This is a tale about a corruption, a corruption that crossed universes... but how? No one knew how, but it was about to do horrible things. It could slowlycorrupt anyone it touches, and it may get to Nurp-Naut. Note: I don't own Mixels, nor do I own...
Continuing where we left off, Naut thought about the new monster behind his head and decided that he should run from his friends before the monster possibly kills them, and fully takes over Nurp-Naut.
"I think I should go, now that I think about it." Said Naut.
"Wait, but we don't know the cure yet." Replied Niksput.
"Yeah, there HAS to be a cure for this, right?" Added Rokit.
"Yeah." Agreed Niksput.
Nurp-Naut then left his room, 'ran out of his room' at this point.
"Naut? NAUT! WAIT!" Shouted Rokit.
Naut felt scared, scared of what the monster behind his head could do to his friends if he didn't try to convince the monster himself, but he thought there might be no known cure. Naut kept running and running, with the rest of the Orbitrons chasing him because they just wanted to protect Naut with all their heart. The corruption marks all over Nurp's face were slowly growing, reaching Naut's nonexistent cheeks as Naut got more and more scared of himself.
"NAUT! COME BACK, BRO!" Yelled Niksput.
"I can't!" Naut shouted back.
"Why not!? We're just trying to protect you is all, so just listen to us!" Asked Niksput.
"We're in this tribe for a reason, to protect the world against the Nixels, to stick together, to protect one another... So please tell us, why the heck are you runnin' from us?" Said Rokit.
Naut suddenly flashbacked to all the memories he had with his tribe, to all the memories he had defeating the nixels, all the memories he had with his friends, all the memories he had with the Glowkies and the Infernite Cousins, all the memories he had... together.
"Because the monster... It might... It might suck your souls, and then who knows what he might do next.." Worried Naut.
Nurp-Naut then stopped in his tracks, feeling both regret and sadness, knowing that Nurp could've avoided the mysterious speck that corrupted him in the first place if he stopped filling the cups with Oxy-Juice earlier.
"You just don't understand, you've never seen anything like this compared to what King Nixel tried to do with Mixopolis once. But then again, neither did I." Said Naut.
"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry, I know we'll find a cure for this soon..." Replied Rokit.
Rokit walked next to Nurp-Naut and patted his back.
"Look, we're in this tribe which means we have to protect whoever is in it, including you. So let us care for you, please?" Said Rokit.
"...Alright, I guess so." Naut said with a sigh.
And so, the Orbitrons went back to their abode to relax for a while after the chaos that had happened. Suddenly, Naut stopped, his head did a slight tilt, then another, and then his head started spinning for a while, while he was running in circles!
"Naut? You okay, bud?" Questioned Niksput.
But Naut did not answer, for the corruption has attempted to take control once again. Then, he stopped running and tripped on the ground which made Niksput and Rokit slowly walk towards him.
"S-space cadet?" Asked Rokit.
"You okay, soldier?"
Meanwhile, in Nurp-Naut's mindscape, Naut was tired and on the floor in front of a black man with a lemon-shaped head and a grinning, pink face.
"Hello, Naut..." Greeted the man.
"W-what? Who are you, and where am I?" Questioned Naut.
"Call me Corruption. This pink room covered in darkness is your mindscape, for it used to be bright with light and also lime green." Introduced the man.
Suddenly, a white star on the ceiling lit up the room, revealing a sleeping Nurp in a floating, pink, transparent sphere. The mere sight of Nurp in this state was so shocking to Naut that he gasped and ran towards the sphere.
"NO NO NO NO NO!" Shouted Naut.
"CORRUPTION, WHAT DID YOU DO TO NURP!?" Demanded Naut.
"Don't worry about it, I simply 'fixed' him." Lied Corruption.
Corruption shape-shifted into Nurp, but with its color scheme.

(A/N: Ignore the fact that I accidentally drew Corrupted Nurp to be taller than Nurp-Naut actually is.)
"Don't you want to be 'fixed' too?" Asked Corruption.
"...NO! I... This doesn't feel right." Shouted Naut.
"...Of course you would think that, because you're just an old man who's not as wise as he seems." Teased Corruption.
"However, your younger counterpart, Nurp, thought otherwise."
"Wait, that's not true, we... didn't know what the dot was." Protested Naut.
Corruption walked towards Naut, confronting him. Naut tried to walk to the side, away from the conversation, but Corruption stretched its arms, making walls and preventing Naut from walking to the side.
"You're exactly what I thought you were, an idiot. Not even trying to set things right." Said Corruption.
"Stop telling me this." Warned Naut.
"I'm trying to get you to realize your sins, because with Nurp out of the picture, there will be no more tantrums." Said Corruption.
"No more crater-tots, no more cribs, no more unnecessary bedtime stories, the works!"
Naut looked at the floor, and back at Corruption. Meanwhile, outside of the mindscape, Corrupted Nurp slowly turned to Rokit and Niksput and stared at them, but then he leapt at Niksput's face! Niksput and Rokit were trying to get him off, but he wouldn't budge.
"AUGH, GETTHELITTLEBROOFF OF ME, GET IT OFF!" Yelled Niksput, muffled by Nurp-Naut.
"DON'T WORRY NIKSPUT, I'LL GET IT- HIM OFF!" Shouted Rokit.
Rokit tried with all his might to pull Corrupted Nurp off of Niksput, and it did work, but now Corrupted Nurp was heading toward the almost finished festival preparation, and two of the Orbitons instantly knew what he was gonna do next...
