The Incomplete World Of Elmore

Part 23

"Hey guys, not to be a downer or anything, but we just let the guy who, last I checked, almost killed us," William articulated, sounding upbeat but then furious at the end as the rest of the group, except for Gumball, realized this mistake.

"Where's he going again?" Gumball asked.

"Breaker going back to Franklin Jr High. Most likely, he will get back with more friends and will kill us." Carmen responded, worried, placing her hands on her chest.

"But Aphrodite's there," Gumball exclaimed. The team immediately glared at him.

"Hold on, what's your little sister doing at that school?" Darrel looked at Gumball.

"I...told her to call in sick. Because I assumed they would be attacking us again so, I sent her to destroy Franklin Jr High on the inside." Gumball is not looking at them.

"I thought you were incapable of lying?" Ocho asked.

"It wasn't a lie. She did have a cough." Gumball enunciated.

"Why didn't you tell us they would be attacking again?" Clare asked, shrugged her arms.

"As I said before, I was unsure when they would attack, but I didn't want her to be in danger of another attack."

"So let me get this straight: you told your little sister to lie about being sick and sent her into that dangerous environment all by herself?" Carrie asked as she placed her hands on her hips, sounding annoyed.

"Yes, but recall that all of you, excluding Clare, went behind me to spy on Carmen about how she was faking her reform," Gumball replies after narrowing his eyes.

"The difference is we, as in mostly William's idea, were concerned for you," Carrie said after getting a glare from William.

"Can we please stay on topic, Gumball? What were you thinking about bringing her alone? She could gotten killed or, worse, turned into one of them?" Clare asked, raising an eyebrow.

The camera zooms in on Gumball's face. At first, he doesn't react. Then it zooms out and back in again, and this time, Gumball's eyebrows are raised. But the camera zooms out again and then zooms back in, and this time, it finally dawns on him what he did. After being informed that Aphrodite is in danger, it finally hits him that she is in danger. You can see his pupils shrink and his eyes grow large as he realizes the situation. "APHRODITE!" Gumball sprinted so swiftly that he left frozen marks on the ground as he sped by.

"Come on, we gotta go after him." Carmen, William, Darrel, Carrie, and Clare were about to go after him, but Darrel stopped them.

"Wait? He and that Bleu guy are going to Franklin Jr High. Why don't we teleport to that school?" Ocho says, clearly pointing to Carrie.

"Why are you cutting to me?" Carrie confused.

"Carrie, you teleported us outta the Cafe before that red guy axed us." Ocho.

"I don't know where the school is, plus I was panicking then." Carrie.

"I know where the school is, and it's near the roller rink around HowsaboutISlapYaAve." Carmen.

"...that can't be a real street name." Carrie

"It's a real street name." Clare pulls out her phone and shows Carrie the place on Elmore Map.

"Ugh, whatever, guys, get close to me." Carrie sounded reluctant. The kids huddled together, and Carrie teleported just as the Franklin staff were about to attack.

"Huh, where did they go?" Magneto looks around to find them.

"They just disappeared?" Nadel confessed.
