Sorry for the delay~! I am currently recovering from a procedure, and it's been very draining and painful recovering from it. ToT Things are slooowly getting better, so back to comics!!

=Gumball Warrior Lore=
(Celestial Voids and Corruption)

If you have read Gumball Warrior, then you should be familiar with, and know what a "Celestial Void" is. (Mentioned here, and a brief description from Page 7 of TBaTK) This is a power all Star Warrior's are able to channel when in dire need. Precious memories are stored in it, and Page 5 of "Demons from The Past" shows Lady Atka interacting with said memories. (It was the memory of when Bate goes to her for advice about Starting a family with Ellie, TBaTS Pg 18)

Bate's memories has taken the forms of petals. I have stated that Celestial Voids take on the first happy memory of a Star Warrior. If you're a real lore buff, then you'd remember why Bate's void takes the form of falling petals. If you don't recall, you can read it here!

Memories are incredibly important to ones self. They hold the very core of who we are- our family, friends, loved ones. Throughout the series when Bate's Void is shown, you can clearly see colorful petals endlessly falling.

Now!!!

If you have a keen eye, you'd know throughout the entire story of "A Matter of Time" Bate's memories were slowly being corrupted. I mentioned before that corruption can mess with ones memories. It can re-write them, make the user forget them. A good example is Page 27 of Grand Illusion and Page 15 of A Matter of Time

The further the chapter got, more and more petals starting to turn grey and corrupted. Were you able to catch that? >v<;;; That's why when Ramset told Bate to remember all the memories they shared, Bate couldn't remember and attacked instead.

With Bate's void on the brink of full corruption, what's going to happen now? Is there anywhere else they'll be able to go?

Hm...

There is...another dearly close to Bate who has yet to make an appearance. I wonder...where are they? Bate doesn't talk about it much, it's a deeply rooted memory. Oh...there are others, too?
