Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
Deep within some woods in Ooo, there was a large manor the size of a small castle. The manor was old and grey with a large iron fence surrounding it. The manor was where Alister the Vampire King lived. Currently it was nighttime and there were a few hundred recently turned vampires in the manor's courtyard. All the vampires were the missing people in Ooo. There were candy people, slime people, goblins, gnomes, fairies, slider guys, hooligans, Marauders, and a few flame people in the crowd. All of them had fangs and glowing red eyes. To the side stood Alister, who was speaking with Don John.
"I must admit that's quit an army you have gathered." Said Don John.
"Thank you, but this is only the beginning. Once you do that spell my forces will spread like wildfire all throughout Ooo and I will help you conquer the Fire Kingdom." Said Alister.
"I will be ready to cast the spell in two days. I have almost have all the items I need and I found a volcano that will provide us with what we need." Said Don John.
"Excellent, until then I shall take some of my forces and pay an old enemy of mine a visit and take some sweet long awaited revenge." Said Alister before he went over to address the crowd of vampires.
The vampires went silent as they looked at their leader the one responsible for giving them this new dark power.
"Attention my children. Tonight is a very special night. Two days from now you will be able to roam around unhindered and spread the glorious gift of vampirism across the world!"
The crowd of vampires cheered wildly. Alister waited for them to quit down before he continued speaking.
"But alas my children, there is one person, who will stand in our way. A so called hero and she is a traitor to her own kind! I gave this person the same gift I gave you all and how dose she thank me? I tell you how, she used her powers against me, killed my wife and scared my face!" Snarled Alister as he ripped the mask off from the right side of his face for everyone to see. "For nearly a thousand years that women, who did this to me has run around and used her powers to fight on the so called side of justice! That person's name is Marceline! Tonight I shall take a select few of you and we shall journey to the traitor's house and take my vengeance out upon her and kill all those living with her!"
The vampires cheered and roared, with crazed glee. Alister smiled wickedly at his forces. The King of the Vampires selected sixty of his troops to go with him, while the rest remained at the manor. Alister took to the air followed by his troops. It would be a night of murder.
At Marceline's house, Marceline, Lucinda, Henry, and Lance were watching an old zombie movie on tv. Marceline and Lucinda laughed at the cheesiness of the movie and compared it to their own past experience of dealing with zombie like creatures.
"Just look at those guys trying to defend that house, they know the zombies's weakness, but their just wasting their energy and ammo." Said Marceline.
"They're just working up for the big climax. What's really dumb is that the survivors have the zombies coming from every direction, instead of forcing them to come in from one direction. If the zombies came in from one direction then they would be easy to deal with them." Said Lucinda.
"Well at least we don't have to deal with Lumpy Space Princess's yelling at every character and scene." Said Lance.
"Yeah she totally freaked out during that alien flick we invited her to watch with us last week." Said Henry.
Marceline and Lucinda nodded in agreement. Twenty minutes later the movie was overs do the group decided to retire for the night. Marceline and Lance went to their room, while Lucinda and Henry went to their own. The couples were just getting into bed, when both Marceline and Lucinda's super natural senses began to pick something unusual up. Marceline wondered towards the window to look outside, when suddenly the window exploded and in flew a vampire candy person, who tackled Marceline to the ground hissing.
"Marceline!" Shouted Lance as he tried to run over and help his girlfriend.
At the moment a vampire gnome flew in from the destroyed window and grabbed Lance from behind. Lance let out a startled shout as he tried to yank his attacker off. Marceline glared up at the vampire candy person with annoyance.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Demanded Marceline.
"We are children of the night, here to kill you in the name of Alister the Vampire King!" Hissed the candy person.
"Well, your going to have to do better then this creep!" Said Marceline as she yanked her hands free and pushed the vampire off of her with ease.
The vampire hissed as he and Marceline stood up to face one another. Marceline glanced outside and saw several pairs of red glowing eyes in the darkness. This was a full frontal assault! Several of the shadowy figures were detaching themselves from the main group and were racing towards Marceline's window. The candy person leaped at Marceline with a roar, but the vampire hero was ready for him. Marceline shot a kick into the candy person's gut knocking the air out of him, before Marceline grabbed him by his arms and hurled him out through the window making him crash into several of the advancing shadowy figures knocking them down. Lance finally managed to grab the gnome that was attacking him and sent a bunch of electricity through it's body making it let go. Lance then grabbed the stunned gnome and hurled him out the window, striking a vampire goblin in the face making him topple from the window with a scream.
Marceline and Lance looked out the window at all the shadowy figures glaring at them.
"Looks like we just fell into a horror movie scenario." Said Lance.
Before Marceline could reply there was the sound of breaking glass from Lucinda and Henry's room. The vampire hero and mutant exchanged a look and quickly rushed off to go help their friends.
Lucinda and Henry were facing off against a vampire slider guy and a vampire Marauder. Henry was facing off against the slider guy, while Lucinda faced off against the Marauder. The slider guy flew at Henry and swung a fist at him, but the mutant dodged it and punched the vampire in the face making him stagger back. The vampire hissed angrily and charged at Henry who blasted him with a blast of water sending the slider guy flying out the window and made him crash into a group of vampire fairies trying to get into the house. The Marauder was throwing several punches at Lucinda, who just kept blocking them with ease. The werewolf got annoyed with the vampire's attacks and grabbed both his arms preventing him from punching. The Marauder tried to break free, but he couldn't. Lucinda then delivered a mighty kick between the Marauder's legs! Henry winced and the vampire gasped in pain as Lucinda released him and he fell to his knees grasping the hurt area. Lucinda grabbed the wounded Marauder by the seat of his pants and hurled him out the window hitting a few vampire hooligans.
Marceline and Lance arrived on the scene and took everything in.
"You two ok?" Asked Marceline.
"Yeah, but I have a feeling this is going to be a long night." Said Lucinda as she indicated all the vampires outside.
The crowd of vampires hissed and jeered at the heroes. A few vampires suddenly lit some torches, while a few vampire flame people made their flames rise up revealing the mix of vampires in the crowds. Then the horde suddenly parted and their stood Alister the Vampire King grinning up at the heroes.
"Alister!" Hissed Marceline with venom.
"Who?" Asked Lance.
"The jerk, who bit my neck and tried to turn me into one of his undead puppets, but I refused and I redecorated his face to show everyone how ugly he really is." Said Marceline.
"Hello Marceline, it's been a while." Said Alister.
"What do you want you psycho?" Demanded Marceline.
"Oh it's simple really. I want revenge. I'm going to kill you and everybody in that house you care about." Said Alister.
"To afraid to come face us on your own? You needed to bring a small army to back you up?" Asked Lucinda with a smirk.
Alister just glared at the werewolf with annoyance. The Vampire King raised one of his hands up summoning a bunch of hooligan vampires and a few flame people vampires to his side. The hooligans held torches, while the flame people had fireballs conjured up on their hands.
"Burn them all!" Ordered Alister.
The hooligans threw their torches and the flame people fired their fireballs at the house. Henry quickly took action by firing a huge blast of water at the flaming projectiles putting them out. The mutant then fire a blast of water at the assailants knocking down the hooligans and extinguishing the flame people killing them. The rest of the vampires roared angrily and two dozen of them flew at the house ready to tear the heroes apart. Lance appeared next to Henry and the two of them raised their hands and fired a combined blast of water and electricity at the on rushing attackers knocking them out of the air and into a twitching heap.
"Awesome!" Cheered Lucinda as Henry and Lance fist bumped one another.
The other vampires were outraged and the ones that had been knocked down by the combo attack were slowly getting back up. Alister was getting annoyed at his troops failures, so he decided to deal with his enemies personally. The Vampire King flew forward prepared to stab his hands into Lance and Henry's chest, when Marceline flew in and intercepted him knocking them both away from the house. The heroes were slightly stunned by the quick actions of the two older vampires, but before any of them could voice their thoughts the rest of the vampire army flew forward to attack.
"Hit them hard!" Shouted Lance as he and Henry fired their combo attack and knocked down several of the vampires.
A few vampires managed to avoid the attack and charged at the mutants, but Lucinda was ready for them. The werewolf dropped kick a vampire Maunder in the chest, slammed two slider guys heads together, stomped on a slime person, and uppercutted a hooligan. But for every vampire, Lucinda took down more seemed to charge forward and a few got past her and headed towards the two mutants. Lance grabbed a fairy and shot some electricity into it before he hurled the tiny undead at a candy person knocking him down. Henry kicked a gnome away as he blasted some slime people with a blast of water.
"At this rate, they'll overrun us with sheer numbers!" Shouted Lucinda as she grabbed a slider guy and smashed him into some candy people.
"Wait a minute this is just like that scene in that horror movie!" Shouted Lance as he blasted some gnomes with electricity.
"What do you mean?" Asked Lucinda.
"Well the zombies had a huge weakness, but the heroes didn't use it to their advantage until it was to late. These vampires have a huge weakness and we have a way to beat them all at once." Said Lance.
"What's that?" Asked Henry as he punched a hooligan and blasted him away with a blast of water.
"Holly water." Said Lance.
Lucinda and Henry exchanged a look.
"But what about Marceline? She'll get destroyed to!" Said Lucinda.
"I'll make sure she's safe. I'm going to cause a little distraction and you two get to work on that holly water, but first cover your eyes." Said Lance as his hands sparked with energy.
Lucinda and Henry covered their eyes as Lance unleashed a blinding flash of light blinding and confusing all the vampires.
"Go!" Shouted Lance as he ran off to help Marceline.
Henry and Lucinda uncovered their eyes and quickly went to work. Henry gathered up a bunch of water around them and Lucinda touched it to begin blessing it.
Several yards away, Marceline was wrestling with Alister on the ground. Marceline was on top of Alister and was punching him several times. Alister snarled as he slammed a fist into Marceline's face knocking her off of him. The King of the Vampires scrambled to his feet and advanced towards his hated enemy. Marceline snarled at Alister and slammed her foot into his gut making him double over in pain. The vampire then leaped at Alister, but the villain quickly recovered and grabbed Marceline and then he gave her an uppercut. Marceline flew into the air and crashed into the cave celling above empaling her left shoulder on a stalactite. The girl screamed in pain, before she managed to yank herself off the stalactite and crashed to the ground below. Alister smirked as he yanked a baseball bat size stalagmite out of the ground and approached Marceline.
"You have no idea, how long I've waited for this moment. To see you on the ground battered, beaten, and at my mercy!" Shouted Alister as he swung the stalagmite like a bat and hit Marceline in the face with it.
Marceline screamed in pain as she was knocked to her side. Alister moved forward laughing wickedly as he swung his club and continued to strike Marceline again and again. After a few swings Alister stopped.
"Ouch. Now that last swing looked like it really hurt. Now tell me something what hurts more forehand or backhand? I want to make sure you suffer painfully, until my vengeance is satisfied." Said Alister as he looked down at Marceline with a sadistic grin on his face.
Marceline glared up at Alister and spat a glob of blood into his face. Alister wiped the blood off with a finger and licked it.
"That was rude, but on the other hand I got a little taste of your blood and I can still taste the fight in it. It seems I need to do a little more work before I crush your spirit. So I'm just going to continue with hitting you with this stalagmite." Said Alister as he prepared to hit Marceline again.
"Your not hurting her anymore!" Shouted a voice from behind.
Alister turned around just in time to see Lance charging at him. The mutant shot his hands out and placed them on Alister's face. Before the vampire could do anything, Lance shot a huge burst of electricity through his hands and into Alister's face! The King of the Vampires screamed in pain as his face was badly burnt and he hair stood up. There was a small explosion of light and Alister flew a few yards away from Lance and crashed into the ground a few yards away in a smoking heap. Lance went over to the battered form of Marceline and cradled her in his arms.
"You ok?" Asked Lance with concern.
"I've...been better, but I'll be ok." Said Marceline with groan.
"Good. I know your tired, but I need you to turn into a bat for a few seconds and stay close to me." Said Lance.
"Alright." Said Marceline as she changed into a tiny black bat with blue eyes.
Lance held the tiny bat to his chest and covered her with his body. At that moment Henry released the holly water at the vampires. The vampires closes to Henry and Lucinda were instantly destroyed, the other vampires were hit by a few droplets and their skin began to smoke. The vampires screamed in pain before they melted into a pile of ash. Henry hurled spheres of holly water at the vampires making them scream and run for their undead lives as the spheres exploded getting various parts of the cave wet. Lance shield Marceling from the holly water with his body. Alister stumbled to his feet and saw the carnage and destruction of his troops. A shiver of fear went down the Vampire King's spine as he recognized the signs of holly water. Alister did not wish to be hit by holly water again, so he turned and flew towards the cave exit. The fleeing villain shouted one last threat at his enemies.
"Enjoy this victory, while it last. Soon I will have a massive army of vampires and we shall conquer this world. There will be no place for you to hide from my vengeance Marceline Abadeer!"
A few vampires saw Alister retreating and quickly flew after him. Of the sixty vampires that had aided Alister with his attack on Marceline's house, only eight had managed to survive and flee the scene.
Marceline turned back into her human form and laid in Lance's lap. Lucinda and Henry walked over to see how Marceline was doing. After seeing that she was going to be ok the group decided to head into the house. Lance carried Marceline into the house and laid her in bed to rest. The heroes decided they need to alert their allies about the impending threat. The Vampire King was up to something big and all of Ooo was in danger.
To be continued.
