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

In Dipper's room, Dipper had the piece of Crimson's mask sitting on a small table as he started casting the spell. At first nothing happened, but then a small ball of light emerged from the mask piece and floated up into the air. The little ball of light flew to the door and stopped. Everyone looked at the ball in confusion and Pacifica went over and opened the door letting the ball of light fly out.

"After it!" Yelled Dipper.

They all took off running down the hall after the ball of light. None of them noticed Gideon lurking behind one door they. Gideon watched the group go by and he used his gravity powers to send Crimson's red ring flying and landing in Rain's pocket as he ran by. The evil child then snuck into Dipper's room and grabbed the mask piece before he snuck back to his room.

Back in the dinning room, Bubblegum stood up, pulled out the bubble creator, and pointed it at Gumbald, Bebe, and Blargetha. Simon, Betty, Braco, Patience, Chicle, Lolly, and Slime Princess looked at Bubblegum in shock and confusion, Bebe and Blargetha looked at the device with concern, and Gumbald just studied his niece and the device in her hands and kept perfectly calm. Crimson just smiled at the scene unnoticed.

"What is that Bubblegum and what are you planning to do?" Asked Bubblegum.

"Oh it appears my niece has created a device capable of creating black holes and I believe Bubblegum intends to use it to eliminate me and my companions." Said Gumbald.

"Bubblegum, why on Earth would you build a device like that and use it here?" Asked Braco with great concern.

"You heard what my uncle said. He plans on taking over the Candy Kingdom and the rest of Ooo. We have to put an end to him here and now! This bubble creator will make sure of that!" Said Bubblegum.

"You still haven't explained why you built a device that creates black holes." Said Chicle.

"Oh it's quit obvious, why she created a device like this. You see my dear niece here is super paranoid about everyone who isn't her one of her Candy People or creations. She doesn't trust anyone and those she does claim to be friends and allies is simply a lie to get close to others, so she could use them and keep a close eye on them. Bubblegum came to this meeting with the full intention of ending my life and she saw this as a golden opportunity to demonstrate her dangerous little toy to you all as a display of power and a warning not to cross her, or you'll suffer the same fate. Truly the work of a villain or a psychopath." Said Gumbald.

"SHUT UP!" Yelled Bubblegum.

"Bubblegum don't do it!" Said Simon standing up and looking at Bubblegum with pleading eyes.

"I have to! My uncle basically threatened all of us. He plans to hurt our kingdoms and our families. If we don't stop him now, he will destroy everything we love." Said Bubblegum.

"Kind of taking my words out of context. I never threatened any of you. I simply pointed out the eminent threat and I gave you all a way to save yourselves and your kingdoms. Now I would just like to point out that I am completely unarmed and I have no way of defending myself. So my niece here is about to commit cold blooded murder. Given her current track record I'm not surprised." Said Gumbald.

"This is different." Said Bubblegum.

"Oh really? You come to a place under the guise of peace and goodwill, but in actuality you came to kill something that might present a threat to you and your kingdom." Said Gumbald with a serious look on his face.

"You are a threat." Said Bubblegum gripping the bubble creator tightly.

"So those people in the Fire Kingdom you killed were a threat as well?" Asked Gumbald.

"No! It wasn't like that!" Yelled Bubblegum.

"Yet they are dead because of you. You say I'm a threat, yet I haven't really done anything. Why should anyone believe in or trust you Bubblegum? You lied and murdered thousands of innocent people, all for the sake of getting rid of something that might be a threat. The Fire Kingdom were your allies and you betrayed them. Now your intending of ending my life for the same exact reason. Clearly you haven't learned from your past actions and history is doomed to repeat itself here. Your such a disappointment." Said Gumbald standing up and shacking his head.

Bubblegum's body shook with anger at those words. Her twisted uncle was using her biggest mistake against her and making himself seem like a reasonable person and a victim to be compared to the citizens of the Fire Kingdom.

"Now I must ask everyone else, do you seriously still trust Bubblegum? My niece is clearly an unwell and dangerous person. Whose to say she isn't plotting to destroy each and every single one of you, when you present a threat to her. She already did it with the Fire Kingdom and now she plans to do the exact same thing to me. You should all think about that." Said Gumbald casting his over everyone at the table.

Bubblegum took a deep breath and raised the bubble creator up to point it at Gumbald. Braco, Patience, and Slime Princess exchanged concerned looks. The three of them had made a promise to Bubblegum and it looked like now it was time to take action. Braco stood up and placed a hand on Bubblegum's shoulder. Bubblegum looked at Braco.

"Don't do it." Said Braco.

"I have to. His going to hurt you, Neddy, and everything we care about. You don't know my uncle like I do. He won't stop...and I honestly don't know if I can beat him if I don't stop him now, while his unarmed and away from Castle Lemongrab and his lab." Said Bubblegum with a desperate look in her eyes.

"I understand, but taking your uncle down like this is the wrong way to go. I know your scared, but you're not alone in this. You have me and several others who care about you and we will get through whatever your uncle throws at us." Said Braco.

"He might be a creep, but his still your uncle and family. You kill him here it will haunt you and you'll just be proving him right." Said Slime Princess.

"Yeah just chill. Your uncle is just trying to provoke you. If he tries anything I'll just put him on ice." Said Patience.

"You're...right. This isn't the way to solve this." Said Bubblegum lowering the bubble creator.

"It appears my niece has some very good people to talk her back to her senses." Said Gumbald to himself.

"I'm proud of you Bubblegum, yet at the same time I'm a bit disappointed in you. You snuck a extremely dangerous weapon into my home and intended to use it on your uncle at the meeting. You should know I would have had Weiss searched Gumbald for any weapons before I allowed him to enter the palace and that I would have protected you incase he tried to physically attack. I'm also a bit disturbed that you built a destructive weapon like the bubble creator and didn't tell anyone here about it." Said Simon looking at Bubblegum like a stern parent.

"I apologize...for my actions. I was afraid of facing my uncle, but I should have put trust in you and my friends. My actions could have put you all in danger and I know I can trust you all. I originally made the bubble creator to deal with the Lich and his forces, but it's too powerful and destructive. A weapon like that can put the whole world in danger. I promise to destroy it and all schematics and blueprints of it." Said Bubblegum.

"I accept your apology. Now then it seems diplomacy has sadly failed. I really wish it did not, but I suppose not everything can be talked and handled peacefully." Said Simon.

"My offer is still on the table. If you agree to join King's alliance, Simon most of the other kingdoms and civilizations will surely follow your lead and join. All of Ooo would be united and a golden era will rise. So will you join King's alliance?" Said Gumbald looking at Simon.

Simon exchanged a look with Betty, before he turned his attention back to Gumbald.

"Your offer sounds tempting, but I must decline. I want Ooo to be untied, but not by King or his ilk. I have seen King and the types of people he associates with. The people of Ooo wouldn't be united or prosper under a rule like that. They would only be oppressed and forced into servitude under King's rule. I refuse to be a part of that."

"Very well. I respect your decision." Said Gumbald with a shrug.

It seemed like the meeting was going to come to a peaceful end, but things were about to change.

In another part of the palace Finn's group was still chasing after the North Star ball of light. The spell was a few yards away from the group as they followed it. Neddy and Eria were playing in the hall up ahead, when they saw the ball of light and became fascinated by it. The two children laughed and eagerly chased after the ball of light with Finn's group right behind them. They raced through the hallways and headed towards the dinning room.

In the dinning room Crimson heard the approaching group and decided to put his plan into action. Crimson shot a tiny red lighting bolt the size of a ant from his finger tip and struck the bubble creator. The device became active and started to make a bubble. Bubblegum looked down at the device horrified. For a split second Bubblegum thought about pointing the bubble creator at Gumbald and his two allies, but she instead pointed at the entrance of one of the hallways. A dark cube shaped bubble came out of the device and floated to the hallway entrance. Bubblegum was glad that she had set the bubble creator on it's lowest setting with a short time limit. The little black hole had a limited range and life expectancy. Everything would hopefully be fine.

Unfortunately things were fixing to go wrong. The spell came flying down the hall towards the dinning room and was immediately sucked up by the black hole. Bubblegum and the others in the room stared in open mouth shock as Neddy and Eria arrived on the scene and they started to get pulled towards the black hole!

"Neddy!" Screamed Bubblegum and Braco.

"Eria!" Screamed Simon and Betty.

The two children screamed as they got closer and closer to the black hole and oblivion.

To be continued.
