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

(Author's Note: Here is the last back story chapter for my characters. Hope you enjoy.)

A week after the big team up between the heroes of and the heroes of Ooo and Aaa, things settled down in Ooo and everybody went about their business. A few of the heroes went to live in new locations. Tobe moved in with Doctor Princess and Lance and Henry moved in with Marceline and Lucinda. Though there was a bit of strife between the Candy Kingdom and Castle Lemongrab everything else was calm in Ooo.

At the Peace Protectors's base, Drake, Momo, and Slippy were preparing a little party for Gearga, who was out on a small diplomatic mission in the Slime Kingdom. The party was for Gearga's birthday.

"Hurry up with that banner Drake." Called Slippy as he was putting some streamers up.

"There got it." Said Drake as he hung a huge happy birthday banner in the main room.

The other Peace Protectors went to admire it.

"Hard to believe that it's been nearly two years since we formed this group." Said Momo.

"Who ever thought that a group of weirdos and oddballs could make, such an affective peace keeping organization." Said Slippy.

"It's thanks to Lady Gearga's determination and will, she saw potential in use and she helped shape us into what today and I'm grateful for that." Said Drake.

The others nodded in agreement as they all stared at the banner and thought back to the day they each met Gearga.

Momo Flashback

Momo was walking through the woods, when she heard someone cry out in fear followed by evil laughter off in the distance. Curious as to what it was Momo crept forward silently until she reached a large clearing, where she saw a young bluebird being bullied by three nasty grey skinned trolls with big bellies and loincloths.

"Dance for us little birdie or will clip your wings!" Laughed one troll as he poked the frightened bird with a dirty claw.

The frighten bird burst into a little jig and the trolls laughed. Momo looked at the trolls with disgust. Bullying was wrong and Momo planned to help the bird. Looking around Momo found a rock and tossed it at one of the trolls, before she quickly ducked behind a tree. The rock struck the troll hard and he angrily turned on one of his fellow trolls, believing he hit him.

"You hit me you numbskull!"

"I did not wart face!" Snarled the other troll.

The first troll angrily struck at the second troll cursing and snarling. Soon the two of them were wrestling, while the third troll tried to break them up. While, they were distracted Momo ran into the clearing and scooped the bluebird up prepared to take her to safety, but unfortunately the third troll managed to glance over at the bluebird and saw Momo and quickly alerted the other two trolls. The group immediately surrounded Momo and the bluebird.

"We don't like people messing with our fun." Sneered the first troll.

"Well I don't like people tormenting and bullying others, so I guess we're even." Replied Momo trying to sound brave.

"Oh I'm going to enjoy this!" Laughed the third troll as he cracked his knuckles.

Momo closed her eyes and braced herself for the punch she was expecting to feel.

Thunk!

Momo opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the the third troll, who just stood there. The other two trolls looked at their companion in confusion. The third troll let out a moan as he fell onto his face, to reveal a women standing behind holding a sheathed sword.

"Why you little rat!" Snarled the first troll as he stormed towards the women to attack.

The women thrusted the handle of her sword up and uppercutted the troll sending him crashing to the ground in an unconscious heap. As soon as the troll hit the ground the women leaped at the remaining troll and delivered a powerful kick to his gut knocking the air out of him and making him collapse to the ground in a heap. Momo and the bluebird starred at the women in awe as she walked over to them.

"Are you two alright?"

"We are, thanks to you." Said Momo.

The women nodded and the bluebird thanked both of his rescuers before flying off. Momo turned to see the women walking off and she ran off after her.

"Hey wait, that was amazing what you did back there." Said Momo.

"It was nothing." Said the women.

"It wasn't nothing! You swooped in and took those guys down with ease. The best I could have done was bruised one of their knees." Said Momo.

"Don't sell your self short. You were brave and you tried to help." Said the women.

"But...it wasn't enough. I want to help people and protect this land." Said Momo.

The women studied Momo for a few seconds and smiled.

"I can see you have heart and you truly want to help others, if you want you can come with me. I am forming a peace keeping force to protect this land and I can use someone like you."

"You really mean...it?" Asked Momo.

"I do. Now what is your name?"

"I am Momo."

"Nice to meet you Momo. I'm Gearga." Said the women.

Slippy Flashback

Slippy was tinkering around in an old boathouse that served as his home. The place was covered in all kinds of weird gadgets and gizmos. You see Slippy had an odd love of building and creating gadgets. People thought he was weird, but he didn't really care.

Slippy was adding the finishing touches to a grappling gun, when he heard a knock at his door, he pulled out a remote and pressed a button on it making the door open. In walked a human women followed by a bunny girl.

"Hello there." Said Slippy as he watched his two visitors glance around at all the gadgets before they approached him.

"You got quit a collection." Said the women.

"I do, see anything you want to buy or trade for?" Asked Slippy.

"Well I'm here to give you a job opportunity." Said the women.

"What kind of job?" Asked Slippy curiously.

"I'm putting together a peace keeping team to help protect Ooo and I need someone with brains and has a knack for technology. You interested?"

Slippy thought for a moment. This was the first time anyone had asked him to join anything and this job sounded like the best opportunity to test his skills.

"Alright you can count me in." Said Slippy as he shook the women's hand.

"Good to have you. I'm Gearga and this is Momo. I have a feeling we're going to work well together."

Drake Flashback

Drake was in his humanoid form resting in his cave. The dragon was only wearing a loincloth as he rested against one of the cave walls. Drake was a loner, who felt like he really didn't belong anywhere in the world. He was to monstrous in appearance, but he wasn't savage enough in combat to be considered a monster. It seemed that Drake would live alone for the rest of his life.

The dragon became distracted from his thoughts by some noise outside the cave. Drake let out a growl it was either another monster or a group of poachers that wanted to take the mighty beast down. Drake changed into his dragon form and stomped outside ready for a fight, but instead of finding a monster or a group of poachers outside, he found a human, a frog man, and a bunny girl. The human starred up at Drake calmly, while her two companions looked like they were about to bolt and run for their lives.

"Who are you?" Demanded Drake as smoke bellowed from his nostrils.

"I am Gearga and these are my friends Momo and Slippy." Said the human.

"Why are you here?" Asked Drake.

"I'm here to offer you a job." Said Gearga.

"What kind of job do you need a monster like me for?" Asked Drake slightly curious.

"Well for the record I don't see you as a monster. A monster destroys and kills the innocent. You have done neither of those things, which makes me believe there's more to you then meets the eye." Said Gearga.

Drake was taken aback by these words. Usually when most people saw him they saw a savage creature, yet this women was able to figure out that there was more to him then his appearance.

"I'm creating a team to help protect the peace in Ooo and I can use someone with your great strength. The people will see you as a monster, but they will eventually see you as the good person, you really are. I know your a creature who prefers being alone, but there is no one who can bear complete solitude. You can either join us or simply continue on living the way you are now. The choice is yours." Said Gearga.

Drake thought this over. After a moment he transformed into his more humanoid form and offered Gearga, his hand.

"Alright I'll join your group."

"Good to have you aboard." Said Gearga as she shook Drake's hand.

Present Day

Gearga arrived back at the base and when she opened the door her team surprised her.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Gearga was at first surprised, but then she smiled and laughed.

"Awe you guys are so sweet!"

The rest of the night was full of laughs and merrymaking between the Peace Protectors. It was a joyous occasion and every member of the group was happy.
