Death's Rules

"You are the worst mother ever." That's the only feedback the World Master can say as Celestine grabbed him by the neck. "You will never defeat us." The battle devastates the place leaving a thousand burning trees, large piece of the world's crust and puddles of molten magma.

Celestine looks around the place as she gripped her son's throat tight. "Oh, boy. There will be a lot of cleaning to do." She sighed, remembering her mistake when she started creating her own kingdom and her knights. "You know. I totally regret it."

"Regret what?"

"I regret giving you boys the power of free will. Now I can't make you change your mind."

World Master grinned, "Ha! That sucks for you."

But the Celestine makes a more sinister look. "But when I get all of the pieces of my cube, you'll be sorry." She then threw him to the large burning tree. Celestine makes it more brutal. She creates a colossal dagger and then pierced it to her son's chest. The creature screamed, agonized by the pain. But it's not a fatal one. His mother just restricts him for ever getting up. "Now stay put. Mommy is going to work." She can detect her other sons nearby.

She sets her eyes on the Candy Kingdom and its dungeon. "There you are." By the power of the cube, she arrived at the Candy Kingdom in a blink. Celestine did not even move to get there. She made the world move. Such great power. No living can withstand it.

Once she arrived, the whole kingdom was quiet and empty like it was abandoned. Celestine was wondering where her new friends are. Last time she remembered, they will rendezvous at the Candy Kingdom once she gets out from the Nightosphere. "Bonny? Marceline? Where are you, guys?"

There was no answer. Just silence.

Feeling left alone, Celestine starts to think her new friends know what she's planning to do. She can't tell how they know but there is no doubt. The girl from beyond ignores it for now but do some important things first. She then submerged to the ground, phasing through it to get to the dungeons.

Inside in the sweet pink brick walls of the Candy Kingdom, the citizens of Ooo and the rest of the gang were hiding from the Beyonder. Bonny sighed as she saw Celestine leaving the surface. "That was a close one. Thanks for the info, Marcy."

The vampire girl replied, "Well, thanks to that guy over there." She points at the Fear Caster chained up on the wall by Marshall and the two Hunsons. "He has more information about this Celestine girl." The princess commands one of her banana guards to fetch her something. "Alright. I'm going to extract everything he knows and I make sure he suffers."

"Here it is, Princess Bubblegum." The banana guard returns with a device and then handed it to Bonny.

"What is that?" Gumball was curious about that strange device. "Is that a neuro-holographic amplifier?"

"No. It's a device that can store memories of the wearer and sends it to the computer."

"Wait. How do you know Bubblegum has that?" Marceline asked.

"I monitored my alternate versions during my spare time."

The prince asked, "What name is it?"

"What?"

"The device. What name?"

The princess grunts. "I don't name my devices." She puts it on the Fear Caster's bald and pale head and switched it on. The device lights up and then starts gathering images from the creature's brain.

"Why can't we attack her now, Bonny?" Ice King asked. "She's just one and we are many. We can take here down all at once."

"Did you forget what I told you? This girl from Beyond has the power to control reality. She can easily wipe you all out from existence. We can't just attack her like that. We should think of a plan to separate her and the cube."

"Great." Flame Princess said. "You gave the cube to a stranger that you think who can help us defeat these monsters. Thanks a lot, Bubblegum."

"It's not her fault. She did not know." Fionna defends the pink princess. "She just tricked her, that's all."

"Guys, we should think about what's going on right now." Flame Prince said. "We have a mad goddess who can enslave the five realms with a yellow cube and nine dark creatures who once challenge the Cosmic Gods and which happens to be this mad goddess' children. Now, you!" He points at Bonny. "What's the plan?"

"Get information from him." She turns to the Fear Caster.

"Okay. What's next?"

"When we get the Intel, I'll start formulating a plan to defeat this Beyonder."

"Then what are we supposed to do now?" Ice King asked.

Bonny simply answered to everyone. "We wait." She stares at the device on the Fear Caster's head, waiting for it to download all the most important memories.

Now the young hero Finn floats away between realities, still alive and well but unconscious after his struggle from the monster's tendrils and his loss of his arm. Not so long in the space between spaces, Finn drifts towards another world outside the multiverse.

He went to beyond. And he arrived safely to a place which is not Land of Ooo or Aaa.

It is not even Eee, Iii and Uuu.

It's a different land.

A different world.

A different realm.

"Hello." Finn heard this one word and then he opened his eyes. After his world went crazy, Finn wakes up on a white comfy bed feeling relaxed. He turns to the right and saw a window without any drapes just blinds hanging on top. Then he turns to the left, he saw a beautiful lady in a white lab coat. "Hello. How are you?" The lady smiled at him.

"Where... where am I?" He asked, his body was still tired and his right arm was numb. When he noticed the numbness, he remembers the time when he lost it. Finn sits up and turns to check his arm. Unexpected, it's still there attached to him but he can't move it. His left arm was still functional though. "Where am I? What happened to me? Who are you?"

"Calm down, Mister. This is a hospital. You are still recovering from your injuries, kid." She said, trying to calm the boy. "Please, stay down and rest. Your parents will be here shortly."

"Parents?" Finn cannot believe this. He wants to get out. He knows it's not his home world. It's not Land of Ooo. "I want to get out!"

The lady reaches a button to call other nurses to restrain him. In just seconds, two large men went inside the room and hold him down while two young ladies strapped him on the bed. "Please, kid. Calm down." One of the men said. When Finn looked at these people's eyes, he realized one thing about them.

They are all humans.

"That's impossible. I'm... I'm the last human in the world." The nurse picks up a syringe. "Why are there more? I thought I'm the last human in the world! Who are you people? WHO ARE YOU?"

They didn't listen. They just tied him up, forced him to lie down. He resists, he struggles. But the lady already injected him with some fluids, putting him to sleep. As his sight began to blur, he caught a glimpse of a suspicious man with a pair of round glimmering glasses standing outside the room, watching him.

"Who are you...?" Finn's eyes closed shut before he could get an answer.

Meanwhile at the center of the Multiverse in a place called the Time Room, Prismo the Wish Master and the other cosmic beings were all gathered to discuss about the return of the Men of All Things. The Party God begins. "Now that these creatures are out and terrorizing the Land of Ooo just like they did at Iii. We should do what we did the last time we fought them."

"No!" Prismo said. "We must think about this first. We don't just do it right away. Billions of lives were lost because of what we did. And look what happened. It didn't destroy them. It only weakened them."

Grob Gob Glob Grod asked, "So what do you suggest, Prismo?"

"Another way aside from that."

Then the Cosmic Owl interrupts. "My friends, we have a big problem. I heard the cries from Ooo. It is the vampire queen Marceline."

"What is it?" Prismo and the others remained silent and listened to the golden owl.

"She mentioned that there is someone more powerful than the Men of All Things."

"Who?" The Party God asked.

"It's their mother. She's the one who owns that cursed cube. And she came here to retrieve it to rule all realms."

"Oh, great. More problem." Party God said. "We must use it now before it's too late."

"And what? Sacrificing billions of innocent lives just to take down ten enemies?" Grob Gob Glob Grod responds to the floating furry head. "I disagree. That will be the stupidest move ever, Party God. We should find another way to face these guys."

"I have an idea." A fellow friend appeared behind them. It was Death himself who just got out from the fight on Mars. "There is no other choice but to break the rules of reality."

"Like what?" Grob Gob Glob Grod wonders what Death has in his mind. "What rules are you going to break?"

"Mine." Death answered as he swings his hand to create a portal. Numerous people came out from the cosmic portal, entering the Time Room. Few of these people were recognized by the Cosmic Gods. One of them was Abraham Lincoln.

"Hello, my dear friends. I have brought allies from the Afterlife." Behind him were millions of souls ready to fight. Old warriors of the past. Knights. Soldiers. And even those soldiers during World Wars and Civil War were all present. "We're ready for another fight." The late president has returned to join one last cosmic battle.
