Author's Note;

Smiles; Well I updated my solo fic ready to update this one?

Jester; You know it partner. Ok everyone we got news to tell you all before we go into the reviews and the story. So don't skip ahead this is stuff about how we'll be updating.

Smiles; Like I said in my solo fic Jester and I agreed on updating once a month. So this month we're updating Eternal, Blazing, and All Ghosts. So yea next month will be our two Fairly oddparents. Then our two newest fics which are Star Vs. and Ed, Edd n' Eddy. Then we rotate back to the start and see which will get updates or be on hold until next rotation. An yea it's a whole month waiting for a certain story. But would you rather us be tired and less idea filled if we constantly update randomly.

Jester; Really not a good idea to do that when you want to be consistent and fun. Again thank you all for understanding so lets get into the reviews. He23t oh the pain of betrayal has a lot of friends with things to come. Attackme damn I feel as if we're letting people down if people forget about our fic. So again sorry everyone and we do hope some still like our fic.

Smiles; Well that made me feel down. So yea just go ahead...

Grim's View

Sitting across from Mandy is Marceline. Still don't like dhe undead makes me job harder when it shouldn't. But some woman is with her I've heard a few souls talk about a thief with large horns like hers before. Me Pa was already here after he told me dhat me brother's were all awake. Pa says, "I can't believe this! I thought at least Dave would remain asleep after what became of him so long ago. But now that bastard has almost all your brothers. And also has been sniffing around for an Old One." Marceline asks "A what?" Mandy answers, "And Old is one of the few lasting species that predate humans. Think of them like the Spirits of OOO or the four elements that make up the world. They're really old and few of them remain. If the asshole that has my son is also looking for an Old One. Then something has him spooked." Pa asks, "What makes you say that dear girl?"

Mandy glares at him to say " Watch your tone with me you old bag of bones. And think carefully about what you just said. This Time Shifter has already given your last two sons hosts. He needs Finn and Grim to unlock the last seal and plunge the mortal plain into Armageddon. Which in turn will force the Under Worlds into the mortal plain. And ask yourself why does he need to wake up an Old One before he opens the seals? Simple answer he scared that he might lose his grasp on how things will shape with Finn. Finn has proven time and again that not being conventional has worked well for him. So now that he's calmer and not running around like a raging jackass. The Time Shifter is trying to force Finn to attack again with a bigger threat. Allowing him to capture Finn then unseal the locks of Armageddon."

Marceline asks "What happens what will cause Armageddon if the seals open?" I reply, "When dhe seals open Orgalorg dhe breaker of worlds will be brought forth. And destroy dhe world until no life is left and nothing will grow or breath on dhe planet." Marceline says, "Ok so we stop the seals from opening by keeping Finn back and kick the Shifters ass. Mandy what do you plan on doing to help get your son back?" Mandy takes a sip from her wine answering, "Nothing knowing my sons luck he'll get out one way or the other." I say "Woman you be cold as ice for not wanting to help our boy." Marceline simply glares at Mandy to say, "You really are a cold hearted bitch. You're not even going to help your son from his kidnappers? Or suggest anyone to go get him?"

Mandy answers, "It's a good lesson plus he might grow a spine compared to his father. And how goes your attempts to get your son and his cousin back. If from what I heard your attempts to mommy your son hasn't been going well either." Marceline clinches her fists looking ready to charge Mandy. I say, "Dhat hurts woman to both me and me boy." Mandy says "Get over it bone head last I checked we got married because you were after my soul. Not after my heart." Shaking me head I say, "I married you because I cared. But it seems being down here has turned dhat cold heart much darker. Dhen when you were a child." Pa says "Marriage counseling aside Marceline Grim can't go solid reason as you can guess. I'll see if I can at least send you a few bodies willing to do some damage for some cash. I'll also see if Aki is willing to talk about a deal if the worse happens."

Marceline says "Don't worry knowing the vampires they'll be itching for a fight after me being forcing down from the throne. I at least worry about the path my son is on even though I didn't pay close attention. I'll make up for it now and it'll show my son that I care for him. You should hope your son doesn't want to wring your neck when he gets back." Mandy says "It'll only force your son to think you think of him as his father. Always needing someone to guide him in the right direction. Think hard Marceline. Finn was tricked numerous times before. Like his memoir says 'he didn't have anyone holding his hand through his more fucked up moments.' He got over his flaws with a great deal of mental struggling. And a forced intervention from his teachers." I ask, "Woman you of all people have read Finn's memoir?"

Mandy answers "While you were talking with the old man there about going to Finn's anniversary party. I found a coffee shop that was selling a few copies. So I read it reminded me of how no hero is truly a saint. He's killed people in war, he's been addicted to drugs, allowed people to lock away his emotions cause he couldn't handle himself. And he's more then once questioned why and whom he was fighting for when he left for that long ass journey of his. Not to mention he couldn't come to grips with whom he was or wanted to be. Think what would have happened if Finn stayed away? OOO would be gone and he'd have been off nailing someone else after he killed that demon douche. Everyone in OOO at the time got really lucky he tested his powers like he did Marceline. Cause if he didn't OOO would just be another wasteland." Marceline stands then turns sharply growling the whole while as her friend goes after her. I ask, "Woman why must you be a bitch to everyone we know?" Mandy answers "The truth hurts she knows that better then anyone. Tell Charles to fetch Mini I want to talk to her now."

Scout's View

Why do we always get the short end of the stick? As Demo drives I look out from the side to see a group of hover choppers coming from over the tree line. I say "Ah gang I don't think we're in the all clear yet." Pointing my thumb over my shoulder to the choppers Pyro is the only one not paying attention. Demo trying to get her to stop messing with the radio. She stops when one of the bosses songs starts to play. Cranking the sound to max Gallant starts to laugh. Gallant laughs saying "I always wanted to fight with a theme song!" Soon the choppers get close enough for them to start shooting at us. Demo swirls with Medic doing the same in the other truck. Arch shouts over our earpieces "We can't let them cut us off. It's plenty dark but we can't stop." Medic says "But my dear if we stop and hid we can sneak past them." Arch says, "Not an option we need to meet up with the Specialist Elves. Gallant and I released them and others before we came for you. If we stop we'll miss them and the person sent to extract us."

Engineer asks "And how in Sam hill do they plan to do that? We're too far from the coast for pickup. And we'll get shot down by their air forces if we fly." Gallant says, "It's thanks to a new friend we made. He's a nervous lad but he's the best at moving without anyone catching him. Took us a while but with the help of Princess Brenda we tracked him down." I duck as a bolt passes through the door on my side. The bolt grazed my skirt fast enough to start a small fire near my leg. Making me franticly have to pat it out. I sight as I stop the fire to say, "Ok so now does anyone have any ideas on how to stop those assholes. And Pyro turn off the music!" She just ignores me and continues to drum her fingers in the air humming along to the song. Demo says, "I don't think she's listening lass." Spy asks, "Demo dear do you have any explosives left?" Demo answers "No lass I used the last ones blasting that antenna. Soldier do you have anymore rockets and remember to check all your pockets!" Another energy explosive hits the ground kicking up pieces of tree root and mud.

Soldier says, "I have checked all of them and can't find one. Oh wait here's one." Medic says to Sniper, "Remind me to give him a cat scan we get back to base. But for right now shoot one of them already dummkopf!" Soldier nods saying "Right on it right right." Soldier lines up the shot taking care to take into account for the jeeps swerving. Soldier shouts "Maggot!" As the rocket leaves his launchers barrel I smirks seeing the rocket split into three small ones in midflight. As the choppers take evasive actions one rocket misses completely while the other two lands solid hits. The chopper behind the lead one takes the hits causing the chopper to swerve and spin violently in the air. Spy shouts "Sorry to say dears but we still have four choppers after us!" As the music continues it soon stops flat making Pyro screams completely pissed. Demo and I look down seeing Pyro trying to get the music to work. But an energy bolt has gone through both the dashboard and the radio. Pyro growls clinches both her hands to turn and kick open her door. Demo shouts "LASS!" Both of us reach out grabbing onto Pyro's arm. But Pyro slaps away our hands as the jeep swerves to avoid a tree.

Pyro with one foot still in the truck and the other resting onto the open door. Pyro starts to mess with her flamethrowers valve gauges. Pyro did the one thing she normally left for extreme measures. Overclocking her weapon pressure gauges causing the flamethrower to launch a thirty-foot stream of super molten slag. The Unics flying the lead took the hit to soon find in horror that the flames are melting into the chopper causing wire damage. And making them lose control. Forced to land hard the pilot warns the others pilots of Pyro's molten flames over the radio we stole. Spy says "Good now they know to stay back." The choppers back off and start to bombard us from a distance. Pyro gets back into the cabin of the truck in a huff. She looks back at the destroyed radio to cross her arms annoyed that she lost out on listening the boss's song. I pat her arm to say, "Don't worry Pyro I'm sure the elves have a radio." As I chuckled Demo swerves again making me brush into heavy. I ask, "Hey big guy you got any ammo left?" Heavy answers "Nope." Rubbing I chin I ask, "You got anything heavy to throw?"

Heavy answers "Nope." Groaning I rub my eyes to ask "Do you have a sandwich left?" Heavy laughs to say "Yes... oh wait nope." I groan to say "Ugh just great I get to die on a empty stomach too." As the assholes behind us continue to shoot at us with rockets. I grab onto Heavy's arm screaming as I see a cliff up a head. Arch shouts, "Speed up everyone!" I stammer "Buuubbb But we'll die!" Gallant chuckles to say "Don't worry love we'll be fine." As Demo and Medic speeds up I gulp to think 'We're seriously going to fucking die!' But to my shock several glowing arrows scream into the air from the cliff. As the cliff vanishes into a large mist more arrows hit the choppers. Arch says "Ok slow down now." As our speed slows down the choppers get hit with more arrows and to my shock the mist is just an illusion created by the Elves. After the choppers start to back off or crash we pull alongside the Elves illusion. They were using snow covered rocks and fallen trees to pull off the trick.

With the Jeeps stopping I get out and kiss the ground. The specialists start to chuckle as I get up sighing in relief. And wiping snow from my chin. I say, "Holy crap boys are we glad to see you. We kind of ran out of ammo and well thanks for saving our butts." Specialist Cole says, "Not to worry but Gallant Arch how are we to..." Arch raises a finger to press a button on her wristwatch. In a boom like rippling flash a guy with some off blue hair and a suit that makes him look like a waiter appears. The snow around his feet flutters to settles back onto the ground. Guy shakes a little to ask, "Is this everyone Arch?" Arch nods answering "Lets get out of here Johnny before we get noticed." Johnny says "Every hold on and don't breath until we reach because you might get very sick." The guy wasn't lying because once he started moving us to a clear spot I wanted to puke as we finally stop. Demo shouts, "Uuugh someone get me something to drink I need to get the puke taste out of my mouth!"

Third person's View

Finn is all but completely bored he could feel it however. The faint hidden flame inside of his son calling to him. While all his other kids were all hidden away at his father's manor he could still feel them all too. Finn still wanted to confront his son over the lies he's been feed. As well as how Lady Sunic has been keeping a grasp over his sons mind. Milly had called Finn an hour ago telling him that Wolf wasn't there with her and Meryl. Finn's best guess as of where he was at this point was trying to figure out the deal with his son too. Fox was always a sharp one when it came to hitting anything with anything from what the family has told them. But as of yet Fox's motive against Wolf wasn't as foreword as Connor. Cracking his neck Finn inhales and exhales rubbing his hand across the body of Yoru. Finn's skill with the dark blades still not on pair with the former wielder of the blade. In the training grounds Finn was able to split several feet of the ground. But Yoru's former wielder was said to split mountains with one smooth swing.

Wolf upgraded the two old guns he got from the graveyard of weapons. Finn still has of yet to see what they can do either. The graveyard of the heavens is still an endless domed off area of weapons belonging to fallen warriors. Warriors who accomplished great feats yet time hardly remembers them. Will that happen to him too? Will Finn's great descendent or so forth even know of his full story? Or will they too only now his name and fragments of his achievements? Will they know him as a kind hero or a hardened warrior that couldn't help his family even after returning from the dead? Finn exhales to say "Is that it really... we live, love, and die. What do we really pass on to those we love and cherish..." Finn feels sad both for his own thoughts, those weapons, and what else the future has for them all. But still those weapons sing softly their own sad tales. Never getting to rest with their owners. And now waste their lives in a limbo like state. Finns hand wandered up to his crown or halo as he's been told to call it. Finn taking his pipe from within his jacket adds both weed and nightroot. Snapping his fingers he lights the opening and begins to drag a few puffs from the pipe.

To Finn's mild surprise the flames from his pipe ignite into a large plum of fire. Soon Dane manifests from the fire. Dane asks with slight aggravation "What are you doing? Do you know how worried you've made my wife and Francine when they stopped by to talk to you?" Finn exhales a mouthful of smoke to start wiping the smudges off his pipe. Finn answers "Sorry needed to see how my final nail in Sunic and Deadmau's coffin was coming. Plus I needed to think so I walked here." Dane asks "What are you planning Finn?" Finn still wearing a blank face answers "Deadmau needs me so he wants me to come. It's why he has Connor and Fox so close to fighting in the front. But I also need to figure out how to severe their control over our kids and the Meta beings." Dane says, "I was wondering about that as well. From how slowly Connor went from an out going and excited child like Joey is. To a hardened and almost cold person to everyone wasn't an overnight event. But I noticed it one day when I offered to spare with him. He ignored me and walked off his eyes were hard and on edge."

Finn says "The book Brook told me he was often reading has a Locktrap spell on it. Often they give a person casting it mild control over a weak minded person. But the spell doesn't explain the change." Dane says "Maybe its what led him to Sunic like she whispered to him a command? Using it as a conduit to slowly drag out Connor's insecurities about well not being like you. Or not living up to the rest of our family he's the only one that is full human Finn." Finn sighed looking at his swords. Finn says, "I didn't want them to grow up to be like me, their moms, or their grandparents... I wanted them to be them to grow into who they wanted to be. Plus I wanted to be the relaxed dad. So when they had a problem I could just smile when they got embarrassed about talking to me."

Dane sighs to say, "We can't all be there for our kids. I've made my mistakes and you couldn't really help your mistake. You were the hero the world needed to stop another catastrophe. I was an ass of a king whose lucky anyone of my servants will talk to me. Let alone not want to kick me in the leg every time I walk past them. But Finn you've made friends and you know that all the leaders of UOK, Colony, and the Empire are aware of your plight. And know that by the end of this war that you won't want to take up fighting for a while." Finn exhales a puff his freshly packed pipe to say "I'm tired Dane... I've fought till I was killed, I've fought to return to life, and now I'm fighting to keep my family and the world from falling apart again. When this is over I'm going to sleep for a week. Tell everyone I'm ok and I'm just... thinking..." Dane nods using Finn's pipe once more to leave. Much to Finn's annoyance at having to clean and change the pipes contains again.

In the nights moist air the only cool thing about being in the armored body of the assault troop carrier boats. The Garnet Gates had been captured and the controls now secured to stay open for the troops landing. But now as the salt water air slips in through the slit windows on the sides of the carrier boats. The water elementals, one moving and one controlling the boat, continue to check and monitor the waters. The joint troops wait as the water elementals push the boat forward from their control seats. Water elementals shouts "All troops check ammo slides make sure your locking actions are shut before you exit. The seawater will short out the inner workings for your guns if they are open and venting. Be quick and clear the beach so the armor can land and help push the enemy back. Good luck everyone I'll see you back on the ships with drinks waiting." Some of the troops give nervous nods. All had never guessed that war would have come. But when President Merten told the world news about the situation they were facing.

Reserve troops were quickly told to report for action from both Colony and UOK to aid the Elves. In retaking their home and stopping chaos from spilling into the world. Some who signed up without having more then basic knowledge of weapons practice simply because Finn was fighting. But with the whispers from some of Finn's kids working with the enemy it made the troops scared. Hearing the first pings and energized pops going off against the boats armor. A private grips her rifle gulping nervously as more pops go off. The once moist air now stinging the troops nostrils as the energy bolts heat and cool the boats armor plates rapidly. As the landing boats make their approach close behind them are the armor carrier boats. Each one of these boats carrying a tank, APC, combat jeep, or jumper jacket bike. The bikes are for the messengers and fast flankers. From the cliff side overlooking the gates Connor and Wolf wait. Connor turns to a Unic to say, "Wait five minutes for the destroyers to get closer. Then send me a Meta being along with five squads to receive my direct orders. Wolf and myself will strike at the command ship with the main eight squads when the moment is right."

The Unics laying in wait pass the message on to the Meta beings. In all the twelve Meta being present wanted to be with the rest of their kind inland. But as they have seen violence is the only form of work they can get and the pay is pretty good too. But now officially part of war this wasn't what they wanted when they agreed to protection and work opportunities. Onboard a silenced hover copter Vadale and her allies make progress to their missions. The copter has to stay only for stories off the ground as they flank around. As the teams feel the turn of the choppers Vadale shakes her head as one team member offer hers seaweed to chew. Vadale checks her heavy blaster vents to look over her team. Sure they've been in mock battles. But it's never been as tense as this or this real.

CO looks over his team to say "Three minutes stay quiet and be ready we have enemies in the area." With confirming nods the teams wait for landing. Stix looks at the trooper with the chew to say "Hey man you know that stuff will get stuck between your teeth for a week right?" Corporal chuckles to say, "Yeah I know but the stuff will make you a sexual monster just like me." As the teams laugh one of the vampires shake her head. Vampire says "You want to be a sexual beast in bed last one night with a vampire hungry for blood. King Finn does it all the time from what Lady Lupro and Lady Liliana would gossip about. If King Finn could live through that kind of pleasure with our dear queen you'd be able to live through anything sexually." And began their final push to the touch down point.

Pilot says "ETA one minute. Beach landing teams have been meet with counter forces. We need the skies to be available for the Fireflies and gun birds." CO of thirteen five says, "All signs sound off we're going dark last radio bleep before touch down." As the three teams do mic and speaker checks Stix is told his radio is giving off a mild feed back. Bashing the side of his helmet to the choppers bulkhead the CO says its all green now. To Vadale and her teams eye the two vampire troopers as they became really quiet. Vadale signals one of the troopers to ask "Hey I heard Marceline the vampire queen was dethroned... What happened?" The female trooper growls while the male places a hand on her shoulder. Male vampire answers, "Our dear queen was robed of her title because of one of the bastards this Shifter freed. Our former queens father told us he is an old being that is twisted and insane... He will pay and we will avenge our queens pain and our queens fallen mother." Vadale nods seeing the anger even behind his still face. Stix smirks to ask, "Hey anyone got any gum?"

Copilot says "Ten seconds to touch down we got movement to the direction you need to be Sergeant. Be advised too the landing teams need support and some of the armor is being held back by their batteries." Vadale's CO says "All signs once we land move to your targets fast. Shore teams are being hammered and we need to do our jobs fast. Explosives be ready on those timers I don't need any duds on this op. Rifles at the ready I want everyone of you aiming to kill." Pilot shouts, "Hovering go, go, go!" With that all three teams reach their points and drop down from their choppers by rope line. As each one lands they check their flanks and move to positions of cover. With the CO's landing last they wave off the choppers and they move back to the ships. Fourteen twenty CO says, "All signs last radio contact set beepers to show friendlies. Be advised enemies will be prepared for counter offensive." Vadale CO says "Advised Fourteen twenty good hunting all."

Vadale CO turns to the vampires asks "Troopers can you check our forward and tell us what to expect?" The two vampires nod dawning their sleek black goggled masks. Both with their light battle armor moving as if they were floating over the gravel hills. To with ease sink into the shadows as they continue to move. You could faintly make them out from the shadows two large black blobs. Ten fifteen stops on the signal from their CO. Signaling them with his hands each breaks off into pairs but staying close to see further orders. After several hard seconds the vampires return both of their faces hidden behind the airtight masks. Female trooper says "We've got a problem they've entrenched the forward area with claymores. We'll be able to move forward from here. But for you to make it to the targets you'll need to circle along the cliff's edge. But you'll be in the open and anyone watching there will see you." CO groans to ask "What about the others anything they should worry about?" Male trooper answers, "They've already pushed into the small caves. That are under the outer streets of the town going to their targets. With any luck they'll be arriving as expected."

Stix asks, "Sir what if we're spotted?" Female trooper replies "Then we will be ready don't worry we vampires are faster in the dark." Another private says, "I like this plan and I'm excited to be apart of it." CO nods to say "Alright we've got ten minutes to hit those targets before they do too much damage on our landing troops. And from those explosions our boys and girls needed their air support the minute we touch these hills. Move forward squad and if spotted down stop shooting." As the troopers fade back into the darkness Vadale and the others continue onward. On the landing the main force were in full march. The Unics knew that the combined force wasn't going to be pushovers. They didn't know that the combined force had some serious protection with them. Given to them courtesy of the GG Institute Engineering division the forward troops are carrying specialized riot shields. The shield are made from a five layer wire weaved plastic and plexy blend. So even though one layer shatters another is still ready for more punishment. As the heavy turrets take potshots at the shields they reveal their positions clearly for the teams to mark for heavy armor strikes.

But with little armor getting forward and into cover the Unics artillery is punching a lot of holes in the advancing forces. Overlooking the battle is Connor and Fox both are waiting for the last of the landing boats to hit the beaches. Fox says "Last ten boats making their approached. Should we hit them now?" Connor looks to the large Meta being with the gas mask and gray as ash skin. Connor orders, "Aim for the left gate column make it land on the main destroyer. Then with your remaining energy force the other ships to back off." The large Meta being nods as he begins to groan and cough. Slowly his body morphs and twists and his torso and arms grow. Expanding his already ripped shirt as veins and muscle show through. His hands becoming tube like as his energy emanates from inside his arms. The Meta being starts to cough then aims his hands as his coughing continues. Both his palms slowly split open into a five sections. With a loud cough a long vapor like pulse launches from the Meta's palms hitting the gate left column. Firing more of the vapor the column melts as the gas eats away at the gates materials. Soon the gate column gives and the destroy can't move fast enough for the impact.

As the column hits crew and approaching pilots and crewmembers of other ships are in shock. As the water settles from the impact the lead destroy is now dead in the water. And to the Joint forces horror the Unics are attacking from the sea too. Smaller boats are hitting their returning boats. Along with boarding teams trying to force their way onto the light carriers. Connor says, "The fire of war dad, you said so yourself 'No one has escaped a war in peace.'" Connor turns to Fox ordering "Send a few of the Meta's down to help retake the beach. The rest will go to deal with the destroys and its crews." Fox turns to the Meta's to ask "Alright anyone volunteering to get a little wet?" As Fox sorts things out the destroy is sending a distress call back to Colony and UOK about the situation. President Merten's shakes his head and looks to the Reapers and the commanding staff for options. One commander says "Sir we need to send in the Brotherhood. Their Power armor can keep the ships from being taken and the Rangers can help preform an offensive along the beach flanks to support the troops." President Merten nods still worried out of his mind about what his son has planned. Finn deep in mediating feels the conflict from his sons mind. One part telling him if his choices will end him or if he has already lost everything...
