Fall

Chapter 1

all across Ooo the sun is setting. The Light going away and the dark coming in, an end to the day, the beginning of rest. A reassuring sigh from the average worker, an end to his hours of struggling. People getting off the streets from all different places, and going back into there homes with their family's to sleep for the next day of work ahead of them, The guards vigilantly watching over their settlements and city's respectively. In the fire kingdom, the volcanos starting to die down from a days worth of pumping out magma and fire rock, and taking a rest. The few residents of the grasslands settling in for the night. The Goblins resting, no fear of attack from a former ruler. The eastern docks hauling their last goods in their ships, and sailing for one last journey. The evil forces that be, coming out from hiding to terrorize the night. And the Candy Kingdom, in the day a busy metropolis, but in the night a sleeping city, one of the only resident being up is the nations proud ruler, studying new types of advanced technology.

All the while a young man, aged 16 or 17, stands atop the red roof of a candy abode,, watching the sun slowly set. He does this regularly, just to catch a break from his daily life and take a time to think. It was a difficult life for him. 2 years. Has it really been that long?...

The teenager wears a luxurious blue coat , some thing that a high ranking official would wear, along with a white cravat. A blue hood, with what almost looks like a beak coming down. The hood also had lines and details that were gold and red. The only part of his head that wasn't obscured by the hood or it's darkness was his mouth and the few golden locks coming out of his hood.

The boy no longer has his signature white bear hat, casting it away years ago, considering it to childish. His white belt had a few pockets and a red sash running through it. It looked like a generals. His pants were gray, with finely crafted boots at the bottom. The last part of his attire was his white and gold scabbard, which carried his rapier, and the holster at the back of the belt, which held a pistol.

Nights are the time he's most active, protecting the people, doing his job. It was rare that he got a moment to just think like this, since the job is extremely demanding.

The publicity was hard to. Everyone knew who he was. Sometimes it was just hard to keep up with the press. Sometimes he didn't even want to read what they had to say about him. what they said occasionally brang up... Bad memories. memories he did not want to relive.

As he looked out to the sun set, music playing in the background, coming from on the houses, his watch started ringing, interrupting his train of thought. He then tapped his watch, which in turn displayed a small blue hologram, with a women in a pink dress being the figure that it showed to him, having a look of worry on her face.

"Yo Finn! I need you to go the the earldom of Lemongrab,, Were at war and my troops needed assistance!" the blue figure said And waited for a response

"I'm on my way princess" he said in a somewhat low voice, and then tapped his watch again, which turned off the communication device.

He then got one last look at the sky, then got up and jumped off the building, traveling to his destination, his cape flapping behind him.

with a storm coming from the east isles, on the top of a lush green hill covered in grass and the occasional rock, near the battlefield, castle Lemongrab, there was a large camp was set up, housing numerous types of soldiers for the candy kingdom in their assault. Row by Row, there were white and brown tents, in a perfectly straight line, being inhabited by the iconic Bananna Guard

Outside one of the larger tents, Princess Bubblegum was surrounded by several Bannana guards as she looked through a hand held golden telescope, Watching the battle unfold between her not particularly bright guards, and the Earls Mechanical soldiers.

The Fight really wasn't fair. Every wave of Bannana Guards were beaten back by the blades of mechanical robots, their lifeless body's lying dead on the floor, a sticky yellow subatance littering the battlefield. You could call it a massacre. But then again that would be an understatement. this would be a mega massacre. 1000s of those poor oafs were being slaughtered and the machines didn't show any sign of mercy, or letting up

the only thing the Bananna Guards had going for them was their sheer numbers. Everytime everyone one of them was killed and their bodys dropped to the ground, or one of the guards running away in fear of his life, 2 more Bannana Guards would rush in to join fight, doing the best they could against some of Ooo's criminal lowlife. i just hope some of those yellow oafs make it to glob

The best Princess bubblegum could and would hope was that Finn would arrive in time, to save her army from total destruction. She had poured most of her forces into this attack, tried every different tactic, but none worked. this was the puzzle her brain could not figure out.

The Earl of Lemongrab had somehow found a way to build the machines to fight against the candy kingdom. Princess Bubblegum had made the first move, in what she thought would be a smart maneuver, but she underestimated the robots capabilities, and a consequence of that was that the Earl was wiping the battlefield. she could only count on Finn to save her army from utter destruction, and leaving her kingdom undefended.

"Finn, You need to get here" she muttered under her breath as she continued to watch the battle play out, hoping that finn would arrive in time, or that her oafs of troops would somehow start winning the battle, which at this point, displayed by all the bloodshed, wasn't a realistic possibility. so all the benevolent princess of the candy kingdom, regarded as one of the strongest kingdoms in Ooo, could do was wait. either for the cruel fate to close in on her army, or for the protector of Ooo to save the day.

In the yellow Throne Room of Castle Lemongrab, far away and safe from the battle that was currently in full effect, The Earl was peacefully sleeping, his head laid down on the arm rest of his Lavishly decorated throne. Every slightest detail was payed attention to when the slave craftsman were making it, from importing the finest stone, to making every part of it sanded 7 times over. They wanted to do a great job, so they would not have too spend extra time in the reconditioning chamber, on orders of their despot. The room was probably more lavish than other kingdoms throne rooms, in fact maybe after it's renovation was done it probably became the most lavish of them all. But then again that is a matter of opinion. But no one can deny it was quite nice, with the yellow walls, the numerous balcony a in the room, and the Brown statue in front of the Earl that was spitting out water in an amazing display of perfection, streams spewing out of the fountain in all directions, amusing some of the guards with its water works. it really was horrible it had to belong to a cruel ruler.

All was relatively peaceful, despite the occasional sound of screaming and cannon fire. But Suddenly one of the guards moaned, which got the attention of the others. The guard then dropped to the ground, blood spilling out everywhere, tarnishing the floor. There was a dagger in his back. While all was this was happening, the Earl was still oblivious to it, not having a care in the world about his subjects, just continuing to doze off.

The Earl had no concern for those who tirelessly worked for him. In fact he didn't even notice when all the guards dropped into a coma. He just continued his sleeping, dreaming about his lemony paradise. That's what he wanted Ooo to be. Lemonland, a childish amusment park all about him, in which he ruled everything, everyone obeyed him, and he was the center attention. Unfortunatley that was not the case in the real world. So far fetched, anyone would burst out laughing at that idea. Everyone hates him. He would never rule the world.

But thus he continued to doze off until there was a sharp pain at the top of his head that felt like several bees had stung him hard. His big eyes came open, feeling the pain that was coming from the top of his head, He lifted his hands and tried to feel the pointy top of his head, but it was flat, and his "juice" was flowing down his head. it was like a 24/7 waterfall. He then turned his head to the back of his throne, to find a small knife stuck to the soft pillows of the chair. He Grotted his teeth violently while looking at it. He then Snapped.

He swung his head around to see the "Culprit" who did this. And about 20 feet in front of him, was Finn, holding his sword at his side in one hand, and 3 small throwing knvies in the other.

The Earl instantly knew who this was. The boy. the boy that had tormented him for so long, the boy that had recently foiled his plans for world domination, the boy that ruined him and his empire. He was infuriated this boy could do something as vile as disgracing him so hard. He had his hands rolled up in to fists, as he stood up, a steady stream of sweat dripping down from his forehead which was already covered in his own blood.

"GUARDS! Seize this inferior being!" Screamed the Earl, as he pointed his fingure towards the Masked Hero. The Earl though, was still unaware to the fact all of his guards had been stabbed or non-lethally poisoned.

"your latest statement just shows your arrogance" said Finn, throwing his 3 knives to the side, knowing that they would not be of very great use during close combat

"HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME!" screamed the Earl, pulling out his sword out of pure anger towards Finn, who just severely damaged his Ego.

"Not as fat as I remembered" Finn said under his breath, as he prepared for the attack he going to face shortly.

"YOU ARE GOING TO DIE TODAY BOY! THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU FOIL MY PLANS, THIS IS THE LAST TIME YOU RUIN ME!" he screeched, his voice causing the birds poirched on the roof of the castle to fly away, his high pitched scream even breaking a window, the shattered glass falling to the ground.

The Earl then started running towards Finn, his sword raised behind his head, whir finn put out his own sword in front of him. as the earl finally ran up to him, he unsuccessfully tried to stab the hero, only to be blocked by his sword.

The Earls Sword and Finns clashed together, producing the sounds of Iron and other metals banning against each other. The Earl continuously tried to swing at Finn, but he deflected them with ease. it was if the earl didn't know how to fight at all

As they were fighting, The Earl pressed his sword against his opponents, hoping he would buckle under the pressure, but Finn showed no sign of exhaustion. Instead, Finn kicked the Earl in the stomach, sending him flying backwards into his fountain, his body crashing against his own statue, causing immense pain.

the earl quickly got his body out of the enormous amount of pain he was experiencing and found enough strength to choice up a sentence.

"try you worst boy! YOU WILL NVER DEFEAT ME!" he screamed, once again charging

n slowly started walking up to him step by step, all while the Earl was moaning. He was in immense pain, but a thought in his mind wanted him to try one last thing against what he deemed, the "inferior creature". So out of pride, the Earl regained himself, looking to his sword, then looking at Ooo's Protector who was walking towards him. He then lifted his sword and pointed it at him.

"SOUND SWORD!" He screeched, sending waves of emery at his target, hoping they would do something. he closed his eyes and sat like that for a few seconds. he finally opened them, But only to see instead of harming him, they did nothing, as the hero kept walking towards him. He then sent another one, but the same result followed.

"I'm.. IMPOSSIBLE! No one is that strong!" he said, terror filling his body and mind as he started to scoot away from him, not being able to imagine how his opponent would be able to deflect that kind of blast.

Finn kept walking toward The Earl, until he stopped about a foot in front of him, took a small remote out of his pocket, the biggest thing on it being a red button with the words, "deactivate" written in bold, out of his coat, and tossed in in front of the Earl, only saying to "surrender" implying that he wanted him to shut off the mechanical soldiersz.

"never! I will never submit to y-" said the Earl, but his talk was interrupted by Finns foot colliding with his stomach, which made him sink to the ground in agony, and he was starting to cough up his own blood, little blobs of it littering the stone floor around him.

"that wasn't the answer I was looking for" said Finn, while the Earl was was desperately crawling away from him, which earned him another kick in the gut. In fact, Finn was about to kick him one more time, before the Earl said something that stopped him from doing it.

"Wait! Wait I'll do it!" He said, coughing several time throughout the sentence, as he picked up the device.

"This was easier than I thought it would be" Finn muttered as he carefully watched Lemongrab pick up the device, making sure he wouldn't try anything.

The Earl looked at the small black box in the clutch of yellow fingers. It was as if all of his sins he had committed were coming back to haunt him. He knew the consequences that were going to come in his future. He could hear the clanking of his mechanical soldier in the near hallways, probably having gotten word of what was happening here, but he knew thier efforts would be hopeless against the boy. He slowly took and breath, and then lifted his finger to press the button. The force of his gently pushed the button down popping up back up again.

Isle of Steam, 27 miles off the coast of the Fire Kingdom

"hold your ground men!" shouts a fire elemental commander trying to be confident and stay calm of what is probably death himself charging right at him and his men. He was wearing armor typical for an officer in the army of the fire kingdom. Behind him his spearman, very nervous if they will survive this coming fight, explosions bursting all around them, entire units lying dead in the street. This regiment inside the governors mansion was the last pocket of royal troops on the entire island.

rushing up the steps charging at them with weapons were the native inhabitants of the island. Part Mountain part Fire Elemental, a popular name for them being Volcanians. This long rebellious province was first an set of independent nations scattered across the island, all allied. In the year 2579,when the mountain kingdom had almost half of ooo, the Mountain kingdom Military launched an offensive from the mainland to take the island. The locals, lacking an efficient military force and being divided, fell quickly, and soon the island was overrun. A small resistance group though, named the army of steam, retreated to the mountain temples and continued to fight a guerilla war for A long period of time. under the strict rule of the mountain kingdom, all "rebel" forms of thought were outlawed, secret police forces lurking around every city corner. Then, in 2597, the 3rd Fire Kingdom civil war had just ended, and the new ruler, Ignius II, needed new resources desperately. all of the fire kingdoms gold and metAl mines had been drained, and his kingdom could not pay off the debt from the war and the expenses to upkeep a military, and with the treasury slowly sinking into the ground, he was running out of options. The mountain kingdom then negotiated a deal with the fire kingdom that they would give them the resource rich Isle, for 100,000 pieces of gold coin. Within days of the agreement the fire kingdoms military moved in, facing much resistance form the locals, but after many massacres the resistance was either killed, or the remaining members put their weapons down and surrendered. But rebel sentiment carried on. When Ignius III, better known as flame king, was deposed, his daughter rose to power. She immediately enacted the total honey law, which extended to not just the fire kingdom, but also it's overseas territory's. This immediately put almost all resistance leaders in jail on charges of lying to official government intelligence agents. 7 of 8 were executed. This, along with the guerrillas in the mountains being killed, was a cry for rebellion. An armed crowd on Globcember the 6th stormed Steam Prison, and released over 4000 members of resistance groups. On the same day in the countryside, citizens ransacked armories and local police stations, and collaborators were hung. The total members of the revolutionary army, 5000. Royal guards on the island. 1300. Within days army's of the revolution marched into the regional Capitol, royalist forces forced to fight a guerrilla war which was unfamiliar and had no knowledge about. After a week, all royal forces except one regiment are in prison camps or dead. And now here we are.

"Incoming!" Shouted the officer as the enemy collided head on to his spearman, just mowing them down and pushing them out of the way.

"Hold the line!" Were his words before he was killed by the enemy unit. As soon as they destroyed the unit defending the main gate, about 200 or so men rushed in to the massive yard outside the governor mansion, facing little resistance to their assault. They ran up the stairs to the main doors about to ransack then entire building. They quickly busted open the door, and ran into the hallways of the building.

Some broke off to the check the side doors wile other continued to follow their officer, who was carrying the flag. The main unit quicily turned corners and found an empty stairwell. They went up it being cautious for enemy soldier or archers, that could easily inflict damage on to them. As they slowly went up the stairs the men in the yard continued to fight small pockets of royal guard who carried on the fight.

Archers in the courtyard were brought in to stop the enemy snipers As soldiers with sword and spears made their way into surrounding building to slay the remains of the enemy. As they fought the enemy archers,while receiving cover fire from their own, the soldiers made their way up to the top of the building, killing the last two enemy combatants. As a unit on a surrounding building took out a pair of binoculars, the commander looked through them. He noticed that everyone was cheering in the front yard, and he was puzzled by this, but not for long. As he tilted the binoculars to the top of the building, he could see why. At the top of the flag pole, the fire kingdoms flag was not waving. But, instead the banner that was flapping in the wind proudly was the flag of the isle of steam. The war had been won. A small smile crept onto the officers face as he took the binoculars away from his eyes. For he was witnessing the creation of a new kingdom. A new way of governing. The Republic of Steam.
