Plot
Four years after the events of "The Inquisition", Gumball (now 16 years old) and Darwin (now 14 years old) and their family and friends are ready to enjoy the rest of their lives because there's only two years left until every Elmore Junior High School student graduates. However, all of that changes when Anais (now 8 years old) had vision saying that she saw Rob predict about something happening in their world, which makes sense because the city of Elmore is being erased by the Void.
