Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
The angry mob of fire people glared with fierce fiery anger at the Candy Kingdom Royals as their hands glowed with flames. The protection team prepared themselves to fight as the mob began to rush them, but before the mob could reach their intended targets, Phoebe came flying in from above and landed right in front of the mob stopping them dead in their tracks. Phoebe glared at the mob, with her hands on her hips.
"What is the meaning of this?" Demanded Phoebe.
The anger in the crowd died down a bit and a few members of the crowd looked away from Phoebe and at the ground. One brave fire man stepped forward and spoke.
"We all lost loved ones in the Cooler incident. Moms. Dads. Children. Grandparents. Friends. Relatives. Wives. Husbands. All of them mercilessly killed by that traitor Bubblegum. She should have been executed or locked up as soon as she was found out, but instead she was let go and allowed to return to her own kingdom to await a trial. Well we don't care about no stupid trial! We want revenge for what was done to us! Bubblegum shall experience the same pain we felt by losing a husband and son!"
The rest of the crowd cheered and they raised their fist in the air. Phoebe just took a deep breath as she raised her hands in the air and blasted a great blast of flames into the air that could be seen from miles away. The display of power silenced the mob of fire people and they stared at Phoebe with awe and fear. Phoebe cutoff the display of power and looked at the mob with deep sincerity.
"Look I understand what you are all going through. The loss and pain we have all suffered is great. You have every right to be angry, but we mustn't let it blind us from doing something terrible. Bubblegum and two of her elite guards are responsible for the Cooler incident, no one else from the Candy Kingdom was involved. Braco didn't even know what Bubblegum was doing, until she actually did it. He and his son are innocent people, just like the people we lost. If you kill them, then you'll be no better then the ones that killed our loved ones and the rest of Ooo will see us all as monsters. Think about all the progress we have made with all the other kingdoms and villages since we opened our boarders to them and started showing them that we're not evil monsters. If you kill Braco and Neddy all that hard work and progress will be erased instantly and the Fire Kingdom will lose all trust and respect. I'm asking you all to let go of your hatred for the sake of our kingdom and future."
The mob thought about what their princess said and the anger they felt began to die down in most of them. However a few stubborn and vengeful members of the mob refused to back down. They clenched their fist and advanced forward. Finn, Jake, and Gata who were standing a yards away saw this and began making their way to Phoebe's side to aid her. Phoebe narrowed her eyes and raised her fist up prepared to take action.
"Step aside. We're going to distribute justice." Said a fire woman.
"No. Justice will be done the right way to the people who are actually responsible in court." Said Phoebe.
"It'll just be a slap on the wrist or Bubblegum will just weasel her way out of any punishment." Spat one fire man.
"Bubblegum will face justice and face punishment for her crimes. If you insist on going forward with this plan of murder and revenge, then you'll have to go through me first." Said Phoebe with a glare.
This sent a nerve of unease and fear through the mob. They knew that Phoebe was incredibly strong and that they had very little chance of besting her, plus her friends, and the bodyguards of the royals. As if that wasn't discouraging enough there was a sudden cold chili in the air and Simon descended from the sky above and landed next to Phoebe. Simon was wearing blue swim trunks, a white shirt, a open blue Hawaiian shirt, and sandals.
"Hello everyone. Nice day to be on the beach and have fun in the sun. Wouldn't want to spoil it now would we?" Said Simon looking at the mob.
Simon's tone was friendly, though the fire people could tell there was a warning be told to them through his words. The fire people shook their heads no as the fight went out of them and they all turned and walked away. Phoebe let out a sigh and relaxed and walked over to Braco.
"I'm so sorry about that. My people were completely out of line." Said Phoebe as she bowed her head.
"Hey it's alright. There's no need to apologize for that. They were just hurt and angry and I can't blame them for what happened to the Fire Kingdom. I'm just glad my son is safe and there was no death or bloodshed. So thank you for coming to our aid Phoebe." Said Braco with a smile.
"You're welcome." Said Phoebe returning the smile.
"So what are doing here?" Asked Finn looking at Simon.
"Oh I was already on my way here, with Betty and a few others, when I saw the flames Phoebe released into the air and figured it was some kind of trouble, so I flew ahead and arrived on the scene." Said Simon.
"Lucky us." Said Gata.
"Oh I think Phoebe and the rest of you had the situation handled. Now there is something you need to do." Said Simon.
"What's that?" Asked Finn.
"Go have some fun and go enjoy yourselves. You've all worked hard and earned a well deserved break." Said Simon.
"Can do." Said Finn as he and his group ran off to play some volleyball.
Simon just smiled and waited for his group to arrive.
"Quit a bit of drama." Thought Bebe as she sat under another tent and drank from a coconut cup.
Simon's group arrived and they setup underneath a huge tent. Rain tried to make some small talk with Mabel, who was still mad at him and chose to simply ignore him.
At another part of the beach William surfaced a hundred yards away and surveyed the beach goers, when he spotted Samantha walking around and hanging with Nyx, Ying, Kai, Chi, and Alcor. William recognized Samantha and narrowed his eyes at the cyborg. He thought about alerting the Peace Protectors, but he decided he would alert them once he captured Samantha.
"Enemy sighted. Preparing to engage." Said William as he prepared to launch himself out of the water.
To be continued.
