Summary: one half of the gang finds Zooble and talks to the Gloink queen, while the others take care of the Kaufmo situation. Unfortunately, these events intertwine.

My face scrunches up at the sight of the giant, slimy, slug-like creature before me.

It ate a table given to it by the gloinks, and...more gloinks came out the other end.

"Ew," I muttered, covering my nose. There was a foul, putrid smell in the air.

"An insect collection?" quieres Kinger, thoughtfully.

"I think it's a nest."

"AHH!"

"Huh, what form of non-Gloinkinian mass in the nest of the Queen?" the creature said in a deep, gurgly voice. I almost threw up.

Jax sighed, unbothered, pretending to check his nails sassily. "Oh, is that who you are? You know, you have for my me to see so and disgusting," He said, holding his arms up and motioning to her general area. I snorted.

"I mean, seriously, don't you need a license to have this kind of stench?" I added, waving my hand around.

The gloink queen looked taken aback by our comments, shaking her head. "How despicable, a that runs its in the of my figure!"

I barked out a laugh. Jax elbowed me roughly.

"And you! An unsightly weed-like girl like you, commenting on my beauty in such a condescending way!" she said dramatically, and suddenly, my smile was wiped off my face.

"Hey, don't you talk to her like that!" Jax pointed a finger, taking a step forward. I blushed, pulling him back to where he was before.

"Jax, the gloinks-ugh, ankle biting a$#@!?*s."

Jax chuckled.

Kinger looked up from his kneel, stating, "Well, as a myself, I like to ask if-oh, look there's Zooble! Hi, Zooble!" We all looked over to see Zooble's body parts being carried away being multiple gloinks.

"Ugh! Help me, you idiots!"

Jax tsked. "Kind rude, Zooble. Now I don't wanna help you," Jax sassed, crossing his arms in a defiant manner.

I stood there and watched, my jaw slack. Is that painful?

Kinger and Gangle both sigh, playing rock paper scissors. Kinger wins, but is somehow the one who goes to help Zooble.

Kinger goes over and puts his hands on Zooble's head, trying to pick them up, but instead, his hands get carried away with them.

My eyes widened and I ran up to try and catch them as they got thrown into the gloink's mouth. I miss, landing on my stomach with a thud.

"You motherf#$-"

"D@?n."

"You okay there, princess?" Jax extends a hand down to me and I take it graciously, letting him pull me to stand.

I brush myself off, smiling at him. "Thanks, cottontail."

He shook his head with a hint of a smile on his face.

Gangle shrieks and Jax merely shrugs.

"Eh, they'll be fine."

Jax and I both look down to see a glitchy blue gloink. We share a terrified look.

"You of characters! Do you not must be Gloinks!? I am Gloinks, You will be Gloinks! God will be Gloinks-uh!" the gloink queen is cut off by Jax's sassy tone.

"This is dumb and weird," he says in a disgusted voice, leaning his arm on my shoulder.

"Well, er- B- uh-Y- Yet you're it!"

"That's cause we have nothing better to do," I roll my eyes and sigh, looking around boredly.

Suddenly, Kaufmo's black, glitched out figure crashes through the ceiling, crushing the gloink queen.

"Holy s$%t!"

Jax pulled me towards himself, pushing me back behind him a little bit. I felt my face flush. Was he trying to protect me?

I notice Zooble's head in Kinger's hands. That's good.

"What's happening?" Gangle asked.

"That's just Kaufmo. Don't worry about it."

There was a pause.

"Kaufmo abstracted!?" she shrieked and I nodded sadly.

"Nah- he's- he's fine."

"YOU'RE RIGHT! HERE!?" Kinger shouted.

"Guys, over there," Zooble said and we all looked towards the direction she was looking in, seeing a set of escalators.

"Surely those weren't there before?"

"Nope. No they were not, sugar cube."

We all run over and Jax gets there first.

"Ladies first~" he bows slightly and let's me walk on.

"No wait, why would I say that?" I looked back to se he had pushed Gangle out of the way, getting on after me.

I smacked his arm.

"Ow, what!?"

"Rude!"
