(Author's Note: Last chapter of this little arc and then its back to Finn and Hyrule. Enjoy the chapter and Merry Christmas.)
Outside Palace Posterior, Fright Knight was causing havoc among the attacks, he sliced his sword through the air and managed to hit both a fairy and a Wizard Police officer. Both victims managed to let out a scream of terror before they just simply vanished like Peace Master. Plague Knight hurled several of his bombs at the frightful villain, but he sliced them to bits and charged at the short knight. Plague Knight quickly pulled out a small vial of purple liquid and smashed it to the ground by his feet creating a purple cloud of smoke that covered him. Fright Knight swung at the cloud, but his blade struck nothing as three shapes quickly jumped out of the cloud away from the dark knight. The shapes turned out to be there Plague Knights.
"Your might is no match for my mind!" Shouted the Plague Knights as they began to toss bombs at Fight Knight.
Fright Knight sliced a few of the bombs up, but he wasn't able to slice all of them. A few bombs hit him and sent him crashing to the ground with a bang. The Plague Knights closed in on the down knight thinking it would be easy to finish him off, but things took a turn for the worst. Fright Knight hurled his sword at one of the Plague Knights and it hit the knight making him explode into green smoke. The dark knight then called his sword back and it flew back to his hand. Fright Knight then flew at and struck one of the other Plague Knights and it burst into a cloud of green smoke. That only left one Plague Knight left and it was the real one. Plague Knight let out a panicked cry as he, turned and leaped into the air intending to flee. Fright Knight flew after him closing the distance in a few seconds.
"You can hide behind your clever tricks and illusions nave, but fear will find and grip you in the end!" Said Fright Knight as he struck Plague Knight in the back with his sword.
Plague Knight let out a scream before he vanished. Fright Knight was fixing to turn his attention to Slippy and Momo, but Branka appeared before him swinging her daggers at him and put the knight on the defensive. Heckapoo decided to take this opportunity to go to Dimensional Wizard and tell him what happened to Peace Master. Dimensional Wizard was currently facing off against Gamechild, along with Usagi and Circe. Circe fired a sonic screech at Gamechild dodged out of the way and grabbed the aquatic vampire and threw her into Usagi knocking them both to the ground. Dimensional Wizard opened up a small dimensional portal in front of himself and trusted his hand through it. A large dimensional portal opened up above Gamechild and a giant size version of Dimensional Wizard's hand came crashing down on the monster. Gamechild raised his arms up and caught the fist. The ground cracked beneath Gamechild as he struggled under the weight of the fist. Gamechild's screen cracked a little before he unleashed a powerful energy beam from it, burning the hand and forcing it back through the portal. Dimensional Wizard yanked his hand from the portal and grimaced as he held it. Gamechild was fixing to attack the wizard, when a portal opened up next to him and Heckapoo flew out and slashed the monster's arm making it bleed energy. The monster roared in pain and anger, but before it could do anything Broot grabbed one of it's tentacles and yanked it away from the wizards. Heckapoo ran towards his, who was using his magic to heal his injury.
"Master Dimensional Wizard! Peace Master was stabbed by the sword of that creepy knight and he just vanished!" Cried Heckapoo.
"That's not good." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"What happened to him?" Asked Heckapoo.
"That knight is called Fright Knight and his sword is called Soul Shredder. It has the ability to send those struck by it to a dimension where they are tortured by their worst fears." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"Ok so all those guys that vanished are still alive. That's good. So how do we get them back?" Said Heckapoo.
"If you were to strike the Soul Shredder with your dimensional scissors you should be able to get a reading on the dimensional reading on the blade and be able to travel to the fear dimension the others were sent to and free them." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"Ok just have to get close to the murderous knight to strike his sword to get an energy reading and avoiding getting hit by his sword and banished to a fear dimension. No biggie." Said Heckapoo looking a little nervous.
"We need Peace Master. He knows how to capture and seal the evils that have been unleashed." Said Dimensional Wizard.
Heckapoo just nodded as she looked for an opportunity to get close to Fright Knight.
Branka was still fighting Fright Knight and holding her own against the ghost, while on the sides Reize was fighting Toadies alongside Specter Knight. Reize jumped around delivering kicks and throwing his crystal boomerangs at Toadies, while Specter Knight fought closely by him. Specter Knight watched Reize closely with thoughts racing through his head.
"Of all the places to run into Luna's son it had to be here." Thought Specter Knight as he thought about his old partner, back when he was mortal.
Specter Knight had once been a man named Donovan and he had made a promise to his friend/partner Luna to look after Reize incase he died. That promise still held true. Reize finished off some Toadies and decided he wanted to fight Fright Knight. He hurled his boomerangs at the knight, only for the ghost to dodge out of the way and turned to face Reize. The boomerangs spun through the air and raced towards Fright Knight's back. Fright Knight expertly whirled around deflected one boomerang to the ground and dodged the other as it returned to Reize's hands. Branka tried to attack Fright Knight, but he forced her to jump back with a blast of fire with his sword. Fright Knight turned to face Reize and spoke.
"You have a brave spirit boy, but I'm must crush it."
"I'm not afraid of you!" Shouted Reize as he held his remaining boomerang up for battle.
Fright Knight chuckled as he charged towards the boy. Reize swung his boomerang like a sword at Fright Knight, only to have it battered aside with ease by the knight's sword. Fright Knight slashed Reize across the chest and the boy screamed as he vanished.
"Reize!" Cried Branka in horror.
Another warrior was gone from the battlefield. Fright Knight was fixing to go take down another warrior, when Specter Knight appeared before him swinging his scythe at him. Fright Knight managed to bring his sword up and blocked the attack, but the force behind the blow sent him flying back through the crowd of fighters sending Toadies, fairies, and Wizard Police officers flying, before crashing into the castle wall and creating a crater in it! Everyone momentarily stopped to look at Fright Knight in stunned shock.
"Bring the child back or I will make you suffer!" Roared Specter Knight.
Fright Knight let out a groan as he started to push himself out of the crater, when suddenly Heckapoo popped up next to him from a portal and struck his sword with her scissors. Heckapoo then quickly vanished back into the portal as Specter Knight hurled his scythe at Fright Knight. Fright Knight flew out of the way and the scythe smashed into the wall and became imbedded in it. Thinking quickly Fright Knight turned towards Specter Knight and blasted him with flames from his sword. The flames hit Specter Knight and he fell to the ground in flames. Fright Knight lifted his sword in the air for victory, but it was short lived as Specter Knight got back to his feet and pointed his hand at the scythe and it flew from the wall and into his hands. Specter Knight waved his scythe in the air creating a gust of wind that blew the flames out on his body. He then turned to face Fright Knight.
"Who are you?" Asked Fright Knight.
"I am Specter Knight and I'm afraid you won't be able to get rid of me so easily. You see I'm undead and I'm very driven my something sacred." Said Specter Knight.
"And what may that be?" Asked Fright Knight.
"A promise I made to a brother in arms." Said Specter Knight.
"Ah very nobel. I respect you Specter Knight, but I will not yield to you. To battle!" Said Fright Knight before he flew forward with his sword grasped in two hands.
Specter Knight met his charge swinging his scythe. The sword and scythe met with a thunderous crash. The two knights began to fight. Branka just watched the fight in awe as the others continued fighting.
Heckapoo appeared a few yards away from the fighting and studied her scissors and the dimensional energy she got from Fright Knight's sword. After getting a read on the energy she opened a portal with her scissors.
"Here goes nothing." She said as she stepped through the portal and vanished.
As Fright Knight and Specter Knight fought each, Gamechild was fighting Broot. The two were grappling with one another, when Gamechild fired a laser from his screen face and burned a hole through Broot's shoulder causing him to yell and topple backwards. Sprocket jumped to his friend's aid, but Gamechild swatted him away with one of his tentacles and sent the clone crashing into General Rabbit knocking the magician off his unicycle and to the ground. William charged at Gamechild next swinging his big sword down at the monster, but Gamechild caught the blade between his clawed hands before it could do any damage and sent William flying through the air with a laser blast to the chest. The android flew several yards before crashing to the ground and Gamechild went about attacking Wizard Police and fairies.
Elsewhere Dimensional Wizard found himself fighting alongside Jordan. The two eyed one another, before speaking.
"Why are you and some of King's force here?" Asked Dimensional Wizard.
"Long story short, a few of our candy forces were sent over here to recruit Moldy Butt, but they ended up being captured and now we're here to rescue them and put a stop to whatever Moldy Butt is planning." Said Jordan.
"Seems we have a common goal and enemy then. I suggest a truce between our forces." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"Truce." Said Jordan.
The two then turned to face Gamechild. Dimensional Wizard opened up a portal to thrust his arm through it and a portal appeared over Gamechild and a giant version of Dimensional Wizard's fist appeared above to slam down on the monster. Gamechild prepared to catch the fist and blast it with his laser like he did before, but this time Jordan blasted him with a energy blast causing the monster to double over. Dimensional Wizard's fist slammed down on Gamechild with a thunderous thud. Dimensional Wizard reeled his fist back in to reveal Gamechild laying on the ground with a broken right horn, his left feathered wing was hanging at an odd angle, and he was leaking magical energy from several scars on his body. A bunch of Toadies eyed the injured Gamechild and then looked at Dimensional Wizard and Jordan nervously. Dimensional Wizard and Jordan moved in to deal with Toadies.
Meanwhile Heckapoo had entered a strange dark empty dimension with a few splotches of green scattered about. Heckapoo saw Peace Master, Reize, Plague Knight, a Wizard Police officer, and a fairy floating on little splotches of green up ahead. The five victims floated about screaming as the dimension tortured them with their worst fear. Peace Master saw images of violence and his children suffering, Reize saw his father who told him he was disappointed in him, Plague Knight saw his assistant Mona rejecting his feelings for her, the police officer thought he was naked and a crowd of people were laughing at him, and the fairy thought it was stuck on a giant piece of flypaper. Heckapoo wasn't able to see the others's fears, but she was able to guess what they were from the terrified screams she heard. She quickly made some copies to grab all the victims, they grabbed them, and they all exited through a scissor portal and returned back to the battlefield.
"We're back." Said Heckapoo as her copies vanished.
Peace Master recovered first and took stalk of the situation. Heckapoo filled him in, while the others recovered.
"Thanks for the save. I know exactly how to take Fright Knight down." Said Peace Master as he reached into his magic bag and pulled out a pumpkin.
"A pumpkin?" Asked Heckapoo.
"Stab the Fright Knight's sword into it and he'll be trapped in it." Explained Peace Master.
"Alright then." Said Heckapoo.
The two left the others and raced over to Specter Knight and Fright Knight, who were still fighting. They stopped and stood next to Branka and let her in on what needed to be done. Branka nodded and readied her daggers. Heckapoo opened up a portal and she and Branka leaped through it and appeared next to Fright Knight and Specter Knight. Branka swung her daggers at a surprised Fright Knight, who quickly raised his sword and blocked the incoming attack. Specter Knight took this opportunity to slam his scythe into Fright Knight's side knocking him to the ground and making the knight lose the grip on his sword. The Soul Shredder skidded across the ground and Heckapoo quickly scooped it up, conjured up a portal, and tossed it through. A portal appeared next to Peace Master and he caught the sword as it came out. Peace Master lifted up the sword and prepared to stab it down into the pumpkin.
"No! This night of fright shall not end!" Bellowed Fright Knight as he fired two beams of energy from his eyes at the pumpkin.
The beams struck the pumpkin and it exploded!
"Victory!" Yelled Fright Knight.
"That...was the only pumpkin I brought." Mumbled Peace Master.
"I think we can solve that." Said Sprocket as he and Broot walked up to Peace Master.
"I am Broot." Said Broot as he stuck his righthand into the ground.
The ground began to shake a little and a pumpkin with a vine on it attached to Broot's arm popped out of the ground. Everyone, who saw this was completely dumbfounded. Especially Peace Master and Fright Knight.
"Nice one buddy." Said Sprocket.
"I am Broot." Said Broot as he ripped the vine off and handed it to Peace Master.
"Thank...you." Said Peace Master as he took the pumpkin and prepared to stab it.
"No!" Cried Fright Knight as he prepared to fire eye beams and fly forward.
"Not this time. It's over for you." Said Specter Knight as he grabbed Fright Knight from behind and tilted him backwards.
Fright Knight's eye beams fired harmlessly into the sky, while he jerked around trying to escape Specter Knight's grasp, but the other knight held the ghost knight in a grip of iron. Peace Master stabbed the sword into the pumpkin and Fright Knight let out an anguished scream as he vanished from Specter Knight's hold.
The Toadies that were left standing saw Fright Knight get defeated and they lost their nerve. They turned and fled the scene. Some fled into the castle, while others ran into the empty lands surrounding the castle. Gamechild managed to recover a little and retreated into the castle. The Peace Protectors, wizards, and King's forces regrouped and prepared to storm the castle. Branka was filled in on Moldy Butt and she agreed to help the Peace Protectors and wizards. The Solstice glanced over at Reize, who still seemed to be suffering under the affects of the fear dimension. Specter Knight went over to stand before Reize.
"What fear did you have to face?" Asked Specter Knight.
"I...saw my father and he told me he was ashamed and disappointed in me." Said Reize.
Specter Knight let out a little chuckle and Reize stared up at him with both anger and confusion. The undead knight stared back at the boy.
"Kid I can say with absolute certainty that your father loves you is very proud. If he was here right now he might scold you for being reckless, but he would also tell you, you fought with both courage and honor. Now pick yourself up and move forward." Said Specter Knight before he turned and walked away to join his group.
"Just who is that guy?" Said Reize as Branka came up and stood besides him.
"I'm not sure, but despite his appearance there's a nobel and honorable soul in that body, that seems to care about you. You should have seen the way he attacked Fright Knight after you got banished to the fear dimension." Said Branka.
Reize listened as Branka told him what happened as he watched Specter Knight rejoin his group. Specter Knight took out his locket and considered using the magic spell on it to return himself back into his mortal self, but he had a feeling he was still going to need his supernatural undead body and strength for what was in the castle and he wasn't yet ready to reveal who he truly was to Reize just yet. Not mention he still didn't quit trust the magician Florence who put the spell on the locket. Specter Knight would just simply have to wait for the right opportunity.
The two groups joined up and they stormed into the castle to face Lord Moldy Butt.
While all the fighting had been going on outside Gargaroth was eating four more sacrifices, while the other sacrifices watched on with horror. Skeeter stood several yards away from the sight near the building, when a big crystal arm came out of the shadows and yanked him back. The mummy found himself being held by Shane.
"What's going on and where is Alria?" Said Shane.
"Well Lord Moldy Butt just did one heck of a big summoning and called Gargaroth up. Now Gargaroth is chomping down on a bunch of unlucky folks, being served as sacrifices and after his done he'll feast on the people of the world like an all you can eat buffet. Gargaroth is Moldy Butt's ultimate weapon. As to what happened to the kid, well she got sucked into a Jack-In-The-Box by some creepy duck clown along with a couple of the sacrifices." Said Skeeter as he pointed at the box several yards away.
Shane eyed the scene before him not sure what to do. He eyed the box and wondered if Alria was ok.
There existed another dimension within the Jack-In-The-Box that served as Paddywhack's home and prison. It was a strange looking place full of furniture, plants, and obscure shapes. Alria found herself in a giant birdcage, while Nemo and the lollipop man stood a few yards away dressed in black and white prison uniforms. Paddywhack appeared before the group with an evil smile on his face as he suddenly grew to the size of a giant. He reached down and picked up the two the two candy people.
"I'm going to prepare you for Gargaroth. His going to enjoy eating you two." Chuckled Paddywhack as a large chocolate fountain appeared before him and he began dipping the candy people in it.
Alria watched from her cage and realized she had to do something. She looked at her violin and knew what she had to do. Music was said to have the power to set a person free and that's what Alria planned to do. Alria began to play her magical instrument unleashing a pleasant tune and a bunch of magical notes. The notes changed themselves into a key and opened the cage allowing Alria to step out.
Paddywhack meanwhile had summoned a couple of nutcrackers over his prisoners's chocolate coated heads. The nutcrackers chomped some nuts and let the pieces fall onto the prisoners. Paddywhack let out a wicked laugh, but then he heard Alria's music and turned to look at the girl. The pleasant music hit the duck causing him to reel back and shrink a little. Paddywhack recovered and placed his prisoners on the ground, before he stomped towards Alria.
"That's enough of that." Said Paddywhack as he reached for the girl.
"Oh, but I'm still getting started. It's a bright sunny day here!" Said Alria as her notes changed themselves into a bright smiling sun.
"Aaaaaaa! I can't see!" Cried Paddywhack as he stumbled back and fell to his back shrinking to his normal size in the process.
Nemo and the lollipop man noticed a couple of cream covered pies laying nearby. They exchanged looks, picked them up, and raced towards Paddywhack, who was just getting up. Nemo and the lollipop man slammed the pies into Paddywhack's face and they burst out laughing. Paddywhack shrank a few feet from the laughing which, reduced him to a foot tall. Alria played some more music and the notes summoned a bunch of beautiful flowers and butterflies.
"All...this cuteness and...positivity...its too MUCH!" Cried Paddywhack as he shrank down to a couple of inches.
"Then I guess you better release us from this place." Said Nemo.
"Yes fine, be GONE!" Cried Paddywhack as he raised his arms in the air.
There was a bright light and Nemo, Alria, and lollipop man were spat out of the box. Nemo and the lollipop man were out of the prisoner clothes, though they still had chocolate and nuts on them. Semitaur saw the trio and began to stomp towards them, when he was suddenly whirled around and punched in the face by Shane knocking him to the ground.
"Shane!" Cried Alria happily at the sight of the golem.
"Glad your ok kid. I was starting to get a wee bit worried about you." Said Shane.
Before anything else could be said Semitaur got back up and charged into Shane with his horns slamming him into a wall. The horns didn't penetrate Shane's crystal exterior, but they did cause a few sparks. Shane grunted as he pushed Semitaur back and the two began to grapple with each other.
It was then that Gamechild and the Toadies came limping in on the scene followed by the Peace Protectors, wizards, and King's forces.
"Stop them!" Shouted Moldy Butt to his forces.
The monsters and Toadies charged forward to combat the intruders as Gargaroth ate more of the sacrifices. JoJo lumbered towards the intruders with his mouth wide open and got a bunch of bombs thrown into it by Plague Knight. The bombs exploded and JoJo sloshed back roaring in pain as Peace Master pulled out a magic book and sucked the monster into it. Snowballs charged at a group of Wizard Police and began to breath fire from it's icy mouth at them!
"What kind of snow monster breaths fire?!" Shouted a Wizard Police officer as he and his comrades hid behind their magic shields.
Usagi came to their aid by leaping onto Snowballs's back and unleashed a massive electrical shock through the monsters body. Snowballs roared in pain and thrashed around, flinging Usagi from his back. Broot then came in and delivered a powerful punch to Snowballs's face dazing the monster and allowed Peace Master to suck it into his magic book.
Kavaxas stood his ground as both William and Specter Knight flew at him swinging their weapons at him, the dragon monster easily caught their weapons with his clawed hands. Branka charged at the monster with her daggers, but Kavaxas shot his tail out and grabbed her by the throat. The demon dragon chuckled as he prepared to fire a blast of fire from his mouth, but Circe flew in and delivered a powerful punch that knocked Kavaxas off balance and made him release his grip on the others. Circe then fired a sonic scream that knocked Kavaxas back. Kavaxas just snarled as he regained his balance.
"You are strong, but your no match for the might of Kavaxas!"
Kavaxas then summoned a spear and rushed the warriors.
Gargaroth had eaten most of the sacrifices except for one gumdrop person, Nemo, and the lollipop man. The monster reached out one it's arms, grabbed the gumdrop person, and began to drag him towards one of his mouths. Nemo quickly came to the gumdrop person's aid by grabbing him and chunked a fist size rock at one of Gargaroth's eyes. The rock struck a large eye making Gargaroth roar in pain and release the gumdrop person. The lollipop man ran over and helped Nemo drag the gumdrop person away.
Dimensional Wizard, Peace Master, Heckapoo, Jordan, and General Rabbit fought their way through a large group of Toadies and reached Moldy Butt, who stood before them, with Gargaroth behind him.
"Stop this madness Moldy Butt! You unleashed the Devourer and put the whole world in danger!" Said Peace Master.
"Your power may be great Moldy Butt, but you can not beat the five of us." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"That may be true, but I came incredibly well armed to deal with the likes of you." Said Moldy Butt with a grin as he reached into a bag tied to his waist.
Moldy Butt pulled out two golden arm bands and slapped them on. Everyone watched stunned as Moldy Butt grew an extra set of arms.
"The Armbands of Shiva!" Cried Peace Master.
Moldy Butt then reached into his bag to pull out a small gold tiara decorated with a gold cobra and red gemstone, a small white and blue curved scepter, and a gold necklace with a red gemstone. The wizard put them on and he suddenly began to sprout several long black hairs all across his head, giving him dazzling long black hair. The hair then turned out to be a bunch of slithering black snakes with red eyes.
"The tiara, scepter, and necklace of Cleopatra!" Cried Dimensional Wizard.
"Ok this is seriously getting freaky! We need to take this guy down, before he pulls anymore tricks out of that bag." Said Heckapoo.
The others agreed and were fixing to attack, when a bunch of Gargaroth's arms thrashed around forcing them to leap back. Lord Moldy pulled out a golden rod with one end shaped like an ankh and the other end shaped like prongs that support a blue scarab shaped gem, a golden apple with a big K on it, a wand that seemed to be a stick with a gold star sheriff's badge that had beady eyes, a smiling mouth full of rotten teeth.
"The Scarab Scepter of Pharaoh Duulaman!" Said Dimensional Wizard pointing at the golden rod.
"The Apple of Discord! Created by Eris the Greek Goddess of Chaos!" Said Peace Master pointing at the apple.
"The Golden Star Scepter! One of the most powerful and ancient relics in fairy history!" Cried Jordan as he pointed at the wand.
Lord Moldy Butt's upper right arm held the Scepter of Cleopatra in his upper lefthand, the Scarab Scepter in his upper righthand, the Apple of Discord in his lower lefthand, and the Golden Star Scepter in his lower righthand. Everyone just stared at Moldy Butt stunned as he let out an evil laugh and pulled out one last item from his bag. The item appeared to be a gold talisman with a red gemstone hanging from a necklace. Moldy Butt slipped it onto his neck and began to recite a incantation. The wizard's eyes turned white as his body began to change and become more muscular, hairy, and canine like. In a matter of seconds Moldy Butt had transformed into a jackal like monster.
"The Talisman of Anubis!" Cried Dimensional Wizard.
(Author's Note: Armbands of Shiva are from Jackie Chan Adventures, Cleopatra items are from Powerpuff Girls, Scarab Scepter is from Danny Phantom, Talisman of Anubis is from Kim Possible, and Apple of Discord and Golden Star Scepter are from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.)
"Behold puny mortals, for I, Lord Moldy Butt, have reached the level of god hood!" Boomed Moldy Butt.
"We need to take him down now!" Yelled Peace Master.
The five magic users gathered their energy and each threw a powerful magic blast at Moldy Butt. The dark lord just laughed as he swung his upper arms and easily destroyed the magic attacks with his scepters. Heckapoo and the others just stared at Moldy Butt stunned that their attacks had just simply been swatted away as if they were nothing. Lord Moldy Butt floated into the air a hundred feet over Gargaroth and he began to grow to the size of a building. He raised his arms up high and lightning began to light up the sky and strike the castle and area around it. Frogs suddenly began to rain down from the sky as swarms of locus and scarabs flew about attacking everything including Moldy Butt's own minions. All the fighting stopped as everyone was desperately trying to escape and avoid the chaos. A Wizard Police officer saw Paddywhack's box and picked it up and ran with it, Kavaxas broke away from his fight with Specter Knight, William, Branka, and Circe and ended up rescuing Gamechild from one of Gargaroth's arms, and Nemo and the two surviving sacrifices ran over to King's men to join them and seek safety.
"It is time to feast and destroy Gargaroth!" Boomed Moldy Butt to the giant monster.
Gargaroth let out a massive roar as his arms shot out to grab stuff. He grabbed some Wizard Police, some fairies, some Toadies, and chunks of the castle and shove it all into his multiple mouths and devoured it all! The monster's size and bulk increased, along with it's power with everything it ate. A few of the arms flung around and swatted anyone or anything that happened to be unlucky to be close by. Shane and Semitaur were wrestling and rolling on the ground. The golem was on top of Semitaur, when he saw one of the arms swinging towards them and quickly rolled over, so the Semitaur was on top of him. The arm struck the Semitaur sending him skywards! The Semitaur screamed as he flew over the castle walls and out of sight.
"You beat him!" Cheered Alria as she ran over to Shane.
"I did didn't I. Well I think it's high time we got out of here kiddo." Said Shane as he picked up Alria and took off running.
The Wizard Police, Peace Protectors, and King's forces were launching attacks at Gargaroth, but they barely seemed to faze the monster.
"Any ideas on how to stop this monstrosity?" Asked Plague Knight as he chunked bombs.
"This creature is to powerful to banish and it's power is growing. We could call for reinforcements, but that might not mobilize in time." Peace Master as he threw magical blast.
"Plus we have the crazy wannabe god to deal with." Said Heckapoo as she threw fireballs.
"We can throw our boots at them." Suggested a Wizard Police officer.
"Perhaps we can kill the Devourer by giving him something bad to eat." Suggested Jordan as he fired energy from his wand.
"I have a stock house full of explosives. We can feed him that." Said Plague Knight.
"I can get them here with my scissors and I know of a place of bad stuff we can feed Gargaroth." Said Heckapoo.
"We still have Moldy Butt to deal with. With all those magical items it'll be tough to beat him." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"I can tell y'all how to beat him." Said Skeeter popping up next to Heckapoo.
"Who are you and how do you know to beat Moldy Butt?" Asked Heckapoo.
"You can call me Skeeter. I was reanimated by mister crazy god over there, so I could tell him how to use some of those Egyptian magical items his using. Now what you need to do is remove the tiara from Moldy Butt's head, that make the scepter and necklace of Cleopatra stop working and make him shrink down. Next you need to take the Talisman of Anubis off, so Moldy Butt will turn back to his self. And lastly you need to take the Armbands of Shiva off to make Moldy Butt lose the extra arms and drop some of his other magic weapons." Said Skeeter.
"That could work." Said Dimensional Wizard.
"Alright we need to move fast and take them down at the same time." Said Heckapoo as she made four more copies of herself.
One copy took Plague Knight and opened up a portal to his stock house, before the two leaped through it. Another copy opened up another portal, went through it, and vanished. Everyone else prepared to leap into action.
In the Void, Rob and Bobert were dropping off to new prisoners. The newcomers were two men called Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath and they were the creators of Teen Titans Go.
"So basically you two are being punished for creating a horrible show, making fun of the original show and comics your show is based off of, insulting everything superheroes stand for, poor comedy, insulting the critics of your show, using poor excuse to defend your show, insulting fans of the original Teen Titans, lying to your fans and public, teaching bad morals, telling people Christmas is all about getting presents, and failing to understand why people like the original Teen Titans." Said Rob.
"Don't we get a lawyer or something to try and settle this?" Asked Michael.
"No. Enjoy spending eternity with your creations and a ton of other mistakes." Said Rob as he and Bobert left the Void.
"Well at leaf things can't possibly get worse." Said Aaron.
"Dude seriously?! Don't you know that whenever someone says that, things instantly get worse!" Yelled Michael.
It was at that moment that a Heckapoo copy appeared in the Void and used her scissors to open up a portal that began to suck everything in the Void up.
"You see what I mean!" Screamed Michael as he, Aaron, and the other inhabitants of the Void, were sucked through the portal.
In a large stock house at Castle Lemongrab a bunch of explosives were being sucked through a portal.
Back at Palace Posterior two portals appeared above Gargaroth and began to dump explosives and Void inhabitants into the monster's multiple mouths. Gargaroth munched hungrily on the treats and he started to become get bloated.
While that was happening two portals opened and two Heckapoo copies popped out floating on flames. Moldy Butt glared at them and was prepared to swat them, but both copies unleashed a binding flash of light causing the dark wizard to scream in pain and cover his eyes. The hair of snakes was also blinded by the flashes and they thrashed around blindly. The Heckapoo copies flew over to the tiara and began to yank on it. The real Heckapoo popped up near Moldy Butt's chest and began to saw at the necklace that had Talisman of Anubis. Dimensional Wizard opened up a portal in front of himself and entered it. A large portal opened up in front of Moldy Butt and a Dimensional Wizard the size of Moldy Butt flew out and grabbed Moldy Butt's upper arms going for the armbands. In a matter of seconds the armbands, tiara, and talisman were removed. Moldy Butt lost his hair and extra arms, as he returned to his normal size and self dropping the Apple of Discord and Golden Star Scepter in the process.
"My powers! My hair! My muscles! My arms! There're gone! Nooooooo!" Screamed Moldy Butt as he fell towards Gargaroth below.
Gargaroth was extremely bloated and he felt funny as Moldy Butt fell into a large mouth on the top of his fat body. Moldy Butt was sticking halfway out of the mouth as the Apple of Discord landed next to him and unleashed a chaotic spark of energy through Gargaroth's body. The chaotic spark was enough to set off the explosives that mixed in with all the other bad things the monster ate. Gargaroth's body shuddered and shook. Lord Moldy Butt's eyes went wide with horror and he let out a scream as Gargaroth's body exploded.
BOOOOM!
The explosion tore through the castle destroying most of the castle and produced a bunch of smoke. The smoke cleared and revealed that Gargaroth and Moldy Butt were gone. The combined forces let out a collective cheer of victory.
"Well the dark wizard is gone. Now we are free. Let's explore this world and plot our next course of action." Said Kavaxas to Gamechild.
Gamechild had recovered from some of his wounds and nodded his head in agreement. The two monsters flew away from the scene.
The wizards combed through the wreckage and managed to recover all the magical items that Moldy Butt had used in the battle. They let Jordan have the Golden Star Scepter, since it was a fairy object and they felt like they owed him for his and his comrades help. Jordan thanked the wizards and he, his comrades, and the rescued candy people marched off back to Castle Lemongrab. Some Toadies were arrested and Skeeter was taken into custody for questioning. Slippy approached Branka and Reize and offered them to join up with the Peace Protectors, which they accepted. The Peace Protectors found Shane and Reize asking them if they had a place to stay, they said no and so the Peace Protectors decided to take them to the Ice Kingdom. Eventually everyone left the wrecked castle.
Miles away Kavaxas and Gamechild had encountered Crimson, who offered the monsters to join the organization. Kavaxas and Gamechild were interested and agreed to Crimson's offer.
Elsewhere a large group of runaway Toadies came across the Semitaur, who was battered and bruised, but still alive. The Toadies looked at Semitaur for leadership since, he was Moldy Butt's top enforcer. Before anything could be decided on Maja suddenly appeared before them in a flash of light.
"Your master Lord Moldy Butt is no more. If you wish to avenge him and destroy the ones who killed him, then pledge your allegiance to me." Said Maja.
The Semitaur and Toadies kneeled and bowed to their new master. Maja grinned at her new minions.
At the remains of Palace Posterior, Dimentio was looking through the wreckage, until he came across a small black and red stone. The jester pocketed the stone and teleported away.
In the wrecked remains of Moldy Butt's private study, Laser Wizard was looking through the ruins for magical objects, when he came across what appeared to be a map Moldy Butt was working on. The map had a picture of a mountain on it called Mount Ebott with the words location of Horror's Hand followed by a question mark. A grin broke out beneath Laser Wizard's mask as he folded and pocketed the map.
Over at Castle Lemongrab, Jordan's group had returned. Nemo and the other survivors told Jaybird what happened. Jaybird was furious about what happened and he stormed into King's office followed by four bodyguards.
"You idiot! I lost a bunch of good men because of you!" Yelled Jaybird.
"Now calm down Jaybird." Said King.
"I will not calm down! I used to respect you King, when you got me and got the leaders of the Slider Guys and Hooligans to join up to form a criminal organization, we thought you were pretty smart. When we got Castle Lemongrab, we thought you were brilliant. Then as time went by crazy stuff started happening and Sid leader of the Slider Guys and Candle Jack leader of the Hooligans got killed. Now a bunch of my men just got killed. Enough is enough. I'm taking my men along with the Slider Guys and Hooligans with me out of this dump!" Declared Jaybird.
Jaybird and his bodyguards marched out of the office. King pulled out a phone and made a call.
"We got a problem. Eliminate it."
Jaybird and his bodyguards were in the courtyard, when they noticed a bunch of the various criminals were giving them a wide berth and closing their stalls and booths. Bandit Princess then appeared on one of the castle walls with a few dozen Archer Bandits with arrows notched to their bows. Jaybird and his bodyguards watched in horror as Bandit Princess waved her sword down and the archers fired. The arrows flew and pierced the five candy criminals turning them into pincushions and killing them. The bodies were picked up and taken away. Business returned to Castle Lemongrab a few minutes later.
A great evil had been removed, but other evils remained.
To be continued.
