《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 15: Escape to Springfield
Advertisement
Meanwhile, in the I-Cubit building, the mixels and the Mixelized nixels were dancing in celebration of Mixopolis becoming colorful once again.
"Oh, how wonderful it is to be back to color once again!" Exclaimed Globert.
"Yeah, now we can finally throw those stupid I-Cubits away!" Agreed Combustor.
Globert and Vampos continued to dance away, but they then realize they hadn't really heard from Boogly. In fact, they didn't see him in the crowd at all. They thought Boogly would be dancing with them, but no. Boogly seemed to just be gone.
"Wait a moment, where is Boogly?" Questioned Globert.
"Wait, Boogly? I don't know, he's probably somewhere in this crowd." Assumed Vampos.
Despite what Vampos had said, Globert couldn't see Boogly anywhere. Suddenly, what seemed to be Boogly's appendages appeared in the crowd, and they seemed to be swimming towards Globert and Vampos. When the appendages exited the crowd, it revealed to be Boogly himselfm which his eyes closed for some reason.
"Hello guys." Greeted Boogly.
"Ah, there you are! For a second, I got worried about your dissapearance." Said Globert.
"Eh, don't worry, I'm alright." Assured Boogly.
Boogly then leaned on an empty elevator, his eye still being closed.
"What are you doing?" Asked Vampos.
"Just relaxing. After all, I got other plans than dancing, but I can't tell them to you because they're secret." Said Boogly.
"Don't worry, I'll tell no one of your secret plans!" Assured Globert.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to Niksput and the Glowkie bat flying away from Corrupted Rambamboo with Peg and Cat on top of Niksput.
"Come on, she's gaining on us!" Worried Peg.
"Look, we'll get somewhere safe, I promise you." Assured Niksput.
And then Niksput and the Glowkie kept flying and flying away from Rambamboo until they went for two houses that were next to each other. Those houses were Flanders' and Homer's. The Glowkie hid behind Flanders' house while Niksput opened the door (which was unlocked since Marge forgot to close the door when she and the other Simpsons got out) and flew inside. Inside the Simpsons house, he saw Kraw watching the news.
However, Niksput didn't want to get too distracted so he closed the door and locked it tight. Afterwards, he pushed on it to keep it closed. Peg and Cat then climbed off of Niksput, only to find the same thing Niksput had found.
"Hiya, Kraw!" Cat waved at Kraw.
"Huh? Is that you, Cat?" Asked Kraw as he turned towards Cat.
Kraw got off the couch and crawled towards the people who came into his house.
"Huh, do you know this guy?" Niksput asked Cat.
"Yeah, he and Gobba also saved us from The Darkness!" Exclaimed Cat.
"His name's Kraw, and he's from a world of mixels." Explained Peg.
Niksput looked at Kraw in confusion. How did this guy already save Peg and Cat before Niksput could?
"I'm just here protecting the Si-i-impsons house, but it's a pleasure to meet you nonetheless." Said Kraw.
"..Nice to meet you too, bro." Said Niksput.
Suddenly, the door started banging, a sure sign Corrupted Rambamboo was there. The hiding cartoons looked out the living room window, only to find that the person banging on the door was not Corrupted Rambamboo, but a pile of The Darkness.
"Wait a minute, if that pile's there, then that means.." Said Niksput.
The hiding cartoons turned towards the Flanders' house, only to find Corrupted Rambamboo attempting to break in said house. Peg fainted onto the rug, but Cat (who was next to Peg) could not see because he could not reach the window because he was so small.

"Uh, what's going on out there?" Asked Cat.
"That Glowkie's in trouble!" Worried Niksput.
"Wait, you know him?" Questioned Kraw.
"Of course I do, bro!" Shouted Niksput.
"Since when?" Asked Kraw.
"Since I.. uh.. I think it'll be hard to explain with all these alternate universes we keep getting into." Replied Niksput.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to Jason, Jackson, and M on a road in Springfield, running away from a giant mass of The Darkness. Jason and Jackson are doing fin
e, but M is going just slightly slower.
"Wait, mates! Wait for me!" M told Jason and Jackson.
Jason grabbed M's arm so that he wouldn't be left behind in the chase. However, when the three cartoons passed the Simpsons' house, they saw Corrupted Rambamboo chasing the Glowkie in the sky above them.
"Wait, maybe we can get help from those guys!" Realized Jackson.
"Come on, we've gotta go faster!"
"We're marching very fast already!" M told Jackson.
Cut to the Glowkie flying away from Corrupted Rambamboo. The Glowkie zigzagged all around the sky in an attempt to avoid Corrupted Rambamboo, but due to her jetpack, she was much too fast to dodge. The Glowkie told her to leave him alone, but she never responded. Instead, she tackled the Glowkie and pinned him down in the middle of the road, in front of Jason, Jackson, and M.
The three cartoons yelped and split up, with Jason and M going into the Simpsons' house and Jackson going into the house in front of the Simpsons' house, which was because Jackson thought that The Darkness couldn't take on him, M, and Jason all at once. Oh, how wrong he was. The giant mass of The Darkness split into two, making it easy to target both houses and all who were inside. Cut to the inside of the Simpsons' house, where we see Kraw making four cheese-and-bolonga sandwiches in the kitchen with Peg, Cat, and Niksput sitting on the couch in the background.
Once Kraw was done putting the top bread slice on every sandwich, he left the kitchen and scuttled into the living room.
"Alright everyone, we got food in the fridge if you want some." Reminded Kraw.
"However, we'll have some sa-a-andwiches for now."
"I could go for a sandwich." Said Niksput.
"Yeah, I'm starving!" Exclaimed Cat.
Suddenly, the front door bolted open, and then Jason and M came out of it and then they immediately close it behind themselves, locking it afterwards. After they locked it, they pushed on the door to assure that it would stay closed.
"...Excuse me, who are you guys?" Peg asked Jason and M.
"...Uh.. I-i'm.. Jason." Stuttered Jason.
"And my name is M, very merry to meet you as well." Introduced M.
"..Greetings M, my name is Kraw, and this i-i-is Peg, Cat, and.. actually, I don't know the other gu-u-uy's name, he never told me." Introduced Kraw.
"It's Niksput." Reminded Niksput.
"And this is Niksput." Continued Kraw.
Suddenly, someone or something was heard banging was heard at the door, but no one knew who or what it was, which concerned the hiding cartoons. Niksput cautiously floated towards the door and peeked through the door hole. What he saw in the hole was The Darkness. It may have been predictable for the viewers, but Niksput did not see this coming.
"Guys, we gotta hide, right now." Niksput warned the other hiding cartoons.
"Wait, it's The Darkness, right?" Assumed Cat.
"Of course it is, it's been chasing us for this entire season." Said Kraw.

Cut to the Ed Boys as they watch Major Nixel and Boxman argue about blimps and airships. Eddy watched them in annoyance while Edd and Ed watched them in confusion and interest.
"Are they even done yet?" Questioned Eddy.
"Patience Eddy, I'm sure they'll settle their argument sooner or later." Edd told Eddy.
"Pssh, in a million years they will." Muttered Eddy.
Eddy then looked at the cracks in the wall and since the argument between Major Nixel and Boxman are really getting on Eddy's nerves, he decided that whatever happening inside of the building that Major Nixel's airship crashed into would be more interesting than the argument altogether. Eddy got up from his seat and walked towards the cracks on the side of the building. He peeked through the cracks, which gave him a wide view of all of the robots and the machinery going on inside of Boxmore, which hadn't really satisfied Eddy's need for excitement, but it was at least more interesting than the argument. However, Corrupted Krader, and a big pile of The Darkness suddenly glitched in the middle of Boxmore, their glitching noises echoing throughout the building.
Eddy blinked twice, and then he looked back at Major Nixel, who was still arguing with Boxman.
"OKAY, FINE! I'LL GET YOU A LADDER SO WE CAN FIGHT, BUT I'LL HOLD IT SO THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE IT FROM ME!" Major Nixel shouted at Boxman.
"SO WHAT IF I STEAL YOUR STUPID LADDER!? YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ROBOTS TO FIGHT ME AND STEAL THE STUPID LADDER BACK!" Boxman shouted back.
Suddenly, crashing noises were heard from inside of Boxmore, which caused Eddy to immediately look back at the inside of the building. Inside Boxmore, the corrupted cartoons were destroying quite literally everything from inside, including the robots who tried to attack them. Not only that, but The Darkness was growing quite quickly, and it filled up Boxmore as it grew. Eddy walked towards Major Nixel as he continued to argue with Boxman about whether his airship was a blimp or not.
"HEY, MAJOR LUMPY! THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON!" Eddy yelled at Major Nixel.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!?" Barked Major Nixel.
Eddy pointed at the cracks in the wall, which are currently leaking The Darkness.
"...What about those cracks in the wall?" Questioned Major Nixel.
"It's filling up with glitchy slime, what do I do with it?" Eddy told Major Nixel.
"Well, I don't know what to do with them, you try to do something about it." Said Major Nixel.
Cut to a close-up the cracks, where we see The Darkness leaking out of them. However, The Darkness is seen slithering towards Eddy and Major Nixel from under their feet, and only then did Eddy see The Darkness.
"Hey, Major Nixel?" Asked Eddy.
"I told you, I don't know what to do with the slime." Major Nixel told Eddy.
"No, it's just that the slime's under us right now." Corrected Eddy.
"What are you talking about?" Questioned Major Nixel.
Eddy pointed down at his feet in which The Darkness was under, but before Major Nixel could look at Eddy's feet, the two suddenly glitched into the inside of Boxmore. However, they were on the floor, but under a dome under all of the mass of The Darkness.
"..Okay, is this what you meant?" Asked Major Nixel.
"Uh.. I guess, I don't know." Assumed Eddy.
The screeching noise of static surrounded the two, as they were trapped inside of The Darkness, with seemingly no way put without getting themselves corrupted.
"Ø-hö-hõh, whå-äț īđîőţ§.." Said a deep, glitchy voice.
"Ýøu bõţh måđə @ hüģė m!śţåķë mî§śīńğ ťhė öppőřţųñìţý øf ã łīfėțíme.."
Eddy blinked twice and asked the voice what the heck he meant by "opportunity of a lifetime". The voice said that it only wanted to visit everyone's universe and grant them happiness by making them see what they want to see using its "wonder slime", which hadn't really made sense to Major Nixel and Eddy. The voice explained that the reason it didn't use its "wonder slime" on Eddy and Major Nixel was because the two were already special with Major Nixel already having a massive army and Eddy with his high self-esteem and scamming skills.
"Oh yeah? Then why's everyone afraid of this 'wonder slime'?" Questioned Eddy.
"Įť'§ țhė śm!łėş øf ěvėřýøņė whø wıľłïņğłý ćhėŕįşhəđ mý wöńđęř §ļìmê." Said the voice.
"Ťhëý šćąřę øff šö mãņý pę-ə-ê-ėöpľė wįţhøúţ ķñøwïņğ."
"Let me guess, you need our help to spread your 'wonder slime' since you and your 'customers' are to scary to do so?" Assumed Major Nixel.
"Ī-... ýêś, ëxäçťłý. Ňőw ğô ãņđ §přêäđ mý ģįfť țø ţhę můłť!vêŕşě." Said the voice.
Cut to Edd and Ed, who are currently looking for Eddy and Major Nixel.
"Eddy? Eddy, where are you and Major Nixel?" Shouted Edd.
"EDDY WHERE ARE YOU!?" Yelled Ed as he unknowingly walked towards a hatch which led to the inside of the airship.
Ed then fell into the hatch, slamming face-first onto the floor, which caused a nixel (which was in a drawer under the broken control panel) to yelp and close the drawer he was in. Ed got up and walked towards the drawer to open it, only he accidentally pulled the drawer out. The nixel inside yelped again at the sight of Ed. Ed walked towards the hatch and climbed up the ladder, still holding the drawer that had a nixel in it.
"DOUBLE D! I FOUND A KITTY CAT!" Shouted Ed.
Edd turned his head towards Ed and then walked towards him, but then his eyes laid on the drawer with a scared, shaking nixel in it.
"Ed, that is not a cat, that must be one of Major Nixel's assistants." Said Edd.
Ed looked at the scared nixel, and then back at Edd, and then back at the nixel.
"...Looks like a kitty cat to me!" Exclaimed Ed.
Major Nixel and Eddy then glitched back onto the airship.
"..I can tell I'm probably gonna be out-scammed and then I'll be the suck for embarrassment." Said Eddy.
"Agreed." Replied Major Nixel.
(Fun Fact: When Eddy said "the suck for embarrassment", it was a reference to an episode of Suction Cup Man called "The Suck For America".)
Ed saw Major Nixel and Eddy and then he ran towards Edd to remind him of them, and then he and Edd ran towards Eddy to give them a hug before being pushed away by Eddy since he doesn't want to be embarrassed by being hugged in public.
"Guys, calm down. I know I'm the best, but you don't have to hug me." Complained Eddy.
Suddenly, some whirring was heard in the distance. The cartoons on the airship looked under the airship, only to find a giant Jethro bot rolling towards the airship. When it was done rolling, a ladder with a stern-looking Boxman rolled up from a tube on top on the giant Jethro. The ladder kept rolling up to the airship, Boxman and Major Nixel were now at eye level.
"Since you took so long to get the ladder, I gave up and built this giant Jethro just so we can finally get this argument settled." Explained Boxman.
"Why can't you just agree that my AIRSHIP is what it is and LEAVE ME ALONE." Major Nixel told Boxman.
"BECAUSE NO AIRSHIP I'VE SEEN IS THAT ROUND!" Protested Boxman.
"TOO BAD, IT'S A ROUND AIRSHIP! GET USED TO IT!" Shouted Major Nixel.
"I HAVE A BETTER IDEA, AGREE THAT IT'S A BLIMP!"
"NEVER!"
"DO IT AND WE CAN FORGET ABOUT THIS WHOLE ARGUMENT!
"SHUT UP, AND ALSO NO TO THAT! IT'S AN AIRSHIP AND YOU KNOW IT!"

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****
