TAWOG: The Finale

23 December 2019
New Aberdeen, Vasteria
----
It was a chilly day in the Vasterian capital city, New Aberdeen. No, not chilly as in snowing, but the kind of chilly felt in the Philippines during rainy days. Many Vasterians have started hanging stockings on the walls, setting up their Christmas trees, and even buying Christmas feast ingredients.
But that day was a day the Vasterian cartoon fanbase will never get out of their minds.
The day the bad ending to the popular cartoon series The Amazing World of Gumball aired on national television.

This story will focus on a family in midtown New Aberdeen: the MacMurrays. Joe and Hennie were your average parents, their elder brother Charles was your archetypal gamer and the younger brother and sister David and Davina, both twins, were fans of Gumball. They lived happily in their apartment block, which was in clear view of Robson Walk, or the Vasterian Times Square/Shibuya Crossing.
On that fateful day, the children were now sitting on the couch, hyped for the final episode of Gumball. The brother thought this was a joke, but turns out, the whole ending thing was anything but a joke, and the ending would be nothing short of grim.
The omen that would decide on the fate of the show was a caption, in the style of the episodes and credits. The disclaimer read:
Heads up! What you're about to see is a cut of the following episode that would have been used in Indonesia. The ending will make you go WHAAAAAAT? so stay tuned to find out the change in it!
So their parents had already prepared some cheese coated fries with marinara sauce dip for them to eat on the night of the world premiere. As the episode progressed, the three were unprepared for the grim turn of events that were to come, for one minor change was nothing but a trigger for the domino effect that would lead to the series plot taking a very, very, depressing turn for the worse.
As the episode reached its end, they noticed one small problem that would have big consequences. They noticed that Gumball didn't catch the remote in time, and so he began to glitch, until he was just as corrupted-looking as Rob.
It was at this moment the kids knew. Gumball had been done away with, and Rob has triumphed.
The entire nation had their jaws drop at the sad realization. But, it was just the beginning of the end for Gumball.
There was an extra episode. It was called "The Spinoff". David and Davina were petrified, while Charles gave no crap, because he was tired of good endings and wanted to see the consequences of Rob's victory. But hey, he did pay attention, because he would like what happened next.
Gumball, now a glitched-up helpless clone, was panicked at his new appearance. Looking into a (discarded) mirror, he screamed so much the mirror broke in his face. Now even more panicked, he was wondering what was going on in his world without him.
Then the standard Gumball intro played. Except, it looked corrupted the same way Rob had been, as well as bits of degradation like what was shown in "The Money". Then, the logo was edited to read "The Amazing World of Rob" instead. The national Gumball fanbase were even more petrified at the next scene.
Cut to Elmore becoming corrupted AND degraded at the same time. The wave spread until everything else was fully changed. Darwin vanished, Nicole and Richard became their correct ages, but also as corrupted as Rob (and now turned into his obedient slaves), and the worst part of it all, Gumball's house vanished like it never existed in the first place, but there was a gravestone that read "Gumball BURNS IN HELL" with the Burn in Hell part in graffiti. Much like Carrie White.
The new Elmore was called "Robville". Now, the whole show was littered with nothing but total villainy, depression, chaos, outdated mullets, hairsprays, and the #YOLO hashtag. Enter Rob, now a superpowered king who is happy from not only destroying Gumball, but also taking over Elmore and the show proper. The new episode showed Rob going around town, going around his daily shenanigans without having to deal with Gumball. The show had become nothing more than a show in the style of a political comedy about a dictator.
After Rob went around doing his trash, he gave out a diabolical smirk, as the video glitched out. Then, the credits played out as normal, as did the Cartoon Network DSE logo.
David and Davina were most shocked. So shocked they couldn't move, like they'd been exposed to Medusa. But Charles managed to snap them out of their figurative petrification and told them what they experienced. Instead, they began to cry from how devastated they were at losing Gumball. Tearfully, they told Charles everything they saw in near-complete detail before rushing off to bed to cry themselves to sleep.
The ending was never aired again.

So that ends the sequel to the "Gumball bad ending" story I made before. Hope you guys enjoyed.
