Finn stormed out of the dungeon and into the dinning room with a furious look on, his face. Jake and Phoebe went over to comfort him.
"Man your looking ticked bro, why don't we got out get a little fresh air and maybe make a snack run. Will get you a slushie. I'm totally in the mood for a slushie." Said Jake.
"Alright...man that sounds good." Said Finn as he relaxed a little.
Phoebe put a comforting hand on Finn's shoulder giving him a friendly smile. Finn smiled back and the trio left the dinning room. Iroh had heard the story about what Martin had done to Finn and now he wanted to see him. A couple of guards pointed Iroh to the dungeon and he walked down to it to Martin's cell. Martin looked up and a spark of fear appeared in his eyes as he recognized Iroh.
"Hello Martin." Said Iroh.
"Hey...Iroh, you found me. My wife isn't here is she?" Asked Martin.
"Queen Atalanta is not here and I didn't come to this planet looking for you. My original purpose for coming to this world was to finish training one of my old students. It just so happened that a bunch of criminals from the Citadel ended up landing here and I came seeking the rulers of this kingdom to warn them about the situation, where I met your son and learned about your imprisonment." Said Iroh.
"Are you going to drag me back to my wife then back to prison?" Asked Iroh.
"It's funny how you keep calling Atalanta your wife, after what you did to her. Atalanta loved you Martin and the love you two once had, would have kept any man happy and contempt, but you became greedy and angered several various gods and heroes by stealing their treasures, until they demanded you be locked up. Instead of apologizing for what you did and try to work out some kind of other punishment or atonement, you tried to escape and you ended up teleporting your infant son to another world. Atalanta begged you to tell her, where you sent the child, but you refused saying you would only give the location, if you were cleared of all charges. You hurt her heart deeply that day." Said Iroh with a stern look in his eyes.
"Are you just telling me this to remind me or is there another purpose?" Asked Martin.
"I'm telling you this to remind that you hurt the closes people in your life. You've burned a lot of bridges in your life Martin as you moved forward, but soon you'll run out of bridges to burn and there will be no place to go and no one to turn to. You'll live a life of loneliness and self loathing, but there is a small light of salvation for you. You must apologize to your son and when I eventually take you back to your wife, you must apologize to her. The apology might not fix everything, but it will mend things a little and show your wife and son that you love them." Said Iroh before he turned and walked out of the dungeon.
Martin just starred at the ground in his cell and pondered over what Iroh told him.
Meanwhile outside the castle REGIS was walking down a road that had several candy people running about. The citizens gave the small strange robot a glance and just shrugged their shoulders as they went about their business. They just assumed the robot was one of Bubblegum's creations.
"You will all beg for mercy. In vain. The debris of your planet will litter the solar system. I shall sup upon your very atoms." Declared REGIS as he scuttled down the street.
At that moment two kids playing with a volleyball accidental hit REGIS with their ball. The robot turned and faced the thing, he believed to have struck him and that thing was a fire hydrant.
"Stand aside or you will be struck down." Said REGIS.
The fire hydrant of course didn't respond.
"Die then." Said REGIS as he fired two laser beams from his eyes and sliced the top of the fire hydrant off causing it to shot water straight up. "You are no match for the superior tactical abilities of the REGIS Mark V." Declared the robot as it walked away.
Kids ran up to the gushing fire hydrant laughing and cheering as it poured down.
"REGIS shall turn this planet into a smoldering memory." Declared REGIS as he stopped in the middle of the street.
At that moment a car heading down the street hit the water released from the fire hydrant and lost control. The car crashed into REGIS, who had just turned around and saw the car right as it hit him and sent him flying through the windshield of a parked car, the car's back window, the windshield of a delivery truck, and finally the back of the truck denting it's back doors. A few seconds later the roof of the truck burst open and out hopped REGIS completely unharmed.
"Is there no one powerful enough to stand against the REGIS Mark V?" Asked REGIS as he jumped off the truck and continued on his way.
Meanwhile at the secret lair, Sylvester and Kim were watching a computer screen that showed them a live feed of REGIS in the Candy Kingdom. Sylvester was interested in strange robot and wanted to capture it to examine. The evil scientist turned to Kim.
"Gather AMO, Shark, and Blastronaut. I'm curious about that robot and I want it captured." Said Sylvester.
Kim nodded as she went off to get the others. Sylvester continued to watch the computer with interest.
Back in the Candy Kingdom, Finn, Jake, and Phoebe had arrived at a small grocery store and were in line for the slushie machine. Finn had cooled down a little since he left the palace and he was filling a cup full of tasty slush and was fixing to grab it, when suddenly a car came smashing in through the celling and landed on the slushie machine smashing it to bits. Finn and everyone else in the store starred at the crashed car utterly stunned by the random destruction. REGIS then hopped from the hole and landed on the car.
"Do not panic. You will all die." Said REGIS as four extra limbs with laser guns at their tips sprouted from his body and began firing lasers.
The people in the store screamed in fear as they ran out of the store, just barely avoiding the lasers. Finn, Jake, and Phoebe were the only ones who didn't run from the robot. They just starred at it as it walked out of the store firing it's lasers.
"Ok...that was weird." Said Jake.
"Well on the bright side I have something evil to take my anger out on." Said Finn as he pulled out his sword and headed to the door followed by the others.
The trio of heroes didn't have to go very far to find REGIS. The robot had only traveled a few blocks, while it continued to fire it's lasers and declaring that running was futile to the fleeing candy people since none would escape him. Finn charged at REGIS and sliced all the laser gun limbs off. REGIS turned to stare at the boy.
Hey, pal! I believe you owe me and my friend here a slushie. Also I really don't like it when evil psychotic murder bots go around wrecking the place." Said Finn.
"Who dares challenge R.E.G.I.S.? R.E.G.I.S. is the destroyer of worlds, consumer of their rubble, bringer of despair. R.E.G.I.S. is-" Ranted REGIS, before Jake stomped on the robot with a giant foot.
"Nice one." Said Finn.
"Thanks man. That's guy wasn't so tough." Said Jake as he scraped the remains of REGIS off his foot using the corner of a roof.
"I think there's a store nearby that serves slushies." Said Phoebe.
The group walked away from the robot remains and a few seconds later the eyes of REGIS began to glow and the robot automatically repaired itself and stood up. REGIS then turned to look at a mailbox and shot a strand of metal from it's body wrapping it around the mailbox, before dragging it towards REGIS. REGI absorbed the mailbox into it's body and became larger. The robot then snatched a bike from a startled candy person and absorbed it.
"I am the Replicant Engineered for Galactic Infiltration and Sabotage Mark Five. I cannot be stopped. You have been warned." Said REGIS to the candy person, before walking off.
Outside the Candy Kingdom, Dr. Cerebral and Mental Mouse had just landed their flying saucer and we're getting out to get into the kingdom locate REGIS, through a entrance on the Eastside of the kingdom. Elsewhere, Sylvester and his group were entering the Candy Kingdom, through a gate on the Westside. Both teams of villains set out searching for REGIS.
At the castle, Iroh was in the throne room giving a list of all the escaped Citadel prisoners to Bubblegum and Braco. Gearga, Drake, Tobe, Colonel Candy Corn, Rattelballs, and Peppermint Butler were also in the room to hear what Iroh had to say.
"We thank you for this information Iroh and I promise you, you have the support of the entire Candy Kingdom." Said Braco.
"Will be happy to aid you and let you use our dungeon to hold the criminals once they're captured." Said Bubblegum.
"Thank you." Said Iroh with a bow.
Outside the palace Finn and his group had just located another store that sold slushies and were fixing to head into it, when REGIS suddenly appeared on top of the store roof.
"I am REGIS. Surrender and I will kill you peacefully." Said REGIS as he starred down at the people from the roof.
A bunch of candy people immediately ran away screaming for their lives, while Finn, Jake, and Phoebe starred up at the robot, who just starred back at them.
"Didn't we just go through this?" Asked Finn.
"REGIS cannot be vanquished. REGIS is undefeatable." Said REGIS.
"Well you weren't before!" Called Finn as he pulled out his sword and faced the robot.
REGIS hopped down from the roof and attempted to impale Finn with one of his sharp legs. The young hero jumped out of the way and sliced his sword across the leg chopping it off. Finn then charged at REGIS, who stabbed at him with another of his legs, but Finn ducked underneath the blow and got under REGIS, where he began slicing at the other legs with his sword. REGIS lost his balance and fell to his side, giving Finn the chance to charge at the robot's main body and begin hacking away at it wildly cutting pieces of it off. It was like all the rage Finn felt towards his father was being transferred to the Finn's sword swings and the boy was taking his frustration out on the robot. After a couple of minutes, Jake decided to intervene and wrapped his stretchy arms around Finn tying him up.
"Ok man that's enough! You showed that robot whose boss. Now let's calm down and relax." Said Jake.
"Alright man...I'm chilled." Said Finn as he took a deep breath and began to calm down.
Jake released Finn and the three heroes walked pass the remains of REGIS and into the store, where to their dismay the slushie machine was out of order. Phoebe suggested they look for another store and the three friends walked away from the scene looking for another place that sales slushie. None of them noticed that the remains of REGIS began to merge back together and repair itself. In a matter of seconds REGIS was fully restored. The robot then went about absorbing a parked truck and a large metal dumpster to add to it's mass and add a few extra limbs to itself. Now REGIS had two large metal claw like limbs sticking out of the front of it's body. The robot marched off to find it's enemies.
Meanwhile at an outdoor food court, Finn and his group had finally located a shop that sold slushies and other deserts. Finn and Jake got slushies, while Phoebe got some chocolate. The heroes were sitting at a table, where Finn was fixing to take his first sip, when suddenly the ground shook and there was a thunderous sound of something made of metal marching. Then something big came crashing in from the sky and landed in the middle of the food court shacking everything. The table Finn and the others were sitting at was knocked over and Finn saw his slushie laying spilled on the ground. Finn gritted his teeth in anger and looked to see that the giant thing that landed in the food court was REGIS.
"You again!" Shouted Finn angrily.
"The R.E.G.I.S. Mark V is invincible. No weapon forged by such a primitive species can defeat R.E.G.I.S., which is invincible." Said REGIS.
Finn was fixing to charge at the robot and violently attack it, but Jake grabbed him.
"Calm down bro, I don't think going crazy and hacking at this guy is going to cut it. We need to try something else on this guy." Said Jake.
"Why don't I give it a shot." Said Phoebe as she stepped forward and pointed her hands at the REGIS.
REGIS charged forward and Phoebe unleashed a huge blast of flame at the robot consuming it's main body. The metal of REGIS's body crumbled underneath the intensity of the heat, until finally the robot's legs gave and it fell into a heap.
"Well I think that worked." Said Finn.
"Oh please, it would take more then that to destroy REGIS." Said a new voice.
The heroes turned to see Mental Mouse and Dr. Cerebral a few yards away.
"Whoa one guy is a mouse with a huge pink brain sticking out of his head and the other is like all brain in a jar in a robot body." Said Jake.
"Kind of freaky." Said Phoebe.
"Who are you?" Demanded Finn.
"You should treat us with better respect. Your standing before to of the multiverse's greatest minds. I am Dr. Cerebral and my companion here is Mental Mouse." Said Dr. Cerebral.
"Are you guys criminals from the Citadel?" Asked Phoebe.
"Oh so you know about the Citadel. It seems the locals on this planet are more knowledgeable then we previously anticipated." Said Dr. Cerebral.
"To answer your question. We were indeed incarcerated on the Citadel. A bunch of small minded fools feared our intellects, so they locked us." Said Mental Mouse.
"Well at least we know these guys are evil." Said Jake.
"So what were you saying about that REGIS guy not being destroyed?" Asked Finn.
"See for yourself." Said Dr. Cerebral as he pointed at REGIS's remains.
The heroes watched in shock as the robot remains merged back together and a few seconds later REGIS was fully repaired. The robot then shot several metal limbs out and grabbed several snack machines, tables, and chairs, which it dragged to it's body and absorbed increasing it's size and changing it's body. REGIS now had a long neck, which was connected to a large muscular chest that had two massive arms with four sharp clawed fingers, and four long insect like legs at the bottom.
"Truly a magnificent robot." Said a new voice.
Everyone turned to see that Sylvester and his group had arrived on the scene. The science cat looked at the Citadel villains with mild interest.
"A cat, who thinks his some kind of scientist. How amusing." Said Mental Mouse.
"I'll have you know rat, that I'm a great scientist that has made great strides in the fields if artificial intelligence and bioengineering." Said Sylvester.
"Well first off I'm a mouse and I bet the only thing you've created is a better way to catnap." Taunted Mental Mouse.
"Kim would you be, so kind as to eliminate this rodent problem." Said Sylvester.
"With pleasure." Said Kim as she pointed her hypodermic needle at Mental Mouse.
A glob of blue liquid flew out of the needle and towards Mental Mouse. The villain quickly raised his hand and used his mental powers to levitate a table in front of him. The liquid hit the table and it melted. Mental Mouse's eyes watered a little from the fumes of the melted table. The villains starred each other down, while Finn and Jake looked at AMO.
"Hey are you a MO?" Asked Jake.
"I am, but I'm not like the others. I am AMO and I obey Doctor Sylvester and Kim." Declared AMO.
Before anything else could happen, REGIS spoke as he closed in on the heroes and villains.
"Foolish lifeforms. The R.E.G.I.S. Mark V is the ultimate fighting machine. Unstoppable, merciless, glorious. No one is safe from the R.E.G.I.S. You shall all die and your bodies shall be absorbed into the invincible being that is REGIS!" Declared REGIS as he prepared to attack.
At that moment Drake flew in in his full dragon form and smashed into REGIS knocking him to the ground. Gearga, Tobe, and Iroh leaped from Drake's back and joined Finn and the others. Iroh looked at Mental Mouse and Dr. Cerebral, who flinched at the sight of the deity.
"Well...this was certainly an unseeable surprise." Said Mental Mouse.
"I suggest a strategic retreat." Said Dr. Cerebral.
"A good suggestion." Said Mental Mouse as he and Dr. Cerebral turned to flee the scene.
Finn was fixing to go after them, but Iroh stopped him.
"Those two are unimportant. We need to focus on the real threats." Said Iroh as he first indicated REGIS and Sylvester and his group.
"How do we stop this REGIS guy? No matter how hard we hit or blast him, he just fixes himself and becomes stronger." Said Finn.
"The REGIS is an enemy that can not be stopped with simple force. He is strong, but he has a vital weakness that I told Bubblegum about. At this very moment, she is devising a machine that will defeat REGIS, but until then we must stall REGIS and we have to keep him contained in the Candy Kingdom at all cost." Explained Iroh.
Finn nodded in understanding. Drake was exchanging punches with REGIS, while Tobe and Gearga dealt with Sylvester and his minions. Iroh lead Finn, Jake, and Phoebe to aid Drake. Tobe was dodging lasers fired from Blastronaut and metal balls fired from AMO, while Gearga swung her sword at Kim, who extended her needle and used it like a sword. Sylvester and Shark calmly watched from the sidelines.
Drake swung a fist at REGIS, who blocked it and delivered a punch to Drake's face followed by a punch to the gut. The dragon staggered back and REGIS closed in throwing another punch at Drake's gut, but he sidestepped it grabbed REGIS's arm and ripped it off! REGIS staggered back as Drake swung the dismembered limb and smashed it into REGIS's head sending him flying back and crashing near an abandoned playground. Drake dropped the arm to the ground and went after REGIS. The dismembered arm began to shift and change as red eyes appeared on it and it took on a smaller form that resembled the REGIS's current form. Before the new REGIS could do anything Iroh impaled it with a giant icicle and Phoebe blasted it with fire causing it to crumble to bits.
"REGIS has began to replicate itself. Soon we will have an army of REGIS to deal with." Said Iroh as he and the others watched the new REGIS's remains put themselves back together and two smaller piles of metal separated from the main mass to form two copies of REGIS's first form.
"Then we better hold out, until Bubblegum is done with her machine." Said Finn as he charged at the copies.
At the castle, Bubblegum was working was mixing chemicals, while Braco was screwing in the bolts to a bazooka like device. The king and queen had placed Neddy in a panic room beneath the castle to keep him safe and had turned on the forcefield that surrounded the entire kingdom. From what Iroh had told them, they couldn't afford to let let a single piece of REGIS escape into Ooo. The robot sounded unbeatable, but Iroh had told the couple the REGIS's weakness and now they were working on it. They just needed a few more minutes.
Back outside Drake had delivered a few more punches to REGIS who tried to hit him with a laser blast from his eyes, but the dragon punched him and the blast ended up hitting the castle dungeon and vaporized the cell wall of Knightbrace's cell. The small time villain looked at the massive hole in the wall in surprise, before he jumped out through it and escaped. Drake managed to deliver a few more punches to REGIS, before the robot managed to knock him back and absorbed the nearby playground equipment to grow his missing arm back and to increase his size making him bigger the Drake. REGIS then shot some metal tentacles out of his chest and wrapped them around Drake dragging the dragon and absorbing him into his body.
"DRAKE!" Screamed Gearga as she kicked Kim away from her.
"That is seriously messed up!" Cried Phoebe.
"The R.E.G.I.S. Mark V is the ultimate fighting machine. Unstoppable, merciless, glorious. No one is safe from the R.E.G.I.S." Declared REGIS in victory.
There was a flash of yellow from REGIS's chest and the robot exploded into a fiery mess as Drake flew out from REGIS's twisted remains breathing hard.
"Your alive!" Called a relived Gearga.
"It'll take more then that to finish me off." Grunted Drake.
However things were about to get worst as REGIS started to repair himself and some mounds of his metals began absorbing a bunch of metal in the surrounding area to create copies of REGIS current form. Soon there were over a dozen REGIES copies. All the heroes gritted their teeth at the grim situation.
At the castle, Bubblegum and Braco finished the machine they were working on and headed outside to the roof. Bubblegum loaded the bazooka like device with a a grey sphere and Braco pointed the device upwards and fired. The sphere flew up above the castle and exploded creating a massive black cloud that began to spread through the kingdom.
The REGIS copies surrounded the heroes.
"You will be decimated. Your planet returned to the cosmic dust, from which it came." Declared all the clones.
The cloud showed up and spread through the sky above the clones and it began to affect them.
"The REGIS Mark V is impervious to your tactics. Entire...systems...fear...the REGIS." Said the copies, before all their eyes flickered out and their bodies crumbled into heaps of scrap metal.
"Um what just happened?" Asked Finn.
"The REGIS is solar powered. Once it was cut off from it's energy supply it lost power." Explained Iroh.
The heroes then turned their attention to Sylvester, who had regrouped with his forces. The science cat glared at the heroes, before he pulled up his sleeve and pressed a button on a watch like device strapped to his wrist. The villains teleported in a flash of light. Several minutes later all the banana guards and gumball robots were marching about with sharp sticks and trash bags picked up pieces of REGIS. The plan was to throw all the pieces of the robot into a industrial furnace and incinerate them to keep REGIS from ever reforming. Nobody noticed Peppermint Butler pick up a piece of REGIS and pocket it with a smirk. Iroh searched for Mental and Dr. Cerebral, but they had apparently escaped. The clean up was done and the forcefield went down allowing the clouds to be blown away by the wind.
Finn and Phoebe left the Candy Kingdom and headed to the grasslands to sit on a hill and watch the sunset together. Jake showed up a little later and gave Finn a slushie and Phoebe a hot chocolate. The magical dog said goodbye and left the young couple alone. Finn and Phoebe drank their drinks as they watched the sunset. The two of them wondered a little bit about what kind craziness they would face next, but at that current moment they didn't let it bother them to much. The boy and his fiery girlfriend just laid next to one another enjoying each other's company as they looked at the sky.
To be continued.
