At the secret lair Nero and Dimentio were fixing to set out to see their students. Dimento handed Nero a small black cube.
"Just throw that near the ground and a energy field will popup and surrounded the area. It'll cloak you from Crimson's surveillances." Said Dimentio.
"Thank you and I wish you good luck with your little student." Said Nero.
"Likewise." Said Dimentio.
With that said the two of them teleported out of the base.
Near the Peace Protectors's base Gearga was outside with William and Hunter Wizard. The three of them were going to have a sparring match and Drake, Momo, Slippy, and a recovering Huntress Wizard were watching. Gearga pulled out her big sword and faced the android and the wizard.
"You two know the rules. No killing or maiming. This is just a fight to improve our skills." Said Gearga.
"Understood." Said William.
"Let's get started. It's been a while since I had a proper fight." Said Hunter Wizard.
"Begin!" Shouted Gearga.
Gearga charged at William swinging her sword. The android countered her swing with a swing of his own sword and the two of them collided with a loud clash sending each other back. Hunter Wizard charged forward firing a few arrows at Gearga. The female warrior dodged out of the way and swung the flat side of her sword at the wizard, who quickly rolled out of the way and fired an arrow at William. The arrow flew at William, but the android raised his sword and the arrow hit it and exploded into a cloud of smoke. Hunter Wizard grinned as he ran to the side of the smoke cloud and fired a few arrows into it expecting to hit William, but when the smoke cleared there was no sign of the android.
"What the?!" Gasped Hunter Wizard, but then he looked up and saw William floating with his jet feet.
"Motion sensors and I calculated that you would try a sneak attack." Said William as he flew down swinging the flat of his sword at Hunter Wizard.
Hunter Wizard just barely dodged the attack and stumbled back from the android. Gearga then came up from behind Hunter Wizard and kicked him in the back, knocking him into William and making the android stumble backwards. William quickly recovered and shoved Hunter Wizard to the side as he tried to bring out his hidden laser and stun Gearga, but the daughter of War was already on the android. Gearga knocked William's laser to the side and slammed the hilt of her sword into him knocking the android to the ground and in one fluid motion she spun around and pointed her sword at Hunter Wizard's face as he tried to get up and notch an arrow to his bow. The wizard looked up at Gearga and raised his hands in mock surrender.
"I give!" He said with a playful smile.
"I to concede defeat." Said William.
"That was a good fight. The two of your are tough I'll give you that." Said Gearga with a smile as she sheathed her sword and helped Hunter Wizard and William up.
The others cheered as the fighters went over to have a break. Huntress Wizard complimented Hunter Wizard on his combat skills and told him, he did a good job. Hunter Wizard blushed a little as Huntress Wizard kissed him on the cheek. The others cheered the couple on.
At the Mountain Kingdom, Tobe and Django had been having a sparring match in a large clearing, when the two of them decided to have a break. The clearing looked like a small war zone with a bunch of ninja stars stabbed into trees, a few chopped down tress, and some scorched patches of grass. Both Tobe and Django were sitting by some rocks resting.
"Your a very good fighter Tobe. There's only a few other people who can keep up with me and your one of them." Said Django.
"Thanks for the compliment, but despite my current level of strength, I haven't reached my full potential yet. I never finished my training from Iroh." Said Tobe as he looked down at his blades.
"How come you never finished your training?" Asked Django as he tuned his guitar.
"I became stupid and rash...and I did some terrible things. Even if I found Iroh, I doubt he would finish my training, after what I did." Said Tobe as he starred at his reflection in one of his blades.
"Don't beat yourself over the past man. You've done a ton of good things and help defend Ooo. I'm sure your master would forgive you and finish your training." Said Django as he strummed a little tune on the guitar.
"Maybe, your right. The only way I'll ever find out is if I ever find Master Iroh." Said Tobe as he sheathed his swords.
The ninja said goodbye to the musician as he headed off towards the apartment he shared with Doctor Princess.
At the Candy Kingdom, Dimentio arrived and changed into his Florence disguise. The magician made his way into the courtyard, when he suddenly sensed an usual energy. Dimentio turned and saw Stormo in his stable. The disguised jester walked up to the candy Sphinx and conjured up an apple in his hands to offer to Stormo. The candy Sphinx eyed the apple and then he grabbed it with his beak and began chewing it.
"Your certainly a peculiar creature, you have no means to talk like an ordinary creature, but I can tell you have extraordinary amount of physic energy that would allow you to communicate with others. Just like what were doing right now." Said Dimentio as he sent Stormo a mental message.
Stormo's eyes popped open with surprise as he looked at Dimentio.
"You...know I have physic powers?" Said Stormo as he sent a mental message back at Dimentio.
"I do. My name is Florence and I'm curious as to how you came to be like the way you are now." Said Dimentio.
Stormo then began to explain his creation to Dimentio and the jester became interested. The candy Sphinx gave Dimentio.
"You know there is someone else here with abilities like you." Said Dimentio.
"Impossible. The only being with powers like mine was killed." Said Stormo mentally.
"Oh, but there is. You see there is a child with abilities like you and he happens to be the prince of this kingdom." Said Dimentio.
"The prince, but how?" Asked Stormo mentally.
"I believe Bubblegum had something to do with that, though I don't think she's realized what she's created yet. I think you should meet Prince Neddy and his little friend." Said Dimentio.
Several minutes later, Neddy came into the courtyard and saw the magician standing by Stormo's stall. The little prince wondered over and greeted Dimentio.
"Hello mister Florence."
"Hello Neddy, I've made a little discovery and found out that Stormo is a lot like you." Said Dimentio as he indicated Stormo.
Stormo then began to scan Neddy's mind and came across a strange entity that was strangely familiar.
"Why is there something that feels like Goliad in your mind?" Asked Stormo as he sent his mental thoughts into Neddy's mind.
"Hello...I am Gee. I was once a part of Goliad's mind, but now I'm a part of Neddy's mind. Bubblegum placed a small amount of cells from Goliad into Neddy and I came into being. I want to say I'm sorry for all the bad things Goliad tried to do." Said Gee.
"Interesting. I accept your apology. When I was locked in mental combat with Goliad I tried to make her change her ways, but she refused to. I'm glad that a small part of her survived and is willing to change." Said Stormo.
"You can thank Neddy for the change. I saw a different perspective and what Bubblegum tried to teach Goliad makes sense." Said Gee.
"Thank you Neddy." Said Stormo.
"Now that I got the two of you aquatinted, we can move on. The two of you have tremendous abilities and I believe the two of you can help each other improve." Said Dimentio.
"How so?" Asked Neddy.
"Well psychic powers are like magic in some ways. It takes a lot of concentration, belief in yourself, and a little imagination. With this in mind you can do almost anything. Stormo has experience and Neddy is young and has imagination and together you can help each other out." Said Dimentio.
Neddy and Stormo glanced at one another and then back at Dimentio.
"I'll let you two bond a little. I have some others things to do, but I'll be back. Don't know when, but I'll be back." Said Florence as he walked away.
"What a strange man." Said Stormo.
"Indeed." Agreed Gee.
"He might be strange, but he seems nice." Said Neddy.
Dimentio walked out of the kingdom and turned back to his regular self before he teleported away.
Meanwhile at the Grasslands, Finn and Phoebe were hanging out, when Nero suddenly appeared before them.
"Hello again. Now it's time for a little lesson." Said Nero as he pulled the cube and threw it to the ground.
The cube exploded and expand into a large energy field that surrounded the area. Nero pulled out his sword and faced the young couple. Finn just glared at Nero.
"I'm not going to fight you Nero, until you explain what your deal is. Your a member of the organization, yet you want me to become stronger. Whose side are you really on?" Demanded Finn.
"I suppose I'm on my side. I'm currently working for the Lich, but I want to help you side stand against him. I want you to picture loosing the most precious thing in your life Finn. What would you do to get it back? I myself have joined up with a great evil, who has promised to return what I have lost, in exchange for my services." Said Nero before he suddenly leaped forward at Finn swinging his sword.
Finn just barely managed to pull out his own sword and block Nero's attack. Nero shoved Finn back and the young hero stumbled, but quickly regained his balance, before leaping forward and began bombarding Nero with sword strikes.
"I won't let anyone I care about die and even if I failed in it that I would never join up with something as evil as the Lich no matter what! I won't become something like you!" Declared Finn as his sword began to faintly glow blue.
"I see your resolve. Yes I joined up with the Lich in exchange for the return of what I lost, but I am no fool. I know the Lich cannot be fully trusted, so I have taken precautions." Said Nero as he deflected Finn's blade to the side and kicked Finn in the chest knocking him back.
Finn clutched his chest and glared at Nero. Before Nero could do anything a blast of white flames flew in from the side and forced Nero to jump to the side. Nero glanced to the side and saw Phoebe's hands burning with white flames.
"Leave Finn alone! His not the only one who is going to fight against the Lich. His got me and a bunch of others to fight alongside him." Said Phoebe as she conjured up a white flame sword and stood next to Finn.
Nero eyed the couple and then sheathed his sword. The man smiled and clapped his hands.
"Well done. I can see your both determined to fight and protect the ones you care about, so I will let you ask me a few questions regarding the organization's master plan. I won't answer your questions directly, however I will give you some hints to help you figure out what the plan is." Said Nero.
"Alright we know that three people seem to be a part of the Lich's plan. Bubblegum, Marceline, and Lucinda. How do they fit in with whatever the plan is?" Said Finn.
"I'll answer your questions with a few of my own. Of all the kingdoms in Ooo, which ones are considered the strongest, after you figure that out think about which ruler is the most paranoid and has a tendency to do something rash when they believe that something they care about is threatened? Now as for the other two women though they are special it's who they are connected to, that makes them important to the organization's plan." Said Nero.
With that said Nero vanished in a flash of light and the energy field vanished. Finn put his sword up and Phoebe extinguished her flames. The couple looked at one another.
"I don't know what the organization is planning, but I promise you I'll stop them and protect you." Said Finn.
"And I'll protect you to." Said Phoebe.
The two smiled as they headed to the tree fort, thinking about what Nero had told them. The future was unclear, but trouble was brewing.
To be continued.
