They didn't put me in jail because it seemed less impactful than a boot camp.
Instead, they left me and the others in a warehouse until the buses arrived. The warehouse was so dusty that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. They didn't bother to make it clean for us while we waited, and neither did they care about how pale we were from starving.
Once the morning came, we took the bus and rode for five hours. It didn't feel normal in this school bus at all. There were men with guns, keeping us in watch. But it kind of helped that there were kids like me who had strange abilities too.Gumball: *looks outside the window and sighs sadly*
Hot Dog Cop: Don't make a sound!!
Gumball: Nnh- *growls in anger* Mmmnnhhhh!!
Hot Dog Cop: I said, do NOT make a sound!!
Gumball: *growls silently while balling up his fists*
Salami Boy: *looks through the window seeing the outside and gives an expression of sadness*
Gumball: *looks at him for a second and then looks down again*
Salami Boy: Mmm... *looks behind him seeing that his hands are tied and frowns looking down*All of our hands were tied up behind our backs. Apparently I was insulted for having such a big head because they would pack about three or four kids to one seat, but I reduced it to only two. What a great way to downgrade my purpose of existing right now. Thanks a lot, red-haired freak.
Scary Soldier: *walks up the stairs and looks directly at the kids with a stern look*
Driver: *tries to hand him the microphone*
Scary Soldier: *steps in a little knocking the microphone off their hand and starts speaking loudly* You will stand and exit the bus with integrity and no delinquency! All of you will be divided into groups of ten and you will be taken in for testing! Do not try to horse around, do not speak, do not try to run, do not do anything other than what is asked of you to do! Failure to comply with these instructions will be met with punishment!!
Teenage Girl: *yells at the back of the bus* KILL YOURSELF, YOU FUCKING BITCH!!! NOBODY CARES!!
*everyone turns around from the yelling looking to the back of the bus*
Red-Haired Freak: *targets their rifle onto the guy's mouth and keeps it stuck inside there*
Teenage Girl: Auhgh- *doesn't respond and stays silent due to his hands being tied up*
Gumball: *blinks in shock of what he just heard*I always had that funny question on what those new words were. But I came to learn through my camp stay that those were curse words said out of anger or for being cool. For some reason, my town had it safer or it just had a universal age rating for everyone and not for the adult complexity.
Gumball: *runs down the stairs into the muddy grass and slips* AAHH! *thuds onto the floor getting his whole body wet* Auuugh...
Soldier: *yanks him up by the shirt and points to the group of kids lined up in front of him*
Gumball: Nnh- *shakes his head from the rain and runs to the group standing beside one side of the line*
Teenage Girl: *walks down the stairs and whispers to the guy in front of her*
Young Guy: *nods in agreement to what he said*
Gumball: *looks at them for a second* Hm...?
Young Guy: *steps into the muddy grass and begins running to the fence dodging the two officers*
Teenage Girl: RUN, GUYS!! RUU- *gets tackled by a solder*
Red-Haired Freak: STAY ON THE GROUND AND DON'T MOVE!! *aims her gun at the teenage girl*
Jamie: *wipes the blood away from her mouth and stares at her with glowing orange eyes* You just can't wait for us to die, can you? *whispers quietly* You heard what I said on the bus. Kill yourself with that rifle. On the mouth. And make it a good shot.
Red-Haired Freak: *stares at her for a moment and slowly aims the gun at her mouth*
Scary Officer: Marina!! Marinaa!! What are you doing?!
Gumball: Wh-Wha- *gets his eyes covered by the bear girl beside him* Hey!! What are you-
Soldier: *shoots herself on the mouth splattering face parts all around the area and collapses onto the floor with blood splattering everywhere*
Gumball: *jolts from the gun shot*
Pink Cat Girl: *faints beside him onto the floor from the sight she saw*
Another Soldier: ORANGE!! *grabs their transceiver and turns on the speaker yelling* WE HAVE AN ORANGE THAT NEEDS TO BE DETAINED!!
Scary Soldier: GET HER DOWN NOW!! *rushes towards the teenage girl*
Teenage Girl: *stands up immediately and yells at the kids* WHAT ARE YOU STANDING AROUND FOR?! RUUUUUUNN!! *gets tackled hard by the other soldier* AAHHGH!
Another Soldier: *kicks her down on the stomach and slams her onto the bus walls*
Teenage Girl: AHHHHGH!! *struggles to break free from their grip* GET OOOFFF! GET OFFF!!!
Gumball: *slowly looks at the body and stares in shock of the gore*
Bear Girl: *pushes him down by the shoulder trying to make a run with the other kids* Nngh- N-No... *stops at her steps and watches everyone try to escape*
Scary Soldier: SIT DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW!! EVERYONE, SIT DOWN AND DO NOT MOVE!!
Gumball: Ah!! *pulls himself up immediately from the muddy grass and sits down not moving at all*
Bear Girl: *sits down as well and sighs in defeat*
