(Author's Note: Alright folks here's the chapter you've all been waiting for. Finn and Phoebe being reunited with their mothers!)
In the Ice Kingdom, Betty was tucking Eria into bed for the night.
"Mommy did, Neddy's mom do something bad to Phoebe?" Asked Eria.
Betty was a little stunned by her daughter's question and it took her a few seconds to come up with a way to answer her.
"Well Eria, Neddy's mommy thought Phoebe's kingdom was going to do something bad, so she went over there and caused a bunch of problems that hurt a lot of people. Daddy, Patience, and Slime Princess found out about what was going on and stopped it. Neddy's mommy is in trouble for what she did and she's going to have to be punished for it."
"Oh." Said Eria.
"Just remember that it is never ok to hurt anyone intently. It's ok to fend off people who are trying to hurt you or someone you care about." Said Betty.
"But wasn't Bubblegum trying to protect her kingdom?" Asked Eria.
"Yes, but the threat Bubblegum thought was real, was just something her own fear made and it was false. Phoebe and her people would never harm anyone, unless they were attacked. You understand Eria?" Said Betty.
"Yes mommy." Said Eria.
"That's my girl. Now sleep well my little princess." Said Betty as she kissed Eria's forehead and left the room.
Eria laid in bed for a while, unable to go to sleep. The ice girl decided to use your telepathy and contact Neddy. Eria closed her eyes and concentrated reaching out for Neddy's mind, until she finally managed to contact him.
"Hey Eria." Said Neddy's voice inside Eria's mind.
"Hey Neddy." Said Eria as she replied back with her mind.
Eria asked how Neddy was doing and Neddy told her he was doing good, but both his parents seemed to be worried about something. Neddy had asked his daddy what was wrong and his father had told him, that mommy had done something bad in another kingdom that hurt a bunch of people and now mommy was in trouble with the other kingdom. Eria filled Neddy in on what she knew and the prince thanked her for telling him. Neddy then said goodnight to Eria and went to go look for his mommy. The candy child found his mother in her repaired lab, sitting at a table and going over a bunch of papers and books.
"Mommy." Said Neddy getting his mom's attention.
"Neddy what are you doing up so late?" Said Bubblegum as she turned to face her son.
"I heard that your in trouble for something bad you did in another kingdom and I was worried about you." Said Neddy.
"How do you know that?" Asked Bubblegum.
"Daddy told me a little bit." Said Neddy as he walked over to his mom.
"It may seem bad and I wish I could have avoided hurting a bunch of people, but it was something that had to be done. Neddy I want you to know that everything I do, I do it to protect you, daddy, and the entire Candy Kingdom. I love you all and your all very important to me. Your so important to me that I'm willing to do anything to protect you from anything that posses a threat to us." Said Bubblegum as she hugged Neddy.
"But isn't it wrong to hurt people and do bad things?" Asked Neddy.
"Sometimes you have to do bad things for the right reasons." Said Bubblegum as she stopped hugging and let Neddy go.
"Didn't you get into trouble for what you did?" Asked Neddy.
"I did, but I'm going to be judged by a fair trial, where I'll be punished for what I did. There's no need to worry about me Neddy, I will be fine and I'll still be around to take care of you." Said Bubblegum.
"Ok mommy." Said Neddy.
Bubblegum stood up, grabbed Neddy, and carried him to his room. On the way to Neddy's room Bubblegum began to think about what kind of punishment she would revive and what would she have to do to fix the damage she caused in the Fire Kingdom. Bubblegum then began to think about all the other kingdoms and villages and what they thought about her actions. Would they simply close their boarders and refuse to do business with the Candy Kingdom or would they band together and combine forces in order to get Bubblegum out of power? King could still be plotting something against her and he could show up at the trial and try to rally the other rulers against her like he did back when all the leaders were gathered to talk about Pyro's temporally takeover of the Fire Kingdom and the destruction he caused to the Candy Kingdom. Bubblegum and Neddy reached Neddy's bedroom. The two went inside and Bubblegum tucked Neddy into his bed.
"Can you stay with me, until I fall asleep?" Asked Neddy.
"Sure thing." Said Bubblegum.
Bubblegum began to hum a little lullaby and stroke Neddy's head, until the child fell asleep. The candy women looked down at her son with a smile.
"No matter what happens I will be strong and protect you and your father from all harm. I will take whatever punishment is given, but if any of the other kingdoms threatens my family or my kingdom, I will show them no mercy and attack them with everything I have. If I must take extreme measure to ensure the safety of the ones I love, I will do what I must without question. It doesn't matter who they are. The only thing that matters is that you, Braco, and the entire kingdom are safe." Thought Bubblegum as she kissed Neddy's head and headed out of the room.
The queen headed towards her bed chamber, where she found Braco at a desk going over some documents. Bubblegum went over to Braco and wrapped her arms around him.
"I just want to say thank...you for staying by my side through this. I know this is tough and I want say, perhaps your right about what you said. It's just that the dream I had was so real and I felt like an actual threat from the Fire Kingdom was coming. The Cosmic Owl was in the dream, so I believed it to be a warning. I feared for the safety of you, Neddy, and our kingdom. I know it doesn't justify what I did, but I will take responsibility for my actions and face the consequences." Said Bubblegum.
"I'm proud of you Bubblegum. It takes a humble person to admit they made a mistake. Whatever happens, I'll be by your side to support you." Said Braco as he turned to face his wife and kissed her.
Bubblegum kissed Braco back. Whatever hardships they planned to face it together. From the doorway Peppermint Butler secretly watched them and an evil grin appeared on his face.
"Enjoy your happiness, while you can my queen, for very soon, your entire world will fall apart right in front of you." Whispered Peppermint Butler as he walked away.
Lightyears away, the Shard flew through a wormhole with the heroes's ship right behind it. So far the heroes had gone unnoticed by Shadow Spite. Iroh was up front with Banana Man, while Gearga and Drake were watching over the prisoners, Tobe was meditating, Django was stumping his guitar, and Finn and Phoebe looked out a window at the wormhole they were traveling through. Suddenly there was a flash of light up ahead and both ships were now in open space with a large planet in front of them and a strange black ship not to far away from them.
The ship that was in front of the Shard and the heroes, was Dominator's ship. For the past few months Dominator had been launching attacks on planet Olympia. Dominator had first taken out all the local space pirates before she began sending her robots down to the planet to attack it. The conqueror had watched the locals fight her robots and defeat them. The villain then made a holographic appearance in her more muscular and mask form declaring, who she was and that the planet was hers. The people of Olympia declared they would fight against Dominator and her forces, which actually pleased her, since she actually wanted a challenge. Dominator sent her forces to attack various parts of the planet and even went down to the surface herself in her muscular masked form to cause havoc. The planet's defenders would then show up and fight the robots and after an intense skirmish they would win, but Dominator saw that with each attack the defenders were getting worn down and soon Dominator would launch a full scale attack on the planet's capitol city and conquer it.
Dominator was sitting in her command chair daydreaming about crushing Olympia's defenses and looking at a star map to see which planet she should wreck next, when her ship's scanners picked up the two ships that had suddenly appeared before it.
"Two unidentified ships detected." Beeped a robot.
Dominator sat up from her chair to look at the two new ships. The Shard was roughly the same size as Dominator's and it looked like it posed a bigger threat then the smaller ship behind it and on closer inspection Dominator saw that the Shard fit the description of a villain ship.
"Well what do we have here, some losers think that can just waltz up here and try to steal the planet I already called dibs on conquering? Like I'm just going to let that happen! Bots prepare for battle, we're going to have ourselves a little ship battle!" Said Dominator as she walked over to the controls and started pressing buttons.
Several red laser beams fired out of Dominator's ship striking the Shard and rocking it. The Shard shook from the attacks as Hookocho shouted orders at Mental Mouse and Dr. Cerebral to fire back. The two scientist quickly activated the Shard's weapons and began firing green laser beams at Dominator's ship making it rock. While the two villain ships were blasting away at one another, Iroh began to instruct a panicked Banana Man.
"Just head down to the planet, those ships are to busy fighting with each other to notice us." Said Iroh.
Banana Man nodded as he piloted the ship down to the planet. A few stray laser blast flew close to the ship, but nothing series happened. The ship reached the surface and Iroh directed Banana Man to the capitol and Banana Man landed the ship outside of it. A bunch of Spartan soldiers along with Skips, Tecmo, and Ling/Greed headed towards the ship with their weapons drawn expecting an attack. A door on the side of the ship opened up and out stepped Iroh. At the sight of the wise deity the defenders lowered their weapons. Ling walked up to Iroh and bowed.
"Master Iroh, it's good to have you back." Said Ling.
"It's good to be back and I have brought some new friends with me along with a few other surprises." Said Iroh.
The rest of the people in the ship stepped out. Most of the heroes and Banana Man stepped out of the ship. Gearga stepped out followed by the Citadel inmates, with Drake being the last to exit carrying the frozen form of QB, some quick introductions were made and the two groups headed towards the palace. Iroh filled the defenders on his adventures as they traveled. Soon they reached the palace and went inside. The Citadel inmates were taken towards the palace dungeon by the Spartans, while everyone else went deeper into the palace. As Iroh lead Finn's group down a hallway, a woman with blond hair, dressed in a blue gown and silver tiara appeared before the group.
"Oh Iroh, I'm glad your back, there's an urgent situation and I need your counci-" Began the women, but she stopped speaking to stare at Finn looking mesmerized.
Finn starred back at the women and transfixed by her blue eyes. The young hero felt his heart beating as the women slowly approached him. The women was a head taller then Finn and the two of them stood a couple feet part as they continued to stare and study one another. Finn then slowly reached up and pushed his bear hat back to his neck, allowing his blond hair to spill out. The women took a sharp inhale of breath as she reached forward grabbed Finn and embraced him.
"It is you my son!" Said the women with a smile as tears of joy fell from her eyes.
"Mom!" Cried Finn joyfully as he smiled with tears of joy.
The two hugged for several more seconds and then they pushed back from one another to look at each other.
"My dear sweet cub, your finally home after all this time! Oh how I longed for this blessed moment!" Said Atalanta with a smile.
"I've dreamed of this moment to mom." Said Finn with a smile.
"You've grown so big and I can just tell by looking at you, that your a fine young man." Said Atalanta.
Finn smiled and blushed a little. It was then that another person entered the hallway.
"Phoebe?" Said a voice.
Phoebe turned startled to see her own mother standing a few feet from her.
"Mom?" Said Phoebe.
"Phoebe!" Cried Sarah as she raced towards her daughter.
"Mom!" Cried Phoebe as she raced towards her mother.
The two of them embrace one another with smiles on their faces and tears of joy falling from their eyes.
"Your alive! My wish came true!" Exclaimed Phobe.
"Your here!" Exclaimed Sarah.
After a few seconds the two stopped hugging. Atalanta stood beside her son and addressed everyone.
"Truly this is a wondrous day, not only have I've been reunited with my son, but my friend, Sarah has been reunited with her daughter. This calls for a celebration and a feast! Though, we may have enemies at our doorstep, we will not let them ruin this joyous moment! This a great day of being reunited with loved ones!" Declared the goddess.
The others cheered with agreement. Atalanta smiled as she grabbed her son's hand and held it. Finn smiled as his mom lead him and the others to a large dinning room. It truly turning out to be a wonderful day for the reunited mothers and children.
To be continued.
