《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 13: The Darkness Within

"Gobba, do not move." Warned Crumbs.
Gobba looked around again, still in confusion.
"Oh, so I do have something on my face! Ha-hahah-hah!" Exclaimed Gobba.
N and Crumbs immediately pushed Gobba into the closet and pushed against the door, forcing it to stay closed.
"Ow, what's going on?" Complained Gobba.
"This is NOT a drill, it's for your own good!" Shouted N.
"Well, if I'm gonna be in here, at least tell me why!" Gobba shouted back as he grabbed a cup of wrapped cake pops.
Cut to the inside of the closet. Before Gobba could eat the entire cup, and before anyone could say anything, Gobba once again started to cough out The Darkness. Gobba gasped at the sight of The Darkness in the closet with him. Cut back to outside the closet, where Crumbs and N are still pushing onto the door.
"HELP, LET ME OUT! THE DARKNESS IS IN THE CLOSET!" Yelled Gobba as he banged on the closet.
"Yeah, 'The Darkness' that you coughed up!" N yelled back.
"N's right, we can't risk you coughing up The Darkness on us!" Said Crumbs.
However, Gobba suddenly stopped yelling, shouting, and banging on the door. An awkward silence has begun.
"..Gobba?" Asked Crumbs.
But Gobba didn't answer. Crumbs was about to grab the doorknob on the door of the closet, but N grabbed her hand to stop her from opening the closet.
"No, we can't risk it! I know something naughty when I see it!" Protested N.
Crumbs opened her mouth to protest, but she had no idea what to say, so she shot a bored look at N instead. All of a sudden, Gobba chomped a hole into the door, only to reveal that he has been fully corrupted and has a giant hand made of The Darkness inside of his mouth. Corrupted Gobba used his Darkness Hand to grab Crumbs' face, causing N to yelp in fear. N ran towards the door and opened it, only to find that Corrupted Pink Panther and Corrupted James were at the door.

"NO, NOO!" Shouted N.
N slammed the door shut and headed to the windows to try to pull the nailed-down planks off of them as an escape route, only he was having a harder time than he needed to do so. Meanwhile, in the background, Corrupted Pink Panther had used Corrupted James as a ram, causing the door to break down.
"Come.. on.. OPEN!" Shouted N.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to a medium shot of Rokit and Corrupted Nurp-Naut battling it out in the sky, with fireballs being thrown from the bottom of the scene. The camera pans out, revealing that Flain was firing the fireballs at Corrupted Nurp-Naut using the fire supply atop his head.
"Come on Flain, shoot him!" Worried Vulk.
"I'm trying, but that two-faced dude keeps moving around and it's messing up my aim!" Said Flain.
A punch sound was heard, and then Corrupted Nurp-Naut suddenly fell down in front of Flain. Cut to Rokit floating down, huffing and puffing from the energy he lost from the fight.
"You.. you can't hurt me no more.. you murp-monkey." Rokit warned Corrupted Nurp-Naut as they glared at each other.
"I know you'll still do it, but it's my first and only warnin' to you."
Corrupted Nurp-Naut hadn't replied to this warning from Rokit, all he did was stare at him in amusement. And then he startled to giggle, and then he glitchily snickered, and then he burst in laughter, glitchily laughing at Rokit's warning.
"Y-ý-y-y-ýøu ķñøw ïț ţ@kə§ mőřę ţhāñ å țø §ťôp ūş." Teased Corrupted Nurp-Naut.
"Ï wîlľ bē şəė!ňğ yøů şőõń."
Corrupted Nurp-Naut then flew into the sky, only to dissapear by teleporting to who-knows-what-show-it-is, so that no one knew where he would strike next. Meanwhile, Booger and the Nindjas were sitting in a Japanese dining room in the Dojo.
"How nice of you to invite me here." Assured Booger.

"Yes, I agree." Said Mysto.
"I really appreciate what you have done with your dining room, it's very magnificent." Complimented Booger.
Cobrax looked at Mysto and then at Booger.
"Where did you learn those words from?" Asked Cobrax.
"From my mom, where did you think I got them?" Lied Booger.
Spinza blinked twice in confusion. Did middle-schoolers really need to learn these big words? It was pretty confusing, but it got more confusing when Booger talked about how his speech was also due to a "miracle-working slime that cures everything". This time, Mysto was sure that the feeling from last chapter must've been true, because there's no way Booger could've known about the slime so fast already.
However, before Mysto could say anything, Spinza interrupted to ask Booger for some proof of the slime. Booger agreed to show him by opening his eye, only to find it was covered in a glitchy, slime-like, substance.
"I really didn't wanna brag about the slime which was why I didn't tell anyone about it, but it really does wonders for your vision." Bragged Booger.
"Why don't you have some, huh?"
Booger scooped part of the glitchy goop that dripped off the goop on his eye, and showed it to the Nindjas.
"Now that is nasty." Said Cobrax.
"Hold on a minute. If you knew the I-Cubit was so evil, then how come you think this suspicious slime is any better?" Questioned Mysto.
Booger paused, and then he snickered which sounded somewhat glitchy. Booger launched a mass of glitchy slime at the doors, covering them both and forcing them shut. This had caused the Nindjas to leap out of their chairs and into their fighting positions.
"So what if it's so dangerous? It's not like you would see anything else in the next minute." Teased Booger.
"Are you predicting the time you attack us? Because that's just a new low." Said Spinza.
The camera cuts to a close-up of Mysto.
"You're not really Booger, are you?" Questioned Mysto.
"You know, I really thought it would've been obvious by now." Said Booger.
"I'm not Booger, I'm not a nixel, I'm not even in my true form. For all you worthless collection of frames could know, I'm all that King Nixel could have been: A truly worthy opponent."
*Commercial Break*
We now see Mordecai and Rigby in their rooms, high-fiving each other.
"Nice work, bro! And the best part is, Wall Buddy spread all my garbage throughout the park, so our room is spotless!" Exclaimed Rigby.
"It also redistributed all our furniture." Noted Mordecai.
"Well, yeah, but-" Interrupting Rigby, Benson comes into the room red, screaming angrily.
"MORDECAI AND RIGBY!!!" Barked Benson.
"Now before you're saying anything, we did do what you said." Rigby told Benson.
"Yeah, we cleaned up Rigby's- uh- I mean... our mess. So you can't fire us." Mordecai told Benson. Rigby smiles in satisfaction.
"Immunity, son!" Exclaimed Rigby.
"So who can I fire for ALL THE DAMAGE YOU TWO DID TO THE PARK?!?!" Barked Benson.
Short pause, then after a few seconds, Mordecai and Rigby point at each other, trying to blame each other for the damage. Meanwhile, a fight was suddenly heard outside, causing Benson to push Mordecai and Rigby out of his way to look out the giant hole in the room, only to find the Nindjas and Corrupted Booger having an all-out battle on the grass, in which Benson growled at in response.
