(Just wanna put this as a reminder, they aren't really the Greek gods, that's not their origin at least. I used it to show that they have been involved in hundreds of worlds and that they had declared themselves gods in those times, if ya have any questions, post em in Reviews and I'll do my best to answer )
Candy Kingdom was in complete chaos, fires were everywhere burning the candy people and the plague was sweeping through them faster than they could stop it. The gumball guards had retreated from the outer city and were now positioned in the palace walls, destroying those who they saw were infected. The remainders of the normal candy people were now inside the palace, huddled together in the throne room for what little warmth they could find.
Princess Bubblegum was the only one absent from these refugees; she was on the balcony of the palace with her telescope, surveying the damage that had been inflicted upon Ooo. It was devastating; tidal waves were crashing against the fire kingdom. Ice Kingdom was being hit by an unnatural storm of fire and the badlands were being hit by earthquakes and massive sand storms.
But these weren't the worries that troubled her, it was the fact that by now Finn, Marceline, even Ice King should've been here. She was smart, she liked to think that, but she didn't have the muscle Finn did or the power of Ice King and Marceline. She needed powerful people to enact her plan.
She already had the plan in order, they would find the cause of these apocalyptic events, which she was sure, was the Lich, and then they would annihilate it from this plane of existence. "Warning, unknown presence detected!" A bubblegum guardian cried out so the whole city could hear it.
Bubblegum frowned, this had never happened before, she had programmed the guardians to know almost all things living but this was something that they had never seen or heard of before in their long lives of servitude to the crown. She turned her telescope to the forests surrounding Candy Kingdom but found nothing except the cotton candy forests.
The threat was not on land, but she soon realized it was from the air, a whistling made her look upward. Not the usual lighthearted whistling that person might do when their walking upon a lonely path, but the sound of something heavy being dropped from a great height.
Durious and Paggy hit the Candy Kingdom with such force even the palace shook in place. They came from the clouds, Durious had large skeletal like bat wings that somehow managed to give him flight, while Paggy had a set of beautiful looking blue wings.
They had fought in the air for several minutes but Durious had proved far stronger then he could've ever imagined. They were both falling from the air; Durious held his shoulders and kept him below the demon, so when they hit the ground he would be the one to receive most of the punishing power.
Paggy knew that he would lose if this happened and he had seen the chaos that had ravaged Ooo, and knew he could not let Durious's chaotic power sweep the land. With all his will power he jabbed his claw into Durious stomach, and twisted it.
The beast howled as loud as it could then sunk its teeth into Paggy's neck, shaking his head frantically to rip deeper inside his neck. Blood seeped from Paggy's bark like skin and fell in droplets toward the ground with them. The ground was rapidly approaching and his window of opportunity was quickly closing.
