The Quest

Chapter 12: It's All Coming Together

"Why were you guys at the warehouse?" Squirrel asked.

Ronald whispered to Honyakusha. After what felt like forever, he was done. Honyakusha sat there and thought for a second, and began speaking.

"The Valve warehouse that runs out of the Shadow Circus? We received high Mountain Dew signals on our charts, leading us to know the whereabouts of Shadow Boogie. Shadow Boogie sure did love his Dew."

"Would Shadow Boogie happen to be the weird clown Boogie that I saw on TV?"

"Yeah, that would be the one. He's going on a destructive rampage."

"What happened to Shadow Boogie?".

"An interdimensional TV sold to Boogie by the store set up by GabeN sent him to the Shadow Circus. Boogie and GabeN had a little conflict, let's say. This resulted in Boogie being captured and then, Shadow Boogie was created. He sent Shadow Boogie out to destroy cities like yours and trap people inside of TVs."

"Interdimensional TV sold to him by a store?" wondered Gumball Challenge Kid. He thought back to when the three were sucked into a TV and ended up in the Shadow Circus.

"The fight between GabeN and Boogie went smoothly for GabeN, until another one of Boogie's forms, Francis, came out. Francis shot out red lasers. He seriously injured GabeN to the point where he had to upload his brain to the Valve Skynet. But Shadow Boogie came out and captured Francis, and Boogie reverted back. He controls the Shadow Circus using Boogie as a host for his body."

"I didn't know that President Boogie was capable of all of this weird stuff," Squirrel said. "This world is much weirder than I first thought it to be."

"This is your group, by the way," Honyakusha said, pointing towards the unfamiliar faces and Gumball Challenge Kid. "It's full of other Gamerville residents."

They all made introductions. In Squirrel's group were Macmillan, Finding Cameron, Peter, Gumball Challenge Kid, and Angry German Kid. They had all lived in Gamerville similar to the group of three, and were chained up to the Mountain Dew Tower. Now that he met them, Squirrel DID remember seeing them in the cave.

"Anyways, Mr. Ronald has orders for you all," said Honyakusha. Ronald began to whisper in Honyakusha's ear once again. This whole shtick was getting annoying.

"We've caught wind of Valve's next plans from the rescue mission at the warehouse. They're planning to invade a water planet next, called Bikini Bottom, similar to what happened at Gamerville. They're planning to capture the Bikini Bottomites and send them off on ships to work for Valve. We're sending you new recruits out to investigate this, and the rest of the footsoliders, we're sending you out to investigate the Shadow Circus."

"Yes sir!" replied the group with a salute.

"No, no, we do salutes like this," said Honyakusha.

He did a weird salute where he crossed his hands over each other on his chest, then moved his hands in the air. He shouted "RAN RAN RUU!" while he did it.

The group then proceeded to do the Ran Ran Ruu. They did poorly, but it was their first attempt.

Everyone headed to the ship bay and each got in an advanced McDonald's Recon Pod, capable of hyperspace jumping and fast dodging, but couldn't fight back. They changed into their McDonalds outfits, and turned on the ship engine. The hangar door then opened.

"Mr. Ronald says good luck," Honyakusha said on the monitor.

The group all zoomed out the bay, and the door closed behind them.
