Chapter 14: The Clouds Pass
As the reincarnated Rainbow Queen and her Honor Guard sank to the ground in despair, Aku prepared the final burst of hellfire. Although their attack had visibly wounded him, it wasn't enough to finish him, and they just didn't have the energy to attack again.
Suddenly, however, The Demon stopped. A sound was filling the air, a harsh whirring sound, like metal being dragged across Piano Wire. An expression of shocked joy spread across Kuki's face, The Blue Box The Doctor had told her about was materializing!
Once the box had fully appeared, The Doctor stepped out. He gave a little wave to Kuki, then faced Aku "Well look at you, you big cranky demonic... thing." The Doctor spoke jovially. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the Time Lock, huh?"
"And just who are you, impudent mortal?" Aku asked with a bored look on his face.
"Most folks like to call me The Doctor. I'm a Time Lord." That got Aku's attention, causing surprise, anger, and even a bit of fear to cross his face. "And I'm the man who's gonna give you one last chance. Take your beasties, go back behind the Time Lock, and never return."
The concerned expression left Aku's face, and he roared with his terrible, cruel laughter. "It took the combined streangth of all of Gallifrey to seal me last time, Doctor. You are but one."
The Doctor just kinda nodded his head in agreement. "You're right, you know. I don't have the streangth of the Time Lords behind me." He stated as the doors of the T.A.R.D.I.S. swung open. "But I've got the next best thing! A hyper-active thirteen year old with a sword!" He exclaimed "Now Finn!"
Suddenly, a boy wearing a white shirt, little blue shorts, and a white, two pointed hat lept our of the T.A.R.D.I.S., shrieking a war cry with a sword in his hands. He flew though the air, then executed a downward slash once he was close enough. The blade cut through Aku's solid black form, creating a tear, through which the Macabra Skull could be seen, still glowing with evil.
Aku's body shifted, becoming snake-like, so he could bend over to examine the injury, which was slowing closing up on its own. "You fight like the Samurai!" Aku exclaimed, then grinned cruelly. "I will enjoy destroying you!" The Demon then unleashed a wave of green fire towards Finn, who jumped over the flames and sliced at the demon, but cut only air, for Aku had shape-shifted into a bird!
"Stand and fight me, you coward!" Finn challenged.
"As you wish!" Aku replied before shifting into a giant orc with a battle axe. Finn was able to block the bludgeoning weapon with his sword, deadlocking the two. "You cannot defeat pure evil!" The Demon exclaimed before shifting into a scorpion the size of a sheep, stabbing his stinger forward into Finn's exposed stomach.
Despite the agonizing sting, Finn continued to fight, lopping of Aku's stinger with his blade, causing the Demon to change into a normal size snake and slither back. "I can slay anything evil, for I am a HEROOOOOO!" He rebuttled while jumping forward and stabbing at the ground, trying to hit Aku's slippery snake form.
Aku responded by incresing the size of his snake form, until he towered over the tiny human. He also unleashed a burst of fire from his fanged mouth. Rather then trying to avoid this, however, Finn jumped straight through the flames, earning several burns, but also allowing him to score several swipes of his sword against Aku's underbelly.
Changing next into a great stone golem, Aku threw Finn across the room with a single mighty punch, his fists now larger then Finn's whole body. The hero smashed through a glass case, leaving his body riddled with the sharp shards. "Ugh, this guy's tough. Doc, got any ideas?" Finn asked.
The Doctor, a distressed look on his face, thought hard and quick, while Aku had shifted back to his regular form, though he was only a little taller then a full grown human. Suddenly, he put it together. "The Skull!" he yelled out.
Finn understood immediately. Jumping out of the ruined display, he landed before Aku, and with a mighty heave, threw his sword straight ahead. Acting on instinct, Aku opened a hole in the center of his body, through which the sword flew through harmlessly.
"Pathetic. Pathetic and stupid." Aku stated.
"Who says I was trying to hit you?" Finn responded, just in time for Aku to realize what was behind him.
The Macabra Skull.
The flying sword slammed into the object of evil tip first, causing it to shatter apart. The Earth began to shake as a portal appeared, sucking Aku back into the Time Lock, his only link to this realm broken.
All across the world, his monsters' were suffering similar fates. In the Gulf of Mexico, Cthulhu tried desperatly to stay above the waves, but Aang and Katara combined their waterbending to push him down into the depths, back into the portal. In the slavic mountins, Chernabog clung desperatly to the peaks, trying to avoid being sucked back down through the mountin, as NATO jet fighters blasted him with rockets and bombs. At the Great Salt Lake, The Lich King tried to gather the power for one final attack as he drowned within his own slime. Ness, Paula, and Poo had exhausted their PSI, and were unable to stop him. Just as the Lich was about to level everything within a 300-mile radius, a rocket ripped through the air and detonated against his skull, forcing the evil entity back into the filth. The three turned around to see that it was Jeff who fired the finishing blow, with his Super Bazooka. In the starless night sky, a lone Reaper managed to engage an Emergency Temporal Shift as his brothers were either ripped apart by lasers or sucked away into the Time Lock.
Back at Miracle City, Aku's right hand is glowing brighter and brighter with green fire, as Finn stands exhausted before him. "The link is broken! Back into the Time Lock, Aku! Back into HELL!" He screamed defiently.
"You will die with me, Finn the Human!" Aku raged, pointing his palm towards Finn, about to unleash the flames.
Finn thought of everyone he knows from the Land of Ooo. Jake, Marceline, Princess Bubblegum. The Doctor had explained the threat Aku posed, and Finn knew and accepted that by dying here, he'd save all of them. He silently said goodbye, then, defient to the end, stated, "I know."
Moments before the flames began, however, a voice was heard, the last voice anyone expected to hear.
"Get out of mah way!"
It was Cartman! A look of rage on his face, electricity crackling across his body. Finn quickly stepped to the side as the enraged child unleashed a stream of lightning, striking Aku dead center, dissipitating the flames and racking his body with convulsions.
"You did this to meh! All of my life!" Cartman shrieked, then threw another stream of lightning from his other hand, taking a step foward. "YOU MADE ME!"
"ONE!" Another strike, another step foward.
"TWO!" His body began to have brief moments of translucense, flashes of his skeleton.
"THREE!" The force of the boy's hate fueled lightning had Aku clinging to the edge of the vortex.
"FOOOOOUUUUURRRRRR!" The built up electricity suddenly exploded in a dazzling burst of light, blinding everyone present.
Up in the sky, the last of the Reapers were vanquished as the swirling red face of Giygas vanished into oblivion, replaced by a bright and beautiful Sun, its glorius rays piercing the darkness and restoring day to a ravaged, wounded planet Earth. The Nightmares faded and the War Machines shut down, and the people of Earth let out a cheer.
The War was over.
A/N: And so it ends. The next and hopefully last chapter will be an epilouge, showing what happens to all the characters. I'm not really sure if there will be a sequel, for two reasons. One, I have no idea how I'm going to top myself, and Two, it seems like people weren't really that interested in this. Two people consistantly reviewed for the entire story. If enough of you respond now, I'll reconsider it, but I seriously have no idea how interested my auidence is or how I will top this. Tell me what you think.
