Wubbox had finally decided to take a break from the monsters he created, and visit a bit of family for once.
He walked out of his building, and into the slightly cold air of the island. He heard their conversations either quiet down, or stop completely.

"Im leaving the island for a moment. If any of you follow me, you will not be happy." Wubbox threatened.
"Why?" Whajje asked.

"It's..important. Nothing to worry about. Just stay put and rehearse while I'm gone." Wubbox told him.
As Wubbox turned back around, spoke quietly to the portal, and went through eventually as the portal lit up with a cyan light, enveloping him completely.
"I'm gonna thowoll him." Thwok said with a mischievous smile.

"Thwok, no! We're gonna get in trouble!" Whajje yelped.

"Oh, thank a thill pill. We just thind out how to make the portal work, and we go! He won't notice ith we're quick enouth.

"It might sound cool to you, but it will really hurt all of us. Dad is very irritable." Poewk informed him.

"But this a once in a lifetime chanth! No other thime will we be able to see the outside world. Aren't you just curith?"

"Yes, i am, but if we stay good, he'll let us go out soon enough."

"Suth a downer. Leth go!"

"As your older brother, one i do no approve of this, but two, i'm coming to keep you out of trouble, and three, your gonna have to guide me."

"Worths thor me!"
The group all stood up, and grouped up. They walked to Wubbox's building and into his office. After not a moment of searching, they found a book about the portal, and it's list of codes for islands.

The only thing that could go wrong is if they went to the wrong island, and Wubbox wasn't on that island, and they couldn't go home.
They decided to go to the first island they found, Plant island. It was filled with lush plants, bright monsters, and lovely views.

They quickly got back out, and to the portal.
"Hath fun being thored!" Thwok shouted at the few who stayed behind.
"I will." Poewk retorted.

Thwok turned back to the portal. "Ok, sthonone who theaks normally, thay the thing." He handed the code paper to the group.
Whajje took the paper, and stepped forward. "P-P-Plant island..T-The first element island.." He said in a shaky, timid voice.

Just as they started to tell Whajje to speak up, the portal opened, showing the same green light that Wubbox entered through. Thwok quickly took Whajje by the hand, and the group quickly entered the portal

"Woah..!" Thwok spoke out in shock.
The group all looked around the green island as they walked through the forest. They expected to have came out the end of another portal near a place of monsters, but they had instead landed in a forest.

Despite that, they began walking through it, finding a trail and walking down it, where ahead, voices and strange sounds could be heard.
"Wait, we're juth going in there ith no plan?" Thwok said with a bit of nervousness in his voice.

"Yeah, no one is going to care, right? Theres probably new monsters every day on the islands!" Brump replyed.

"Do you need me to hold your hand?" Whajje moved over to him, and held out his hand.

"No!" Thwok yelled, taking a step away. Whajje then moved away from him, stepping near Zynth instead.
As the group moved forward, Thwok trailed lightly behind. He wrapped his long, striped tongue around his neck, as he would do when he was anxious.
They rounded the corner of the building nearby, then walked along the sidewalk of the small town. They looked in awe at the life around them. Different types of buildings were around the town and the large road near the middle. Any every few times, a dark machine would roll by. They would instantly keep away from it.

Many trees towered over buildings, and small, empty planes of grass were all around them. The place was unlike anything they'd seen before, and it was mesmerizing. Sometimes they would pass a few monsters, and had one of three reactions : Smile and wave, weird look, or move away. They knew they weren't usual, but they didn't mind the looks.

Wubbox opened his notebook to the next page.
"The only most recent one i've really came up with is Blipsqueak. I musical robot that sings! Sounds cool, right?"

"Mhm! What kinda of voice will it have?"

"Im not sure yet. Maybe somewhat of a feminine voice? I even have a rare version from the prototype i've drawn before."

"Thats really cool!!"
Plant looked over the drawing of the newest wublin. A glass head with many eyes, many trash parts around the base, fuzzy limbs, and reader hands.
As they were discussing, the door to the treehouse opened quickly.
"Wubbox, what the fuck did you do?" Rare hissed at him.

"What?"

"You brough...those abominations with you, and they're being held at the county police station for you to pick up."
Wubbox closed his notebook then stood up.
"Your not screwing with me?"

"I hate you more than the earth, and would rather die than talk to you, but the cops forced me to, so here i am."
Wubbox sighed, and walked back out into outside, making his way down the roads and to the place he hoped to never visit.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU?!" He shouted as the five cowered under him. "I gave you one simple rule, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN FOLLOW THAT!! I don't ask much of any of you, i let you do whatever you want to, yet you still refuse to listen when i ask you to!..What do you have to say for yourselves?"

The five did not respond. Brump looked rather calm about the situation, Thwok and Zynth looked angry, Dwumrohl hid in his feathers, and Whajje was curled up by Dwumrohl as he tried to cry silently. When Wubbox did not get a response, he stopped.
"I don't want to see disobedience of that magnitude ever again. You understand me?"

"Yes." Four of them spoke.
Wubbox then turner away after a moment, and back into his building.

"I told you so." Poewk remarked, sitting next to a sleeping Gheegur.
