Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
(Author's Note: Alright everybody here is one of my first Character Chapters. These will focus on some of the other characters in the story. It will be a mix of the present and flashbacks. Don't worry I will throw in a little bit of the main story in at the beginning and end of these chapters. I will be doing a total of three of these in different parts of the story. Hope you enjoy.)
The kingdoms and villages of Ooo were decided into separate groups. Some sided with the Candy Kingdom, some sided with King, and others either formed their own groups or just stayed neutral.
The Candy Kingdom had the Ice Kingdom, the Fire Kingdom, and Wizard City on it's side.
King had the Maunders, Thief City, the Slime Kingdom, and Muscle Kingdom on his side.
Other kingdoms like Lumpy Space, Breakfast Kingdom, Mounty Kingdom, and Wildberry Kingdom had sided with neither side and had just decided to stay neutral.
At the secret lair Crimson was reporting to the Lich. After the report Crimson pulled out the bottle that contained Finn's Fear Fester.
"I removed the boy's Fear Fester and it told me his fear. I think you would like to hear what it has to say." Said Crimson as he opened the bottle and the Fear Fester floated up to the Lich and began to whisper to him.
The Lich let out a cold chuckle as the Fear Fester flew back into the bottle.
"This is excellent news. The boy's fear is also a great weakness of the one he loves, we shall use it to kill two birds with one stone." Said the Lich.
"My thoughts exactly sir, I've been searching for just the creature for the job and I should have it soon enough." Said Crimson.
"Well done my most faithful and loyal servant." Said the Lich.
"Anything to please you master." Said Crimson with a bow before he walked off to go work on his plan.
Miles away in a path near the Mountain Kingdom, Tobe was walking and taking in the sights. It was still hard for the ninja's mind to grasp that the world had changed so much over the years. Tobe had lived an interesting life back in his time and had been taught by an ancient deity named Iroh.
FLASHBACK
Tobe was a young man, drinking tea at a local tea house that only had a few elderly customers. It was a peaceful day, until three scruffy looking men carrying swords walked in and demanded drinks and food. Tobe glanced up at the three men with annoyance and disgust. One of the man saw Tobe and waltzes up to him with an ugly sneer on his face.
"You got a problem pal?"
"Just three pigs making a ruckus." Said Tobe.
The man eyes gleamed with anger as he reached for his sword, but before he could draw it, Tobe shot his hand out and grabbed the man by the front of his shirt and slammed him face first into the table! The man let out a groan as Tobe released him and he fell into an unconscious heap.
The other two men looked at Tobe in shock, one of them pulled out his sword and stalked towards him ready to fight. Tobe saw that the man had a poor stance and he just shook his head with amusement. The man lunged clumsily at Tobe, but Tobe just sidestepped the blow and delivered a chop to the back of the man's neck knocking him to the ground in a unconscious heap.
"Your not even worthy to be bested by my blades." Said Tobe as he turned to the last man.
The last man had a panicked look in his eyes, he looked around desperately for something to help him against Tobe. The man's eyes landed on a young waiter girl and he grabbed her. The waiter was held out like a human shield with the man's blade pointed at her throat.
"Don't...come any closer!" Shouted the man.
Tobe eyed the man not sure what to do. It was then that a short elderly man got up and calmly walked up behind the hostage taker. There was a flash of something white and the hostage taker's sword was gone. The man blinked his eyes in confusion at he stared at his empty hand. There was another flash of white behind the hostage taker's neck. The man's eyes rolled up as he let go of his hostage and fell to the ground unconscious. Tobe stared at the old man opened mouthed. The waiter turned towards the old man and started thanking him.
"Pleas it was nothing. I saw a beautiful young lady who needed saving and I did what any person would have done." Replied the old man as he picked up a walking staff and headed out.
Tobe paid for his tea and ran out after the old man.
"Old man, I saw what you did in there." Said Tobe.
"Oh did you now? What did you see?" Asked the old man as he turned to Tobe.
"You took that man's sword away and delivered a blow to the nerves at the back of his neck." Said Tobe.
"I did. I must admit you have very sharp eyes and you took care of those other men with ease." Said the old man.
"Yes I did, but I can see that you could have taken them out faster then I could have. I want you to teach me to become stronger." Said Tobe.
"You wish to become stronger?" Asked the old man.
"I do. I want to be the strongest warrior in the world." Said Tobe.
"A very ambitious goal, but why should I train you?" Said the old man.
"Because I demand you to!" Declared Tobe as he pulled out his swords and pointed them at Iroh.
"A two sword fighter, very impressive fighting style and not an easy one to master. I will test your skill and resolve to see if you are worth teaching." Said the old man as he moved forward with incredible speed swinging his walking staff.
Tobe managed to block the blow and pushed his opponent back. The old man's eyes twinkled with admiration as Tobe charged forward swinging his swords. The old man blocked them with ease making Tobe furious. Tobe increases the fury of his attack and swung one of his swords down with all the might he had slicing the old man's staff in half. The old man narrowed his eyes as he held both staff halve up, he then charged forward swinging both staff halves with great speed and delivered several blows to Tobe, knocking the blades from his hands and knocking him to the ground.
The old man looked down at Tobe, who staggered to his feet with determination in his eyes.
"We're not...done yet!" Breathed Tobe.
"We're done for today and you have passed my test. You have shown me your skill and resolve and for that I will teach you and help you become stronger." Said the old man as he walked over to Tobe and draped one of his arms over his shoulder to help steady him.
"So...what are you exactly and what should I call?" Asked Tobe.
"Believe it or not I'm a deity of wisdom. As to what you may call me, you can call me Iroh."
PRESENT DAY
Tobe arrived at the Mountain Kingdom, he was there to visit Doctor Princess and get some of his wounds checked out. For some reason the ninja had taken a fondness to the doctor and enjoyed visiting her. As Tobe made his way to the clinic, he saw several suspicious people hanging outside.
Inside the clinic Doctor Princess found herself facing Gareth the Laddie's Man, a Hooligan, a couple of Slider Guys, and a large gingerbread man named Smudge. Gareth grinned at Doctor Princess trying to work his charm.
"Now Doctor, we're here because we know your one of most trusted people in the Mountain Kingdom and we need you to convince the Mountain King to side up with the King of Ooo, it's in everyone's best interest and we wouldn't want anyone to get hurt now would we?" Said Gareth with a grin.
The Slider Guys cracked their knuckles, while the Hooligan flicked a lighter. Doctor Princess just glared at Gareth.
"I will do no such thing for you."
Gareth just frowned with a little annoyance and was fixing to order the others to attack, when something flew through the air knocking the lighter out of the Hooligan's hand. There was a loud thunk and everyone turned to see a ninja star sticking out of the wall. It was then that Tobe came leaping in to deliver a powerful karat chop to both the Slider Guys knocking them down to the ground dazed. Tobe landed on the ground and then stood up to glare at the Syndicate members.
"Leave!" He ordered.
Smudge looked like he was about to attack, but Gareth raised his hand and stopped him.
"This isn't over." Said Gareth as he gathers his gang and left the clinic.
"You ok?" Asked Tobe as he looked at Doctor Princess.
"I'm ok, thanks to you." Said Doctor Princess.
"What did those men want?" Asked Tobe.
"They wanted me to convince the Mountain King to join up with King, but I refused." Said Doctor Princess.
"That was very brave of you." Said Tobe.
"Thank you. Now let's checks those bandages of yours." Said Doctor Princess.
FLASHBACK
Tobe began to train under Iroh for a few years and learned many things from the deity. Then the day came, where Iroh was to teach Tobe the art of Fridjitzu, however Iroh refused to teach Tobe. The warrior demanded why and Iroh told him, that there was darkness and wraith inside Tobe's heart and that he would only teach him once he found compassion.
Tobe was furious and he wondered off into the woods to slice at trees with his swords. It was then that a man with dark black hair carrying a bisento approached him.
"Who are you?" Demanded Tobe as he faced the newcomer.
"I'm a Iroh's brother Shen. I have been watching you for a long time Tobe and I think my brother is doing you a great wrong by refusing to teach you Fridjitzu." Said Shen.
"You do?" Asked Tobe.
"Indeed I do. You have proven yourself to be an excellent student. Iroh is holding you back to prevent you from reaching your true potential. You should simply ambush and kill him. Once he is dead you can take his book and learn Fridjitzu yourself." Said Shen.
"Your right. I am the master now." Said Tobe with pride as he walked off to go kill Iroh.
Shen just smirked wickedly.
PRESENT DAY
Gareth and his gang were outside the Mountain Kingdom. Gareth pulled out his cellphone and made a phone call.
"Hey King its me. We had a little ninja problem and we need a little help dealing with it. Can you send us Phil and the Pajama Ninja Clan?" Said Gareth. "You can. That's great!" He said as he hung up grinning.
At the clinic Doctor Princess was done checking all of Tobe's bandages and telling him he was all healed up, when there was a bunch of shouting outside. Tobe geared up and he and Doctor Princess ran outside to see what was happening. Mountain People were running away from a group of humanoid figures wearing black clothing on their bodies that made them look like ninjas and carrying swords. There were roughly forty of them altogether. One figure wearing glasses and a little hair on his face stepped forward.
"I am Phil, leader of the Pajama Ninja Clan. We have come to deal with the one known as Tobe!" Declared Phil.
"May I ask who sent you?" Asked Tobe.
"Let's just say your an annoyance to our employer and he wishes for you to be removed." Said Phil with a smirk as he pointed his sword at Tobe.
"Doctor get inside the clinic, I'll deal with these guys." Said Tobe.
"Ok, but be careful." Said Doctor Princess as she went back into the clinic.
Tobe faced the Pajama Ninjas. Phil waved his sword and the ninjas charged forward. Tobe stood still as the enemy raced towards him. Tobe reached into his belt and threw out several small marbles at the feet of his enemy! The Pajama Ninjas stepped on the marbles and slipped, some of them crashed on the ground, while others crashed into each other. In a matter of seconds eight Pajama Ninjas were unconscious and dazed on the ground.
"Rule number one of combat. Never rush you enemy head on unless you know about his skills." Said Tobe as he ran forward knocking out a couple more Pajama Ninjas with the back of his swords, before he ran into a nearby building, that appeared to be some kind of restaurant.
Several Pajama Ninjas raced in after Tobe. The ninja stood in the center of the room as the Pajama Ninjas surrounded him. Tobe reached into his pocket and pulled out a round orb like object that he threw to the ground creating a smoke screen. The Pajama Ninjas shouted in surprise and stumbled around blindly. Tobe went through the cloud knocking out six Pajama Ninjas with blows to the neck causing them to shout out in pain confusing and freaking out the rest of the Pajama Ninjas. A few Pajama Ninjas bumped into each other and started to attack each other thinking that it was Tobe they were attacking instead of each other, while some other Pajama Ninjas crashed into some walls and furniture. After a few minutes the smoke died down revealing a dozen Pajama Ninjas lying on the ground unconscious. Tobe stood by some stairs and waved at the Pajama Ninjas before running up them.
The Pajama Ninja's took off after him. Four of them had reached the top, when Tobe spun around and kicked the lead runner, causing him to fall back and crash into three of his companions knocking them all out. More Pajama Ninjas raced up the stairs looking for Tobe, but he wasn't there, suddenly Tobe jumped down from the celling and landed behind two Pajama Ninjas. Before either Pajama Ninja could do anything, Tobe slammed their heads together knocking them out.
"Rule number two of combat. Use your environment to your advantage." Said Tobe as he ran down the stairs and out of the restaurant.
The remaining eighteen Pajama Ninjas regrouped. From the sidelines Phil and a massive Pajama Ninja with the body of a sumo wrestler watched them. The eighteen Pajama Ninjas went after Tobe, who was running up a hill towards a nearby cart with a bunch of barrels tied down on it. Tobe flicked his sword at the rope releasing the barrels from the cart. Tobe then kicked the barrel making it roll down the hill. The ninja then jumped onto the barrel and began to run on it towards the Pajama Ninjas. The enemy was completely taken by surprise by the attack and immediately turned to run away. The barrel however was quicker then they thought. The barrel ran over two Pajama Ninjas knocking them out, while Tobe knocked out another four with his swords. Tobe then leaped off the barrel and it crashed into a nearby building.
There were only a dozen enemies left. The Pajama Ninjas were angry, but now they were frighten by Tobe's skill. The Pajama Ninjas decided that their only option left was to attack Tobe at once! The let out a cry and charged forward swinging their swords. Tobe brought his two swords up and with lightning quick movements he deflected the blades away from himself, while also delivering blows with the back of his blades to all of his enemies's heads knocking them out. Tobe stood over a dozen unconscious Pajama Ninjas.
Tobe turned to face Phil and the sumo ninja.
"Crush that bug, Steve." Ordered Phil.
Steve nodded and stomped forward with his massive fist raised. Tobe put his swords up and faced Steve. The sumo ninja hurled a punch at Tobe, but he dodged it and delivered several strikes to Steve's side. However instead of going down or shouting in pain Steve just chuckled and swatted Tobe away with a backhand. Tobe rubbed the side of his head as he got up to face Steve. Apparently Steve's body mass acted as a shield protecting his vital points. Tobe reached into his pocket and pulled out a chain, he then raced towards Steve who tried to swat at him again. Tobe leaped over the swing, looped the chain over Steve's fist, and landed on his back. The ninja then yanked hard on the chain causing Steve's fist to race up and slam into his face! Steve staggered back dizzy. Tobe yanked on the chain again to cause Steve's fist to slam into his face again! This time Steve fell forward and hit the ground with a tremendous thud.
Tobe leaped off of Steve and faced Phil. Both opponents drew their swords and faced each other. Then with a shout they charged at one another, there was a slash sound and both fighters stood a few yards from one another.
"Rule number three of combat. Never underestimate your opponent." Said Tobe as he put his swords up.
Phil's sword shattered to pieces!
"My sword!"
Phil's pajamas fell to the ground in pieces, leaving him in nothing but his underwear.
"My pajamas!"
Phil's glasses fell to the ground in half.
"My glasses!"
Tobe walked up and delivered a powerful karat chop to his head knocking him out. The ninja then went to go see how Doctor Princess was doing.
FLASHBACK
Tobe waited behind a tree as Iroh walked through the woods. When Iroh passed the tree, Tobe stepped out and hurled a ninja star at him. Iroh spun around and caught the ninja star between his fingers. Tobe charged forward with his swords raised for combat, Iroh shot forward and slammed a palm into Tobe's chest sending him crashing into a tree. The ninja staggered to his feet and glared at the deity.
"Give me the book!" Snarled Tobe.
"I will not. You are consumed with your anger and your mind is clouded my student. If I gave you the book then you would become even more destructive." Said Iroh.
"You just want to keep me from reaching my potential, just like your brother told me!" Shouted Tobe as he took a shaky step towards Iroh.
"No, I am protecting you from yourself. If you do not change your way then you will destroy yourself." Said Iroh as he walked away.
"Don't...you walk away from me!" Shouted Tobe as he tried to chase after Iroh, but only succeeded in falling onto his knees.
Tobe lifted his head up and roared at the heavens. Tobe became filled with anger and everything turned red. The ninja stumbled to his feet and ended up walking towards a nearby village going on a crazed killing spree. After a while Iroh showed up to confront his student.
"You see what you made me do when you refused to give me what I was destined for! I am the greatest ninja to roam this world and I will defeat anyone who stands in my way, including you my foolish master!" Roared Tobe as he charged forward unleashing a fury of sword attacks.
Iroh blocked all the attacks and delivered a few palm strikes to Tobe knocking him back. Tobe shook the blows off and advanced towards Iroh.
"The only way to end this is for one of us to die!" Declared Tobe.
"Your wrong. Tobe you have done many horrible things. I tried to show you the path, but you refuse to listen. Though you are bad, I still believe there is hope for you. I will not kill you, but I will stop you!" Declared Iroh as his hands glowed gold with energy.
Iroh fired a blast of energy at Tobe and hit him. At first nothing happened, then Tobe's body began to turn to stone! Tobe shouted and cursed as his head started to turn to stone.
"When the time comes Tobe, you will be freed and hopefully you will find the path." Said Iroh as Tobe completely turned into a statue.
THE PRESENT
Gareth and his gang were breaking into the back of the clinic. The gang decided to split up and look for Doctor Princess. Gareth and the two Slider Guys went one way, while Smudge and the Hooligan went the other.
Smudge and the Hooligan were checking out the medicine and supply room, when Doctor Princess hopped out from behind a counter with a fire extinguisher. Doctor Princess sprayed the Hooligan blinding him and then she hit him with the extinguisher knocking him to the ground. Smudge heard this and came stomping towards Doctor Princess. Doctor Princess grabbed a defibrillator from a nearby self and spun around to face the large gingerbread man. Smudge saw the defibrillator in Doctor Princess's hands, but before he could do anything, she ran forward and hit him in the chest with it. There was a crash sound followed by Smudge shouting in pain. The big gingerbread was electrocuted and then he fell on his back unconscious.
Doctor Princess put the defibrillator back on the shelf as Gareth and the Slider Guys showed up and closed in on her. It was then that Tobe appeared and delivered a karat chop to both the Slider Guys's necks knocking them out. Gareth heard the sound of his men hitting the floor and spun around with a panicked look in his eyes as he saw Tobe.
"Lights out pal!" Said Doctor Princess.
Gareth spun around to face her, just in time to receive a punch to the face! The criminal fell to the ground with a black eye. Tobe looked down at Gareth and then turned to Doctor Princess.
"You handled yourself quit well." Said Tobe.
"Thanks." Said Doctor Princess as she blushed slightly.
The two of them went about dragging the unconscious gang outside. The Mountain People were gathering the Pajama Ninja and taking them out of the kingdom. The gang was gathered up along with them and tossed outside the kingdom to.
At the clinic Tobe and Doctor Princess watched as the last of the Pajama Ninjas were dragged off.
"Thanks for all the help Tobe. You saved me and you really helped the kingdom out." Said Doctor Princess.
"It was the right thing to do." Said Tobe.
"You a real hero." Said Doctor Princess as she suddenly leaned in and kissed Tobe on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Asked Tobe in confusion as he looked at Doctor Princess.
"Just a special thank you. All heroes deserve a kiss after they rescued a kingdom." Said Doctor Princess with a little smile.
"Well...thank you." Said Tobe as his cheeks flushed a little and he bowed.
Tobe then walked away, his mind going over everything that happened. The ninja liked being called a hero and it did feel good to rescue people and fighting to defend others. Maybe this was the path Iroh had in mind for him. Tobe continued on his way as he thought about this.
Miles away at Lab 0013, Pyro had just arrived at receiving a call from Sylvester about a special project. Pyro made his way to a lab that contained six pods. One of the pods was empty, while the others had a shadowy figure inside them. Sylvester walked in and greeted Pyro.
"So what's this special project doc?" Asked Pyro.
"I've taken DNA from Finn and several of his friends to create a special team for you. I've fused some of the DNA together to create some truly unique creatures." Explained Sylvester.
"So is one of these guys already awake?" Asked Pyro pointing at the empty pod.
"Yes, that would be the warrior I created from Simon and Betty's DNA. He doesn't quit have the exact same ice powers as Simon or Betty, but the gear his suiting up in will make up for that." Said Sylvester.
In a room next door a young man was putting on a suit of blue and grey armor. The man had blue skin, a pointy nose, two black eyes, and white hair. The man finished putting on his armor and looked at himself in the mirror. He studied his hair for a few seconds then ran his hands through it. There was a flash of blue from his hands and his hair was frozen into one big jagged piece of ice. Satisfied with his work the man walked out of the room and to the pod room.
"There's our warrior right there." Said Sylvester.
Pyro inspected his new comrade.
"I like what I see. What shall we call you?"
"Call me Frost." Said the man with a smirk as his right hand turned into a blaster and glowed with icy energy.
"I like it. Frost I have a feeling that this is the beginning of a beautiful psychotic friendship." Said Pyro with a grin.
In the room where Xana was being kept, the powerful AI was designing a couple of crab like robots, when a consul beeped. It was a computer that was linked to a space probe traveling through space. A couple of words appeared on a nearby screen.
Citadel located.
Miles away from the lab near some mountains, Maja, Crabbit, and the Secret Society were standing at the edge of a cliff. Maja was wearing the shirt she got from Bubblegum as she faced the mountain.
"Keepers of the clock, masters of dimension, bear witness! By my power, I compel you to converge! Past and present, be one. Awaken the terror of a forgotten age in this moment that is all moments in the blink of an eye. Darren, the ancient sleeper, arise!" Chanted Maja.
The ground shook and thunder crackled as a massive figure know as Darren rose out of the ground and sat leaning against a mountain. Darren's body was a mix of both plants and rocks. He had a tree for a head, with a long nose and two yellow cruel eyes. In his left hand there was a massive staff.
Maja grinned with excitement, Crabbit cawed with joy, Laser Wizard starred in awe, and Forest Wizard and Bufo quivered in fear. Darren looked at the group before him and spoke.
"I had a dream I was fighting an army that could birth new soldiers from their own blood. I was endless. Does that make sense?"
"A memory of the past perhaps, but let's move on to the future. I am Maja the Sky Witch. I am a servant of the Lich and I have awaken you to help do his will." Said Maja.
"You serve the great destroyer? Very well then I shall do as you say Sky Witch." Said Darren.
"There's a certain Candy Kingdom that needs destroying. It is protected by several powerful warriors that could posse a threat to the master's plans." Said Maja.
"This kingdom of candy… I will lay it to waste, turn their people to salt… and garnish a million meals with the salt, which we will eat… for eternity." Said Darren.
"Ok a little...weird, but as long as you promise to destroy the Candy Kingdom and all those who protect it, you may do as you please." Said Maja.
"I promise, as well, to deliver destruction so thorough that all realities are affected… All realities." Said Darren as he rose to his full hight.
"Excellent!" Said Maja with a grin.
A new destructive force had arrived in Ooo and it had it's eyes set on the Candy Kingdom.
To be continued.
