Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

A few days after Flame King approved of Finn dating his daughter, Bubblegum reached out to Finn to ask him something important. The candy princess called Finn's home phone.

"Hello?" Asked Finn.

"Hey Finn its Bubblegum, I...need to talk to you." Said Bubblegum.

"What's up Bubblegum?" Asked Finn.

"Finn...I hear your dating Flame Princess now and I'm happy for. You...probably heard about what I did to Flame Princess, when she a child." Said Bubblegum.

"She told me...and I have to say it Bubblegum, but what you did was wrong." Said Finn.

"I...know, but at the time I was trying to protect all of Ooo. All my people were terrified and having Flame Princess put in a lantern and taken back to her home seemed like the best solution, but now...I realize it was terrible idea and I wronged a child by having her locked up. Finn...I want to apologize to Phoebe and help make peace with her. I think it will help better unite our kingdoms." Said Bubblegum.

"Alright that...cool. I think we should throw a little party in the grasslands and invite people from both the Candy Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. You meet with Phoebe and apologize for what you did and everything will be alright." Said Finn.

"Will Phoebe...forgive me?" Asked Bubblegum.

"She will. Trust me Phoebe is a good person and she'll forgive you." Said Finn.

"Thanks Finn." Said Bubblegum as she hung up and went to go plan for the party.

Miles away at the secret lair, Pyro happened to be sitting and watching the monitors and heard about the party. The evil fire elemental stood up with a grin. A party was an excellent place to make his debut and there would be so many more people to burn to death! Pyro chuckled as he walked out of the monitor room and decided to pay a visit to Sylvester's lab.

Sylvester had just finished off repairing Blastronaut, when Pyro walked into the lab. The prince looked around at the lab and turned towards Sylvester.

"Can I help you with something?" Asked Sylvester.

"I'm going to a special party, to wreck some havoc and do some killing. I could use a little help and I thought I drop by and see what you had that I could use." Said Pyro.

"Will I just finished up the new cybernetic implants on the mutants and Susan is also ready to be deployed." Said Sylvester as he pointed at three metals pods.

Susan, Lightning, and Hydro were sleeping in the pods. Sylvester pushed a button making the pods open and the three sleepers wake up. The two mutants and Susan all had glowing red eyes.

"I must say this is my finest work. I've nearly removed their free will and made them into lifeless puppets who will do whatever we tell them. Go on give them a command." Said Sylvester.

"Do the splits!" Said Pyro.

The three mind controlled puppets did the splits. Pyro laughed and clapped.

"Alright. Do a river dance!"

They broke out into a river dance. Pyro laughed some more and made them stop.

"Alright doc I'll take them. I'm going to have fun using them." Said Pyro as he lead the puppets out of the lab.

"Hm. Perhaps it is time to retrieve Ash. His survived the injection and I need to run some test on him to improve the formula." Said Sylvester as he scratched his chin.

Pyro decided to see if Maja had any minions he could use, he went to her room and found the Sky Witch taking notes and the Secret Society standing close by. The wizards turned to Pyro.

"Greetings wizards, I'm Prince Pyro, heir to the Fire Kingdom and I was wondering if any of you lot would care to join me on a dangerous mission to crash a party and cause a little havoc." Said Pyro.

Bufo and Forest Wizard exchanged a look, they could sense that the young prince was trouble. Laser Wizard on the other hand could tell that this was an opportunity to get in with one of the higher ups of the organization and perhaps be greatly rewarded.

"Oh great Prince Pyro, I Laser Wizard will accompany you and serve you on your mission. Just give the command and I will do it." Said Laser Wizard.

"Oh someone who takes initiative, I like you already. You may join use." Said Pyro as he walked out of the room followed by Laser Wizard.

Pyro gathered his forces and grabbed the pet carrier that contained Magwood. Pyro snapped his fingers and a portal appeared before the group. The prince walked through it followed by the rest of his group and the portal vanished.

At the Candy Kingdom, Bubblegum was in her room brushing her hair and giving herself a pep talk.

"Just relax Bubblegum, you can do this. It's the right thing to do and if Phoebe doesn't forgive you then you at least tried to make peace with her. This is for the good of your kingdom and for Ooo."

There was a knock at the door and Peppermint Butler walked in.

"Princess, your carriage is ready."

"Thank you Peppermint Butler. Hopefully this will go over successfully and will all have a good time." Said Bubblegum as she stood up and left the room.

"Oh don't worry princess I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time." Said Peppermint Butler with an evil little smirk.

Bubblegum got into her carriage and headed out to the grasslands with several Candy People.

At the Ice Kingdom, Phoebe had changed into a white-pink dress and shoes. The young princess had her fiery hair down. Phoebe walked out of her room and down to the living room, where she met up with Simon, Marceline, and Betty.

"You look lovely." Said Simon.

"Thanks." Said Phoebe.

"You nervous?" Asked Betty.

"I am...what if I can't forgive Bubblegum and I end up starting a war or something between the Candy Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom?" Said Phoebe.

"Relax Phoebe, nothing like that will happen. I know...your probably still mad at Bubblegum for what she did to you, but for what I've heard Bubblegum actually feels bad about what she did to you and she's trying to make up for it. Trust me you'll feel much better when you see her and you forgive her." Said Simon.

"And if Bubblegum try's to do anything to you I'll belt her one." Said Marceline as she threw a punch in the air.

Phoebe laughed a little.

"Alright, I'll forgive her after she apologizes for what she did to me." Said Phoebe.

The four of them flew out of the castle and headed towards the grasslands.

At the grasslands, Fin, Jake, Lucinda, Django, and a few Candy People and Flame People were setting up decorations and stuff for the party. The Candy People and Flame People seemed to be getting along just fine. Phoebe and her little group were the first to arrive. Finn walked over to them.

"Hey Phoebe, your looking great. You ready to make a little peace and party?" Said Finn.

"I'm sure am. Thanks for setting this party up." Said Phoebe.

"No problem." Said Finn.

Django walked over to Phoebe and introduced himself.

"So your Marcy's sister. Named Django of the Dead. I have to save your more lovely and person. You and the hero here make a good couple." Said Django.

The young couple blushed as Django let out a laugh. The undead musician then detached his head, rolled it down his right arm, caught with his hand, and then tossed it in the air to land right back in his neck. Everybody clapped at this feat as Django took off his hat and bowed. The musician waved to the young couple and walked off.

"My big sis sure dose know a bunch of interesting people." Said Phoebe.

"Yeah, she dose." Said Finn.

Marceline and her band took the stage and began playing their instruments. The crowd started dancing. Finn looked at Phoebe.

"Care to dance?"

"I'd love to." Said Phoebe.

The young couple went off to join the crowd. The crowd was so busy dancing that they didn't see five more people join in on the party. It was Pyro and the troops he brought in all wearing hoodies to disguise themselves. Pyro watched the people dance and saw Finn and Phoebe dancing together.

"Should we attack now?" Asked Laser Wizard.

"Not yet, we still have to wait for one more VIPs to show up." Explained Pyro.

At that moment Bubblegum arrived in her carriage. The music died down and the crowd stopped dancing. Bubblegum exited the carriage and made her way to the crowd. Phoebe looked at Bubblegum. Finn put a hand on Phoebe's shoulders and gave her a reassuring smile. Phoebe smiled back and made her way to Bubblegum. The two princesses stopped a few feet from each other and looked at one another.

"Princess Bubblegum." Greeted Phoebe.

"Phoebe the Flame Princess, I've come to apologize for locking you in a lantern all those years ago. The incident all those years ago wasn't your fault, but I unfairly labeled you a threat and had you locked up. I was trying to protect Ooo, but in my mission to do that, I punished an innocent child. I'm happy to see that your free and that you are dating Finn. You look happy together and I'm happy for the both of you. I have come to ask you for forgiveness for what I have done to you. Will you please accept my apology and forgive me?" Said Bubblegum as she raised a hand to shake.

The crowd went silent as they starred at Phoebe. Finally the young princess spoke.

"I forgive you Princess Bubblegum. What happened in the past happened. I can understand that you were just trying to protect Ooo. I want our two kingdoms to coexist with one another peacefully and I want use to be friends." Said Phoebe as she reached up and shook Bubblegum's hand.

The younger princess then brought Bubblegum in close for an embrace. Bubblegum was first shocked by this, but then she smiled and returned the embrace. The crowd whooped and cheered. It was a good moment, unfortunately it was one that was soon to get rudely interrupted. Pyro made his way to the stage carrying the pet carrier. The prince then set the carrier down and snatched a microphone from the stage.

"Ah isn't this just grand? It brings a little tear to your eyes doesn't it! Not me! I find this entire event boring!" Said Pyro as he leaped onto the stage.

Everybody starred at the figure on the stage.

"Who are you creep?" Demanded Marceline.

"Oh sorry how rude of me. Introduction time!" Said Pyro as he burned the hoodie off of himself and faced the crowd. "I am the one and only Pyro the Flame Prince, heir to the Fire Kingdom and brother to little Princess Phoebe."

Everybody starred at Pyro not sure what to make if him. Phoebe seemed the most confused about the newcomer.

"Brother?" Said Phoebe.

"That's right? The name is Pyro got it memorized?" Said Pyro.

"Wait a minute! I remember that the Flame King and Flame Queen only had one child and that was Phoebe. Your a fraud!" Said Simon as he glared at the prince.

"Oh I can guarantee you ice man I am a real blood member of the royal family. I might not have been born the same way as the princess, but trust me I'm related to the royal family and that I'm royalty!" Said Pyro with a grin.

"Ok, so let's say you really are a prince of the Fire Kingdom, why are you here?" Demanded Marceline.

Pyro just grinned and stepped off the stage making his way towards Bubblegum and Phoebe. Finn stood next to the princesses and eyed the prince.

"It's simply really. I'm here to kill you!" He said with a grin as he raised one hand and fired a blast of fire at Bubblegum!

Finn quickly reacted and tackled Bubblegum to the ground to avoid the attack. Pyro laughed again as he aimed down at the young hero and the princess. Pyro fired another burst of fire, but Phoebe jumped in front of the blast and blocked it with a fire shield. The crowd backed away and starred at the two fire royals. Finn told Bubblegum to get to safety. Bubblegum nodded and quickly got up and put some and ran into the crowd to watch the fight.

"What's your problem?" Demanded Phoebe.

"I simply just like killing stuff and watching the world burn." Said Pyro with a grin.

It was at that moment that the rest of Pyro's forces attacked. Marceline and Lucinda were fixing to attack, when a blast of water slammed into them knocking them to the ground, followed by a blast of electricity that stunned them. The two cousins looked up to see Lighting and Hydro looking down at the, their faces blank and their eyes glowing red.

Django tried to come their aid, but a laser blast from Laser Wizard knocked him to the ground. Django tried to bring his guitar up to attack, but Laser Wizard blasted it from his hands. The evil wizard chuckled as his hands glowed with energy.

Simon and Betty watched this happen with shock.

"I'll deal with the prince, you go help the girls and Django." Said Simon before he ran to help Finn and Phoebe.

Betty went to the bands aid.

Susan appeared behind Jake and grabbed him attempting to crush him to death. Jake tried to wiggle free, but he couldn't, he then decided to shrink himself. Jake shrunk down to microscopic size and escaped Susan's grip. Susan looked around and tried to locate Jake. The magic dog reappeared behind Susan and made his right fist giant size.

"Sorry about this Susan." Said Jake before he slammed the giant fist into the back of Susan's head knocking her to the ground in a heap.

Jake ran off to help Finn and the Phoebe.

Finn was looking around at all the fighting and recognized the attackers.

"Your working with Crimson." Said Finn as he stood next to Phoebe up to confront Pyro.

"Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Your a whole lot smarter then we give you credit for." Said Pyro.

"What are you planning and who exactly are you guys?" Demanded Finn.

"Sorry I can't give you any spoilers, but I can tell you it's big. As to what we are, we don't really have an official name, but a few of use like to call ourselves The End Organization." Said Pyro.

"What's your real reason for being here?" Demanded Finn.

"I already told you I'm here to kill you, especially Phoebe. Can't have another heir to the throne, sorry sis but your going to have to die." Said Pyro as he raised his hands and flames appeared on them.

"You monster! Brother or no brother, I'm not going let someone like you take the throne and take our people down a path of evil and destruction!" Shouted Phoebe as she summoned her flame sword and charged swinging at her brother.

Pyro conjured up his own flame sword and blocked the attack with ease. Phoebe swung her sword sideways at Pyro, but he easily sidestepped it. Phoebe shouted and swung several more blows at Pyro, but he just kept blocking them and smiled at his sister's rage.

"That's right let see you hatred and fury! Our kind are breed to cause destruction! That is the nature of fire!" Laughed Pyro as he knocked Phoebe's sword to the side and prepared to bring his own crashing down on her.

Suddenly another sword came in and blocked the attack. Pyro looked over in shock to see Finn blocking the attack and glaring at him. Finn brought his other hand up and slammed his fist into Pyro's cheek knocking him back.

"Your no brother to Phoebe. A real brother would never try to strike another down, for something so selfish. Siblings are supposed to protect each other and love them. I love Phoebe and I'm not going to let you hurt her!" Shouted Finn with a fiery determination in his eyes.

Pyro rubbed his cheek in pain as Phoebe glared at him.

"Your wrong about the true nature of fire brother. Fire destroys stuff, but it also provides light and warmth. Fire is energy that gives life!" Declared Phoebe as she stood next to Finn.

The young couple looked at one another, exchanged a nod and charged forward swinging their swords at Pyro who quickly brought his up to defend.

Elsewhere Betty was sneaking up on Lighting and Hydro. Betty used her powers to conjure up a couple of baseball chunks of ice over Lighting and Hydro's heads. Betty brought the ice down hard on the mutants's heads hitting them hard and knocking them down in a dazed heap.

"Are you two alright?" Asked Betty as she went over to help Marceline and Lucinda up.

"We're ok, but I think someone's taken complete control over Lighting and Hydro." Said Marceline as she looked down at the mutants.

"Yeah it was like they were mindless puppets instead of living beings." Said Lucinda as she glanced at the cybernetic implants.

"Will help them out later. Right now we have a evil prince and a wizard to deal with." Said Betty.

The cousins nodded and the three of them headed off to go help their friends.

Django was dodging laser blast from Laser Wizard. As the musician ran about, he managed to detach his left hand and drop it to the ground. Laser Wizard was to busy blasting to notice the move. Django ran a few more yards before stopping to turn and face the wizard.

"Giving up?" Asked Laser Wizard.

Django's left hand raced on it's fingers towards Laser Wizard, jumped through the air and yanked on his cape. Laser Wizard let out a shout of surprise as he lost his balance and stumbled back. Django raced forward and slugged Laser Wizard in the face knocking him to the ground. Django reattached hand and ran over to pick up his guitar. Laser Wizard staggered to his feet only to get knocked back to the ground by a blast from Django's guitar. The undead musician turned to go help his friends.

Pyro was furiously fighting both Finn and Phoebe, but no matter what the evil prince tried the young couple managed to keep pressing forward. To make matters worse they were breaking through Pyro's defenses and causing a little damage to him. Pyro grunted and leaped away from the young couple to put some space between them. It was then that the other heroes arrived on the scene.

"Surrender! We've already beaten your pals." Said Finn.

"You mean those pals?" Asked Pyro as he pointed to his right.

Everybody turned to see Susan, Lightning, and Hydro walking slowly towards them.

"Ah! What's with them? They're like zombies or something!" Cried Jake.

"Well they're mindless like zombies now and they do whatever I tell them!" Laughed Pyro.

"You stripped them of their will! You monsters!" Shouted Simon as he fired a lighting blast at Pyro.

Pyro took flight to avoid the attack.

"Like I care what you think old man! I must admit your toughing then I thought, unfortunately for all of you I brought my dog with me! Magwood it's killing time!" Said Pyro as he let out a loud whistle.

The door to the little pet carrier opened up and out walked a tiny puppy dog made out of lava. The dog blinked it's red eyes at the heroes.

"Oh it's adorable!" Said Jake.

The puppy the then let out a loud growl and lava started spewing from it's body adding to it's mass. The creature grew until it was twice as big as an elephant! Everybody took a nervous step back as the creature lifted it's massive head back and let out a monstrous roar.

The crowd screamed with fear and tried to run away.

"Oh you can't leave, the fun has just started!" Laughed Pyro as he flew around blasting fire creating a ring of fire around the area to prevent anyone from leaving.

Pyro then landed on Magwood's back and faced the heroes. The prince then glanced over to Susan, Lighting, and Hydro. A nasty idea had just entered his mind.

"You three walk into the flames!"

The three puppets turned to the wall of flames and headed towards them. Pyro laughed like crazy.

"Oh my Glob they're actually going to do it! This is hilarious!"

"That guy is a real psychopath!" Shouted Finn.

Jake stretched his arms out and grabbed the three puppets. The puppets just stared on ahead and continued to try to walk forward. Simon told Jake to let go, so he could freeze them. Jake did as he was told and Simon incased the lower bodies and arms of Susan, Lighting, and Hydro.

With the crisis averted, the heroes turned to face Pyro and Magwood. The prince urged his giant lava dig to charge forward as he fired fireballs at the heroes. The heroes quickly dodged out of the way, as Django fired energy blast and Simon and Betty fired freeze blast at Magwood. The attacks seemed to only annoy the massive beast and it let out an angry roar. Pyro watched with satisfaction as the heroes dodged about. The prince saw Finn a few yards away and prepared to fire a large fireball at the hero, but before he could fire, Phoebe flew in, grabbed Pyro by the front, and flew into the sky with him.

Magwood felt the presence of his master leave his back. This confused the lava dog and made him turn his head around in confusion.

"His distracted nows our chance to attack." Said Finn.

"But how can we attack somebody made out of lava?" Asked Jake.

"We just have to cool him down." Said Django as he aimed his guitar at Magwood's feet and fired.

The ground underneath Magwood exploded and the lava dig fell into a large hole. Magwood landed on his side and tried to get up. Simon and Betty flew over the hole and used their powers to create a huge mound of snow that fell right on top of Magwood. The lava dig let out a roar of pain as it was buried underneath the snow. Simon and Betty then put out the ring of fire. The crowd and Bubblegum quickly took this opportunity to escape.

The heroes look at the mound of snow, which was steaming a little bit, suddenly Magwood leaped out of the snow. The lava dog's lava had been put out, so now he resembled a grey rock version of itself. Magwood roared and charged forward. Django fired a blast from his guitar and nocked the creature back a little. Marceline and Lucinda flew forward swinging their ax and hammer at the beast. The blows connected and knocked Magwood to the ground with cracks all over his body. Finn charged in to deliver the finishing blow, but a laser blast hit from the side and knocked him to the ground. Everybody turned to see Laser Wizard stumbling towards them.

"You won't get rid of me that easy! You three help me!" Shouted Laser Wizard as he fired a laser blast that freed Susan, Lightning, and Hydro.

The three puppets headed towards the heroes to attack. Finn stumbled to his feet to join in on the fight.

In the sky above Phoebe still had a grip on Pyro. The evil prince was getting annoyed with the princess and slammed his elbow down on her back to make her lose her grip. Pyro pushed himself away from Phoebe and the two glared at one another.

"I must admit, your tougher then I thought, but now I'm going to show you a sample of my real power." Said Pyro as he created six fireballs around himself.

The fireballs began to change shape, until they resembled bowling ball size eyeballs. Pyro had just created Demonic Eye Creatures with his flames! Phoebe stared at Pyro in shock as the Demonic Eye Creatures raced forward to attack. Phoebe flew back and blasted the evil creatures with a powerful fire blast destroying them. However the Demonic Eye Creatures were just a distraction. A large fireball appeared behind Phoebe and changed into a giant flaming hand. The hand grabbed Phoebe and began squeezing her hard! Phoebe screamed in pain as Pyro floated up to her. The hand vanished and Pyro grabbed Phoebe's limp form by her dress and held her up.

"You see sister, you are completely outclassed. I am the true heir to the Fire Kingdom and only the strongest shall rule. You on the other hand can just die." Said Pyro as he let go of Phoebe and she plummeted to the ground below.

On the ground below Finn saw Phoebe falling and panicked. The boy turned to Jake.

"I need to bounce!" He called as he raced towards Jake.

"Got it man!" Said Jake as he got onto his back and stretched his belly out.

Finn jumped onto the belly like a trampoline and flew into the air towards Phoebe. Finn caught her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Everything is going to be ok. I won't let you go." Said Finn as they fell.

Jake made his hands and arms giant size as he caught the couple in them. Finn looked at Phoebe.

"Finn...I'm sorry. I wasn't...strong enough to beat him." Said Phoebe.

"It's ok...Phoebe. You did your best." Said Finn as he kissed Phoebe on the cheek.

"Isn't this romantic! The hero is showing affection to the beaten princess. Yuck!" Said Pyro as he hovered before the heroes. "You lot make me want to throw up, burn you to death, and throw up again! You pathetic losers and your love! The only thing that matters in this world is power and destruction!"

Finn glared up at Pyro in anger, but before the young hero could say or do anything. Simon acted first. The wizard had a cold look in his eyes as he raised his right hand and fired an icicle that sailed through the air and right by Pyro's face, giving him a cut on his right cheek that started to bleed. Pyro winced in pain as he put a hand to his face.

"The only pathetic person here is you Pyro. I don't know how your related to Phoebe or the royal family of the Fire Kingdom and I don't care. Phoebe is a better ruler then you could ever possibly be, because she has heart! I've raised her since she was a babe and as one of my own children. I've seen the good in her. I will protect her as if she was a member of my own family, same goes for everyone else here. Pyro I'm giving you this one chance to either retreat or surrender, but if you chose to continue fighting and trying to hurt the people here, you leave me no choice. Whatever you do I will return it back a thousand fold!" Declared Simon as he glared up at Pyro.

Pyro starred back at Simon and he was taken back at the cold look the normally calm and friendly wizard gave him. It unnerved the prince slightly. Pyro decided it was time to retreat.

"Fine I'll stop attacking, but this is far from over. Like the sun I will rise again, until then farewell little sister." Said Pyro as he snapped his fingers and teleported himself and all of his forces away.

Simon let out a breath and his face softened.

"Glad that's over." Said Simon.

The rest of the heroes nodded. Phoebe had a determined look in her eyes as she made a silent vow to herself.

"I will become stronger and I will defeat Pyro."

In the Candy Kingdom, things seemed to be going about their usually business. At the hospital the patients and staff received a surprise visit from Cheryl the head and mascot of Super Porp and Greg the CEO of Genco. The two celebrities passed out free soda and cookies to all the patience and staff. In the hospital's monitor room all the cameras went out. In Ash's room the wizard was half awake, when somebody entered his room.

"Hello Ash, I'm here to take you to a special lab, where I can do some test on you."

Ash turned his head and saw Sylvester grinning at him. Ash let out a scared whimper as Sylvester stabbed a syringe into his arm and everything went black. When a nurse went to check on Ash, he was nowhere to be found.

At the secret lair Pyro and his forces had returned. They went to tend to their injuries in the lair's hospital wing. Pyro paced around trying to come up with a new plan of attack. Crimson walked in and approached the prince.

"I take it that your plan didn't work?" Asked Crimson.

"No it failed. I'm going to finish those guys off next time I see them." Said Pyro as he clenched his fist.

"Oh you'll get your chance sooner then you think. Don John has just learned a interesting new spell. One that will allow you to take the throne with ease." Said Crimson.

"I'm liking this plan already." Said Pyro with a grin.

The flaming terror of Pyro had just began.

To be continued.
