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

A few days later, on planet Olympia, Atalanta called, Finn to her private quarters to speak to him.

"What's up mom?" Asked Finn.

"It's time that I told you how your father and I met and how you ended up on Earth." Atalanta.

Finn sat on the bed next to his mom as she began to tell her story.

Atalanta flashback 18 years ago.

Queen Atalanta stood in her war room with several of her warriors by her side looking at a large map and model of the Capitol. For the past few months the planet had been under siege by a warlord named Hookocho and his army of robots. Olympia had been threatened before, by warlords and other invaders, but Hookocho and his army were very determined to conquer the planet and had proven themselves to be devious foes. Hookocho had proven to be both powerful and crafty during the siege and little by little his robot army was making headway and surrounding the Capitol. Pretty soon Hookocho would launch a full scale attack on the Capitol. Atalanta decided to head outside to one of the balconies and see what the situation was. The goddess reached a balcony and took a look at the surrounding area. A mile away from the walls of the Capitol, there were Hookocho's forces. The robots were a light red color with gold color battle armor armed with swords, blasters, shields, and spears. Atalanta looked up at the sky and could faintly see a large round ship with spikes and antenna sticking out of it. It was Hookocho battle station and it floated like a massive hammer ready to strike.

"It looks like there's something going on among the enemy ranks!" Called a Spartan.

Atalanta turned to see three large metal red spheres rise up from the ranks of the robots and fly in a triangular pattern towards the Capitol. The spheres stopped a few hundred feet from the wall and a beam of light shot from the top of the spheres to turn into a giant hologram of Hookocho.

"People of the Capitol, by now you see that my army has you surrounded and very soon they will attack. You may try to fightback, but you will be overwhelmed by my forces. But I am a generous being. If you surrender and swear loyalty to me, then I will let you live and serve me. This is my only offer to you. Now what will you choose Queen Atalanta?" Said Hookocho.

"Here is my answer." Said Atalanta as she glowed with a faint blue energy and swung her sword at the air.

A crescent shape wave of energy flew from the sword and sliced the spheres to pieces causing them to explode and the hologram of Hookocho to vanish. The defenders of the Capitol cheered with approval at their queen's decision. It was then that Hookocho himself appeared at the front of his army and unleashed a massive blast of energy that blew a huge hole through the wall.

"Destroy them all!" Ordered Hookocho as his army charged forward.

A large group of defenders charged out and began to fight the invaders. The group of defenders fought bravely taking down several robots, but they were soon overwhelmed. The invaders rushed inside and they began to fight with more of the defenders. Atalanta leaped down from the balcony, she was on and sliced one of the invaders in half as she landed. The defenders cheered at the sight of their leader as she joined in on the battle. Atalanta swung her sword about dispatching one robot after another, but the invaders kept coming and coming. The goddess soon lost sight of the other defenders as she plunged into the enemy ranks. The fighting seemed to last for hours and Atalanta felt her herself growing weaker and weaker as the battle went on. A laser blast struck the queen in the back knocking her to the ground. Atalanta rolled to her back, just in time to see a robot ready to stab it's spear down at her. Before the robot could do the deed, a laser blast flew in and struck a hole through the robot's chest causing it to topple backwards. A few more laser blast came in and struck the heads off a few more robots forcing the others to retreat back. Atalanta turned to see a man with a short beard and dirty brown hair wearing a strange red uniform and carrying a blaster in his left hand and a sword in his right hand.

"Anybody teach you creeps it's not ok to gang up on a lady?" Called the man as he hacked the limbs off a few robots and made his way to Atalanta.

The man holstered his blaster and offered his hand to Atalanta. The queen took the hand and the man pulled her to her feet.

"Names Martin Mertens. Happened to be in the solar system, when I saw your planet under attack, so I came down here to see if I could help." Said the man as he and Atalanta stood back to back.

"I thank you for your aid. I am Queen Atalanta, Goddess of Adventure and ruler of this world." Said Atalanta as she deflected a sword blow from a robot and ran it through with her sword.

"A queen and a goddess. Never thought I meet those on the same day and I'm fighting an invasion of robots on the same day. This really must be my lucky day." Said Martin as he sliced the legs off one robot with his sword and blasted the head off of another robot with his blaster.

"May I ask what brings you to this part of the universe?" Asked Atalanta as she sliced a robot in half and then chopped the arms of another off.

"Well I'm an adventurer and I'm also a bit of a hero. Just chose your solar system by random and here I am in the middle of a great big battle alongside a lovely lady." Said Martin as he sliced the leg of a robot off.

"Well you have impeccable good timing. And do you call all the ladies you meet lovely?" Said Atalanta as she sliced the head of a spear off and sent it smashing through the heads of three robots.

"Only the ones who look good and aren't afraid of a little tough battle." Said Martin as he rammed his sword through the chest of one robot and shot a hole through another with his gun.

"Your quit a charming Mr. Mertens." Said Atalanta as she deflected a laser blast at a robot and destroyed it.

"Please call me Martin, your majesty." Said Martin as he chopped a robot's arm off.

"Alright I'll call you Martin and you can simply call me Atalanta." Said Atalanta as she chopped a robot's head in half.

"Works for me." Said Martin.

The two of them fought side by side and when either one of them fell or was about to be overwhelmed the other would immediately come to their aid. The battle continued on and soon the two fighters found themselves completely surrounded by robots, but instead of charging and attacking the robots stepped back and then they parted. Martin and Atalanta watched as Hookocho marched forward carrying a large bloodstained sword in his hands and smirking.

"I must congratulate for surviving this long Atalanta and I see you picked up a little friend along the way, but I'm afraid this is where your luck runs out." Said Hookocho.

"We'll have a taste of my luck creep!" Shouted Martin as he fired a laser at Hookocho.

Hookocho simply raised his left hand and fired a burst of lighting that went through Martin's laser and raced towards the human. Martin let out a shout of surprise and quickly dove out of the way, making him drop his sword. Hookocho just laughed as he prepared to fire another blast of lightning at Martin, but Atalanta jumped in and swung her sword downwards at the villain forcing him to leap back and focus his attention on the queen. Atalanta's body glowed with a light blue light as she prepared her next attack. Hookocho just chuckled as his body sparked with mystical lightning. The two warriors leaped at one another swinging their swords. The blades met with a thunderous crash that unleashed a massive shockwave and kicked up a bunch of dust. When the dust cleared it showed that Atalanta and Hookocho had locked blades with one another and were pushing against each other with all their might. Neither one of them was giving an inch.

"I...must say your quit strong even after all this fighting you've been doing you still have quit a bit of energy. It's really quit admirable and if this was a fair fight victory might have gone to you, however I'm not afraid to fight a little dirty." Said Hookocho as he reached behind his back with his left hand, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed it into Atalanta's gut!

Atalanta gasped in pain and her strength faltered a little. Hookocho slammed his shoulder into the goddess knocking her back, before he raised his left hand and blasted her with a burst of lightning knocking her to the ground. The queen tried to get up, but Hookocho blasted her with more lightning. Atalanta screamed out in pain as Hookocho laughed evilly.

"You really should have taken my offer. It would have prevented all this suffering!" Laughed Hookocho as he kicked Atalanta's sword away.

Before the villain could go about torturing and finishing off Atalanta, Martin charged in and tackled Hookocho to the ground. Martin slammed his fist into Hookocho's face three times, before Hookocho caught his fist with his free hand and started to shock the human. Hookocho was fixing to throw Martin off of him, when the human slammed his head into his face giving him a bloody nose.

"Why you stupid meddlesome wretch!" Snarled Hookocho as he increased the shock and hurled Martin off of him.

Martin hit the ground with a thud and laid on it moaning. Hookocho stood up and walked towards the human prepared to finish him off, when he heard a noise from above that made him look up at the sky. A few dozen white ships were flying through the air and bombing Hookocho's battle station! Parts of the battle station began to burst and explode as the bombs hit and then the entire thing exploded!

"Noooooo!" Screamed Hookocho.

"It's...about time those guys I called showed up." Groaned Martin with a faint smile.

All around the Capitol all the robots suddenly fell to the ground in a lifeless heap. The battle station had been giving them orders and code, but without it the robots were reduced to lifeless hunks of metal with no direction. Hookocho stared at his defeated army and then he turned to Martin prepared to kill him.

"You will pay for you interference with your life!"

"You will do no such thing! This ends now!" Shouted Atalanta as she charged at Hookocho with a glowing fist prepared to punch the villain.

Hookocho turned to face the goddess ready to strike her with his sword, but Martin pulled out his blaster and hit Hookocho's sword hand with a laser blast making him shout in pain and drop his sword. Atalanta slammed her fist into Hookocho's gut making his mouth open in a scream of pain as his eyes bulged out. Hookocho was sent flying back and smashed into a wall with a thunderous crash, where the villain slumped into a unconscious heap. Atalanta's body stopped glowing and she went to tend to Martin. The human was battered and bruised with a few burns, but he wasn't to seriously hurt. Martin looked up at Atalanta with tired eyes.

"Is...this the Lightosphere?" Asked Martin.

"Why would you think that?" Asked Atalanta.

"Well there's a beautiful angel in front of me, so this must be the Lightopshere." Said Martin with a smile.

"Well that's a nice thing to say. This may not be the Lightosphere, but you will be treated well. You helped me and my people and you showed a great deal of honor and courage. I thank you Martin." Said Atalanta as she leaned in and kissed Martin on the lips.

"Your sure I'm not in the Lightosphere, because that kiss felt like paradise." Said Martin with a smile, before he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

Atalanta smiled at the human and called some of her men to take him to the medical bay to have his wounds tended to.

End of flashback.

Finn sat on the bed starring at his mom in wide eyed amazement.

"So dad helped save you and your planet. That's amazing!" Said Finn.

"It is. Your father was quit a charmer and a hero back in the day. I suppose that's what attracted me to him." Said Atalanta.

"So how did I come to be and how did dad get into so much trouble that he tried to escape to Earth, but accidentally sent me there instead?" Asked Finn.

"That's another story and unlike the first one it doesn't quit have a happy ending, but you have a right to know what happened." Said Atalanta as she prepared to tell her son what happened next.

To be continued.
