They the Wubbox : Rewritten

[Chapter 13]

"Alright, i'm turning around!" Wubbox giggled, and slowly turned around and facing the building.

He counted to five in his head, hearing the clear skittering of Petite and Poewk's claws on the ground, Bona's deep thumping steps, Whajje's giggling, Screemu's branches swaying and duck feet slapping, Zynth's buzzing, and Dwumrohl's feathers shuffling.

Once he counted, he quickly turned around. Whajje jumped back quicky, and Petite fell trying to hold position.
"Whajje, Petite." Wubbox said with a chuckle.

"Dang it!" Whajje exclaimed, and Petite made an angry growl. The quickly walked over to the very end by the platform, and Wubbox turned back around.

"I call forfeit." Dwumrohl spoke suddenly, turning around and walking away. No one reacted, but holding still as Wubbox turned around again. When no one moved, He turned back around.

Screemu moved slowly, then reached his hand forward to tag him, but stopped and froze when a loud crackling sound filled the air. As the blue-colored shockwave hit them, Wubbox covered his head from the sound and vibration as the few others took cover and held onto the nearest one.

Everyone turned over to look at where the sound had come from, and they saw nothing. It was louder than lighting, or anything Wubbox had heard. Could it have been an explosion? Or something worse that they couldn't comprehend?
Gheegur was the farthest on the island, but closest to the light. Within just a blink of an eye, he was quickly encased with stone once more, stuck In a fearful position.

The others only had seconds to react before also getting stuck in stone. Petite quickly ran over to Bona, but as soon as she touched him, they turned to stone. Poewk only turned around to look at him before turning to stone.

Their bodies were frozen with fear and panic. Wubbox was paralyzed, looking around the wublins with his mind not registering what happened.

After a long silent moment, he finally heard a voice in the silence.
"Revenge." It said. It wasn't Wublin, or anyone he'd ever heard before. It was feminine, and it told him to kill who killed them.

Only then did he begin to cry. He broke down, his legs refused to move, but let him lay upon the ground. He was only allowed to cry.

He couldn't do anything else, until eventually, he finally blacked out. In that world he conjured up in his head, he saw every wublin he did and planned on making. They interacted like regular monsters, but something was off. Their faces were blocked out, like a mask that wore to prevent seeing and being seen.

The only ones who didn't, was Blipsqueak and another robot he did not recognize. They looked similar, yet different. They fought and swung at each other as Blipsqueak was pinned to the ground, desperatly attempting to get the other off, until suddenly, it's hand broke the other's glass casing, water spilling out and onto Blipsqueak as if it were blood.

No other monster took note of it, as if it wasn't happening in front of him. He sat up from his spot, then Gheegur and Whajje came up to him quickly, speaking some kind of language he didn't understand. It was like the one the Celestials spoke when they needed to privately send messages vocally, but he couldn't understand it.

Galvana refused to teach him and his brothers the language, which only made it more difficult. Gheegur had a nervous but exited body language, while Whajje seemed somewhat aggravated. He couldn't understand, and it only made him want to cry more.

"Just cry, like you always do."

He awoke at the sudden shock and pain of his core being grabbed. He sat up and one monster was near him, once like Kayna, but grey and green, and a flame along it's chest.
"S-Stop touching that.!" Wubbox snapped at him.

"Oh, sorry dude!" He let go of his core, letting it drift back to his chest.

Once Wubbox was fully awake, he looked around and saw the sky ship stopped on the side of the island.
"We had a bit of trouble navigating the storm, which is why it took us two days to get here, and the portals shut down after the blast. We need you to come with us."

"Whats the point? Theres nothing left for me to fight for. J-just-just everything...gone.."

"I know. Many monsters have fled or dies because of it, but the fire monsters—us who brought the ship—are mostly fine. But we can share our theories on what happened. We tried to contact the celestials, but they're radio silent! If they'll listen to anyone, it's you! And all your brothers are boxed up, and it will take years to get them back!"

Wubbox stayed still as he took in the information, looking at the ground. His brothers and kids dead, and his parents being silent. It seemed like a clear case.
The monster reached out his hand to Wubbox, so he took it an stood to his feet. They walked to the ship quickly and boarding it.

"Oh! Sorry i didn't say before, but i'm Kayno, a rare kayna. Theres Myne, Lexovi, and Twindle."
The rest were a rare Floogull, Epic Stogg, and Edamimi. They were all very different, and attention grabbing in colors and originality.

"Everyone agrees that they believe the Celestials did it. We even sent a Glowl up to Starhenge, and it came back saying the Celestials were not there, and the building was locked. That must mean they're up to something." Myne said.

"And it was blue...But...Why would Galvana attack everyone? Everyone said she had changed.." Wubbox looked off the ship as they flew back.

"Everyone lies all the time. Thats why i don't have friends and my life sucks." Lexovi laughed at himself.

"You probably know more than we do. We'll get you to the leaders as soon as we get to Seasonal Shanty. Just sit tight, alright?"

The group had a conversation of a different subject as Wubbox began to think more and drown them out. He tried thinking through every possible reason, but he couldn't find any that made sense. He was going to find a reason and cause to explain what happened, even if he pried it from the hands of the cold dead bodies of the Celestials.
