stand in front of them. A blast of color flies past them, returning them and the scenery back to normal, along with the Cubit.
The three of them Max, shooting electric beams from their hands at the Nixels, who run off. Cut to the stadium, where the Airship is still hovering. A beam of color spreads over it, landing in the stadium and spilling out, returning it back to normal. Inside, the nixed Mixels are returned back to normal, looking around in confusion, and then they start to cheer.
"We're back!" Exclaimed the Mixels.
Nixels are heard as they all turn towards three Nixels walking down the stairs, one with a paper hat and holding a popcorn tray, another holding a drink and a hot dog. They run off in fear when the Mixels see them.
"Let's get' em!" Shouted the Mixels as they started running after the Nixels.
Cut to the remainder of the stadium being filled with color. Cubits pop into the hands of Mixels and they cheer. Cut to the inside of the Airship, where Major Nixel and the Nixel look on in shock.
"I don't know about you, but I think we got a couple of weeks' vacation comin'." Major Nixel told the Nixel.
Cut to the Airship, which flies off.
"Next stop, Rancho Cucamonga!" Said Major Nixel off-screen.
Cut to the Sea Dawg rolling through the streets, chasing a hoard of Nixels while its front cannon goes off. Sharx and Skulzy are on board.
"Avast there, ye scurvy dogs!" Shouted Skulzy.
Cut to King Nixel.
"No, no! All of my glorious plans are crumbling to-" Shouted King Nixel, who got interrupted by a wave of color hitting him and two of the Nixels.
They slowly turn rainbow colored.
"What?! No! No! Aaaugh!" Shouted King Nixel.
The three start to dance uncontrollably.
"Holy Nixels, I've been... Mixellized!" Exclaimed King Nixel.
Cut to the back of King Nixel's head. A hatch is kicked out of the back of his head, and his true form, still in black and white, steps out and onto the shoulders of his fake self.
"That's it, I'm out of here!" Shouted King Nixel, who is now high-pitched.
King Nixel laughed as he jumps off of the shoulders onto the ground, where a micro spaceship is waiting for him. He jumps into it, as the engine stalls.
"Come on, come on!" Complained King Nixel.
A blast of flames shoots out of the back and it zooms off.
"I know I said this once before, but really, really, you haven't seen the last of me!" Yelled King Nixel.
Cut to a bug zapper-like Mix hanging in the base. The ship crashes into it, disentigrating.
"Okay, maybe you have..." Said King Nixel, pained.
The Mix breaks apart, revealing Slusho and Tungster, who both laugh. Cut to outside of the I-Cubit building, where tons of Mixels are rushing out, cheering. Piles of Nixels are on the ground, and the groups meet in the park.
"Hooray! Mixopolis is saved!" Exclaimed the Mixels.
The Mixels cheer and celebrate. Cut to Zabo, Blip, and Scrud.
"Well, well, what about Booger?" Worried Scrud.
"He's gone." Said Blip.
Zabo, Blip, and Scrud start to cry.
"Poor Booger..." Said Zabo.
Pan to the Nindjas.
"Indeed. Poor Booger. He saved us all." Said Mysto.
Cut to the group of Mixels, who are all crying. Cut back to the trio.
"Hey, look. I think that shining star is Booger looking down on us." Realized Scrud as he pointed upwards.
Cut to a glowing star in the sky, which grows bigger. Cut to the crowd of Mixels, who gasp. Cut back to the star, as Booger parachutes down with a rainbow trail and his eye closed.
"No, wait! It's... it's Booger!" Exclaimed Scrud off-screen.
Cut to Booger parachuting down, his eye still closed.
"Hooray! Booger! Booger!" Cheered the crowd of Mixels.
Cut to the crowd cheering as Booger lands near his friends.
"You saved Mixopolis!" Exclaimed Blip.
"You made it!" Said Zabo.
His friend group hug him.
"Aww, dude, you're the Mixel!" Exclaimed Scrud.
The four break their group hug.
"Thanks guys, I can't thank you enough for my service." Said Booger.
The four laugh. Cut to the Nindjas, where Mysto is seen holding a comic book.
"You have shown much courage, young Booger." Noted Mysto.
Mysto walks up to him and gives Booger the comic book.
"This is our gift for you." Said Mysto.
"Issue thirty-three, "Return of the Nindjas" original edition? I've been waiting for this for so long." Said Booger.
"With one small addendum!" Said Cobrax.
Booger opens the comic book to the end, which shows panels of him holding a Cubit, an explosion, him zapping a Nixel, and him looking triumphant.
"Whoa! "Booger Saves Mixopolis"!" Exclaimed the kids.
"And always remember the code of the Nindja..." Noted Mysto.
With color...
Diversity...
And mixing!
"It's the Nindja way, man." Said Spinza.
However, Mysto suddenly got a feeling as he looked at Booger, almost as if Booger may be someone else, maybe even as if Booger.. was an imposter.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to the inside of N, Crumbs, and Gobba's hideout.
"Alright, if I'm gonna be stayin' here, I wanna have some food. I get hungry very fast, trust me." Noted Gobba.
"Well, good news, you're actually in a bakery." Said Crumbs.
Gobba looked around, only to find that all of the counters are empty, save for some pastel-colored kitchenware.
"..But then where are the sweets at?" Asked Gobba as he shrugged.
"They're in the clos-" Crumbs stopped herself as she realized that N was in the closet, and so were the sweets.
"..Wait, N GOT TO THE SWEETS BEFORE ME?" Complained Gobba.
N face-palmed himself, clearly disappointed in Gobba's gluttony. Gobba ran to the closet and ate an entire jar of sugar cookies, along with the jar itself.
"Wait, stop! We have to save those for later!" Shouted Crumbs.
"NO! STOP MUNCHING THE SWEETS! IT'S NOT NECESSARY!" Yelled N.
Suddenly, Gobba stopped himself. Usually, he'd keep going, but his stomach felt... weird, almost like the time he got full eating all those Rock Pops and Bar-B-Cubes. Gobba coughed, but when he coughed, bits of The Darkness were spraying out. N and Crumbs gasped, catching Gobba's attention.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Asked Gobba.

World of Combat: A Dystopia Gamelit Series
In her world, single combat decides everything. It's her sixteenth birthday and Kiriai has a big decision to make. Will she fight for her dream to battle in the arena? Or buckle under her grandfather’s pressure to become a healer? Her best friend Eigo is an outcast from his scrounger family. On a recent expedition into the wastelands, he found a peculiar birthday gift for Kiriai—an AI trainer from a centuries-old, martial arts game. Could it give her the advantage she needs? Will Kiriai win the fight that decides her future? An impossible deadline, a persuasive mentor, and her own family all stand in Kiriai’s way. If she loses, she’ll be consigned to a mundane life, but more importantly, banned from the arena forever. Kiriai can't let that happen. Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
8 62Emperor NPC
The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale. A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god! “It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.” By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them. A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here! ---------------- I'm going to be upfront here. This is not an anti-hero story. So, if you've come for anti-hero you might not enjoy it. The cover art I commissioned from my friend @cyborgraptor. You can find her on twitter, or tumblr. Absolutely awesome person, and way too humble. She's also a great dps on WoW, and her and I always fought for top of the meters. I update every day, or nearly every day. I'll be updating this quickly as I bring it to parity with my other sites. Afterwards, expect 6 or 7 chapters a week. This is my only job and I approach it professionally.

8 201Devils Demons and Dead Men
By the time most people have heard of the newest multiplayer fantasy role-playing game Kings and Conquests, developer Fairly Unusual Games has been overwhelmed by a $200 million crowdfunding haul. Founders Accounts are going to six-figure contributors. There is talk of an augmented reality mobile accessory app and 3D printable treasures that can be sold for real money. The hype is beyond belief. Gaming fans go berzerk. With contributors and the media eagerly anticipating a release date announcement, Fairly Unusual's stock suddenly and inexplicably plunges. CEO Garrett Wyland, once a darling of both Silicon Valley and Wall Street, is indicted by a federal Grand Jury for insider trading the day before his company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Less than 48 hours later, Wyland is shot and killed by officers of the Mississippi Highway Patrol attempting to execute a fugitive warrant. A briefcase full of cash, a fake ID and an airline ticket are found in his car. Weeks pass. With accusations flying, lawsuits being filed nationwide and revelation after revelation rocking the online and offline media, a fourth-rate host of a little-known game streaming channel receives an e-mailed gift marked 'Kings and Conquests News' from one of his subscribers. Thinking it's some kind of prank, Jordan Hall opens it and discovers a Founder's account login to a fully functional Kings and Conquests server, a 100-year pre-paid subscription and map coordinates marking a dangerously isolated in-game location labeled 'Safekeep.' The e-mail is from Garrett Wyland.
