As Mumbo walked down the sterile rooms of the laboratory he started to reminisce on his life here. Him building an entire town by hand Ron and the others moving in. the making of the factory so he could farm all the resources he needed. His friendship with the entire Magic Mountain Crew. He was going to miss them, Joel building another skyscraper in the time it took him to build a small house, Scar who was going to kill himself by brining monsters on his train and Grian who he didn’t see often but when he did his entire world lit up.
At least I’ll live long enough to say hello to them again, I mean that was the entire reason I made me be able to talk. Mumbo thought while laying on the sterile and hard mattress doctors standing around him putting a mask on and asking him to count back from ten. Ten… nine …. Eeeigght …. Se…… ven. And then he was asleep as the doctors transferred his brain into a chicken.
The sounds of the bulbous creation awoke Mumbo, but instead of feeling his hands and being able to turn his head Mumbo only saw the surplus mega Corp and some trees. Wait those trees-he recognized them from somewhere, he knew someone important build them. Someone important Important Im im. Oh, Wait Impulse build those trees and next to that was scar’s zoo. These cogs made it hard to think straight.
After about a week a girl with red hair and in pirate clothing came and visited him. He couldn’t quite remember who she was, he knew she lives in a tow run over by a kraken on the other side of the volcano. She said hello and asked him how he was doing. “H…E…L…L…O_I…M_D…O…I…N…G_G…O…O…D_W…H…A…T_A…B…O…U…T_Y…O…U” mumbo asked without using any words. “I’m doing really good loving how your town ended up” the girl said back. “T…H…A…N…K_Y…O…U”Q…U…E…S…T…I…O…N_W…H…O_A…R…E_Y…O…U” when the answer was done being displayed on the screen the girl looked up at him with shock and a small bit of sadness in her face as if he had just betrayed her. “Mumbo it’s me gem! Don’t you remember me? I mean we didn’t interact that much, but we live on the same mountain, and I thought we had a good friendship!?” the girl who apparently was named gem shouted back. Mumbo looked at her and couldn’t remember anything expect where she lived and even that was hazy. “N…O_I…D..O_N…O…T_R…E..M…E…MB…E…R_Y…O..U” gem realizing that she had lost the Mumbo she knew decided to take more drastic action. She flew away leaving him stuck to look around at his and Skizz’s his base.
