Fusion is the eighth episode in the Pixel series T.V. show.

PLOT
The episode begins with a reused scene from Lines in the Sand with the destruction of the warehouse, as Ninja Pixel attempts to get into the hatch. Circuit Breaker, however, grabs him and pulls him into the soda (previously thought to be Ninja Pixel being too slow), and as chunks of wood, bricks and cement plummet onto them, Ninja Pixel is used as a shield, alongside Elexus. Elexus is enraged at the death of Axis, but after being used as a shield, she last-second saves Ninja Pixel by grabbing him away from Circuit Breaker and tossing him to the hatch. Ninja Pixel is safe inside as the warehouse collapses above him, and the tubes start to collapse above him. The tubes dent, as Ninja Pixel crawls out to the exit, where a piece of debris crushes the escape slide. Ninja Pixel makes a daring jump to the escape slide, and only makes it because his suit gets caught on the jagged edges. With a now slightly torn suit, Ninja Pixel slides down the rest of the escape slide, and lands in the desert.

After walking for many hours, he stumbles across Graviton, who is knocked out. Ninja Pixel drags him in an attempt to get to 8-BIT city, but miserably fails due to exhaustion. Ninja Pixel then encounters Circuit Breaker, who is on their way to the Virus Castle, and they engage in a fight. Both are exhausted and presumed dead, but Circuit Breaker makes a cage out of additional arms, and closes them in on Ninja Pixel, suffocating him. With Graviton hidden behind a rock, Circuit Breaker spawns a sword arm and repeatedly stabs Ninja Pixel, ensuring his death. Without seeing Graviton, Circuit Breaker leaves.

After the fight, Graviton wakes up (with the memories of Ninja Pixel*)and sees Ninja Pixel dead on the sand. A blue/black liquid** comes out of Graviton and sends itself into Ninja Pixel, whose blood is absorbed back into his body. Ninja Pixel, knowing what Circuit Breaker is trying to do instructs Graviton to wait behind the rocks, and the two sit there for when the attack comes.

In a mid credits scene When Spike Pixel asks how Ninja Pixel survived (archive footage), Ninja Pixel's eyes glow blue.

In a post credits scene, Naalc is holding their wounded arm, and they spawn another arm to impale Shaman (for being completely useless and annoying). he states that he needs Rexla back, just "without the flaws the previous one had". He then takes his hand off his arm, revealing a blue spot (where pixel struck him), filled with white binary code.

Creator Notes
* We're still not sure exactly what Graviton is. He's probably a pixel, but I'm still not sure due to qualities other pixels lack**. Anyways, the line I put for the plot section can be very confusing, so that's why this is here. Essentially, when Graviton is asleep, he can't do anything but can still make memories. It's not like Finn and Fern from Adventure time where they have the same memories until there is a split, but rather Graviton is aware of Ninja Pixel's existence, and knows of what Ninja Pixel did to keep him alive.

** There are many concepts for Graviton, none of which I'll consider scrapped yet. The one we built on most, but one I don't think will happen is that Graviton is a codebreaker spy. Codebreakers are translucent white and one color, and have a dome-like shape to them. They travel through worlds to make sure that everything is going okay, but they are endangered and on the brink of being discovered. Another idea is that Graviton is a mutated pixel,which was meant to be the crest of a supersoldier. Another one was that Graviton was just a pixel. That one I don't like, but if they are a pixel, then they definitely won't be a natural, unmodified pixel.
