The Carbon Prince
Part 1
"I guess playing dodge-knives wasn't the best idea." Finn said as he winced.
"Yeah maybe we should just stick to drop ball." Jake replied. Finn was riding on Jake's back, making their way back to their tree fort. Finn was covered in small cuts and dirt. Jake got away with minimal scratches. As they were making their way back fin spotted something in the grass near the tree fort.
"Hey Jake what's that in the grass over there?" Finn slid down Jake's side and walked over to the strange spots in the grass.
"I dunno Finn they look like some kind of foot prints. Looks like they're heading that way." Jake said as he began to follow them.
"Do you think we should follow them?" Finn asked musingly.
"If you want. Looks like they're heading toward Candy KIngdom anyway. Might stop by and get PB to fix you up."
"Alrighty lets go!"
"WAIT!" Jake yelled before Finn took off running. Jake stretched into the shape of a magnifying glass, landing in Finns hand. "Now you can go!"
"ITS DETECTIVE TIME!"
Finn and Jake followed the footprints into the candy forest. They didn't go too far into the forest when they heard a soft weeping coming from ahead. "Hey who do you think that is?" Finn said quietly to Jake."
"I donno. Get closer and find out."
"Right" Finn slowly walked through the forest following the prints. He saw a clearing ahead and saw a solid black mass on its knees staring into a small pond sniffling. Finn crouched behind a fallen tree and continued to spy on the thing. "Do you think I should say something?" Finn asked Jake in a whisper.
"Its up to you man. I don't want to get into his personal bizz ya know."
"Good point. But what if he-uhhh-it needs help?"
Jake didn't have time to answer as a voice suddenly called out, "Hello? Is someone there?" Finn stood up slowly and walked into the clearing.
"Yeah we totally were not spying on you. We were about to come out actually." Finn said awkwardly. Jake stretch back into his normal self as Finn continued. "I'm Finn the human and this is Jake the dog." Finn finished as he pointed to Jake.
"Uh hi." Jake said timidly.
"Uhh hi Im Crystal Prince" The black being said as he backed away a little. He stood up revealing his height and stature. The Crystal Prince Stood at about five foot eight inches, almost five inches taller than Finn. Crystal Prince had a bulky build, and the edges of his frame were all straight, sharp edges as if he was carved from some sort of rock. Finn stepped closer, but Crystal Prince kept backing away. "Don't get close! I don't want to turn you ugly." Crystal Prince said as he backed away again.
"What do you mean turn me ugly?" Finn said confused.
"Everything I touch turns black and grey. Thats why im out here. I was banished from Crystal Kingdom for being cursed. They couldn't have an ugly king in the throne." Crystal Prince said as he dipped his hand in the water turning the spot black."See?"
"I have an idea! we can go see if Princess Bubblegum can help. We're really close to the Candy Kingdom anyway. PB's really smart with science and stuff. I bet she could help you while I get patched up." Finn said excitedly.
"You sure she can help me?" Crystal prince said optimistically.
"Sure she helps people all the time with her science!" Jake said as he stretched into a larger form of himself picking up Finn in the process. "Hey Crystal Prince jump on."
Crystal Prince looked up shyly,"I'd rather walk with the whole ugly curse thing."
"Oh yeah sorry man. Just follow me." Jake said as he began the short trip to Candy Kingdom.
A few minutes later the trio arrived in Candy Kingdom. Jake stretched back down and walked with Finn to the castle. Crystal Prince slowey followed behind looking timidly and gloomily at the staring candy people. The trio slowly made their way into the castle crowding into the main hall of the castle. "Yo PB where you at?!" Finn suddenly yelled.
"Hello Finn." Princess Bubblegum said as she appeared from around the corner. "Oh my glob what happened to you? We must get you to the infirmary at once!" Bubblegum worriedly said once she saw Finns injuries. Two candy people quickly showed up with a stretcher next to Finn.
"I'm fine princess. Jake and I were just playing dodge-knives."
"You need to stop playing that stupid game. One day your gonna lose your eye. And who is that." She pointed at Crystal Prince.
"Uhh this is Crystal Prince. He needs your help." Finn said quickly as he motioned for Crystal Prince to step forward.
"Uhh I was banished from my kingdom for being ugly. Finn said you might be able to fix my curse." Crystal Prince said shyly.
"Ok I'll see what I can do. Curses and magic is just misunderstood science anyway. Oh and Finn can you please go to the infirmary and get bandaged up. Meet me in my lab when you're done."
Up in PB's lab Crystal Prince was nervously sitting in the middle of the room while PB was inspecting him. "What is you're so called curse anyway?" PB said curiously as she continued to prod Crystal Prince.
"Umm everything I touch turns ugly." Crystal Prince said as he looked at his footprints all over the floor.
'Ahh huh." PB was sticking some sort of wires to Crystal Princes chest when she noticed bandaged Finn walk through the door. "Ahh just in time I'm about to run some tests on Crystal Prince."
After PB finished running multiple tests on Crystal Prince she finally came up with an conclusion. "Finn theres nothing wrong with Crystal Prince other than the fact he turns everything black. He appears to be fine."
Crystal prince looked up from his seat,"So you can't help me? Im going to be like this forever?"
PB sighed,"To be fair I dont even think your composed of crystal so you might want to think of a new name. Unless…" Bubblegum quickly turned around and picked up a hammer and pick from off the table. She quickly chiseled a fragment of Crystal Princes side off, barely phasing him. She put the fragment into some machine and it started buzzing and beeping. "Thats It!"
"What's It?!" Finn, Jake, and Crystal Prince said in union
"Crystal Prince, you must have been born with a mutation causing your chemical structure to be different from your kin. You're made of pure carbon in the forms of coal and graphite. My guess is that the rest of your kingdom is diamond which is another form of carbon." All three of the guys looked confused. "He is just made differently." PB said shortly.
"So can you fix it?" Finn and Crystal Prince said simultaneously.
"Not unless you want me burn you and crush you nearly to death at the same time then no, I cannot fix your chemical structure. Good news is you're not cursed! Carbon and graphite just rub off easily. You're basically a giant living pencil."
Jaked perked up,"Cooool"
"Oh and since you're not a crystal I believe Carbon Prince is a more suiting name." PB added.
"Ahg you have too many names I'm just gonna call you CP." Jake yawned. "Its getting late we better head out Finn."
"Yeah, Thanks P-bubs!" Finn said as he was about to leap out the window. He looked back at CP and remembered he didn't have anywhere to go. "Hey CP want to sleep over at our house tonight?"
"Yeah thanks! But I don't want to turn everything black."
"Already ahead of ya." Pb said as she pulled out a plastic suit. "This is an older model of a hazardous materials suit created. If you wear this you should only turn the inside black." She handed it to CP.
CP slipped on the suit. It was a little tight but would work. Once the suit was on CP and Finn jumped on Jake's pack as he stretched out the window. They soon arrived at the tree fort.
"Well this is home. You can sleep on the couch here, and there's spaghetti in the fridge if you get hungry. Tomorrow we can build you a house or find you a cave or something." Finn said tiredly as he climbed up to his room.
