After buying some drugs from Bettany and Jethro the dragon brothers, they small team helped out the locals of this small town, meeting a bartender, whos brother had been sent mysteriously into the sky after balltar tried saving him.

As Balltar and roach go to meet him, Fionna stays behind hanging out with her newly met friend Harrington turtlemen and his squirrel Bartholomew. The 3 start a metal jam session and begin shredding this reality with their devilishly good licks of metal. With Balltar and Paul both being proficient Bards, they left Fuckhard greatly impressed, with him leaving them his business cards and some earnings from their set. With the money Paul opened a high end Studio in castle Ponya as Balltar opened a gambling room across the hallway.
As Balltar and roach were relaxing in the dining hall, JR approached the two asking if theyd go on a quest for him, after hearing the two speak on their wants to conquer the known galaxy, JR said he may be able to help, since hes the leader of a fucking gang, and he's conquered in his youth, he requests the two hunt down and take over the domain of Therias the conqueror who lives on an artificial sector a few thousand miles from Neptune. Shortly after their arrival they were met with strong opposing forces, where Balltar decided to let loose a cursed entity he found in planeweavers shop. This entity instantly eclipsed the planet they were on killing them both, and making JR disappear. After meeting Charon and taking the ferry of the damned, they narrowly made their way out of the underworld, with Roach being partially zombified, the two got in a fight after returning home, as what Balltar has just unleashed is now targeting their galaxy.

Due to the orb Balltar released, several of the team were possessed by a dark entity left from the orbs residual germs. Crewmates who did not have a proficiency in magic became posessed, and were luckily all able to exorcise eachother, resulting in the dark entity molding clones of each of them, that were then shrunk down and placed in Fionna's bag of holding. Planeweaver revealed his plans stating they need to stay on their toes and keep a eye out for every possible threat for whats to come. He also had several of the castle staff killed there are 2 remaining members of staff.
Chapter 7: Snake Eater
A rift in space appeared and noone quite knows what's going on. Frank calls you saying he may know a guy that can help (after you help him with a dark creature infestation in the pyramid), a scientist by the name of Jarvis Sokolov who has a theory on what's happening: He believes the creature Balltar released has torn a hole in spacetime by setting foot in our dimension, as its a system eater from another dimensions that cannot coexist with ours, therefore shattering other close realities, making them converge with ours. Certain events and life moments are being remembered by people in other dimensions without ever really experiencing it. Sokolov tells you he made a portal device that can get you back to the closest reality on a collision course with ours, metal gear. Frank and the scientist move into the castle temporarily.
The rift caused the non canon universe event of Killing Ocelot during the finale of Operation Snake Eater. Since Ocelot is there for many major events in that timeline it destabilized, so the mission of the crew is to join snake as part of the fox unit, and travel with him through the events leading him to his destiny. He misfires the first time and Fionna and Baltar experience the Cobra Unit seizing the Beaches of Normandy by the command of the boss. She gives birth on the battlefield and Fionna performs an emergency c section, it unintentionally resembles a snake.
They make it back home and bring the scientist with them, setting up a portal in their castle. With most of the team gathered they successfully travel to the beginning of the Virtuous mission to assist Naked Snake on the journey ahead. They make it successfully through the Virtuous mission and are on track for operation Snake eater.

Chapter 8: Miranda
After arriving home after operation snake eater, the crew learns there has been a time jump and they missed 5 years while they were gone.
In the meantime, Roach has made friends with an alien by the name of Carl, with the help of Jr and Frank's new criminal empire, Carl and Roach went on many adventures together selling treasures and finding new ones.
While that was happening, the impending world eater Balltar unleashed drew closer. Jynx aware of this threat, and still on Triton during the events of snake eater, targeted that entity alone and with the help of books purchased from planeweaver and found in Balltar's Library, she was able to find out how to imprison the creature in another orb like he was before. The creature is now safely stored in a vault extra protected by cyber magic runes.
After the crews return to Triton they are encountered by J.R. and Frank who let the group know in the last 5 years they've garnished quite the reputation in the interstellar drug trade as well as making some powerful friends in the newly established government. They tell the crew that a new government presence has taken over while they were gone and the attack on IO is being used as an excuse for intense military governmental forces siezing several high traffic areas and communities. J.R. and Frank say they're planning on moving somewhere to continue expanding their empire.
The next morning 2 government agents approach the crew with a contract, simply stating if they dont agree to assassinating a revolutionary, their planet [Triton] will in turn be blown up.
They go to Mars' moon Phobos, to meet an informant by the name of wild eyed joe, in hope he can give them more information on the revolutionary, after helping a couple locals out, they let them know where to find Joe, the crew captures him bringing him onto their ship and begin to head for Miranda.
While on their way to Miranda, they get a board request from a unknown entity. It turns out to be J.R. travelling with his new friend Carl, as well as his new apprentice Andy. James states he's there to auction off the rest of Balltar's belongings as he now knows Balltar died during operation snake eater. All of his belongings are dispersed amongst the crew, and J.R. leaves Andy with the crew, who they throw in a cage almost immediately. Cliff who was traveling with them to make sure they complete their mission, states "I trust you all to do whats right with this revolutionary, the government cannot be trusted.."Cliff suddenly leaves on an escape pod saying "he has more work that must be done in the shadows."
After crash landing on Miranda they got to a pirate captain they were targeting and Carl accidentally cut a fourth of the planet off with a dark energy scythe. Travelling further they meet the center border of Miranda and a fleet holding Tax. They easily capture him with the help of a new acquaintance by the name of Lucky Red, who wants to join out of boredon. Tax is delivered to a warehouse planet owned by Wayne Spectre, he hired a crew to build a temporary living quarters there to keep tax with a low profile. The rest of them headed back to Triton to catchup on some much needed rest. On the journey back Wayne was knocked unconscious and bound by vines.

Upon arriving they're greeted by several guards, (Fionna's sister) Rosalia, and her personal guard. She leaded them to Angeliq's (Fionna's other sister) lab, where she said she was working on a cure and needed help gathering indgredients for a cure to a sickness thats spreading all over the village. After meeting a mysterious figure by the name of Sephir, and Fionna reuiniting with her friend soup soup, they found the indgredients, gave them back to Angeliq, and she took them into a back room and began working on her "cure". Maggot finds a Dark Magic ridden book he cannot comprehend. He finds Angeliq working in the closet annd shows her the book telling her he supports the conjuring of dark forces and that she should summon whatever she thinks she should. She unfortunately reaches a chaos god she had never spoken to before and with his manipulative power, and her desperation, as well as magical support from maggot, Angeliq gave her Physical form to this chaos god for eternal life, giving her infinite time to safe earth. After submerging from a soul pool Chaos summoned, her body just needed to be brutally sacrificed for her soul to be given to the chaos god. Sephir, did just that and decapitated Angeliq, with her body dropping into the pool, acting as a perfect sacrifice. Her cursed book is given to Fionna and they exit the laboratory, seeing a vast amount of green dark energy covering the fey shield, seemingly cracking it.
Moments later a man called Rasputin approaches the group telling them about what they've just unleashed and that he's dealt with it before. The shield cracks and the orcs begin rushing, the radiation attaches to lucky red and he starts battling radiation poisoning as everyone else is fighting off the hordes of orcs. Rosalia instructs the crew to gathet everyone and leave, as there is nothing for them to protect anymore, they're extremely outnumbered.

Arriving at earth he again gets everyone on board and sees angeliq again. After trying to punch her, he breaks his wrist and two of his cyber arms. He turns around and flees with the fey moments before earth lights up again.

A few days later Vladov reappears letting the crew know he bought them some time and made the government a little bit less mad, however they need to for sure turn in tax and wild eye joe now. They gather the two (make clones of them) and turn the clones in to vladov to cool down the government. Lucky Red gets some cyberware from plainweaver that is surprising pretty good. Tax and Wild Eyed Joe are safely back on Miranda with the government thinking they have the upper hand.

Several traps and tricks were spread about this tube-like basement. One of the traps harmed Carl resulting in him losing his lower half. Maggot gave him plant legs with help from Sephir. They escaped with the book Maggot was looking for and a shrunken Umpleby. Maggot then began searching for one of the Saturn Worms.

After killing the whole group there, they turn in the bounty at the local bounty hunter's guild up the street. The woman at the front desk took their bounty sheet and payed them. As they were leaving they noticed a familiar face; Das Boot, however he now seems to be engulfed in fire magic and he has a crew of his own now. They break the news to Das Boot about what happened to Roach and he solemnly asks them if they'd like to come stay with him in his warehouse in southern Ganymede so they have a place to stay while they're here.

They interact with the mist man, king Arthur, and a man solely infatuated with money. They explain Maximus will pardon their crimes if they agree to help him out and gather intel on Angeliq for him. The crew hesitantly agrees and goes to earth the see why Angeliq is radiating such an intense heat signature. She turned out to be using the corpse of balltar to power up and revive the corpse she found of a centuries old Evangelionite.
