Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
A few days after Susan had told Bubblegum the news of Cheryl and Super Porp being connected to Sylvester and the other villains, she immediately called Finn and told him to get whoever he could and head to the Candy Kingdom. The young hero showed up with Jake, Phoebe, Simon, Betty, Lance, Henry, Marceline, Lucinda, and the Peace Protecters. Nemo passed out snacks and drinks to the group as Bubblegum began speaking.
"Thank you all for coming, I've have just recently learned from Susan, that Cheryl and the Super Porp corporation were involved with her capture and they seem to be in league with Sylvester and the End Organization."
"That's crazy!" Exclaimed Jake.
"I know, but that's what Susan told me. We know very little about Cheryl or Super Porp. I do however recall that before Ash was kidnapped from the hospital, Cheryl made a surprise visit and Ash vanished from his room shortly after. That's way to much of a coincidence. So I believe that Super Porp is working with the villains." Said Bubblegum.
"Ah...and I liked their drinks." Grumbled Slippy.
"So what's the plan?" Asked Lance.
"Well some of us should go with Susan underground to investigate Super Porp, while some of use stay on the surface to defend from any trouble that might show up, while the others are away." Said Bubblegum.
"Sounds good to me." Said Finn. "I'll lead the investigation team and get us some answers."
"So who should go investigate?" Asked Betty.
"Well your going to need people who can see in dark and have incredibly good senses, so me and Lucinda should go with Finn." Said Marceline.
Lucinda nodded.
"Your going to need some light." Said Phoebe as some flames danced upon her hands.
"If were going into a factory, your going to need someone who can use electricity to power machines." Said Lance.
"If his going, I'm coming to." Said Henry.
"Drake and I will also accompany you. If this Cheryl is a threat to Ooo, then she must be stopped." Said Gearga.
"I'm coming to." Said Jake.
"No Jake. I think you should stay on the surface." Said Finn.
"But why?" Asked Jake.
"Dude, your fixing to be a daddy and it would be really bad if you got killed underground. We have no idea what we're walking into and besides if something bad happens on the surface we need one of our best guys up here to deal with it." Said Finn as he put a hand on Jake's shoulder.
"Alright man that makes sense." Said Jake as he nodded in understanding.
Simon was sending a message on his phone.
"I sent a message to Huntress Wizard telling her what's going down and she told me she was going to fetch Django and Tobe to help protect the Candy Kingdom, while the investigate team is away."
"Good we can use all the help we can get." Said Bubblegum.
Susan entered the room wearing a short sleeve shirt and some shorts.
"Susan ready to lead friends to Cheryl." Said Susan.
"Lead the way Susan." Said Finn.
Susan nodded as she and the investigation team headed out of the Candy Kingdom and towards a hole that lead underground. The mission was on.
At the Super Porp factory things were busier then normal. The worker creatures were doing their usually task, but Cheryl told them to be on high alert. The manager of the factory was checking on everything along with a small machine that projected a life size hologram of Sylvester. The two of them were in one of the back rooms, that contained a massive open pipe with running water going through it. Ultrabot was in the room with a open briefcase that contained several glass vials of purple liquid. The robot opened the vials and poured them into the water, before turning to Cheryl and Sylvester.
"The paranoia chemicals have been poured into the water vain and it should spread throughout Ooo in a matter of days. I've also added the enhancements to the factory as you ordered." Said Ultrabot.
"Well done Ultrabot. I was planning on spreading the paranoia chemicals using Super Porp soda, but since the heroes now know about the company's connection to the organization, we needed to resort to different means of spreading the chemical to the people of Ooo. Now seal up the pipe and head out." Said Sylvester.
"Sir I think I would be a more valuable asset if you let me help Cheryl in dealing with these heroes." Said Ultrabot.
"I'm sorry, Ultrabot, but I need you back at Lab 0013. The organization has already sent a few people to help Cheryl and with her workers and the building upgrades, the heroes will get more then they bargained for." Said Sylvester.
"Fine." Muttered Ultrabot as he pressed a button on his hand and teleported away.
The Sylvester hologram turned to Cheryl.
"Will be sending two of our elite fighters, plus a few new robots that have recently been built."
"Thank you sir, I will do everything I can to eliminate those heroes and cause as much havoc as I can on Ooo." Said Cheryl.
"Very good. Best of luck to you." Said Sylvester as the hologram blinked out.
Cheryl went to go prepare her forces for battle.
At Lab 0013, Sylvester looked at the containment pods that held the five warriors he had created from the heroes DNA. The Warriors needed at least a couple more days before they could be awakened. Xana had created four robots and had sent them out with Grub and Hood to aid Cheryl against the heroes. Two of the robots would deal with the heroes who entered the factory, while the other two dealt with the heroes on the surface. The upcoming battle should be interesting
Deep underground Susan was leading her friends down a cave, towards the Super Porp factory. They soon came across the large building in the middle of a water filled cave.
"Well there the factory, but how do we get in?" Said Finn.
Susan pointed at a deliver drone that was entering the building from the side. The heroes made their way towards the side and entered the building, unknowingly setting off a silent alarm.
Near the top of the building, Cheryl sat in her office, when her computer alerted her about the intruders. Cheryl tapped some buttons on her computer putting the factory on lockdown and engaging one of the building's new upgrades. A timer popped up on the screen telling the manager, when the upgrade be activated. Cheryl then went about getting the welcome party ready for the heroes.
On one of the lower levels of the factory the heroes came across a large open room filled with crates full of Super Porp soda. Everything seemed abandoned, then a large TV screen on the wall turned on and Cheryl's face appeared on the screen.
"Hello there, you are walking on Super Porp property. I'm going to have to ask you all to leave." Said Cheryl.
"Cheryl!" Shouted Susan.
"Cut the act girl, we know your in league with Sylvester and the organization, so why don't you just tell us what we want to know, or will beat it out of you." Said Marceline.
"You can't blame a girl for trying." Said Cheryl with a shrug.
Suddenly a bunch of hidden doors opened in the room and out walked the creatures who worked for the factory. The heroes starred at the creatures with disgust and horror.
"Behold Super Porp's hard working staff. I'm going to let them deal with you. Have a Super Porp day!" Said Cheryl before the screen went off.
The Super Porp Employees, let out battle cries as they charged forward. Susan let out a roar as she grabbed the nearest crate of Super Porp and hurled it at a bunch of onrushing Employees. The crate smashed sending the Employees flying and spilling the soda all over the ground. A bunch of the Employees ran over to the spilled soda and began to lick it off the ground. Drake took this opportunity to leap into the air to leap and slammed his fist onto the ground sending a powerful shockwave that sent all the Employees flying! The Employees crashed to the ground and into the walls, but they soon staggered to their feet and charged at the heroes.
Finn ran about punching and kicking the enemies, as Phoebe fired a tiny burst of fire at some of the Employees forcing to shout in fear and retreat through one of doors they had used to enter the room. Marceline and Lucinda were back to back as they delivered powerful punches to any foes that got to close to them. Gearga raced about knocking out the enemy with the back of her sword as Drake and Susan sent dozens of Employees flying using their great strength. Lance and Henry were knocking the dozens of enemies back using their powers. It seemed like the heroes were winning, but the Employees were relentless. One Employee managed to get behind Finn and tried to wrestle him to the ground, but Phoebe knocked him off with a punch.
"Man these guys just keep coming!" Said Finn.
"I got an idea to deal with these guys. Henry let's give these guys a drink." Said Lance as he blasted a bunch of crates spilling soda everywhere on the floor.
The Employees ran over to the spilled soda and began to greedily drink it. Henry fired a blast of water at them getting them and the floor around them wet. Lance then touched his hands to the wet floor sending a burst of electrify through it shocking all the Employees and knocking them out.
"Awesome moves guys!" Cheered Lucinda as she patted Henry on the back.
"It was nothing." Said Henry with a little blush.
Cheryl's face reappeared on the TV screen.
"Well done. You managed to survive my welcoming party. Now the real fun can begin."
"Bring it on!" Said Finn.
"Okie dokey! Oh one for thing, I have a special surprise for you in Ooo. It will be ready in an hour. Tata!" Said Cheryl before the TV went off.
"Come we must hurry, whatever Cheryl's surprise is it can't be good." Said Gearga.
The heroes nodded in agreement as they rushed through a door and began to go to a higher level of the building.
At the Candy Kingdom, Jake was hanging out with Simon and Betty in the courtyard and asking for parenting advice from them.
"I'm real excited to be a day and all, but I'm real nervous! What if I hurt them or accidentally mental scar them for life or something!" Said Jake.
"It'll be ok Jake, I'm sure you'll make a great father." Said Betty.
"Look I just need some pointers, you two are experts who can give me some tips." Said Jake as he looked at the couple for help.
"Alright Jake, will give you some advice. You need to love your children and protect them from harm, but don't be to overly protective. There are some minor pains a child needs to know and that knowledge will help them learn and prepare for the future. You need to protect them from the big things and teach them right from wrong If your too overly protective the children will grow to dislike you and they will believe you don't trust them. A bond between a parent and their child is a very sacred thing and it needs to be built on a foundation of trust and understanding." Said Simon.
"Whoa! That's some deep stuff. Thanks for the info." Said Jake as he took out a notepad and wrote everything that Simon told him down.
"My pleasure Jake. It's my duty as a parent and a teacher to help others along. And if it makes you feel better I think you'll be a great parent." Said Simon.
"Thanks man." Said Jake with a big old grin.
The moment was interrupted by a loud crash outside the castle. Jake, Simon, Betty, Slippy, and Mom rushed to the castle wall to see what was going on. A few hundred yards away there was a smoking crater.
"We better go check it out. Slippy you and Momo guard the wall." Said Simon before he Betty, and Jake used their powers to head towards the crater.
By chance Huntress Wizard, Django, and Tobe had been heading towards the Candy Kingdom, when they saw something fall from the sky and crash into the ground. The trio arrived on the scene at the same time as Simon, Betty, and Jake.
"What is it?" Asked Huntress Wizard as she and the others peered inside the crater.
Inside the crater was a large silver metal pod. The pod suddenly opened up and two sixteen tall robots got out. The robots had round bodies that stood on four long scythe like appendages. The robots had six glowing white eyes in the front and a strange eye symbol on the top of their bodies. The group didn't know that the robots were called Krabs.
(Author's Note: Xana's robots are the Krab monsters from Code Lyoko.)
The Krabs scuttled out of the crater and faced the heroes.
"What do they want?" Asked Tobe as he rested his hands on the hilts of his swords.
The ninja got his answer, when the Krabs started shooting lasers at them. The heroes scattered as Tobe drew one of his swords and started deflecting the laser blast. Huntress Wizard ran to the side and fired an arrow with a long rope attached to it. The arrow hit one Krab in the side and became stuck. The robot turned to the female wizard and charged at her, but before it could reach her, Simon and Betty froze the ground in front of the robot causing it to slip and fall to the ground. Huntress Wizard took this opportunity to tie the Krab's legs up. The robot struggled to break free, but couldn't. Simon stepped forward to study the robot and eyed the eye symbol on it's head. The ice wizard fired a burst of lighting at the symbol, hitting it and making the Krab explode!
Tobe was still deflecting laser blast from the other Krabb, when the robot decided to change tactics. It stopped firing and charged forward bringing one of it's scythe like legs down at Tobe. The ninja blocked it with his sword, but it was taking all his strength to hold the rampaging robot off.
"Take this!" Shouted Jake as he came in and punched the Krab from the side with a giant fist.
The Krab staggered back unbalanced and Tobe charged forward slicing off one of the robot's legs. The Krab fell to the ground with a thud, before it could get up, Django fired an energy blast from his guitar hitting the eye symbol and destroying the robot.
"Well that takes care of those creeps." Said Jake.
"Yes, but the question is who sent them and why did they only send two?" Said Simon as he study the wrecked remains of the Krabs.
Miles away at Lab 0013, Xana had seen the battle through the Krabs eyes and was collecting battle data for a special project. Inside a nearby lab several mechanical arms were building a metal skeleton.
Back at the Super Porp factory Finn and the others were making their way to the top of the building. The fought their way through some Employees as they made their way higher and higher, until finally they reached the top floor and entered a large room with a large blue glowing sphere. A TV with a slow clicking timer sat next to the sphere. The timer had only a minute left on it.
"Well whatever, Cheryl had planned, that sphere must be it." Said Drake.
"Time to shut this place down!" Said Finn as he pulled out his sword and charged forward.
Before the young hero could reach the sphere a purple ball landed on the ground near him and exploded knocking the hero back.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you ruin the surprise."
Cheryl came in from above riding a modified delivery drone like a glider. The drone had spikes and guns sticking out of the front of it. The mascot floated before the heroes ready to fight.
"You can't keep all of us from reaching that sphere." Said Phoebe as she glared up at the villain.
"Oh I know that, so I brought some friends with me." Said Cheryl as a bunch of hidden doors opened up.
In walked Grub, Hood, two Krabs and a few dozen Employees. The ground started to shake a little as a purple goo oozed out changing into a massive twenty foot tall dog like Employee. The heroes eyed their enemies taking them in. They were interrupted by their thoughts by a beeping noise. Everybody looked over to see that the timer had reached zero. The building started to shake violently.
"What's going on?" Shouted Henry.
"Some kind of secret weapon must have been triggered!" Shouted Drake.
Below the factory rockets poked out from the bottom and the building began to rise up as it sprouted three massive metal tentacles with claws. One of the claws pointed upwards as it fired a massive laser up at the cave celling and fired a powerful laser that blew a hole through to the surface. The factory flew up through the hole and onto the surface.
(Author's Note: Yes this is a Sunset Overdrive reference to the final boss.)
The room the heroes and villains were in suddenly rose up and they were now on the top of the building. The heroes starred in shock as they saw the factory's massive claws moving about preparing to fire lasers.
"The factory was the weapon?" Asked Finn.
"Indeed it was and its going to wreck some havoc on Ooo!" Cheered Cheryl.
"Not if we stop you!" Declared Gearga.
"You might, but the weapons on this building are incredibly long range. I think we can hit a few kingdoms and villages from our current positions." Said Cheryl.
At that moment the robot claws rose up and fired three large laser blast in three separate directions. The first laser blast hit the Maunder village destroying several huts and setting a few others on fire, the second laser blast hit the Wildberry Kingdom destroying a good portion of the castle, and the third laser blast hit the Breakfast Kingdom doing heavy damage to the kingdom and causing maple syrup to flood the village. All three locations took heavy casualties.
"Your plan ends here you psycho!" Shouted Finn as he and his allies charged forward.
The villains charged forward and the battle began.
Drake faced off against Grub. The villain swung his club at the dragon man forcing him to step to the side. Grub swung his flail at Drake, whipping him across the face leaving a scar. The villain swung his flail, but this time Drake caught Grub's by the arm. Grub swung his club at Drake, but the dragon man caught that as well. The villain tried to escape Drake's grip, but he couldn't. Grub then blasted a Drake with a wave of fire from his fire crown, but it had no affect on the dragon man.
"My turn." Said Drake as he blasted Grub with a blast of fire breath.
Grub's skin darkened and he fell to the ground in a heap. Drake released Grub and charged at a bunch of Employees.
Gearga was facing off against Hood. The villain tried to zap Gearga with one of his wands, but she charged forward deflecting the blasts. Hood pulled out his sword and tried to take the hero down with a thrust, but Gearga sidestepped the blow and delivered a solid punch to Hood's face knocking him to the ground in a heap.
Marceline, Lucinda, Lance, and Henry faced off against the two Krabs. The cousins and mutants dodged about avoiding laser blasts as the Krabs fired at them. Lance and Henry then fired a blast of water and electricity at the Krabs causing them to fall onto the ground. Marceline and Lucinda then flew forward and smashed their weapons down on the Krabs's heads hitting the eye symbol and causing them to explode.
Finn and Susan were facing off against the giant dog Employee. The Employee swung it's massive paws down and pinned Susan to the ground. Finn rushed at the monster to try and free Susan, but the Employee just swatted him away with one paw. This managed to free one of Susan's hands and she slammed it down on one of the Employee's fingers! The monster roared in pain as he released Susan. The big human jumped onto the Employee's knee, then she jumped up again to deliver a powerful punch to the beast's face! The creature roared in pain as it feel to it's back. Susan pumped her fist in the air for victory. The Employee quickly recovered and slammed Susan to the ground. The beast laughed as it looked down at the human, but before it could do anything, Finn came leaping in and sliced the creatures face making it wail in pain as it released Susan and hit the ground. Susan got up and delivered a punch to the Employee's head knocking it out.
Phoebe chased after Cheryl through the sky. The mascot was flying around on her glider firing lasers and missiles at the young princess, but the fire elemental would just dodge the attacks or destroy the missiles. Cheryl then fired a few heat seekers at Phoebe, but the princess thought quickly and fired a couple of large fireballs away from herself and got the missiles to hit the fireballs instead of her. The fire elemental then fired a blast of fire that stuck the right wing of the glider making Cheryl lose control and race back towards the factory roof.
Susan saw Cheryl flying towards the roof and used the unconscious dog Employee as a springboard to leap up into the air and punch Cheryl in the face knocking her mask off and knocking the mascot off her glider. Cheryl flew through the air and crashed on the ground near the sphere. The glider flew into the air out of control.
The rest of the heroes were done finishing off the rest of the Employees as they all approached the down Cheryl. The mascot looked up at Phoebe as she landed before her. Cheryl's true face was a violet slime creature with a mouth and eyes. The villain looked around at her defeated forces, she saw Grub and Hood vanish in a flash of light and wondered if her creator would teleport her to safety, but after a few seconds Cheryl realized there would be no rescue for her. Cheryl staggered to her feet and pressed a small button on his wristband. Up above the glider was receiving a call signal telling it to come to Cheryl at full speed. The glider raced back to Cheryl.
"It looks like, you heroes beat me. It's the end of Super Porp." Said Cheryl.
"Tell us what you know about the organization." Said Finn.
"Oh I'll tell...you this. If I'm dying I'm at least going to take one of you with me!" Declared Cheryl.
Finn head a noise and turned to see the glider racing towards Cheryl and Phoebe.
"Phoebe!" Shouted Finn as he tackled Phoebe to the ground.
"Oh...!" Said Cheryl as the glider sped forward over the bodies of Finn and Phoebe and impaled her on it's spikes!
The glider went through Cheryl and stabbed itself into the sphere behind her. Cheryl just hung there with her mouth open in a scream as the sphere cracked. Then the sphere exploded vaporizing Cheryl and the glider. The building's tentacles then dropped as the rockets went off and the entire structure started leaning towards it's side and began falling.
"Everybody abandon building!" Shouted Finn as Phoebe grabbed him and flew him to safety.
Drake took off his shirt and changed into his dragon form as he gave Gearga and Susan a lift. Marceline and Lance took flight, as Lucinda picked up Henry and followed them. The factory crashed to the ground and began to explode and collapses. Soon the entire building was a wrecked piece of junk. The heroes landed on the ground and surveyed the scene. Phoebe looked over at Finn and kissed him on the lips.
"That was for saving me."
"Your welcome." Said Finn as he blushed a little.
The heroes decided to head back to the Candy Kingdom and explained what happened, though they hadn't learned anything new about the organization, they had at least defeated one of it's members and stopped a doomsday machine.
At Lab 0013, Sylvester was starring at the pods that contained the DNA warriors. The pods were ready to be drained and the Warriors were ready to be awakened. Soon the heroes would meet their match.
In another room at the lab, Xana was finishing work on it's newest creation. On a lab table was an android that had the appearance of a human boy, with black hair, with a small white Xana symbol on his forehead, and wearing a black suit with red strips along the side with a black Xana symbol on the chest. Near the android was a massive Zweihander sword with the Xana symbol on the side.
A screen near the android flashed a couple of words.
Awaken Doppelsöldner and do my will.
The android's eyes opened up revealing two cold black eyes.
A bunch of new terrors had been born and the were gunning for the heroes of Ooo.
(Author's Note: that's right folks I'm bringing William into the story as an android. The name Doppelsöldner was William's avatar name in Code Lyoko, don't worry I'll have him go by William in a future chapter, but right now I'm trying to go for an Ultron and Vision thing for these characters. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.)
To be continued.
