Bruce, Peter, Rick, Morty, Nick, Monroe, and F.F. all walk down into the basement, a bit injured.

"Are you guys okay?" asked Bubblegum.

"We almost died, Candy Witch," said Rick.

"Yeah... Maybe you should"

F.F. pulls The Joker and Goblin down into the basement with them.

"Whoa..." said Mercuria, standing up.

"It's alright!" smiled F.F. "They're tied up! See?"

"How do you think does that one look if she was skewered in a stick?" asked Goblin.

"Maybe head first then legs last," said The Joker.

The others stare at The Joker and Goblin.

"Yeah..." said Peter. "They kept talking like this for ten minutes now."

MJ walks down as well.

"Mrs. Parker-Watson," said Princess Bubblegum.

"Hey," said MJ.

"Jesus..." said Victoria. "Well, the gang's all here."

"Not really... The other group is on the other side of the city," said Yurielle, listening closely. "I can't pick up a conversation but I think something bad happened over there."

"So...?" asked Victoria. "Now, what?"

"We keep the Gun safe..." said Princess Bubblegum.

"How about the Candy Princess?" asked The Joker.

"Probably skewered like a pig then use her hair as a sauce..." said Goblin.

Marceline tries to attack the two, but Princess Bubblegum stops her.

"What's your plan?" asked Bubblegum.

"Originally, it was to spread anarchy... But we recently received a message that our allies have betrayed us," said Goblin. "So... instead of fighting you. I have an idea... We could work together... We could be a team! The... Dark Avengers..."

"That doesn't sound promising," said Peter.

"How about the Injustice League?" sneered The Joker.

"Less promising," said Peter. "Also, why would I join forces with you? You killed my Aunt and you just tried to kill my wife."

"Yes... But right after, we received a message through our armors that tapped our arms in morse code, both stating that Toffee had betrayed us and our current leader has been captured," said Goblin, showing his armor's morse code device through a hologram, which is like a tiny hammer on the sleeve of his armor. "In fact... even the creature that was meant to bring anarchy had also gained sentience... and is a failure... It seems Toffee manipulated her genetics and added someone else's blood and genes into her... causing her to feel emotions unlike us... It would be a cup of tea if we would join forces, for now, Spider-Man. How about you, Batman? Princess...? Dr. Sanchez...? Dr. Smith...?"

"They're not lying," said Yurielle. "They're telling the truth... Then again... They're damned good liars.
But think about it... That's almost twice the geniuses..."

"No," said Peter.

"I'm in," said Rick and Bubblegum.

"What!?" asked Peter.

"Think about it," said Rick. "We don't have anything right now. We're practically stuck inside a building and are in dire need to move because right now some psychotic lizard is plotting something and has currently taken over the city to the point where no one is allowed to go inside anymore to help and none of us are allowed to go outside since we aren't evacuees. With their technology and skills..."
