The Savior/Transcript

## Waking Up

*[Rob opens his eye slowly, then widens it in surprise. He is laying in the middle of a street, blue-skinned and non-static]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: *[Gasps and sits up]* Wait… *[Runs a pink hand through his hair and examines the other]* *How?*
*[He stands up and looks around him]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: What...happened?

*[He walks a little bit until he steps in a puddle. He looks at his reflection and sees himself in his disfigured form. Suddenly, the world around him collapses like giant walls, revealing static behind them. Rob wakes up again, back in his disfigured form. He is laying on a park bench]*

**R****ob**​: *[panting]* Oh...That dream again.

*[Rob sits up and stares at the ground. After a few moments, he stands up and walks out of the park. He makes his way to where Molly's house used to be. Slowly, he pries opens the entrance to the Void. He looks around inside until he sees a mass of static and polygons coming toward him]*

**R****ob**​​​​: Uh-oh.

## A Threat

*[Rob runs through the town, begging people for help]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: Please! Somebody help! *[Everyone he approaches walks away]* Something's coming for me! I need help to stop it!

*[Gumball, who is in the crowd of people, steps forward]*

**Gumball**: Rob, what's wrong?

**R****ob**​​​​​: No! Not you! Anybody but you!

**Gumball**: But I just wanna help!

**R****ob**​​​​​: *[Through gritted teeth]* I don't need *your* help with this.

*[Rob tries to leave, but Gumball keeps blocking his way]*

**Gumball**: Aw, come on! At least tell me what it is!

**R****ob**​​​​​: You're just gonna try to help anyway!

**Gumball**: Rob, look at everybody else here.

**R****ob**​​​​​: There's nobody left here.

**Gumball**: Exactly. None of those people cared. For once in my life I'm not being the selfish one, so please just tell me what's wrong.

*[Rob closes his eye and sighs]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: Fine.

*[Gumball smiles one of his wide-eyed, cute smiles]*

**R****ob**​​​​​: Something— well, some*one* is after me.

**Gumball**: Who? Is he some guy with a mustache?

*[Rob gives Gumball a look]*

**Gumball**: What's the look for? You literally gave no description!

**R****ob**​​​​​: He, well... He's the being who controls the Void.

**Gumball**: Huh?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: They call him... the Nothing.

**Gumball**: The Nothing?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: *[Nods and opens the Void portal]* He cherry-picks people that he feels aren't serving a purpose in the world, and... *[He pauses]* ...sends them to the Void. Like Molly and me.

**Gumball**: How... How long has he been after you?

**R****ob**​​​​​​: Ever since I escaped the Void. We need to defeat him so he stops chasing me. *[jumps in]* Meet me in the Void!

## An Unexpected Encounter

*[Gumball feels like he is being watched from behind. He turns around and sees a furious Darwin]*

**Gumball**: Hey du-

**Darwin**: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! YOU LOST OUR PLACE IN THE BAGHEAD MOVIE TICKET LINE!!!

**Gumball**: I'm sorry dude, it's just... Rob needed my help!

**Darwin**: HOW CAN THIS GUY BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN-
*[He notices the opened portal]* Whoa.

**Gumball**: Someone's after him. He's this huge monster with all this static, and these, uh, tentacle-thingies called the Nothing.

**Darwin**: The Nothing?

**Gumball**: He controls the Void.

**Darwin**: He sounds like a mean person!

**Gumball**: Yeah, I gotta go. I told Rob I would meet him in the Void.. *[He starts to step into the portal, but stops and turns around]*

**Darwin**: Why are you helping him anyway? I thought you two hated each other.

**Gumball**: Well, sometimes... things change. *[he steps into the portal and disappears]*

**Darwin**: *[nodding]* Hmm, very deep.

*[Darwin gets an idea and runs away]*

## Mr. Gadgets

*[Gumball is searching for Rob when Darwin jumps through the portal. He is carrying Bobert and runs up to Gumball]*

**Gumball**: Dude..?

**Darwin**: *[puts down Bobert]* Thought you'd need some help.

**Bobert**: Hello, Gumball.

**Gumball**: You shouldn't be here, it's too dangerous. I don't want you to get hurt...

**Darwin**: Watch this! *[he presses a button on Bobert]*

**Bobert**: Activating Combat Mode. *[a bunch of weapons and stuff pop out]*

**Gumball**: Okay, I'm impressed. This'll help a lot if we need to battle the Nothing!

**R****ob**​: *[looking around]* Gumball? You here yet? *[his gaze falls on Gumball]* Gumball! You came! *[His gaze then falls on Darwin and Bobert]* ...And, you brought these two. *[he sighs]*

**Gumball**: They're here to help! Bobert can help us if we need to battle!

**R****ob**​: *[pauses, and gets frustrated]* Ugh!

*[Rob runs away. Gumball looks at Darwin and Bobert, and runs after him.]*

## Crying for a Monster

*[Gumball finds Rob sitting on the edge of a piece of land. He reaches out to touch Rob's shoulder]*

**Gumball**: ...Ro—

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Cuts Gumball off]* Why are you doing this for me?

**Gumball**: W-What?

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Turns around]* In fact, why are you even trying to help me? All I've ever done is hurt you.

*[Gumball pauses for a moment, biting his lip]*

**Gumball**: Because you don't deserve everything you've been through. You're a good person. You shouldn't be treated like this.

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Angrily]* And why shouldn't I? Am I really a good person? I've stolen, I've tried to murder you, I've torn your family apart. I'm a despicable person!

*[Flames appear in Rob's eye]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: *[Screaming]* I DON'T DESERVE TO BE SAVED!

*[Gumball is shocked. Tears form in his eyes]*

**Gumball**: *[quietly]* Rob, do you really think that about yourself?

*[Rob, who is panting, notices the tears, and an amused smile forms on his face]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: Are you crying?

*[A single tear rolls down Gumball's cheek]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​: You're crying for *me*? A monster?

**Gumball**: *[He takes Rob's pink hand]* You're not a monster, Rob. Every single thing you've done to hurt someone is because of me. I took everything away from you, and I know you'll never forgive me, *[tears well up in Gumball's eyes again]* but *please*, just let me help you. And.. you can hate me as much as you want after this, and I won't blame you a single bit, because— *[Gumball starts crying again]* —I'm a horrible person, and I- I ruined your life.. *[Gumball looks Rob straight in the eye, and says quietly]* I'm sorry.

*[Rob is in shock; he doesn't know what to say]*

**R****ob**​​​: I-I...

*[Gumball suddenly reaches up and pulls Rob into a hug. Gumball is now audibly sobbing, tears flowing down his face. Darwin and Bobert walk up and stand a few feet away. Gumball and Rob stop hugging]*

**Bobert**: I do not wish to ruin this moment, but what are we doing?

## The Attack

*[Rob lays out a giant blueprint]*

**Gumball**: What's this, a slab of cobalt? Put this away.

**R****ob**​: How do you know what cobalt is?

**Gumball**: I watch Minecraft gossip. Now what is this?

**R****ob**​: This is a blueprint. See this? *[points to a drawing of a tentacled static monster]* That is the Nothing. There is a debris field in between here and the back of the Nothing's hideout.

**Darwin**: Wouldn't it be called a *lair*?

**R****ob**​: Why does it matter? *[Darwin shrugs, he continues]* I suggest we parkour on the field until we end up at the back of his *lair*. You guys in?

**Gumball**, **Darwin**, and **Bobert**: ***YEAH!***

**R****ob**​: Then let's do it.

*[The four parkour on the debris field until they make it to their destination. Rob counts to three on his fingers and bust into the Nothing's lair. He is watching Teen Titans Go! on his television. The Nothing is a static monster with tentacles and a giant TV on his head with one eye poking through the screen]*

**R****ob**​: The *Nothing*.

**The Nothing**: Hello, Rob. I've been waiting for you.

**Gumball**: Theeeen how come you're not wearing pants?

**The Nothing**: Why can I not be comfortable waiting for you guys?

**Gumball**: Sorry.

**The Nothing**: PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM!

**R****ob**: Everyone, behind me!

*[The Nothing jumps out of his seat and blasts some sort of power towards the team. The power hits a portrait of The Nothing, and it glitches out of existence. The quartet of attackers jump out of the house, and they land on a large and round piece of land. They get up just as The Nothing comes crashing down in front of them, his large complexion now entirely visible. Darwin presses a button on Bobert.]*

**Bobert**: Activating Combat Mode.

*[Bobert becomes as big as The Nothing. He fires his guns at his tentacled adversary, causing The Nothing to fall over. He gets up and fires his power at Bobert. Bobert dodges and the power bounces off some debris, hitting the wall of the Void and creating a hole into the real world. Meanwhile, Nicole sits on the council in her house watching television. Richard is asleep next to her. A portal to the Void opens up in front of her. Back to the fight, Bobert and The Nothing do hand-to-hand combat. The Nothing wins, pushing Bobert away and deactivating his Combat Mode. Darwin stands in front of the villain.]*

**Darwin**: FISH SLAP!

*[He fish slaps The Nothing. This does not hurt the villain, and The Nothing throws Darwin at Bobert, hitting their heads together and knocking them both out.]*

**Gumball**: STOP HURTING MY FRIENDS!

**The Nothing**: Oh, little one. There is so much you don't know.

*[The Nothing kicks Gumball away as Gumball charges at him.]*

**Gumball**: AHHHHHHH!

*[He tumbles to the side and nearly falls of the piece of land.]*

**R****ob**: *[Offscreen]* ENOUGH!

*[The Nothing turns to see Rob, who is roughed up, mainly from the fall, he charges at The Nothing, dodging the villain's attacks, then jumps at The Nothing, hitting him so hard that he pushes both of them out of the Void, crashing through the Watterson's house while Nicole screams. The Nothing stands up outside the house as tall as a tower.]*

**The Nothing**: Ah, Rob. Do you like your new glitched self? Do you like life outside of the Void?

**R****ob**: W-well, um, not really...

*[Gumball climbs up from hanging on the piece of land. Darwin and Bobert are still unconscious. He sees the portal out of the Void.]*

**Gumball**: R-Rob? Are you out there?

*[Although not getting an answer, Gumball jumps into the portal. Scene changes back to The Nothing and Rob. Nicole picks up a shovel and runs toward the giant villain.]*

**Nicole**: STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY!

*[Nicole stabs one of The Nothing's tentacles with the spade of the shovel]*

**The Nothing**: Ow!

*[The Nothing smacks Nicole so hard she is tossed off to the side unconscious.]*

**R****ob**: MRS. WATTERSON!

**The Nothing**: HA HA HA!

**R****ob**: That's enough! You can make me redundant. You can send me to your Void. Heck, you can make me as disfigured as you want! But you will not. harm. my friends!

**The Nothing**: Oh, Rob, how did you forget? I only wanted *you* in the first place. And you just said you did not like being here, so why care about these measly creatures?

**R****ob**: They are my friends, and you cannot have me! I belong out here, with my new friends and life! You have made the wrong decision chasing me.

**The Nothing**: We shall see.

## The Sacrifice

*[The Nothing starts shooting more power from his tentacles at Rob. He dodges them as the blasts hit inanimate objects, fizzing them out of the world. The scene changes back to Darwin and Bobert. The objects that were hit by the blasts start appearing in the Void. A fire hydrant hits Darwin's head, making him wake up.]*

**Darwin**: OW! What the- *[He shakes Bobert awake]* Bobert, WAKE UP!

**Bobert**: On! Wait, where did-

**Darwin**: I think they went through that portal. Let's go!

*[They jump through the portal as well. Meanwhile, Gumball emerges from the portal and watches Rob and The Nothing fight.]*

**Gumball**: Rob?

**R****ob**: *[Who doesn't notice Gumball.]* Go away! I belong here! I told you!

**The Nothing**: YOU IDIOT! I brought you to the Void because you didn't fit in! You have no friends, and you will *never* fit in!

*[He smacks Rob, sending him headfirst into the wall of the Wattersons' house. Gumball gasps. Rob turns around, disorientated, and looks up at The Nothing in fear.]*

**The Nothing**: And now, Rob, you will become *mine.*

**Gumball**: NO!

*[Rob finally notices Gumball. Gumball runs toward the fight, and jumps in front of Rob just as The Nothing blasts the Void power at Rob, hitting Gumball instead. Rob, shocked, watches Gumball fall over a few feet away.]*

**R****ob**: (**teared up**) GUMBALL!

*[The Nothing laughs and fizzes back into the Void. Nicole wakes up as this happens. Rob runs over to Gumball.]*

## Gumball's Demise

**R****ob**: Gumball!

**Gumball**: H-Hey, Rob.

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​: But why would you save... *me?* I haven't done anything to deserve being saved...

**Gumball**: *[weakly]* B-Because, Rob. It's what friends do. Th-They look out for each other...

*[Gumball looks at his hand, which is starting to glitch. Rob takes Gumball's hand into his]*

**Gumball**: *[very quietly, almost a whisper]* I-I don't have m-much time...

*[The glitching has spread all the way up along Gumball's arm to his shoulder. Gumball looks Rob in the eye]*

**Gumball**: *[his voice is now a faint whisper]* G-Goodbye, Rob..

*[Tears form in Rob's eye as Gumball's eyes close]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​: *[whispers]* Gumball...

*[the rest of Gumball's body glitches out of existence]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: *[choked up, with tears now streaming down his polygonal face]* N-No!

**Nicole**: *[coming up behind Rob (she had not seen what happened), quietly and almost worried]* ...Where's Gumball?

**R****ob**​​​​​: *[He starts sobbing]* He.. He saved me...

**Nicole**: *[Kneeling next to Rob]*: What happened?

**R****ob**​​​​​: *[Rob turns to face Nicole]* I turned him away, I yelled at him. And he saved me. *[He starts sobbing again, wrapping his arms around himself]* A-And now he's gone... Before I could even say sorry.

**Nicole**: *[tears form in her eyes]* Gone? What do you mean he's *gone?* Where is my son?!

**R****ob**​​​​​: In the Void. *[Nicole gasps]* He saved me from going there again.

**Nicole**: So he's... gone?

​*[Rob nods, covering his mouth]*

## The Nothing's Comeuppance

*[Rob enters the Void]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: Gumball? Where are you?

*[The Nothing glitches in front of him, holding a limp and somewhat glitchy Gumball in one of his, uh.. tentacle-claw-thingies?]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: *[in horror]* Gumball...

**The Nothing**: Hello, Rob.

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: *[angrily, to the Nothing]* LET GO OF MY FRIEND!

**Gumball**: *[weakly, yet hopeful]* R- Rob?

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: Gumball!

**The Nothing**: *[sinister chuckle]* I don't think your little *friend* is doing very well over here...

*[The Nothing tightens his grip on Gumball, hurting him. Gumball screams in pain.]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​​​​​: I said let him go!

**The Nothing**: As you wish. *[Rob smiles, surprised]* ...but you must agree to come with me first.

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: *[he hesitates]* Fine. I'll come.

**The Nothing**: And, I will not release him until I finish showing you.

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: Showing me what...?

**The Nothing**: Come.

*[The Nothing uses his long, polygonal tentacles to move from one rock island to another. He still hasn't loosened his grip on Gumball, who is now unconscious. Rob has to move quickly to keep up with him.]*

## Reversing the Damage

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: Now, let Gumball go.

**The Nothing**: Oh, yes. I forgot.

*[The Nothing lowers Gumball, who is still unconscious, to the ground]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: Gumball! *[he runs towards Gumball and takes him into his arms. Rob gets a closer look at him, and finds many small areas of his body decaying and glitched]* Gumball... *[He touches Gumball's face, and the cat smiles weakly. Gumball then slowly opens his eyes to look at Rob]*

**Gumball**: *[weakly]* Thanks, R-Rob...

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: *[he smiles]* You.. you were the only one who cared enough to do anything to me..

**The Nothing**: Now, I cannot reverse the damage the Void has done to your appearance, but I can help your friend.

*[Rob looks up at the Nothing and nods sadly, while continuing to stroke Gumball, who has fallen asleep again]*

**R****ob**​​​​​​​​: *[he looks back down at Gumball]* I... I understand.

*[The Nothing levitates Gumball and removes the static from him and lowers gumball down]*

**Gumball**: [Weakly] H-Huh?

**R****ob**: Gumball!
