Disclaimer: I don't own anything. This is just a story for fun.

Finn, Fern, Phoebe, Gata, BMO, Huntress Wizard, Heckapoo, Undyne, Viper, Loke, Mack, and Vivian sat around a table outside a restaurant in a village in Waterfall, where they told the tales of their adventures. Heckapoo created a copy of herself and sent it back to the Cash Cruiser to check on Soos and to alert her when the boat reached the Lady Lucktopus. Huntress Wizard used a communication crystal to contact Brain Wiz in Snowdin to tell him their location and to bring the Gravity Falls humans and the others to them.

Gata filled Finn, Phoebe, Huntress Wizard, Viper, and Loke about the original plan to head to the Lady Lucktopus to collect information to help storm Dr. Cranken's to get the location of Valefar's Vault to try and find a Crystal Star and a idea where Horror's Hand might. She then talked about the demon attacks and the conflict going on between the Gods and New Gods. Gata also brought up thinking she found a Crystal Star location at the Coliseum of Fools, which Vivian confirmed and said Jota and the Axem Rangers were after it.

Fern then told Finn and Phoebe the same fake backstory, he had told Gata about coming from another universe hunting the Green Knight. Finn was impressed by the tale and was grateful for the green warrior for coming to Gata's aid and helping them out. He also promised to help Fern track down the Green Knight, defeat him, and help Fern return to his home universe. Fern thanked Finn for his help and was very appreciative about it.

After the tales and information was exchanged everyone turned their to Vivian. Undyne spoke first since she had previous dealings with the Shadow Sirens, due to being the Captain of the Royal Guard.

"So Vivian you sided with Finn's little group and fought against your sister. Both Viper and Loke witnessed this and I trust them, but how do we know this turn of yours is real and not some trick to earn our trust and spy on us for your sister and Spirit."

Vivian was silent for a few seconds before letting out a deep breath and spoke.

"I have no love for my sisters or for the Shadow Queen and her daughters. They either treat me poorly or really don't care for me. I will tell you where Spirit's base is, as well as what some of their operations are, and I will fight alongside you." Said Vivian.

"Where's the base at and what kind of operations are we dealing with?" Asked Undyne.

"The base is located on the outskirts of New Home and it is a factory and a mansion. There are two operations going on. One is the Crystal Star retrieval in Hotland involving Jota and the Axem Rangers. The other one is happening here in Waterfall. Siren is planning to put on a huge concrete and broadcast it through the Underground. She plans to use her enchanted voice to enslave everyone listening." Said Vivian.

Undyne watched and studied Vivian closely with her one good eye looking for any signs of deception from the former Shadow Siren. There was none to be found. Vivian was telling the truth.

"Alright I believe you. First thing first we got to put a stop to that concert." Said Undyne.

"I also might have an idea where the Shadow Queen might be sealed up." Said Vivian.

"Where?" Asked Finn.

"Somewhere in Subcon Forest. I remember encountering a couple of Spirit's top agents there not too long ago. Didn't think much about it at first, but thinking about now they could have been looking for something important, could be where the Shadow Queen was sealed." Said Vivian.

"Could be a lead to check out later." Said Phoebe.

"Once we get all the Crystal Stars we can check it out." Said Finn.

"Will wait for the others to arrive, before we head to the Lady Lucktopus and put a stop to Siren's concert. I have a feeling we're going to need a lot of help for this one." Said Huntress Wizard.

"So how strong is Siren?" Asked Gata looking at Vivian.

"By herself she isn't very strong, but she will most likely have a lot of security with her and the more people that fall under her singing the stronger she gets." Said Vivian.

"So we either have to stop Siren from singing or we have to find a good singer that can beat Siren's music." Said Gata.

"Aren't you a good singer, Phoebe?" Said Finn looking at his girlfriend.

"I...guess, but I've never sung at a concert or against someone." Said Phoebe rubbing the back of her head.

"Don't worry, will figure something out." Said Finn.

"Ok." Said Phoebe.

As the group talked Mr. White watched them from behind a crate a few yards away. Mr. White soaked everything Finn and the others said as he tried to figure out how to use this info to help him kill Gata.

Elsewhere Treasure Knight, General Pig, General Sheep, Magica, Morbidia, Gateaux, and the Natasha had reached finally reached shore with the map they stole from Valefar. Treasure Knight made a call to Jordan informing him about the alliance formed with Magica and the map that could help them find Horror's Hand and other treasures. Jordan was very pleased by this news and he told Blockner the news.

Blockner contacted Meduzi who was exiting a clinic with Pedro, Specter Knight, and Insecto Knight. Meduzi was supporting a woozy and recovering Pedro as Blockner told her to meet up with Treasure Knight's group and escort them to Hotland to join up with Jordan and the rest of the group as they continued to try and free the Nuclear Throne. Meduzi then told Blockner about how the job at Dr. Cranken's lab went and how Flame Face got a power boost from Py-Ro making himself more powerful and violent.

"Where is Flame Face now?" Asked Blockner.

"He ran off with the Legion of Light to hunt down some other enemies." Said Meduzi.

"I'll contact him. You just focus on finding Treasure Knight's team and leading them to us." Said Blockner before hanging up.

Blockner called Flame Face next.

"Where are you Flame Face and what is your status?" Said Blockner.

"I'm feeling GREAT! I feel like I have the power of a volcano! I helped the Legion of Light kill some weird knights and now I'm heading into Hotland. See you soon boss man." Said Flame Face before ending the call.

"I need to keep an eye on that one." Thought Blockner.

The Legion of Light were currently walking the shoreline trying to track the Shadow Sirens and their allies, but weren't having too much luck. Luminous was trying to figure out the legion's next course of action when his eyes landed on a flyer on a old surf shack nearby. The flyer talked about Siren's concert at the Lady Lucktopus. This was exactly what Luminous was looking for. A opportunity to kill one of Spirit's sisters and show the Underground how strong the Legion of Light was.

"I know what we must do." Said Luminous as he pulled the flyer off and told his troops about going after Siren and putting a stop to her concert.

Stratos, Six, Ruxxtin's Staff, Sol Crusher, and the foot soldiers exchanged looks. The giant mind controlled Underworld Knight silently stood by. Stratos then spoke.

"Um...are you sure that's a good idea? I mean...we've been through some big battles recently and we suffered some big losses. Not to mention that Spirit most likely heard about what happened to Cyan and has increased security around Siren and is out looking for revenge on us. We should probably focus on getting to the Radiance and freeing her."

Luminous was silent for a few moments and then he spoke.

"Your concerns are valid, but we must press onwards against the darkness. We are at war against the Shadow Queen's daughters and their forces and we have done some significant damage to them in our last few battles. True we have indeed suffered some losses of our own, but those were sacrifices for the greater good. We will focus on freeing the Radiance once we rid the Underground of some of the Shadow Queen's daughters and forces."

"But we're short on troops." Said Sol Crusher.

"I shall summon our reserve forces to aid us." Said Luminous.

"You mean Shinning Justice?" Asked Stratos.

"That's right. Shinning Justice a elite team of seven warriors. Sparkle the unicorn, Lady Clarrisa the Vigorous, Sir Cedric the Cleanly, Audrey Redheart, Prism Knight, and the wizard twins Lightning Maven Juno and Thunder Ace Suman. They are all out dealing with a few shadow demons. I'll send them a message to meet us at the Lady Lucktopus to deal with Siren. Afterwards we will go about freeing the Radiance." Said Luminous.

With that said the Legion of Light went in search of a boat to take them to the Lady Lucktopus.

Aboard the Cash Cruiser, Elise had just finished healing Hu$tlebone$. The healed captain met up with, Lami and Wizard, who had some news for him.

"We contacted your dad and told him what happened. He's on his way here and he's bringing help." Said Lami.

"He's bringing gods." Said Wizard.

"My pops got connections." Said Hu$tlebone$ as the three of them headed out to the deck.

A cloud of purple smoke bellowed up from the deck and seven figures emerged from it. It was Charon the Boatman of the Underworld, father of Hu$tlebone$, and he had brought six gods with him

Charon was a tall, seedy, shadowy floating figure, who carried an oar he used as a weapon. He wore a large circular hat that obscured his face, revealing only his left eye that glowed with a vivid purple light. Charon wore a long dark robe with a gold trim, lined with coins collected from his salary as a ferryman. He also wore gold bracelets and rings on his pale hands and arms. Charon had white and wavy hair and smoky purple air came out of his mouth as he breathed.

"Gggguuurrr." Said Charon in greeting.

"Hey dad. Glad to see you." Said Hu$tlebone$.

"Gggggguuuuuurrrr." Said Charon.

"Yeah I messed up with the gods and Sorrows. Really should have done some better venting." Said Hu$tlebone$.

"Gggggggguuuuuuuuurrrrr." Said Charon.

"What did he say?" Asked Lami.

"He just introduced the gods he brought. These are Dog God, Rat God, Leshy, Heket, Kallamar, and Shamur." Said Hu$tlebone$ indicating the six gods with Charon.

Dog God was a large hulking black furred dog with red eyes and glowing red lines spreading around his body. He stood on his back legs, had sharp claws and fangs, and he looked more like a wolf then a dog.

Rat God was humanoid female rat, with large ears and a long, curved tail. Her anatomy and skin were mostly human in appearance, a pair of white, angelic wings protruding from her lower back, messy lime-green hair, magenta eyes, and a pair of buck teeth. Rat God wore a top hat, a one-piece suit, primarily comprised of a magenta vest with long coattails (which matched her high heel shoes and the top hat) overtop a white leotard (matching some detached cuffs and tie). Tying her outfit together was a green ribbon wrapped around her top hat.

Leshy appeared to be a cross between a worm and a tree, with a round head covered in thick green leaves. Several thin black branches protrude from either side of his head like horns. Leshy eyes appeared to had been gouged out, thus they were covered by a set of thick, bloodstained bandages wrapped around his head. Black ichor can be seen oozing out from beneath the bandages. Leshy wore a long black robe with golden trimmings that covered the rest of his body. He wore a crown with two sharp points and a green, diamond-shaped eye.

Heket was a red frog with four eyes that had black sclera and red, cross-shaped pupils. She had several cross-like protrusions sticking out from her head, and she wore a three-pointed crown with a yellow, upside-down triangular eye. Her throat was wrapped in bandages, with some of the bandaging hanging down her back like a scarf. Heket wore a long black robe with golden trimmings that covered the rest of her body.

Kallamar was a blue squid with a split open mouth filled with rows of teeth. His eyes had black sclera with red slits for pupils, and he appeared to have a scar running across the skin surrounding his left eye. There were two pairs of cross-like protrusions appearing from his head, and he wore a cone-shaped crown that had a blue, circular eye. Kallamar's ears were severed and were covered by bandages. He wore a long black robe with golden trimmings that covers the rest of his body.

Shamura was a purple spider with four eyes of black sclera and red slit pupils. Two pairs of cross-like protrusions emanate from he head, and he wore a crown with a concaved top and a purple, crescent-shaped eye. A pair of prominent fangs protrude from his mouth. The top of Shamura's skull was wrapped in bandages. Shamura wore a long black robe with golden trimmings that hides the rest of their body.

"Why are some of those gods wearing bandages?" Asked Wizard.

"Those four gods with the bandages are siblings and apparently they had another sibling who was a death god and they had some kind of disagreement with him and they got into a big fight. They managed to beat him and banished him to some kind of death dimension, but that brother inflicted some hefty wounds on his siblings. Wounds that will never truly heal." Said the exited Hu$tlebone$.

"Interesting team." Said Lami.

"Let's hope it is enough." Said Hu$tlebone$ as the boat continued on it's journey.

To be continued.
