When the light faded, they were back in the dust filled basement of the arcade and they all let the events of the last hour sink in.
Sam and Quorra were running out the door and up the stairs when Finn, Jake, and PB reentered reality.
"Free at last, thank God almighty we're free at last." Sam said as he chased Quorra out the front door of the arcade.
As Sam and Quorra made it out side, their joy and elation turned to shock and confusion as they saw their entire group being surrounded by the banana guards.
"HALT who are you and how did you get here!" One of the banana guards barked.
"Banana guards STOP!" PB shouted as she reached the door and took a breath. "These humans are non-hostile, disengage and resume your posts."
"Yes Princess." The banana guards said obediently in unison and retreated back to continue with what they had been doing before.
"Wow you weren't kidding about living candy." Sam said to PB.
"You're more than welcome to come to the candy kingdom, I'd love to learn more about what the world was like before the war and how that machine in there works." PB said.
"That will have to wait for another day." Alan said as he pushed himself through the crowd of people towards Sam and PB.
"For right now, I think we'd all like to take you up on the first part of your offer, seeing as from the looks of things, most any structures that existed before aren't around anymore." Alan continued.
"Quite right, allow me to provide the quickest route between A and B." PB said as she pulled a large device from her pocket.
PB placed the device on the ground and pushed a button on it before backing away and watching it expand into a gateway.
"Everyone through, it only lasts a minute." PB said as she walked through the gateway and vanished.
"No modern anything for miles, and she has a teleporter in her pocket." Alan said with an incredibly large amount of suspicion and small hints of amazement.
"Come on guys everyone through, it's a three hour walk back to the Candy Kingdom without this thing." Finn said as Jake and him walked through.
Finn and Jake walked through the gateway and out into a large domed room, followed quickly by many humans.
"Everyone follow me." PB announced as the last few humans arrived and the gateway turned off.
Everyone followed PB up the stairs and through many corridors until they were in the main hall of the castle. PB took the time to help the many people find appropriate accommodations around the city and give the people that requested it, a group tour.
After several hours of this, PB was exhausted and the humans, for the most part, had settled into their temporary accommodations. She collapsed into her favorite chair in her lab, her mind so cluttered and tired, it took her many minutes to notice that Finn, Sam, Quorra, and Alan were messing with one of her white boards.
PB rose to her feet and drew closer to see what it was they were writing out. It captivated her when her tired brain began to understand what it was they were writing out. She cracked a smile.
"So nice of you to start writing out the specs for the machine. But…" PB kicked them all out of her lab and locked the door.
"Stay the hell out of my lab without my permission okay? See you all tomorrow because I need some sleep."
