~Chapter 1: Candy Kingdom Destroyed?~

" Come on, bro" Jake yelled me awake. " Princess Bubblegum is in trouble dude". His booming voiced pierced through my deep slumber.

" What! How do you know" I said in shock while I fought the tired away. I got out of bed and removed my red pajamas. I quickly got dressed in my slightly modified usual outfit. A year had passed since anything bad happened in Ooo since the Ice King was thrown in jail for creating a army of ice demons and trying to overthrow Bubblegum and the other princesses.

I've changed since then. I don't where my awesome hat anymore. I grew a couple of inches. I'm probably as tall as Marceline and Bubblegum. I now where a black shirt and white shorts that hang over my knees. My blond bangs go a little over my eyebrows. And, I now use a black tinted double edged sword, instead of Dad's sword, which I only use in emergencies.

" How do you know?" I said as I pulled on my shirt, pants, and shoes.

" LSP called me!" he answer urgently. " Come on, you're wasting time!"

" Then lets go, homie". I packed my remaining equipment in my green backpack, grabbed my sword and jumped on Jake. He used his magical powers to extend us out the nearest window and into the small grassy hills outside our treehouse. Jake then grew to an enormous size and walked towards the Candy Kingdom at a hurried pace.

I wonder what's going on with PB. I hope she's okay. What could be going on?. As Jake took his giant steps towards the Candy Kingdom, I took the time to look around. It seemed like Jake woke me up at sunset. The orange sky was awesome. Very beautiful. It made me calmer and let me think."

" Hey man, what's going on with Bubblegum?" I asked Jake, " I've been trying to figure out what could be happening, but I can't wrap my head around it. It can't be Ice King because he's in Lumpy Space Prison, and we have his crown. And can't be anyone else because the City of Thieves is on lockdown and Billy took the job of guarding Princess Bubblegum after I left.

" Dude I don't know, we're gonna find out in a little bit. Just try and rest man. OK?" He replied.

" Alright man" I said, without protest, as I laid down on his yellow furry back. I quickly drifted off to sleep.

LATER

" Finn quick wake up man, hurry, come on!" Jake's voice boomed through my dreams and woke me up. I stood on his back.

" What what! What is it!" I yelled in anger. Jake knew how cranky I got when I hadn't got enough sleep. I looked around again. The setting hadn't changed. But the Candy Kingdom was in the distance now. Jake doesn't respond. That's when I looked more closely at the Candy Kingdom. It was terrible. Fires spread out far and wide through the Kingdom. The whole castle was smoldering, large flaming chunks falling off.

" Oh no..." Was all I could say, all I could muster up. " Come on, Jake! Let's get in there!" I yelled. There was many terrible screams coming from inside the Kingdom. This made me even more pent up with rage. I jumped off Jake's back, not even thinking about how high we were. Fortunately for me, we weren't that high up.

Once I reached the ground, I ran to the entrance of the Kingdom. The once beautiful and happy entrance was scarred with many melted Candy People. There was signs of fire and burn marks. I closed my eyes and kept walking, unable to see the carnage and not gag.

The inside of the Kingdom wasn't much better. It was basically scorched to the ground. Barely any buildings were left and the ones that were weren't intact. All this fire...could it be her?

There were sign of life though. Not Candy People. Goblins. They were the ones attacking? No. They have major poo brain. They aren't smart enough for a planned attack. Someone must be manipulating them.

" Finn! Why did you leave me! This place is dangerous!" Jake yelled as he caught up with me. Unfortunately, all his yelling brought up the attention of the goblins a couple yards away from us. I reached for my sword. Jake grew to giant size. The goblins pulled some knives from their belts. And the fight began.

I looked around to get my bearings. Not much around, except for burning fires and ashes. Lots of burned corpses too. Or maybe melted...since they're made of candy? I don't know. Either way it was gross.

The goblins charged at me. There was three, but one laid back. " I'll handle this." I said to Jake. The first goblin that came at me slashed his knife at me, aiming for my chest. I sidestepped his attack, and delivered my own by hitting the back of his head with my sword hilt. The other goblin seemed weary of me, but he urged himself to attack. It jumped up and slashed at my jugular, trying to take me out quick. I tried to duck but it was too fast. The vile creature had cut my cheek.

It tried again with the same move. The goblin must have thought the move was effective and tried again. It's mistake. I grabbed its wrist and twisted it until it let go of the knife. I then headbutted him and let go of his wrist, letting his unconscious body slump to the floor.

Now for the third goblin, I thought as I looked at it. It was holding something in its small green hand. It looked like a bottle, but it had a paper hanging out of the opening. Like a...a...MOLOTOV! The goblin lighted the paper in the green bottle and, using all of his small goblin strength.

The bottle soared through the air. I didn't have enough to think. I smacked away the Molotov with my forearm, which of course almost instantly turned on fire. I yelled in pain, then grit my teeth. I ran up to the goblin and smacked him with my flaming forearm. The goblin screamed in pain and ran to a fountain. I followed it, patting my arm, trying to put out the flames to no avail.

It dipped its head into the water that was inside the marble fountain. I did the same with my arm. I instantly felt relief. The goblin submerged from the water. Its face looked horrible. The side I smacked was appear dark and leathery on the surface. Some of the skin was completely gone revealing a white layer of flesh. Blisters were scattered across his cheek. And swelling had appeared as well. In other words, he was a bloody mess.

I grabbed the back of his neck. " Who sent you.." I said with utter rage seeping through me.

"No on-" I punched him, cutting his sentence short. I grabbed my sword and held it in a blazing fire nearby until the black metal turn a hot red.

" Who sent you!" I yelled. The goblin didn't respond. I pressed the flat of my blade on the other side of his face. The goblin screamed in agony.

" WHO SENT YOU!"

" The Lich"
