AUTHOR'S NOTES: What's up, homies! It's your boy Johnny Pancakes here with a new fanfic! This time, I will be taking on Adventure Time. Now, I've read dozens and dozens of AT fanfics here and it's about time I put my hat in the ring. This concept I've had in my mind for a while, so it'll finally see the light of day and you can't imagine how excited I am. It won't be as graphic as my previous fanfic (The Last Day. If you're a fan of Regular Show, have a read, why don't you?), so no need for an M rating. It will be violent, however, so keep that in mind. Hope you enjoy!

I do not own Adventure Time. Adventure Time belongs to Cartoon Network.

Anti-Finn, however, I do own, and if you use this character without my written permission, I will be under your bed when you come home. Anyway, on to the story!

PHASE ONE: AWAKENING

It was a cold night in the Land of Ooo. In the grasslands, one may find the oh-so-familiar sight of Finn and Jake's awesome Tree Fort. One unfamiliar sight, however, was a mob of angry Candy People marching towards the Tree Fort with pitchforks, clubs, and torches at hand, chanting for the death of Finn the Human.

Speaking of which, he, along with his best friend and brother, Jake are sleeping soundly in their beds. After a long day of adventuring, it's just relaxing to earn a well-deserved rest. Little did they know that they were in for a rude awakening.

The sound of a window breaking wakes up the pair of adventurers.

Finn opens his eyes. "What? Who's there? Cute King, are you back?" Finn called out, getting up from his bed. Jake got up too.

"What's going on, Finn? I was dreaming about winning the ice-cream marathon. You were there, BMO was there, and there were all these cute girls, and-"

Finn shushed his friend. "Quiet! Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Jake was still half-asleep and was dozing off.

"Listen!"

They were both silent and what followed was a chant outside.

"KILL THE HUMAN! KILL THE HUMAN! KILL THE HUMAN! KILL THE HUMAN!"

"Are they...are they chanting 'kill the human'?" Finn pondered. He was shocked. Never in a million years would he think he'd hear people chanting for his death.

"But you're human!" Jake exclaimed.

"No, duh! Why would they want me dead?" Finn questioned. Jake shrugged. Well, if he didn't know, he would have to ask the source of the chants.

Finn stuck his head out the broken window. He saw a mob of angry Candy People outside, weapons in hand. "There he is!" one of them shouted. The rest bellowed in anger at the sight of Finn.

"People, please! What's going on?" he asked the mob. Finn was desperate for answers.

"Killer!" one person shouted. "Psycho!" another one shouted. "Murderer!" a third one joined in.

"What?" Finn was shocked. These chants and labels only brought up more questions than answers.

"Finn the Human, you're wanted for the murder of thirteen Candy People, you sick bastard!" the leader of the mob shouted. Finn couldn't believe it. Why would they think that? He would never kill innocent people.

"WHAT? But I didn't-"

"Save it, killer! We're outside the Candy Kingdom, so we're outside its jurisdiction. We're taking the law into our own hands. Isn't that right, Candy Citizens?" The mob cheered.

"Wait, I didn't kill anyone!" Finn pleaded.

The mob ignored his plea and ran to the front door, attempting to break it down.

"Finn, what's happening?" Jake asked. He was shaking.

"These Candy People think I killed thirteen of their people!"

"What?"

"I know!"

"But...did you?"

"JAKE!"

"I'm sorry! Let's barricade the door!"

Finn and Jake ran downstairs and picked up nearby objects to block the front door. The Candy People were desperately trying to knock the door down.

"What are we gonna do?" Jake asked, still shaking.

"I don't know! They just won't listen to reason!" Finn panicked.

After a while, the mob stopped. It was silent for a bit, until the mob leader spoke up.

"Finn the Human! Since you won't give yourself up, we're forced to resort to drastic measures. Light em' up!"

Finn and Jake were confused. "What does he mean by 'light em' up'?" Finn asked. Jake wasn't sure either. Just then, a Molotov cocktail broke through a nearby window, setting everything around it ablaze. Jake sang his scream song and fell over, being careful not to go near the flames.

"Oh Glob, they mean business!" Finn shrieked.

"What do we do now?" Jake shrieked in response, clearly distraught.

Another Molotov was thrown to the Tree Fort, hitting the roof.

"We gotta get out of here now!" Finn answered. Not even thinking twice, they ran upstairs. Finn picked up his backpack, the family sword, and several articles of clothing, while Jake picked up a crate with his viola and several pictures of him and Lady Rainicorn. He stretches his arm downstairs and picks up BMO, still in sleep mode.

"You got everything you need?" Finn inquired.

Another Molotov hit the Tree Fort. "Burn in the Nightosphere, you sick freak!" a mob participant shouted.

"Yes! Let's get outta here!" Jake shouted. Without missing a beat, the pair smashed through the back window and landed on the cold grass below. The mob was unaware of their escape and kept chugging Molotov cocktails at their burning home.

Finn and Jake ran off. "Where are we going?" Jake asked his brother.

"To the Candy Kingdom!" Finn stated.

"What? Why?" The Candy Kingdom was the last place Jake wanted to be, especially after their brush with near-death from the Candy mob.

"We need to get answers, so we're going to the Princess! She'll tell us what's happening!"

Jake was unsure about this, but didn't question Finn any further. They could see the Candy Kingdom in the distance. They couldn't just walk in, however. They needed to be sneaky. They stopped outside the Kingdom wall and assessed the situation. Finn decided to change to his daytime attire. Odds are he won't be sleeping anytime soon. Once Finn changed out of his pajamas, he was ready to sneak in the Kingdom. Jake stretched Finn and himself, along with their supplies and BMO, over the wall and they kept to the shadows. They could see many angry Candy People everywhere.

Finn listened in to the conversations they were having. "Did they find that psychopath yet?" one citizen questioned.

"I hope so. I want him to suffer for what he did!" another citizen responded.

"Finn, what are they talking about?" Jake whispered. He was confused. What did Finn do?

"Let's just focus on the mission, buddy." Finn replied. Even he didn't know what they were talking about.

Soon they found themselves outside the castle grounds. Jake stretched up and grabbed the balcony leading to Princess Bubblegum's bedroom. Finn and Jake climbed over and entered. Inside they found Princess Bubblegum sitting down on a chair with a walkie-talkie in hand, her back turned away from the pair. Finn and Jake snuck behind her, listening in.

"Talk to me. What's happening? Over." she asked whoever was on the other walkie-talkie.

"Well, I found a mob waiting outside their home. Over." the voice on the other end informed her. Finn recognized the voice; it was Peppermint Butler.

"Is that right? Over." she responded.

"Yes, and they, um…burned down their home. Over." he grimly told her.

"No, this wasn't supposed to happen! I told you to go over there and make sure nothing goes wrong! I wanted Finn to be put through a fair trial."

"But Princess! Think about what he did! Over."

"I know what he did was unforgivable, but we can't just resort to execution! Over."

"The Candy People were hungry for his death. I was too late to stop them. There were determined to kill him at any cost, so they burned down their Tree Fort. There was nothing I could do. Over."

"Look, at least confirm the deaths. I can't make an announcement until we find their bodies. Ok, report back to me with any news regarding Finn. Over and out." Bubblegum turned off the walkie-talkie. She leaned her head back and sighed. "Finn...how could you do this?"

"What did I do?" Finn spoke up. The Princess fell backwards her chair and shrieked.

She crawled away and was shaking in fear. "Finn! What are you doing here! Don't hurt me!" she told him.

Finn was concerned. He started to ask her, "Princess, wait! I-"

"GUARDS! SOMEONE! HELP ME!" she shouted. She stood up and ran near a bookshelf, throwing books at Finn and Jake.

They dodged the books. "Princess, wait! What's the matter? What did Finn do?" Jake asked her while dodging a barrage of books. He was just as befuddled as Finn.

She ignored Jake and kept throwing books. "Princess, please just-OOOF!" One of the books hit Finn in the gut. He clenched his stomach in pain and fell on his butt.

"No, get away! Please, Finn, don't kill me!" the Princess shrieked.

Suddenly, two Banana Guards break her door down and witness the scene.

"GUARDS! ARREST THEM!" Bubblegum orders. The Guards charge to the two brothers with handcuffs in hand.

Jake grabs Finn and stretches out the room. They escape the Candy Kingdom unscathed, save for a bruise in the gut. They ran through a nearby forest and sat on a log.

"Ok, what the heck is-ow, going on?" Finn exclaims, rubbing his sore stomach. Finn just wanted some answers, but no one, not even the Princess, could give him any.

"Well, they're saying that you killed Candy People! So...uh, did you..."

"JAKE! How could you even think that! I'm super good! I couldn't have done it!" Finn couldn't believe that Jake would even question that he actually did it.

Jake wanted to believe him, but something was stopping him. "Well, if it wasn't you, then who was it?"

"Good morning, Finn. Good morning, Jake." a voice asked.

"AHHH! WHO SAID THAT?" they screamed in unison.

"Down here."

They looked down and saw BMO looking up at them. It's out of sleep mode and fully active.

"Oh, hey BMO" Finn said, sighing in relief.

"What's going on?" it asked.

"BMO, please. Now's not the time for more questions."

"Why?"

"BMO!"

"Sorry!" BMO was finding a way to rephrase its question. "I would like to know what is going on right now, please." it said.

Jake sighed. "Fine, BMO. Finn is wanted for murder, Candy People burned down our home, Princess Bubblegum freaked out when she saw us and threw books at us, and now we're on the run right now." Finn glared at Jake. "What? That's what's happening!"

"Wh-What?" it said with a shocked tone. "I don't like pranks, Jake!"

"This isn't a prank! We're on the run right now! Speaking of which, where to now, dude?" Jake asked Finn.

Finn was at a loss. "Um, Tree Trunks' house?" he suggested.

"Are you nuts? She'd probably have a heart attack at the sight of us! You know she has a weak heart! How about Lady's place?" Jake proposed.

"No. Definitely not."

"Why?" Jake was confused. Lady's place was spacious enough to be a safehouse.

"If we go to Lady's, odds are she'll turn us in to the authorities. She's loyal to Princess Bubblegum, man!" Finn explained.

"She would never do that! I trust her!" Jake defended.

"I'm not taking any chances! She'd sell us out the minute we step in!"

"Dude, you can't talk to my girlfriend like that!" Jake was angry at Finn's accusations towards Lady Rainicorn.

"Your girlfriend would rat us out if she got the chance! Remember when she told you that I was the one who broke your viola? She's untrustworthy, dude!" Finn snapped back. He wasn't going to take any chances going to Lady's place. This angered Jake.

"Screw you, Finn!" Jake snapped at him. The pair argued for a while with BMO watching from the sidelines.

They argued for a good 10 minutes, just trying to hurt each other's feelings. Finn continued, "And you know what? Mom always told me that she loved me more than you! In fact, she told me all the time that she always thought of you as a poo-brained moron!" Finn told Jake with a smirk.

Jake was turning red. Angered, he snaps back, "You-you! You liar! You're just a lying piece of-" He's interrupted by a quiet sob. Jake tries to finish his comeback, but hears more soft cries. They stop arguing and see BMO crying.

"BMO, why are you crying?" Finn asked concerned.

"You and Jake are fighting, our home is destroyed, you two are going to break up as friends, and I'm going to be left alone. Everything is falling apart." BMO replied sniffling and sobbing through its words.

"Aww, BMO." Finn picked up the small machine and cradled it in his arms. "Don't think that. Jake and I just got carried away. It's gonna be okay. We'll get through this together. I promise." Finn assured. Jake nodded in agreement and patted BMO on the head. It smiled.

"We sound like an old married couple." Finn remarked.

"Heh heh, yeah..." Jake agreed.

They looked at each other, then to BMO, still in Finn's arms. Well, this is awkward.

"Ew." they said in unison.

"So anyway, where are we going, man?" Jake asked again, breaking the awkwardness of the situation.

"How about the sexy vampire lady?" BMO suggested.

"Vampire Lady? You mean Marceline?" Finn asked.

"Yeah, Marceline! We can hide in her cave! It's huge in there, it's hidden, and I'm sure she'll take us in! It's perfect! Good idea, BMO!" Jake exclaimed. He gave BMO a high-five.

"Then it's settled! To Marceline's!" Finn announced.

And with that, the adventurers set their sights to Marceline's cave.
