Plot
The episode begins with Peppermint Butler holding binoculars running towards Princess Bubblegum along with Finn and Jake. Peppermint Butler explains to Princess Bubblegum that Root Beer Guy has put up a force field but has sacrificed himself in the process. Princess Bubblegum grabs the binoculars and looks at Maja and an earth-like monster, Darren trapped in an orange pyramid force field. Princess Bubblegum then looks at the remains of Root Beer Guy and says "Rest in Piece". Maja asks Princess Bubblegum to surrender, then saying she will not completely destroy the Candy Kingdom of she does. Inside the castle we see Crunchy freaking out, Darren reveals he will completely destroy the whole kingdom no matter what, and moments later Crunchy blows up to bits.

The night before the current events, Maja walk to the edge of a cliff and uses a magic incantation to slow down time. She summons Darren whom wakes up from the beneath the surface. Darren explains to Maja that he had a dream he was in a war, but Maja immediately asks Darren to destroy the candy kingdom, as it has the highest level of caring which powers Maja. Confused, Darren ask Maja what caring is and what kind of world he is in. Maja replies that she has used Princess Bubblegum's rock T-shirt(which was Princess Bubblegums prized possession) to summon Darren. Darren, still confused, walks through the plan with Maja, except Darren explains he will devour the candy kingdom for all eternity, and that he will deliver destruction to all realities.

In the present, Darren attempts to break out of the force field, but fails. Gridface Princess reveals that the shield should hold until Princess Bubblegum can think of a "weak plan". Meanwhile in the background, Finn whispers in Jakes ear and both give a thumbs up. Jake then grabs Finn and stretches offscreen. Princess Bubblegum calls Colonel Candy Corn to ready the cannons. He does so but begins talking off topic about his love life explaining that there's no women out there for him. Peppermint Butler gives advice to him leading to Princess Bubblegum giving Peppermint Butler the phone. Princess Bubblegum then realizes that Finn and Jake are gone, she hops on her Swan and flies towards Darren. Darren then summons monsters from another realm to help him break free. Colonel Candy Corn fires the cannons to destroy the monster. One of them punchs the generator and the shield turns off. The cannons ran out of ammo, so Colonel Candy Corn decides to defend the kingdom by firing himself, and his soldiers. He lands on the ground, but Darren's mouth laser fries them Colonel Candy Corn  starts fighting the monsters with a sword. Darren starts to shoot at Princess Bubblegum but misses, Maja then uses wind and pushes Princess Bubblegum and her swan to the ground. Darren picks the two up and prepares to destroy them but Maja commands Darren not to as Maja needs her feelings, yet again. Darren is confused as he doesn't know what feelings are, and that he only knows life and death. A laser beam shoots Darren's hand and itss revealed to be Finn and Jake riding on the Ancient Physic Tandem War Elephant. Darren asks him mid-flight what the Elephant thinks about the world, but Finn commands him to keep shooting at him. He does so only to get his laser deflected hitting the Ice Kingdom, and Ice King warns the others to leave him out of the fight. The shoots all the monsters triggering Maja into a rage. She prepares a magic lightning bolt but is hit by the the laser which blasts her into the forest, where she knocks her head againest a tree and lands on the ground, unconsious. The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant reveals that Darren's weakness is his brain seed. Jake launches Finn into the air, Finn enters his head and uses his sword to stab the seed. Darren explodes and the Candy Kingdom celebrates.

At the tree house, the Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant asks Finn what he should do now. Finn explains that he should be free and make his own choices. The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant explains that he is a war machine and needs to serve his master, and he flies away as Finn tells him to visit sometimes. The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant sleeps in a cave and wonders what to do, until the Sun speaks to him, and tells him that there's much to discover. The Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant flies to Maja (who is now in a coma) and talks to her using his mind. Maja asks if he is powerful and he replies by naming his many abilities. Maja attempts to use him to destroy the Candy Kingdom, but he refuses to do so. He decides to help Maja and be her friend until she wakes up.
