Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
At Bushroot's greenhouse laboratory, Liquidator and Bushroot were ready to launch their little attack on Castle Lemongrab. The two had come up with a plan and had purchased a couple of water proof video cameras to film themselves in action. After checking to see that everything was in order the two mutants put on some trench coats and fedoras and headed out towards Castle Lemongrab to enact their plan.
Meanwhile at Castle Lemongrab, King was in his office looking at a miniature map model of Ooo. King had dispatched some of his elite generals to keep an eye on certain kingdoms. In the Fire Kingdom there was Mole Knight and General Dragon. Mole Knight was a member of the Order of No Quarter. He was a heavyset knight, who wore red armor, with a fiery like plume and had two thick arms with long claws used for digging. General Dragon was the strongest of Puppet King's elite generals. He was a massive red Chinese style dragon puppet with a yellow underbelly and four antler like horns on his head. Off in the Ice Kingdom, there was Polar Knight. Polar Knight was a massive grey skinned humanoid, with a shaggy white bead, he wore a brown sleeveless tunic with a white fur pelt, brown boots, spiked shoulder pads, and a horned helmet with the horns pointed downwards. The knight's weapon of choice was a large snow shovel.
King turned his attention to another part of the model map and looked at the Jungle Kingdom. He believed that the dense jungle plant life would provide the perfect camouflage to set up a military base and airfield. General Rat had been sent out with Pajama Phil to do this, but were having trouble with the locals. Apparently the ruler of the Jungle Kingdom, Jungle Princess wasn't to keen on people from other kingdoms building stuff in her territory. King had sent out two members of the Freaky Monkey Five along with a group of monkey ninjas trained by Mandarin to deal with the problem. The two monkeys were Red Monkey and Yellow Monkey. Red Monkey was a muscular monkey that wore black shoes, red pants, a red sleeveless shirt that exposed six pack abs, red arm guards, and a black helmet with a green visor and a blue flashing light on top. Yellow Monkey was a big fat yellow furred monkey with green hair that wore a black sumo wrestler loincloth, red sandals, and a small silver helmet with a flashing blue light on it. King was confident in his forces in taking the Jungle Kingdom.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in." Said King.
The door opened and in strolled a knight that went by the name Propeller Knight. He was dressed smartly in black boots, brown pants with yellow lines, a green jacket shirt with gold buttons and epaulets, and a yellow helmet with a large propeller on top with two handles hanging beneath it on either side of the knight's head. Propeller Knight carried a rapier and was the commander of a fleet of flying ships. The ships resembled massive sailing ships, but instead of sails they had propellers on them that allowed them to fly.
"My liege the first weapon shipments have just arrived curtsey of Gnome Leader and Queen Blargetha. My airships picked them up at the factory and they are ready to be deployed at your command." Said Propeller Knight.
"Excellent." Said King.
"There...have also been unusual reports from the workers and guards about a cloud of smoke with a face floating around, inhaling fumes from the machines, and...singing about toxics." Said Propeller Knight.
"Its probably nothing more then a bunch of hallucinations from tired workers and staff." Said King.
"Perhaps your right." Said Propeller Knight.
King decided it was time to stretch his legs and check on how his kingdom was progressing. He walked out of the office followed by Propeller Knight.
Out in the courtyard several different creatures and people from all across the lands has gathered to join up with King and his forces. There were an assortment of odd looking individual all of them had an heir of danger about them. One of these individuals was a lemon candy person named Nemo and he was on a mission. Nemo had originally been a creation of Bubblegum, who had intended to use him to replace Lemongrab incase King started trouble, back when Lemongrab still held power at Castle Lemongrab. Then King had overthrown Lemongrab and the former ruler was living at the Candy Kingdom. Nemo had kind of drifted in the background of the Candy Kingdom for while and became another face in the crowd, until he met Rattleballs and decided to take sword fighting lessons from him. He became quit skilled and he used a short sword he named Clementine. Nemo wanted to prove his usefulness to the Candy Kingdom, so he snuck off to Castle Lemongrab pretending to be a mercenary who wanted to join King's so he could spy on them.
(Author's Note: Nemo is an OC who was mentioned in chapter 54 and I've only recently remembered him and am now working to give him a large role in the story.)
In another part of the courtyard, Bushroot and Liquidator were walking around trying to blend in. Liquidator snuck over to a fountain and when no one was looking, he oozed out of his trench coat with his waterproof camera and went up a pipe to explore Castle Lemongrab's pluming. Bushroot watched his partner disappear and decided to get to work. He made sure his camera was on and then he pointed his hands at some lemon trees and started giving them commands to attack the gathered people with their roots and chunk lemons at them. The crowd was immediately taken by surprise by the plant attack and a panic went through them. Bushroot smiled a little at the chaos.
Up in the castle, King and Propeller Knight had just walked into the throne room, where they were met by a surprise. Sitting in the throne was a member of the Order of No Quarter, who went by the name King Knight. The knight was dressed in red boots, gold armor, red puffy sleeves, a red cape with a white fur trim, and a gold crown on a gold helmet. He also carried a gold and red scepter. King glared at the knight sitting in his throne and coughed to get his attention. King Knight noticed the ruler and quickly hopped out of the throne.
"Your highness...I was...um just keeping your seat warm." Said King Knight quickly.
"Sure you were King Knight. Now is there anything new to report?" Said King as he sat in his throne.
"Well...the science division has made a little discovery about those three candy people that were brought in. Something about their minds being coated by some kind of chemicals or something like that." Said King Knight.
"Interesting." Said King.
It was then the chaos caused by Bushroot broke out in the courtyard getting everyone's attention.
"Now what?" Grumbled King.
In another part of the castle, Toronto was wearing a speedo and sitting in a hot tub with the Business Men and the leader of the Bath Boy Gang, who were all wearing speedos as well. The group were discussing business, when the water near Toronto bubbled a little.
"Gross man!" Said the Bath Boy leader.
"I didn't do that!" Complained Toronto.
A bunch of water began to rise out of the water and take on the shape of Liquidator.
"Hello Toronto." Said Liquidator with a grin.
"Bud Flud?!" Gasped Toronto in shock as he recognized the voice of the former water bottle plant owner.
"In the watery flesh and the names Liquidator now." Said Liquidator.
"What do you want?" Asked Toronto nervously.
"I'm here to liquidate you and make you sleep with the fishes! Now it's time to take a dive!" Said Liquidator as he used his powers to flood the room.
In a matter of minutes the room was completely flooded. Toronto and the others tried to breakout of the room through the door, but they couldn't get it to open. They began to struggle and drown and they would have most certainly died if, Treasure Knight haven't passed by and noticed a tiny bit of water trickling out beneath the door and quickly busted it down. The water poured out and Toronto and the others crashed to the ground just barely alive.
"I'll be back to close this deal Toronto." Vowed Liquidator as he quickly went down a nearby drain.
"Do I get paid extra for saving you?" Asked Treasure Knight as he looked down at Toronto.
Toronto just groaned.
Back at the courtyard, Bushroot was still causing chaos, when Tree Witch and Grassy Wizard arrived on the scene and used their magic to wrestle control of some of the plants away from Bushroot. Then Specter Knight and Mandarin showed and began to hack the trees up. Specter Knight used his scythe, while Mandarin used an energy sword that emerged from his right gauntlet. Bushroot watched with stunned awe as the two warriors made short work of the trees and then they glanced in his direction and looked directly at him. The plant mutant panicked and quickly ran for it using his powers to get a tree to get him over the wall and he escaped to his lab.
Liquidator showed up at the lab later, where he and Bushroot celebrated a little about the damage they caused. Bubblegum would surely hire them after they showed her what they did.
To be continued.
