《Cubits Can't Save You Now (In Progress)》Chapter 21: Mysterious Mixopolis
Advertisement
Cut to Sylvia hastily running around various places in an attempt to search for Wander.
"Wander? Wander? Wander, get back here!" Called Sylvia.
Sylvia looked in the trash bin for Wander, she looked inside a vending machine (which was secretly a hiding place for the Kids Club), and then she looked through the windows of a yellow and orange resturant-like building, but Wander was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, when Sylvia was headed for the next place to look, she bumped into a big, cycloptic, purple and yellow mixel who sported a purple and yellow tie.
"Ugh, where do these weird guys even come from?" Groaned Sylvia.
Sylvia's eyes then turned towards the restaurant door which would be revealed in sight as the camera panned to the left, and then Sylvia immediately zoomed to the door, pulling on the doorknob in an attempt to open the door, but then the door fell down, revealing the restaurant's interior and three more frozen mixels. This time, they were three of the 81 main mixels called "Gox", "Snax", and "Tungster" with Berp hanging out behind Snax in a generic pose. Ignoring this strange anomaly, Sylvia searched all around the room for Wander, leaving no stone nor mixel unturned.
"WANDER, WHERE ARE YOU!?" Shouted Sylvia.
Meanwhile, with Wander, he was currently walking out of a space between the Lava Lounge and the Tuxedo Club where two more mixels were currently frozen in place. One was an Infernite in a pose where he was walking away from the traffic light next to the Lava Lounge with a smug look upon his face, and the other was a Frosticon who was in a pose where he was running away from the Tuxedo Club with fire on his bottom.
"Hiya, you two both have a wonderful city here!" Shouted Wander as he simultaneously looked at the Infernite and the Frosticon while still moving forward.
Wander then started to hum his own theme song as he walked into an alleyway where various frozen nixels were in sight, which had caused Wander to stop his humming and put his walking to a halt. At the mere sight of the nixels, Wander's pupils and smile grew as he squealed in delight.
"YOU GUYS ARE JUST SO CUTE I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH!" Shouted Wander as he hugged the frozen nixels.
This then gave Wander an idea which was to take all of these nixels to the other mixels and Sylvia. Wander then zipped out of said alleyway and ran across the city in a similar fashion to Sylvia.
"GUYS, YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!" Shouted Wander.
Sylvia then moves her head up to be visible in the scene after Wander leaves.

"Wander, don't leave me here!" Called Sylvia as she turned towards the direction Wander went.
*Commercial Break*
Cut to a shot of the midnight sky with the moon going at a crescent phase, and then the scene pans down to what seems to be some sort of stage for a contest near a school that is partially made of bones. Cut to a girl with a microphone for a head named "Noisy" up on a podium.
"みなさん、この學年の不思議なクイズの時が來ました! どのクラスが全體的な勝利を収めますか?(Alright everyone, it's time for this school year's Wonder Quiz! Which class will have the overall victory?)" Announced Noisy.
"代表者を発表する時が來ました!黃色のトカゲのクラスの場合、Hikky! (It's time to announce the representatives! For Yellow Lizard Class, Hikky!)"
Cut to a set of pink doors framed with bones on the contest stage as Noisy mentions Hikky. He walks through said pink doors with a red and blue pencil for a head, a black top hat with a pink ribbon, and two yellow eyes.
"こんにちは、みなさん! (Hey, everyone!)" Waved Hikky.
"行くHikky! (Go Hikky!)" Cheered the group of students from the Yellow Lizard Class.
Hikky then walked towards his yellow podium and sat on the stool behind the podium.
"皆さんに任せてください! (Leave it to me, you guys!)" Said Hikky.
Cut to one of the teachers who was a crocodile-like skeleton head on a television made of bones which had skeleton arms on each side of said television. This teacher's name is Mr. Salaman.
"Hikky! 絶対に勝つことを確実にしてください!(Hikky! Make absolute sure to win!)" Reminded Mr. Salaman.
Cut to another set of doors, which were also pink and framed with bones.
"ブルースパイダークラス用, Usop! (For Blue Spider Class, Usop!)" Noisy announced off-screen as a boy in a red shirt with a paint spray can for a head came out of the door.
This boy was named Usop and he was sporting a black top hat with a blue ribbon and a proud look as he looked at the crowd. Speaking of which, cut to the crowd of Blue Spider class students who are all cheering on Usop.
"がんばってね Usop! (Do your best Usop!)" Cheered the crowd.
Cut to another teacher who was also a skeleton head in a television set made of bones, but her head looked more like a bird's skeletal head this time. Her name is Ms. Peginand.
"それだけ Hikky とUsop? これら2つは私には匹敵しません Genie! (Only Hikky and Usop? These two are no match for my Genie!)" Scoffed Ms. Peginand
The camera pans to Mr. Salaman who is crossing his arms.
"うーん、あなたは私をそこに持っています。Genie 結局のところ、學校の天才です. (Mm, you've got me there. Genie is the school's prodigy after all.)" Muttered Mr. Salaman
Cut to a wide shot of the three teachers whose television sets are all hanging on a set of monkey bars made of bones from skeleton hands.

"たとえそうであっても。 それはまた、私が學校で最高で最も教師だからです!(Even so. It's also because I am the best and most excellent teacher in this school!)" Bragged Ms. Peginand as she accidentally hit the two other teacher's screens with her arms.
Cut to a wide-shot stage where we see Hikky and Usop at their podiums that were color-coded to the classes that they represented. We can also see a pink podium right next to Usop's blue podium on the stage.
"ピンクのヒキガエルクラスの次は次のとおりです... Yumyum! (Up next, for Pink Toad Class is... Yumyum!)" Noisy announced off-screen.
Yumyum, a boy in a red and black striped shirt with a black top hat with a pink ribbon and a rotting banana for a head, then kicked open the door while waving to the crowd, but the crowd of Pink Toad Students seems shocked and confused that Genie is, for some reason, replaced by a bully like Yumyum.
"何? そうではありません Genie 私たちの代表?(What? Isn't Genie our representative?)" Questioned Onpoo, a girl with a music note for a head.
Cut to a wide-shot of the three teachers.
"Yumyum、これの意味は何ですか?(Yumyum, what is the meaning of this?)" Worried Ms. Peginand
Cut back to Yumyum who is currently and calmly walking towards his pink podium while the two door he went through earlier in the background started to glitch.
"良い, Genie 周りにいないので、私は彼の代わりになっています. (Well, Genie isn't around, so I'm taking his place.)" Said Yumyum.
Yumyum then snickered as he turned towards Usop while the doors glitched slightly harder than earlier in the background.
"覚えておいてください、あなたは答えていません. (Remember, you're not answering.)" Yumyum told Usop.
Cut to Usop as he looks at Yumyum.
"私は知っています、ボスですが、それらのドアで何が起こっているのですか?(I know, boss, but what's going on with those doors?)" Questioned Usop.
Cut back to Yumyum as he now sports a confused look.
"どのドア?(What doors?)" Asked Yumyum.
Usop pointed towards the set of glitchy doors to the right and Yumyum looked at them, only to now have his expression changed into that of shock as it was only now he noticed that the doors had been acting strange. The bird-like teacher in the background moves to the left, making her visible instead of behind Yumyum.
"Yumyum, ドアはどうなりましたか!?(Yumyum, what happened to the doors!?)" Panicked the Ms. Peginand
"わからない、ここに著いた!(I don't know, I just got here!)" Said Yumyum.
Cut back to the doors as they glitch harder with the doors being in different positions once a frame, and then... it stopped glitching and it showed Mixopolis as the doors laid open. Cut to the group of Pink Frog students who are shielding their eyes and the sides of their head, and then they take their hands off of their head and their eyes when they see that the doors have returned somewhat to normal.
"は?(Huh?)" Said some of the students.
Cut to the Blue Spider class and the Yellow Lizard class, who are all looking shocked that the door at first seemed like it was going to explode or something, but then it turned into a portal to who-knows-where. Cut back to the doors with Yumyum, Hikky, and Usop walking towards them in curiosity and stopping once they got five inches close to it.
"それは太陽ですか?(Is that the sun?)" Asked Hikky.
Cut to in front of the three as they look at the doors while it looks like they're looking at the camera.
"うん! しかし、なぜここに真夜中になっているのに、なぜそこにいるのですか?(Yeah, but why is it there when it's midnight out here?)" Questioned Yumyum.
"あなたの推測は私のものと同じくらい良いです、ボス。(Your guess is as good as mine, boss.)" Shrugged Usop.
In surprise and excitement, Ampoo and Quicky jumped out and into view behind the three representatives.
"太陽はここにあります!(THE SUN IS HERE!)" Shouted Quicky and Ampoo.
Cut to the right side of the stage where Quicky and Ampoo run up to the stage, push Hikky, Usop, and Yumyum out of the way, and run into the portal to Mixopolis.
"は?(Huh?)" Said Yumyum.
Suddenly, more students came rushing into the door, causing Hikky, Usop, and Yumyum to get swept up in the crowd while the teachers internally panicked about how the less students there are, the less likely they'll be able to do the Wonder Quiz for this school year.
"待って、ここに戻ってください! まだ出席する不思議なクイズがあります!(Wait, get back out here! We still have a Wonder Quiz to attend to!)" Exclaimed Ms. Peginand with a shocked face.
But the students hadn't listened, they just kept pouring into the portal until only half of the students were left, and a girl with a piece of green candy with yellow spots on it for a head who was running late. This girl was named "Chaps".
"やあみんな、私を待ってください!(Hey guys, wait for me!)" Called Chaps as she ran towards the portal in an attempt to catch up with the rest of the group.
And as Chaps left for Mixopolis, the teachers and the students were very much shocked, confused, and worried about what just happened right in front of them. It started as just a normal Wonder Quiz, and then it all went to chaos when a strange portal opened to another world that had been left unseen. Well, they can't just start out with everyone so confused when they could just casually walk into the portal without no one looking, they still had to bring back the rest of the students, including Genie.
"みんな、私たちはまだ取得する必要があります Genie. したがって、ポータルに行くことはできません 私たちはまだ不思議なクイズをしなければならないからです。(Everyone, we still have to retrieve Genie. Therefore, you cannot go to the portal because we still have to do the Wonder Quiz.)" Announced Mr. Salaman.
(A/N: This chapter ain't done yet so just wait.)

It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.
