Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
Bubblegum and Braco decided to wait a little bit to get settled in as king and queen, before they woke Neddy from, his pod. While that was going on a couple members of the organization were observing various warriors on their side and on the heroes side.
Nero and Dimentio stood in a room inside a pocket dimension as they observed a large crystal ball in front of them. The first image was of Pyro and his team training, by fighting crystal ants, hair apes, iron owls, spartois, and varmints in a large grey metal room.
A couple of varmints jumped at Jinn, but he shrunk down to the size of an ant and the varmints hit each other instead. A spartoi slammed it's fist down at Jinn, but the tiny clone jumped over the fist and ran up the spartoi's arm and towards it's head. Jinn enlarged his right fist and slammed it into the spartoi's face knocking it to the ground.
Frost was surrounded by a large group of crystal ants and iron owls. The villain just grinned as he fired a blast of freezing energy at the monsters and froze them in ice. Frost then fired a bunch of icicles and shattered the frozen enemies to bits.
Diana was taking out some iron owls with her arrows, while Maleficent destroyed several hair apes and varmints with a blast of flaming breath. A spartoi charged at Maleficent throwing a punch at her, but the dragon women deflected it and delivered a punch of her own that sent the spartoi flying away.
Mitsuhide was surrounded by a bunch of crystal ants, varmints, and hair apes, who all leaped at him at once. The skeletal villain laughed as he swung his twin scythes at incredible speeds and sliced all the monsters to pieces.
Luceline was surrounded by hair apes, who blasted her with lighting, but the attack seemed to have no affect on her. The hybrid waved a hand at the hair apes and that just exploded into globs of hair that went everywhere. Four spartois leaped at Luceline and swung their fist at her, but she just dodged their attacks with ease. Luceline then turned her hands into claws and threw some punches of her own at the large monsters and smashed them into pink bits.
Pyro was surrounded by nearly a hundred monsters. They all roared and charged at him and the evil prince just grinned as his right hand was engulfed in black flame. Pyro slammed his fist into the ground and a wave of black flames came forth and incinerated all the monsters in an instance.
Sylvester, Kim, and Kim's new robot assistant AMO walked onto the scene taking notes of the teams battle progress. The image of the crystal ball then changed to Tobe meditating under a waterfall, then to Hunter Princess shooting a bunch of wooden targets, William at the MO factory slicing giant pieces of scrape metal with his sword, and the Peace Protectors practicing various fighting moves on dummy's that resembled Martin.
"It seems both sides are becoming stronger by the day." Said Dimentio.
"Indeed they are. Tell me Dimentio, have you located our other comrade?" Said Nero.
"I have tracked Nightmare Princess, back to her kingdom. There seems to be a lot of dark negative energy gathering over there to form some kind of storm. I believe it will present a problem to us soon." Said Dimentio.
"Night got her powers from GOLB. Those powers have something dark and connected to it and they've gone wild and Night will be another victim of GOLB. It gives me another reason to hate GOLB even more." Said Nero as he waved his hand at the crystal ball and an image of Finn practicing with his sword outside the tree fort appeared.
Phoebe, Jake, and Jermaine stood next to Finn and watched him swing his sword. Nero and Dimentio watched the crystal ball for a few minutes and then Dimentio turned to Nero.
"You've seen to have taken a great interest in the boy since he defeated Koh." Said Dimentio.
"This...Finn has incredibly power and there's more to him then meets the eye. The Lich and Crimson also seem to interested in Finn as well. They seem to consider him a threat. Finn also seems to have the ability to attract strong warriors to him and befriend them. He has already made friends with the daughters of Good and Evil, the daughter of War, the son of Death, the king and queen of ice, and he has also fallen in love with a young princess of flames, who possesses the Flame Goddess's holly flames. This is all leading up to a great battle, one that will perhaps surpass the last Great War." Said Nero.
"So do you wish to test the boys powers and see how strong he is for yourself?" Asked Dimentio.
"Perhaps we shall." Said Nero as he conjured up a straw hat and placed it on his head.
In a flash of light the warrior and the jester appeared outside the tree fort. Finn and the others starred at the newcomers in confusion. Dimentio snapped his fingers and a giant transparent black square surrounded the entire tree fort. Finn pointed his sword at the duo as the others took up fighting stances. Nero calmly raised his hands in peace.
"Relax, we have not come to here to try and kill you."
"Why should we believe you, your with Crimson and the organization!" Spat Finn.
"You are correct, we are members of the organization, but we're here on a little personal matter." Said Dimentio as he snapped his fingers and a black transparent square surrounded Phoebe, Jake, and Jermaine.
"Let them go!" Demanded Finn with an angry look on his face.
"Fret not Finn, for we have no intention in harming anyone. I simply wish to challenge, you to a little fight just to see how strong one of Ooo's greatest champions really is." Said Nero as he calmly pulled out his sword.
"I'll release you three if you promise not to interfere with the fight." Said Dimentio.
"Fine you have our word that we won't interfere." Said Phoebe.
"Splendid." Said Dimentio as he snapped his fingers and the box vanished.
Everybody watched as Finn and Nero faced one another. Finn leaped at Nero swinging his sword at the other warrior, only to have Nero dodge his swings with ease. The young hero gritted his teeth and came forward with a sharp thrust. Nero moved to the side a little and the sword missed him by a mere inch. Finn spun on the balls of his feet and tried to hit Nero with, his elbow, but Nero caught it with one hand and pushed the teen back, making Finn lose, his balance. Finn quickly recovered and preformed a swinging kick at Nero's feet. Nero leaped over the kick and landed a few feet away. The older warrior gave Finn a small smile, which seemed to annoy him. Finn created a ice ninja star and threw it at Nero, making him move his head to the side to dodge the attack, as Finn charged at him with a sword thrust. Nero saw the blow coming and dodged to the side, but instead of flying past him, Finn managed to stop, spin towards Nero, and throw a punch at his face. The attack caught Nero slightly off guard, but he managed to deflect the punch with one hand and struck Finn in the chest with his palm. Finn grunted as he was sent flying back and crashed into the ground. The young hero quickly jumped back to his feet with a roll. Phoebe, Jake, and Jermaine cheered for Finn to keep fighting. Nero studied the young warrior and saw the determination in his eyes.
"The boy is indeed strong and greatly skilled. The willpower he has is great, but he hasn't learned how to master it and transfer it through his body. Finn is strong, but he has a long way to go before, he can stand a chance against the Crimson or the Lich." Thought Nero.
"Finn is quit warrior, but I can see that Nero is just playing him along, trying to gage his strength and skills. I can sense great power from Finn, yet his not quit able to release it and channel it. There must be a way to make him release it." Thought Dimentio as he watched the two fighters.
"Come on man, let's continue the fight!" Challenged Finn as he starred at Dimentio.
"I'll admit you are strong Finn, but you'll never defeat the organization with your current degree of power." Said Nero.
"What did you say?! Me and my friends have stopped several of the organizations plans and we've defeated a few of its members." Said Finn.
"That may be true, but the organization and its members grow stronger by the day. You and your friends are strong Finn, but you will eventually fall and the people you care about most will die, because you yourself were not strong enough to protect them." Said Nero.
Finn glanced at Phoebe and his brothers. Then there was people like Simon, Betty, Marceline, Lucinda, and all his other friends. The thought of anyone of them dying was horrible. They were his most precious loved ones and he would protect with all his strength. Finn gripped his sword with both hands and it faintly glowed a bright blue color. Nero saw this and smiled a little. He had triggered the boy's power a little.
"I will become stronger! I'm going to protect all of Ooo, from the organization! I'll beat you, Crimson, and the Lich! No matter what happens I will protect everyone!" Roared Finn as he blew forward and swung his sword down at Nero.
Nero raised his sword up and met Finn's attack. There was a thunderous clang, followed by a shockwave that created a dust cloud that covered everything. When the dust cloud cleared Finn and Nero stood with their swords pressed together. Neither one of them moved for several seconds and then Finn let out a groan as he dropped, his sword and fell to his knees. Nero continued to stand as his straw hat fell to the ground split in two and a small cut opened up on his forehead and began to bleed a little. Phoebe, Jake, and Jermaine starred at the two fighters not sure what just happened. Dimentio looked at Nero and Finn and glanced at the black box that surrounded the tree fort and noticed a large crack in it.
"Well...that was something. That boy is really strong." Thought Dimentio.
Nero sheathed his sword and looked down at Finn.
"Congratulations Finn, you vanquished my hat and you managed to make me bleed. You are indeed strong and I look forward to seeing you grow stronger." Said Nero.
Dimentio snapped his fingers and the box surrounding the tree fort vanished. The jester walked over and stood by Nero. Finn pushed himself up and looked at Nero.
"So...you want me to become stronger? Is this because, you want a good fight?" Asked Finn.
"Yes we want you to become stronger, but not for you to simply give us a good fight. Let's just say we have other reasons for wanting you to become stronger." Said Nero.
"Friends on the other side." Said Dimentio.
With that said the two of them vanished in a flash of light. Finn and the others just blinked their eyes in confusion. Jake went over to help Finn up as he wondered what that strange sensation was that went through him, right before he struck Nero that last time.
At the secret lair, Nero and Dimentio were walking down a hallway together.
"Finn is indeed a person of great interest and power. He doesn't know how to use it, but in time he will." Said Nero.
"The boy and all of his allies are quit strong, but there are still some great odds facing them. Luckily we still have my plan incase things start going wrong and then a perfect world will be born regardless of the outcome." Said Dimentio.
"Yes...your special project. If the Lich wins and he doesn't restore my world, then I'm counting on you to do it." Said Nero.
"You have my word that I'll restore your planet, after all we're comrades." Said Dimentio.
"Indeed we are." Said Nero with a nod.
The two of them continued on their way, but unbeknownst to them, they were being watched by Me-Mow, who had been clinging to the celling above and listening in on the conversation. The tiny cat narrowed her eyes as she climbed away to alert her masters about what she heard.
To be continued.
