Death waits patiently as Finn looks for the red orb he found in a dungeon not so long ago, he didn't expect Finn to be as willing to give something he found but it's better that it turned out this way. "And you were worried about having to force him to give it to you?" Primus asked. "Well if you hadn't explain to him what Althea needs it for, I wouldn't expect him to give it up immediately." After a few minutes more Finn got out of the tree house with the orb in his hands. "I owe Glob too much, if it helps him I'd be more than happy to give it to you." Finn voice out.
"Thank you Finn, be careful and enjoy your time off." Clay expresses his thanks, Death opens a portal to the council room and as they went through Finn said, "Whoever is in charge, I hope he does well." "Don't worry Finn, I'll be sure to tell 'Her' that." Finn was surprised when Death emphasized 'her' but before he could ask the portal closes leaving Finn hanging. "Jerks." He thought to himself. Meanwhile in the council room Althea is pleased to see Death with the orb and she inquired, "Did it go smoothly, I hope he complied with you." "It went just fine, here catch." Death tossed the orb to Althea, she barely caught it and she glared at Death.
She saw the three men holding smirking and she sighed deeply. "Just go, I'll be calling back when something come up okay?" "No problem, see you around." Death and Primus jumped down to a portal but Clay just stood there. "Is something bothering you clay?" Althea asked. He snapped back to reality and he answered, "OH! Nothing, just sorry about my brother." He jumped down quickly leaving Althea in wonder. Clay steps out of the portal and Death asks, "Do you think it's a good Idea to open the other doors?" "I don't know but with our situation we'll be needing all the help we can get." Primus answered. Clay arrived and he said. "Let's put our plan in motion." The two nodded and the dashed away.
Althea is looks at the orb, she goes up to the tower to summon the three doors again. "I wonder where this orb goes." She asked herself. As the doors lift up the orb began vibrating, when the doors were fully exposed Althea walked back down but as she approaches the door the orb flew from her hand and attached itself to the second door. The door's sides lit up. "That was convenient." She commented. The two surrounding doors sunk to the ground which made her worry a bit. "I hope those two come back." She went to the second door and placed her hand on the knob. "Okay here I go".
She opened the door and a blinding light greeted her, it went on for a few minutes and when it went back to normal the doors were gone and the key is back to her hands. She looked at her surroundings but nothing looked different so she decided to go to Ooo, there she knew that she was really in a different place. The base is nowhere to be seen and when she looked for Finn she saw him lying on a hospital bed and he was missing his arm. "Oh dear what happened here?" "He lost his arm while trying to find his father." Althea turned to see who answered her and there she saw Death. "Have you seen Glob, Althea?" he asked.
Finn POV
I gasped as I wake up, I was in the candy hospital again, "Glob it, I messed up again didn't I." "At least not as bad as you did last time." I looked at where it came from and I saw Doctor Princess writing on her clip board. "Welcome back Finn, as much as I want to say that you're okay but that flower on your arm is saying the opposite." I took a peek on my arm, every time I look at it all the bad things I did comes back. "Maybe I should just cut this thing away." DP slapped me and she said, "Every living thing is important Finn, that flower is a part of you, look I'm sorry."
"No it's fine, you're right. What should I do with this anyway?" I asked. "I think it thrives in pleasant feelings, I recommend that any feelings you have especially with Flame princess should be severed." I couldn't do that, even if the last time I tried she ordered her guards to drag me away I won't give up on her. I stood up to go and avoid any more talk about FP. "Are you going to the party tonight?" DP asked. "Nah, I'll just go home for the night." "Well see you around Finn, Take care of yourself." I waved good bye at her and I exited the kingdom silently to avoid attention. "Forget her, how could I?"
I asked myself that question over and over again while walking back to the tree house, I opened the door and a cheerful BMO came and greeted me. "FINN! You're back." He yelled. I picked him up and we went to the living room, "Oh hey brother, I thought you went to the beach party." "I'm not in the mood to see any princesses." I can feel Jake is about to start the talk again so I braced myself. "We need to talk about Flame princess, you need to let go of her." "I can't Jake, she was the one I went far with, all the memories we had, she needs to remember them." Jake extended his arm to get tea and he continued.
"Listen Finn, She is a king now. And last time I checked she had you sent away for pushing too far." "That's not true, I tried to reason with her but she just suddenly changed moods and got rid of me." I talked back. Remembering last time made my heart tighten. "Are you okay?" Jake asked. "I'm Fine I just need to get some fresh air." I walked outside and into the forest. I looked at the lake where she tried to touch water, the land beside it healed itself and flowers have been growing back ever since. I stared at the calm waters and I saw her reflection beside mine, I shot up and scanned the area but she wasn't there.
"I still love her, I need her." I back to the treehouse and I dug through the treasures, there I got a vial that contains flame shield. "One more time, I'll try again." Jake went down and saw that I had the vial in my hand. "Finn, you need to stop you're going to hurt yourself again!" "Don't stop me Jake, I need her to hear me out." I ran out of the house and Jake was hot on my trail. I managed to get to the forest and after fifteen minutes of nonstop running I plopped down from exhaustion just right outside the Fire kingdom. "Wait for me FP, I'm coming." I picked myself up and I poured the liquid on my head.

Cinnamon bun was guarding the throne, ever since Finn's last visit something changed inside Flame princess. She was cold towards her subjects, even him who is her knight, with his new found knowledge he built a theory that the flame king had something to do with Flame Princesses change. "What are you looking at pastry knight?!" Flame king asked Cinnamon bun. "I have my eyes on you Flame king, if you try to pull off something sinister I'll end you myself." "You and your accusations, what could I possibly achieve in this cell?" He was right, with him locked up and all of his conspirators arrested what could he do? Cinnamon bun was left thinking but his mind is still set on the king.
"Sir Cinnamon bun, the boy is back." A guard whispered at him. "Princess if you excuse me I have matters to attend to." "Go." She answered without even looking at him, this time he ignored it and went outside. There he saw Finn slowly walking towards the palace, Cinnamon bun rode Jake two to stop Finn. "I heard you just got out of the hospital Finn, I think you need to sit this night out." Finn looked at him and he said. "Don't get in my way CB, I need to talk to her". The knight went down from his fire hound and he said, "Finn you need to listen the princess looks out of it and seeing you might not help."
"This isn't going anywhere." Finn said. He kicked Cinnamon bun and rushed to the palace. The guards were ready to arrest Finn but Cinnamon bun stopped them. "I'll go and check on them." The dough knight began walking back to the palace. "Be careful Finn may Glob protect you." He continued walking but he was stopped by the people to greet him. Meanwhile in the palace Flame princess saw Finn and she said, "You haven't had enough?" she formed a fireball in her hands but Finn pleaded for her to listen to him. She accepted his plea and motioned her guards to step outside. "Thank goodness FP." Finn said while approaching her but he stopped when she signaled her hands.
"Listen Finn you lied to me, how could I expect you to tell the truth now?" "There you go again with all of that honesty thing, you shut me out because I lied once." When Finn finished his sentence he held his mouth. "I was loyal to you, I gave you everything and I opened up my life to you." Finn fell silent Flame princess assumed that he is done with his visit so she said, "If you don't have anything to say, go out now." "NO! I won't leave until you forgive me even if it costs my life!" "Very well as you wish." The fire royal threw a fire ball at the hero. "If you die right here, I will forgive you!"
Cinnamon bun is done with the citizens of the fire kingdom so he went back to the palace, in front was all of the guards. Cinnamon bun could hear raging flames inside so he asked. "What is happening inside?" his question was answered when an explosion occurred and he saw that Finn was sent flying. "Let me in." he commanded the guards. When he got inside Flame princess was panting from using too much of her powers. The first thing Cinnamon bun worried about was Finn, he rushed to where he crashed and he saw him some of his skin was burnt and the flower was about to catch in flames. "We need to get you out of here." Cinnamon bun said.
Princess Bubblegum POV
I wept at Finn's condition, his body was covered in bandages. Cinnamon bun reported that it was caused by Flame princess, I always knew that she was volatile but I never thought that she could do this to him. "He's awake your majesty." Peppermint butler said. I cleared my tears and I went to the private ward, and there he was crying while Jake was comforting him. "It's no use PB, I got him some Cyclops tears. I guess it's too devastating for him." I sighed and thanked Jake for taking care of Finn. I motioned CB to come in and when he saw Finn he quickly bowed and he said. "I'm sorry Finn, if only I got there sooner I could have helped you."
Finn covers his eyes which made Cinnamon bun sigh, "I will be back princess, I still have my duties to fulfill." I went out of the room with him and I asked, "What do you think happened to her CB?" "I don't know myself Princess but I will keep my eye closer on her and I will send you any information whenever I can." "Thank you Cinnamon bun, take care." I said as he bowed again. I watched as he walks out and I went back to the room. Finn took his arm away from his eyes and he started crying again. "What's the matter Finn, do you still hate Cinnamon bun?" Jake asked while peeling apples for him.
"No I just feel bad for CB, instead of listening to him I kicked him. He was only protecting me but I was blinded to see it." I was relieved that Finn is slowly coming back to his old self, he still sad so I tried to cheer him up. "I have some time today Finn, do you want to come and stroll around with me?" his cries went down to sobs but he refused and when I asked why he answers, "I don't know if I could love a princess again." One sentence that I will never forget. Finn has lost his compassion for us princesses. I felt defeated so I just sat beside his bed and I held his hand.
He moved his hand away from me, I was tearing up but I heard Marceline outside the door so I wiped it away and I said, "You can come in." She kicked the door open and rushed to Finn and she asked, "What were you thinking, I told you that the fire guards won't treat you kindly next time." "If you plan on cheering him up you need to change strategies." Jake said. Marceline grabbed one of the unpeeled apples and she sucked the red out of it. "What was it you were saying Jake?" "n-n-nothing good job Marcy!" he said while retreating. "It's not the guards who did this to him Marceline." She turned with her eyes wide open.
"Who did it, did scorcher come back?" "No, uhh, Flame princess did." I felt the air grew cold. Finn sat up and began shaking Marceline, I walked to his back and I saw Marceline's eyes are slowly going red. "Marcy wake up, stop acting like this!" Finn's words pulled her back and she looked at us, Finn and I are both worried and Jake was trembling on one corner. "I'm sorry you guys." She plainly said as she float out of the door, I went with her and I asked. "What do you plan on doing now?" "I'll kick that little princess ass out, she'll pay for what she did. "Why are you doing this?" "Cause Finn is like family to me."
Marceline POV
That guy seriously! I guess I was the one who is stubborn, I've kept this feeling from him for a long time and now that he need me I will give everything I have for him. My phone rang, I answered it and it was Bonnibel. "You can't stop me bonnie! I'm immortal so it's fine." "No, do not attack her at all cost. We cannot afford another war like last time." Her concern slowed me down. I remembered all the blood on my hands, she was right but it's still not enough to stop me from going. "I understand." I heard a sigh from the other side and I continued, "I'll make sure to keep her alive." "Marce-" I dropped the call.
I arrived at the fire kingdom, my old friend the old king was the one who welcomed me here. "I'm sorry, but your granddaughter needs to learn her lessons." I made myself invisible and I walked to the palace safely. The heat was extremely affecting my skin but it wasn't sunlight so it's fine. I got to the throne doors, it recognized my aura so it opened. "Who goes there?" Cinnamon bun asked. I removed my invisibility and the little princess quickly glared at me. "You're friends with Finn, what do you want?" I hate that attitude. "You were his girlfriend, how could you do that to him!?" The guards poised to strike me down but she sent them away.
"I'll ask again, what is it you want?" "Damn you!" I charged at her but she placed a wall of flames between us. I hissed at her but she simply intensified the flames which made me retreat. "Why are you even doing this, Finn is a liar he deserves to be punished." "Is that the punishment he deserved? I know that he makes mistakes but after that he does everything he can to fix it. He is a nice guy and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that!" The flames died down and she began laughing frantically. I stood straight but I kept my guard, but I was not prepared to what she was about to say said next.
"I see, you have feelings for him!" "Since when?" Cinnamon bun asked. I was panicking and losing my composure. But remembering Finn I sighed and answered, "A long time now CB". "So that's why you left. Finn mentioned your departure a while back, when he was with me." I felt that I was about to cry but her next words brought back my anger. "Then you could have him, the two of you will make a beautiful couple. A liar and a deceiver." The barrage of hurtful words took its toll on me, but I need to be strong, for Finn. I raised my head and glared at her, she had an angering smirk on her face. "What now, 'Marceline'."
I took a deep breath and I exclaimed, "I will make Finn forget about you and I'll make him regret being with you in the first place, just wait and see it will be as if you never met!" I made sure that my plan is heard loud and clear, she sat down and said, "Is that all you want to say." "Yes and it is all you need to hear." I walked out of the throne room, I felt as if my chest was lighter but as I walk away I heard a loud thud and I heard Cinnamon bun yelling the guards to help. I became worried but I brushed it off and went on my way. "I'll show them, Finn I hope I can make you happy, my love."
