Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
At a clinic near the Wildberry Kingdom, Phil the son of Plague was getting off from work. It had been a busy day at the clinic with a bunch of man showing up with bruises and other injuries. Phil had met a man, who was only dressed in his underwear named Phil. The other Phil claimed to be a ninja and that he lost his clothes in a fight with a fierce opponent. Phil just nodded as he patched up a bruise on the ninja's head up. After work Phil went to get some coffee at a local coffee shop before heading back to the apartment he shared with Fredric son of Famine.
Phil was outside drinking his coffee, when he felt the ground tremble. The son of Plague looked around in confusion and saw a few Berry People starring at something in the distance. Phil went to join them and his jaw dropped in shock. Half a mile away from the kingdom was a massive creature walking by. The monstrous being looked like he was made of earth and trees. Next to the giant were four floating beings who just looked like insects compared to the giant. Everybody watched as the giant stomped off. Phil had no idea what the creature was but one thing was for sure, it was a force of nature to be feared.
Tobe was walking through some woods when he heard a thunderous thud off in the distance, curious as to what it was, he climbed a high tree to get a better look. The ninja saw a huge figure making his way north. Tobe put a hand to his sword as he watched the giant move. A sixth sense told Tobe that the creature was a very dangerous being. Tobe thought about following it, but he realized it would be impossible to catch up to the giant. The ninja just watched as the giant creature moved on.
Things were busy at Castle Lemongrab. The people were either partying or talking about the recent events in Ooo. King was in a meeting room with Lemongrab, Cookie, Sid, Jack, Jaybird, Toronto, and the Business Men. Slicer was off taking inventory of the army.
Toronto was in front of the group telling everyone about the recent kingdoms that had or had not joined their side. The Gnome Kingdom and the Fairy Kingdom had recently agreed to join up with King's forces, Gareth and Phil the Pajama Ninja had failed to get the Mountain Kingdom to join up with them, and it looked like the Goblin Kingdom was going to sign up with the Candy Kingdom.
The Syndicate had searched for Xerigiok the former ruler of the Goblin Kingdom to put him back in control. They eventually found Xerigiok at Mount Crador were the former Goblin King had apparently reformed and now was a peaceful guy who did good deeds. The Syndicate tried to talk Xerigiok into taking back his kingdom and joining them, but he refused.
Toronto finished his report and looked at everyone around the table. King seemed to be lost in thought and after a few minutes he was fixing to speak when there was a loud thud that shook the room. Everybody looked around in confusion, when there was another thud that shook the room. Slicer suddenly came barging into the meeting room followed by Bucket Knight.
"There's something outside I think you should see." Said Slicer.
Everybody followed the knights outside to the castle wall. Several guards were already up there starring with a mixture of fear and awe at a huge creature that was stomping a few hundred yards away. It was Darren and he was a sight to behold. Darren looked like a gigantic mountain that had decided to sprout legs and go for a walk, the force of nature easily towered over the castle walls and made The Farm look tiny in comparison.
"Um...should we attack?" Asked Cookie.
"Well it's not doing anything, so I...think we should just leave it alone." Said Toronto.
"Good business move." Said Business Man 1.
"Hey what's going on?" Asked Party God as he flew up to the castle wall and looked to see what everyone was looking at.
Party God saw Darren and his jaw dropped and his eyes widen in fear. King noticed the deity's reaction and turned to him.
"Do you know this creature?"
"I...do. That's Darren the Sleeper. His...like the ultimate party crasher, except instead of crashing parties he crashes life instead! Darren is a psychotic killer. Way back in the old days, he was the most feared guy around. The only time he ever parties is after his destroyed a bunch of people and grounded their remains into salt for his meals!" Said Party God.
"So where has he been all these years?" Asked Slicer.
"He was supposed to be asleep for an eternity, but I guess someone woke him up. It's like the ultimate party fowl." Said Party God.
It was then that Darren glanced over at the Castle Wall and saw Party God. The giant turned to face the deity.
"Hello Wilbert, been a long time." Said Darren.
"Um...hey Darren um good to see your awake." Said Party God nervously.
"We should really hang out and party sometime. You can bring the food and I will bring the salt after I'm done causing some destruction." Said Darren.
"Sounds...great." Said Party God.
"Come on Darren we have some destroying to do." Said Maja as she and her minions floated next to Darren's head.
Darren nodded and they headed off away from Castle Lemongrab. Party God let out a sigh of relief, before he went off to go collect the Parry Bears and his stuff. When Darren started destroying things, Party God planned to be long gone.
Miles away at the secret lair, Sylvester went to see the Lich and report to him. The scientist kneeled before the throne and gave his report.
"Master the creatures I have created from the heroes DNA are almost complete. One is already ready for combat and the others will be ready in a few days." Said Sylvester.
"Excellent. What other news do you have for me?" Said the Lich.
"My probes have located the prison known as the Citadel." Said Sylvester.
"This is indeed good news. We shall raid the prison soon and get back what was mine." Said the Lich.
"What kind of prisoner are we busting out of the Citadel?" Asked Sylvester.
"We are breaking out more then one prisoner. You see long ago I had an army of the most evil creatures the multiverse had even seen, but during the Great War the most powerful members of my army were trapped inside a book. The book was placed inside the center of the Citadel and placed faraway from this world." Explained the Lich.
"Interesting." Said Sylvester.
"Yes. Now I hear that Maja finally managed to locate and awaken the Sleeper to attack the Candy Kingdom. If she requires any assistance you will send your minions out to help her." Said the Lich.
"Of course master." Said Sylvester with a bow before he walked out of the throne room.
The Lich sat in his throne and thought about getting his army back.
At the Candy Kingdom, Bubblegum was down in her lab drawing up several different blueprints. One massive blueprint was labeled 'Cake Carrier' while the other was labeled 'Super Sugar Force'. Both of these projects were made to make the Candy Kingdom stronger. The candy princess knew that something bad was coming to Ooo and her kingdom was going to need to be stronger to help unite all the other kingdoms. Bubblegum rubbed her eyes and took off the lab coat she was wearing. The candy princess had been having more strange nightmares lately and she had been getting very little sleep. Hopefully nothing bad would happen and then she could focus on resting.
There was a large gathering of people at the Candy Kingdom, there was Finn, Jake, Phoebe, Simon, Betty, Grand Master Wizard, Huntress Wizard, and Gridface Princess. Gridface Princess was the ruler of the Grid Kingdom. It was an advanced kingdom with technology and Bubblegum was looking forward to form an alliance with Gridface Princess.
Today Bubblegum would discuss strategy with her allies incase of future troubles and hopefully come up with a peaceful solution. The princess changed outfits and went to go meet with everyone in the courtyard. Everybody greeted Bubblegum warmly. The candy princess smiled and was fixing to speak, when Colonel Candy Corn and Root Beer Guy came rushing up to her with frantic looks on their faces.
"Princess we have a big problem on our hands!" Said Root Beer Guy.
"What is it?" Asked Bubblegum.
"Well...its a thing. A really big thing! You have to see it to understand." Said Colonel Candy Corn.
"Lead the way." Said Bubblegum.
The candy officers lead Bubblegum and the others to the castle walls. Off in the distance they could see Darren stomping towards the kingdom, with Maja and her minions floating next to him. Bubblegum studied the approaching enemy with some binoculars, she could tell that this was bad. This was a large direct attack on her kingdom by an unknown enemy. The princess turned to her friends and allies.
"Everybody that creature out there is working with one of our enemies and she plans to attack us. I need your help. Whatever is going on in Ooo, we need to work together and stop it, only united do we stand a chance!" Said Bubblegum.
"We got your back!" Said Finn as pulled out his sword.
The others nodded. Bubblegum smiled at them all and thanked them before running off to change clothes and ready help ready her forces.
The battle for the Candy Kingdom was fixing to begin.
To be continued.
