"Finally! I'll just take down the first one after that. Elmore belongs to us.", Season 2 Gumball commented while clenching his fists and smirking at the other him.

"Oh please, you second generationers will never win. We were there first and we will be there last. But if it gets me back there, I'll silence the new ones first.", Season 1 Rob added with a sadistic smile while looking at the other Gumball and Rob.

"No wait! This is huge. Don't you want to talk about this?", the current Rob asked but it fell on deaf ears as the counterparts already lounged at him and Gumball.

...

"Now it's just Carrie's word against Darwin's to see who can be more convincing."

Hearing the message a second time didn't make it any easier for Penny and Carrie than it was the first one.

In fact, you could argue this time it was even worse as they now didn't get thrown into the hot water with it, wondering what just happened, but basically had it as a validation of their worst theories about it being reality.

Despite that, it didn't hit them anywhere near as hard as Nicole and Richard.

Nicole was basically frozen in place with an unreadable look right now while Richard had tears welling up in his eyes, unable to believe it.

"She-She's dead? M-My baby is... GONE!?", he sobbed, falling to his knees in the process.

Nicole also had tears forming in her eyes but she looked more angry than saddened.

No, scratch that. Not angry, absolutely murderous.

Penny and Carrie often heard stories from their boyfriends about how scary their mother could be, although Penny couldn't remember them right now.

Back then they assumed some of it was true, but that Gumball and Darwin were also overreacting to some degree about how powerful she really was, maybe as some kind of admiration for their mother's strength.

Sure, they could buy her being a martial arts master but beating up Mr. Rex, who even dwarfed Tina, the most fearsome student in their school?

That must've been imaginary. After all, she was just an average sized cat and didn't have any special abilities like them. Right?

Every doubt of those claims were thrown out of the window when Nicole punched the wall of their house, faster than the girls could even comprehend and, not only destroyed the entire thing in the process, but send out a shockwave that wandered through the whole street, messing up all the other backyards in the process.

Nicole didn't care about the property damage one bit right now.

As she was breathing heavily, she turned towards the sky and sent out a furious scream that could've been straight out of a horror movie and unleashed a huge burst of fire into the air.

Even the unshakable Carrie who was basically living in horror and could hardly be fazed by anything at this point felt a rare fear of the women in front of her. That's not to mention how frightened Penny looked right now, before instinctively shapeshifting into a mouse.

The only one who didn't react to her outburst was Richard, as he was still on his knees, sobbing loudly and seemingly not caring about anything that was going on outside of his own sadness at the moment.

"He killed her! HE KILLED HER! He...k-killed Anais.", Nicole repeated, the first two times furiously before it went silent during the last time as her anger was replaced by something even stronger right now:

Immense grief at the realization that she would never see her baby again. That she isn't alive anymore.

Nicole slowly moved towards Richard and wrapped her arms around him as she started crying just as hard as him. Richard reciprocated the hug but didn't stop to say anything as he was also too overwhelmed by it all to find words.
