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

After the attack on Marceline's house, Lucinda made some calls to several of the other heroes. Soon Finn, Phoebe, Jake, Simon, Betty, Django, Tobe, Huntress Wizard, and the Peace Protectors were all gather in Marceline's living room. Marceline and Lucinda explained to everyone what happened and the others grew concerned about the situation especially about what Alister could have planned for Ooo.

"Do we have any idea where Alister is and what's he planning?" Asked Finn.

"No idea, he and what was left of his goons retreated and we were all pretty tired after the fight to go after them." Said Lance.

"Let me see if I can figure anything out." Said Huntress Wizard before she walked out of the house and began to examine the ashy remains of the vampires.

The others followed her out and watched as Huntress Wizard began to draw some symbols in the ashes and say a spell.

"Wind of time and rewind, show us where the master of this deceased one lives!"

A blast of wind blew into the cave and scoped up the ashes swirling them around in the air. Huntress Wizard turned to her friends.

"These ashes will lead us to where Alister lives."

"It's time we put an end to this creep!" Said Marceline as she grabbed her ax.

Everybody ran out of the cave and the ashes flew out heading East, with the heroes right behind. Finn was riding Jake, Huntress Wizard, Tobe, and Django were riding on the Peace Protectors's tank, and everybody else was flying. The heroes were on the move.

At Alister's manor the Vampire King and his surviving attack force were healing up. Alister was resting in private quarters, as he furiously thought about his defeat and losses, but he got over it as he thought about his master plan working out. At that moment Don John knocked and walked into the room.

"I take it, your little revenge trip failed miserably." Said Don John with a smirk.

"Don't get cocky with me wizard! Those teens only got lucky, soon it won't matter once we launch our plan." Said Alister.

"Yes the plan, speaking of the plan I've taken the initiative to recruit several warriors of the organization to help guard the volcano including Pyro's pets." Said Don John.

"Good. I will send some of my elite guards to accompany you along with a good number of my new recruits to help guard the volcano. My remaining forces and I will join you tomorrow night for the final stage of the plan." Said Alister.

Don John nodded as he left the room and headed towards the courtyard where forty of Alister's elite troops were waiting with a hundred and twenty recently turned vampires behind them. The elite vampires had all been normal human men and women once before the Mushroom War, until Alister recruited them. They all wore black clothes. Don John eyed the vampires before he took flight. The vampires followed him.

The manor wasn't completely deserted, they're were still a dozen elite vampires and sixty recently turned vampires on the manor's grounds. Alister walked out onto a balcony and observed the night sky. Soon, the King of the Vampires and his forces would be able to roam around without fear of the sun. Then the vampires would spread and the world would belong to Alister. The King of the Vampires planned to betray Don John and then go after the rest of the Organization with his army. For to long the Vampire King had been forced to work under the feet of lesser beings. It was time for the Vampire King to take his destiny by the horns and become the master of the world!

"All in due time." Chuckled Alister as he continued to look up at the night sky.

A few thousand yards away the heroes were crouched behind some trees looking at the manor. The ashes laid on the ground a few feet away. Huntress Wizard was using magic to survey doing a headcount, while Gearga used night vision goggles. The courtyard had about swixety vampires laying about. Some vampires were roughhousing with one another, while a few talked and and watched. Huntress Wizard and Gearga turned to their companions.

"We count about sixty vampires outside, but we have no clue how many of them are inside the manor." Said Gearga.

"I guess will have to deal with the guys outside then we can deal with whoever is left in the manor." Said Finn.

The others nodded and began to gear up.

Inside the manor, Alister was sitting at the head of a large dinning table with his elite vampires drinking red wine. A heavyset vampire with thin black hair and a double chin stood up to address Alister.

"My lord should I go down to the cells and drain all the prisoners of their blood for this wondrous occasion?"

"No not yet Hager. I need to make a toast." Said Alister as he stood up to address his troops. "My elites, I thank you all for your years of loyalty. You will all be rewarded for your services in my new world. Since the dawn of time, we've been the masters of the night and the only thing we feared was the sun, but soon we will no longer have to fear the sun and soon this planet will belong to use! This will be the planet of the vampires and after we conquer it we shall spread out throughout the universe and conquer every planet!"

The vampires cheered and raised their glasses with the Vampire King. It was at that moment that the Peace Protectors fired a blast from their tank into the courtyard causing a huge explosion and killing ten vampire recruits. A look of annoyance appeared on Alister's face as he and the elite vampires went over to the window to see what was going on. The Peace Protectors came barreling in with their tank causing the vampire recruits to scatter in confusion, then Gearga and her team leaped out of the tank to attack. A few of the vampires tried to retaliate, but some arrows flew from the sky and pierced their chest killing them instantly. Huntress Wizard and the rest of the heroes appeared in the courtyard and began to attack the vampires.

"They're destroying our forces!" Screamed a female elite vampire with a French ascent.

Alister saw Marceline kill two vampires with her ax and a grin appeared on his face. The Vampire King didn't expect to see Marceline or any of the heroes to find his base, but this gave the ancient vampire a cruel idea to hurt Marceline. Alister turned to his elite forces.

"Two of you get out there and help the recruits. The rest of you stay in the manor and deal with anyone who gets in here except for the female vampire named Marceline, she is mine."

The elite nodded and the female vampire with a French ascent and a muscular bald vampire raced off to go outside and fight. The rest of the elite vampires scattered about to guard various parts of the house. Alister finished his wine and walked off to a special chamber to await Marceline's arrival.

In the courtyard things were heating up. Vampires were being destroyed left and right. Marceline was making her way to the manor with Lucinda by her side. The two of them reached the front door and smashed it down, before they ran inside. Finn saw the cousins run inside and ran after them followed by Jake, Tobe, and Betty. As soon as the three heroes ran inside the two elite vampires Alister had sent out to aid the recruits came out from a side door and went to fight the other heroes. The bald muscular vampire went after Drake with his fist, while the female vampire with the French ascent went after Gearga with a rapier.

Drake took a solid strike to the jaw from the muscular vampire and staggered back and glared at the evil creature before spitting a tiny bit of blood onto the ground. The vampire grinned evilly.

"I'm Brutus the brutal and I will break your bones!"

"Bring it!" Said Drake before the two fighters flew at one another and began to exchange blows.

Nearby Gearga was blocking sword blows from the French vampire. The vampire grinned at Gearga with confidence as she pressed forward with her attack and began to gloat.

"You fight well for a human, but you cannot win! I will pierce your heart with my blade and will bathe and drink your blood!"

"Don't celebrate to soon!" Declared Gearga as she pushed the vampire back.

"I'm Elizabeth the master of the blade!" Roared the vampire in anger as she began to push Gearga back.

It was going to be a long battle.

Inside the manor, Marceline and Lucinda found themselves in a large room with a couple of stairways and a few doors going in separate directions. The cousins decided to take the stairs on the right that lead up. They ascended the stairs and several minutes later the other four heroes showed up.

"Which way do you think they went?" Asked Finn.

"No idea man! This place is full of weird smells and its messing with my nose." Said Jake.

"Guess...will have to split up then." Said Finn.

The others nodded and they all went in separate directions. Tobe took some stairs on the left, Finn took a doorway on the right, Jake went to a doorway on the left, and Betty went up the stairs Marceline and Lucinda had taken.

Tobe went up the stairs and found himself in a hallway. The ninja could sense a massive killing aura at the end of the hallway. He walked down the hall and opened the door at the end and found himself in a large library, with an Asian vampire with a black ponytail casually sitting in a chair and reading a book. The vampire looked up at Tobe with a grin before he closed his book and stood up to face the ninja.

"The name is Zhang and I'm going to enjoy killing you!" Said the vampire as he pulled out two Sai to fight.

Finn walked down a a hallway and found some stairs that lead down, he walked down them and came into a large room that had a horrible sight. Inside the room there were several smaller rooms with bars and each one of the cells had a sickly thin person inside. Some of the people in the cells Finn recognized as some of the people who had gone missing. Finn was fixing to start freeing the prisoners, when his eyes landed on the last cell and the young hero was startled to see Bufo and Forest Wizard in it. The two wizards were incredibly thin, with their clothes reduced to rags and their skin covered in bruises and puncture marks. Bufo looked up at Finn and desperation appeared in his eyes.

"Your...that hero kid! Please...you have to get us out of here, will tell you everything we know, just please get us out of here before he comes back!" Cried Bufo.

At that moment there was a loud whipping sound followed by the marching of boots.

"To late!" Sobbed Forest Wizard as he pressed himself into a corner and hugged himself.

Finn turned to see a large muscular African American vampire with dreadlocks march into the room carrying a large whip in his right hand and had a saber tucked to his side. The vampire grinned at Finn as he cracked his whip.

"It seems you've stumbled upon our food stash. No matter. I, the great cell master Even shall add you to our ranks." Said the vampire as he advanced towards Finn, who had his sword out ready to fight.

Jake walked down a hallway and found himself in a large kitchen like room, where the fat vampire called Hagar was sucking out all the blood out of some raw meat with his fangs.

"Gross!" Said Jake.

Hagar turned towards Jake and glared at him.

"Me and my big mouth!" Cursed Jake as the vampire stomped towards him.

Elsewhere, Marceline and Lucinda had reached the top of the stairs where they found Alister standing alongside a red haired male vampire at his side. The King of the Vampires grinned at the cousins.

"Welcome ladies for an extra special show. I have something devious planned for you Marceline and by the end of tonight I will crush your spirit and I will crush you with my bare hands!"

"Bring it creep! It's time we put an end to this!" Shouted Marceline as she glared at Alister.

"Oh yes this will most certainly be the end of you." Chuckled Alister

The battle at the manor was well on its way.

To be continued.
