Bubblegum continued to press buttons and pull levers drastically trying to get the machine back to power. Unfortunately each attempt ending in the machine to simply sputter out small sparks and smoke to appear from the inside of the machine starting a small fire. Bubblegum continued to try to fix the machine as fast as possible to see if Finn was alright wherever he may have gone.

"Bubblegum, where did Finn go." Flame Princess demanded trying to keep her temper at check for her flames melting the sugar coated floor.

"I'm trying to figure that out but it's close to impossible. This was meant for a one time use, I would have improved it but it was gonna take time which I did not have time for. This thing took 50% of my Kingdom's power just to active it for that one use." Bubblegum told pulling out fried wires and putting in new motherboards throwing the charred ones out the window working at her best to fix the machine.

"Well is there anything we can do to help." Marceline asked floating around looking at all the scattered scrap metal lying around the room. Bubblegum stopping her work for a second thinking over what Marceline had offered.

"You two really wanna help me." Bubblegum asked the two both giving her a nod of their heads. "Alright then."


Bubblegum was working on the machine once more while her two assistants helped her but were questioning how they were helping. "Bubblegum." Flame Princess spoke causing Bubblegum to let out a sigh.

"Yes, Flame Pr-King." Bubblegum asked nicely.

"Are you sure this is the only way I can help." Flame Princess asked, her arms crossed standing in a globe like container what Bubblegum called a solar powered generator, the sphere like machine shall absorb Flame Princess' flames and radiation and turn it to pure energy to power the machine.

"Same here." Marceline spoke while running the reason for she was on a treadmill that had wires running from the machine to the treadmill also being used to power the machine up.

"Oh I'm sorry do any of you know how to calculate the location of two people thought space and time by all means come up here and see if you can bring Finn back in one piece, no, then continue doing what I told you to do. Flame Princess continue doing what you're doing the energy is going up." Bubblegum told, Flame Princess' flames rising and increasing not liking how Bubblegum just talked to her. "Here it goes." Bubblegum spoke flipping the switch the computer turning on nothing showing just a black screen till it lit up as a bunch of green one and zero's continued to flash across the screen.

After much intensified moments the screen lit up to show nothing but static with two figures hard to identify for the image continuing to shift and warp on thew screen. "Is that it." Flame Princess asked infuriated with the results.

"It needs more power." Bubblegum told pressing buttons to have the image gradually improve. Typing as fast as her hands could manage till an image appeared within the screen. The image simply showed a devastated land with large craters scattered around the land, barbed wire spread around at closer look there seemed to be bodies piled up against it. The silence of the room was interrupted by ear busting thunder shaking the room violently followed by a slight whistle tune till another thunder clap was heard. Viewing the screen to show a barrage of attacks hitting the land. As the sound of artillery shells continued rain down from the skies.

Bubblegum continued to watch till the screen zoomed in on a certain area on the land in a small trench full of soldiers wearing old vintage Khaki colored uniforms almost blending to the land if it wasn't for the blue color that was branded unto their shoulders, pockets and arms. Wearing metal helmets, over sized backpacks, and old style rifles to their sides. A mere few of them were there covering their heads from the debris that fell in as the shells continued to fall over them. The computer zooming in once more closing in on some people hiding within a trench continuing to zoom in till it showed someone familiar.

"Finn." Flame Princess yelled seeing him wearing the same clothing under his uniform his bear hat sticking out of the many pouches his uniform had. "Finn?" Flame Princess asked again.

"He can't hear you, we can only see him for the moment." Bubblegum told typing vigorously into the computer. Marceline and Flame Princess looking at the screen to see Finn and the rest of the battalion.

"Bubblegum." Marceline informed to show Finn and the rest of the soldiers getting up running straight towards the battlefield. Finn continued to run past mud, muck, and parts of human body parts while the ground around them exploded from artillery shells continued to rain down on them. Many of them ducking behind some terrain to avoid the gunfire of the enemy. Once the gunfire seemed to settle down the soldiers continued on their way. Finn about to continue till something caught his eye. Looking back to see if anyone saw. Running towards the opposite direction stumbling over a couple times running ever so faster as if his life depended on it. Moving some branches away sliding down a small shallow ravine the water barely passing through. Finn looking around vigorously the snapping of a twig snapping Finn into attention grabbing his knife that was strapped to his thigh about to turn to feel his head hit something.

The sound of a revolver pistol cocking stopping him in his tracks as the gun poked his helmet. The girls watching as Finn stood still the gun aimed towards his temple unable to see the assailant holding their breaths to see what would happen. "Gun, ammo, everything you have take it off." The person spoke.

Finn getting to his feet immediately turning around to see the person. "Finn?"

"Darren." Finn spoke with open arms.

"I was this close to shooting you." Darren spoke coming into view wearing a red faded, ripped and tattered trench coat. Strapped to his back was Finn's sword wrapped around bandages. "Where are we." Darren asked handing him the sword.

"Battlefield." Finn spoke looking back to the battlefield. "Come on. Follow me." Finn spoke climbing up the ravine stopping halfway to see Darren not following.

"I'm not going out there." Darren told sitting on the ground rummaging through the coat's pockets pulling out dried jerky beginning to eat it.

"You don't come you're gonna die here." Finn told sliding back down the ravine.

"I follow you, you're gonna get me killed." Darren told, Finn about to speak to instead grab Darren from his shirt throwing him over the ravine running up after him. "What was that-"

"Get down." Finn said tackling him back to the ground. Covering both their heads to feel the ground jump a shell exploding where they were standing not moments ago as dirt fell over them dirtying their clothing more than it already was.

"Thanks." Darren told looking at the crater that could have been their graves.

"Run." Finn said grabbing his sword beginning to make a dash towards a general direction. Darren following quick behind. Stopping midway waiting till the sound of gunfire seized. "SO where were you." Finn asked while they hid behind some mountain of dirt.

"No clue. What year is it here." Darren asked catching his breath rummaging through Finn's pack looking for anything useful. "How long you been...THERE." Darren pointed.

"Let's go." Darren said running towards the portal. Midway towards the portal Darren getting tackled to the ground once more about to speak till bullets flew above them barely missing their mark. "Thanks...again." Darren told, Finn giving him a smile continuing on ahead crawling towards th portal staying as close to the ground as possible. After a few moments of crawling passing through barbed wire and dead carcasses inching ever so closer towards the portal.

"Finn." A voice yelled out looking back to see a young man a mere 19 years old his face tanned from being in the sun too long, black eyes, and black colored hair wearing the same uniform as Finn, his body in a bladed off stance pointing his rifle towards Darren. "We're you going we're suppose to go back towards-" The person's words cut short as a barrage of bullets pierced his body. Blood gushed out of his torso beginning to leak out of his mouth.

"Edward." Finn screamed getting up running towards the man that was shot being tripped to the ground barely missing being hit by enemy gunfire.

"Finn he's dead let's go." Darren told trying to drag Finn towards the portal having difficulty for the mud not giving him traction. Finn looking towards Edward his body moving slightly hearing a few coughs from his direction. Finn dragging himself toward the body pulling Darren along with him. Darren trying his best to try and stop Finn as gunfire started once more the stray bullets hitting the ground around them. Grabbing Finn's rifle, taking off his helmet smashing the rifle over his head, the wood breaking in two. Grabbing Finn's unconscious body dragging him into the portal having the portal close right after getting in.

The screen cutting the static right after. Before anyone could move sound started to broadcast. The sound of roaring cheers, the screen working next showing a coliseum full of audience screaming and yelling for blood within the arena. The sound of swords clashing against one another catching the girls attention zooming in to show people fighting one another it seemed to be divided into two groups one wearing low level armor wearing monica's and cassis armor that only protected their arms and and head. The other wearing the same except better equipped protection on their legs and helmets that helped protect their face having a shield on one hand and a weapon on the other

People were stabbed down by spears by men in chariots cutting the few that were unfortunate to be caught in their sights. A man crawling on the ground his leg bleeding badly his bone sticking out of the skin. Continuing to crawl till someone stepped on his back pinning him to the ground. Looking back the man saw one of the gladiators his body and armor drenched in blood raising his spear that dripped blood from its last victim. Bringing the spear down ending the mans life as he continued to gargle within his own blood. The gladiator raising his hands enjoying the cheers from the crowd.

The gladiator flinched a little the crowd stopped cheering, the gladiator falling to the ground everyone turning their heads towards the one that striked him down. Grabbing the gladiators sica sword that was attached to his side preparing to fight was Finn. Wearing a pair of pants with his tattered and torn uniform from earlier taking the helmet of the gladiator facing off the others 3 remaining gladiators, 5 normal soldiers with body armor, swords and shields and 2 carriages with men inside. Tightening his grip on his sica a curved short sword seeing the unfair advantage. The crowd going crazy screaming for blood to be shed. Letting out a battle cry running towards the enemy, one gladiator running towards the men swinging his spatha a long broadsword about to cut Finn's head to duck in time seeing the opportunity to strike piercing his sword into the gladiators shoulder cutting through his flesh and bone till it exited through the other side. Falling to the ground holding his injured shoulder the person delivering a swift kick to the man's helmet silencing him. Grabbing the gladiators spatha running towards the rest of the enemy. Slashing through one's abdomen and kneeing the other on the stomach followed by a quick pierce into his back defeating them in a matter of seconds.

Facing the enemy in front of him many of the soldiers hesitating whether to charge towards him. Unknown to him the gladiator he slashed across the chest was getting up letting out a battle cry swinging his sword about to make contact to have his body be engulfed in flames the gladiator screaming in pain trying to extinguish the flames till he fell to the ground the flames continuing to burn his flesh as a scent of bacon filled the air as crackling of his armor and flesh were heard slightly popping. "Ah, bacon." Darren's voice was heard as the portal behind him closed wearing the same clothing as before carrying a duffel bag with him this time.

"Darren, what the blob man." Finn yelled looking at the man he just burned to a crisp.

"Please, I just saw you kill 2 people, and probably 25 others." Darren told looking at the arena at the piles of bodies across the floor. "I don't think you get to judge me. Here stop dropping it before I decide to leave it on the ground." Darren told handing him the sword. The sound of metal rattling getting their attention seeing the rest of the troops preparing their weapons and armor. A lone soldier throwing a spear missing them by inches. Pulling out a pistol from the inside the duffel bag shooting the man in the chest. "Darren." Finn yelled.

"What? They're gonna kills us." Darren told aiming for another soldier missing for Finn grabbing the gun at the wrong moment having the bullet hit the wall instead.

"Stop that?" Finn told pulling the gun from Darren's hands to have him simply take out another one from the bag aiming once more beginning to shut towards the troops. Hitting a few but missing the rest. Finn about to intrude once more till Darren let out a yell dropping his gun as blood flowed down his arm. Looking around to see archers at the ready aiming towards them. "I blame you." Finn told grabbing a nearby shield.

"Good, I blame you for what happened in Egypt." Darren told seeing the archers prepare their bows to fire to have the screen cut to static. The screen adjusting once more showing an image of Finn and Darren side by side inside a car as Finn continued stirring the wheel left and right as Darren continued to shoot out the side of the window. "Drive, drive, drive." Darren yelled trying to reload his gun.

"I'm driving." Finn yelled taking a sharp right turn the front windshield shattering apart as loud growls were heard green colored hands reached for them as green slime oozed unto the dashboard of the car. Lifting his foot Finn kicked the Goo monster in the face sending it flying off the car into the road. Finn trying to take a right but the car not responding pulling on the wheel see that the wheel has been melted off the car. Stopping abruptly the car hitting the wall of a building, the two stayed motionless their faces planted on the air bags that deployed on time. The two remaining motionless as the sounds of the creatures approached them.
