Hey guys! This is gonna be a multichapter. WITH A PLOT.
GASP!
So, anyway, this is a version of how Marshall Lee the lovely Vampire King and Fionna the epic Human met.
I do not own Adventure Time with Finn and Jake.
EDIT: I'm redoing the story, so, things may not match up for a bit. Sorry, I'll be trying my best. And I don't own Adventure Time.
"Er…what's this?" I asked, picking up one of the bright blue cakes Gumball made. I looked to Cake, who shrugged at me helplessly.
"Hm? Oh, those!" Gumball came over. "They're a new recipe! I've combined science and baking for these. Using a number of ingredients, I created a night vision potion. I decided to bake them into cakes before having you try them, however, so that it would taste better," he explained.
"Oh," I said, squishing it between my hands, uncertain. Purple ooze came out. "That's cool, I guess." Some ooze dripped onto my hand, and I dropped it with a yell. "OUCH!" Gumball started and then tsked in disapproval, wiping the burning jelly off my hands. "You expect me to EAT this?!" Cake hissed.
"Why yes, I do!" said Gumball firmly. "It only burns your skin. If you swallow without chewing, your stomach acid digests it almost immediately, and it is absorbed into your bloodstream, travels to your head, and then the night vision takes effect."
"If you say so," I said. Gumball wrapped his scary cakes in a cloth and gave them to me.
"I want you two to try these cakes out, alright? Eat two at the most and wait about five minutes. I want you to tell me how well it works, how long it works, and if you feel any side effects, okay?" he said. I nodded and put them safely in my backpack.
"Can do, Prince Gumball!" I said, saluting him. Me and Cake started off. He began shouting to us while we were walking out the door.
"Good luck and have fun!" he cheered. "Goodbye!"
"Bye Gumball!" Cake and I called back. The doors slammed shut behind us. "Hmm." I stared at the sun, trying to guess how much time we had left before it was dark enough.
It turns out that Gumball's cakes worked after all. My night vision was perfect. I could see almost every hair on the back of a giant bear-beast. Cake and I were crouched low in the tall grass, watching and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
The wind changed direction and the bear grunted and slowly limped around, it eyes flashing flat green. Cake shot out of the grass and tackled it with a sharp hiss. The bear roared and I charged, laughing like the eleven year old I am, swinging my sword.
I managed to slice its shoulders up pretty well.
"Take that!" I shouted, nearly severing its long, scorpion-like tail. It glared at me so hard it eyes burst into flames. I had to jump back to avoid being set on fire. I laughed. "Now it gets a little challenging! Come at me, you big, stupid, hairy piece of-AHH!" The bear had swatted me over the edge of the cliff, and I was sailing through the air, screaming and flailing.
A pair of cold arms wrapped around my waist and pressed me to a slightly less cold chest and I stopped free falling. I was carefully lowered to the ground and let go of. My legs gave out beneath me and I sat on the ground, clutching at a tuft of grass as I caught my breath.
"Are you okay?" I looked up. A dude stood there, wearing an old flannel shirt, ratty jeans, and beat up tennis shoes, and a wicked axe guitar hanging off of his back by an abused leather strap.
"Couple…seconds…" I breathed, pressing my forehead to the ground and waiting for the world to stop trembling. "Okay. Fine now," I said with a sigh, rolling up. The dude who caught me mid-air crossed his arms and tossed his head, flicking his black hair out of his eyes. "What?"
"Well?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. I furrowed my own together.
"Well what?" I asked, thoroughly confused. He sighed, exasperated.
"Well," he said, "do I get to know your name?" he tapped his foot. "I'm a busy dude, kid."
"I'm not a kid! I'm…er…"
"I'm waiting~" he sang. "If you're not gonna tell me, I'll just take off, then." He started to rise up before I grabbed his wrist and pulling him to the ground again.
"Fionna! My name's Fionna the Human," I said. Something in his look changed as he tilted his head to the side.
"Human, eh?" I nodded. "And here I was, thinking they were all dead." He chuckled. "Well, Fionna the Human, I'm Marshall Lee, the Vampire King," he said , bowing really low.
"V-v-vampire?" I stuttered. Cake told me about vampires. I began edging away. Vampires were ruthless and would kill you without a second thought. They would drink all your blood mist and laugh as they frolicked in the crimson spray.
He chuckled again and grinned, revealing long, ivory fangs. I was hypnotized. "Yeah, got a pro-?" he shut up as I jumped over, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him down to my level.
"Woah! Dude! Those are cool!" I said.
"?!" he demanded as I observed his fangs.
"Yeah! All sharp and deadly and junk!" I said.
"Eshh'coose me!" he said, yanking back. He glared at me. "I'm a vampire. A deadly, ruthless vampire! Why aren't you running?"
"If you're so mean, you would've just let me fall!" I explained. He gave me an absolutely blank look. I'm talking slack jaw here. He quickly snapped out of it. "Hey, while you're bein' nice and all, can you float me back up there?" I asked, jerking my thumb to where I fell from.
"Huh? Oh, sure," he said. He grabbed her under my arms and up we went.
"Oh, boy! Wait till I tell Gumball about this! A friendly vampire! It's so algerbraic-why did we stop?" I turned to look at Marshall. He was giving me a hard look.
"You know Prince Gumball of the CandyKingdom?" he asked quietly. I nodded. "Do you know him enough to tell him something for me?" I nodded. "Word for word?"
"Hero's Honor!" I promised.
"Good. Tell him Marshall Lee is in town, and…" he whispered the sentence in my ear. I stared at him in shock.
"I-I can't tell him that!" I squeaked.
"Hero's Honor, remember?" he chided before flinging me back up to the cliff.
"NOT AGAAIIINNN!"
