(Several Hours Earlier)

Stanford and Stanley Pines dock the Stan o' War II near a beach, exit the boat, Stan stretches his arms, and legs inhaling and exhaling the fresh air, Ford carefully gets off the boat while holding a jar containing a scurrying arachnid creature hissing at the two brothers, crawling around its glass prison trying to escape. "He's a feisty little fella isn't he?" Stan says looking closely at the creature to which it hisses and tries to spit a green slime at him. "It is very aggressive, yes" Ford replies. "It may be trapped but I would suggest not provoking it until we know what else it does."

"Do whatever helps you sleep at night Poindexter." Stan answers sarcastically. The two brothers laugh together. Ford pulls out a small map of the area. "There's an abandoned hotel not far from here, a good place to study this one, some good dinners nearby, what do you say Sta…" Ford turns to see his brother frozen in place. "Stanley." Ford places the jar on the ground and heads over to his brother. "Stanley what's wrong?" Ford asks not getting a response from his brother, Ford looks around and sees that everything around him, frozen in place, people, seagulls, cars, as well as the waves from the ocean. "What's going?" Ford worriedly asks himself. "No need to be alarmed." An unknown voice states, "I just stopped the flow of time in this universe."

"Who said that?" Ford shouts reaching into his overcoat. "There is no need to draw your weapon Stanford Pines, I just need to borrow you for a couple of minutes you'll be back here before you even know what hit you."

"What are you talking ab…" Before Ford could finish his question, he blacks out from a blinding white light.

"SKIPS!" Mortdecai and Rigby scream as they are running from something in fear. Skips walks out of his house as he sees the two of them run to the yeti. "Skips, we need your help." Rigby says with panic in his tone. "What did you two do this time?" Skips asks annoyed. Before they could answer, they hear a roar in the distance as a house sized demonic monster with black flames surrounding its body begins approaching them. "Inside the house now," Skips orders as the three of them enter the house, Skips head over to his bead and pulls a box full of books from underneath, Skips brings the box over to Mortdecai and Rigby. "Alright you two, help me search." Skips orders; "We're looking for a white book with a black pentagram." The three of them start searching for the book as they hear the monster getting closer. "I found it!" Mortdecai shouts quickly as he runs over handing the book over to Skips. Skips flips through each of the books pages. "Found it. I need some holy water and chalk, now!"

"Where are they?" Mortdecai asks. "I keep them in the back, now come on." The three of them rush to the back of the room, as the creature gets closer; they successfully find the chalk and holy water. Skips starts drawing a circle on the ground with the chalk and dribbles it with the holy water, just as Skips finishes, the monster rips the roof off Skip's house, Mortdecai and Rigby scream as Skips slams his palm in the center of the circle causing it to glow white and shoot an energy blast at the monster. Skips stands up and exhales. "Okay, you guys can stop screaming n…" Skips turns around to see Mortdecai and Rigby frozen in place. "Oh what now," Skips asks annoyed. "Sorry, but I need to speak with for a second." An unknown voice says to Skips before a blinding white light knocks him out.

Peridot uses her magnetic powers to lift a large slab of iron into the air. "Ready Lapis," Peridot asks as her, Lapis closes her eyes using her hydrokinesis to summon water a large amount of water shaping it into a chisel. "Hold it steady Peridot!" Lapis says as she thrusts her arms forward causing the large water tool to pierce through the iron and cut out a square, a triangle and a circle from it, Lapis then uses her water chisel to cut small holes into the three cutouts, before she Lapis splashes the water onto the ground. "Okay I think they're ready!" Lapis shouts, Peridot uses her powers to merge the three shapes together into a flower like sculpture, she molds the reaming iron into a pole and places the metal flower on top then sticks the creation into the ground. "Tada, once again, another successful meep-morp has been made by Lapis Lazuli and Peridot."

"What should we call it?" Lapis asks. "How about, Hydro… Iron… Flower," Peridot suggests. "Anyway the point is; it represents what we can accomplish together."

"Yes indeed." Peridot and Lapis turn upon hearing the unknown voice. "And it will of great assistance." Lapis and Peridot fall unconscious by a blinding white light.

Tom is in his room with a personal trainer. "Okay Thomas, focus your emotions into the palm of your hand, grasp it like a ball and then throw it at the targets." Tom takes a deep breath and sticks his arm out, slowly inhaling and exhaling, focusing his emotions into the palm of his hand and is able to create a fireball, Tom pitches the ball of fire at the target but it disperses before it could hit it. Tom grunts. "I can just burn the target to dust like a flamethrower! Why do I have to practice throwing fireballs for?"

"Restraint, if you attack with blazing fury, chances are high that you'll unintentionally hurt someone." The trainer responds. "Showing some restraint with your attacks, will ensure that you can hit your enemy, and not your friends, as well as not tire you out as quickly. How about this, try it again but imagine the target as someone kissing Star." Tom looks at the target again and imagines what his trainer told him, he summons a ball of fire into his hand and with an even stronger pitch than before; the fireball hits the target setting it ablaze. Tom raises hands in excitement. "I did it! I showed that target whose boss!" Tom turns to his trainer only to see him frozen in place. "What the…"

"Sorry, but I need your undivided attention." A mysterious voice says to Tom before a blinding white light knocks him out.

Finn, Jake, and Marceline are searching through a cemetery all of them ready for a fight. "Alright, the incubi should be nearby," Marceline states. "What's an incubus again?" Finn asks with his grass sword ready. "An incubus is a creature from the Nightosphere." Marceline answers. "It has the power to raise undead warriors to fight for it and it usually hangs around cemeteries."

"How will we know when we're near it?" Jakes asks. "It will summon up some skeleton warriors and have they try to murder us." Marceline answers, then a skeletal arm shoots out of the ground and an undead warrior crawls out. "Just like that," The three of them charge at the skeleton and Marceline destroys it with the swing of her axe-guitar. More skeletons begin to rise from the ground and the three of them charge, Finn slices them up with his sword, Jake uses his shapeshifting to punch them and Marceline changes into her bat-monster form and smashes them, after destroying a dozen skeletons the three of them finally find the incubi. "Alright we found it." Finn says staring at the creature. "Now how do we get rid of it?"

"Incubi hate loud sounds." Marceline states pulling out her guitar, "I got this." Marceline begins playing her guitar, quickly picking the strings with her fingers creating a sound so loud that Finn and Jake have to cover their ears and causes the incubi to implode, sending back to the Nightosphere. "Well that takes care of that," Marceline states. "Mathematical!" Finn shouts as he and Jake cheer, Marceline chuckles to herself but then notices Finn and Jake frozen in place. "Finn, Jake."

"Don't worry I'll bring you back in a second." A voice says to Marceline before a blinding white light knocks her out.

Stanford wakes up in a blue room surrounded by five others who are waking up. "Where are we?" Stanford asks looking around the room. "You're not the only one thinking that." Marceline says rubbing her forehead, Ford walks over to her offering her a hand up, which she take. "Your hands are freezing, are you all right?" Ford asks. "Oh, don't worry about that's normal with vampires."

"You're a vampire!" Ford exclaims. "Yeah," Marceline answers. "What you never seen a vampire before?"

"No, I've seen vampires before, but the ones I've met didn't look like punk rockers." Ford answers. "Tell that to Hollywood." Peridot answers as she and Lapis get off the ground rubbing their foreheads; Stanford walks over to Peridot examining her. "Is that a Peridot gemstone in your head?"

"Yes, I'm a Peridot." Peridot answers. "And this here is Lapis." She says pointing behind her. "Sup." Lapis responds. "This is weird, even for me." Skips says walking over to Ford, before Ford could ask the yeti a question Tom screams in anger. "What the heck is going on?"

"Calm down hot-head." Lapis says sarcastically. "Were all in the same boat as you, so put away the fire, and lets find out where we are." Before any of them could ask any questions, a bright ball of blue energy flies into the middle of them, "I know all of you have questions." The ball of energy states, "I'm here to explain what is going on. They call me the traveler."
